Please give it a watch after this video and help us grow the new channel. On this new channel we won't be covering any cases involving children.
❤Drewby + Yergy
Hi Misery Machine just sending a shout out while watching,God bless you guys saying hi to 😘😘😘 Prada 🐈 😺 😺 too 🙏🙏🫶🫶
Awesome, that's what I came to check for. Seems like your trying to get this one pulled. Thought that title last week would have done it. Lol
Do I need to switch the patron or does it just go to you guys either way?
@Amber McHugh Our patreon is the same one for both channels, no need to make any changes. Thank you so much for your support Amber!!
I forgot you had a second channel... Or I didn't know previously
The fact that he was dealing with such extreme abuse yet had no behavioral problems at school, had a smile on his face, and was so loved by everyone shows what a strong kid he was 😢 rest in peace.
🥺😢😭😭. That poor little kid 😭. He was probably so happy when he was at school. I wish he could’ve been saved from those scumbags
After watching numerous videos covering abused children ive noticed a pattern. All most always the kids who experience such extremes show kindness to the people around them, especially other children. If you think about it a kid raised up in such an abusive home has to assume thats normal behavior so others must be suffering the same as they are. So I guess they try to share kindness with others so that theres at least one time to look forward to. I bet Caden was so brokenhearted to have school taken from him, it was the one bright spot in his life and to him school must have seemed like Heaven on earth.
Yes this broke my heart n shed tears for the innocent child. His class gave him respite n despite his anguish he enjoyed it very much. Children have such resilience that we adults under estimate.
@@lynneburridge9082 Its strange that when these kids are living in such a hellish environment that they are able to show so much kindness to others and then when they become adults many of them become the monster they used to hide from. I suspect theres some point between childhood and adulthood that if they receive the right kind of love and support they can get past that hell and have a happy life. If they dont get that love and support they grow into monsters. There just has to be a fork in their road
He was probably scared shitless and didn't want to say a word because he knew the "dude" would kill him!!!!!!!!!!!
She called police when he hit her … but rolled over and slept when he abused her son. Disgrace!
💯💯💯💯
Couldn't say it any better!!!
Not dv, fights over drugs. Happens between drug buddies all the time.
@@devianadkar7969 the report said dv but drugs is a good theory. They are the worst
Evil mother
Every child with an "old soul" has suffered trauma and abuse. You learn to be "more mature" because you stop trying to find help and pretend like it's fine. I would know. RIP Caden.
Unfortunately, I do too
Hey I know you wrote this like 3 months ago but whoever you are I'm sending you strength. You're not alone
This isn't about you.
@@measlesplease1266Why can one who suffered similar nightmares not express their depth of understanding?
Please explain why you would say that, thank you.
@@Steve-Cro-Magnon-Man because it isn't so black and white. It's also pompous to relate yourself to something and say that is why you are better than others for it. An old soul can come about for many reasons. And I've been there. It isn't even the beginning. Most people have traumas. And most people aren't old souls.
He was happy at school because he felt safe and was away from the monsters of “parents” .. what a tragedy you can tell he was smart beyond his years by how educators described him.
Exactly, been there.
Trauma makes us grow up fast...but emotionally stunted :(
Yeah definitely, my home life wasn't physically abusive or anything extreme after my mom left my dad to remarry, but it was bad enough. I know during that time I had panic attacks, just at home, so I got like a reverse agoraphobia. I loved being any of the places I went that weren't home, woke up happy and rearing to go every morning, happy to go to school, loved being there.
my school marked me as "emotional disability" i stil have no idea what it means@@elliebreedlove
I still don’t understand how people can murder someone else and not get life in prison or the death penalty. These parents should have gotten a worse punishment
Plea deal!!!
@@tessaducek5601 they should be denied that and left to plea in a cell or on a chair. If it was a true accident then a plea deal would be granted but if they did this on purpose (which they did) then the only pleading they should be allowed to do is from their cell. Just my opinion though. I find our criminal system very inconsistent
@@tessaducek5601 on a different video I commented about having punishment be eye for an eye. I think these two should be put in dog kennels and left in their jail cells to rot. Have them taken out once or twice a day for daily beatings, then put back into their dog kennel. Water would be one small bowl for the day and food would be a piece of rotting fruit or moldy bread. Then whenever they pass (possibly several weeks or months) then their bodies can be incinerated and tossed like trash. My family thinks I’m some Fidel Castro impersonator but our system isn’t harsh enough against criminals
Because in the eyes of the law, property and finance is more valuable than human life.
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480 depends on what type of property. Animals are considered property (except in Oregon) and if a human hurts/tortures an animal then they get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again
The teachers know they saw signs of abuse. They’re not blind. If you see a 27 pound 7 year old walking around call the police!! RIP Caden ❤
That's why parents pull children out of school, he didn't weigh 27 pounds when he was still in public school
@@shaylatorch truly sad
@@aubreannagal , indeed
My baby girl is 7 and almost 5feet and very slim like her father. She eats all the time but it's just her build. Long skinny legs arms and fingers. Her fingers are actually longer than mine. Depends but she's definitely not 27lbs.
Exactly.
I can't believe that the school saw no signs of abuse. As a retired elementary teacher I have had call protective services many times and it is a whole process with the law. This little boy DID NOT come to school everyday all "smiles and happiness"!!! Especially with all the injuries he had! These school officials were lying as they did nothing to report and help this child. Oh but now they put up a tree.
I agree with you: I can't fathom they didn't know. I will say, on their behalves, that I grew up in a highly abusive home, and my school pictures show me with a shy smile, but my sister always had the biggest smile in the classroom. The principal always gave her the nice teachers, so she loved school. She was always standing tall and smiling big, surrounded by much more bored-looking classmates. Still, we both had been taught to always look happy if we didn't want a beating from our mother. Mom angrily made fun of the timid way I walked, until I straightened my back and quickened my pace. I suspect that the boy was very quiet and filled with shy smiles most of the time, tears some of the time, and the reason the boy's classmates said "Sit by me!" is because they realized that the teacher knew he was being mistreated and felt sorry for him.
School officials don't know unless it was shoved in their faces. I dealt with abuse (mental, physical, emotional AND psychological. Taking on after school activities and being happy doesn't put question on u and you don't have to deal with extra abuse while waiting on something to happen. I had liquid soap poured down my.throat while being told that they loved me while yelling me I'd be put in child care and I'd never habe the things I do and that i need to be thankful ans grateful for what i jabe. I ran away mutliple times. I also told the schools, police, other asults and noone believed me because my parents were soo nice and did so much for the community and kept a nice home. These things get looked over all the time. They even put me thru 10 years of cpunselprs and eveey single one believed i had behavior problems and lied about abuse to get attention.
