Mom of SoCal teen who went missing says dad ‘coached’ girl to make false accusations about her

The father of a 15-year-old who went missing for about a week in Monterey Park - before she was found safe outside ABC7's office - was arrested on suspicion of child abduction.

Yet the mom is the one with the previous record of punching her child and stabbing her husband.

She went to you for help to expose her abusive mother but you’re siding with the mother and now she’s in foster care. Shame on you

[DiaDeLaDead]

I feel so sorry for the young girl. She’s in the middle
Of this toxic divorce.

The DAD was protecting his DAUGHTER from the DIABOLICAL MOTHER.
The justice system failed them, so he took matters into his own hands.THIS IS SUCH B.S. I'm sure the mother's rich family donates to the Monterey Park Police Department.

mom abused daughter, tried to send daughter to mental institute, daughter went to father to help, then father gets arrested. this society and police are fucked up.

[Teddy-dhuh]

The father is clearly innocent. The daughter is afraid of the psycho, abusive mother.

[FateOfAllFoolslol]

The daughter was clearly saying that she doesn't feel safe with her mother and that her mother abuses her and hits her. The mother heard her say that and didn't even react to it.

[helenlee]

can’t believe ABC7 took the mom’s side when she is clearly the abuser. Alison even went to your news station to tell her story. Shame on you ABC7!

[bradlybradshaw]

I don't believe that mother at all! I had a horrible mother and can identify with the child.

[virginiamartinez]

Child herself said her mom was abusive . Dad is innocent

[Catsss]

He didn’t coach her best friends to say stuff about her.

[DICCO]

The dirty wolfs went after him. They did not like the video that emerged. He can sue them. Protecting your child is not a crime.

[morenasal]

This is such biased reporting. Why are you reporting on the mom’s subjective statement and not about the video clearly showing a young girl in distress and scared of her mother. She’s 15 not 5 - I doubt her reaction ton the video with the cops is because she learned to act that way. This is ridiculous!

[bpxlyewz]

Idk. Judging by his sincere reaction and demeanor, he doesn’t look like the abuser here. Why hasn’t the mother made a statement live?

[GrandpaDon]

THERE ARE COP KILLERS THAT HAVE A BAIL AMOUNT. WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE THIS GO WITH NO BAIL. MAKES ZERO SENSE TO ME!!

[emuxzqq]

The mom is trying to turn the tables on the father. I don't doubt out of the divorce, she gave the husband the short end of the stick, so the daughter didn't like that, on top of being forced into psychiatric care by her mother, she knew she wasn't safe. The friends know everything and officials need to listen to the kids, LISTEN TO THE KIDS. Too many times we see that they could have done something before something even worse happens.

[jamesgretsch]

Held without bail but sexual predators, robbers, rapist, killers get out on bail or no cash bail. What? The kid was not harmed and he did it as the daughter didn't want to go with the mom. Allegedly she abused her.

[TonimaroniBeKindToAnimals]

When are we going to hear what the girl has to say?

[NotSureIfSrs_x]

Yikes, i feel like at 15 the child should be able to decide which parent they want to live with... she clearly hates her mother, this is terrible.

[tsangdennis]

Without bail ? For this offense ? Why some other perpetrators who committed more serious felonies could be granted bail ? Ridiculous
