Lauren got married to some guy, while still living with her father,(her mother no longer wanted her to live with her) and her father was still sexually molesting her, at this point in time, when Lauren was at around age 15...
Lauren had to get her father`s permission to get married, however...Lauren had about eight mis-carriages, while trying to have a baby...She got divorced from her first husband...Then she hit the streets and met an Italian barber who got her hooked on heroin and taught Lauren all about sex...This barber also put Lauren out onto the streets as a prostitute...This all occurred in the 60`s...She finally got rid of the Italian guy, who was meaner than hell to Lauren, and a very dangerous person, as well...Then she got hooked up with someone else who had her helping him smuggle drugs across the Mexican border..And then she got caught doing that and wound up in the Los Angeles County Jail...And then she was sent to women`s prison at Norco, California...She then got out on parole...Then Lauren continued to do heroin, and had a partner also doing drugs...She and this partner were living together... Lauren finally managed to have a couple of kids with some Mexican guy she met at Camarillo State Hospital, where the judge had sentenced her because of her drug problem...But before she had the kids and went to Camarillo, she was on the streets and Lauren got a meat cleaver and tried to hack off her arm, unsuccessfully..And that is when the cops took her to The Los Angeles County General Hospital..Then, while at the hospital, Lauren requested to be put into the psycho ward...And then Lauren was released from the general hospital, from a 30 day self-commitment, but then somehow wound up in Camarillo State Hospital, but she was sentenced there by some judge (if this story seems a little confusing, it is because I am trying to remember it from my taped version of the two hour special "Entertainment Channel" program on Lauren Chapin`s story)...Lauren then turned to the only person she trusted, her brother, Michael Chapin, who let her stay at his house in Irvine, California...She sort of cleaned up her act after that and was raising her two children and trying to work...When the "Father Knows Best" reunion, TV movie came out in 1977, she had the part of "Kitten" all grown up, with Robert Young, Jane Wyatt, Elinore Donahue and Billy Gray, all reprising their roles, as well...She, from doing that movie, was able to buy a house across the street from , Michael, her brother, in Irvine...Her mother and father had passed away...Her mother wound up committing suicide...Then Lauren got heavily into religion, (Something I do not believe in, myself) as a way out for her, and she, today, is very active, on the right track, and into many different things, as well as evangelistic preaching...Lauren is currently living in Coline, Texas...Her daughter and son are all grown up now....
