She knew and only cared about herself. The children were an afterthought, a social accessory to make her 'look good'. If she cared even a minute fraction about them, she would have given them to people who would have loved and cherished those babies so she could be with her methhead boyfriend. Though I doubt she'll grieve the loss of Gracie, I hope the image of her haunts her for the rest of what life she's allowed.
The fact that the 'Mother' would cover her bruises in makeup instead of leaving that monster is so scary! She actively covered it up and let him continue 😢
That's just f******up,i have only just started watching.. I have got kids,well they are grown up now,well my oldest baby passed away at 24years old,point is i bought my babies up..There is no way on this planet if a person put a hand on my babies i would stay with him,infact i would flip.. My heart goes out to these true inoccent little babies 🦋☮🦋☮
@@skullrose8985I’m sorry for your loss hun! I too lost my oldest baby when he was only 19 years old😢. I would leave anyone who hurt my children and they would never get a second chance. I don’t understand why any mom would allow this to happen😞💔. So heartbreaking! She is no mother at all….
I guess she needed a man in her life at any cost. And it's so wild because I doubt he contributed financially, maybe she thought he's saving her money by babysitting. It's a shame she wasn't strong enough to live on her own without a man ruling her. It cost her daughter her life and has probably scarred her son for life! Not to mention the new baby. Women that need men like this had to have suffered trauma or been raised in some kind of a weird situation.
That's worse. I thought she covered up her OWN bruises. That is infinitely worse and it is no longer her right to endure her own abuse. She not only may but MUST take steps to stop it, and she did not. May she not be let out either.
Honestly. I can only handle hearing a few of these stories a year these days. The idea that as I'm typing this comment right now, somewhere out there dozens and dozens of children are being harmed breaks my heart to pieces.
@@PragmaticBLT for real, too! After I’ve seen one of these stories where a child’s been hurt for years and no one did nothing and then everybody wants to rally around after the kid dies I have to watch something that will bring me out of the funk I got put in from a child suffering the way they have. But one thing positive I get from these stories I know what to look for when I see a child and things are nothing like a child’s life should be. Because you can tell when you see a child and they’re being abused or everyone in the family is eating but one of em. Hell even if there’s a few kids not eating but the parents are you know something isn’t right!
For real, I just gasped out loud when I heard it says "Daughter of Kristi" on her headstone, wtf? That is absolutely wrong!! And I wonder if the funds raised from others were used for the headstone? Not that we get a say in what it says, it just pisses me off I guess 😡
Sadly, only when society stops socialising young girls into prizing having a man, any man, in their lives over all else, stops creating the implication that if a girl/woman hasn't got a man in her life that she's somehow 'defective' or too unattractive to interest any man. And even more sadly, I just don't see society doing that any time soon. That sort of social pressure tends to hit young girls who are not as mentally able, whose families do not prize education or believe in educating girls so they can get careers that allow them to be fully self-supporting, the worst.
Well said young lady well said. lets not forget that vp nominee says only unmarried, and childless people are bad. nuff said. prayers to all children everywhere who suffer these horrible things. 🌺🌺🌺🙏😔😔😔
How could anyone be "deeply in love" with a meth filled monster who beats up on their toddler? This case is so sad to hear. Rest in painless peace Gracie.🙏
Well, it kind of does. There are three definitions of "mother" that I'm aware of. 1. a person who contributed the egg cell which then developed into a child. 2. a person who is legally someone's "mother", whether or not they're the biological mother. 3. a person who gives love and care to a child and is therefore seen as a mother to this child. I think I know what you mean but somehow I don't think it's a good thing to exclude bad mothers from being called a mother. Mothers can be murderers, mothers can be rapists and mothers can be horrible people. The word "mother" is not a badge of honor, it's just a word with a clear primary definition. Saying child murdering mothers aren't mothers, to me, feels like putting mothers on a pedestal, as if they're some kind of angelic creatures but they're just normal (good, bad, lovely, shitty) people who at any point in time could decide to do whatever to their children. I'm not really disagreeing with you, I hope you see what I mean, it's just the words.
Agree. In that case, one is the incubator while the other is the sperm donor. Heartbreaking for the children who are raised in such abusive circumstances.
The fact that you never run out of stories breaks my heart, but you two tell those stories with genuine compassion, and it tears me apart every time. You give these angels the voice they didn't have while still here with us.
It is. Especially when you watch a few in a row. My husband half listens to these when I’m watching in bed and even he said it’s so depressing listening to all these terrible stories.
Gracie's brothers victim impact statement absolutely brought me to tears! This young boy has managed to find more courage, resilience, dignity and even forgiveness then most grown men will ever have! He certainly has more than Chad was ever capable of!! It was truly an honor and humbling to hear his statement and something i will never forget! His grace and integrity is beyond admirable and I am truly proud of him and his character!!! Be blessed young man! Be blessed!!!
The landlord did the absolute bare minimum (which to be fair is more than most people in these cases who just ignore the obvious) to get him away from the mom and kids - yet that was infinitely more than she ever did for her own children. Sad.
The "mother" is an absolute pos. In some ways, even worse than Chad because she sat back while Gracie got beaten to death. I'm glad that Gracie got a beautiful head stone but it should never have had Kristie's name on it. Kristie knew full well what her horrible boyfriend was doing to her kids. He was such a loser and she must have been really desperate for a man in her life. She would rather post trite poetry that she must have found on line. She never cared about her kids.
