The final Instagram Story consisted of a video that showed Schroeder’s late former stepfather pretending to call Santa Claus to convince Hartford to behave.
“You want to her to do what? Listen to mom and dad? Okay I’ll tell her. Okay, don’t make threats it’s all good. They will settle her down,” said Schroeder’s previous stepfather with his phone to his ear.
After Hartford inquired why he was on the phone, he replied that Santa “heard [her] screaming.”
“He called me to make sure that you don’t,” Czermak said to Hartford in the video.
“Calling Santa to scare Hartford into behaving,” read the post’s caption.
