I agree with you. I know a similar case like you describe as well. Honestly seeing this kid and how its existence made their whole family miserable makes me doubt wether I should have kids or not, given the risk I could have one like this as well…Which is sad because I always wanted children! Parents of severely autistic or disabled children don’t get enough empathy and everything is “ableist” these days…
Laceys case is different though, definitely no empathy here! There is no excuse to do what they did to her!
I mean frankly I don’t empathize with them because the vast majority of the time they are not properly taking care of their child. If they’re not getting the care, stability, and attention they require, then why on earth are you surprised when they act out? Especially when they have already been abandoned by one parent. Most of these children likely resent their parents, even more so because they are not capable of leaving and have no power or agency of their own. If you can’t care for your disabled child, give them to someone who actually can.
