You have it right on the money. In the FBI Interview the agent tells George how delusional Cindy's perceptions of KC are, that she thought she had a deep desire to present herself (Cindy) as having been a good mother. Did anyone notice that?
I have thought a lot about why they are protecting her and it really has very little to do KC. Cindy even admitted to Yuri she couldn't care less what happens to KC and George admitted in his interview, "I know my daughter is going away for a long time", what they are clinging to is how people perceive them as to be bad people/bad parents who created a monster. It is no wonder why she has a moral compass that is thrown way off into the ditch! This is a classic reaction of a parent of an accused murderer, no not my child, I raised them right!
