In a pink house in Missouri, USA, there lived a mother and daughter who depended on each other, and the little girl Gypsy had been very seriously ill since childhood, and she looked weak and couldn't help but be windy.
Due to the torment of illness, Gypsy's hair was completely lost, and his teeth were also lost in half, like a little old woman.
Gypsy can not walk, can only sit in a wheelchair, mother Didi will often push the wheelchair to take her out for a walk, in order to take care of the seriously ill daughter, the mother gave up her normal life, take care of her daughter's diet and living in every detail.
The touching story of the mother and daughter brought tears to people's eyes, and Gypsy was also moved to say: "Mom is my best friend." ”
Although her daughter suffered from several diseases, Didi has not given up for so many years, never giving up treatment, and let Gypsy survive strongly.
In the eyes of outsiders, this mother is the patron saint of her daughter.
When everyone thought that this warm story of "motherly kindness and filial piety" would continue forever, there was a shocking news - the mother Didi was persecuted and killed by her daughter Gypsy.
People were stunned, many people thought that Gypsy's approach was revenge, without the care of her mother, she could not survive at all, and what happened between their mother and daughter made Gypsy's heart burn with fierce anger?
"Mother who never abandons"
One day in 1991, the young mother Diddy anxiously carried her 3-month-old daughter Gypsy to the hospital and told the doctor that the child had sleep apnea.
The doctor carefully examined the gypsy three times and found that the baby was not in any problems and was in very good health.
Diddy is a single mother who, at the age of 24, met and fell in love with 17-year-old Luther.
After 6 months of dating, Diddy became pregnant, but luther, the father-to-be, was apparently not ready to be a father and left her on the grounds of "emotional discord".
Shortly after the breakup, the daughter Gypsy was born, Didi was very protective of her daughter, and after that examination, Didi was still very uneasy and often ran to the hospital.
In order to accurately describe the various symptoms of her daughter's illness, Didi "worked tirelessly" to carry out professional training and became a nurse assistant.
Didi said that her daughter has chromosomal defects, so there are many problems on her body, she can always describe the specific symptoms of the disease, and the doctors have to prescribe some medicines for her daughter.
Incredibly, every once in a while, a new illness appears on Gypsy's body, and Didi will take her daughter to see a new doctor and ask the doctor to prescribe different medicines.
In order to see her poor daughter, Didi did not let the gypsy continue to go to school, and stayed with her daughter inseparably so that she could take care of her at any time.
After Dee Dee "seriously" learned some medical knowledge, she learned more and more professional medical terms, and her daughter's illness became more and more serious under her description.
Because of her "serious condition", gypsy had to undergo surgery such as intubation in addition to taking medicine, and the little girl had to shave off her long hair and cut her small flat head, and her head was covered with various tubes.
In a photo released to the public, Gypsy holds her bear doll, her face covered with rectangular tape that holds the tube in place, and smiles strongly.
Under this high-profile treatment and the "meticulous care" of her mother Didi, her daughter's illness did not improve at all, but became more and more serious.
The mother, Diddy, was "desperately" treating her daughter, but Gypsy had more and more problems, and her condition deteriorated, and soon reached the point where she could not take care of herself.
Gypsy looked pale and weak, confined to a wheelchair due to muscle atrophy, lost hair on his head, and usually wore a hat or wig.
Gypsy's teeth also lost a lot, and he couldn't even eat food, and had to rely on a sucking tube to survive.
What's more exaggerated is that Gypsy seems to be struggling on the brink of life and death, and her mother Diddy often carries an oxygen bottle with her and sucks her daughter twice when she is "out of breath".
Sometimes neighbors ask with concern, "What is your daughter's illness?" ”
Didi immediately blurted out a bunch of professional medical terms, such as leukemia, chromosomal defects, epilepsy, severe asthma, eye diseases and other conditions.
In the years of "careful" care for her daughter, Didi knows the names of various professional medicines, as if she is already half a "professional doctor", and when others ask, she can always answer them seamlessly.
