Whacko Woman Left 3 Little Kids Home Alone

[Mousebaby (Premo)]

I had something similar happen not too long ago with our neighbors down the street. Their 6 and 8 yr. old boys got off the bus around 3:30 with my son and there was no one home for them so they came over to my house and stayed till about 5. Then they went to see if anyone was home and no one was there still so they started back over here and their Aunt showed up and took them home with her. This is not the first time I have had to call the police on this family. I have also called protective services. Sadly to this day I don't think the county has done a da*& thing to help these kids. There is 5 of them in the house and they can go months at a time without water or electric. It pitiful!

No, this just reminded me of that woman down the street. Makes me wonder why no one will do anything about it.

Pretty pathetic, DSS usually steps in with a situation like that.

She was at the dentist and left the 5 year old in charge. The not so funny thing is when the grandmother was found and asked for one of the kids names, she said I don't known. So then they asked for a father's name they got the same answer

I'm sorry but the dentist is not emergency enough to warrant leaving 3 small children alone. She should have been able to arrange for someone to watch them. Her stupidity. I have no pity for her and believe she deserves what she gets, unfortunately, it will probably be a slap on the wrist.

Oh no, the first time I reported these kids not having electric or water it was last summer during the hottest time. The woman at social services said to me and I quote "It's called poverty, it's not illegal to be poor!" and she said it with a very NASTY attitude with it. 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!

Yeah and her teeth are probably rotting out from her drug abuse. Isn't there a drug they use or something, like heroin, (don't know never done it) that makes your teeth rot out.

I promise you we the tax payers are paying to get her teeth fixed too!

Did you call the Health Department? That's the next step if DSS doesn't work.

No, never thought of that route! I will definitely keep it in mind. Believe it or not, the officer that was here the last time said that the children going that long without water was borderline neglect! Can you believe that?!?!?!? Blows my mind! I guess, God forbid, one of the kids has to die before they will do anything.
