When Faith comes into Buffy she's alone and on the run. We learn that her dad was never in the picture and her mum was an addict. Her watcher killed.
There's been lots of discussion on how vulnerable Faith was and was desperate for attention and a need to feel wanted. She eventually found that with the Mayor.
However, should Buffy or Giles have taken her in and given her a stable home and environment? Both had enough space in their house. As Giles was watcher to both, should he have taken responsibility and given her a home rather than leave her in a cheap motel? If he had, would things have turned out differently?
