@@Broadwaybutterfly21 yea that's too good a guess to be a coincidence. Also when told her son was dead no crying just asking to speak to her husband then when she saw the husband she asked if he said too much. She was in on it they just have no proof & ross could not implicate her & still maintain his innocence . A normal moms reaction to hearing that her son is dead would at least cry . Then she would go on their screaming at her husband in agony that it was his fault innocent or not. I have a son and if I heard he died at 1 in a car I'd literally faint or scream like crazy. Then I'd go see my husband and go after him.for being careless or since hes arrested and suspected I'd ask him did u do this on purpose in tears . Just did not look right on her part . Ross could not implicate her bc he wanted to maintain his innocence to get off or get an appeal. Plus he wants his loved ones to still believe it was an accident so they dont turn on him. Plus a lawyer would not take his appeal if he admitted it & if he implicated his wife since he had the child he would implicate himself
The moment he said he wasn't getting any air in the backseat of the cop car... I would have put the heater on full blast and go for a walk. He is a monster!
you would want to but can't. that would be police brutality on a criminal. let justice do her thing....hope for the death penalty...if not the immediately castrate the thing that caused the problem in the first place. no more anything for you dude
In Italy it's recently become mandatory to have a baby seat that has a built-in alarm system that goes off when you step out of the car and leave the baby inside.
@@Jdjustsaying yeah, especially now. A lot of parents are so physically exhausted that their minds blank. The car alarm is a great idea. However Ross definitely did this on purpose so he has no excuse.
@@Boing2699 this is incredibly stupid and just a forced buy on families. Here in Italy in 30 ys happened 8 times. By this numbers, bread and mozzarella should be banned because of the number of children died by suffocation.
@@storiesgirlll that's an interesting detail. Prompts me to think the law in Italy is performative and/or fueled by a desire to protect the companies manufacturing these seats, more than the children forgotten in them. Only eight cases... I wonder if one of them involved a suit wherein a parent claimed the carseat was to blame due to it being too _something._
A man recently forgot his child in the backseat and when he realized the child was dead he immediately went inside and took his life. He could not bear the pain for even a minute. This is unbelievable
India M I think that’s a rational fear. I don’t even have children yet, but plan too in the next 2-3 years and I’m terrified of all the random, horrible things that can happen.
My life as a Addict in revovery Thank you! I worry so much already, haha. Both of my parents were garbage, they didn’t even acknowledge me for years and my mother still doesn’t. So I guess my fear really goes to back to not wanting to be like them, if that makes sense. I just hope I have the motherly instincts that my mother was lacking.
@@virgie4715 it definitely makes sense!! My parents are both addicts and alcoholics and I'm not even sure they can be considered parents. By my 13 birthday, I'd had enough and left home and never went back. Growing up that way instilled a fear of being a mom in me. I was sure I'd end up being as crappy as my parents were at it. Today, I have a 7 year old, an 8 year old and I'm pregnant. I LOVE being. Mom! You can break the cycle! I can't imagine missing out on being a mom just because I had crappy parents! Silver lining of growing up like that was that it taught me what I'd NEVER do if I became a mom🤗
What I want to know is, if the police had to tell her that her son had died, who was he on the phone to while a stranger was giving CPR to his dead baby?
He had called Leanna but didn't get an answer, but probably also 10 of the chicks he was messing around with, I just know the phone call to her is for sure.. I think they were playing phone tag or I'm not sure I saw that detail in another video on this..
I can understand making a fatal mistake like the dad did. I can even understand the mom wanting to comfort the dad in this situation rather than tear into him. I can only imagine the mental turmoil that making such a mistake can cause you, let alone being berated by your spouse over it. We’re all human and we make mistakes with many different degrees of consequence. Holding a grudge won’t undo things that happened. So, I don’t find the mom’s first interaction with the dad since the incident all that suspicious. BUT the fact that he visited his car during lunch, the fact that he backed the car out of his parking spot (a task that required him to look through the rear of his car) and the fact that the mom said “did you say too much?” are all extremely suspicious.
You are totally correct. And the mom stated at the daycare that she hope he didn't leave the baby in the car as if he's done this before. Like why make this statement 😒 🙄
I just watched a dateline episode on this, and the host got into a car of the same make and they said that if he turned around, then he would have seen his child, but if he just used his camera, then he wouldn't have turned around and couldn't have seen him. BUT the episode also showed that Ross had gone out to lunch with some friends, bought some light bulbs, returned back to work, and went to his car and tossed the bulbs in the passenger seat....yet he still didnt see his child..?
If the child was rear facing you can’t see them in their car seats. I know I can’t see my kids bodies cause they’re rear facing. But I also have never even almost forgot my child in their car seats and my kids are quite and don’t make any noise. It seems like this was planned to me tbh
@@destinyheath6583 If you look at the quick images shown at around 7:37 of Cooper's car seat you will see that his red car seat was a very low laying car seat. Ross, being a large man, he would have seen Cooper's blonde hair at some point... Cooper wasn't exactly small himself and that car seat looks pretty small... There's no way in hell that man did NOT see his son.
you both got good points. What would I think if my child is not in the daycare/school and I can't reach my husband? First thought did they have a car accident? are they both missing? Not omg my husband left my child in the car? She never mentioned something like this happening before or being common so how did she jump to that conclusion
Some people do repent having a child even after trying so hard to get pregnant. Many people have confessed at least online they felt the push by society to have a child that they felt that's what they wanted but after having them they hate being a parent.
What my mom did with my baby brother to make sure she didn't accidentally leave him in the car was to take off one of her shoes and put it in the back seat with my brother, so when she would have to get out and go to work, she would have to get in the back to get it. This meant she would see my brother and would never accidentally leave him in the car. I think that this is a great idea for moms who worry about this, so u can ensure that you child is safe. Edit: To the people who are upset that a mom would even leave their child in the car, Its better than completely forgetting ur kid in the car. Leaving ur shoe is just to ensure that you never forget them. Even if u always remember ur kid, better safe than sorry.
From what I saw, she was definitely involved too. I think maybe she didn't know about all the cheating and after that she was totally fine throwing him under the bus. But her reactions we're super suspicious. It seems like they just couldn't convictor because he didn't have enough incriminating evidence.
I feel like with the wife's reaction in the police station, when they were being filmed together, is very telling of the dynamic between the two of them...look at how she's literally at his feet holding his hands and comforting him. He was probably king in their relationship, until they had their son who naturally needed more nurturing and attention from his wife than he was comfortable giving up. I bet he was jealous of his son and all the affection and time he took up from HIS wife....I definitely feel he did this on purpose.
yeah why she squat on the floor looking up at him with his hands in her hands. i wouldn't squat for anyone who's the same height as me. why do women worship men like that? that is bizarre!
Meloncholiac that's a very good point that hasn't been brought out!! I bet you are so right!!! He wanted all of the attention, being a narcissist sociopath! It's obvious from what all he did. And then he started up even more, with all of the cheating, to get the attention from the females. Wow.
It was clearly premeditated by both of the parents. "Maybe Ross left him in the car?", "Did you say too much?". She knew. The internet searches? He knew.
It’s actually a thing that when bad things happen to a mother’s kid, they create false memories and can’t accept what happened. It’s pretty common coping mechanism. Her brain might not be letting her accept that he murdered her son because the idea would be too painful. Example, mom to this day still denies her ex husband use to leave us covered in bruises and welts from beatings even though she saw him do it.
Also she could feel guilty about not protecting her son. "He humiliated me. I trusted this man, a father that was supposed to protect our family, and i should have had better judgement, but i didnt." Sometimes i say words but i mean something different. Edit to say that I just came at the part where she found out he was cheating on her. That would definitely be humiliating. She has every right to feel that way. He killed his son and cheated on his wife. That's not something that I would be proud of.
Natalie Marie I’ve seen a car seat with a real looking baby doll in it and I ran up to the car and was beating on the window and then the mom and child walked up(was at a grocery store) and was like wtf and I said You left a baby in there!!! Mom was like what??? And she looked in and laughed, and said it was the kids baby doll 😮
Preplanned for sure! "Did you say too much?" and "Where's my husband?" says it all!!! And not blaming him for killing their child!!! FGS! They should be both in jail!!! For good!
I think too much of what she says points to planned for sure. But then the minute she found out about his cheating she was game to throw him under the bus. She seemed far more bothered about that than him killing their child.
Nap Queen you would think tho that even after he was found guilty, knowing all she said in court..why wouldn’t he just throw her under the bus if she had something to do with it? Why would he take the whole rap when he could have outed her as the one that planned it for a reduced sentence or something. It happens all the time. She definitely acted odd..especially the “he left him in the car” and not even reacting to her son was deceased. I would be in the psych hospital..not asking to see the person who left my son in the damn car all day. Crap I don’t know what to think
I 100% think it was on purpose. I saw a genuine one where the mum would take baby to daycare and then go to work every day, she was asked to pick up doughnuts for work so did that first instead of going straight to daycare which was out of the routine, forgot about the sleeping baby in the back and drove to work on sort of autopilot. Think he saw that and was trying to recreate it so went there and made sure to introduce him to all the staff and make a big point of it
I’m the father of three children including twins who were very premature. I understand being a new parent is exhausting. However to me forgetting a baby in the car is like going to work and forgetting to put my pants on. Unless I was blindingly drunk, in which case I could not drive, I don’t see how it’s possible. I have difficulty believing it.
I don’t think it’s unbelievable at all, especially as a neurodivergent person. I stick to routines every single day, and occasionally break them. Sometimes I get so stressed about the prospect of forgetting something minor that I forget something major. This, on top of stress, leads to being scatterbrained. Kendall also explained that this has genuinely happened to parents that honestly forgot.
The fact that he watched those videos 5 days before... he knew not only what he was doing, but how his baby would feel during the whole process.... what a sick human being.
On the documentary on tubi called fatal distraction his wife said that the prosecutors were never able to show that he researched children dying in hot cars she said it was a false statement
i just want to mention in these comments that otherwise extremely loving, attentive parents can experience this phenomenon. it typically occurs in instances where a very young child falls asleep and isn't making any noise. it's also much more common with kids who are too young to speak and object to being left in the car alone. psychological phenomenons like these always seem so outlandish and unbelievable, until they happen to us. the brain does not function well when persistently deprived of sleep, and when you do something every single day, you often go into autopilot- for example, have you ever driven somewhere you go often (school, work, etc) and spaced out for the whole drive? you just arrive at your destination with NO memory of how you got there? your brain just knows the route and takes over for you while you're not fully aware. it's insanely dangerous but it happens all the time, it happens to me sometimes on my way to work. it happpened to me often when i was in high school. additionally, false memories are a lot easier for our brains to conjure up than we think. if a tired parent drives to work completely zoned out, with a silent child in the backseat, their exhausted brain can sometimes conjure up false memories (based on previous experiences during previous days) of them dropping their child off. it's tragic, it's awful, but that doesn't make it something that only an evil person is capable of. we should be focusing our energy on sharing tips on how to AVOID forgotten baby syndrome, not shaming those who have ever experienced it. (that being said- ross is guilty as fuck. this was premeditated.)
Happened to me with my son that was born in 2012 just like Cooper😢 he was 3 months and I went in the store for like 15 minutes. He was quiet and I forgot he was with me until I came out and got in the car needless to say I was soooo scared because I live in Phoenix. But by the grace of God my baby boy is alive today so that why it's really hard for me to judge parents who do it because if a mom like me can do it anyone can
It's hard to believe a parent would do this on purpose but in this case, I think his actions point to he absolutely did. When he went back to his car, how could you not see your son in the back
It's not mentioned in this video, but I've read that it was a rear facing car seat the baby was in. So it is plausible that he didn't notice him. I still think he's guilty, though.
I am sure the car smelt rotten so he must have smelt that. The child must have peed and or pooped and sweated and the heat would intensify those smells ...
He definitely would have released his bowels + the heat would have made the smell assaulting. I got the tiniest bit of puke in my car here in Georgia (and it wasn't even *super* hot yet) and even after cleaning you could smell it for a month because the heat intensifies the smell. There is 100% no way he did not smell it when he went back to his car. He was probably checking to make sure he actually died. I hope the dad is somebodys b*tch now in prison.
Everyone’s talking about How Could You Forget Your Baby? I’m here like that Chick-Fil-A visit was weird. He acted as if he wanted Cooper to be happy for the last hours or minutes of his life.
SAME THOOO!!i thought why you getting fast food in the morning w ur kid (they probs had even breakfast tho) But i think it was more like a show off. Like kind of proof that he cared/loved his son. With footage like this people could go like "ohwww he cares/loves him and totally didnt forget him in the car while getting food.., he probs doesnt leave/forget him ever.. so maybe it was an accident?!"
I think he knew there were cameras in Chick-fil-A and he was pretending to be an awesome father, so if/when he was questioned he would say, look at the Chick-fil-A footage.
Why didn't the school call or text the mom to tell her her kid didn't show up? My sis works at a preschool and if the kids don't show up without a parent calling ahead of time, they get ahold of you.
i’m a teacher and worked at a daycare all through college. we didn’t call home until the 3rd day they missed school. it depends on the school i guess. usually parents would call if their child was sick or not coming to school that day.
