Perhaps they’ll be charged with extreme environmentalism.
“Jackson County detectives discovered the 4- and 6-year-old children Thursday in the 8-by-10-foot crate furnished with vehicle bench seats, two small blankets, trash and thin wires. According to the probable cause statement, the crate was missing one side and surrounded by car parts and vehicles in various states of disrepair…
“The 4-year-old child was using hands to eat a dirty, dry cup of ramen noodles, a detective wrote. When asked why they weren’t wearing any shoes, the children responded that they didn’t have any. The older child told officers he should be in first grade but did not go to school.”
I don’t really understand this. On one hand we’re told that we all have to live more sustainable lifestyls, on the other, people who actually do, get arrested.
It kind of reminds me of the Joad Family in Grapes of Wrath, if not for the pink hair. Here’s a suggestion: if you can’t afford shoes for your kids, don’t spend money on hair dye.
