Hello Aaron,

>LL>That is common, not just in New York, and has been happening for
>LL>years.  Problem is, there are now too few public facilities they can
>LL>go to, as states have closed most of them down due to budget cuts.

>But how do you explain "budget cuts" to a child with little brain function?
>I'm not blaming you, I'm just venting. Shouldn't housing for disabled
>children be a primary function of the state? Like mandatory spending?

Different department.  See foster care.

>LL>It is a medical condition.  Rush Limbaugh had a problem with this,

Social Security has determined that alcoholism is a disability.
So why not drug addiction?  Or gambling addiction?  Or tech addiction?
I am spending way too much time on fidonet.  Do I qualify?

>LL>Sugar causes tooth decay.  Should we ban sugar?
>LL>Pain pills cause addiction.  Should we ban pain pills?
>LL>Cigarettes cause cancer.  Should we ban cigarettes?

>Banning sugar & cigarettes might work, because who wants to go to prison for
> smuggling those items?

Cigarettes are not banned in prison because doing so would cause
a riot.  If you truly want to make a prisoner happy, give him/her
a carton of cigarettes.  Even if they do not smoke, they will
thank you profusely, and become your very best friend forever.

I have been told that cigarettes are more addictive than heroine.
Which might explain why heroine is never found in prisons.
