WTF did I just watch?!!!
Kendra Licari is a complete psychopath!

Has anyone else watched it?

Or was it really her daughter and she was taking the blame for her ?

That poor girl is badly abused and brainwashed that she cannot stop herself from wanting to be in her mothers life.

I felt so uncomfortable the way she was clinging to her daughter when the police officer came with the search warrant.

I think the school superintendent was right … she has a form of Munchausen’s.

Absolutely this, vile evil woman

TheaBrandt1 · 05/09/2025 21:42

The “we’ve all broken the law” thing. Err no love thats just you.

Monstrous. Hope the daughter and father go zero contact. Who would want the freak in their lives?

She is in contact with her.
She is in college I believe according to TIKtok.

But honesty rules etc aside. I dont think she shouldve been able to make certain calls regarding this.

Yes i definitely agree with you there.

MidnightPatrol · 05/09/2025 21:31

The only part more shocking than that it happened… is that she is then trying to justify it (!).

Why on earth has she agreed to partake in the documentary… it suggests she doesn’t really see how serious what she’s done it.

The thing is Lauryn must be about 17/18 now it would be up to her if she wants to be in contact with Kendra .

And they documented.

Legally she should be on a register, still in jail and forbidden from.ever having contact with her daughter who should be forced to undergo serious help.

But it is what it is.

I think her peadophile behaviour was minimised in the documentary. She was clearly obsessed with Owen, who was just a young boy. The texts she sent were absolutely disgusting and obscene.

Her sentence is a joke. She should be on the sex offenders register.

Show quote history

Is there a sex offenders register in America?
I agree she should be on it if there is one..

Dinosaurshoebox · 05/09/2025 21:24

Plastictreees · 05/09/2025 21:20

I see your point but I still think she got off too lightly. In the documentary, and also legally.

I disagree. Their lack of input was perfect.

It gave her enough rope.

They just had to let her talk and then let the public talk. I learnt of this from TikTok. How many threads are on here?

Challenging her would've changed everything.

This is another very good point. How can she use the excuse of wanting to protect her daughter when she contacted his new girlfriend’s mum too?!

Show quote history

It was just an excuse I think she was besotted with owen ( which makes me feel sick) and was jealous of Lauryn and then the new girlfriend?.

Dinosaurshoebox · 05/09/2025 21:19

Plastictreees · 05/09/2025 21:17

The documentary makers should have called her out on this, rather than pandering to her. At one point they actually tried suggesting to her that she thought she was messaging herself?! She got off far too lightly. She knew exactly what she was doing. Telling her own daughter to kill herself is unforgivable.

KaitlynnFairchild · 05/09/2025 21:09

I was disgusted watching this absolutely insane!

I actually think she wanted her daughter to kill herself in the hope that she and Owen could “bond in their grief” it would bring them closer together.

She is horrific.

Kazziek · 05/09/2025 21:07

Co-incidentally just finished watching it. Utterly stunned that anyone could do that to their own child! All those sexualised messages, the abuse and taunts to kill herself. And then the mother equates it to a bit of speeding or something!

I'm amazed that any contact is permitted, given the manipulative nature of the emails shown towards the end. That poor kid - and her friends

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 05/09/2025 21:07

I have read about this, but not watched it so I don’t know if it has been covered on the programme, but Kendra knew that the accused girl was on holiday and had had her phone taken off her, so how did Kendra know? She texted her daughter about it before they had got back from holiday I thought?

I agree. I had to turn it off when she started talking about her own early life. All excuses.

Yes I agree Owwn was about 12 when it began and he looked 12 ,she was totally obsessed with him her explanation made no sense and then she also ruined his second relationship.

Textbook narcissist/cluster B abusive parent. Never take accountability or acknowledge reality. If they aren't actively blaming their victim it's 'well, sorry I wasn't PERFECT...'

Show quote history

Absolutely. Even having the brass nerve to be filmed for the documentary is part of the narcissism. She did something so awful and then got her limelight out of it, crying on camera and talking about what an awful time she’d had when younger and STILL doing the ‘caring mum’ routine after all the things she had said to her daughter?? Fucking shocking.

I thought her cousin had the measure of her and why she did it.

The cousin said that if she was being interviewed and L was in the background, she would be dancing to get the attention. What a nutter. She did it all for the attention and couldn't stand her daughter being much prettier than her and wanted to bring her down.

InNewYorkNoShoes · 05/09/2025 20:14

Did she send the original texts or didn’t she? I am not soo sure.

She said she didn't but I dint think anyone beleive, s that.

GreenFlag · 05/09/2025 20:51

I guessed it was her mother sending the texts early on.

I can’t get over how lightly she got off. Imagine if it was the dad sending these messages to a girl.

Dinosaurshoebox · 05/09/2025 20:50

I dont believe the mother was raped.
She's saying what she knows will get her the most sympathy.
