Tough Titmouse

ABC you owe the families and the children with special needs all over the world an apology. Nice come back though but spare me. ABCshould release a statement. I dare you to admit your fault. It was wrong and you know it.

Not sure what the "pathetic" reviewer above saw, but this episode points to the extremely difficult decisions we make as parents...when our children's care is in balance with their livelihood and how our fears compromise both. The network in no way is trying to sell a message about its acceptance of abandoning children. How ridiculous to even suggest that.

I am giving this 10 for the awesome performance by Richard Schiff and the great drama. Although, only one thing that is weird. The timeline of the episode, I don't know or understand what is wrong with Shaun at the hospital and Shawn with lea at his apartment or the new apartment? Is he as fast as flash to get their and then back? Especially when he told Dr. Glassman that he kept the secret for 30 minutes. They must have missed something or I don't understand it.

So, so bad...my rating is all about the way it is approached the topic of people with disabilities (intelletual disability). Thnking in institutionalization like only solution for those people is a retrograde ideia, is old and inadequate.Nowadays the aim is empower people with disabilities and give them tools for a social integration.

Yeah don't worry too much about the commentary from the moronic peanut gallery after you expressed an opinion. The writers spend a lot of time on this site and will respond ignorantly to all negative comments. Or it's some guilty parent that has put their own life before their childs. So don't sweat the follow ups. I had to look on here because I knew someone would say something about this episode so bravo to you. I have a special needs child and to me it's the greatest blessing I've ever received. I feel honored to be able to raise such a innocent and perfect human. It's not always easy but I would die for that child and I would NEVER give up!!!! I love this show so please don't get me wrong BUT, I too found this episode very hard to stomach. I get your anger, trust me, I do. I believe that the behaviors this actor portrayed did not warrant a parent giving him up. It left the viewers open to accepting that it's ok to put your child with mild to moderate behavioral issues in a home. She needed one day....please. Bull crap!!! You know what, you fight! I don't care how tired you are you keep fighting. Don't wuss out. Man up!!!! Take care of your kids NO MATTER WHAT!!!! My word, there are teenagers out there shooting up schools, beating up their parents, on drugs and the list goes on and the parents still love them and try to help them in every way possible because they see their child needs help. Love unconditionally, not selfishly. I don't believe proper research was done when writing this episode either. There's just some things writers shouldn't touch and this is one of them. It delivers the wrong message. Television and social media are the most influential outlets in the world and something like this could sway a parents decision and make a child spend their life without a family. Yuck. Anyway, I think your allotted your opinion so blow the rebuttals off. Just my opinion. God bless you for sharing. Rebuttler suck it!!! I suspect you'll respond but you'll waste your time. I won't be back to read it. Ta ta
