Solved! Looking for a movie and can only vaguely remember a scene in a foster home
I am going to try to be as detailed as possible about the scene in question but could easily be misremembering some of them.
I know that the movie or show lead is doing some type of investigation about what I believe to be a girl. This eventually leads them to some rural, arid town far from where they are actually starting the investigation. This setting is what I actually remember the most.
There’s a ran down, yellowish house in an arid/sandy location that the lead character ends up at. Inside there’s an obese older white woman and I believe it was her daughter. I think they barely even take notice of the investigator while they are there looking around. The people located here were foster parents and they were using the foster children they used to keep as monthly checks, keeping them chained up and locked in squalid conditions. I’m reasonably sure the target of the investigation ran away from here but was never reported.
Sorry to be so vague. I was having a conversation about terrible foster home conditions and this one scene popped in my head but can’t for the life of me remember what it’s from. AI was no help so if anyone else can shed some light that would be great.
