Hey all! Let me know how the audio sounds. Some of our first syllables were cut off. Just in case it wasn't understood: Debbie Beavers was the lead investigators for the case on behalf of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, and the CPS worker assigned to Kenisha's case was named Tracy Rideaux. Sadly, despite this case not being very old, many people in this case are no longer alive and therefore couldn't be contacted about it. Thanks for sticking by us every week. ❤Drewby + Yergy
Would love to hear your thoughts on Florida baby Tayla Aleman, whose parents Alejandro Aleman and Kristen Meyer-Aleman neglected/starved her to death and severely neglected their 9 other children as well. Kristen was pregnant with her 11th child when Tayla passed as well. Terrible and heartbreaking story.
Congratulations 🎉 You didn’t let that ruin your Experience as a Wonderful Mother(Which I’m sure you are🥰)And Extremely Happy you didn’t turn out like your Shitty “Sperm doner & Person’s who’s Womb you cooked in” Thank you for not using your Upbringing as an excuse too do wrong too your children & So Sorry that all happened too you At ALL!!! You DID NOT Deserve that…Any of THAT❤️😕😔🤬😡
In my 20's, I was at a B-day party for my brother and I accidentally sat on a mound of Fire Ants....I was picked up and thrown into a shower-- still, I was sick from venom for almost 3 days... You don't want to hear about the pain of the bites and puss, and all that......my POINT is, that it is an ABSOLUTE miracle this baby was alive.💔
My son unknowingly stepped in a mound of them in that little amount of time they tore my baby feet up he took off running I took my baby inside washed his feet and put calamine lotion on him I was so mad poured lighter fluid on them and sat my front yard on fire.
At my parents old house, we had fire ants that decided to move into the cracks between our driveway and backyard. My oldest nephew, who was 6/7 at the time, got bit by them while he was playing outside. My sister and i took gas my dad kept in his shed, poured it in all the cracks, and lit it on fire. We let it burn for awhile, and we would've kept it going, but my dad came home and rightfully freaked out hahah. Cause some of these cracks were really close to the grass. Needless to say, we didn't see them for quite sometime.
Imagine having to explain to your daughter some day why she has those scars. How do you help a child mentally process and emotionally heal from that..😢?
I will cal my child my child when they are adults. And I believe you wold have to in an age appropriate way (with the guidance of health professionals) give some explanation because you WILL get questioned and saying “I’ll tell u when u grown” won’t cut it. It will make the question that much more pressing and potentially cause further sigma. Hiding things causes shame. There are ways to give some answers without the full adult story and conversation. Children are full humans and deserve the respect of honesty insomuch as it is age appropriate digestible level of information and no more than that at a time. Make a bigger deal out of a thing when you hide from a person.
Girl ... I suffer from clinical depression, yet my 2 kids are my world. I never let that impact their lives or how they see me or the world around them. I was lucky enough to move to a state with wonderful healthcare and support in my recovery. My prior history as an addict or as someone who currently deals responsibly with their mental health struggles shouldn't be things my kids have to ever concern themselves with - I must say, however, that even in 2022, there are people who will look at me differently despite having my life in order for more than 13 years. Be kind to yourselves and each other 💗
I know how that can be. I was an active addict for a long time.. but it's been about 5 years since then and yet I still get heavily stigmatized by who I was then. It's hard enough and I'm not a parent, so I can imagine that's pretty tough. Stay strong mom, you're doing great.. I'm happy for you, it's a huge step to leave that all behind and you deserve to be appreciated for your growth. I experience a lot of mental/emotional health problems, and it's just so unpleasant.. to put it lightly. I'm on medications for things now and they have helped noticably, but I don't have any friends or gf. Been single for like 6 years now. I've basically just accepted my loneliness. All my relationships are ruined due to my mental health. It goes the same way every time. I'm legitimately convinced that it's better for me, my potential friends and whoever would date me, if I just avoid ever interacting with them.. or if I do I act entirely uninterested, which I basically am. Just not by preference.. Idk why I went off on this woe is me tangent, sorry. I just wanted to let you know you're doing great and you can do this!
you say that as if everyone has the same symptoms of depression, she most likely has a lot more too. she is a very stupid person but you cant use your consciences as a weapon against someone who most likely has it a LOT worse than you.
I feel this comment so hard. I have a very similar background, addiction, bipolar with mostly depressive episodes and I did relapse while my kids were alive.... having said that, my kids are healthy, happy children who never went without. They may have not had me 100* until 3yrs ago for awhile but I never hurt, neglected, or abandoned them. I did leave them with their father to finally get clean and still saw them on the weekends no matter what. I wanted what was best for them and a clean and happy mom was definitely that. Now we have a wonderful, open, understanding, and loving relationship. One I always wished for with my own parents. I don't care how bad things got, I would have done anything to protect them. Even if that means I have to remove myself in order to make sure of it. They are my world and they will always come before my own needs and wants.
As someone who suffered abuse my ENTIRE childhood, I just want to say thank you to all of you good parents. Thank you for doing the hardest job out there; raising a literal human, without causing another traumatized person. Especially the mothers with mental health difficulties. Lots of respect to you. ❤🎉
I WAS ABUSED AS A CHILD AND ADULT,UP UNTIL I TURNED 50,NEVER HAD A GOOD RELATION WITH THE MEN I CHOSED,I WAS LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES! BECAUSE I WAS NEEDY FOR JUST SOMEONE TO LOVE ME, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART,BENING ABUSED I PROMISE MYSELF I WILL NEVER ABUSE MY BABIES, AND I DIDN'T MY DAUGHTER AND SON IS AND ALWAYS MY HEART,WHY WOULD A MOTHER ABUSE THEIR CHILDREN SO BAD? WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN ABUSED, IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FORGIVE MY MOTHER ,BUT ON HER DEALTH BED ,MY SISTER TOLD ME MOM SAID.."DO YOU THINK MY MOTHER WILL LOVE ME NOW? I CRIED FOR MY MOTHER,BUT I FELT LIKE IF YOU KNOW THAT THE ABUSE THAT HAPPENED TO YOU,WHY ABUSE YOUR CHILDREN! THE PAIN STAY WITH YOU ALWAYS , I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT AS MUCH AS I USE TO ,LITTLE THINGS BRING IT BACK TO ME AT 70 YEARS OLD ,BUT GOD!
I am so sickened by this “mother” how can you do this to innocent babies!! I will never understand how murdering and or dumping a baby seems more logical than dropping it off at a church or fire station! :,( Rest In Peace Baby Maliki and peace and love be with you Baby Paris!!
My sister was born with fluid in her lungs that became pneumonia within an hour of her birth, she was 10 days late (I was 12). She spent a month in the NICU. They rushed her in there before my mom knew what was happening. I still remember going to visit her at 5 and seeing her in an incubator, so much bigger than the other babies, needles in her forehead.
SAME! My sister was born in 1986 and I remember seeing her the exact same way. My mother's water broke a month early and her doctor told her that she simply peed herself and wouldn't admit her immediately. Medicine in the 80's was the wild west at times.
@@TheMiseryMachine my sister was born in 91. My mom didn't even know there was a problem until my grandma came in asking what was wrong with the baby. I guess she saw them running her to intensive care with doctors surrounding her. No one bothered to tell my parents. Honestly what happen with my birth (I was breech) and my sister, is what made me decide there's no way in hell I'd ever have a home birth. My brother (middle child) came out in 10 minutes lol. My mother is still traumatized, says it was the most disgusting thing she ever felt, like a jellyfish tumbling out of her haha
Being abused made me more protective of my kids, almost to the point of being extremely protective. I'm very mild mannered but the thought of anyone hurting my kids will cause me to hurt someone behind mine.
Oof! I live in Texas where the fire ants dominate the lawns! They're like insect landmines. My mom had been bitten so badly on her hands once that they swelled up. They looked like baby hands and she couldn't stand the itching. That poor baby!
LOVE the videos on pouring melted aluminum in their nests. Spent much time in Florida and Arizona over the years. Have been bitten, and those things are monsters!
