The homeless mother's child story was disturbing
Trump never said what happened to the mother.
Sickening.
A little bit of the story:
"Holets met Crystal Champ and her partner, Tom Key, shooting up heroin behind a convenience store in September. Champ, 35, was eight months pregnant and living in a tent alongside an Albuquerque interstate."
"Baby Hope suffered through nearly a month of heroin and crystal meth withdrawal but is now doing well."
"Holets, who received a city award for his actions, has tried to convince them to take advantage of this opportunity to get the help they need."
"He's my personal angel on Earth here," she (Crystal Champ) said. "I don't know where he came from, but I'm really happy, I'm really happy he's here."
"Holets refuses to give up. His ultimate goal from the moment he offered to adopt baby Hope was to get her parents sober and in a recovery program. He says he won't abandon them and he won't walk away."
https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/15/health/police-officer-adopts-opioid-newborn-next-chapter-btc-beyond-the-call-of-duty/index.htmlBased on the news reports, there have been several attempts at getting these people into rehab which have failed, but they may finally be getting treatment. Officer Holets has been instrumental in trying to get these people help. Which makes him one of those good cops that the DUmmies believe are elusive as unicorns. But this is DUmmyland:

1. who cares - just an incubator for the nice cop family
Cop saves infant from almost certain death and tries to help the homeless parents get off drugs. Who cares? Apparently Kali doesn't.

5. It was sooo disturbing- he ran home to tel his wife he could get them a baby easy and cheap I guess?
What the ever loving ****? I hope someone does a follow up on the mom. **** those people.
**** them for taking in a drug addicted newborn. And everyone knows that detoxing an infant that may have developmental issues is a cheap and easy decision to make.

7. They probably pressured the mom into it, agreed not to press charges and maybe get a
Friend to find her placement at rehab or a few grand to go away. Much much cheaper than going through normal channels. I guess the wife had enough after pushing out four of them. And yeah, it’s like the depression when people sold their kids.
Attack the mother who has had four children. Support the mother who is a heroin addict.

15. So, his first instinct was to take the baby. And he needs to keep in touch until the adoption is
final. While it’s nice he’d like to adopt, it’s not cool that it’s an addict he’s personally putting pressure on and supporting. If she’s not being bribed, I don’t know what else to call it. If he really had hoped for the parents he’d be fostering, I think.
Yeah, you stupid asshole, the first instinct is to protect the innocent. And they are not being bribed, they are being offered help.

17. His first thought of concern was for the baby- he admittedly hated the poor he worked among....
So forgive me if I don’t think he cares about that couple nearly as much as he does their signatures on the papers later in the year.
There are certainly many people who have been wait listed for babies for adoption, so it is hinky that this man who’s admitted first thought was “gimme that baby” was able to jump the line. It’s bizarre. And yeah, I doubt he became a good man overnight after literally hating the folks he worked for- especially at such at young age. He sounds like quite an asshole.
So, a cop saves a newborn and is attempting to help her homeless drug addicted parents. That obviously means he's an asshole.
Kali and bettyellen are part of the feminazi group over there, so they were disappointed the baby wasn't aborted. SHRED is just an idiot.
