I really understand that they want to “do their own thing” and deplore government intervention...UP TO where to survive they have to steal a neighbors water, and threaten gun violence when confronting the OWNER. Then proudly FBIng “hey, I warned that c word neighbor “I’ll be back I know where you live.”
The kids are beautiful, they do look happy and healthy, but they DESERVE clean water, warm BEDS (not a family shelf) and a roof and walls that keep the elements OUT. The article mentions nails and broken glass (and feces) “around.” So can I ask that tetanus, dysentery, etc can also be removed from conditions.
And I have to laugh, they are banned by the local Mormon church? I used to take my late LDS mother in law to her Relief Society meetings and to her worship some dozen years ago. She passed away three years ago, and I STILL get mailings, phone calls, Missionaries. Maybe THATS what she should blog about...how to get “removed.” (And any LDS who read this, I kid, I kid!)
These photos don’t look anything like Grapes of Wrath/Great Depression kids in despair and grinding poverty, barely hanging on to life. It wouldn’t be surprising after all that has come out if they were indeed staying with friends or in a more physically secured location.
