sad storyline in Hill Street Blues


She played a teen mom abused by her mom, but her scars and bruises were real, not makeup. She even has a swollen jaw. I watched this show as a kid years ago. I agree with her fans, if the cast and production staff, saw her condition, why didn't someone reach out and help her?

I think it was just different times, unfortunately. People were less inclined to get into others' business. Physical punishment was more accepted and overlooked. Not saying it's right, just the reality.

I recall hearing about her death as a teen years ago, There were red flags her boyfriend was abusive, his dad was abusive according to a video I saw. Who knows why she stayed with him, or agreed to talk to him when he killed her is beyond understanding.
