This is like piling on someone who is mentally challenged for doing something inappropriate that they didn't even understand.
My grandfather used to have a summer cottage up in Mukwonago that we would all go to. The neighbors had a son with Down's syndrome who was a couple years older than I was at an age where those gaps seem huge, but nonetheless my mom (who used to teach special ed) encouraged me to make friends with him. So I did, and we played, and our respective parents were happy. We sold the house after my grandpa died and obviously this wasn't the kind of friendship where you really promise to keep in touch. So about however many years later, I'm up in the middle of the night and wonder to myself "what ever happened to so and so?", so I google him, and apparently he's managed to have a pretty good life. But also, he managed to get a Twitter account where all he did was talk dirty to porn starlets. Growin' up.
