So, let's see, now we know that along with Elaina's mother being arrested for child endangerment because she said she knew Elaina had a black eye, broken nose, and bump on her head but didn't take her for medical attention, several people have called CPS on her in the past couple of years and they have done a home visit because of her abusing the children prior to Angela's arrest at some point as well.
She has a lengthy history of this sort of treatment of her children, as well as a history of blaming the abuse that is observed on the children on other people such as SK and even SK's son.
We know that TJ let her watch the girls that night out of desperation because he and Becky both had to work but Angela promised him that she would NOT take them to SK's house.
But then she ended up texting her father to say she was going to stay at SK's instead of his or her sister's where she had been invited with open arms, because only Steven could help her "with this"... she told SK's cousin that she wasn't allowed to smoke at her father's house .. however we know she COULD and did smoke at Steven's parent's house because several people have stated that she spent a good amount of time on the porch smoking cigarettes while she was there, and they also went to Family Dollar for more cigarettes on Sunday just before TJ got there to get the girls... of course while they went, Elaina was alone in the bedroom while some young friend of SK's family was asleep on the couch, which was their version of having someone "watch the baby".
We also know Angela didn't call the police or 911 when she found Elaina to be missing, and in fact she asked Terry Sr "Why?" and "What for?" when he said to get on the phone and call the police and everyone else, and didn't cry at all until she was in jail.
Then there's the fact that she went to her new job's orientation three days after her baby went missing instead of searching for her, but at least it was a really important high paying job that might in some way help to find Elaina. Oh, no, sorry, my mistake, it was at Taco Bell.
...... oh sorry I was just thinking out loud about how none of this is her fault and she just wants to go home, poor girl.