Also texan and when I was like 6 I accidentally sat on a huge fire ant hill in the yard thinking it was just dirt, my entire lower body was covered in seconds and I was bit even between my butt and on my privates, I was screaming and crying when my mom found me and got me into the shower to rinse off the ants. It was awful and itchy and painful I can't even imagine a baby being covered in them with no ability to escape.
I lived in Texas for a couple years after I was born. When I was two, I was playing outside in a fire ant hill. I actually remember my mother running with me, screaming and putting me in a bathtub. Texas anthills are massive.
Her story about baby hope might be more believable if she didn’t try discard another baby 🙄 she obviously wasn’t expecting that baby to survive either! As a single mother of a 15 year old and also suffering from severe depression, BPD and anxiety and requiring more hospital admissions than I care to mention. It’s absolutely no excuse to harm a hair on a child’s head! In my deepest despair and literally not wanting to live, never once has that thought even crossed my mind. Now both me and my son are lucky I have a supportive family and not everyone has that luxury. But if I didn’t, I would rather tear out my own heart and give my son to someone who could provide the stability and life he deserves than harm him intentionally or intentionally (through the effects of my mental health) If you don’t want your children then give them to someone who has the ability to love and care for that child and provide the life you can’t or don’t want to. I really can’t understand the thought process where you think it’s better to discard baby’s in dumpsters or cause them harm/suffering instead of safely with SW or a hospital. Or you know, go on birth control to stop unwanted pregnancies. Your worried what people think of you? I think being a child killer on death row is a little more embarrassing than a struggling mum who admits she needs help!
Also remember she got rid of the 2 babies that were fathered by other men then her partner. Perhaps she was intentionally getting rid of these babies or because she felt pressured by her partner. Either way it's just sick.
I feel you completely. You are an incredibly strong person. I have schizophrenia and bipolar but I refuse to have children because I'm in fear my mental illnesses will get worse and I don't want my children to be subjected to my episodes. But the fact she picked the kids to kill and try to kill because they came from different dads says that mental illness wasn't the issue.
Respect to you as a fellow person with BPD. I was a trainwreck as a teen but only harmed myself and certainly wasn't violent. I have a relative with the same condition who uses it to justify his anger outbursts (fortunately only verbal) and I am the only family member who holds him accountable. No mental health issue prevents anyone from being a good person.
I had to have an emergency hysterectomy last year and will never have children. The fact that someone took two little gifts and threw them away just hurts my heart.
I had one too. Emergency , sounds like you had Endometriosis or something. Pretty horrible and shocking they just told me like I was ordering a burger. I don't have children....but because I don't, I can do other things. That are just as important in helping them....remember, these things happen for whatever reasons. I have a very abusive, non existent family. I wouldn't want my kid to grow up like that. I waited until I was ready. That time was not for me. 💜 adoption im into as well. A lot of people don't want aged out kids. Really sad. I'm thinking by 50 I might want to foster.
You can still have gifts they just won’t come from your body . So don’t let it deter you or give you an excuse to not love children that need to be loved that are Alive and well waiting to be rescued.
@@jasminfoster3475 not an excuse but if you want to adopt and you are 1000% perfect, that is not going to happen. Not in my world..but I do think I'm able to probably foster at some point. Which I would be happy to do. Not everyone want to love and let go..
I had to have one in 2020. I had uterine cancer. Stage 1. I was blessed. It had nothing to do with luck!!! God saved my life! I never got to have children but one day I may still adopt.
How do people always find bodies in sealed garbge bags? I personally never dig through trash bags..also image how many bodies go undiscovered when you think how many DO get found 🤔 Crazy scary world
I firmly believe that more babies get thrown away in the garbage than we think, some just happen to get discovered through happenstance. In this case, the couple were searching dumpsters for bottles to return.
I think most people who throw their babies into dumpsters when theyre alive dont cover their mouths. I dont know whether they dump them out of desperation and panic, or what, but there have been stories of people hearing babies cries and finding them in the trash. I also wonder whether they do put them into dumpsters where they might be found. Whether thats a conscious decision or not, im not sure, but maybe its to make sure they are found and laid to rest or something. Id imagine youre not thinking straight if youre getting rid of your baby in a panic or out of desperation. People who dispose of their baby for nefarious reasons would try harder to conceal them. People dont usually think someone will open trash bags. They can often be put down drains in the streets so they arent found as well. Itd very sad, especually because most places have safe haven laws where you can leave them no questions asked at hospitals or fire houses, etc.
@The Misery Machine 100%. A toddler was found in a dumpster in Toronto Ontario a few months back and I can't even begin to imagine how many small bodies are in landfills and such
so sad:( you guys should cover the Thomas Valva case. Where a police officer abused and left his son in a freezing garage till he died. He was 8 years old and his dad was just sentenced recently.
Thank you for uploading! I'll never understand how anyone can do such a heinous crime. If you don't want a baby just please drop the baby off at the nearest hospital, fire department or even a library. There's no excuse for throwing a baby away like garbage! JMO
@Mimi 78 I'm aware of that but still no excuse for throwing a baby away like garbage. Maybe wrap the baby up n put him/her on someone's doorstep even. I just couldn't do anything like this, or try placing the baby for adoption, there are so many people wanting children who can't have children.
Exactly there's no excuse even before safe places were a thing as you said leave the baby on a doorstep or just somewhere it'd be safe not just dump it in the trash or on a pile of ants for goodness sake poor baby's.
@@Mimi-cq4bg people would leave babies on doorsteps with notes before it was offered. I grew up when the drop off was put into effect. And I'm sure glad they did because its obvious that dropping off on a doorstep these days is a hit or miss and might be worse.
Now that I have custody of my niece these stories hit differently. How somebody could do that to any baby, let alone their own child just baffles me. Humans are capable of some crazy shit.
Me too. Just the thought of throwing a baby in with fire ants! But she duct tape the baby's mouth shut. So that would tell me so far, that the little one was alive. I believe in the death penalty but sometimes I think it lets people off too easy. Certain personalities don't do well in prison because they're controlling type people. Early in the video still, so I don't know if she's controlling and hateful or insane.
@@13ritneyanne I got stuck doing sit-ups on top of a fire ant nest, during basic training.........it was awful. I pray that little angel grows up with no traumatic memories of the hell they went through. 🙏
I'm allergic to fire ant stings and once accidentally stuck my foot in a nest while wearing sandals while trying to get a grip on my dog's leash and didn't notice until far too late because I have hypersensitivity and didn't notice the stings being much different than itchy grass. Took weeks to heal from that, and I couldn't wear shoes for a while and had to walk on the edge of my feet for a while because the pustules would be irritated by the pressure. I wanted to practically chew my foot off at the ankle because it drove me crazy and had to soak it in ant venom relief ointment practically constantly. I was a full grown adult when that happened. I cannot imagine how that would have felt to an infant.
I agree!!!! Emotional dysregultion, ptsd and depression and I couldn’t even think of hurting my baby. Not a viable defence. It doesn’t make you a killer.
@Graciemaecoleman who said that? I simply stated that her depression is her depression and YOUR depression is YOUR depression. People react to medications differently... etc... etc... etc... Why people always try and make comparisons... is ridiculous.
My son turned 6 months today and I couldn’t imagine hurting such a beautiful baby. He’s always been so wonderful, how could anyone harm such a precious little person let alone their own baby?
And for sure that like boy was alive when she put him in that bag and dumped in. She covered his mouth so his cries wouldn’t be heard, and she tied him up so he couldn’t struggle. She had no intention for her little girl to survive either.
This is why Skylar and baby Annabel story is so different. She named her and buried her with flowers. She didn't throw her in a dumpster. That's how you can tell when someone simply didn't understand but has love and cares.
@@jolo3118 she did not try to burn her. Watch it again. The autopsy examiner came back and said she made a mistake. It was a false confession. Watch it again.
@@jolo3118 That is actually false, the medical examiner assumed that with no evidence or tests being done, and has been proven entirely false and Skylar was coerced and pressured into false confessions, she is innocent, their video even explains that very clearly.
“I suffer from this” “I experienced that” it’s weird how ppl think their own anecdotal individual experiences are valid measuring sticks of how someone else should/could behave.
