So many bad situations in these stories can be easily avoided by just being honest with your damn kids instead of assuming “because I say so” will magically make kids *less* likely to ignore odd requests, especially as they grow up.

@John Doe The author gave an explanation and a payoff. To go into detail about every little loophole would just bog down the story and turn into a huge exposition dump.

@@plantenthusiast3052 Maybe, but the ones I mentioned aren't part of "every little loophole". Glass doors, automatic doors and similar stuff is one thing but locking and staying far away from doors is like the first thing that comes to mind.

@John Doe I thought it was implied that "a lot of things were tried but didn't work" by simply indicating the amount of time that this has been going on. Hell, going to the different dimension was tried before as well. Also, it would be an insult to the audience's intelligence, and the premise as a whole, if a locked door was all it took to stop these things, so I figured that was implied as well.

If you have a curse in your bloodline, why wouldn't you just adopt instead? Problem solved. Also, does this also apply to cupboard doors? What about large drawers? Windows? Rotating doors?

The concept itself is really interesting, but the choices the author made are... certainly choices. Why in the world would their mother let herself be taken, which would mean a fate possibly worse than death for her, leave her children without a mother AND traumatize her granddaughter? It would literally only take talking about the forgotten until they start banging on the doors and her son would have no choice to believe her. Same with the uncle, different versions of the "there's no way we'd all fit!" is used all the time by writers who don't have a better idea but want a character dead.
