Welcome to the fear of any parent of a disabled child. Do you know how vulnerable they are to abuse-physical, mental and emotional and sexual?
This is why my plan is to take care of my son until I am physically unable to do so, and then G-d willing, his siblings will step in.
I know a few people who have put their children into institutional care. On some level, they have shut their hearts off to their own flesh and blood.
There is no way to protect a loved one in someone else's care. Sorry-that's just the way it is. The other cruel, sadistic fact is that there are many predators who are attracted to 'care-giving' professions precisely because their victims are mentally or physically unable to defend themselves or explain about the abuse.
A special place in hell exists for this group.