Yes, a tree along with “lots of color to represent the DIVERSITY at the school.”
She had to make it about the alphabet mafia.
@@chakkakonwhat are you talking about 😂 I don’t see an pride flag anywhere. why are people like you always searching for reasons to bring up lgbtq people.
@@erinoliviakisiel4739(HUG)
Our 'justice' system is a disgusting joke. They arrest 2 people for cutting down some stupid TREE yet give these two a slap on the wrist for torturing a child to death.
It makes zero sense
i think you mean cents
How many of us would have taken that sweet precious boy into a safe and loving home. I'm so sorry, baby.
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat. And Caden would’ve been treated as though I carried & birthed him
@@annamarie2754then go adopt a child
@@quirkya909go adopt a child then. They need a loving home
Same thought I've always had! Especially when you hear of the newborn babies left in bushes n bathrooms. It's just insane.
I'm 54 and single, but would still treasure a baby in my home!
The death penalty should be imposed on these sort of scumbags
I totally agree with you seanDelap.😢😢😢
She was no momma
Because they made a plea.
Na death penalty isn’t necessary ever . Makes us just as bad as them. It’s not our right to make the decision on when someone dies no matter who they are . Life in prison is also a better punishment
@@kadeelacayo4806- Huh? Putting someone down that’s a menace to society is “JUST AS BAD” as someone who kills an innocent child?
All adults say about abused kids is how, 'quiet' the kid was, how nice and polite they were... because the kids don't want more abuse... but the other kids would have known something was off, but their only told to 'tell an adult'... and adults tend to not believe kids... which is frustrating and heart-breaking.
I think its horrific that people can have a kid say "i think somethings wrong with so and so" and NOT listen. Kids are observant and smarter than we give credit for. If a kid says something is wrong you should listen even if it seems improbable to you.
I remember a story from years ago that a little girl kept telling parents and teachers that one of her friends DIDNT fall down the stairs and break her arm. This other child was clumsy so everyone brushed it off...except one teacher. This teacher got the other girl in the room and asked about her arm. When told that someone said she didnt fall the girl broke down in tears and admitted her stepdad slammed her arm with a piece of concrete while laying her arm on the floor for dropping a bowl. That stepfather was investigated and arrested and several women he had dated/married before the girl's mom came out saying that their children ALSO had odd injuries but that they had been told by both him and their children that they were childhood playtime accidents(fell off the bed, tripped and broke their nose etc). Turns out he had a history of abusing kids and noone knew until the little girl's friend finally found an adult to listen.
Ever since i heard this story ive been HYPER aware of how and what kids say
@@pandapies6703 When I was 5/6 there was a girl who would stand with her face in the corner of a wall ALL break times, and we would try an get her out to play, we even asked the teacher why she was so sad. we just got told something like "She's not feelign well today"... yeah... not well = being raped by her farther and brother at the age of 6... I think they finally got arrested when we were 15. :S... thing is, she was a really nice girl, but we lost touch in high school.
@@BaneHuntress im so glad you tried to include her and not make her feel different for her behavior. I hope (as you probably do) that shes doing well i wish you guys had adults that didnt just think she didn't feel good. She was probably so scared of others and being touched at all from her house life(cause it doesn't sound like a home) that she didnt know school kids won't hurt her that way. Im glad they were arrested.
@@BaneHuntress That poor baby. Why are people like that?
@@SewardWriter who knows :S
My grandfather used to say wild animals treat their young better than humans. I didn't understand that until I became an adult & had my own children. Sadly he was so right.
Your grandfather was right no truer words humans disgust me
I was just thinking the same. I think the person worded it incorrectly
Let us break those chains of generational trauma
I just dont understand how a mother can hear her baby cry out in distress and do nothing but _lay in bed._
These aren’t mothers… they are incubators
Apparently she didn't love her son
Some women have post natal phycosis and post natal depression. Saying that the women I know who have post natal depression still hold their child try to get support, he'll I'm 29 and both my mum and mil still to this will run whenever something happens to me. There are people struggling to have children or they decide nott o have biological children for whatever reason. We would love to give all our love security and joy to a child. This is why I always knew I wanted to foster esp older and disabled children. It's so painful to process. Children really are such blessings hands down. They are priceless
I’m sure the heroine was a factor
@@soomysaleem351Tired of hearing this excuse.
Another case involving waste of space parents there's no shortage of that in the world unfortunately
There seems to be an ever increasing amount of them too. 🙁
Cases like this remind me that we need to legalize abortion and sexual health care needs to be more accesible to those who need education. More needs to be done. We have too many parentless children in this world suffering
This problem is primarily a United States problem. Maybe canada and UK too. we are the worst countries for abusing and killing our children and it's down to drug use and the breakdown of the nuclear family.
@@lisabelle7553 All countries have history of child abuse. It's not only in western countries. Look at India for example where girls are killed more than boys because of the dowry system. You think the west has it worse because they make their cases more public
Legalized abortions used as a form of repeated contraception for promiscuous people and legalized mercy killing only lessens the sacredness of human life, and only serves to make humans expendable, example, forced slave labor, child labor, forced marriage etc. etc.
There are no excuses for a mother to allow her own child to suffer like that. These parents are absolutely disgusting.That poor little boy RIP. So sad 😢
Exactly. I'm sick of people having sympathy for these abusive monsters just because they're a woman.
This was so incredibly sad. That poor child. He deserved a family that would love him. Just like every single child does.
My oldest son (11 yo) and I were kicking a soccer ball around the other day, and I accidentally kicked it right into his face. He ended up laughing it off, but I felt awful. The fact that these monsters can do such harm to a child is disgusting. They're the type that deserve to be tossed feet first into a wood chipper.
Thank you for covering these heinous stories, TMM.
I believe the drugs are depleating dopamine, seratonine etc. So it messes up emotions and perhaps make you careless and lose empathy. So I guess they dont think like normal maybe they dont really feel anything at all
Oh my goodness! Something like that happen to me once! I was helping my son practice lacrosse and I tried throwing the ball into the goal but hit my son in face and he dropped to the ground, I felt HORRIBLE!
My son & I were in a car accident which wasn't my fault. My son broke his wrist & I felt guilty about it. I can't understand how anyone much alone so called parents can intentionally abuse & kill their own. Pure evil is the only explanation.
