10 Year Old Virginia Girl Dies at Versailles

[Anonymous]

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but if the mother had custody as of June, wouldn’t she have had the authority to stop the international travel? If there was an ongoing custody dispute, wouldn’t the court have had to approve any international trip?

This is per her report only and she seems like a nutter. She was also the one to pick up and move away pretty quickly. It seems messy AF but her GFM is all over the place on the technicalities.

Well, considering both parents have started public GoFundMe pages and seem quite happy to publicly continue their nasty marital grievance, this thread seems pretty harmless. Poor kids though.

It seems to someone started one for dads side to raise money to bring her back home. Does anyone know what mom is raising money for because she is upset that a go fund me page was started for dad and that she has the means to help with the cost of bringing her home.

Honestly the photos of the girl do seem like she has a genetic or other physical condition affecting her growth. She’s not just overweight she’s also very short for being 10, which is why I think there is more going on. A good friend’s child has a similar build and has a serious, genetic and degenerative health condition. It seems a lot more was going on here.

Autistic kids are often on the smaller side. In part due to restricted eating and also due to correlated issues with gut and nutrient absorption.

Agree. Takes daughter on luxury vacation during custody battle. Is the parent on site when daughter dies. Cannot even keep bio mom in the loop. Inhumane even if they were viciously arguing. Now they are no longer even permanently tied, but he can't put the battling aside.

100% this. I think the mom is.so devastated and bio dad and stepmother are just twisting the knife.

But other than asking for lawyer recs in Virginia she doesn’t even say what she is asking for. She’s just venting about her ex.

“… I am equally responsible for any associated costs. He has not informed me of expenses for repatriating our daughter…”

But she doesn’t title it “funeral and repatriation expenses for my daughter.”

She calls it “a mother’s quest for the truth” like the donations are paying for this “quest.”

She wants answers. Why is that so hard to understand?

You don’t need a go fund me to find answers.

She not small though, just very very short. Regardless, there is a lot more that isn’t being said. Healthy kids don’t just drop dead - there is always an underlying health condition, even if it isn’t known yet. I’m sure the autopsy will say.

What does wanting answers have to do with mom having a go fund me page? I just don't understand.

She’s not really coherent. She should have had a friend write it for her, or at least proof it before posting. It’s unclear what she is fundraising for. Funeral expenses? A second autopsy? We can’t pay her ex to be a decent person.

What do you mean?

Being from Virginia neither this girl nor her family would be strangers to very hot weather. It doesn't mean that pertinent information is being withheld beyond what is already mentioned on here, underlying health problems triggered by heat. At the same time one does wonder if she was this susceptible then what else might have happened to lead to this tragedy. I imagine we'll learn more about her underlying health issues over the next few days as the primary focus is privacy for the family right now.

No, Virginians aren't used to very hot weather. We have air conditioning here. Our cars, shops, museums, and homes all have it. We have ice in our glasses even. I found it very difficult to keep cool while being a tourist in France.

Your response is obtuse. I live to the north of you in Maryland and am very used to hot weather, as are people all around me. The girl clearly had underlying health issues and perhaps we'll learn more, perhaps we won't.

DP, no you are the one being obtuse. France does not have the same AC/cold water availability that we do here in Virginia.

And you "imagine we'll learn more about her underlying health issues". No, you won't.

It gets hot all the time in Virginia. Every summer without fail. Every single summer. And people in Virginia are out and about exercising, running, working out, at the pool, working in gardens. Every single summer. Anyone familiar with American summers should have nothing to fear about heatwaves in France. I've been in France in heatwaves. We had a/c in our hotel, btw. And while it gets hot in Paris and London these days, it also doesn't get the humidity we get in the mid Atlantic that often makes it feel worse.

There is no epidemic of Americans dying in heat waves in Europe. The poor girl had underlying health problems that may or may not have been diagnosed.

It's hot every single summer. Every single summer I go from my air conditioned house to my air conditioned car to my air conditioned office and then reverse the process. My kids, who are lifeguards at our local pool, are acclimated from standing or sitting out in the hot weather all summer long. When we go back to Germany for a stay, I am sweltering along with the Germans precisely because I don't get acclimated to the heat. Kids are fine.

Instead of focusing on what really matters—like bringing her daughter home she contacted the person who started the fundraiser and asked them to take it down. She seems more concerned about things that no longer matter, like the fact that her daughter called the stepmom ‘mom

She was not really that short, just looks that way in the pictures compared to her stepmother, who is on the taller side. Dads not super tall either.

Autopsy said heat stroke.

Sounds like she wants to hire a lawyer or an investigator or something?

Healthy 10 year olds don’t die of heat stroke when everyone around them is fine. That may have been the proximate cause, but there has to be more.
