I got a feeling that the step mom liked and enjoyed egging on the stepdaughter and was the one who started just about every confrontation.
In addition, the dad and stepmom were full of excuses for their behavior and I felt Diane let them get away with that.

I agree with you the stepmom was the instigator. You could see the sick jealousy in her face when she was watching the stepdaughter play with the stepmom's children.
They probably did let them get away with it to a certain extent or else the family wouldn't have let them air the film. It's good that it was aired because the abuse was brought out into the open to be seen by all. No way can there be any denial about the abuse.
oh for sure, Diane did nothing. If I was her i would have said, how does it feel beating up on a child huh? Does it feel good daddy soldier and tough ugly beeeaaccchh stepmom!
Diane wimped out and she did a horrible job!
