@HerpDerp, she babysat a little girl around that time. If you go by her vlogs, she only watched the child a few times. She took some heat for it because she vlogged with the child without getting the mother's permission first. She also probably doxxed the woman as she was filming all over the woman's apartment and there were likely revealing things that AL captured if a dedicated troll bothered to look.
AL's YouNow was kind of sad. It made me see how so many people like her at first. She spoke more about her foster experience and how awful it was for her. It was believable because she didn't embellish the details.
Apparently, one of her foster mothers once pushed her down the stairs. Also, she tried to find her brothers and one bother's parents didn't get back to her, and the other brother's parents only deigned send her a picture.
Maybe I'm feeling mauldlin, but she almost got me in the feels. Then, I shook it off because despite humble origins, she failed to rise above and instead became the cow that we've come to loathe/laugh at.
More of the maudlin sneaking in, but damn I love you fellow Kiwis. You folks are some of the wittiest, smartest people I've never met.
