Who else be up all night just watching all these documentaries 😂

So the news crew interviewed missing teens and let them leave?

Courts have to stop trying to force children to have a relationship with a parent if they don’t want to have one, bottom line. Just stop, if the kids want a relationship they will make it happen.

It honestly feels like everyone is lying. The Mother, the Father, the Kids. I don’t even believe those footprints in the snow…

This story doesn't even make any fucking sense

Sandra: He’s abusive. Gianna: He’s abusive. Samantha: He’s abusive. Judge: cLeArLy SaNdRa Is BrAiNwAsHiNg ThEm

“Once is more than enough “ .Correct ladies and gentlemen,as soon as someone shows any signs of abuse ,mental or physical it’s time to leave.

Since this aired 5 years ago, I’d be interested to know how this all played out and how the family is doing today. If the Dad was an abusive man, there’s no way he’s gone five years without incident.

"Here they are... the missing girls" "oOp and there they go" " I guess the search is continuing" R U serious

He violated her protection order over 20 times but the judge says there's no signs of abuse?

This is painstaking, this is exactly what happened to me as a kid. The judge didn’t believe anyone who told him that me and my siblings were being abused since my mother seemed so normal and we had no hard proof at the time, luckily the judge made custody my choice but still left the door open for my mother to see me despite my pleads

The judge needs to be looked into. He definitely is connected to the father in some way or form.

this story has more holes than sponge bob

Is anyone else confused by how this story was assembled? It seemed really all over the place and vague to me.

All the kids: he abuses us and our mom The mom: he abuses me and my kids Judge: The mom must be brainwashing them

The most worrying thing for me was the way the father spoke FOR the two girls at the end…stating that “they’re happy to be home” because if the abuse is true..we know he’s controlling?? These girls seemed verryyyy against the fact of living with them…how could they be happy to be in a house with him with no contact from their mother??? We need to hear FROM THEM!

If the father is completely innocent, why would the girls run away? The oldest was 14. Brainwashing a 14 year old about abuse that never happened is difficult. This all seems suspicious. I think the father is at guilt for something.

Why do they need evidence to convict the father but not need evidence against the mother to convict her?

Ignoring abuse is what keeps the cycle going, I do believe this woman was being abused. I do not think 🤔 justice was served here

This is horrifying. Something is not right with this story and MN family courts. My own attorney advised me (I live in Minnesota as well) to not discuss the emotional and physical abuse of my marriage because it could be interpreted as parental alienation. Thankfully, I retain custody of our children the majority of the time. He is supposed to get 1 weekend a month which he rarely exercises as well as 4 weeks in the summer which usually ends up being a week. There is something odd about family courts not wanting to know about emotional and physical abuse. The fact that my ex rarely sees his children and rarely exercises his phone time is a form of emotional abuse in and of itself. Yet the courts don't care, they just want parenting time on the books claiming it is in the best interest of the children. My children at 13 and 15 recognize and understand the things their Dad does and says as abusive. They suffer the consequences of a court system that can easily rip a child from their primary caregiver that does not abuse them simply because that parent brings up the abuse that is the reason for the breakdown of the marriage.

Did anyone else find it odd that the two underaged girls were interviewed but were still considered “missing children,” and the news station doing the interview didn’t contact authorities or parents at all?? That’s they first thing the news people should’ve done. Right?? 🤨

“Here’s the audio recording of the missing girls” They’re not missing if you interviewed them. They’re missing because you let them leave.

I had a similar experience with my parents divorce, dad was abusive but also a police sergeant so they ended up with joint custody of me, I had to live with him from age 11-15 until I ran away.

I definitely believe the daughters that the dad was abusive. I was in a similar situation as a kid and a judge kept wanting my brother and I to go back to my abusive dad, he wouldn’t believe us. One day my brother and I said we’d rather go to jail than back to his house and he finally gave my mom full custody.

when u get bored u just surf the web clicking on anything that looks interesting (edit) bruh so many likes😂

So you're telling me that if I witness one of my parents being abusive- any form of abuse- to the point where I'm afraid of them and my other parent takes it to court. But there's no solid evidence. The court is going to assume that I'm brainwashed, take me from my home and put me in the home of the parent that *I'm very afraid of* ?

That judge needs to be kicked out of court... SMDH

It sounds to me like the judge needs a personal education in being the victim of physical abuse.

wait a minute so y’all just let them WALK OUT after you ‘interviewed’ two missing girls?? i’m sorry WHAT

Such a confusing story & it felt like everybody was lying.

The Judge is crazy and need to be fired. Don’t know how certain Judges get a job? Not sure who are telling the truth. This is not a clear story and didn’t hear statements from the two girls.

plot twist: David bribed the judge to lie and give custody.

The journalist : " We interviewed the underaged missing girls " Police officer : " Where are they ?" Journalist : "I don't know they're still missing "

I think i lost a couple brain cells watching this.

I see several comments saying that the system and/or judge was corrupt in awarding the dad custody, but apparently it was the right thing to do. If you search up the case, it turns out that the mom was lying about most (if not all) of it, even admitting in later interviews that she made up the abuse allegations and coached the kids on what to say.

