I read that she has 6 kids, all daughters except for that one son. She is a single mother, and seems to have been unemployed for a very long time.

Is it me, or is there something wrong with this picture? Should perpetually unemployed single women be having six kids? Now they're all living off of federal welfare, of course.

I don't want to offend, but she doesn't seem to be exactly "Mom of the Year" during the other 364 days of the year.

I agree. After the first 3 kids she should have had her spine severed. After 6 kids, she should have had her spinal column ripped out, Mortal Kombat style.

LOL. I feel like you've used that line somewhere before.

So no one (but you) is advocating violence like her son was. But should she be rewarded by the government for popping out babies, with cash incentives?

I propose that instead of giving her cash per child, the government should take away children whose parents are unable to, and have never been able to, provide financially. Remove all these current incentives for Survival of the Weakest.

This has what to do with the incident with her son at the riot?
Absolutely nothing but you are free to assume whatever you wish since you do not know her, every detail of her life or the reason she is a single Mother of six children.
How do you know she is living off of welfare alone? Do you see her accounts? Get her mail? Know every detail of her finances and life?
No you do not and you are making assumptions based on a story you read somewhere more than likely.
However, if it is in the news then whatever they say must be the truth and all of the details are always in the story because it is in the news and they never leave out anything or lie or embellish.


PS ~~ If you did not "mean to offend" you would have never started this thread.

Really? Who exactly is going to provide for those children and pay for them? You?

Nope not you? Then who? The government?

She demonstrated that she loves her son and wanted to remove him from risk. Hardly qualifies her for mom of the year.
However she did set an example of what other local parents should have done at the time.

Yeah, the government via orphanages. When the financial incentive to have more kids to receive more welfare is no longer there, this is by far the least expensive option for taxpayers in what economists call the "long run".

In the future, most of these kids would no longer be born in the first place without proper planning.

She is unemployed. Initially she reported that she was an asst. manager at a recovery center. But later it came out that she isn't working.

Taxpayers must be supporting that family.

The govenment IS paying for them. Government funding = taxpayers = US. Question answered.
