It makes me very sad to read this. Especially the thought of a child in this situation, when I have a child at the same age. Some people chose the street, I've seen it in places where the government provides for everyone. And many are mentally ill, often schizophrenics off medication. Sad enough that it is hard to help them. But to see families hit by the economic crisis to be pushed to the street is appalling. How about we raise taxes a little bit for everyone, so that people who have fallen on hard times can be caught by a 'social net'?
