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?

So livid after watching this. Holy hell. Let me rant some thoughts/questions I have after watching.

How did the cops not immediately separate Kendra from her daughter/victim when they came to the house?? Instead they let her creepily hold/pet her? Wtf?

Why was the sexual component treated like an afterthought?? Why weren't there specific charges relating to that and why when they did briefly touch on that with Owen's mother did they try to sugarcoat it with older pictures of him instead of younger pictures of him when it actually started to drive home how creepy and fucked up it was?

Why did they give a platform to Kendra after sexually harassing children? Why did they try to humanize her and make us sympathetic with her to some degree? Would they do that with a grown man who sent equally sexually explicit messages to children?

Why didn't they focus more on how Kendra went after the new girl that Owen was talking to and her mother and what that means? I.e. that she did in fact have a fixation on him that went beyond her daughter

Why are they ALLOWING ANY contact between Lauryn and her mother after everything??

That woman belongs under the jail. For life.

Lauryn needs a world of therapy. It's almost like she needs deprogramming even

Right there with you. The whole thing made me sick. My own mother is a piece of work..so watching this really set my teeth on edge. Her sitting there so smug comparing what she did to someone drunk driving?! Okie that is not good either..terrible in fact..but to try and act like cyber bullying her daughter for what..2 years, wasn't so bad. Then the love bombing from prison. And the guilt and manipulation. I was furious because I recognised it. That poor girl needs to run far away from that woman.

Drunk Driving is bad but is a mistake. I don't think anyone wakes up and intends to drive drunk that day. 

She deliberately chose to do what she did for 18 fucking months, it's beyond mental.

A mistake? Wtf it's definitely a choice!

I ask this sincerely: Aren’t most mistakes a choice?
