I can perfectly picture Hank and Peggy in the place of Bob and Barb when they're defending Chris's bullshit at the game place over the phone
>I AINT YELLIN, WHATS YER DAMN NAME, SON!? TELL ME YER NAME!

Peggy looks and thinks like Barbara

>>149180106
Just like the Chris Chan nudes, right?

Not gonna lie, a lot of mothers look and think like Barb.
Part of the reason Chris was so fucked is because you never let a bitch with unresolved daddy issues into a position where she's a mother figure or has any kind power over someone with a significant disadvantage like a neurological condition.
She can and will develop a complex around "this child needs me!"
This child, should they reproduce, will create a daughter who has significant daddy issues. And thus, the cycle will continue

>>149180493
That’s just true of any parent with an untreated personality disorder

I can see Peggy as Barb, but not Bob as Hank, he’s closer to Cotton.

>>149180509
Yeah but throwing a child and particularly disabled child in the mix is basically a litmus test.
Parenting a disabled child is like, you pay close attention and mark what they can and can't do, you accommodate them as need be while also fostering as much independence as you can because this is still ultimately gonna be an adult one day.

A lot of these moms basically run all-in on the notion that the kid is helpless to feed their own egos and statuses as "their advocate", "the one who understands them" and will basically drive a steamroller over the kids self-esteem if they have to. If you've ever been in a position where you've worked with a mildly autistic kid, the moms will be like "Okay but his autism? Did I mention his autism? You know autism is linked to high intelligence but I'm worried his autism will get in the way of this."
And it can be for the most mundane shit like storytime at the library.
Barb is the worst case scenario. A parent who heard she plopped out a tard and was excited entirely by the prospect of the kid having absolutely no independence even as they grew up which is why she ended up so baffled and enraged when Chris did stuff like try to travel out-of-state without her

>>149180775
Yes, aging conservative parents with untreated personality disorders typically suck at parenting, especially when a child is developmentally disabled.

>>149178700 (OP)
Hank would not stutter that much

>>149178700 (OP)
>not calling it Heimlich County
OP, you HAD one job

>>149180818
To an extent and here's what interests me.
Barb differs from a lot of the usual cases. Typically what happens is that the kid is diagnoses, the mom receives some pamphlet, talks to some workers, and the one consistent thing she is told throughout it all is that she is now her child's advocate, their lone protector and voice in a world that doesn't understand them and unfairly has it out for them.
Bob and Barb famously sidestepped a lot of the process beyond the initial diagnosis because they were under the impression Chris would be carted off to some kind of asylum.
Also I'd say it's aging parents in general. We always take it for granted but most of the research we have into autism, Down's Syndrome, what have you, came from the last 2 decades.
You look at some of the boomer and Xer parents and they were all pretty similar in this whole "I AM THE ADVOCATE" mentality.

>>149180949
I’ve actually worked with disabled kids for two years. I gotta say, making an effort to interact with them on their level while pushing them to make steps towards independence and competence does wonders. The key is to presume competence and push them in ways that might be uncomfortable, but not distressing.

Sometimes dealing with parents is the hardest part. They either helicopter over the kid’s every move and let them avoid anything uncomfortable, or just ask us to cure the kid’s autism and make them act “more normal”. Chris Chan is just really sad to me, but it’s also a fascinating case study.

One thing’s for sure; that boy ain’t right.

>>149181074
I mean, you see what happens when these kids actually grow up and end up hating their parents.
Another running trend is that a lot of these parents want their kid to be "included" but typically become the biggest barrier to genuine conclusion. There are 'accommodations' in the US IEP system right now which basically amount to "anxiety, let them have their phone on the entire time" or "Just go to the tardwranglers when the kid acts out even if everyone else who acted out got a standard detention."
That is the one that sorta terrifies me. First because these kids are now basically doomed to never be functional adults. Second because these are like, the mainstreamed ones, and if there's one significant fear the mainstreamed ones have it's the idea that they're being viewed as "special".
Chris-Chan is weird because its a case of wondering what the fuck Bob and Barb were doing where they gave him all the helicopter-y stuff and none of the actual help.
Also, when Chris became a more mainstream internet story, you really got a perception of how the internet views the disabled.
"If the trolls hadn't come in and he had just gotten some therapy it would have been fine."
This is actually unnerving. Kids and teens with neurological disorders are largely like any other kids and teens. If you're not just seeing misbehavior, but disturbed behavior, it's time to look at more than just their condition and into the circumstance of the home they're growing up in. Which everyone whose looked into Christory knows is a huge part of the lore.

