She kept running away cause her family couldn't get it together.

Her house situation was messed up and she ran away from that and you know how it is in the streets. Dirty people will offer her a place to sleep and some food to eat but they will want favors. You can guess the rest. So sad

Poor child didn't have a chance. Her mom looks to be addicted to something. Sad.

[bmorecareful]

Mom is high as a f’n kite this girl running away from people who failed her and she ended up in the wrong hands, I pray that she is finally at peace

[phsza]

Her mom doesn’t even know what day it is 🤦🏽‍♂️ she lit

[Tomorrison]

This family is trifling. Her mom's a junkie. So sad this girl never had a chance

[franks.]

"Due to a situation she wasn't able to be home." C'mon now.

[xairacamacho]

Everyone failed this child, rest in peace bbygirl.

“Due to some situations” she wasn’t able to be home… maybe that would be her intoxicated mother and whatever else was going on in the home

When you have been neglected you engage in harmful relationships without knowing. She was just a beautiful baby girl no one fought for. She was out here looking for love!

God rest her soul 💗

Everyone shows up to the vigil as her village but where was her village before the vigil? 🤔 Surround your children while they're here. 💯

Mom is about to nod out right there at the podium. This whole story is crazy crazy and a little bit of my hope fades when I hear stories like this. 12 years old. Shot in her face. WTF humanity? Get your shit together.

From the looks of her mom, she never had a chance from the start. Poor baby

[Breaking]

Ever notice how everybody always shows up when you dead and gone, ain't no telling how many people slammed the door in that baby face, and they already knowing what's going on because everybody is always talking. This is a sick place, so ready for my King to return. Hope resting and waiting

[josiedudouit]

Where were all of these people, extended family and all when this little girl needed a safe place? Seems like a whole lot of people failed her..
RIP 🙏😇💔

Parents keep failing their kids and wonder why things like this happens

[Lovecrunch]

The mother just said “due to situations she couldn’t be home” what does that mean? That’s your child get your shit together. The parents need to be held accountable. That girl never had a chance . She was 12-13 why did she feel like she couldn’t be home?

[JM-srct]

Father’s!! Stand up and be in your children’s life. This is sad.

[sarachemelowski]

This is absolutely heartbreaking. God bless the family, and may this little girl rip.
