The mother died of cancer of the womb, which, this was not detected in a timely manner, and was proliferated by the body, which caused his death at the end. The girl because of her orphanage, was guarded by the biological father, who had not lived with them for many years and had never been responsible for them, however, was the only family to whom the authorities could deliver the girl. The father, was an alcoholic person, with problems of drug addiction and belongs to a band of criminals called "maras Salvatruchas", with which, this from the beginning, was the worst possible influence for the girl, an immoral and toxic environment in her whole. After a few months, the maternal aunt, decided to fight in her country for the custody of the girl, and when the authorities corroborated that the father was a person in conflict with the law, decided to take the girl and give it to the maternal aunt. However, the father was not going to settle for just losing the girl, he tried by means of intimidation and blackmail of all kinds, death threats, trying to persuade the intentions of the maternal aunt, who in the end, had to flee the country by your safety, not without first, taking the child with you, through the corresponding legal procedures.
The girl says that during the short time she was with the father, she watched as he got drunk, went in with other people to get high and heard "strange noises" in the room where the father had sexual relations with women, but the girl did not He interpreted the reality that lived by his innocence.
