  Am I missing something there? They were faced with a "severely disabled" 8 year old. They put him somewhere where minimal harm could come to him so they could get food etc for him and provide a normal life for his sister. How is spending cop dollars and CPS and Court dollars on this situation going to make it better? He's now in CPS custody along with his sister -- good luck surviving AZ CPS kiddies! How is the royally terribly messed up State of AZ going to do any better by these kids? Maybe the intervention should have been BEFORE the parents were treated like criminals??? Naw, that would be too smart for AZ.

  aarrgh, just because a child is severely disabled does not mean it's okay to lock that child in a bathroom. If this child remained locked up into adulthood, and the parents kicked him out of the house, think of how much tax dollars it would take to rehabilitate him. Just because you beleive it's okay to lock a child up like that to save tax dollars doesn't make it right. And what is the definition of a "normal life?" One would think the sister would develop insight and understanding regarding her brother. Having her going through childhood with a brother locked in a bathroom is not "normal."

  At least now they don't have to deal with the child anymore. Now, my taxes get to support the little window licker.

  every think maybe the kid lock himself up or the lock is already locked and he push the door closed. most mental kids like to be alone in there own little world.

  Twin1: Did you read my post? No, I didn't think so. What I said (and here I'll assume that saying it again will actually sink it into your head) was: How was this situation made better by criminalizing the parents? The answer: It wasn't. But this is completely typical of the way AZ (and you) handle these kinds of situations. Read, BEFORE you shoot off your mouth. I never said it's OK to lock up a kid to save taxpayer dollars.
