I don't click on WaPo links.

Just tell me if Travis ever gets around to listing all the government programs the parents are on.

Parents that fail to care for their children can be charged with child neglect and endangerment.

As far as I am concerned, those parents should be locked up for life.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to have kids, period.

This has been addressed in several duplicate threads over the past few days.

The mother defends herself, says her place “isn’t that bad (sic)” and so on.

Kids look healthy. Father is in the picture. Mother claims that boy didn’t even eat the whole subway sandwich because he just had lunch before going to the store.

House is a dump, but I’ve seen worse.

Only once have I ever had the opportunity to meet the needs of someone who really needed it, a destitute woman in a back block of Nashville. My children and I bought her a meal, and sat and talked with here for about 30 minutes.

I think the conversation meant more to her then the food.

I weep when I see these stories because I beg God daily for chances to help those who need the help. I seldom get to see the real need in black and white like that officer did.

Oh dear God! I can’t stand this! I can’t bear for any creature to be hungry. I feed the birds, I put out carrots for the rabbits and corn for the squirrels! How can people let their child starve? Hell would be too comfortable for these parents!

I’ve always wondered if the Clinton Foundation(s) do anything IN THIS COUNTRY and yes, the CHMI (Clinton Health Matters Initiative) supposedly does.. Hillary needs to know that she missed seeing that this family was well taken care of. I wonder where the families are that the foundation HAS helped in this country! Guess that info won’t be forthcoming any time soon.

I wonder why the 17 year old didn’t contact relatives for help? And I wonder if the relatives who take the kids knew how they were living?

Just curious. Did he not like what she made and not eat voluntarily? Was it a case of a mother high or otherwise impaired and no food in the house? Did the child ASK his mom to be fed?

I’m asking here because I don’t want to give the ComPost any clicks.

Note the WaPo was only seven lines into this piece before going out of its way to slam a church.

If this were a Black family, it would all be my fault.
