And if it IS real, it's scary how little that person can recognize. Do they think the mother wanted a lifetime of hardship? Do they really think the hardship of hearing noise even compares to caring for a special needs child? Crazy.
I had to stop reading, the amount of anger I was feeling was unhealthy to myself and others. The author of that letter deserves to to live a very painful, long life. Death is far too good.

I totally believe it's real. And was written by an adult -- a hateful, vile adult who is borderline illiterate, but an adult nonetheless. There are plenty of them out there.
That poor mom. Just reading this makes me want to cry. Being the target of it, I can't even imagine how awful it would feel.
I'm hoping someone discredits it as a fake, because that's just fucking gross.
Yes yes yes
My son (14) is by all accounts high functioning Aspergers. He looks disheveled and really has no interest in regular hair cuts etc, but other than then he does "look" different. His main issue is social,'plus he doesn't fully understand authority figures and what not so sometimes he just sound like a jerky disrespectful kid when in reality, the more he sasses me, the more anxious I know he is.
Fuck everyone else. This poor kid and his poor mom/parents. I'm so so happy the neighborhood is on their side.

This rendered me speechless. I can't believe how much hate just drips from that note. I hope it's not real. I'm heartbroken for all the moms who could've been subjected to this nasty, vile note, as well as the mom who received it (I'm still holding out hope it isn't real). Seriously, who can be so vile and malicious, who is also a parent, to write such hateful filth like that?
It says they're planning on pressing charges. I wonder against who? Did they figure out who wrote it? I'd be sending that shit to the goddamn FBI to figure out.
In Canada we don't press charges ourselves, the police make the decision (so if they decide charges are laid, we can't just say we don't want them charged). The original and envelope have been passed to their regional police, and it's been on all of the Ontario news stations tonight.
Reading that literally made me cry. I don't even have children- but I cannot imagine how that mother felt reading that. What a horrible human being to have written that.
I'm all cried out for today, but this is where I am. My heart literally aches for that mother.

The worst part about this is that this woman will probably go on living her life with the same opinions about this child, without any repercussions of her actions.
This is just horrible. I really hate people sometimes. The fact that they felt they were speaking for the community just kills me. I hate when people assume everyone else is just like them. This amount of hate written over a child is just upsetting on soo many levels.
I know there are evil, hateful people in this world but there is truly a special breed of vile to be a MOTHER and spew such horrible venom on another human being - let alone a CHILD with special needs.
I went from rage to knowing that this is a miserable person. I don't wish her life, because obviously it's turned her into the most despicable excuse for a human imaginable. I'd pity her, but her behavior has lost her even that.
Do you think she had a miserable life? No. This person likely had a charmed life, devoid of any expectation to be accepting, kind or tolerant. This is classic entitlement.
I think that anyone who only sees the bad in situations that aren't perfect couldn't possibly know how to enjoy life when shit gets real. And since no one has a life without some kind of difficulty or trial, yes, I think she's likely miserable. But that's a result of her own personality and choices, so she's only getting what she deserves.

It doesn't matter if it was another adult/mother or some asshole teenager. What matters is the venom and hate in that letter. It's reports of things like this that make my heart ache for my own very disabled child.
The worst part about this is that this woman will probably go on living her life with the same opinions about this child, without any repercussions of her actions.
I hope not. It just came across my FB. The pitchforks are out.
I hope not too. But I don't know how they will ever decide who it is, KWIM?
