    I don't think anyone is buying that she didn't know. It would be impossible not to notice how unhealthy the children looked for 29 years.
  • The young girl who escaped is a true hero who deserves praise from the highest order
  • @xocoolchickxo
    I think just to be on the safe side the kids shouldn't go to any of the family members,find them a new non-biological family that will give them the life they deserve.
  • She's lying plain and simple and the children should be kept away from the rest of the family
  • @darky1376
    There is a documentary on her and her sister titled Evil lives here : my twisted sister . She knew about the abuse since the older kids were young.. And she didn't report anything. Now she is here for clout. Disgusting
  • The other sister stayed with them, saw the weirdness, sat in a van to “babysit” the kids while the parents gambled, saw their physical skinny bodies, saw how they spoke, were treated with food, how they were always in their rooms and the weird permissions they had to ask, the sister also was sexually advanced on by David and Louise and fled, but never thought about what was happening to the kids? That’s a problem, people ignored all the signs.
  • @jackblack4359
    One of the kids tried to escape all the way back in 2000 but the neighbors just brought em back.
  • @1951kvk
    Oh sure, now they are concerned, not when they knew the family was WEIRD, really bizarre. Everyone and especially their extended family and neighbors failed these children.
  • @JustMe-mz3te
    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Keep this lady away from them, my goodness.
  • @anayarey7865
    Why are we pretending that she has nothing to do with this? Can nobody tell she a relative and didn't notice anything wrong. C'mon now
  • @gt6601
    Why do these shows do these interviews with relatives like they aren't part of the problem?
  • What a nut case.anything to get some attention.Those kids do not need to be put back in the same insane family.
  • @nursetinalouise
    My aunts looked away while my brother and I were neglected to moderate degree as well, though thankfully not this severe. As an adult one aunt has come after me, though. Sick!
  • @MH-yj4qq
    I’m so sick of seeing this woman. She knew something was wrong. And it’s her family that raised the psycho mom in the first place. I hope those kids don’t go anywhere near these psychos
  • @soulshaker205
    I know a lot of people think she's lying, but I really don't think she is. I think she was just extremely naive.
  • @Carol-gs5tu
    It's common for evil people be good at covering up abuse. Even from family members. Its not like contact and visits were constant! However its common in severe cases for this evil to exist and no one know. It's unbelievable in fact to many. Pathological lying goes a long way to cover up domestic abuse etc.
  • Any family members with half a brain would know that something is wrong unless they were completely estranged. She is lying and I hope those kids never have anything to do with the immediate family except the siblings sticking together.
  • @Zandergov
    1:06 she was about to say something that she should have and changed her word real quick
  • @jcherrax
    I used to work in law enforcement for a bit and witness some cruel things but man this is beyond disturbing
