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?

Not sure it was the documentary's job to do that, that was on the police...they fucked up

The police have the majority of responsibility. But documentaries are supposed to be investigative journalism. They should have asked her, Are you a pedophile? Did you volunteer at the school to get closer to Owen? Why did you stalk Owens new girlfriend? Why did you attend Owen's games when he was no longer dating your daughter? Her answer would have been lies but the implication would at least be aired.

I wish they could have asked all of these things, but I bet in order to get her to even participate they probably had some kind of contract to avoid certain questions. I hate that they didn’t pointedly ask her, but I think (judging by everyone in here) we all see the truth and not a single person could argue otherwise, this woman is a dangerous pedo.

The documentary, to an extent, did draw attention to the failings of the police, but not to that particular failing. They could, and should, have asked why Kendra was never viewed by police or prosecutors as a child sex offender, in addition to asking Kendra herself tougher questions about that.
