Meet the Allens.
They live in England, and they want your money to help them with their unconventional lifestyle.
Matt and Adele Allen are parents of two young children, a 5-year old and a 1-year old.
They claim to be self-sufficient parents who are raising their kids “off the grid.”
So what does that entail?
No bedtimes, no vaccines, no medicine (they believe in natural medicine such as breast milk for an eye infection), no shoes, no formal schooling, no separate beds, and both kids are still breastfeeding.
Reports say the children’s placentas and umbilical cords were left to rot off naturally while using rose petals to mask the odor.
Folks started to shake their heads though when the Allens wanted to take their nonconformist lifestyle international. The Allens are asking people to help them fund their move to Costa Rica. They set up a fundmytravel page with hopes of raising $132,000.
But things aren’t going too well for them.
What do think? Child abuse or to each their own?
