Maybe note that this article is from 2012?

Since then, Bodhi (the brother) has been diagnosed autistic and they suspect he is also a paranoid schizophrenic, but he just doesn't verbalize like Jani does. Michael (the dad) had an affair and the parents are now divorced.

It is a truly tragic story. There is a well-written post from Michael which I can't seem to find where he gives advice to other parents raising children with mental problems.

(I found the quote, but not the whole piece)

> All I can tell you now is you have to decide what is more important to you In this life, with mentally ill children, something is going to have to go. You have decide what that is. It our case, it was our marriage. May Jani and Bodhi forgive me. I couldn’t do it all.

I stumbled across a post ending in your quote. Looks like somebody started a foundation which turned up on a search of Michael Schofield's name; you might be thinking of this post: http://janifoundation.org/blog/
This is indeed where the quote of the parent parent comment can be found.
I remember reading this article a few years ago. I never thought the story could get worse. Tragic.
Stuff are never that bad they can't get any worse.
Polish proverb: "I thought life was as hard and as bad as it could ever get, then I heard knocking from below".
I saw a documentary on her (can't remember which), and the family rented two apartments in a complex, because she was violent with her younger brother.
That's in the article
