Margarita suggested I post my hypothetical scenario, so here it is.....
At some point EG had to have realized Lucas was in bad shape. Taking him to the hospital wouldn’t have been an option in her mind. To her, the next best thing might have been her cousin <modsnip>.
Unless otherwise stated, everything above is MOO[emoji5][emoji230]
But if she was regularly abusing him would she care what state of health he was in? I mean no disrespect but i can't see her taking him to anyone for medical attention if she was the one abusing him. Who leaves a sick child alone to go eat or pick up food from a restaurant? What am I missing? IMO she may have decided she needed to disappear him before DCS showed up at her door. I think the q&a that took place with the neighbor could be a huge piece of the puzzle. Since it doesn't seem to me like EG was expecting the LL to stop by, what if Lucas said something about a smell during the q&a (the smell being the weed she smoked) and there was an assumption the bad smell was something the LL needed to take care of and that's why the LL came by. Is it possible the neighbor knew the LL and called themself? Too many questions, I know.
