You'd be suprised. Many, many are on drugs, but certainly not all. We had a few patients that wouldnt suprise me in the least to sell their children to perverts to get their next narcotic/meth fix or even something as small as a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of liquor to support their habits.
I am quite sure we also had a few who would litterally sell their children in an effort to get rich quick or to simply get rid of them.
There are some good people that are on welfare/government assistance that are legitimately on it and trying to better themselves to get off it. However, with my personal experience working with this population, most of what I saw was sheer laziness, stupidity, no ambition to do/get better, "the world owes me something" attitude, and in a few cases fraud. My former co-workers and I often commented to each other as to where these people got their logic from.
