Sounds like yet another story of a child snatched by the government, and her own family had to “kidnap” her to get her away from the government-assigned foster parents. Who is the real villain here?
Not really, or at least it didn’t turn out that way.
Sure, three aunts took the girl. But two of them were arrested immediately.
And according to the article: “The girl somehow ended up with a family in Phoenix that had no relation to her biological family, authorities said.”
So the other Aunt wasn’t trying to raise the girl. You have to wonder how she ended up with this new family, who apparently KNEW about the subterfuge because they were hiding the girl, who wasn’t allowed to go to school.
So you have to speculate that the aunt sold the child to this couple.
