Imagine taking in your child’s friend, providing her with a loving home, and then being accused of ‘stealing’ her! That’s exactly what happened to one mom who opened her heart and home to her daughter’s friend, Sarah, after she was kicked out by her own mother. Sarah’s mom, who has a history of mistreating her daughter, had the audacity to accuse this kind-hearted woman of theft when all she did was offer a safe haven. Let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster of a story…
