This pig is absolutely disgusting. She deserves no children. I truely feel very sad for these children. The children will be much better off without this scum of a "mother". It is disgusting to see that so many so-called "mothers" would put their God Given children in this situation...all for a worthless "boyfriend"...PITIFUL.There is no man alive that is worth that much.

For the kids, it would have been a bargain, getting rid of this waste of women from their lives.

I hope the courts take her children from her permanently, as I can only imagine what their life will be like if they're returned. She tried to sell them once to get her trash boyfriend out of jail??? Let me guess she doesn't have their best interests at heart. What a piece of spam sucking trailer trash.

Ya gotta wonder what the boyfriend looks like, bet he is a real winner. Poor little kids. This woman should be spayed, cuz ya know she will continue to breed when out of jail. What a slime. She could certainly be a poster child for the term white trash. Don't get me started on free stuff, oh and don't forget the costs of prison per inmate these days. I was looking at some other states, there is one guy been on death row more than 30 years. Figure up that cost. The system is broken and as these lifers age, health care will be breaking the states. Hospice and nursing home care to honest people is damn costly, to inmates free.
