Two things in this statement from Baldwin do not seem to be the truth.
You said your kids forget to turn on their phone & maybe Ireland is the same way. But I have never seen or heard of a kid VOLUNTARILY turning off their phone. Our schools are fighting this phone battle every day. Most kids I see look like their hand is stuck to their ear, permanently. I can’t see a kid turning off their phone unless forced to do so. Why does anybody turn off their phone - I rarely do?
Second, Baldwin talks like he has to walk to Ike Godsey’s General Store to use the phone. Surely, he has a phone in his pocket with Ireland’s number on speed dial. Finding a private place for a momentary call should not be that difficult either. He knew he needed to make the call at a certain time, so it was just another thing on his schedule that day.
I agree with Geraldo on this one: Ireland should get a restraining order on him.
