This report makes me physically ill. First, because of what happened to the children. Second, because now a lot of folks will tar all of us big families with the same brush and run around saying that we all treat our kids like that.

Although my children have no "special issues", there are dozens of families around who do have many children who do have them and they do well. The children are loved and they thrive.

This same kind of horrible thing happens all too often in small families but it's quickly forgotten and it's kind of like what happens to the Greek system. A bunch of guys from a dorm get plastered and go out and do something awful and it might not even make the news. The Greeks go out and do it and the papers jump all over the Greeks with accusations of how all Greeks are that way.

I don't want anyone to think that anything but the smallest percentage of large families act like this.
