Reality TV star Mama June Shannon may be one of those who are yet to take the social distancing protocol seriously. Amid the coronavirus outbreak, June and boyfriend Geno Doak were spotted at a casino recently. 

While the couple has been going about their business, taking matters lightly, June's daughter Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon is frustrated with the way her mother has been leading her life. 

In October 2019, June and Geno were found in possession of crack. Even though they pled not guilty, if convicted they could be serving time in prison, a possibility June's family has been rooting for. 

Talking to TooFab, Pumpkin said if the day comes, her mother should be getting jail time because that's the only way to straighten her up. She is frustrated to learn that her mother has continued to visit casinos despite knowing fully well what bad fate it brought her.

"The reason I feel like that is because my mom has lived so much of her life being Mama June and being that celebrity who doesn't really see consequences and she needs to see that. I feel like that would really get her life straightened out. She actually would have nobody," she added. 

June's sister, Joanne 'Doe Doe' Shannon, is in complete agreement of what Lauryn had to say because she thinks June's other daughter, Alana, needs her mother around her. She is 14 years old and is going to high school currently. 

"For [June] to be all of a sudden absent is like, what are you doing June? Get your butt home, get healthy, get sober and get back to your kids and your grandkids. We love you and we want you back," Joanne vented. 

Lauryn has filled in for her mother but there's only so much she can do. She has a two-year-old daughter, Ella, and we all know that toddlers can be quite a handful. Meanwhile, Alana made headlines when she decided to fake-snort a line of cocaine. 

To deal with the consequences of her actions, Lauryn has called on Dr Ish from 'Marriage Boot Camp' to help Alana deal with the situation and that will be one of the focal points of 'Mama June: From Not to Hot' this season.

"When this stuff does happen you don't know where to go, what else you can physically do, so it's always good to bring someone who is paid to do that, an expert who knows how to talk, how to get Alana to talk, so what better person than him," Lauryn added.
