I'm playing catchup... Only on page 8 right now, but I'm getting mad. If I was a teenager living in chaos in that home, I'd wanna leave it all behind!! We don't know what manipulation she's gone through as well. If WH was able to manipulate her closest friends who only want to find her, then what other forms of intimidation and manipulation has he done with AJ???? Maybe when she was younger, she had no choice but to believe him or go along with whatever, but having some independence now, and maturing, she realized she didn't have to believe it, or maybe even questioned things in her life.
I don't know. But as an adult, all that going on would have made me wanna leave!!
I wanna know why WH and JH were separated!!! There's an another elephant in this room, and we're going to have a full blown circus here soon!!! Who was was using drugs? Selling them? Who was being controlled by them?? How many of the friends have money, and no job, or a minimum wage job, yet seem to have money? If this WH has been forcing those kids to sell for him, I'd flip a lid. As the parents of those friends, I'd forbid them to ever step foot into that house again! NO CONTACT PERIOD! I'd encourage them to still cooperate with police, still look for AJ, still hang flyers, post on their SM accounts the flyers, but be damned if they would be around either of AJ's parents or that home!!!! NO WAY NO HOW!!! Even if I needed a restraining order to make it happen...they would NOT be there!!! PARENTS WAKE UP!!! Your kid could be thrown under that bus at any time, and charged with who knows what!!! Get them away from that situation!!!!
Zach, if at all possible, petition the courts for a temporary custody hearing and get your kids away from this!!! They do NOT need to be in that environment!!!
My prayers remain, my hope remains. Please be safe AJ!!!
