    Captured in the 1930s before the words psychopath and pedophile were part of common vernacular, notorious serial killer Arnold Sodeman murdered four young girls with little thought of remorse. Without guilt, the evil serial killer strangled them to death with their own clothing and left their small bodies alone in the Australian brush, earning himself a chilling position in the annals of Australian crime. The first victim in his child murder spree, 12-year-old Mena Griffiths, showed signs of having been sexually assaulted, although the man who would become known as The School-girl Strangler denied the assault, and blamed the killing of both Griffiths and the other girls on his inability to control himself after he’d been drinking.

    My immediate reaction to Beth Thomas' experience/behaviors at the end of the video was multifaceted. I understood that her removal and temporary replacement was a decision made in the best interest of the adopted parents, Beth’s sibling, and for Beth.

I was uncertain where she was placed and weary of religious indoctrination taking place and causing additional confusion for the Beth. Based on the information presented in the documentary, Beth appeared to excel in the new environment which involved rules, structure, and opportunities to build her self-esteem and learn how to develop…
