i could maybe see it.

but for me 6 just seems too young. it seems too young to even ground them if they don't behave.

but this is not to blame the parents . i just mean in any situation . even inside the house i would feel the need to know regularly what the child of that age would be doing .

i would like to get more info on the 17 year old who did this to her. it's not like she died by getting hit by a car or some other accident. even if the girl was watched most of the times it could not be enough. and it's possible this 17 year old was one of the people they trusted in the area.
