Captive Children, Why?

I read that she had asked for help, telling doctors that he has behavior problems. What I am not sure about is how much attention she has given this child. Does she even really know his behavior? If she’s always busy and locking him in the attic how does she know what he’s like? Obviously he must like art, he has used his own poop to finger paint on the walls. Her other kids told the police that he gets locked up there often, the cops asked her about it and she said he was still locked up there. He had been up there for an hour, an hour. This is summer, luckily it wasn’t here in Arizona. Her attic was a hundred degrees and the boy had to take his clothes off to get cool. Here in Az the attic gets much hotter than that, a person could die in an attic here after only an hour.

I don’t mean to offend anyone or upset anyone but come one, locking a child in an atttic. I’m sorry but if you have that much trouble with a child, don’t take him to a family doctor, take him to a psychologist. Have someone who deals with mental issues. Maybe I just have too much time on my hands to understand my children. I’m not saying I don’t yell at them or give them a slap now and then but I could never lock them up. As soon as “I hear I’m so sorry mommy,” I can’t stay mad at them. They both understand what I’m sorry means, it doesn’t mean that they’ll never tick me off again but they do know that they did wrong and apologize for it.
