It was a bad idea even having them share the same room when she’d already told people he had more than just an innocent teenage boy infatuation with her and was creeped out by him.
THE FATHER didn't protect his lil girl. Shame on him
This whole "family" seems to be personified chaos.
You shouldn't be putting a teenage girl with a teenage boy especially if they're not really related
Anna had her whole life ahead of her, and her father failed her 😡
Well that new blended family is gonna dissolve real quick
I worry that they cremated her too soon. I hope a thorough autopsy was performed. She deserves justice!
If a person remarries, their responsibility is still to their child's safety FIRST.
The fathers job is to protect his baby girl, not feed her to the wolves.
