    District Attorney William Fitzpatrick blames the victims for the state and county’s failures.

    He can go fuck himself.

    The couple had recently been evicted from their home because of unpaid rent, Fitzpatrick said. He said while he didn’t blame the landlord for what happened, more could have been done to inform the family of housing services in the area. At the same time, county executive staff members had made arrangements for the family to stay in a hotel, he said.

    “This could have been avoided,” Fitzpatrick said. “Housing is an issue in Onondaga County, but there were options available for them short of living in that car.”

      Victim blaming, so got right now.

      there were options available for them short of living in that car.

      Yeah buddy? State them out loud. What are the options? No hand waving: what is the place to go for a homeless toddler to have a safe experience?

      Cause I can only think of 1: home.

        Well the toddler could have taken a job at the asbestos mines instead of slacking?
