Is this the same woman? The Washington Post profiled a child sex offender? And didn't realize it at all?

She's got about 15 aliases?
There's something they should do something about - a child sex offender living with a house full of kids?

Looks like a major news organization is too blind to see the whole story - there's a lot more there.
Ex is Dale Brennan Strait - gosh knows what his rap sheet is.
Gee, WaPo , can you really just go in and profile this family for your own jollies of selling newspapers and leave kids in poverty and abuse and just skip on home never to think about them again? Just more money for Jeff Bezos, right? Because he needs it?

Looks like there is a sh*t ton more to this story.

Sloppy reporting. Really, really bad.

You don't know if they even voted at all. Lame.

Not really. Unmarried, poor women with a history of child neglect and poor decision-making. What more do you need to know?

The problem isn't the benefits or people. The problem is much bigger: it's the failing American system that ignored the plight of failing communities, allowing the education system to fail and ignoring corporate abandonment. Plus, no real access to healthcare.

Imagine what your options might be if you were born and raised in a Podunk town with crummy schools, opioid addiction running rampant, zero jobs, and no hope. You can't "just move." These people don't have money or options.

Ever been to Selma, AL? That's a city...a city where Applebees wasn't willing to take the risk and open a restaurant because it wouldn't have a customer base equipped to eat out or entry level staff with sufficient literacy skills to run a cash register. And that's a city.

Is it possible the gene pool these people procreate with is just helpless?

Disability has become the new welfare for some people. I work with women who are being weaned from TANF and some (SOME) of them try like anything to get their children diagnosed with something. The scariest case I know of is a woman who, since being timed out of TANF, has given birth to several very premature babies (one micropreemie). The children born before the TANF was cut off were all full term. Makes you wonder....

It is not that easy to get disability.

So maybe that is why she can't get a job, she's a registered sex offender, which should have limitations of where she can work (not around kids), plus who would want to hire a sex offender. For taking indecent liberties with a minor. Sweet Jesus.

I wonder if one of the four ex husbands abusedFranny and fathered the oldest child.

She is a child sex offender who took indecent liberties with a child who is living with multiple children.
And really - you have to go all the way to rural MO to find the lowest of the low on disability to actually find someone exploiting the system - in a place where clearly anything goes
if child sex offenders are living with kids and maybe a mom who pimped out her cognitively disabled daughter to increase their benefits - that should tell you that people getting away with extra disability payments is not a common thing.

Well she was married four times - so likely four married names. In addition to maiden name.
