I hear you. My daughter has Downsyndrome and everything and everyday is a challenge for her. When I see the kids in the neighborhood teasing, treating her like a dog I die a thousand deaths each time, each horrible comment. I finally went to one of the kids parents and I had to tell them what would follow for them if their kid ever so much as looked at my daughter again. I wasn't cool about it and they knew I meant what I said. They were standing right there at the time when their kid started insulting my daughter. Even before I had a daughter with Downs, I always thought the people that used them as a punch line are the lowest of Gods creation.
WOW... thats sad man. How could a parent allow their kid to do that ?
WOW... thats sad man. How could a parent allow their kid to do that ?
We were having a cookout at our house and their kid starts screaming in my daughters ear and I mean screaming, " your ugly, your weird, I hate you. !" My downs daughter is five and their daughter is eight and she plays with my eight year old daughter. This wasn't the first time but, her parents were never around for the other crap. I figured well, here are parents to witness this and they didn't say a word, never told her one freakin thing. There are other neighbors at our house too and we are all just sitting outside watching the fireworks but the true fireworks started when I grabbed the father. I grabbed him by his shirt and told him, if I ever hear their kid or any parents kid so much as say boo to my daughter or look at her cross-eyed I, will pick up your kid and beat you with them. I was red hot and out of control with my temper and had he even flinched or tried to down play it I would have beaten him, his wife and two kids into the ground.
They left and actually, everyone left our house. Ten minutes later everyone came back except for the neighbor I grabbed along with his wife and kids. Dang ! I'm all fired up now !
As another poster stated, she just wants accepted and she tries so hard to fit in but the reality of it, we can't take our eyes off her because she just doesn't understand and she doesn't even know enough to have fear that could save her life. She will walk in front, behind a moving car. She will walk off the edge of a roof if you gave her a chance. She can't speak she can't do a lot of stuff but, she is smart in her own way.
When they told me my daughter would be born with Downs it was the end of the world for me because as a parent you want everything for your kids and good health at the top of the list. I will love her all my life but I do worry who will take care of her when I'm gone. No one could ever give her the love like parents gives a child. It took being a parent to know this. I know one thing for sure, what we consider normal and good won't allow the gates to heaven fling open as fast for when my daughter or any other challenged person would have.
Sorry for getting off the football subject.

He is from Canton
. No actually he is from The Massillon Mental Facility .Where are you from? Was this just a shot in the dark or were you really aware that back in the old days the Ohio State Insane Asylum was indeed located in Massillon?

Quite an interesting building. I do not believe it still stands.

I did some further looking on line. there was actually an entire complex there. I don't believe the buildings I depicted in the photo are still standing, but indeed there are still a few buildings from the complex still there, and some may in fact be in use by a private mental healthcare facility, though I am certain the methods have changed from the old days.

Sometimes getting off the football subject is the best thing that happens on these message boards.
Though there are plenty of insensitive boobs in this world, there are many Godly and loving folk as well. Downs children are gentle and loving, the purest of souls and the angels watch over them. God bless you and your family. Your beloved daughter will teach you and those whose lives she touches more about love than you ever thought possible. Those who criticize or attack her are the poorer for it. Isn't it interesting how our definition of "friend" evolves over time? The depth of love, hope and understanding will be profoundly expressed in your lives.

The Massilon Penitentiary still stands. Godsmack and Lil Wayne have filmed music videos there.

The team and uniformas remind me of Retarded kids trying to be competitive. It is funny to watch them eek out a win and celebrate like Super Bowl winners.
Asshole!

Sometimes people are just naive and just don't know. Kids obviously don't know. Has this neighbor ever came back around to apologize or even talk to you all again?

I think you guys have cool uniforms.I dig the helumts!!..I am so glad to see more "parity" in the NFL.I am glad to see teams like the Falcons and Browns having better teams.I am so sick of the Patriots,Colts,Steelers and Cowboys I could puke..lol.The Saints had their day in the Sun,but I am sick of hearing all the media love for them.When we beat them in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago,that to me was the biggest win for the Falcons in 2 years..lol

It was not a Penitentiary. Massillon had the Asylum. I believe you are thinking of the Mansfield Reformatory where a few movies have been made including The Shawshank Redemption and parts of Air Force One.
