Sisters decided to get rid of their unemployed mother who leads an immoral lifestyle 

Their mother wasn't big loss for humanity. Certainly their father is equally to blame for not alerting authorities.

Irl one sister became a scientist, the other got married, had children, passed the bar exam and became a lawyer. I’d say it all worked out and this was a rare instance of a successful rehabilitation process

I blame the family they gaslighted the girls in thinking it was just life the mom wanted to go I believe and the daughters rescued themselves from unstable abusive household

The sad thing is that there are families out there going through this exact same experience. It makes you appreciate what you have. I'm so glad I never had a drug or alcohol problem and no kids. I learned when I was a teenager that I didn't have the patience for kids, let alone the life long responsibility. No regrets, even at 62

I don't blame the girls or the mom... the blame the Family Court who gave Linda the custody of the children...

It's so sad. They deserved to have a better mom. No one could blame the girls. They were living in constant fear

One became a scientist, the other a lawyer. Personally, I think they could see the boyfriend would become even more violent with the little brother, and their Aunt and Father didn’t care, or were willfully blind. What options are you left with as a kid, when adults don’t care, no one listens, and you are scared you and your sister will be SA, and your baby brother will be violently abused, while your apathetic addict of a mother, does nothing. I don’t blame the girls, or the other two, but I do blame the mother, and the other adults. I am happy the young ladies are free, living a good life.

That mother was not worth the ten years from their life. All their relatives including their dad that watch them going through hell and did nothing should be charged with negligence and the social worker and teachers that didn’t step to help should be charged of not doing their job. They all waited a crime to take place. That mother wasn’t worth a day in prison.

I’m glad they still went to uni and succeeded.

I'm against taking a life but the mother had already given up on life hence I don't blame the girls. All of this drama could have been avoided if they didn't involve the outsiders and kept their mouth shut.

I obvs don´t condone mvrder but it´s heart breaking and exasperating how neither their dad, the State or their family members cared enough to keep them and their little brother safe from their neglectful abusive mother and her p43do bfs.

I blame the father, extended family and Childrens Aid. If any of them intervened, all this could have been avoided.

All this could have been avoided if the dad had sole custody

This was a really well told, but heartbreaking story.

this is crazy cause, they asked for help. the mom abused them by being neglectful but everyone remembers only the good on her. they saved their brother but ppl only remember the bad in them

That mother gave them the worst start in life but at least they made something of themselves in spite or maybe because of it.

I saw this movie, I thought it was pretty good.

11:54 nothing is forever! How do you pull off the crime and brag about it for popularity points? This brings young & dumb to a whole new level! I guarantee you someone will always talk If not, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them writes a book! Gotta get that bread!

Their dad was as cowardly as their alcoholic mom. He could literally get custody on the girls testimonies alone.

I never heard of this movie but I love Georgie Henley from the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Abigail Bresslin from Zombieland.

These girls just want to save theme self and their brother ten years was much for them

Is that Lucy from Narnia!?😃

Linda reminds me of deedee blanchard.

Whenever i see things like this i always wonder why go through and risk and trouble of killing another person? The girls could have staged an accident like domestic violence and blame it on the mother, the court will find she was drunk the entire time and the girls would be free, but maybe the siblings will be separated.

They walked in on the mom having sex in the living area.

people on the comment section feeling sorry for the sisters. if you watched the movie you will know they didn't exactly make awesome decisions themselves. and i agree with the judge. many other people in worse conditions in their lives and they never resorted to murder. don't feel sorry for them one bit

The kids should have received ab award.

2 sisters conspire to murder their drunk unemployed and neglectful single mother.

This was based on a true story.

I’ve always had a crush on Abigail Breslin

Narnia idn't what it used to be.

I don't blame them or their mother, I blame their father and every other family members.

Geez I am.fully against murder as I believe its Unforgivable but literally no one stopped to help them not even child services when thats their job. Their family just let them get abused so its no wonder they acted that way. Because its common for kids or sposues to be in abusive situation where they need help but no one will believe them. So they kill to put an end to their suffering

4:05 B******* that he can't do anything.The fact that he believes what is happening is like.Oh well, I can't really do.Anything it's complete or bullshit I know this because I watch one of my friends go through this with her Mom's new boyfriend doing this. Her dad stepped up and took her to court. He was able to get sole custody because of not only her not having a job and having a revolving door a boyfriend who tried to sexually molest her daughter.

This film doesn't make sense abeg. How do you kill someone and start announcing it?

I’m sorry but I don’t understand killing your mother just because she refuses to parent well. I mean run away, go live with a relative, which they ended up doing something but NO NOT murder… that’s crazy… even if you feel that it’s your only way towards a better life DO not murder … it’s not like this was a self defense case or anything

Life!? Okay. Mother not doing nothing to support her children! So!!! What her daughters should have done there is find an after school job. Whichever sister has the job should be the one to support her sibiling. I know for sure that it should be the older girl. Because she's 18 years old.

They are worse than their mom…
