My daughter threatened my life and I will no longer allow her into my home. I am being told that I am wrong by some people. She tried to attack me with her boyfriend already. I refuse to be one of these shows because my child and her boyfriend has taken my life! It happens every day because nobody wants to believe that their child would harm them. The titles that people carry has gotten a lot of people killed! Daughter, Mother, Sister, Daddy or whoever. They are capable of doing evil things if they can say them out of their mouths and allow someone else to harm you and lie for them! When someone shows you who they are, you better believe them! I don't care what title they hold in your life! Children are killing parents with no regrets! My neighbors son just shot and killed him because he put him on punishment! this just happened one month ago! So NO I will not close my eyes around my own daughter! She has married this man now! I have lesions on my brain, he pushed me over a table and I hit my head on a book shelf and the floor! He could have killed me and she was on his side. All of this because I asked them to clean up my house after themselves. They were living with me at that time. She has not lived with me nor talked to me since that day. She told me that I am not her mother anymore.

If 14yr olds can be charged as adults then her age isn’t an excuse for her actions. She knew exactly what she was doing was wrong. 2 days of her dad telling her that her mom is horrible isn’t enough time to brainwash her. No excuses

Need to stop allowing people to represent themselves in certain situations. It's awful that he could abuse the wife and kids again through court

[@cheriearcher6643]

Why would she try online dating and going through that extensive abuse?

[@AnnikaOBrien]

It’s what ensured he got the maximum penalty for more counts whereas in many cases a good defense attorney could have put doubt in the jury and gotten him off. He could have walked but because he represented himself there’s no chance he’ll ever be able to hurt his family again.

[@lizboard6833]

I agree. There should be a law that he have co counsel,at the very least, to question his victims. He definitely did that to be able to hurt them all over again. What a pig

[@Anabee3]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!! It is SO GLARINGLY OBVIOUS how BEYOND WRONG, SICK, TWISTED,even EVIL it is, that Trevor was allowed to be in the same room, let alone represent himself/address Alisa & her children. My ghast is thoroughly flabbered over that! Since it is easily possible these days, criminals like him should be zoomed-in from an entirely different area...ATLEAST on the other side of town. Smh...I am SO IRATE r.n.

[@feemarie]

Every American has the right to face/question their accuser in a court of law. Without that a lot of innocent people would be convicted simply by word of mouth. Which is why the victim HAS to get in front of a jury & the person they accused so the jury can read them & see if what their saying is bs or not because another human beings life is in their hands.

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

I understand how Donna could feel less strong after such an experience, but I hope by now she understands how this illustrates just how powerful she is, how powerful women have always been, sadly cuz men have always been this dangerous.

[@lokysutherland5022]

It is so aggravating that summers said that his wife was consenting because she didnt say no. Then he says that it was unfair and scary that the officer talked to him and he felt coerced.

[@bonnieodonnell8241]

My thoughts exactly!! So so infuriating

[@jrb4347]

I still don’t get the American criminal system someone gets 3 years others get a warning and he gets 200+ years. So confusing. Glad he’s locked up but I’ve seen a lot worse cases get nothing

[@karenlevendoski6372]

The Ray story brought tears to my eyes. Although he made mistakes he did try to change. A sad ending for a man trying to recover from his mistakes. Rest in peace 🩵

[@Foxsuper1]

Arden is such a weird girl, dangerous....14 year olds go to jail in usa when they conspire, with friends, so why does she get off? hmmmm something like double standards....Two other cases and the kid got jail too for helping

[@lisaross4216]

I don’t think it’s fair that an accused can represent themselves, therefore feeding information about themselves to the jury and not have to testify. The victims deserve better.

[@please-wake-up-now]

This series really shows how dark human nature can get 😟. It's wild to think about what some people will do for control. I mean, I'm just glad Alisa got out and is living her life now. 💪 She's a real survivor! 🌟

[@soxpeewee]

The daughter is seriously disgusting. She was more than old enough to know better and seems to have no remorse for her part in the ordeal

[@sunshine3914]

She was 14.

Trevor is a piece of work. Thank God she made it out alive.

[@dkcorderoyximenez3382]

Summers is one dangerous dude...but...the Judge was sensational in the trial...he saw through the narcissism and saw to it that Hell will freeze over before he steps on grass again...

[@JoJoHOPPE-i7j]

The sentence was so extreme that I believe the higher courts will overturn it. I think that under a different judge, he will end up with about 25 years.

[@bonnieodonnell8241]

Trevor claiming that he couldn’t give proper consent to be questioned because of his “surgery” (LOL) but then saying the s*x with Alisa was consensual while she was attacked and hog tied ??? What a piece of sh*t. And shame on the judge for allowing the abuser to cross examine the survivor

[@reasonfortheszn]

I’m sorry but I would’ve turned Arden every way but loose. That girl done lost her mind!! Her mama need to cut ties, I don’t trust that girl AT ALL

The Ray Wright case always makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. That poor man. 😢

[@blacknosugarnocream]

He & Arden vandalized her house, including writing profane messages about the mom, then convinced Arden he wanted to get back together with her mom. Vandalizing and defaming a spouse is not how you express your desire to repair the relationship. Now Arden has the foundation that control and humiliation are a part of love. The girl will need therapy. A lot of it.

[@mandyeckley464]

That's why she's not that innocent imo, surely she isn't that naive

Hi

[@VersatilePessimist]

As someone who has PTSD from my ex I could NOT imagine being questioned by him and seeing him up there for 4 hours. I’d probably throw up. And I’m a pretty tough chic not gonna lie.

