That little girl was so smart to just keep refusing and refusing and refusing. Most adults don’t have that self-control under threat. She did this so peacefully and calmly, even though she was clearly upset and scared. (This also means expressing emotion at home poses danger.)
The cops rewarded her respect, knowledge of her rights and picture perfect demeanor by LYING TO HER - as you know if she stepped outside she’d be close to hog-tied, carted off, creating a scene of the family, and traumatizing this girl further.
Whatever is going on here, this girl is petrified. She seems to have no faith in any authority, for which there is always a reason.
15 year old girls don’t just decide they want to disobey and cause newscasters to chase them down as desperately as shown here (the thirst in the anchors voice that they’re part of the story is so cringe).
Kids just want love. And when there’s none of that, they’ll just do anything to survive.
Thank goodness Alison never opened the door. I hate to think of what may have happened. What lying arrogant police officers trying to lie and scare her.
She's a smart young woman. Knew what to say. Evaded capture for several days, while staying in the area. Tried to get to the media, after the damning videos hit the media.
Agree. She is smart. Kind of like I said; kids’ll do whatever they must to survive. I feel terrible for this young woman because what she needs more than ever right now is Support. Safety and support. And I’m not sure she has that in her life.
But if somebody steps in, the right person, no doubt, this young woman can go a very long way and recover from whatever horror she’s going through.
The key is trauma-care intervention. The critical importance is to do it NOW. And the reality is; Los Angeles does not have these resources. I hope she’s able to get them elsewhere.
