    Little T.J. was a monster. There’s no other way to say it.

    Extremely hyperactive, the toddler ran around in circles, destroying everything in his path. He choked the cat and dragged it by its tail. He bit the teacher and hit other kids. He got kicked out of day care and banned from friends’ homes.

    His own grandmother called the 2-year-old a “monster.” Friends told his family that T.J. _ short for Terence Johnson _ was destined to be “the next serial killer.”

    Something must be wrong if your grandmother thinks you are a moster and friends of your family believe you are destined to be the next serial killer huh?

    Today, as T.J. gets ready to turn 3, he is a changed boy. Lively, to be sure, but affectionate instead of mean and aggressive.

    “It’s a total turnaround _ this is a different child,” his mother said. “He’s a normal, active toddler now. He responds to punishment for the first time. He gives us hugs. He says, ‘I love you.’ He’s learning to share. Everybody notices the difference.”

    A frontal lobotomy? Electroshock therapy? Powerful drugs? No.

    T.J. had his tonsils out.

    Give me a break. The trouble here was with the family, not the tonsils.

    The kid is three years old for God’s sake. If the path our lives will take is mapped out when we are three years old, a hell of a lot of you are going to start sucking your thumbs and wetting the bed again so you better watch out!

    When will “the experts” come out and say “oops, it was none of those bullshit theories we came up with over the past 15 years, it’s a combination of factors starting with the way these children are parented”?

    Don’t bother sending hate mail on this one folks, if you do, I am posting it, in full.
