The Twisted Case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Her Controlling Mom | Killer Cases

and another thing is that Gypsy didn’t just wake up one random day with her mom randomly starting to do all of this. she was going thru this since birth so she didn’t know anything different until she became a certain age and started asking questions & putting the puzzle pieces together. she truly believed there was no other option. she knew her mother better than any of us. she knew she would manipulate people into thinking she had an undeveloped brain and can’t think for herself. such a sad sad sad situation.

The watch what you eat comment from her mother was a red flag and I was surprised her mom knew she was sexually active and took her to get on the pill. I’m sure her parents are good people and it’s hard to say if they were all about their image or simply clueless. As wrong as her decision was, she found out late in her pregnancy she was expecting and was alone as to what to do. She still lives at home and was afraid to tell her parents as many teens would be. It was obvious she did not think things through and assumed no one would know. Fear panic and immaturity in decision making. Teen girls have such a hard time transitioning as still being a kid and being grown up at the same time trying to be independent and walking that fine line into grown up decisions

Contrary to claims of abuse, gydpy had multiple opportunities to escape her alleged situation. Her mother would often leave her alone in the house while running errands, providing a chance for gyspy to seek help or flee. However, during the extensive 15-hour interrogation, Gypsy never once alleged abuse or harm. Instead, she consistently stated that she had a disagreement with her mother, resulting in her being asked to leave the house. I urge you to watch the full interrogation videos and trial proceedings to understand the context. The evidence presented does not support the narrative of abuse. Key points to consider: - Gypsy opportunities to escape during her mother's errands. She also was on social media searching, finding men online. She could call 911 and tell the doctor which one occasion she was alone with. - 15-hour interrogation yielded no admission of abuse Review the evidence and draw your own conclusions.

I got pregnant as a teen and was petrified especially of my dad who is devout. I was terrified as a whole and very lost and ashamed. I also was scared of the father I got pregnant with the child with. He was extremely abusive as a teenager and I kept it a secret for a long time until I couldn't anymore. I wrote a long letter to my mom telling her if she was ashamed of me I understood and would leave. (Parents were in the process of separation.) She read the letter, fell down her wall, cried. Then it was it! She came and figured it out with me. And she took the brunt of telling my dad for me. We all got through it. Now my daughter is 17. Her dad and I separated when she was born but she still sees us both. So you definitely don't have to kill your baby over fear. I just want every girl to know there's always a solution! You just have to clear your head and take one step at a time.

Skylar’s mom was the reason she had an eating disorder and continued with one during the pregnancy. They would “send her to get help” knowing full well she had an eating disorder, yet she still sent her a text reminding her to watch what she eats???? Terrible. I blame the mom. Edit: Just finding out their daughter had a baby and buried it and was caught for it, doesn’t make her give her heart out to her daughter? But instead makes her think of how everyone else will perceive them and talk about them????? She’s disgusting!

The one medical professional said he didn't think he had autism because he didn't blow up when he found out there was not enough seats on the bus. I have an autism family. My mom had schizophrenia, aunt with bipolar (all have autism) the only one who blows up in public situations is my aunts oldest son. None of us blow up in public. Were unusually calm during stress but like losing my keys make me panic but big things and I dissociate from it as a coping mechasism. I don't have bipolar or anything. I am extremely high functioning autistic. Woman with high functioning autism function normal. We mimic/ blend in with society. I do have anxiety.

DD would constantly take Gypsy to hospitals and Dr, She would tell him all lies about Gypsy symptoms and he’d just go for it: diagnosing and prescribing meds. Can’t believe they did not actually test her! How it continued : If they’d move the records of all these false diseases would transfer and the next Dr/hospital would not do their own testing. It’s insane no medical professional actually tested Gypsy..wow. And yeah the bf should be in mental facility not life in prison. After all, Gypsy is free!

I read somewhere that Gypsy's mom used to be a nursing assistant, so that's why she was able to, for lack of better phrasing, avoid suspicion, 'cause the moment a doctor thinks something's up, they go back & forth between hospitals The medicine also extracts salvatory glands, so she would have that tooth-less appearance
