It was disturbing.
Caught part of it ... the family from Lake Placid, NY, and I'm referring to the parents, give white trash a bad name.
I didn't see the show but Hannity & Colmes interviewed Diane Sawyer the other night about the show. She was pretty horrified by what they found also. I guess, technically, the family you speak of has been turned into the officials since this was seen nationwide.
I didn't see the show but I wouldn't consider step families "typically dysfunctional". Certainly no more than the so called "normal" family.
It's not surprising that an alphabet network doesn't have enough moral compass to spot abuse of children even in one of their own "investigative" stories.
Sine many of us missed it, can you describe the show with some (clean) details?
I watched the program last night. The abuse of the teen aged daughter was beyond shameful. She appeared to be trying to do right, but she didn't have a chance with those two creeps. It was apparent to me that the step mom was a jealous fat a$$ pig. If I understand correctly, the father is a national guardsman. The military has strong ways of dealing with members who commit domestic violence. If any one knows this jerk's unit, please notify his commander. The video footage clearly shows him bringing discredit on the armed services. These sorry excuses for parents are not likely to make a positive change. Appropriate agencies should take action to protect the young children still living with those two child abusers.
It was horrific. That step mother was completely jealous of Kyle the step daughter. She even felt jealous of her showing attention to her half siblings.
I watched it, and I was outraged by what they did to that poor girl. I still am. It's no wonder that she has emotional problems. I hope she stays living with her grandparents. She seems to be doing good with them. I think her dad and step mom both should be arrested for child abuse. I'm surprised the military hasn't stepped in. Maybe now that it's gone public they will.
That family was absolute trash. That poor girl was doing more for her half sibs than their own mother was. All that lazy good for nothing cow did was sit around the house while her step daughter played with the kids. And that spinelss father that poor girl has....what an impotent jerk.
