Lake was taken in by the gang when she was fourteen and groomed by Manson and his harem. The gang occupied their abundant free time with LSD trips and group sex. When the gang was busted, Lake was placed in a psychiatric facility where she remained for eight months. Various diagnoses were suggested, including drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, etc. She was a sixteen year old wreck. Even if she had known that the murders were imminent, she would not have been strong enough to do anything. Let it go.

It's an unfair generalization by Amy to say Manson was representative of the "Hippy Movement." Not all "Hippies" were counter-culture, and VERY few were murderers.

"Member of the Family" has been by far the most honest of all the books written by ex-members. It details just how abusive, violently moody, and manipulative Manson could be. The fact that Miss Lake has never had to face a parole board is probably key to that honesty. Lake was a victim of her parents' drug use. They are the ones who introduced her to drugs, including LSD. C'est la vie.

Mason just used it to groom people and restructure their beliefs into his. As brainwashed as she became she did not participate in the murders and helped but him and the rest behind bar. I really suggest reading her book!

Who in the world would admit to knowing Hitler? Well, his secretary did. She survived the war and stayed silent for decades to protect herself. But towards the end of her life she realized that once she was gone their would be no one left to tell the story so she wrote a book. The movie "Downfall" is based on her book. Both her book and the movie serve as warnings to future generations so they don't repeat the same mistakes again.

Lake was taken in by the gang when she was fourteen and groomed by Manson and his harem. The gang occupied their abundant free time with LSD trips and group sex. When the gang was busted, Lake was placed in a psychiatric facility where she remained for eight months. Various diagnoses were suggested, including drug-induced psychosis, schizophrenia, etc. She was a sixteen year old wreck. Even if she had known that the murders were imminent, she would not have been strong enough to do anything. Let it go.

"Member of the Family" has been by far the most honest of all the books written by ex-members. It details just how abusive, violently moody, and manipulative Manson could be. The fact that Miss Lake has never had to face a parole board is probably key to that honesty. Lake was a victim of her parents' drug use. They are the ones who introduced her to drugs, including LSD. C'est la vie.

No. She just ran off with them once she found out
People were more impressionable in the sixties because of the rebellious nature of so called innocent young generation. Manson exploited his younger "family" he never had. It's not hard to imagine.
She was 14. My former co-worker, Mike, was going to Spahn Ranch, when he was 10 years old. He rode his bike there. He lived in Chatsworth. He was a cute kid, I guess, blonde hair, blue eyes. he said he liked it there, because the girls would fuss over him. He said Charlie talked to him a few times. When the caretaker found out, he said a boy that young had no business there, and forbade his return. We are still friends.
All you people need to seriously read the book before you judge this woman. The first half is about her younger years. It will make sense why she ended up where she did at 14. Her parents were truly fucked.

Exactly! Just finished the book
How disgusting that this person is making money off of murder victims. Regardless if she testified against “the family” or not she knew of the murders and kept silent. She also went into hiding with the group. Now she is using those same memories to sell her book. Her smugness on the Dr. Phil show was truly repugnant. She should donate ALL of the book’s proceeds to a crime victims advocate group.

Vicki Carpenter I don't know if she is making money off the murder victims. I don't think the book is about the murders since she wasn't there to be a witness. It's an inside story to a strange cult during an interesting time in history. If she can make money from the book, I don't have a problem with it.

hana777amanuel And when you write a book, there is no guarantee that you will make money. Some people despise former inmates and crooks because when their sentence is over, people think they can just write a book and make millions of dollars. Doesn't always work out that way. However, with Charlie dying yesterday, the timing of the book could not be better. "They gave her the gory details with an attitude of glee." Wow. Some of the Manson family were definitely fanatical/evil.
'church-going' she's saying it like it's a good thing
Uh...Charles Manson knew how to "street-talk" all the women in his Manson Family !
This is an exceptional book, very good and well written...
I wish people would stop interviewing her... I'm getting tired of her.... She wasn't involved in any of the crimes so this is her way I'm getting some attention like everybody.... Let it go and be quiet go live your life

she didn't watch shit. She testified and helped put the actual killers away. And unlike some others it wasn't to get herself off of charges, as she had nothing serious charged against her. as soon as she was jailed with other family members in one of the raids she used the safety of not being alone with them, to get out. She was then adopted by one of the detectives working on the case and became a normal, healthy, functional part of society.

The interview lady was very rude and careless to Dianne, the way she worded her questions. Respect for Dianne for being so calm and open anyways.
Parenting back then was not strict like it is now. Back then you could basically beat your kids and it would be okay. And while I do believe you should be able to give your own kids a good smack every once in awhile, that's totally something you'd go to jail for today. Such a sad, sad world we live in.
These women never took responsibility for what they did! Just because a man tells you that you are special you doesn't kill innocent people. imagine every woman who heard this from a man would become a murderer.

Who in the world would admit to knowing Hitler? Well, his secretary did. She survived the war and stayed silent for decades to protect herself. But towards the end of her life she realized that once she was gone their would be no one left to tell the story so she wrote a book. The movie "Downfall" is based on her book. Both her book and the movie serve as warnings to future generations so they don't repeat the same mistakes again.

They were all mainly hippies and hippies did hangout in many many groups. If anyone lived on Spahn Ranch which has a lot of rattle snakes and you were a ranch hand like Manson wouldn't you give everyone at least a knife to protect yourself from the snakes there, and show them how go use it. Much better than everyone having guns. Also Manson was 40 miles away when Tex led all the assaults to kill people . I hope Tex stays in jail then ends up in eternal hell as he was the ring leader in the murders.
