You folks are all so very mean-spirited......in my area, it is very hard to get food stamps, every day on the TV they are saying the food banks are empty.....maybe this was this poor woman's last resort to feed her kids.....we can not judge until we have walked in her foot steps. I am a single mother, I work everyday....everyday...and I am still struggling......and I am sure there are plenty out there just like me. Just my opinion, go on ahead with the thumbs down..I don't care because I know what I am going through...just to keep food on the table and gas in my VERY old car...... |

The woman should have a job to BUY that bread. My mom was widowed when i was 7 and my brother was 8 and she never stole. She worked and went back to school while raising two children, it can be done, people just want the easy way out. |

well stealing IS stealing..i mean there are other alternatives like food stamps, wic, maybe the church can help? |

Maybe we should allow every mother to steal...that will teach the children some good morals |

Agreed, but hey the law is the law right...
if a person with no children were to steal bread from a grocery store would your opinion change?
think about that. |

She should go to a food pantry or a church to get food instead of teaching her children to steal.
I wonder if she had a cell phone or cable tv? |

if she was struggling there are programs that single mothers with children, but some people that are struggleing still cant get into any programs, i wouldnt have taken her to jail or taken her kids away |

Sorry but this "single mother" shouldn't be stealing anything. She is a criminal for stealing.
What about the store that she stole the bread from? Don't they have a right to be paid? What right does she have, or anyone have, to get something for nothing? What kind of example is she setting for her children? |

If she really was in need of money and wasnt working she could have been on goverment assistance and had food stamps. There are alos many soup kitchens and other food aid shelters such as churches and local youth groups. You dont have to steal, even bread. But that is a sad story. |

I'm sure they would give her some bread, if she went through the proper channels. There are several community and church based food programs, as well as WIC, welfare and social security. Teaching your children to be thieves is not the way to go. |

That is what welfare is for... and jobs...
sad that she had to resort to those measures and then be arrested for trying to feed her kids, when there are so many 'mothers' who don't... |

Why isn't she and the children on public welfare? If she is what did she do with the money? Where is the kids father or fathers ? Why isn't he or they helping to support the children. |

Although I feel for this family, if she needed help she should have asked for it. There are many food banks and churches that provided assistance to families in need. The government has programs set up for low income families. I'm sure if the manager of the store was given the chance to help this family he/she would have if he/she were asked. When people shop lift it causes prices to go up which makes it hard for other families who are struggling to make it in this world. I feel really bad for this family but the mother should have found another way to get food without having to steal. Its a life lesson for her and now her children are having to pay for her mistake too. |

I think that it is very sad situation. Money is very tight right now for many people, and I know that she was just trying to feed her children, but it is still not okay to steel. That isn't something you want your kids to grow up thinking is okay, it just sets them up for other wrong behaviors in later years.
It's too bad the kids couldn't have stayed with relatives for a little while, as this situation is probably very traumatic for them.
I truly believe in helping people out as much as possible, and I believe that in most cases it is best for children to stay with their parents. It's just too bad that she didn't go to the local food shelf or that she didn't have anyone to ask for help. I really hope that the state offers her some kind of help and support so that her kids are able to return to her when she gets out of jail. It's not the kids fault and they shouldn't be punished by being kept from their mother. She just need a little help right now.
And where is their dad? If he is around somewhere, they should be going after him for child support. Maybe he's the one they need to put in jail. |

You know, I'm a single mother, have been for years, and I have struggles, too. But I have never stolen anything. I have always gone out of my way to ask for help from agencies, and churches without being on food stamps. There are ways to feed your children without stealing. What are you teaching your children by stealing? Maybe she should think about getting help if she can't support the children on her own. Stealing is wrong no matter what. |

You do the crime, you do the time.
There are programs that are able to help mothers who are in need, and one of them is WIC. |

With all the money we spend in government programs there was no excuse for her to steal. If her income is that low she would live better on welfare AND and complete medical coverage for her kids. I hope she rots in jail, she is too stupid to be a parent. |

Yes, I am glad that people are paying the consequences for their destructive behavior.
First of all, she made very bad life choices that ended up in her becoming a single mother.
Second, there is no reason to steal food. Is she such a bad person that she burnt all of her bridges and has no friends or charities or churches or family members she can ask for help.
Third, hopefully this will set an example to discourage single parents and thieves.
I'm glad to hear this bit of good news with all of the false victim hood that we hear about today. |

There is going to be a great food shortest in a few years because of the sun's heat. Rev:16:8-9. will tell you when. You will be surprised when you read it. before you judge a women with three hungry kids for being hungry. wait a few years and you will do the same thing. Jesus said if a man is hungry, he will steal food. proverbs 6:30 Have you ever been without food for a while, God help us, it is closer than we think, it is here NOW. Don't forget about the "water" shortest. |

You need to stop getting caught up on lables. Why do people think the term "single mother" means anything different or should be treated any better than anyone else. What if we changed it to "single mother, part time stripper, addicted to crack gets caught stealing food to feed children?" How would you feel. Stealing is stealing. You can't tell me in this day in age where we give more than any other country, any other group of people on the planet, that this "single mother" could not legally get food for her children legitimately. So stop assisting these crooks, criminals, dope heads, bad parents, and bad people. By speaking up for them, you are enabling the behavior. That makes you an "enabler." Speak up and tell people that behavior is not acceptable. Stealing for any reason is wrong. What does this teach her children? Get a job, get government assistance, go to church, ask for their help. There are a million places for help. Pride should make you do the right thing for right reasons. And if that means asking for help than so be it. People will steal for any reason, just sounds good to say, "I did it to feed my children" and not because " I spent all the money I had on crack, and then later had to steal to keep us fed." |

I THINK THIS IS VERY SAD BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE WOMAN SHOULD FIND A JOB AND ASK FOR SOMEONE TO HELP HER IF SHE CAN'T DO TAKE CARE OF HER OWN KIDS.. WERE IS HER FAMILY?? |

As they say, Vote republican. Because everyone can't be on welfare. It is just a business and they can't make money when people are stealing stuff. |

It's too bad that this poor woman was not in a country like the United States of America, where almost any Christian church would have provided ample food for her and her hungry children. |

food stamps are barely anything and with food prices skyrocketing I am surprised that a lot of people aren't going to desperate measures to survive. And I figure things are gonna get a lot worse to the level of a Malthusian die off. |

If it was a first offense she would not have had her kids taken away. There is more to this story, which you did not post a link to.
Maybe her husband will take her some bread in jail. |

OLD DAYS DON'T APPLY

Maybe people struggled in the old days and could get by - because that's when you worked hard and still had a comparably cost of living.
TODAY, companies are low balling employees on compensation and the cost of living is 5 times. So what was good for the 'goose' 5+ years ago - is NOT good for the 'gander' today.
Just let the lady have some food. There are all foreign cultures in American running the government benefits programs. We talk about how they take care of their own cultures here (extensively) to get free STUFF. However, an American women walks in and tries to get help AND IS PUSHED ASIDE AND DECLINED EVERYTHING.
I was never predigest before. I am now. Only President who will win the next election is the one who will SHUT THE BORDERS AND CLOSE THE VISA'S |
