- In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Michael and Melody Dixon.
We're a news agency committed to delivering factual information about police procedures and local news events. This video aims to educate the public without bias. Our goal is to empower viewers with a clear understanding of what's happening in their communities.
The saddest part was when Melody described being raped by other men and thinking what her father did wasn’t rape because he stopped when she said so. So sad. So very sad.
So sad. 9 years in prison? This child shiuld receive 9 years therapy.
100% agree…
@sashmo8, this has to be one of the most insane cases I've seen.... I honestly couldn't believe no one opted to have an Attorney present during questioning. John was the only one to at least plead the fifth on that one question. Btw, that's a beautiful kitty in your profile picture. ^_^🐈⬛♥
@karenc4354, I believe if Melody had an Attorney present she would be receiving mental health treatment instead of a prison term.... It's like another user commented, she was failed by everyone in her life.
Not only did she think it wasn’t rape, it was thought to be love. Horrifying.
@@karenc4354I agree I don’t think she shlda gotten jail time. He’s been molesting her for years and had a hold of her mentally. She needs years of therapy and help. Poor girl was put thru so much
Two dirty old men fighting over an extremely damaged, confused young girl, they have trapped by addiction and isolation. And not one single person, including Jim’s DAUGHTERS, said diddly squat to anyone who could intervene. SHAME on every single one of them. SHAME! SHAME!
I agree
Stuff like this happens all the time in those 'Bible-belt' states.
This!!!! Such a sad story 😞
@@kevinrodgers7275 u smoking what they smoking?
I think the daughters are the least to blame in this situation though
The way his family just said “his daughter/girlfriend” made me sick
Look UP the whitakers inbred docu... if this is part of the same family they seem to slowly get better😂
Wild and wonderful whites of west Virginia
@roybolder9480 , YOU clearly know NOTHING about the Whitaker family, & should be ashamed of yourself, lack of care, compassion, empathy, & total disregard for humanity as a whole-Which is so transparently evident in making any comparison between them, & these EVIL, drug afflicted, mentally deranged criminals.
The story of the Whitakers is beyond sad. They’re the direct result, & a prime example of the sins of their parents ( who were brother & sister, & the ongoing practice of incest among siblings in the most destitute area in the US.) The Whitakers aren’t criminals, but the complete opposite, as they take care of each other as family members living in a tiny cabin w/ only 1 small sectioned off bedroom for the sister, while the 2 male siblings & 1 male cousin sleep in the living room portion of this open floor plan that can’t be larger than 800 square feet at most. One of the males sadly passed some years back, resulting from a health issue directly related to his genetic predisposition, & the lack of available healthcare for those who reside in this enormous area of the US. He was buried on their 1.66 acres of land-I don’t even think that’s legal anymore, but they had no other option. The same is true of MANY STATES in the US, however, this area is akin to that of a 3rd world country! People are so foolishly tricked into believing all these govt funded resources of assistance exist for the millions who so desperately need them, ( ALSO MISTAKENLY believing it comes from their tax dollars, which it DOESN’T!) but it’s untrue, & more mainstream Americans are beginning to wake to this reality! They reside in an extremely remote area of the Appalachian Mountains ( Odd, West Virginia). The Whitaker family are a prime example of a completely impoverished Appalachian family w/ a host of health issues, genetic disorders, the lowest of the low IQ levels, 1 completely lacking the ability of speech aside from attempting to grumble a handful of words, which were mostly his family member’s names. They’re all completely disabled, have multiple health & genetic issues, are the direct result of their parent’s sibling incest practices, & aren’t to blame for their lives & life situations-They are VICTIMS who resulted from parents who were born of the same complete lack of education & knowledge. These people never attended school, nor were home schooled. These options were not available to them, & if they were, all generations suffered from & lived w/ similar genetic & health issues, in addition to the inability to teach & learn anything beyond attempting to provide their most basic living needs. Fortunately, none followed in their ancestral footsteps, & never attempted to bring children into the world, by means of incest or legally. It sounds horrible to say such a thing, however, it’s the most responsible thing they didn’t pursue. Thanks be to the man who sought them out, despite being warned not to b/c they’re alleged to be dangerous, which they’re not. This sparked a GoFundMe campaign for this family who SO DESPERATELY needed it! Millions of dollars weren’t raised, which they deserve, as they can’t function properly in society & are the victim offspring of their parents. Enough was raised for them to be able to purchase a vehicle, make repairs & improvements to their cabin ( nothing extravagant, but helpful to an extent), & to be able to buy food & some additional basic needs & essential items for living. They need & deserve further financial & healthcare assistance, & someone responsible to be assigned as