First, I have to say that I don’t endorse leaving children in vehicles, period.

BUT, if a mother is poor and going to a job interview to get out of poverty, and has no one to turn to…what is she supposed to do?

She’s told to ‘get off her ass and get a job”…but how is she supposed to do that when she has no money to afford day care until she get that job?

Was she supposed to take the children into the interview?  She would have been shot down for the job immediately, especially given all the competition for positions.

“Everything is focused on the mother and understandably so. It seems to be a very compelling human interest story,” County Attorney Bill Montgomery said at a recent news conference. “But I’m equally concerned and compelled about the circumstances those two children were in.”

Really…?  So, if Shanesha brought the kids to your office, being “concerned and compelled” you would personally watch them while she went to the interview…?  Yeah, I didn’t think so…

With all the obstacles, how exactly are the poor supposed to get out of poverty? Not being arrested is a good start.

Bless Amanda Bishop for looking out for another.
