To me it is wrong to speculate/shame/question the mother's actions. What happens inside families is hardly ever so simple as "did not see" or "denial".
I respect this and totally agree that we should not assume. I took my assumption from what a relative had said and that was the mother was not happy with the plan they had for her son. My partner is an educator and the word plan is not typically used in the education process unless there is something that would keep this child from learning in a traditional classroom setting.

There seems to be something that was not right, but you are correct that I should not have assumed his mother should have known anything.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
