I just call them breeders. People like this POS need to be spayed. Maybe harsh but so is life.
I just hope and pray that someone compassionate takes those kids and shows them what a real home and family is like. GOD in Heaven knows they deserve FAR better than what they’ve had so far in their little lives.
Just wait until some government worker drone slaps a breaking and entering charge on them to teach them not to think 9/12 and you must rely on the government to solve these problems
Wow, what a couple of great teens. It is easy, in their neighborhood, to not want to get involved, it is often more problems than its worth. They took the chance of breaking in to a home to help the 2 year old. They got bigger ones than me, I tell you. I would have called the police and left. Kudos to them.
"Home" -- singular. Siblings?
BTW, it appears to me a nice, well-kept "home"... New public housing -- with sidelights in the doorway? (If so, invitation to break-in...)
Good girls. I’m so glad they were there and had the courage to intervene.
We had a situation in Georgia in *military* housing. One of the army wives lost her mind while our husbands were deployed and left her two babies (2 and 3) in the care of her 8 year old daughter.
I was one of the neighbors who took the kids in when I found then roaming. I’d feed and bathe them and let them stay at my place for hours. (There were about 4 of us women who rotated this while the guys were gone. None of us *ever* met the mother.)
My husband found the little ones outside roaming one morning shortly after he came back. It was 4:30AM and he was on his way to PT. He took the kids out of the road, banged like hell on the locked door and delivered the kids to their mother.
After someone (with more courage than me) called the police, the children were taken. When the apartment was cleaned out, there were two *full* pickup loads of garbage hauled to the dump. (Something like 40 lawn and leaf bags for garbage taken from a small, 3 bedroom apartment)
The poor husband came home to a missing wife, a trashed military apartment, abandoned kids, and $20,000 in debt. Not to mention that she had sold everything that was of value to feed her gambling addiction so had had no vehicle.
This happens everywhere. (Although, I agree it’s more common in the projects.)
Thank God that these two kids are here to be celebrated for their basic goodness, and not as perp photos. Hope it rubs off on a lot of their homies.
As a resident of Hudson County, I can say first and foremost that Jersey City is a wretched hide of scum and villainy, save for the downtown area, and parts of Journal Square. You have a gaggle of nearly indicted or indicted political hacks running the city government, a police chief that thinks his officers deserve preferential rock star treatment, while the 2nd Amendment rights of the citizen be damned, and a culture and class of welfare recipients that would make even the Cook County and Kalifornistan residents jealous. Thank the Lord that there are still some good kids that did what was right. I hope they grow up into great adults, and even better parents.
