I cannot let go of this story. I posted on #1317 what some parents did to a young kid and got praised for it:
Dave Walborn lifted his son upright, all 32 pounds of him, slipped one hand behind his lolling head and gazed into the open but vacant blue eyes. He spoke out loud the words that would move him and the boy's mother, Kerri Bruning, one step closer to an excruciating decision.
"Dylan, it's OK if you want to go," he said. "I don't want you hanging on for me."
He heard no response, felt no mystical vibe. But with the sound of his own voice, Dave opened the door to a possibility:
Can we let the Denver Post get away with cutting heroes out of slimy dough with evil cookie cutters?

And still, he defied expectations.
Dave, now 32, and Kerri, 35, had heard predictions that he would not see his first birthday. But Dylan saw that one and three more. And though these anniversaries brought no corresponding developmental milestones - no first steps, no first words, no first anything - the parents built two loving homes for their son.
They never married. Although their engagement weeks after Dylan's birth reflected good intentions, their short romance dissolved in the difficulty of caring for a severely disabled child and they called it off. Yet they remained committed to their son, mutually respectful and supportive as caregivers.
Even as they moved apart, Dylan's life bound them.
But by the middle of his fifth year last summer, the boy's seizures had intensified. Although doctors countered by increasing his medication, the spasms repeatedly burst through the chemical buffer.
I hope others can read the whole and long detailed article, but I am unable to get through it.

I can't even read the whole thing! This is what it has come to folks. Killing is killing. The homosexuals succeeded in changing the definition of a word, gay used to mean happy/merry, but now is used to describe a sodomist. Removing nutrition ought to mean 'starving to death', now if it was a healthy child in the home, Social Services would have those parents you know what in a sling.
