	Jamaica Gleaner - Children of a lesser god? - Sunday \| April 20, 2003
		Jamaica Gleaner - Children of a lesser god?
		Not only are the lives of a large proportion of our children worse off than their parents, but many have not even been able to live out their normal lifespan because of the inability of parents, communities and the state to protect them from violent crime.
		As you would expect, the children suffer from very low levels of self-esteem and self-confidence, which in turn are manifested in a high degree of aggressive and anti-social behaviour.

		Children are so simple, so spontaneous, so honest, they can not be easily understood by the reasoning, reflecting, and survival-fighting complicated adults.
		Half-nude children sitting on dirt mounds laced with animal and human excreta, playing with broken plastic toys infested with germs bring out the feeling of empathy that soon and gets replaced with an awry feeling of helplessness when you see so many of them in the streets of Pakistan.
		In families of seven to ten children where both parents work labour jobs to bring enough bread home to feed, most of these children are left to Nature's mercy and to Nature's indiscretions.

	'Children of a Lesser God'
		Those aspects of "Children of a Lesser God" that made it more a tract than a play are gone; it becomes a story about two people whose failure to communicate is simply more dramatic, but really no different, than everyone else's.
		But in her first feature, Haines demonstrates a remarkable mastery of tone, of modulating "Children of a Lesser God" through its moments of humor and tension, passion and discovery.
		To appreciate "Children of a Lesser God," you only have to imagine how it could have patronized the deaf by celebrating their pluck, or become a heartwarming tale of little people who solve their big problems.

		Across the globe, in most societies the children with disabilities have traditionally been segregated for education and it is believed that only specialists would be able to impart education to them.
