2. Did you read the whole story?

The wife was put into a mental institution and the father is on disability which pays him $400.00 per month.

His daughter is 12 years old and she is reading at a 12th grade level. He has done the best that he can for his child.

5. What I found disturbing, although not overly surprising

.

.

That the man is a veteran,

" The man, who identified himself as Frank, told police he was a 53-year-old Marine Corps veteran and college graduate who served in Vietnam."

The United States taking care of those who served . . .

(sigh)

OH

for those that wish

there's a way to help them . .

"KATU Television has been given permission from 'The Forest Family's' father to set up a college fund for 12-year-old 'Ruthie.'

To make donations for the girl, who for the last four years have lived in the forest and was educated by her father, to 'Ruthie's College Fund’ at any Bank Of America Branch."

"Please, don't take me from my daddy," the girl told the 26-year police veteran as they sat on a log talking for at least 30 minutes.

"What was so clear was that their living conditions were unacceptable, but their relationship was a real deep love and caring for each other," Barkley said.
