If this story is true, I would have done the exact same as her. When the authorities fail, we must take what action we can on our own. I'm sorry Bonnie Joy, I can't clap for this. It is obvious the authorities completely failed in all of their duties in this terrible situation. I don't want to criticize a mom who tried to save her kids - and if true - did. Small town cops are notoriously corrupt. These creeps have harmed countless people in their town if their cowardice is matched by the common corruption in smaller jurisdictions.
