Next full moon isn't until August 9.
Stay safe!
Audrey needs permanent mental health placement. Her head injury from decades ago totally changed her. She needs 24/7 supervision
Machete attacks, houses being set on fire, arguments over sex dolls turns violent; we either need a Dr Phil or Jerry Springer-type (RIP Jerry) to step in and help our area with relationship advice. Or maybe it’s advice on ending relationships without involving the police.
Bebop betty didn't do much damage, but certainly needs more care than she receives
Her name is Audrey, not bebop! . She was hit by a drunk driver when we were in Junior High… she has a name. She’s a person. Her brain injury lead to poor decisions that have snowballed through the years. This could be you or anyone else that you know.
Quit the name calling. Totally unnecessary.
5:28, you're right I meant no disrespect. It's a sad situation all around. I hope she can get the help she needs.
Audrey Eiford was 14 years old on January 15 1993.
She suffered critical injuries when she was a passenger in a pickup and it was struck by a teenage drunk driver in Joplin.
People shouldn't judge.
Head injuries can change someone's life forever.
I have known Audrey for years. As mentioned above, she was involved in an unfortunate accident many years ago and has lived a difficult life, since. She is not a bad person, just misunderstood. Hopefully she receives the care needed.
I hope they keep this crazy bitch in jail for as long as possible, and if/when they ever let her out they should throw her in the Stephen’s Unit for the foreseeable future.
Welp, so much for putting a name with a situation and having some empathy for Audrey. Yikes.
Misunderstood are you Effing kidding me, Attacked with a machete you are a delusional person if you are saying that she’s misunderstood… She obviously needs help.
You know we are hearing what she did. What did he do to provoke her to this point domestic violence doesn’t just happen I don’t think Mr innocent is all that innocent we are hearing one side of story
Stephen’s unit is only a quick fix I understand she has mental problems but what did he do to provoke her to this point they both need help domestic violence always has 2 or more people involved
Whut?!
I love how these people are shaming the victim of domestic violence…. Just because it was a woman who was violent, you folks are delusional there is only one victim here, it’s not that hard to figure out, roles reversed there would be nobody standing up for the man if he did this.
And there you have it.
