These kinds of stories are depressing. That poor child (and surely hundreds of thousands of similar cases) being tortured almost to death by the only people in the world that one would expect to ALWAYS look out for them. Sickening. WTF is wrong with people??



Many people have no idea how many children born into welfare environments are nothing other than profit generators for the welfare parents.

They are literally nothing other than a way to bump up their handout amounts.

And I get it, we shouldn't "punish the kids" for what their parents are doing, but this train HAS to be stopped somehow. It's one of these cut off the foot to save the leg situations.

Seems to me like the parents are doing a pretty going job of "punishing the kids" themselves.:hmm:

Honestly I think kids being raised in that sort of environment is far worse than even group home situations.

But there's no way to convince a modern progressive of that.. They feel like a youngster seeing their parents manipulate the system is a perfectly fine environment.

Starting with your family, we have enough dipshit rednecks in this country.


Rednecks are a proud people, who refuse welfare unless absolutely required, and certainly don't pop out kids for governmental financial gain. Maybe you mean just trash people in general?

It's hard to read through the lines of your glaring racism and bigotry, you need to be a bit clearer with your posts.

Or are you two trying to make out like rednecks are white people? Again, you all need to be clearer with your hate speech.


Rednecks come in all colors, just like thugs come in all colors.

And just like welfare abusers come in all colors.


It's really not healthy from a societal perspective to make this about race. It's not a race issue, it's a society issue.

This is absolutely false, in fact whites make up 42% of the poor but take 69% in welfare and government assistance and benefits as compared to minorities. The majority of whom are in the southern regional states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, etc. They are generally in the poorest areas and are your typical rednecks.

By which I assume you are including Medicare and SS right?

to combine social security with food stamps and welfare is obviously being disingenuous.

You really don't see a difference between a government program that is suppose to function essentially as a pension and one that is suppose to bail out people that fail at life?

Wait wut?? lmao.. no redneck is a term that refers to a white person in the south and rural areas, typically in farm related areas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck

Are you trying to make up your own definition now?

There are several studies that site there are more welfare and food stamp recipients who are white, most of whom recently are in urban areas now. Not just on social security programs.

This is FOX news pew research center and is inaccurate. Go to the census bureau or to a government website and do your research there. The Pew Research is a biased research site for Fox News and conservative pundits.

Bwahahahah, fox news pew research center? LOL, you really are delusional. Those are simply facts. Now if you want to get into a discussion as to why the facts are what they are (ie, the underlying causes for the percentages), that's a perfectly fine topic for a thread, but the facts are what they are.

Atheism is a religious stance. And a black person can absolutely be a redneck. We have a guy in my town who drives a shortbed chevy pickup with a big rebel flag on the front... Black as burnt umber too.

Stop being racist.

I don't care what wikipedia says.

Redneck is, at least in my area, not anything based on race. It's more of people who are prideful of southern culture. They drink sun brewed sweet tea, they enjoy bbq on sunday, they're a proud and respectful people. They tend to not care for loud mouth new yorkers.
