ROFLMAO!!!

There is humor AND truth in your statement.

I have become a surrogate dad to two hispanic kids in Brooklyn.

The father they did have beat them and made them sleep in the hallways if he was in a bad mood and worse.

The mother and they are away from him now and as he was threatening her, I made it understood if he harmed them he would run into several Italian men ONCE.

And it would be the last time he ran into anybody.

It’s TWO YEARS and I’m finally getting a grip on them and the ship is turning around.

I had to be VERY TOUGH with them at time and then showed that i cared at other times.

I still wouldn’t trust then with a 20 in the middle of the room and me not there :)

But at least they’re going to school now and one is actually doing very well. No more shoplifting, no more being nasty to mom.

There IS a lot of work to be done in this country and this WAS a waste of a life and a life of service.

I AM SORRY.

I cannot change my opinion to make folks here who are UTTERLY misguided in what martyrdom is, happy.
