@@Modernmidgetif you can read you see clearly that’s not what he said. It obviously wasn’t a good choice, which is why he has a mugshot and she doesn’t.
@@Modernmidget even if he PICKED anyone else it'd still be better, becoz he's the BOTTOM GARBAGE! 😂 How can a piece of BOTTOM GARBAGE be any WISE? 😂 You must have failed basic vocabulary classes! 🤣
@@lovebearextraordinaire1.069 I didn't say recovering alcoholic, so don't take it so personal. If you think it is ok to watch someone if you drunk, please don't have kids or watch them. Yes alcoholism is an illness but having kids is not a right. The child should not be the sober thinking one in the room.
@@barcelonachair6487 It's not personal. I don't drink (at all) or hang out with anyone who does, myself. Can't stand the taste, can't stand the feeling. Also, I never once said it's okay to watch children if you're drunk. You said that. Just now. If treating people this way is what you think is appropriate, negatively (and needlessly) generalizing people with addiction issues while putting words into other peoples mouths just to feel like you're on some kind of high horse soap box, then maybe it's you who should consider not having, or watching, children.
@@lovebearextraordinaire1.069 I said alcoholism is an illness, but I don't act as though this illness just as many others means it makes a person a responsible parent or guardian. That isn't a soapbox stance, that is reality, when kids are raised in dysfunctionally the effects are then placed on the rest of society. Having empathy towards people who have a problem with alcohol doesn't mean you don't raise standards of when people have children. They aren't mutually exclusive. These parents left their child with the grandfather who has a problem. I doubt this was the first time he showed them he was not a sound thinker. Your issue is that I am sitting on my my soapbox judging others? The child ended up in an homeless encampment with a stranger. This is not healthy or normal. The child will probably have abandonment issues when she is older. This is the issue. her health and well being. her grandfather is jail, and her parents are no where to be found.
For “human traffickïng” as well 🙄 If he really thought that he shouldn’t have left her with them, but just shows you how little he cares. Even if he did believe that, he still left her anyways.
She could've easily ended up with someone just as bad as the Grandpa, if not worse. It's a miracle that she wound up with someone both compassionate and more or less stable.
So this grandfather essentially tried to frame this homeless lady for kidnapping? He really just thought "my word over this homeless woman's, because i think so"
Yeah I think that's pretty much exactly what happened. Maybe realized he shouldn't have done that and tried blaming someone else for his inadequacies as a human being.
Not necessarily. He was drunk out of his mind, so when this woman recognized that's he's a danger to his own grand kid and thus retreated with the kid, his drunk mind translated that as kidnapping
A word of advice: if you find a lost child, or an abandoned child, or a child gets "abandoned" in your care, call the police. Do not go around looking for the parent, guardian or family member. As in this case, that adult could assume the child was kidnapped, in which case you'd be in for the hassle of your life if you're caught with the child. At least call 911 so there'll be a record of you having attempted to find the child's parents.
Yeah, and she clearly vouched for the woman and against her grandfather for the lady to same day be on the street able to speak with reporters. They don’t take kidnapping lightly, if the girl had said even one thing that indicated she was not left in the woman’s care by the grandfather she’d have also been cuffed.
She deserves an award. She deserves money for her award. She also deserves your guys's help to get her a place to live a job and possibly get her into school. That should be in a great award for her right there. She saved a child literally saved this child that should be recognized.❤❤❤
Yes but I've worked with the homeless and most are not homeless simply because they don't have a home. Lots have mental health issues and addictions that prevent them from working, let alone staying housed. At the very least and to start she should get priority for GOOD help that she needs, if any.
I said same thing in my head then saw your comment. Highly agree with you. A person with a good soul like that , to take care of a random kid she doesn’t know deserves a lot better than being homeless. We don’t know her story but shouldn’t matter. We do know she took care of a helpless kid who could have been took by a random criminal.
@Bando-fx4mf It should matter. Don't get me wrong, it's great that she took care of that child, but let's not be quick to give her a home, job, schooling, etc. We should know what made her homeless (likely mental health) and address that so she can take full advantage of those other things that, yes, I believe she deserves. Source: used to work with the homeless, MOST cases aren't solved by just giving them a home, job, etc.
Drugs made her homeless. If she gets clean she has a home, vehicles, people that love her, A CHILD, but her words are “I enjoy living in a tent with no responsibility, living the simple life” She should have thought that BEFORE she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and then chose the streets. She has so many resources at her fingertips, but likes meth better.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how chill this woman is about the whole situation? All dropped in her lap. She is keeping the kid supervised, has communicated with drunken grandpa, and decides to keep the kid safe. Wait and see what may need to happen. It's only an emergency if she can't keep the kid safe. Probably for the best, grandpa lost custody, permanently.
