  1. This a two way street everyone… remember but he was definitely groomed no doubt. Sad and disgusting

  2. These "detectives" are idiots…..

  3. Munchausen by proxy ?

  4. I knew this story was sketchy.

  5. This doesn't really add up cause how you been at the home the whole time and nobody freaking notice anything!

  6. She should be atleast charged with misusuing police services, lying to police in an investigation…ugh i can go on,but yeah could be given false info…really!! 8 yrs theyvused the police for nothing!

  7. Suspish much!?? Gross wow kept that up for 8 yrs!! Beyond disgusting

  8. And the cops or investigators never visited the home on eight years?? Or drove by? Neighbors, family, no one reported anything off?

  9. Don’t blame the son, whatever happened he was a minor at the time. I think he was the victim here.

  10. Don’t worry, they MIGHT charge the mother for misleading police!!

  11. This mother emotionally and mentally manipulated her son to play as her husband. Making him work, sleep, and bathe her. Are they even trying to report this?

  12. This is such a strange story. Something’s off here. None of the neighbors or family reported son was home all that time?

  13. I think Mom may have been a monster.

  14. Could and should be charged and BOTH put in prison! How many tax dollars were spent looking for him? and what was the little fat greaseball doing while he was on the DL- i guarantee it was nefarious at best! PRISON for TWO! 😡

  15. Gee, so in this day and age giving a fake name and birthday to cops still works. Who’d have thunk it. I’ll remember that next time I’m on the run from the cops.

  16. Did they have a go fund me page to help find “”the kidnapped son?”

  17. That’s very odd.

  18. Idk what to make of this one

  19. This is the kind of people who make me not want to donate to go fund me accounts!!!! What did she do with the 💰 money???

  20. OF COURSE, more taxpayer funds being spent for 8 years on liars! How much can Americans keep bleeding?

  21. Did the kid go to school??

  22. Leave it to fake news nbc to Censor out half the real information in this story..

  23. Some people are just crazy

  24. They were probably playing it for the attention. Were they running any Gofundme campaigns?

  25. Im confused. This makes zero sense!

  26. How about instead of just charges for filing a false police report that they also charge her for obstruction of justice? For every time she got pulled over and gave them a false name and birthdate.

  27. Man this story is something you couldn’t even write for Hollywood.

  28. This young man made statements that his mother has been drugging him and sexually molesting him. Why aren’t you guys reporting that?
