Do you think the guy was really staring at some angel or do you think the media has maybe made her out to be a little nicer then she is? Someone is providing some housing. She is working in the family business. Not saying they are wealthy but probably not poor either. It is a wake up call but maybe under the circumstances, her guardians should not have had her working this much.
All I know about her situation is from the article and video in it, so this might not be correct. It sounds like her parents got divorced, moved away and now she is working to not just help support herself, but her brother who is in college and a younger brother.

I have no idea how much her natural parents have to do with any of them, but it doesn't sound like they are very involved in their lives.
