For context, she had a babysitter coming in the mornings to check in, make lunches, get them off to school, and prep dinner for them. All the 14 year old had to do was help them get inside after school. Microwave dinner. Get kids in bed and text mom updates. This was a work trip and they threatened to fire her if she did not go. The father has abuse charges and the police handed him their kids on top of arresting her.

Why exactly should women have kids in a world that despises them for it and yet demands they make kids anyway? What is the point?

Oklahoma kids are allowed to be home alone at the age of 10. Long as they can use a microwave and can cook mac and cheese. (Told to me by CPS when my kids mother had issues due to her depression and kids couldn't stay with her for some time.)

But speaking of Florida didn't I read a fucking story of mom getting arrested when kids were playing alone in their own yard? So don't think that state has room to talk.
