Maleah has two siblings, right? The older boy was with his father and the younger one, who is her stepfather's son, was with her and the stepfather, correct? Then, I think it would be safe to assume that there are three fathers, one for each of the kids because why would a father take the older boy and leave Maleah with the stepfather? From the pictures, they look like a nice family. Mom seems to love the kids and to care for them. Maleah has her hair styled with braids or other styles in every picture. Kids look clean, well dressed. Mom also seems to be working on her own education, going to college, studying. I don't really know what to think. The whole story is super sketchy and makes no sense.
