    It’s hard for me to imagine that a society would let there kids be homeless.

    The kids are homeless because their parent is homeless. In Europe, are you guaranteed a home as long as you have children?

    The idea that a woman having a car and a kid might be homeless is totally alien to me, as well.

    It’s actually more likely if you have a car. Cars are a money sink.

    The only possibility I can think of how this could happen is if she just ran away spontaneously neglecting all help she could get

    The US does not guarantee you a home if you have a child. If countries in Europe do that, that’s awesome, but the US definitely does not.

    Sure, there are charities, but there aren’t enough resources to help everybody.

      Technically there are plenty enough resources to help, we just don’t adequately distribute them. Jeff bezos has like 4 condos in NYC alone iirc, (or maybe that’s musk) but he definitely also has a mansion with 24 fucking bathrooms.

      There are way more resources than necessary. Capitalists fabricate scarcity to hoard wealth
