They overfeed them until they look like this. And no, they don't get called out on it. In fact, there's an entire "movement" to legitimize it; it's called HAES.
I agree with this statment but might I ask, in your opinion is it because they wold be a burden to sociaty or its the only humane way or something else?
The parent's definitely didn't handle this the best way, but I try to reserve judgement on parents until I hear both sides of the story. A lot of parents of children with severe autism are in way over their heads. I've worked with guys who literally hit themselves in the head until they went blind, bit chunks of flesh out of someone else or broke someone's hands. I remember one guy who had to have 2 state troopers bring him back to the facility everytime he went home because he'd beat up his parents so badly. These are very very extreme cases, but just saying sometimes parents don't want to send there kid away but are utterly unequipped to handle them.
Suspect that is the case here too. We bought a house and realized there was a lock on the outside of one of the child bedrooms. When asking the neighbors if they had a son or second child, nope. Only one child anyone knew of.
Still no idea what they would be trying to keep in the bedroom.
what kind of lock? We put key locks on many doors to keep our incredibly impulsive son out of the pantry, shed, spare bathroom and the like. Not ideal but if not these places get destroyed.
My sister, who was 17 at the time, started looking up to me as a kind of father figure after my dad left my mom, I was keeping the bills payed and keeping her out of trouble so I kind of took up the job I guess
A mother letting her five year old daughter jump up and down while inside of a shopping cart. The child lost her balance and fell out and hit the ground head first. It made a loud sound like someone punching a watermelon.
No fucks were given in the grocery store that day.
In high school my friend could have friends over but then he had to do chores with friends over. I would end up helping my friend clean or take care of the lawn instead of playing video games. His parents could have just told him he couldn't have people over. Part of me thinks they did it for the free labor.

HAES is a joke for anyone that went to a non-liberal school. Hard to find these days though.

HAES is a joke for plenty of the rest of us, too.

My parents knew a couple who tied their autistic kid to a bed to keep him from "misbehaving". They avoided them after they found out.

That's probably illegal actually.

By the time he's old enough to realise the truth your work will be done.

I don't know but a parent could legally punish a child for nothing and the infinitely prolong the punishment.
