  1. I think that was very unnecessary to say. There are so many other solutions then putting the puppy down. :angry:

    I say, take the puppy to some sort of obedience training. And if being aggressive is still a problem, maybe sell the puppy or give it away?

     

    I would have a hard time keeping a dog that bit my child. That said, if you do sell it or give it away, make sure the person getting the dog puts -in writing- that they are aware of the history. If not, there have been cases where the previous owners get sued if the dog hurts someone. Just be careful. If you do keep it, I would definitely invest in training/obedience classes before it gets much older. Good luck.

     

  2. So I had this same problem with my son last year. Over the course of the year things happened that in my mind were unacceptable. I finally got to the point where I told the child not to call my house, and never to come over again. I told him that my son could be friends with him while at school, but that was the stopping point. He of course was unhappy with this, but after calling a couple of more times and me not letting him come to my son's birthday party, he chilled out. I was honest with the child, and would have been with his parents too, had I had the opportunity. During the transition I made a couple of surprise visits to the school, to let him know I was serious. Although he had threatened my son repeatedly, my presence seemed to convey how serious I was. I have extensively spoken with my son about my decision and tried to explain to him that he couldn't change or safe someone else. Good luck!!!

  3. so this is the best way that I have found to handle them. I answer the phone and either put it on speaker or carry it around with me. Let them talk and talk and talk. Just answer yes, and hm hm occasionally. Then at the end of their pitch, politely say no thank you. I never had any intention of doing business with you or your company, but if you would like to call me back and waste your time I would be more than happy to listen and chat with you again!!! WOW it has worked so far on everyone other than a couple of credit cards

     

    Happy Day!

  4. Hey Everyone! Happy Labor Day! Hope everyone is resting and enjoying family. I am inquiring to see if anyone can recommend someone for duct cleaning work. I have a couple from people I work with, but of course would rather give fellow Paulding residents my business. Thanks.....

  5. Hello. Trying to find the original post. I too live in Camden Woods, on Camden Trail. My children were affected by this chaos. as a neighbor decided to tell them, ages 9 & 10 about the attempt that day as they got off of the bus. I have been home all summer and have not seen anything unusual. Could you please let me know where the post is. interested in reading viewers comments. to see what you were clarifying. Thanks.Also, have these sightings been reported to the police. Wanting to know who to contact if I see anything out of the ordinary.

  6. Hmm. I find this post very interesting. I am wondering why a post that was written to inform readers of the situation at the mall, would turn into a political debate about the right to free speech and/or the right to assemble. The original post was sent as a plea for fellow Paulding residents to stand up for the right for our children and to open our eyes to the idea that a convention like this would even be taking place. (correct me if I'm wrong).

     

    But since it has been brought up. Would it be ok with you if a group of people gathered to talk about killing your wife/mother, or about kidnapping and torturing your child? I think not. The reality is that these individuals are not gathering to pursue political liberation, they know this will never happen. They are gathering to feed their addictions, distibute pedophilia, and to try t influence others of their beliefs. Whether we like it or not, our freedoms come with responsibility. If we can't be responsible with these freedoms, then ultimately they will all be taken away.

  7. ok, just had to add to above. I was so concerned that I may have posted incorrect information on this site that I decided to call the CDC myself. Well and behold, I was told that the CDC doesn't govern the guidelines for this type of facility in my area. The Paulding County EPA was indeed the agency in charge and that if I felt like they didn't handle my complaint correctly that I should contact the State Health Agency directly. I find it interesting that the posts on this topic that are in support of the pool have obviously based their opinions on incorrect information. Sorry for adding this I know to some it appears juvenile but needed to know that I handled the situation in the right manner.

  8. A working professional with a management degree and working at CHOA does not mean that you read the RULES of the pool. If a situation has been fixed.....why announce it to anyone as there was not a risk of you getting in the pool (per CDC). As in my last reply - People don't get defensive and rude unless attacked.

     

    Wow! I guess I need to apologize to you personally, as it is evident that this situation must be personal for you too. My sister's intention when writing the initial post was just to inform Paulding.com members of the issue, so that they can take a proactive approach when taking their families to this and other similar public places. Also, I didn't put in my post my credentials to slam the CDC, or Sara Babb management. I was responding to your assumption that I didn't act as an 'adult' and that if I had than the situation would have been immediately rectified. I did, and it wasn't. However, just so you know, the risk was not taken care of with the administration of pool chemicals, while the infected child continued to swim in the water. Furthermore, I did contact the EPA, the County Health Department does not take care of these issues. I was told by them that the pool needed to be checked by one of their representatives before it should be considered safe. I hope that in the future that you not make assumptions about the people writing on this or any other post. Unless I am mistaken, and you were one of the teens I spoke to on this day, you really don't know the situation or conversations that took place. If you would like to continue this conversation pls pm one of us, we would be happy to discuss it further with you, but degrading each other and posting ugly comments on line will not rectify or satisfy anybody. Again, thanks to everyone for their opinions concerning this. I hope you have a wonderful rest of summer.

