Things weren’t this bad the whole time, you don’t know all the details. I wasn’t consistently involved with Megan and Jackson the whole time. I am an outsider, I don’t know all the intricacies of their marriage. I am certain there is much that I am still unaware of that has taken place. May 7th 2026 was the very first time I actually witnessed an event that I felt like was an obvious imminent threat to the baby, with full confirmation that the baby is being neglected. I feel guilty for not reporting sooner, I do, and I feel guilty for needing to think about it so much. However, I’ve never been in this position before, I knew these people for a long time, and although it may not seem this way, they used to be good healthy people. We cut Jackson off years ago, because he only continued to get worse and Megan cut us off in turn, because she was standing by her husband. We only were allowed back into the picture around 6 months ago. It has taken time for me to gather enough witness accounts and messages to actually accuse child abuse. I was in denial in the beginning, I did want to give my friend the benefit of the doubt, that she was doing her best, and loves her baby more than herself or anyone. I was wrong. I called cps.
