I pray those responsible get sentence to the fullest extent of the law.
Just a reminder of how much more we as parents have to watch our children’s. Am a detail parent but is best for my family and I know it I refused to be ignorant. We need to be aware of where they going what time and all. I didn't know Samantha but she sounded smart. It was so sad when they announced a few days later that she had be found dead. It felt like everyone in Compton was concerned when her missing person post was shared on Facebook. Just know that there are people praying for her and her family.
I will always continue to pray her and her family. When I found out that she was killed I cried because I have a 16 year old and I would look at her and say thank you for always telling me where you are. The Lost of a child is is horrible but in this manner is even worse.
My heart breaks for her family especially her parents. I remember 1st hearing about her missing and praying that she would be found safe. I still to this day can’t believe how can someone do something like this let alone teens. Follow on Twitter.Įmail addresses are not republished or used for marketing purposes.