an advocate & by profession, to handle their financial needs & affairs who wouldn’t illegally take advantage of such a situation. Roybolder, you really should do more research before spreading false similarities, & making such comparisons to the misfortunate Whitaker family, who are decent, despite their many challenges & obstacles they were born w/ & into, to these MONSTERS in this video. Scary & disgusting to say these malevolent creatures having a higher IQ level than the sum of the entire Whitaker family, yet this generation of Whitakers never chose to commit crimes & the most evil acts. Clearly the more “simple minded”, who never asked to be born this way, were created w/ the level of innocence & inability to commit evils these horrific others did, & the creator instilled the lack of knowledge & desire to continue to propagate their family tree, & their sufferings & misfortunes will end w/ this generation. In the future, should really think about all of this prior to posting such a comment of such ignorance, & shaming this innocent generation of Whitakers, &/or, anything equally as disgraceful. God doesn’t like UGLY!
@@roybolder9480 same name def not same family cuz that family is reallll messed up.
That's fucked up situation
Her life sentence started the day she was born. Melody getting 9 years is ridiculous. She was born into this world with sick, unfit parents & grandparents.
I think its better, she probably would receive years of counseling in the prison. Being free as of now is not good for her.
Her upbringing doesn't excuse her from facing the consequences of her involvement in a crime. Her situation is tragic, but she still did something illegal and has to face the punishment for it.
Most criminals do what they do because of messed up childhoods and living conditions. It doesn't make them immune from the law.
@@davidsoup1738 Except here the point OP was making wasn't that Melody should be immune from the law. I don't know how you have missed the part where justice acknowledges mitigating or extenuating sentences. These include: the defendant's age or mental state at the time of the crime, history of abusy or difficult personal circumstances, etc.
I think when you are being drugged up and abused by your own father, basically conditionning a teenager with an addictive reaction to sleeping with her dad, this would mayhaps fall into these categories?
The OP has valid reasons to put in question the sentence served by the justice department. You can debate on whether that was not enough, just right, or way too much, but assuming OP meant absolute immunity from the law because of mitigating circumstances is a ridiculously bad take.
@@Zedem0n Maybe you can read it that way, but the way I read this comment isn't "she should've gotten less time because of mitigating circumstances". I read it as "she shouldn't have been charged with anything because of her mitigating circumstances". I'll wait until the actual commenter decides to maybe explain it further.
I think that if you take my interpretation of the comment, my reply isn't a bad take whatsoever, in fact it's pretty much as milquetoast as it gets
@@davidsoup1738 I'm OK to suspend my previous opinion. My personal opinion is that Melody is clearly broken. She's barely 18 and it's revealed she was abused as early as 16, possibly even before that and she clearly fed her meth addiction through her father. She should get some sort of punishment, but I don't think 9 years in jail is really what she needs. I tend to favour rehabilitation rather than punishment, especially in her case. She should be given all that she needs to recover from those traumatic experiences, her meth addiction and the toxic incestuous relationship her father imposed on her. This whole situation screams taking advantage of her addiction and associating the relief of drug using to having s*x with her dad. It's revolting and I don't think anyone with any humanity whatsoever's first reaction should be "she shouldnt be immune from the law" when someone points out to these horrific mitigating circumstances.
I love that the detective took time to tell Melody it wasn’t her fault - she needed to hear that.
They don't mean that, it's just to keep her talking. They comfort everybody during interrogation, it's a strategy
Yea Im sure that one sentence will matter a lot while she replay's this convvo in her head for 9 years. Imbecile
@@ekids.bassment So you feel that a man getting his underage daughter hooked on meth so she would have sex with him *is* her fault? Or are you just that cynical that you belive a police officer would think that?
Oh yeah and i love when they gave her 9 years in prison. Lmao. She got totally screwed by every single person in her life just to be punished for it. She doesn't belong in prison, she belongs in therapy and a chance to finally have some autonomy about what happens to her in her life. Like somebody gets killed while trying to ra** her and just because she didn't tell the police she gets 9 years, but the grandfather also knowing about everything only gets 5 years probation. Its sickening.
@@1bullneck1yea she was groomed as a child by the only parent in her active life the grooming goes so deep.uts crazy I can't believe she was punished
I couldn’t believe Mike was only 41. He looks in his late 60’s to me. Poor Melody has the mentality of around a 8-10 year old.
Im sure thats what the meth did to him
@@nimblenutz6761 for sure meth
When kids are abused they become mentally stunted at that ago .
She's the only victim of all of this, they both were taking advantage of her on their meth binge

