Dad Notices Daughter Goes to Abandoned Trailer Park Every Night and Follows Her — Story of the Day
A man discovers that his 15-year-old daughter is slipping away every afternoon. He follows her to a mysterious abandoned trailer park to find out whom she has been meeting.
Frank Halprin was sure that there was nothing in the world harder to deal with than a teenage girl. Frank’s daughter Amy was now 15 and she was beautiful, sensitive, wonderful and completely impossible.
