Seriously? People shouldn’t be “subjected” to individuals who have developmental disabilities? What a horrible thing to say. He was probably scared because his caregiver was nowhere to be found and he was waiting in line for a long time. Obviously what happened to the young boy is horrible, but the person to blame is the caregiver who left the guy alone. It makes sense to have empathy for both the young man AND the boy.
You have no idea if any of that is true
Hey may have been scared. He may not have
The caregiver might have been in the wrong. She might have been doing exactly what she should have
Well, I don't know what he was so scared of at the water park, since he was probably twice as tall as most of the young kids there. He was 18 and older than most of them, too. If he gets scared around young kids he needs to be kept away from them.
Sorry for the sarcasm I need to go away from this again. No he didn't bite anyone bc he was scared, he didn't throw anyone over the top of the rail because he was scared, he has a problem controlling his temper, which is indicative more if a mental illness than disability, as in MI/DD.

Don't put words in my mouth, my cousin had Downs Syndrome. From a young age I had first hand experience with mentally disabled people. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I hear the word "retarded" used out of context. I worked with a young woman in an office who had a habit of saying "that's retarted" or saying "They're so retarded", I finally corrected her.
This is a case of someone who has a history of violence and attacking strangers. You don't leave them unattended in a situation like this.
That’s not the part she was contradicting. She was contradicting the part where he said it was more indicative of mental illness then developmental disabilities.
Obvious to anyone participating in this thread who's not being incidentally dishonest - twice
First pretending they didn't say anything about it being indictive of mental illness and not DD
Second saying I said I "tied shoes" for $9 an hour
