[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of compassion for this family. I wonder if the woman with Down syndrome had access to birth control and sex education? If I were in charge of trying to turn this situation around for similar families, I'd make family planning clinics available for free, with free taxi rides there and back. The grandma might have been able to hold a minimum wage desk job. But 40 hours at minimum wage wouldn't pay her much more than the $12,000 a year she gets from disability insurance. And without her at home caring for her adult daughter the daughter would have to enter some kind of social services program herself, probably.[/quote]
