| 69. your concern for the child overwhelms. |

What, exactly, *did* you mean by "mentally deficient"?
Then I saw the boy on TV and it struck me that he has some kind of problem.
What kind of problem might that be, do you think?
I think I became a tad perturbed with the parents for not preparing him better.
The question of preparation sort of depends on the kind of problem you've diagnosed. What do you suggest?
