<I can think of three or four alternate possibilities to your bad mother hypothesis, and I bet you could too.

I can't think of any right off hand. What did you come up with? And I probably wouldn't use the term "bad mother" in this context.

If there were obvious other answers, besides a tiny minority of eligible people simply not bothering to do what is necessary to get care, why would they be that hard to discover?
