A 10-year-old girl who claimed she was living alone in a trailer for four months with little food and no running water may have exaggerated her situation, police said.
Ashton Denice Saylor told police on Mother's Day that her mother had not been at their Sand Springs trailer since Ashton's birthday Jan. 9, forcing her to eat dog food.But school officials said Ashton ate breakfast and lunch every day at her school. Police say they also believe her mother may have been around.
"It may be that the girl maybe was unsupervised instead of abandoned, which is still bad," said Sheriff's Capt. Jerry Griffin.
