In an way you can call this Fake News, real reporting on Jennifer's fake stories. LOL

“With the promotions I expected this to be a look at how a family could fake normality when actually hiding great trauma. What I got was a long winded exploration of Jennifer is the problem. 3 episodes & they are still not done "exploring" if Jennifer was faking her families happiness or not. News Flash, the car crash establishes they were not happy! We don't need to expore if that is a reality or not. Accident or intentional, the drunk parent was driving, which means at the least she had convince a sober spouse to let her risk the families lives in some way. A sober person is not going to allow that unless they feel the consequences are greater to say no.
Additionally, that Jennifer is portrayed as the instigator of the harm in the family does not negate Sarah's responsibility. She is a grown woman too & an equal partner in ensuring the kids are being treated safely & fairly. Failing to do that because you don't like how hard the consequences are on you does not absolve that responsibility. That is why both parents go to jail in abuse cases, even when only on parent does the abuse... becasue the 2nd person is responsible to stop it if they know it happens.
Now lets get to the reality of Jennifer. She was not a super depresed, good person that just was in over her head that the story is trying to absolve her as. What she is comes out more complet. I conceed she is possibly depressed, but she is not a good person stuck in her situtation. She is a manipulator using her family in order to present a false persona so that her audience will envy her all so she can feel imporant and good about herself. It is a result of a personality disorder, soemthing she can manage and/or eliminate with treatement. In unofficial terms people might call her an "attention junkie." It is important to note all her friends are fleeting through her life or shallow relationships that exist more than involve, because these are relationships that will never devel into her stories to uncover the lies and expose her reality. It is important to recognize that her stories are all hyper sensational. No one experience hyper extreme every time they do something. It does happen, but so rarely a person is lucky to experience just one. More common is a story that is interesting but has only one or two extremes to them. So a story that your kids talk to a homeless person, the homeless person is actually just facial deformed, has terminal cancer, is at the last days of his cancer, had a life epiphany from your kids, and oh, he is not homeless is just too many extremes for reality. More than likely, if the kids did have the opportunity to do this, the kids did talk to someone homeless & that person felt blessed not to be judged by those kids. End of story... no Days of Our Lives Drama in it.
This really could be something good if more reality & science & facts were evaluated. Where are communications with the officers & Social Services or other oganizations that would know more about the family dinamic details & their deaths. What about looking at how Social Services failed at identifying the women as unfit parents. The kids lacked beds, nutrition, & socialization. Those are big red flags. That they had a foster daughter pre these kids that they publicly posted about (let alone deragotry info) is a major no-no in fostering & can get your license revoked. So, how did that get to be okay here?
All it seems to focus on is the gossip & rumors of people that knew of the family (mostly through facebook postings of Jennifer... which have repetatively been proven to be exaggerated or completely false). Which of course only created unsubstatiated views & enhansed confusion, because all that is based on is personal emotions from finding out they were manipulated by false stories all along. ...”Read full review »

“The reviews mentioning some liberal bias about race in the reporting might safely be ignored...Race IS the center of this story. Institutionalized racism is at the heart of our broken foster & adoption system & the core reason these kids were killed by these 2 women & failed by the systems meant...”Read full review »

“Very tragic story, but it’s not being told well. The episodes are over taken with ads while it feels like forever before we advance in their story.”
