The hell she didn't. One for sure is child abandonment.

2001…..probably met someone online and ditched family to run away with them


My daughter in law did this. She left behind three terrific high achieving kids aged 15, 12 and 7 at the time. She did admit what she was doing and didn't run and hide. This capped off several years of nefarious activity including an embezzlement arrest and multiple people she duped into giving her money. She is up north now and I consider it addition by subtraction.

i keep seeing this popping up all over social media recently. i'm about as pro-dude and anti-feminist as you will find, and even i can see that this is bullshite. TONS of dudes have sacrificed their families for some side pussy. and TONS of women have stayed with a-hole men in order to keep their families together.

conceptually, i understand what the phrase is getting at, but it's still bullshite.

A lot of posters on here must be married to some horrible women and must not have had very good mothers either.

If she was about to snap and kill the kids, then good move. If not, what a bitch.

Y'all sure are quick to condemn her without knowing the whole story.


There is zero excuse to abandon three kids.

I’d argue that getting some side pussy isn’t abandoning your family, it’s just being a bad husband. Men don’t leave their families at nearly the rate women do.

The taxpayers on NC should hit her up for the wasted tax dollars they spent looking for her all these years.
Not to mention US taxpayers: I'm guessing the husband had her declared dead and the family received SS survivor benefits for years.

She should have to pay us back.

I’m mean I know people are ashamed of telling people they earned a UNC degree but this is taking it too far. She should have just transferred to NC State instead of embarrassing her family to the point her only option was to run away.

Well she did allow the kids to live. She could have killed them and then run. POS regardless.

I don’t get logistically how she did this.

Did she never work? Seems like tax and social security records/number should have flagged her if anyone was looking.

Did she never need a loan?

Did she ever get health insurance?

Did she ever need medical care?

I don’t get how she wasn’t findable.

That is just flat out incorrect.

Even if you only look up stats on Caucasians, there are 3X as many families without fathers vs families without mothers.

Do people not know that the tax assessor’s websites contain 99% of all homeowners names along with addresses?
