I can safely say without a doubt that I never wanted to harm Ravi,

even in my sleep I would wake up to check his breathing but never

even in a dream did I want him gone. Never never never, and I would

advocate chaging a diet, modifying behavior and a myriad of other

things to parents before accepting that a child would be better off

dead. Those are the comments of someone that is overwhelmed with

their own limitation. In the kindly NT world, having to do something

that is unique is akin to torture. There were days I would cry there

were days I thought I was inadequate, there were days other people

were slated for demolition(unfeeling entities) etc, but never the

child. It is a test of ability; clearly these guys fail. Hard yes,

difficult days yes, others unwilling to help yes. Child=innocent
