This is sad. She needs support not to be criminalized. I respect that she’s working a legit job. I hope she finds support that she needs.
This is it right hereThe said thing is, she left her children to WORK.
---Not shop, club, or go out. The whack boyfriends are killing the children and some of their fathers can't be trusted. She more than likely doesn't get paid enough to cover childcare but she's being punished. The system is set up poorly & the wrong people are on the benefitting end.
I just checked her Facebook and this is what she has to say.

A 10 year old should not be left alone with a 2 year old. I’m sorry but that’s too much responsibility for a 10 year old. I don’t agree with her having criminal charges but I also don’t agree with siblings being surrogate parents.
I went on the mother’s page & seems like your comment is correct.

Facts! And they’re always willing to see the punishment all the way through for Black people. No compassion.I’ve said this in multiple threads , as someone working in the system - they criminalize poverty . So many misdemeanors are simple people getting punished for being poor and having no support
Welp!I just checked her Facebook and this is what she has to say.

She should herself. I can’t believe they changed the direction of the fundraiser, knowing she’s gonna have legal costs now.Can somone made a new go fundme for the mother only?
I knew it!! I’m reporting that GoFundMe as fraud. F that!
Thank you!I reported the fundraiser and I encourage everyone to do the same!!!

Probably by running up credit cards and making the minimum monthly payment.How are people making it with kids working at a pizza shop and paying for a motel?? Regular degular child care is rent/mortgage in a month in America. I don’t get it .. since they arrested her and took the damn kids she might as well had did PUA’s!!
So sad she is all alone not a family member to help her out. She needs support. I wonder why the grandma if she is alive doesn't watch the kids for a few hours. This world is cold hearted
Think about it. If the GFM is refocused to just the girls, then whichever parent has custody of the girls will likely be the one to receive and spend the funds as they see fit.
Would be good to update the op to reflect the latest info on the gofundme and where the money’s really going:The mom, who was found working at a pizza shop, told officers that she usually has someone check in on her children every hour while she is at work.

Shania Bell
A Liberty Township woman has pleaded not guilty to child endangering after police say they found her two daughters left alone in a Belmont Avenue motel room Thursday evening.
Acting on a tip, officers found a 10-year-old girl and her two-year-old sister in a room at the Motel Six after 6 p.m.
The older child said that her mother was at work and expected her to be back by 10 p.m.
The mom, 24-year-old Shaina Bell, who was found working at a pizza shop, told officers that she usually has someone check in on her children every hour while she is at work.
Bell was booked into the county jail on two counts of child endangering.
The children were turned over to their father.
Now free on bail after a hearing in Girard Municipal Court, Bell is scheduled for another court hearing in April.
Community support for Bell has been building and a Go-Fund-Me has been created to support Bell and her children.

24 with a 10 yr old? I need to have more info on the father. How was he able to get the children so quickly but couldn't watch them while she was at work? I hope she gets the resources she needs.
I just checked her Facebook and this is what she has to say.

Struggling with 1 child then you turn around and have another.

Struggling with 1 child then you turn around and have another.
The father fks & impregnates 14 yr olds, so no, he shouldn't be watching them.
This is from the woman who made the GFM. She posted under the moms post.
Just wanted to clear the air a bit. I started the fundraiser and for the first few hours the purpose of the fundraiser was to get money to directly help Shaina and the kids. After $2,500 was raised and after learning more about the situation, I felt the need to change the nature of the gofundme to make sure the kids are taken care of and have everything they need. The initial $2,500 would go to exactly what people were donating to, to Shaina herself. The remaining money would be used, as specified in the gofundme update, to get the kids everything they need, stock up on toiletries, groceries etc. and that
I was just trying to look out for the kids, which in turn helps Shaina out, too. I have deactivated the donations per shainas request and I’m looking into how to refund everyone’s donations. I hope Shaina changes her mind and takes the help, $2,500 is a deposit and first months rent on a house and then some! Plus her kiddos would be set up with anything they need.
None of this was set up as a scam, just a regular mom here trying to do what I can to help while also looking out for the people who have donated. At the end of the day, all of the money/donations would be helping to support the kids.
I’m working on doing what Shaina has asked and figuring out how to return the donations.
After seeing a lot of gofundme situations go wrong I can understand why the mom doesn't want this attention or money. I know it is strange. Hopefully there is someone in her life who can help her out with childcare from here out.
She most likely wants it shut down because this woman is ruling over the GFM with an iron fist. First it was for Shania, then it wasn't. Then it was for the kids with the father receiving the funds. Now it's for Shania again when her account got reported.After seeing a lot of gofundme situations go wrong I can understand why the mom doesn't want this attention or money. I know it is strange.

She wants the money.. she wants all or none of it from the creators second post. I added it.
ok personally I do not trust these white folks who create these gofundme's in situations like this. They act like they themselves are trustees of the money and know what is best for the person and want to give it to them in piecemeal or sometimes they skim off the top.
I don't even think random people should be allowed to start GFMs for others.
Don’t I know it ... but she had her 2nd child after a few years. My parents had me and my 3 sisters one after the other and they couldn’t provide for us. I guess they had us for the government support or something, it was stressful.
I started working at 15 to help with the bills and they always tried to guilt me at how much they suffered for me when the true victim was me and my damn sisters.
ok. but the kids are here now. all of that 'don't bring kids into the world' talk is pointless.I'm sorry you went through that but speaking on this girl, I doubt she was in any stable place to have a second child at 22. It doesn't matter how many years are in between. If you're still in a bad place in life you should reconsider bringing more innocent kids into the world. Unless she was already doing well for herself at 22 with an 8 yr old then things all of the sudden went left after her second kid.
A stranger started a go fund me. There’s nothing wrong with us wanting to donate to a struggling mother. We don’t know what her situation was pre COVID.I'm not trying to come down on this young mother, but there are plenty of resources (at least where I live) for single parents. She should have been had low income housing, child care, and everything else. If I missed these details, then I apologize, but Go Fund me shouldn't be on the table.
