    • If the police don’t act from these videos then they won’t be acting again. And the rest is deemed cruelty. Yesterday I watch the sadness on the mothers face, now today the head of the hispanic community in Antigua. It’s so not a good thing to see such a thing happen. I’m hurting for everyone who’s close to Yenifer
