And from what I've heard about this little girl, it's beginning to sound like she ought to be put down like a dog that can't stop biting. Or at least kicked out of the school completely...perhaps a reform school will straighten her out.
In other Florida news, a 23 year old female daycare worker picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed a mother to death, after the mother complained that the worker had hit and pinched her 5 year old son. We don't really know what the counselor said or did to this 5 year old girl before the biting started, and given the anti-youth bias of the mainstream press, we are unlikely to find out. Even if some horrendous tale of harrassment by school staff emerges, it will simply be suggested that they were "disciplining" her for her "behavior problem." Now she may have a legitimate problem, and may have started biting and scratching in response to the counselor saying - "Good morning. You look lovely today." Then again.... It is rarely useful to take things like this at face value, especially given the spin control talents of school administrators and the teachers union. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
