Are you afraid of your mother? In this world, there is a concept where the person closest to you turns into your most terrifying executioner. This story is one of the most gruesome psychological games in the history of medicine and criminalistics.
In 2015, a girl named Gypsy Rose planned and carried out the murder of her mother. From the outside, the mother seemed like a self-sacrificing woman who had dedicated her life to her severely ill, wheelchair-bound daughter. But the truth was hidden behind a veil.
For many years, the mother suffered from "Munchausen syndrome by proxy." To gain attention, money, and sympathy, she lied to everyone that her completely healthy daughter was "terminally ill." She forcibly chained her to a wheelchair, administered harsh chemical drugs that made her hair fall out, and even deceived doctors into performing unnecessary surgeries on the girl's healthy organs. Gypsy lived years inside her own prison.
However, a girl raised under oppression eventually learned a manipulation even sharper than her mother's. She met a young man on the internet and turned him into her emotional slave. Gypsy manipulated her boyfriend's most delicate feelings, convincing him to punish her mother—in other words, to commit murder. An uninvited executioner entered the house and put an end to the mother's life.
When this story was exposed, the criminal world was shaken. Because sitting in the courtroom was not just a physical body that planned a murder, but a digital and psychological captive whose psyche had been shattered over years.
Question: In this situation, do you consider the girl—who suffered for years and saw killing her mother as the only way to save her life—a criminal, or a victim of the system and her mother?
