If the news that a 6-year-old girl was diagnosed with schizophrenia took you by surprise, join the club. January Schofield, known to her family as Jani, is something of an anomaly. Pediatric cases of schizophrenia are exceedingly rare, which has fueled the national frenzy over her case this month. At least, that's part of why people are paying attention to a new memoir by January's dad, Michael Schofield. But beyond the rubberneckers and the looky-loos, I'd wager at least a portion of the parents drawn to January's story are hoping this marks a change. I know I am.Image may be NSFW.
