their showing this docu again on HBO


i saw this docu a few yrs back & NEVER could get little robert out of my mind~ matter of fact i was just thinking the other day about him & how he is doing in life~ if the docu was made in 1999-2000, that would make robert about 15 today~ i was so touched by this show & tormented about how the grandmonster treated these kids, especially poor robert~ i do think most of his "problems" were made up by her and/or her fault~ she was absolutely nuts~ she is so mentally unstable, i can't see why anyone would want her around, let alone raising children, she seemed to want to just drug robert up for even the slightest thing~ she made her daughter robana out to be incompetent, when i truly believe besides robana's rape, emma(grandmonster) is also responsible for her problems as well~ i was glad to see the kids back living w/ their mother at the end & hope they continue to do so~ they seemed so much more happy & well rounded with her~ does anyone have an update on them?, is grandmonster still around?~ & not to seem snotty at all, but the deplorable conditions these kids were living in made me sick~ not meaning that living in the country or outskirts of town is bad, or living in a trailer, but haven't they heard of cleaning up?~ it just seemed unsafe is all i'm trying to say~
