Thank you, golmgo. I appreciate that.

I have also been in some bad situations, and if I had children, god only knows what I might have done. Wildthing, I think you'd do anything to feed your babies. I know I would now that I have my own. And we just don't know how she may have gotten there. I know lots of people who have fallen on hard times. Here in Tampa so many people have taken to the streets to panhandle. Many more than I have seen anywhere in the past. She may have been laid off, foreclosed on, had a medical emergency in the family and no insurance...we just don't know. And she might have taken to the street because she knew no other way.

One thing is for sure- being arrested won't help her cause. Nor will it stop people from taking to the street when they are in need. Those laws are stupid, harmful, and a waste of public money.

And just purely by circumstance I am not there myself. I thank god every day for that. I wish prosperity on everyone.
