Franklin-Lipsker explained to NBC why she is putting her family through such a wrenching ordeal. "There was nothing I could do at the time to protect Susan," she said. "I was the only other person there. And I just feel that I owe it to her to tell the truth." Whatever the outcome, it is hard to imagine the Franklins being like other families again. If they ever...

His adoptive parents decided five years after his adoption that Tony had not properly "bonded" with them, and returned him to the state in March. They kept Sam, Tony's natural younger brother.
