The Nightmare Upstairs: What Happened to Ty and Bryn?
Darcy shares, “This story is complex and the adults in this family all did some really questionable things. I operate through a lens of believing children, so I watched this with the mindset that the father did, in fact, abuse his children. This documentary touches on parental alienation as well as ‘reunification therapy,’ which are two topics the court must grapple with. I am glad I watched it, but I feel like so many people–and the court–let these children down.”
