It was last week that I left a coffee shop and found a retarded man pissing on my car tire. I yelled at the boy-man, and then ran towards my car. It turns out that his mother was just getting something out of her trunk and didn't see that her son was pissing on my tire. She apologized for his actions, but I could not accept it.
I think it's important that parents keep watch over their children. Having a retarded child does not mean that the parent can relinquish his or her responsibility for her son's actions. This goes for all parents in our country. I hope all parents are mindful that some children need to be watched more carefully than others. I could have had a gun that day, but I chose to leave it at home on the kitchen table beside the bowl of fruit.
