As child services arrived and began procedures, NICK and BRETT ASHLEY SIRIANNI stayed with the girl, sitting on the floor beside her, speaking softly, offering snacks, and helping her calm down. Witnesses reported that the girl refused to let go of Brett Ashley’s hand, even when staff tried to lead her away.
More than a football story
