Watch Live: Family of Monterey Park teenager, who was found safe after missing for a week, is speaki

[laurasalva]

I am so impressed with how her friend, a 15-year-old, spoke so boldly and eloquently on the behalf of his friend. As a teacher, I am sad to see the ordeals that many of our adolescents go through at such a young age. I will continue to pray for Allison.

Her guy friend is the real mvp! For a 15 year old to be so courageous to take the stand and expressed all that he did despite possibly being a target is so admirable. So glad Alison has good people on her side! Team Alison❤

37:10 this young man sums up everything you need to know about this civil case. Wish him all the best and a bright future for being so brave and make such a bold statement to help Allison and her dad.

Her best friend spoke the truth! You can tell he’s been holding it in and finally had a platform to expose the mother! Great job buddy you did the right thing 🙏🏼

She planned this runaway meticulously. She kept herself safe this whole time. She allowed herself to be found at a news station. She is NOT unwell. She is a smart girl. Do not let her demon of a mother ruin this brilliant girls life. BELIEVE CHILDREN WHEN THEY SPEAK OUT ABOUT ABUSE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. For Alison and for all children of abuse who were not believed! ALISON WE BELIEVE YOU.

This dad is sincere. It breaks my heart. I am so glad she was found.

[ermelinda]

The best friend said everything you needed to know. Wow so sad

[pfv]

I am so glad Alison is save and not taken by a predator.

[debrakaresa]

I love that some people are genuinely listening to the girl and that they want her voice to be heard.

37:10 Her 15 year old friend is EXTREMELY well spoken. He knows how to provide the relevant information clearly while also not saying to much as to jeopardize the current court proceedings. He speaks even better than the lawyers LOL

That poor father looks sooo exhausted. I'm happy she was found safe and I hope that from now on what she wants is taken into account instead of making her do things that she's not comfortable doing. She seems like an intelligent and sensitive kid; she must have been desperate to do what she did.

[irisyuenfh]

I believe in her aunt and the 15 year old young man, their eyes were telling the truth. I really wish that Allison could be well protected and her voice could be heard. Please make sure no one is abusing her or hurting her anymore!

[pplla]

I feel for the father! 🫡 to him for serving his country and now has to fight his battle to win her child back🙏 god bless him!

[StarWarsThrowbacks]

I saw that other video when the cops were threatening her with placing her into foster care if she didn’t cooperate. Hearing her cry saying “They said I had a choice” hurts.

This story is crazy!!! Thank God Alison is found ❤

[CapnJascer]

The fact that the mother and the mother's family has money explains a lot of things in why this case has been so messy. It also explains especially why the father has to be careful in how he acts and behave. The US legal system is already shaky but when you add money to the mix, Allison and her father were facing a losing battle.

[szszszsz]

I sense that the mother somehow convinced the Court that the father is unfit. That is why the mother has the authority over Allison's mental well-being. The best friend's words should be believed

[lStranger]

The fact that kids have no voice unless they pull something like this shows just how broken juvenile and family law are. Why did the girl's cries for help not matter? Money and preferential treatment, that's why.

[susankelley]

Family Law does NOT always act on child's best interest!

Alison has a right. She has a voice. She maybe 15 but she is old enough to decide who she wants to be around and who she doesnt. Everyone always wants to bash the father. In reality not all women are meant to be a mother. Just because she birthed this child doesnt mean they have a strong bond. Her comfort zone is her father and his home. Alison i hope you are heard and i hope you go home to your dad.
