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 police told Lauryn that it was all her mother’s doing, 3 things were surprising: first, the daughter showed no reaction at all and second, she hugged her as if trying to act like someone else was responsible and to protect her. and last, she has the nerve to show her face and say all those bs in this documentary

I had the exact same feeling, seeing Lauryn's (lack) of reaction when the police informed her who did it. She was clearly in on it.

Also, why were her friends suspecting her doing it to herself early on? That was also very strange. Also that "experiment" one of her friends did, where the only person who was always around when certain information was shared, which was then popping up in messages, was... Lauryn.

I think the argument that "she's only a child" is totally irrelevant. Children can be extremely mean sometimes, and don't have a well defined sense of morality. Manipulated by the wrong people, they can even become monsters and commit horrible crimes.

Do you know anything about childhood trauma? Or trauma? You seem absolutely clueless.
