Who's right?

A little girl was born. Her mother got divorced and got a restraining order on the dad based on his drug and alcohol use. The little girl never saw her dad after she turned one. The mother remarried. The little girl wouldn't listen. The mother would try and try and try to teach her daughter the simplest things, like saying thank you when trick or treating or not to run around during naptime in preschool. Her mother didn't know she was being molested by the babysitter on a regular basis. Then the little girl started behaving worse. She was described as a child that had lights on, but no one was home. She got kicked out of a christian preschool for having a potty mouth and being mean to the other kids. She even got into trouble for inappropriate things like undressing and exposing herself. Her mom's husband adopted her, but never really bonded or even tried to. He had his own kids with her. When she was 7 she got into a fight with her mom and screamed she wanted to die. Additional Details 3 hours ago Things progressed...fast forward to age 13 and the little girl started running away. She made some really bad decisions and started using a lot of drugs when she ran away. She ended up getting raped. When she sobered-up and came home she was hoping to have been missed and instead she was placed in an inpatient mental health facility. When she got out she ran away again. Then she was left to sleep in the backyard when she came back. Her mother wouldn't allow her in the house for over a week. She was afraid for her other children even though her daughter had never been any meaner to them than most older siblings are to younger ones. After about 8 or 9 days, the little girl was shipped off to her grandparents out of state, but she had so much anger inside her that she wasn't willing to start over. So, her grandparents shipped her back home where she spent another week and a half living out in the backyard because her mother refused to let her in. Finally the girl left and called CPS. 3 hours ago The mother was not charged with anything because she was in the process of filling out an incorrigible packet. After the girl was taken into state custody, she was taken to a doctor to be examined because she had over 100 various bug bites all over her from sleeping on the ground. The mother swears she did everything she could for her daughter and she just didn't have anymore options. So the girl spent the rest of her teens in group homes, where she ran away every chance she got. Now that this girl is an adult and a mother, she still tries to keep in contact with her family, but obviously the bonds aren't there and she is constantly left out of things like birthdays and family information. What do you think? Who is wrong? The daughter for being introverted and not communicating, and acting out and disobeying? Or the mother for trying to keep the rest of the family together?