Yes, Been there👍🏽
It's a shame that it happened to this guy instead: th-cam.com/video/dYlACxoQyfo/w-d-xo.html
I’ve always wondered why the safe haven drop off spots were only for children 0-90 days old. There’s too many cases where children older than this simply weren’t wanted by their parents and maybe if they’d had a place to drop them off safely, some of those children could be alive today. I know foster care isn’t ideal, but I’d much, MUCH rather have a baby or child go to foster care than have them abused and/or killed. RIP Caden. 🙏🏻❤️🕊😔
I never thought of that before. Safe haven laws should be expanded. I think some people are fearful that they will be prosecuted for abandonment.
Unfortunately many children have been un-alived & @bused by foster & adoptive parents too
At least they might stand a chance.
Regardless of safe haven laws, a parent can call CPS and ask for help or relinquish custody of their child. However, parents like these aren't willing to let go of the control they have over their victim. Changing the safe haven laws to young child, or even teenager, isn't going to change the outcome for kids like Caden. These laws only work for parents who feel they are in over their heads, who feel they can't raise a child, and want to give that child a chance at a better life
Or ya know, care enough to prevent pregnancy. You still don’t get it
In the city I live in years ago a couple encased their little girl in a galvanized trash can they filled with cement. For 5 years they kept that trash can with them...moving it from one place to another when they moved. The grandmother finally reported to police not having been allowed to see her granddaughter for 5 years and that's what lead to them being caught.
Omg
Case names?
@@Jayleenyc I don't know their name. I tried a while back to research it on internet and couldn't come up with anything. I'm not real good at technology. But it's Canton Ohio...not real sure of the year. If I remember correctly the child was maybe 1 1/2 to 2 years.
5 years is ridiculous for nobody to ask questions
I have to say, as someone with ADHD, i truly appreciated the change in voices every so often. It kept my attention, unlike other TH-camrs who talk the whole time, i tend to lose my focus and start doing something else. Besides True Crime shows that have multiple people talking, I have not been able to pay attention to anything else until now. Thank you for this and thank you for all of the information and research that you put into telling us of Caden.
ADHD? Look up Dr. Christopher Exley. He believes that heavy metals may cause ADHD and many other health problems. He says to drink 1 liter of silica rich Figi water within 1 hour for 13 days to detox aluminum and other heavy metals. I do it a few times a year. Dr. Dennis Crouse has created a recipe for "silica water". It's cheap, easy and effective. Good luck.
Amen! Keeps my attention as well. They earned a new subscriber bc of it!
If you torture your child.... you need to be tortured in the same manner! Sorry but that's how I feel, That poor child!
I know what you mean, but that means,another person is carrying out those punishments and that would probably cause mental issues.
I feel the same way. If an adult can ab**e/to**ure a child they themselves should suffer the same or even worse ab**e/to**ure. I don't feel bad in any way for feeling like this either.
I agree
Yes yes YES.... I always have an always will say this. An plenty of people could an sleep soundly i know i could. Im the most caring lovejng person in the world..... Unless you deserve otherwise like harming a child ~my child or family or an innocent vulnerable person or animal. Then i can be outright evil an i wouldn't 100% do to people like this the exact same thry did to their beautiful amazing innocent baby. God it makes me so so dam angry ❤
That attitude probably goes against TH-cams policy.
I’m sorry, the DA should have NEVER given those two pieces of human filth a plea deal!! Her “excuse” that it would’ve been extremely difficult to prosecute since the manner of death couldn’t be determined. Um…a 7 year old little boy wouldn’t lock himself inside a small dog carrier/cage, starve himself, or injured himself drastically!
I hope those two demons are receiving “prison justice” every single day and night!! May that sweet little angel rest peacefully in his eternal slumber!
The DA is just a dressed up piece of shit. ""So the community heals"" wtf, nobody heals from this.
He sure didn't encase himself in cement either! Hopefully monster "dad" will die in prison and never see the light as a free man. Poor Caden, how he suffered. 😭
@@beverlylargent5580 I’m right with you on this. I hope his life is a living Hell behind bars, as well as the “thing” that had given birth to Caden. They BOTH deserve every single thing they get while in prison, then they have Satan to deal with when they die, and I hope that they enjoy what’s coming to them when they meet Satan.
@@toniremer1594 I read that Caden lived with his maternal grandma until he was 5. Her last name was the same as his. Too bad he couldn't stay with her. Also Caden's sister is severely traumatized by what happened to her brother. She would feed him through the bars of the kennel. I pray she is getting help, love, and has caring ppl all around her. She was four when she saw her brother being beaten and starved.
Yeah that part didn't make any sense to me
He was probably so happy to be at school because it was the only place he was safe and given care.
As a teacher I always used to try and do 2 things, watch the response of kids coming into school and also how eager they were to leave at the end of the day if I kept my classroom and study area open for after school time. 😢
When abuse starts so young they believe its normal. All the pain he had to endure. Saddening
I had to put my pet turkey down earlier this week, I raised her and her sister from babys. I’m still teary eyed. We are farm people. I can not wrap my mind around people who can do that to kids, THERE OWN KID. I’ve used myself, never wanted to hurt a person, child or animal. Hope y’all’s cats are doing well. ❤
I'm 3 years and 5 months clean off heroin and meth, I understand what your saying.
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480 I'm not sure what that has to do with pet turkey or the farm but I do congratulate you on your recovery. 👏👏👏👏
@@hastyhillfarmand4x480 please don't do it ever again.
I am sorry. Turkeys are such wonderful pets.
Its unfortunate how so many parents can do this to their children.
Kids can test ones nerves but abuse and murder? Never ever should enter ones mind. I am also appauld by those who withhold food. I struggled financially raising mine. So they ate. I would eat the free breakfast donuts at work and made sure to buy dinner for my kids with tip money. Kids need to eat.
@hastyhillfarmand4x480 congrats!!! I've hit 8 years and 1 month! We got this!
They were in a motel/hotel, and no one heard a child being hurt, cry, or scream? I find that hard to believe. May Caden Rest in Peace.
Well it really doesn’t matter if you find it hard to believe. It’s what happened
Sadly hotel motel workers gear and see alot of questionable stuff so often they likely are desensitized to alot of things in a way that it becomes normalized and they may not see everything as a red flag . Those are places people tend to be loud or different then at home already... I think they should be trained to determine and see abuse so many people fleeing or hiding from police hide at these places it should be common sense. Sadly common sense isnt common at all.
I once heard questionable noises come from a public bathroom at hospital...I mentioned it to adults/staff and visitor and got the, mind your business thing, guy was probably just disciplining the little girl...not what it sounded like.
