Gullible, hopeless parents
Channel 4 tonight had this piece about “psychic” children. I’m slightly sceptical about this whole concept to say the least (if you can’t prove it exists, it doesn’t exist).
Anyway, these various kids who had ADHD or related illness, or just had certifiable looney-tune mums, were at this spiritualist camp, or some such.
Anyway, the various gullible/insane adults went to this seminar to be told, by a woman, wholly lacking in any medical qualification, that their kids weren’t ill, they were “special” and they didn’t need treatment because they were the next stage of evolution of humankind. Amazingly, the audience more or less kept a straight face and didn’t walk out en masse.
So, these stupid maniacs seemed to conclude on the basis of a 20 minute PowerPoint presentation, that their kids no longer needed Ritalin; they instead needed to get in touch with astral energies on the fairy plane, (seriously).
The insane-o in-chief woman told her daughter that she was psychic since she was two. So of course, the girl believed her mum. And then came the demonstration.
Another medium of some type says to these two girls “Right you have ESP and telepathy, so I want you to send a psychic message to your friend, and (to the friend) you send a message back”
So they look at each other and giggle a bit. Then the medium says “Right what was the message you sent”
Girl one says “Just Hello really”
“No, says the medium, you sent something else”
“Er, just wanted to say isn’t this fun” says the compliant first girl.
Now girl 2 is allowed to listed to all this, so of course, the message she sends back, makes sense. And they are all “Oh yes, doesn’t this prove it to the sceptics”
How stupid are these people? Wanna prove your telepathy? Send random numbers (between say 1 and 100) in succession. If I was talking to someone, I’d get 100% right. How many do you think the “telepaths” would get?
People can believe what they want, but when they start fucking with their kids’ wellbeing, it concerns me.
Complete, certifiable, gullible fuckwits.

Yikes - that is deeply disturbing. Very good point - people are going to do strange, questionable things, but to risk the health and welfare of their children is very disconcerting.
Someone at work asked if I'd seen this, and she said that when they interviewed the boy (who saw dead people), that the Mum was going "You see dead people, don't you?". And the boy was all "I dunno".
I mean really...
