[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone listen to this weeks episode about the eviction?

The narrator is pushing my boundaries on compassion here. The mother did not pay rent and was evicted. She had been evicted from others places although the podcast kept emphasizing that not all eviction actions filed against her stuck.

It was noted that she received a rent subsidy so how much was her actual monthly rent in 2006 through 2012? Her boyfriend admitted that she didn't pay rent on the apt before there were any issues with the apt. [/quote]

Her boyfriend also admitted that he gave her the money to pay the rent and she didn’t pay it. I was also very frustrated by this episode but reminded myself that the point of this podcast is to figure out if there was an intervention that could have saved Relisha.  Maybe the eviction was the place; maybe not.  But it can’t just be unavoidable for a child to be harmed because she was born to a parent that can’t deal with life.  It’s not excusing or blaming parents, it’s finding ways to help children (and hopefully their parents too).[/quote]
