-- new hope for deaf mother that had baby taken away
Last year a deaf mother had her newly born baby taken
away by the Department of Human Services. The
Floyd County District Court in Iowa agreed with the
Department of Human Services. The mother sued,
and the Iowa Court of Appeals reversed the decision
and had the case sent back to the district court.
Why? She had no interpreter and the social worker
communicated with her in writing. What started
the whole thing? The mother was depressed upon
birth and the department decided she was unfit.
-- praising a comic book publisher
DC Comics is a well known publisher among
people that read comics. It was just praised
for introducing new types of characters.
One such character was deaf Pied Piper. He
was portrayed as the first openly gay DC
villain. But as the plot evolved, he
was implanted and he "became" hearing,
no longer deaf! And also retiring
from a career of crime!
