DO you think poor people should not have bikes for their kids?

If a person is so poor they have to get food boxes and get their clothes from clothing banks and have a hard time paying their bills monthly do you think the kids in that family should NOT have a bicycle?



ETA
I don't think this. This was brought up in a conversation by another mom I know who said she didn't think poor people should have bikes because it could be sold to buy food.
I was only asking to see if anyone else thought the same way.

Well Im not on welfare. And like I said I wouldn't sell their bikes or toys. It's different if they didn't play or ride them anymore. There are other ways of getting money with out taking my kids shit away.

Quoting honeyrder:

It's not that much of a stretch that welfare might require it. Means assessment is a bitch. I am always amazed that people are willing to put up with it to get their pathetic little welfare money.

Quoting ambiibooxo:

Why shouldn't they have them? I couldn't take my kids things away to buy food. I would sell all my shit and my fiances shit to get what we need. I wouldnt want my kids to suffer and have nothing to keep them happy.



I kinda to get where that mom is comming from but I still couldn't sell my kids bike

Also ur saying pathetic welfare money. That money does help a lot of people who need it! They have to do what they have to do to feed their families.

Get off ur high horse. No one is perfect. If they need welfare to help out for a while then do be it. It's better than everyone starving.