This! In UK schools never used to call home if the student misses school but now it is cumpulsory to call a parent if the student doesn't attend if the parent don't call the school for safety reasons. I remember having to call each day to the parents for their child and one day we didn't Calling assuming they will be ill (as they were for the last couple of days) the child's dad had took the child from school without our knowledge
@@brainst3w I live in a small town as ND if my grandkids don't show up at school they call me within the first hour of school starting . That includes the Elementary school, Middle school and High school . As I had grandkids in each until this year .
I think they were both in on it. The first thing she asked was where's my husband, not any reaction to her baby being dead. Me, as a mother, I would have been freaking out, screaming , crying wanting my baby.
When Leanna said “Did you say too much” the detectives should’ve waited 20-30 mins before coming in the room right away, to see if she could have revealed more information🤔
The police didn't want him to request for a lawyer before they were done interrogating him. Leanna's line of questioning "Did you say too much?" was leading in that direction.
MrSpreadem I’m actually not a parent, and no I don’t think that alone is a reason to lock someone up. The mom was never prosecuted anyway so idk what the problem is. I was just trying to point out that the mom is suspicious by guessing that her child was trapped in a car and by asking Ross if he had “said too much.”
@MrSpreadem theres a difference between a child and a purse. A child makes noise, is bigger you would notice him in the car straight away walking up to the car let alone being in it. Even if he didnt you would hear him behind your or see him in the mirror.
@MrSpreadem I wouldn't want to take someones liberty away but it does make you question them. People get their blamed for less than that. So no, more evidence is needed. But it doesn't mean I'm brushing it off. This case seems foul. But again everyone reacts to things differently. But his behavior still seems weird.
@MrSpreadem she didn't murder her child he possibly did. It's not always about divorce. He could have done this because he didn't want the responsibility of caring for a child. Clearly he didn't want to be married either. Image is everything. He would not be okay being a deadbeat dad. But a loving father who made a horrible mistake sounds a lot better. He not only went to the car mid day but as he left work he backed out of the parking lot. He drove for a mile then realized he left his son in the car. You don't find that odd? It's like the Steve Avery case, the woman pi who were searching for Theresas car. She found the car in under ten mins in a massive junk yard and said God showed her where it was.... Mind you the car was at the end of the lot and where she came in at it would have taken her at least ten mins to walk straight there. Some facts you just can not ignore. I'm all for giving people the benefit of doubt. Somethings are just not what they appear to be. So we theorize scenerios based off evidence. Based off evidence he planned this it was not a coincidence and his wife possibly knew about it.
It seems that she loved her husband more than her son. Especially being more worried about him than her son being dead. A manipulating husband, tired of his wife and son. She know something about the death of her son. She asked him if he had said too much. Both should have been held accountable.
14:53 and the minutes leading up to that question from the mother sealed the deal for me. No grieving mother would behave the way this woman did or ask a question like that. She should be charged too. She knew the plan.
My mom when I was in preschool once went into my school parking stopped and then continued driving and started driving to work, at first I thought she maybe forgot something but we didn't go the way home then I thought maybe we were getting food but after about 10minutes I thought there was no way she could be taking me to get food and I asked her where we were going and she slammed the breaks and turned around and was so confused she told me she remembered dropping me off I used to think it was funny but now I'm so thankful I spoke up
This has happened with my mum dropping me and my sister once or twice when we were younger! Just because we were so quiet for a while she kind of forget until we spoke so I can slightly see how it would’ve happened maybe but still no excuse especially with the way he was acting before and after it
I get this is a real thing. I literally do this at home with my oldest. Because he goes to school and to his dads. Sometimes he will be playing in his room make a noise or switch his tv on and for a second i freeze bc i completely forget he is up there then my brain goes "Logan" and i take him a snack up or something. I get its possible. When i first had him i was cleaning my kitchen and was exhausted bc he was a very emotional baby, and he was in his bassinet in the living room. I literallu walked past him to sit on the sofa and then he made a wimper and it made me jump bc i had practically forgotten i wasnt pregnant anymore and he was actually here. So i am completely understanding on this. With that being said i have the gut feeling they were both guilty tbh! Too much sketchiness
oh please, he looked at the video a few days before? and then went BACK to the car and didn't even see his son dead?! he is a 100% guilty. I'm so furious omg
Maja literally same tho and the other messed up part about that is that he was sexting with under aged girls and cheating on his wife that morning with not 1 not 4 but 7 OTHER WOMEN and with the sexting and having sex with the young girls is so messed up and he would be going to jail ether way because he was guilty of pornography, Sexual assault, prostitution, and 120% likely killing his own son. THAT IS 4 LAWS THAT HE BROKE, 4 LAWS! That is literally life sentence to prison
I took my cat to the vet this morning and i wanted to get a coffee after. It’s 8:30am and like 72 and sunny. I looked at my cat in the carrier, she squeaked at me and I was like “you’re right dude” and we left. I couldn’t even leave my cat in the car for five minutes to run in a coffee shop in the morning before it’s hot hot bc I was afraid she would get hot. I can’t even imagine doing this to a baby. That poor angel.
you're a good person who puts your animals feelings before your own! unfortunately there are many selfish individuals who tell themselves "they'll be fine". idk how many poor little dogs Ive seen left in cars with windows cracked an inch, like on the video. they're just idiots!! and I call cops any time I see them left in a car! call me "Karen" all they want!!
It's the fact that he literally took him inside of Chickfila with him MOMENTS PRIOR to him going to work. HE AINT FORGET HIS SON WAS IN THAT CAR. There is just no way.
Yes it was HALF A MILE from the Chik-fil-a to his work... How could that very alert child eat and fall asleep in 30-45vseconds, the time it takes to typically travel half a mile?
The fact that she was so much more upset to find out he was cheating compared to him causing their son to die is damning evidence that it was premeditated
As someone who has dealt with the death of my husband and later the death of my infant daughter, there were moments during both deaths, within just an hour or two, where i just went calm. Your brain doesn't know how to comprehend death. I went through moments of calm and then freaking out. I remember being like, "why am I not super upset right now? Why am I not hysterically crying?!" Everyone reacts different.
As a trained Nereavement Minister, a former medic, and having lost both my husband of r6 years, I know that there really i a numbness…that look like an inappropriate m/‘calm” that is very common during the first few days, sgyrt vhča death.. I worried, though, when she worried..out loud that he might have said too much. Huge red flag, for men. That suggests that she either knew, or suspected his guilt.
I experienced the exact same thing. When I lost my son it didn’t hit me until the next day. People criticized every move I made and it was extremely hurtful to experience such a loss but also being judged when I couldn’t even understand what I was experiencing or feeling at the time. You never know how your mind will cope with such a shock.
You would go into shock, then denial would set in, then back into shock. That is not surprising. Your brain can only absorb so much horror, that is why God has given us the break so to speak in between the shock and the denial. I don't think you would have been able to handle it all at once. The full force of the tragedy that you went through. Thank God for shock and denial and anger etc. We need those to help us get through the unthinkable. I am so sorry. May your Husband Rest in Peace, and your sweet little infant daughter is with Jesus Christ and so very very happy.
As disturbing as it is, the heat would have sped up the decomposition process immensely. There is no way that after 4+ hours there wouldn't have been at least a little bit of a weird smell in his car, let alone once he got off work. There is no way he didn't know that his child was in there when he went to drop off light bulbs in his car, let alone before pulling out. He did it, he knew he did it, and I think the only reason he might have regret is because he got caught.
Kitty55 that’s my thought too. I’m a vet tech and when deceased pets come in after passing away at home, they definitely have an odor within a few hours. How could he not have smelt SOMETHING during his ride home at least, or when he went out there to put the light bulbs in
@@virginiaconnor8350 that's not what I'm saying. She had other reasons for wanting her son dead, and the two of them were in on it together. Only after he was dead did she learn that her husband was cheating. Hope that clears things up :)
mswhittaker231 Waze is an app that gives you driving directions. I didn’t know this was a thing till the app updated an option you can turn on an option called literally CHILD REMINDER . As a description it says “ Get reminders to check your car when you arrive “ you can also add a personal message . I guess it’s not as random as I thought,
I think she really believed he was too tired and forgot their son. She was tired too and she was at work when he was supposed to be dropping him off. Mothers feel guilt when this stuff happens when they weren't with their kids. He conned her.
With the fact that her child is not at daycare and she jumps to the idea of maybe her husband left him in the car and killed him? Why wouldn't you have just thought maybe my husband was late for work or something, and text him to see where he's at? I feel like that was her way of making sure someone could testify that she didn't know where her son was and was "shocked" that he wasn't in day care. Because its not like she had been searching for him and daycare was the last place to look, there's a million other reasons he could have not been there other then he's locked in a car
@@jrh7693 I would agree with you that it is weird she jumped to that conclusion, however, for one no one came into the daycare who didn’t usually come in that we are aware of. 2. It’s clear they had both heard of children being left in a hot car. She most likely knew something had happened while he was in the father custody and didn’t want to believe Ross had purposely killed Cooper.
It’s hard to not believe she was in on it when she suggested her husband may have left the child in the car. It was the afternoon when she was picking him up. You think she would wonder if her husband got off work early, or maybe something had happened to them on the road and she for some reason hadn’t been notified yet... it’s too specific. Then - when she’s told her child was found dead, all she can say is, where is my husband? No anguished cry, or “omg” or surprise. And the shady comment to say to him - “did you say too much?” I love my husband and he’s a great father, if an accident like this happened - I would not be able to not be angry with him and ask him how he could forget and etc. It just has too many red flags. I know she has the sippy cup and raises awareness now... but potentially she could feel immense guilt for being in on it? Or, maybe she suffers from a condition where she enjoys attention, and losing a child and then running a awareness of FBS might be what she’s getting out of that? Idk just some thoughts
They set that up. Any parent can see this! I freak out and cry at the thought of losing any of my babies. I would be a mess if it actually happened. That poor baby deserved so much more.
Pre-planned. The father of my children cheated on me in various ways but never, not even once did he EVER forget our children. He is the most absent minded person I have ever met in my life too, and nope, still not once did he forget. This man, guilty af. He is exactly where he belongs. Most men usually stuck in his situation murder their wives but he went after the child.
I find her chilling. And imo she was more upset about him and his cheating ( how he got one woman is worrying, but then cheating multiple times 🤮🤷🏻♀️) Their conversation after was unbelievable.
@@lauraprosser5084 no of course she can also grieve like a complete psychopath with no emotions at all! Her baby literally died the most painful and torturous death. There are many different ways of grieving but having no mimic or emotion in your voice is not normal!
@@lauraprosser5084 i also love how at the stand she said that „he ruined her life“ and then continued to say that he humiliated her and ruined her trust not one word of him purposely killing their son! She thought the murder would fix their marriage but then found out that he cheated so much on her that there was nothing left to be fixed! Absolutely disgusting!
I've always been told, to prevent Forgotten Children Syndrome, leave your purse or whatever you need for work in the backseat so when you reach for it you see your baby.
Hey yeah! That never dawned on me. I have watched this story time and time again. And that thought never crossed my mind. Good thing I I'm not a detective.
I was a new mother when this happened. I remember feeling so bothered by this case. I can’t understand how a parent could do something so truly heinous to their own child. So sad.
Okay as a mother, her initial reaction was not strange to me, because If I know that my partner is meant to drop off our child at child care and the childcare said that he wasn’t dropped off I would assume they are home or something happened (not something horrible maybe my partner wasn’t feeling well, maybe our child felt sick etc) so I would be calmer than the child care saying oh he was here but he disappeared that would make me freak out. But once she said “maybe he was kidnaped” or “maybe he left him in the Car” I find that a little strange to “assume” that might’ve happened before thinking “oh he’s with his dad he should be at home” idk.. that’s me. the rest.. well I have no comment he is suspicious 100%
paloma diaz but are you referring to the part where the officer is telling her “i’m sorry to tell you but your son is deceased” and then she goes “ where is my husband?”? because that is beyond understanding. if somebody told me “your kid his dead” my husband wouldn’t be even in my top 5 first thoughts.
A.Grubie no no no the first part i was referring to when she got to the childcare and they told her her son didn’t attend that day. Then the second part is when she said to the childcare or thought that her child was either “kidnaped” or maybe her husband “forgot about their son in the car”, I don’t she knew at that point that her son had passed until the police told her? I think she first assumed it then it was for real.
Lanie Michelle Right ! I mean if my kid was with her dad I would not assume what she did because I would trust that my kid safe with her father especially if he was a loving father, so I think my reaction would be calm like she was once she arrived at the childcare to pick up her son who wasn’t there.
It's horrifying, and many of us simply cannot understand the reasoning; I believe some people are so selfish, they don't want to be seen as, 'bad parents', by giving their child away, so they see it as perfectly reasonable to kill their offspring to escape parenthood, (i.e; Casey Anthony). Similarly, with people committing murder because a divorce, 'would make them look bad'.
I know! Like, worst comes to worst, call the police and just tell them to take your kid to children’s services until you can place them up for adoption!!! Not saying this is the right thing to do, but it’s certainly better than killing your kid!!
