Teen Prepares To Face Her Family's Accused Killer

Rebecca Cardenas talks with a teen prepared to face her family's accused killer.

[@mymy-io5cv]

Stop making assumptions

[@paigeanguish6216]

nah it’s more of your mind kinda separating emotions from terrible memories, like you can talk about trauma and not break down talking about it, you can think about your loved ones without getting so upset and overwhelmed, other people might see it as you moving on or being strong but it’s not even really you doing it it’s your brains way of keeping you from going crazy tbh. i lost my dad in April and my grandma in may exactly one month later on Mother’s Day and her birthday the only way i didn’t kill myself was my brain keeping it away even if I think of them every day it’s like i still don’t really think deep enough into it to be as depressed as I was right when it happened bc my brain knows “realizing” it I guess, is what will keep me crying and depressed for weeks straight. idk it’s very hard to explain & understand

[@kayleedesroches6318]

I mean the only thing you can do is to cope and try to heal. When your family is murderd in front of you I don’t think you can ever just get “over it”.

[@teeteefantroy9760]

@@paigeanguish6216 I get it. I lost my mom 7-24-19. I am her only child. It didn’t hit me until I got to the hospital and was told “she didn’t make it! Even tho I knew in my heart when the ambulance left she was gone. But to hear those words made me almost go crazy. I pulled myself together and even tho after a while I didn’t talk about it I still hurt on the inside. My condolences to you and Rip to my best friend. I love you mommy!

[@manfrummt]

Nobody should have to go through this. But if anyone can persevere, it's this strong young lady - with God's help.

[@birdytvcertified]

Amen to that , I feel for her so deeply and it saddens me but I do really hope that she can heal at least just a little bit every day little by little as well as her younger sister that also endured this horrible event. God is good and is always available to help us when we need his strength and guidance. I hope they know they can call on him and depend on his mercy and glory and love to help them in their lives🤍

[@ziasialowery8974]

You so brave I’m proud of you 🙌🏾

[@LuvBugBlaqkHart]

I just want to add that nobody is selfish for being overtaken by grief and truama. I understand her will to fight and I respect that but I wanted to add this for other truama survivors... it's not selfish to drown. I'm glad she seemingly has a really good support system around her. She is really strong but I hope that she can allow herself be gentle with herself.

[@anghoppi]

For those who don't believe the death penalty is needed.... this is why!!

[@Anna133199]

Nope. Extremely tragic event. I feel for the girl, but it's not a valid reason to be pro-death penalty, imo. Even if it's just to prevent innocent people from dying by death penalty, it's reason enough to be against it.

[@anghoppi]

@@Anna133199 If there's no reasonable doubt...... it's on the table. I'm for prison reform, police reform, and I don't think citizens should have weapons of war, but if there's no reasonable doubt it's on the table unless the victims feel strongly against it.

[@Anna133199]

@@anghoppi There's a difference between having no reasonable doubt in the court room and guilt. Just because a jury might be convinced doesn't mean a person actually did it, even if there's prison reform, police reform, etcetera. There are very few cases where it's absolutel 100% certainty because of great camera's, plus admission of guilt, etcetera. So in my view then the question becomes are you willing as a society to let a few innocent people be executed to quench your thirst for revenge?

[@anghoppi]

@@Anna133199 Cross my family and allow the judicial system to let the defendant walk...... we're good.

[@sunmist22]

Absolutely right, but the system will give him life, he will smile and get over by never feeling any remorse or guilt. The system protects perpetrators and victims can only stand by and watch. This is why they are bolder in America than anywhere else in the world!

[@smilemorecrylater47]

I really hate this. We go through life daily not knowing how we will go let alone get murdered or have a friend/family member be murdered. Then live the rest of your life without them. It’s just the biggest life change. I really feel for Alexis and I’m so sorry for your loss. Just too tragic and painful. Keep being strong Alexis! And may your family Rest In Peace

This is the thing with dating men, you gotta love your kid's more than these men!!! I have a kid and zero dating life and if I do anything (when I used to)....I kept it out of my home where my son lives. I'm two years plus celibate today and it's no big deal...no one NEEDS that, you gotta choose your kids especially when you've failed to choose a better father for them... you owe it to yourself and them to keep men out of the equation and focus.

[@ChrissyAnn85]

That’s a sad outlook. But I understand. However, there are so many happy blended families out here. Don’t let your fear over take your happiness. There are so many more stores if men killing, raping and abusing their own blood children. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@omadjourney]

@@ChrissyAnn85 sad maybe but I've seen a whole lot worse than good, I'm not saying if the right man came along I wouldn't be open to it as I have dated good men but they were not where I was at that stage of life ,many women are willing to kiss as many frogs as it takes to get to that elusive prince...all that bringing men into kids lives is not good, date away from the kids and if someone is worth bringing around the kids then do so only then. Most men are not looking for women with kids to wife but there's this assumption that somehow we are desperate and will settle for any joker...no...let a man earn the right to be around your most treasured asset and that's your babies.

@@genj1184 it’s actually not a rarity. Lol “her own selfish needs”. Smh wake up the world isn’t all morbid. I guess my entire family is just rare. 🤷🏽‍♀️ My family in general embraces each other. lol have uncles and aunts who’ve remarried and have included their extra kids as their own. In fact ex spouses travel with each other with their new spouses to our family reunions. Our motto is once you’re family you’re always family. We just had dignity and respect for each other. So my mom just picked the right person. He was also her college sweetheart. They dated way before I was even a thought. They parted ways because she ended up transferring to a different school. 16yrs later they reconnected. I shouldn’t have to give my parents whole background to explain that there are some good people out there you just have to have discernment. 🤷🏽‍♀️
