~Victims~

Thieves are now adding those with developmental disabilities to their targeted audience. The theft usually comes in the form of theft of the individual's bank account. It is usually someone the individual knows such as a family member. How completely lame is it of these thieves to be actually doing this to people? What makes it worse is the notion that these people can not defend themselves and are incapable of leading completely normal lives so trust these people to assist them in the things they can not do themselves. Debbie Mitchell, of the agency Toward Independence, has remarked,  "They're horrible people. I don't know how they sleep at night." I completely agree with her. This infuriates me. How dare these people take advantage of these people in this situation? This reminds  me of the time when I asked a friend to go to a convenience store for me and she did not return with the correct change. She went on to deny it when I confronted her when she knew that she had stole from me. This is so wrong. I hope these thieves can live with the punishment they get.
