Linda Smith, the grandmother of one of the surviving children abandoned in the apartment. Smith, whose son is the father of one of the kids, said she took in Williams and her kids for a few months in 2014. Smith said she eventually asked Williams to leave for \u201cpromiscuous behavior\u201d but said that at the time Williams was a loving mother. She said that changed after Williams met her current boyfriend, Coulter.\u201cAll of this happened after she met him,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWhen I saw her picture [on the news], she was like somebody else. I couldn\u2019t imagine her ever being like that. I never saw her like that. She wasn\u2019t like that when she was around me.\u201dIn another development in the case, NBC News\u00a0reported\u00a0that Williams claimed she didn\u2019t report Kendrick\u2019s death because she was afraid, which also counters her claim that she didn\u2019t know the child was dead, a fact negated several times since she made the claim.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
