@drkenon2 @PatrickByrne Travelled to Israel to escape Christians being killed in Nigeria? Shameful propaganda. How many states in Nigeria have not witnessed religious violence in decades?

Yesterday my daughter and I saw something in a store that I have not been able to stop thinking about… A little boy, maybe 7 years old, was hiding under a table with a pacifier in his mouth- shaking. Completely overstimulated. Completely terrified. And then I heard his grandmother whisper, “get your a$$ out here or you’re gonna get it when we get home.” She tried to lower her voice, but I heard every word. When she realized I was looking at her, she stepped back fast. And the second the threat moved away, the boy slowly came out from under the table. That told me everything about what was really going on. We saw him again in another aisle, and my daughter, being her sweet self, said, “Hi!” He didn’t speak, didn’t remove the pacifier, just looked at us. Anyone familiar with autism or sensory regulation issues would recognize it instantly. I’ve seen the same behaviors in my nephew at that age. Then here comes Mom and Grandma again. Whispering threats, sounding irritated, trying to make him “behave.” But the moment they noticed my daughter and I standing there, the Mom suddenly switched into a fake sweet voice- “Hey baby, time to go.” But he didn’t buy it. Kids with trauma learn very fast that tone doesn’t equal safety. They respond to patterns, not pretend kindness. And then something happened that absolutely broke me 💙 When my daughter smiled at him again… he gave her the tiniest smile back. Just a little one- but it was real. He trusted her more than his own family in that moment. And here’s the truth I keep replaying... Why didn’t I say anything? Because I wasn’t focused on the adults. I was focused on him. When a child is in visible distress -especially a child with autism or sensory issues- your instincts shift. You’re not thinking about lecturing strangers. You’re thinking about keeping the child emotionally safe in the moment. I watched every tiny detail: the shaking the avoiding eye contact the way he moved away from them the way he flinched when they got close the immediate relief when they stepped back His little sister wasn’t acting this way, because she’s not the target. He was. And the saddest part? He can’t help it. You can’t “discipline” autism out of a child. You can’t threaten a neurodivergent child into becoming neurotypical. Yet some adults still treat these kids like they’re doing something wrong- when in reality, their nervous systems are overloaded and they need support, not punishment. I keep thinking about him today. Wondering what happened when they got home. Wishing I could’ve done more. Wishing he had a safer, softer world. My daughter even said, “Mama, I wish he could come home with us so we can cheer him up.” And honestly… I felt the same. So I genuinely want to ask: If you witnessed this, what would YOU have done? Has anything like this ever happened in front of you? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Because children like him deserve better ,and too many people walk right past these moments without realizing the damage being done. 🙏
