Ally Steinfeld was only 17 years-old. She was openly transgender and living as a female. She had just come out on Instagram a few months ago and her family was just now coming to terms with it and her life was taken.
Ally was born Joseph Matthew Steinfeld and had gone by the name Joey. In a recent interview, her mother, Amber Steinfeld, said she had moved from Licking, Missouri in Texas County to House Springs, which is about two hours north. Ally was couch-surfing, staying with various friends, and occasionally staying with her mother. Amber feels that her daughter was always safe and had plenty to eat. Of course, the attack that took the child’s life is evidence that she was anything but safe.
