But the group also reminded parents to keep an eye on their children at all times, according to the notice.

The complex management said a crisis intervention meeting would be set up with tenants "as soon as possible."

Met's family, including his parents, six brothers and one sister, arrived in Utah only two weeks ago. Met was the oldest sibling. He lived in a refugee camp in Thailand for 10 years before coming to Utah about a month ago.

Ra He Mar said the family was making plans to have Met move back in with them now that they were all living again in the same country.

Mar said she did not understand the legal system in America and did not know what would happen to her son. She said, however, that she was worried about him. Mar said she had not spoken to her son since his arrest. Another aunt, however, said she had talked to him Tuesday and did not notice his behavior was out of the ordinary, according to interpreter Bawmu Everest from the Asian Association of Utah and the Utah Refugee Center.

Mar called Cartoon Wah a "very kind" man. As for Moo's death, she said they felt sad.

At the entrance of the apartment complex, a makeshift memorial for Moo continued to grow with candles, flowers, stuffed animals and messages to the young girl left on the curb.

"I'm upset, hurt, disappointed ... all at the same time," said Tiffany Hunter, who participated in the search for Moo. Hunter was also a participant in the volunteer search for Elizabeth Smart in 2002.

"She's a child, she doesn't deserve this. There are sick people in the world."
