Absolutely shocking from the first 10 seconds:

5 yr old with eight teeth removed from excessive sugar

Another 5 yr old child the weight of a 17 yr old, too heavy to walk far without wheelchair

13 year old that drinks 1/2 bottle vodka every week

How can these parents be so bad? Do they not have a clue or not care?

    i watched this last night and was just astounded....

    its laziness. they cant be bothered to care for/ entertain/ discipline properly so choose to shove 10 chuba-cubs (or whatever theyre called) or (baby) bottle of coke in their toddlers mouths so they can get on with gluing on their acrylic nails, spraying their fake tan, straightening their hair,*, etc, etc -was my sum up of the programme anyhow :cool:

    * :j ooh, forgot :j....., watch jeremy kyle, smoke 20 mayfair, shag a smackhead, drink special brew, spend provvy vouchers :D

    I still can't see the attraction of Jeremy Kyle.....what is it about that programme?
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
