@www_wiola it’s selfish & inconsiderate to bring a child into a household that’s hostile or unloving

What kind of mom doesn’t have a picture of their child??

Nyc99966Dec 5 at 2:10 PM

@emaaaalxo she’s not giving it to them. She’s refusing to comply and claiming she doesn’t have a child. Why they can’t get a picture from another source, who knows
