Bugs crawling around in the manufactured home the boys live in


Tonight's new episode was a real eye opener. Did you see the bugs crawling around in that dumpy manufactured home the two brothers live in? Did you check out mom's piercings on her face? I'm thinking these particular parents procreating is a big part of the problem.

Yea that was pretty gross kinda made me feel bad for them.

I noticed that too. IMO, that is a form of child abuse. That house was filthy and crawling with bugs. Those poor kids don't have a chance.

I also felt sympathy for those boys.

OMG was that sick. To see that many cockroaches in the middle of the day is insane. They must get eaten up alive at night, there must be millions upon millions of cockroaches. Those kids should be taken away until that place is cleaned up. Just because your poor doesn't mean you have to be filthy dirty.

Then the black kids couldn't even talk right. They had to use subtitles for the one kid. No one has to be that poor. You can live better than that on welfare. If there is no jobs than they need to move, even if they have to live on the streets or in a shelter until they build up enough money for a deposit and such. The 2 white parents could both get min. wage jobs and live much better than they are living.

I grew up in Detroit and seen some poor families and kids but the families and kids in the Georgia episode were bad. Just sickens me to see kids growing up like that. No wonder they act out and such, it's really sad.

It made my stomach turn. 

I find it laughable that this show doesn't hold half the parents accountable.


One episode had a sister, tell her brother that just went thruoug the program, [paraphrase] "you don't want to be like mom, passing out drunk, dringking all day" That line alone made me realize how some of the parents are at fault for the kids.



I don't let anyone hot-comb out my HAIRitage!

You're absolutely right GordonGartrelle. I say the exact same thing. Some of the parents are part of the problem.

One who lacks the intelligence needed to figure out how to reply properly [read: you] should definitely refrain from calling anyone else an "idiot."
