Sponagle Story- reply to JEN

[Guest guest]

I appreciate your reply. It makes me feel that there does indeed

need to be more blunt when it comes to treating and recognizing

tort/plagio. Someone needs to ring the DANGER bell with regards to

plagio........By the way, I may be blunt but I prefer honest........

The window is too small for treatment. There is not loads of time to

play with.

I wish your child was banded earlier. However, it is better late

then never......I truly wish and hope for nothing but growth spurts

and round noggins for every late starter............

As far as your family. It is very common. They put their noses in

for all minor things like bugs, sun and runny noses but for more

concerning items like plagio they keep their traps

shut.......Awareness and prevention is for everyone, parents,

friends, grandparents.........The more people that are aware of this

phenomenon the more people who would be more comfortable with

speaking up.

All for now

we were being overcautious and ridiculous and that it would round on

its' own, we accepted that. One because we thought he was a Doctor

and would have our best interest at heart and two because like all

parents we did not want our child to have to go through something

difficult.

afraid to hurt our feelings.
