This one hits close to home. It pains us that yet again, we have another absolute failure from our home state's child protective services (DHHS) to share with you. It's as if Maine never learns from the past and continues to allow children to die in situations that were completely preventable.

❤Drewby + Yergy
💔 these poor babies, I can't wrap my head around how people can do these things
100% Maine DHS is useless. Right now in my town there's a couple who are addicted to everything under the sun (meth, fentanyl, coke,I could go on & on) They steal anything not nailed down, have even been caught on video stealing & have even been caught smoking meth in their vehicle with their small child in the backseat! To top it all off she's pregnant. Her poor daughter looks so dirty & unkempt, a stark contrast from how she looked a year ago. Her hairs been all cut off as well. Her mother had her out at the local Walmart running around the parking lot playing at 11pm the other night. People have been begging DHS to do something & they flat out said "until something happens" to the little girl, they won't do anything.
Why keep havin kids if you can’t take care of them yourself… can’t blame it on everyone else
@@rc6888If Maine DHHS was involved & had identified this children were in an unsafe situation it's absolutely their fault for allowing a child to be placed in a home with zero oversight, where they are then abused to the point of death.
@@iLitAfuseiCantStop it’s the mom’s fault if she had her shit together all this wouldn’t have happened
Why does Child PROTECTIVE Services seem to not protect the children.
They always hire people that do not care about kids basically. And when there is someone who actually cares about the kids, they either dismiss the case and give it to another person or they fire them completely.
they hire the same trash that are featured in these stories.
Because they’re overwhelmed, understaffed and under funded. The people that work there are told what to do. It’s complex…. Not an excuse but it’s not just that “they don’t care”
Because they are nothing more than kidnappers and child traffickers, under the guise of "protecting children"
@@TheQueenOfSheba sure seems like they don't care and full of excuses.
Lazy? That word has never entered my mind when talking about a small child.
And called the poor girl a "drug baby" like it was her own fault she was born like that. Infuriating, what a heartless pos.
Yeah, a three year old. C’mon old witch!
It just as bad as parents accusing their children of "stealing food"
exactly, she’s a TODDLER, whats she supposed to do? work a 9-5?
It always breaks my heart when Yerby resorts to tears. I always cry with you, girl. Thank you for your service.
Me too 😭
Same here 😭😔
It crushes me. I just want to hug her tightly. Bless them both for all they do 😞💔🙏🏻
I honestly worry so much for the both of them. It's such dark content that they have to constantly research and do videos on, it has to take a toll on your mental health. I'm very grateful for them being the voice for these poor babies though 💔
same
Maine has over 200 deaths in relation to DHHS. Im a Mainer and DHHS has to be reinvented.
And cares
My dad a was a product of that same system, his mom was a welfare mom who had kids for a check, she brainwashed them into lying to cps with the promise of gifts
CPS in every state needs reformed and funded and I believe any person signing off on these child abu$e cases should be held responsible in some way.
The series I hear on the Misery Machine are horrific and break my heart.
I am a South Portlamd Mainer
It doesn’t look like my full comment was posted. I said that we need a new child protective service that is built by people who care
No obituary… The only people who spoke up for the tiny little girl were unrelated to her and unknown by her. And yet, they were among the so very few who had come to love her either directly or indirectly. She did not deserve an obituary in the newspaper… What she deserved was an article about her graduating from kindergarten in the newspaper, her name to be printed with others on the honor roll in the newspaper, photographs of her at homecoming in the newspaper, the announcement of her graduation from college in the newspaper…anything but an obituary in the newspaper printed before she’d even celebrated her fourth Christmas. What she deserved was to make snow angels in the winter snow, dance in the spring rain, play in the summer sunshine, and giggle jumping into piles of autumn leaves. Those who tried to help before her passing, those who’ve come together to remember her, and those who continue to make sure that others do not meet the same heart wrenching fate as her are each and every one trying to make sure that other children are getting what they deserve… Love, safety, warmth, and happiness. Never another unprinted obituary.
I love your comment as ur so very right thank you for charing x
Your comment brought tears to my eyes, so sad, so true, poor children, babies😪
#Respectfully 🤞🏽 😢
Peace, Love, and Blessings to all. ❤
When are the incompetent people that keep failing at their jobs be held accountable? Some jobs should have a zero tolerance policy for incompetence.