That precious baby should not have had to donate her organs so that other children could live. She should have been able to keep them herself until she was a ripe old age. The irony is inescapable 😢
@phuchyouh7171 I started reading your comment. After the first sentence, I was thinking “that seems kind of mean”. Then you said she should have kept her organs for a long life. I got it. Goes to show don’t jump to conclusions too quickly.
I get what you're saying but that's not what irony is. Irony would be getting with a guy because you think it'll make you and your kids safe and protected only for him to kill one of them. That didn't happen here either as she simply didn't seem to care at all for her children or their well-being.
As someone that was involved in a corrupt CPS case, your stories provide some kind of catharsis in a weird way. Thank you for doing all you do, for these families and the victims.
Addiction alone doesn't make people do this. This is a result of pure evil and yet another monstrous failure of the system that was supposed to protect her. This year I will be sober for 11 years. My kids were very little when my addiction was at its worst. I bring this up because even in the depths of my addiction I would have done anything to protect my kids. I took care of them well and was considered a typical soccer mom, but I knew I couldn't be the best mom I could be nor would I live to see them grow up unless things changed. My point is that ADDICTION IS NOT AN EXCUSE! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEATING A CHILD FREQUENTLY UNTIL THEY DIE! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR STANDING BY AND LETTING SOMEONE SLOWLY AND METHODICALLY BEAT ANY CHILD TO DEATH, ESPECIALLY YOUR OWN!
This is very true. I grew up with everyone around me on drugs (crack/meth) and my aunt was violent but my mother never would hit a child. And they did the same drugs.
I can relate. Im 10 years in recovery of IV m3th and my daughter was 5. I never did and never would put my daughter in danger. There's evil in these 2, the m3th is the gateway.
I always said drugs don't change people, it brings out the worst of who they really are. I've met people with addictions and they mostly hurt themselves. The ones who hurt others would do that same shit sober. Congratulations on your sobriety, it's wonderful that you're still among the living.
Gracies headstone should not say daughter of ( monsters) name. Sister of Isaiah, absolutely! That nasty female may have birthed those precious, brave children, but she is not a mother.
Agreed. Using makeup to hide her child’s bruises from her boyfriend beating her. This isn’t a battered woman being abused as well and terrified to leave. She was complicit in the abuse and death of this beautiful little girl.
I had 2 skull fractures as a one year old and my mother used the excuse that I fell off the bed… I have seizures to this day. My mother was a meth addict as well
I'm a big sister, not a big brother, but I have nightmares about something happening to my little brother. I don't know if I could ever recover, bless him and I know he'll never let that little girl's memory fade.
I just lost my little sister and we weren’t even on good terms, but i worried about her all the time. As horrible as we were to each other, i still worried and cared for her. It broke my heart watching her die, watching her suffer, and being helpless to stop it. I can’t imagine how Isaiah felt/feels, i don’t know how I’d make it after all that.
I am so sick of these mothers receiving such light sentences. They are just as, if not more, guilty than the men they bring into their home. She knew about the abuse and covered for him, how does that not make her as guilty? She had every opportunity to end the abuse, but didn’t.
Sadly, it is heavily socialised into young girls from the very start. As well, the attitude that if a girl/woman hasn't got a man, this makes her somehow 'defective' or too unattractive to interest any man. For girls who are a bit less mentally acute, these attitudes hold considerable power. It's very sad, and I don't see it changing any time soon... in fact, I think it may be getting worse.
@@erikdentremont2891 I agree. I do think the proliferation of violent porn has dramatically shifted relationship dynamics. As well as the centuries ofl socialisation, as you say.
😢 beautiful little angel is in Heaven now where she will never be hurt again. Being a mother of two daughters and a dog mom of 5, I will never understand how a human being is able to just let another human being abuse her baby. I used to breed Bulldogs, and I recall how the mom protected her babies. I also know that I would destroy ANYONE who hurt my daughters, even now, and they're grown. For most of my daughters lives, I remained a single mom because I didn't trust anyone around them. I had to sometimes work 7 days a week to support them, while my beloved grandmother watched them, but I always knew they were safe- that mattered most. It will ALWAYS matter most. RIH, sweet Gracie❤
The amount of typos, bad spelling, and terrible English was abhorrent. Christy should not have been having children. I come to that conclusion, clearly, NOT just from the ignorant, unintelligent posts on her social media account. That poor little baby girl.
Rip little Gracie, you will always be remembered in our hearts . Yet another child's life taken but not forgotten. Be strong Isaiah . Thank you yergy and drewby
I CANNOT with the run on sentences I just can’t I really can’t it’s like use a period or a comma even the wrong punctuation is better then none 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So heartbreaking. I just will never understand how mothers let these men or anyone hurt their children. I don't understand how anyone could hurt a child. This poor angel was murdered and her monster mother allowed it to happen. If that is not bad enough, she only gets 25 years in prison and will only do half of that??!! That is absolutely disgusting. It breaks my heart to think of how much this baby girl suffered. She deserved so much better. RIP sweet angel. I am so sorry for what happened to you. 😢🙏
It's so horrible to know that this happens every single day. I cannot fathom why or how anyone could do this to anyone but especially children. How could they, how can they live with themselves. I will never ever understand! Prayers to the family and loved ones that actually loved her. And I hope the brother gets the help he needs! 😢
It is because the worst of evil is here and the best of the good, both here on the planet standing off in a final battle. It just so happens the best of the good are children. 😢
I was in waterloo iowa almost two years ago on a small stint with a carnival, and waterloo was riddled with meth, and meth houses, I heard story's from residents of the crime associated with meth, it seemed everyone I met their was on meth. What a shame.
