My parents divorced when I was 9 years old. We are 4 siblings, but my mom decided not to remarried or have a relationship after all because my sister and me. She said she was afraid to bring someone who could hurt us. I’m now 41 years old, and I can be more grateful with my mom for it. She decided to be a mother instead of a woman ❤

PLEASE INTERVIEW THE MOTHER AGAIN !!!! I want to see what she has to say.

[TruthSeeker]

This makes me sick. Stop bringing these creeps around your babies.

[lostwoods]

Dear single parents, STOP bringing your boyfriends/girlfriends around your kids! STOP letting your “friends” live on your property and around your children! You have ONE job and that is to protect the children YOU chose to bring into the world. ENOUGH!

I love this reporters tenacity! Very compassionate and aggressive advocating for this little girl!

[mshockey]

Hats off to the interviewer for shooting rapid fire questions at the monster. He heard every one of them.
I don't know why the mother said "we" dropped her off. At the press conference the officer said "he" dropped her off that

Charge the Mom with child endangerment.

[jermaineburgess]

Single mothers 🤷🏾 she let this man around her 13 year old daughter

[Tadium]

The mom should be deeply investigated. She should be charged by law if anything happened to that child. Enough is enough! Stupid parents have to pay as well!

[anneleeuwen]

These mothers who bring supposed "boyfriends" into their homes when they have young daughters are dusgusting they should be charged with criminal child neglect and be sentenced accordingly. disgusting that u would put your own child at risk 😢😢😢😢

Mom was also absent from her daughters 13th. birthday party. Who does that? I could never be absent from such a milestone.

[LibbyinTexas]

In an interview with the mother she claims they both took Maddy to school and saw her walks away . In a Nancy Grace episode she says Maddy was seen being dropped off and sitting on a bench and then walking again but now it’s being said she was never dropped off and her backpack and school computer was found in the trash … if she wasn’t taken to school then the mother is lying - why is she not arrested ?

[delegado]

The reporter is doing a great job asking those questions!

[JessTheEnigma]

Look in that poor girl's eyes. She'd already seen horrors before she went missing.

[kayjay]

The "living in the woods" statement has been clarified. Her and a friend said that if WW3 broke out, they would go live in the woods.

[saraibanezcastillo]

Parents must take care of theirs teenagers daughters 🙏🙏

[donhancock]

What kind of girl would want to " live in the woods" unless she was being terribly abused?
