Cleo was a foster kid who was tranfered from one home to another and she was being maltreated. She was 16 when she went to prison and 21 when she sold her body for money to cover the bill for her mum's surgery which was a false lie. "what how do I know if you did what I asked you to do and besides your mother is dead" Ford said and some men brought the dead body of her mother. She wasn't given the money, she was thrown out of the house and banned from coming thereby story behind her being a murderer?.
