Angel said, "It wasn’t his responsibility to carry all that weight."

She continued emphasizing how his innocence was taken away from him. With long tour periods, he only wished to be at home.

Instead of allowing him to come back home, Angel said their parents would encourage him to finish the tour by promising things like a boat bought with his own money in return. Nonetheless, all Aaron wanted was to be at home. Angel Carter said, "His innocence was not protected." Of all the five, the only surviving Carter siblings are Angel and Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys.
