I think the actress was actually over 20 when they filmed this

SAME

but im kinda confused on why the mother was like "Shes only fifteen I'm gonna show this to the police!" Isnt the boy also 15 or at least in high school like her?? Or is he 18 or older? ?

Sarah Staats I’m pretty sure he was older

@@MadisonSpearslol ohhh 😬

The biggest plot twist of them all

15*

Z does it really matter if she’s 14 or 15 if she looks like she’s 50?

😂🤦🏿‍♂️

Ryan Maliek damn that girl be looking old

Nope 😂

That's not true. It depends on the parent. I have the ability to locate my son and daughter through their phone but have never used it. I live in Chicago and shit happens here all the time. If I ever couldn't find my child, I would call them, a lot, and then of that doesn't work, call everyone I know they would be with and if THAT doesn't work, then yes, I'm tracking their phone.

@@time2rowco999 Exactly. People are crazy out here. If they can put trackers in pets, its not problem keeping tabs on your kids... That other shenanigans in this episode was wayyyy too much though. like the censorship and seeing what she sees is too much!

I'm 14, I look twelve

Where did u get 14 , she’s 15

Liberty Adams the girl who plays her is def in her 20s. She’s an Aussie actress from puberty blues

I think she's 15

Right? The night Trick drove Sara back home I was like "why don't you just come out of the house and greet them 2 and ask if they were in a relationship". Maybe that way Sara would tell something and they could work out from there

@@MidoriGa95 THANK YOU!!! That would've been the perfect opportunity to go into interrogation mode. Maybe not an intense interrogation, but invite Trick in, see how they act together, then hit 'em with a 'So, you two doing it? You using protection?' and they likely would've been too shocked/discomfited to lie, and it would've worked out well!

To be honest I wish Marie taught Sarah about sex and flame body and what to do and what not to do instead of just watching over her with a tablet on 24/7 including drugs and how they aren’t good for you

She doesn't know how to, she's socially and emotionally stunted like her daughter. Both of them don't know how to talk to each other or interact. Her parents probably was her generic "arc angel" growing up. Always sheltering her, projecting their fears on her, probably living vicariously through her as well pressuring her to fulfill their dreams, in which she failed to do so and lost potential in their eyes somewhere along the way. That's why she fails to see herself worthy, that's why her dad views her as a disappointment, he doesn't know how to talk to her either. That's also why she is having an affair with a patient who is involved in a relationship. She doesn't "morally" know any better. She doesn't understand the consequences. She self sabotages as well..just like her daughter. Plus people learn and grow from experiences. A person has to grow in their own ways. All the warnings and talks in the world wouldn't have prevented her from finding her own way in life. Trying to repress and oppress her through fear isn't helping. Its hindering. People are going to press the red button despite the warnings and danger.

@@saranoone5086 honestly comparing the mom and the daughter isn’t a good comparison, since the daughter grew up very different with that arkangel program. You have to be willing to take that into consideration, in which one might think it’s what led her to be with a guy like trick ever since she was 9, he was interesting and alluring to her since he embodies exactly what her mom had put a filter on her whole life up until that point, thus drawing her curiosity to the boy.

This comment just blew my mind

Too ominous for me

Yeah and the one time ark Angel should be used, she can’t use it. Nice bit of irony

Yeah, when she was hitchhiking that’s when I got more worried for her danger

I thought that too!!

Yeah, censoring a child's vision is what made me upset. When they're a teen, they have to know about the real world.

Honestly that's why they daughter started to self harm- the cenorship did more damage than good in the end

I think it's a grate idea but the chip should dissolve once they reach 18.

Muhammad Ali that’s not good. The kid should be allowed privacy. It’s not fair if the parents know where they are at all times

Welp, that's why it got banned so fast, isn't it? It was moms fault to keep using it, she should've thrown it away when the guy said it.

Exactly

Joji

No shit sherlock

I agree with the GPS thing... what harm could it do to know here your child is? What if they were kidnapped, or somewhere dangerous?

