hacking facebook again

Mr David keeps trying to hack into facebook accounts. He does it by attempting to reset the password. Every facebook account in our house sends me an email any time someone attempts to reset the password. I then ask the account holder if they forgot the password. Most of the time, it is being requested at a time when David is the only one who could possible be attempting to get on the account. So. Even those times when we watch everything he does on the machine, he can still find a way to hide his activity enough to attempt to hack into someone else’s account. Very frustrating. I can’t run my house like a prison and take away computer access for all of the kids in the house. The alternative to this would be to block facebook access. I use facebook for my business. The kids use it to

Missing in Action ~ all part of learning

The last week has just been crazy in our house. It all started with David threatening to kill someone on his brother’s facebook account, and it snowballed from there. So what have we learned here? We learned that kids can hide pills in their mouth, under the tongue, in the lower cheek area near the jaw. Kids are good at determining when they want to stop taking their pills. But not so good at making the decision to do so. We learned that doctors don’t believe parents who say “we make sure that he takes his pills 4 times a day.” We learned that some medicines are not carried by major pharmacies and can only be filled at a hospital. We learned that medicines go a long way toward stabilising behaviours of kids with severe ADHD. We learned that nurses and doctors can be very rude when you interrupt the

Life, Liberty and the use of a computer

It’s in the past. That is how David responds when we try to talk to him about the threats that he made toward that individual on facebook. “I don’t want to talk about it, because it’s in the past.” It was last Wednesday February 29. Just because it is in the past doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about it. He is not allowed to use computers. So he argued with his mom about using the iPad. So now he isn’t allowed to be in his room alone. Why? he steals and it is easier to keep an eye on him in the common areas rather than in his room. Why? He shares a room with his older brother and his older brother has a computer. So very frustrated. David managed to convince the hospital staff that he was an angel and didn’t get his medicine because mom and dad didn’t
