    Hmmm that sucks, honestly that child should be with her family right now.

    I would agree that Zoey should be with the mother’s family. But since we do not know the details of their lives, his family might be the best at this point considering it was reported he killed Kasandra in front of her own mother. Just a sad situation all around. Prayers to those left behind to deal with the aftermath.

    It was his mother actually. And why should she be with the mother’s family? It was his daughter too.

    It would be better for the child if she stays with his family because she will grow up looking like her father and that would be to her family a constant reminder of what happened to the childs mother but his family would show her unconditional love and be sympathetic to her needs and nurture her growth and remember the good for the sake of her (the child).
