I don’t understand why this precious 7 year old was outside?
She had just come home from school……..When my 2 came home, I was there with milk and cookies and looking forward to hearing about their day.
You can’t tell me the step mother wasn’t culpable some way, some how.
Poor little kiddo
The article said she was at the end of their driveway, on her own property.
I can. I am a personal friend of the grandfather of this girl. The step-mother was cooking supper and Athena was in her room at last knowledge. At some point, she snuck out of the house. The step-mom went to get Athena and she wasn't there. Enough of blaming parents in this case.
