What's being ignored here in terms of public help, is that this 9-year old girl turned to alcohol and became an alcoholic while living in a horrible family situation. Perhaps her family was genetically inclined towards alcoholism and mental illness. Where were her neighbors? Where were the police?  Where were Social Services and foster care? Perhaps if she had help early on, her following 49 years of life would have been much different. We should all watch out for each other.Blessings to Carrie Lucinda Miller, and those who love her.