Lol. Moving on to orange pith.
Good point!
Poor girl doesnt need prison, she needs extreme mental help :( she was groomed and abused. That is so sad.
Yeah 50 minute video showed you that huh?
She's a fool and deserves more time than she got
@feliciabrofford4673 what do you mean? She was groomed and sexually abused by her father. He made it so her only support was him. She is hardly an adult and has spent her whole life being manipulated by that monster. Id love to hear why you think otherwise, though.
@@feliciabrofford4673imagine growing up with that as a father, probably in & out of foster care, and being sexually abused probably her whole life…she def needs treatment.
@@feliciabrofford4673she was a child who was fed drugs and manipulated and neglected by every adult in her life. you need your hard drive checked asap

Now she can think about how fucked her life is for 9 years of wasted time in prison. Isn't our justice system fantastic
Grandpa and grandma should be jailed too. A classic white hilly billy family🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢
not the neighbors
Good keep her there. Shes crazy @jbeezostl
@@ethanfleckenstein2334 at this point, yes, she should stay there but do you seriously not have any sympathy? she's 18 or 19 and clearly had a very fucked up life that she was brought into
That girl didn’t stand a chance. What a horrible upbringing
So gosh darn sad.
And yet she chose to go live with her father, and she used sex to get money from Jim.
That's capitalism baby! Be lucky or get good, social safety nets are communist
Don't underestimate people.
Sounds like her sister was able to escape this mess by calling Mike "nasty". Probably the only "adult" in this "family".
I went to school with Melody and had a few classes with her. I remember being devastated when I found out her verdict. It was clear by the way she acted her home life wasn’t good. I remember her coming in all the time saying how scared she was of her dad. I know what she did was not okay, but she needed so much help. She was betrayed by the one she was supposed to be able to trust. My heart breaks for her.
Why did no one report anything?
Right why didn't you help her
Troll
USA
Idgaf what her home life was like, she's a pos who helped cover up a murder and then bragged about it and still is while in prison. Not to mention is proud of the fact she's a daddy fucker.
Plenty of ppl have had bad upbringing and don't do this crap.
The grandma and grandpa both need to be in jail for allowing incessant sexual acts with a minor
Not for allowing it, for not alerting law enforcement.
Incestuous when men think that you're used and abused; they devalue one and think it's okay to use and abuse her too. I feel so sad for this dirty, young woman who looked so much older than her age.
How do you think Mike got that way?
Jim’s family, her family & the neighbors knew about it too. It wasn’t a secret & no one did anything. They’re all sick
Trump will make sure their freedoms are kept intact.
That “you also realize it wasn’t your fault” hit different. That detective is my favorite
I thought the same thing until they said they charged and convicted her for obstructing, simply because she was groomed and traumatized by her own monster father and didn't want to admit it. Fuck every single one of those detectives. Imagine being r@ped and groomed by your own father, and then getting sentenced to almost a decade in prison because you were too traumatized and groomed sexually to understand she was also a direct victim of this entire case, and then you're told "You realize it wasn't your fault, right?".........
He’s just getting her to talk. They gave her 9 years.
That was for obstruction - he was telling her that the sexual assault wasnt her fault @@rogerloess2379
@@rogerloess2379 for other reasons, what that detective was refering to was the abuse and grooming
she was 16 years old. not 6 years old. it was her fault. that detective was playing "Im a nice guy promote me" to cameras and u are naive
The fact that Melody got 9 years and Frank got time served is injustice. She was literally fed meth and assaulted her whole childhood
So? At least she's not dead.
@@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307 wtf do you mean "so?" she was tortured from birth to her arrest, that's an extremely, heavily traumatizing upbringing
@@CobaltoadWhat a horrible life she led. Why would they give her jail time, and not psychiatric help. She needed help. HE needed more jail time!
@@RonnieKilroy she committed a crime though
@@TheSMR1969 which crime?
Can melody get a re trial this is ridiculously unfair on the poor girl who had 0 chance in life with a family like that.
yep we should make a plea or something, is so unfair what this girl went trought :(
She was sentenced 9 but it being a non violent offense and with the mitigating circumstances, she will most likely be out on parole within 2 years, if not 18 months, as long as she keeps her nose clean in prison. Whether that will be possible for her is another story, depends on where she is sentenced to serve and the facilities there for mental health advocacy. But the woman does need some therapy for sure to unpack all she suffered through. But if she's still professing to her fellow inmates her love for her father, my hopes aren't high

