While you have some valid points, I can just see the worst of this situation. I also can't help but predict that your last sentence becoming the norm.

I knew a boy who was mentally challenged and couldn't walk....His parents took care of him and worked with him non the less....He is my age and he can walk, can talk, manages money to a degree and etc......It took time but he managed to learn and develop.

I'm not saying that this girl can do the same, but how will one ever know unless you try.

The particular disorder this child has is permanent and the chances of her mind progressing are nil. Ashley is a nine year old girl with a three month old brain. She deserves the best care her parents can provide because she'll remain at three months for the rest of her life. If there was any hope that she would progress, I'd definitely rethink my position, but static encephalopathy is a lot more than "mentally challenged".
