This made the news here in Canada. I know its not the only person that probably feels that way but i just cant believe how heartless some people can be. :banghead:
I hope she will get what she deserves. Im sure its already hard enough for the mother to have to take care and deal with the needs of her child.

anonymity is becoming more and more disgusting every day. judging from everything you read on the internet lately, youd think anonymity and respect were mutually exclusive

So this isn't some fake? Damn. I've got mild autism myself, and it pretty much sucks. So I can imagine how hard it must be for the parents if you've got a child with the full blown version. The truth is, it's perfectly acceptable to put your f*cking dog into human clothes and carry it around like it's your baby, but a disabled child that doesn't give other people a warm fuzzy feeling because it's not all "cute" and sh*t, well forget about it.
And even though I should feel kinda offended by this letter maybe, I can even understand why the woman feels that way. For most of human history, we were living in small tribes, even a few hundred years ago people knew basically their home village and a few miles around it. That's all there was. So it makes sense if people felt hostile towards others that won't contribute to survival and reproduction. So in some sense, using "modern" standards, the letter is just sad. But on the other hand, it's not something unusual. It's human history in a nutshell.
I have a feeling some immature kids wrote this. I have a hard time thinking that a mature grown up was actually insensitive enough and took this much of her time to actually do this.
What does the lady expect the mother to do? Kill him when he was born? That is some disgusting letter she wrote in the computer.
Wow. Just wow.

Never doubt the hideous underbelly of society man. Adults are foul. Age doesn't equal ANY type of compassion or maturity.

There is plenty of worse things going on in this world. Mothers killing their babies or abandoning them in trash cans, killing people over shoes or out of boredom, etc.
Being grown doesnt mean you are mature enough or accepting of differences

Look, I'm not being insensitive, but these are things we think about in our head without saying it outloud. Imagine frankenstein coming outside yelling in a Yette voice and there's kids outside trying to play but their afraid? I'm not saying put this mentally handicapped kid to sleep, I'm just saying the parent of that kid needs to isolate him/her. Let it play in the backyard and watch TV or go to the park.

Why because it makes you unconfortable to be around people with handicaps? Because they "scare" you? Send them to the park so they're somebody else's problem?
This is a you problem Dionysus, strictly a you problem.
