I know several people with children who have special needs. I’ve seen firsthand the toll it takes on a family, and what the parents go through when they realize their lives won’t be what they imagined.
I can’t even begin to imagine the anger if you knew someone else’s irresponsible and completely avoidable actions caused that. Just terrible. [Reply]

18 month minimum on that deal, I bet he's released right at the 20 month mark giving him 16 months of parole. Not enough time at all to serve the justice for what he did. [Reply]
Really a sad story all around. It angers me that a child and her family’s life is forever changed.
I also feel for Andy as a parent.
Britt is getting off easy. But I also don’t know how remorseful he is. [Reply]

I can't imagine my two boys doing what his have when they grown up.

I have a son with cerebral palsy because of doctor error (birth). The Dr. lied on the paper work and more. My son is severe...doesn't talk, walk or even eat. He's confined to a wheelchair and my wife has had to change more diapers than Mother Theresa. Lucas is 25 now. The one thing I take some comfort in is he doesn't know any other life. He's been this way since day one. To be the parent of a child who's life has been changed in such a dramatic way would be two-fold devasting...and hard to survive. [Reply]

You and your wife are very strong, and quite frankly inspirational. Nothing but respect for your efforts and the love you’ve shown your boy. Rep. [Reply]

Nice of you to say. I wish I could tell these people it will be OK. I just hope they survive it as a family. They can be happy again it will all just be a tainted happiness. [Reply]
