Find one example of an exception and get back to me. Fact is, we have extensive public and private programs in this country to make sure families with children can afford food. I’m sure there are a handful of parents who are so mentally ill (and not also addicted to drugs/alcohol/gambling), that they just don’t apply for the available help. And there are a handful of religious nuts or other types of control freaks who starve their children as a form of “discipline”. But nearly all the hungry children have parents who are either already getting the help, but diverting the money and food stamps to their own purposes, (mainly alcohol/drugs) or who are not eligible because they have income above the cut-off level (income they are choosing to spend on alcohol/drugs/gambling while their children go hungry). Bottom line is that virtually all child hunger in this country is directly related to criminal behavior on the part of the hungry children’s parents.
Again, all conjecture. Show me statistics from a source to back up this insane assumtion.
