    They should lift the prints off the letter to find who did it. If the police aren't willing, maybe a private investigator?

    Just sickening!!!!!

    What a coward as well. "Nobody has the guts to tell you"? Obviously this coward didn't have the guts to sign their name to the letter.

    To be fair, "whaling" is best left to the open sea. I could live a full and rich life without ever going to a "mommy" blog, can't imagine it's much more than stories like this.

    I recall a scientist once commenting that . . .certain diseases [genetic disorders]
    could be pretty much wiped out simply by killing every one with it.
    That the gene was so recessive that if you euthanize them or at least sterilize them
    then the gene would never reach dominance again [except in extreme cases]

    Evidently . . . some folx believe in this cold kind of logic

    There is a lot of truth to that. Culling the heard so to speak for the benefit of the species. But then what would we become?

    Pretty horrid thing for a person to do. Like the parents didn't want to have a normal child. I'm sure it is hard on them.

    Dang. That is pretty cold. And I got pissed when someone stuck a note on my garage for leaving the trashcans out for two days.

    I'd be pissed too if my neighbor's son was gutting whales on my block too.

    Yep that was the idea behind forced sterilization laws in the US which were later used by the Nazis as the basis, eventually, to the final solution. It's pretty sickening

    That was me, and you need to take your trashcans in faster. They're an eyesore to the whole community.

    That was one of the more unbelievable things I've ever read.

    Because we've all been fingerprinted, amirite? And sending someone a nasty letter is illegal, amirite?

    This is just a real life version of a message board. Anonymous and spiteful.

    I hope they find the person responsible... with enough uproar, they probably will. I'm surprised the letter is signed by someone claiming they are a "mother." It strikes me as if it's been written by a man.

    I read this yesterday and when I started I was like wow this is bad. And then it just kept getting worse.

    This person is upset that they have to hear the child make some noises from time to time? This cold hearted b*tch can't even begin to imagine what these parents have gone through ever since this child's birth. She just needs to look at this situation and thank god that her children were born without any disorders because as scary as it sounds, this could happen to anyone. I know that I look forward to being a parent someday, and even though you never think it could happen to you.... that is exactly what the parents of many of these children thought as well. Being a parent isn't about having a "normal" or a "special" child, it is about loving someone unconditionally.

    Wow, just wow. That's all I can say. I'm a father of an autistic son (albeit mild) and it's amazing the amount of ignorance there is about autism as a whole, though it's getting better. But hey, I didn't know anything about it either when my son was diagnosed. Wish we could communicate better, but I wouldn't change him for nothing..... and the instant access to the Fast Pass lanes of all the attractions at Disney World a couple of weeks ago was nice too. :grin:

    But, all you can do is just shake your head and this mom better pray that her "normal" kids don't wind up with some sort of mental or physical "disability". But, I'd be willing to bet that one (or more) of her kids is not so normal after all.

    I almost wish that it was written by a man. How can anyone have given birth to children and still be so cold hearted?

    I can't believe Richie Incognito didn't have the guts to sign that letter like a man.
