Re: Social Services removes IDE's from abusive Home

After years of abuse and neglect the Department of Social servies has
removed the children from the Borland home.

Neighbors had been reporting years of neglect, starvation and bleeding of
resources from Delphi, C++ Builder, JBuilder and Interbase.

Authorities, after entering the home, found C++ Builder in a dirt floor
basement closet living only on rumor.

Delphi was found on a first floor with an IV attached with the blood
flowing via a tube leading to the ALM group.

JBuilder was found on a San Francisco street corner turning tricks trying to
attract attention.

Interbase, who years before had known a brief taste of freedom was
discovered in a back kitchen preparing sandwiches for Borland corporate.

The body of Kylix was discovered in a shallow grave in the back yard.

The IDE's were taken to a local Scotts Valley hospital where a doctor at the
hospital was quoted as saying

"You can't treat children like that, not feeding and caring for them.
Basically not loving them or believing that they had value. Their self
esteem has been shot. I mean how can a child grow always hearing that you
are worthless in the marketplace?"

Authorities are seeking a loving family to care for the IDE's, who are
expected to make a full recovery.


Poetry! If you don't have a blog, start one.
