Oh, god help me. I did social services for a few years here in San Francisco. Orange, you'd recognize the name of the children's shelter where I worked in the Haight.
Definitely made me see San Francisco a little differently.

Couldn't be any worse than how Chinese immigrants treat their tard kids (and the kid's poor mothers)

I don't mean that; I just realized how difficult it can be for a lot of families to bring up kids - any kids - in San Francisco. I often think about foster parenting, but I'm a little intimidated by the idea of what kids have to face out there every day.
Definitely a different ball game than when I was a kid.

Well then allow me to nauseate you a moment. What Chinese immigrants do is the father calls mom back in the home country and says, 'Ma, I have a son but they say he has Aspergers!', and mom says, 'Son, it's the whore you married's fault, come back home and we'll find you someone proper'. And he does. Mom of said tard, most often not an English speaker, sometimes not in the country but a year, without proper immigration status except she has a tard son who is an uhmerican citizen and really hasn't been allowed out of the house since she arrived in the country is suddenly left alone in the second most expensive city in North America. Oh, and the one person she has a connection with has a disease which will forever make him unable to communicate emotionally with her. We get two or three of these a year and keep Cantonese speakers on staff. At such times I make sure we have Song fonts on the PCs and make myself real busy far away from the parent resource center.
