I’m NOT the parent in question. Just a FYI.
And by mental capacity, I mean like not just IQ, but also other mental conditions like depression, ADD/ADHD, etc…
Like the child(ren) has not done anything wrong like crime or misbehave, but simply the parent thinking that giving an inhertance to (in their view) a “mentally disabled” child is a waste and “would just end up in the hands of government”. And they justify it since they think that “the kid can just get disability income anyways”. (Location is USA, for reference)
I personally think this is just very ableist… what do you think? Is it okay for parents to do that?
Why don’t you just write “children” instead of 'child(ren)" since this really isn’t relevant if it’s an only child receiving everything.
Are you the child in question, perchance?
To be clear, it’s probably not ethical, but it’s also their choice who gets what.
Sorry, I know it can be annoying to read that, but its meant as a general question, rather than for a specific circumstance. The singular with plural modifiers in parentheses is what people typically use when the question/statement is not limited to meant only to apply if its that specific scenario with the specific singular/plural noun.
No they don’t typically do that despite your belief that they do. My point stands. If it were singular, the question would be moot.
