Acknowledging that I only know little bits and pieces of information, and what I do know is being fed to me by a media that is not always known for accuracy, I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb here by saying that providing a home of a lean-to made out of straw bales may not amount to doing everything that should be done to raise a kid.
