These parents need to do time in prison...I dont buy for one second that the mom didnt known what was going on. She basically was so In love with B that she allowed him to be a predator and prey on her daughter! How can she even believe he loved her after kidnapping her daughter?? Then going back to him after he was sleeping with her husband?? These people are messed up on so many levels. B WAS A SEXUAL DEVIANT...and basically the devil himself in the flesh ...a monster! That poor little girl, she was supposed to be protected by her parents and they pretty much handed her to him on a silver platter. They are all sick .

As I watched this, I became more and more angry. Not just with the perpetrator. The girls parents were just as responsible for this whole thing. In the movie they're described as not being very worldly, but the word idiotic comes to mind.

I'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I have never in my life interacted with people this completely gullible and stupid. I wanted to reach through the tv and slap them. The documentary itself is quite well done but it's a hard watch for sure.

These parents are among the most naive people on earth, but to give a low rating because you disagree with the content is strange. It's like saying Titanic is a terrible movie because the boat sank.

Jeeeeeeez. How stupid can these parents be. Shocking to the core. Imagine allowing your 12 year old daughter to sleep with a 40 year old. Are people really this naive? I hope not. I feel the pain and it is conveyed well. Please parents protect your kids! There are very sick people everywhere. Don't let your guard down. God bless Jan. She's strong.

This was a great documentary. It was very comprehensive in its coverage of the events. After reading some reviews, it appears people are rating low because they're frustrated with the parents. That's not an accurate rating. Is the story frustrating? Yes. But that doesn't mean that the documentary is not well done.

This has got to be the most infuriating documentary I have ever watched! The sheer stupidity of the parents was astounding. I don't know if they were completely idiots or just weak and easily manipulated. I cannot believe the amount of times they allowed that revolting man access to their daughter. The mother was the worst one, engaging in an affair with him after he had already KIDNAPPED her daughter and abused her. The whole justice system was also sickening. Why on earth was he spared so many times and allowed to continue to commit these crimes?! And then to top it all off, he didn't even suffer for what he did. An interesting documentary and different in that you don't often see the families so actively facilitating the abuse, whether this was intentional or not, however it made me so angry!
