@Walter Hinteler,

Poor little soul was amongst a bitter custody battle for years. Her Step-Mother's relationship with her was also to be questioned and Savannah ended up in counselling. Her Father continued to find ways to ensure her Mother couldn't see her and succeeded.
She, Savannah, also had a condition that couldn't be labelled and chocolate was to be avoided. But, I am betting that "she" Savannah who resembled a mini me, of her Mother was despised because of that. Her Grandmother and Step-Mother were the major parents in her life, as her Father was a way a lot in the Military. Her Grandmother seemingly was the "boss" of everything and had to win herself. Like Mother, like Son.
This is another case whereby people hear things, see things their guard goes up and they do nothing ... including the neighbours, the bus driver, the counsellor, even perhaps the Judge.
The Father is very, questionable. Does not sound as if there was any love there, rather a pure desire to WIN at all costs, any child. He also filed suits against his "now" wife.
Quote:Meanwhile, Robert and Jessica had been going through a divorce and custody dispute as well. Records show an environment far from stable. Robert’s divorce complaint charged Savannah’s stepmother with verbal and emotional abuse. He claimed she had a drinking problem and suffered from bipolar disorder that she refused to treat.
Jessica, in turn, filed for a restraining order against Robert in August 2010. In her petition, she said Robert had become physically and mentally abusive. He “pushed her against a wall and threw her on the couch” and threatened her. “Robert has said I will never be allowed to see my son and will do whatever it take to make sure of it,” the complaint says.
Quote:Though Heather didn’t know it, she had reason to be concerned. At Joyce Garrard’s trial, Savannah’s pediatrician, Dr. Deborah Smith, cryptically testified that the relationship between Joyce, Savannah, and her stepmother Jessica "was not normal" and said she almost contacted authorities, but in the end didn't.
