Holding an opinion that an adult, regardless of their mental condition, should not be free to beat a 3-year-old hardly makes one a "moron" as you so eloquently opined. I'm not saying the sick man should be locked up because he is not right in the head, I'm saying he should not be allowed to roam free to beat babies. What's so hard to understand? If he has violent tendancies, keep him on a leash! This may sound harsh to you, but that's what I think.
Autism isn't "Rain Man". I actually have known many people on the spectrum of autism. I am not promoting the concept of having wild packs of autistic people running around beating upon 3 year olds. The article was written or the response here has been like this individual has his full faculties and this action was done with malice. MORE THAN LIKELY, there is no concept of age differential between the "attacker" and the "victim".
I'm sure the parents would prefer to have their son in a safe group home or institution. Unfortunately, that's not the way it is. There is plenty of money for refugees, not enough for less fortunate citizens.
My apologies for calling you a moron. I don't like people saying bad things about people incapable of defending themselves. I don't like "taking breaths" though.
Enjoy your day.