Everybody should use GPS tracking on their loved ones, my parents and siblings even gave me theirs for safety reasons. But the other things is terrifying and I hope never happens

April Rants duh 🙄

That would literally destroy me. I would either make myself blind or keep my eyes closed almost all the time or keep looking up while I write out conversations I wouldn’t want anyone watching or knowing about and texting on my phone looking away etc so that she can’t tell what I’m writing at least until I can create a code language to use and then I can look at my writing or phone and if she ever catches on look back up again away from what I’m writing or texting but the fact I would have to do that in the first place is horrible and the fact that everything is visually censored is horrible U know god forbid I blink and she doesn’t know about it the sad thing is I know if this were happening today, that my in laws would have done this to my husband. To this day they constantly bug things and I have to get rid of them, them putting cameras around recording visuals and conversations, tracking his car, tracking his phone and having to look up how to shut it off, putting things in their name even if he’s paying for it all so that they can control everything, adding their name to all his financial accounts and making sure I don’t have my name on it so they can take out money that he works hard for whenever they want even though we struggle to afford enough food and rent and gas/metro money (depending on what transportation he uses, which usually is the bus or train now bc they took his car away that he bought bc legally it’s in their name to make life difficult for him so he will “come back to them” Bc he’s married and moved out again bc at some time in our life we had to stay with them in the beginning), but yet they’ve went on four vacations in the past four months across the country and bought a condo and new expensive jewelry and everything, but they apparently still need his money when they know sometimes we struggle with food and rent and my doctor appts bc I’m chronically ill and sometimes I have to choose between not having: pain, and constant vomiting, or headaches, or chronic nerve pain, or my GI system not working right and needing another procedure (I’ve had over 30 in the past two years and I’m 23 years old), etc or not being hungry, but they want to control everything and I’ve had to in the past since he is too scared to take them off the act and they know if my name is on it I will do that, that i have to often take out everything with his extra card and put it all to cash and take it home and put it somewhere hidden in the house for my husband and I to get to if we need it and everytime they know immediately bc they have an online acct to watch everything we buy with the card and everytime they call both of screaming on why there isn’t anything in the acct again and they hate how I just want him to have some space and control in his life bc he has literally cried to me before and had panic attacks not knowing how to deal with these types and people and too scared to act on setting himself free and luckily I’m not as scared I grew up in violence and abuse and a different type of control so I’m not afraid of threats especially empty threats but even if I know I’m gonna get beat idc cuz I’mma still put up a f-cking fight I’m not a scared little girl anymore and slowky my husband is growing from being that scared little boy and I always tell him go see them, go have a family day, at least once a week especially during the warmer weather, unless it’s his work or college schedule that stops him, I tell him go have fun even if I don’t wanna go too sometimes bc I want him to have fun with his family and bond, etc, I just don’t want them controlling every part of his life, and only liking me if I help them control him but if I don’t, then I’m a terrible wife and will spread rumors about me that I’ve had to show receipts to my husband to show they aren’t true and that I was where I was or wasn’t where they say I was to prove i am not doing or saying etc any of the things they say I am, or sometimes it’s really fun when he was with me the whole day that day but they don’t know that so they will try to claim they saw me somewhere doing something or with somebody and that it was me look how terrible I am and we’re both trying not to laugh bc I don’t even gotta prove it bc we were together and not there...I’m glad this doesn’t exist bc already with today’s technology it’s a f-cking hassle dealing with all this BS of them trying to control his life, imagine with this technology what they would do...I don’t even want to imagine his life with this device in it...nope. That’s a giant nope for me and everyone I care about, and even people I don’t care about. And the same goes for his sister though I know she doesn’t life me either bc I “took her brother away” when he still sees her, but I can’t force them to hang out and they’re moving including her anyway...whatever, I’m not getting into this again, but even for her, bc I still care about her well being even if she doesn’t feel the same, I understand mentally from her point of view why and if blaming me helps that’s fine but already, even though she has a much better time with them and more freedom with them than my husband does, I still can’t imagine what it would be like for her either and I wouldn’t wife this for her either. And I still care for her. I wouldn’t wish this on someone I don’t care about. I actually wouldn’t wish this upon someone I hate. This just would screw up a lot of people’s lives, physically and mentally. There is so much wrong with it I could go in but I think I’ve said more than enough and will stop here.

