You've been there a few years and I would think it unlikely you have a home in, or have even talked with anyone who lives in one of these areas..
Don't assume I didn't live there..(I lived there for over 12 years..) When I did it was with the specific purpose of changing the lives of people in these areas. And not just NYC; I travelled all over the USA as part of this project.
Think the issue here is not about the mother but about the baby. What will happen if it does not get funds for what it needs such as milk and nappies? Why is it being punished for the sins of the mother?
The other issue is this is total against human rights. In Europe this would contravene the European Bill of Human rights big time, in as much as one mother with a child born before coming on welfare gets preferential treatment over another who had a child once on welfare.
Think there are better ways of saving money than hitting on single mums..
Whether Sai Baba was a god or simply a fraud is immaterial now. He is out of our physical world and we will never know.
I tend to think the good outweighed the bad so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I suggest we let the controversy his so called 'miracles' be buried with him and we can all move on.
