They need to learn acceptance regardless of what a person looks like, what they have or don't have. We can't shelter our children and we can't shun those who have "disabilities".Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491033490203984158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-70143288865626255742009-03-30T20:10:00.000+01:002009-03-30T20:10:00.000+01:00Yeah, that shows major ignorance with the parents ...Yeah, that shows major ignorance with the parents saying their children would be scared.

What is to fear from someone missing part of their arm? Nothing. Children don't notice these things and when they do, they simply ask for an explanation, which is easy enough to give. "That girl was born with only one arm. That happens sometimes." End of story really. What all of the parents who posted complaints were really saying are, "I'm afraid of people with disabilities and I don't want to explain my fears to them."My name is Erin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11804807199446678942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-45999375692439789162009-03-30T17:49:00.000+01:002009-03-30T17:49:00.000+01:00It is ridiculous, sometimes i think things are get...It is ridiculous, sometimes i think things are getting worse, we are so busy concentrating on what people can't do, on their limitations, we don't stop to notice what they can do...<BR/><BR/>its hard to think of Deion out in the world having to put up with so much ignorance...no one should have to.Sally's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416164953787994180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-24539983751394955232009-03-30T15:42:00.000+01:002009-03-30T15:42:00.000+01:00Ah yes, I know just how to handle this. *takes ou...Ah yes, I know just how to handle this. <BR/><BR/>*takes out his wand and points it at the story*<BR/><BR/>Riddikulus!RileyScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944320276824503953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-57052477857100475142009-03-30T15:34:00.000+01:002009-03-30T15:34:00.000+01:00You are right.

When we left, I asked her how the girl lost 3 of her fingers.
