neither person here is good and obviously Beverly was a terrible mother, but I feel as though Simon is underestimating how terrible of a mother Sabrina was. you can't not change a child all day! arguably, Beverly would have been right to contact protective services

Good Lord Simon is unbearably pro parents in this one. I get having an opinion, but usually he will at least pretend to get through the evidence without defending someone every step of the way. he didn't go over a single suspicious thing they did without making excuses for it. I don't know if I think they're guilty, but his constant excuses. just annoyed me
