Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. A person with cerebral palsy can understand her responsibility depending on her IQ. You have not stated the IQ of this patient but I suppose that it is low. The only possibility is slow and repeated efforts to make her understand and if she still doesn't then the child should not be under her custody and should be given foster parents. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
