Discussion Unknown Number High-school Catfish Spoiler

What the hell did I just watch? And what the hell was this person thinking?

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

I am surprised people thought Netflix were sympathetic to her i thought it was pretty clear they were showing an unrepentant manipulative megalomaniac but why wasn't she charged as a sex offender? Maybe thats why they avoided it beyond that statement to avoid getting sued. But having it at the end made us all remember the probable reason WHY. Because she was lusting after a child.

i see people complaining that she didn’t face sex offense related charges as if that’s the documentaries fault. netflix was not the prosecutor in the case. they showed every sick nasty message she sent and had owen describe how she was trying to groom him. anyone with a pulse watching that documentary is aware she’s a pedophile.
