I'm guessing you don't hang around truly poor people very often. The fourteen-year-old kid whose aunties (lesbian couple) wanted him to have a better life when they realized that he could not read and had been in a special education classroom his whole life where he was basically acting as additional childcare. Mama, an on and off again addict, was of the attitude that it was school's problem. Rotten teeth? Somebody else's problem. His iPad? Looks like sis stole and sold it. Filthy clothes? Clean them yourself, kids, because mom is working. Sister is in special ed too. Neither kid makes it to school often. Kid starts to make progress on reading and what happens? Homeless Dad comes in. He's sired about 14 kids now with various women. Must have a big one. So this toothless POS tells his son that learning to read is a suckers' game and that he'll teach the boy to fix cars like dear old Pa and that living on the street just ain't so bad. And the college educated aunties? Horrified by all of this, heartbroken, and unwilling to call CPS because it would turn the entire family against them.
So the solution is to cut the dad's balls and dick off. Just leave a hole for peeing. Then incarcerate his ass for child abuse. Take the kids away from mom and put them in some kind of military boot camp, because they're currently future welfare mom and thief. I mean, the boy already started stealing and getting in fights thanks to dad's return.
So yeah, poor people are quite often just awful. And that's not me even talking about the homeless druggies and derelicts next to my office. Absolutely awful. And that's not even me talking about the online former "friend" who squandered every opportunity that came his way because, deep down, he thinks he's better than everyone.
