Best Netflix Film- Have you paid attention to Netflix’s global movie rankings recently? If not, let me tell you that a documentary has rocked this list. Its name is The High School Catfish: An Unknown Number. It was at number three last week and now it has come to the top.
A story that will terrify you
This documentary is about a teenage girl and her boyfriend. Their life changes when they start receiving disturbing text messages from an unknown number. These messages are so bad that their relationship cracks. But when the matter is revealed, the truth that comes out is absolutely shocking.
You will be surprised to know that the one behind this whole game was none other than the girl’s mother! In the documentary, she tries to justify her terrible act. She says, “Everyone makes mistakes.” She also tells that due to unemployment she had a lot of time to send messages. About her daughter, she says, “I was afraid that she would grow up, I wanted to protect her, keep her safe.” But what she actually did was to mentally break her own daughter.
Legal action and punishment
For this heinous crime, a judge sentenced the woman to at least 19 months in prison in 2023. This case shows how important trust is in any relationship, especially between parents and children.