That poor baby. I can’t even imagine what he was going through, crying, screaming just looking for someone to get him out 😭💔 my heart hurts so much. Fly high baby angel ♥️
I’m honestly surprised by Kendall’s reaction the moms “grieving” at the end. I don’t feel bad for her at all. I fully believed she was in on it. And I think she should have been charged as well,
@@lauraprosser5084 children are a huge and arguably the biggest responsibility you'll have in life, not everyone realises this fully before entering parenthood, she could have gotten cold feet. Also if her husband also encouraged her she probably gained the courage. From what i've seen she was veryyy devoted to her husband so it might be plausible.
He could have just brought the light bulbs into work with him after buying them on his lunch break, and sat them on his desk til time to leave, but going to the car with them, gave him an excuse to see if his son had died.
I was thinking the same thing. I love my husband and he is a great father but there’s no way I would have been this okay with him “accidently” leaving our kid in the car.
I would have attacked my ex even though I loved him. My ex-husband has attention deficit disorder is on the autism spectrum. He never once forgot our child. I just think that something is going on with our society where people are so not present or something because how the hell do you leave a child in the car. This never happened with us growing up I grew up in the seventies and eighties and I'm 51. My son is now 16 and I just I know everybody reacts differently to grief and I've seen it over the years working as an RN im hospice. I seen the full spectrum of grief and people sometimes do act very weird. However when it comes to a child I have never not seen the parents lose their shit even when it's expected.
I don’t know how anyone can live with their spouse knowing that because of their carelessness, your child is gone. He would be a constant reminder their child is dead. Every time a argument ensued, I’d bring the death up. Anytime they said they “forgot” anything... I’d think of what happened. Has to be hard.
Seriously though, I really don't think I'd forgive my spouse regardless if it was an accident or not. Like they'd be a living reminder that my child died in a car because they didn't check to make sure that there was no other person in the car and I'd just feel every negative emotion looking at them. I wouldn't want to be in the same building as the guy without yelling at him, let alone asking if HE'S okay. Maybe that says something about me, but I would seriously hold that against him for the rest of my life, whether it was an accident or not. Like Jesus Christ he said that he just watched a video about a guy leaving his kid in the car and you wouldn't try to prevent it? This would make me furious tbh.
what about when Leanna said, "Did you say too much?" When he was being held for questioning!?!? What the hell did that mean?!?!?!?!?! and also, when she was informed of all his scandalous cheating when she was sitting in the courtroom, she replied by saying, "he ruined my life. I am humiliated and I may never trust anyone again." she didn't mention a thing about the fact that his "neglectful absentmindedness" resulted in the loss of her son! THAT would ruin MY life! Not the fact that my husband was a dirty scoundrel! You can always find a new man! The fact that I lost the most precious, amazing little soul would be the end of it for me. I don't know... I think she's shady as hell. And I think she defended him on the issue of murder because if she accused him of doing it on purpose, he could come back and say she was in on it too! Or maybe she continued to defend him because she was just as guilty and admitting that he may have done this on purpose would be the same as admitting she was at fault as well. That woman is GUILTY!!!!!! That poor little angel and the suffering he probably went through. My heart breaks for him... I can't even think about it without crying! Thank GOD that poor baby is away from those people.
Julie Admave-Hartle ALSO what about when police informed her that her son was deceased, her first response was “where is my husband?” In a really calm voice. WTF?!
Police questioning is commonly manipulative and they poke at individuals until it wears them down. Even a completely innocent person can “say to much” without a lawyer being present.
Ax l MAYBE a person forgets stuff in the car. Maybe that's why she said it. Think of it from a non guilty perspective, that's what makes sense in that perspective.
Layla W Not necessarily. Watch the show on Netflix, I can't remember the name now (Confession Tapes? Something like that) but basically it's about cases of people being pressured by police, recorded/videoed without their knowledge, etc, and then being convicted for crimes they didn't commit. It's freaky. Even if I was 100% innocent, I don't think I'd speak to authorities without a lawyer anymore, thanks to that show.
My mom was 19 when I was 4. She worked for Dean Witter almost an hour away from where we lived and we left the house at 5am everyday. I didn't have a car seat by that age and would normally lay down & read a book until she dropped me off at my Aunt's. Once she made it all the way to her office before turning around to see me asleep in the backseat & OMG I've never experienced anything like her absolute freak out realizing what she had done. She was so inconsolable & I didn't really understand why but like watching these people's reaction just seemed so off to me. Then knowing he watched a video about it only days earlier is what seals the deal for me. You don't watch something like that & then immediately do it accidentally.
It kills me to think about that poor little boys final moments. Guilty or not, (totally think he is) - the situation is absolutely tragic. Rest In Peace Cooper.
My moms psychopathic exhusband "left" me in his truck in 100° heat when I was around 6. I remember looking at my red, swollen hand and trying to hit the glass. It hurt so bad I think thats when I passed out. I honestly don't know how I'm alive.
OMG so sorry that happened to you! I taught my kid how to get out of her car seat and open the door if something happened to me and also how to get out thru the hatchback with the pulley to the trunk if she was trapped in the car. and also how to break the window in the corner area with the window device by her seat. I also had those battery operated window vents to cool the car. yeah, call me crazy but its Arizona and just a few minutes your car is a death trap!
@@farmgirlre4634 Absolutely not crazy. You gotta give your baby the tools to survive. Its clear to me you love your child but you never know who she'll meet. I wish my mom had cared enough about me to do that. Good on you.
Princess Freaking Jasmine you know what just came to mind??! That for to mention, when he complained about it being too hot, but it's an eerie feeling that I got, when I read it in your comment-- cause the heat is what killed his son, and it's like that didn't even cross his mind when he said it-- it was definitely on purpose-- that man has zero conscience!! Nada!!!
It makes me mad that he complained how hot the car was knowing what he put his child through accident or not it’s horrible and I feel so bad for that poor little boy may he Rest In Peace
The fact that she was more upset and felt humiliated and felt he ruined her life bc he cheated on her but not for killing Thier child makes me believe she was 100% in on it and knew exactly what Ross was going to do that morning. I hope little Cooper is resting peacefully ♥️
He planned it. The reason he went to the car at lunch was to see if the child was dead. But he wasn't so he delayed the discovery of the child for after work. He deserves the death penalty.
honestly that part hurt me the most... I can barely even type this but all I can think about is what stage cooper was in at that time and if he called out for his dad... I hope Jesus came and took him away before any pain or fear came.
@@twinmomma1631 I agree he was probably gone by then. I hope he didn't suffer too incredibly... but I don't think it was an easy passing, I would think towards the end he possibly became delirious so maybe that in itself was somehow helpful. idk so horrible to think how awful it was for the boy. He didn't deserve that and I do believe the dad & mom were in on it.
I'm a single mom & my son is almost 3. I absolutely do not believe that any parent could "forget" their child in the car. Are you not checking on your child during the car ride? Do you not think of your child at work? I'm constantly thinking of my son. Do you not call to check on your child when you go on break? I mean there's just so many things. There's NO way you could seriously just forget your child.
The brain can do crazy things when stressed and exhausted. And like she said in the video, people can actual create a memory in their mind of dropping off their child.
Well I mean clearly you can, considering how many cases there are of it happening. Especially with very exhausted parents as she mentions. But that was clearly not the case here.
I am very calm in emergency situations (medical training) and initially my first thought would have been “oh, ok. Don’t panic- hubby probably has them”. During this time I would have been calling hubby. If he didn’t answer straight away I would have started freaking out. Pure panic. I would never have been like “oh maybe hubby left him in the car”. That literally wouldn’t have occurred to me- I would have thought car accident or kidnapping etc.
Honestly they were probably in this together because "he probably left him in the car" really? That's so specific and random at that. She could've said something more like "maybe he didn't drop him off today" the security footage she looked like she didn't care and was trying to look like she was frantic but had to stay calm because it is a place of business. The dad obviously passed the freaking street on purpose left the car chill as heck and went to work like it's another day. Then get out of work and get in the car drive for you said 1 and a half miles? And you didn't look in the back not on time, not even the rear view mirror. This is total bullshit some people are just not fit to be parents simple. I would never forget about my child especially after it took so long for me to get pregnant. Now some people honestly forget but these people are not one of those people 😌 And then he went back to the car during work! Didn't smell anything, nothing looked out a place. His lying, his acting is just horrible. You can totally tell he did it and the wife was along for the ride.
My initial thought wouldnt really be to panic. Id be like "hmm. Why didnt he drop him off." Then ring my husband and be like "you at home with the baby?" And then as soon as he said no THEN id start freaking out. But if i knew my son was with his dad, i wouldnt panic just bc he didnt get dropped off.. bc my assumption would be he was still with his dad surely.. to immediatly go to "he must of left him in the car.." is sooo sketch. And the fact she went into that interview room all comforting of him?! Like i can't, she needed a sentence with that prick.
That and I thought it was odd that when they asked her about how she felt in court all she could say was that she can never trust anyone again. Why not mention your child in that
Absolutely agree. Plus her reaction when they told her that her son was dead? “Where’s my husband” WHAT. I think she turned on him in court because she ended up looking foolish when the proof of cheating came out
my mother tells me all the time to not talk to the police without a lawyer present if i EVER get arrested. she's been saying that to me since before I was ten years old. My uncle is a lawyer and I guess she just gets really nervous thinking about it all. My sister was drunk inside of a mall and she was arrested by the police, and that's when my mother started mentioning to never speak to police without a lawyer present. i think that Leanna possibly could have the same mindset as my mother. I also believe that the way Ross mentioned how he recently saw something on the news about this happening, and how Leanna said he left him in the car at work. They must have seen it together. Though I 95% believe that Ross did this on purpose. 5% of me thinks that It's possibly this was truly an accident because of how caught up he was in his disgusting sexting. I am 70% sure that Leanna had something to do with this.
I think she was in on it. I think they both wanted to separate without a child attached between them. How is your first reaction to your child being missing “maybe my husband left him in the car”. HOW!!? Her reaction has been off the whole time. She quickly turned on her husband when she found out about the cheating though.
@@cassidyreecer1334 Because he never admitted it was a plan. He was sentenced, while saying it was a mistake. Had he done what you said, then it would be a full confession for him too...something he wasn't going to do.
The fact that there’s something called “ Forgotten baby syndrome” what does that say about our economy and our family dynamic that parents are so exhausted they make horrible mistakes like this. Not saying this was a mistake but as a general statement about “ forgotten baby syndrome”
Maly Squade yeah I get it honestl I don’t think it’s that weird that he missed the turn. Growing up my mom would miss the turn to our high school all the time because she was on her “way to work”. Its the same “phenomenon” I experience as a driver when sometimes I end up at my house and be like wait I don’t even really remember how I drove here. It’s sorta like auto pilot. In this case though I’m just saying I don’t think it’s weird he missed the turn and drove to work. I think it’s weird he didn’t realIze he never DROPPED his son off or that he was in his car. Idk it’s really scary to think something like this could happen unintentionally so i think there’s something else going on
Maly Squade totally see where you're coming from. Absolutely sad how some people are left so helpless and drained, I wonder how single parents with no support system do it.
bagel well, I guess the fact that both parents generally have to work to be able to support their family and everyone seems to be so busy and caught up with all the problems and distractions etc. It does kinda make sense.
Deirdre Smith I honestly think “forgotten baby syndrome” is bullshit. Blaming the economy or anything else seems like a reach lol. If you’re a parent of a small child you should reevaluate yourself if you can’t even remember to check the back seat before you exit.
“Probably left him in a hot car”, “did you say too much”? She was in on it. They figured they could get away with killing the boy by saying the dad “forgot”.
RIGHT!!!! THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO, HOLY SHIT. SHE NEVER MENTIONED HIM. I think the officials knew/know she was in on it too, but they had no evidence to go on.
I'm a nurse , so being calm in hectic situations is my normal. I get questioned all the time " how are you so calm " . However if it was my child things would be different. I would go insane.
yeah exactly, i think working in a hospital opens your eyes in alot of ways, ive seen so much including people dying right in front of me, but i think it’s a different case when it was people we love, (i don’t have a child, however i’ve got a little siblings who meant the entire world to me) and i know i’d be nowhere near calm had anything happened to them
Cooper was only 2 weeks older than my son. His death shook me. I cried & cried when this story broke. They didn't deserve that sweet baby. My son will be 9 this August. Cooper should've been alive to see his 9th birthday too. 🥺😭
They did not deserve him. Plenty of men and women who would have done anything for that beautiful boy. Me being one of them. I have a 3 year old boy and hope I can give him a brother or sister one day. I will never understand monsters like this
Y’all, her reaction to ‘your baby is deceased’ is the clincher for me. I truly believe she was complicit. Maybe their marriage had fallen apart and neither one of them wanted custody. My heart aches for parents who TRULY accidentally leave a baby. I just do not believe that was the case here for either parent.
@@jasminesouth8207 it was explained in another video about this same case that the reason y she said this was bc Ross had a tendency to talk too much and make himself look worse bc of it. She had nothing to do with it, everyone reacts differently to trauma, she’s just a mother in complete shock.
