she CLEARLY agreed by not saying NO. this woman has very flexible definitions of rape. he also had a restraining order against her. it's one's word against the other. A woman can manipulate an entire judiciary to believe in an offence that did not happen. The truth, slightly twisted in narrative during testimony, can convince even a judge of rape.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

@@mihirengg19 As the lawyer stated, there is a difference between consent and coercion. A man who has a restraining order against him, sneaks into the house in the middle of the night waking a woman up from a dead sleep and has a history of mental/emotional abuse can not be considered consent. His very presence at the hour in that manner was a threat and it was smart of her not to enrage him by saying no. Abusers take out restraining orders all the time as part of the abuse - making the victim look like the bad person. She wasn't the one that broke through the restraining order. If you want to know who to believe, you don't trust the person who broke the restraining order and then went on to tie up the victim and inflict terror.

It's not normal for a teenage girl to simply burst into her mom's house and vandalize it, writing a lot of insults on the walls, even if it's under the argument of being "manipulated".

[@crishuez]

There is something very wrong with her. The judge also didn't help by saying she shouldn't feel remorse.

[@avastrawberry8519]

no, it's indeed not normal because it's not normal to be abused by your dad and be made to believe your mom is a horrible person. first off, she *was* manipulated, so no need for quotation marks. traumatized people often separate themselves from their feelings about these events in order to be able to cope. she said she felt a lot of guilt for many years. additionally, laughing or smiling at inappropriate times is also well-known to be a coping mechanism for some people when they are highly uncomfortable. please have some empathy instead of judging people by a TV very limited interview. her mom has forgiven her.

[@wynnhorton1208]

We don't know how nutty Arden's mom is. It is not normal for a child to turn on her mom, so I suspect her mom had a dark side, too. I thought the mom was overly-dramatic and loved the attention she was getting. I have no doubt that her husband was a nut and a criminal, though. Also, a child is half her father's and her mother's genes and a child doesn't choose her own genes.

What tears me apart is the daughter that helped her father break into the house after witnessing the abuse he submitted her mom to. She was so heavily manipulated, and states it so matter-of-factly that she helped her father by leaving a window open, even years later, with no ounce of remorse of what she took part in.

[@lilacmile]

It clearly wasn’t a happy family, this is an example of how it isn’t a good thing to keep children completely ignorant of the realities of life. People are sold on these ideas of picture perfect families, even adults but especially children are susceptible, believing that’s the only way to happiness can lead to all kinds of tragedies.

[@snippetsordinarylife]

You are wrong. At the trial she stated how she felt responsible for what happened to her mom. The judge even mentioned her in his ruling and told her she was not to blame. She had to go for counselling to move past the guilt. I am so happy that she managed to move past it.

[@Lmcv82]

It wasn't her fault, she was being manipulated by her father.

[@Sabishii-Sensei]

Just because she's speaking matter of factly doesn't mean she doesn't feel remorse over what happened. t's been 5 years since then. Time for loads of therapy and forgiveness of herself. She was heavily manipulated with the hope of mommy and daddy getting back together. As someone who is also traumatized by childhood events... I also speak about trauma in a matter of fact way.

[@skatergirl8019]

I disagree. She was 14 years old being severely manipulated by a narcissistic parent. As adults, we cannot judge a child’s rationale or decision making in this kind of circumstance through our own mature rationale and lived experiences. A child does not have the same brain development and understanding that adults do. Abuse, especially narcissistic abuse from a parent to a child, causes people to act and live in survival mode. Their behavior may appear very one sided, but that’s from the manipulation, power, and control their parent has over them. Once they are free from that, they are able to think more clearly. I believe it was very apparent that Arden was very remorseful for her actions, despite the judge and everyone else telling her it wasn’t her fault. Arden was a child under the control of an abusive parent. My heart breaks for that whole family. Glad they are in a better place now.

[@arthurlove7857]

@@skatergirl8019 Exactly, she was just 4 years away from being an adult, so that child bs is kinda irrelevant. I’ve seen a 12 and a 13 year-old get tried and sentenced as adults for killing someone because they were abused and nothing of the sort happened to Arden. This was a premeditated plot that deserved some form of punishment because she should never think trashing her moms house and getting her kidnapped, and physically assaulted and SA’ed without calling the authorities was okay. I think that what you’re saying is every easy to say as a third party looking in but if something like that happened to you, you’d probably be the first to turn your back on this person.

She was only 14 and poisoned by her Dad. Did you watch until the end? She definitely felt remorse.

[@natalijaasbjornsen8827]

She was a naive girl. She thought that her dad will manage to talk the mom back to the family.

The daughter knew exactly what she was doing and she knew that her father was going to kidnap the mother she helped her father is her fault I think the daughter should be in jail too

[@debbie6787]

The daughter seems to not even care about what her mom went through

[@McPierogiPazza]

Because why? She didn't cry for the cameras?

[@maureenstevens6824]

​@@McPierogiPazza No, because she only spoke about how this affected her not her mother or her siblings...traits of her father...what she wanted regardless of her mother's treatment.

Don’t judge that child. She judges herself enough when she shouldn’t and it is the last thing her Mom would want.

[@debbie6787]

@@Love-More-Laugh-More-Live-More I didn’t judge. Pay attention to the wording, I said she “seems not to even care” I did not make a character judgement by saying “ she doesn’t care”..syntax matters.

I was fortunate enough to message with Alissa and wow - an incredible woman! Im so happy she found the strength to get through this and come out stronger.

Thank God she's okay, prayers for her and her children♥️

How in gods name is it OK for these courts to allow this man to abuse his ex-wife over and over again. What an injustice. Unbelievable.!! This makes me so angry.

[@anhingasnakebird9947]

How did the court “allow” him to abuse her? They never even went to court before the kidnapping trial.

[@lifesajoke6965]

What are you talking about? The court gave him the heaviest sentence they could impose, how tf is that outcome an injustice?

[@colleencpc1]

Absolutely startling that she lived through this.

[@heart_towards_home]

Exactly 💯

[@ndutzz100]

Its a miracle she lived to tell her story in court and to be there for her children🙏🙏. Its appalling that this man was allowed to defend himself in court
