In StD's perfect world, it's the foster parents who are the victims here. The poor people needed a break. Taking care of a retard is HARD WORK. And you haven't walked in their shoes and such like.
But... but... he didn't say any of that. :confused:
Sad case, and sadly seemingly more common. Or is it just that the media reports on this stuff more?

When Subjective Effect is calling you out on your attempt to zing StD, you've already lost.

Yeah, I imagine back in the days of yore this kind of thing would just happen.
Or, y'know, retarded kids would be in the workhouse instead. Or on the streets. Or into a "home" or something. Kids with parents unable to cope? Yeah, good luck to them.
Cruelty to children is a relatively recent development because it's only in the past 100 or so years (and even more recently in most cases) that the quality of life for the majority of disadvantaged children has really become anything above cruelty.

Presumption of innocence is the "ultra-liberal argument" now :confused:
