"Conduct Disorder" How about "Inept Parent Disorder" - Floated from another thread.

LizzieA posted this as a response to another thread.

I thought it was worth discussion.

UDATE:

Conduct Disorder causes children and adolescents to act out their feelings or impulses towards others in destructive ways. Young people with conduct disorder repeatedly violate the basic rights of others and the rules of society. The offenses that these children and adolescents commit often get more serious over time. Examples include lying, theft, aggression, truancy, fire setting, and vandalism. Children and adolescents with conduct disorder usually have little care or concern for others. Current research has yielded varying estimates of the number of young people with this disorder; most estimates range from 4 to 10 of every 100 children and adolescents.

WOW! Really?

"Conduct Disorder" :jawdrop:

Why is it that pseudo science wackos insist on labeling anything a kid does as a "disorder"? It seems that it is just to take the personal accountability and conscious decision out of the kids behavior so the little dears are not held accountable.

Grrrrr! In the old days these little assholes were not coddled or given a label that in all reality is nothing more than a get out of jail free card for them to not be held accountable.

There was a time when these little shits were dragged to the woodshed by their ear, bent over a saw horse and their asses blistered with a razor strap, belt or paddle.

No one made a career out of giving the evil little assholes some bullshit syndrome or "Disorder" in an effort to take the blame away from the little shit that made the evil decisions.

This "disorder" has nothing to do with anything other than inept parents who will not do their damned duty as parents (frequent trips to the woodshed for kids that don't get it) and pseudo scientists who really are unable to perform in the crucible of private sector competition so they make up shit to justify their jobs and their "professional" existence. Most of these pseudo science "experts" could have used a few trips to the woodshed themselves. IMHO.

How about "Inept Parent Disorder" and we take those idiot parents to the woodshed for some "therapy"?

Grrrrr!

I understand that some people, kids included, have legitimate emotional, behavioral, physiological or psychological issues and need help and that there are legitimate professionals who dedicate decades of education and training to be able to help. Those individuals need help and should have access to it. The legitimate professionals who are qualified to help them are truly worthy of respect.

But "Conduct Disorder"? :?

Really? :?

What is next, "I don't wanna do it" Disorder? Or "It's not my fault Mr. Nobody did it" Disorder?

Isn't it funny, Rags, how some of these terms didn't even EXIST when we were being raised by our parents???

Funnier, too, that we weren't doing HALF the crap that these kids with "Conduct Disorder" (and ADD, ADHD, ODD, etc...that they're being diagnosed with) are doing - and we were STILL being disciplined by our parents, taught respect, manners, work ethic, accountability, etc....

Yep, I couldn't agree more, either. Great post, Rags.

Oh, and to grayskies - "Children of Divorce" Disorder - LOL! SSSHHHH!! Don't give them any ideas...I'm sure that'll be another diagnosis in the next few years and it'll be a WIDELY RECOGNIZED reason (excuse) for all skids' poor behavior & performance. Sigh....

I'm the one who posted that--not because I think these kids have a disorder that excuses it. But rather to say, professionals recognize that their actions are destructive and will get worse The parents don't, obviously, they overlook and excuse and enable. Asher's SD is a prime example. That was over the top hostile to destroy the sculpture and a sign of a very disturbed little girl.

Lizzie,

Your post was great and I appreciate you mentioning "Conduct Disorder".

That fact that some "Professional" actually spouted that drivel as a "Disorder" is what amazed me.

It is pathetic enough that the parents of these "disordered" children don't realize that there is nothing wrong with most of these kids that a firm parental foot up the ass won't fix, now some moron is spouting a "disorder" that gives the parents and kids an excuse for what is nothing more than crappy parenting and ill behaved children. IMHO.

Thanks for posting the "Conduct Disorder" information to that thread.

Best regards,
