As a single mother who raised 3 boys, I would like to add that I am sick of Mothers getting bashed when something happens to their child. Yes, they should be supervised, but they also need a place to live, clothes to wear, and food on the table. I guess they could lock their kids up in the house and not let them have a life, but as for myself and I am sure JR's mother thought she was doing the best she could. At least she was working and not laid up all day living on welfare like so many of them do. I think talking about her lack of supervision is not any part of the equation and should not be talked about any more. Her daughter is dead through no fault of her own. She had someone that was supposed to be watching her children so what else could she have done?
I am sure she is blaming herself enough without anyone else placing blame on her. Sorry, but as far as I am concerned this has nothing to do with sleuthing what happened to Jorelys. Unless I am missing something and in that event I would be interested in hearing that theory. A person can be dealt all kinds of problems in their life and all they can do is deal with it the best way they can. In my opinion JR's mother needs to be left alone. Think about working all night in a chicken processing plant. But, at least she was working and trying to make a life for herself and her children. My heart truly breaks for her and I hope she gets the hell out of here and goes back to PR where she at least has family that can help her. BTW I respect your expertise in the apartment managing field, but unless you have been a single mother in this current day and time, please don't pass judgement on the mother because you are passing judgement on all of us who have been in this same situation. And I like you, am sure I will get lots of disagreeing posts, but that is okay. It just really upsets me. Now I will go and duck. jmo:furious:
