A few points, and I'm probably going to sound insensitive or ignorant

That's very interesting. A less detailed description was included with the articles, but yours was more informative and helpful.

If it's about hearing vs. deaf culture and which they want their child to participate in, the parents should have had this discussion when they had the child originally. That it comes so late in the child's development (1 and 5 were when the implantations occurred), tells me there's something else underlying this situation.

In the end, I mislike this whining to Youtube for validation from invisible people and that their dirty laundry ends up in the daily news. My aunt and uncle battled while they were divorcing--and afterward. The nonsense stayed within the family and was damaging enough to my cousins without bringing in the newspapers and outsiders' opinions.
