Helping the children

I've been buying some hats and gloves for some needy children at Tiana's school. Everyday when I took her to school I noticed that a few of the children had no hats or gloves on, even though it was very cold outside. I asked the teacher's aide what the deal was. She told me that most of their parents smoke and drink beer, so there isn't enough money left over to buy them proper winter gear! I couldn't believe my ears, so I decided to do something about it. I've taken care of three or four children so far and still have a couple to go. I just cannot understand how cigarettes and beer come before your children's needs. To me, this is just another form of child abuse. I wish that they'd outlaw cigarettes. I see parents all the time driving around with their windows rolled up, smoking and small children in the car with them! In California, where we used to live, people are starting to wise up about cigarettes, but not over here in Michigan. This is really sad and bad for the children of these parents. This is something you should not teach your kids to do, yet sadly some people just don't care. Please play video below.
