Homeless Woman Sees Man Shove Crying Kid into a Car, Her Calls for Help Fall on Deaf Ears – Story of the Day
|Jillian begged for money at her usual spot when she saw a man carrying a crying child to his car. No one else paid attention or helped, but she had a strange feeling about that situation. She reported the incident to the police and discovered the truth.
Jillian had been homeless in the city of Los Angeles, California, for a long time. She was used to it, although things were getting even harder for many people. The government did nothing to help others out, and everyone just had to learn to live with it.
