Was why she was always running from Mother
A lot of times, children who grow up with a neglective/alcoholic/abusive parent try not to think that there's anything wrong with their family. The girl probably didn't want to think that her mother was being bad, but something inside of her told her to get away, and she can't place what it is.

The girl hasn't been a good person and has sinned because either she's been literally running from her mother and she's been on the road by herself, and when you're in that situation, sometimes theft and selling yourself is the only way to get around. Or she's been affected by her mother, who maybe was an alcoholic or abusive, and has turned into a person just like her mother.