As a Minnesotan and someone who also has parents who are divorced, I remember when I first saw this video when it came out, I am glad I actually took the time to watch this video throughly now as an adult.

"no evidence, so let's just put the woman behind bars and blame her for everything"

Only 30 seconds and I already figured out the Moral of this story: It Snows in April in Minnesota.

I've heard that "I will always be there for my children" "I've always been there for my children" and the parental alienation is on point. This is a doozy.

Man get alienated and separation from his children, accuse of abusing his children, had 2 years of not knowing where his daughters are. Went through the court and all accusation were unfounded. And all these comments are still defending the woman who was found guilty and spend time in prison by the court system🤦🏿‍♂️. This is the bs men have to deal with😪

How does she have a full face of makeup in jail

And I'm back on this side of KZfaq again

I have the uncomfortable feeling both parents are messed up and I feel awful for the children.

This makes no sense. Edit : Literally at all. lol

Hold on. So ur telling me THEY ALL claim he’s abusing them, She calls the police he’s violating his stay away agreement AND SHE GOES TO JAIL 😭😭😭😭😭whaaaat Oh my.

"Disappear without a trace" footprints in snow: Am I a joke to you?

She mentioned "broken ribs". Broken bones carry their scars for life. A simple x-ray would have shown the old breaks if they were there. So, when the court says; 'there was no evidence' , either somebody fell down on the job and did not show the ribs record of abuse or it was not there to show. When I was in my early 20's I had to get a total bone scan from head to toe. They were looking for any sign of a bone infection. Upon seeing the scan the Doctor became visibly angry and told the person that had brought me there that I had been severely abused pointing at broken leg, broken arm, broken ribs, breaks in my neck, among other things. I actually told him; 'There will be a time for these things to come out, but this is not it'. The record of the abuses I've been put through is written, even now 45 - 50 years latter, on my skeleton.

I had come across similar situations where the abuser, the father, the predator convince the judge. Judge acts unfairly! The victims here are the children who will need to live with a horrible manipulative man!

Who else had this in their recommendations...

Doesn't take 9 minutes to explain how they hid in plain sight

Nobody comment till you hear this part. It’s a huge part that most people are missing. 6:41

the girls are SCARED to be with their dad but yet the judge put the girls in THE SAME HOUSE as their dad, something is wrong here.

Plot twist: The judge is friends with David.

I can’t believe I actually just witnessed this garbage.

Wow! Wow! Corruption is exactly what I see and can sense. And I can tell you...just by hearing tidbits of the actual story and looking into the eyes of the participants, that there was cahoots going on and it was not with this mother. If anything, you can seriously tell that she was really frightened for her children and tried to help the two eldest daughters to get away from the environment and not the father himself. As we all know, children are suppose to be happy and not absorb anything negative. If they do, it can have quite the negative impact on them and in their day to day lives. And I should know more than anyone! I'm a subject of my parent's divorce and was deeply affected by it. And I know well of what those effects are and it took me many years to understand that none of it was due to my behalf. It was a fight between good and evil, the ability to survive and the ability to be not killed, and etc. For one, no evidence your honor?! Tapes, police records, restraining orders, and witnesses; Two of them are young adults of the fighting couple in question. What you did do was to get child activists and Psychologists to interview the girls for the truth behind the allegations. However, child activists and Psychologists are known to use mind bending techniques to get to the truth and they are just as corrupted as anything and everything that is flawed. Of course, they are sworn to tell you their truthful findings and yet, their findings is so-so. But, what you didn't do, you didn't examine any of the evidence until it was nearing the end of the case in which you render your verdict. And in an instant, you didn't see anything! What did you expect to find?! Her dead body?! Or is it the kids dead body?! Bruising is easy and simple! Is that it?! What?! Records of doctor visits?! Emergency contacts?! All you did is to look into the eyes of this man and figured that he's a gentle giant, how could he sound so menacing and do these things. Then, you looked at the mother and figured....oh, she doesn't look like an angel, she's a inkling in disguise. She more likely to do this kind of thing than him. And then you point the finger at her; she's the instigator, tosses her out of the house, takes the children away from her and had the aunt to raise them for a while, but then, she's in jail and now, she's not allowed to have no contact with her two eldest daughters ever. She can see the other kids and visit them but, not the daughters. And I can tell you now, all of this was planned and plotted by him just so he can have some sense of security. Bravo! Bravo! You really did your job....not! You became too sympathetic and he took an advantage of that. Men are masters when it comes to that dark side of them. They hide it and they hide it well. I know this too! And he will be back there again. Just wait for the next one, he'll strike when no one suspects it. And one more thing, he is not going to let those girls see their mother ever! If anything, he will most likely take them to their grandma or someone similar but, I seriously doubt that he is going to let those girls see their mother. And this poor woman has to live her life in constant scrutiny and in check because she will be watched closely. No room to maneuver and freedom at a price, and controlled, just the way he likes it! Talking about a narcissist to the tenth power! And far as those girls doing well...whose words are those? His's?! It's laughable!

