The creator of the social networks added that she returned her mother to her mother’s marsupial baby and made sure they left the road together.
“I have made a great reflection on this situation and I have realized that I did not handle this situation the best I should,” Jones wrote. “Anyway, my only intention was to prevent these incredible animals from being beaten, and making sure that the Joey would not need immediate attention. I have learned from this situation and sorry much of the anguish that I have caused.”
Jones emphasized that the incident “was never about social networks or to get I like.”
