Unbelievably Gullible People

Wow. Just wow. Like everyone else, I was screaming at the TV because of the utter stupidity of this girls parents. I wanted to reach through the screen and slap them silly. I get they were from a small town and naive, but after he kidnapped her, took her to Mexico and married her (she was 12, by the way) you think they would have wised up. And when she was acting distant and strange, did they seek help? Therapy? No. In fact they let him back into their lives. Those parents were dysfunctional and unhealthy and selfish. At the end of the movie the mother said something along the lines she could help but feel it was all her fault, at which point I yelled at the TV "because it is"!The story is outrageous and disturbing, but I can't help but feel as a documentary it could have been better. So many unanswered questions. More people should have been interviewed to give other perspectives of this bizarre story. What about the guys wife and kids? Why didn't the church excommunicate him after he kinapped her? A psychiatrist could have weighed in. It would have been interesting to hear the opinions other people in the community had about both families. Was everyone under the spell of this guy? They also glossed over that he had molested other girls. There was so much more to explore.Ultimately, I recommend it just for the sheer train wreck aspect of the whole thing.

This shows how some people should not be able to raise children

A solid, God fearing couple allow a friendly neighbour to befriend their children, ignore him being fixated on one of them, allow him to take her away and have sex with her and marry her when she was 12, then when they get her back they allow him to sleep in her bed for most nights of the week for months. In between raping the child he also has sex with both the father and the mother! To protect their virtue, they lie to the FBI about the child rape so as not to have their own sexual relations with him made public. Honestly, they should be jailed for child endangerment and this is a perfect example of when some people should be sterilised or have their children taken from them. if this was not a true story you would never believe it in a 100 years.
