Completely hypothetical question - if you had a child in a joint custody situation, and you found out the mother was posting those CL ads and working with your child in the same apartment, would you be ok with that?
The thread should be deleted for the fact that it can't be substantiated, but neglect isn't as simple as withholding food and shelter. Potentially exposing a child to adult sexuality or even possibly endangering them is just as bad, if not worse.
It's a touchy subject and bound to stir up some emotion.
Yup, too touchy.
It could be worse... she could be a crack whore... then she'd be exposing them to sex and drugs!
I'm not saying I agree, I just think people are really blowing this up when there are abused, unfortunate and starving children who could also use the attention during the holiday season.
I'm not really prepared to judge what others do unless it directly hurts me.
Being one who has sex for money, I'm not sure anyone would trust my morals anyways.. lol
If you do feel strongly about the welfare of children, donate to local food drives, toy drives, children's hospitals and charities.
If you want to make a difference you can. There are organizations out there who will take food, toys and money and put it to helping children in need all over the country.
