You wanna see some really sad situations for these children start watching Detective Myers in misery machine on YouTube this stuff happens more often than you think. Why bring a child into this world if you’re just gonna torture and abuse it I don’t understand people.

I tell admin all the time to do welfare checks on kids when they just stop showing up to school or randomly withdraw…. No one cares to look for these kids. As a teacher, we see them one day, next, gone forever!

I’m still confused how she was taken out of school and no one noticed or even checked on her. Her community failed her.

so you have to check on people when they ripped the kids out of school what do you think they’re doing to them they want control of everything you people gotta get the Social Services Way different. Gotta be on top of these people. Are you kidding me? I would love to do that job. I should’ve been a cop, but I became a hairdresser.

Come, Jesus come we’ve been waiting so long. This world is so wicked that we know it won’t be too long. Before you crack, the sky and rapture all your loved ones. Those not ready will be left behind.. and that in itself is a crime

Every case like this makes me think two things 1- how many kids are being treated this way and we don’t know 2- how does a child recover from this 💔
