What's even crazier, from some of what I have seen online, she was/is Mormon and many/good portion of her viewers seem to be too.. they all claim this lifestyle as normal and it is quite frankly scary and jarring to see some of the comments saying she was just a 'strict parent'.
Just reading about some of her, "parenting advice" it was obvious that she was a terrible person. And to think some people actually listened to her
Do you have an example? I dont really want to go rooting around in that rabbit hole trying to find out.
Withholding meals as punishment was one example I saw in a different article.
In comparison, the Geneva Convention literally forbids doing this to enemy POWs.

She threw their homework and other things in the trash. Said they had until the end of the day to pay cash or do chores to get it back so they could learn the real value of their things.
She took her son's bed away for seven months, apparently because he played a prank on his brother.
Oh, and the kids had to make their own school lunch in the morning. The school calls one day because her 6 year old daughter didn't have any food. She let the girl go hungry. Quote:
My hope is that she’ll be hungry and come home and go, ‘oh man, that was really painful, being hungry all day. I will make sure to always have lunch with me.
Having grown up poor, nothing pains me more than the idea of a kid, especially my kid being hungry or cold. This woman is a monster.
one time as punishment she cancelled christmas for the younger 2.. the older 2 got presents like usual. another time she didn't allow her oldest son to sleep in his room for 6 months oh and he slept on a bean bag during those months... when he did have a room he wasn't allowed to have a door. if you want to see examples check out mormon stories podcast. they go into detail.
That probably means they're also terrible.
This is very common homeschooling education.
Homeschooling doesn't automatically mean child abuse. I was homeschooled and knew a lot of homeschooled kids, and none of us were ever abused.
A child abuser will abuse children and good people don't. It's as simple as that.
Not every homeschooled child is abused, but when I worked for CPS, a HELL of a lot of abusive families used it as a means to keep their kids away from those pesky mandatory reporters.
That's fair. I definitely think it needs better oversight, if it's to exist at all.
Absolutely, not only for child welfare, but for basic education standards. I've seen homeschool be everything from structured classes for 8 hours, to sit here and read the Bible for 8 hours.
none of us were ever abused.
That you know about. You can't speak for what other kids in other families might have been going through.

On my feed the thumbnail for this is a multiple picture's of a mouse eating a cherry tomato....
I found this so funny, I mean what a tragic news story but such a cute sounding collage of photos, such contrast.
It's scary to think that some dumbasses took parenting advice from this psychopath. There really should be some sort of test one has to take before becoming a parent.
