[quote user="Poppa_Zit"][quote user="News story"] <p>[The child's mother] said access to the tracks should be permanently blocked or, better yet, the tracks should be moved out of the residential neighbourhood.<br /> <br />"It's not fair for those who are minorities and have no say. So as a mother, I speak up. I would like to see the railroads removed and I don't care how much it would cost the government to do that. When you lose a life, you can't replace back that life." </p><p>[/quote]</p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">Oh, brother. Here we go.</font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">First, this sound bite proves the mother doesn't think her "mentally challenged" child's whereabouts and supervision are her responsibility.</font></p><p><font face="georgia,palatino" size="3">Second, she doesn't hesitate to play the "us poor, neglected, ignored minorities" sympathy card right away.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">Then, as frosting, she blames the government for "allowing" a railroad in a residential neighborhood.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">So....</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">1. The railroad was there long before she decided to move into that neighborhood.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">2. She failed miserably in her responsibility as a mother for not monitoring a "special" child's activities, but refuses to consider any of the blame is hers.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">3. If she thinks minorities have no say, she oughta come to Chicago and see the almost -daily protest marches from every race, creed, color and sexual orientation. If the didn't produce occasional results in implementing change, they wouldn't march. </font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">4. Based on her comments and lack of pre-emptive action, her son may not be the only "mentally challenged" person in that household.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia" size="3">I really feel for that child. With that woman as his mother, he doesn't stand a chance.</font></p><p> </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!<span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[bow]</span><span class="smiley">[tup]</span><span class="smiley"></span> </p>
