    Im disappointed that the article didnt explain how this went in for so long. She didn’t go to school should be red flag here.

      Bruh seriously! Like I skipped school one time and got caught by truincy cops. And I would’ve gotten away with it if I wasn’t wearing tight fitting jeans with my big butt what showed my wallet’s outline. How do these fuckers get away with not getting their kids to school for months‽

      There’s a reason that denying children a decent public education used to be a crime, and a big part of the reason was shit just like this.

      There’s a case going on now in my home state, a boy fell off the radar (homeschooled) since 11 years old I believe. In his 30s now, he set his house on fire to escape, he weighed something like 65 pounds I think it said

      DCF (CPS) was called when he was a child multiple times, but once they moved him to “homeschooling” he became trapped. Utterly horrible.

      It’s the same questions comming from our community, how could this happen?
