      I was hoping they could've saved her baby. Initially I thought they were going to say he heard a baby crying. Because death can cause babies to be expelled from the womb. I'd hoped it had a happy ending. But judging by the pitiful care she received, they probably didn't try to save her baby either time. If I was pregnant & had just passed away, I'd consider anyone who saved my baby a hero. Even if a random stranger used a penknife to cut the baby out. I'm left fuming at the authorities. It's sadly still a Latin American cultural thing to believe in bad spirits causing illness.

There is no way for what you thought to actually happen, the mother would still have to be alive for a living baby to be delivered. From the story, it sounds like Neysi wasn't close to due, either, and being in a poor, rural community, the baby would have likely died either way at that gestation.

      I don't understand how it was considered felony embezzlement. You have to steal over a certain amount to make it go from a misdemeanor to a felony (it's different in each state... But usually at least $600+) and if you have never had any charges before they usually drop it to something smaller. So how a VHS even with fees could get that high is beyond me.

      I used to manage a video store in a small town and yes, I’m that old and we rented VHS tapes. I never turned anyone over to the police though. You figure say the one video is 4.00 a day to rent and if the customer keeps it a year the charges would be well over 1,000.00. We would have customers insist they returned a movie even if the movie was missing and they were the last one to rent it. There was really nothing to do because I would never turn a customer over to the police and we just absorbed the cost but it was very irritating. But not felony irritating!

I'd have thrown the book at him and gone for the max which should have been LIFE (if not death!). They usually only plea down when they think there's a chance they'll lose the case but with his stupid story about her "falling into the coffee table" and putting sunglasses on her, they had to have had a tightly wrapped-up case without his confession. I'm sure her family and friends were so sick over that nothing sentence he got for what he did to her AND orphaning those 3 innocent kids....one only 7 weeks old!

      @@chrisyu327 I can understand how a man especially would hit a woman he loves (or used to love). Some women can be so evil even Jesus would be scared or be in tears to be in a relationship with them. Manipulation can really cause someone to snap. I just got out of an emotionally abusive, filled with venom and huge tons of lies relationship and I sometimes I wish I had just punched that girl into a coma. Never did get to express my physical violence on her.
      Loved her very much but for whatever reason, I wasn't the guy she wanted. I did everything for her, even getting her a job but she kept comparing me to her cheating ex and even cheated on me severally with him and others (evidence from her phone). I always got pity sex and you have no idea how frustrating that is. Especially before learning things like red pill or alpha widow nature.
      I sit down sometimes and remember the things I endured that would even make my friends laugh at me, that I'm either very stupid or I am the most patient person in the world. But they'd quickly follow it up with, you're a very intelligent person so you're obviously not stupid. I'm an engineer by the way (to explain the "intelligence").
      The traditional nonsense that everyone who have never been in abusive (emotionally, not physical) relationship is to always tell a man to be patient. Be the bigger person. Fuck that shit. Fuck, I tried to self-delete myself several times, I am f**king rich as compared to my colleagues I sat in the same engineering classes with but I was miserable simply because I wanted to stay faithful to one woman who couldn't respect me. Everyone, my aunts, my own parents, her side of the family always told me to be the patient man. Years I endured this shit and I have receipts from going to a therapist to prove this. Multiple therapy sessions. I could've just done the worst and ended up in jail, probably be enduring shit in there but be happy I expressed my anger.
      Until recently that her true lying devilish nature came out, the only thing I ever got from anyone is that "oh you're such a patient man". I am not. I have murdered that girl in so many different ways in my mind. So many different ways. When it was time for her to leave my place, I went and called the police to come and bear witness to her packing her belongings, only for them to refuse to turn up at the very last minute with all forms of excuses. I later found out from a colleague, even they could get in trouble for touching a woman or some nonsense of that kind. I sometimes have my whole body visibly shaking just remembering some of the things I had to live through and endure.
      I am a broken man, and if you haven't been in my shoes you have no idea. I am lonely sometimes. Living all alone in a big house with everything to make a family possible, with money to travel anywhere I want. I have the freedom to travel (software engineer - remote work) but I am not able to. I buy new servers and computing tools just to play with at home. I do a whole lot of things to keep myself busy at night but after I've successfully done all of these things, I get reminded that I am lonely.
      A girl who has been taking naked pics of me when I sleep at night over the course of the years. If not because the nakedness of a man does not go too far, she's been preparing all these years for when the relationship would go to hell so she can disgrace me. The only thing that stopped her, is her family and the threat of me suing her with all I've got until she rots in jail forever.
      I want to be a husband, I want to be a good father, but with what I've experienced, I wonder what I did wrong to anyone to deserve any of this. I wonder if I'm cursed. I'm trying my very best not to go into any other relationship until next year. I don't think I am fit to be a man in any woman's life right now. I'll continue my therapy sessions and hopefully, God will help me with a woman who will appreciate my efforts.
      I do not support or condone any stupid thing a man does to a woman, like ZaZell's husband has done to her, I'm just saying, I can understand what could push a man to doing it. I feel fortunate I didn't do it, but I sometimes feel very angry I didn't do it either.

    It’s horrific enough that he murdered his wife and mother of his children. But what makes this story so much worse is how he positioned her body on the sofa and made the children believe she had done something wrong when in reality he had murdered her in cold blood and made his children sit with her body.

She tried to get out. For many women come up by the time they realize they need to leave their abuser have made it near impossible for them to do it, or has made it very clear that they will kill them if they leave.

    It's been so funny watching you go from "we post 3, 4 sometimes even 5 times a week"
    All the way down to "we post once a week".
    It shows how busier your life has gotten and how you've also learned to focus on quality over quantity.
    Been wonderful watching your journey as a content creator.

      This has to be the #1 WORST mr ballen episode. The Oklahoma Problem, was not strange, nor dark, nor mysterious. It was a boring story about a person who irresponsibly loaned out their video store card to a roommate and incurred a lot of fees. Mundane. Mind-numbing. Pointless.

That's probably the most devastating part, knowing she could've been saved if someone herd her like half an hour earlier. Sadly the husband probably will blame himself forever that he didn't go just a little bit earlier, not that it's his fault but he'll always see it as such in his mind.

    When I was in high school I read a story in the old “Tales from the Crypt” magazine. The story was about a man who suddenly drops dead on the street. He later wakes up in a coffin buried alive. The man had suffered what the magazine called a cataleptic fit which gave the appearance of death. After reading the story, I asked myself, “Could this ever happen to somebody in real life?” Mr. Ballen just answered that question for me. Horrific is hardly the word.
