All 6 children in trouble with the law?(among other things, that I didn't mention) There are some serious flaws in parenting here. And let's say it is all due to genetics....nothing she did helped any one of her other kids, so why would she be given the opportunity to fail this child as well, especially at her advanced age.

Myself...I have adopted two boys that both have mental health issues. Research into the family background has shown me that the maternal biological family of the boys had severe mental health issues. This is not something I can change but what I can do is get them the best care possible..[/quote]
You're absolutely right. Give them the best care possible and hope it is enough to get them through. Unfortunatley this wasn't the case with this family.

I have also met a grandmother of 76 that had been raising her teen grandchildren all of their lives...all 5 children. The only child that is not excelling in all they do is one that is 21 yrs old with the mind of a 6 month old due to birth injury. Grandma changes her diapers, bathes her and takes pride in her grandchildren.[/quote]
That is wonderful, but I'm sure not the norm for a 76 yr. old. Also, if her grandson is 21, then she was 55 when he was born. That's a lot different than being 70 and having a newborn.
