I will never forgive ABC and the media for excessively calling her "super mom" when the story first broke out and everyone thought she was legitimately in danger. There are many super moms in society; Sherri Papini did not it a single criteria for that label. Not only that she wasn't a super mom, ABC used the term excessively. Go and look at the original ABC 20/20 episode. Ridiculous journalists exaggerating every story as much as possible; we are sick of it.

I was particularly disturbed by the revolution that Sherrie was having the children inhale rubbing alcohol so she could take them to the doctor. Had she not pulled this stunt, I wonder what may have happened to the kids. She is much more dangerous than she seems. Maybe the lie was a blessing.

[@helenfong3339]

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy if she stayed with the kids. Can you imagine???

[@jennifert2953]

Right? She would have hurt them.

[@mickmcsherry5916]

She DID hurt them - not maybe, not she would have, not could have, but DID; and we only know of the bag-tied-over-head crap, God only knows what else she did to them aside from the mental duress and trauma we can see in the “documentary.” The saddest part is her schmucky cuck of a supposedly gullible husband pretended he didn’t know what he knew all along and he’s going to have to live with the guilt for the rest of his life. FYI, psychopaths like Sherri have only have people in their lives that they can fool and manipulate, all the rest get away from them and stay away. And the latest from Sherri is that she is supposedly writing a children’s book. A children’s book. Yeah, that sounds about right, doesn’t it?

[@louniece1650]

Well, dang! I never thought of it that way. Spine shivers.😬

[@sonyafly]

Google it though. There are studies that show sniffing rubbing alcohol helps with nausea and vomiting. I’ve had nurses tell me to do it. She is crazy, but I don’t think that was part of her crazy. I do the same when I have a stomach bug.

[@mickmcsherry5916]

No, he ignored facts from the very beginning of the relationship and all the way through until she was finally arrested. I don’t know what program YOU watched, but it was clear to me that he willingly played the fool. Even after the FBI and his local cop spelled the whole thing out to him with her sitting right there next to him, and after he initially kicked her put of the house, he relented and let her back in the home. With the poor kids. That’s messed up. His children were abused by her because he chose to live in delusion rather than face facts.

Yeah. Sherri sometimes presented with slightly manic expressions, like her wild-eyed gleefully blank expression with a big, gummy smile…but she’s technically not insane, although possibly psychotic at times. *Evil is as evil does.* Sherri is a moderately attractive, shrewd, manipulative person. Analysts surmise she likely has a *personality disorder* with histrionic, borderline, and narcissistic features. Insanity is not as organized or meticulous when premeditating such criminal activities.

If someone will go as far as to break their own bones, burn their own skin, and brand themselves.......what won't they do to you, or even their own children? 6 YEARS she LIED to Keith, used her LIE against him to make him feel bad. Keep in mind it was just Keith, but her children she did this to, forget about the fact she lied to the whole country and, when caught, STILL LIED! The only reason Sherri is not a "Certifiable Insane" person, is because she have never seen any doctors, and the insane asylums were shut down, Rather than sending her to jail, they should have made her go and stay at a mental health facility for years. Mark my words, this is NOT the last the country will hear about Sherri, but next time it's going to be much worse, Keith has an angel looking over him and his children, they escaped just in time.
