This gives me the creeps that someone would do this to this child. Educate yourself in how to care for someone with a illness like Melissa had. I am sure there were resource's to help with her care?

 

[Xara]

I can't believe what I am hearing. What is wrong with people?
I can't imagine how someone could do that.

I understand she had a lot on her plate. But when your frustration level rises that high, its time to call someone.