A poor single mother does not abandon the care of her seriously ill daughter, the alcoholic ex-husband does not ask, and the mother and daughter are left to fend for themselves.
And this poor mother and daughter never succumbed to fate, they always faced a miserable life with optimism and sunshine.
The inspirational and heart-warming story of the mother and daughter was moved by the listeners, and the hearers shed tears, which soon attracted the attention of well-wishers from all walks of life.
Charities immediately mobilized to provide all kinds of help to the mother and daughter, and the media and television stations conducted follow-up interviews to promote them as inspirational models.
In 2008, with the help of well-wishers, the mother and daughter lived in a large pink house in Missouri with a wheelchair ramp in front of the house, and life was better than before.
But the mother and daughter's lives did not develop as everyone expected, and a few years later, an accident came.
Arrange for the boyfriend to kill his mother
On June 14, 2015, Diddy posted a message on his social platform: "That Bitch is dead!"
Netizens saw this message, and their first reaction was that Diddy's number was stolen.
The tone of this message is very different from the tone of Didi's usual speech, many netizens are confused, asking what is going on, and some neighbors have called the police.
The police soon found Diddy's home and found that Didi had been stabbed several times and had fallen into a pool of blood.
By this time she had been dead for several days, and her daughter Gypsy was not in the room, and her wheelchair and some of her frequent medications remained in place.
Many netizens are worried that the gypsy is in danger and whether it was taken away by anyone.
Fortunately, the information on the social platform did not block the IP address, and the police quickly found the location of the gypsy, and when they opened the door, they found that the gypsy, who usually could only use a wheelchair, stood like a normal person and could eat a lot.
Gypsy confessed that she and her boyfriend Nicholas murdered her mother, and the two fled to her boyfriend's house for a few days after committing the crime.
In addition to the surprising case itself, the story of everyone finding out that she was sick is a shocking hoax in itself.
It turned out that Gypsy had grown up under the control of her mother, and as a healthy person, she had been deprived of the rights of a normal person.
Diddy felt that Gypsy had breathing disorders, and when she was a child, she was always forced to wear a respirator to sleep, and when she got older, she became more serious, she could not make friends like a normal child, and could only sit in a wheelchair.
Diddy claims that Gypsy's IQ is only 7 years old, so she must pretend to be stupid in front of outsiders.
Diddy injected her salivary glands into Botox, so she couldn't control her drooling and often showed a smirking expression, and later Diddy hated that her drooling was too dirty, so she didn't inject it again.
When Gypsy reached adolescence, she also had the careful thinking of loving beauty, but she could never grow long hair, and if her hair grew slightly, she would be shaved.
The teeth in her mouth were also worn out due to the side effects of the drug, and later had to be pulled out, becoming a little old woman.
After the tooth is lost, it is more difficult for gypsies to eat, and they usually use a catheter to replenish energy.
Gypsy sometimes secretly tries to eat some sweets with her mouth, and her mother is not relieved, but like a big enemy, Didi tells Gypsy that her body is allergic to sugar and has to be sent to first aid after eating sugar.
Gypsy is not completely unrepentant, and she often questions her mother, but Didi always brainwashes Gypsy with some professional and esoteric medical terminology, convincing Gypsy that she is indeed seriously ill and terminally ill, and will die if she is not careful.
Her mother told Gypsy that she had leukemia and needed to shave her hair off, and Gypsy had to do it.
Whenever the gypsy did not want to take medicine or treatment, the mother Didi was always heartbroken, crying about how difficult it was for her to take the child alone for many years, and angrily rebuked the gypsy for disobedience.
For so many years, Gypsy had always been suspicious, who would have thought that a mother would harm her daughter like this?
Everything is under Diddy's control, and so many years of careful planning have brought her benefits and a comfortable life, but what Didi did not expect was that her daughter met her own love.
Gypsy stayed in the house every day and had no friends, so he could only accompany the drug and secretly used the computer to surf the Internet.
