CI on 6 year old.

Maybe CPS isn't aware of this adopt boy's case just as yet. This adopt boy's whole right side of face is paralyzed from cochlear implant, You don't even think that's child abuse? How many more takes can this boy have to suffer? Five more cochlear implant to make it successful or make this poor boy worst than he already is.

Have a heart Boult.

Right cheri. I don't know what world Boult lives in, but in most of the world child abuse goes on every single day and is never prosecuted. Children have been left in a busive home until they were finally killed. And unless someone reports the surgeon--like the father--he will never be prosecuted either.

The father must be that desperate for his adopted son to hear if that was the case, my question is why did he adopted a deaf child if he didn't want a deaf child to begin with :confused:

Very good question, maybe I should ask. Should I?

It is about the deaf children walking in the same shoes as deaf adults...not about walking in hearing people's shoes.

Correct, sorry I was in a hurry this morning :-x
 
I will say this - knowing what I know now, if I was born deaf today, I would sure hope my parents WOULD implant me with a CI. If I chose not to use it when I got older (which I wouldn't - knowing what I know now about how amazing CI's are,) that would be my choice, but at least I would have had the OPPORTUNITY to take advantage of the short language acquisition window a child has.

And if I had a deaf child of my own - I would definitely get them implanted.

What does this have to do with this thread? Don't you have any respect for this child who went through hell with cochlear implant? No, because all you care about is your own precious cochlear implant and don't even care how the hell this boy went through. Some lack of respect you have!! That what pissed me off the most about you people, show no courage of caress of others but you own damn self!

My apologies beetarehoh for my post, but I've had enough with those cochlear implanter self-center attitudes. :pissed:

:nods: :(
 
Be perfectly honest with some of you, I haven't seen at least one cochlear implant person that had came in this thread show any sign of sympathy for this adopted child, and I don't know what else to say to this point on, It's like don't they have a heart? I have never experience those type of people before. It's very sad. :(

Who really cares?? This is about a boy who went thru pain and suffering and yet he gets re implanted. Is that's ok with u? In my eyes, it is cruel!

Iam glad u r happy with your precious CIs..great to know but what u fail to realize there r others that aren't as fortunate as u r. I have seen too many times in my own personal experience that people including children have suffered. If u can't handle reading about it and discussing it with more empathy, I suggest u don't read stories like these. The fact is CIs do not work for everyone.

I agree with Cheri wholeheartly..
 
*error* on double posting

Right on, I agree with Shel90 and Cheri 110% and I'll like to add that I stop going to these CI threads cause for one, I got sick of people 's " I don't care attitude "

Speaking for myself, the reason why I haven't posted is because posts like these are used as currency by people who are essentially against child implantation. I have watched how the discussion in this thread has unfolded and the parent has already been labelled a "child abuser", even though none of us here know him from a bar of soap and do not have access to all the facts of the case.

I disagree with the use of sad (and rare) stories like this in such a way on principle. It's cheap.

Cheap? I thought we were just talking about one situation? Yes, it is rare that happens and so far, I haven't seen any posts generalizing this situation to all children unless I missed them? I am usually neutral about CIs and no I don't like them implanted in children, especially babies but I accept that these aren't my children and I have no say. However, in this situation..to re-implant a boy who suffered bad side effects makes it hard for me to remain nuetral. I can't imagine the pain the boy must be feeling.

Yes, I have met children with CIs who are just fine and I am happy for them. Just if a child suffers from side effects or doesn't want to go thru the surgery is when I believe in just leaving them be.

This is not about against child implantation. This is about SYMPATHY on the child. Also I want to empathize that I AM NOT AGAINST child implatation. If my child is profoundly deaf I PREFER not to have one for him/her because I have alternative way to communicate with my child and wait until she/he grows to make her own decision period.

I am not here purposely to start the arguement. I just needed to express about how I feel bad about the child. So everyone please respect each other's opinion.
 
:jaw:

Oh my.....I cannot believe some of you who have NO sympathy for this child. It makes me sick in my stomach and I hope I will never get to meet those who are so selfish to have compassion for this poor child who went through so much.

*shakes my head* :pissed:
