God bless you all 🙏 I hope you find the truth x
The garden of Eden?
With instagram, whenever I get a friend request I click on the 3 dots on the top of the profile & then click info, if there is more than one username used in the past, red flag & delete!
I'm listening for about three 4th time. someone please tell Bobby and "Kate" about how long chargers can be placed. There IS more to this story & not all characters are speaking
Someone please explain to her STATUE OF LIMITATIONS.
I would gamble my bank balance that Kate was on meth 9 years ago and hadn't slept in days when she posted to Facebook. I've read cracker rambles & that's exactly the usual style of someone who's 3 days old.
I wonder why the parents never chased up the phone data before. I would call the provider, tell them the story and run through possible account names. It's not something you need a private investigator for.
The section on child online safety. Mr insta/fbook was damningly questioned in court over in the USA. He was asked basically why insta states something along the line of "the following may contain child ab**e are you sure you wish to proceed" (or something to that effect), and then allows people to see this/these. His excuse was oh it's the algorithm, we can't stop it etc etc. Sickening really. A bit like that recent movie re trafficked children being rescued, ppl funding done for s* ab*se!
So why the coronial process and not the inquest? I'm only a few episodes in and it sounds like someone or more than one was taking advantage of this girl, to be covered up. I want to make clear I'm not pointing fingers at a family but people outside of the family: people from the town, locals or locals kids.
Heartbreaking 💔😥 I'm so sorry for all your family. xx
Bless her. it's so hard when everyone is against you, especially when your kids are at risk also. Please take care xx
so there was quite a cluster of self-unalivings after this girl's death. was there a lesser cluster of self-unalivings in that general area before her death as well
To the Creators, look into the cremating of the phone. I am knowledgeable in this area, nothing with a battery should go into a cremator as it explodes in the process causing damage to the special bricks inside the cremator. It could* have been removed prior to the cremation if they are using the same equipment as what is on the mainland.
Sorry my kids thought I was strict but this is weird cult mind control strict
