IT IS A VERY SAD DAY FOR US ALL

As most of you know that have been to any of Sunset's events we support a childrens home here in my home town of Chino. It's called Hillview Acres. This is a small home that takes care of abused kids it is not a big place by no means. They only house 50 kids these kids have been abused by their parents or family members. Hillview has been in my community since 1929. Today it was decided to close this place that has nothing but love for these kids. I have over the years been around these kids that just want someone to care about them and love them I have become attached to these kids over the years. The reason for the shutdown was because of budget cuts so I would like to take this forum to thank our government for closing such an important place. As you can tell I'm not happy with our government when they pick on little kids that need someone to love them while the government officials that are making decisions live their extravagant life styles.

I wanted to thank the Mini Trucker community for supporting Sunset and supporting these kids of Hillview. I was over their it was heart breaking to see these kids crying and being put on buses and be shipped away like animals to places they did not know and friends they would never see again. Good job Mr. President I hope at night when you sleep you think about these kids.

BOB THAT IS SO SICKENING MAN......OUR COUNTRY IS DEF ON A VERY VERY BAD PATH

God this shit pisses me off. Why do they have to take homes away from kids or not pay the military... but the goverment still gets a paycheck...

For sure Keef this place always had a big spot in my heart. We do a few things a year for them the toy drive was the most fun. These kids have a wish list of 15 things they want they always ask for stuff that will help all of the kids their. Then at the bottom of the list they may ask for something for themselves. I will miss this place and the kids.

The odd thing about this is after seeing these kids crying and not wanting to leave I can't stop being emotional. I'm becoming a mess in my old age.

This is such bs i guess we can thank all of you idiots out in the world that voted for obama's dumb ass!!! Did this country really think that ( moving the jeffersons up to the east side ) was actually gonna help our country out!!!! Um hello!! so thx alot gov for screwing up our country just to get a bigger paychcek for yourselves and making the men and women who fight your stupid battles with other countries and screwing over the kids who could be the rising future this country really needs to flurish!!! that's just my opinion and to me MY OPINION COUNTS TO ME!!!

This is very sad news. I really hate hearing this kinda stuff.

We can only hope where ever it is the kids end up they are just as loved and supported (if not more) as they were at Hillview

As I said Hillview has been around a long time a large amount of these kids have grown up to be successful as grown up. The guy that runs Hillview is a product of Hillview he was placed there as a kid and he has ran the place for years.

someone should write their congressman a letter about this. as much as i despise obama its really a state funded place not a federal funded place so thank your states officals and leaders as well.
