Siblings lock themselves in a bedroom for 54 days, documenting it live on TikTok in new docuseries

"They had to cook together. They had to break, they have to break a wall down to get to the bathroom, because they said they were so scared to walk outside their bedroom to go into the bathroom, and they could be taken, you know, during those, just walking a few feet. So they just, they tried to survive, you know?"

"After Brent was accused of abuse, he went to the court and claimed parental alienation, saying that Jessica Zahrt, his ex-wife, had essentially brainwashed, manipulated the children into being afraid of their father and coming forward with these allegations. And the judge during that time believed the father and did think that Jessica was alienating them. So that is when he said that there was going to be a minimum of 90 days of no contact with the mom and uninterrupted time with him."

"They gained a loyal following of people who were chiming in on their live streams who were just supporting them, encouraging them,"

"The two-part series documents the case of two siblings, Ty and Brynlee Larson, who barricaded themselves in a bedroom for 54 days to escape the reunification process with their biological father."

Two siblings, Ty and Brynlee Larson, barricaded themselves in a bedroom for 54 days to avoid a reunification process with their biological father. The barricade was livestreamed on TikTok day and night. The children said they were too afraid to leave the bedroom to use the bathroom and described having to cook together and break through a wall to reach it. Before the barricade, Ty and Brynlee accused their father, Brent Larson, of sexual abuse, which he denied. The district attorney did not charge him, but the children still refused custody. The father claimed parental alienation, and the judge believed him, ordering at least 90 days of no contact with the mother and uninterrupted time with him. The livestreams drew over a million viewers and a supportive following.
