[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 138759, member: 3626"] I'd reply with something like, "I'm glad you're not judgmental but many of these children truly have no real choice in their behavior. If they could, they would happily control their actions and be as happy and cheerful as most children. They need your compassion and understanding even more than the child missing a limb or having a physical defect since their illness is not visible. I'm sure that as compassionate as you are and as devout as you are you'd want to do the Christian thing and help the parents of these children as much as possible by showing your compassion. "I do understand the need to protect your children from harm -- that is something all good parents should do. However, that doesn't mean that children who have seizures should be excluded. Talk the parents, find out what the behavior of the child is, what can be done to protect yours and, as much as possible, include these children into your heart and your home. They need the love as much, if not more, than the child whose defect is visible to the world to see. Remember, NO child wants to be a "bad child." This behavior is not by choice." I doubt it would really help but at least she might have a little more compassion for our kids. I truly loathe those sanctimonious, self-righteous people who think they have the answers but truly have no understanding of what our kids are going through. I'm sorry your kindness and compassion was repaid with such stupidity and cruelty. [/QUOTE]
