From the Poor Headline Department.
There’s more to the story:
Mason had cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus, according to KTVZ. He required multiple surgeries, including two or three so far this year, but always seemed happy, Hansen said.
His mother showed no signs of depression or of feeling overwhelmed, she added.
How very, very sad. There could have been help I’m sure if she had sought it.
“Mason’s father left after his diagnosis and Jordan lived with her mother to make ends meet, said Hansen, the executive director of the Central Oregon Disability Support Network.”

Sorry ass baby daddy is to blame for much of this.
Single parenthood is a bad choice
My heart breaks that she was so deeply overwhelmed as to take them both out of life. She deserves the book thrown at her, but we should all look at the plight of family caregivers who care for the very disabled. I feel I’m losing my mind often enough and I feel for her. She chose wrong and deserves punishment. She should have cried out. It is damn hard caring for very ill or damaged people.
Assisted suicide s legal in Oregon; so what’s the problem? /sarcasm
We used to have state schools for cases like this.
And we used to recognize when it was more merciful to let them pass instead of pouring in tons of resources into the child.
Here a few weeks ago, a mother threw her 4 year old daughter into the Hillsborough River. She was disabled with Austim. So sad...
