I would have offered for her to stay short term in my own house, but I suppose that was the point of the whole story...... to pull at the heartstrings. Well, it worked for me, seeing those kids looking miserable and really cold.
After reading how it has turned out, it makes me glad I was not involved, but I still feel sad for the kids (or any other child in a similar, or worse, situation).
I must be a softie (and probably rather naive) but probably would feel the same the next time such a story hits the air .
See, I may have offered the kids a place to stay - As for the drop kick mother...
I think, if you cannot take care of your children, you shouldn't either have them or they should be put under the care of the father. It's disgusting how much some people don't care for their children or anyone else.
We can all see where her priorities lie - French manicures every fortnight, which cost at least $30 every fortnight.
I had some poor tenant call and say they cannot afford their rent, because they HAD to buy a new car. I said, what happened to your last one? Oh, it was 6 years old!
Yep, no sympathy from me.
PS - I know some may say it's wrong to separate children from their mother, but the facts are if you can't look after them they should be in the care of someone who can, at the very least be able to put a roof over their heads. Plus, this is what happens in divorce and other such matters, one parent gets the children most of the time and the other parent gets them on weekends or something.. Not the ideal situation for a child, but sleeping in a car is not any better.
