Sometimes I don't know what to make of the world and what happens within it. The mother could be dead or could be that without any sort of aid just could not do it anymore. Maybe one of the hardest decisions a mother would or will ever face is what is best for the children.

One thing is for sure, at this point we don't know so there is no need to speculate on the whys until the hows are known.

There is one thing I will add to this comment. No matter how you slice the mustard, should the political parties get their way on cutting social services, more of this will occur. No one up there on the hill seems to understand that everyone not rich is only a few steps away from being in the same circumstances.

Maybe what isn't understood is that we face the same type of situation that occurred during the Great Depression. During the Great Depression, 20% of the population had no job. Hoovervilles as they were called, were everywhere. Hoovervilles were homeless people, who could not afford to buy nor rent somewhere to stay and were living in makeshift shanties, often just of cardboard and scraps of wood put together for a roof over the head.

The cause of the Great Depression is often speculated but let me lay one on you here. Mainly because it is the same today but most of us don't see it. Just before the Great Depression occurred, the US was an agricultural nation. It took 20% of the workforce to produce the nations' food. Then came the industrial age. Farmers went from horse and mule drawn plows to tractors and only 2% were needed to produce the nations food supply. They didn't need as many workers anymore. So the farm workers were let go. The jobs moved to the city. The workers were far out into the country. It often took them months to get to the city where the jobs were, only to find that they weren't hiring unless you fit into special skills, like machinery operators. Sort of like today's job market.

Well, we are in the middle of flux again, only this time we are going from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, and the average worker is ill prepared. They are skilled in factory work and that's a job not in demand and those jobs won't be coming back. What they are not skilled at, is information retrieval and dissemination, which are the skills called for today. This is what you are seeing with all the economic problems of today. Because of that, it is likely this gets worse before it gets better, just as in the Great Depression.
