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?

Also, what the hell is up with the parents of Khloe? It was hinted at by Sean that her dad is a dirty cop and her mom doesn’t believe Lauryn and Sean are victims in this?

They were right. It was pretty clear Lauryn was in on it. Her reaction when she was informed who did it made it obviously clear.

Also, why were her friends suspecting she was 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.

That’s putting a lot of faith in teenagers conducting experiments and investigations. People react to shock and bad news differently. I think we need more evidence before we can say Lauryn was involved.
