I would imagine the interviews with CPS were pretty telling.
After doing more digging step mom had 3 bio children. 2 girls and the youngest boy. Not sure where the girls' father is but the boy's dad is deceased as of Aug last year. He was approx. 35 and cause of death is unknown.
Skylea was the daughter of Kevin Carmack and Staycee.
The other 3 children in the home were step mom's brother's children. Both of them have issues with drugs and are in and out of jail frequently.
So not only was Skylea the only "lone wolf" without a pack in her corner, she was the only child not blood related to Amanda aka the stepmother.
