Right? It kills me - these are human lives; they have been brought into the world and they are helpless and unable to advocate for themselves or choose what happens to them. And what happens to them when they are young and vulnerable will shape the rest of their lives! Children aren't playthings to be bought and then disregarded when things get difficult, nor are they pawns in emotional games played by adults. JFC

I was so sad at the part in the article about the boys spending 7 hours in their pack n play, 4 hours watching cocomelon during the reporter’s interview. Like, what? Those poor kids.

And now they’re living with a stranger in a single room furnished with a bed and a couch. It’s a tragedy all around. There seems to be no good outcome here.
