The Petito family said the Laundries' behavior, "goes beyond all bounds of decency and is regarded as shocking, atrocious and utterly intolerable." As a result, Gabby's parents said their suffered, "pain and mental anguish." "There is no requirement under the law to which we impose upon members of the public or members of families to communicate things that they may or may not know," Bertolino said. "Because there is no duty to report and no Good Samaritan law, there is no legal basis for which Christian rebels can be found liable."But the Petito family believes the Laundries were being knowingly deceptive.
