The first thing I thought of when I found this lady, Tina Brown, was that old Texas case where that mom went ballistic and tried to hire a hitman to kill her daughter's cheerleading rival. Wanda -something -or -other was her name. My sister lives close to her still. This story is even more brutal, if you can believe that. Tina's 16-year-old daughter, Britnee was on and off besties with another gal in their Pensacola, Florida trailer park, Audreanna Zimmerman. Like many teen friendships, it ran hot and cold depending on the current drama in the trailer park. In March of 2010, it was frigid and it was all over a boy. Audreanna Zimmerman Police reports say Britnee complained to her mom, Tina, and a neighbor, 27-year-old, Heather Lee, about the ongoing arguments with Audreanna, already a mom of two at 19-years-old.

Sounds to me as if some holier-than-thous have found a way to punish her for being a single mother.
ReplyDeleteI bet if she were married and middle-class that the law wouldn't go after her.
The story was taken down before I had the chance to read it, but I'm assuming that this was an accidental death.
We had a case in Indiana where a child was removed from a home where the parents weren't married. I believe some trumped-up charges of neglect were placed on at least the mother.
Ironically, while in foster care, this toddler got out in the middle of the night and drowned in the family pool.
The grieving mother made the statement that nothing like this had happened in the almost two years that her child was in her home and that it was ironic that it would happen in the "safe" home to where he had been taken.
As for the foster parents...they weren't charged with a thing. It was just--according to authorities--an "unfortunate" accident.
I believe that the toddler's birth parents should have sued the system that removed the child from their home!