Was the first time I ever heard of people mixing meth with water and putting it in a syringe without a needle and putting it up their butt..I guess they couldn't get any higher..
Another heart breaking and “avoidable” story. Fly high princess 😢 My OCD can’t with the compound sentences. Seems she never used any periods or commas before. Thank you for always sharing and being so compassionate.
Imagine what that does ran unborn child 😥 I used to work in addiction counselling and our greatest horror then was babies born addicted to heroin. They have a very distinctive cry when withdrawing. Then crack hit our shores and we started seeing the most horrible birth defects. Understanding the cognitive effects of substance abuse wasn't really understood outside of specialists then. Ironically,25 years later, the research has explored and there is so much evidence now,yet there seems to be no taboos for pregnant women now. Fetal alcohol damage is a so common,so undiagnosed. The range of synthetic drugs is infinite.. it's so so sad for all the children who have to spend the rest of their lives struggling with the consequences of their mothers drug use. We just don't talk about it enough. It's too socially acceptable. We made a big effort to make smoking cigarettes when pregnant unacceptable,then smoking around children..we can do the same for drugs and alcohol!!!
@@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts thanks for this comment 🙏 I was born addicted to drugs and have autism. I have a nephew who was born addicted to heroin. He was so uncomfortable all the time, it's absolutely heart breaking to see. Only think that calmed him was being rocked a certain way.
It doesn't matter how many times I hear these traumatic tragic horrific stories I will NEVER understand how someone can literally beat a small child to death!! To hit to punch to kick and not snap out of the rage and say OMG what am I doing? To repeatedly hit a child, to cause bruises and broken bones.......and the birth pos to just sit by and watch?! My God our world is so UGLY!!
@@kerrylevey8746 The sad thing is, it always has been ugly. So many people yearn for so-called 'simpler', 'better' times... but those selfsame times had the very same problems. We just hear about them more now. I was born in the early 60s, and was the scapegoated child myself... but in the minds of most people, including doctors and teachers, 'that sort of thing' just never happened in 'good families'. They didn't look for evidence of things that they never considered real in the first place, and there were very few options for children whose escape was truly a matter of life and death. I had to become a homeless emancipated minor at 14 to save my own life, and in becoming homeless at 14, I was all but forced into crime, as no legitimate business would hire a 14yo for full-time work at a pay rate equal that of an adult, enough to afford rent and groceries. As lacklustre as modern child protective agencies can be, I am still glad that they exist - for the kids who come from situations of severe abuse who at least get out, away, with their futures still at least somewhat their own to create.
Absolutely heartbroken for the children and what they had to endure because their own mother isn't a mother enough to protect them!! ...🥺😡 Then there's the other people who witnessed some of the incidents involving the cruel treatment of the children but nobody ever called the police??! ... I'm speechless and disgusted by this too!! 😤😡
He lifted her up by her hair and then dragged her and her bike into the house... you're not telling me that no-one heard that and looked out of the window??
@@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts Exactly!! ... WHY didn't anyone intervene? ... They could have done it anonymously if they'd have preferred! ... It's not hard to make a call to the police or child protection to at least get a welfare check done... Something! ... Anything!! It's better than the NOTHING that was done; which then led to the childs murder!! 🥺
Having aged out of the system these infuriate me! Having aged out of the system these cases have made me even more passionate to raise awareness. Having aged out of the system I am an advocate. Having aged out of the system I will be your voice. Rest in Heaven baby girl… RIH💔🥺
I will never understand how a woman can grow her child for 9 months and feel ur baby growing and moving, having the very first bond then allowing some monster to come into ur childrens lives and doing to them what that monster did to that baby girl. Aint man EVER gonna be more important than my babies.
Wow, the fact that Chad was SO concerned about the possibility of developing seizures from going off his medication . . . deeply ironic. That's some karmic justice. The judge specifically said that Kristi's sentences should be consecutive, not concurrent!! Why tf is that being ignored?? She let that dirtbag beat her daughter to death without so much as blinking an eye! (And, as other commenters pointed out, actively aided and abetted the abuse by hiding Gracie's injuries with makeup!) Less than ten years is nowhere near enough. Thank goodness she won't have the chance to ruin her third child's life like she did Isaiah's - or, God forbid, allow them to fall victim to the same fate as Gracie. Hope Isaiah and said child are well. Also, not that Chad ever seemed like the brightest crayon in the box, but it seems really stupid to me that he got his case severed from Kristi's. If they had been tried together, I think the jury would've had a hard time proving her involvement as much as his, which might've meant an inability to agree on a verdict/lesser sentence/or something (not entirely sure how that works). Great job as usual, Drewby and Yergy! Give your cats extra chin scritches for me!
How delusional was the mother. She kept posting online how much she loves that evil, pathetic, despicable waste of space. What about her children, how did her love for her children stop. Sadly, we are seeing too many cases where the parent fails to protect their children from the abuser if they are not abusing them aswell. Poor children, my heart breaks how much fear, pain and loneliness they would have felt. They both should not be allowed any where near children again. R.I.P baby girl. You are safe now and flying with the other angels.
This world is so cruel. I was a child living a very traumatic life. I don't understand how adults hurt children. And then fact y'all ALWAYS have these to tell 😢😢
That so called mother needed life as well. Her name had no business being on that poor little girls headstone. I feel so sorry for the brother. He will be plagued by guilt for not protecting his sister. I pray they have him in therapy, for him to deal with not only losing his sister, but to deal with his trauma both these disgusting people put him thru. I'm hoping that prison justice takes care of these two.
