They were found to have replaced the child's precious baby formula with water, cereal and the occasional glob of baby food, sources told the Chicago Tribune.

Human waste. Flush ‘em. They’d better serve humanity as fertilizer.

Guess, they’ll save a lot more money than they could ever have dreamed.
I guess there wasn’t enough money after smokes and crack. Great parenting, you feral losers.
You can bet they had cigs in they pockets and some 40’s in the fridge.
When my granddaughter was a baby my son in law flew the coop for greener pastures. My daughter was breast feeding but the stress dried her up. I bought the formula to help her out...it was outrageously expensive, but I bought enough for the whole month and then some each month. I had a hard time finding enough of the brand we used on the shelves, store clerks and managers thought I was nuts to buy it all at once. I knew if worst came to worst the baby was eating! I cannot wrap my head around people like this!
Another “pet” baby gone.
To save money? Weren’t they on Food Stamps and WIC?
Let’s just throw more public money at the problem, that’ll fix it. /sarc
No. Where does it say so?
We have a 4 year old and 2 year old. Mom and I made the decision to buy in bulk, in advance, at least 6 month of formula. We actually bought more than that. We got hit HARD in the wallet, but we knew in a crisis our children would eat, and when they moved to solid foods, the churches, disaster recovery assistance teams, and the needy really appreciated our New-In-Box excess formula!
Yeah, but that shouldn’t have to be used for baby formula./sarc
The feral population is large. If you recall there was a house fire that killed two children and during the interview with the aunt she was quite cheery but upset that she couldn’t get in to the house to get her food stamps from her purse.
