How would you like this to happen to you and your family?
How would you like this to happen to your family? You have a specialty that is needed in another country, go over there to help and want to bring your family with you only to get denied because your child has a "special" medical condition? I think that this is discrimination. I am so angry and upset right now from reading this that I want to write a letter to the government there and give them a good piece of my mind, and then send a letter to the family for my condolences. I know one thing, this country was on my list to visit before I died...well, not no more!

By dearest friends' son Has Down Syndrome and she certainly would fight for the right for them to live wherever they want and not be denied because " it might cost the community money"!! Screw that!

I can't figure out how they think this kid is going to a burden in regards to medical costs? The guy's father is a friggin Dr. for God's sake! I will also say that based upon the picture (yeah I am generalizing here)that the man with Downs looks like a high functioning person, he could live on his own or hold down a job. What this whole thing comes to down to is a misinformed idiot who doesn't know squat about people with mental disabilities.

one word, RETARDED, and I'm NOT talking about the kid either!!!
