I never suggested that state oversight was a good thing, I was responding to all the outcries of why there isn't more oversight, on the other hand, they would have at least had an education and some skills to be able to move forward in life instead of needing to start at a 5th grade level and grow from there.  The amount of remedial learning that will be necessary is abundant.  It's likely that you will see further stories of them in the future, so at what point is socialization a factor here?
