If true, why didn't family make sure their pregnant relative could eat on her way home. I guess that story didn't stink to this fool at all did it?
Now, I know as well as anyone what it's like to have family who don't give a hoot and to be a person who doesn't know how to ask for help. Thank the good Lord I never found myself pregnant as a very young woman--times would have been really bad and I would have been really alone. I would suspect though if someone actually did have 'family' who were willing to take you in and help you out as a young pregnant woman that they would at the very least make sure you had safe travels to get to them. If this story is true, something tells me that same young lady will be out there today panhandling for money again. It's an old scam too by panhandlers that they are on their way somewhere and their car is broken down or out of gas or they are hungry and only have money for x, y, or z. They also know how to play on the compassion of people and present themselves as pregnant or drag their own or other people's children with them to amp the story up.
And every 20 something hippie wannabe always makes their route to Florida. Their intention is usually to hook up with a bunch of other hippie wannabes down in the Keys--their favorite mainstay when it's too cold to travel the RennFaire.
Of course, it was probably a fairy tale so that this particular dump denizen could join in on the 'oh look at how good I am' action.
