In July 1965, teenagers Sylvia and Jenny Likens were left in the temporary care of Gertrude Baniszewski, a middle-aged single mother, and her seven children. The Baniszewski household was overrun with children. There were few rules and ample freedom. Sadly, the environment created a dangerous hierarchy of social Darwinism where the strong preyed on the weak. What transpired in the following three months was both riveting and chilling.

Very plausible and realistic chain of events.

A truly sad story but nevertheless understandable how something could get so out of control like that but to see it in black and white really heartbreaking. A good read nonetheless.

Nathan doesn't clearly assert with proof that Sybil (Shirley Mason) was NOT abused. Either she was or she wasn't. IF she was abused by her mother, then it is likely she could have very well had psychiatric issues, including multiples which required medication. Is Nathan asserting that Sybil (Shirley Mason) wasn't abused, and just had Pernicious Anemia or both? Nathan is quite the skeptic, but doesn't have adequate proof. She tries so hard to disprove Dr. Wilbur, that she overlooks that Sybil (Shirley Mason's) story could have very well been true, especailly as Shirley herself has said as much . We know Hollywood embellishes things, but I cannot believe the Sybil story was an out and out lie, based on the evidence Nathan presents which is mostly hearsay, third party and her personal interpretation of therapy session/notes.
In the end, she comes across as challenging Sybil (Shirley Mason)'s memories as no more than drug induced delusions, and that her main issue was her relationship with her Psychiatrist, Dr. Wilbur; however, she doesn't mention the actual Pediatrician's records or Sybil's mother's true mental health issues (not just physical). Nathan says things such as "how do we know?" (Instead of proving her theories).
It was a good read, but I am not convinced by Nathan's point of view that there wasn't real validity to Sybil (Shirley Mason's) story.
