M son father passed away and his uncle wanted to be apart of his life….I allowed him to go over on weekends, his uncle married a young woman who we now know is clinically mentally unstable she asked if my son could stay over for the summer. I declined as his uncle is a bus driver, so he would be in the home with a woman I have no idea of every day for the entire summer! As a mother I felt he should at least be outside, enjoying himself with other kids his age if nothing, well she went off on me for setting boundaries with my child. She called me all kinds of names and shamed me for being a mother of a child with a deceased father. If God tell you don’t allow your kids around certain people you listen!

[@buchyvon]

We had a horrible stepfather who was psychologically and at times physically abusive. He was insane. And it took my mom far too long to get him out of our lives. But she did. Finally. Yes. Be very very careful about who you bring into your children's lives. They are innocent and they are defenseless without your help.

[@LuMarPhoto]

The father is a disgrace. I can’t believe he didn’t have a clue or even an intuition that she was an evil woman.

If you have never watched a WHOLE trial... this is the one to watch... the court case is mind blowing and the judge is amazing

[@xoxsilentrealmxox]

It's one of the only ones where I was glued to it from start to finish. Because I'd followed the case from the very beginning when he was first reported 'missing', I have always felt a huge emotional investment in wanting to see justice done for him.

The pretext calls between Albert and that monster are horrible! Her gaslighting and cursing Albert are unfathomable!

[@pricklypear7516]

A number of states are initiating a pilot project that invites the jurors to submit questions to the judge to be addressed by either the defense or the prosecution. This trial was one of the first using this technique to be televised. The questions not only provide clarification about testimony to the jurors, but give us insight into how seriously the jurors take their duty and how hard they try to remain unbiased. It was fascinating seeing this in action.

[@IH8YALLL]

That recording of him crying is so sad. And him saying he’s worried about his burns. She was such an evil POS. When you date or marry someone that has kids, you’re supposed to love those kids more than you love your partner. This story is so horrifying and I always think of little Gannon. ☹️ I couldn’t imagine going through something like this. My kids are my everything.

He was so sad he had to run and get a new woman to date and marry before a year even went by. I’m sorry there’s something weird about AL. I wouldn’t ever be able to marry anyone or have them around my children again if one was murdered by someone I brought into their life.

[@chastityporter6729]

Not to take anything away from this case whatsoever, I can't imagine.. poor Gannon. I just started watching this. But I'll also never forget the Trials Of Gabriel Hernandez. My heart hurt so much after watching that Netflix series that i would break down bawling at work on and off for at least a week, just not able to get my mind of of what those monsters did to the little innocent child. So heartbreaking when an innocent child never gets to know love, or being safe. My husband was like 'why do you do this to yourself"... it's because I feel like the stories need to be shared. Those babies deserve it way more than I don't deserve to feel uncomfortable and emotional watching it. Anyway, sorry! All of that to say, if you haven't seen it: poor baby, he deserves people to know. Again, not to try and take from Gannon

[@Genxgurl]

This story blows my mind. Please everyone, be careful regarding who you let in your life and allow around children. Do not let love, lust, $$$, or anything else blind you to presence of a demon in your home. “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8

[@athenatorres8234]

Stay single

If you have small children from a previous relationship, stay single until they are old enough to leave the house. Strangers will not love your child how you love them.
