Responding to a questionnaire, a group of parents of mentally retarded adolescents, reported several worries regarding the future of their child. The welfare of the child in the event of the death of the parent seemed to preoccupy the majority of them. Several among them were embarked in an effort to secure financially the future of the child while others felt that could do very little about it. Two thirds expected assistance from community services while just over one third admitted of having received some assistance. It is held by the authors that the community has the duty to assist such parents.
在回答一份调查问卷时，一群智障青少年的家长报告了他们对孩子未来的诸多担忧。父母去世后孩子的福利问题似乎困扰着他们中的大多数人。他们中的一些人开始努力为孩子的未来提供经济保障，而另一些人则觉得对此无能为力。三分之二的人期望得到社区服务的帮助，而略多于三分之一的人承认已经得到了一些帮助。作者认为社区有责任帮助这些家长。
