I get addiction, it happens to good families. I can't quite wrap my head around "3-4 years" on the street in their 20s with a kid living with grandparents though.

And she didn’t wake up hearing the lawn mower pass by a few times?
Did they do a tox report on her?

She really had to work hard to be homeless if that's what she looked like.
Addiction is unbelievable.

If she's been addict since her late teens, and is homeless in her mid-twenties, there were probably years of her parents and other family that tried to get her help. She more than likely lied a lot, stole money, and just didn't care for her kid. When a child is involved it's tricky because you want the kid to see their mom, but when mom is so tweaked out all the time it's harmful.
I have an ex who has two kids, one with cerebral palsey, and she refused rehab so much that her parents cut her out so her kids didn't have to witness her antics when she comes around. Last I heard her parents let her have some time with her daughter, and she got high and didn't answer her phone for 24 hours. No one knew where she and her handicapped child were. That is why addicts can't be trusted.

What kind of piece of shite family let’s their daughter be homeless when she has a 9 year old daughter?
I’m sure now they suddenly care about her now that they can try and get a fat lawsuit out of it

Obviously, I feel bad for the girl and her daughter, but I also feel terrible for the mower. It seems like the guy was just doing his job, and no one just wilfully lays around in tall grass. Laying in/passed out in tall grass coupled with not hearing it means she was most likely high as a kite and passed the frick out.
Also, the parents can kick rocks. Saying it was "disrespectful" is complete bullcrap. She's your child -- apparently, you didn't care enough to take her in and/or get her help. Piss off.

Don't hurt yourself trying to wrap your head around things.
I'll try to lay out a plausible scenario to help you. She knew her kid would be fine/better off at grandma's, which also means she knew she had a place to go as well if she truly wanted- she did not want to. The brother said "she just wanted to be free," which means she made her decision known to her family- mom and dad had come to terms with it after trying to help her and decided all they could now was raise her daughter, hope she survives, and comes out the other side one day.
OR- They are evil fricks, fricked up the daughter, hated being parents, reluctantly took the granddaughter in, but fully intend to frick her up too cause it's fun.
I'm not saying either is the truth, but which one can you wrap your head around more?

I’m sure they’re working on setting up the GoFundMe even as we speak.

If the guy was using a batwing type shredder like the highway department he probably never saw her. I feel worse for the worker than anybody else. He is probably devastated. Just doing his job and unwillingly got pulled into a persons poor life choices and a family who couldn’t be bothered by their child’s dire situation.

Why wasn’t she sleeping where her father, sister, or daughter was? Why are they so concerned now and not while she was sleeping in a field?
The first scenario probably costs them money helping her.
The second way opens up litigation to try to profit off her demise.
I can hear them now---"OH, the mental anguish over the imagery of my daughter/sister/momma getting killed that way keeps me up at night".

I'm sure they are posturing to get paid in some capacity from this, but honestly with the amount of money that is given away to people who don't deserve it for absurd reasons - your daughter being run over by a lawn mower probably doesn't rank that highly on the this offends me meter. Is it right? Debatable. Is it going to be used to build a 37 million dollar shoelace sculpture or pay people who failed the teachers exam instead? Most likely

A loser? I'm trying to understand how your view of the world would cause you to think I am a loser because I'm helping my gf raise her two grand daughters because their mother is strung out on dope....... but I'm unable to understand that degree of idiocy and lack of reasoning.
You should eat shite and die.

Anybody that has done much bushhogging or cut hay in the summer has undoubtedly run over a fawn. I always feel a little sick when I realize I just chopped up bambi. I can’t imagine realizing those chunks weren’t bambi, but a person.
