There is a difference between debelopmentally delayed and retarted. What you are thinking of is probably downs syndrome or Autism. Developmentally delayed is a child who would have been perfectly healthy had his no good mother not used drugs in utero, or didnt neglect him at a young age. So instead of it beign something genetic, it's something much more situtational.

As the mother of a developmentally delayed child, I'd like to correct you. Actually, I'd like to come to your house and do some tap dancing on your genitalia before strangling you slowly, and then do some REAL torture on your superiors who taught you this, but I'll settle for correcting you.

Here is Wikipedia on developmental disability/mental retardation. Since you work in that biz, with no training, I suggest you read it. It's not perfect, but it hits the high points. I especially suggest that you read the section on causes. No, mothers are NOT responsible for developmental disabilities, you turd. It is NOT situational. In a small number of cases, it might be.

However, most of us mothers get accused of causing it. Or we have to deal with a**es like you who assume that we caused it. It's one thing in a low-level dude like you, but there are Leading Doctors/Experts in the field who believe that too.

Look. I have a child. (see this thread about strong parental emotions) He can't help it that he was born different. He's not in any way violent - most dev. disabled people aren't - but he can't live in the real world without help. I take care of him now, but I won't be around forever. And I'm limited in my work time because I need to spend a lot of time dealing with him.

You think this is easy?

People like you are why I'd rather kill my own son than let him live in a group home.

You want my advice? Quit your job. You're probably a nice person. Go away. Find a different job. Get married, have kids. And PRAY that none of your kids ever needs to deal with the system that you're currently working in.

Hope this helps.

OMG! OWNED by badmouse! Good job! I never thought you had it in you to do something like this :thumbsup:
