My brother adopted a retarded kid and it's ripped my family apart and ruined any interaction we have.
He has a normal kid of his own, but clearly cares more about the retard than he does about his own son.
The tard is now almost 20 (brother's had him for a fucking eternity, maybe 10 years?) with a mental age of a fucking annoying four year old.
He breaks everything... Everything. Let's make a small list: heaters, phones, computers, light switches, fire alarms, showers, taps, dishwashers, microwaves, doors, door-frames, walls, windows, bikes, torches, electric toothbrushes... Anything you can imagine, this kid has wrecked. But of course it's always an accident. Accidents tend to happen when he gets pissed off.
You can't have a conversation when the tard is in the room, because he's a literal child that wants attention all the time. He can speak but doesn't fucking understand anything, so it's a constant chorus of, "What that? What that mean? Why? Why you do that? What you mean?" My brother never shuts him up or tells him "no" for anything, hence bye bye conversation.
He makes a constant "uh... Uh... Uh.... Um... Um..." noise, like every 3-5 seconds. My brother says "he can't help it! He doesn't even know he's doing it!" bullshit. Dad told him to stop and he did... For the rest of the day. Then he started up again and my brother doesn't give a fuck.
He eats like a fucking pig, shovelling stuff into his mouth like a... I don't even know what. He can eat properly, he just doesn't bother and my brother, once again, doesn't give a shit.
Every time I see this tard, I want to punch him. Worst part is that he could've been a decent kid if he had any boundaries or (god forbid) consequences.
Instead.... I haven't been able to describe everything, but perhaps this will help: my aunt and uncle sold their fucking house and moved to a different city to get away from him. I'm not exaggerating, that was the reason they gave.
I hate that fucker, even though I know it's not his fault that he's like this. I just want my family back

They can be funny, though. These people I used to live next to had a tard. He was like 35 or something, but yeah, mentally about maybe 6 yrs old.
There was a school a couple blocks over, so kids would always walk through the neighborhood on their way to wherever when school got out. So one day I'm watching the mailbox because I'm waiting for a delivery. It's 2:30 or 3 or whatever, and school just let out. The mail truck comes and goes, and I'm walking out to my mailbox. These two girls that live further down the block, maybe 13 or 14, are walking by on their way home, and it's like late February or early April, so it's still snow on the ground and pretty cold. That's the scene - me standing at my mailbox and two rando teenie-boppers just strolling by. Then, out of the blue, here comes the tard.
I hear someone yelling, "Up up and away!" like four times. But, it's all nasally and goofy sounding, so it's more like, "Upup naway!" I turn around and look just as these girls are entering stage right, and here comes the tard, running at top speed right at them. He's wearing bunny slippers, red sweat pants, a Superman t-shirt, he has a Winnie the Pooh blankie tied around his neck like a cape, he's wearing an football helmet (not a tard helmet - an actual football helmet), he's swinging a five pound sledge hammer while he runs, and he's running right at these girls as they pass the end of his driveway.
One chick screams, drops her shit and runs. The other one just kind of froze and bunched up and cowered in fear. My jaw is practically on the ground, because I can't believe what I'm seeing. Then, just as he gets within striking distance of the cowering girl, he sets the hammer down on the ground, opens the mailbox, grabs all the mail, and tries to do that Thor thing to call the hammer back to him. But the girl is still huddled up on the ground, so he's reaching his arm over her with his hand open like six times trying to get the hammer to fly back to him. She's looking at him like wtf and flinching every time he reaches out for the hammer. Finally, he walks past her, grabs the hammer, and yells, "Upup naway," like four times as he runs back home swinging his hammer and carrying the mail.
Such is life living next to a tard.

Mail thor sounds kinda awesome.

I mean, he did once scratch his ass so hard he ripped a hole in his shorts, so that's something. Not as good as mail Thor, but still worth a laugh at the time.

My friends wife was an elementary school teacher, a really pretty blonde vibrant woman. A year or so ago she was standing in the hall outside her classroom door during class change as all the other teachers to monitor the children. Along comes a tard down the hall with it's handler, and with no provocation - tard goes full fucking apeshit fists and elbows on her about the head and torso and such. She quit the following week and has been in a legal battle with the county to get workers comp ever since. Really, why are resources used to try to inject these people into public education in the first place ?

The law forces the schools to accept them and pay for all the costs associated. That's the number one reason public education is so expensive - not because it costs more to teach kids to write, but because of how much it costs to tend to tards all day.

No child left behind. Introduced by Bush's wife.

They want to normalize it so when the vaccines turn your child into a tard you think its totally normal and just happens all the time.

Just your average liberal/leftist bullshit I'm afraid.
It's a natural extension of programs designed to bring standards up for those that traditionally perform badly, like niggers for example. Once you've had a few years of doing that, then a natural consequence of this is to extend the net further, and then you get tards edumacated. Completely pointless of course, just like those government run schemes to give them useful jobs to do which actually cost the taxpayer money. It makes far more sense to just have some day respite care if parents want them at home, of permanent residential care if not, even at the taxpayers expense as that's relatively cheap to introduce and replicate. Work opps and edumacation require a new approach for each individual due to, well, individuality.
This is course all removes opportunities from those wit the potential to make a difference to the word through their higher capabilities and intellect.
