A Child Is Waiting (1963)

I found this movie very, very sad. It tells the story of a boy who is institutionalized because he is slower. What I found the saddest of all is that, as bad as this movie showed those institutions to be, this was ( as we all learned later, "Suffer The Little Children -Pennhurst 1968) an idealized version..😔

Wow that's heartbreaking. It's amazing to me how far we've become as a society. C-sections were conducted with chainsaws and many women were institutionalized for simply having a menstrual cycle they saw it as a delirium. I think about things like this all the time. Remember when people were human combusting, burning from the inside out, and then all of a sudden it just stopped , they were drinking radium and mercury and other radioactive elements which were flamable and they were smoking cigarettes, people's jaws were falling off. That was us! Making those dumb decisions throughout history, Thank God for those who came before us! We learned from their mistakes.
