tired from helping neighbors battle ACS for their daughter who was snatched from them 4 days before her 2nd Bday over cultural differences
and then because ACS took away the child the family is no longer eligible for family housing so they are being evicted and put on the street
and then predictably the dual diagnosis grandmother (mother of the mom) reacted to the stress by turning to sex-n-drugs-n-rock-and-roll
and then high & partying with her new "man" grandmother lashed out further by turning on the younger children still at home
and because of the ruckus the and screaming the neighbors called the police, sadly it was the dumb, vicious and corrupt 77th precinct
and then the police reacted by threatening the children (ages 4 to 17) who were being beaten with arrest if they didn't shut up
and then they put the eldest of the children, a pregnant 17 year old out of the house and onto the street or face arrest
and then she showed up her face and arms all swollen, split lip etc, (the baby ok though) sobbing at my house at 2 in the morning
welcome to Crown Heights Brooklyn!

life in these times
