For their entire childhood, the Angulo brothers had only one true escape from their lives confined inside their family’s New York City apartment.
“As far back as I can remember anything -- like, as far back as I can remember loving my mom -- I remember movies,” Narayana Angulo, 22, told ABC News’ “20/20.” “They were like a door into another world."
Watching movies was the one privilege, the brothers said, that their father allowed.
“The movies taught us like, sort of how to speak to one another, how you interact with another person and have an opinion,” Mukunda Angulo, 20, told “20/20.”

They are so photogenic and charming and intelligent. Their Mother is obviously the reason they managed to do so well. I've seen people who do not live in a sheltered environment like that , that also love those types of movies but can't separate fantasy from reality. Not so for these handsome young men. I am imagining the future is bright for them. I am confused, what about the first born sister ? Didn't it say their is or was a sister with some kind of issues ?

***** I had not thought of it that way. I was thinking of the Mother as victim. You could have a valid point. I don't know because I was not in that apartment. I am pretty sure there is more to this story.

[@nicollevelez8149]

Same thought here!

[@maranwe22]

1,000 sq for nine people is not huge. A normal 2 bedrooms apt is usually 1,000 sq. So these rooms and baths were tiny, specially taking in consideration that they were not allowed on the living room nor one of the bedrooms so they probably had access to only 750 sq. For a total of 9 people. That's about a 1 bedroom apt.

[@RusBerry]

Mayelli Pryor no it’s not huge. But it’s not tiny.

[@carmenhernandez4478]

Mayelli Pryor Yes, Your absolutely correct. NYC projects have very small rooms. Bedrooms fit full size bed, chest and dresser and very little room to walk. The law was two persons per bedroom. Six room apartment means they had three bedrooms. Then they weren’t allowed in the rooms where the walls connected with the neighbors.

[@InsertTitleHere-]

[@GypsyEncounters]

Yall that was welfare housing. The government knew about those kids. They would not have gotten such a large approved housing. Also, the daughter had a genetic disorder. So they were all likely on medicaid/WIC, and certainly they were on food stamps. There is a lot of holes in this story. Everyone talks about the heroicism of their plight. I cannot help but think,why is there no question of what punishment the father got? And in order to keep medicaid for your children, you are required to atleast do a yearly physical.
