Tough for those families. This is Utah the land of Republicans that don't believe in Social Projects. Yer on yor o'n! Look to the State DCFS office (the biggest social project) for help and they will take your children to a better place, but the ORS will exact its price to pay the new caretakers. Beside's if you give a dirty coal miner a break then you'd have to deal with all the other busness that depend on the mines. There always is the possibility that these are illegals and don't deserve anything. (What's most worrysome is who will pay for the police to keep the peace?
