  I understand what happened to Rudy. It's like when a baby elephant is chained to a chair and it grows up not even considering that they can break the chain. Trauma is so convenient for controlling opportunists.

  If this was a father/daughter case instead of a mother/son it would be a completely different story. What a shame.

  Ten to one the brainwashing started when he was a kid, and if you're raised in a situation like this, just turning 18 doesn't mean all the chains fall off, so it's no wonder he didn't "just leave" when he became an adult. He probably doesn't think like an adult right now.

  Remember when people criticized Gypsy Rose Blanchard for her actions, saying "Why not just run away and go to the cops?" After seeing this case, I understand why Gypsy thought it was better to take the law into her own hands.

  So his name is Rudolph, he went by Rudy. Disappeared and then a nephew named Dolph showed up??? HOW DID NO ONE REALIZE?! She didn’t even try that hard to hide him. They completely failed him

  If every victim had a voice speaking for them like Mr. X does for Rudy, then I think there would be a lot more solved cases.

  HOW can they not be bringing charges against her? It doesn't matter that he was an adult, he's been locked in rooms, drugged, mentally abused. even if he says he wasn't sexually assaulted, but someone forcefully making their way into your shower and making you bathe them naked IS assault.

  That man's passion about helping Rudy is just... yes. We need more people like X in this world. We need to change how LE gets to conduct themselves.

  I think their attitude toward Rudy can best be summed up with one of those detective's words, "Well...Rudy is a 25-year-old man; he could do whatever he wants." They don't think he is a victim because he is a man who chose to go back to his abusive mother. Never mind, he has been drugged up by her, never mind he has intellectual disabilities. Insanity.

  Why do people (especially police) still not believe that a man or boy can be physically and sexually abused by a woman? If this was a female where this had started when the female was a girl, the man that did that would be locked up and the woman would be looked after. Why is a boy who was manipulated by his mother (let’s say groomed) not held in the same esteem? EF THESE DOUBLE STANDARDS!

  if this abuser was a man and the victim was his daughter, they would have been arrested by now. the way this has been handled is so egregious, the victim deserves better than this :(
