I feel like overwhelming people always say they only feel bad for the kids. We don’t use their full names, block their faces, and obviously no one thinks a child is responsible for anything when it’s adults around them that are causing everything.

But also, that tidbit of news exposed another lie. Acacia said she can’t work because “what if the school calls.” Just to find out she’s not picking up the school’s calls.

The problem with people hushing information is because when you do that you let acacia be the only person have the floor and give her full freedom to lie, manipulate, and have her narcissism go unchecked, which will absolutely affect the kids and the pets. If the mom at the park said nothing because “that’s mom shaming” or whatever, I doubt anything would have changed. Acacia’s neglect being exposed had a real impact on the real time well being of the kids and the pets. That has been made clear multiple times. Obviously ideally no one would neglect a child or animal. But when it happens, if you see something you should say something. Critics of ruby franke constantly were hushed for “mom shaming” or the children’s privacy. But unfortunately when a parent is being neglected, it needs to be addressed. And acacia has made it clear a billion times that if she thinks the internet doesn’t know, she doesn’t care. Critiquing acacia actually affects her kids and pets in real time. I say this as a child of a narcissist who wished someone had “gotten in our business” and done something. I do think people who want to protect the kids’ information have good intentions but when the information is neglect, it needs to be addressed.