Probably a motel where everyone was drugged up. People don't get involved when they are also breaking the law 😒
@@ambermay7698people turn a blind eye and ear when stuff like this happen. When I was a child, I’d go to my older cousins house. She had custody of a child but she abused her.. she was only 2-3 maybe. I was maybe 8-10 I think. Now that I’m an adult, I’m sure that’s what it was. My cousin would pinch her, step on her stomach with some pressure but not enough to cause her cry. So messed up. I wonder if she’s ok now
Couldn’t even finish. This boy was adorable the pic alone makes me want to cry. He tried to be happy but his life was cut short. That precious little boy 😢
I cant imagine the horror those medical examiners had to do instead of enjoying christmas evening. They will probably never experience christmas the same way. This case is absolutely horrendous
I hope their fellow prisoners watch this and do the right thing to these baby killers.
A lot of us wish that for them, but jails are run tightly now. At least, that's what I hear. Monsters that do this to kids need to have no limit to the punishment dished out to them, inside or outside of prison.
@Euclidus Chaumeau I'm sure that prisoners have access to what other prisoners are in for and they get access to cellphones(illegally). I really hope these freaks arent getting a moments peace.
@@DOYLERULES69X all it takes is a call home to see why someone is in…
Also, some guards just can’t be on watch 24/7:)
You'd be surprised how the info on these monsters gets out. Other inmates loathe these kind of prisoners and will give them what is due to them. Don't forget karma has no boundaries.
Yep oh don't think that those guards won't drop a dime on those inmates. Don't forget they have kids to. Some of these you tuber's that's been in prison talks about that how those guards be dropping that information.
From what I've learned talking to... well, lots of abuse victims, frankly (and being one myself), "old soul" is basically code for suffering. Which is to say, lots of kids who have "old souls" only seem that way because they've had to grow up faster as a result of abuse and/or neglect. Wish people would take that into account much more frequently - that if a kid seems significantly more mature for their age than their peers, that's a red flag.
Hit too close to home there friend. Hit the nail on the head.
Absolutely agree with you & I have said the same thing many times ...
From a mature old soul.
Definitely agree with you on that one….from an old soul
Preach! I was always told I was an old soul - I say no - its called growing up fast to survive.
I never thought of that but that Is so true
I just watched a press conference with Sheriff Grady Judd from Polk County FL where parents let their 3 yr old son, who is braindead due to drowning at 10 months old, literally rot in his bed for months. His ulcers were so bad that his spine was literally visible and he was in the state of decomposition yet STILL ALIVE!
I hope you can cover the tragic horiffic situation here on your channel as i know you'll do right by the little guy in spreading word about his life and horrific death.
Why was he still "alive" after 2 years of being brain dead if they werent going to take care of him?. Its expensive and costly to keep someone in that state alive.
Omfg!! 😤 horrific.
I'm sorry but he could not have been braindead foe that long. Let alone without medical intervention. If you are braindead, in order for you to be kept clinically alive you would have to be constantly on a ventilator and IV medications. And even with that we are talking about a few weeks top. He was probably suffering some anoxic brain damage but deffinatly not braindead.
I've always dreamed of being a mommy one day but seem to be unable to due to fertility issues. It kills me ans further breaks me apart when i hear these stories of people blessed with life's best precious gift yet and destroy it. It's beyond unforgivable.
I truly pray you'll be a mother one day, I wish you the very best. And I agree with you, I'll just never understand how nature allows absolutely horrible people to get pregnant when theres women who don't, who would be amazing mothers and wish nothing else in the world than the privilege of becoming a mom. That's why I don't think just birthing a child makes you a mom, you have to be a maternally loving human, and there's just so many women out there who dont love their children that are mom's and they shouldn't be! And these abusive mothers defend themselves saying "I love my child" but they literally don't even know what it means to love a child, it's not 'love' when you don't even care enough to take proper care of or mistreat your child in any way! Urggh sorry for going off, it just riles me up! No child should be abused, children are pure of heart and deserve love!
Honestly you never know what the future may bring. I had my first child after 6yrs of 'trying'. My next child came after 20yrs of NOT trying. 😅
Yeah, my kids are 20yrs apart, I was 46yrs old, and the child is perfect. You just never know unless the necessary organs are gone/missing.
You can always adopt if you really want a child! You'll get to be a mom and give a child that's already here a loving home (possibly saving it from a horrorstory like this). Basically a 2 for 1 deal of good things. Too many people seem to forget that adoption is an available option.
I agree there definitely needs to be a law to allow older children to be dropped off. I fully support
Me too!!
I agree my my bio dad and my step mom lost my baby sisters to a foster home my baby sister was sexually assaulted in one of her foster homes my step mom ended up getting the girls back and my step mom saw Many signs that something happened to my baby sister she showed many signs and bc of her trama in the foster home and she was very young at the time about 6 when that happened to her well she had so many outbursts bed wetting and all by the age 11/12 well my step mom didn't get her help and she couldn't handle her so she ended up abandoning my baby sister and because of that my step mom was arrested for abandonment if they would not charge someone to be able to drop of unwanted kids so many kids could be saved from abuse and even death by a parent or guardian so I 100% agree with you on this one.
It's called "Voluntary relinquishment of parental rights" and yes it's legal to give away an older child.
You can take kids to cps and tell them you want to sign over your rights.
You can.
This sickens me right to the core. That poor innocent child, suffering so much and still smiling, making other people happy. It breaks my heart that the world lost such a precious soul.
@catkiller get a life loser .
