They'll be equally happy, or unhappy, in an institution. People who make what must seem like some species of heroic sacrifice to help a child like this are deluding themselves on that fact. And it isn't only children that people sometimes treat this way, but the mentally ill, and sometimes the dangerously mentally ill, in general.Pat, Marcus & Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097254988446524947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540124574202762417.post-47412043466761754472012-12-22T18:58:54.486-07:002012-12-22T18:58:54.486-07:00"Long and boring, and unlikely to be read by ..."Long and boring, and unlikely to be read by other than me."
