It's getting hard out there...woman abandons [View All]

[ikojo]

her two kids at a local grocery store...according to one TV news station the oldest of the kids is 13. I cannot imagine what this mom was facing that caused her to abandon her kids. Whenever I hear stuff like this I am even more amazed that my mom survived raising six kids alone with little regular child support and on low wages.

I hope they are able to find this woman and give her the psychological and financial assistance she so desparately needs. Unfortunately she will probably be found and punished rather than helped.
