    It’s such a pity. This guy has been through a whole lot since his mother passed. Oozie made a f**g with this boy. He neglected him and took care of strangers. As it is now the Vincies and the Trinnies are having a field day and poor De**k walking the streets hungry and abandoned.

      Well if it is like that the Vincies and Trinnies field day is coming to a end. It is so unfair and sad what has been going on.

    To The Slip Hammer: It ois our business. Where was she when his mother started that business. Oswald was wrong what he did to his son. Now that he is gone it’s our duty yo do the right thing.

    The US Government will run an investigation into how the finances is being spent and what it is being spent on. The US Government will open a full blown investigation if the money is mismanaged.

    The stepmother better hope she is not mismanaging that money because the US Government authorities will cart her off to jail. Enough is enough. I to will be calling the Social Security office in the US to voice my concern.
