Additional Info
Ethan has 2 younger brothers named TIMOTHY WAYNE BENNETT (TIMTIM) and MATTHEW RYAN BENNETT (MATTY). 3 older half brothers of whom he lived with too, at the time when I was arrested and CPS took them away, their names are DYLAN STUBBS, KOLTON STUBBS & KOHNER STUBBS. \nEthan also had a best friend in Ore City, Texas, until we moved far away to be with his older brothers, and Tyson STUBBS, I think his little friends name was HUNTER. Hunter was a few years older than Ethan, but they were very good friends all the same. Ethan please know, CPS made it completely impossible for me to have any chance at getting you 3 boys back with me. I tried so hard. Oh and I did get 1 hand written letter from you nearly a year after they kidnapped y'all. It was accompanied with a page you colored for me. I love you. So much so that I die every day not knowing if you boys are ok or not. It's terribly hard. And also know that I never went and stayed with Tyson n your older brothers either. They caused y'all to be taken so immediately after I hadd to go to jail for a 5$ got check for 13 days! They promised to take care of you boys and keep y'all safe until I got back. They didn't! They call CPS the same day that I told you bye and that I'd be back as soon I took care of the check, you were walking out the door to go to school. This is hard for me. I live in Anahuac Texas these days, I'm fighting several health issues right now, but the thoughts of you n TIMTIM n matty, and seeing you all again and fixing this horrible thing that we've all been through, that's what helps me to make it 1 more day. You have a little sister that lives a couple of miles from my home, her name is Anna Linda, I gave custody of her to her paternal grandparents, it just didn't feel right to call myself a mother when the completeness that makes one such a person were missing, taken, ripped from my life. I hope this finds you Ethan. And if your angry with me or even hate me, that's okay, EASY E, that's ok. But I'd give anything to hear that come from you to me. I love you. I love you. I love you. You were always such a good good boy a good kid. You didn't deserve any of what happened. Please know that above all else baby. You can call me my number never changes 4 0 9 6 6 5 8 4 0 2. Till we meet again. Momma.