23:57 she said her injury’s were common for little girls?!!! Wtf kind of professional is that…They should not be able to get on the stand and lie like that …. That’s insane. Lawyers just shop around for a “expert” until they find one willing to lie? Is that how it works?
That mother wasn’t just neglectful she was complicit. Hiding the bruises and never taking her daughter to the ER when she had seizures… she KNEW it was wrong and stayed with the POS.
Not even half way through and my blood is already boiling at both adults but more with the selfish mother I've seen stray cats with more compassion for their young then these people and I use people lightly uughh
Strange to hear you cover a local case to me. I’m a nurse and House supervisor but was not working at that hospital then. The paramedic, Kyle Fuller is someone I have worked with for years..he also married a good friend of mine. Such a small world
I always wonder if the neighbors & witnesses who *never reported what they saw* are here in the comments crying about how sad this is. If you see something SAY SOMETHING!!!
What a poor mother she was allowing these little kids to go through this. 2 little kids with these 2 monsters. My god she was only intrested in her self.
I'm glad that both had long sentences. He should have been more in my opinion. She should not get out, she was just as guilty by ignoring what that evil so and so was doing to that beautiful little girl. I hope Isiah is OK, and has moved on in his life to good things.
I know i posted already butni have something to say about the epilepsy. My father beat my mother badly until she was able to get away from him when i was two. He hit her so hard one day that she was unconscious for 3days with one hit when she was about 7 months pregnant with me. It left a 3 inch scar on her left temporal lobe. It caused her to develop epilepsy and she lived with it until the day she died. Its more common to develop epilepsy by an injury to the head leaving a scar on the brain than it is to be born with it. I just wanted to put that out there bc doctors do not have a lot of info about it. There is more info now than it was back in the last 70s and even in the 90s. However it seems that these doctors are not to informed on epilepsy listening to the testimonies.
What is wrong with these people? The "mother" is just as guilty, maybe even more. It was her duty to take care of her children and see that this monster did not hurt them.
"Her own writing is painful to read out loud." That cracked me up. I mean, WTH has our education system come to when grown adults cannot even begin to use real grammar?
Grace, a sweet angle among us. Bless the family with their loss of a sweet, beautiful little girl. Bless the families decision to donate her organist other children. Grace may have lost her life, but will continue to live in the children who received her organs.
You both always do such an amazing job telling us these precious children’s horrific stories. I just want to say thank you for giving them a voice, and showing the upmost respect and care as you tell us of the unimaginable pain these babies lived and died thru. I have never once seen either of you talk about this sort of thing and be disrespectful in any way. You’re both awesome. And it takes a real true coward to hit and beat a tiny little human. I’m sure he’ll get his just rewards in prison ❤ RIP sweet baby girl. I know Jesus has you in his arms now 🙏🏻
You two are always above and beyond with respect for these children, but I couldn't help but detect a little snark from Yergy in reference to the "mother's" FB messages. ❤ Well deserved 👏 I was right there with ya!
Some lawyers are POS! They would rather get their job done then get justice for a child...😢....it takes a heartless human who would lie to get his client off..smh
yeah i noticed that to i mean these cases are not like oh this person may have done it so lets look to prove he or she didnot those im more fine with than these POS that are saying stuff like what he did like what the fuck is this pos guy who says shit like clearly she fell
I've heard so many stories where there is this complicity of the spouse in the abuse of their kids. And themselves. It's crazy. You'd think that level of depravity only happened in movies.
I enjoy the way you’ll read posts and texts from these people without correcting anything. You can see how absolutely ignorant these people are, people who can hurt and allow others to hurt children. Always classy.
The mother is just as sick as this piece of trash. Letting this happen is unforgivable and heartbreaking. Such a beautiful little girl 😢 rip little angel 👼 ❤❤❤❤❤

Just because you can give birth, that doesn't make you a ' mother'
😢 So right!!! I would NEVER call this female creature a mother!!! She gave birth to a child, but she is no mother at all!!!
Same goes with men...sp. er. M doesn't make a guy a father.
Absolutely true! I'll never understand how any "mother" can stand by and watch/allow the men in their lives abuse their children.
Well, it kind of does. There are three definitions of "mother" that I'm aware of.
1. a person who contributed the egg cell which then developed into a child.
2. a person who is legally someone's "mother", whether or not they're the biological mother.
3. a person who gives love and care to a child and is therefore seen as a mother to this child.
I think I know what you mean but somehow I don't think it's a good thing to exclude bad mothers from being called a mother. Mothers can be murderers, mothers can be rapists and mothers can be horrible people. The word "mother" is not a badge of honor, it's just a word with a clear primary definition. Saying child murdering mothers aren't mothers, to me, feels like putting mothers on a pedestal, as if they're some kind of angelic creatures but they're just normal (good, bad, lovely, shitty) people who at any point in time could decide to do whatever to their children.
I'm not really disagreeing with you, I hope you see what I mean, it's just the words.
Agree. In that case, one is the incubator while the other is the sperm donor. Heartbreaking for the children who are raised in such abusive circumstances.
The fact that you never run out of stories breaks my heart, but you two tell those stories with genuine compassion, and it tears me apart every time. You give these angels the voice they didn't have while still here with us.

Support Universal Day Care and Medicare!
It is. Especially when you watch a few in a row. My husband half listens to these when I’m watching in bed and even he said it’s so depressing listening to all these terrible stories.
