conulyThe same week Autism Speaks produced their god-awful "Autism Every Day" video two children were murdered by their parents, and for the life of me I can't remember either of their names.
There was the little girl whose mother ultimately went to prison after smothering her, and there was the teenage boy whose parents did not go to prison even though they locked him in his room and set the house on fire, and god damn it I don't remember their names. And then afterwards AS said some absolutely unforgiveable garbage, worse than what they'd already said in the video, because of course they did.
And now it's bugging me that I can't remember those names. I keep thinking and thinking, and I keep coming up with "Madeleine McCann", and of course I know she's somebody else. I even know who she is, naturally, so why I'm confusing her for them I just don't understand.
