In reply to the discussion: Kentucky ‘free range’ family loses custody of 10 kids over apparent ‘unschooling’ [View all]logosoco
(3,211 posts)I did notice the baby looks to be wearing disposable diapers, which does not seem to echo a free range, simple back to the earth life style. This brings up questions about where are the diapers disposed of, and what about the rest of the "sewage"? They need to take care of these basic things if they want the kids to be running loose on the land. The mentions of garbage and glass throughout the property makes me wonder what are they teaching/showing the kids about land care?
I guess a human can live under those circumstances and be okay, but doesn't it get cold in Kentucky in the winter? And what do they do when it rains a lot? These pictures don't show the garden or animals I would think they would need to really support this large family.
I lost a lot of sympathy for them when it was mentioned that dad has been in trouble for writing bad checks and threatening people with a knife or a gun. If that is true, yeah, these kids do need someone to help them.