Gracie's brothers victim impact statement absolutely brought me to tears! This young boy has managed to find more courage, resilience, dignity and even forgiveness then most grown men will ever have! He certainly has more than Chad was ever capable of!! It was truly an honor and humbling to hear his statement and something i will never forget! His grace and integrity is beyond admirable and I am truly proud of him and his character!!!
Be blessed young man! Be blessed!!!
She didn't care about her kids. If she did, she wouldn't have let her boyfriend abuse them.
The landlord did the absolute bare minimum (which to be fair is more than most people in these cases who just ignore the obvious) to get him away from the mom and kids - yet that was infinitely more than she ever did for her own children. Sad.
That’s true.
well said sir 🌺😔
She should never get out of prison.
The "mother" is an absolute pos. In some ways, even worse than Chad because she sat back while Gracie got beaten to death. I'm glad that Gracie got a beautiful head stone but it should never have had Kristie's name on it. Kristie knew full well what her horrible boyfriend was doing to her kids. He was such a loser and she must have been really desperate for a man in her life. She would rather post trite poetry that she must have found on line. She never cared about her kids.
She was having seizures from being hit in the head all the time!
That precious baby should not have had to donate her organs so that other children could live. She should have been able to keep them herself until she was a ripe old age. The irony is inescapable 😢
@phuchyouh7171 I started reading your comment. After the first sentence, I was thinking “that seems kind of mean”. Then you said she should have kept her organs for a long life. I got it. Goes to show don’t jump to conclusions too quickly.
I get what you're saying but that's not what irony is. Irony would be getting with a guy because you think it'll make you and your kids safe and protected only for him to kill one of them. That didn't happen here either as she simply didn't seem to care at all for her children or their well-being.

Educate urself what,really goes on in "legal" organ donation.
As someone that was involved in a corrupt CPS case, your stories provide some kind of catharsis in a weird way. Thank you for doing all you do, for these families and the victims.
Addiction alone doesn't make people do this. This is a result of pure evil and yet another monstrous failure of the system that was supposed to protect her. This year I will be sober for 11 years. My kids were very little when my addiction was at its worst. I bring this up because even in the depths of my addiction I would have done anything to protect my kids. I took care of them well and was considered a typical soccer mom, but I knew I couldn't be the best mom I could be nor would I live to see them grow up unless things changed. My point is that ADDICTION IS NOT AN EXCUSE! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEATING A CHILD FREQUENTLY UNTIL THEY DIE! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR STANDING BY AND LETTING SOMEONE SLOWLY AND METHODICALLY BEAT ANY CHILD TO DEATH, ESPECIALLY YOUR OWN!
This is very true. I grew up with everyone around me on drugs (crack/meth) and my aunt was violent but my mother never would hit a child. And they did the same drugs.
I can relate. Im 10 years in recovery of IV m3th and my daughter was 5. I never did and never would put my daughter in danger. There's evil in these 2, the m3th is the gateway.
I always said drugs don't change people, it brings out the worst of who they really are. I've met people with addictions and they mostly hurt themselves. The ones who hurt others would do that same shit sober. Congratulations on your sobriety, it's wonderful that you're still among the living.
Addiction is an excuse for petty theft, common crime etc, not the injury of a child
@@user-lz9zw8gb9i 💯
Gracies headstone should not say daughter of ( monsters) name. Sister of Isaiah, absolutely! That nasty female may have birthed those precious, brave children, but she is not a mother.
That poor baby girl :( Her brother will never heal from this. My heart goes out to the family and friends of little Gracie. SHe plays with angels now.
🥹❤️🩹💔
Kristi is as guilty as Chad and even more despicable than him. Justice would be that she remain in prison for the remainder of her natural life
Exactly, I can't understand that she's able to get out in under 10 yrs even when the sentences were consevutive & NOT concurrent!!
@@laleona776 I guess judges love deadbeat moms
@@laleona7765 years for manslaughter?!! I don’t get it.
Agreed. Using makeup to hide her child’s bruises from her boyfriend beating her. This isn’t a battered woman being abused as well and terrified to leave. She was complicit in the abuse and death of this beautiful little girl.
The fact that the little boy tried so hard to protect his sister..... 😭💔
It amazes me that you need a license to catch a Fish, but any POS can have a baby!!!😮
I'm Norwegian with English as my third language and I'm in shock over this woman's grammar!
She can't be clean.
She must've been smoking with him.
Jag är svensk och jag håller 100% med dig.
He gets life and she gets 10 years? Same crime, same time is what I say.
Are we sure Kristi wasn’t on meth, her writing makes me look like an expert
Took a shower and snapped because when he came out the baby was playing? Why would that make him snap? This makes me physically sick!
Same as him snapping because she fell off her bike, like? How does that affect you? Evil man
Poor Gracie couldn't win as right from the start he was set on making her life hell no matter what she did
The picture with her brother 😢😩 poor baby, I hope he heals
I had 2 skull fractures as a one year old and my mother used the excuse that I fell off the bed… I have seizures to this day. My mother was a meth addict as well
😮I'm sorry this happened to you. Due to your disability your no longer able to work or just take medication?
@@MamiOf3kids I own my tattoo shop and am able to work but some days it’s difficult
@@cthornton0706 that's awesome 👌
The mothers always piss me off more than the abuser, choosing a man over your child is disturbing
Same
I'm a big sister, not a big brother, but I have nightmares about something happening to my little brother. I don't know if I could ever recover, bless him and I know he'll never let that little girl's memory fade.
I just lost my little sister and we weren’t even on good terms, but i worried about her all the time. As horrible as we were to each other, i still worried and cared for her. It broke my heart watching her die, watching her suffer, and being helpless to stop it. I can’t imagine how Isaiah felt/feels, i don’t know how I’d make it after all that.
