It’s possible.

Not THAT weird, and certainly not mourning the loss of food stamps more than a child.

It is possible she was in denial...

I guess.

Or she could just be really dumb

Not that strange if you consider that somewhere her kids are left alone and she still needs to feed them.

Farrakhan was her Sunday. My daughter was to attend a dance recital at the Cook Convention Center, but we chose church instead. Only to find out the Nation of Islam was going to be at the same place we were to be.

Well why the child is dead? If it was not they would send the child back after it was healed.

One child is still in critical condition at the hospital, and the mother has a 5 year old child who was not apparently in the home at the time of the fire. There are two children still at risk, IMHO.

She is probably dumb, but she is also selfish to the point of pure evil.

She probably figured, “My sister can make more babies easy enough, but it is going to be a real hassle to get the government to replace my burned food stamps cards.”

This is the mentality created by the Democrat, “Great Society”. It creates individuals who are serverly socially and morally retarded.

Mustn’t move too quickly to remove those children. That would be RACIST!

Just like those village idiots elbowing their way into the Cobo Arena in DEEE-troit to get summa dat free money from "Obama's stash." This is all a dream come true for the libs - a dumbing down of the masses into needy crowds of dependent, uneducated, unthinking and unaware eaters who are so much easier to manipulate.

The mother is obviously a victim of poor protoplasm. There’s not much else that can be said.

Yes the need to be removed but I have seen so many stories of CYS or children's bureaus returning children and eventually they die. One here in Pennsylvania was found dead in a cooler!!!

Oh wait....she can get pregnant by a drop of a hat....I forgot, the baby can be replaced just as easy.

I’d like to spend some alone time with her. I’d bring pliers and a blow torch.
