You don't get it at all...........

To see a 9 and 15 year old who are not potty trained.  Even a mentally challenged person is capable of being potty trained. 
That is a hateful thing to say - especially when you don't even know what you're talking about.  My grandson is 9 and has had this problem ever since starting potty training.........he has been to 2 pediatric gastroenteroligist and to one of the best Childrens' Hospital in our state...........................he is an all "A" student and is in the accelerated learning program in school (a far cry from mentally challenged)................I hope you never have to go through this with a child, for the child's sake, because you would never be able to handle it.

You don't understand.................

Quote From: bluhrig

Yuck!  We always assumed those really stinky kids (in high school special education classes) - fewer than one every five years - were just dirty or had poor hygiene.  We never guessed this could be the cause.  If those kids don't have a documented physical problem and past help, those parents are among the most abusive I've ever heard of.
.....well, at least you got that right.  You have no idea what strength  and love it takes these parents to do what has to be done to help their kids - don't judge when you don't know anything about it please
