Cupcake is out of control, she has ran away 6 times in total. Each time she was returned home , back to square one with her abusive foster family. During her runaways she has come really far. Cupcake has been hitch hiking her way to every big name place ,LA ,New York to every small town. To make money on her own Cupcake has been turning tricks (prostitution). One of the questions I have to ask my self is why did Mr.Bassinet give his 13 year old new foster child LSD? I guess some where alone the line he felt like she would tell someone that "cheerleading " was not real, Mr Bassinet was making cupcake do sexual pleasures. In return he was supplying her with all sorts of drugs, LSD,coke,and well of course alcohol . This man is one of the reason cupcake because a drug addict. This leads me to my next question.
Why did cupcake feel the need to drug her self up ? I believe that Cupcake did the to numb the pain , not only mentally but psychically as well. With being raped and beaten all the time im impressed that she is still alive. With all these new people around her just paying her for sex she must feel so worn down . Kids her age should be outside playing , but instead she is out there fending for her self.
