    While this whole story is shocking, the fact that an 18 year old girl who is 8 months pregnant and homeless is in such a desperate position that she meets up with a stranger off Craigslist to have sex in some random ass park in the middle of the night for just $50 is absolutely heartbreaking..

      So true. Why couldn’t she just live with her mom? She was barely 18, her mom seemed like she didn’t get involved in her daughter’s personal life at all. Idk, I’m best friends with my mom and I couldn’t imagine her letting me live on the streets pregnant and a teenager. I’m not saying this was her fault at all, but I do believe her mom let her down.

      Yea, her mom let her down.
      Her mom was clearly emotionally absent.
      I thought that too
      I would never let my pregnant daughter be on the street. It is dangerous out there. That shows a lack of care and concern. And she was basically still a child, if you ask me. Like wtff.
      And I bet the mom doesn't lose one wink of sleep at night knowing she allowed her pregnant teenage daughter to be out on the streets. No sense of "it was partly my fault" in any way.

We were on our patio at 3 in the morning smoking/hanging out, and we heard rustling out in that field the night they dissapeared. We thought it was a deer until my friend woke me the next morning up to the cops out there searching everywhere, helicopters overhead; it was truly horrifying to think about what we really heard.

      Without consent, it's cruelty and criminal. With consent, it's providing a safe space to be vulnerable. The physical acts are part of a psychological and physiological experience rather than an end unto themselves. Safe word(s) revoke consent, which makes the "sub" ultimately in control as they can make it stop. Doms know and push but ultimately respect limits. Abusers don't.

    To all the people asking why Brooke was homeless if her Mom, Deb “cared so much.” Deb made a nursery for her unborn granddaughter! I’m willing to bet that she asked more than once for Brooke to come live with her & leave that loser Charlie. When women are in abusive relationships, the abusers completely control them. Brooke probably wanted to move in with her Mother, but Charlie had too strong of a grasp on her! Don’t just assume that Deb didn’t offer Brooke a place to live!! How about instead of that, we empathize and understand that Deb is tormented & grieving! How about we have some compassion and understand that we don’t know everything!! I’m so saddened by some of these comments. 🤦🏾‍♀️ 😢Im so sorry that not only did Deb lose her Daughter & Granddaughter, but now she’s seeing cruel comments from strangers who feel that they have the right to assume things & judge her based on their assumptions!!

    His behaviors as described by roommates points directly to a psychosis of unrealistic anxiety about normal things. That "bottle peeing" is very much connected to extreme OCD, as is the really messy surroundings and failure to bathe (remember Howard Hughes?). It is also connected to the aggressive hand-shaking. He cannot control his anxiety, but he can exert control through a handshake, by showing off his firearms in front of children, and engaging in fantasy role-playing games. Finding ways to be dominant probably balanced his un-diagnosed psychosis, which helped "flip the switch" into an alternate reality.

      I'm thinking of Deb too. She created a nursery in a spare room for a baby and never even called a welfare check on her drug taking, hooking, emaciated, pregnant teenager. Deb will need to be strong to not absolutely hate herself for not being a better mother.

      You don't know anything about these people, just an article or video on the VICTIM of a cruel crime!
      You have NO idea what Deb went through while her daughter was alive!
      You have NO idea whether she bent over backwards trying to help her.
      You don't know what measures she took!!!
      What people become when they become adults doesn't mean their parents were bad parents.
      Teens often simply fall in with shitty crowd.
      I was lucky, my family moved often due to work or I may have fallen with the wrong crowd too.
      Teenagers want to grow up, experience life and experiment too.
      Parents can be blue in the face trying to straighten out their kids.
      You obviously don't have kids.

      Shut up. My horse is at eye level. You don't know anything about the case. I happened to find out more about it than what's here. Reliable sources from their town. And again why was she hooking for $50 when her mother had money to buy and make a nursery? Worried about catching the flu, but not worried about screwing a strange man bare-back? Is THAT what you call teenage hijinks? I can tell you don't have kids otherwise you'd ask why and how she got to that point. And no her mother never requested to a welfare check nor any other legal means to get this under control before she ended up advertising sex on Craigslist. She did not finish highschool and got pregnant at 17 by an abusive manipulated 25y/o man whom she'd been sleeping with since 15. Talk to me about where her mother was during her teen years and the statutory rape charge filed against Charlie. No? Cause there was none. Soooo at 15 she had no control whatsoever? You cannot be that dense. And "...no control over what they become when they are adults"????? SHE WASN'T AN ADULT. Did you miss that? All this was done to a very misguided, lost, drug addicted, codependent, low self esteemed pregnant teen girl. If she was 30 and this happened no one would care if she was hooking in a park pregnant and on drugs at midnight with Charlie. And yeah he'd done this before with her. It was not the first time he had her do that for money. There is far more to the "behind the scenes" but if you want to lay this ALL at the feet of poor girl that needed guidance and better parenting when she hit puberty, then by all means, Deb is a saint and a perfect mother.@@abelis644

      You'd be surprised at the number of women who will invite me into their home with their young children having never met me.
      You'd be baffled at the number of women I've been able to lure down a single lane dirt road to a shack deep in the forest by telling them "oh, there's no address but just drive to the end of the road and keep going into the trees...just ignore the hundreds of 'no trespassing' signs flanking the 'road' and keep going until you get to a gate. I have guns so don't be startled when you get here."
      AND THEY DO IT.
      They say things like, "please don't be a serial killer."
      AND THEY STILL DO IT.
      Once I borrowed a friend's van for a group camping trip. When I arrived, I hopped out and yelled, "hey everyone...I have puppies and candy in here."
      ...you know, to be funny cause it's stereotypical. But EVERY SINGLE WOMAN came running over. I've never met them before either so it's not like they recognized me as someone they knew.
      It was hilarious...I was baffled that actually still works.

I did some reckless things in my teens and early 20’s, but this is incredibly high risk behavior.