@@edgaralanfrog I'll pray that you and your family find peace again. I know that nothing else can fill the space left behind by loved ones.
What is going on with these women. If I witnessed anyone hurt my child I would be writing this from prison. All for a man sick
I am so sick of these mothers receiving such light sentences. They are just as, if not more, guilty than the men they bring into their home. She knew about the abuse and covered for him, how does that not make her as guilty? She had every opportunity to end the abuse, but didn’t.
Rest in peace baby girl. Im so sorry these monsters failed you 💔
What the hell saying that there’s ghost beating Gracie so they moved her to the basement? That’s crazy as f.
The call a nurse, Susan cared more for that baby than the "parents"
Some women will do anything to feel validated by having a man in their life. Ive never ever understood that mentality.
Right, I'd rather be alone than anyone treat my child like that.
Sadly, it is heavily socialised into young girls from the very start. As well, the attitude that if a girl/woman hasn't got a man, this makes her somehow 'defective' or too unattractive to interest any man. For girls who are a bit less mentally acute, these attitudes hold considerable power. It's very sad, and I don't see it changing any time soon... in fact, I think it may be getting worse.
Me neither. Low self esteem for sure
@@Lastfirst333 Absolutely. It is so sad.
@@erikdentremont2891 I agree.
I do think the proliferation of violent porn has dramatically shifted relationship dynamics. As well as the centuries ofl socialisation, as you say.
The mother was obviously a crystal addict also!☮️❤️
😢 beautiful little angel is in Heaven now where she will never be hurt again. Being a mother of two daughters and a dog mom of 5, I will never understand how a human being is able to just let another human being abuse her baby. I used to breed Bulldogs, and I recall how the mom protected her babies. I also know that I would destroy ANYONE who hurt my daughters, even now, and they're grown. For most of my daughters lives, I remained a single mom because I didn't trust anyone around them. I had to sometimes work 7 days a week to support them, while my beloved grandmother watched them, but I always knew they were safe- that mattered most. It will ALWAYS matter most.
RIH, sweet Gracie❤
The amount of typos, bad spelling, and terrible English was abhorrent. Christy should not have been having children. I come to that conclusion, clearly, NOT just from the ignorant, unintelligent posts on her social media account. That poor little baby girl.
I’m increasingly leaning more towards the thought that people should have to pass a litany of tests before bearing children.
Rip little Gracie, you will always be remembered in our hearts . Yet another child's life taken but not forgotten. Be strong Isaiah . Thank you yergy and drewby
I CANNOT with the run on sentences I just can’t I really can’t it’s like use a period or a comma even the wrong punctuation is better then none 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like ur comment? That's hilarious 🤣
Love ur sense of humor 😅
So heartbreaking. I just will never understand how mothers let these men or anyone hurt their children. I don't understand how anyone could hurt a child. This poor angel was murdered and her monster mother allowed it to happen. If that is not bad enough, she only gets 25 years in prison and will only do half of that??!! That is absolutely disgusting. It breaks my heart to think of how much this baby girl suffered. She deserved so much better. RIP sweet angel. I am so sorry for what happened to you. 😢🙏
This is so sad man I wish these kids didn’t go through all this.
It's so horrible to know that this happens every single day. I cannot fathom why or how anyone could do this to anyone but especially children. How could they, how can they live with themselves. I will never ever understand! Prayers to the family and loved ones that actually loved her. And I hope the brother gets the help he needs! 😢
It is because the worst of evil is here and the best of the good, both here on the planet standing off in a final battle. It just so happens the best of the good are children. 😢
What an amazing kid,Forgiving him for what he put him and his sister through.ISAIAH YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION.
Every 3 days and another child ..and another slips thru the cracks?? I don't know what ppl are thinking!?
Nobody see or hear anything and if they do they don't act.
How ANY women can choose a scumbag guy over her OWN children is despicable
I was in waterloo iowa almost two years ago on a small stint with a carnival, and waterloo was riddled with meth, and meth houses, I heard story's from residents of the crime associated with meth, it seemed everyone I met their was on meth. What a shame.
Was the first time I ever heard of people mixing meth with water and putting it in a syringe without a needle and putting it up their butt..I guess they couldn't get any higher..
Making me id for Sudfed is all theyve done about our 40 year meth epidemic!
Really 😱😳😂 that's so disgusting 🤢
Another heart breaking and “avoidable” story. Fly high princess 😢
My OCD can’t with the compound sentences. Seems she never used any periods or commas before. Thank you for always sharing and being so compassionate.
I know this is tragic and serious but the way you read her Facebook posts is sending me 😭
my parents were meth heads and typed exactly like these two. crazy to see the cognitive effects of abusing meth!
I'm sorry to hear that. My mother was a crack/meth head as well. She did drugs since 14. She was smart but can't write or spell for shit.
Imagine what that does ran unborn child 😥 I used to work in addiction counselling and our greatest horror then was babies born addicted to heroin. They have a very distinctive cry when withdrawing. Then crack hit our shores and we started seeing the most horrible birth defects. Understanding the cognitive effects of substance abuse wasn't really understood outside of specialists then. Ironically,25 years later, the research has explored and there is so much evidence now,yet there seems to be no taboos for pregnant women now. Fetal alcohol damage is a so common,so undiagnosed. The range of synthetic drugs is infinite.. it's so so sad for all the children who have to spend the rest of their lives struggling with the consequences of their mothers drug use. We just don't talk about it enough. It's too socially acceptable. We made a big effort to make smoking cigarettes when pregnant unacceptable,then smoking around children..we can do the same for drugs and alcohol!!!