MrSpreadem we don’t know what went off in their private life or what was going on between them. For all we know she could’ve had nothing to do with it and he might’ve left his son in the car before. Her response could’ve just been her way of coping, or was worried since her son was dead he could be sent to prison. Or it could’ve have gone the other way we don’t know. Honestly I don’t find her that suspicious, her actions may seem weird but that’s it.
I feel like she said that cause she knew he was cheating on her (but not to the extent of the 15 year olds and such) and since she was comforting him, maybe revealing he's disloyal might immediately pin him as suspicious, idk everything feels suspicious and I can't come up with a clear side
It's hard to imagine how anyone in the mother's situation having the presence of mind to be caring with the father when they have just found out what had happened to her child.
MrSpreadem why would she want to murder her child ? Is their really a right answer to that question ? Obviously people that kill their children have some type of mental illness. You can’t do something that’s completely crazy and then have a logical reason for doing it .
I think she meant cause she had to listen to that in front of a court room full of ppl Finding out her husband wasn't who he thought she was but that he was a cheating bastard
ThePeaceful Sage that’s very true and a good point I just feel like most people would be more concerned about their dead baby than being embarrassed by infidelity
@@AKARUIEXE so true but I've been cheated on by a guy who slept with men and women and I couldn't help but be so happy i didn't have kids with him when I found out. sometimes the thought of creating a baby with such a monster is like.. Will my child be like their father? How can I look at them now Idk It's like it was bad enough her child was dead but then to learn the whole marriage was a lie including the child yall made together. How can she ever trust anyone again I think she's devastated over the loss of her child but I think she's angry at herself for not seeing this coming. For putting too much trust into someone she was supposed to be able to trust more than anyone I think having to sit there looking at his smug face brought out anger instead of sadness Just my opinion.. Idk how she felt just how I felt when it happened to me - minus the child Now having a child im really glad I didn't have a kid with that jerkface
Exactly, initially I was thinking I probably wouldn't be in a panic straight away. My first thought would be, maybe he wasn't feeling well and he stayed at home with the dad and he forgot to tell her. When her thinking goes straight to "maybe he was left in the car" that's super strange. She is dodgy too.
God bless that precious litte boy and all the children who have suffered such a horribly painful end. This breaks my heart. This has got to be one of the hardest cases to watch for me.
Klaus Brodeck depends on the daycare you go to. Many daycares actually do indeed call and ask the parents why the child wasn’t there or at least email or something.
My mom Put her purse and phone in the back seat and when I was a baby even her shoes next to my car seat in the back so there was NO way she would forget me...💕 I mean it works and could save so many kids lives!❤️💕 if you worry about this happening try it!😌
This^ this was my biggest fear when I had my kids (because post partum anxiety) so I did this with my work bag when I had to bring my oldest to daycare because there were days I was so sleep deprived I drive straight to work and I'd look back in the mirror and see my 3 month old just smiling in the back. I was late to work a few times but better than anything happening to her. It wasn't so much that the bag was "important" it would just always have me look in the back on days I was on autopilot.
This is an amazing idea/tip! I'm pregnant now and already scared of anything happening to my baby. Add to that my natural forgetfulness and it's a disaster waiting to happen. But I will use this idea forever now, thank you very much
The fact that he rushed to get married and everything it just seems too good to be true. He didn't look like someone who is responsible, he wanted a way out and I believe that, that news report that he was watching gave him the motive.
paloma diaz Exactly and he made sure it looked like a normal day and he knew that footage would make him look good. I believe he knew what he was doing and just acted dumb, if he can cheat and use a app he can Defently lie his way into doing some thing horrible.
I have a little brother the same age as cooper and I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose him I almost cried watching this , this man is a monster and deserves everything and even more then what he got
When she said “ while cooper was sitting in the car dying Ross was sending nudes to 10 or whatever people” I lost my shit. Like how can you do that to such an innocent child. I’m so triggered rn😤
They need to invent some kind of app or device that detects every time your car turns off, triggering an alarm to go off to remind parents to check on their children!
Mandy Love, That is really cool! I didn’t realize any cars had that. What type of car do you have if you don’t mind me asking? And Samantha, I love the idea! Girl, you should invent it. :)
Shiloh Day, agreed! I hate the fact that children die due to being left in a hot car. If it saves even just one child’s life, it’s worth it. If I ever forgot my children in a hot car, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. At that point, I wouldn’t even feel as if I deserved to live.
there was a guy who invented a device that could be put in every car to set off an alarm if there was something (or someone) in the back seat! unfortunately it didn’t get enough funding to actually be put into circulation but i’m glad to see that some cars actually come with the option.
I'm not sure if it was or not, but this isn't evidence that it was. In fact, it would have made more sense to stay away from the car if it were premeditated. Nobody could have said he should have been able to see the child in the car.
Thanks for doing this heartbreaking story I've just watched the trial I'm actually sickened to stomach he is a cruel nasty monster that baby boy cooper suffered to his last breath he deserves to suffer bad too rip little cooper

She was a great mother! Not fair.
Haley Dawn I don’t believe the mother was innocent. The fucker said “I wonder if he left him in the car” she knew it was going to happen.
Courtney Faith Bryant She did not do anything but he does not deserve to walk in this earth
Nope neither one of them did
@@Broadwaybutterfly21 yea that's too good a guess to be a coincidence. Also when told her son was dead no crying just asking to speak to her husband then when she saw the husband she asked if he said too much. She was in on it they just have no proof & ross could not implicate her & still maintain his innocence . A normal moms reaction to hearing that her son is dead would at least cry . Then she would go on their screaming at her husband in agony that it was his fault innocent or not. I have a son and if I heard he died at 1 in a car I'd literally faint or scream like crazy. Then I'd go see my husband and go after him.for being careless or since hes arrested and suspected I'd ask him did u do this on purpose in tears . Just did not look right on her part . Ross could not implicate her bc he wanted to maintain his innocence to get off or get an appeal. Plus he wants his loved ones to still believe it was an accident so they dont turn on him. Plus a lawyer would not take his appeal if he admitted it & if he implicated his wife since he had the child he would implicate himself
The moment he said he wasn't getting any air in the backseat of the cop car... I would have put the heater on full blast and go for a walk. He is a monster!
you would want to but can't. that would be police brutality on a criminal. let justice do her thing....hope for the death penalty...if not the immediately castrate the thing that caused the problem in the first place. no more anything for you dude
I can't believe he even said that, like wha?? If I had done that, being uncomfortable would be the last thing on my mind. I would want to die.
Christina B yasss
Same here.
Farmgirl Re he got life in prison this happened years ago
In Italy it's recently become mandatory to have a baby seat that has a built-in alarm system that goes off when you step out of the car and leave the baby inside.
this is a really wonderful idea, and i’m glad they implemented it as a law
Wow, I think it’s a sign of the times that mothers/fathers are so stretched that this reminder was necessary. 🥺
@@Jdjustsaying yeah, especially now. A lot of parents are so physically exhausted that their minds blank. The car alarm is a great idea. However Ross definitely did this on purpose so he has no excuse.
@@Boing2699 this is incredibly stupid and just a forced buy on families. Here in Italy in 30 ys happened 8 times. By this numbers, bread and mozzarella should be banned because of the number of children died by suffocation.
@@storiesgirlll that's an interesting detail. Prompts me to think the law in Italy is performative and/or fueled by a desire to protect the companies manufacturing these seats, more than the children forgotten in them. Only eight cases... I wonder if one of them involved a suit wherein a parent claimed the carseat was to blame due to it being too _something._
A man recently forgot his child in the backseat and when he realized the child was dead he immediately went inside and took his life. He could not bear the pain for even a minute. This is unbelievable
That is such a horrific tragedy. I hope he is at peace.
His poor wife and parents..
When I was pregnant I was terrified I’d leave my son on a bus or something like that. He’s 32 now so I guess it was ok
India M I think that’s a rational fear. I don’t even have children yet, but plan too in the next 2-3 years and I’m terrified of all the random, horrible things that can happen.
I mean me too I get scared of little things that would go completely and horribly wrong throughout the day.
@@virgie4715 when the baby comes you will be just fine. Believe me you don't forget your kids in the car.
My life as a Addict in revovery Thank you! I worry so much already, haha. Both of my parents were garbage, they didn’t even acknowledge me for years and my mother still doesn’t. So I guess my fear really goes to back to not wanting to be like them, if that makes sense. I just hope I have the motherly instincts that my mother was lacking.
@@virgie4715 it definitely makes sense!! My parents are both addicts and alcoholics and I'm not even sure they can be considered parents. By my 13 birthday, I'd had enough and left home and never went back. Growing up that way instilled a fear of being a mom in me. I was sure I'd end up being as crappy as my parents were at it. Today, I have a 7 year old, an 8 year old and I'm pregnant. I LOVE being. Mom! You can break the cycle! I can't imagine missing out on being a mom just because I had crappy parents! Silver lining of growing up like that was that it taught me what I'd NEVER do if I became a mom🤗
What I want to know is, if the police had to tell her that her son had died, who was he on the phone to while a stranger was giving CPR to his dead baby?
probably with one of those 30 other women and/or men 😂
@@someone-on7hh he's really not that picky huh. I see he likes to keep his options very open
@@someone-on7hh or underage girls lmao
Good point lipstick.
The police would have found out when they searched his phone records.
He had called Leanna but didn't get an answer, but probably also 10 of the chicks he was messing around with, I just know the phone call to her is for sure.. I think they were playing phone tag or I'm not sure I saw that detail in another video on this..
12:58 He takes a break from crying to look at the camera to make sure his performance was being watched. Very telling!
murphy farm i thought i was the only one who saw that
it's funny lol
@@lilianamendez8859 I think it was mentioned in the vid
oh snap! good eye!
That haircut tho?!
I can understand making a fatal mistake like the dad did. I can even understand the mom wanting to comfort the dad in this situation rather than tear into him. I can only imagine the mental turmoil that making such a mistake can cause you, let alone being berated by your spouse over it. We’re all human and we make mistakes with many different degrees of consequence. Holding a grudge won’t undo things that happened. So, I don’t find the mom’s first interaction with the dad since the incident all that suspicious.
BUT the fact that he visited his car during lunch, the fact that he backed the car out of his parking spot (a task that required him to look through the rear of his car) and the fact that the mom said “did you say too much?” are all extremely suspicious.
Exactly correct!!
You are totally correct. And the mom stated at the daycare that she hope he didn't leave the baby in the car as if he's done this before. Like why make this statement 😒 🙄
So we’re gonna ignore the fact that he backed his car in, meaning he turned around or atleast looked in his mirror? He would of seen cooper awake
i never realized that
I just watched a dateline episode on this, and the host got into a car of the same make and they said that if he turned around, then he would have seen his child, but if he just used his camera, then he wouldn't have turned around and couldn't have seen him. BUT the episode also showed that Ross had gone out to lunch with some friends, bought some light bulbs, returned back to work, and went to his car and tossed the bulbs in the passenger seat....yet he still didnt see his child..?
If the child was rear facing you can’t see them in their car seats. I know I can’t see my kids bodies cause they’re rear facing. But I also have never even almost forgot my child in their car seats and my kids are quite and don’t make any noise. It seems like this was planned to me tbh
I just realized that, that’s very true.
@@destinyheath6583 If you look at the quick images shown at around 7:37 of Cooper's car seat you will see that his red car seat was a very low laying car seat. Ross, being a large man, he would have seen Cooper's blonde hair at some point... Cooper wasn't exactly small himself and that car seat looks pretty small... There's no way in hell that man did NOT see his son.
It’s so obvious that they both planned it. “Did you say too much?” LITERALLY?????? She knows about this and she’s also a suspect.
lou bear right! And the fact that she said he could’ve been left in the car shows you that she had to know something about it!
you both got good points. What would I think if my child is not in the daycare/school and I can't reach my husband? First thought did they have a car accident? are they both missing? Not omg my husband left my child in the car? She never mentioned something like this happening before or being common so how did she jump to that conclusion
You guys are right! But why would she do that if she was SO desperate to have a child?
Some people do repent having a child even after trying so hard to get pregnant. Many people have confessed at least online they felt the push by society to have a child that they felt that's what they wanted but after having them they hate being a parent.
Leticia Barake Her marriage was obviously not going well. Fresh start?
What my mom did with my baby brother to make sure she didn't accidentally leave him in the car was to take off one of her shoes and put it in the back seat with my brother, so when she would have to get out and go to work, she would have to get in the back to get it. This meant she would see my brother and would never accidentally leave him in the car. I think that this is a great idea for moms who worry about this, so u can ensure that you child is safe.
Edit: To the people who are upset that a mom would even leave their child in the car,
Its better than completely forgetting ur kid in the car. Leaving ur shoe is just to ensure that you never forget them. Even if u always remember ur kid, better safe than sorry.
White Orchid and Kayleigh Ritchey first WO Some people forget things when they are in a rush and KY u do whatever helps u
That’s a great idea! I leave my keys next to my little guy’s car seat (my car is push to start). Cell phone would work too
That's and amazing idea. Even if she were never to forget, sometimes having the security is safer.
Kaylee Ritchey great idea
White Orchid you’re so ignorant
The moment Ross said, "My life is ruined." instead of having any regard for his son - I knew he was guilty.
