Disability is no excuse to not parent

But I confess I feel ambivalent about this.  I mean, if I'm out with my dogs off leash I feel responsible for what they do.  If they jump up on you with muddy paws, i've at least got to offer to get your clothes cleaned.  But with kids/people it is different.  Maybe it really does take a village to raise all our kids, especially those with behavioral disabilities.  If that's right it kind of points to what is off about strict libertarianism.

Thanks Whats.

I used to consult with an institution that warehoused young adults that had varying degrees of mental disabilities. Most were there for life. Gives me a little more insight/empathy, maybe.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
