The child looks a little on the tan side. Father must be exempt from child support.

Jada Riley thought she had beaten homelessness.
The 26-year-old New Orleans resident was finally making a steady income cleaning houses during the pandemic to afford a $700-a-month, one-bedroom apartment. But she lost nearly all her clients after Hurricane Ida hit last year. Then she was fired from a grocery store job in February after taking time off to help a relative.
Two months behind on rent, she made the difficult decision last month to leave her apartment rather than risk an eviction judgment on her record. Now, she's living in her car with her 6-year-old son, sometimes spending nights at the apartments of friends or her son's father.
“I've slept outside for a whole year before. It's very depressing, I'm not going to lie,” said Riley, who often doesn't have enough money to buy gas or afford food every day.
“I don't want to have my son experience any struggles that I went through.”
Eviction filings nationwide have steadily risen in recent months and are approaching or exceeding pre-pandemic levels in many cities and states. That's in stark contrast to the pandemic, when state and federal moratoriums on evictions, combined with $46.5 billion in federal Emergency Rental Assistance, kept millions of families housed.

Good question, maybe he is totally irresponsible and does not really care.
You know what exacerbates rental costs? Flooding the country with illegals.
Gee...it’s almost like someone wants to create a crisis. Imagine that?
No Lib article is complete without a sob story — typically involving a woman, minority or child.
I feel pretty good about the outcome. I have been before this judge before and was successful. We followed the law on what we needed to do and she agreed with us. I don’t think this current guy has a leg to stand on.
Here it comes; the “violence” of violins!
Also not paying rent for a year and a half.....Landlords are scared it will happen again so make the money now......

One of the guys in my circle manages 3 buildings in Hollywood. In 2020, it’s almost impossible to kick them out, and only late last year November, that the courts started opening up that they could do it. Not all of them are lying deadbeats, and most of them kept their word in paying whatever they can.
What’s really insane is that a “normal” 1 bedroom unit goes $2300, and there are lots of takers.
It’s the way things need to be. Sorry about evictions and payments, but it’s grand theft to deprive a landowner of the proceeds from his property.
I think there is a disconnect here.
"Hey, cuz, I need some help."
"Okay, let me just quit my job and I'll be right over."
"Thanks for helping. I'm back on my feet now."
"Cool, but now I lost my job. Can you..."
"New phone. Who dis?"
As a landlord, I can assure you that 99.9% of the time when a tenant is evicted that housing unit does not disappear from the nation’s housing stock. It is either re-rented to another tenant or sold to an owner-occupant. In either case, it is occupied by someone who previously did not have a decent place to live.
What evictions do is remove unsuitable tenants from housing units and replace them with more suitable ones.
Did you just think of that, or did you borrow it?
Twas all me. :)
Very good.
> “Where is the father in all of this?”
What about fathers who:
1. Lost their businesses?
2. Lost their jobs?
3. Spent all their savings to survive?
4. Became sick from untested vaccines?
Who is responsible for the above?
We see so many commenting how ordinary Americans are to blame for reckless, ill-thought out policies by government offices inhabited by people that shouldn’t be there to begin with.
Fauci will receive $350,000 per year from a tax-funded retirement. But let’s not blame him, let’s blame the working stiffs who suffered from Fauci’s vast knowledge and divine-like wisdom. Let’s kick ordinary Americans to the curb because they’re small and weak, and can’t fight back at us.
MSM and Political Left - feasting once again on the social services ignorance of most American voters.
Homeless women and children are recognized as uniquely vulnerable individuals by the federal government and by almost every state.
Even if shelters are 100% full, most states or the feds will immediately pay for a motel or hotel room.
The big exemption would be a woman who is violent, or mentally ill, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or is a habitual criminal - in which case, the 6 year old child would be removed from her custody.
Thank goodness a standard lease requires your tenant to pay your legal fees - LOL!
If he’s totally irresponsible and doesn’t really care, then why is HE the one with the apartment where the other two occasionally stay?
Good points. The problem is the writer doesn’t inform us of facts surrounding her predicament.
The writer should have asked her why she doesn’t seek assistance from social services
None of those factors were mentioned in the article. You might want to learn the whole story before passing judgment.
