On FaceBook, I have a girl that I went to highschool with.  I wouldn't exactly call her a friend, more of someone I remember from class.  Yesterday this girl posted in her status that she saw a woman changing her child's diaper on a Church's front lawn, and said the child looked to be about 5, and then said that maybe it was time for this mother to teach her child to potty train.  Since my son was born 6 years ago, I have become more aware of challenges that parents face, and it angers me that people who should know better make comments like this.  How does she know that the child does not have a condition that prevents him from going to the bathroom went he wants to as opposed to when his body does. 

Sorry, I to vent!
