Customer Reviews
So many questions
I went from initially thinking oh god how awful for her, to then thinking nah she was evil, then thinking bless her she actually believes this has happened to her and then at the end thinking did they do this or not! As someone who has been involved as a family member in a similar (not nearly to this extent) situation I’m left with just as many questions as when I started listening
Another misogynistic piece of Australian media
Filled to the brim with victim shaming and biased representations of a ‘poor father’ who has been mis-represented. The couple were charged in court with irrefutable evidence.
This podcast does exactly what it says it will do, which is to cast a shadow of doubt across the claims of victims who struggled for years to be brave enough to tell their stories. A tacky approach to a classic case of abuse and the Stockholm syndrome that comes with it.
I feel very sorry for their children who continue to be abused and mistreated by lazy ‘journalism’ like this.
Brilliant
Couldn’t stop listening!
