Basically she sounds like a spoiled little girl who's parents enabled her for far too long. The streets are full of these upper class and upper middle class kids who choose to be vagrants for whatever reason. I don't understand it.
The comments a good at the articles end. Not a whole lot of sympathy for the deceased girl.
There but for the Grace of a Forgiving God go I.
I am not surprised. She sounds like yet person who did not want to put on the mantle of adulthood.
I do...and for the family. I have loads of sympathy for this family.
This particular generation is lost/searching. Despite wonderful family, etc. many people in this generation are so lost.

Begging is profitable and you pay no taxes and do no paperwork. Kids down here do it as a no-hassle, no bosses, no bureaucracy way of getting money.
For homicide detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. May she RIP.
Poor chick; she lead a “peregrine life.”
Julia graduated from Indiana’s Chesterton High School in 2008, just as the country plunged into what would become the Great Recession.
That’s enough for me!
Her suspected killer.
Amendment to your fine comments.
“The cemeteries are full of these upper class and middle class kids who choose to be vagrants for whatever reason”.
From the story: “Julia ran through the house and took her mother’s wallet before fleeing with her friends. In her desperation, Anderson called police and reported the theft.”
Doesn’t sound like enabling. Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to judge.
I suspect some combination of mental illness and drugs played a part in this story.
“The streets are full of these upper class and upper middle class kids who choose to be vagrants for whatever reason. I don’t understand it.”
Drug use.
She had no worldview, lacked hopefulness, no understanding of who she was and where she was in the scheme of things. Received love but apparently never gave it. In short, a secular death devoid of any belief system, credo or code. Millions of others like her out there.
She was only interested in the next adventure/high/pleasure.
A study in extreme selfishness.
Her heartbroken parents did not deserve this nightmare.
She was a very cruel person and my heart goes out to her poor parents who only wanted to love her.
Stabbed by a subhuman in a fast food parking lot . . .
Dead street trash. Don’t care.
It isn’t a coincidence that it’s mostly women on this thread calling for empathy for a piece of street trash that lived at the expense of others.
They’re good examples of why people end up this way. Feel how good it feels to feel. No consequences, man.
Notice they have no sympathy for the many, many victims of the young piece of street trash.
She was a victimizer and a user, and anyone who defends this piece of garbage is her enabler.
You should open up your homes to these poor, misguided people. Show us how it’s done.
What is the purpose of this article?
I have plenty of empathy, just not for a spoiled princess who chose poorly...
All the outside intervention in the world wasn't going to help unless she wanted to take ownership of her problem and do the right thing instead of simply following her own lusts and delusions. She chose the latter too long and paid for it with her life.
A parent should allow their child to make mistakes.
Some mistakes a parent should not allow their child to make because the dangers are too great.
I hope I never see such a thing happen to my girl.
