00:00 from Mike Jost at Cinema Blend. Watching this documentary, there's an incredible amount of
00:05 times when family or professionals could have stepped in and removed you from your mother's
00:09 care. In your opinion, do you have any insight as to why that never happened?
00:14 You know, I think a big part of it was there was people that had suspicions, family included,
00:23 but nobody just wants to rock the boat, you know, so it wasn't brought up to other people,
00:29 it wasn't talked about. So people kind of kept their suspicions to themselves just for fear of
00:35 upsetting my mom and her ultimately pushing them away as friends or whatnot. So I think that
00:43 on the professional standpoint, I think that for those doctors that did have suspicions,
00:51 I think it all has to do with money, honestly, and that's just my, that's my opinion about it.
00:55 You know, they were making money off of me. And so I think that in their profession,
01:01 I think that that came first. I remember Gypsy, we had discussed that CPS came to your house at
01:09 one point. Remind me about that. Yeah. Tell us about that. They did come to my house. And
01:18 basically, they were asking me the wrong questions. So they were looking, they're like,
01:22 show me your arm, show me your legs. And they were checking for bruises. And at that point,
01:27 my mom never hit me. They wasn't asking the right questions to me.
01:32 Yeah. So nothing was ever, ever done, nothing like there was no follow up report or anything.
01:40 They came the one time, and then they closed the file. And if I recall from our conversation,
01:47 this happened in the Habitat for Humanity house on Volunteer Way. Is that my memories? Right? Yeah.
01:54 One thing that if I recall, this is just my memory. I think after that incident, when CPS came,
02:00 believe you were telling me your mom became more paranoid about strangers and put garbage bags over
02:08 the windows. Right, right. Tell us about that. She became like increasingly more paranoid after
02:15 that visit from CPS. And she actually went as far as to remove the doorbell on the door.
02:21 Because she was just so paranoid about them coming back.
