The are lwas and we have no choice to report someone eve if they are thought to be going throught this!!

>>>now this is in regards to allie

you have bashed two laws already and you are using money that is for basic necessties on extravagant items which you have bragged about if you think I am joking im not im tuly hoping someone reports you~~

you came on here not seeking medical help when you couldnt feel your baby move which is neglect to the child and trust me it can be fought in court(my sis is a lawyer) so please take a doing it parenting course~!


Leaving your child with someone you have never met and had no credentials in the way of certificates is another form of neglect(you can leave your child with a stranger but they have to be licensed and have certificates in childcare and first/cpr. Now if it is family or close friends they dont need too unless they are under 18 or if both parties sign a consent form.


I tried to be nice but sucks to be on my hated side cause I do research anyways im leaving it at that

cheers mate!
