I vote Possible. Some posters have made the point that "drug people" wouldn't want to be stuck with a kid, in repayment for a drug debt, and I agree, your average small-time dealer wouldn't be. But there are bigger fish out there, with larger-scale crime networks going on, that could find a :"use" for a little girl. It just depends on how deep you get in debt, and what kind of criminals you owe it to.
There was just a story in the news in FL not too long ago, a husband & wife who were deeply involved with Mexican drug ring, who, along with their 2 little boys, were found dead in their car on the side of the road. If there are people out there who would order the killing of 2 little boys, what other things might they be capable of?
Sorry to say, and no offense to those that live there, as I live only an hour away right now...but I seriously, seriously doubt high levels of organized crime in Putnam, if ANY....it's an impoverished armpit of a county with (and this is a personal opinion...ex-husband grew up in Putnam) not much else to do but eat, sleep, get messed up and the other "I'm bored" option (har har).
There are enormously high levels of under-educated and underage kids, well, having kids. Believe me, I see it/hear it/work with it every single day...it's very sad - the children suffer and the cycle keeps going.
Many people won't even admit they are from that area!!! =p Misty falls right into the stereotypes associated with living there....she's actually a perfect example of the low standard of living and education there..
