This makes me so sad :(

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5050356

For those who don't want to click, a mom was arrested after leaving her two small children in the car while she went to an interview. She is homeless and had no one to watch her kids.

Thoughts? Opinions? Should she have been arrested? Should they drop the charges?

    There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it.  ~Irena Chalmers

  • It was purposeful. Not an accident. It's sad that she felt that was her only option but she does need to face consequences. It's not okay.

  • My spidey senses are telling me that it's @mystererae. She did mention that she had the biggest dick in fffc ;) And that she feels super mysterious....... 
    definitely either her or the always suspicious @maryannespier :-?

  • Wait... Are you @mystererae‌? In one of the threads recently she said something about having the biggest dick. Hmmm...

  • I think it's sad. I'm sure she cares about her children and was trying to get a job so she could provide better for them. It sounds like she was desperate and made a bad decision. I wish she had contacted a shelter to see if they had resources to help her in this situation.
  • Sad, but still illegal. She made a poor choice & got busted. She's really lucky that the kids didn't overheat & die.

  • Also, why the AE? Usually this is not that controversial...

    This is sad. However, if she is homeless and in a shelter, then most reputable nonprofits with women/family shelters offer childcare. So, either she wasnt in a shelter, which is no good if she is homeless with kids or the shelter is a piss poor one. Plus, she exercises poor judgement in putting her kids in danger.

  • Verry sad.

    Who did she think was going to watch her kids if she did get the job though?

    I know in FL there is a voucher program for child care assistance. You have to employed and below a certain income level.

  • This is so sad :(. Side question: can you keep your kids if you are homeless? Wouldn't they go into foster care?

    @Lelo2006‌ most foster care systems want to keep the family unit intact, so they won't take the kids unless the kids are at risk. If the homeless parent is in a shelter and meeting the basic needs for the kids, the foster system would see no reason to break up the family unit. The growing population of children in homeless shelters is why most shelters have responded by providing childcare for certain reasons, including jobs and interviews.

    The amount of homeless children is really sad, and I can't even image what it would be like if I couldn't provide shelter for B.