Lose your career and pay $1k. That's nothing compared to the terrible things the children she was supposed to protect went through. That made me so angry!😡😡😡
Honestly, as disturbing as this sounds, sometimes I do wonder if the CPS system genuinely prioritizes the removal + placement of more, uh, “adoptable” kids: that is fresh new babies and young kids who have no serious trauma history, attachment issues, etc. Otherwise, it makes no sense how CPS/DCFS are sooo dead wrong, so often, returning “damaged” kids to dangerous environments, while swooping in to “save” well loved kids from perfectly adequate homes.
The system is overburdened and underfunded and poorly run. Some people get into the job wanting to help and then get overwhelmed. Punish them for failure and we will have no child welfare system at all. No one will take the job for fear of a mistake ruining their lives.
I don’t know what the solution is…mandatory parenting classes/screening for all pregnant women? More support for struggling people? Maybe volunteer boards that oversee CPS/DHS and make recommendations? Something like we have for air travel…investigations are done and recommendations made without repercussions for the people making the mistakes…which frees them to honestly explain what happened so steps can be taken to prevent it in the future…
@@DannyD-lr5ygyou also can't discount the effects of low-hanging fruit. Its easier to ride a nice family for the small stuff than it is to actually fix a broken home
Right?!? I would get in more trouble for missing a shift when I worked at Subway...than these people do for being willfully negligent and leaving children and babies in dangerous situations where they end up de*d! 😢
My father used to work at the DHHS in Bangor. He told me that Maine doesn't consider beating your child as abuse if it doesn't leave a permanent mark. He told me he worked this case where a father beat his son and he got away with it because the marks went away. Let that sink in.
My heart 😞😭😞😞😞
That's absolutely horrifying, how is that even allowed?
Your father is a liar. That is NOT what Maine thinks as I am from here.
@@monsieurshaiit’s not allowed this person is stretching the truth so much it’s not even true anymore.
In Usa it seems like it is allowed and said to be dicipline but in the rest of the Western world it is forbidden.
Where’s the grandfather’s accountability. How could he not know that something was off with his granddaughter. Clumsiness, so the fiancée claimed, should have been checked out by a neurologist or at least a pediatrician along with all of the other neglectful blood, bruises and cuts all over the 4 year old’s tiny body.
Exactly. Didn’t think something was wrong with all the bruises?
Grandfather didn’t as Kendall where she got the bruises?
I was wondering that too. Isnt he complicit??
He ignored the babies injuries for months and months. He KNEW
He also didn’t write an obituary or hold a funeral.
It blew my mind that after being told that Kendall was in "time out in the bathtub", rather than check on her immediately, Steven went to check on his chicken's instead. Neither one of them cared about that sweet baby girl, she was a nuisance to them. May Kendall Rest In Heavenly Peace 🕊️😢💔
He may have been hesitant because of the gender difference. It's not really normal for a grown male to check on a female child old enough to bathe alone, bathing, if not necessary.
@@user-xu2vh1rl2k SHE WAS FOUR.
It's very obvious that Shawna didn't like her! She didn't abuse her own grandchildren, she didn't think they were "lazy" or "clumsy" or that they had behavioral issues. She didn't want to care for Kendall because she wasn't her biological grandchild. She is disgusting.
@@user-xu2vh1rl2kWell it’s still no excuse yes my mom was the main person to change my diaper and wash me,but my dad did it plenty of times. If my mom would’ve told my dad that I was on punishment in the tube(which she would never have done this, she was and is the perfect mom) he would’ve went in the restroom so fast. Both of my parents were 31:58 (my dad passed) and is very attentive still to this day. I’m grown and my mom knows when something is wrong. No excuses they are both to blame and the mother and father.I couldn’t even spend the night at my friends house if men resided in the home. I’m so blessed to have the parents I had and have. Parents and grandparents please protect your babies!!!!!!!
She wanted a paddle so "SHE WOULDN'T HURT HER HAND SO MUCH" ????
OMG I think I'm going to be sick 🤢 these trash people are disgusting.
On another note...I hope you two are taking care of yourselves and each other, these cases you cover are so very heavy.
Thanks for all the hard work you do to keep these angels' memories alive.
Rip💐💐 to both young girls 🌸🌸 so heartbreaking 💔💔
I thought the same thing, disgusting.
That got me too. And yes, these lovely people cover the heaviest cases and make sure we know their stories.
Hearing your voice crack reading this story made me cry myself. This story was very hard to hear..
I absolutely love your videos. I can’t imagine the mental toll it takes on you both researching and reading these stories.
