I have heard that the first 6 yrs of a child's life are the formative years, they just kicked off 57 thousand children off of head start. Protect the tax cuts for people like Romney. If the wealthy were required to pay 5% more in taxes, their lives would hardly show a difference. To those children, they may never be able to catch up to the level of other children...bet they will be the first to call them THUGS.

When did it become fashionable to want the poor to suffer? They want this mother to take her child to work with her? How much suffering will be enough to pay for the sin of being poor? Or is the punishment because this woman wasn't married, therefore a slut. They sure like to judge.

And not even the kids are safe.
