Someone’s comment:
Richard said: “If he had provided for her and their 8 children, she couldn’t have been coming home late. You sit at home while she hustles to feed 10 persons and perhaps a house help making it a football team, on her return you want to control her too. You want her home early so that you can f**k but she’s running away by coming home late. Police please let her go so that she can have the 9th child in peace. She’s a stressed and burnt out woman.”