From what I saw, she was definitely involved too. I think maybe she didn't know about all the cheating and after that she was totally fine throwing him under the bus. But her reactions we're super suspicious. It seems like they just couldn't convictor because he didn't have enough incriminating evidence.
Alina Alive *were
Agreed, tbh
Alina Alive j
But then that would mean he would be admitting his guilt too and his pride would be too high to do that
agreed!
I feel like with the wife's reaction in the police station, when they were being filmed together, is very telling of the dynamic between the two of them...look at how she's literally at his feet holding his hands and comforting him. He was probably king in their relationship, until they had their son who naturally needed more nurturing and attention from his wife than he was comfortable giving up. I bet he was jealous of his son and all the affection and time he took up from HIS wife....I definitely feel he did this on purpose.
facts
yeah why she squat on the floor looking up at him with his hands in her hands. i wouldn't squat for anyone who's the same height as me. why do women worship men like that? that is bizarre!
@@dw-oc7uj lonely desperate women, i understand them.
Meloncholiac that's a very good point that hasn't been brought out!! I bet you are so right!!! He wanted all of the attention, being a narcissist sociopath! It's obvious from what all he did. And then he started up even more, with all of the cheating, to get the attention from the females. Wow.
Poor little boy, He deserved so much more. 💕
It was clearly premeditated by both of the parents. "Maybe Ross left him in the car?", "Did you say too much?". She knew. The internet searches? He knew.
How the heck did he get 30 other women interested in him...?
Peyton Stanich 😂😂😂
Catfishing
truth
There must be some EXTREMELY desperate fools out there. This guy disgusts me to the point of nausea
Don’t forget he was also cheating on his wife with men too..
"How do you feel about your ex?"
"He humiliated me"
Also he killed your son??
That bothered me too. She didn't say anything about her son. Her behavior is very suspicious. I think they both decided to do this together.
It’s actually a thing that when bad things happen to a mother’s kid, they create false memories and can’t accept what happened. It’s pretty common coping mechanism.
Her brain might not be letting her accept that he murdered her son because the idea would be too painful.
Example, mom to this day still denies her ex husband use to leave us covered in bruises and welts from beatings even though she saw him do it.
Also she could feel guilty about not protecting her son. "He humiliated me. I trusted this man, a father that was supposed to protect our family, and i should have had better judgement, but i didnt." Sometimes i say words but i mean something different.
Edit to say that I just came at the part where she found out he was cheating on her. That would definitely be humiliating. She has every right to feel that way. He killed his son and cheated on his wife. That's not something that I would be proud of.
She also said, "he ruined my life." That was the feeling from her son being deceased.
I thought the exact same THING
This makes me want to start looking into cars checking for babies (or pets) every time I walk through a parking lot.
Amen🙏🏼
it's a good idea, just throw a glance at least to make sure!
Natalie Marie I’ve seen a car seat with a real looking baby doll in it and I ran up to the car and was beating on the window and then the mom and child walked up(was at a grocery store) and was like wtf and I said You left a baby in there!!! Mom was like what??? And she looked in and laughed, and said it was the kids baby doll 😮
Definitely people do that. It helps. And I’ve heard stories.
Natalie Marie that’s what I do
As a mother , this story literally makes me want to cry . How could someone hurt a beautiful baby like that ?
And it's a horrible way to go too.
I literally got nauseous when he said he wasn’t getting enough air.
It’s like he was mocking what he done. What sick fuck
Same!
Me too. He only got a hint of what that felt like for his son. Just heartbreaking
Preplanned for sure! "Did you say too much?" and "Where's my husband?" says it all!!! And not blaming him for killing their child!!! FGS! They should be both in jail!!! For good!
And the fact that her first reaction at the daycare was "he left him in the car"
I think too much of what she says points to planned for sure. But then the minute she found out about his cheating she was game to throw him under the bus. She seemed far more bothered about that than him killing their child.
Nap Queen you would think tho that even after he was found guilty, knowing all she said in court..why wouldn’t he just throw her under the bus if she had something to do with it? Why would he take the whole rap when he could have outed her as the one that planned it for a reduced sentence or something. It happens all the time. She definitely acted odd..especially the “he left him in the car” and not even reacting to her son was deceased. I would be in the psych hospital..not asking to see the person who left my son in the damn car all day.
Crap I don’t know what to think
Honestly if i find out that my child is gone and my husband cause it its over im fighting
You know I wonder if this dude was abusive and that's why she knew he did it
So he took the kid to get breakfast, introduced him to all then staff then minutes later forgot about him completely?
I 100% think it was on purpose. I saw a genuine one where the mum would take baby to daycare and then go to work every day, she was asked to pick up doughnuts for work so did that first instead of going straight to daycare which was out of the routine, forgot about the sleeping baby in the back and drove to work on sort of autopilot. Think he saw that and was trying to recreate it so went there and made sure to introduce him to all the staff and make a big point of it
@@clairelouise3591 good points! I thought the same, that he wanted to staff to remember him and say he was acting normal and the child was fine
Like REALLY
Yeah right 👍
so that the staff could later think "it couldnt have been on purpose, that man was so nice this morning." completely put on.
I’m the father of three children including twins who were very premature. I understand being a new parent is exhausting. However to me forgetting a baby in the car is like going to work and forgetting to put my pants on. Unless I was blindingly drunk, in which case I could not drive, I don’t see how it’s possible. I have difficulty believing it.
Yessss, I've gone DAYS without sleep and cannot even begin to imagine how this happens. I'll never understand!!!
I don’t think it’s unbelievable at all, especially as a neurodivergent person. I stick to routines every single day, and occasionally break them. Sometimes I get so stressed about the prospect of forgetting something minor that I forget something major. This, on top of stress, leads to being scatterbrained. Kendall also explained that this has genuinely happened to parents that honestly forgot.
Poor baby, the only people he relied on to protect him and love him unconditionally murdered him. I'm so heartbroken by this 💔 RIP LITTLE ANGEL 🙏❤
She seems more hurt about him cheating rather than losing her son.. SMH
I literally just typed the exact same comment before I scrolled down and saw yours
And she googled on her phone "father forgets child in car" that screams this was both of them, not just him
Michelle Rene really? Where did u hear that?
@@michelleromero3615 where did you hear that?
@@usernotfound4128 posted link below sorry I didn't see this until now.
The fact that he watched those videos 5 days before... he knew not only what he was doing, but how his baby would feel during the whole process.... what a sick human being.
Beyond vile
On the documentary on tubi called fatal distraction his wife said that the prosecutors were never able to show that he researched children dying in hot cars she said it was a false statement
i just want to mention in these comments that otherwise extremely loving, attentive parents can experience this phenomenon. it typically occurs in instances where a very young child falls asleep and isn't making any noise. it's also much more common with kids who are too young to speak and object to being left in the car alone.
psychological phenomenons like these always seem so outlandish and unbelievable, until they happen to us. the brain does not function well when persistently deprived of sleep, and when you do something every single day, you often go into autopilot- for example, have you ever driven somewhere you go often (school, work, etc) and spaced out for the whole drive? you just arrive at your destination with NO memory of how you got there? your brain just knows the route and takes over for you while you're not fully aware. it's insanely dangerous but it happens all the time, it happens to me sometimes on my way to work. it happpened to me often when i was in high school.
additionally, false memories are a lot easier for our brains to conjure up than we think. if a tired parent drives to work completely zoned out, with a silent child in the backseat, their exhausted brain can sometimes conjure up false memories (based on previous experiences during previous days) of them dropping their child off.
it's tragic, it's awful, but that doesn't make it something that only an evil person is capable of. we should be focusing our energy on sharing tips on how to AVOID forgotten baby syndrome, not shaming those who have ever experienced it.
(that being said- ross is guilty as fuck. this was premeditated.)
Happened to me with my son that was born in 2012 just like Cooper😢 he was 3 months and I went in the store for like 15 minutes. He was quiet and I forgot he was with me until I came out and got in the car needless to say I was soooo scared because I live in Phoenix. But by the grace of God my baby boy is alive today so that why it's really hard for me to judge parents who do it because if a mom like me can do it anyone can
It's hard to believe a parent would do this on purpose but in this case, I think his actions point to he absolutely did. When he went back to his car, how could you not see your son in the back
It's not mentioned in this video, but I've read that it was a rear facing car seat the baby was in. So it is plausible that he didn't notice him. I still think he's guilty, though.
I am sure the car smelt rotten so he must have smelt that. The child must have peed and or pooped and sweated and the heat would intensify those smells ...
He definitely would have released his bowels + the heat would have made the smell assaulting. I got the tiniest bit of puke in my car here in Georgia (and it wasn't even *super* hot yet) and even after cleaning you could smell it for a month because the heat intensifies the smell. There is 100% no way he did not smell it when he went back to his car. He was probably checking to make sure he actually died. I hope the dad is somebodys b*tch now in prison.
Nicole M well he liked guys too so he’s probably happy there
Exactly and it looks like the car seat was in the middle of the backseat so he should have seen the baby in his mirror
Everyone’s talking about How Could You Forget Your Baby? I’m here like that Chick-Fil-A visit was weird. He acted as if he wanted Cooper to be happy for the last hours or minutes of his life.
I agree!!!
SAME THOOO!!i thought why you getting fast food in the morning w ur kid (they probs had even breakfast tho) But i think it was more like a show off. Like kind of proof that he cared/loved his son. With footage like this people could go like "ohwww he cares/loves him and totally didnt forget him in the car while getting food.., he probs doesnt leave/forget him ever.. so maybe it was an accident?!"
I think he knew there were cameras in Chick-fil-A and he was pretending to be an awesome father, so if/when he was questioned he would say, look at the Chick-fil-A footage.
and who eats that crap in the morning? So weird but he looked like a werido
Why didn't the school call or text the mom to tell her her kid didn't show up? My sis works at a preschool and if the kids don't show up without a parent calling ahead of time, they get ahold of you.
i’m a teacher and worked at a daycare all through college. we didn’t call home until the 3rd day they missed school. it depends on the school i guess. usually parents would call if their child was sick or not coming to school that day.
I just said that.
This! In UK schools never used to call home if the student misses school but now it is cumpulsory to call a parent if the student doesn't attend if the parent don't call the school for safety reasons. I remember having to call each day to the parents for their child and one day we didn't Calling assuming they will be ill (as they were for the last couple of days) the child's dad had took the child from school without our knowledge
@@brainst3w I live in a small town as ND if my grandkids don't show up at school they call me within the first hour of school starting . That includes the Elementary school, Middle school and High school . As I had grandkids in each until this year .
Ugh and not as ND . Spell check is a pain
I think they were both in on it. The first thing she asked was where's my husband, not any reaction to her baby being dead. Me, as a mother, I would have been freaking out, screaming , crying wanting my baby.
When Leanna said “Did you say too much” the detectives should’ve waited 20-30 mins before coming in the room right away, to see if she could have revealed more information🤔
I was thinking the same exact thing!!! How I wish they would have, or immediately asked her what she meant!!!
Putting two suspects in a room together is a huge tactic detectives use. I can't believe they messed that one up.
It’s not a good idea to talk to the police without a lawyer, no matter how innocent you may be. Perhaps that’s all she meant?
To me, this was pre-planned by them both.
The police didn't want him to request for a lawyer before they were done interrogating him. Leanna's line of questioning "Did you say too much?" was leading in that direction.
WHY IS NOBODY MENTIONING HOW SHE SAID "MAYBE MY HUSBAND FORGOT HIM IN THE CAR" WHEN SHE WENT TO PICK HIM UP?!??
Yeah that is suspicious. My first thought would be that the kid was sick and that Ross took him back home or that something happened to both of them.
MrSpreadem I’m actually not a parent, and no I don’t think that alone is a reason to lock someone up. The mom was never prosecuted anyway so idk what the problem is. I was just trying to point out that the mom is suspicious by guessing that her child was trapped in a car and by asking Ross if he had “said too much.”
@MrSpreadem theres a difference between a child and a purse. A child makes noise, is bigger you would notice him in the car straight away walking up to the car let alone being in it. Even if he didnt you would hear him behind your or see him in the mirror.
@MrSpreadem I wouldn't want to take someones liberty away but it does make you question them. People get their blamed for less than that. So no, more evidence is needed. But it doesn't mean I'm brushing it off. This case seems foul. But again everyone reacts to things differently. But his behavior still seems weird.
@MrSpreadem she didn't murder her child he possibly did. It's not always about divorce. He could have done this because he didn't want the responsibility of caring for a child. Clearly he didn't want to be married either. Image is everything. He would not be okay being a deadbeat dad. But a loving father who made a horrible mistake sounds a lot better. He not only went to the car mid day but as he left work he backed out of the parking lot. He drove for a mile then realized he left his son in the car. You don't find that odd? It's like the Steve Avery case, the woman pi who were searching for Theresas car. She found the car in under ten mins in a massive junk yard and said God showed her where it was.... Mind you the car was at the end of the lot and where she came in at it would have taken her at least ten mins to walk straight there. Some facts you just can not ignore. I'm all for giving people the benefit of doubt. Somethings are just not what they appear to be. So we theorize scenerios based off evidence. Based off evidence he planned this it was not a coincidence and his wife possibly knew about it.
