Isn't it illegal to hold your child back from school? I thought it was especually if you don't feel like taking them! One of my long time friends has this neighbor that has only had her child in school four times this whole year.. Yes four times!!!! I was on the phone with her today and I heard her son playing with this neighbor's kid who is only six years old. She told me that he's there everyday and I believe her because everytime she calls me this child is at her place playing with her son.(They are only one year apart). Apparently this girl has had three other children taken by child and family services and she hasn't learned yet. When this child was five years old, my friend would come home from grocery shopping to her apartment and see this little kid sitting in the hallway waiting for her to get home so he could play with her son. Also when he was five, he was crossing the street by himself and she would watch him and just shake her head. I asked her why she didn't call the school about this boy or call child and family services again so they could investigate it? It seems like my friend doesn't want to get involved as she said with the side of the law and I can hardly blame her in this case because things are not like they use to be and my friend could get seriously harmed and she has her son to worry about. I also said this kid probably feels like she's his aunt and only family. This appaules me and I don't understand why the school is not seeking reason for this? As for this six year old's reading and writting skills, my friend said he can't read or write! Why does God allow lousy people such as this to have children and the people who can't have children and get refused to adopt that are hard working good pure honest people? I just can't bring myself to understand this?
