She's beautiful!

Some parents are just lazy and don't like talking to their kids.

Yeah she is. I didn't even notice there was anything "different" about her when I first saw the picture. I was too busy noticing how cute she is.

I didn't notice the arm until it was mentioned on CNN that she was disabled. I was like, "And?"

I was looking to see what's wrong with the guy until I read the article.

In one chat room, a father lamented that Burnell being on the show forced him to have conversations with his child about disabilities.

This would be like saying he was forced to have a conversation with his child about different races. Or why someone has green eyes or blue eyes. WHY IS THIS A BIG DEAL?!

People are so ignorant when it comes to disabilities. Makes me sick.

Children shouldn't learn about disabilities till they become disabled.

Parents are meant to teach children about today's word. Sadly, parents are critising a woman who has disablities, scaring their children.

I think parents are ignorant who have made complaints.

Jesus, people really don't like talking to their kids about anything, do they?

Of course not. That's why they let the tv do the babysitting. *eyeroll*