Horrible case. It seems rather absurd to me to conclude that she would've taped the boy's mouth and arms had he already been dead when she put him in the bag, but clearly there wasn't a great deal of logic in this woman's actions either way. The selective nature of which babies she killed does make her look a lot less troubled and a lot more calculating. As for Skylar, due to her age and how clearly deranged her upbringing was, I can't help but see her as something of a victim too. At the same time, tho, if she doesn't get proper mental help to undo the damage her parents caused, I can't say I'd trust her ever becoming a mother, even if she keeps the baby.
I hate everything you guys talk about because it’s heartbreaking but I just want to let you guys know, you both have the best voices for a podcast/TH-cam! I love listening to you both! ❤
I had four kids by the time I was 21 I have major depressive disorder I came from a very broken home with no mother no father and grandparents that didn't want us there and let us know that everyday I've never hurt any of my children and they are my whole world and Im now a grandmother there's no excuse you don't hurt your children they're innocent they didn't cause your pain
I watched a documentary that covered just how widespread of a problem it is to have Qualified autopsy specialist. Especially for suspicious case's. It's crazy how unregulated this Dept. Is in our Country. You'd think they would take this very Seriously and require high level qualifications for this role and position of power, because once a autopsy person makes a decision, it's SO HARD to override, get a second opinion, or even every get anyone to look at it ever again. That's not even taking in the factor of "timing" and factors of decay after death, so time is very important, sometimes these morgues can't store the body and cremate them, etc. And forever alter how a investigator specialist could conduct his job if they finally get someone qualified to help them do their job to asses a suspicious case.
Here in America as a man you dare not show love to the baby you must beat the baby or the mother will leave you I would never hurt my babies so I haven't seen them in decades cuz in America mom's own the kids and do as they please with the law and the military on their side
@@jasminfoster3475 Good thing I don’t believe in god. Also- Id research how expensive it is to adopt Or how mentally and emotionally exhausting it can be to foster. There are enough foster home horror stories- not everyone is fit to foster.
Kanisha Berry deserves the same treatment as poor Paris went through, there is no excuse for this, why don't these parents drop them off at child services or a church. Someone will love these babies. Prayers that Paris is loved and has a better future.
@@grangrampa832 im not talking about this case im talking about the one where the girl buried her baby in the backyard. And anyway, wanting someone to get the death penalty for having a stillborn is still a fucked up view to have.
Holy crap! I worked at her unit in gatesville while she was there!! Its weird that ive worked with about 10 inmates( male and female) that are in yt true crime cases!! Ive even been to one of those inmates executions. Small world!
I’m going to speak my mind, and these are MY opinions. I’m so sick and damn tired of hearing excuses for why a so-called “mother” killed, or attempted to kill, her babies. This “clinical depression” is nothing more than an excuse made by those PAID by the defense to make these claims. Kenisha Berry had 4 other children ( if I heard it correctly), and she was perfectly fine. She stated, several times, that she was worried about what others thought about her giving birth to another baby, so she LIED about who Malachi was ( she had informed her oldest that he was a friend’s baby, and she was just looking after him ). So, she had the CLEAR mind to LIE, but we’re supposed to believe that “clinical depression” clouded her judgement? NOPE! I don’t believe that! There are many mothers that are diagnosed with clinical depression, but they don’t harm their babies. They’d rather die first. She gives birth to ANOTHER baby, then dumps her on a pile of fire ants! Again, she had the CLEAR mindset of taking her baby girl to that pile of fire ants, then leaving her to die a slow and very painful death. Each pregnancy that Kenisha had was a live birth - even Malachi was alive when he was born. Her “excuse” was to say that she “thought” that home births were illegal, but women, for centuries, had been giving birth in homes. As for comparing Kenisha with Skylar, that’s like comparing oranges to apples. When the autopsy of Skylar’s baby, it was revealed that the baby NEVER took a breath. In Kenisha’s case regarding Malachi, he DID live for a few days after she had given birth to him. IF she had brought him to a hospital for medical treatment, he’d still be alive. She chose not to! Again, comparing Kenisha to Skylar: Skylar buried her stillborn baby in the garden of her parent’s home, and Kenisha had duct taped Malachi’s arms across his chest, and around his mouth, then placed him in a garbage bag, then threw him inside a garbage bin. After she had given birth to Baby Paris, she placed her on a pile of fire ants to die slowly and very painfully! To speak about their races, that’s the most unimportant part. As I said, there’s a HUGE difference between the two cases. I’m sick and damn tired of people focusing on the color of one’s skin than the crime they had committed. Skylar didn’t just get away unscathed, and she DID have to pay for burying her stillborn baby instead of calling authorities. Kenisha had given birth to two LIVE births regarding Malachi, and Baby Paris. She DECIDED to dispose of both babies in the most inhumane way. You brought up Andrea Yates, who CLEARLY had a mental breakdown when she had killed her babies! If memory serves me correctly, her and her now ex-husband were in this cult, that preached that women SHOULD give birth to as many babies as the husband wants, and she had no choice but to comply. She had been institutionalized several times for her mental breakdowns, and she had begged her now ex-husband to do something so she didn’t get pregnant anymore, but he refused! I don’t believe she should’ve received the death penalty. With Kenisha, she deserved to be imprisoned for life, with NO parole. Mothers that can outrightedly murder their children for selfish reasons, like Diane Downs, SHOULD be put to death! Mothers that ALLOW their babies to be beaten, tortured, starved, mistreated and killed DESERVE TO DIE!!
She was a grown as woman with other children and Skylar was a young girl. Kanisha tried to kill two kids and has for kids at a relatives house. Kanisha is a monster Skylar is a scared child.
Not to mention there was more substantial proof that Kanisha’s was an accident. Not only that but she came in and admitted what she did!! And there was no proof she meant to leave the baby in pile of fire ants- she just abandoned her on the side of the road.
@C Nelson i watch a lot of true crime like loads of others but this one really got to me. I felt physically sick. I am still thinking about it since i watched it.
I live in NJ. I was a school bus driver for a few years. The bus company had me go for fingerprints, which were registered with the state. Later on, there was a digital scanner version of fingerprinting, which I paid to have done. They (bus company) also ran background checks on me. Maybe it varies from state to state, but if you work with kids or a government job like a prison guard, shouldn't they have run a background check on her? With that, they would have the fingerprints on file for future reference.
Things like this not only should never happen but are happening more often it's sickening. How can you do anything other than care for a little one. Evil.
I can't imagine what her surviving children will think once they are old enough and find out that possibly the only reason they survived is who their father was. This case brings me back to child/teenagehood when I accidently stepped into a fire ant hill and my family yelled for me to get off of it and I was literally stuck in place. Ultimately a family member yanked me off of it and I went and soaked my feet. The pain I felt even older is something I can't fathom as a precious baby.
This is triggering my flashback trauma of watching the first episode of Walking with Beasts. A carnivorous bird chick was hatching but it's life ended as soon as it started when giants ants show up and eat it alive like a swarm of piranhas. By the time the mother bird came back, all that was left of the chick was a bloody skeleton. That woman is a monster.
Ppl in her Social/ economic circumstance,don't reach out for assistance?She's working basically for minimum wage with three children. I don't know how she did it without food stamps/ welfare. I don't think her situation has to do with the economics of where she's from or even the what sociologist say @her community. I think Pride and how she wants people to view her, plays a big part. People have chronic depression that cripples them in their day-to-day lives for years and they would never do this. When I say this, I'm in real life depression. The people get who suffer from ptsd. These people don't behave like this. She was more worried about what her mother would think.
How us it against the law to give birth at home?I've had 3 unplanned homebirths .It's not like you can just hold on for a few hours,catch a bus or something to the hospital and give birth at a convenient place.
watching these make me feel so thankful i have my absolutely wonderful and perfect momma omfg. like she’s not a perfect person but lord is she the perfect mother :(
Newborns don't prefer "to breath through their mouths". They don't develop the reflex to breath through their mouths until 3-4 months old. That's why it's serious when a newborn get a stuffy/congested nose.
Hello, Youngsters! I am happy to watch and listen to you both. You give me faith that there remains empathy, kindness and emotional intelligence as well as story telling skills, to be found with such relatively young people. I hope you are all well and healthy! I am sure the story will be horrendous. But will be so deftly told.
