Re: Challenge time for Liv Joan

[Guest guest]

Thanks Joan....It was the HARDEST thing! Not to go down there and throw down

with the girls mum (just jokin) or inform the principle. Especially, after she

threatened to re hospitalize my girl. What kind of animal does that? A very

confused one, I guess.

Poor girl has absolutely no empathy and she is already 14!
