September 26, 2025 at 5:17 PMThey both need a b*** whipping and taught how to be adults instead of living off others and not even trying to provide for a baby. Neither one should have that child! Accountability is the lesson that needs to be taught. I pray for that baby

September 27, 2025 at 3:34 PMFelony child abuse and the bond is only $5000. The child could have died. What is the bond for attempted murder?

September 28, 2025 at 2:17 PM$5000 is not enough bond. We have got to do better protecting our children.
