15 Warning Signs of ADHD
According to the criteria that the American Academy of Pediatrics uses for the diagnosis of this mental disorder, children must exhibit ADHD behaviors before the age of seven and consistently for at least six months. Here are 15 signs that your child may have ADHD:
Fidgets or squirms almost all the time. Children with ADHD are constantly moving their hands, arms, feet, and legs. They squirm a lot.
Can’t sit in the same place for any length of time. A common symptom of children with ADHD is that they have trouble sitting still, Davenport says. They may get up at times when they know they are expected to stay seated.
Doesn’t learn from experience. “These are the kids that you find yourself saying, ‘If I told you once, I told you a thousand times,’” Davenport says.
Runs and climbs excessively. In teenagers, this symptom is often described as restlessness.
Can’t wait her turn. The child cuts in line and butts into games other children may be playing.
Interrupts others. Children with ADHD have trouble taking turns speaking and often blurt out answers. When they interrupt, they don’t realize they’re doing it, Davenport says.
Has trouble following directions, no matter how simple.
Seems not to listen when spoken to directly. You may ask your child over and over again to clean up his toys or to brush his teeth, and he can’t focus enough to respond and do what you say, Davenport says.
Loses possessions. The child often loses things needed for school or at home, such as toys, pencils, books, or homework.
Is disorganized. The child can’t organize tasks or activities so that he can complete them.
Is unfocused. She is reluctant to do things that require thinking, such as homework or schoolwork.
Can’t plan ahead. For example, your child may forget to bring home the books he needs for homework.
Is forgetful. She may frequently forget to bring her lunch to school.
Is unable to focus attention on activities or details. Children with ADHD are likely to lose interest in what they’re doing after about 20 minutes, sometimes even sooner, Davenport says. They constantly go from one activity to another.
Goes off in his own world. You might suspect your child has ADHD if, when he is climbing on the sofa or jumping on the bed, he goes off into a world of his own and doesn’t respond when you tell him to stop. Your child may appear to be daydreaming frequently

The Times Editorial: The court appearance today of the Pretoria FOSTER family arrested last week on allegations of child pornography has raised more questions than answers."
The public has expressed its shock and disgust at the family members allegedly involved in the sex scandal but questions are now being asked about the role of social workers.
Two of the rescued children, aged six and eight, had been placed in the foster care of the arrested adults.
When foster parents are chosen, it is expected that they will have passed a test of suitability.
The question being asked is was the background of the family thoroughly investigated?

Jurist Shouldn't Head Child Welfare Agency - Courant.com: "Gov. M. Jodi Rell took heat from voters when she appointed Susan Hamilton, a lawyer, to lead the state Department of Children and Families. At that time it was probably thought that her legal experience might be helpful in solving DCF's ongoing problems. That failed to happen, and thankfully, we stayed under federal oversight."

The award-winning journalist who exposed terrible abuse in Islington children's homes now reveals horrifying links to sinister discoveries at Jersey's Haut de la Garenne.
I met the frightened policeman at an isolated country restaurant, many miles from his home and station. Detective Constable Peter Cook had finally despaired, and decided to blow the whistle to a reporter.
He was risking his career, so made me scribble my notes into a tiny pad beneath the tablecloth.
He had uncovered a vicious child sex ring, with victims in both Britain and the Channel Islands, and he wanted me to get his information to police abuse specialists in London.
