[Nfbmo] Mikaela Is Home

[Dewey Bradley]

What's really sad though is about 5 or so years ago I'm pretty shore.
It was somewhere here in South West Missouri, They gave a little boy back to 
his drug using pairents, because granpairents have no rights in Missouri, 
Well the dad killed his kid, but They will take a baby from a couple just 
for being blind.
The state should spend our tax money going after the ones that are just 
makeing babies just to get more money from the government and not taking 
care of there kids.
But They waste time and money going after blind people who can and will take 
care of there kids.
