Angular Nested Comments - Values undefined when submitting form

Question

I am trying to get a dynamic script for nested comments to work.

My first problem is that I don't know how I can do endless nesting. For now I planned to do 3 layers, cause I don't know how to make it work dynamicly.

The second problem is that when i submit the form, the values of the models is not submitted to the JS-script. The values are just undefined.

I guess my approach is just wrong - The ng-model elements are not bound inside of the ng-repeat, also the values of all forms would be bound to the same element... Maybe someone has some tips. If it is important, my backend runs with Laravel 4. Here is my code

var commentsApp = angular.module('commentsApp', []);

function CommentsCtrl($scope, $http, $compile) {

    var url_segments = window.location.host.split('.');
    var section = url_segments[0];

    $http.get('/api/' + section + window.location.pathname + '/comments').success(function (comments) {
        $scope.comments = comments;
    });

    $scope.toggleForm = function (id) {

        var container = document.getElementById(id);

        var html = '<br/><input name="category" type="text" ng-model="person.category" placeholder="Category" required/><span class="alert alert-error ng-show="add-bro.input.$error.required">Required</span>';

        var elem = $compile(html)($scope);
        angular.element(container).append(elem);
    }

    $scope.addComment = function () {
        var comment = {
            body: $scope.body,
            commentable_id: $scope.commentable_id,
            commentable_type: $scope.commentable_type
        };

        $scope.comments.push(comment);
    };


}

commentsApp.controller('CommentsCtrl', CommentsCtrl);

 <div class="content-row basic" ng-controller="CommentsCtrl" class="comments">
                    <form ng-submit="addComment()">
