**Unethical treatment of the disabled and their loving families is not simply archaic, but also unconstitutional! While society has become generally more accepting of integration of individuals with disability, legislation to protect very basic human rights has failed to keep pace!
Please, I urge the writer of the article to take notice of "Samantha's Law", which has arisen out of the calamity that was the life of a young child named Samantha Martin born with a rare chromosome disorder which resulted in significant developmental delay. Where no legislation presently exists, the Courts may borrow from other locales which have established protocol.

Samantha's Law is a Canadian child protection law. Velvet Martin's persistence resulted in the establishment of "Samantha's Law." The Amendment to the Alberta Family Support for Children with Disabilities Act, became effective retroactive to December 2006. Section 2-3, Manual Amendments: Policy and Procedures in Family Centred Supports and Services: "The Family Support for Children with Disabilities Program to have separate legislation from that of child protection services."
