A few minutes ago, I saw one of the reporters interviewing a woman who lives on a 28 ft. shrimp boat. She, her 3 year old daughter, and her boyfriend are riding it out on that boat in Houmas, LA (sp?).

I personally believe that the police should go take her child away from her and arrest her for child neglect or abuse or something. I am just BOILING over this!!!

What gives???

What do you want her to do? That's likely the only property she owns. No house, no car.

Man, that sounds nuts. I guess they didn't see that 2 people drowned in a Marina in S. Fla. riding out a CAT 1 on their boats!! Sigh......

Maybe she could have at least taken the boat to a safer location, like Texas or something.