Thats how it is
Good seems to be targeted truly. My whole life i have witnessed evil win, over and over again. My daughter Lydia Ann Castaneda was the target of evil too, Kenna Dufresne took her away and has been hiding her from me for 14 years now.. My daughter Lydia Ann Castaneda was taken away from me when she was only 9 months old. Her father Nathan Marcotte tried to strangle me one night but Lydia screamed. He decided to take her upstairs telling me to stay there (on the living room floor). But I ran down the street to a bar crying for 911. The cops got to me and we went back to the house and both he and Lydia were gone. The cops had to go out and find them and the owner of the apartment his mother Kenna Dufresne. They found Kenna and Lydia and Nathan, Nathan was threatening to jump off a bridge with Lydia and grabbed Lydia from him and arrested him. All in police records in Lincoln RI. The police brought Lydia to me and Kenna to the house and left us there after telling me about the bridge incident. Then Kenna asks "what are you going to do now? You can't stay here, you can't go back to his father's, and Lydia can't stay on the streets." I said I don't know.. she added "she can stay with me. Write a letter giving me temporary guardianship and dcyf won't have to get involved." That was alarming but she got convincing and I finally wrote the letter. We got it notorized and I left the house.. I went straight to Exeter job corps Academy to get on my feet as fast as possible!! But she filed abandonment charges and got dcyf involved. A social worker got involved and she was not interested in hearing anything from me at all. Insisted that I only cared about myself, I did not deserve my daughter she said. It took months to get to the court date and I brought that letter. The charges were dropped the minute the judge read it. Then the social worker took Kenna down to the second floor of the Providence court house and got "permission to leave the state with Lydia." Without needing my permission. And she did, she left the state with my daughter! The courts said they couldn't do anything, the police claimed giving her temporary guardianship basically gave her the right to keep her forever, literally no one believes that yet that is exactly what they told me in RI. I tried to find her myself and hired a PI. The private investigator said she saw a picture of my daughter on social media and it was at a restaurant in Liberty Main, it had a bulldog on a wall inside but that was all she could get as far as her whereabouts. Kenna has been refusing any form of contact for the entire 14 years. Except for a recent incident where she had asked me for $300 still refusing contact. she's 15 years old and never once did we get to even speak to each other and she should be home with me! I have sent Kenna Dufresne my number my address I never changed the number I have had since, 4012047691, I sent this to Kenna Dufresne constantly, constantly, she's even had my profiles reported for harassment just refusing to let my baby come back home! I need this to get out there, Lydia needs to know her mom is fighting for her! Please share this everywhere, please help me reach my daughter! 🙏
Poor lil’ boy never stood a chance with these two monsters. RIP young boy. 😢
Shame on the DA for plea dealing. These monsters need to be prosecuted for the crime they committed
I am in tears for this little boy. I can't understand why no one in the family questioned where he was. As a mother, I would do anything to protect my child. They are both monsters, and they should never get out of jail. R.I.P. little angel Caden 🙏 💙 💛 💜 🧚♂️
Unfortunately they probably don't see other members of their family that often. If only one of them had been able to get involved. If I didn't see some of my family for a month or so when I was little no one would question it now that I'm older I am getting to know some of them.
100% no grandparents auntie uncle's disgrace 😢
I cried too for little Caden. What a horror. My prayers are with Caden's soul.
Time for a new prosecutor in this town. A case like this should never have been pled down.
Democrat DA? Imagine letting someone out after finding a dead body in their storage unit etf?
@@LoveratLoves A state DA is a well-oiled machine. You think one person's political preference makes all the difference? Republicans are so myopic.
@joeldejonge2986 This DA is obviously incompetent. It has nothing to do with political party.
I can see the logic in why they offered plea deals. You can tell that the DA didn't want to have those plea deals, but she also knew that without a cause of death to confirm, doubt could form with a jury, which the opposing side could foster. That could have (likely) resulted in much lighter sentences. The plea deals seem to have been the best option they had to secure a punishment. It's not ideal, but those 30 and 70+ years in jail are better than getting some light sentence like 5 or so years for a lesser charge. Again, it's not ideal, but it does seem like the DA wanted a more severe punishment for these monsters, and wanted something to stick rather than risking a lighter sentence.
@@joeldejonge2986 thats what i was going to say - why does it always have to come down to someone's political leanings as the first thing to blame? unless its obvious like that nonsense that happened with Judge Cannon in the mar a lago case
Pulling a kid early to “homeschool” him is never a good sign.
Caden reminds me of myself. I experienced abuse as a little kid and teachers loved me being around them and never once questioned the wounds and bruises. This story is so depressing, I can not imagine how people can do such horrible things to children just because they exist.
That boy lost his life at the hands of his caregivers...it hurt to hear this story knowing it could have been my fate as well. All these stories could have been prevented with the proper services and care by professionals and the intervening if necessary. His death could have been prevented but people turned away and ignored the signs most likely because he was a 'happy boy'.
Let this be a lesson always follow your instincts, if something feels off.. it most likely is.
I should make it clear, if a person kills another person they deserve to face life long prison time or death for taking the life of someone else.
I was cutting my sons toe nails earlier, I accidentally caught his skin and he bled a tiny bit. I felt terrible and had to fight back tears. He wasn’t bothered, but damn I still feel bad. How anyone can do this to their child is utterly beyond my understanding
Not only how but WHy?! 😢
Narcissists have a heart of stone.
@@lesliefrench2227 Becoz she was cutting his toenails.
Cutting my toenails is a pain in the ass, esp. the big toe. Somehow the keratin of the nail is tougher.
@@hoibsh21 that’s why they tortured and killed him? What are you talking about?!
I don't have kids and was never really interested in having them, but it just baffles me that these people treated their own child so horribly. And the pictures shown of abused kids always show them smiling brightly at the camera and looking adorable. There are people who can't have kids who would do anything to have a kid like Caden, and these breeders get to have kids that they truly don't deserve.
💯💯💯💯
Nobody asked if you had kids
@@ambermay7698 and nobody asked for you to keep with the smart ass comments but yet here we are

There is a place in Hell for those evil people that are abusing and killing their babies and they will REAP WHAT THEY HAVE DONE ON THIS EARTH FOR ETERNITY….
27 pounds? 😢 My son is 7 and small for his age and still weighs double. This entire story is so heartbreaking, especially more-so because I’m from Aurora. Thanks so much to you both for bringing so much awareness to crimes against children. ❤ These stories just break my heart
Ikr! My cat is 13 lbs.
My daughter is 7. Tall and skinny and she weighs 56lbs
My son is 2 and a half and weighs 30lbs
Right. A 7 year old should at least weight 50. My son is 7. He will be 8 at the end of this month. He weighs 64lbs. So sad! Poor boy! I am really starting to hate this world.
My ONE YEAR OLD SON weighs 21 pounds
Homeschooling out of the blue should be a huge red flag 🚩 there needs to be laws where a homeschooling family should be evaluated routinely.
Public school teachers should go through the same.
Absolutely, this is just an advantage for murderers to kill their kids.
@@juliejones974they are lol if you want to access an evaluation you can probably contact the school district. It's unfortunate only some states require home school evaluations
one rotten apple doesnt justify government intrusion. people like this are going to do this stuff no matter what. they are evil.
I was home schooled for a year in the 90s. They checked on me. This was in Missouri.
imagine calling the police when your a whole murderer with a hidden body of a child
I wonder how many kids just disappear by the hands of their parents and nobody notices.
They notice, but they just don't care.
