If you don't that may be a good thing, but if you do, are you saying that one of them never got hurt because you weren't "paying close enough attention"? did any of them ever scrape a knee? Did one ever fall from the front porch steps? Did they ever aquire a bruise? How dare you. This family lost a baby. An innocent child. And you want to sit there and blame the parents and as.sume they were drinking. Have a heart.

I food stamps and a check each month. But i am far from lazy. I work but my job doess not pay enough. However, i am six months away from getting my degree in Applied Sciences. I have a 3.87 GPA and i work hard for what i am able to do. I have three children, by the same man, which whom i have been with for seven years. People can be so wrong when basing their judgements on a stereotype. I am not the only exception.

A person can only draw government benefits for 60 months in a lifetime. 5 years. I don't doubt that people abuse the system but there are people out there who respect it and appreciate it.

I recieve food stamps and a government check each month. For some reason, it is thought that people like me are lazy and use drugs. However, i have job. It doesn't pay well, but i do work. I am also a full time college student who is six months away from graduating with my As.sociates in Applied science. I have a 3.87 GPA, and i work very hard everyday. I understand that my benefits come from the tax payers money, but when i have a good paying job, i will be more than happy to help others like me. I find it incredibly unfair that it is assumed that a person on welfare is unwilling to work. I doubt that i am the only acception. I do not agree with what this woman did, however, it is just as low and wrong to place a label on her. she is a person, and unless anyone knows her personally, is childish to judge.

I know the truth hurts but...

As many other, i have never gotten the flu shot, and never had the flu. This does not mean that i have the same logc in not getting the H1N1 vaccine. The fact that it is expermental is a factor for me. However, upon doing some research, more people have died from getting the H1N1 vaccine, than am comfortable with. There was a navy shpo that got vaccinated. There were approximately 747 crew members. 11 members had no reactions or symptoms of the vaccine, 2 died upon recieving the vaccine, while the remaining crew members became so ill that they had to fly in additional medical help and resources, they quarantined the ship and are advising other ships to turn away. Is this something that you would want to give your children?

If more people cared this wouldn't happen, as much anyways.

But another reason they are and remain to be the way they are is becasue of people who push them aside and label them as "a trashy family" or a "bad mother". hanging someone out to dry or throwing them aside encourages the same behavior. maybe if people payed more attention to the person and not what they do there wouldn't be children out there doing what they do. And parents can't control everything that their kids do. just becasue a parent isn't right there all the time does not mean that they don't deserve to be called a mother or a father. What the kids did was wrong, and yes they should have known better but the mother didn't make her son do that. just because he was a minor doesn't make her fully responsible. That kid had a concience. Parents make mistakes all the time and anyone who has one knows that. i'm not saying that he shouldn't be punished, what he did was wrong but he doesn't need to be talked down to or looked down upon, he needs guidance, and he isn't going to get it from people like you.