  9. Hey!

    Just wanted to shed some positive light on your situation. First I went through this with my son on and off from the time he was 4 until he was 6. What happened is that he was indeed impacted. He did go to the bathroom everyday as well, so I thought it couldn't have been that. But if she isn't going enough, it begins to solidify and collect. When I took my son into the ER they did an xray and found that he was impacted up to his lungs. If it is something more serious, you would be noticing patterns with the types of food she is eating. Also, check the smell. This is a very good indicator of a virus or bacteria. A simple remedy might be a fleet enema. Good Luck, I know there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to help your baby feel better!!

  10. Hey Everyone!

    Just wanted to add a little food for thought. I am a big giver, especially to kids who I think are involved in productive extracurricular activities. However, 3 nights in the last week, kids stood on the corner of bakers bridge and sweetwater church road. On Thursday evening it took me 23 minutes to get through that stop sign. As a result of this I had to pay more to my babysitter, for the care of my toddler. Friday night was a repeat. By Monday evening I was quite upset. For all of you who are encouraging this, please take into consideration the effect that you are having on other people's lives. I mentioned my dilema to one of the girls soliciting and her response was " it is a stop sign, you have to stop anyway!" While that may be true, I have travelled this route for the last five years and unless there is an accident it doesn't take this long. You may have more success collecting if you chose a time or opportunity that didn't seem to inconvenience the people you are trying to collect from. I know for a fact that this is extremely dangerous, because so many people were mad that on Friday and Monday they were squealing tires. Your children could get really hurt. There are many ideas for positive fundraisers on the web!!!!

  11. Greetings Everyone! I just had to post after reading this last comment. I happen to be the sister that was there with her on the day that the occurrance, we are referring to transpired. First off, so there is not any confusion on the matter, I am a working, professional adult, with a managment degree. ( Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is my current employer) I did ask to speak with someone who could rectify the situation on that day. Instead of the manager coming out, I had another younger girl who stepped in and very rudely explained to my that according to the posted restrictions on the bulletin board, that they had done what they needed to do. The fact that we were not told of the incident prior to paying or that we were not being refunded our money was never addressed. While I felt that I needed to bring my concerns to the attention of someone other than the teens who work there, I also had to take into consideration that I had 4 young sets of eyes watching my every move. It was apparent to anyone who was there, that they weren't going to refund my money and to be honest I would've settled for an apology and a little courtesy. I too have lived in Paulding county for 10 years, and have been coming to this pool for the last 5. As an employee of a pediatric hospital I realize that I am very picky when it comes to places that I take my kids too. However, for me this was not only a physical, safety issue. I feel very strongly that I want my kids to be around older children who set good examples of behavior. Unfortunately, I know now that this is not that place. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and opinions on this site and hope you all have a safe and HEALTHY summer.

  12. Hey Everyone,

    So my mom and kids came home from the Douglasville festival today around 300 pm and were surprised to find what she thought was 2 wild baby boars in my back wooded area. At first I believed that she must have been mistaken and that they were probably just new puppies to the neighborhood. Then I get to work tonight and find out that wild boars do exist in Georgia and at times are even prevalent. I live in South Paulding off of Dallas-Nebo Rd. Has anyone else ran into this lately? Freaking out because apparently they are very dangerous and disease infested. Any ideas what to do if I see them again?????

  13. I have spent the last 20-30 minutes reading all of the info on this post and am horrified. Regardless of what the parent's intentions were...this child was in danger. I am a firm believer in the right to punish our own children but not at the expense of the child's emotional or physical well-being. I can't comprehend what a child could do that is sooo bad at his age to warrant this treatment.. and if he did do something that detrimental to another human being...then seriously let's look at the parents. Because children learn what they live. I am saddened that so many people are fascinated with this behavior. Instead of sticking up for this parent..we should be holding her/him accountable for her/his actions.

  14. Wow! what a terrible situation. As a mother, grandmother, or primary caregiver you actually have nightmares about these type of situations. I actually received a copy of this 2 days ago, but needed to take some time to think about how to appropriately respond. First, please trust your instinct and that little voice telling you that something wasn't right. Im not sure that there is much that you can legally but please exhaust all avenues. I am a mother of 3, have had my own daycare for 6 years, worked for a safe house for abused kids (funded by Emory) and now work at a local phenomenal children's hospital. Those injuries did not come from him falling out of a booster seat. Whatever you do please take the time to warn anyone else that you know of who is taking their children to this home. Please pm me if you need any recommendations of loving, at home childcare facilities. I hope evryone reading this post takes a minute to evaluate where your children are! After all if we aren't going to protect them, who will?

     

    Have a blessed weekend!
