Help me understand...
My neighborhood is primarily Catholic with some jewish folks and other christians sprinkled around.Recently a neighbor started circulating an email about a group home that was slated to move into the neighborhood.

The babies would be put in foster care and the moms would go to some other care facility afterward. There would be…See More
