“Shamika Young, Relisha’s mother, provided officials at Payne Elementary School the name and phone number of a doctor who accounted for the girl’s absences, according to Otero. Calls to the doctor, believed to have been Tatum, prevented officials from becoming immediately suspicious.”
So the mother is in on the girls disappearance? Sick
Some kids just don’t get a chance. I’m willing to bet that the mother was on welfare though.
Probably sold her for crack!
It is horrifying how this young child’s family let Tatum into her life. In this instance, the teachers were the only people who behaved responsibly.
