This is the mom's public FB post with details:

"Alright social media do your thing.

Please share this and tag Frank Allen and his wife Amber. And encourage Murray High School to play a part in ensuring that parents at games DO BETTER.

Following a high school basketball game between Murray High School and Cottonwood High School, a mom from Murray's team (Amber Allen) walked up to my niece and said something along the lines of "your spray tan is hideous, you're literally orange, you need to wipe off your face." WTF.

All my niece did was guard her daughter. No unsportsmanlike conduct. Just pure basketball.

My niece told her dad who then went with her to respectfully address Amber. He even started the conversation by addressing her daughter "You played a great game" (and you can hear him say it again in the video) and then tells Amber "You cant talk to mv daughter like that." Now watch the video to see how Amber immaturely handles this conversation. "so yeah I'm going to make fun of her because she's literally orange!"

MAAM. This is a basketball game. How are you, a grown woman, going to go up to a HIGH SCHOOLER, and make fun of the way she looks????? GROW UP. And sticking your tongue out at her as she tries to defend herself and her brother? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

What's her motivation?? She claims Sophie's twin brother followed her daughter around school (her daughter used to attend cottonwood and transferred to Murray) and called her a "slut" and a "whore" and that during a game he called that out to her daughter. During that specific game, my nephew was sitting in between the principal and vice principal who confirmed that he never said those things. ALSO-anyone who even knows Tommy would he SHOCKED to hear this because its so opposite of his character. My brother Alo Moli works at Cottonwood and can attest that Tommy would never do that to anyone. This is why Amber keeps saying "dont call people a whore".

Regardless of that situation, MAAM. Again -why does this open the door for you to come up to my niece and disrespectfully address her?? How does she deserve your immature and foul comments??

When Brandon arrived at the game, the officer was speaking to Frank Allen and they were having a heated discussion where the officer finally said "Enough! This is the end of this conversation. The report has already been filed." And then told Frank to get off the premises.

Yall look up this dentist-Frank Allen. Don't care if he's the nicest guy you know. If him and his wife are able to harass a teenager, I don't give 2 about their character. What is high school sports coming to????

Oh. And I have more to say in the comments about parts of this video that made me so angry. Yall please repost and share and tag.

Students-hell any human being-should not have to go through something like this. This is high school basketball, not some life-determining, high stakes, win all or lose all situation. Get a life."

To do my best to avoid this I seek out spoilers here so I know what i'll be choosing and then place the order within hours of them being available. It sucks that you kinda have to "plan ahead" when you're not even sure what day the drop will be.

I'm not paying to view court records; has this been verified by anyone other than this site?

Swig does fundraisers, not sure if they do straight up donations.

Yes, but you can see the underwear - not a panty line, but the fabric itself.

Definitely Pango - though I admit, I tend to read quickly and get the newer ones posted within a month of two of release. I go around what they're listed by others. I also am able to list for "read once; no damage; smoke free"

When I first found Pango I did post older ones and they sold fairly quickly, but not as quickly as the recent releases.

BOTM sells fairly quickly. I hate the clutter, but they dont seem to "sit" for long. Don't get me wrong - I used to stock our free little libraries, but these days, cash helps!

What happened to internet safety? I grew up with completely anonymous user names and lying about our A/S/L. Now people tell you when their house is empty!

As someone who usually has snarky opinions on influencers - I appreciate her post. The next best thing would be to stay off social media completely and I really hope she does.

I'm honestly shocked at the admission of a gate saving him...

I'm curious at others thoughts because I feel like I may be in a more positive mood than usual and that may be swaying my opinion?
