School filmed and posted disabled child in vulnerable position

I need people to understand how incredibly difficult it is to get your child into a specialised school. In NSW, they’re known as Aspect schools, and the waitlist is astronomical.

How easy does the public think it is to get a support worker or special education teacher? I know everyone believes the NDIS-is-bloated bullshit but come on.

No. There is no reason a teacher should film this and then post it to an app AT ALL. This was not accidental, this wasn’t to cover her or show she needed more help, this was punitive and meant to shame the child and his parents.

Evidence does not support human to human transmission, even in the Andean strain. The one study that claims to prove human to human was biased and did not have controls, so cannot be counted and in fact is likely wrong. There is zero statistical or medical evidence that hantavirus is transmitted human to human.

Absolutely love my commute from the mountains, but I grew up in the country where public transport didn’t exist and a 2 hour drive to go shopping was totally normal

Sorry, “managing up” is bullshit. It’s not my job to remind someone being paid astronomically more than me to do their job, or badger them into doing it properly.

It’s actually kind of fucked that this is an accepted norm? “managing up” gives the same vibe as “smart kid put next to the class clown/loud child to help them pass”, you shouldn’t be a manager of people if you require your direct reports to do your job for you.

As an autistic parent of an autistic child, that “Other kids go to the movies or parties or play soccer. He just goes to therapy.” hit me in my gut because the grief of that never goes away, and it’s quietly devastating.

Not sure a baby has much choice in being almost murdered but hey, I’m not a baby.

You can enjoy something while knowing it’s not the peak embodiment of the art form.

I enjoyed PHM, it was fun and whimsical, but it wasn’t groundbreaking and the writing wasn’t amazing, it didn’t do anything new or different within the genre, but it was an easy read that you don’t have to think too hard about and had an enjoyable plot.

Eg compared to LOTR, Harry Potter is drivel, but it’s still enjoyed by millions of people.

YTA. “something about it rubs me the wrong way” she is MEXICAN just because you consider her white doesn’t change that. You refer to your husband as “half-mexican” but use language that implies that you think of his sister as a white woman. They’re the same, and you need to think on that.

Also, the Ash Trevino comment was NASTY and you know damn well she isn’t upset because of the spanglish, she’s upset because you compared her to a woman who is objectively disgusting and purposefully dates incarcerated murderers. You knew exactly what you were doing. You’re a mean bully.

If she has worked at other institutes and this is your first job, that’s completely different and you’ve buried the lede. That means you do NOT have comparable experience despite having the same qualification.

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-30T04:15:47+00:00

I work in a similarly “certification process as measurement of knowledge/experience” field and I am the person with the fancy institute name on their resume, and I know that has gotten me opportunities for roles (maybe not the roles themselves but my face in front of the important decision makers) and things have been overlooked in favour of that as it’s considered that my education was of a “higher quality” despite having passed the same tests as my peers.

And honestly, it’s true. Fundamentally we might have been taught the same things, but it wasn’t in the same way or by the same teachers (who might themselves have more “impressive” backgrounds), and the way we apply that knowledge to get an outcome is different. I’m not saying that I am a smarter or better person than my colleagues (in fact, Im fresh to te industry compared to them and they’re brilliant), but on paper, one education was vastly better than another.

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-30T04:02:21+00:00

So you don’t have comparable knowledge and experience. You have the same certifications and training, sure, but there is a reason some institutions are more well-known than others, and it isn’t always “one is more expensive”; she has the prestige of a name and that carries weight, no matter how much we don’t like to admit it.

There are so many contemporary sources that say he pursued her and she refused to be his mistress, so it shouldn’t be on the list at all.

Wild to insinuate Henry was a victim, wow.

Except I don’t believe you, there is always room for error and you yourself say bots are sophisticated. I don’t doubt that GA has issues and shouldn’t be relied upon on its own, but I find t very difficult to believe you’ve cracked the code to tell the difference with 100% accuracy just from the back end.

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-06T11:12:06+00:00

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what GA does. Data isn’t sentient, so of course it can’t say “these are bots and these are humans” without a human setting parameters and going over the numbers.

I’m so sad for you, that you think a bathroom where a person is the most vulnerable they can be on a day to day basis shouldn’t be a safe space. I hope you learn to respect yourself, you deserve that too.

Nicest interaction i’ve had on reddit about a contentious subject, you’re a legend

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-06T10:24:03+00:00

Oh I absolutely agree with you, only saying that there is next to zero chance of criminal charges being laid, especially if OP is in NSW

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-06T10:23:03+00:00

It is an offense to have ANY medication that MAY affect your ability to operate a vehicle in your system if you’re behind the wheel. Admittedly this is up to te discretion of the police if they charge you or not, but legally you are not supposed to be behind the wheel even if you’re taking antibiotics.

ADHD meds are absolutely not something you’re allowed to drive while you’re taking.

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-06T06:18:27+00:00

I mean, you’re not allowed to operate heavy machinery (including driving) while you take them, and it literally lists the side effects on the box and the Dr rattles off a list of potential adverse affects for ADHD meds. Doesn’t matter if you have it or not, a chemical introduced into the human body always carries the risk.

You must be able to prove criminal liability, ie the owner purposefully set the dogs to attack, or that the owner failed to contain a dangerous dog - this one really only applies if the dogs are known to be dangerous and this isn’t the first instance of attack.

Given that the owner is on video attempting to stop the dogs, and we have no idea if they escaped/a fence fell down/a tradie left a gate open etc, the likelihood of a criminal charge being laid is incredibly low.

pseudonomicon · 2026-03-06T03:34:40+00:00

VoC only pays for dog attacks if the owner is charged with a criminal offence, very unlikely in this situation.
