I agree GG- I live in Porter Ranch (Granada Hills) and my old 85 yr Itailan auntie lives a block away from where Emma was dumped-The area is fullof old-timers, old immigrants, and gang bangers, MOSTLY!! It is run down and mostly unincorporated. That area is INFESTED with either San Fernando gangs or Pacoima gangs trying to interfere on eachother's turf. I agree,a cute girl like herself, would stand out like a sore thumb. I only go in the daytime, and if we are there in the evening, I make sure my DH is with us!- and even then its scary!!
I think you are on to something about her knowing someone in that area. These lil gangsters can be very appealing to young girls, and they would practially do anything to be accepted by them (did term paper for sociology

). There is a LOT of drug and sex activities in that area also. When you look at the area topigraphically, there are WAY more secluded spots to 'dump' a babyin the Palmdale/Lancaster area , then in the area she did- Where Stacey is from, it is much rural, and more secluded places to get away with something, IMO.
Thanks for your post GG- Got me thinking.....uh-oh...lol

Im going to do some digging on this one...:blowkiss:
