Naked Girl Eating From Trash Cans Shocks Temecula Neighbors February 18, 2012

Neighbors in Temecula expressed shock after seeing a 12-year-old girl walking naked through a neighborhood and eating out of trash cans.

Neighbors noticed the girl roaming through trash cans looking for food and called 911.

Police arrested the girl's mother, Tracy Betts, shortly after officers, acting on witness tips, searched for the girl Thursday and found her without clothes and sitting in a car parked near Vail Elementary school.

Once they discovered who the girl’s mother was and where she worked, police went to the Vail campus and took Betts into custody.

Betts’ daughter was placed in protective custody and treated at a hospital.

Stories like this make an old TSgt cry real tears.

And we got rid of orphanages because they were 'cruel'.

Glad they got her clothed before someone from Hollywood could get her to a casting couch.

The Slimes doesn’t post pictures of Holder’s people who are perps. Better to keep us guessing. Of course I and many have come to be so cynical that when the Slimes doesn’t post pictures, it is probably a Holder’s People or other “person of color”.

I hate that Bill Clinton made me a racist. I hate that propaganda mills like the Slimes feed my racism. If they were just honest all the way around with all stories, my racism would immediately subside.

Nope, the Slimes feeds it with their propaganda, lies and distortions.

I am a shell of a man. I used to be so happy. Modern America just sucks.

Gimme a break. You don’t know enough about the story to form an opinion.

Example: When I was a little kid, there was a little girl that lived across the street from me (say 5-6 years old) that was very weird. She liked to run around the neighborhood with no clothes. Her mother would chase after her carrying a robe screaming at her to come back and the little brat would laugh hysterically as she ran.

Then there was the little freaks that ate bugs and bird shit not because they were hungry, just because they liked it. It had nothing to do with the parents.

“And we got rid of orphanages because they were ‘cruel’.”

Father Nelson Baker who opened an orphanage in Lackawanna, NY is being considered for sainthood. My aunt’s husband was raised in that orphanage along with his two brothers and his sister. Each one left the orphanage at 18 with a good education and a job waiting for them. All became responsible, hardworking members of society.

The orphanage was supported by donations.

High unemployment = “Obama helping people spend more time with their families”

Nude can rummager = “Youth-centric recycling awareness program”

This Obama stuff is FANTASTIC...!!!

Extra Credit — HOW is THIS Bush’s fault...?

Take your time.

The REAL lesson here: If you want the UNVARNISHED TRUTH about the USA, then American readers MUST go to BRITISH newspapers.

That was true ALSO during the Monica Mess; if it wasn’t the Brits or the National Enquirer, then you would hear NOTHING bad about Slick Willy (and then finally Drudge came along).

I know enough to know that a 12 year old, nekked on the street, eating out of trash cans is wrong.

If the kid is mentally ill, she needs to be under care. If not mentally ill, the kid needs taken care of.

Either way, it bothers me.

So don't jump my @$$ with your BS. I didn't offer an opinion. I expressed my emotional reaction to a situation I find wrong, regardless of the reason.

I'm not asking for the government to fix it. My opinion is that private charities should step in.
