Did none of her “parenting videos” even include footage of the kids? ---

Probably not. Not that I’d add any more views to her by suffering through any of them. ---

My best friend and I reported this to CPS, but faced two obstacles: one, we were minors ourselves (late teens), and two, the authorities needed _specifics_ that could be confirmed objectively before taking action. As it happened, we were able to supply names, dates, event, and even types of wounds on the kids. Before charging in to save the kids the authorities took them aside at school to interview them and also to confirm the wounds and scars (some quite extensive) we had described. I’m glad that they took our reports seriously enough to actually investigate further. > > How much of a follow-up was there after the kids were i-viewed at school? Or, more specifically, what came of their parent(s)? CPS definitely stepped in. There were medical exams of some sort that the mother was not informed about which really upset and angered her. I’m not aware of all the details, and some of them have gotten fuzzy over the decades, but the woman abruptly decided she had to move. This was in no small part to her oldest kid being placed with her grandmother (think that kid was ready and willing to turn on her monster of a mother). Her one mistake (from her viewpoint) was enlisting my best friend and I to help her do this. From the viewpoint of CPS she abruptly dropped off the map and, when my friend and I followed up, they said they couldn’t do anything because they couldn’t locate her. We said oh, we can help you with that and gave them her new address. Last I heard she lit out for Colorado with the two youngest of the three she had after which we just don’t know what happened to them. The eldest, though, wound up getting legally emancipated at 16 or 17 after being left behind at her grandmother’s. So… we got one of the kids out of the situation. Which wasn’t an entirely happy ending due to the psychological problems the girl had. This was back in the late 70’s when we didn’t have things like social media and it was a lot easier to drop out of sight. ---

I would not want to live in such a fucked up society. Yeah, I didn’t think this through. Heck, the kids could be off at camp or something. ---

Getting funding to modify the prison (or their procedures) is a slow process. Give them a year or three to find some experts connected to the governor’s brother to be given the job. ---

[J-Pop mega-agent Johnny Kitagawa apparently used his position to abuse hundreds of prospective and successful candidates over the years in much the same fashion as Harvey Weinstein.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66737052) Unfortunately, Johnny is deceased, so like Jimmy Savile, he has avoided real justice IMHO.
