Please don’t let this case disappear. This family, and Grant, deserve Justice. Love and prayers for them from TN.

100%

[@marthaalexander4441]

So glad this is getting exposure. This animal needs to be locked up. He thinks he has beaten the system.😡

[@StaceyLovesBettyBoop]

AGREED!!!!!! RIP Grant! Big hugs to Gracie and Angie! Keep on fighting! We are all here for you!

[@HardNigga-tr4uy]

The mom is insane, that’s what the story should be about. So sad how she’s brainwashed her daughter, she is a victim of the mom as well.

[@debfox]

The only mystery is why his dad isn’t prison like he deserves! His dad deserves to rot in prison! He’s vile! As do ALL THOSE who lied for him, hid things and did anything for him to escape accountability! Praying for Angie and Gracie!! Sending them love and healing! They deserve justice!

[@HardNigga-tr4uy]

No, the mom is just insane. They’ve done 2 full investigations. It’s clear it was an accident. They had access to the black box and everything. The mom meanwhile is downright criminal, absolutely vile and 🤮 a compulsive liar , even her own parents admit in court she is a pathological liar and needs mental health services

[@TwinkiesforDinner]

Please give this case more coverage. I watched Kendall Rae, here on KZbin, do an in depth coverage of this and I am horrified. Justice needs to be served not only for Grant but for Gracie and their mom.

[@camelbak13]

Have you listened to the Corruption podcast?

[@HardNigga-tr4uy]

The mom is insane. Actually read the court documents. Your eyes and mind will be open to the truth then

[@kimb7970]

Need a thorough investigation here. Dont allow this to be swept under the rug, lest tragedy strikes your own lives for those choosing to look the other way when you know what needs to be done.

[@booberry329]

I live in the area and had wondered what had gone on at the church to make the pastor leave. Now I know. I was so glad to see that someone had kept this story up to date. Thank you for keeping it alive. Aaron Solomon - from everything I have seen and heard - should be in jail. I can't believe this day and time that NO ONE stood up for these children and done something about the whole situation.

[@lucianalihauca2824]

Finally!!!!! This needed exposure for so long. Get that bastard behind bars

[@HardNigga-tr4uy]

The mom is a pathological liar. Read the court documents as well as the results of 2 full investigations. The daughter is brainwashed and a victim of the mother as well.

[@Darcey-t4s]

[@missj.d9187]

These wonderfully brave women need justice for that beautiful boy! This needs to picked up by all media outlets. That disgusting man needs to answer to many crimes!

There was another big case like this and come to find out the dad killed the son with his own truck

[@marthaalexander4441]

I remember that one. I know exactly which one you are talking about. This jerk is higher profile because he was a news personality, so he thinks he is untouchable.

Oh my goodness. I hope they get justice and closure.

[@tammiep9628]

If there’s more to this story and the police are just going by what the father says, something is very wrong here. This should be 100% investigated not just thinking you know what happened. That’s totally a different scenario. The police need to do their job or else find something else to do because you have no business Being in a business that a huge part of being a police officer is investigating and getting the facts!!

[@brandymendoza1390]

Wow this interviewer sounds like she is calling them liars. Her passive aggressive questions and her reactions.

[@KGTv123]

I’m confused why the mother is blaming other adults for not stepping in to help her children. What was stopping her?

[@robinwellington176]

Have you listened to the entire Corruption podcast? I suggest you listen before making comments like this. Once you know everything she has done, and put through, you wouldn’t make this comment.

[@KGTv123]

@@robinwellington176 you didn’t answer my question. I don’t know what this corruption podcast you’re talking about it is. I’m saying based on this video, there was no explanation whatsoever of what she did to protect her children.

[@MNP208]

Sometimes parents are accused of child abuse, CPS investigates and nothing happens. As a nurse, we see injuries all the time. They wouldn't say what they said without extreme suspicion.

[@stinkysocksftw]

​@@KGTv123 father is a big influential narc and was granted child custody. Their mother was fighting him for years. Watch Kendal Rae's episode about this case

[@Osiris261]

question. when the body was recovered which direction was his legs? uphill or downhill... if his legs were towards the road 100% murder. if he had his back to the truck he would have been pushed onto his stomach.. but they said he was found on his back...meaning he either was front towards the car as i rolled over him. or sideways and he got pushed and turned to his back.. but front or sideways still seems unlikely unless he was on his phone or something not paying attention... if accident like this would happen it would be people not paying attention with their backs towards their cars not the front...meaning they would land on their stomach. no matter how he would have been pushed from the parking loot he would end up with his head towards the back of the car, towards the road.and feet sticking out the front uphill. so was the legs towards the road or uphill ?...

@@JulezwithTrueCrimeReactions got you, I'm not too aware with this case.

[@PopCrimeTV]

Mom has been through the wringer. You don’t know what she’s gone through and not your fault, this was a 5 min clip. She’s had to tell this story so many times to people that won’t listen. And FYI the entire last 6 minutes of the live segment was Gracie speaking through uncontrollable sobs about what her dad did to them. I’m sure they removed for KZbin because she’s a minor. It’s a horrible situation that makes no sense. Police logged two pieces of evidence into custody. Two. That’s it. No chain of custody. Fatal accident and two pieces of evidence. Even an accident should be treated like a crime scene if it’s fatal per any LE officer I’ve spoken to. They wrapped up Grants “investigation” in 57 minutes only logging Dad’s statement. Not the two employees that were there, not the three men in the ditch “helping Grant”.. like what? I’m not even scratching the surface and this clip didn’t either! But not coming at you sorry, just want to make you aware!

Let's first do a DNA test to see if the father is actually their biological father. I couldn't imagine a father hurting their own child. Unless of course he finds out the child is not actually his. Or he did it to protect himself from the abuse allegations.

[@marthaalexander4441]

He is definitely the father.

Do some research on narcissist they do not care about other people Including their own children . Their life is a facade

Someone needs to look into Aaron’s phone records and see if he was actually checking and answering messages at the time of this accident. You may be surprised. All of these things can be verified now.
