There seems to me to be a lot of non-compassionate people on here who don't seem to understand that sometimes life's best laid plans fall apart. Many parents who have been RESPONSIBLE and planned well for their children run into some obstacles sometimes - death or illness issues, laid off from work, victims of crime, divorce, loss of healthcare, etc, etc, etc. that may toss their best laid plans and dare I say lives into turmoil.

A lot of you seem to think that all these folks and their children are somehow always to blame or are looking for a handout or someone else to care for their own children. What happened to compassion? Are you all so leery of "giving some of my hard earned cash to some do-nothings" that you have lost compassion for the less fortunate? Sometimes people just need a little help.
