I whisper softly that people get a stipend from the government for foster-parenting kids.

Take the money, stick the retards in cages and hey, ALWAYS count on the bureaucrats not to do their job.

From Newsnet5:

CLARKFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Nine children found living in cages at a Huron County home may have been living that way for three years.

NewsChannel5 obtained the search warrant issued after a social worker visited the home Friday.

Jo Johnson said she observed cages on the first and second floors of the home on St. John Road in Clarksfield Township near Wakeman.

According to the warrant, the parents, Sharon and Mike Gravelle, said that nine of the 11 kids, ages 1 to 15, were frequently caged for their own protection. The children all have special health needs including, autism, Down Syndrome's and HIV.

The cages were 21/2 feet high and 3 feet long. The document said the there was no room for the kids to stand up. The cages were built with 2-by-4 wooden planks and chicken wire.

It also said that a large dresser cabinet was blocking two metal and wooden cages that had kids inside at the time of the visit.

Johnson said that there was a strong urine smell coming from the home and there was no bedding inside the cages. They contained small rubber mats for the kids to lie on.

The sheriff described the cages as makeshift cellblocks.

Chili Finger Lady Going to Jail
The lovely Anna Ayala and her husband Jaime Placencia both pled guilty to conspiring to file a false claim and attempted grand theft.

Ayala is the lady who claimed to have found a severed human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Said finger belonged to co-worker of her husband. Who "borrowed" the finger for this pathetic scam.

The conspiracy is alleged to have cost Wendy's 2.5 million in lost sales and many low-wage employees lost their job.

All for the lovely Ayala.

The Chili Lady could get ten years for her crime and is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 2.