@@dianabates5860 Wow.

There was already an entire Tumblr thread about this idea when someone shared an ad of a primitive version of Arkangel. It was an advertisement for a device that could give access to your child's entire internet history and of course children of controlling parents told them it was a bad idea. But like Marie, they didn't listen, or want to, because they wanted to assert their authority as the parent and have control, which is way different than being an actual parent. Arkangel shows this perfectly as Marie doesn't actually parent her child but rather monitors her through a screen. All the dangerous shit that her daughter went through could have been mostly prevented given that they have good communication and given that the mother taught her those things, but she didn't. She censored them, which ironically brought her more danger. It's irritating to explain this to controlling parents cause they're like Marie. They don't learn until it's too late.

Diana Bates Jesus fuckin Christ-

Yeah, I thought she was 17, not 15. Like, she was about to graduate from high school and the mom was freaking out not just because her daughter was becoming an adult, but because she was going to leave soon. But... 15? Dude, she freaked out when. None of her friends knew where she was, which is why she turned on the tablet for the first time in 6 years. That's understandable to me. Her continuing to watch or get super paranoid after without telling her daughter, like, I know you weren't at your friends house, where were you? Just knowing she wasn't being murdered somewhere should've been the relief. But she didn't confront the lying. Which is the important part.

Very true the mother sheltered her daughter so much she became naive. We see her getting into a truck and we already know that's not a good thing. The mother should have taken her father's advice to learn to balance giving her daughter freedom at the same time talk to her, let her see the real world for what it is. Stop hiding the truth about the world. School the daughter about boys, and friends, strangers, etc.

Oh no not a truck! I think you mean get into a strangers vehicle.

Unprotected sixsome with trucker and his buddies on a first trucker stop, probably including drugs and smelling gasoline fumes? Sounds legit.

Leaving the nest. That's also the fear that coincides with that one. Alot of parents fear becoming empty nesters. Also, Marie's worse fear was the disconnect and isolation that she was suffering from the world, her daughter , and herself that she was feeling.

Lets be real Sara only made bad decisions 😂

@@lo9184 Definitely not true. Everyone in that episode made bad decisions impacting everything.

Leslie Castiel i would lose my fucking mind, seriously

Which is why it's done in secret.

That’s the cost of a free product

the sad thing is there are a lot of children like sara who hit there parents , your mom and dad are way importend then ur fake freedom (having sex and doing drugs)

Yes, that's the point. You're right about everything, but that's what the episode was going for - showing the issues of these overprotective parents

@@ivanyang7032 Yeah, I know that was the point. I was just giving my take on the issues the episode explored.

Or let her grow up and experience things for herself which sucks

The fact the other didn’t feed her daughter the greens already show her lackluster parenting ways.

The whole time, I thought she was 17 or 18, like why was the mom so concerned with her adult daughter having sex? but nope apparently she's 15 with the physique of a 20 year old

I find the concept of people in their 20's playing teenagers in movies and tv shows so odd. This is why 13 year olds think they have to look like adults in order to be "normal".

Alexa F. Like on one hand I get but also I don’t want to see a fourteen year old actress simulating a sex scene. That’s just all sorts of wrong.

That’s how I looked at 14. I don’t know about you but puberty doesn’t work like that. Some 12 year olds look 16 and some look 8, some 18 year olds look 12 and some look 27.

