"Police gave both mother and daughters another “opportunity” — by making one more reel and adding it on. Now the mother-daughter duo got yet another chance to make money," a user wrote. "Well reelers are mentally ill. So it makes sense," another user commented. "What's the problem! It's just a reel," a third user said.
