misfish Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) When I heard about this,I WAS PISSED. Total ignorance. http://www.ctvnews.ca/video?playlistId=1.1418497 Family of autistic boy told to 'move or euthanize him' OMG Edited August 20, 2013 by Misfish
Big Cliff Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 I would love to meet the person that wrote that letter, alone, in a dark alley!
tb4me Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 So sad.. We too have a special needs Daughter.Her health is no where near as bad as this young man , but we can relate none the less.This both sickens me and saddens me to no end..The poor family..
misfish Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Posted August 20, 2013 First thing I thought of was Tyler. And why someone would do that. You have to have no HEART,to say something like that or understand. Im sure the whole Autism families are out raged by this. SAD.
davey buoy Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 What has happened to our world?Very sad indeed.
fishing n autograph Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Brutal. My wife read me the letter last night from that paper and I could not believe the ignorance. I see a lot of crap every day but this is sickening
Terry Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 the person who wrote the letter has to be pretty stupid to do that really how could someone be that stupid
vance Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING the actions of this anonymous person,I live in Oshawa and we have several special needs people on our street and myself and my neighbors go out of our way to make them feel at home,the whole thing makes my blood boil.I remember as a kid in the 50s our next door neighbour kept his kid in the house because HE was ashamed that she was autistic.... vance
Richie Razor Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Utterly disgusting. Should be an easy find as to who it is, as disgruntled people stick out like a sore thumb. I would put money on the fact that then neighborhood already knows who this person is. Hopefully this "person" is exposed and her picture and name is smeared all over the media. What a low, disgusting thing to do.
Jds63 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 reading the letter sickened me, can't imagine how the parents felt, if it truly was a neighbor I hope they find out who and publicize their name
leaf4 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) that is truly sad to see someone stoop to that level, if they ever had someone in their family with a disability I'd like to hear what they have to say about their own blood. the girlfriend has a cousin with Down syndrome and luckily in his 40 ish years, as far as I've been told and seen in the past 4 years he's just about as loved as can be and is as lovable as they come whether it be his jokes or the way he communicates differently. everyone is equal as far as I'll ever be concerned, unless you're the lady that wrote that letter Edited August 20, 2013 by leaf4
Cookslav Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Disturbing, Cowardly, disgusting....simply appalling.
irishfield Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 The list of whom I won't hit the brakes for... if they step out into the street.... just keeps going up....
Pikeslayer Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Thank goodness that this young boy and his family have received so much community support (since the incident was reported)."Pissed off mother" is now hiding underneath a rock and sweating bullets. Hope they find him!!!
Ralph Field Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Sets the new high bar for Stupidity !
woodenboater Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Thing is, no one knows whether or not this child could become someone brilliant. Don't know the level of autism of the child in the above story but this story is amazing. Einstein...I can hardly imagine. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/autistic-boy-genius-iq-higher-einstein-article-1.1340923 and yeah, the useless turd that wrote the letter should just dry up and blow away in the wind....
bigugli Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Seen the same thing with one of my daughter's friends recently. She has an autistic son, and gets letters from HER FAMILY telling her to euthanize her "abomination before God". There is lot of this attitude towards the handicapped. Particularly amongst certain holier than thou communities. Their view is that the child is either the product of sin, or a punishment for the sin of the parents. This may be the 21st century, but there are still a lot of backward people out there.
SirCranksalot Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Disturbing, Cowardly, disgusting....simply appalling. Quite! Well said. Re Bigugli's post----I couldn't see disowning my family under almost any circumstance, but in that case I would make an exception.
bassassin Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 The list of whom I won't hit the brakes for... if they step out into the street.... just keeps going up.... ^ This
Carp Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 How can anyone say this is not a hate crime ? If other groups were targeted for extermination, I'm sure something would be done quickly to expose the people or person responsible and see them put behind bars. It's the haters that need to be exterminated !
Rich Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 Well the person who wrote the letter was obviously the one with serious mental limitations I'd say!!!!!! Grrrrrr i hate all the negativity on planet earth nowadays!
Muskieman Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 I'm still angry !! I work for Community Living and work along side wonderful Special Need clients every day , I'm a strong advoate for the cause , the author of this letter .... is a ... well ...grrrrrr ! Anyone of us could become " special needs " on the matter of seconds . I would so love to educate this person after giving them a well deserved punch to the face ..
mercman Posted August 21, 2013 Report Posted August 21, 2013 I can't even put words to how this makes me feel. I'll just say that it is in the nature of humans to be cruel and self absorbed. No other species kills for the joy of killing, or creates such hateful scenarios. Personally, I feel sadness for the author of the letter. Her life is filled with hate, and her energy is misdirected. Love and hate can not occupy the same space at the same time. Try to imagine what its like to only feel hatred, and to never know love. That's all Paul
