I’m quoting these here because this is more about Nick’s character as a parent than his court case.
Growing up, both my parents worked and my dad regularly worked upwards of three jobs at a time. If I or any of my siblings were to go hungry, it would be because both of my parents were long dead. We’re literally in a time when a sign of poverty is obesity rather than starvation; there’s no excuse to let your kids go hungry when living in the US.
That being said: Nick and Kayla have zero financial hardships that would lead to their kids going hungry at all. These claims, which I believe come from a sincere concern rather than some sort of small-town reputation assassination, outline a knowing and willing dismissal for the well-being of their children, by both Nick and Kayla. This should burned any goodwill from all observers with even a mediocre bullshit detector.
