This tyrannical government has got to go.

======================================

HOUSTON—Parents who thought their home was safe are battling with the state over the custody of their kids, and they believe they’re being punished because they’re poor.　

"You shouldn’t take our kids because we’ve fallen on hard times," said Prince Leonard, a married father of six whose family resides in a northeast Houston storage shed.

The Leonards moved in three years ago after the father, an unemployed welder, was hired as a maintenance worker.　

The family had already lost an apartment and believed the homeless shelter wasn’t safe enough.

"This is much more secure," said Charlomane Leonard. "Our children can play outside here."

Recently, a passerby spotted the children outside and reported them to Child Protective Services.　

A caseworker investigated, and the state took custody of the kids.
