If every time people get frustrated and irritated, they killed someone, no one would be left alive.

The friend sounded like she wasn’t mentally stable anyway. I know the mom needed a break but all that texting and video calling was a red flag. Anyone telling you to stop calling when checking on your child means you need to get your child RIGHT NOW!

When a cop says “ur not a bad person” it’s time to ask for an attorney 😂 but I’m glad she didn’t.
