You people should be ashamed of yourselves. You do not know the facts in this case, you do not know the facts of her history, and have no right passing judgement. Sometimes there is a lot more to the story than what your minds and voices assume, and what the newspaper can share. Unless you are her, her doctor, her lawyer, her children, you have no facts and no permission to judge. Think people, think.report abuse

I Wonder, If you only knew how many of these people we have on assitances, I hope there is money if and when I need the assistances. Being a sex offender is a new disability didn't you hear. "I can work, can't find work, etc., etc., etc., They become disabled because of being caught doing these terrible thing, find out they had depression, PTSD, etc. All was fine before they were caugth went to jail. We as tax payers can't win.report abuse

I started to fel for this woman until I read that she SHARED THE APARTMENT WITH HER # CHILDREN!!!!! For these so-called children to allow their mother's home to become so filthy it is not fit for human living,is just amazing. How can they live with themselves knowing they could have saved her from this happening and did nothing? This is just another example of those taking full advantage of public assistance and doing nothing to help themselves..they ought to be ashamed of themselves.report abuse
