How A Family Secret Became A Netflix Nightmare - The Unknown Number Story

Video Overview & Insights

She thought a stranger was tormenting her online. The messages were cruel, relentless… and terrifying. But when police uncovered the truth, they discovered the bully lived under the same roof — her own mother.

SICK

I have waited years for this story to be told. What a god awful person she is. Her daughter stood by her for some time! Loyalty or not fully being able to comprehend what had happened! How sick must one parent be?

That poor little girl.. If she didn't have a real bully then she most definitely has some now.. I hope the dad takes her far away from her mother..

I’m about half way through this and I cannot stop thinking WHY didn’t she get a new phone number or block the person.

It seemed from the documentary that the other victims think Laura was involved as they all said they want nothing to do with her even after her mother gets arrested

I never would've guessed by looking at this mom that she would do what she did. She looks perpetually confused.

You have your lil precious baby helper with you...how sweet
Crazy crazy case ...what an insane mom to do such a diabolical thing to her own daughter...this poor teen was on the verge of wanting to take her life and yet you continued with your idiotic plan ...you could have done so much damage and thankfully the law figured it out it before it could have gotten tragic

There are too many moms like this and we need to bring more attention to it because they make their daughters feel so awful and trap/isolate them in a trauma bond! Girls growing up now need to know how wrong and inappropriate this behavior is. They make the kid feel like everything is their fault when it's the opposite.

I was just listening to this and thought I’m sure I can hear a little baby and then I looked at the screen aww absolutely beautiful and content! Thanks for the video Emma 👏

I do think Lauren will build a relationship with her mum again. My mum has paranoid schizophrenia and the things she did to me were horrific but now im an adult she can’t hurt me anymore and so i was able to build a relationship with her. I had to accept she was sick and so that helped me move on. I think its natural that no matter what the kids go through they have this attachment to their mum/dad. Whether toxic or not

Thanks for anoyher really informed video whilst also being respectful to Lauren. Please can you do a video on the Ariana Grande terrorist attack and looking into the brothers extremists Salman Abedi, Hashem Abedi. I can't get my head round it at all!

@bethanyransom2154

Kendra doesn't deserve her daughter's love. I dont think it will ever be the same, I hope lorna never forgives her. So many teenagers get bullied and commit suicide, which is horrible. Kendra is sooo lucky that her daughter didnt go that far, with all those horrid txts she sent her. Love seeing Ella- gray, beautiful name ❤xxx

@HelenClatworthy

The abuse i experienced was not this overt and i still am not gonna rebuild with my mother. I hope lauren has a peaceful happy life. I loved meeting your assistant. Absolutely gorgeous child for a lovely mother 🫶🏻

Why I can’t understand get rid of her phone ? Can’t contact her then

@ceripoole5699

Has soon has you told the story I knew it was her mother !!!!

@ceripoole5699
@

I watched it on tv Emma I nearly fell through the floor when the detective said KENDRA my bet is she behaved like this long before she met her husband no excuse for her hateful sick twisted behaviour anyway another great presentation and 10/10 for your content ❤️

@maggiemay6625
@

What would she have done if her daughter actually did commit suicide? What the fuck would she have done? I cant even imagine. Not to mention the fact she lost 2 jobs to send messages full time....and lied to her husband about it.

@SandraPokorneyCmonDude
@

No one else sent the first messages. Kendra, we know is a pathological liar. The FBI confirmed the messages began and ended with Mommie Dearest. This woman is so disturbed it is just unbelievable.

@CuriousGirl2
@

What a horrible twisted woman. She doesnt deserve her daughter or her forgiveness and isnt worthy to be called a mum. If it was my mum I'd not forgive her.

Fast forward 10 years… so Lauren what made you get into criminology?

