A small-town Kansas police officer is getting some big props this week for his kind response to a mother-and-daughter Wal-Mart shoplifting team. Though he had no choice but to issue a citation for the attempted theft of $300 worth of items, Roeland Park police officer Mark Engravalle paid, out of his own pocket, for the necessities — diapers, wipes, shoes, and clothes — that the mom of six and her oldest daughter, 15, had attempted to steal.
If it worked.. great..but I also feel convoluted
I would want to address the longer issues as much as a patrol officer could. So I would also so an immediate referral to social services for an intensive review of her case file if she has one
We as a country have to decide... is procreation without ability to fully support ones off spring forever supportable by others....no.. it isnt.. then responsible decisions should be made through birth control ..free sterilization.. change of thinking to lighten the load upon the world.
I gave a homeless man who walked around for years without shoes a pair of nice running shoes... he was in the booking cage the next day arrested for burglary... he could never run away before... cured me

Story references the accidental drowning of Robinson's husband. The link takes us to the story of a 22 year old man. How many, if any of the 6 kids were his? The children, exclusive of the twins, all have different last names. Where are the other fathers?
Mom and 6 kids would recieve top priority from a Social Services agency for benefits, yet here they are living in a car and shoeless.
Why were 5/6 kids shoeless? Where are the hand me downs?
All look well fed from a caloric standpoint.
Reports say mom said she used her last dime for a security deposit on an apartment. But she lost it in a dispute with the landlord.
Regardless, the funds are pouring in to help mom and her 6 girls.

It seems as if the people who make poor life choices that are the ones having the most kids, note that the toddler daughter has her ears pierced, gotta have priorities.

That seems to be the case with some of the people I've met over the years as well. Also, I've noticed that these same people are smokers. With cigarettes costing $5+/pack, but they are poor and their kids don't have the things they need, most of what they do have comes from forms of welfare. I know a mother of 3 who has had many many different jobs and she loses those jobs because she just doesn't go to work, so she gets fired after not showing up. She's perfectly content letting the system and other family members supply for her and her kids.
Where is the man or men who fathered those children? Why isn't/aren't he/they being held accountable for part of their children's welfare? You can't just have kids and walk away leaving the woman with everything. She may have 6 kids but she sure didn't have them all by herself.
