Manifesto

   As I walk around from day to day, I observe certain things. I see people, I see places and I see things. But one of the saddest things that I think I could ever lay my eyes upon is a messed up, badly-dressed child. I can’t even fully express how much it hurts me, scares me, and makes me just want to snatch them up and help them. And then what will make it even worse and make me want to throw myself on the ground and cry is that their parents (generally the mom), looks absolutely flawless! Does anyone observe the problem there? Because there is definitely a problem there!

   

   It is beyond me as to why parents can walk out the house after having spent so much time on themselves that they just neglect their child(ren) and think that it’s ok. It absolutely is NOT! Your child is a reflection of yourself, a reflection of how you look, how you think, how you act. Your child is a piece of yourself. So when I see a child that looks like they just came out of wardrobe and makeup for Annie, yeah, I just think that their parents, (AGAIN! Mainly the mother), needs help. Parents demonstrate real issues letting their child go out in different states as such. For instance, letting a child go out with their hair uncombed: that is absolutely atrocious and uncalled for. Letting a child go out wearing a shirt that is too small or pants that are too high (often called high-waters), is absolutely revolting! A child shouldn’t have to be exposed to such horrible measures of life. You have money, clearly because you look so good, so why not take the time and money to spend it on your child. Some parents can be considered extremely selfish and really superficial for doing so and that is not love or care. Should they lose their child for such ugly measures? ABSOLUTELY NOT! It’s not even that serious, but as the same time it is. So therefore, that is why We SNATCH & Then We SNATCH Group is here!

   

   We are here to help the children and school the parents in all different aspects of fashion. We believe that as much as you need to looked snatched and well put together, so does your child and if you neglect to be able to do so. We believe that all families should have chance to walk around in fashionable peace and look good together. We don’t believe that they should be harmed in any unethical way, but we will go to the necessary measures to make sure that we are bettering our fashion world and we all look good together. Therefore, it’s only necessary and we see it it fit to automatically place you and your child in our program to teach you how to do better, since you can’t seem to be better already. We go by 9 rules in our program:

• When we think you need help, go with your gut feeling and help.
• The client is never right, they’re always in denial.
• Always make sure the parents and children fully understand their place.
• Always hold the parents accountable.
• Show compassion, understanding and love to the children.
• Make sure the parents fully understand what to do next.
• Make sure the children will hold their parents accountable.
• Never underestimate who you’re dealing with.
• Make sure they leave our presence UNDENIABLY snatched! (Because if not that will come back on us and we just cannot have that).

   Should one of our group members not follow these rules there are major consequences. Not only will they not be allowed to be a part of our group anymore, but they are not allowed to speak our name, contact any of us anymore, etc. We hold our job to a very high aspect because there are families in need that need our help and when you can’t follow the simple rules to help them, it shows that you don’t care at all and that’s not what we’re about.

   Parents, we’re all about helping you all to become better people and learn from your mistakes that you’ve made. And that’s ok because that’s what mistakes are all about: learning so you won’t do it again. We believe in making everything better and seeing you all leave in a fashionable manner. There are no laws or acts or political jargon that can go into this specific topic, so therefore we can’t sue you or anything. But we don’t even need to bring the government into this because we got this! We got you! We’re going to teach you and guide you so you’ll be able to dress your child accordingly and guide them.

   Children, we wouldn’t dare harm you little angels because you all have done nothing wrong except stand aside and be dressed in absolute monstrosities of outfits. And we understand that you couldn’t stop it or tell your parents to stop, but that’s what our group is here for. To teach your parents, so they can teach you all. Now provided that you all are in our program, we’ll also teach you all as well how to do little things by yourself. Such as: say ‘NO’ when someone wants to get you dirty. Teach you how keep your hair kept up for our little ladies. Teach you how to say ‘NO’ to high-water pants for our little boys and girls. And for our boys we’ll show you how to keep your shirt tucked in when needed for the outfit because we understand that you all forget sometimes and that’s ok, that’s why we’re here.

   Parents have got to do better and that’s what our group is here for. We’re fed up with the fashionable monstrosities put out on these kids and we want everyone to look great! We want parents to understand that their kids don’t have to look like they’ve been snatched out of a homeless shelter; they can look like they’ve been snatched right off the runway for Gap Kids! And that’s what we like to say. That’s what other citizens like to see. We like to see that kids can look just as good as their parents and that others can tell that there’s been time put into them. But until we can reach every family that needs our help, we continue our search. The search for those neglecting parents who just don’t seem to care. Don’t worry precious angels, we’re on our search, we’re looking for you to help you fashionably.
