She was probably thinking "rich white woman stickin her nose where it ought not to be!" That's the kind of attitude I heard in that statement. Pissed me right off! I said I know what poverty is, believe me I've been there but my mother would sweat blood before she would have let us kids go without baths and food for as long as these kids have!
Still they did nothing to remedy the situation because these kids have been filling up their water jugs from my water hose for months and stealing electricity from their neighbors. This also happens to be a section 8 home. We knew when the owner of the home went and turned it into a section 8 that this kind of people would move in. It almost never fails. A lot of us on this street have owned our homes here for years and it WAS a peaceful street. Now we are scared of what might happen when THEY get into arguements on the weekends and there is cops down there every other day and so on. I just wish they would LEAVE! |
Did you call the Health Department? That's the next step if DSS doesn't work.
