TX - Nicholas, 7, Zayden, 9, Jovion, 11, Javier, 11, Jarod, 14, & Jamerian, 18, taken by mother & stepfather, Cypress, 18 Oct 2022 *arrests*

[Niner]

So boyfriend pleads Guilty and is set to serve only 18 months? If that is all, I wish this would have dragged out longer.

He pled guilty to a lesser charge - endangerment of child.

He pled guilty to a lesser charge - endangerment of child.

I was hoping I had read it wrong. 18 Months is not enough IMO. Those poor kids.
