EDIT TO ADD: And on topic, whoever sent that letter has no excuse for sending such a hateful message and I hope she is called to task for it. Is there any evidence that the child in question has been left inadequately supervised to engage in bad behavior? Or is this special little snowflake just scared of breathing the same air as someone she views as subhuman in her utter ignorance and irrational hate?

She probably should have made a second draft of the letter, however.


It may well be an over reaction and I doubt she meant everything she said but that doesn't change the fact that if she does in fact live in the neighborhood she could have simply spoken to her.

I don't think the issue is bad behavior, the source of her complaint seems to be screaming which she finds disturbing and is apparently frightening her children. The message was unnecessary but that's a legitimate complaint.

Lovely. I do enjoy the excessive punctuation, for one.

I wish for her to eventually realize that what she said in that letter is wrong and hurtful, and I want her to repent for saying hateful things.

The letter would be more offensive if it actually was possible to read it, but i find the euthanasia bit to be exceptionally ironic of said person to write about, because judging from this letter alone she'd qualify under most definitions of it.

She could have talked to the parents in a respectful and civilized manner. There is such a thing as respectful and civilized as opposed to hateful.

The real lulz will begin if and when the police find the author of the letter.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.

Also, the edge in this thread is lulzy and terrifying. Even if the crazy bitch lady did send that letter, at least be sophisticated in your edge? Or at least know that you aren't really doing mush good service too?

But people are hardly falling over themselves to write abusive letters to special needs children.

Yes, they'll charge her with hate speech and send her to a tolerance camp. Hurr

The collateral damage is a just enough punishment to keep her quiet, I think. And this is coming from a person with Aspergers.

It's not hate speech, since hate speech is defined in Section 319 of the Criminal Code as inciting hatred against an identifiable group (i.e. saying that all people with autism should be euthanized).

Most likely it would be a harassment charge, though it might be construed as threat of bodily harm. I heard on CBC a few minutes ago that local police are forwarding the letter to the Crown Prosecutor to determine if there was any criminality (or, as the mother of the boy put it, if the letter writer "crossed a line").

You know that shocked laughter that people get? I read that and I had shocked laughter.
To think that people exist in this world that would send letters like that.
We know some people hate us, but to put it in a letter and send it is shocking.

And people say I have empathy issues.

This is monstrous. Even at my most frustrated, I would never dream writing something this horrific. Sickening.


Of course, there is always the possibility that the lady wrote the letter herself, for one reason or another. That would be interesting.
