CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Wendy is a 23-year-old mother of two young children. She grew up in poverty and had her first child when she was 15. The children's father, quite a few years older than her, worked as a security guard. For a while, they had enough money to get by. Then he got involved with drugs and lost his job. Wendy couldn't deal with the drug abuse and the harm it might cause her children. She made him leave until he got clean.
