I am a mother to a five-year-old son with Down syndrome. It is my responsibility, as his parent, to advocate for him, to make this world a safe place for him (and all of my children) to live in. With hate messages being sent out for the world to see,it makes it acceptable for others to make fun of my son, to belittle him, to consider him as less of a person because of his disability. It is time to take action and put an end ONCE AND FOR ALL to the use of the word \"retard\" in films, and on television, when used as an insult. My son deserves better.
