BARRE – Officials at Vermont District Court were stumped Friday as they struggled to deal with a developmentally disabled man who is deaf who was brought to the court to be charged with simple assault.

It's more interesting to think about what the court should do with a mental 7 year old, if he is that.  One mistake and this guy will be in some state system costing the taxpayers at least $100k a year.

There's that. Perhaps the answer is for a complete evaluation and then if the family is able to cope, assist them. Otherwise there are probably minimum security mental health places where he could be looked after.

There are no easy answers.

Edit: Then there is the matter of the only language skill he has.
