That’s a bit harsh
How sad you can judge someone so quick. She may be a ‘smack rat’ but you don’t know her story as to why she ended up like that, if that is even the case
She is still someone’s daughter.
I hope none of your loved ones find themselves on the wrong path.
N who r u ANON
Says u anon
You need to have a little word with yourself! No matter who she is, or what she’s done, no one should be going through this. She obviously needs a bit of help and I hope she’s found safe.
I’m not the other ‘anon’, I just don’t want my name on here. I’m one of the good guys lol
Somebody put a post up to say they had found her bank card. Sorry but can’t remember what site or the name of person. Hope she is found safe and soon.
To true Islander but Im afraid the owner is a muppet and thrives on this crap.