It seems that she loved her husband more than her son. Especially being more worried about him than her son being dead. A manipulating husband, tired of his wife and son. She know something about the death of her son. She asked him if he had said too much. Both should have been held accountable.
14:53 and the minutes leading up to that question from the mother sealed the deal for me. No grieving mother would behave the way this woman did or ask a question like that. She should be charged too. She knew the plan.
My mom when I was in preschool once went into my school parking stopped and then continued driving and started driving to work, at first I thought she maybe forgot something but we didn't go the way home then I thought maybe we were getting food but after about 10minutes I thought there was no way she could be taking me to get food and I asked her where we were going and she slammed the breaks and turned around and was so confused she told me she remembered dropping me off I used to think it was funny but now I'm so thankful I spoke up
Chloe Rheinberger Jesus Christ 😱 that's so scary
So he could've possibly done it on accident. Though, he was still a horrible person..
This has happened with my mum dropping me and my sister once or twice when we were younger! Just because we were so quiet for a while she kind of forget until we spoke so I can slightly see how it would’ve happened maybe but still no excuse especially with the way he was acting before and after it
That has happened too with both of my parents, they just got distracted, thank God I was old enough to speak up
I get this is a real thing. I literally do this at home with my oldest. Because he goes to school and to his dads. Sometimes he will be playing in his room make a noise or switch his tv on and for a second i freeze bc i completely forget he is up there then my brain goes "Logan" and i take him a snack up or something. I get its possible. When i first had him i was cleaning my kitchen and was exhausted bc he was a very emotional baby, and he was in his bassinet in the living room. I literallu walked past him to sit on the sofa and then he made a wimper and it made me jump bc i had practically forgotten i wasnt pregnant anymore and he was actually here. So i am completely understanding on this. With that being said i have the gut feeling they were both guilty tbh! Too much sketchiness
oh please, he looked at the video a few days before? and then went BACK to the car and didn't even see his son dead?! he is a 100% guilty. I'm so furious omg
Maja literally same tho and the other messed up part about that is that he was sexting with under aged girls and cheating on his wife that morning with not 1 not 4 but 7 OTHER WOMEN and with the sexting and having sex with the young girls is so messed up and he would be going to jail ether way because he was guilty of pornography, Sexual assault, prostitution, and 120% likely killing his own son. THAT IS 4 LAWS THAT HE BROKE, 4 LAWS! That is literally life sentence to prison
He probably was mentally ill and that video gave him inspiration. If we was mentally stable he would take that as a warning
The worst for me was seeing him say that he couldn't breathe because it was too hot oh please god. You deserve nothing but rotting in jail for years.
@@alexanepineau1737 what an eerie thing that he said that, too!!! Almost feel like it was evil --- intentional!!
I took my cat to the vet this morning and i wanted to get a coffee after. It’s 8:30am and like 72 and sunny. I looked at my cat in the carrier, she squeaked at me and I was like “you’re right dude” and we left. I couldn’t even leave my cat in the car for five minutes to run in a coffee shop in the morning before it’s hot hot bc I was afraid she would get hot. I can’t even imagine doing this to a baby. That poor angel.
Drive thru?
Kelsey 23 if there was one near by I would’ve but sadly some of them are still closed bc of COVID
Starbucks is pet friendly, go there with your pet:)
you're a good person who puts your animals feelings before your own! unfortunately there are many selfish individuals who tell themselves "they'll be fine". idk how many poor little dogs Ive seen left in cars with windows cracked an inch, like on the video. they're just idiots!! and I call cops any time I see them left in a car! call me "Karen" all they want!!
Jennifer S. I always call the cops too! You’re not a “Karen” you’re a kind person ❤️
If I’m the reason my daughter passes I am not sure I could live with myself. I couldn’t imagine. She is what gives me life. This breaks my heart.
It's the fact that he literally took him inside of Chickfila with him MOMENTS PRIOR to him going to work. HE AINT FORGET HIS SON WAS IN THAT CAR. There is just no way.
Yes it was HALF A MILE from the Chik-fil-a to his work... How could that very alert child eat and fall asleep in 30-45vseconds, the time it takes to typically travel half a mile?
And I am pretty sure the baby would have talked or babbled
It's strange that he opened the car at lunch and did not see him!
@Brandy Sutherland we didn't receive ANY info about an insurance policy! That would have been an interesting clue...
How the hell can you forget that your child is in the back seat??😠😭
“DID YOU SAY TOO MUCH?” UH HELLO
I just cannot think of anyway that could possibly make sense....
The fact that she was so much more upset to find out he was cheating compared to him causing their son to die is damning evidence that it was premeditated
As someone who has dealt with the death of my husband and later the death of my infant daughter, there were moments during both deaths, within just an hour or two, where i just went calm. Your brain doesn't know how to comprehend death. I went through moments of calm and then freaking out. I remember being like, "why am I not super upset right now? Why am I not hysterically crying?!" Everyone reacts different.
I’m so sorry for your losses. I agree totally with what you’re saying. There is no “right” way to react xxxxx
As a trained Nereavement Minister, a former medic, and having lost both my husband of r6 years, I know that there really i a numbness…that look like an inappropriate m/‘calm” that is very common during the first few days, sgyrt vhča death..
I worried, though, when she worried..out loud that he might have said too much. Huge red flag, for men. That suggests that she either knew, or suspected his guilt.
I experienced the exact same thing. When I lost my son it didn’t hit me until the next day. People criticized every move I made and it was extremely hurtful to experience such a loss but also being judged when I couldn’t even understand what I was experiencing or feeling at the time. You never know how your mind will cope with such a shock.
You would go into shock, then denial would set in, then back into shock. That is not surprising. Your brain can only absorb so much horror, that is why God has given us the break so to speak in between the shock and the denial. I don't think you would have been able to handle it all at once. The full force of the tragedy that you went through. Thank God for shock and denial and anger etc. We need those to help us get through the unthinkable. I am so sorry. May your Husband Rest in Peace, and your sweet little infant daughter is with Jesus Christ and so very very happy.
As disturbing as it is, the heat would have sped up the decomposition process immensely. There is no way that after 4+ hours there wouldn't have been at least a little bit of a weird smell in his car, let alone once he got off work. There is no way he didn't know that his child was in there when he went to drop off light bulbs in his car, let alone before pulling out. He did it, he knew he did it, and I think the only reason he might have regret is because he got caught.
Kitty55 that’s my thought too. I’m a vet tech and when deceased pets come in after passing away at home, they definitely have an odor within a few hours. How could he not have smelt SOMETHING during his ride home at least, or when he went out there to put the light bulbs in
Kitty55 I 120% AGREE
Your mini tributes at the end for the victims always warm my heart ❤️
Yes, her emphasis is always on the victims, unlike network television.
The only network show that ever focused on the victims was Cold Case, which was created by a woman.
Salt Life
I like your profile name...
My gut tells me that they were both in on it, and that she felt pissed and betrayed when she found out that he was cheating on her.
That!
I agree,,, I thought that as soon as I saw her reaction at the daycare.
But why punish the son for his father's philandering? She had to be in shock.
@@virginiaconnor8350 that's not what I'm saying. She had other reasons for wanting her son dead, and the two of them were in on it together. Only after he was dead did she learn that her husband was cheating. Hope that clears things up :)
@@punkrocksmidge Yes. Thank you.
“He ruined my life, he humiliated me” etc, and never mentioned that he KILLED A BABY
Yeah that’s what bothered me
Leaving kids in a car, accidentally or on purpose makes me SO angry. Those poor children, suffering in the heat. It hurts my heart so bad.
mswhittaker231 Waze is an app that gives you driving directions. I didn’t know this was a thing till the app updated an option you can turn on an option called literally CHILD REMINDER . As a description it says “ Get reminders to check your car when you arrive “ you can also add a personal message . I guess it’s not as random as I thought,
Same here
mswhittaker231 not just kids.. Animals too
I know! Almost as bad as letting a kid go hungry!
“Did you say too much”, said it all for me.... she was so cold..
She was okay with it until she found out about his sexting, cheating.
I think she really believed he was too tired and forgot their son. She was tired too and she was at work when he was supposed to be dropping him off. Mothers feel guilt when this stuff happens when they weren't with their kids. He conned her.
With the fact that her child is not at daycare and she jumps to the idea of maybe her husband left him in the car and killed him? Why wouldn't you have just thought maybe my husband was late for work or something, and text him to see where he's at? I feel like that was her way of making sure someone could testify that she didn't know where her son was and was "shocked" that he wasn't in day care. Because its not like she had been searching for him and daycare was the last place to look, there's a million other reasons he could have not been there other then he's locked in a car
@@jrh7693 I would agree with you that it is weird she jumped to that conclusion, however, for one no one came into the daycare who didn’t usually come in that we are aware of. 2. It’s clear they had both heard of children being left in a hot car. She most likely knew something had happened while he was in the father custody and didn’t want to believe Ross had purposely killed Cooper.
It’s hard to not believe she was in on it when she suggested her husband may have left the child in the car. It was the afternoon when she was picking him up. You think she would wonder if her husband got off work early, or maybe something had happened to them on the road and she for some reason hadn’t been notified yet... it’s too specific. Then - when she’s told her child was found dead, all she can say is, where is my husband? No anguished cry, or “omg” or surprise. And the shady comment to say to him - “did you say too much?”
I love my husband and he’s a great father, if an accident like this happened - I would not be able to not be angry with him and ask him how he could forget and etc. It just has too many red flags. I know she has the sippy cup and raises awareness now... but potentially she could feel immense guilt for being in on it? Or, maybe she suffers from a condition where she enjoys attention, and losing a child and then running a awareness of FBS might be what she’s getting out of that? Idk just some thoughts
"Did you say too much?"
She knew. She was in on it!
"You've said to much."?? They murdered that baby.😡As horrible as it is, not all parents love their kids.
💜RIP baby boy💜
They set that up. Any parent can see this! I freak out and cry at the thought of losing any of my babies. I would be a mess if it actually happened. That poor baby deserved so much more.
Also, I have gone 24+ hours with no sleep and I still remember to check on all my kids. Sleep deprived or not they come first.
MrSpreadem I really hope what you said is a joke 😂. I’m going to take it as one because of how ignorant it sounds.
Pre-planned. The father of my children cheated on me in various ways but never, not even once did he EVER forget our children. He is the most absent minded person I have ever met in my life too, and nope, still not once did he forget. This man, guilty af. He is exactly where he belongs. Most men usually stuck in his situation murder their wives but he went after the child.
@
pai phi this is so true
She was talking about her sons death to her husband like her child's fish just died
Brooo I actually cried when my fish die usually and I run a sort of fish rescue so it can happen a lot
Really i would be out of my mind
It's repulsive.
I've literally shown more emotion for a dead goldfish than this woman showed for her child
I was more upset when my turtle died.
The mom was 100% in on it. To be SO calm while being told your child is dead and only reply “ where’s my husband ? “ no. No no no.
I find her chilling.
And imo she was more upset about him and his cheating ( how he got one woman is worrying, but then cheating multiple times 🤮🤷🏻♀️)
Their conversation after was unbelievable.
and saying bet he’s left him in the car…. i wouldn’t think of that to start with.
That doesn't mean anything.What would her panicking accomplish?Don't tell people how to grieve.
@@lauraprosser5084 no of course she can also grieve like a complete psychopath with no emotions at all! Her baby literally died the most painful and torturous death. There are many different ways of grieving but having no mimic or emotion in your voice is not normal!
@@lauraprosser5084 i also love how at the stand she said that „he ruined her life“ and then continued to say that he humiliated her and ruined her trust not one word of him purposely killing their son! She thought the murder would fix their marriage but then found out that he cheated so much on her that there was nothing left to be fixed! Absolutely disgusting!
I've always been told, to prevent Forgotten Children Syndrome, leave your purse or whatever you need for work in the backseat so when you reach for it you see your baby.
Jennifer Mathis it’s a good idea. But I think it’s tragic that a purse, briefcase, or cell phone is something you look back for, but not your baby.
A shoe!! I forget my purse/wallet all the time, but you’re definitely never gonna get out of the car with just one shoe on!
you would forget your child but not your purse.
You've must not have heard about forgotten purse syndrome.
Jennifer Mathis yeah they say to take one of your shoes off and put it in the baby’s car seat.
Kills her baby: Eh, are you okay tho?
Cheats on her: You've ruined my life.
🙄🙄🙄 gross! I cannot
She’s insane 😶
Ikr!! He killed her son but shes got more to say about his cheating
and in court 'he ruined my life i won't be able to trust anyone again' but doesn't mention the fact he killed their son...
I thought the same thing. They both need to be in jail
It was no accident, he went to the car during lunch not to “put lightbulbs away” but to check if his son was dead yet
Hey yeah! That never dawned on me. I have watched this story time and time again. And that thought never crossed my mind. Good thing I I'm not a detective.
I agree! and it makes me sick every time I remember that he even has the nerve to check if he was dead or not
@@waynesmith7556 Thank you. I appreciate that.
To me it looked like he slammed the car door shut in an angry way. Maybe the kid wasn’t dead yet and it upset Ross?
I mean... right?
I was a new mother when this happened. I remember feeling so bothered by this case. I can’t understand how a parent could do something so truly heinous to their own child. So sad.
