So many people are clueless about what goes on in abusive households. This isn't even as bad as so much of the abuse that goes on every day, and people are ready to string the mother up as well. Others are oblivious as to why the video wasn't posted sooner.

Read about battered wife syndrome. Read about the kind of mental trauma that makes kids raised in these kinds of environments (and much, MUCH worse) extremely unlikely to tell anyone.

I get the righteous outrage, I do. But it's frustrating for me, as someone who grew up in a situation much worse than this, to read these ignorant comments and not get very frustrated.

I get that you care, it's good that people care. But if you want to understand this problem, PLEASE READ.
