BR opening its door and pocketbooks to people displaced by Katrina.

People who go above and beyond for a company for years, only to be laid off at the first ill wind.

Are those two different examples or is there a connection?

Importing 200,000 Somali Muslims from their shithole 3rd world country, giving them free benefits from your tax dollars, and they then steal 19 billion more dollars in fraud that we know of.

Slaving away on your yard and landscaping only to have the kids dumped on you as soon as you’re done, since you’ve been having such a good time and haven’t had to deal with them all day!

Getting lice from a ragamuffin.

Little girl from just outside my neighborhood seemed to spend a LOT of time alone for a 1st grader- her bus stop was outside my house and she had to cut through the back of the neighborhood wooded area to get to her street and home.

It was raining one day and I noticed her getting off the bus and went out there to drive her home.. got to her house and learned no one was there, her parents were at work for another few hours. Took her back home with me and fed her. Turned into a daily thing, I'd keep her after school til her mama got home.

Kid was INFESTED with lice and being a mom of a younger girl, I had no idea what the signs were until we were also infested.

I had to treat my 4yr old daughter for lice and my whole household because I couldn't let a little ragamuffin be a latchkey kid.

Yes, I continued watching her even after that.

Helping someone so they don’t get fired and then later on they try to get you fired.

Sorry your family had to go through that, but it was the right thing to do IMO. Kudo's to you!!

This was a very close friend, he was very loyal, he was the guy that was called at 2am because a driver was stranded and the 2 guys on call were AWOL. He was with them for 22 years, got laid off to make room for a DEI hire.

Post-Katrina saw crime in BR skyrocket, it will be a long time before the damage is recovered.

What in the absolute frick is wrong with this kids parents? I’m more appalled they don’t care enough to either send her to after care or rotate going home or have a relative be home, something. Jesus H.

I haven’t even mentioned the lice yet.

Hideous parents. Weren’t even concerned a straight up stranger had transported their kid then decided to take that kid home with them. This was back in 2004- but still, they didn’t know me from Adam. They liked the free childcare though and the kid herself was sweet.

I don't think you understand how expensive after care can be. Poor white trash's (no offense) family is probably also working.

This was pretty standard behavior for Gen X kids, without the lice. We even had one kid whose mom left a sandwich wrapped in newspaper on the front step for after school, because he wasn't allowed in the house if the parents weren't home. That was an extreme, of course, but all of us seemed to be latchkey kids.
