“... Van Eck writes to Wylan every week, and Wylan doesn’t even open the letters.” “What do they say?” Inej leaned back carefully on the railing. “You’re assuming I read them.” “You didn’t?” “Of course I did.” Then she frowned, remembering. “They just said the same thing again and again: If you’re reading this, then you know how much I wish to have you home. Or I pray that you read these words and think of all you’ve left behind.”
Six of Crows- Chapter 17 (Leigh Bardugo)
And this, dear children, is the reason people think Pekka Rollins a better person than Wylan's father. The amount of heartless assholery necessary to write such words to a person you know cannot read it. Sure, "back in the day", there likely wasn't a concept of disability like that- you can beat a lot into somehow "dumb" child-, but still.

Pun absolutely intended.
