Kimberly claims her niece was born drug-addicted, and that Danielle and Nick neglected her for years. She says her sister’s daughter is thriving in her care, and since the court gave her custodial guardianship, she’ll raise the child as long as necessary.

Kimberly claims Nick is controlling and abusive, and that he is on probation for assaulting her mother. She says neither of them have jobs and claims Danielle has been “brainwashed” by Nick, which the couple adamantly denies.
