This video shows the Hart family, in their home environment, at around 1:30 minutes, into the video.
[FONT=&]The band wanted to capture the family in their natural element. Price wrote she "had never met a family like this...They did not have TV, they did not use cell phone, they did not have technology in ways like children are glued. Instead their home was filled with books, musical instruments, artistic equipment like paint and crayons and markers and huge construction paper for art projects, their yard was open and a large part of it was a garden."[/FONT]
Once upon a time, I worked at a daycare that was presented like this. Art, gardening, music, organic foods, etc. On the surface, it looked like such an amazing place but I began to witness the director being very abusive to the children. She was a monster and would get in their faces and call them stupid and liars. Other workers told me about witnessing children being physically grabbed. I quit but not before letting every parent know what was going on and reporting the place to cps and the board of licensing. That was my lesson that you never know what lurks under the surface of perfect appearances.
I am really starting to wonder if the women were angry at the three who are still missing because they blamed them for CPS coming to their door and did something over the top to punish them. Maybe they did leave them in some isolated area to scare them and eventually one or both of the women realized they were in too deep and decided to be like Thema and Lousie and drive over the cliff together.
