It's just, no matter that he's older, he still might think and react like a child. I don't think they comprehend like a quote, normal, unquote, person. I think they are very "childlike".

Like I said, the ones I've met and known over the years have all been very loving and gentle. They usually want to give you a hug even if you're a stranger.

the little boy walked in joyfully cause he was gonna kid his kids meal, the man with down syndrome was standing a good distance away on the phone, heard him come in and ran over and kicked him....If the little boy touched him, he must have really long, invisible arms

Okay, I went back and watched it AGAIN (yes, Denise, I did watch it before commenting--obviously I didn't see it correctly. But to be fair, everything did happen pretty fast.

)

But, Goat, may be onto something. Maybe the big kid did think the little boy was cutting. Like I said, I don't think they (D.S) think/comprehend the same way we would expect "normal" folk to.

And I would hope if the dad did realize the person who kicked his kid had down syndrome that he wouldn't have hit him (as much as he would want to).

Come on guys. Did y'all notice that when the man went to hit the kid, he didn't even put his arms/hands up to protect himself.

Something tells me he may learn his lesson. Or maybe he won't.

You can operate a cell phone? You should be able to know that kicking a 4 year old in the groin isn't kosher.
