I have been thinking about that little 6 year old girl and the things she witnessed in that house. She was born there and everything she saw there was normal...... to her.
What kind of an adult is that little girl going to grow up to be...... God help her!
My suspicion is that Ariel had his captive and was trying to keep it quiet but then his brothers found out and they wanted in on it and one for each of them. Since the two brothers lived with mama what are the odds that she didn’t find out about it??? Was letting her take care of the 6 year old their way of keeping her quiet???
