Amber Hess should have chosen better friends.

16-year-olds Todd Hoke and Nicolas Castillo both attended Coolidge High School, in Queen Creek, Arizona. 17-year-old Amber Hess, who had just graduated from that school, lived just a little way from their houses and hung out with the two boys all the time, playing video games and talking to them on the phone.

According to Amber Hess’ mother, Candy Hess, Todd Hoke was like a brother to Amber.

Unfortunately, the circle of friends that the trio ran with was rumored to be rife with teen pregnancy and gang membership.

On the 27th of June, 2007, Amber Hess’ parents, Michael and Candy, went out of town on vacation to Puerto Penasco. They returned on June 24th and found their daughter missing.

Meow.

Think of how useful this would be when you had to give the cat a bath.

When you’re a single mother, it can be hard to make ends meet sometimes.

27-year-old Sametta Heyward had just moved herself and her two kids into a 285-square foot apartment about 15 miles from Charleston, South Carolina. Rent was $185 a week.

Times were tough and Sametta Heyward had made some choices with her life that she might not have if given a second chance.

In January, Sametta had given up a new baby for adoption. A 12-year-old boy of hers was living with his father in Maryland.

She had been arrested twice in the last three years, but wasn’t convicted of any of the relatively minor charges brought against her.

Jack has moved to Southern California recently and is making friends there.

On the 14th of August, 2007, Jack McClellan was arrested near UCLA’s Infant Development Program, which serves faculty, students and staff by providing care for children between the ages of three months and three years.

McClellan violated the restraining order that required him to stay 30 feet away from any minors.

He was released and scheduled to appear in court on the 13th of September, 2007.

Christine Freemman, or Christy Freeman as she prefers to be called, should remember that it’s a vagina.

It is not a clown car.

On the 26th of July, Christy Freeman, mother of four teenagers and one of the owners of Classic Taxi in Ocean City, Maryland, was found passed out and heavily bleeding in her bathroom by her long-term live-in boyfriend, Raymond W. Godman Jr.

Carrying her to the sofa, Mr. Godman, thinking quickly, grabbed some trash bags and a few towels and put them under her, saving the furniture.

Rescue workers arrived shortly and examined Christy Freeman, who, quite obviously, had just given birth.

Ms. Freeman, however, insisted that she had not, even after she had been admitted to the hospital and after doctors specializing in post-natal care had examined her.
