I Care About Homeless People

So I drove down to the newest shopping center in the area last week. There was a man with a woman, I assume was his wife and 2 small children holding a sign asking for money. I went through the drive thru at one of the restaurants and got a couple kids meals and a couple sandwiches. I pulled up and handed them the bags and said I was going to call the police so they could go to a shelter. He called me a jerk and yelled at me for calling the police on him. I told him it was not meant to be a mean gesture and pulled off. It really bothered me so I turned around and pulled back in the parking lot and see them getting in a brand new car, and the wrappers and empty bags of food on the ground where they had been standing. I really did not have extra money to spare since I had been unemployed for over a year and just started a new job this week but I felt bad for the kids. I had good intentions and it appears I helped someone that didn't need it instead of someone that truly needed it.

It isn't about me. Yes I was out money I didn't have but that's fine... whatever. I feel for those kids being taught by example. They think it is ok and how things are supposed to work. How are they going to grow up? Are they going to be a drain on the rest of society? Will they make anything out of their lives?
