Last year I saw a homeless lad looking for leftovers at a fast food restaurant in Perth. I gave him a few dollars on the proviso he use it to buy a meal. He thanked me graciously and bought his meal. Then one of the workers came over me and attempted to explain why I shouldn't have given him any money, "I work hard for my money and pay my taxes, why shouldn't he?...blah blah blah". I told him to mind his own business, get lost and pray he doesn't find himself or a family member on the streets. How can anyone pretend to judge anyone else without knowing their story?

Lesley, I agree the teacher didn't need to know. You've made an assumption there are "henchmen" involved. The child deserves to be judged on his behaviour, not the father's crime.

Typos abound in the story of that poor kid. The child should be judged on her performance and behaviour not her father's crime.

When I was a teenager (no comments, please!) I gave my hat and scarf to a beggar in a city centre. It had been snowing and the poor girl's teeth were chattering. Suddenly, an irate bloke appeared, calling me stupid because, 'She's probably a scam merchant with more money than both of us put together.' I told him he was a flipping fool... or words to that effect!
