The photo itself is very striking, but the caption detracts from it. It's a newspaper heading, so "Sad But True Story" is redundant; if it weren't true. Why would it be in a newspaper?

Regardless, the photo did grab me. Especially the child. Great work!

Nice house! I can't believe it can be condemed though. It looks a lot like the house I used to live in.

This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Sounds like a human interest story...where's the human? Oh yeah...there. Crop to the mother and child, let me see the expressions on their faces, I don't care what the home looks like, I care about the people.
2) I like how the little boy is looking at the camera, but...I can't really tell what his face says, if it were cropped to him and his mother, then it'd be a powerful photo.
3) Too much clutter. Is it supposed to represent that they were kicked out? Doesn't work...The basketball hoop especially is distracting.
Score: 5

the desaturated parts of this photo look fine but the colors of the lizard have become unnatural in appearance

Maybe if there was a bit more focus on the mother and son then it would've been a better photo.

beautiful emotions. I think I would have cropped the left a bit more. But apart from that it's a very powerfull image
