She used to advertise on BP.  I saw her a few times. She's 27 now.  She hasn't advertised in months  Yes, she had told me she liked animals and she wasn't kidding.  I ran into her sister who told me she actually traded her baby for a dog a few years ago.  

She's had 4 other kids all with different fathers.  (Those kids she kept).  She doesn't smoke or use drugs but she drinks.  She lives in a disgusting roach filled apt complex with drug dealers all around.  She's now with a new sketchy guy probably working on baby #6.   Her 5 year old was mildly injured because she failed to supervise him.  

Is she mental?  Brain dead stupid?  Am I because I think about this a lot and when I think of her kids having to grow up with this it makes me despair?

Unfortunately, many ladies can't seem to pull themselves out of poverty. With five kids, it would be tough. It sounds like there is a long list of issues this lady will need to overcome to better her situation. I hope she finds the help she needs