Thank you for everything you do
🖤🖤🖤
I met an abusive man the weekend of my 17th birthday he was 34 he was deranged and ended up being extremely abusive within afew weeks. I cannot explain the fear I felt being all alone going through it and to think of a poor baby unable to comprehend why its happening my heart breaks into pieces.
I'm sorry you went through that. Are you safe now?
I hope you are safe & healthy❤
I know that exact feeling
Thank you all I am now safe it took along time but I'm free safe and happy. Plenty of issues but I face and deal with them. Life's for surviving, survival is life ✌️
@@budwhite9591 well ain't you a bag full of sense you must of been the most intelligent 17 year old that's ever walked the planet 👏👏 Well done...
And for your information he told me he was 30 and yea I was a very nieve 17 year old glad I can see through the shit now like you and your ora 🤢🤮
Poor Kendall never had a chance... incompetent care all-around. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔. Child Protective Services should also held accountable for failing this sweet child.
🤬
Absolutely Unconscionable.
I agree 💯
@@vivianaestremera5381 Unfortunately they never are , no matter the child or the state in which it occurs.
Exactly and they didn't care
Why are y’all so ignorant to the fact that state workers have like 5-10x the amount of cases they should. Would you or could you work overtime to do this? Or even do it? I could not. I’m not afraid of being ridiculed by telling the truth… because inside I know how people truly are. 95% of people who will read this will never be able to do anything like these workers do and see. It’s sooooo gnarly that my buddies mom STILL cries when she gets home almost every week at some point. And she’s a stone. Can handle anything…. So please.
These workers are picking up the pieces we cannot. Fuck…. Just think about perspective. So you wanna be overloaded with your job responsibilities and be in this job to help who wouldn’t, and all y’all have THEE BALLS To be asses about them?
No obituary? No funeral? I thought her grandfather loved her so much. Why didn’t he write anything at least?! This infuriates me to tears. I’m crying right along with you.
It also makes me sick.that her mother used her name & death as a way to try & panhandle "for her funeral" yeah right.
Exactly
That little old lady was so sweet. 🥺 at least someone loves that baby and made her feel special… even if it was just the cashier from the store. 😢
Everyone failed this baby. As a grandma, sitting next to my 3 yr old grandson who I watch while my daughter works, I couldn't imagine being without him. This broke my heart 😢
Maine CPS _AGAIN‽_
Have they learned NOTHING‽
Yergy and Drewby have covered a LOT of cases where Maine CPS was involved. They always say they will improve their processes, but they never do. Overworked and underpaid workers who don’t seem to care much about the children they are responsible for protecting. It is more infuriating than sad, in my opinion!
Maine CPS is a joke... they have zero care in the world for the children and all of the care for getting paid. They forced my mother to send my siblings and I to my biological father's apartment where we were illegally entrapped and not allowed to contact our mother or any other family, all while he was texting my mother threatening to kill us with the gun he had clearly displayed on the TV stand in the living room. They threatened my mother with prison because she refused to send us out of fear we would never come home. He has antisocial personality disorder, which is not recognized by the court system, which allowed him to abuse us for YEARS before finally signing over parental rights when he thought he would have to actually pay all of his thousands of dollars in back child support. We had a PFA against him for EIGHT YEARS yet that still wasn't enough. The CPS in this state has put more children in danger than protecting them. It is absolutely disgusting, and, no, they haven't learned a damn thing.
They suck in every state !
CPS NEVER takes accountability or changes for the better.
@@JenX_1973overworked and underpaid my ass.
Poor little lamb. Another one lost to hellish torture. Thank you for telling her story with such love and care. I wish I could hug you, your tears are more than that monster woman ever shed. Poor baby.
"Poor little lamb ", made me cry
RIP Kendall
Grandpa was neglectful...he should be in jail as well! He knew what was happening, that's why he called her in the jail to say he had no idea cause he knew they were listening. Nobody is that stupid that a child that falls all the time enough to bruise has not fallen in front of you😒. He knew but lived his girl more
American women are obsessed with jailing everyone
He didn’t do anything wrong or illegal, he doesn’t know what’s up
Would YOU think your daughter is abusing a child or would YOU believe YOUR daughter that it’s just some natural bruising.
Don’t lie to yourself.