I’ve been bit by one fire ant my whole life.. In kindergarten and had to be carried inside because I was crying in pain so much. Im 25 now. I can’t imagine one let alone multiple as a BABY
thank you for always covering these cases! even though they are gard ro hear and bizarre this stuff actually happens & there are people out there in our world like/act like this! it's good to cover these stories and awareness etc and just like you guys always say give a voice to the victims. great job!
There are multiple locations a baby can be left with no questions asked. That option has been available for decades & is heavily advertised. Not taking that option is murder. Period.
This LITERALLY happened to me as a toddler, only I lived with a few scars. All of the ant bites also got infected. Edit: This also happened about less than 1 mile from this case... huh.
Oh my God! What a sad story. I hope Paris is thriving now and is in a good home. I can't imagine explaining scars from something horrendous to someone no matter what age. Especially if it was by a person who was supposed to love them. I also hope the other three are doing well too and are in the process of healing.
I just wanted to let you both know. I absolutely love this channel! You guys make the best team and I always enjoy watching everything you guys post! My new favorite channel xoxo
If a baby/child survives something like that, they're going to start asking questions eventually and once they find out, they're life is going to be changed forever!!! they would be better off not knowing I feel, poor little Angel's, so innocent and tiny, and if these depraved monsters don't want children, there are so many different ways to PROTECT yourself, but they don't think like that because they're so evil and demented 😈
I think that the judgements in both cases were fair. Racism on the part of the public is responsible for the distorted view of Skylar’s case. If she wasn’t a pretty white cheerleader, no one would have wanted her to get the death penalty for burying a stillborn infant in the backyard.
This is insane. For those who don't know what any bites down in the south feel like, as an adult just ONE bite will make me jump in pain, and the following stinging itch lasts for a long time I remember one time at the park our son stepped in an ant pile and wrap shocked by the pain he just stood there screaming. We immediately knew what happened and my husband sprinted to him to rip his shoes and socks off of his little 4 year old feet and pour cold water on his legs. I can't imagine how this poor baby suffered.
Seems to me it’s a big difference that one mother had multiple kids and the other had one. Skyler wasn’t raising two kids, while disposing of two others! Skyler was attending high school
Nothing can excuse what she did. I don't care if she was depressed, if she couldn't care for them, if her _"socio-economic status"_ somehow forced her to not seek help, there's no excuse. Her race has nothing to do with it, either, Skylar's case was entirely different. You don't throw helpless babies away like trash. You can leave them at fire stations with no questions asked, I don't see how anyone can justify her doing this insane shit to these babies.
Does it matter what these experts are saying about Malichi’s death? Look what she did to Paris! There is a pattern here! Also, there is no law against having your baby at home! She knows that. Many women choose home births (I did) and some have precipitous labors and the baby comes at home before they can get to their birth center or hospital. She’s an abusive murderer!
I have been a viewer of your channel for a while now and me and my girlfriend both watch your videos. I can say that each time I see a story I cant believe how people or should I say P.O.S's can treat innocent children the way they do. We have a 10 month old son and no matter what I could never imagine neither doing or having anything happen to him that would cause him any type of pain in any way. The way that both of you tell these stories are both very informative and also entertaining and yours is definately a channel I enjoy watching.
My child had failure to thrive right after I had her. I had to basically wake her up and make her eat. I didn't sleep for the first few weeks of her life for fear of missing her feeding time and losing my baby. I can't imagine ever even considering doing anything to hurt my child.
I think the difference between the two is that Skylar had a stillborn baby and Kanesha's son died under very suspicious circumstances and she then abandoned a baby in an ant hill. Skylars baby wasn't alive when it was born both of Kanesha's were born alive
So, instead of looking at it with face value. That a disgusting monster of a human being did this and should be executed for it. You blame an entity that likely doesn't exist. Ok. I see what kind of filth you are.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being fair and pointing out the obvious inconsistencies and biases in our court systems. What you said is ABSOLUTELY correct in that if we don't administer justice equally than laws mean nothing. On point! 👏🏽
Drewby here - Regardless if she did or didn't kill Malachi, I do agree with taking her to fullest extent with Paris. Throwing her in a ditch full of fire ants is clearly attempted murder.
This doesn't happen twice where there is no ill intent. She killed that baby and tried to kill the second one. Yeah I listened to the video. It's not too hard to read between the lines.
@@TheMiseryMachine Didn't Kenisha put tape over Malachi's mouth? To muffle his cry? Excellent video and I love the compassion you both genuinely show Thanks for your work guys
Im sorry Yergy but Im telling you right now, you 100% wouldn't put tape across someone's mouth or over their limbs if they're already dead. You literally just don't.
You guys do True Crime the most justice (No pun intended) out of any channel on YT, imho. You really focus on making sure the victims have voices, and as a survivor of years of abuse and a mother of 4, that means more than you could ever know. You are fantastic at making sure the audience really feels what they should feel for each individual case. Thank you both for all the work you put in to each video. So much love! ❤
Hey all! Let me know how the audio sounds. Some of our first syllables were cut off. Just in case it wasn't understood: Debbie Beavers was the lead investigators for the case on behalf of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department, and the CPS worker assigned to Kenisha's case was named Tracy Rideaux.
Sadly, despite this case not being very old, many people in this case are no longer alive and therefore couldn't be contacted about it.
Thanks for sticking by us every week.
❤Drewby + Yergy
thank you guys for giving victims a voice. ❤️
It was noticeable, but not distracting. Also it wasn’t hard to figure out what was being said. 👍
Would love to hear your thoughts on Florida baby Tayla Aleman, whose parents Alejandro Aleman and Kristen Meyer-Aleman neglected/starved her to death and severely neglected their 9 other children as well. Kristen was pregnant with her 11th child when Tayla passed as well. Terrible and heartbreaking story.
Sounds great to me. The audio, I mean.
Aww that's really really sad....bummer....
She was worried about the legality of giving birth at home but not throwing the baby away in a trash bag? WTF?
And the ductape...
No...that was just her sorry ass EXCUSE for being a POS
that part had me stuck cuz....huh
Both women hid their pregnancy and didn’t tell one person about it because they wanted to kill the babies and pretend it never happened.
So you can't have a baby at home?
I had a horrific childhood riddled with abuse. Motherhood saved my life. I'll never understand harming a child. Let alone your own.
its because humans are deplorable monsters
Congratulations 🎉 You didn’t let that ruin your Experience as a Wonderful Mother(Which I’m sure you are🥰)And Extremely Happy you didn’t turn out like your Shitty “Sperm doner & Person’s who’s Womb you cooked in” Thank you for not using your Upbringing as an excuse too do wrong too your children & So Sorry that all happened too you At ALL!!! You DID NOT Deserve that…Any of THAT❤️😕😔🤬😡
💪💞👊🥰
Same here but I’m scared to have kids bc I don’t want to end up like my mom
My children are doggos but I know exactly what you mean 🥰💗 being a good mom when you haven’t had that is so healing
In my 20's, I was at a B-day party for my brother and I accidentally sat on a mound of Fire Ants....I was picked up and thrown into a shower-- still, I was sick from venom for almost 3 days... You don't want to hear about the pain of the bites and puss, and all that......my POINT is, that it is an ABSOLUTE miracle this baby was alive.💔
Pus you mean, unless they got there. . .
My son unknowingly stepped in a mound of them in that little amount of time they tore my baby feet up he took off running I took my baby inside washed his feet and put calamine lotion on him I was so mad poured lighter fluid on them and sat my front yard on fire.
@@Topdoggie7 sounds like she may very well be slightly allergic.
At my parents old house, we had fire ants that decided to move into the cracks between our driveway and backyard. My oldest nephew, who was 6/7 at the time, got bit by them while he was playing outside. My sister and i took gas my dad kept in his shed, poured it in all the cracks, and lit it on fire. We let it burn for awhile, and we would've kept it going, but my dad came home and rightfully freaked out hahah. Cause some of these cracks were really close to the grass.
Needless to say, we didn't see them for quite sometime.
