   The normally loud-mouthed June Shannon, best known as “Mama   
   June” from her role in TLC’s now defunct reality series “Here   
   Comes Honey Boo Boo,” was silent on her Facebook and Twitter   
   pages over the weekend.   
      
   That may be because a series of eyebrow-raising photos hit the   
   web over the weekend, which showed Shannon spending time with   
   Mark McDaniel, a convicted sex offender who was recently   
   released from prison after serving 10 years for aggravated child   
   molestation.   
      
   To make matters worse, one of the photos showed McDaniel with   
   his hand on Shannon’s 9-year-old daughter Alana “Honey Boo Boo”   
   Thompson’s arm.   
      
   All this comes after Shannon’s daughter Anna Marie “Chickadee”   
   Cardwell, 20, revealed she was molested by McDaniel when she was   
   a child, the crime that reportedly sent him to jail, and caused   
   a major rift between her and Shannon that was only resolved   
   before filming began on TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” in 2012.   
      
   Cardwell, who has a 2-year-old daughter named Kaitlyn, said she   
   is confused about the allegations that Shannon is once again   
   dating McDaniel, since her mother vehemently denies having seen   
   the pedophile since his release from jail.   
      
   "I'm just confused," she told People magazine. "I'm hearing one   
   story from Mama and another one from someone else."   
      
   Cardwell said when she was younger and McDaniel was dating her   
   mother he "would try and touch me and all that stuff." After   
   McDaniel went to jail, Cardwell said Shannon doubted her claims   
   about McDaniel.   
      
   “A week or so after it happened, I talked to Mama and she was   
   upset, crying and saying, 'I don't believe you, I don't believe   
   you, why would you do this to me?'” Cardwell told the magazine.   
   “And I was like, 'Mama, he did that to me and I can't do   
   anything about it. You were never there to see it you were   
   always at work.’”   
      
   Cardwell then went to live with a relative and only moved back   
   in with Shannon shortly before filming started on the family’s   
   reality series. The "Honey Boo Boo" series was a spin-off of   
   "Toddlers & Tiaras," the show that originally made the family   
   famous.   
      
   Shannon is adamant she hasn’t rekindled her relationship with   
   McDaniel, despite photos that seemingly show them together. On   
   Thursday she published a lengthy video on Facebook in which she   
   insisted she was not dating McDaniel. She has yet to speak out   
   again since the new photos and Cardwell’s claims have been made   
   public.   
      
   Cardwell said she would be hurt if her mother was indeed seeing   
   McDaniel again, and she would make sure her daughter Kaitlyn is   
   protected from her childhood abuser.   
      
   "I would not let [Mama] see Kaitlyn unless Mark is out of the   
   picture ... I don't want him nowhere near my child."
