16 Siders Kids: Was Their Mother The First One Broken?

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

Before Elizabeth Siders was a defendant, she was a fourteen-year-old carrying an eighteen-year-old's child. Before deputies found sixteen children in her house, a judge handed her over to the man who got her pregnant — with her parents' consent and the state's blessing. Her brother says she was "indoctrinated." He hadn't seen her in fifteen years. Now she faces sixteen felony counts, and the question this case can't escape is whether the first child failed inside that family was her.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott walks through the psychology of a woman shaped by control since childhood — what isolation from every outside relationship does to a person's grip on normalcy, whether someone raised inside distortion can recognize distortion, and what her attorney's account of her first question in jail (about her children, not her freedom) actually tells us.The conversation widens to the whole household: a husband running two realities daily, grandparents who anchored the arrangement, and a family system so sealed that investigators are now running DNA tests to map what "intrafamilial" really meant inside those walls. Scott doesn't excuse anyone. She explains how the machine worked.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
