My idiot kid dated a girl in college who had poor parents and she would do medical trials to make spending money - I found out about all this years later. She had just turned 18.
Anyways she had to do a blood test for some drug they had her taking and as soon as they tested her blood she became a VIP there. Not sure what was great about it since she was half black, but they started having her come in ever 20 days to give a pint of blood and we're paying her $300 for it.
She kept doing it for a few months then they moved her up to every 15 days, then 10, still paying her every time, so she was all about it. But she started getting sick more often and was tired all the time and sleeping 14-15 hours a night and missing classes.
She asked to cut back to once a month or every other month and they refused. She said she would quit and then her teachers started pressuring her to keep doing the trials because it was good for her grades.
She was super stressed and started smoking a lot of marijuana to cope. My son dumped her around then because he said she became a zombie and was useless. We didn't hear anything else because she wouldn't talk to him after that. But he said he saw her a few months later and she was bone skinny and looked lost.
This was at a huge public school in the north east.
My dumbass parents tried to tell me to do the same thing for money when I was young and poor. I was like "Be a science experiment for a few bucks while they make thousands? No way."
It was probably for the best your son didn't get deeply attached. He could've been damaged by her actions later on.
best for his son that he didn't save the poor girl? this selfish mentality is what got us here. it's unfortunate the kid didn't know better and help her extract herself from the depravity. being that young i don't suggest he should have known but i am boggled one would cheer his son getting away from this
I met some cool homeless people outside my church and gave them some food around Christmas, just driving around. I go to a small church.
It's sad. There are some young men and women so addicted to drugs they lose everything. I have no idea how you help them unless they help themselves.
Some people just don't want to work and want handouts. Also, with Brandon in the White House, and hyperinflation I think poverty levels are only going to get worse.
you buffoon. this was someone that was in the kids life and he presumably cared for unless he was raised a psychopath (nothing to indicate this kid wasn't grounded based on parent's sensibilities). I have helped many people I know that were in trouble including needing a place to stay so gfy. this isn't about helping strangers although there's nothing wrong with that. I'll wait for your argument why we shouldn't help those around us. you're probably a selfish pos that only looks out for yourself. you'd make a great liberal
Yes, he should have kidnapped her to keep her safe while taking on medical tyranny at his college. Are you kidding? College kids today wear masks and demand safe spaces and you somehow think it was this young man’s duty to conquer the world in the name of protecting a failed relationship? Hopefully you are no longer boggled.
just curious what her "blood type" was, and it may not relate to this girl's story at all, but in the '80's, a large place where i worked had a "blood donation drive", so i donated blood...at that time, they would "type" your blood and give u a card with your blood type on it...the assistant seemed a little too excited to let me know that i had O-neg blood, the universal donor blood...so that organization called me about every two or 3 weeks, and i kept turning them down, damn vampires...moved outta state a little later, and have never donated blood again...keeping my blood, also now nonvax "pureblood" for myself, family or someone in desperate need...can't be too careful these days, with changing values of "various personal commodities"

Fucking sick. I feel bad for that girl.

There are plenty of homeless people in your vicinity ... right now.
Why don't YOU take a few into YOUR home ... TODAY?
Lemee guess ... your self-righteous indignation about what someone ELSE did or did not do ... somehow does not apply to YOU?
Amiright?

Sometimes you just have to deal with reality as reality presents itself.
Your an idiot.stay in that big white castle kid couse life is gonna hurt when you get out of school
"I found out about all this years later"
Do you have a time machine?
Idk why your kid is an idiot for escaping that relationship. Sometimes it’s good to get away from that type of relationship.
He's an idiot for other reasons.
You're mistaken. We're not paying her $300 for it.
It was probably tax money so…. We in fact did pay her.
I was using voice to text, it should say they're