Okay as a mother, her initial reaction was not strange to me, because If I know that my partner is meant to drop off our child at child care and the childcare said that he wasn’t dropped off I would assume they are home or something happened (not something horrible maybe my partner wasn’t feeling well, maybe our child felt sick etc) so I would be calmer than the child care saying oh he was here but he disappeared that would make me freak out.
But once she said “maybe he was kidnaped” or “maybe he left him in the Car” I find that a little strange to “assume” that might’ve happened before thinking “oh he’s with his dad he should be at home” idk.. that’s me.
the rest.. well I have no comment he is suspicious 100%
paloma diaz but are you referring to the part where the officer is telling her “i’m sorry to tell you but your son is deceased” and then she goes “ where is my husband?”? because that is beyond understanding. if somebody told me “your kid his dead” my husband wouldn’t be even in my top 5 first thoughts.
A.Grubie no no no the first part i was referring to when she got to the childcare and they told her her son didn’t attend that day.
Then the second part is when she said to the childcare or thought that her child was either “kidnaped” or maybe her husband “forgot about their son in the car”, I don’t she knew at that point that her son had passed until the police told her? I think she first assumed it then it was for real.
Lanie Michelle Right ! I mean if my kid was with her dad I would not assume what she did because I would trust that my kid safe with her father especially if he was a loving father, so I think my reaction would be calm like she was once she arrived at the childcare to pick up her son who wasn’t there.
yea true. And then her asking her husband in the interrogation room "Did you say too much?"
Exactly! I didn't think her behavior was odd until she started talking!
I don’t understand why someone would want to kill their child...like it’s just so hard for me to comprehend.
It's horrifying, and many of us simply cannot understand the reasoning; I believe some people are so selfish, they don't want to be seen as, 'bad parents', by giving their child away, so they see it as perfectly reasonable to kill their offspring to escape parenthood, (i.e; Casey Anthony).
Similarly, with people committing murder because a divorce, 'would make them look bad'.
Right? I was just saying how my baby boy is my whole heart. I don’t get how you can forget your child in the car.
I don't get along well with my son.but he is my flesh and blood
Especially in such a horrible way. He must have suffered so much. :(
I know! Like, worst comes to worst, call the police and just tell them to take your kid to children’s services until you can place them up for adoption!!! Not saying this is the right thing to do, but it’s certainly better than killing your kid!!
That poor baby. I can’t even imagine what he was going through, crying, screaming just looking for someone to get him out 😭💔 my heart hurts so much. Fly high baby angel ♥️
I’m honestly surprised by Kendall’s reaction the moms “grieving” at the end. I don’t feel bad for her at all. I fully believed she was in on it. And I think she should have been charged as well,
She was more bothered about him cheating than she was about him actually killing their son !!
I feel like their might be not to their relationship especially if he could do something like this to a child.
Yesss.
What is her motive?
@@lauraprosser5084 children are a huge and arguably the biggest responsibility you'll have in life, not everyone realises this fully before entering parenthood, she could have gotten cold feet. Also if her husband also encouraged her she probably gained the courage. From what i've seen she was veryyy devoted to her husband so it might be plausible.
He did it on purpose! He went to the car to see if he was dead yet! Totally on purpose!
I think he went to the Chick Fil A to show what a good, caring parent he was. He knew they would be on video.
Both of you are spot on.
i agree 100%
April Davis i cannot wrap my head around this kind of evil.
He could have just brought the light bulbs into work with him after buying them on his lunch break, and sat them on his desk til time to leave, but going to the car with them, gave him an excuse to see if his son had died.
Even if my husband did this ON ACCIDENT I would NOT have been this forgiving -I’d be beyond pissed and beside myself.
I was thinking the same thing. I love my husband and he is a great father but there’s no way I would have been this okay with him “accidently” leaving our kid in the car.
I would have attacked my ex even though I loved him. My ex-husband has attention deficit disorder is on the autism spectrum. He never once forgot our child. I just think that something is going on with our society where people are so not present or something because how the hell do you leave a child in the car. This never happened with us growing up I grew up in the seventies and eighties and I'm 51. My son is now 16 and I just I know everybody reacts differently to grief and I've seen it over the years working as an RN im hospice. I seen the full spectrum of grief and people sometimes do act very weird. However when it comes to a child I have never not seen the parents lose their shit even when it's expected.
I don’t know how anyone can live with their spouse knowing that because of their carelessness, your child is gone. He would be a constant reminder their child is dead. Every time a argument ensued, I’d bring the death up. Anytime they said they “forgot” anything... I’d think of what happened. Has to be hard.
Seriously though, I really don't think I'd forgive my spouse regardless if it was an accident or not. Like they'd be a living reminder that my child died in a car because they didn't check to make sure that there was no other person in the car and I'd just feel every negative emotion looking at them. I wouldn't want to be in the same building as the guy without yelling at him, let alone asking if HE'S okay. Maybe that says something about me, but I would seriously hold that against him for the rest of my life, whether it was an accident or not.
Like Jesus Christ he said that he just watched a video about a guy leaving his kid in the car and you wouldn't try to prevent it? This would make me furious tbh.
I wouldn't, because he would be in a worse off place than I was. But I do think of him first lmao
what about when Leanna said, "Did you say too much?" When he was being held for questioning!?!? What the hell did that mean?!?!?!?!?! and also, when she was informed of all his scandalous cheating when she was sitting in the courtroom, she replied by saying, "he ruined my life. I am humiliated and I may never trust anyone again." she didn't mention a thing about the fact that his "neglectful absentmindedness" resulted in the loss of her son! THAT would ruin MY life! Not the fact that my husband was a dirty scoundrel! You can always find a new man! The fact that I lost the most precious, amazing little soul would be the end of it for me. I don't know... I think she's shady as hell. And I think she defended him on the issue of murder because if she accused him of doing it on purpose, he could come back and say she was in on it too! Or maybe she continued to defend him because she was just as guilty and admitting that he may have done this on purpose would be the same as admitting she was at fault as well. That woman is GUILTY!!!!!! That poor little angel and the suffering he probably went through. My heart breaks for him... I can't even think about it without crying! Thank GOD that poor baby is away from those people.
Julie Admave-Hartle ALSO what about when police informed her that her son was deceased, her first response was “where is my husband?” In a really calm voice. WTF?!
It is commonly advised that suspects don't answer police questions without a lawyer present.
Police questioning is commonly manipulative and they poke at individuals until it wears them down. Even a completely innocent person can “say to much” without a lawyer being present.
Ax l
MAYBE a person forgets stuff in the car. Maybe that's why she said it.
Think of it from a non guilty perspective, that's what makes sense in that perspective.
Layla W Not necessarily. Watch the show on Netflix, I can't remember the name now (Confession Tapes? Something like that) but basically it's about cases of people being pressured by police, recorded/videoed without their knowledge, etc, and then being convicted for crimes they didn't commit. It's freaky. Even if I was 100% innocent, I don't think I'd speak to authorities without a lawyer anymore, thanks to that show.
My mom was 19 when I was 4. She worked for Dean Witter almost an hour away from where we lived and we left the house at 5am everyday. I didn't have a car seat by that age and would normally lay down & read a book until she dropped me off at my Aunt's. Once she made it all the way to her office before turning around to see me asleep in the backseat & OMG I've never experienced anything like her absolute freak out realizing what she had done. She was so inconsolable & I didn't really understand why but like watching these people's reaction just seemed so off to me. Then knowing he watched a video about it only days earlier is what seals the deal for me. You don't watch something like that & then immediately do it accidentally.
Your mom had you when she was 15?
It kills me to think about that poor little boys final moments. Guilty or not, (totally think he is) - the situation is absolutely tragic. Rest In Peace Cooper.
My moms psychopathic exhusband "left" me in his truck in 100° heat when I was around 6. I remember looking at my red, swollen hand and trying to hit the glass. It hurt so bad I think thats when I passed out.
I honestly don't know how I'm alive.
OMG so sorry that happened to you! I taught my kid how to get out of her car seat and open the door if something happened to me and also how to get out thru the hatchback with the pulley to the trunk if she was trapped in the car. and also how to break the window in the corner area with the window device by her seat. I also had those battery operated window vents to cool the car. yeah, call me crazy but its Arizona and just a few minutes your car is a death trap!
@@farmgirlre4634
Absolutely not crazy. You gotta give your baby the tools to survive. Its clear to me you love your child but you never know who she'll meet. I wish my mom had cared enough about me to do that. Good on you.
asheresque luck
Omg that’s awful. What happened to that bastard?
@@farmgirlre4634 thats a great thing to learn
I've already watched this but omg the part about him complaining about being hot really gets to me
Princess Freaking Jasmine you know what just came to mind??! That for to mention, when he complained about it being too hot, but it's an eerie feeling that I got, when I read it in your comment-- cause the heat is what killed his son, and it's like that didn't even cross his mind when he said it-- it was definitely on purpose-- that man has zero conscience!! Nada!!!
It makes me mad that he complained how hot the car was knowing what he put his child through accident or not it’s horrible and I feel so bad for that poor little boy may he Rest In Peace
The fact that she was more upset and felt humiliated and felt he ruined her life bc he cheated on her but not for killing Thier child makes me believe she was 100% in on it and knew exactly what Ross was going to do that morning. I hope little Cooper is resting peacefully ♥️
I really don’t think she was in on it because if she was wouldn’t Ross say it??
The sweet little Cooper is with Jesus Christ, and so very very happy.
I envy your faith, even though I may not share it. It must be comforting.
the mother is sketchy too! police just didn't have enough evidence on her
@MrSpreadem you need to rewatch and reread all about it!! You should be able, to then see, the motive!
He planned it. The reason he went to the car at lunch was to see if the child was dead. But he wasn't so he delayed the discovery of the child for after work. He deserves the death penalty.
rissa woo chong My thoughts exactly
honestly that part hurt me the most... I can barely even type this but all I can think about is what stage cooper was in at that time and if he called out for his dad... I hope Jesus came and took him away before any pain or fear came.
He was definitely gone by lunch IMO though. I believe babies & animals succumb to death this way fairly quickly.
Ross deserves to suffer for the rest of his life for what he did to cooper. Sick bastard
@@twinmomma1631 I agree he was probably gone by then. I hope he didn't suffer too incredibly... but I don't think it was an easy passing, I would think towards the end he possibly became delirious so maybe that in itself was somehow helpful. idk so horrible to think how awful it was for the boy. He didn't deserve that and I do believe the dad & mom were in on it.
I'm a single mom & my son is almost 3. I absolutely do not believe that any parent could "forget" their child in the car. Are you not checking on your child during the car ride? Do you not think of your child at work? I'm constantly thinking of my son. Do you not call to check on your child when you go on break? I mean there's just so many things. There's NO way you could seriously just forget your child.
E L amen!! 👏👏👏👏
The brain can do crazy things when stressed and exhausted. And like she said in the video, people can actual create a memory in their mind of dropping off their child.
My mum has left me behind at places as an infant. It happens!
Well I mean clearly you can, considering how many cases there are of it happening. Especially with very exhausted parents as she mentions. But that was clearly not the case here.
E L people do it a lot, and not just to infants, that’s why there’s so many jokes about moms leaving their kid at the store by accident lol
I am very calm in emergency situations (medical training) and initially my first thought would have been “oh, ok. Don’t panic- hubby probably has them”. During this time I would have been calling hubby. If he didn’t answer straight away I would have started freaking out. Pure panic.
I would never have been like “oh maybe hubby left him in the car”. That literally wouldn’t have occurred to me- I would have thought car accident or kidnapping etc.
Honestly they were probably in this together because "he probably left him in the car" really? That's so specific and random at that. She could've said something more like "maybe he didn't drop him off today" the security footage she looked like she didn't care and was trying to look like she was frantic but had to stay calm because it is a place of business. The dad obviously passed the freaking street on purpose left the car chill as heck and went to work like it's another day. Then get out of work and get in the car drive for you said 1 and a half miles? And you didn't look in the back not on time, not even the rear view mirror. This is total bullshit some people are just not fit to be parents simple. I would never forget about my child especially after it took so long for me to get pregnant. Now some people honestly forget but these people are not one of those people 😌 And then he went back to the car during work! Didn't smell anything, nothing looked out a place. His lying, his acting is just horrible. You can totally tell he did it and the wife was along for the ride.
Alicia Bignall It was so specific like what's next "Maybe my husband is actually cheating on me and left my young son in a hot car to die"
I totally agree why would that be the first thing you think of. I'd think was there an accident the care factor wasn't their for either of them
My initial thought wouldnt really be to panic. Id be like "hmm. Why didnt he drop him off." Then ring my husband and be like "you at home with the baby?" And then as soon as he said no THEN id start freaking out. But if i knew my son was with his dad, i wouldnt panic just bc he didnt get dropped off.. bc my assumption would be he was still with his dad surely.. to immediatly go to "he must of left him in the car.." is sooo sketch. And the fact she went into that interview room all comforting of him?! Like i can't, she needed a sentence with that prick.
That and I thought it was odd that when they asked her about how she felt in court all she could say was that she can never trust anyone again. Why not mention your child in that
raechel gurung but there's video footage of him alive in chic fil a? how would he have accidentally killed him while driving half a mile in the car?
