R.I.P SHY THE FAMILY MISSES AND LOVES YOU HOPE TO C U SOON DONT WORRI BOUT YOUR MOMI HOPEFULLY SHE’LL B OKAY AND DNT WORRY ABOUT THESE OTHER WOMEN ON HERE THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THEY DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT PHA LOVE YOU LIL MA
pharon,
I know you lost a sister and a niece, and I’m sorry about that. But your sister CONFESSED to putting her baby in the microwave, killing her. Can you understand why people are angry?
I kno the amazing family who will be caring for Shymir’s younger brother, Righteous. They will show him unconditional love and protect him from the abuse his sister endured for her whole life. It’s sad how the world seems to show a real lack of respect for human life anymore.
Please remember when leaving a comment on my blog that all comments are subject to the blog owners discretion. I do believe in freedom of speech, however, that right is not absolute. Here are the rules:
1 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
2 - Please remember to not use all CAPS or capitalize the beginning letter of every single word or every other word, or use IM/text abbreviations (except like LOL). Please have respect for other readers and type words out. Not everyone is into that and it is inappropriate here.
3 - Your comments must be all in English.
4 - I will also not allow Anonymous comments.
5 - ALL COMMENTS LEFT BY COMMENTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND THEIR OPINIONS. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE FACTS. NOR IS THE BLOG OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE'S OPINIONS OR FEELINGS. STATEMENTS MADE AS COMMENTS ARE OPINIONS, GIVEN FREELY BY THE COMMENTORS.
