What in the hell did I just watch? That daughter actually scares me. The way she is so in denial about her mother is utterly shocking. Like I am speechless, utterly speechless. I honestly need a minute........ the language she used to describe what happened to those children was so matter of fact, the way she said "It sucks to hear that this girl was being tortured while I was being doted on", "That duct tape did her in. They suffocated her. Whoever put it on her". So cold, she absolutely lacks any empathy and that is why I think she did turn out to be exactly like her mother. I would keep an eye on that one. Would not want to be her "friend". Who knows how you might end up given what happened to her childhood "friends".
The way she refuses to believe that her mother took in every single one of those kids to groom and abuse them is unbelievable but rather she chooses to blame Ricky who she describes as "that man". A 14 yr old child ?? Her mother literally raped a 14 yr old child and her response was "why didn't he just leave"? What an evil thing to say, she has utterly no sympathy for what Ricky was coerced to do. I think Ricky finally had enough and ran away and refused to come back because he was forced to help kill another person and was also being sexually and emotionally abused and I am guessing the killing was the final straw for him but again Tammy sees him as the catalyst of her mom's change. Nah your mum was always a cold heartless bish just like you are, Tammy. I also do not believe for one second the reason why she did not say anything was because she thought she was next, she just did not care and enjoyed playing with her actual friends while those children who thought she was their friend suffered. She herself said she was never abused, she went to school while the kids in her home were being tortured and chained to the floor, not going to school while she slept like a princess. If she was truly scared of her mother and being next, why did she unfailingly visit her mother for 28 years in jail and why did she take loving pics with her showing their unbreakable bond, linking hands tightly and all. You would think that would be her chance to walk away from her "potential abuser" and stop feeling "scared and afraid" as she claimed.
The fact that even as her mother died of breast cancer she never asked her a single thing about what she did to those kids is telling but hey Ricky is the one to blame for all this right? Her and her mother are 2 of the most odius beings to ever walk this planet.
I am also mad at the cops. This could have been stopped earlier with the black girl, Harriet who escaped and actually told the police what happened but they took the word of a white woman over the word of a black child clearly showing signs of abuse after being found in a ragged state and with no shoes on....typical. I am sure the moment they opened that door and saw that white woman, their opinions were already set. It doesn't even seem like they even did an inspection or checked in on the other kids. To them I am sure they thought how can this eloquent white saviour lady be harming this ghetto black child. That black child stood no chance. It's sad that her testimony was only validated cause another white child died.
And the way Tammy said "good for you" After she heard how Harriet escaped is buffling, really good for you? Same as the response "that's amazing" after she heard of how Luis escaped. Really Tammy ? That's the most appropriate thing she thought to say? I have never disliked a storyller more on this show than this woman.
A damn shame Marie did not get the electric chair that she deserved.
