They needed to learn to think outside the box.

I'm surprised the HOA wasn't all over that.

It’s California. There’s never been a law they don’t like.

I just take objection to the whole living without electricity and running water, as if that’s somehow child abuse in and of itself, given it’s suvh a recent luxury human beings have, but now it’s inhuman to not have either?

Exactly.

I live in a box too.

But apparently it is a crime if your box isn't luxurious enough.

Sadly the three hots and a cot they get in the jail really will be an upgrade for them.

Living conditions like this are common in countries like Honduras. I've seen it in person and it's hard to fathom. There really is no excuse for a family to live like this in the States though.

It's 2018, no kid in the US should be subject to that just because they were born to shitty parents.

Next child abuse is no internet


Child abuse? How many millions of years have humans lived without electricity and running water? Get fricking serious.

The jails are overcrowded so they release real criminals to make room for the homeless. Makes sense........if you live in Califorgetaboutit.


They should just leave the keys to the cell, like Andy did for Otis.
