Camera footage reveals why this man’s daughter wakes up with bruises every morning a couple in ovia could never have prepared themselves for what would happen inside their house in the middle of the night when they were sleeping disturbing noises could be heard they have never thought too much of them but something happened to change their minds
Darren’s suspicions first fell on his girlfriend accusing her of pulling a prank on him she denied it and for them to finally figure things out they set up a camera but the disturbing footage would shake their world darren decided enough was enough and put a camera in their daughter’s bedroom marx had been appearing up and down his daughter natalie’s legs and he didn’t know was causing them his wife pam said that she didn’t have
Any idea either he let the camera record to gather the evidence now he was ready to take a look at what was really going on but what he saw adam lost for words for a year the family of three had been living in darren’s mother’s guest house but what they would find would make them want to leave immediately the symptoms started appearing when young natalie would come down for
Breakfast and darren would see bruises on her legs he didn’t think too much of it first kids bump and bruise themselves all the time but when new sets of bruises would appear where the last ones healed he knew something was very wrong it’s only natural to worry about your children any parent will tell you that darren cared a lot for his daughter and only wanted what was best for her well-being
Natalie had always struggled with her parents separation darren always felt guilty about what effects it had on her development when darren first started getting serious with pam he knew he wouldn’t forget about his daughter darren looked after the needs of his daughter very closely and because of it the two had a very close bond but natalie began changing when darren met pam and she moved in with them
Darren was always open with natalie and told her she could tell them anything but throughout the year she had become quieter a lot quieter darren assumed it was because of her growing up and getting into her teenage years but things only kept escalating as time went on with pam living with them darren noticed that the life was being sucked out of his daughter he didn’t understand why he was worried that she spent too much time locked up
In her room back herself darren was worried about her being sucked into social media he had heard stories about that kind of stuff but little did he know her social media pages were the least of his worries darren decided to ask natalie about her change in behavior she told him that she didn’t like the way other rooms in the house felt darren didn’t want to interfere with her
Life too much and felt confident that she would tell him if there were any problems but he’d learn to regret the decision then he noticed something that had sirens blaring in his mind natalie was now on summer break and with temperatures climbing well above 90 degrees she started wearing clothes that revealed her legs darren immediately noticed the marks on her legs and asked her about it she just
Looked down at her feet and said that she had woken up with him darren felt a bad feeling that just wouldn’t go away anyone looking at the family from the outside would probably say that things were perfect darren and pam were happy and he had a great daughter natalie but everything changed abruptly one day darren was woken up in the middle of the night by disturbing sounds natalie herself would eventually be the
Proof that would solve this mystery once and for all darren looked at his girlfriend and asked her if she was the one in natalie’s room at night and if she had anything to do with the marks that had appear on her legs pam was surprised to hear that darren was asking her something this serious she denied everything and darren knew what he had to do his decision would lead to a discovery
That would shake his world this was not the life darren signed up for when he chose to be with pam he knew that she and her stepdaughter had never really seen eye to eye but why wasn’t she as concerned as he was or was he just being paranoid natalie was a model student and never went out to party like the other kids her age she wasn’t interested in sports and preferred to curl up with a book and
Read her summer vacations away and she wasn’t dating so where did the bruises keep coming from as the weeks went by every morning darren would see more bruises appear on natalie’s legs what was she doing in the night to receive these marks and natalie kept denying that she knew how she’d gotten them what exactly was happening to his little girl the worried dad had hundreds of questions running through his mind
But one thing was for sure darren knew something just wasn’t right and the marks weren’t the only odd thing about natalie now she never seemed to get enough sleep she go to bed at 8pm exhausted and only re-emerge from her bedroom at lunchtime the following day she would pick at her food and hardly eat anything at dinner time and snap at darren’s most innocent questions when he showed concern
It was like natalie was a different person darren was beginning to worry about natalie’s health perhaps she had some sort of medical condition now pam who just drugged everything off also began to appear concerned armed with determination and driven by worry darren took natalie to the doctor in hopes of finding out the truth but what the doctor told him only left him
With more questions you see natalie didn’t appear to have anything wrong with her there was nothing strange or worrying about her results the doctor checked her blood levels but couldn’t find any deficiencies although darren was relieved to hear that his daughter was healthy this news meant that the cause of his daughter’s bruises could be something far more sinister
And just when he was reaching his wits end there was a knock on the door darren opened the door only to see a woman with a stern look on her face standing on his doorstep she tersely introduced herself and informed him that she was from social services when darren managed to wrap his head around what the woman was there for he was in complete shock this couldn’t have something to do with
Pam could it the woman who introduced herself as mrs wood said that she was there to investigate a possible situation involving young natalie and her parents she had been made aware of natalie’s inexplicable marks by their family doctor darren’s mind began to race he hadn’t done anything he’d never ever lay a hand on his child but unfortunately for him there was no way he could prove
Otherwise mrs wood would simply have to speak to natalie herself mrs wood introduced herself to pam and natalie and then enter the girl’s bedroom making sure to lock the door behind her pam shot daryl look what’s the meaning of this she asked furiously but before darren could explain she’d already stored off darren paced nervously in the hallway while the social worker spoke with
Natalie in private wondering what would happen next surely she wouldn’t get much more out of his daughter than he had would natalie finally tell the truth after what seemed like hours mrs wood finally emerged from the bedroom with natalie by her side and she was in tears with a mixture of anger sadness and frustration darren gritted his teeth and politely asked the social worker if there was anything else he could do for her he was furious by the insinuations
This woman was throwing around and now she made his daughter cry but the burning question on his mind was what exactly had natalie told her mrs wood told darren that she’d be in touch and showed herself out while darren tried to comfort natalie i told her what i told you dad she saw every morning i wake up with marks and i don’t know how they got there he’d taken her to the doctor and they’d run blood tests
He’d asked her what was going on directly he had even accused his girlfriend darren was at a loss and becoming more desperate by the minute something just wasn’t adding up here he vowed that he’d find out what it was but did he really want to know the answer things had become tense between darren and pam since the accusations were hurled and he was determined to get to the bottom of everything for natalie in
His relationship with pam’s sake so they all decided to set up a camera in natalie’s room to find out what had been happening once and for all the cctv revealed the truth but neither of them was ready for the discovery darren set up the cctv with a mission to find out who was responsible for the bruises on his daughter darren had been so convinced that it was pam because nobody else lived there he made sure that whoever had been doing
This would be exposed even going as far as purchasing a night vision camera he was held back from putting a stop to everything when he finally saw the perpetrator on the video he never thought that their life would soon become a nightmare darren could feel his heartbeat in his throat at first it was just natalie lying peacefully in her bed her hands still cradling the book she’d been reading
When she had fallen asleep 30 minutes passed and nothing looked out of the ordinary then suddenly darren saw something on the footage and his jaw came unhinged this had to be some kind of joke suddenly natalie seemed to wake up but she didn’t look like herself at all he continued watching the rest of the footage to find out more but what he saw next challenged his theories and shook his beliefs
You see in the footage it showed a peaceful natalie sleeping in her bed but 30 minutes in and natalie appeared to be crawling on her back darren suddenly felt sick to his stomach he blinked thinking he was seeing things of the footage but he wasn’t this was real natalie thrashed in her bed the movements she made looked weird and unnatural what was going on as soon as darren saw this he knew something was very wrong.
