Mikaila Martin was a 21-year-old college student when she gave birth to her first child and had to put her athletic career on hold.

Charges have been dismissed against the Ohio mother who was arrested for leaving her children alone in a motel room while she was at work.

A Missouri man has been arrested and charged with the slaying of his girlfriend and one of her five sons during a domestic dispute.

Though her famous son is on one of the biggest shows on television, Andria Mayberry says that doesn’t mean she’s going to quit her day job any time soon.
