[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 543625, member: 135"] In my state, a couple of years ago, the law had been changed without thinking of the consequences and we had parents dropping off minor childrent like this. The law was changed again so that no longer happens but these stories point out the fact that, in this society, if you face problems like this, in many cases there are no answers. Our programs and safeguards for people in these situations are failures. I don't know the particulars in this one case but I'm not about to condemn this woman for what she did. I sincerely doubt if this happened "out of the blue." People fight for years to get help for their kids, bankrupt themselves, see their other children lose their opportunities, ruin their mental and physical health, beat their heads against the wall until they are figuratively bloody, and still don't get the help they need. We live in one of the greatest countries in the world but if you have a special needs child, you are basically scre~ed. [/QUOTE]
