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?

When the FBI said it was the mom I paused it to see how much time there was left in the documentary.....because I was almost positive that somehow someway the true catfish was using the mother's number remotely. It took me several minutes to fully digest that it was actually the mom. Total bizarro.

Yes and I’m still left with questions! Why did Khloe’s dad say “Shawn and Lauryn will play the victim?” As though they knew something? Why did they blame officer Main so much? Why was Lauryn allowed to with her mom in prison then cut off when she got out?

To be honest, that was kind of a vile statement to do, especially since Khloe's dad is an officer himself. Truth been told it did not seem at all that Shawn or Lauryn played victims. Sure one can say that it is odd that Shawn did not pick up that his wife lost her jobs and that she had several phones laying around etc, yet again, master manipulators are masters at their crafts for a reason...they don't just get that title from nothing. Just look at Lauryn, the poor girl still doesn't even grasp what her mom actually did to her...
Khloe's parents blamed Main because he went in directly to investigate Khloe instead of first talking to all other involved parties. So they were pissed about that.

Kendra controlled all the money, he didn't even know she wasn't paying the rent and bills until the eviction notice was on the door. I can see how she could hide it from him if she pays all the bills and she's in IT so maybe "works from home" often and doesn't have to rush off anywhere some days or any day.