@@slasherx6111 as you should
Imagine having to explain to your daughter some day why she has those scars. How do you help a child mentally process and emotionally heal from that..😢?
You obviously wouldn't be fully truthful to the child until the child became an adult/young adult.
You don't expose kids to this shit
I will cal my child my child when they are adults. And I believe you wold have to in an age appropriate way (with the guidance of health professionals) give some explanation because you WILL get questioned and saying “I’ll tell u when u grown” won’t cut it. It will make the question that much more pressing and potentially cause further sigma. Hiding things causes shame.
There are ways to give some answers without the full adult story and conversation. Children are full humans and deserve the respect of honesty insomuch as it is age appropriate digestible level of information and no more than that at a time.
Make a bigger deal out of a thing when you hide from a person.
Scars on babies disappear as time goes by skin fully shreads over years unfortunately for adults your skin scars don't change as skin is different
Girl ... I suffer from clinical depression, yet my 2 kids are my world. I never let that impact their lives or how they see me or the world around them. I was lucky enough to move to a state with wonderful healthcare and support in my recovery. My prior history as an addict or as someone who currently deals responsibly with their mental health struggles shouldn't be things my kids have to ever concern themselves with - I must say, however, that even in 2022, there are people who will look at me differently despite having my life in order for more than 13 years. Be kind to yourselves and each other 💗
Keep up the good work, momma!
My kids are the only reason I’m still here. I’d 100% been offed myself if it wasn’t for my kids
I know how that can be. I was an active addict for a long time.. but it's been about 5 years since then and yet I still get heavily stigmatized by who I was then. It's hard enough and I'm not a parent, so I can imagine that's pretty tough. Stay strong mom, you're doing great.. I'm happy for you, it's a huge step to leave that all behind and you deserve to be appreciated for your growth.
I experience a lot of mental/emotional health problems, and it's just so unpleasant.. to put it lightly. I'm on medications for things now and they have helped noticably, but I don't have any friends or gf. Been single for like 6 years now. I've basically just accepted my loneliness. All my relationships are ruined due to my mental health. It goes the same way every time. I'm legitimately convinced that it's better for me, my potential friends and whoever would date me, if I just avoid ever interacting with them.. or if I do I act entirely uninterested, which I basically am. Just not by preference..
Idk why I went off on this woe is me tangent, sorry. I just wanted to let you know you're doing great and you can do this!
you say that as if everyone has the same symptoms of depression, she most likely has a lot more too. she is a very stupid person but you cant use your consciences as a weapon against someone who most likely has it a LOT worse than you.
I feel this comment so hard. I have a very similar background, addiction, bipolar with mostly depressive episodes and I did relapse while my kids were alive.... having said that, my kids are healthy, happy children who never went without. They may have not had me 100* until 3yrs ago for awhile but I never hurt, neglected, or abandoned them. I did leave them with their father to finally get clean and still saw them on the weekends no matter what. I wanted what was best for them and a clean and happy mom was definitely that. Now we have a wonderful, open, understanding, and loving relationship. One I always wished for with my own parents. I don't care how bad things got, I would have done anything to protect them. Even if that means I have to remove myself in order to make sure of it. They are my world and they will always come before my own needs and wants.
As someone who suffered abuse my ENTIRE childhood, I just want to say thank you to all of you good parents. Thank you for doing the hardest job out there; raising a literal human, without causing another traumatized person. Especially the mothers with mental health difficulties. Lots of respect to you. ❤🎉
I WAS ABUSED AS A CHILD AND ADULT,UP UNTIL I TURNED 50,NEVER HAD A GOOD RELATION WITH THE MEN I CHOSED,I WAS LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES!

Baby Paris is a real fighter ❤️ I hope she's thriving now!
Would love to see an update
I DO TOO!
@@clare1971 yes, me too
🕯
Yesssss
Fire ant bites are brutal, couldn’t imagine a baby being swarmed and bitten. That’s horrific
And they leave marks, on you..For many years to come..
I am so sickened by this “mother” how can you do this to innocent babies!! I will never understand how murdering and or dumping a baby seems more logical than dropping it off at a church or fire station! :,( Rest In Peace Baby Maliki and peace and love be with you Baby Paris!!
That's not a mom that's a none human monster
It’s not logical, that’s the point.
In 1998 safe haven laws didn’t yet exist
@@sandraelliott4435 still churchs were known for taking in babies as well as orphanages back in ye olden days. It's no excuse to throw away a baby.
I’m so happy they have even drop boxes for babies now it’s disturbing but better than the latter
Those innocent babies didn't deserve to die.
This hurt me deeply.
Black government baby breeders for government benefits.
When does a baby deserve to die?
Only Malachai died, Paris survived.
My sister was born with fluid in her lungs that became pneumonia within an hour of her birth, she was 10 days late (I was 12). She spent a month in the NICU. They rushed her in there before my mom knew what was happening. I still remember going to visit her at 5 and seeing her in an incubator, so much bigger than the other babies, needles in her forehead.
SAME! My sister was born in 1986 and I remember seeing her the exact same way. My mother's water broke a month early and her doctor told her that she simply peed herself and wouldn't admit her immediately. Medicine in the 80's was the wild west at times.
@@TheMiseryMachine my sister was born in 91. My mom didn't even know there was a problem until my grandma came in asking what was wrong with the baby. I guess she saw them running her to intensive care with doctors surrounding her. No one bothered to tell my parents.
Honestly what happen with my birth (I was breech) and my sister, is what made me decide there's no way in hell I'd ever have a home birth. My brother (middle child) came out in 10 minutes lol. My mother is still traumatized, says it was the most disgusting thing she ever felt, like a jellyfish tumbling out of her haha
@SessaV thank goodness grandma was there to notice. Good grandmas are earth angels.
Being abused made me more protective of my kids, almost to the point of being extremely protective. I'm very mild mannered but the thought of anyone hurting my kids will cause me to hurt someone behind mine.
Oof! I live in Texas where the fire ants dominate the lawns! They're like insect landmines. My mom had been bitten so badly on her hands once that they swelled up. They looked like baby hands and she couldn't stand the itching. That poor baby!
And white pimples. I lived in FL and they were nasty.
LOVE the videos on pouring melted aluminum in their nests. Spent much time in Florida and Arizona over the years. Have been bitten, and those things are monsters!
Also texan and when I was like 6 I accidentally sat on a huge fire ant hill in the yard thinking it was just dirt, my entire lower body was covered in seconds and I was bit even between my butt and on my privates, I was screaming and crying when my mom found me and got me into the shower to rinse off the ants. It was awful and itchy and painful I can't even imagine a baby being covered in them with no ability to escape.
I lived in Texas for a couple years after I was born. When I was two, I was playing outside in a fire ant hill. I actually remember my mother running with me, screaming and putting me in a bathtub. Texas anthills are massive.
This is why I drown them fuckers with hot grease every chance I get. It kills the whole nest.
Her story about baby hope might be more believable if she didn’t try discard another baby 🙄 she obviously wasn’t expecting that baby to survive either! As a single mother of a 15 year old and also suffering from severe depression, BPD and anxiety and requiring more hospital admissions than I care to mention. It’s absolutely no excuse to harm a hair on a child’s head! In my deepest despair and literally not wanting to live, never once has that thought even crossed my mind. Now both me and my son are lucky I have a supportive family and not everyone has that luxury. But if I didn’t, I would rather tear out my own heart and give my son to someone who could provide the stability and life he deserves than harm him intentionally or intentionally (through the effects of my mental health) If you don’t want your children then give them to someone who has the ability to love and care for that child and provide the life you can’t or don’t want to. I really can’t understand the thought process where you think it’s better to discard baby’s in dumpsters or cause them harm/suffering instead of safely with SW or a hospital. Or you know, go on birth control to stop unwanted pregnancies. Your worried what people think of you? I think being a child killer on death row is a little more embarrassing than a struggling mum who admits she needs help!
Also remember she got rid of the 2 babies that were fathered by other men then her partner. Perhaps she was intentionally getting rid of these babies or because she felt pressured by her partner. Either way it's just sick.
