At least the mother is trying, but it sounds like she hasn’t been trying too hard before.

Shame, especially public shaming, is not an effective child-raising tool, IMO.

C’mon.
This woman is trying to do something about her child. If y’all have perfect children and did everything right in raising them, then you might have a say. Sure, this woman is black. Sure, she’s doing somethings you or I might not do. She is, however, struggling to overcome the very things that way too many FReepers bitch about everyday. Give her, or those like her, a little encouragement or help instead of snarky comments.
