SF is a very sick place. By definition you are not capable of taking care of a child if you can't put a roof over your head. There are long lists of parents who would love to adopt this baby but the sick SF bureaucrats refuse to intervene.

[Salvation]

Give the mother a break. Did you read the whole story?

[luvbach1]

I have Social Security and two pensions and all of it goes to living expenses. Maybe I should set aside 75% of it and panhandle for the rest. But I don’t have a heart-tugging prop like a newborn baby to increase my take at begging.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

If panhandling is your trade, there’s probably no better way to do it than with a baby in your arms.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Even if someone else adopted it, it would still have her genetic tendencies.

[GraceG]

At some point the left will say that chopping off you child arm so you can beg for money more effectively is a “cultural practice” and that the government should pay for it.

[fr_freak]

Several people have called 911...

You got to love the modern city/leftist mentality:

"Hey, I'm really concerned about that homeless baby and her mother. I'd better call 911."

Or, you could actually help the homeless baby and her mother out, you weak-kneed lefty queers. Proves, once again, that lefties are only charitable with other people's money (and time, and effort).

[Principled]

Commonplace in 3rd world tourist destinations...Vietnam, Bali, Etc. Moms bring their kids out at night, barefoot asking for money at the ice cream stands.

SF= 3rd world hell hole tourist destination.

Capitalism is the greatest economic system ever devised to provide the most benefits for the most people. Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of misery in our country. If you work hard you deserve the fruits of your labor, but I have to say there is something wrong with such great wealth in the hands of so few. No, I’m not complaining about the 1%, but maybe some tweaking needs to be done when you have people like this in the same country with someone controlling 80 billion in assets.

>Doudney and her baby have a private room at Hamilton Family Shelter, where they sleep every night and have access to three meals a day and parenting classes. The room is hers for three to six months, and she’s working with a case manager to figure out what comes next. Doudney receives $900 a month in Social Security benefits

Yep. We that work for a living pay for others to play.

Disgusting.

[maine-iac7]

May you - or yours - never find yourself down and out - lucky you.

Uncharitable you.

More people just think to take the child from her - to help the child.

How about someone step up and help them BOTH - sounds she’s doing all she can at the moment...She needs a place to live and a job that would cover living expenses AND the VERY BIG expense of child care. This country should hang it’s head and not dare look Jesus in the eye. (See my tagline)

And scoliosis HURTS - and treatment is no fun.

SHAME on the judgers - who are breaking a Commandment.

look at her twitter pic:

piercings, tattoos and blue hair

[Chickensoup]

she has a roof. she lives in a specialized shelter. instead of working like most working class moms who need to pay bills she is begging.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Of course she can afford a iPhone in her hand

[GailA]

WIC would provide formula and baby food even with her SS, diapers are your responsibility, buy the store brand, same goes for wipes. Use coupons. Coupons.com has a phone app. https://www.coupons.com/coupons/ always has diaper/wipes coupons. Most grocery or Walmart’s take them.

Ask for diapers instead of money.

[sickoflibs]

little Nedahlia ?

Oh brother

[fatima]

If she was closer we could help her.

"By definition you are not capable of taking care of a child if you can't put a roof over your head.".

you know this, and I know this, but common sense is no longer common.

[Mr.Unique]

Doudney receives $900 a month in Social Security benefits, and Hamilton sets aside 75 percent of that to save for her future. Doudney said she needs more than the remaining $225 a month to afford diapers, formula, clothes and other necessities — and that she must panhandle every day to get it.  

 

I don't see a line for "IPhone 7 with data plan" in her budget.
