Shawnwunz'a, 8, hides from his mother, Shawnette as she plays with her daughter, 13-month-old Shalisiana. Dorsey doesn't like a lot of activity in the kitchen when she is cooking, so she puts up a gate to keep youngsters at bay. After loosing her job, Shawnette said she primarily uses food stamps to feed her family. "I ain't used to like food stamps, but I use them now," she said. "I used to be shy at one time, but I ain't shy no more."
