I remain thankfully ignorant of retardation since my kids are normal.
As for this woman, to those who say shes scamming the system, what shes doing is taking the state up on their offer to pay her to stay home and take care of her son.
She needs a job or a husband with a job.
Why should anyone else have to pay for her & her defective kid?
Having a retarded kid is now a free ride forever? Why is that?

Because the states closed all the state institutions for the retarded after the leftist lawyers sued.
And now people get paid by the state to care for their own or have someone else care for them. Just like the ones without family are cared for by state and federal grant paid workers. Disability care and PCA is the new substitute for factory jobs. Except factory jobs produced profits and disability care produces more disability and entitlement.
I drove with a disabled person the other day who was upset that she lost her funding to continue theraputic riding. She whined about it. Since she is strong enough physically I suggested that she find a barn she could work in for riding time and lessons. She said that instead she wanted to find some one with a horse who would just let her ride it. Entitilement.
