“The uncle claimed that he would drop off food somewhat regularly, but when the officers were there, there was only some ramen in the cabinets.”
So? They’re not hoarders.
They did eat and well.
The prosecution premise is a bunch of bunk.
When my Mom and Dad divorced, she went to work, sometimes with two jobs at a time.
I wasn’t a teenager and had to manage getting my brothers and sisters up for school sometimes and others getting them fed.
We knew what to do, had plenty of food, the school was right behind our house, had plenty of clothes, washed our own clothes which was our responsibility, bathed and scrubbed teeth.
I don’t remember how hard it was because, having not lived with my mommy since I was 15 and in college, I’ve pretty much had to do everything for 35 years on my own and wouldn’t have been able to without Mom and Dad teaching me to be independent, self determined and self regulating.
Silly rabbit! Prosecution Is For Peasants!
