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.
I’ve seen worse homes, too. Yes, they look healthy enough. Could be the older ones put the little one up to selling the bear but doubt we’ll ever hear the whole story.
All the kids are old enough to fix something to eat. One is nearly as tall as the mother. From the pictures, there are beans, rice and boxed items. There’s flour, veg oil and a skillet for a batch of tortillas with those beans. They’re also old enough to clean up the place and know not to put t-shirts on coffee makers. Yes, the mother and father should answer to that health disaster of a fridge but the kids surely aren’t so dumb as not to figure that out how to use that container of Comet and vinegar on their own even if their parents don’t teach them.