I find this disturbing. I believe the girls and the judge just assuming nothing happened is disgusting and misogynistic in my opinion.

SO the kids are saying they are scared of their own father, they don't wanna live with him but still make them live with their dad...WTAF?!

WARNING: Don't watch this unless you enjoy puzzles with missing pieces. You will end up scratching your head at the end. 🤔

As soon as I saw the judge was a man i knew he was gonna be a problem

Parental alienation usually starts when the kids are at a young age. They grew up with their father... how can we protect our kids if no one will believe them? They can’t run away to their mom so they just ran elsewhere. And how can you not recognize your own children after two years?!

Was this really disorganized and patchy to anyone else or am I tripping out?

If he did abuse her, he wouldn’t admit it when asked.

Bro this was 67 plot twists in one vid

Wow. Wtf, this court decision is wild. Sandra knows more than she’s saying, that’s why she’s so calm rn. You can tell she would be FLIPPING OUT if she really had no idea

why am i more clueless after watching this than before ?

Judge: “there is no evidence of abuse” Also Judge: “The mother brain washed her children” Me: Where tf is your evidence then?

Trail was cold, confessions was made, bruises can heal Judge: nah this women is the mastermind

That Judge has a HORRIBLE past and should NOT be making ANY decisions for defenseless children because he ONLY cares about MONEY!!💯💯💯

Obviously those 2 girls know something ,they need to speak up

something is wrong with this story. I don't know if both parents r nuts but something is not right.

He must was a bad person because the kids voluntarily went

So the wife says he's abusive, the kids say he's abusive but the judge says he isn't. And then gives custody to him. That judge is corrupted. I could see a lawsuit in the future

So your husband beats you and tortures you and abuses your children, and then the judge puts you in jail because you look kinda crazy to him? Did he not think for a second that maybe she seemed unhinged because she was abused for 20 years by her husband? No? And now she's in jail.... And the abuser has the kids, even though they don't want to be with him. Tell me again how women have the upper hand in divorce, please.

They watched too much pretty little liars

This man and judge seem to relate over something that is unsaid...

He smiled when asked if he ever assaulted his wife or kids while saying, "nO"

This is like my 💯th documentary since being quarantined 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️.

I'm confused.. am I tripping or did I missed the part where they explained why the mom was in jail w/ a million dollar bail bond??

I wish I had this judge... My ex-wife was arrested for assaulting me which involved my two little boys. She files for divorce and I'm told by the judge that I have to relinquish my children to her even though I have an EPO (Emergency Protective Order) stating she's not supposed to be within 200 yards of me or my children. 2+ years later I'm still in the middle of a divorce and now she's requesting I have supervised visitation with my own children.

This reminds me of my own family. My dad was abusive. My siblings and i said he was, mom said he was, and the judge granted us with a 3 year restraining order but he didnt even get a slap on the wrist and walked free

k well see you all in 5 years when this gets recommended to us again

Fuck 30 second ads with no skip button

If the judge would have lived in that house with that family, 24/7, it wouldn’t have taken long, before the husband, would have shown his TRUE ABUSIVE PERSONALITY to the judge!!!!! Than the judge could have made a logical intelligent decision ! That would have helped all the children!!!! End of Story!!!

Violating a restraining order is enough to speak to Dad's character. This is a misogynistic judge.

This video explained nothing. Why is the mom in jail? Why did the girls run away? What did they say to the news station?

mom: their dad is abusive kids: our dad is abusive and we don’t wanna b around him dad: ... court: okay well these kids have been brainwashed by their mom. i gave custody to da dad kids: **run away** court:😲... well what’re y’all sitting here for?? lock the mom up! (edit) i guess i missed some parts of the video. my bad 😳

As a dad, if my kids didn't want to see me, I would not force them to. I care about them. They are not my possessions.

Corruption going on. I feel for her and the children. Prayers for the family and for more good honest judges.

The judge related to the dad in a way that would make me want to take a closer look at the judge's personal life.

Dad is a liar. Mum is a liar. Judge is corrupt. Poor kids.

She had a protection order and he violated time and time again, he should’ve been put in jail. How they say there’s no signs of abuse when he’s abusing her right of protection🤦🏽‍♀️ this justice system is a joke, they don’t do anything until it’s too late smh

Unfortunately the “authorities” always take the side of the abuser and not the side of the victims especially if the victims are female.

Is this supposed to be a video about how two young girls hid in plain sight, as the title says? Or about a family's personal life and couple's divorce, as the video shows?

This story leaves more questions than answers

This stinks to high heaven! What a total crock that court made of justice, has anyone looked into the judge and his past findings? 20 calls to police and a restraining order? The dad is so sleezy my skin crawls.

Corruption to say the least! That judge needs to be put in jail.

There was an order of protection, Police was called over 20 times by the mother, he violates the order, all the kids say the same story but the judge ignored all of this. Yes, corrupt Jugde.

There are so many “missing” ppl out there that aren’t really missing. They left...

Judge is an abuser hiding another abuser. Desperately sad that this went so far, a destroyed family

So difficult; if one parent is high-conflict, and the other is doing their best to try to stay reasonable…