I feel you completely. You are an incredibly strong person. I have schizophrenia and bipolar but I refuse to have children because I'm in fear my mental illnesses will get worse and I don't want my children to be subjected to my episodes. But the fact she picked the kids to kill and try to kill because they came from different dads says that mental illness wasn't the issue.
Stop comparing yourself to others
@@kissy_kitty_kat I agree with you!! The woman who gave birth to these kids, should have just left the kids at the hospital.
Respect to you as a fellow person with BPD. I was a trainwreck as a teen but only harmed myself and certainly wasn't violent. I have a relative with the same condition who uses it to justify his anger outbursts (fortunately only verbal) and I am the only family member who holds him accountable. No mental health issue prevents anyone from being a good person.
Being depressed does NOT justify the deliberate cruelty of throwing a baby on a fire ant nest. That's sadism. Evil.
I survived a hellacious childhood, but never would I allow my children and grandchildren feel about me the way I feel about my mom
My aunt had a fatal heart attack during a fire ant attack. I can't imagine.
I had to have an emergency hysterectomy last year and will never have children. The fact that someone took two little gifts and threw them away just hurts my heart.
I had one too. Emergency , sounds like you had Endometriosis or something. Pretty horrible and shocking they just told me like I was ordering a burger.
I don't have children....but because I don't, I can do other things. That are just as important in helping them....remember, these things happen for whatever reasons.
I have a very abusive, non existent family. I wouldn't want my kid to grow up like that. I waited until I was ready. That time was not for me. 💜 adoption im into as well. A lot of people don't want aged out kids. Really sad. I'm thinking by 50 I might want to foster.
You can still have gifts they just won’t come from your body . So don’t let it deter you or give you an excuse to not love children that need to be loved that are Alive and well waiting to be rescued.
she would have been better off getting abortions
@@jasminfoster3475 not an excuse but if you want to adopt and you are 1000% perfect, that is not going to happen. Not in my world..but I do think I'm able to probably foster at some point. Which I would be happy to do. Not everyone want to love and let go..
I had to have one in 2020. I had uterine cancer. Stage 1. I was blessed. It had nothing to do with luck!!! God saved my life! I never got to have children but one day I may still adopt.
How do people always find bodies in sealed garbge bags? I personally never dig through trash bags..also image how many bodies go undiscovered when you think how many DO get found 🤔 Crazy scary world
That was my question. How did he know there was a baby?
I firmly believe that more babies get thrown away in the garbage than we think, some just happen to get discovered through happenstance. In this case, the couple were searching dumpsters for bottles to return.
I think most people who throw their babies into dumpsters when theyre alive dont cover their mouths. I dont know whether they dump them out of desperation and panic, or what, but there have been stories of people hearing babies cries and finding them in the trash. I also wonder whether they do put them into dumpsters where they might be found. Whether thats a conscious decision or not, im not sure, but maybe its to make sure they are found and laid to rest or something. Id imagine youre not thinking straight if youre getting rid of your baby in a panic or out of desperation.
People who dispose of their baby for nefarious reasons would try harder to conceal them. People dont usually think someone will open trash bags. They can often be put down drains in the streets so they arent found as well. Itd very sad, especually because most places have safe haven laws where you can leave them no questions asked at hospitals or fire houses, etc.
@The Misery Machine 100%. A toddler was found in a dumpster in Toronto Ontario a few months back and I can't even begin to imagine how many small bodies are in landfills and such
Just imagine how many there might be that are never found.
so sad:( you guys should cover the Thomas Valva case. Where a police officer abused and left his son in a freezing garage till he died. He was 8 years old and his dad was just sentenced recently.
Alright, just promise you'll watch if we do it.
Oh, damn. 😥
@@TheMiseryMachine I listened to his story just the other day. You did him justice. Thank you. ❤
Thank you for uploading! I'll never understand how anyone can do such a heinous crime. If you don't want a baby just please drop the baby off at the nearest hospital, fire department or even a library. There's no excuse for throwing a baby away like garbage! JMO
This was not an option in the 90s. Safe drop off areas were created as a result of cases like this
Agree💯 Give the baby a chance.
@Mimi 78 I'm aware of that but still no excuse for throwing a baby away like garbage. Maybe wrap the baby up n put him/her on someone's doorstep even. I just couldn't do anything like this, or try placing the baby for adoption, there are so many people wanting children who can't have children.
Exactly there's no excuse even before safe places were a thing as you said leave the baby on a doorstep or just somewhere it'd be safe not just dump it in the trash or on a pile of ants for goodness sake poor baby's.
@@Mimi-cq4bg people would leave babies on doorsteps with notes before it was offered. I grew up when the drop off was put into effect. And I'm sure glad they did because its obvious that dropping off on a doorstep these days is a hit or miss and might be worse.
I will never understand how anyone can hurt or abandon a beautiful baby.
Be grateful that you don't understand it!
@@justmyopinion3764 you are right🙏🙏
Now that I have custody of my niece these stories hit differently. How somebody could do that to any baby, let alone their own child just baffles me. Humans are capable of some crazy shit.

Thank you for being here early! ❤️
Me too. Just the thought of throwing a baby in with fire ants! But she duct tape the baby's mouth shut. So that would tell me so far, that the little one was alive.
I believe in the death penalty but sometimes I think it lets people off too easy. Certain personalities don't do well in prison because they're controlling type people. Early in the video still, so I don't know if she's controlling and hateful or insane.
It's horrible. I almost had a panic attack when they said poor baby had seizures from ant bites 😭 I'm so happy she survived
@@13ritneyanne I got stuck doing sit-ups on top of a fire ant nest, during basic training.........it was awful. I pray that little angel grows up with no traumatic memories of the hell they went through. 🙏
@@hottamale2944 me too! And thank you for your service ❤️
I'm allergic to fire ant stings and once accidentally stuck my foot in a nest while wearing sandals while trying to get a grip on my dog's leash and didn't notice until far too late because I have hypersensitivity and didn't notice the stings being much different than itchy grass.
Took weeks to heal from that, and I couldn't wear shoes for a while and had to walk on the edge of my feet for a while because the pustules would be irritated by the pressure. I wanted to practically chew my foot off at the ankle because it drove me crazy and had to soak it in ant venom relief ointment practically constantly.
I was a full grown adult when that happened. I cannot imagine how that would have felt to an infant.
I think most people are
As someone who has been diagnosed with major depression disorder, depression should NEVER be reason to be found not guilty.
I agree!!!! Emotional dysregultion, ptsd and depression and I couldn’t even think of hurting my baby. Not a viable defence. It doesn’t make you a killer.
@@sophie-leighwilliams7394these things affect everyone differently. The human brain is insanely complex
Your depression is not her depression.
@@tazzmachazz1355 You are absolutely correct, but it still doesn’t mean you are free to harm others on account of depression.

I wonder how many children they didn't find.
I have major depression- but can't wait to become a mother. There's no excuse for what she did.
I'm blown away by the savagery inflicted upon these children.
And for sure that like boy was alive when she put him in that bag and dumped in. She covered his mouth so his cries wouldn’t be heard, and she tied him up so he couldn’t struggle. She had no intention for her little girl to survive either.
It's still weird to hear this story knowing her. It definitely shocked our community.
Did you see any signs
This is why Skylar and baby Annabel story is so different. She named her and buried her with flowers. She didn't throw her in a dumpster. That's how you can tell when someone simply didn't understand but has love and cares.
@@jolo3118 she did not try to burn her. Watch it again. The autopsy examiner came back and said she made a mistake. It was a false confession. Watch it again.
@@jolo3118 That is actually false, the medical examiner assumed that with no evidence or tests being done, and has been proven entirely false and Skylar was coerced and pressured into false confessions, she is innocent, their video even explains that very clearly.

@@jasmainejohnson8941 There’s no evidence that Skylar killed her baby.
“I suffer from this” “I experienced that” it’s weird how ppl think their own anecdotal individual experiences are valid measuring sticks of how someone else should/could behave.
