Unless she was scared into not telling or they did something to her because if she's still living and refuse to tell who father her child. Something smell funny about this, it was either her own father which wouldn't be a surprise since he should have been the ONLY man around in her young little life or it was someone else in the family like an uncle or close friend of the family, pretty much the same way it happens today. Then it could be that because it was such a horrible thing that happen to her being so young she might have blocked it out.
