[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these people talking about boarding schools -- are you planning to send your children to boarding school?[/quote]

That is a stupid comment.

If I am taking care of my child, if he is doing well in school, why would I send him to biarding school?

We're talking about kids who are NOT being taken care of.[/quote]

Ah yes. My children can stay home with me because I'm a good parent. It's those other people, over there, who are bad parents -- it's their children who have to be separated from their families.

I wonder how good a parent you or I would be, if we were coping the living and economic conditions that poor people in West Baltimore cope with?

Yes, that is it exactly.

If a kid is NOT being taken care of by their parents, how about we try to help out the kids?  Or do you feel that lower income kids simply deserve being stuck in a situation that they have no control over?

Don't pretend like these moms have not made any choices.  We all make bad choices, but to continue to have more and more kids when you cannot even take care of the kids that you have is irresponsible at least and child neglect at worse.  That is exactly what happens.

Like the PP said, if I was living there, I would not be choosing to have more kids.

You make it seem like these women have no choice other than to churn out babies.[/quote]

I agree that the parents have made bad choices- to continue having kids and neglecting them- and that intervention that directly helps the children should be developed and implemented.
I disagree that you'd make different choices if you were living there- as in, if you'd grown up there. You'd be a product of the same dysfunctional mentality. There are exceptions, of course, but in all likelihood, you, and I, and the PP, would not turn out to be exceptions.[/quote]