This is just awful. That poor baby. 😭💔Thank you for sharing this
All kids deserve parents, not all parents deserve kids
Horrible case. It seems rather absurd to me to conclude that she would've taped the boy's mouth and arms had he already been dead when she put him in the bag, but clearly there wasn't a great deal of logic in this woman's actions either way. The selective nature of which babies she killed does make her look a lot less troubled and a lot more calculating. As for Skylar, due to her age and how clearly deranged her upbringing was, I can't help but see her as something of a victim too. At the same time, tho, if she doesn't get proper mental help to undo the damage her parents caused, I can't say I'd trust her ever becoming a mother, even if she keeps the baby.
I'm curious to what kind of a bringing Skylar had
She sounds super calculating to me very conniving and cunning
I’ve taken care of disabled and mentally ill people for years, and they are quite able to make conscious decisions of right and wrong
I think it is wrong to suggest that the child would grow up and later harm her kids.
You cannot hold her accountable for her parents.
I hate everything you guys talk about because it’s heartbreaking but I just want to let you guys know, you both have the best voices for a podcast/TH-cam! I love listening to you both! ❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
I had four kids by the time I was 21 I have major depressive disorder I came from a very broken home with no mother no father and grandparents that didn't want us there and let us know that everyday I've never hurt any of my children and they are my whole world and Im now a grandmother there's no excuse you don't hurt your children they're innocent they didn't cause your pain
I watched a documentary that covered just how widespread of a problem it is to have Qualified autopsy specialist. Especially for suspicious case's. It's crazy how unregulated this Dept. Is in our Country. You'd think they would take this very Seriously and require high level qualifications for this role and position of power, because once a autopsy person makes a decision, it's SO HARD to override, get a second opinion, or even every get anyone to look at it ever again. That's not even taking in the factor of "timing" and factors of decay after death, so time is very important, sometimes these morgues can't store the body and cremate them, etc. And forever alter how a investigator specialist could conduct his job if they finally get someone qualified to help them do their job to asses a suspicious case.
And some places still have coroners that aren't even doctors, it's incredible.
what’s the doc?
so true
I can’t even have kids and we have monsters like this- who just hurt these poor babies 🥺😭
Here in America as a man you dare not show love to the baby you must beat the baby or the mother will leave you I would never hurt my babies so I haven't seen them in decades cuz in America mom's own the kids and do as they please with the law and the military on their side
God makes no mistakes! Go through cps and start as foster parents.

😳 and we’re forcing births again.
I got ate up by ants whenever I was 5 years old and I was deathly sick for a week.
Holy crap! I worked at her unit in gatesville while she was there!! Its weird that ive worked with about 10 inmates( male and female) that are in yt true crime cases!! Ive even been to one of those inmates executions. Small world!
Which TH-cam videos ?? I’m dying to know which YT video was on the execution…. That must be a very weird feeling to see these videos after the fact.
I’m going to speak my mind, and these are MY opinions. I’m so sick and damn tired of hearing excuses for why a so-called “mother” killed, or attempted to kill, her babies. This “clinical depression” is nothing more than an excuse made by those PAID by the defense to make these claims.
Kenisha Berry had 4 other children ( if I heard it correctly), and she was perfectly fine. She stated, several times, that she was worried about what others thought about her giving birth to another baby, so she LIED about who Malachi was ( she had informed her oldest that he was a friend’s baby, and she was just looking after him ). So, she had the CLEAR mind to LIE, but we’re supposed to believe that “clinical depression” clouded her judgement? NOPE! I don’t believe that! There are many mothers that are diagnosed with clinical depression, but they don’t harm their babies. They’d rather die first.
She gives birth to ANOTHER baby, then dumps her on a pile of fire ants! Again, she had the CLEAR mindset of taking her baby girl to that pile of fire ants, then leaving her to die a slow and very painful death.
Each pregnancy that Kenisha had was a live birth - even Malachi was alive when he was born. Her “excuse” was to say that she “thought” that home births were illegal, but women, for centuries, had been giving birth in homes.
As for comparing Kenisha with Skylar, that’s like comparing oranges to apples. When the autopsy of Skylar’s baby, it was revealed that the baby NEVER took a breath. In Kenisha’s case regarding Malachi, he DID live for a few days after she had given birth to him. IF she had brought him to a hospital for medical treatment, he’d still be alive. She chose not to!
Again, comparing Kenisha to Skylar: Skylar buried her stillborn baby in the garden of her parent’s home, and Kenisha had duct taped Malachi’s arms across his chest, and around his mouth, then placed him in a garbage bag, then threw him inside a garbage bin. After she had given birth to Baby Paris, she placed her on a pile of fire ants to die slowly and very painfully!
To speak about their races, that’s the most unimportant part. As I said, there’s a HUGE difference between the two cases. I’m sick and damn tired of people focusing on the color of one’s skin than the crime they had committed. Skylar didn’t just get away unscathed, and she DID have to pay for burying her stillborn baby instead of calling authorities. Kenisha had given birth to two LIVE births regarding Malachi, and Baby Paris. She DECIDED to dispose of both babies in the most inhumane way.
You brought up Andrea Yates, who CLEARLY had a mental breakdown when she had killed her babies! If memory serves me correctly, her and her now ex-husband were in this cult, that preached that women SHOULD give birth to as many babies as the husband wants, and she had no choice but to comply. She had been institutionalized several times for her mental breakdowns, and she had begged her now ex-husband to do something so she didn’t get pregnant anymore, but he refused! I don’t believe she should’ve received the death penalty.
With Kenisha, she deserved to be imprisoned for life, with NO parole. Mothers that can outrightedly murder their children for selfish reasons, like Diane Downs, SHOULD be put to death! Mothers that ALLOW their babies to be beaten, tortured, starved, mistreated and killed DESERVE TO DIE!!
She was a grown as woman with other children and Skylar was a young girl. Kanisha tried to kill two kids and has for kids at a relatives house. Kanisha is a monster Skylar is a scared child.
Skylar was 18 when she did what she did. Kanisha was 21. The double standards are blatant imo
Not to mention there was more substantial proof that Kanisha’s was an accident. Not only that but she came in and admitted what she did!! And there was no proof she meant to leave the baby in pile of fire ants- she just abandoned her on the side of the road.
@@davidng8870 you are ridiculous
@@mackenziewilliams4507 oh she "accidentally" threw her baby in a fire ants nest?? Or "accidentally" left a newborn on the side of a road? Get real🙄
Can we not make this about the Skylar case?? If you want to talk about it, find a videoa bout her and comment there
My god this is just horrific. I'm pure sick 🤢.
You both do an amazing job bringing these cases to us.
Check, not a unfeeling psychopath
@C Nelson i watch a lot of true crime like loads of others but this one really got to me. I felt physically sick. I am still thinking about it since i watched it.
@@littlemisseatscrispsforbre5353 no doubt about it, terrible thing.
@@cnelson1614 👻
There's so many people that would have loved to care for these children . Just so sad.
Unbelievable and so sad. Poor babies!
I don't understand how anyone is capable of harming any child, ever !!!
This woman is a monster
I live in NJ. I was a school bus driver for a few years. The bus company had me go for fingerprints, which were registered with the state. Later on, there was a digital scanner version of fingerprinting, which I paid to have done. They (bus company) also ran background checks on me. Maybe it varies from state to state, but if you work with kids or a government job like a prison guard, shouldn't they have run a background check on her? With that, they would have the fingerprints on file for future reference.
Things like this not only should never happen but are happening more often it's sickening. How can you do anything other than care for a little one. Evil.
It's bc there is no access to abortion now since they took away roe vs Wade. Thank the gov. I think this is an older story but ya.
More often? People have always been doing things like this. Now we just discover it and hear about it more easily.
She should’ve had two separate charges rather than life for that single, unconfirmed incident.
I can't imagine what her surviving children will think once they are old enough and find out that possibly the only reason they survived is who their father was. This case brings me back to child/teenagehood when I accidently stepped into a fire ant hill and my family yelled for me to get off of it and I was literally stuck in place. Ultimately a family member yanked me off of it and I went and soaked my feet. The pain I felt even older is something I can't fathom as a precious baby.
This is triggering my flashback trauma of watching the first episode of Walking with Beasts. A carnivorous bird chick was hatching but it's life ended as soon as it started when giants ants show up and eat it alive like a swarm of piranhas. By the time the mother bird came back, all that was left of the chick was a bloody skeleton.
That woman is a monster.
