I challange all critics to do just one thing before they cast another stone on this family. Spend a little time in a pediatric nursing home. Yes, folks, we have them and I work in one.
At least this family cares for their daughter. We have children whose family hasn't shown up in years to visit their offspring. We even have a couple kids up for adoption. One of them is near normal in mental capabilities. If you care so much then there is more you can do. Come read to a child who may not understand what you are saying but loves that someone has time to stop and pay attention to them. The staff is far too busy to give them more than a couple minutes here and there. Please. Step up to the plate. Put all this concern to some constructive use. A pediatric nursing home in your state would love to have you.
