Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services (DCS) told FOX 17 News they’ve received calls on this issue and they said it is not only happening in Davidson County, it's happening in other parts of the state as well.

Those nice folks that are so outraged better not go to California. It's extremely common to see people with kids panhandling in the median of a busy intersection.
I was leaving the parking lot of a store with my weed connection one time and saw a mutual acquaintance that I hadn't seen in a couple years since she got strung out panhandling at the exit with a couple young kids, maybe 3 or 4 years old.
"Hey, I didn't know Susan had kids," I said.
Randy laughs and says, "She doesn't. Those are borrowed. Brings in more money."
