Mother of 15 Leaves a 3-Year-Old at Walmart, Doesn´t Notice Until the Next Day
Ohio: 43-year-old Moriyyah Israel has been charged with endangering children after she left 3-year-old Binah at Walmart. She didn´t become aware that she was a kid short until a relative contacted her the next day to say Binah had been on the news.
Walmart security stepped in after observing the child follow some shoppers but not leave with them. Police were called after it was ascertained that the little girl was on her own.
Binah and ten of Israel´s other children have been placed in the custody of Hamilton County Job and Family Services pending the outcome of the first-degree misdemeanour charge. Court documents show Israel is also to be evicted from her residence.
How many kids are still at home? Did she have kids with more than one husband? Is it illegal to have more than, say, nine kids? Do you have a great grandmother who had eleven kids?
By reading some other articles on the same story, I learned that this woman is being evicted. Also,her husband died in ´08. I say we put her in jail and send the kids to state custody, where they can prepare to go to state prison.
I´m sorry but regardless of her circumstances, if she can´t manage to look after her kids then she shouldn´t be allowed to keep them all with her. It´s also pretty selfish to have that many kids in this day and age, anyway.
The full article that the source links to does give some more information. Such as
"This is not the first time the county has investigated the family, Gregg said; however, none of the previous abuse or neglect complaints were substantiated, so the investigations were closed."
Which calls her character into question even with out the child being left behind. There are to many cases of children being abused or neglected where the parent will cover it up on an investigation.
It also says "said two children were placed with an adult sibling, and three aunts took three children each." Which puts her at at least 9 children under 18 in her custody.
Besides all that I could give her a little leeway if she had noticed the child missing. With so many I will give her the chance that she "forgot" exactly what children she went to walmart with and which were, hopefully, being supervised else where. But it says she wasn´t aware of her missing until a relative called the next day. She should have noticed her missing by bed time at the very latest in my opinion.
my grandfather was one of 12 kids. His mother had NO BIRTH CONTROL OPTIONS. She had no choice, this lady does have a choice. She is unbelievably irresponsible and a bad mother.
and it takes a ton of time to make sure they have baths every day, clean clothes, they´re eating right, they have books read to them, the house is clean, etc. Don´t tell me she´s doing a decent job on her own with 15 kids, it´s not possible. Good parents have few kids so that each one gets a good upbringing.
It doesn´t say, but she may be part of the quiverfull movement. Like the Duggars and other fundie parents who refuse to use birth control and actively attempt to have as many children as possible.
@ wicked_one I won´t point out everything at once. Read this again: "This is not the first time the county has investigated the family, Gregg said; however, none of the previous abuse or neglect complaints were substantiated, so the investigations were closed." Perfect huh? No information except an allusion the state gave mom a break. Are you going to accept that?
