Comment How old is she? (Score 2) 326
I know it shouldn't matter, but reading this it does. If she's 8, 9 or 10 I feel more sympathetic than if she's 19 or 25. All the article says is "daughter", a daughter can be any age, and a little kid may not understand, a teen looking to cause trouble or an adult looking to make a name for themselves. It changes the dynamic of the story reading this depending on how old I imagine the daughter to be. If they didn't want to give her age, then grade school, high school, college could have been used, just to frame it.