[@sharonSantini-ki4qp]

The music to this show does a good job at scaring me & Im sure others. You just brace yourself with a reality of the evil people in this world. Love 48 hrs. In depth stories asking the right questions. Plus the thoughts of law enforcement. It helps when theres a great professional narrator.

[@KPD017]

Alisa, you are one badass, strong woman. I’m so glad you are happy with hubby and your kids. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Panwere36]

Trevor Summers is a perfect example of genuine misogyny. His gaslighting so blatantly to try justifying his behavior is why he should automatically be denied parole every time he comes up for it. The best revenge, though is that Alisa and the kids are happy, and even if he does get out he will be branded the loathsome creep he is for the rest of his life. Robert Manor is a monster, and no matter what anyone tries to gaslight with, he had no right to do what he did to Raymond Wright. He is rotting in prison and he is another person who deserves automatic denial of parole till he has served enough of his sentence. I am so glad that Donna Ongsiako survived and she is helping other victims as well. What Brennan Doyle did is horrible, and drugs only made him more willing to do what he was already capable of. Donna's healthy lifestyle absolutely played a huge part of how she survived. The fact that the Doyle family *_blatantly_* tried to obfuscate to hinder the investigation tells a lot as well. I especially agree that he was not "high enough" that he had no understanding or control.

[@JoJoHOPPE-i7j]

I agree with everything written above.

[@shoshannabriangowan4547]

The fact the court allowed him to question the woman he brutalized. What a sick situation. As for the daughter, is she also mentally ill? The daughter seemed like a sociopath.

[@jennymiller9184]

I watched the Trevor Summers trial. That judge is amazing. And her testimony and cross examination was painful to watch. But also inspiring. I wanted to cheer when he was convicted.

[@JoJoHOPPE-i7j]

The dark haired daughter in the second case had vocal fry so badly that I received second degree burns.

You are absolutely right.

[@nancychandler3673]

Kids who are home schooled are isolated from Social Workers who can identify abuse.

[@dennisjohnsen7297]

The phone confession, “I’m holding her against her will.” There’s no coming back from that To say that this man doesn’t understand the difference between consent and acquiescence…Oh yes he does. I think this guy truly believes that his actions were necessary. He’s using the “she had it coming” defense.

[@eddo1983]

Alisa being questioned by her ex husband during his trial is just sick and wrong. I don't get how the judge could have allowed it.

[@jenniferhorstmann2279]

The judge had no choice. The law states he has the right to represent himself, unfortunately. He really made him PAY for it in the end though, didn’t he!? 😂

[@Findpepperbridge]

I love love survivor stories!!!! I’ve seen Alyssa’s story before. Ive seen and been in relationships like this before. It’s scary. They get controlling and it happens gradually over time. Starts with, “don’t wear skirts when I’m not with you cause I can’t protect you unless you are with me” you think it’s sweet so you comply but then it keeps adding on over years. Whats ever scarier is that he was controlling his oldest daughter and having her vandalize the home etc. I’m so glad she got out and with 5 kids she was able to rebuild and have a new life with a new man.

[@cheriearcher6643]

If he had loved his children , he would not have done what he did

[@ohkaykaykayla2891]

Idk something doesn’t seem right… if the daughter thought the dad was coming over to just talk then why is she texting her dad saying “ coast is clear she’s fast asleep”? I wouldnt be able to trust my own kid. She may have been confused or in the dark a little but at 14 not knowing her dad is abusive … she even played it up on the phone pretending to miss her mom . Just very strange. She even seen her mom on the ground yelling help and she just ignores it and never calls for help. That’s so scary.

[@nancysullivan6827]

The irony. My didn’t do to me what Trevor did to Alissa but the manipulation of the daughter wow. Before and after the divorce he used my eldest to harass me. It worked so well that at 43 she is spoil, entitled and resentful. According to her I should be taking care of her forever while she’s in and out of jail and can’t hold a job and never a place to live. It’s sad. My youngest never fell for it and she passed unexpectedly at 33. Eldest still angry about my relationship with her sister which was completely different. He destroyed our daughter.

[@velmabarclay6889]

I understand the daughter was manipulated but at the same time she comes across as just a brat is she gonna take responsibility? How can a daughter do that? I understand daddy’s little girl, but seriously

[@theresaperry1448]

Arden watched her mother be controlled by her father her entire life. Of course she was easily manipulated to do whatever her father wanted her to do. Not surprised at all!

It was interesting that he said he was tied up and forced to cooperate in the hospital is wrong-BUT- him tieing her up and her being forced to cooperate with his plan is not wrong. We watched him question her in court and couldn't believe this was allowed. It was him trying to control and torment again

[@Johanny2675]

So happy that she’s able to tell her own story 🙏🏽

[@haraldisdead]

Having no evidence for an arrest and "not believing her" are two different things.

[@beatleographer_10-51]

I despise lawyers who take on cases to free their clients as not guilty, knowing they are guilty. I know everyone is entitled to legal representation. Still, that representation should be to get the accused the lowest possible sentence and not to represent them as if they are not guilty.

[@KukieRubyUnscripted]

You are absolutely right, because it’s absurd for his lawyer to say he didn’t understand what he was doing. Like for real!

[@kellykroh]

So, the job of a defense attorney is to make the prosecution prove the case. That's how justice gets done. Defense may know the client is guilty and that doesn't mean they condone the crimes, they are there to make sure the system works as it should.

[@claira8601]

She must have learned in the domestic violence shelter that she should never meet him alone.I wonder what made her ignore that advice. And I would have thought she was taught if there is no evidence, it's useless to go to the police. They can't do anything.