I still don’t understand why Leanna asked “did you say too much”. That’s still a missing piece for me
Absolutely agree. Plus her reaction when they told her that her son was dead? “Where’s my husband” WHAT. I think she turned on him in court because she ended up looking foolish when the proof of cheating came out
And the fact that she asked “where’s my husband” instead of something like where are they? Like she was only concerned about Ross.
Don’t forget when she said at the daycare “he left him in the car”
ooh na na whats my name ikr
my mother tells me all the time to not talk to the police without a lawyer present if i EVER get arrested. she's been saying that to me since before I was ten years old. My uncle is a lawyer and I guess she just gets really nervous thinking about it all. My sister was drunk inside of a mall and she was arrested by the police, and that's when my mother started mentioning to never speak to police without a lawyer present. i think that Leanna possibly could have the same mindset as my mother. I also believe that the way Ross mentioned how he recently saw something on the news about this happening, and how Leanna said he left him in the car at work. They must have seen it together. Though I 95% believe that Ross did this on purpose. 5% of me thinks that It's possibly this was truly an accident because of how caught up he was in his disgusting sexting. I am 70% sure that Leanna had something to do with this.
I think she was in on it. I think they both wanted to separate without a child attached between them. How is your first reaction to your child being missing “maybe my husband left him in the car”. HOW!!? Her reaction has been off the whole time. She quickly turned on her husband when she found out about the cheating though.
You're smart!
I agree but if he got sentenced then why wouldn’t he say that she was in on it too??
@@cassidyreecer1334 Because he never admitted it was a plan. He was sentenced, while saying it was a mistake. Had he done what you said, then it would be a full confession for him too...something he wasn't going to do.
maybe it's happened before and thats why she said that. It's pretty common for parents to leave kids in the car. I think he did it though.
I think so too
The minute you said he was complaining about the car being too hot, i immediately got goosebumps all over! That man is guiltier than sin
The fact that there’s something called “ Forgotten baby syndrome” what does that say about our economy and our family dynamic that parents are so exhausted they make horrible mistakes like this. Not saying this was a mistake but as a general statement about “ forgotten baby syndrome”
Maly Squade yeah I get it honestl I don’t think it’s that weird that he missed the turn. Growing up my mom would miss the turn to our high school all the time because she was on her “way to work”. Its the same “phenomenon” I experience as a driver when sometimes I end up at my house and be like wait I don’t even really remember how I drove here. It’s sorta like auto pilot. In this case though I’m just saying I don’t think it’s weird he missed the turn and drove to work. I think it’s weird he didn’t realIze he never DROPPED his son off or that he was in his car. Idk it’s really scary to think something like this could happen unintentionally so i think there’s something else going on
Maly Squade totally see where you're coming from. Absolutely sad how some people are left so helpless and drained, I wonder how single parents with no support system do it.
I understand what you’re saying, but how does that have anything to do with our economy?
bagel well, I guess the fact that both parents generally have to work to be able to support their family and everyone seems to be so busy and caught up with all the problems and distractions etc. It does kinda make sense.
Deirdre Smith I honestly think “forgotten baby syndrome” is bullshit. Blaming the economy or anything else seems like a reach lol. If you’re a parent of a small child you should reevaluate yourself if you can’t even remember to check the back seat before you exit.
“Probably left him in a hot car”, “did you say too much”? She was in on it. They figured they could get away with killing the boy by saying the dad “forgot”.
So evil.
I’m convinced she’s involved somehow.
Totally agree!
Agreed, Then when he got locked away she started playing her cards. Something about her makes my gut twist
I’ve always thought she had a hand in it! Her behavior and the statements she made were just to much! She knew 100%
She says "I'll never trust anyone and he ruined my life", BUT NOT HE KILLED MY BABY????
That was my first thought?!?! Wtf!
OMG - right?! That bugged the heck out of me!
I think she meant he ruined her life bc of the situation of what happened you’re taking something she said out of context
@@shavonstevens2260 actually yeah, good point- we only heard a snippet of her talking, so- very true!
RIGHT!!!! THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO, HOLY SHIT. SHE NEVER MENTIONED HIM. I think the officials knew/know she was in on it too, but they had no evidence to go on.
Poor little darling, how traumatised he would have been leading up to his death.. just can’t begin to comprehend 😭😭
I'm a nurse , so being calm in hectic situations is my normal. I get questioned all the time " how are you so calm " . However if it was my child things would be different. I would go insane.
same! LEO here.
Same here! Completely agree!
Yesss. When its someone else, calm has to happen. When it's your family though, everything goes out the window, it's all emotion
yeah exactly, i think working in a hospital opens your eyes in alot of ways, ive seen so much including people dying right in front of me, but i think it’s a different case when it was people we love, (i don’t have a child, however i’ve got a little siblings who meant the entire world to me) and i know i’d be nowhere near calm had anything happened to them
I was gonna say maybe that's why she was so calm at first. But now I kinda think she had something to do with it
"You know when someone is like fake crying and trying to get attention and you can kind of just tell" *cough* laura lee 8:48
cx_sudie _cx I thought that too😂 no tears whatsoever! If that doesn’t scream fake af idk wtf does 🤬
Who’s Laura lee?
Rolmfao!! Good one!!!!!
Laura Lee 😂
Cooper was only 2 weeks older than my son. His death shook me. I cried & cried when this story broke. They didn't deserve that sweet baby. My son will be 9 this August. Cooper should've been alive to see his 9th birthday too. 🥺😭
They did not deserve him. Plenty of men and women who would have done anything for that beautiful boy. Me being one of them. I have a 3 year old boy and hope I can give him a brother or sister one day. I will never understand monsters like this
9🥺 omg. poor baby.. didn't deserve this at all
Y’all, her reaction to ‘your baby is deceased’ is the clincher for me. I truly believe she was complicit. Maybe their marriage had fallen apart and neither one of them wanted custody. My heart aches for parents who TRULY accidentally leave a baby. I just do not believe that was the case here for either parent.
And to me her behavior after being sooo calm and even asking her husband “if he said too much” was so sus!!!
@@jasminesouth8207 it was explained in another video about this same case that the reason y she said this was bc Ross had a tendency to talk too much and make himself look worse bc of it. She had nothing to do with it, everyone reacts differently to trauma, she’s just a mother in complete shock.
MooWuu bringing the rationality and logic to the discussion. Thankyou.
He primed her to think and say that. He had spent days telling her how much he was afraid he'd accidentally leave the baby in the car.
How's the "Did you say too much?" thing not being further looked into??? It's so weird and sketchy.
Exactly! I have a feeling the mom had something to do with the whole thing too.
MrSpreadem we don’t know what went off in their private life or what was going on between them. For all we know she could’ve had nothing to do with it and he might’ve left his son in the car before. Her response could’ve just been her way of coping, or was worried since her son was dead he could be sent to prison. Or it could’ve have gone the other way we don’t know. Honestly I don’t find her that suspicious, her actions may seem weird but that’s it.
I feel like she said that cause she knew he was cheating on her (but not to the extent of the 15 year olds and such) and since she was comforting him, maybe revealing he's disloyal might immediately pin him as suspicious, idk everything feels suspicious and I can't come up with a clear side
It's hard to imagine how anyone in the mother's situation having the presence of mind to be caring with the father when they have just found out what had happened to her child.
MrSpreadem why would she want to murder her child ? Is their really a right answer to that question ? Obviously people that kill their children have some type of mental illness. You can’t do something that’s completely crazy and then have a logical reason for doing it .
“He humiliated me.”
And uhhh he killed your child??
I think she meant cause she had to listen to that in front of a court room full of ppl
Finding out her husband wasn't who he thought she was but that he was a cheating bastard
Her demeanor the entire time made me sick. She seemed to care more about him cheating than killing her baby
ThePeaceful Sage that’s very true and a good point I just feel like most people would be more concerned about their dead baby than being embarrassed by infidelity
My thought exactly!
@@AKARUIEXE so true but I've been cheated on by a guy who slept with men and women and I couldn't help but be so happy i didn't have kids with him when I found out.
sometimes the thought of creating a baby with such a monster is like.. Will my child be like their father? How can I look at them now
Idk
It's like it was bad enough her child was dead but then to learn the whole marriage was a lie including the child yall made together.
How can she ever trust anyone again
I think she's devastated over the loss of her child but I think she's angry at herself for not seeing this coming. For putting too much trust into someone she was supposed to be able to trust more than anyone
I think having to sit there looking at his smug face brought out anger instead of sadness
Just my opinion.. Idk how she felt just how I felt when it happened to me - minus the child
Now having a child im really glad I didn't have a kid with that jerkface
the fact tht she said 'Maybe ross left him in the car' rather than 'maybe he is with his father' ..... Suspishhhhhh........
Exactly, initially I was thinking I probably wouldn't be in a panic straight away. My first thought would be, maybe he wasn't feeling well and he stayed at home with the dad and he forgot to tell her. When her thinking goes straight to "maybe he was left in the car" that's super strange. She is dodgy too.
RIGHT! so weird to automatically assume your child is in danger when you're a two person household and you trust your partner.
Maybe she called him during the day and he was like yeah just dropped him at the kindergarten. That's the only way I can explain it
Agreed, it was very odd!
Maybe Ross had admitted before that almost forgot to her.
God bless that precious litte boy and all the children who have suffered such a horribly painful end. This breaks my heart. This has got to be one of the hardest cases to watch for me.
Also why didn’t the daycare call and ask why the kid was not there. Bad daycare
Daycares don't do that.
Klaus Brodeck well they should
@@klausbrodeck8663 yeah they do!
@@klausbrodeck8663 Yes, they do!
Klaus Brodeck depends on the daycare you go to. Many daycares actually do indeed call and ask the parents why the child wasn’t there or at least email or something.
My mom Put her purse and phone in the back seat and when I was a baby even her shoes next to my car seat in the back so there was NO way she would forget me...💕 I mean it works and could save so many kids lives!❤️💕 if you worry about this happening try it!😌
And its not about it being "something more important". Its about the thing you'd need in the moment when you go into work.
That is such a good idea
This^ this was my biggest fear when I had my kids (because post partum anxiety) so I did this with my work bag when I had to bring my oldest to daycare because there were days I was so sleep deprived I drive straight to work and I'd look back in the mirror and see my 3 month old just smiling in the back. I was late to work a few times but better than anything happening to her. It wasn't so much that the bag was "important" it would just always have me look in the back on days I was on autopilot.
Steph M Thanks for sharing your story!!💕💕
This is an amazing idea/tip! I'm pregnant now and already scared of anything happening to my baby. Add to that my natural forgetfulness and it's a disaster waiting to happen. But I will use this idea forever now, thank you very much
The fact that he rushed to get married and everything it just seems too good to be true. He didn't look like someone who is responsible, he wanted a way out and I believe that, that news report that he was watching gave him the motive.
Jayne Sixx yes, I felt like that new report sparked an idea inside of him because he could pass it off as an accident 😕
paloma diaz Exactly and he made sure it looked like a normal day and he knew that footage would make him look good. I believe he knew what he was doing and just acted dumb, if he can cheat and use a app he can Defently lie his way into doing some thing horrible.
Jayne Sixx he seems like a fucking idiot
Jayne Sixx Isi
He certainly got a way out
I have a little brother the same age as cooper and I can’t imagine what it would be like to lose him I almost cried watching this , this man is a monster and deserves everything and even more then what he got
When she said “ while cooper was sitting in the car dying Ross was sending nudes to 10 or whatever people” I lost my shit. Like how can you do that to such an innocent child. I’m so triggered rn😤
They need to invent some kind of app or device that detects every time your car turns off, triggering an alarm to go off to remind parents to check on their children!
Samantha Melanie my car has a alarm if anything is forgotten over 4lbs in the back seat. Unfortunately it's super easy to turn it off.
If I open the back door of my car when I get in, it alarms me to check the backseat when I get out. More cars need these.
Mandy Love, That is really cool! I didn’t realize any cars had that. What type of car do you have if you don’t mind me asking? And Samantha, I love the idea! Girl, you should invent it. :)
Shiloh Day, agreed! I hate the fact that children die due to being left in a hot car. If it saves even just one child’s life, it’s worth it. If I ever forgot my children in a hot car, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. At that point, I wouldn’t even feel as if I deserved to live.
there was a guy who invented a device that could be put in every car to set off an alarm if there was something (or someone) in the back seat! unfortunately it didn’t get enough funding to actually be put into circulation but i’m glad to see that some cars actually come with the option.
He even went to his car during lunch. This was premeditated.
Very premeditated
Idk how someone could do this it's just crazy to think because all my life I wanted a family that would stay together
Wtf
I'm not sure if it was or not, but this isn't evidence that it was. In fact, it would have made more sense to stay away from the car if it were premeditated. Nobody could have said he should have been able to see the child in the car.

Agreed!
Not to mention he could've gotten divorced and signed away his rights...
Thanks for doing this heartbreaking story I've just watched the trial I'm actually sickened to stomach he is a cruel nasty monster that baby boy cooper suffered to his last breath he deserves to suffer bad too rip little cooper
