Made well , but conflicting feelings

Warning: Spoilers
Jan Broberg was one of the teachers and directors at my cities musical theater classes 2004ish. Because of this I knew she had been kidnapped as a kid , as I think it fueled her into the acting field and thats where she drew her emotion from . Now saying this , i knew she had put together funding and asked for help with a GoFundMe type thing to get this made to share her story ( but I think a book had been made long before ) and it was shown at multiple film festival and got a lot of attention . It is made well don't get me wrong , and it is sad that this happened and should never happen to any child and children are super impressional especially during the time frame this happened . But boy oh boy I don't think any of them realize just how stupid this makes their parents look . They both fell into temptation with this man and cheated , then continued to let the man into her life over and over and over . Then they got the case dropped against this man and continued to let him do things to their daughter because "they couldn't believe that something like this could happen " even with multiple instances of proof **cough cough marrying their daughter in Mexico cough cough ** These people are way beyond being adults and knew right from wrong . The FBI agent had to literally convince them that Jan had gotten kidnapped . She had been gone for 5 days with no word and had to be convinced by the government that she had been taken ... I mean come on ... Usually with kidnapping documentaries it is someone they don't know , they are working tirelessly to get their kid back and want to see the person either dead or in prison forever . These parents waited and waited to call the cops , it's like they wanted her gone , they got the case DROPPED because they didn't want their cheating to come out to the public , and they disregarded the FBIs advice of staying away from the man. If anything it's the parents fault 100000000%%%% and I hope they live with the guilt forever .