@georginachappell3651

I've seen the documentary and the film that was "inspired" by the case (which was over dramatised and not that good). What this monster "mother" put her daughter through and the boyfriend is unforgivable and what I found shocking is that the girl forgave her mother after everything she did. It is very obvious that the mother is jealous of her daughters relationship with the boy, knows her daughter is growing up and may one day steer away from their "closeness" and be her own person without relying on her mother to guide her. So, the only way to keep controlling her daughter, is to try and destroy every other relationship her daughter has so that she doesn't loose that "closeness" and full control of her daughter life. 
The only good that came out of it is that the daughter has a closer relationship with her father (and a healthy one!) which seems her mother didn't let her have before. The mother should've got a way longer sentence than what she was given. The mother is a heartless narcissist and shouldn't be allowed to see her daughter until she is 18 and can make her own decisions as an adult, when shes been given time to understand everything her mother did to her and how much danger to her life her mother put her in (such as driving her daughter to take her life).

My god. 13 mins in, and my heart breaks for Lauren. This would have been devastating for me as a teenager. I hope she's ok, this poor young woman!

@pluviophile9863

To be honest , i believe that the judge should've ordered a no-contact order to protect Lauryn from her mother.

@cme7527

Absolutely horrendous 😢 the poor young girl 😢 could she not of changed her number 😢 the police need to investigate this thoroughly 😢 im only at beginning of this crime and its so sad for this clearly academic girl xx

I just can’t believe she didn’t get done for the sexual content to underage children. So strange

@gilllinsley1559

I was listening to this while doing house work & suddenly I heard these precious baby noises ❤

@natalievu4399
@

The mother acting all concerned, crying in the principles office & handing out copies of the horrifying text messages, in order to play the caring mama bear,
reminds me of so many Münchhausen Bi Proxy stories.

( oh, you just said that it was mentioned , during the court proceedings)

@natalievu4399

I watched this on Netflix and was so angry. I knew straight away that those messages were written by an adult because kids don't talk like that. It's far too embarrassing. I initially suspected her mum but then thought "it can't be!" Cos she's on the damn documentary! YIKES!!

@Dillyy-dallyy
@

I still think this is about that boy!! She was older and desperate for attention so took it out on her beautiful daughter, she's an egotistical, sick woman, that hugging of that girl, how very dare she?? Vile, great story telling emma xxx

@helaodinson

Loved Ella❤ being with us xxx

@dreamscoffeewithholly7626

Another shocking case - awful awful people out there!.

I didnt catch all of it tho - ur baby is too cute....enjoy your time together - my kids are all grown up and altho we still have fun times (even tho I am an uncool Dad lol) - it goes too quick doesnt it? All the best.

@thebasementfilmgroup

Ella Grey is the cutest assistant i have ever seen, does she get paid? 😜
Allso this case is unbelievable

@lifewithhina7743

Where do these people come from ?

@Ann-qf5vk
@

I don't get why they blur the baby out after showing her

@SianAlford
@

If that was me I'd run a mile from my mum, dad or anyone else in my life and have nothing to do with them again. The so-called mother will never change. She's better off without her. This could've ended in the daughter's death, in my world that alone is unforgiveable.

@KippaxInThailand
@

That is the most protected baby in the world because thousands of true crime fans with strong stomachs and no issue with truly justified vigilante justice will absolutely destroy anyone who even thinks of harming her!

@twillaraynell4953
@

I can’t believe the police confronted Kendra while her daughter was there. And Kendra had her hands all over Lauren as the police were telling Lauren her mum was her abuser. The police completely ducked that up. Poor, poor Lauren. I hope she gets some really good therapy and goes no contact with her psycho mother.

@LongLivePaarthurnax
@

The weirdest thing just happened.I love your show.I watch a lot and I thought, how cute that's the first time. I've ever seen the baby, you know, that's just awesome.She's gonna do it all at the same time , but then all of a sudden the baby blurs , and you can't see the baby. anymore , I mean i\nEven rewound it to see if

@kandrapardick9392

Her daughter was just 14. And she used such disgusting sexual texts to torment her. That's some sort of pedo behaviour there. She needed to be in jail for longer. She ruined her kids teen life
