Help Howie's Son Find a Good Family

Post by General Mackevili »

Awww, sad. Looks like neither Howie or the kid's mother can't keep him, for whatever reason. I don't know how that works here in Cambodia, but he's looking for an new family/home for the little kid. Is it just me, or is that a strange request to put on Facebook?

I didn't know what to make of it when I saw it. Very sad indeed.

I agree that’s pretty sad and quite depressing actually.

Actually, it's heartbreaking. What the hell lesson is a 2 year old kid going to learn from, "Sorry David, going to have to learn young hard life like me."
What is the lesson, not even his parents can love him? Is this the Howie of the bar by the same name. If so,I'll never stop there again.

Agreed very sad. What about the other kids? I thought he had three or four.

I assumed that was who we were talking about as far as "Howie" goes. Anyone confirm?

I have been told on more than one occasion by Khmer friends of the very common practice of informal adoption among family or even neighbors.

I believe male kids about this age find homes pretty quickly if healthy.

What happened to Howie to cause this to happen? Is there no help for him from anywhere?

But is it Howie's kid? Looks like a mixed race kid to me. Still, very depressing to see something like this, especially posted on fking FB of all places!

Based on the screenshot, I don't think it is Howie's son. Is this confirmed elsewhere?

30% left on a Note 2 means I have about 6 hours to go.
