standing up for disabled people

trish48 started this conversation

what is the deal with society now?  i read about an 18 year old mentally challanged boy who was sentenced to 100 years in jail for sexual conduct.  what is wrong  with this picture?  just because he is disabled, he should not get away with the charge.  but i do believe that it is wrong for him to be sentenced 100 years, when our society helped make him that away.  kids go to school and bully these disabled kids and the schools do nothing, the parents do nothing, so don't you think that we are to blame.  these kids go to school to get an education just like any other kids, just cause there is something wrong with them, doesn't mean that they should be looked down on.  and sentencing a 18 year old boy that has the mind of a 6 or 7 year old to 100 years in jail is wrong.  especially when the rest of society might only get 5 to 10 years.  i know people that have sexually assaulted kids, (even there own kids) and only got 90 days in jail and 10 years probation.  my father raped me for several years and all he got was 4 hours of counseling, i got put in a foster home and sent back to his house when i graduated high school.  so  does anyone out there feel the way i do?  i have a 19 year old disabled son, that i have raised on my own.  i have watched kids bully him all through school and get away with it.  but yet he has gotten in trouble for bullying a kid.  i have even heard teachers and principals bully these kids and treat them as if they have a contigous disease.  like they are nothing.  society needs to stand up for these kids and find other places for them than in our prison system where they will be bullied again or killed.   SO LET'S START STANDING UP FOR THEM AND MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD!!!!!!
