Why couldn't the family at least take the little girls for a little while?<br /><br />No one is innocent here.KnittingReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08808217677224015173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14147662.post-16958248938641916132007-02-07T09:36:00.000-05:002007-02-07T09:36:00.000-05:00I cried when I heard that story...working at a com...I cried when I heard that story...working at a community mental health we sometimes are able to get people help before they get to that point. I was also upset that the news made a bigger deal out of the woman's substance abuse than of any potential mental illness she must have. I can't tell you how many of our clients use drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with the symptoms of their illness (e.g. hearing voices) ...ESPECIALLY when they have no natural supports (family, friends, etc.) to get them the help they need!!!! I'm not absolving this woman completely, but I agree her family needs to share the burden of guilt. I'm a mandated reporter, I'm required by LAW to report any suspected abuse...it's a damn shame that not everyone in this country is one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14147662.post-81418261783742383952007-02-06T21:54:00.000-05:002007-02-06T21:54:00.000-05:00I hear ya!

His biological parents had NINE kids and lost them all to the state. What do you think they are doing right now? She's pregnant with their tenth. I'm beginning to be more of a proponent of court ordered sterilization for these stupid stupid people that waste their lives, destroy their children and tax the system.Larjmarjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944577259055976703noreply@blogger.com
