ABC 20/20 interviewed Shetina recently and asked her what people who are dating out there could learn from her experience. She answers: “There are real sociopaths and psychopaths that walk amongst us.” she explains.“They’re charming, they sit at the dinner table with you and your children and sometimes they sleep in your bed with you. They’re not capable of feeling love for you or anyone. Don’t ignore it. Get out as fast as you can.” ABC 20/20 will air its investigative report on Friday, January 8 at 10pm.
