105. Real "tough love" would be putting her kids in foster care
and her into a job training program until she got herself together. But then they'd be out that $50 a month donation.

I don't see how cutting off contact between the children and the rest of their family helps. There's no reason to assume that every visitor to the shelter is planning to do a home invasion robbery. Even hospitals and prisions have visiting hours, mainly because they're good for the detainees' morale.
