rekamTo be more precise, a court case ruled that rather than being warehoused in state mental hospitals, those who were not a threat to themselves and others could get outpatient care and work and pay taxes rather than consume them. Great idea, except that with Reagan’s encouragement, states just put their patients on a bus to the nearest city, with neither paperwork nor treatment facilities. Of course it failed, and it has been used against humane treatment and civil rights ever since.

Describes young fathers as well, I guess. But the reckless and stupid ones can – and do – leave child and partner more easily than mothers.

Amazes me how many young parents are in that boat and yet the child makes it somehow.

as mother she can “walk a mile in my shoes” to help a child. And Then sale the shoes on Lilas webshop.
