Like what?

Munchausen by proxy, obviously!

Yeah, it seems the kid wasn’t visibly sick otherwise the teacher or someone else besides the mother must have noticed. It’s really sad though.

I agree. If they showed up at an emergency room, they would not have been turned away (if you come to this country, you should at least have the basic understanding of how things work. Also, why are we letting people into this country sho go directly to shelters?).

If you show up in an emergency room, they have to treat you until you're stabilized.

And then they send you an enormous bill.

If you live in this country, you should at least have the basic understanding of how things work.

So your options are a) take kid to hospital, he lives, and you have a huge bill or b) don’t take your kid, he dies, but yay! No bills!

Every time your child tells you they don't feel well, you assume that this is a medical emergency and your child will certainly die without medical treatment?

It doesn't take any additional effort to be a kind person, PP. You might try it.

You’re right. When my kid complains of chest/throat pain for a month, I assume it’s nothing.

But it's so much easier to throw stones from a moral high ground!

The family may be here legally.

Oh sure. Count on it.

Your bias is showing. Again.

I’m going to get roasted but something about this doesn’t add up. I think there’s more to the story.

In some countries, you are thrown in jail if you can’t pay your bills. I’m sure she didn’t think her child would die. But she may have thought she would be arrested and deported. You don’t have to be here illegally to be deported after an arrest.

I think the mom.wws afraid of the hospital bills. And I'm guessing they are both undocumented

I love how dcum assumes that just because they’re Spanish and homeless they must be here illegally. Biased much? Nowhere does any article say they’re here illegally. If they were from a European country and we’re homeless we would not be saying this.

You realize you live in a world of privilege. She does not. She's struggling to get by. She's struggling to find housing. She can only stay so long at the shelter and if she's not legal, there are not rental assistance programs to help post-shelter as there are for citizens. She's jus trying to survive.

This right here. So many on this forum completely unaware of their privilege. Their biggest concern is when they can see their precious child's scores on their Apple laptop in their comfortable living room. There are people in this county living a life they can't even imagine. The mother did nothing wrong. The circumstances suck.