@@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts thanks for this comment 🙏 I was born addicted to drugs and have autism. I have a nephew who was born addicted to heroin. He was so uncomfortable all the time, it's absolutely heart breaking to see. Only think that calmed him was being rocked a certain way.
I’m sorry this is your experience. I hope things got easier for you, you didn’t deserve that 🖤
Have you ever even tried meth or know what it feels like to be on meth in the first place?
Lil' Chad gonna get his justice in prison waving them "gangs sighs".
It doesn't matter how many times I hear these traumatic tragic horrific stories I will NEVER understand how someone can literally beat a small child to death!! To hit to punch to kick and not snap out of the rage and say OMG what am I doing? To repeatedly hit a child, to cause bruises and broken bones.......and the birth pos to just sit by and watch?! My God our world is so UGLY!!
💯💯💯💯💯
@@kerrylevey8746 The sad thing is, it always has been ugly. So many people yearn for so-called 'simpler', 'better' times... but those selfsame times had the very same problems. We just hear about them more now.
I was born in the early 60s, and was the scapegoated child myself... but in the minds of most people, including doctors and teachers, 'that sort of thing' just never happened in 'good families'. They didn't look for evidence of things that they never considered real in the first place, and there were very few options for children whose escape was truly a matter of life and death. I had to become a homeless emancipated minor at 14 to save my own life, and in becoming homeless at 14, I was all but forced into crime, as no legitimate business would hire a 14yo for full-time work at a pay rate equal that of an adult, enough to afford rent and groceries. As lacklustre as modern child protective agencies can be, I am still glad that they exist - for the kids who come from situations of severe abuse who at least get out, away, with their futures still at least somewhat their own to create.
That mother let Gracie be abused and die....I can't imagine what Isaha went thru:(
Absolutely heartbroken for the children and what they had to endure because their own mother isn't a mother enough to protect them!! ...🥺😡
Then there's the other people who witnessed some of the incidents involving the cruel treatment of the children but nobody ever called the police??! ... I'm speechless and disgusted by this too!! 😤😡
He lifted her up by her hair and then dragged her and her bike into the house... you're not telling me that no-one heard that and looked out of the window??
@@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts Exactly!! ... WHY didn't anyone intervene? ... They could have done it anonymously if they'd have preferred! ...
It's not hard to make a call to the police or child protection to at least get a welfare check done... Something! ... Anything!!
It's better than the NOTHING that was done; which then led to the childs murder!! 🥺
Having aged out of the system these infuriate me! Having aged out of the system these cases have made me even more passionate to raise awareness. Having aged out of the system I am an advocate. Having aged out of the system I will be your voice.
Rest in Heaven baby girl… RIH💔🥺
I will never understand how a woman can grow her child for 9 months and feel ur baby growing and moving, having the very first bond then allowing some monster to come into ur childrens lives and doing to them what that monster did to that baby girl. Aint man EVER gonna be more important than my babies.
Wow, the fact that Chad was SO concerned about the possibility of developing seizures from going off his medication . . . deeply ironic. That's some karmic justice.
The judge specifically said that Kristi's sentences should be consecutive, not concurrent!! Why tf is that being ignored?? She let that dirtbag beat her daughter to death without so much as blinking an eye! (And, as other commenters pointed out, actively aided and abetted the abuse by hiding Gracie's injuries with makeup!) Less than ten years is nowhere near enough. Thank goodness she won't have the chance to ruin her third child's life like she did Isaiah's - or, God forbid, allow them to fall victim to the same fate as Gracie. Hope Isaiah and said child are well.
Also, not that Chad ever seemed like the brightest crayon in the box, but it seems really stupid to me that he got his case severed from Kristi's. If they had been tried together, I think the jury would've had a hard time proving her involvement as much as his, which might've meant an inability to agree on a verdict/lesser sentence/or something (not entirely sure how that works).
Great job as usual, Drewby and Yergy! Give your cats extra chin scritches for me!
Yergy and Drewby, you are the most empathetic true crime duo there is
ISIAH I REALLY HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY LIFE,.GRACIE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.🙏🙏🙏🙏
How delusional was the mother. She kept posting online how much she loves that evil, pathetic, despicable waste of space. What about her children, how did her love for her children stop. Sadly, we are seeing too many cases where the parent fails to protect their children from the abuser if they are not abusing them aswell. Poor children, my heart breaks how much fear, pain and loneliness they would have felt. They both should not be allowed any where near children again. R.I.P baby girl. You are safe now and flying with the other angels.
This world is so cruel. I was a child living a very traumatic life. I don't understand how adults hurt children. And then fact y'all ALWAYS have these to tell 😢😢
How could you watch a guy pick a toddler up by her HAIR and not call the Cops!! Who are these people 🤬🤬
Excellent delivery as always. Thank you Drewby & Yergy
Hello, and Thank You for sharing this Precious Baby's Heart Shattering Story. You both show so much Compassion, Gentleness, and Respect.
That so called mother needed life as well. Her name had no business being on that poor little girls headstone. I feel so sorry for the brother. He will be plagued by guilt for not protecting his sister. I pray they have him in therapy, for him to deal with not only losing his sister, but to deal with his trauma both these disgusting people put him thru. I'm hoping that prison justice takes care of these two.
It bothers me that they put 'daughter of Kristi' on the headstone. That woman wasn't a mother.
