Being poor is not a crime, but being lazy should be. If the parents are only poor, then the children should not be taken away. And where is the church in this situation? Helping poor people in Africa?
My family met the government guidelines for poverty as my Dad was in the military(ironic, isn't it). However, I never felt poor, never lacked for food, clothing, shelter(no we did not live on base)or guidance and a strong foundation in a work ethic and solid moral principles. Not graduating from high school was never an option.

How would you discern between a lazy, poor person, and a not lazy poor person?
