WHY IN THE WORLD was the information about the teenager released??? Her evil parents are part of a group, so the fact that they are in jail means NOTHING. The four convicts may not even need to say anything for people from their evil group to cause the teenager to have the same fate as Veronica and Jillian. She should IMMEDIATELY be put in the witness protection program.

I agree with the comment above me. You don't know that somebody's going to harm you when you marry them at first. Then the kids come along and by then you and your person are already fighting real bad and it's too late and you're pregnant. What do you do? Most people try to stay in it to make the family work. Once they realize that it won't work no matter what they do they want out and that's when danger begins to represent itself. My heart does really hurt for these people involved. 💔

@msr1116 Месяц назад

I can tell you from personal experience that you don't really know the man or his family, their dynamics, history and true motives until you're with them quite a while and alert to troubling observations or inconsistencies, which can be subtle and not caught immediately.. People eventually drop their guard and begin to reveal things they never intended to, which unfortunately occurs once we're too emotionally invested or have children to think of. At that point, walking out is hard to do----especially with pay too low to support oneself and maybe one or two children.

Granny claimed all kinds of abuse and gave mom a hard time, blacklisting her from employment. It seems the courts were not taking her SA claims too seriously tho, no one was put into prison for it. Probably just false accusations like all narcissists do.

@TMann-eg1gi 27 дней назад

Veronica was originally given sole custody. Then, Wrangler appealed that decision. The Court of Appeals reversed it because the Oklahoma statutes say that shared custody is the preferred way, unless the court finds a parent to be unfit. At that time, there had been no finding of unfitness. Plus, when briefs were due in the Court of Appeals, Veronica did not file one. She had a chance to explain why the trial court was right in giving her sole custody, and she didn’t do it. So, the Court of Appeals sent it back to Cimarron County, with instructions for the judge to work out shared custody between the parents.
