Its time that everyone stops bashing Linda her and Henry's dad tought him right from wrong and its NOT Henry's fault that this happened and if you want to know the truth about her kids they were taken by the state and they never came to see her so everyone can quit talking crap about Linda and Henry we loved her thank you very much and if her kids loved her then they should have been there in her life more we never kept them from Linda

I am the mom of a special needs child and, I truley believe that they dont know their own strength at times. when you try to explain it they realy dont understand it so he probably dont even realize what he has done or even that she is gone so get the boy the help that he has needed the hole time so that no one else gets hurt.It's a pretty logical solution if you use common sense

This is a good example of a child who should have been institutionalized at or near birth. The family is NOT equipped to handle a child who is profoundly retarded and can never reach the cognitive function of a toddler.
As a society, we are kidding ourselves when we believe that teachers and parents can remedy a child like Cozak. Sad, but hard truths.

HELP WAS ALWAYS THERE wrote on Mar 21, 2009 5:19 PM:
ESD has helped the entire time. Special needs students can go to school until age 21. PROVIDED THE PARENTS TAKE THEM, or at least get them to the bus. Quit blaming the state, county, etc. What happened was unfortunate. What people tend to forget, is no matter the mental disability, the body still grows and matures. Many children with problems have no self control when they get angry or hurt. I am sure that he probably did not understand. That will not bring Ms. Foley back.

WHERE IS THE HELP???? Seriously? There is no room for him in the state hospital to get help, School keeps dropping teachers and specialists, how can children like this get the help they need? Billions spent in other countries on a war NOT needed. But yet our country suffers, our CHILDREN suffer, when will it be enough????

I think that this state or county which ever is to blame, should stand up and take action on our disabled people. Yes this was a tragety that accured, but where was some help for the family and the child caught up in a world he does not know. My condolences to the family.
