P.S. STOP SITTING ON YOUR BRAIN OR IN YOUR FEELINGS DEPENDING ON WHO THE “ALLEGATIONS” ARE AGAINST

Too (listen) after. Reading that s**t you wrote from what i gather you are not to smart youself lol.
Since you all have the facts about this young man and know what he did to other people; you should go to the authorities and share your information. Giving hints here on the blogs does not make any sense. As concerned citizens ( as I assume) you should say something if you see something. If you are not prepared to do that then just STFU and pay attention to what you and your family is doing.
The sister done been on the news with crimes and the other one just like man on a whole