Hi you two! Thank you for being advocates for these precious babies!
Love how you read verbatim. Put things in perspective.
23:57 she said her injury’s were common for little girls?!!! Wtf kind of professional is that…They should not be able to get on the stand and lie like that …. That’s insane. Lawyers just shop around for a “expert” until they find one willing to lie? Is that how it works?
Their not meant to, but people still think swearing in the Bible is some magic spell that makes people tell the truth.
That mother wasn’t just neglectful she was complicit.
Hiding the bruises and never taking her daughter to the ER when she had seizures… she KNEW it was wrong and stayed with the POS.
The fact that the 'Mother' would cover her bruises in makeup instead of leaving that monster is so scary!
Poor baby girl 😔. I just can't imagine being so evil to an innocent child. I'll never understand it.
My brain hurts just from listening to Yergi doing an excellent job of deciphering the fb posts.
Seriously. Social media was a HUGE mistake!
Not even half way through and my blood is already boiling at both adults but more with the selfish mother I've seen stray cats with more compassion for their young then these people and I use people lightly uughh
Strange to hear you cover a local case to me. I’m a nurse and House supervisor but was not working at that hospital then. The paramedic, Kyle Fuller is someone I have worked with for years..he also married a good friend of mine. Such a small world
I always wonder if the neighbors & witnesses who *never reported what they saw* are here in the comments crying about how sad this is. If you see something SAY SOMETHING!!!
What a poor mother she was allowing these little kids to go through this.
2 little kids with these 2 monsters.
My god she was only intrested in her self.
I'm glad that both had long sentences. He should have been more in my opinion. She should not get out, she was just as guilty by ignoring what that evil so and so was doing to that beautiful little girl. I hope Isiah is OK, and has moved on in his life to good things.
I know i posted already butni have something to say about the epilepsy. My father beat my mother badly until she was able to get away from him when i was two. He hit her so hard one day that she was unconscious for 3days with one hit when she was about 7 months pregnant with me. It left a 3 inch scar on her left temporal lobe. It caused her to develop epilepsy and she lived with it until the day she died. Its more common to develop epilepsy by an injury to the head leaving a scar on the brain than it is to be born with it. I just wanted to put that out there bc doctors do not have a lot of info about it. There is more info now than it was back in the last 70s and even in the 90s. However it seems that these doctors are not to informed on epilepsy listening to the testimonies.
I honestly don't think the Mothers name should have been allowed on her headstone. Awful . Such a heartbreaking story. 💔
What is wrong with these people? The "mother" is just as guilty, maybe even more. It was her duty to take care of her children and see that this monster did not hurt them.
Wtf she will be out in a few years.THAT'S NOT JUSTICE.😢😢😢😢
Not guilty by reason of vagina
First time here, you all caught my attention on how you portrayed this little angels 👼 life.
Thank you
Why do people love pursuing spouses that graduated with a degree in Methmatics…
Thats gross🤮🤢
Because they are -messy- methy as hell themselves!
They Both Deserve LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE! She covered her Defenseless, Innocent Baby's Injuries with Makeup?? My God, that is Absolutely Horrifying!
I also wonder how this defense attorney can sleep at night….. he knows what they did…. I could NEVER defend that type of behavior
She agrees to pay 150k to the child’s estate? How does she come up with that cash?
This is such a sad story, but I giggled every time you read her posts. Ugh! The grammatical errors with no punctuation are so bad! ❤😊
"Her own writing is painful to read out loud." That cracked me up. I mean, WTH has our education system come to when grown adults cannot even begin to use real grammar?
Grace, a sweet angle among us. Bless the family with their loss of a sweet, beautiful little girl. Bless the families decision to donate her organist other children. Grace may have lost her life, but will continue to live in the children who received her organs.
You both always do such an amazing job telling us these precious children’s horrific stories. I just want to say thank you for giving them a voice, and showing the upmost respect and care as you tell us of the unimaginable pain these babies lived and died thru. I have never once seen either of you talk about this sort of thing and be disrespectful in any way. You’re both awesome. And it takes a real true coward to hit and beat a tiny little human. I’m sure he’ll get his just rewards in prison ❤
RIP sweet baby girl. I know Jesus has you in his arms now 🙏🏻
You two are always above and beyond with respect for these children, but I couldn't help but detect a little snark from Yergy in reference to the "mother's" FB messages. ❤ Well deserved 👏 I was right there with ya!
Some lawyers are POS! They would rather get their job done then get justice for a child...😢....it takes a heartless human who would lie to get his client off..smh
yeah i noticed that to i mean these cases are not like oh this person may have done it so lets look to prove he or she didnot those im more fine with than these POS that are saying stuff like what he did like what the fuck is this pos guy who says shit like clearly she fell
Quite the prize isn't exactly how anyone with eyes would describe Chad.
These events cause me so much sadness. I’ve went through these things and I am lucky to be alive!
I've heard so many stories where there is this complicity of the spouse in the abuse of their kids. And themselves. It's crazy. You'd think that level of depravity only happened in movies.
I hope her son never has to endure such horror again, and that he somehow found a way to move forward. Thoughts and prayers for him 🙏🙏❤
I enjoy the way you’ll read posts and texts from these people without correcting anything. You can see how absolutely ignorant these people are, people who can hurt and allow others to hurt children. Always classy.
It's terrible what people become when the thin veneer of civilisation isn't there.
The mother is just as sick as this piece of trash. Letting this happen is unforgivable and heartbreaking. Such a beautiful little girl 😢 rip little angel 👼 ❤❤❤❤❤
