[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not being "nosey", just observant since most kids in the neighborhood are more visible on the weekend instead of less. And you can stop the divorce/deceased/whatever trope, because that's not what it is -- it's called [b]young single mothers[/b] leaving their children in the city with their parents (to go to the same schools they did when they were young), and then having the child live with them on the weekends.

Maybe the grandparents have official custody, who knows who claims whom on their taxes, etc., but this is what happens on the Hill and bothers the people who buy their homes, live in them with their children, and don't feel like they can really be part of their IB school without being called "gentrifiers" in a derisive way.

Again, I'm not reporting them, but it's hard to ignore.[/quote]

Exactly, but not just young single mothers.  Also the parents of the drugged-out, incarcerated and generally under-employed and dysfunctional if the experience of our block is in any way representative.   The in-boundary grandparents and great-grandparents almost never have official custody, or rent or own jointly with the "lost generation" of parents  - they don't need to bother to get custody, not with DCPS happy to let them furnish their offspring with in-boundary addresses for schools.  Maury has cracked down on the practice and L-T should follow suit.

No point in reporting them when there's no chance in hell that DCPS will tangle with the elderly folk, who vote in droves coming off church buses.  [/quote][/quote]
