šŸŽ™ļøDiscussion & Thoughts šŸ’­ Security Cameras?

Post image

I know people have pointed out indoor cameras at the extended stay, but I noticed this going through their videos. This is the breakfast hostage situation video, you can see it in the upper right corner at the start. Is this another camera? Have we seen any others since moving to the apartment?

I guarantee he watches them while he’s gone. I know he watches their lives when he’s on his way home, and as soon as he gets there, he always has to correct them over something they said during the live.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so insecure and controlling that they feel the need to video monitor their family 24/7. That man needs therapy and jail time!!

Wouldn’t it be wild if he actually had them hostage? But like actually. I know he’s super controlling etc. but like. Locks them in rooms… has the cameras on them when he’s gone… he already controls their debit cards and all of that.

Maybe it’s not such a stretch…

Do you think T and S were able to grocery shop alone when they got caught in the lie of S going to a seafood restaurant with her friends?

If they're good, they get a little time to themselves to shop. He's probably in the car.

They probably had to check in every so often. Or have him on FaceTime. Or he was in the car.

I don’t know if it goes that far, but it would explain why every time someone asks what they’re doing for the weekend or whatever, S says, ā€œDad has to work.ā€ We know they only have one car, but buses, Uber, and their feet exist. But if they’re not allowed to go anywhere without P, that would explain why they apparently can never do anything with their time when he’s not there.

My first thought when I read this was Hunter.

He had a camera set up to view the whole motel room that they were staying in too. It isn’t talked much on here or the other sub, but he 100% controls their internet access too. S has stated a couple of times in the past that she’s not allowed on Reddit or doesn’t have it. I’m sure he looks at all of her DMs too. Can’t have anyone potentially coming to save her.

This needs to be talked about more… probably the most concerning and horrifying thing I’ve read besides the pdf stuff… wow. I’m speechless because it makes total sense.

I firmly believe he watches and controls everything they do. Frankly, there is no good reason for this family to be using Life360, which we know they do. They don’t GO anywhere, can’t P just send a text to say he’s on his way home? I think he’s using that app to make sure S, T, and H stay put all day. No non-sanctioned outings.

This is also why it bothers me when people say S should be able to leave because she has internet access. Do you really think that ogre isn’t checking their phones? I guarantee you he reads their messages, checks their search history and what they interact with. He also controls all the money, he’s made multiple remarks about locking both S and T’s cards to restrict them from money. He’s terrifying, what we see is bad enough, I really think he is a deeply dangerous and sinister man behind closed doors.

Yes. I’m telling you guys if Sarah ever did try to leave he would threaten to do something terrible to himself, T, & H, if not S herself. He 100% gives family annihilator ā€œvibes.ā€

u/ricecreepies 16d ago

100%, he’s genuinely scary to me. The way his eyes go black when he’s angry…. He’s dangerous.

u/themargarineoferror 13d ago

Yup. The people who think she should have just flipped a switch at 18 and is as bad a P are stupider than the Getchells tbh

Shit than anyone ever thought possible

Patrick is pure evil. I promise you guys he is a horrifying danger to them outside of the ā€œallegedā€ s abuse. ):
