Continuity mistake: In the same scene as above, the kid's dad comes out of his lab with a bunch of wires all over him, and a mask on. When a camera shows an outside view and you can see the parents' shadows on the curtain, you can see his dad has no wires on him, and no mask.
Continuity mistake: When the mother (Mrs. Brody) brings home Lou, and her back is to her son, the juice bag is on his right side (the left side of the table - looking at it). When she turns around to show him the puppy, the juice bag is on the far end of the table. (00:11:20)
Answer: Butch was abandoned. It's never stated but it's implied.

"Okay, well, here's lesson number two: we help them. We work for them. We tolerate that stupid boochy-boochy baby talk. And for WHAT? So that when they go off to college, they can dump you off with some old lady who can't throw a ball without so much as breaking her HIP!" Pretty sure this counts as being abandoned.
As I said, it's never stated outright but it is implied.
