The daughter didn't know what was going on. The child has disabilities and the daughter may have thought her little sister was delusional. We have no way of knowing. People react to things in different ways. I know that I'm always perfectly calm in crises until they are over.......and then I freak out. Everybody else is always calmed down and THEN I'm losing it. We deal with things in a myriad of ways and just because someone doesn't react the way you think they should, that doesn't mean they care any less.

I feel horriable for the family I feel horriable for listening to this, How can they allow this to be played, I don't understand, the daughter should of had the right to choose if this was released. it was heartbreaking I cried and cried hearing these, It is my OPINION that these tapes should not of been released, The moment you find out your parents are dead, not knowing if your sisters and brothers are o.k., all on tape, all national news.
