I couldn’t agree more! Minus the spray-painted walls and outdoor potties, I’ve seen my own home look more squalid, and I only have three kids. The kids look healthy. I don’t in any way condone what this woman has done, but I think this is a case of someone making a quick buck selling pix to TMZ.
The biggest issue to me is she spent over $500 on her hair while getting 2K in food stamps. Know it’s a pain for her to go out and get a $12 hair cut, but she should be able to spend a little less.
Get a grip.
This is a nice house.
It is messy and the chair blocking the door is something that needs to be checked to see if there is a kid behind it.
The houses that are full of pet poop, needles on the floor and drugs, roaches in the fridge are the ones that kids get pulled out of, or if the kids are injured.
Here, the kids are protected from bad guys, there is food, obviously, plenty of toys. If the plumbing isn’t working, that needs to be worked on, but what exactly? The toilet is stopped up?
I wouldn’t live this messy, but I have seen plenty of grafitti on walls, our youth group let the kids do it in their youth room. I wouldn’t allow it in my house, but plenty of parents let their kids do bizarre things in the house, grafitti isn’t child abuse. “Hi” in spray paint is child abuse?
Yeah, this silly woman should have thought about emulatin Angelina Jolie and realized that it is one thing to be a multimillionaire and have a dozen kids and another to have no visible means of support and have a dozen kids, but these kids are doing ok. Don’t try to tell me they would be better off in California’s foster child system, they wouldn’t. It doesn’t look like a picnic, and I wouldn’t have my kids there, but it does pass the smell test.
Fix the potty, if that is the issue, sheesh makes it sound like the water’s been turned off or something.