BWAAAHAAAAHHHWW

>>149182020
The US IEP system is deeply fucked. I’ve been in schools where they basically instructed me to follow some problem kid around until he acted out, which was frequent. Then they pulled me off the case because I couldn’t prevent his behaviors. Of course, the kid knew that I only existed to follow him and scrutinize his every action. No shit it made the problem worse.

Teachers did jack shit and just wanted the kid to stop existing. They expected me to make him not a problem. I feel really bad for that kid. He wasn’t trying to be bad, he just couldn’t control himself.

>>149182195
Oh I'm aware of that program and I've seen how a lot of people who take that job talk. It's astounding. Like, "sit behind them, when they act out poke them on the shoulder", the people who do that job the best are typically the ones who ignore it and choose to sit around seven seats away or just look for ways to monitor the kid while blending in, but when you look at what that job is actually supposed to entail. It just exposes that the kind of self-righteous people we're talking about are the ones in charge of the system.
It's like, the people running this shit have somehow put it in their heads that unless you walk up to the kid and scream "retard" in their face, the kid won't feel stigmatized. The word "patronizing" does not seem to be in the vocabulary of some of these people.

>>149182309
The kids understand a lot more than adults think. I’ve had teachers list everything they didn’t like about a child while the child was well within earshot of us. He was looking right at us, and the teacher just kept going. This was one school, mind you, but it really sucks because no one can talk back to these people without getting pulled from the case.

Some schools really do care about the children. Some don’t give a solitary fuck. Even in good schools, there are adults that seemingly hate the kids they work with. There was one kid who wanted to high-five another, but missed and got scolded for not understanding that the other kid wasn’t prepared. This was something that could have been easily solved with a “it’s sweet of you to want to give a high five, but make sure you make eye-contact with the other kid first”. Instead, the kid was treated like an asshole who misbehaved deliberately.

I have so many stories. It really sucks.

>>149182699
To tie this all back to KotH. It's interesting because Bobby had that little running joke satirizing just how many kids were diagnosed with ADHD back then and likely didn't actually have it because they were applying a teen-standard diagnosis to kids.
Which like, I'm noticing you're not really allowed to talk about that one

Childhood trauma thread, let’s go!

Would it be worth it, /co/?

>>149182853
It's not even childhood trauma. This is like, the current state of affairs as we speak and it's interesting to relate Chris-Chan to this whole system because there's this notion that, as said before, "Chris-Chan would have been fine if he got professional help."
The system we have around speds basically comes down to a shit ton of mild guesswork based on workers talking to the kid for all of an hour and whatever the parents say.
If I had to guess, if Chris-Chan did get more professional help the likely thing that would happen is he'd never meet Megan because there'd be a more concentrated effort to keep him in the house.
There are a shit ton of Chris-Chan's in the world and the sad part is a lot of them could have grown up into functional members of society but the system is so broken that they were basically given up on in terms of that particular goal.

Damn this thread went places

>>149183085
KotH and Chris Chan are perfectly suited to commenting on how fucked the United States is

>>149183199
I mean, that football player episode is a pretty good satire. That actually happens over here. If a kid is good for the highschool football team we will push them to the bare minimum to stay on the highschool football team.

>>149182699
>I have so many stories. It really sucks.
Do tell. My mom's a special-ed preschool teacher at a particularly ghetto public school system, and she has all sorts of horror stories about her management doing blatantly illegal things.

One that comes to mind was when they wanted to combine disabled, non-verbal preschool children with fully functional Pre-K kids a grade above them, all in one classroom. 30 kids in a classroom, to "bolster diversity" (i.e. save money). She was told to go around and manipulate the parents, some of whom didn't speak English, into signing a form agreeing to it by saying that it was what was "best" for their child. Very illegal, that one ended up being reported to a whistleblower hotline and they stopped a few days later.

>>149178849
Doesn't sound right. Needs more training.

>>149183258
Strickland Propene does not have a vending machine. It smells and I thank god every day I get home that I didn't get exploded.

>>149183506
Yeah, that’s worse than anything I’ve got. I have heard stories of non-disabled six-year olds that were still in diapers because the parents didn’t toilet train them. For some reason the school wanted teachers to deal with it.

Like, the kid resisted toilet training and the parents just gave up and continued having unprotected sex despite the six other kids they already couldn’t raise. Sometimes, the parents are just retarded. I feel bad for teachers too. Some teachers are bastards that chose the wrong career and make it everyone else’s problem. Many genuinely want to help children but are continually fucked over by the system

>>149183628
>Many genuinely want to help children but are continually fucked over by the system
And I've noticed that a lot of schools prey on that optimism in order to get the new teachers to do stuff that they shouldn't do, don't have the time to do, or aren't even qualified to do just like the animation industry, bringing it back to /co/

>>149183727
At least for animation, it’s only adults getting fucked over
