It really is a shame that these kids slipped through the cracks.

It's a good thing the GOP hasn't yet cut all the social services they'd like to get rid of in Texas or those kids would be stuck there in that bus until they grow up.

These kids living like this is their dream. This is the right way for them to live by GOP standards.

Terrible story. Makes me wonder about how they slipped through.
Did the cops know about the kids and what did the parents think the kids were doing?

I really just don't get what's wrong with people like you. Do you not have the will power to not bring the GOP into something like this? Or any other left/right crap for that matter?!
What you should be saying is something along the lines of, "I wonder what we could do to make sure this dosent happen again. Maybe we could (insert idea)." But no, thats just too hard.

Those poor kids. Their aunt was supposed to be taking care of them, but totally dropped the ball. Thank goodness someone finally cared enough to contact the proper authorities. I'm afraid there are a lot more kids like this that have yet to be discovered. It's such a shame.

Well if we keep on spending money we don't have and living WELL beyond our means, we won't have any money left for anything, let alone social services.

Poor kids! If their parents hadn't have screwed up with the money things, they wouldn't have been subjected to such horrible conditions by their aunt.

So sad all around. But the article said the Mom will be home soon, so hopefully she can get these kids back on track.