I'm so sick of these people abusing children!😢
Who puts and allows they're 7 or 8 year old in a dog crate? I wouldn't even put my dog in a crate. WTF? I hope they're kept in their cages the same way they did poor Kaden. RIP throw away the key for both of these evil people.
I mean I crate my dogs when I’m away to keep them safe and because I’ve had to replace many high ticket items due to my dogs being naughty…. But never a child. That’s just sickening.
RIGHT?!? 100% AGREE
Drug addicts who have Lost their mind
And victimized by people just like them
I never ever crated my dog
that little boy was literally tortured to death by his father, unbelievable. his suffering is unimaginable, starving, broken bones, locked in a cage. he is in heaven now, playing, being loved.
Sounds like he was a wonderful kiddo, and this is a real loss for our society. He didn’t deserve this
She's worse to me because she could've left and did right by her kids. She had no excuse. She had a job, resources etc to leave her abusive husband. Instead she leaves the kids with him while she escapes to the office all day/night & continues with him. She could've skipped town or got into a program that would help her get housing, child care and the dang divorce. 🙄 My mom uprooted us when her ex kept hurting her. By the time he found us her new man (my step dad) had ran him off like the cow@rd he was.
@@checkherkoolchick452 Yes! I thought about that too. He had to be weak minded because on paper she was doing better than him. Most of these stories when the mothers are @bused they usually have limited resources or no jobs/family. She had more than enough to take her kids and get mental help as well. She joined in and escaped when he turned his anger on her. I see plenty saying how bad he is but she's way worse to me. She chose herself & her man over her kids.
It sounds just like my MIL. She worked afternoon type jobs, on purpose, so she could leave her dysfunctional home life. Unfortunately, she would leave behind her 4 very young children in the care of a drunk & violently abusive father. The stories my hubby tells would make your hair curl. She KNEW that he was drunk, often passed out, & violent. There were broken bones, kids driven drunk, hours of unsupervised hell. My FIL even left my hubby when he was just a little 4 yr old at a park miles away because he was too high/drunk to remember to collect ALL 4 kids. My husband talks about lying in bed crying, while waiting for his mommy to come home - never understanding that she purposefully left them so 'she didn't go crazy' dealing with the situation. Horrible excuse for a mother. She had a job & lots of family that would have helped them. her excuse? "she didn't want to hear I told you so" from her mother (concerning her choice in husband). Needless to say - we have nothing to do with these monsters.
@@pattyhansen7563 Exactly! If anything grab your kids and go!
I can't imagine the feelings that go through y'alls mind and heart reading over these stories. I wish you all the best with mental health. Thank you for all your hard work on entertaining us and informing us.
I am a survivor of this type of lifestyle, it's hard. I'm okay now, but yeah, these stories are insane.. my heart goes out to all the victims.. I sometimes have survivors guilt due to all the death yet I'm still here. Why can't they still be here?.. That's just something I'll never be able to wrap my head around completely. It's a sick world out there and we just have to keep moving on, if we become weak, we don't survive. This is why I keep a strong mindset, why we all have to. These days you can't go out without a weapon, I carry one. Be careful with your own mental health too and don't forget to take care of yourself. Be safe out there.
My background was like that, too. I managed to forgive them am left to wonder why, if they were to be assigned to me as family, why they weren't entrusted to me as my children instead, so I might have nurtured them beyond ever considering comitting the mistakes they made.
Alas, some sociopathy is genetic & beyond our control.
The same as yours when you hear them....
@@LoriKasprzak-yk6nc Mistakes?? Are you serious? This was a deliberate act of evil partly caused by the influence of drugs! This was no mistake. It was an intentional act!
This makes me so sad. When I hear stories like this I can't imagine any of my 4 children being harmed in anyway..
I know yall probably get comments like this a lot but I am really happy I came across your channel. We all really appreciate how you guys don't try to make these harrowing crimes entertaining (like how some people do mukbangs and stuff while talking about these things) and y'all go above and beyond when it comes to not spreading misinformation and yall even donate. I think it's important for people to know about things like this, but y'all really stand out from the rest of crime channels. Thanks so much for all yall do
Thank you so much!!
I absolutely agree that there should be “safe haven” for older children. Too many kids die at the hands of their parents from neglect or worse. The idea may be difficult to put in place but if we can save the life is a child then we should give it a go.
He was truly a beautiful child. I hope his sister is with a family who loves her and gives her a happy life. There are not words to describe how horrific this situation is. His mother and father deserve the same treatment as they gave their son.
I hate seeing cases like this. I’m sure there are plenty of people in the community that would’ve been happy to look after Caden 😢
I can’t wrap my mind around this story. The cruelty abuse. I would die protecting my children. Child abusers are a different breed. To torture and hurt someone that cannot protect themself. Breaks my heart.
These stories are a testament to the innocence and light of children. Even if they are horrifically treated and abused, they still are typically described as being kind, sweet, loving, and friendly. The purity of childhood is astounding. The people who are responsible for snuffing out the light of these beautiful souls are pure evil.
it's not purity or light or innocence or any of that bullshit lmfao, it's probably fear because if they showed any sort of malcontent at home they'd get their ass beat
@@griffy9639or they react well to the slightest bit of empathy and intentional positive guidance
Wow two min squad. If anyone is a praying person please send prayers for my mom, her heart stopped and she was without pulse for 40min. Logically I know brain damage ECT but I can't let go right now.

🙏🙏🙏 in 2015 my mom collapsed in her rehab room floor and she was dead for awhile before they found her. I had to go out to Oregon and I spent two days with her trying to see if there was any sign that she could bounce back. Unfortunately there wasn't any and I had to be the one to decide to take her off life support. I will be praying for you and your family God bless you🙏❤️🙏
God bless that boy his parents was wicked ... always say some people that have kids dont deserved that blessing 🙏
It hurts me how DYFS doesn’t get involved and always uses the same excuse there understaff, when it’s people like me filling out 100 of applicants everyday. It’s not rocket science to be a DYFS worker it’s common sense. Smh. RIP to Caden and he’s safe and in a much better place now. I love what this channel does because I wouldn’t know about all these cases if it wasn’t for the husband and wife duo. Love ❤you guys and promise to donate once I get back on my feet. You guys deserve it. ❤🙏🏾
It's funny how they aren't understaffed enough to ruin and harass families who aren't abusing their children, yet don't do ANYTHING about actual abuse cases
RIP Caden! Poor little angel did not deserve this. I think that is a good idea for people to be able to drop older children off at a fire station, hospital, church etc. Just like you can with babies. But it still doesn't excuse the utter abuse that poor little darling had done to him by his evil parents. Thank you Misery Machine ⭐
As a parent of two children I really struggle to understand how anyone can treat innocent little ones like this. Whether it be abuse or neglect. It's just not right ⭐
Those who show no mercy will find no mercy when they need it most. They showed their son no mercy. An ultimate betrayal. Rest in Peace baby boy.
