I LIVE IN TENNESSEE AND I HAVE AS MUCH SYMPATHY FOR HER FAMILY AS IF SHE WAS MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR!!! I SINCERELY HOPE FOR A POSITIVE OUTCOME!!!!

Step mom did not care enough. Took an hour to call police very careless. Fighting with a 7 year and not checking on her.

Who has an argument with a 7 yr old? The stepmother had something to do with it.

I sure hope 🤞 they find this precious girl real soon safe.🇨🇦

Who lets a 7 year old just walk outside unsupervised?! As a mom you have eyes behind your head! Stepmom let that little girl walk outside. The parents I believe are involved. No clues? I’m sure the stepmother has all the answers.

Sending positive vibes to the search crews💫 may you find this sweet precious little girl💞 hang in there momma.

Stepmother needs to be arrested. The stepmother claims that a five-year-old ran away from home, nobody ran away from home the stepmother did something to her and continue to look for this child if she is alive and well said her back home with her real mother her birth mother the mother that she's supposed to be with, if not then arrest a month step mother along with the father who would never protected the child to begin with

The stepmom's story sounds like BS to me... Is this another Leticia Stouch?
Why an hour to report her missing? Get those cell phone locations and every ring door footage...

Her town is just a stone's throw from me, and it's such a quiet town, hard to believe this happened.

I have a 7 year old niece. It would be devastating for our family if she disappeared without a trace. I can only imagine what Athena's family is going through.

Just heard that they found her body earlier today. Apparently, she was abducted by a FedEx driver who confessed to killing her. So sad... 😔

Sounds like gross negligence to me. Stepmom won't have to worry about arguing with the kid anymore.

Prayers for Athena, Lord bring her home❤️🙏✡️

That baby didn't walk off nowhere, this is going to turn out bad I fear .

[thegatesofdawn...]

Step mother...fight...oh no! Not again America, 😑 prayers up.

When i was young i heard an Athena Alert and i saw a Golden brown blonde hair in the Forest and i was Curious what it was And i was literally fricking scared i dont know if that was Athena's hair it was kinda far far away So i regret not checking it

[adaaguilar]

Please investigate the stepmother further before is to late

Doesn't sound much like Paradise to me.

What if the stepmom got rid of Athena?
