At least Bone had good aunts + uncles!


It was incredibly terrible what happened to her but she was very lucky she had decent extended family members. I mean how many abused children are left in unsafe homes because no one bothers to help or take them in?

You have a point...because in many families it's the extended family members you have to watch out for.

I thought the same thing. They loved that little girl.

Even Ruth suspected something wasn't right. She asked Bone but she denied it.

I don't share that opinion. When Raylene I think it was, found out about it and got her uncles to beat him up, Bone still lived with Anney. They knew he was abusing her and didn't seem to do anything about it unless they saw it for themselves.

Little Mikey Myers that lived across the street.
