Forum Post: Where is Mom and What Is That Awful Smell?

WW is a small rural town in Upstate New York.My partner is a truck driver who was in town a few days ago when he was pressed into service to help a local family man repair a well pump.When he got there,the man was clearing out all types of miscellaneous items,trash and junk from a barn and hurling all of it onto a bonfire.The trucker was able to rescue a very large bundle of nylon rope that was unopened.It would cost 70 bucks at Tractor supply,and the guy was gonna burn it.Also rescued was a brand new jumbo sized Salamander in need of a minor repair.In the other barn are 2 horses.and a pony.These animals are never fed or watered and are starving to death.While the truck driver was there,the pony escaped and threw itself into a rocky,steep sided ravine and had to be rescued.One of the 2 horses can't possibly live much longer because its teeth have not been maintained and it can't eat,even if the God of Horses sends it some food with a Horse Miracle.The man was clearing out the secondary barn so he can get...more horses.Inside the mobile home,a coating of grease covers every surface,and dust has settled upon it,creating a substance called by Jews shmutz.The entire trailer is filthy and disorderly in the extreme.Pizza boxes,fast food garbage-no evidence of cooking.There are guns&ammo everywhere.The 4 children are ages 4,3,2,and 6 months.The house is filled with flies,the children are crusty dirty,clothes stiff with dirt.Over a 3 hour period Mom never was seen,although she was audible talking on a cellphone in a bedroom.The smell of urine from unattended diapers was like a punch in the face upon entry,and caused a severe headache to the truck driver.There is so much more I could describe,but that's it in a nutshell,FYI..The children were silent and motionless in front of the teevee.I wonder if anyone ever talks to them? Somehow I would tend to think not.What must the children be thinking?