Maybe to you and me but perfectly normal in the southern states....have you seen the whitakers...the inbred fam?
@@jasmine6910I agree but it does sound like someone reported it to CPS and she got taken to foster care until she aged out at 18. So they did say something but no one protected her after she was an “”adult””!!!!!
Look where they live. Shit like this has happened since forever. Truly f-ed up. Sh*t like this is probably happening this very moment where you live. Sucks.
Yes it is illegal. Clearly didn’t stop these people though.
Her father is disgusting!! She had been sexually abused all her life, and she thought what her dad did was loving compared to other rapists. Instead he abused her the most. Cause he was supposed to protect her!! What a cesspool he is!! Poor Melody.
And they sentenced her to 9 years on top of all that!

Poor Melody, being abused by old meth heads since birth, groomed by her father and sent to jail.
She had no chance for a normal life, justice was not served here.
I felt so bad for her at the end, ridiculous she got 9 years in prison. She's 18, barely an "adult" and has been groomed and abused her whole life. Poor girl should've been let free, much less 9 years in prison because her family is evil.
Absolutely. Girl needs truckloads of therapy and psychiatric help and a ticket far away from that sad despicable place. Just surrounded by awful people and drugs. Life isn't easy, but being born into that life is something else.
I literally said Holy Shit, when I heard 9 years for obstruction. That's overkill. She should have been sentenced to a rehabilitation facility and given counseling. She was obviously in fear for her life when questioned by police during the initial encounter, seeing as a murdering rapist was within arms reach of her during those first interactions.
@@constantine6202 yet if that happened to a male none of yall would be so lenient
@@jimreckson8484 Olympic level jumping to conclusions. Why would your mind even go here if you yourself would think this about women? Because it never came to my mind that it mattered if this was a man or woman who was abused and groomed. Abuse is abuse.
Melody getting 9 years for ultimately being a victim of her father is far from justice. She deserved mental health treatment from the abuse she took.
I was so surprised too, she had no idea about anything that was going on and thought it was normal and scared, it makes no sense at all why she got 9 years what the hell...
She was complicit
She should be set free and given much psychological help
She is 18, an adult now.
she are getting that in jail, no doubt.
The part beginning with "do you also realize it wasn't your fault?" brought me straight to tears. A commendable gentleman, that detective.
Hearing someone acknowledge that it was not your fault is a very powerful experience for an SA victim.
She was a victim yet got 9 years, the system is so broken
Her comment at the end, “When I would tell my dad no he would stop and respect that so I thought it was okay” 😢
hahaha what about the detective that told her " give him a kiss" when they were both in handcuffs at the scene walkthru hahahahahaha
Yes
When she asked “Do you have a recording of him saying?” She’s so scared of getting herself or her dad in trouble and she’s scared of telling and not getting help, getting sent right back to him.
Melody getting 9 years is absolute insanity.
She was raped by her father from the age of 16, possibly prior, hooked on meth by him, and continued to be raped by him for years. He was a violent man, as was Jimmy, from the accounts of the witness who said they were constantly threatening to kill each other.
Melody was also being sexually exploited by Jimmy, paying a young women who had been raped for years for sex is totally disgusting.
It sounds like Jimmy got what he deserved, and her Father did as well.
Melody and Jimmy's family are the losers here.

