Disturbing Articles

No offense, but I'm really tired of reading about Katrina and the disaster. It's just so depressing. I still read about it, just not nearly as often. I did, however, find an article on FOXNews.com, that was so disturbing. The article is called "Caged Kids' Mom Complained of Husband". The article goes on to talk about how they adopt children with special needs and yet they are complaining of the husband being aggressive and harming to the children. What I DO NOT understand is how these two people are taking care of, at the most, ELEVEN Special Needs children. ELEVEN with only TWO adults!? ELEVEN TO TWO?! That's absoultey ridiculous. When I worked with the special needs students my senior year they had three teachers to six students. Even then it was overwhelming. What does spark my interest about this is that the government gives these two close to $5,000 a month to take care of these children. Jesus, sounds like a good way to get money from the government. Take in these children, get the money and then just lock them in cages. That's the impression I got anyway.

You should talk to Ewald about caring for foster children. His family has been doing it for a long time. Apparently the misuse of money given to families caring for foster children is more common that you'd think, and his mother has kind of made it her personal crusade to make sure that foster children in those types of situations are able to get the things that they need (like clothes). I can't remember the exact details.
