Teen Mom Amber Portwood Speaks Out About Losing Baby Leah
It’s been a tough year for Teen Mom star Amber Portwood. Not only did she split from boyfriend and baby daddy Gary Shirley but she reportedly attacked her ex-Gary which led to a domestic abuse investigation by the police in her home town. Then her two-year-old daughter Leah was taken away from her. What she say about the heart wrenching topic?
“Child Protective Services agreed it was safer for her to stay at Gary’s because of all the photographers outside my house,” the twenty year old mom said.
She told Us Weekly that being away from her girl “is the lowest of the low. Every night she’s been saying, ‘Where’s Mommy?’”
“I feel like everything is spinning out of control, and I’m trying to put the pieces back together,” she told Us Weekly. “I have to get myself better so when I get my baby back, she sees her mom as happy as can be.”
Let’s hope she is able to get her act together and to be able to be a good mom to her girl.
Do you think Amber is the victim of just having a child too young?

Megg commented on Nov 11 10 at 7:04 pmWhatever the issues in Amber’s life, that poor child was always in the middle of shouting and fighting and crying… The child was definitely a victim of her parents having a child too young. I hope that the parents are given the resources to deal with their issues and learn to be the stable and mature parents that child needs.
