Hahaha....I'm willing to make you a bet that she wasn't working.  In fact, I'm willing to go even further and bet that she hasn't been working in quite some time.  Which means that the children (and the mom) were living off of child support (if their fathers aren't in jail) or welfare.  Now, before you get all hysterical about how i don't agree with people being on welfare, which couldn't be farther from the truth, consider that she had 5 kids at 26.  That leaves her almost 25 years (give or take) to have more children that someone else is going to be paying for.  So yeah, having that many at her age in her situation was extremely stupid.  But let's say she was just poor and trying to be a good mom to all of them.  Would her 2 year old be wondering the streets at midnight???  Now, call me crazy, and overly harsh, but that just screams unfit to me.  Yes, judging is ok sometimes! it really, really is!!!!  And when you have as much information about me as we do about this lovely lady, then judge away.  Until then I suggest you cool off and THINK!!!

No one would disagree that it is obviously terrible to leave a 2 YO without adult supervision.  No one would defend this mother or any other for that.  I judge that.  And I find it deplorable.

What is objectionable is the characterizations of the mother's sexual behavior, about which we reallly have no facts.  And the items you list above - she wasn't working - she was on welfare - suggesting father in jail.  You don't know any of that.  You are speculating.  [/quote]