@@hannandersha lol

Seriously? I was pissed at Sara. Sure, her mother ruined a lot of her upbringing, but Sara was being a dumbass asking for cocaine and having sex at 15. I'm her age and I know it's very irresponsible.

reeetard sara was never really educated about how bad these things were BECAUSE of her mum being too overprotective lol

@@chloe-pc2vx Yes, but only from ages 3-9. That's not enough to make Sara completely clueless about drugs and sex. The mother seemed to be a bit naive with her parenting and only really wanted the best for Sara.

@@aaliyah8215 "She killed her child".... what? The mother didn't kill anyone. And she barely affected her childhood. She only ruined unimportant years.

@@kee1755 The entire point of the episode is how kids need to learn to make their own mistakes. Yeah, shes a dumbass, that's the point. But her mother is more concerned with 'protecting' her than teaching her. She doesn't confront her daughter about the lying about where she went, taking cocaine, or being pregnant. She instead threatens her boyfriend, secretly slips her an abortion pill, etc. The mother is not concerned with teaching right from wrong. She's not attempting to raise her daughter to not be a reckless dumbass. She's simply trying to block her from all of it. It parallels the censor. As a kid, everything that stressed her out was censored. Blood, that aggressive dog, her grandpa in need of help. Because of that, she was never able to come to terms with any of it. It's not until she gets the censor removed, for example, that she is able to confront and befriend the dog. Comparatively, even though the literal censor is turned off, her mom is still figuratively censoring her life. Not letting her come to terms with safe sex and her own pregnancy, and refusing to make her acknowledge the dangers of drugs or her boyfriend's influence. Essentially, she's trying to block everything that can harm Sara from her, and as a result, Sara cannot learn and grow. So yeah, she's a dumbass, but her mother is absolutely refusing to teach her any better

I'm sorry, I can empathize with that!

Slam_24 i know how you feel, i have an overprotective sister and i have no freedom, can’t go to party’s, not allowed to have a boyfriend. my childhood is really fucked up because of that and because i don’t get enough love i really don’t know how to act

Honestly though, it would have been better and it would have had more of an impact if she looked closer to 15-16. I thought she was playing 18 or 19, not 15.

Maybe they choose an actor to make her look older than she actually was to shock the audience when they revealed her age

@@averageuser4651 that doesn't seem like a smart move

Mar bly but I guess in a way it does because if you think about it, in today’s day and age 13,14, and 15 year olds are looking and acting like 17,18, and 19 year olds. But what do I know I mean it’s just a theory

15 is so young, she shouldn’t be doing coke n shit

Yup

Life 360 is amazing though and everybody should have it. Why wouldn’t you want to know if a loved one was in an accident? I’m 23 and it was my younger brothers idea for our parents to track us and for my siblings and I to track them and each other. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to do that, I’m 23 I don’t got anything to hide and I’d want my family to know if I was in an accident or got kidnapped

Can be, fam. First time I saw it, I thought it was that truck from Nosedive.

Moozy Foozy you a stupid bitch

"A young, pretty, blonde woman getting into a (likely male) stranger's truck really doesn't bode well according to statistics." I mean, according to statistics there is probably a 99% chance that she's fine. You make it sound like the majority of truck drivers are rapists or murderers lol.

She deserves to get harmed.

@@cesare.manlangitjr.7668 I'm sorry what?

It's literally stereotypically a parent's worst fear that their child gets into a car with a stranger. It's clearly intentional.

She's gonna wish her mom had that device now.

“Lorry” drivers??? lol I like that

It also shows how clueless she is because her mom didn’t teach her the dangers of this stuff.Like doing drugs and having sex and getting in a stranger’s truck.

tequilashots875 I still blame her mom, her mom didn’t explain things to her she just filtered it. Don’t do drugs, don’t get in the car with strangers, and don’t do a lot of things but rather than explain it she just watched her and then acted.

But it still is a good piece of tech, especially if the child wants to make sure they are okay, setting up a safety net.

Truth!

