Family Faces Eviction After Son was Found Shoplifting
GRAND JUNCTION, CO - A poor family in Grand Junction, Colo. faces eviction after a 13-year-old boy stole a pair of shoes from a department store.

Tanya Abbey, a single mother, says she and her three children face spending Christmas in a homeless shelter after her teen son was caught shoplifting a pair of shoes because his shoes were worn out and his feet were cold.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," Abbey told KJCT-TV.

Her son, Oran, said he blames himself for the hard times his family faces.

The manager of Garden Village Apartments said the theft violated the family's lease.

"Any criminal activity on or near the premises is grounds for immediate eviction," the manager said in a statement.

Oran said, "I let my mom down, like I let everyone down.

I live in Colorado and bleeding hearts are opening their pocket books for this woman and in my opinion they would not be if they actually knew the whole story which for some reason is not being reported by the majority of the news stations who have picked up the story.

Here is the local news report that aired last night:

I think judgements just may change after reading the information that is coming out about the mother being convicted of many crimes including drugs and a stolen car...not to mention her husband is in prison for murdering an 18 year old.

She brought the story to the news and in my opinion she was looking for pity but what she did was open her life to much scrutiny once the whole truth is slowly coming out.

There is a fundraiser for this family going on in Denver and their goal is to raise $5,000. Something tells me donations will slow WAY down once they find out the truth.
