Though I do feel there are some serious issues with this family (they aren't eating enough, they are very controlled, Brooke's stage parenting is annoying, they are all very isolated), I think sometimes people can look too far into the abuse thing, seeing cries for help that aren't there with 'hidden messages' in videos and such. Social media can also blow things out of proportion and levying accusations of physical abuse is a very serious matter. I'm glad more legends are waking up and noticing the weird things but some of the things they accuse Brooke and Justin of make me uncomfortable and there is no evidence of, just accusations. I'd hope one of the kids would have the courage to speak out if it was that bad and get help. Hopefully by the time Sabre is 18 she will have been given more freedom to grow and have more of a regular teenage life.
it is extremely unprobable that sabre is asking for help.
the parents are very strict. brooke uses her strong emotional bond with the children to emotionally manipulate them.
but there is no sign or reason for us to think that the kids are victims of physical or emotional abuse.
the more interesting question is if all the serious issues we know about can be thought as some kind of(unintentional!!) kind of abuse or neglect
or just as bad parenting.
they are not eating enough,they are very controlled,they are very isolated and overworked.
does all this add up to abuse/neglect or is it just bad parenting.
i tend to bad parenting.
again-i think this is unintentional. the parents love and care for their children and want to do the best for them.
but they are very mistaken and they are harming them in various ways.