That's what I thought too. You know she has no idea dad's don't do this to their daughters or didn't know for a long time. I can't imagine my dad ever even yelling at me. The 1 man on this earth I'm positive would never abuse me, truly loves me unconditionally & I can absolutely trust with my life is my dad. We're supposed to be our dad's little princess not their spouse. This poor girl. This is horrible.
The grandparents should have gone to prison for accessory to child sexual abuse too
THANK YOU 😢
The truth!
I understand the sentiment. But that wouldn't help the situation. This family is already choking in poverty. What everyone needs is help, and a lot of it.
@icemachine79 I understand what you're saying but it's this way of thinking that's allowed any and everyone that might could've made a difference in that girl's life and who knows maybe Jim still alive as well..
Everyone just kept turning a blind eye because if they didn't see it. It wasn't really happening.
Look where this ended up that girl will never be a productive member of society, ever. No matter how good of help of rehab, counciling, I mean nothing she does well her to be normal. She just like everyone else in this family are a lost cause.
All we can do is pray for her. 🙏

When I said no to my dad, he respected that.” (Not a direct quote but you get it.)
That SCREAMS volumes. That poor girl has been assaulted for years, probably her whole life. They need to investigate that as well, who took this girls innocence? So much so, that she felt the SAFEST person to have an intimate relationship with was her own father, who was taking advantage of her in the worst way of all the whole time.

Its just the fact everyone seemed to know that not only did her dad supply her with meth/ got her addicted, but he also started abusing her at age 16, and when she grew out of foster care- no one stepped in to help her. Not her mom, family, friends, no one. She was just left to go back to her father. I feel sick just hearing her talk about how her dad would stop when she said no, as if that’s any better? As if that shows how loving or nice he is compared to her other abusers. God I hope she’s healing alright, none of this was her fault. Its so sad that she even feels like any of this was her fault, and the fact she cared more about her dad than herself? Ugh, this world is horrible
If she was in foster care, she had enough resources to get the state to continue to help her once she was out on her own. I have cousins that were in her exact situation and they are successful women now.
Stockholm syndrome is a bitch. Also, once she's 18, she is legally allowed to do what she wants, including ruining her life. He's the creep, and he got what he deserved for preying upon HIS OWN DAUGHTER!

They didn’t intervene when she was a kid, so obviously as an adult she rightfully thinks they don’t care about her and she only has her abusive father to feel safe & at home with. Like they did not give a fuck about her so much as a kid, that not only was her dad taking advantage of her, but MULTIPLE OTHER MEN. How could anyone allow a child to get assaulted by MULTIPLE people? All she’s ever known was being taken advantage of, and her so called “family” turned their backs to a child going through irreversible trauma. I even think they blame her for being sexually abused instead of the pedos and predators. Also brother, your comment is the same mentality of all those low lives who allowed a kid to be in that horrible circumstance. Like its SO bad she started living with her dad because he was probably the only person that told her things she needed to hear: that shes loved, pretty, and someone who others want to be around. So she only trusted him enough to keep her safe & make her feel loved; when he was the same person who made her an accomplice to murder, used her as an excuse to kill a man, gave her meth at when she was a kid, abused her in that altered state of mind, & brainwashed her to think that its not only okay but theyre in love & everyone else is the problem. I don’t blame her for any of this, and I think she’s a victim who deserves the biggest apology because the system, her family, & her community failed her horribly
That's not something you heal from.
Nine years in prison for a girl little more than a child, who had been sexually abuse for years. What kind of justice is this. Where is her justice for the deep wrongs that have been done to her. What a disgraceful corruption that someone so damaged should be treated so. One can only hope that there are social workers and lawyers working on her behalf Though one realizes this is probably a vain hope, so sad.

This is literally the Hills have eyes.
Truth is what if the father had the same deal done to him? Im not disagreeing with you that some people who cause trauma dont have trauma of their own. But how far back do we go? If the father has issues from someone do we give him a free pass, what about the one who might have messed with the father? Its endless. And it sucks.

That poor girl needed help, not prison time. She was basically brainwashed, groomed, or gaslit into her actions, like a stockholm syndrome type thing. She was not competent enough to be responsible for her actions.
While it sounds like Jim wanted to forcefully kidnap her, her father had basically kidnapped her using mental manipulation since she was a child, and the incident here was a fight between two predators. The victim should have been better protected.
Prisons are partly rehabilitation facilities in U.S. (in other western countries this philosophy is fully supported and lived). That's what she will get: reha and punishment for helping someone cover up a murder. We expect most prisoners to merge with society again and not fall back to commit crimes.
That's why it's so important that the U.S. goes back to more support in prisons, they cut it the past decade down to reduce costs.

