Mother wants to see kids at camp

Three elementary-age siblings deserve a chance to be kids, their mother says.

The family has lived in 10 places in the past few months, and the mother argues with the stepfather a lot.

Her 7-year-old daughter is a good girl, and her 8-year-old son makes her laugh when she is sad.

"He is a very good boy and has been my rock," she says. "But I can't afford to ever do anything fun for him."

Sometimes simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire, and being around camp counselors who are positive role models, are the memories a carried through life.
