One of his parents is always missing, gone, not in the picture at all andthe other parent is absent several hours a day and this kid is left on his own, a part timeorphan, not being supervised, or parented at all. We are asking government to step in andbe the missing parent in the single parent household by providing expensive governmentsocial programs.
