I'm a homeless single dad and I've been arrested because people think I've kidnapped my son - it's a hard life, but I wouldn't take a house if it was offered

I was a single father with young children, while I worked full time and went to college full time. It was a struggle, but I wasn't homeless and supported my children well.

When I first entered my children into day care, the day care reported me to Child Protective Services, simply for being a single father.

The CPS were nice, found nothing wrong of course, and attempted to find programs to help me, so that wasn't all bad. They helped pay for some of the day care, which cost an insane amount of money, especially for my kids to come home with bite marks and other concerns. The day care absorbed that extra CPS money and charged me the same, which I suspect involved some greedy fraud.
