I don't recall if I've said it before here, but we have actually thought 
about moving.  And with my wife's medical conditions, actually, the high 
altitude, direct sunlight, and low humidity aggravate those conditions, 
so we are going to *have* to move sooner or later (and sooner would be 
better).

Yeah.  The situation was (and still is, for that matter) quite unusual.  
Apparently the "punishment" that was used was at the recommendation of a 
therapist.  The way it was administered, though, caused overhydration to 
an extent that it resulted in death.  I also understand there were/are 
some psychological factors with the mother as well, but I don't know all 
the details of that (it's not the sort of thing you ask about in casual 
conversation, and I don't know the husband well enough to engage in even 
casual conversation about much of anything, much less about the death of 
his adopted daughter).
