to be fair, sounds like he brainwashed her into believing someone else did it. She was also vulnerable in that this is her dad, she and most people would want to believe their dad. I feel bad for the unhealed child in her, I feel bad she went through what she did. I feel bad she can't have a real relationship with him. I would hope any victim would have a little more empathy for other victims since we know what it's like. I am however, thinking her quite dumb and hating her for leaving her kids with him. She at least should have waited until she got answers, rather than taking a gamble. That part does piss me off. I was thinking before Steve even asked, she better have always supervised him around her kids. Couldn't believe that part that she left them alone.

He on the other hand need to stay in prison for what he has did to her kids , he shouldn even have no contact with his daughter ever again

[@Glittery-Defect]

I can’t understand why women/men who have kids and are married/dating/family to someone who is accused of touching a child and find out their parent/spouse has molested said child and they don’t immediately want them tested for their children to see if they were touched too

[@darkpisces8125]

So she's going to put her kids in harm's way because she wants her dad in her life?

[@markharrisllb]

Was there anyone actually shocked at the results? I get the impression he isn’t as quietly spoken at home either, I get the impression he’s a manipulating bully.

[@TheDreamworld75]

I can't believe that she would introduce him to his grandkids in the first place. I mean if she knew that her father did it why wait for long time to take the lie dector test. Then once you found out the real truth you just decided that your not having your kids see their grandfather anymore when they were starting to have a great relationship.That was really unfair for your kids and you should be ashamed of yourself. If I was a relative or boyfriend/husband I be super pissed about that.I'm sure her kids are extremely heartbroken.

He looks like a really old Bob Odenkirk

[@Achoohorsey]

wtfffff as a mother I would NEVER leave my kids with someone with ANY suspicion that they could harm them.

[@virginiasimopoulos2168]

Mom, you have lost your mind, leaving your children alone with that man.

[@The-Flamingo-Situation]

As soon as he replied to Steve “I hope I’m telling the truth too” and “well, IF I did do this”. I knew right there he was guilty. Speech pattern experts will look for non-commital phrases that indicate guilt. A lot of time people will tell you that they’re guilty, but don’t want to actually use the words and phrases we associate with responsibility for guilt. The “if I did do it” is a big one

[@VictoriaLynn59]

Oh NOOO as a parent of a victim at 4 yrs YOU DON'T LEAVE YOUR KIDS WITH WITH THE PREDATOR. Then scream after saying it didn't matter. SMH THE wife should Divorce him. Period End.

[@tyreepowell8367]

Exactly

[@theKevronHarris]

I agree 💯

[@shiitakemushrooms.8912]

He said me too when Steve says I hope for your sake that you’re telling the truth that was the biggest red flag

[@beamercry]

i can’t feel any sympathy for her she left her kids w him

[@kervondacharles9777]

Dan’s voice “ polygraphs don’t measure nerves”

[@chaosspy6723]

i can only accept this behavior if she was so traumatized she forgot what happened or completely dissociated and didn't know. that's at least understandable. otherwise that's child endangerment and she ought to be ashamed.

[@walterwatson3219]

The daughter was only a child when it happened so I'm sure she really doesn't have any actual memory of what all really happened

[@ChoosenGemini]

His face screams Chester, Chester Child Molester!! He looks like the guy they told us to run from and NEVER walk by the door of the white van!! "If ya'll ever see a white van parked on the curve, cross the street and run"!! That's him!!💯💯💯💯

[@walterwatson3219]

She starts screaming she knew it she knew it but if she really really knew it in her heart of hearts then why would you inteust him in letting him be alone with your children his grandchilren😢🤦🏽‍♀️

[@yayaminah7908]

Gaslighting and delusion is all and through this scene. How awful.

[@Mordeomaneater]

She purposely put kids in harm’s way

[@FalconsFanForever]

I cant believe she left her kids with this monster for real, I really hope she didnt do it again and stayed far away from him that is really sick.

[@ashleybaby808]

not just what he did to her, but I am horrified because she was reckless with leaving her own kids with him. she knew deep down he did something bad to her, yet she puts her own babies in harms way 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s pretty crazy. leaving your kids with the very person who molested you as a child, I’m confused why you would allow it to happen. I hope not, but those kids need to be talked to because it’s frightening to try and comprehend if anything happened to them.
