[Music] family and although the girl was in the full custody of her mother Brandon took an active part in his daughter's life and often took her along with his mother it's so happened that Linda Alvarez turned out to be exactly the person who brought up Octavia the older the girl became the more time she spent with her paternal grandmother Destiny and Brandon dated for almost 7 years however at the end of 2023 they finally broke up Destiny and Octavia now lived in EV Ville at Spring Valley Apartments Destiny worked at a nearby McDonald's and shared an apartment with two roommates although Octavia was a very positive child and roommates treated her well Octavia loved it when her father came and took her to Fort Wayne to visit her grandmother the drive took almost 5 hours but Octavia never complained she knew that for a whole week she would live with her grandmother and her father would come over after work that Uncle Caleb Li's family would visit them and she would have lots of fun playing with her little cousin Jeremiah Octavia was a bright happy girl she laughed a lot and made friends easily on the playground the girl loved to spend time Outdoors but at home she was also always busy playing with her toys drawing and coloring Octavia liked to dress up and aqua makeup in the evening she watched her favorite Paw Patrol Jurassic Park Powerpuff Girls My Little Pony and

Christian in the company of Destiny roads at her home authorities transferred Christian to a youth care center and then returned him to Fort Wayne shockingly Destiny had been arrested for delinquency of a minor in connection with Christian's case however Chris Christian went missing once again coinciding with the time Destiny's case was heard in court in an apparent attempt to protect the teenage boy a protective order was issued against Destiny roads on behalf of Christian Gonzalez given these circumstances it is astounding and deeply concerning that Octavia was allowed to remain in her mother's custody even though she actually lived with her father and grandmother on June 10th Brandon at Destiny's request brought their daughter to her from Fort Wayne to Evansville Octavia was expected to spend the next week with her mother if only Brandon and Linda Alvarez knew who was hiding in Destiny rhs's apartment they never would have brought the girl back to her mother but
