The post also addressed rumors circulating online about the children’s living situation.
Campbell firmly denied claims that the kids do not live with their mother, calling such comments “drama” that distracts from the actual issue.
Additionally, parents are urging the Potts Camp School officials to investigate and take steps to ensure the safety of students.