It's hard to believe a 7 year old weighed 27 lbs! My daughter is 4 and weighs 40 lbs. That poor child 😭
The school didn't notice this kid's low weight for a 7 year old?
My niece is 4 and just broke 40lbs, he must have been so tiny )”:
My daughter was 40 lbs at 3.5.
@@steelhurricane4041 That was my thought, too. I think there is something fishy about the teachers not noticing 'anything'. Come on. The kid was severely underweight, must have had bruising, mom never around, living in hotels - right there, the hotel thing should have raised red flags. I know that she pulled him out of school...but no family ever came looking for them to visit or what not? These types of people usually raise red flags & it seems as if the school just never 'noticed'?
@@pattyhansen7563 You're right Patty that it is fishy. Teachers are trained to some degree if a child is being abused @ home or maybe baby sitters, etc. They should have investigated their suspicions, which I'm sure they had. Negligent school officials.
Y’all go above and beyond w/ these cases. I’m sure these cases are very difficult to read, and I appreciate everyone who works tirelessly. As heartbreaking as these are, you’re educating the public w/ every case. We learn to watch out for the little things, that could possibly save a life.
Yb
I just wish someone could of stepped in to save this
Precious little child. Where were family members, neighbors etc. Vigils after the child is gone .does not help. I know people mean well, I just wish someone could of done something to stop thls tragedy. 😓😢😩
I'm absolutely heartbroken when I heared the little boy cried to his mum
I'm a mother of little boy myself 😭😭😭😭how cruel
I ve not got children but it’s disgraceful nowadays the cases I hear 😢what’s wrong with people?!!
There needs to be automatic home visits to any child that is pulled out of school
Absolutely NOT. Why do ppl want the state to be police state?! Nothing they do is good either. Crazy take. There needs to be Serious coconsequences to scumbags that do this crap. Child abuse of any kind, should equal prison. That's it.
@@thevolatilitywhisperer7616 Knowing that abusive parents isolate their children and taking them out of school is something commonly done by them, yes, they should be checked. Why do you want to wait until after the abuse is exposed and the child is no longer alive? It usually escalates after that because the teachers, other adults, etc. are not seeing them anymore to comment or call CPS if they have suspicions.
Agreed, home schooling can be very suspicious. School employees are mandated reporters so easy for abusive parents to play the "homeschool" game to hide abuse
Sorry but no. That's insane any popular belief system in America can easily call you an abuser or take your kids. You gotta get off the nets and know these loonies aren't the majority even a little bit
Wrong! Not all homeschooling parents are evil. Goodness.
I always wonder why family members never questioned where cadence is? It seems they only start caring after the fact,unfortunately
Agree, the aunt that has custody of niece and loved her nephew so much ~ where was she during the months he was dead?
@@cynthiamartin2197 I completely agree, when they mentioned not wanting to go trial based on Caden's loved ones it made no sense. Clearly he had no true loved ones if no one even cared he was gone or being abused. Same with the school that abuse was going for a while and apparently they noticed absolulty nothing despite them claiming Caden was a memorable student.
To be a little fair if the aunt was not close with the sister (considering who her sister is that is probably the case) then it is probable she hardly sees the kids. She probably still cared but they weren't her kids and her sister was insane so she likely backed off. Thus, her not noticing him missing makes some sense but what I can't understand is not calling for a welfare check. She knew these people were living hotel to hotel room and that her sister had been beaten by the husband so why not call cps or for a welfare check. It might not have done anything and cps is garbage aswell but still at least to have tried just in case. I truely don't believe the abuse only started after the eviction.
@@finnsnow2495 That’s a good point about the sister; knowing the situation with the husband she most likely kept her distance. I agree, the sister not calling does not make sense; even if family members are separated due to conflict within or with spouses’ some family members will extend themselves for the sake of the children. Living hotel to hotel had to be stressful for the family; the mother left at 6:30 in the morning to return twelve hours later, I wonder how exhausted she was each night, and did she notice much if hubby was the main caregiver? I don’t believe the abuse started after the eviction either; the timeline of his withdrawal from school and the coroner’s report suggest it was ongoing prior to removal from school. If Caden was enrolled in school, he would have spent less time in the sperm donor’s presence, less stress for the murderer. Home schooling can be an added stressor, and it doesn’t make sense to sign a child out which leads me to believe that when they signed him out Caden had passed, and they were trying to cover up his murder.
This is absolutely disgusting!!! How can anyone do this to a child let alone their own. They both deserve to be sent to prison for life!!! They should never ever see the light of day.
That boy was the kid everyone wants to have a happy smart fun kid and he was brutally taken away may this kid rest in peace 🙏
Thank you again for giving a dead child , who only knew pain from the persons who should have loved and protecting him! It’s an epidemic in the USA, but we see it more and more here in Canada… I know these are the hardest stories to report on, but you do anyway, so we can’t bury our heads in the sand! Thank you 💕
I'm a Midwest transplant in Aurora/Denver, and these people are on a totally different spectrum than the rest of us.... I've never encountered so many mentally unstable yet self-centered people in my life! This baby deserved so much better than the life he was given 💔.
I know, right? I'm 62 this year and this crap used to be incredibly rare.
Sad, but so true.
You should see the lunatics roaming Phoenix..Arizona..it's scary and disgusting.
I have said it once and I will say it again, as a rule the worst cases of child abuse have a woman right in the center of it! How can you carry a child in your womb and despise that child so much as to torture them to death!
I watch 1000s of these documentaries, and this one is heartbreaking. I hope they both rot in hell!!!
RIP Caden McWilliams ❤️❤️❤️
That’s just absolutely heartbreaking especially when they said that the mother knew her husband wasn’t feeding Caden why would you stay at the office for so long every day and not rush home to ensure your child is being fed.
These evil dispicable monsters doing this to this 7 year old child who's life was taken too soon and this will haunt his little sister for life knowing what her parents did to her brother I hope this young girl gets alot of help and support in a kind safe environment ❤
Poor Caden. May his memory be a blessing.
Ladies, choose your partners wisely, get to know them very well before having a child. Poverty, lack of education, drugs, alcohol and abuse are sure recipes for disaster. There are too many cases like this.
