[nabs-l] meeting results andwhattodotogetaworkingcomputerforcollege

[Beth]

Desiree, I think I'll email you off list about the whole 
situation.  it's complicated, and parents need to not do that to 
their blind kids to keep them from going out in to the world.  I 
had to break that hold and move to Denver, but it's like Harriett 
Ann Jacobs and slavery.  Slavery for her was a bad idea, and she 
left it because she was being degraded by her master.  Ok, ok, 
maybe this goes a bit far, but it took her flying, not literally 
but figuratively, to Philadelphia and New York and staying there 
in order to convince the master and mistress that she did not 
want slavery.  Whfta had to happen was that some nice family 
bought her freedom and advocated for the abolition of her 
slavery.  In a way, the complicated situation sort of parallels 
with a very degrading thing.  Before I go any further, I'll email 
a few of you guys off list.  Thanks.
Beth

Well, they could if they had power of attorney over her. I've 
heard of
people doing that to their blind kids just to keep them from 
going out
into the world. I certainly hope that's not the case.

Dave by
 the way.  I live in a residential facility and my family they 
can come
 out here all they want but if they tried to move me back to 
california
 I wouldn't go with them.  if they put their hands on you just 
call the
 police.  my family isn't all that supportive either so.
