I don't know her and I'm not about to judge her. I've never been a victim of child abuse but I know children who have been victims of child abuse.And she’s ready to do that? This quickly?
She's a victim of incredibly severe child abuse. She said she tried to run away from home, was found by her mother 4 hours later and spent two weeks chained to her bed with little food, soiling herself. Her mother had her salivary glands removed. Her mother told doctors her medical records were lost in Hurricane Katrina. Her mother was mentally ill, and her daughter realizes that now.
She's done her time. If GR wants to spend the rest of her life trying to spread awareness of MBP, I have no problem with it. There has been a dramatic increase in child abuse since the Covid pandemic hit and children were out of school.