But in this case the mother was just as evil as the father. Starving her own child, leaving him alone with the monster who was abusing him. Not only did she not stop any of it, she simply laid there in bed while her child cried out that he was hot and thirsty under a blanket while inside of a dog kennel. She is JUST as bad as her husband and should've gotten a much harsher sentence!!
Coz men shouldn't choose their women better ? Women are worse abusers than most men
It's not just ladies who have to choose their partner carefully. we guys need to be careful as well.
This is horrific and heartbreaking. I wish I, or someone else, could have adopted that precious boy. I would have protected him with my life. I can’t wrap my head around such evil. Those “parents” got off too lightly, imo. 😢 RIP, dear Caden
This is so disgusting. Both those “people “ need southern justice behind the court house
Thank you for telling these stories and advocating for these sweet babies.
I could not stop shaking my head listening to this.

What a system failure to that boy. Should it not be a process in place for authority following up for a kid that is removed from school?

You are so right… God bless from England 🇬🇧 UK.. for having the good sense to suggest this. Thank you. X
My professional work for a few years involved interfacing with CPS and dealing with parents in crisis. Whenever I had to deal with young people who were heavy drug users and had children, part of me wanted to just yell at them to let their kids go and spend their lives taking drugs if that's what they want to do. It always felt so weird to me that people who don't give a flying f*** about their children would pretend that it was some kind of complicated emotional thing losing control of them or having them taken away.
This drives me nuts because, on and off during my life, I have used tons of drugs. I don't judge people for drug use. But you can't be a drug user and have children. You just can't. It's not going to work. Ugh!
I love your channel by the way. Sometimes it makes me yell.
We need to have free clinics for hard drugs, where the users must have compulsory sterilization to apply.
Or you can party and do drugs when they turn 18
My aunt was a foster parent for 20 years for "troubled kids from broken homes". We thought that was a blessing, but it turns out that over those 20 years, she abused 12 different girls and 2 boys. It started with a family of 4 siblings, youngest was only 4 yrs old and the oldest about 12 or 14, something like that. The youngest out of the entire 14 kids was a newborn. My aunt convinced everyone these kids were just acting out because she was strict. But they had no freedom and were homeschooled. Three different girls had run away over the years, including the 4yr old from the first family of siblings, who was a teen when she ran away. Two of the three were given back to my aunt, no questions asked, no investigations done. That 4 yr old grew up thinking it was okay to help abuse the others. The third girl that ran away was 12 yrs old, special needs. Not the first special needs my aunt took in either. But that girl ran to her bio family and told them she feared my aunt's "punishment". An investigation was done. Beds without mattresses smeared in human waste, remnants of duct tape restraints on the beds, horrible living conditions. But the worst to me was the thousands of photos of these girls in various states of undressed and positions were found on my aunt's computer. She lived across the street from her own mother, sister and brother, and none of them knew this because my grandma refused to accept those kids as her grandkids because they weren't blood. 20 yrs. Ive had to listen to the same thing since i was 16 with the first family of 4 sibs. "Dont listen to them. They're just mad at the strict rules." "Dont believe them, they're troubled kids." Even my mom told me this, and being a child myself, i was bullied into ignoring them. I regret ignoring them. If i spoke up sooner and stood firm, i could have protected the other kids. My aunt was arrested, nearly 2 million bond, but thanks to covid and convincing so many family members and newlywed husband she did nothing wrong, she made bail and is free. It never finished trial and those kids only got "im sorry that we (the system) failed you" from the judge. Each time those girls reached 18 and could legally leave, they left so quickly and got married and/or have kids immediately, just to "feel human again" after what my aunt did. I will always feel horrible for not speaking up and defending those poor kids. But i refuse to accept my mom's side of the family after that. For her own mother to ignore what was happening across the street from her....just because they weren't blood? And to top it off, when i asked my mom if it was true my aunt was arrested, she snapped on me. "If you believe those liars, then you're not family." I deleted all contact info, removed her from my fb, and blocked her, on mother's day. Im not the same scared 16 yr old child you can intimidate and bully. Those kids did not deserve that for that many years. And the original family of siblings are all in their 30's now, except the youngest, with families of their own. And the youngest that helped my aunt hurt the others got married and had a baby before she was 20. And the sad part, when she found out she was having a boy, she got angry. She was conditioned into thinking it was okay to hurt a girl and continue what she was doing to her own kid. When it was a boy, she couldnt get away with hurting him. And my aunt threatened that girl, saying she would regret it if she spoke out against my aunt, so she retracted her statement about the abuse. Its so disgusting and i hope all of those kids, young and old, get justice and also get help with their trauma.
my mother was a dysfunctional loser alcoholic with no job, never had a job the whole 29 years i knew her, hit me viciously starting from age 2, screamed at me daily, bullied me, neglected us all, deprived us of everything... i always feel like my community failed me, someone should have come and saved us, i still don't know why no one did.
I’m So glad that you guys have kept your stories short and to the point. Not throwing in 20 extra minutes of “If I had been a neighbor, family member, I would’ve…..”
I know we can FFW but when you’re working w- your hands or driving, it isn’t always possible.
I’ve stopped listening to a couple bc of this. So thank you guys once again for keeping these horrific stories as short as you do, yet still giving us ALL the horrible details to every case. Your hard work is appreciated.
I really appreciate you saying this.
Many channels want to interject their personal stories, and I think some of those stories are valuable, but for me personally at this stage, I just want to deliver complete information about cases in a way that's easy for most people to understand.
There are too many people who want children and cannot have them, for something like this to continue to happen.
I cried hearing about this little boy.
I can never understand how a parent can hurt his or hers.
Thank you
Full disclosure, I'm a recovering drug addict (I just celebrated my ten year anniversary). The cases like this one-- drugged out parents, methed out mom, etc etc,-- scare me the most. I could have been one of these moms, in theory. If i didn't have such a good support network around me, i could have allowed someone awful to watch my sons.
I''m thankful for my sobriety every single day. Don't do drugs, kids. Don't drink alcohol. _Alcohol_ is the *real* "gateway drug."
PSA now over 😄
Congratulations on being ten years sober!
@@TheMiseryMachineThank you very much ❤
Well done
I'm with you, Sweetie 💞.
Congratulations on your soberity! I myself am someone in recovery and these stories hit home for me as well. That’s amazing ten years I hope to one day have that.. right now I have 90 days and counting… 🎉 trust me it’s no joke and support is what makes a difference for sure from a addict that gets better to an addict that has done something terrible and vile like this
