It’s the cruelest of conditions - and the uncontrollable tics and outbursts all too often mean a life of public ridicule. For many who have Tourette Syndrome, home is one of the few places they can find understanding and sanctuary. But there’s another little-known symptom of this condition that makes even family life hell. Violent mood swings, uncontrollable rages that turn loving homes into battlegrounds. As Alex Cullen reports, these rage attacks often leave parents fearing for their lives, desperate for help.

This story originally aired on the 7th October 2018.

    That poor kid being filmed in his undies.
  • @user-kq4im9ye1c
    the mom disciplining the first kid after he keeps saying “i didn’t mean it” really broke my heart. what don’t they understand? he can’t control it, it’s no reason to discipline him
  • @ruthchiji
    Can we talk about how Cameron is such a gentleman.
  • @mizmartini
    I thought Tourettete’s just minor tics. I didn’t know it could get this serious.
  • @TheB1akery
    Perhaps waltzing into their room sticking a phone in their face doesn't help.
  • @yeetymcfly7608
    Jesus Christ I didn’t know Tourette’s could be this violent
  • I do know this, Cameron's mom SHOULD NOT grab him, drag him, or try to holding him down.
  • @liv9194
    Why are his parents yelling at him even thought he can’t control it.
  • @lilyvaughan228
    Kid: *cant help his behaviour* Parents: *yell and scream at them anyway* Also parents: *is shocked when yelling makes it worse*
  • @moswaggy
    I have tics myself, but I didn’t know that this side existed
  • @xingyangg769
    The kids are literally asking not to be filmed but their parents are knowingly ignoring their wishes. That's literally just gonna make the ticing WORSE, plus the physical restraining. In many cases, physically restraining someone stimming or ticing can actually make it more violent and sever
  • @parallelalpha
    "theres no cure" but what about that video of that girl who had it and then went under some sort of surgery?
  • @boringneal4823
    “Don’t look at the camera” poor guy was trying his best not to think about it 😂 poor kid
  • @cozyjake
    “It isn’t bad parenting” Those people are still bad parents. They clearly didn’t do research and are telling their kids to stop ticcing. They are disgusting.
  • I’m just gonna say if your kid has Tourette’s and they’re in a moment like this don’t film it!!!
  • Dad: Knowing that they can not help it, and it can not be stop. Kid has tantrum Dad: sToP iT
  • @lol-zb8to
    kid: stop filming me parent: keeps filming them kid: gets mad parent: [shocked pikachu face]
  • I have severe Tourette’s and I’ve been through all of this stuff. But I’ve never taken a weapon and threaten someone i love. This is beyond anything I’ve ever seen for Tourette’s.
