Obviously the kid with CP was happy about it and that's what matters.
As for not giving "special attention" to disabled kids....um, what the smurf. They are called "special needs" for a reason. Who the hell are some of you to say that they shouldn't receive any special attention? You haven't lived a day in your life with a disability. And you have no idea what disabled kids "need" because every kid is different.
If the kid didn't want any special treatment, he wouldn't have joined a sport he is physically incapable of doing.

After watching the video its obvious that is all he wanted. He couldn't even move except one arm pretty much, there is NO way he thought he would win. So the boy who threw the match had to of made his day. So sweet <3

I think that what matters is the boy wanted to do something that everyone else got to do, whether or not he won, and that someone on the other team was willing to support him in it.

Quoting Juliette:" <blockquote><b>Quoting bbbt:</b>" You don't think he knows this? He isn't dumb. He's ... [snip!] ... to be on the mat and the other kid volunteered to do it. Its not a big deal. It made the.kid happy why make it more than that?"

Agree

Quoting bbbt:" Not to me. I'm positive he expected to lose, and that's okay, because he clearly loves the sport and wants to participate regardless. No one is forcing him to wrestle."

You're positive he expected to loose why? Because you personally know this family & have talked to the child? You can't be positive of anything.

Quoting bbbt:" I think she has a better grasp on CP than you do, and that is unfortunate considering your daughter has it. "

Hands down the most arrogant & rude comment I have ever seen on BG to date.

Not rudest. Yesterday, I was told to jump in front of a train.

Honestly someone telling me to jump in front of a train would be slightly less offensive to me than insinuating I don't know anything about my own kids or their health conditions. :/ Just sayin' Ther eis a lot of stuff I can just blow off - pulling my kids into it makes it a bit tougher to do.

It's the thought that counts, but I would be afraid that the boy would be severely hurt (accidentally) by the other wrestler.

Jump in front of a train or being told you basically don't know your own daughters illness better than someone who doesn't deal with the illness on a daily basis?


I would rather the train comment.
