Careless Article

Posted on Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 9:18 AM

Jeers to the column that prints "The most appreciated thing you can do for locked-up parents? Give toys to their kids, then tell the inmates all about their sons' & daughters' reactions. It'll help Junior work out his anger over the fact that Dad is stuck in Walla Walla doing 25 to life." I just returned from delivering presents to 2 children whose dad is in jail & they have no one else. It was not toys that these children asked for, it was underwear, socks, & soap. I'm not finding humor in these children's living situations or the fact that their dad is in jail & reaching out for help for his kids. Anyone who found this bit of the article funny should go pay a visit to "angry jr", & they will see this isn't really an appropiate thing or time of year to be poking fun at an inmate's child.
