5. on the human side of the whole thing, what could possibly put a 7 y/o
in a residential center wherein she has to be restrained sooomany times...(and what of her parents? was she one of the throw away kids that one so often encounters in places like residential centers?
was so beautiful a child (from looking at her picture) someone who was starved for love?) and what of the caretakers at the residential center? they often are not the brightest kinds of souls, nor are they the kindest of souls. many times they are souls with problems and troubles of their own, and unfinished business of their own, and many times they are not given the kind of training that can deescalate a problem so they engage in a power struggle with kids (or adults if it is in an adult wing that they are working in.) what could possibly have gone so wrong in the life journey of that little girl involves not just the staff who held her till she choked...it also involves all of the people involved in her whole lifetime journey, for they may have been just as deprived of love and tenderness as this little girl seems to have been.
