Actually in Keshia's case, she was the size of a 6 year old.
It sounds to me as though Ashley's parents are trying to do the majority of care for Ashley themselves - although unorthodox and NOT by any means something that should become standard, I understand their decision. I am surprised that it was allowed, but I understand it and am glad that they are actually caring for her. I see special needs children every day that are almost completely neglected or abused by their parents.