I'm sure that woman's situation she's very accustomed to things being uncomfortable or rough. Remaining chill is probably a natural reaction along everything else that she faces
@@michaelangellotti4773 ummm I think making the connection between being a drunk who drives drunk isn’t that crazy. Now you’re argument… c’mon. Use some logic when you’re trying to call other people out for being illogical
I knew a drunk grandfather of a severely autistic 4 year old. While he was getting drunk with his friend, the little boy wandered into the woods at night. A neighbor who found him was pounding on my door with the kid screaming. SMH.
It's good that she was there to take care of the child responsibly😮 it's too bad no one's there to take care of her in her time of need.😊 May the cycle of good in her life start now❤
She has people that have and would help her if she got off drugs. She won’t. Her choice. She just got a new car a couple weeks ago and already traded it to the streets. The life she lives is all hers and she likes it that way.
Yes, where I live, there's at least one death every summer of a child whom is left alone outside a bar, casino, or strip club while the guardian is inside.
It makes sense to include in the story since she had taken the child back to where she was staying. I think that probably helped her, she was technically still on public property and hadn’t taken the child into a private residence.
What a LOSER! Even More pathetic is that the parents were that desperate to leave their baby girl with a man who looks questionable in demeanor as being trustworthy in the first place. The parents should be investigated too. SMH
What makes you think the parents were desperate? Most likely, they are just good for nothing trash. They can’t take care of their children but they can breed. Sick.
I’ve noticed that adults do not care for children properly anymore. They are narcissists and feel that kids are in their way instead of seeing kids as they are, a blessing. Poor child. Crazy. Sick
Men don't protect women and girls. Period. This is an EXCELLENT example of that. He literally dumped his little granddaughter on a homeless woman - not knowing anything about her - then tried to subject her to being arrested because he wanted a WOMAN to take the fall for him being an alcoholic. I PRAY someone reaches out and helps this lovely lady. This is a awful situation to be in, but I'm glad she and the little girl are safe.
Poor kid, glad that woman was there too. Thankfully, it happened to be a good person..I hope the lady finds a home and the parents do something nice for her for making sure their child was safe
I was homeless for years, traveled and such. Homeless people are not typically bad people, especially the women. They're just out there trying to survive, they don't have the family support to keep saving their a$$, kinda like this idiøtic grandfather probably has. I got treated way better and looked after way better on the streets, than dealing w my own fckass dad. For real. They're not bad people all the time...they just got dealt a bad hand.
Wow. That is crazy. I am so glad this woman helped this little girl. I hope the girl has family who will take her in. If the grandfather has custody and doesn’t want her I know my husband and I and our kids would adopt her. So sad.
Yes. It was very fortunate that he gave the little girl to a good person. I wish there was more info about this child’s fate as far as her being safe going forward.
What about the mother who left this child with an untrustworthy drunk of a grandfather? Where was she? Working? Out drinking too? If she was working, the community needs to step up and help her.
I hope this woman gets the care she needs. Definitely a kind person who deserves a helping hand herself. At least a few nights in a hotel and some clean clothes and some money for food.
Poor kid thank god for this woman homeless or not he made the right decision in leaving his granddaughter with her another homeless person this could have possibly been a whole different story ‼️ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
He should’ve been charged for filing a false police report, too. That woman could have easily been put in danger if a police officer decided to handle it more aggressively.
Years and years ago kids just got left in the car while mom but mostly dad would just go in and drink the night away. I remember it not common but not rare.
I could go inside sit down. Drink a strawberry soda and wait for my dad to be done. We also used to buy cigarettes and alcohol with a note and some cash
That woman should be given an honorary award and hopefully a job with the local government or police department. She not only was a good adult that kept the child safe from predators that might actually kidnap her but she immediately “returned” her knowing the situation was gonna be confusing and didn’t panic. Please 🙏 I hope she is gonna be okay and off the streets soon.
The fact he said human trafficking for a 7 year old and not a run away or kidnapped seems very specific. I hope the did a medical check on that poor baby.
Who is the mother that thought the grandfather would be okay to leave her daughter with? Chances are she has as much of a problem as he does. Whatever the case she'd better take better care of her kid. Come on people!
@@richard7479 Did I say Chicago is a safe place and crime isn’t an issue? I said you have never been there because I can always tell MAGAs using Chicago as their target for hatred of Democrats and making it out to be this cesspool of crime when in reality, you don’t read actual statistics of crimes in red states and other cities. Do your research I am a Chicagoan and survived 64 years in that city - downtown. I had my purse stolen once when I was 19. That’s it. You people make it out to be something it’s not and you have never set foot there or if you have, it’s with your tail between your legs. You don’t know anything about Chicago.
This woman is a hero! Let us as a community support her and reach out our hearts and hands of kindness to do so! She deserves this! God put that woman in that little girl's path that day! A fate much worse could of happened to little girl -killed in drunk driving accident or left alone or with a real monster or worse! Give this woman our love and support! ❤❤❤
I think he definitely paid her so he could go get drunk then panicked when he couldn't find them later so he called 911 thinking they'd believe his story over a homeless person's story. Thank God a good person was the one who had her instead of someone with bad intentions. Being unhoused doesn't mean they're bad people. They usually have more integrity and generosity than people with way more than them.
