Why Did Rebecca Haro Stay With Jake Haro? Trauma Bonds & a Mother’s Responsibility

In this chilling segment, the spotlight turns to Rebecca Haro, the mother who stood by Jake Haro even after he shattered their daughter’s bones and later killed their infant son Emmanuel. Why would someone defend such a man? Why stay loyal when your children’s lives are at risk?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott explains the psychology of trauma bonding and dependent personality disorder, breaking down why some partners remain attached to abusers despite overwhelming evidence of danger. Tony and Stacy weigh Rebecca’s moral responsibility to protect her child, while acknowledging that she herself may have been abused, manipulated, and trapped in fear.

The panel debates the cycle of hurt people hurting people, asking: does her trauma explain her actions, or excuse them? Should society show compassion, or demand accountability? The conversation expands into a broader discussion about the parenting “switch” — how some people naturally prioritize their children, while others never do.

This segment forces viewers to grapple with a tough question: when it comes to protecting children, how much blame belongs to the abuser, and how much to those who enable them?
