So what happened to Mindy and Randy?

Or maybe their father beat them to death and he ended up in jail and died of delirium tremens over the next week while awaiting trial.

Tf? Patricia isn't fat or even chubby. You must be one lonely dude.
I met Cinderella once She's actually kind of a bitch.

She called their mom (a bit uncommon the dad has custody) and reported him to child services.
I agree, an update would have been great.

I like the fact that the camera pulls away from Mindy and Randy on the staircase the last time we see them, signalling that we will never see them again.

Their mother sued and won the custody.

I found it very odd that the kids had not used myspace, phone calls, or emails to stay in touch. Then later, Facebook.
My cousins had step siblings come in and out of their lives, but then stay in contact through Facebook.
Also, what Mason and his sister went through was traumatic. How could they never bring it up again? Or go through angst because of it? Wouldn't they think about it every now and then? Mason was around 9 to 11 when it happened. He wasn't a baby. He would remember it.

"I found it very odd that the kids had not used myspace, phone calls, or emails to stay in touch."
As far as you know, they did contact them, just wasn't shown in the movie. You may have noticed the movie fast forwards in time to where many moments, even important ones, are left out.

The onus is not on anyone to do anything except to sit back and watch the movie. As soon as I saw that the camera was zooming out from Mindy and Randy - in an unusual and dramatic camera move - I knew the kids were not going to see them again. It is visual storytelling. That part of their life was over, whether anyone used Facebook or not.
If you became detached, it's because you were not paying attention to what the director was showing you.
"especially not in today's instant information age society."
Ah, so no Shakespeare for you! Or Checkov, or Ibsen, or .. meanwhile the film got made and won the tremendous respect of critics, the industry, and many audience members worldwide, but Ruben declares that only ADD- approved movies deserve respect.
It's not too late, Ruben, you can retrain your brain to accept and adore intellectual stimulation. It's up to you.

I quoted you. It was your sentiment. Have the courage of your convictions and be prepared to be challenged on them.
Resorting to profanity is just what I expect from people who waste so much time on a film they didn't like in the first place.
