[QUOTE="1905, post: 392318, member: 2668"] Star! You're a good person. I know I wouldn't have been as diplomatic as you are. How do people get food stamps if they are clearly not in need?? We had a student in our class who had about 30 pairs of shoes, I mean UGGS, Timberland boots, Nike, Michael Jordan....every designer brand shoes.( Who puts $100 UGG boots on an autistic 5 year old?) He not only got the free lunch, but was put on a list of a child in need so we (our school) donated his entire Thanksgiving feast, bought Chrismas presents for everyone in his family as well. His mom came to pick up the stuff with these long, manicured dragon nails, braces on her teeth, she was wearing her UGGS too, and wearing designer jeans that cost a fortune. Also he lived next door to my friend and he lived in a 4 bedroom, 250,000 dollar home. I was annoyed, to put it midly, that I had donated food and gifts for this family when my own kids don't have that stuff. At least you's think they would have some shame and not dress like that to collect their scammed stash! (Even if you had lots and lots of money, nobody would buy ANY 5 year old that amount of shoes- they outgrow them so fast!) Where do people get the nerve? At least you said something to her! Maybe something will sink in. [/QUOTE]
