/^t/Keeping a retarded child at home mean that there is considerably less time for other children. Although Down's children, if properly controled, may shown some mental development, the process is painfully slow. Unfortunately they never reach an adolescent's mental age. This is why they require more time and concentration. This is why their parents may neglect other children who in sharing their lives with a retarded sibiling and taking part in every-day care problems, may decide never to have their own offspring. Observing and residing with a mentally challenged child may have negative psychological effects on healthy children who whilst at play usually condescend to their ill brother or sister. That is why retarded children should be put into an institution among other retarded people.
