they were quite famous in their local community for their activism. always bringing those kids with them on protests, getting them to wear matching clothes and hold banners. so they couldn't handle their abuse of muh people of color being discovered. but of course you can't give six black kids in their puberty to two women and expect them to be able to control them without physical abuse and yelling and screaming. you can't really deny kids to two liberal lesbians who don't need no man.
the whole story is a beautiful encapsulation of american society.
