Mother of 12 has no thanks for those who help her

[Cuda1447]

I don't care if she is black or white. Do you think at child 9 she could have said... 'hey, wtf I can't afford these kids'. Nah, that'd be to easy. HAVE THREE FUCKING MORE KIDS.

No sympathy here.

Have you ever watched that show? Do you know anything? Or are you just a clown?

 

[bfdd]

Absolute numbers have nothing to do with it. Perception in this stems from black overrepresentation among welfare recipients.

no no no YOUR perception in this stems from black over representation among welfare recipients. see I know most the people on welfare are white, so when i read "welfare" I think "poor person" then I read "florida" so I think "possibly white or hispanic" then I read "plantation" I think "white" then I read "confederacy" and again I think "white" but hey low and behold I was wrong damn. Maybe you should stop assuming shit about people. Just reading the article pasted here and not clicking the link, thinking she is black is just ignorant bullshit. So congrats on being an ignorant piece of shit.

Adams said she wasn't planning on more children, but "whatever God wants to happen is okay with me."

:awe:

 

[palehorse]

And as an aside I bet most of those kids have different daddies haha.

The article says that 10 of the kids are from the same coke-dealing father who is currently in prison. I don't know about the other five though...

Either way, it's fuckin' disgusting... and sad. This woman obviously got stuck on stupid somewhere along the line and now it's up to you and I to pick up the pieces and pay for all of her poor decisions. Swell.

Nothing new though...

I had assumed she was white too... Weird.

hmm...I thought she was poor white trash too. It seems like the AT commies thought she was black and those of us right of center thought she was white.

(Another vote for picturing a white woman when reading the article.)

Poor kids are going to lose another home soon, be relocated and most likely broken up among various foster homes, subjected to repeated attempts to reunite with their mother that won't work out for the same reason they'll lose this house - she's not responsible and taking care of her personal business properly. 12 (15 really, counting the three kids she doesn't have) human beings without a proper stable childhood. So unnecessary.

Yeah, and who the fuck was right. It wasn't the fight of center fascist racists with their massive white guilt, now was it. Every time one of you dudes walk by I can hear you muttering under your breath, the white man is responsible for all evil, the white man is responsible for all evil. You're not satisfied with being worthless. No, you have to be really really worthless and suck all the oxygen out of the universe.

Of course the other reason you right of center types fantasized white was when you heard 12 children your brains went straight to your dicks.

Nope, nothing new at all. It's what happens when one people are subjected to centuries of put downs. They act just like how they were treated. It's going to take a long time to repair people's self respect because even this horses ass doesn't want to know how worthless she feels.

 

[Siddhartha]

Haha, this actually makes me laugh. This is what is really wrong with all of the handouts we give the "poor and downtrodden". Its become a point of entitlement. They EXPECT to be given help and damn you for not helping!

Judge in Tampa scolds mother who shows no gratitude for profuse aid given her and 12 kids

TAMPA — A courtroom full of people who paid off Angel Yulee Adams' debts and found a rent-free, six-bedroom home for her and a dozen of her children waited Monday morning for a sign of gratitude, a clue of cooperation. They waited for a thank you.

They didn't get it. Angel Adams, 37, said she was glad to have the home. But she wanted them all out of her life.

"I've been railroaded since day one," she said.

The state says day one was 21 months and 28 hearings ago, when Adams first landed in the courtroom of Hillsborough Circuit Judge Tracy Sheehan. Ever since then, Sheehan said, the state has tried to keep Adams and her children together.

But Adams lost her home after failing to pay rent to the Tampa Housing Authority, then recently was evicted from a two-bedroom rental apartment. All her things were dumped on the curb. She and 12 children wound up in a small motel room on E Busch Boulevard.

Her situation looked a lot better on Monday, thanks to the combined efforts of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the state Department of Children and Families, Hillsborough Kids Inc., the Children's Home Society and A Kid's Place — which last week gave her a temporary cottage at its shelter near Brandon.

Officials from most of those agencies packed the judge's courtroom Monday to give a status report. Nick Cox, DCF's regional director, spoke for them.

"Everyone has bent over backward," he said. "The mother has been less than gracious."

Hillsborough Kids Inc. volunteered to help cover the more than $6,000 she owes to the Tampa Housing Authority. The Children's Home Society paid the first month's rent for the six-bedroom house and found furnishings. Her rent, adjusted for income and the size of her family, will be virtually nothing, Cox said. He couldn't estimate how much the state has spent on her in the past two years.

The 12 children have been out of school for more than a week, but Cox said Adams appears to be a loving mother. She still could lose her children, he said, if she doesn't work with caseworkers and show the state she is adequately caring for them.

