Disgusting parents! Those poor children. Two losers that need to get a job, and raise their children right so they don’t become like them! 😠

How many EBT cards were located in the search?
They seem nice
They are
Daikysha’s single mother should be thrown in prison for naming her child that.
bitch stfu don’t say shii about my tt fuck .
You forget to mention that Cocaine, MJ and Fentanyl were found in the blood of these children.
Stop lying
girl no tf there was not no drugs in my cousins blood ugly ass bitch
Wtf is up with the glued bangs?! These people…
Drugs make you think its …..P R E T T Y!
Y’all got so much to say about people that sell drugs but y’all ass be mad asl cause y’all couldn’t buy the shit to get high !! Go after these pedis and mother fuckas that’s killing people getting out not people out here grinding trying to make ends meet for their family tf..
You sound extremely educated. I’m assuming a drop out? And there are other ways to make ends meet. Hey, have you heard of a job? And if you’re going to sell drugs, maybe don’t do it at your house around your children. It’s reckless and careless. Since you are coming to these idiots defense, I’m assuming that you or your baby’s daddy must have experience in the field.
Im a collage graduate actually dum ass ! Kusd is your name lol but you got people in your kusd district selling drugs that got busted but still got their job fuck outta here !! I’m assuming u should kill your fucking self bitch I don’t have a baby daddy stupid bitch I have a husband I know what drugs is cause your mama smoke them !!
Let Her Go she being dragged into this Mess..
I believe that he was absolutely the one selling drugs, but she was absolutely aware and profiting from it. The fact that she allowed it to go on in her house around her children, is very concerning. I think that she needed to be held accountable in someway. People don’t understand how their actions affect others. It’s so many bad scenarios that could have happened, I think that this would be a lesson learned for her.
Two pieces of crap! Probably never thinking of the children! They will be crying for them to make themselves look good. Set the bail high! Don’t let them go! Let them suffer in jail, do community service, and rehab. Working with a Christian mentor as well!
