De-escalation rooms: The alternative to de-escalation rooms

Many parents sign their children up for it, namely when they are autistic and have behavioral problems. We are talking about de-escalation areas. Such areas were prohibited under the Keeping All Students Safe Act. However, they are still legal in inpatient psychiatric settings designed for children.

What does the Bible say about de-escalation rooms? The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés), and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Once this leads to offense perceived by a child, it becomes child abuse. See Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting. including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. This commandment lifts up both the Eighth and the Tenth Commandment to parents and parents in loco parentis, as was the intent of the Apostle Paul.

When children were aggressive in the Bible, they usually hit their mother, but sometimes fathers. When a child did strike out at an adult, the adult invoked righteous wailing. That means that the parent allowed themselves to be brought to tears. It is a myth that children would take advantage of tears. Usually, tears stop the aggression in its tracks, and the child then wants to reassure the pain that they caused in their parents, basically crying alongside their parents. In most cases, that's the last time the child lashes out. 

No child wants to cause pain in an adult. They usually strike out at adults when they feel ignored or not listened to. But, at the same time, children need to learn better self-advocacy skills than striking out at adults. The idea is to show the child just how hurtful being hit is. These strategies can also be used at home.

Righteous wailing is what my grandmother did when I got rageful and aggressive. My grandmother reacted the right way - by crying. I wanted to reassure her crying, because the goal of my behavior was not sadistic, but instead simply perceiving non-listening. I felt like I was up against a wall, but her crying stopped me from being even more aggressive. I immediately regretted MY reaction, and then cried myself. 

The depraved and entitled parents who give permission for hospitals to provoke their children to anger with behaviorist tactics will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
