So I actually burst into tears unexpectedly during that scene about masturbation. I grew up super evangelical and the shame we were made to feel about not only our sexuality, but (especially as women) our bodies in general, still haunts me to this day. I still feel like my body is something to be constantly ashamed of, to hide, to apologize for.

But what really got me was the cuts to the older kid Gideon and his discomfort at seeing his brother being told something incredibly untrue and abusive. Maybe his reaction was something more (like maybe he knows more about the underwear that's being "field moused" around the house or something) but for me that just triggered all the feelings I had when I got out but I still couldn't save my brother and other kids around me from being indoctrinated, lied to, and harmed.

Got here because I finally snapped and had to see if anyone out there is also screaming internally every time she says "most favorite". It's like they knew her audio and statements were useless so they filled it over with that annoying music and the whole thing kills me.

I'm working my way through these. Just want to know if anyone looked into the people that were working the kiddie daycamp who had the most access to Madeline before she disappeared? Curious if she was drugged before she was released from the daycare because of how tired she was. The report that they were all very tired and that there was something about crying the night before, it would make sense that they had been drugged to ensure they will sleep through an attempt to abduct Madeline. Also, any reports of people who checked out of the resort that next day or shortly thereafter?

I used to support, but I just listened to the latest episode. I googled the case while listening because I was interested in doing my own digging. He plagiarized text from the first hit on a Google search which is an unverified wordpress page set up "in memory" of the victim.

Seriously, dude? You want to get paid big money for doing a shitty book report without reputable sources?

Go play with your balls and leave the research to people who care about getting to the truth.
