This is a sad situation. Women, you literally have to do background checks on the men you meet nowadays. When you have kids, you want to make sure that the men that you have around them are “decent”, and not sex offenders or that they are nonviolent. Women please go the extra mile and look out for your kids first and not just what you think is good for you. When you have kids, you are a package deal. PLEASE MAKE PACKAGE DECISIONS. DECISIONS THAT ARE GOOD FOR EVERYONE!!!!!
This makes me sick. What is with these so called “mothers” leaving their children with men they don’t even know. She should go to jail too…that’s rediculous. She only knew him a little over a month?? she should rot in prison with him….i’m sick…i would like to break every bone in both of their bodies.
I sincerely hope this guy gets the Dahmer treatment when he gets to prison. Save us the cost of twenty years of appeals on a capital case, assuming he gets indicted that way.
That was my nephew that he brutally murdered Black and blue (Jordan). I’m glad to say he got the maximum sentence yesterday.