"From a legal standpoint, she's backing us into a corner," Cox said. He asked the judge to tell Adams to "stop complaining and start cooperating."

Judge Sheehan gave her a lecture.

Adams would not have sat through 28 hearings if her kids had been fed, got their medicines and were living in a good home, the judge said. "We know you want us out of your life," she told Adams. "We will be thrilled to close this case when you have all these things."

Adams sat at a table just below the judge's bench, looking away from Sheehan.

"A lot of people have gone way extra miles for you," Sheehan said. "Do you understand that?"

Adams replied quietly, "No comment, your honor."

"Hear what I'm saying," the judge told her. "Reach out your hand to these people instead of looking a gift horse in the mouth and asking for more, more, more."

After the hearing, Adams said she's a proud Florida native, a descendent of David Levy Yulee, a former U.S. senator and plantation owner who built the Yulee Railroad line in North Florida in the mid 1800s and was later imprisoned for aiding the Confederacy. She once worked in a linen factory. She has three other older children, besides the 12 who live with her.

She said her misfortunes began when she scuffled with a sheriff's deputy two years ago. It happened when her 9-year-old son was suspended for bringing a knife to school. She was two months pregnant. After her arrest, she said her troubles snowballed.

The Hillsborough Sheriff's Office removed her children after finding neglect in the home. She got her kids back six months ago, but the father of 10 of them, Garry Brown, was sentenced to five years for a cocaine conviction. Without his help, she said, she fell into debt. Hillsborough Kids Inc. paid the rent for her last apartment.

Adams said she wasn't planning on more children, but "whatever God wants to happen is okay with me."

Outside the courtroom, across the hall, Cox said DCF believes in keeping families together. That's the agency's main mission.

"She is the ultimate test of our belief."

This is another classic example of the Reagan Era mentality. Use one example of a screw up to attack helping people.

no no no YOUR perception in this stems from black over representation among welfare recipients. see I know most the people on welfare are white, so when i read "welfare" I think "poor person" then I read "florida" so I think "possibly white or hispanic" then I read "plantation" I think "white" then I read "confederacy" and again I think "white" but hey low and behold I was wrong damn.

Wow, thanks for sharing your elaborate and step by step thought process. If I didn't know better, and I suppose now I do, I would almost think your incredibly defensive responses and need to explain yourself despite not being specifically called out in my original post would indicate you may have been one of the people I was talking about. I would even think that from the anger of the responses here and the out-of-the-blue namecalling like yours, I might have hit home. But like I said, I suppose I know better now.

 

[ahenkel]

one question I'd want to ask her courtesy of Bill Hicks

"Can you calm down on your rutting just for a couple of seconds until we can figure out this food, air deal?

 

[PingSpike]

I do have some prejudice though. Through introspection, here's how my vision of her shaped up as I read the headline:

Mother...Woman, white, brunette, slightly overweight, about 30 drives an SUV

of 12...same as above only, blonde, pretty fat 35-40, lives in a trailer, cigarette hanging out of mouth, drives a 90s Ford Taurus or Dodge Minivan, dressed in ill-fitting revealing clothes, stupid

has no thanks for those who help her...same as above only, more haggard and addicted to meth.

 

[Mursilis]

It might have to do with where you were brought up to. I knew two "angels" when I was in high school, both white trash.

Funny about those "name stereotypes" - when I hear "Angel", I first think hispanic male, based on my experiences!

 

[Balt]

If she's tired of being pestered, maybe she should try not being so reliant on the charity of others. Charities aren't just going to hand out money and then not supervise how it's being spent. I sort of doubt this woman has much knowledge about the best way to spend money to take care of her children.

Same lol. Honestly the whole racism bit in regards to -which topics you choose to post about- is really lame when compared to actual racism as in someone chucked a brick with the n word on it through my window, or someone refused to hire me. Fact is people will always have different views in regards to each race, but it really doesn't become "racism"(or at the least kind that actually matters off the internet) until you actually try to lower the quality of life specifically against a certain race(s) just for being said race.

Have to admit though that was a good derailing right there.

This is odd.. so did I. Maybe b/c I picture white people in FL more than black people? I don't know why that would be the case, but I think FL is what made me think she was white.

 

[HumblePie]

What made me think white was her quoting that her ancestor was a Confederate plantation owner, senator, and was convicted for crimes in those times of aiding the confederacy. The moment I read this, I pictured white trash, fat chick, living in a trailer park, way too many kids, stupid, addicted to drugs, and with an attitude to make a bulldog seem like a bunny by comparison.
