You cannot leave your child alone whether Is In small town or a city. Ppl with bad Intentions will see It as an opportunity to commit such a heinous crime.

this world is so sick. a child should be able to go outside her home without being kidnapped. these days no child should be left unattended, ever. it is sad that it has to be like this but that is just how it is.

Such a sad world that you can’t even let your children go outside and play because real life monsters are out there. Rest in peace sweet angel. So sorry that this happened to you.🥵💔

RIP Sweet Baby, Athena💔, I love kids more than anything live in our world, however I am ready to sacrifice by not sering a child for the rest of my life, if it means a stricter surveillance system is in place to prevent another child from being harmed by an adult or stranger.

when parents divorce the Mother most always gets custody of the kids unless of course there is reason that the mother was proven unfit. in this case the father had custody. enough said.

I don’t feel sorry for the parents, they left the girl with a stepmother who didn’t care for her
