Police were called to Love’s apartment to assist child protective services after finding out she was sleeping with both of her children, ages six and three, on the floor of the West Middle School apartment building. Love’s mother agreed to take the children, but after a disagreement between the two, the mother rescinded the offer.
“If my kids get taken, I’m going to beat her ***. Understand that. I will beat my mom,” yells Love in the video. “Don’t touch my kids because I will beat my mother’s ***. I will beat her to death.”
