He Was Supposedly Homeschooled

Dobbs would continue to defend her and Shannon’s actions, saying that Ricky was homeschooled by his mom, and that he’s a “very bright child.” She also said, “He’s the light of my life. I’ve been there ever since that little boy was born. We were on our own and we had to do what we had to do and that was make sure our grandson was safe.”

Defending Her Actions Even More

Diane even attempted to defend what she did for her daughter and grandson by giving an interview on Good Morning America. She said, “My grandson had the run of the house, when we were outside we would go fishing, we would do weenie roasts, we’ve done fireworks on the 4th of July, he’s helped me plant my flower garden in the back.” And yet many others would exclaim that what she and her daughter were doing was flat out abuse. And they would be right.
