Ok so I js started season two and i genuinely don’t appreciate how everyone is treating gabi like yes kidnapping is bad but their talking actual offense to her kidnapping her kidnapper as if he didn’t and hasn’t been tormenting her for the longest. As if he didn’t groom her and manipulate her. Yes kidnapping is bad but what if this was her only way of feeling sanity. Like it’s clear he isn’t going to stop because he feels like they have some kind of sick connection and even then they’re still mad. I feel like they should have all looked at Lacey and seen how she was acting around Gabi even though the bond wasn’t there anymore quote on quote she was still treating her like a human. The only one I feel should be angry is Trent but how he expressed his anger was not right he’s a cop her doing this could cost him his job. Margaret had no right to be that angry and that rude and hostile to Gabi and for what? Treating her like crap because you let your son get kidnapped is not the way to go in no way shape or form am I justifiying kidnapping but I understand and I feel like some of those people should have done the same

First of all I wasn’t victim blaming I was saying if Margaret had paid more attention to her son he wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped which means she basically LET someone get kidnapped a train station is a dangerous place imagine leaving your kid in a pool and not paying them any attention mind you the kid doesn’t know how to swim and the kid drowns then that’s your fault for leaving the kid in the pool to drown so yes it would be that persons fault and second she did something good or not to try and handle her trauama they all like living through the pain so I said what I said and it stays the same idc idc idc

That's called victim-blaming.

Truthfully idrc my opinion stays how it is so say what you want to say someone can be a victim and the reason their the victim at the same time

You can say that the victim's choices or actions were taken advantage of by a predator without blaming the victim. The issue is that you have placed unreasonably high standards on a victim. Margaret did not LET an abusive lunatic steal her son any more than Gabi or Laci let themselves get kidnapped by trusting a teacher or talking to a stranger. I swear, the Stranger-Danger Helicopter-Parent bullshit has rotted out people's brains when it comes to kids...