Bad move

@Squelcher DZ You shouldn't really take hard advice from TV shows. I think it's best to have an adult (pun intended), honest conversation with your parents about this. It's always better to talk about these things instead of everyone jumping to conclusions on their own - parents *deciding* location sharing is a good move; kids deciding to *never* turn it on; etc. They're worried about you. Newsflash - you're their kid! But SOMETIMES it might be up to you to set SOME boundaries and educate your parents. Maybe go with a temporary deal. Like only share on the weekends or ... something. Think about it. Letting your parents know where you are is mostly a good thing. But you know your needs for privacy best so have a *calm* talk with them. Your parents' daily schedule might be so full they can't always check on you to see if you're OK. They could see location sharing as a good, convenient way to "keep an eye" on you from afar. But you're not *really* safe until we invent the personal teleporter. :P Discussing problems honestly, a good general education about life, safety etc. and developing relationships based on trust are MUCH better at keeping you and your family safe and happy.

Yeah I have the Life 360 thing with my parents and I always saw it as a good thing. What if you get lost or kidnapped? They will be able to find you. And there is an emergency button for if you are in trouble. I feel safe with it and it’s not like my parents actually use it to track my every move. It’s just a safety procedure for if the worst happens.

i agree no . everyone who agrees with sarah is a narcissist. first off , the mother was worried about her FIFTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER . as she should because she wasn’t picking up the calls . this resorted in her using the tablet which keep in mind she kept off of for many many years . i’m sorry . but i doubt you’d want your fifteen year old doing this stuff and being untrustworthy . i know the mom took it far but you must not understand what being a parent is like . i doubt your ever even going to have a kid because who would want to raise a kid with you . anyways this is coming from a fifteen year old . and because i’m not old like you i understand what it’s like , you probably forgot . the mom wasn’t a helicopter parent till she needed to be. also did y’all forget she is a single mother , who’s father just died ??? she literally has no preotection in her home . she was really just trying to keep her stupid daughter safe

I went to middle school that went from grade 4 to grade 8. It's possible that they are 3-4 years apart.

True but some times parents need to tell teens be teens and experience things for themselves

Admittedly, many protective parents mean well. But keep in mind there are some parents that are narcissists - and controlling and manipulation is a major mode of operation for narcissists. It's important to know which type you are dealing with, because you can at least reason with an overprotective parent that means well over time - and a narcissist will just view it as an attack and things may get worse.

Her mom should've let her daughter be a fucking human, not a subject.

I have a@usive parents who did this, and I will explain why I don't feel bad for her Mother. When you do this integration on your children. You make sneakier kids who get good at lying. I had to do this just going to the movies when I was 22. Again she watched her do it. Very much invasive and weird. She made her take the pill without talking to her about the pregnancy. Nah, I hope her daughter never speaks to her again. This is what she deserves.

I don't wanna know what my kids are doing every damn second of the day. They're going to do things you don't like. They still need a certain amount of privacy.

@hoola bella Yeah don't worry, I know the mother wasn't right at all. I never said she was. I felt conflicted because as a mother, I know what it feels to be afraid to lose your child. So I understand the 'want' to know if they are OK. I do not, however, understand helicopter parents or whatnot. I do not agree. I just mentioned that I understand both point of view in the episode, althought yes, the mother was clearly in the wrong.

I am a mother too but cannot sympathize with the mom. Sure we all want our children to be safe from everything negative but the real world does not work that way. The mother lack communication skills and instead teaching her daughter the proper way to manage life the older she get, mom believe she needed her trusty device to track her every move. Thats why many children wind up to be naive adults who don't know how to cope with life and the stress along with it.

Suffocating your children will only make them hate you. My parents used to be pretty protective of me but saw it was making my quality of life a lot worse. I’m 20 now and the most protective they are is wanting my location which is I think as far as being very protective should go for an adult child. Let them make they’re own mistakes and think about if them being able to make mistakes is more important than their happiness
