It would appear that Carol Sarlor is well known for stirring a pot of poo. She has even been taken to court for it. Sadly she won and got away with her article being an 'opinion'. Never mind the damage she did in the process. Search her on google, there is plenty of nasty dirt that has been dished by her. But then that is her job! She gets away with it and gets paid..................some things just aint fair.

For my international cousins, the story below involves a very high profile politician who had an affair. The affair resulted in a daughter with special needs. The politican bailed out. It happened many years ago but was a very high profile story..................Make your own minds up though

Sara Keays drops Observer libel claimguardian.co.uk, Sunday 5 October 2003 00.19 BST Article historySara Keays has dropped her libel claim against The Observer and has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum towards the newspaper's costs. Ms Keays sued The Observer, its editor Roger Alton, and Carol Sarler over a comment piece written by Ms Sarler in January 2002, following the television broadcast of Flora's Story, a documentary about Flora Keays, the child of Ms Keays and Lord Parkinson.
The newspaper argued that, having watched the documentary, Ms Sarler had expressed her own views about Ms Keays's motivation for participating in it and that the law provides protection for comment. In June this year, Mr Justice Eady made a ruling, in favour of the newspaper and Ms Sarler, that the piece could only be regarded as Ms Sarler's personal opinion and that no one reading it would be under the impression that she was making objectively verifiable allegations of fact against Ms Keays. He described Ms Sarler's article as 'par excellence' a comment piece that was labelled as such.

This is the first time Ms Keays has lost a libel action. She has sued a number of times in the past when false allegations have been made against her about her attitude to Lord Parkinson, and each time she has succeeded.

Isn't the Daily Mail a rag?

I read the article and found nothing offensive about it.

People will find demons where ever they choose to look for them.

Is that to me or jelibean?

She says that and she's not even a parent.

The upside is that there are websites dedicated to hating her.

I was a difficult child to raise but my mother will never admit it. She says all kids are hard and cost money. She says she learned how to be patient and I was fun to raise. She never understood why I was different but she still took her time to try and understand the way my brain works and why I do certain things. She always knew I had something she says and then I was finally diagnosed when I was 12.

My mom said I was difficult to and she said she was scared she was going to kill me. I got beat just for answering back. Sometimes her partner would throw me across the room. I don't really remember much what happen because you blank it out but I remember covering myself up and she would just keep hitting me sometimes rip out my hair.

Why don't these parents with unruly children who are cutting them or pushing them down the grow a backbone? If you are soft, your children WILL push your boundaries, it's only human nature. It may be a meltdown and not truly deliberate but if a parent strikes back the child will learn through operant conditioning.

STRIKE BACK! Pardon Sorry but I am shocked.

Can we please remember here, CHILDREN learn from their parents. Also a high proportion of these children on the spectrum will be echolalic.....................they COPY their parents too. So who should we be looking at here, the parents or the children?

And 'if you are soft'? Your definition of soft please? Do you mean parents that give in quickly or those that don't use physical force to 'control' their children?
Maybe you mean we should soften up and be kinder? I AM IN FAVOUR OF THAT!!

My children don't need shouting at, yelling at, pointed at or threatened in any way..................there are far kinder more understanding ways you can use of helping a child learn social behaviour.

UNRULY CHILDREN? Are you making that statement broadly? Does it include neurotypicals?

And BOUNDARIES, aaaghhhh I hate that word. Boundaries are for BENDING, make them flexible and maybe they would be more effective? Make the boundaries RIGID and expect them to be broken.

Be kind to children, treat them with respect and they will reciprocate, shout at a child and they will shout back...............remember many COPY/MIMIC. If you don't want it back, don't dish it out in the first place.

Thank you.......................chill pill swallowed.
