There were people who did spot things along the way, though, because there was a guardianship hearing and it only happened maybe like, you know, about a week or two after Jason was murdered, because obviously Tracy and her husband were very intent on following through on Jason's final wishes.
matched
And suspicious, I imagine, as well at this stage.
matched
They've gone over and they are doing their damnedest to get, you know, to get the guardianship.
matched
And there is a hearing and there's a judge called Brian Shipwash.
matched
And he ruled that the children should be taken from Molly and raised in Ireland by Tracy Lynch.
matched
And the judge later told the Irish Times that he believed Molly felt a deranged entitlement to the children and that he was worried about her mental health.
matched
So I think that there were people there who, you know, were able to see through or certainly question her behaviour or some of the things that she had been telling people or the authorities at that point.
matched
Okay.
matched
And then also because like not only, you know, if you've got Jason's family sitting around and waiting and like, you know, absolutely bereft and wondering what the hell has happened.
matched
But Sarah will talk about in her book in the days after the murder that no attention was paid to the children, you know, that they felt that they were two grieving children, you know.
matched
In a strange house, because they're in Molly's brother's house now, when they were crying, they were told to snap out of it.
matched
And where basically they felt that people were carrying on as if nothing had happened.
matched
They were just milling around the house, quietly talking to each other, paying no attention to them.
matched
Jack and Sarah weren't particularly close at the time.
matched
They'll tell you that themselves, that they had been kind of driven apart from each other because of Molly's, you know, deliberate actions.
matched
So they didn't even have each other's comfort.
matched
You know, Sarah will talk about how her brother Jack went off to sit in a cornfield on his own and just basically cry as a poor 10-year-old child with, you know, no one to comfort him.
matched
And that's the extra guilt that those children carry around now as well, that they weren't there for each other at that time.
matched
thankfully they seem to be a lot closer now and they've kind of worked through a lot of those issues mostly thanks to Tracy and David the couple who raised them as their own the way they both went into therapy as soon as they got back to Ireland and that seems to have helped a lot for them but
matched
The other problem with them staying with the Martin family was that when it came to them giving their interviews to the child psychologists in that centre where they were bought, they gave two very strange interviews, I think you can describe them as.
