  The interesting thing about the Menendez brothers is that after all these years, their story hasn’t changed.

  Not sure if someone else already commented, but the Menendez brothers told their older cousin and other family members starting in the 1970s. The brothers recounted how when they were little and back at their old home (Midwest? East Coast?) their older girl cousin came to visit and they asked if they could stay in her room and told her they were being molested and scared to go to bed in their own rooms. The older girl cousin confronted Kitty and Kitty never let the boys see her or have her over and they were in trouble after that. They boys reached out to others at least a few times but no one helped them. I believe them.

  I completely believe the brothers. If you have any understanding of child sexual abuse including a mother who is cooperating by closing her eyes, you can understand the amount of rage that would cause a kid to totally blow. Tragic!

  Okay but a former Mafia boss rehabilitated into a YouTuber is the best thing I’ve found

  As far as I know, the brothers&apos; father went to live in the USA when he was a teenager, but his nationality at birth was Cuban. I am Cuban, and I have lived all my life on the island; when I was about 19 years old I first learned of the frequency with which cases of incest, involving pedophilia, occurred in my country. <br>It was through a neighbor who was already an older woman at the time and who took care of her mother... however, it was obvious that she resented it, I was fond of her because she was very kind to everyone, so I did not understand the dynamic with her own mother. I think one day she must have seen my bewildered expression because it was then that she told me in an aside what she and her sisters and brother suffered from the unspeakable abuses to which their father subjected them, and that this was the reason that all of them left as soon as they turned 16 - that is the age of majority in Cuba - and that eventually only she remained in Cuba. My neighbor married at 17, had a son, was widowed at 25, and never married again, devoting herself to her only son until he too emigrated. It wasn&apos;t until she was about 45 that she first went to a therapist, and to her surprise and my horror, she was told that her case was much more common than she imagined and that it was amazing how well she had done on her own without having gone to seek help first. Still, when she found out that her mother had cerebral ischemia, she took her home and took care of her. By the time she told me the story, two of her sisters had committed suicide, and the brother, as she learned from his son, was homeless and addicted to who knows what. After crying like a baby, I could only hug her and tell her that she was probably one of the strongest and most upright people I had ever known. <br>A few days ago I learned that she had passed away, she lived more than 8 decades, and I only hope that her spirit gets all the light and peace that she deserves. <br>Personally, for me pedophiles are murderers, they kill the person that could have been, and turn them into someone who needs to constantly remind themselves that not everyone around them is a monster.

  Prayers for Lyle and Erik. It&apos;s inexcusable how long society has held to the notion that men can&apos;t be victims of sexual abuse

  When the mother spoke of hating them she also spoke of how they took her husband away from her. This child hatred is actually fairly common with mothers who become jealous of their victimized children. Looking at them as rivals rather than innocent victims. &nbsp;It can be the most painful part of these crimes for the child or children involved because they always hope their mother will protect them and believe them. That emotional betrayal that takes place with their own mother turning on them in fits of jealousy, and watching as it happens without stopping it and protecting her children is often described as being more painful than the sexual abuses going on. &nbsp;It stays with the children forever.

  Totally agree with everyone who understands what abusive trauma does to young brains. How could they invent such a story? The problem is ordinary people cannot believe such things happen. They do. We all struggle with believing such things happen but they do. They do!

  My favorite part of this channel is watching Michael review a portrayal of historic criminal events and saying “actually I knew those guys and this is how it really went down”

  I am in the appalachain mountains of NC. We need help, no water, no food, no fuel, no cell service. I&apos;m glad my family and I know how to hunt and make a fire to cook. Please pray for all impacted by this storm. It&apos;s total devastation here. Thanks for taking my mind off of this situation here 🙂

  Bardem was so good in this show. The scene where he calls his mom was just so raw
