I think people are letting their personal connections cloud what seems to be a common sense line of questioning. Can't speak to how or in what manner in which the stuff was asked. Could have been a dickish way to go about it. But it is hard to disagree with there being concern. Hoping the person or Dr who sees a red flag is a good enough listener to see an accident for what it is.

If your parents brought you into the ER with burns and they were telling DR's that they routinely let you play with fire, make gas bombs and other weapons, you'd have more than CPS coming by no matter the generation. Those sorts of things are far different than coming into the ER with a broken arm because you fell while trying to climb off a deck and the parent is there telling the DR how you tried to tell him to "stop screwing around". |

My point isn't to blame you. You sound like a passionate and caring parent. My point is simply that I see people all too often seeing the world of CPS through the eyes of their own personal interest and IMO it should be viewed through the interest of being sure that the child is safe. No different really than some neighbor who finds a child wandering around in the street... if that's me, I bring that kid home to his house and in the process look around to make sure there isn't some red-flag that indicates there might be a bigger problem at hand. In your case, admitting that you allow your child to play with knives combined with a stab wound (I am assuming the kid was holding the potato and shoved the butter knife through it and into his palm)... is a real red-flag. Either one alone isn't sufficient. |

We had to fill out a short questionaire once when my daughter fell off her bike and broke her arm. The Dr. had very good manners about it though, and explained that it was protocol for this type of injury (which I completely understand). However, even knowing that, I felt a little defensive about it in the beginning. Now if the Dr. would have been an idiot/jerk like this guy, I would have been very upset.

jaz I understand what your saying. I really do. This wasn't some doctor who came in and you could tell he cared about my son. He was loud, obnoxious, and a jerk. Had he been different with my son, I might buy that he is only looking out for him. However when you talk and act like this guy did, he wasn't looking out for the best of my kid. He was being a jerk. I already had a bb gun and pocket knife at his age when I was a kid. We don't live in the city, knives and bb guns are normal stuff for kids around here. While he was givin that privilege and then did something stupid, he now lost that privilege. He knows why. Almost one month ago some friends of ours 6 yr old cut himself much worse with his pocket knife, there was no call on them. Again my point in this whole situation is that the Dr. wasn't looking out for my kid he was pissed because my wife got pissed at him.

I just don't think that the children's best interest is at heart here. I bet there is a quota or something that they have to fill and I'm sure there is money generated from it as well.

Eh, give him a break. I remember a time when I was young and naive and thought the gov't had our best interests in mind as well. I blame our school system for that, they're nothing but a propaganda machine. He'll get smacked in the face by reality sooner or later.