In 2012, she met her boyfriend Nicholas on social platforms and told him some of her confusion.
Nicholas, who had some medical knowledge, felt that maybe Gypsy was not sick at all, and encouraged Gypsy to get up from his wheelchair.
Gypsy tried to get up from her wheelchair, but she had been "paralyzed" for years, was very unskilled at walking, and when she found that she could indeed walk, it was like opening the door to a new world.
She continued to try to do things she couldn't normally do, and found that there were no side effects when she did.
Turns out mother has been lying to her! There were many things that normal people could do, and she could do them, and Gypsy was in a mood of both joy and anger, and for years she had been used as a tool for profit, played around like a fool, with a ridiculous catheter stuck in her body, and living a life of the walking dead.
She told her boyfriend about these things, and her boyfriend Nicholas was also very angry, and the fire of revenge between the two burned.
In order to regain his youth, but also to get out of his mother's control, Gypsy asked her boyfriend to kill his mother, otherwise the two could not be together.
On June 14, 2015, boyfriend Nicholas stabbed Gypsy's mother with a knife, and Gypsy covered his ears in fright and hid in the bathroom.
The day seemed to be a turning point, and it was time for all these lies to end.
Tell the truth after your arrest: you were in captivity for a long time by your mother
After this appalling case was announced, many netizens expressed sympathy for Gypsy's suffering, and even the judge was moved.
In the end, Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years in prison, while the boyfriend was charged with first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
This rare case caused a sensation in the United States, and the American "People" magazine also launched a documentary "Gypsy's Revenge" to tell the story of the case.
Many media outlets also rushed to prison to interview gypsies.
"I can't walk, I can't eat, I can't have friends, I can't go out, and in prison I feel more free than living with my mom." Gypsy recounted her experience repeatedly, and a smile appeared on her face.
While in prison, Gypsy felt more free than ever, and although the food in prison was not delicious, she had gained a lot of weight, and she had long black and brown hair, and looked in a very good state of mind.
By 2022, Gypsy had served several years in prison, and many were waiting for her to return to freedom and start a new life.
However, there are also people who worry that she has been devastated for so long that there will be some psychological problems.
Although Gypsy later knew that she could eat and walk, after Diddy's death, she slowly realized that she did not have leukemia.
And she has been in a "captive" state for a long time, taking a lot of messy medicines, and even undergone some surgeries, which have more or less affected her body.
Gypsy's father, who launched a "gypsy release" petition on a website with more than 100,000 signatures, wanted to help his daughter reduce her sentence and said he would take him to live with him when she was released from prison.
Although the court gave her a 10-year sentence, Gypsy could be released on bail for seven and a half years, and the equivalent of her release from prison is in 2024, when she will be 33 years old.
In reality, Gypsy's father is not as useless as Diddy says, sending $1,200 in child support to her mother and daughter every month and occasionally buying gifts for her daughter.
The American media once filmed an 8-episode TV series "Evil Deeds", based on the true events of the Gypsy Mother case.
This TV series very realistically restores the life of the mother and daughter, and even the clothes in the TV series are exactly the same as the clothes on the real mother and daughter photos, but the actors who play the mother are not so fat.
Although you can guess the ending just by looking at the beginning, the audience will inevitably think about it in the process of watching this TV series, as if they are spying on the darkest part of human nature, fortunately, such mothers are a very few in reality.
Gypsy also once said: "My mother, for a really sick child, she is a really good mother, but the point is that I am not sick at all, that is the problem." 」 ”
In the process of mother-daughter relationship, Didi will also pretend to be like an ordinary loving mother, will take good care of the child, if the scam is not exposed, Didi is indeed a good mother on the surface.
But under the temptation of profit, this mother is like a demon crawling out of hell, dragging her daughter into the abyss, and the evil talent disguised by love is even more frightening, and it can be seen how complex human nature is.
This is a very dark parent-child story, fancy lies, false love can not cover up the evil deeds committed, the truth will always be revealed one day, the devil cocoons themselves to eat the consequences.
