Yvonne Seck was ANYTHING but a devoted mother. These days irrational, abusive women like her lose custody of their kids.
As a child I was subjected to seeing her abuse drugs and fornicate with her crack addict men, engage in lesbian sex with her dirty friends, watch IT shoplift from stores, and have to listen to IT'S
constant verbal and emotional abuse. Thanks to her, I was sexually abused as a child, and when I told her about it, not only did she do NOTHING, she even made me go back to Detroit and visit the pervert that abused me.That piece of excrement went out of her way to ruin my childhood.
I even had to get a restraining order against her to stop her from contacting me.
I am glad that she is dead, and I know that she is ROASTING in hell.
May this animal rest in piss. The world is better off now that she is dead.