I thought I was the only one traumatized by that horrific scene....
@@_epic_dyslexic_ I guess not. I feel for you my friend.
@@erinmccutcheon3751
Same to you. Hopefully one day we can forget that scene and move on 🤣🤞
Ppl in her Social/ economic circumstance,don't reach out for assistance?She's working basically for minimum wage with three children. I don't know how she did it without food stamps/ welfare.
I don't think her situation has to do with the economics of where she's from or even the what sociologist say @her community.
I think Pride and how she wants people to view her, plays a big part.
People have chronic depression that cripples them in their day-to-day lives for years and they would never do this. When I say this, I'm in real life depression. The people get who suffer from ptsd. These people don't behave like this. She was more worried about what her mother would think.
Prayers to all mothers who been thru soo much as a child or young adult, but still become Great Moms.... you have my Respect Frr💯❤️🙏
How us it against the law to give birth at home?I've had 3 unplanned homebirths .It's not like you can just hold on for a few hours,catch a bus or something to the hospital and give birth at a convenient place.
watching these make me feel so thankful i have my absolutely wonderful and perfect momma omfg. like she’s not a perfect person but lord is she the perfect mother :(
God I'm sick of people making excuses for bad behavior 🤦♀️
Newborns don't prefer "to breath through their mouths". They don't develop the reflex to breath through their mouths until 3-4 months old. That's why it's serious when a newborn get a stuffy/congested nose.
Hello, Youngsters! I am happy to watch and listen to you both. You give me faith that there remains empathy, kindness and emotional intelligence as well as story telling skills, to be found with such relatively young people. I hope you are all well and healthy! I am sure the story will be horrendous. But will be so deftly told.
If you don’t want your damn child give them away… what the hell is wrong with these lunatics
If the baby was already dead why did she duck tape the mouth? That right there…sadly the child had to have been alive when she did that 😢
She said she didn't like the way the babies mouth was hanging open
I’ve been bit by one fire ant my whole life.. In kindergarten and had to be carried inside because I was crying in pain so much. Im 25 now. I can’t imagine one let alone multiple as a BABY
If Malikai did happen to die by accident and she was scared, why would you throw him out like trash and not attempt a proper burial?
This is the channel you come to, for the information that you don't see on other channels.
Even if malakai died of natural causes, the mom is still responsible for not getting medical help.
In addition to the prison, she ALSO worked at an effing DAYCARE? Help me.
thank you for always covering these cases! even though they are gard ro hear and bizarre this stuff actually happens & there are people out there in our world like/act like this! it's good to cover these stories and awareness etc and just like you guys always say give a voice to the victims. great job!
There are multiple locations a baby can be left with no questions asked. That option has been available for decades & is heavily advertised. Not taking that option is murder. Period.
This LITERALLY happened to me as a toddler, only I lived with a few scars. All of the ant bites also got infected.
Edit: This also happened about less than 1 mile from this case... huh.
Oh my God! What a sad story. I hope Paris is thriving now and is in a good home. I can't imagine explaining scars from something horrendous to someone no matter what age. Especially if it was by a person who was supposed to love them. I also hope the other three are doing well too and are in the process of healing.
I hate people 99 percent of the time
Same
99.99% here
I just wanted to let you both know. I absolutely love this channel! You guys make the best team and I always enjoy watching everything you guys post! My new favorite channel xoxo
If a baby/child survives something like that, they're going to start asking questions eventually and once they find out, they're life is going to be changed forever!!! they would be better off not knowing I feel, poor little Angel's, so innocent and tiny, and if these depraved monsters don't want children, there are so many different ways to PROTECT yourself, but they don't think like that because they're so evil and demented 😈
I’d think she’d probably have brain damage from the seizures
Death penalty for a stillbirth child? Some ppl are freakin insane
I think that the judgements in both cases were fair. Racism on the part of the public is responsible for the distorted view of Skylar’s case. If she wasn’t a pretty white cheerleader, no one would have wanted her to get the death penalty for burying a stillborn infant in the backyard.
Of course you would think the judgement in both cases were fair. Racism is in fact the reason why they were judged accordingly.
This is insane. For those who don't know what any bites down in the south feel like, as an adult just ONE bite will make me jump in pain, and the following stinging itch lasts for a long time
I remember one time at the park our son stepped in an ant pile and wrap shocked by the pain he just stood there screaming. We immediately knew what happened and my husband sprinted to him to rip his shoes and socks off of his little 4 year old feet and pour cold water on his legs. I can't imagine how this poor baby suffered.
Love your guys's content.. keep up the amazing work..
Thank you for the kind words Michael! ❤️
You're welcome..💜 😺 💜
Seems to me it’s a big difference that one mother had multiple kids and the other had one. Skyler wasn’t raising two kids, while disposing of two others! Skyler was attending high school
It’s always a good day when The Misery Machine uploads. ❤❤👍🏻
Nothing can excuse what she did. I don't care if she was depressed, if she couldn't care for them, if her _"socio-economic status"_ somehow forced her to not seek help, there's no excuse. Her race has nothing to do with it, either, Skylar's case was entirely different. You don't throw helpless babies away like trash. You can leave them at fire stations with no questions asked, I don't see how anyone can justify her doing this insane shit to these babies.
This happened Just down the highway from where I live. I remember these cases Soooo well.
So heartbreaking
Does it matter what these experts are saying about Malichi’s death? Look what she did to Paris! There is a pattern here! Also, there is no law against having your baby at home! She knows that. Many women choose home births (I did) and some have precipitous labors and the baby comes at home before they can get to their birth center or hospital.
She’s an abusive murderer!
keep up the good work, thanks for these videos!
I have been a viewer of your channel for a while now and me and my girlfriend both watch your videos. I can say that each time I see a story I cant believe how people or should I say P.O.S's can treat innocent children the way they do. We have a 10 month old son and no matter what I could never imagine neither doing or having anything happen to him that would cause him any type of pain in any way. The way that both of you tell these stories are both very informative and also entertaining and yours is definately a channel I enjoy watching.
My child had failure to thrive right after I had her. I had to basically wake her up and make her eat. I didn't sleep for the first few weeks of her life for fear of missing her feeding time and losing my baby. I can't imagine ever even considering doing anything to hurt my child.
I think the difference between the two is that Skylar had a stillborn baby and Kanesha's son died under very suspicious circumstances and she then abandoned a baby in an ant hill. Skylars baby wasn't alive when it was born both of Kanesha's were born alive
Only a demonic entity could do this to a newborn or any child. There are real demons out there. Hope your OK now Paris.✌🌻🌻
So, instead of looking at it with face value. That a disgusting monster of a human being did this and should be executed for it. You blame an entity that likely doesn't exist. Ok. I see what kind of filth you are.
Nah, there are some people as bad as demons.
Are you calling me a demonic entity?!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being fair and pointing out the obvious inconsistencies and biases in our court systems. What you said is ABSOLUTELY correct in that if we don't administer justice equally than laws mean nothing. On point! 👏🏽
Skyler and koneshas cases are way different. Skyler's baby was actually stillborn. Konesha killed her baby. Not hard to see the glaring difference.
Did you listen to the video at all? The medical examiner couldn't actually determine this to be the case - Yergy
Drewby here - Regardless if she did or didn't kill Malachi, I do agree with taking her to fullest extent with Paris. Throwing her in a ditch full of fire ants is clearly attempted murder.
This doesn't happen twice where there is no ill intent. She killed that baby and tried to kill the second one. Yeah I listened to the video. It's not too hard to read between the lines.
@@TheMiseryMachine Didn't Kenisha put tape over Malachi's mouth? To muffle his cry?
Excellent video and I love the compassion you both genuinely show
Thanks for your work guys
Im sorry Yergy but Im telling you right now, you 100% wouldn't put tape across someone's mouth or over their limbs if they're already dead.
You literally just don't.
You guys do True Crime the most justice (No pun intended) out of any channel on YT, imho. You really focus on making sure the victims have voices, and as a survivor of years of abuse and a mother of 4, that means more than you could ever know. You are fantastic at making sure the audience really feels what they should feel for each individual case. Thank you both for all the work you put in to each video. So much love! ❤
