'You cannot just walk around judging these kids, and you never had a conversation with these kids. You don't know these kids. I've been around these kids, and they're good kids. nothing but respect I ever got from all of them,' said the Stevens' family member.
Stevens' family tells us they have received hateful messages and fears for the safety of their loved ones.
