Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

I don't understand where this are suggests the kids be taken?

Or what, "The kids would that they can do what they want... and the government would pick up the tab for the rest" means.

Am I the only one who cannot figure out this post?

Well if it is really that difficult...

psalm and others stated that the kids should not suffer because of their parents poor choices...

So in response.. I said... "so take the kids..." she didn't suggest it... I did. Let them be wards of the state. I have no problem with that. Do you? Would you rather that kids be homeless with their parents? It seems it is unfair to the children and that they suffer needlessly... so take them; shelter and house them; teach them if they do not work hard they will end up in the same squallor that their parents were.


psalm also said that maybe the kids would learn responsibility that rather than poor choices... if the government picked up the tab and provided healthcare and met their needs...

I stated... rather poorly because I was in a hurry... that rather they would learn that they could do whatever they wanted because the government would pick up the tab for them...

Happy to have clarified for you teapot and spacenurse.

"so take the kids..." she didn't suggest it... I did. Let them be wards of the state. I have no problem with that. Do you?

Let me clarify something, I didn't say for the gov't to take the kids and pick up the tab. I said if there was suspicion of abuse/neglect to report it. Sometimes intervention can be a good thing, parents are checked out, hopefully willing to work with a counselor, learn parenting skills, budgeting. And some are just selfish, taking care of themselves but ignoring the needs of their kids.
