I find it sad how some people immediately look down on this mother for selling drugs. It's pretty impossible here in the united states for someone to get a job, food stamps, or general relief, without a home address. Even if she wanted a job, once they saw she had no residence, that chance for a job goes bye bye.
So, what other professions are out there for a homeless person in America? Prostitution? Maybe, but then she'd have a pimp to deal with, and chances are, that situation would be more dangerous to her than option two: drug dealer. Contrary to popular belief, not all sellers are users, but even so, in her situation, homeless mother of a 6 year old, I can't say I'd blame her for partaking in her wares. I know people who have done coke for less (ie), they come from a wealthy family with not a care in the world, yet they're doing coke left and right).
I feel truly bad for this woman. Wanting a better life for your children, last I checked, was considered being a good parent, yet she is being punished for it, with the drug charge being an unfortunate circumstance that I know doubt think is tied to her homelessness and lack of employment. I can't help bt wonder if she had a home, and a job, would she have been selling drugs?
