#1 actually, looks like the drug-dealing antics of her parents as well as common-knowledge in the 'hood that they'd received a $150,000 payment (Foxnews had this, but I don't recall if it was an inheritance, insurance chk , or what), which is coincidentally what the ransom demand was....those two thugs that have their mugshots on the news nationwide are dead meat... and although the mother lived less than a block away, the brave little girl was living with her Grandmother...sad case, even with a good ending

#2 I have a nine year old, and it's hard for me to imagine that at seven, she would have done this. Kicked out a door panel? This young girl is going to go a long way in life.

Apparently genetics isn't everything.

#3 There must have been some reason she was living with her grandmother, but nobody's blaming this on the parents. The uncle DID deal drugs, and grandma was thought -- it's not confirmed -- to have received a $150K death benefit. Inquirer story

#4 Keep an eye on that one! I agree with Steve, she'll go a long way. I just hope she joins the right side.

Steve -- What did you mean by this comment? I must not be following you.

#6 "Genetics isn't everything"... If the whole family seems predisposed to be goofy, that doesn't mean Erica follows the family predisposition.
