Honey Boo Boo’s grandma, opens up about the scandal that is destroying her family in a new TV interview. Honey Boo Boo’s grandmother, Sandra Hale has confessed to alerting Georgia Child and Family Services after Mama June started dating Mark McDaniel, a convicted child molester, who abused Honey Boo Boo’s half-sister, Anna Cardwell better known as Chickadee.
Honey Boo Boo‘s grandmother wants to protect her as she did with Chickadee, which is why she is speaking out to the authorities and the media.
Talking to ET, Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo’s granny, Sandra Hale revealed that she is the one who called the Georgia Child and Family Services, and asked them to open an investigation on her own daughter, June Shannon aka Mama June.
Hale stated that after learning that convicted child molester, Mark McDaniel is dating Mama June, she will do everything she can to protect Honey Boo Boo.
Like the rest of the world, Hale is baffled as to why Mama June is in a relationship with the man who spent 10 years in prison for sexually abusing her daughter, Anna Cardwell better known as Chickadee.
Hale says that she fears for Honey Boo Boo, 8, because Chickadee was violated when she was at the same age. The worried grandmother added:
“Yes. The reason I say that is because that’s about the same age he likes. [The same age] he messed with Anna.”
According to Hale, her estranged daughter is in denial. Honey Boo Boo’s grandmother also shared that she was the one, who contacted the police when Anna told her that McDaniel had abused her. Hale explained:
“I took her to the police station and filed the charges on her behalf because she was a minor.I was looking out for her best interests and I wasn’t going to let this go away.”
Hale said that after she discovered what McDaniel had done to her granddaughter, she fantasied about killing him. Hale is hoping that child protective services will take Honey Boo Boo away from Mama June, so she can go live with her father, Mike Thompson better known as Sugar Bear.
The star of the now-canceled TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo show who met with Child Protective Services on Wednesday, concluded:
“The only thing I can tell you is that I said to please look into it carefully and closely.They assured me they would.”
