Thank you, Amy Davis, for your hard work in exposing these criminals. These type of people don't care that they are hurting our citizens of houston. I hope she doesn't get her bond lowered because when she started this criminal act of stealing, bribs and so on she didn't think of her son. If she had thought of the consequences and her "disabled" child she would of never went down the wrong path. Her position paid her well enough to keep her in a nice neighborhood nice home nice vehicles plus the programs and financial help she is getting for her disabled child.... no excuse for her to steal other than greed and thinking she deserved what she DIDN'T work for... all of them involved should be stripped of everything from money, properties, vehicles, and offshore accounts to pay back every cent they stole.

When you're raised without morals, real culture, respect or love

[@junglekutz5625]

Folk do whatever the hell they want to do, even when they’re not grown, of age, etc. What gets me with certain folk is this belief that they pretend to have in knowing that everything is cut and dry in life. Meanwhile, folk adjust and or become whoever they fancy, regardless of who raised them or how they were raised. The same applies to individuals that were raised poorly or without good guidance. Some of those individuals were intelligent and smart enough to make decisions that aligned with their best interest vs the interest of those that tried to raise them to fail. It’s 2024, and we all have been made privy to that which took place and to this day still exist from at least 150 years ago (people included). At this point, the understanding of Life being one’s personal journey is something that should be readily known. Playing coy and unaware of what Life expects of you (when concerning your behavior) is pretty much a fools game, at this point.