Well, yes and no. She's so far gone it can be considered a usual triangle murder. Yes there was incest and there was rape, but that's why she was placed in foster care in the first place. Despite what peoplemight say - this situation of "at home incest sex slavery" isn't normal , and had she asked for help normal people would have provided her help, even just strangers on the street. She made the choice to return, then she made the choice to participate in the story, as an adult, she chose to lie to other adults which could have helped her from the start. It sounds unfair, but you also have to think of the society and of the example releasing "passion" incestual criminals JUST because they're incestual? Where do we stop? Do we release the psychopaths because it's their brain which is making them commit crimes?
It's not responsible and belittles everyone else in similar situations who had made the right choice.
Edit: I'm more upset with the police not prosecuting every single individual there, because it was an obvious enabling environment and I bet their granddad/mother are habitual incestual rapists as well.
I'm sure that in a decade we'll learn about the whole story from a DSM - 6 or from a Cambridge Handbook of Criminology, like the story of incestual rapist clan of 150-some people in Australian outback.

My heart breaks for Melody. Did all those men need to be in the room, her shackled, while she recounts years of horrifying sexual abuse? While I appreciate the detective telling her it wasn't her fault, I truly believe these types of defendants need to be handled with more consideration. Maybe a female detective and a trauma counselor? I, at 18, can't imagine telling a room full of men, while shackled, what was done to me as a child. It's horrifying. Her father's family is evil.
You're so right.
I do agree in theory, but it's never able to be guaranteed in practice. They have to protect themselves as well as her. Some abused kids are so twisted that they'll do anything to protect their abuser and try to get back to them. If there were fewer people in the room and she was still thinking her dad was right, she could accuse the interviewer of anything or become physically abusive herself if she felt cornered. Law enforcement is still a very male-heavy work environment, so there's no guarantee that there will be a female detective, let alone one who is trained to deal with this level of manipulation and abuse of this nature and longevity. With trauma this bad and deeply ingrained, you need someone who knows what they're doing. The wrong word or suggestion could traumatise further. I think that in an ideal world, it would be a female if that made Melody more comfortable, (they may even have asked - some women are more comfortable around men) but in reality, we should be glad that we have men and/or women with the strength to help people navigate the fucked up things they're manipulated into....be glad and aim for better in the future.
Female officers aren't always available. When they asked for picture evidence I asked for a female and they had to take me to the firehouse because they didn't have one. They still could have taken a better approach I'm just saying unfortunately it needs to be an officer, and unfortunately not many females in law enforcement
Most folk don’t have tact. Neither the scruples necessary to see that and allow whoever the space to talk comfortably and privately. The average individual only pretends to have tact and scruples, by way of saying and doing niceties that’s meant to have them appear in a certain light.
Yes. She’s 18 but that’s still a child, in my opinion.
Cop tells Melody, "It's not your fault". She gets 9 years in prison- That's wrong.
The video hints at it, but she was present when Withekers body was dismembered and burned. She actually physically helped to move that body around.
Not her fault that her dad was abusing her ….
The people, including her dad, raping her was not her fault. Lying and helping to hide a body is what got her 9 years.
just because you feel or maybe is forced to have sex with your father, doesnt make it okay to help remove a dead body.
@@Kaisarfire They had her on meth, and it didn't appear that she was in her right mind- But it's done-Just my opinion.
"He had a 50lb bag of dog food, a live dog, a chainsaw, five arrows, and then he grabbed a pair of gloves". How many hands does this man have??
I'm sorry but I laughed out loud imagining that like a cartoon 😂😂
Hahahahaha
As much as I sympathize for the poor woman, I'll believe this story is real only when these channels start releasing videos of more br0wn people that commit similar krimes. Otherwise, this is all make-believe.
@@swind2553😂 lmao get yo racist ahh off the internet you can literally look this case up
the dog was off the lead and the arrows were in a holster
Scarry that that guy thinks 2 people beating the crap out of each other is a typical old married couple.
I feel so sorry for Melody. I’m sure she’s been groomed her whole life and the fact that she said she can only talk to her grandpa is so sad. Family should protect children.
Her grandpa probably wasn't any better
He’s a predator too.
He definitely abused her too 😢
