"Mama June Awarded Temporary Custody of Granddaughter Kaitlyn Amid Family Turmoil"
Reality TV star June "Mama June" Shannon has been granted temporary custody of her granddaughter, Kaitlyn, following the death of her daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell. The custody decision comes amidst a legal dispute with Anna's ex-husband, Michael Cardwell, who is not Kaitlyn's biological father but sought custody claiming a strong parental role in her life. The court sided with Shannon, who argued that Kaitlyn had been living with her and that it was in the child's best interest to remain in her care.
