Why didn't you want to press charges? I know why honey. It wasn't the first time he flirted with you. 29 year old boyfriend, open yo eyes baby.
Something smells fishy bout this. I got a feelin that daughter is taking her check if she gets one. Shame on you baby. I need to cut your behind all up and down the road.
I work with the elderly on a daily basis and it is very important that they get the care they need and this indeed is a sad story. I am glad this women was taken into protective custody because with no running water and no food how can she survive. I feel the last comment that person does not have any compassion for anyone or the care for the well being of the elderly no matter what!!
