The mother and an aunt leave a 2 year old and a 3 year old alone at home while they take someone home. While they are out, the house catches fire and 1 boy dies and the other is badly injured. This is a news video but can anyone understand the disregard of the aunt? Why did it take both of them to give someone a ride home? She shows no remorse and her only concern is for her food stamps that were in the house.

Wow. Just wow.
I'm guessing she doesn't vote. Blamed the 2-3 year olds for starting the fire but won't take responsibility.... Wow.

This a sad day when total strangers are more concerned about kids than their own kin are.

Please tell me the Clinton welfare reforms that cut off many benefits after your child was two years old was amended...

I know this used to be the case. A family member of mine was approached by the birth mom of her son to adopt his sibling when she turned two because the bennies ran out.

Words can't describe what I am feeling right now. I am really shocked that anyone could be that stupid & think it's ok to leave a 2 & 3 year old home alone. Wow! Just Wow!

I'm curious as to whether that trip to take a "dude" home involved some illegal activity like drugs. She says they took the guy home after he mowed their yard and stuff but it looks like either public housing or an apartment complex and those usually hire people to mow resident's yards. The mother may not have wanted to get caught with drugs and kids in the car because they would have taken her kids, aka her meal ticket.

Worse than "they vote".......they reproduce, and indoctrinate another generation, which is usually worse than the one before.

It's so sad that humans have become so desensitized and have no regard for life.....

And making shooting someone "who had it coming" a valid defense.

They can always have more kids, but food stamps just come once a month.

That's it, Tom. Not a tear for her niece/nephew, her concern is about her food stamp card.
