Portwood, 20, was formally charged by the Madison County Prosecutor’s office with three Class D felonies– 2 counts of domestic battery and one count of Neglect of a Dependent – as well as one misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.

The charges were filed December 27.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Portwood was charged by police last month with two felonies and one misdemeanor of domestic violence; it was then up to the prosecutor to decide whether to stay with those or amend the charges.

Get real, G's kids are very well taken care of. They may have some problems, but nothing compared to this trainwreck.

you have know idea if Kate's kids are well taken care of or not. If you define "well taken care of" as well fed and a roof over their head, I suppose they are taken care of. But, I will admit, Kate Gosselin is more mature than this one

amber looks more like a man everyday with a wig and fake tan and white lips plus she looks so angry and gary just gets fatter and fatter. and lean gets cuter all the time. give her to a nice couple who will love her and not fight all day and night.

both amber and gary are unfit parents. leah needs to be with people who are kind, loving family. she screams when she is in their company. these two people are trouble and there is going to be a tragedy if something isn't done fast.
