Reply #3: this is how our society has

[UpInArms]

become when there are no safety nets -

this mother - undereducated - worked at minimum wage positions - K-Mart and nursing homes -

husband - undereducated and in poor health - probably no health insurance -

children - too many and far too young and now with futures ruined -

$1,000 monthly mortgages for a home big enough to house them and no income to support the loan

with nowhere to go but the streets and no way to make better choices - because bad choices seem to snowball out of control -

this story was years in the making and hours in the undoing of an entire family unit

so where did they go with their loot??

to the casino -

for me, it's a weeper :(
