i am very sad to say that you don't have all of the facts about the akins...  they both have a serious drug problems and it has been going on for a good part of 10 years.  they are addicted to pain medication.  dave once told me that he intentionally makes his foot worse and does not take care of his diabetes, so he can get more pain medication.    they usually shoplift, sometimes stuffing the merchandise down the children's clothes and/or stroller (they have both been arrested on shoplifting charges) and then return the merchandise to get the money they use to buy drugs.  they have stolen from every family member, every friend, every church - they are masters at lying and deception.     last year, i was involved trying to help them with money and housing, and while they were at my home, they stole from me and my family.  i have pictures of where they were living and it is not pretty.  the kids were in dirty diapers and dirty clothing while both dave and stef watched on, both nodding off, completly high.  there was nothing to eat in the motel room so i took them to buy groceries.  the next day when i returned to help, they had even returned the food to the store for the cash letting their kids go hungry, so they could buy drugs. they both use the kids for sympathy and do nothing but neglect them.  save your kindness for the kids...
