I think it is just fitting not to let mentally incapacitated parents to raise their children because they are incapable of providing these children with enough care, love and providing their basic needs. It is just also right that the government will look into the welfare of these mentally challenged individuals.

I so think that it is because of some tasks that parents must do to their children which some physically disabled person and those who have mental disorder can not provide. This is actually a very sad thing to parents with disabilities.

How can you stand to be a (http://www.mactuc.com) lawyer in this situation? I don't know if I could do it, being in court and watching families get torn apart. It would be really hard. -Surrey
