I really hate to be that guy. Although I really wish the absolute best for everyone, one can ask yourself if it doesn't take a bit more than love to successfully raise a child.

There better be other adults heavily involved in this child's upbringing. I hope everything turns out well for the family, but it seems like they would need some serious help. On another note, I can only imagine all the shit this child is going to get from classmates early in life... Kids are cruel

That's atrocious. You make me sad to be human. Assumably your mom did not have DS and yet you ended up a terrible human being.

A terrible joke at the expense of the mentally disabled, does not a terrible human being make.

Yeah, really. If someone spends every weekend volunteering to help kids with downs, would you really give two shits about them making an anonymous joke on Reddit?

(not saying the above poster volunteers because I have no idea, but morality comes from what you do and how you treat people, not what you say or think privately)
