Believe it or not, Jonathan Mendenhall once felt this way too!
Jonathan, if he's still alive, will tell you that himself. My friend, Steven Frey, once described living with Lori LaFond around the corner as like, "Living in a concentration camp!" When I heard that I thought, "Man, I sure hope he's not talking about me." Then I realized that I too had been living in one as well. Lori screamed and yelled at us with her brother, Brian, and their friend, Christian Johnson, constantly. Nothing would ever make them happy enough to shut their mouths.
Jonathan, literally, was at Lori's beck and call for many years. If he didn't want his friends to get hurt, he'd have to leave his own home. Anthony and I wouldn't see him for days and he wasn't allowed to contact us. I doubt that he was allowed to call his own parents either. In the meantime, Lori was trying to make herself the "Jonathan expert". She does this to A.) keep her slaves in order and B.)to be able to call the parents of the slave and wheedle them for money. She has various ways of doing that. She'll use her brother if she has to. In the end, if you want to talk to your son or daughter, you would have to pay for the privilege of doing so. They, in turn, are sitting there watching her do this or she does it behind their backs. We can't ever be certain, but either way makes Lori look like a pile, right?
It took us years to get Jonathan out of that mess where he did not enjoy the title of "Number Three in Charge" behind Lori then Brian LaFond. So our friend was embedded. He had problems and he couldn't get ahold of his parents the way he wanted to. Lori also would not allow Jonathan to talk to his departed boyfriend, Jared, while he was dying in the hospital. My friend John and I were told that Jared was close to death but nobody could find Jonathan. I'm sure that wherever he was, Jonathan was in tears. Lori, of course, would have taken that sacred moment between life and death from Jared. She loves to ruin every single second of a man's life. I find that to be beyond disturbing. It is one of my least favorite things that I know about Lori. She hates God and believes in no afterlife. I'm fine with both of those for herself, but Jared and his family might not believe that way. That is a sacred moment between child and parent no matter which is passing. I knew Jared. Loved him. He was really a huge massive loss to our community and all of his friends.
Don't let this happen to you. If your child is being forced to live with Lori insist on multiple welfare checks from the Morongo Sheriff and let them see the text messages that you have. She needs to chill out and stop threatening the families of her so-called friends. It's really hard to have them removed if they won't remove themselves. Lori has a way of self-inflicting her own problems, this should be one of them.
Thank you for all the attention lately, let's hope Lori LaFond never enters your life. This project will help everyone that people like Lori have hurt. Removing the chips is a paramount concern of ours.
