I see a lot of people running their mouth condemning a woman that is struggling to support her family. And while she is locked up, “someone” burns down the shed with all the families personal belongings. This takes a special kind of evil. May you rot in hell. Does anyone on here know the family? Is there a church organizing help for this family?

The fact is that this is not the first time these children were removed from her care. Those children have a long history of neglect under her care. Being poor does not make you a bad mother. Being a bad person makes you a bad mother. Those are facts. Save the Children!

Most of our community probably has heard that Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you…” (Mathew 26). I wonder how many of us know that it was a reference to Deuteronomy 15, where it was written, “There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.”

Somehow, we need to return to a recognition that being poor or ignorant of how to do things better – should not be considered a crime. Somehow we need to return to a recognition that having children home at home is a risk that some must take even if it results in heartbreak. If this goes to trial a Jury should highly scrutinize every aspect of what is alleged with the benefit of doubt going to the defense. I noticed there was no report at all here that the children were physically abused or malnourished, nor taken to a medical facility by ECSO, etc.

When it is all said and done, we should have a public accounting of the ‘cost’ of arresting, incarcerating, mom and supporting the children in her absence. And — if we are going to air dirty laundry of one parent or the other – it should all be aired out entirely. Instead we should assume good intent absent a conviction by of one party, the other, or both, by a jury.

ALL OF YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE!!! The point is, is SHE LEFT THEM ALONE (the 2 little ones NOT her teen) ALONE!! In a shed with a GAS GENERATOR GOING! Read that again, and no this is NOT the only time she has left them alone, it’s been going on for YEARSSSS!!!! All these comments and all you guys can say is ‘Poor momma’ what about these CHILDREN she could’ve sent with their dad, but because of her own selfishness she refused because she used them as a tool. Trust me it was only a matter of time before this was going to happen or something worse, and THANK GOD it wasn’t something worse. But everyone is missing the point!!!! She left her 2 kids that are under 10 ALONE!!!! Like she was gone, all the way gone. Who cares about the rest, this is the problem!!!!!!

After reading through the comments seems like many of you knew her or at least her situation but obviously did nothing to help. Hope you sleep well in your little glass houses.

This mother works two jobs!! DCF was already call out there, and said it was fit her and the kids to stay there Temporarily. So the mom paid $250 to get pipes ran from the “shed” to the sewer tank. So that her and the kids would have a bathroom. She has a sectional couch, 3 dressers full of clothes, a king size bed, a table, and yes a make shaft bathroom all inside of this “shed”. And don’t forget a washer and dryer on the porch. She also has lights (a generator). It sounds like when her house got repoed she sent money on getting this shed turned in a tiny house, just until she could get back on her feet! Meanwhile she found a trailer just needs to find a way to get it to her property. The power pole is already sit up for delivery this coming week!! So this mother has been working her ass off to get back on her feet for her and her kids and at the end the struggle Escambia county comes in and takes the kids and locks her up!!! Remind you she has proof of everything!! And the only reason that she had a chicken and CANS of food, “Without Adequate food” they say, is the kids just got home from their dads house after 5 days of being GONE! That’s why she got up that morning and order $280 of food to be delivered!! And explained that to the wonderful men in blue as well!! They didn’t care!! They just locked her up and took the kids anyway!! Now talking about seeing your kids being taken away from you, and you going to jail.I don’t even want to think of the PURE HELL that she’s going through right now!! Some people was raised to fight for what you have and not ask for help, so she made sure that she had a roof over her family’s head, running water so they can stay clean, lights, food and and bathroom. It might not be what they’re used to but it takes time! And folks need to look all what she’s done in 2 months, and help her and not down her! I really don’t understand why it’s ok to live in a SMALL tent under a bridge with your kids with NO WATER, LIGHTS, BATHROOM, CLEAN CLOTHES, FOOD YOU BUY YOURSELF, ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD, WALLS AND FLOORS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE WET, DAMP GROUND YOU CAN SLEEP IN A BED OR THE COUCH, WHY OH WHY DO WE THINK THAT IS IS SO WRONG?

@ Bewildered court system here…
you are 100% correct…but..
I know from personal experience and others, our system here in Escambia county has empowered deadbeat parents but not throwing every single one in jail..give then 30 days for non payment…make them pay or go 1 year back to jail to get all these deadbeat parents attention.
I am owed 29k on back child support for 16 years..right here in Escambia county..I get court notices from this pathetic county system to appear so “we can discuss” what they are NOT going to do.
I have been to court more than the judges go to work..they play footsie an can invent any excuse to to NOT throw the people in jail, attach liens to property, play games with the tax gig with zero results.
I know how I suffered ..more from the hands of the courts here sitting on their hands and boy…the excuses.
The courts just as myself abused me as much as this woman is and has been abused.
Sorry for what she has been forced to with the courts complacency .
Believe me..there are thousands living here the courts are letting down.
The courts best excuse…they cant locate him or her…its lunch time now …lets all convene …and screw the parents who are bearing the hardships
Now the same court system here is going to eff with her.
The same culprits that empowered the deadbeats
Ironic isn’t it !!!!!

There’s only one shelter in Escambia County that accepts women and kids. It’s about an hour away on N street and it is currently full.

Since her ex-husband lives locally and is financially able to support his girlfriend’s kids he should be forced to immediately pay all back child support for his own flesh and blood. Sadly liberal folks are always finding excuses why someone can’t or shouldn’t be held accountable. With all the manual work available everywhere force him to work his butt off 12 hours a day and pay what he owes!! Problem solved!!
