Judged: 2 1 "She said this is a private facility and we can terminate at will," Not when we have an Atty General that thinks like a Socialist.(Meaning) all belongs to the State! The parents need to get a grip,the kid is just a baby. Mayby a State Daycare would be more inline for a baby that needs Special care? There are options that may benefit the child.Dont use your kid..

OK, let me get this straight. This is an autistic child. Who has 3 therapists. At daycare. And Mom and Dad are, uh, where? Maybe one of them should consider learning and practicing what it takes to be a real parent with real challenges. Clearly they are doing none of this.

I'm sure the ...

Welfare Culture Persists wrote: The problem with trying to be "fair" is that if you go to far, it's not fair to anyone. I don't have autism in my family, and I shouldn't be forced to deal with someone's autistic kid. What would you do if they were just a regular 2 year old child? You'd remove them and excuse yourself/your family. If the bad behavior persists, you make alternative ...
