I get heartsick just reading about it online. We have a case here in the Metro Detroit area about a woman who left her children all alone in a house for five years and would have someone drop off food for them on the porch every three or four days. They had no contact with people, nobody to care for them, no school, no friends, nothing. I think she's out on bail. They just had a hearing and she was there, hoping to regain custody. Sickening.

God bless you for your work.

And yes, momma cats do rock!
