I kinda got the impression that EB's sister was more concerned with how this made her look than anything..........maybe the me me me runs in the family.
HICKORY, N.C. The ex-husband of Zahra Bakers stepmother says he suspected the 10-year-old was being abused and reported it to Social Services last February.
"I didn't see physical abuse firsthand, Young said. I seen some bruises on her and she would basically say the same thing Elisa said. She'd fall, she tripped and fell into the sink one time. I guess people just believed it because Zahra was telling the same thing that Elisa was and Zahra loved Elisa like her own mother.
JM: Aaron spent a lot of time with Elisa, Adam and Zahra and said Elisa was jealous of attention Zahra received.
AY: I didn't see phsycial abuse first-hand. I've seen some bruises and stuff on her, and she would basically say the same thing Elisa would say. You know, she'd fall or she tripped and fell into the sink one time.
JM: He said he reported the abuse to Social Services. Aaron also said he found out Zahra was missing when everyone else did.
AY: My first thought was she ran away because of all the emotional abuse and stuff. That was my hopes anyway; I'd hoped she ran away.
