You’re right: this is indeed a form of child abuse. I just wish I could be a fly on the wall when this boy gets to be about 14 and turns to them and says: “You idiots! How could you do this to me since birth because of your own craziness?”
Unfortunately, there’s also a decent chance that the kid will be so distorted emotionally and psychologically by then that reality will be as much of a mystery to him as it is to his stupid mother. Just think about the case reported recently of the 11-year-old raised by two lesbians who is undergoing a “sex-change.”
I’ve never been one to advocate intrusion into the family, but these people shouldn’t be allowed to have children.
