  1. If we don’t rear our daughters to respect themselves and EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO ALL YOUNG WOMEN regarding any and all birth control methods and furthering their education, we are fighting a war like we have never seen. This woman is 26 years old with FOUR CHILDREN and one on the way. Best I can tell we are looking at minimum 3 fathers, how long are we willing to support this behavior? Don’t you think a child in critical care speaks volumes?

  2. This girl has been keeping her son away from her father for the longest whom is my fiancee we have one child together and was trying to get custody and she threatened she would turn immigration on him we are fighting for his son and as in we I mean him and I. He is the father to her oldest emrik and we will be in court to get custody of our son. Poor baby even tho no signs of harm imagine what he went through and he is 6 now hope she gets hers and the babies are in our prayers …
