- 1:24Speaker 2: I want to get Terry's response when she sees when
- 1:27Speaker 2: the moment that they say it's the mother. But what's
- 1:29Speaker 2: interesting about this is the mother is interviewed and she
- 1:33Speaker 2: says that she was doing it out of love. And
- 1:36Speaker 2: it sounds like some kind of Munchausen.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Right, it's a cyber Munchausen by proceressy.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:42Speaker 2: She felt like she was helping she she says, which

- 1:49Speaker 2: text were someone else and that she wanted something to happen,
- 1:53Speaker 2: and so in order for something to happen, she had
- 1:55Speaker 2: to keep it up a lie. Oh yeah, liar.
- 1:58Speaker 3: You know I didn't see either. I was like you, Steve,
- 2:01Speaker 3: and I was I was unaware until I started seeing
- 2:03Speaker 3: the reels. So when Kim, I said, spoiler spoiler alert,
- 2:06Speaker 3: it's spoiled.
- 2:07Speaker 2: It's out there.
- 2:08Speaker 3: But there were people doing reels and they were kind
- 2:10Speaker 3: of doing a skit, you know, like a what do
- 2:14Speaker 3: you call it? Spoof? Spoof of it, and where this
- 2:17Speaker 3: one guy the first time I saw it was a
- 2:19Speaker 3: guy with a wig on and she was like he
- 2:22Speaker 3: was saying like pretending to be the mother, and he'd
- 2:24Speaker 3: say to the daughter, I love you, honey, Okay, you'd
- 2:25Speaker 3: be careful, and then he'd get on the and go
- 2:27Speaker 3: you little tramp, you little money, you know, like that's
- 2:30Speaker 3: with the Basically she was psycho. So I started reading
- 2:33Speaker 3: about it. I haven't watched it yet, but I was
- 2:34Speaker 3: reading about it. And what's interesting is the father. For
- 2:39Speaker 3: two years, you know, this girl had a boyfriend and
- 2:41Speaker 3: the mom would say things to her through the cyber
- 2:44Speaker 3: bullying thing, say things like your boyfriend, your mom's the
- 2:46Speaker 3: sexy one, your boyfriend wants to be with your mom,
- 2:49Speaker 3: not you, like really really weird things. So when two
- 2:52Speaker 3: years is over, the cops, the investigators, they finally said
- 2:55Speaker 3: to the husband, hey, we got we found out who
- 2:58Speaker 3: it was. And he was so relieved. Finally we're going
- 3:01Speaker 3: to get them and we're going to take them all
- 3:03Speaker 3: the way. He's going to jail. And when they told
- 3:05Speaker 3: him that it was his wife, he wanted to kill her.
- 3:07Speaker 3: He couldn't believe it. He could not believe it. And
- 3:10Speaker 3: she said that she was raped as a young girl.
- 3:12Speaker 3: I don't believe anything, she said, yea I think all
- 3:14Speaker 3: of it's alive. But she says she was raped and
- 3:16Speaker 3: and she was having some sort of weird she was
- 3:19Speaker 3: triggered in such a way that this was how she
- 3:21Speaker 3: was kind of getting back at that everything she said.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Now she realizes that she's so mentally sick. Not only
- 3:29Speaker 3: a mentally ill and twisted person does this to their child,
- 3:34Speaker 3: their beautiful innocent child who has struggled for two years.
- 3:37Speaker 3: What it did to her mentally, what it did to
- 3:40Speaker 3: her and you know, just psychologically, I can't even imagine it.
- 3:44Speaker 3: But how incredible in today's time with these documentaries that
- 3:47Speaker 3: they're able to go back and get these screenshots and
- 3:51Speaker 3: all these you know, conversations so that we can see
- 3:54Speaker 3: and hopefully it's a lesson.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Well, another little part of this that's kind of interesting
- 3:58Speaker 2: is so during the core of two years, you've got
- 4:01Speaker 2: all these accusations towards different people, like a different girl
- 4:06Speaker 2: on the team, and she got so much hate and
- 4:08Speaker 2: got so much so there were people that became victims
- 4:11Speaker 2: in this and it changed their lives just because of
- 4:14Speaker 2: the hate pounded on them. Because people would just assume, oh,
- 4:18Speaker 2: it has to be it's.
- 4:19Speaker 1: A witch burner. Absolutely, I mean, that's that's one of
- 4:22Speaker 1: the things that that's I think the digital world has
- 4:25Speaker 1: quite clearly made obvious, is that we are not that
- 4:28Speaker 1: far removed from the Salem witch trials exactly that in
- 4:32Speaker 1: public shaming we will go just as far as they
- 4:36Speaker 1: would have back in the you know, the sixteen hundreds.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Oh, we saw that in the cancel cultures. Yes, everybody
- 4:43Speaker 3: jumped on everybody exactly.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And so if you've got a pariah on social media, okay,
- 4:48Speaker 1: well great, let's dox them, let's destroy them, let's go
- 4:50Speaker 1: after them, let's burn them, burner, she's a witch, turned
- 4:53Speaker 1: me into a newt that. I mean, all that type
- 4:55Speaker 1: of that still is going on. And so yes, if
- 4:57Speaker 1: somebody's accused of being the cyber bully when it wasn't them,
- 5:02Speaker 1: then yes, absolutely you've got the mob with pitchforks.
- 5:05Speaker 3: And but then what happens to them, like, now you
- 5:08Speaker 3: know they went through all of that, They probably didn't.
- 5:10Speaker 3: This is so minute. But let's say a girl was
- 5:13Speaker 3: just stoned to death for that, she goes to college,
- 5:16Speaker 3: she doesn't get in a sorority, shouldn't you know, Let's
- 5:17Speaker 3: say that she had to suffer all the consequences and
- 5:20Speaker 3: be on a case. So then what happens now now
- 5:22Speaker 3: this is out, everyone knows the truth. Do people come
- 5:26Speaker 3: back and apologize?
- 5:27Speaker 2: That's all they're saying. They're coming back saying I'm sorry,
- 5:30Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I thought, but what is I mean?
- 5:32Speaker 2: What does that do? It's nothing. You've already destroyed somebody's life.
- 5:36Speaker 3: It's like those football players that the girls accused them
- 5:38Speaker 3: of rape. They lose their whole four years and go
- 5:40Speaker 3: to jail, and then they come back and sorry, Like,
- 5:43Speaker 3: there has to be there has to be some sort
- 5:45Speaker 3: of accountability for that. You know, we saw this during
- 5:47Speaker 3: COVID with a cancel culture with Rosenbar, which seemed to
- 5:51Speaker 3: start it all. Something has to be done. When you
- 5:54Speaker 3: were that person
- 5:56Speaker 1: I could like uskar America, Mama was a question good
