Kyle’s family accused Caitlin of gro*oming Kyle when he was still in high school and isolating him from his family. Kyle’s older brother, Daniel, wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account:

My brother is a victim and was unfortunately a “perfect” pawn and target for this girl’s lifelong scheme based on his human characteristics and growing potential as a high-level prospect, which started taking place in 2019, exactly at the time when she began her pursuit of him.

Caitlin’s mom, Amanda, explained to the Daily Mail that their family has always believed in facing adversity with faith and perspective. She said:
