re: a mother who routinely has homeless men come into her home in some sort of act of charity)))

Is this indeed the assertion? Is it now bad mother-hood to hire handymen, plumbers, electricians, landscapers....? The incident has indeed made me think twice about who I hire, and another reason to do things myself, but we are not allowed police or mental health dossiers on the past lives of every kind of household help.

Would you let a man who looks like this "Emmanuel" come into your house or near your children? Do you need any other information to know that he is a weirdo who could easily do your children harm?

This guy was no handyman.

He was a bum. He was begging on the street when the Mom picked him up and brought him back to the house.

And yes, it was a very poor choice on the mothers part.
