      Not to nitpick but stepmother’s doesn’t care as much as real mother’s does. I watched my cousin growing up. Her stepmother was a wicked woman. She would take care of her own kids and loved them so much but my cousin would get beat up for no reason at all. She would leave the seven years old child alone when she used to go to her mother’s or friends house. Poor little girl Rest In Peace!

      America has always been this way - in fact it used to be much worse. Statistically, children are safer today than they were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago. The difference is that because of the internet and media reach, we hear more about these cases than we did decades ago. Think of how many child murderers there are - people are what they are - now imagine these people were also repeat offenders. It's nearly impossible to get away with these sorts of crimes in todays world, therefore, the incidents themselves are rare and repeat offenders are even rarer.

      Exactly Gaming Chef , I’m not trying to judge , but it doesn’t sound like they had a good relationship I believe they showed the stepmother earlier , completely stoic no emotion, I truly believe outcome would have been different if the father had been home and not hunting ! At least I pray 🙏🏾 Thank God the Fed-ex driver turned himself in ! If there is any more dark it will come to light ! Just so sad 😞 our babies being slain everyday all day ! God Bless 🙏🏾♥️

    When she is inside, I always know where she is.
    She is not allow to open the door, unless is daddy or my son who are knocking on the door.
    I've seen to many forensic cases were little girls have been abducted for being by themselves infront of the house, driveway or backyard. So, I'm very careful with my little one.

    FEDEX Corporation should immediately require all contractor drivers to be fingerprinted, photographed, drug test and a comprehensive criminal background and credit check be conducted. This driver was probably using his own personal vehicle, had no official uniform or identification badge. The news media is now stating the driver didn’t have a background check to begin with. FedEx you should be ashamed for cutting corners. Every employee should be an in-house employee, even if you have to hire part-timers…. At least you can screen out who you are hiring.

      Fed ex gives their packages to private companies..It was the private company who was suppose to do the vetting, and I can assure you they are so desperate for drivers at this time of year, they didn't vet hard enough..but also understand this may have been the abductors first offense, because he was easily caught..too bad not quick enough to save the child.

      Parents murder their own kids. So, why blame Fed Ex?

    The depravity of humanity in the murder of this adorable girl " Athena Strand " won't even begin to tell the pain involved.. till we stop putting emotion's in the way of punishment, so will evil deprive us of all the people. My blessing's to the Strand family & friend's from SC.. my family & I offer our deepest condolences in this time of grief.

      If God and Jesus were protecting us as the Bible says, nothing would have happened to the little girl. Hope you don't have to rely on them in your life. What is it going to take to wake you religious people up. That truth is in your face, and you still can't see.

      We need both healing from the trauma of learning of this tragedy, healing and comfort for the family and vindication and vengeance against every kidnapper, child molester, sex traffickers, rappist and the like. We plead your blood Lord Jesus. Keep our children and families safe!!!!
