When she was 10 years old, TikToker @thekidsmommaof6 was impregnated by her mother’s 60-year-old boyfriend and was forced to keep the baby.
“I’m going to have to bring you all the way back to the beginning so you can understand how I was forced to keep this baby,” she explained.
So, her grandma’s house was the designated spot for everyone to meet up and play cards. Her mom, who was in her late twenties at the time, ended up meeting a guy in his late fifties. He started inviting her to parties and gatherings.
She started showing up at his workplace to get money from him. Sometimes, she would take @thekidsmommaof6 and her siblings on these meet-and-greets.
At one point, her mom found out that he was married and had two kids. That still didn’t stop her from seeing him. She got comfortable enough to allow him to come to their house freely. Eventually, they moved to a townhouse in 1999.
Her mom’s boyfriend became responsible for picking them up and dropping them off at after-school programs and grocery shopping while her mom was at work. Her mom ended up giving him a key to the house.
During the summer of 1999, @thekidsmommaof6 turned 10. She spent the summer playing outside and going to parks and beaches like any other kid. But on August 11, 1999, the day before school started, she was robbed of her innocence.
She decided to stay home and watch TV while her sister went to run errands with their mom. Of course, her mom’s boyfriend was also at home.
“Mind you, it’s not out of the ordinary for us to stay home with this guy because he’s been basically taking care of us or watching over us for the last two years…so we didn’t think nothing of it,” said @thekidsmommaof6.

He sat on the couch and stared at her in silence. She was watching her show, so she wasn’t paying attention to him at all. Suddenly, he instructed her to lie down. She was terrified, shocked, and scared, and she didn’t know what else to do. She started crying, saying that he was hurting her.
Finally, he went to the bathroom downstairs. She locked herself in the upstairs bathroom and scrubbed herself in the bathtub. When her sister came home and found her in tears, she told her sister what had happened.
But she begged her not to tell their mom out of fear. She refused to come out of her room all day.
The next day, she had to go to school. The abuse continued, but she never said anything because she was too scared. One day, he told her that if she ever breathed a word about what he was doing, he would dismember her body and hide it in his hunting cooler so no one would ever find her.
Finally, after a doctor’s appointment, the doctor called about her MRI results and told her mom to get her to the nearest hospital because there was a fetus growing inside her.
