I know my grandmother was a witch, but I never thought of doing anything close to what luvo did to his grandmother.

I know the person who took the Luvo’s video assaulting his gran is wrong for not stopping him but had he not taken the video we wouldn’t have known about it and she wasn’t going to get the help she needs, imagine how many grannies go through that and nobody knows about it 💔
