Child plays at park while parent works....

How about we find this kid's father and arrest him...something tells me he's not busting his butt all day to feed his child like her mother is.

It doesn't say anything about him, but that statement is pretty offensive.

It sounds like you have an ax to grind with non-custodial parents. You can't just assume that the father has nothing to do with this kid and doesn't pay support. He could very much want to be a part of the child's life, and this screwup by the mom might open the door for him to modify custody.

I read nothing of the father in the story. I have no problem with him having responsibility as well if he's co-parenting the child.

I think the bigger point, however, is breaking the cycle that's potentially put a child in danger on a daily basis.
