when did it become en vogue to prounounce having disorders like they're farking character traits? AARGH.

I have bipolarsexual dysmorphic ammenodepressive disorder btw. Gotta take it one day dick at a time.

The world needs henchmen too.

The kid in question?

Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a recognised psychiatric condition said to affect between one and 16 per cent of school-age children.

They are consistently surly, with a pattern of unco-operative, defiant and hostile behaviour towards authority figures.

How does this not describe every teenager?

from the DSM IV:

Diagnostic criteria

1. A pattern of negativistic, hostile, and defiant behavior lasting at least 6 months, during which four (or more) of the following are present:
Note: Consider a criterion met only if the behavior occurs more frequently than is typically observed in individuals of comparable age and developmental level.
a)often loses temper
b)often argues with adults
c)often actively defies or refuses to comply with adults' requests or rules
d)often deliberately annoys people
e)often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior
f)is often touchy or easily annoyed by others
g)is often angry and resentful
h)is often spiteful or vindictive
2)The disturbance in behavior causes clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning.
3)The behaviors do not occur exclusively during the course of a Psychotic or Mood disorder.
4)Criteria are not met for Conduct Disorder, and, if the individual is age 18 years or older, criteria are not met for Antisocial personality disorder.


In other words, the average Farker. (new window)

Beating is not always the answer. I have a much more obvious way - stop rewarding bad behaviour, and let them punish themselves. Example:

My son tried his first temper tantrum at age three. Wouldn't take his nap, even though he was exhausted. My wife tried to get him to do it, but he screamed and screamed until they were both angry and upset. She came downstairs, and upstairs I went to take over.

Son: SCREAM!!!

Me: OK, you have a choice. You can either take a nap, or this toy (picking up one at random, but in reality one that should have been thrown away anyway) goes into the trash can forever. It's all your choice. What will it be?

Son: SCREAM!!!

Me: OK. (Toy goes into bin.) That's your choice!

Son: DOUBLE SCREAM!!!

Me: Don't yell at me, that was your choice. OK, now you have another choice. You can either take a nap, or another toy goes into the trash can forever. It's your choice. What will it be?

Son: SCREAM!!!

Me: OK. (Another toy goes into bin.) That's your choice!

Son: TRIPLE SCREAM!!!

Me: Like I said, it was your choice. OK, you have another choice. You can either take a nap, or yet another toy goes into the trash can forever. It's your choice. What will it be?

Son goes to sleep for two hours, never repeats episode again. And yes, the toys did get thrown away forever. But he learned that his actions, both good and bad, had consequences. That's what this brat needed from the start.

Sonny's jobless single mother Nadine West, 38, who has three other children, said: 'I have done everything in my power to rein him in, but he just does not listen to me.'

That's because he has no respect for you, because you're a farking useless parent who's leeching off the state, you obviously can't keep your legs together, and you probably compensate by trying to buy your children's love using taxpayers' money, you tattooed twunt. How much did the Daily Fail pay you to advertise how farking useless you are as a parent? And your little toe rag just got rewarded for his rotten behaviour by being famous. Good job, mum. Go EABOD and take your little terror with you.

This. Worked just fine on me as a kid, works like a charm on my kids as well. Deleting favourite shows from the DVR is very effective as well, and is slightly more cost-efficient.

Doesn't take the loss of too many favourite toys/shows before they start to behave.

Well. That's ODD.

Let's see: Single mom who reluctant to get a job, has three kids, and a tattoo on her tit (No offense to Farkettes who have such sexy, sexy things):

Perhaps his home life might just explain why he's a juvenile delinquent? Just a little?

I sure hope he doesn't get BHD (bullet in the head disorder). That would be a shame.

ODD? So that's what they call delinquent turds these days?

Something like this happened to my older brother when he was 8 and I was 4. He treated our mother crappy for days, just out of control screaming and yelling, backtalk, and namecalling.

My father stripped the whole room down to nothing. Took virtually EVERYTHING. Left his bed, a sheet, a pillow, and a blanket. Five pairs of jeans, t-shirts, socks, underwear. One book: The Call of The Wild. My father said, "You keep this crap up, I'm going to put you where Buck is now." Then he said, "If you're good for a month, you can have something back."

A month later, my father gave him back a blue rubber ball.

Thirty five years later, my brother said it was the longest three years of his life trying to earn that useless crap back.

Beating the kids ass is not the answer.
As demonstrated above, there are better ways to correct a childs behaviour.
Resorting to physical punishment basically says you have surrendered to stupidity and have been intellectually defeated by a child.

Stop posting like somebody who's picked up a book at least once in their life! Yer spos'ed ta beet kiyids an pets ta make 'em behave!

/Has never beaten children
//Often told we have best behaved children people have ever seen

Claiming that every single juvenile reprobate has some made-up disorder or another cheapens the problems faced by people who suffer from real disorders. This kid doesn't need a psychiatrist, he needs a belting and a replacement parent.

justbob2000: BEAT HIS LITTLE ASS! If he so much as says one word BEAT IT AGAIN!

WTF is wrong with parents nowdays?

Well it's the UK, so even think of speaking harshly to the kid will get you in jail.

If she was smart (so not going to happen) she'd hit him and have the social workers take him away. It'd be worth the jail time.

/Wonders how long it'd take for them to give him back
//Probably VERY quickly
///Hard to get rid of trash

This is news? Sounds like every English kid I encounter.

I have 3 daughters. Each one has been spanked exactly once in their lives.

/they need to know it's an option
//suck it, Spock.

Without reading TFA, I'm going to guess Doncaster.

Heh, close enough.

I'm sure prison will sort him out. Or make him a more inventive criminal. One of the two.

/By "Belting," I just mean "General discipline."

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll turn out A-OK:

A thread about Limey juvenile delinquents and it takes this long to reference this movie? For shame, Farkers, for shame.

dna_level_c: That you're aware of, anyway.

Excellent point.

/the oldest is 11

It's not for their entertainment....if that makes you feel any better

Hermit Tard: It's not for their entertainment....if that makes you feel any better

Strangely, it doesn't.

I see fark is suffering from DFF disorder.

Daily farking fail. It's as if poor journalism created purely for provoking reactionary emotions is the best way to get shallow debates from internet tough guys about who hits their kids hardest/would send forrinners home fastest.

Or that it's in your spectrum of punishments available. Should it go from 12 years of coddling the little bastard to daily beatings? No. But it should be possible to escalate to the point where that's an option. Children aren't tiny adults that can be reasoned with: they need structure, form and consequences. They need rules they can understand even if they don't understand or agree with the reasons. Talking to a child and reasoning with them treats them as an equal. They are not.

My 14-year-old cousin is borderline bipolar / combative ADHD, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies kicked in the shins by him right now.

Ever since reading kids F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby from start to end, and asking one specific question about something random in the book became the diagnostic test to determine if kids have ad(h)d.

Also I am willing to help with your treatment today if needed. No person should go with out their treatment of such a horrible disease.

I live in Ohio, and even I guessed the town right.

Mother of kid who police refers to as "one-boy wave of terror" says he just got a bit of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder"

Of course...because 'Brat' has many different labels, so they can write a prescription for it...
