What an absolutely insane story so far.
His mom purchased multiple burner phones from Walmart, had 2 other women involved, they held an innocent and I can only imagine seriously frightened girl overnight, and let her go on the side of a rural road in the rain.
What the F needs to happen for this to go down?!?!
Whatever the reason(s), however justified they feel in taking that course of action, its messed the 17 up. Thats a 6yo they took.
