She has a loving caring nurturing parent, no doubt about that. I find it interesting that they would automatically check her for sexual abuse. Not every father alone with his young daughter is a pervert.
Probably the primary thing missing in this childs life is a total lack of interaction with her peers. Yet how fortunate she is to have such a parent as her father.
It's probably fortunate that she was missing interaction with her peers.
12 y/o's are much more influenced by their peers, then parents, and todays "tweens" are rife with promiscuous/drug addled/dumbasses within their ranks.
The father was SPOT ON, and should have been left alone - imagine... given a couple more years, she could have been at a COLLEGIATE level (sans the socialist indoctrination) - at 14.
Of course not. But in this case until they checked them out they had no way of knowing that she really was his daughter. Sadly the days of being able to take people at face value are long gone.
Lovely story. Ruthie has a very special dad and it sounds like he is raising an exceptional daughter.
