“She believed that everybody was her friend,” Yady Alatorre, the mother of the victim, told Fox 26.
“I would tell her, like, some people are not your friends. And she was just like, no, you just don’t know them. They’re my friends. And I wish she just understood that, you know, a mom knows best,” the elder Alatorre added.
