Parents brushed her off probably thinking their daughter had a nightmare or that, whatever it is she was afraid of, was nothing but child’s imagination. Therefore they did what majority of parents would have done. “There is nothing to be afraid of. Go to sleep” – they said. The girl listened to her parents and went back to her bedroom. The entire house fell asleep again. However, soon after parents were awoken from their sleep by their daughter one more time. “I’m scared” – that’s all she said once again. Parent
