Yes it is very sad and I get just as angry as you when I see or hear about this kind of mistreatment. I raised my boys to look out for people who are different from them and to not let others mistreat them. I think the parents of those abusers are lacking in some parenting skills.  |

hun, i work with ppl with developmental disabilities, and i know all 2 well how ppl can be towards some 1 with a disability. it is so sad that ppl can be so mean, and it used 2 make me so mad when i see ppl do this while i am with my clients, or anywhere.but now i just smile at them, cause i know im doing something worthwhile, and that im helping my clients live a better life. and if these mean ppl would only take the time out 2 get 2 know the person with a disability. they would learn that most of these ppl r so loving and caring, and they give their love so freely. also , if these ppl would just take the time out, they would know what it is like 2 truly make a difference in the lives of a person with disabilities . luv and big huggs shay  |

thqat is so harsh, it's bc they don't understand and their ignorance turns to fear and misunderstanding, while it isn't fair it is the way the stupid ppl know how to react, i was crosseyed until last summer and my vision is still poor, i got called some nasty things and strangers would come up and comment and make fun of me, you never get use to something like that, ppl would avoid talking to me if they didn't know me just because they didn't understand, so i can relate-may |

i have a physical disability....and when i was in school....i was really upset one day....because i was being picked on, i remember my brother being ready to hunt them down....but i hope someday....just maybe...people will learn not to hurt another because of a difference, and i hope more people will stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves, but most of all....i really hope that those hurt by another's cruelness grow strong enough to overcome it.  |

it is sad, I dont know why people are like this.. it takes someone to be raised around them to understand them.... My boyfriends either cousin or uncle, or family friend or something is mentally retarded and he has a crush on me.... Its cute, but I am very uneasy around him for reasons I don't feel like discussing. its not the fact that he is disabled, but something else.. not needing to be discussed.. most of the handicapped children in my school aren't teased, but in elementary, especially in elementary school is it the worst... Love ya tonz.  |

That is sad.. there is NO reason whatsoever to make fun of someone that is handicapped in ANY way... The person who does this obviously lacks self respect and takes it out on others.. this is sad, and so sorry you have to SEE humankind acting like that...   |

For some reason, this made me think of something that happened when I was in high school, about a thousand years ago.  There was a young man who had Downs Syndrome at my school. He was several years younger than me, but his sister *also* had Downs Syndrome, and I was her volunteer tutor. Anyway, some of the kids were cruel to the boy. Outside, one day, I saw a group circling this poor boy. By the way, he'd also just been diagnosed with Leukemia. I knew this, because being his sister's tutor, I knew their parents. As I watched, getting ready to walk over and smack someone for picking on this poor kid, I saw the school bully join the crowd. I thought, great, now I have to deal with him too. But to my amazement, in no uncertain terms, he broke this group of kids up, picked up the boy's books and walked him inside. I was utterly astonished. This bully who had no regard for the rest of the kids he picked on, came to the aid of the handicapped boy. To this day, I still don't know why. But maybe that one act of kindness redeemed him in some way.  |

I agree with you people can be very hurtful to others with disablities, God Bless N. P.s. but there're a lot of good people out there who do care about others feelings like yourself  |
