thats right 75%
3 out of 4 households
all the numbers are a matter of public record, I know where to look, do you?
The only ignorance here is your blind eye to the city of lawrence.
Gosh, I dont know whats worse, your blind ignorance, or how arogant you are about your ignorance.

Accept responsibility. She owns the house and has the most serious drug and drinking problem amoungst the people that lived there. A fine model of a mom. Wonder why your sister is in the situation she is in? Because you all allowed it and did nothing. Why don't you go help your sister? Why didn't you call DSS or the Police?

How is DSS going to help these kids? Put them in group homes? End result=repeat of parents' behavior in ten years if not worse! if the parents are on welfare, then dss has little to do in this situation but make it worse. Why do i say that? the kids will be the ones getting the checks, free food, rent, education, transportation, video games and the list goes on. End result? The kid does not know how to earn his/her money. Where did the moral of hard work go? DSS is just a money making corporation with little genuine help to offer. Anyone on welfare should participate in community service for 40 hours or more a week! this will probably save the taxpayer hounds of money. IF you are fit to party and do drugs you are fit to work!

It's "Projects" (DU)MS 66. Besides, where did you get those stats? Who are "they?" "They" also say 99% of people who use anonymous, unknowable, stats are usually projecting ignorant prejudices. These animals deserve jail time & the removal of the innocent children, but don't involve the rest of the city in your fantastic stories. By the way, these animals have been involved in the court system for some time without result. You think the courts may be to blame, somewhat? Keep it real, or keep it off.

Perhaps your comment would be taken much more seriously if you'd use the correct form of certain words...?

Just a thought.

Bunch of racist, who mentioned anything about this being Spanish people or being on welfare?. Those people may also be one of those none Spanish crackheads or prostitute that none Spanish male pick up on Broadway. But did anybody thought of that? not, because everybody that lives in Lawrence is Spanish living of welfare. Right?

Did this article even mentioned a name at all? How do you know they are Spanish people on welfare?

Stories like this one really breaks my heart. I can't imagine why would any parent put their kids thru something like that. They had the kids sleeping with no blankets , probably with no fan or ac these people should really grow up and start treating their kids with more respect. Animals take care of their young ones better than these so call mothers. I would never have my kid in that type of enviroment, I'am young mom and work 2 jobs to give my 4yr old everything she needs and more. I love my child too much and will never put her thru anything like this. Those kids got woken up at 2:30am by the police , so sad it breaks my heart.

We'd have orphanages busting at the seems, homeless people sleeping all over the place, and theft rates beyond comprehension. I feel the welfare program is great for people who actually need it and don't make it a lifestyle. It's not meant to sustain people long-term, but that's how it's used. It's inevitible that with any public assistance program, there's going to be abuse and it's a shame.

We tend to find that people who like to quote their salary and point out how much better they are than the rest of us are usually lying.
