you do realize they only hid under the stairs when the police search the house right? It seems like the biological parents took good care of their kid while "kidnapped", but, they left out the reason why the older sister has custody for some reason, so, really hard to say how much of a "monster" they are.

I think everyone needs to know the details here. They weren't keeping the child under the stairs, they would hide her when police showed up. It was both parents and a grandfather as well. Why did they lose custody? Was she sexually or physically abused? Were the parents addicts at some point? Who had custody? Total strangers or other family? Obviously parents don't lose their kids easily so I am not defending this by any means. I just would be curious to know if they are monsters or just desperate to get their child back?

[@ShodaiKishin]

Story from what I've gathered: Parents lost custody over deficiency by a judge. Was just something they apparently could have fixed according to police offer interviewed. Grandmother gained custody of both kids, there's a teenager older sister. Parents went to little kid's school and picked her and whisked her off while lying to everyone. For 2 years, they hid her away in the house to point even neighbors never knew there was a kid in the house at all. Police tried repeatedly to find her in the house but legal red tape stop from going too far until this event where a partial search warrant of house was granted.

[@kathrynlarsen3683]

According to an ex babysitter that was interviewed. The maternal grandmother went for custody over concerns that the parents kept the kids with them at the construction sites they worked on late into the night. And addictions to drugs(meth and heroin) The father has some paraphernalia charges.

they lost custody of her because courts found they were deficient in some matte,r they could have fixedm and their KIDS (plural) given over to grandmother from the other side of the family. The grandmother also has custody of the teenager older sister.

[@pjk1714]

I can't imagine how her sister felt being reunited again and what this experience did to both of them emotionally. Hoping addressed over the coming years to help cope to avoid self destruction. Family cases aren't published unless criminal directed at children with prison. It's a shame the parents went this route over home studies to prove stability to regain custody of both children. Maybe that wasn't realistic with what happened to lose the custody. Glad she is safe and can hopefully regain trust with adults and rebuild her relationship with her sister.

I would like to know the reason why she was taken from her parents in the first place before passing judgement. Sadly child services (the people that take children from their parents) are not very trust worthy and they do not always do what is in the best intrest of the child. The system has turned out many, many messed up children due to neglect and abuse at the hands of foster homes. The officer said himself that she was in good shape and not harmed.

They lost custody and the kids (the one in this video and her older sister) were given to legal guardians. I don't know however why the parents lost custody... but there had to be something to endanger the child's health or well being, otherwise a court would not take custody away from parents.

In no way did I feel like I was overly in danger, outside of poor parenting and addiction.

The story is just missing a lot of info in this video. I’m pretty sure that the parents were losing custody of the kids or something and then when the people came to get her the parents hid her and so she was deemed missing. The parents would only put her in there when people (like cops) came looking for her. It also isn’t uncommon for parents to kidnap their own children. There was one instance in my hometown recently where a mother took her kid during a supervised visit and she didn’t have custody. They thankfully caught them after a few hours.
