That guy is a nut. The article doesn't say that he is her dad though, just that her mother doesn't have custody of her. I find it odd that she's now living with the abuser's "best friend".

That is weird. And he owns many business and had one incorporated as “town name” police department and that town - which does exist - doesn’t have a police department! |

That is just plain heartbreaking! What some people have to live through is horrific.  |

I read about this earlier. Good for the girl for thinking to do this. It’s just a shame that she wasn’t believed before this. The human abuse was bad but the additional animal abuse raised my anger even more.

My heart breaks for this girl. I hope she is able to get some therapy and is able to move forward. She did a good thing having the camera - but I cannot imagine how she feels now that everyone is talking about her, and probably knows she was being abused. While I hope no one would reveal her identity, more often than not, people figure who it is out.

When a child is taken into the foster system, the parents/guardians they are removed from are always asked for a list of potential caregivers (family or close friends). CPS would screen before allowing the child to be placed in this home. It is best for her to be somewhere she is comfortable and at 14 she would have had a say in where she is placed (well, in CA she would so I'm assuming it is a similar process in FL). I hope/expect the dad has a no contact order in place. |

Sounds like she’s had a tough life, both parents being substance abusers on top of it. I can only hope wherever she is the adults are protecting her.

When a child is taken into the foster system, Is she in the foster system if she was living with her dad or was she visiting her dad when all this took place? I'd just worry that knowing this guy's character, anyone who is his best friend likely shares some of the same values. |

She wasn't in the foster care system, but a 14 year presenting to the police with evidence of abuse by a parent is going to be taken into the foster/dependency system while the charges against her parent/guardian are processed. |

I am curious also why people did not believe her. Was it just because of his standing in the community?

I'm sure that's a factor, but it's fairly common for women/children not to be believed when they are being abused. Just look at what people have said about the women that Bill Cosby raped, the women that Harvey Weinstein abused, and the women that the president preyed upon (they're liars, they're whores, they're in it for the money, they just want their 15 minutes of fame, etc.). There's a case in my state right now where a woman was raped (the rape kit recorded 33 separate injuries) - she ended up killing her rapist while he was choking the life out of her brother, yet people in the community are still saying she wasn't raped and it was "just rough s3x". She's facing a lifetime in prison for defending herself and saving her brother's life. |

I hope the family she's living with are good people, the fact that they are the abuser's best friend worries me a bit but it's possible they were as fooled by him as everyone else and now have cut ties with him (perhaps wishful thinking). Good thing I'm not on the jury because the smug look in his mug shot has me screaming "guilty" before even entering the court room.

The family has hired a PR firm to save face. The grandfather (dad side) has spoken out and said that child is living with person and has 2 dogs with her. And that child is trying to resume a life of a normal 14 year old. Please give them privacy so their son can get the treatment he needs.
Which makes you wonder why grandparents don’t have her. Maybe she was allowed to choose. But, money talks and it looks like it’s about to talk him right out of trouble.

I've read about this but I just watched the video. Absolutely sickening. It sounds like she's had a rough family life, but everyone has money and influence so they get away with it. Poor girl.  |

This is a horrible story. I really hope she gets some therapy and they don’t send her back to her father when he’s released.

I haven't read any more articles about this case that it looks like some of you have, but I'm wondering about the mom. It says the custody dispute has been going on for years, I wonder if the dad was smearing the mom and accusing her of things that weren't true so he got custody instead of her. I have no idea the details of the case other than the first article, but if he is now threatening the daughter and 5 judges have backed away from the case, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that he would have also smeared the moms name so she did not get custody.
No matter what, it is definitely a tragedy and outrageousthst no one would help her, and I hope that the girl is able to get good help and that she is able to be in a stable home.

I’m following a Facebook page that was created for updates and awareness to the case. Many questions have been raised about the mother. She is supposedly an attorney herself but I believe she has had some problems with substance abuse in her past - or she was made to appear to. The father comes from very deep pockets of money and I don’t know how they will ever be able to serve justice in a town that he and his family own most of. |