He's what Pat Brown calls a dolt. As long as their means are being met they remain oblivious. If we jailed every one on this planet who is stupid and selfish we'd run out of space for all the prisons needed. It's hard enough to get real monsters put away
I just don't understand this! I have guardianship of a 2yr old non family member... She was left with me for 'a week' 16 months ago. I went through the court and filed for legal guardianship to give her security and safety of not being removed by bio parents on a whim or into an unsafe environment.... She was assigned a GAL, CPS came several times a month for 7 months, did FBI and DOJ national background checks on myself, my husband, and my 18yr old son... All of this was done with ZERO reports of abuse or neglect! So WHY do these babies in ACTUAL DANGEROUS situations get pushed aside?????
bLoOd rElAtIoNs
It's so incredibly frustrating, because sometimes, that blood related family is not safe. Chosen family can be so much better. ❤
@MamaLeahRocksIt right?! But if I had to do all that, with bio parents approval, zero cps history, a former EMT, etc etc etc how do these kids "slip through the cracks" (more like fall through the damn grand canyon) when there are MULTIPLE cps reports filed??? I just cannot understand...
Steven should be ashamed of himself. Deep inside, he knew, he is not stupid. No kid falls that much with that many injuries. He chose to bury his head in the sand, he at least had an inkling. INFURIATING! That child had no1 in her corner, especially not cps.
Too much work to actually do anything about it. I’m sure he’s a bare minimum guy like everyone else in this family.
He should be in jail.
while i agree with 99% of your statement and I'm not aiming to take away from the horror of this case (it actually makes me physically sick), But i can assure you that "no child falls that much" is a over generalized and inaccurate statement. When you have some time please look up Dyspraxia, it messes around with your balance and co-ordination and a child and even adult with dyspraxia is very very accident prone (and that's just one disability that does it.) THAT dosn't mean it shouldn't be checked out though because it absolutely should!
That all said, the grand dad should be getting some prison time all the same, as, as you say there is no way deep down he didn't know something was wrong and at the very minimum is guilty of a form of negligence known as being held complicit, that ended in the horrible death of a young child that could have been avoided.
Must somehow blame the man. She did it. Say it with me. The woman was at fault here. God, they said Kendall was "drug affected" that could cause motor skill issues (falls). The guy worked 60-70 hrs a week, and is supposed to kno everything that happens while he's gone?! Grow up, he felt bad for smacking her butt, yet allowed her to abuse her? No
@@thevolatilitywhisperer7616 So was he. not of the murder, but for compliancy you should look that word up you'll understand then.
I just cannot wrap my head around such cruelty to helpless little ones. This is nothing but pure evil!! I am a grandmother and great grandmother, they are everything to me.
What the HLL is wrong with people...
Eventually one must take a break from consuming this depressing material … but we have to know the truth.
Never!
I definitely take my brakes. This world is pretty harsh. It reminds me to never take anything or anyone for granted, and to try to be the love in the world. That seems so hard to find.
True, but so far I listen to each video as it drops. These stories should not be forgotten, no matter what.
I am always shocked 😳 I look at people differently,
It can be heavy and depleting for sure, but that’s why I follow channels like this: they handle the topics with such sensitivity and care. Makes it very different (for me, at least) than watching true crime tv shows that sensationalize everything 😥
Knowing she is lying, if my child or grandchild was “tripping on air”, I would bring them to a doctor.
It breaks my heart to see people not loving their children. To many people wanting a child to love raise and have a wonderful life.
This one hit close to home. When I got divorced my kids went to live with their dad as he had a better support system and a job with better hours. Everything was fine and I saw the kids on my days off, then he got involved with his future wife, they moved in together and away from his support system. Our two oldest seemed to be fine but unhappy. It was the youngest, who wasn't in school yet that started showing up with weird injuries and marks, which when questioned I was told happened when he "fell down". I asked my two oldest and they told me it always happened when their brother was alone with their stepmom. I started taking pictures and making a log of all the injuries. I warned my ex what I was doing and informed him that if things got worse I was calling child services and going to seek custody of all the kids. My son suddenly got less clumsy but then one week he came over with a bad head wound from "falling in the parking lot" and when I was helping him take his shoes off he had random scores of cuts all over the sides of his feet. all of different ages. I immediately called my ex and told him that was it and texted him photos of our son's feet, he made up multiple excuses on how they happened, like new shoes or the cat but none of them could be true. I took my son to the hospital to get his head checked and to make note of his foot injuries, when the social worker showed up I gave them the logs with all the photos. I thought that would be enough but the only thing that ever happened was my youngest went into day care, he would be dropped off and picked up by my ex. The injuries stopped and my son has since grown into a good young man with a good job. The truly sad thing though is my ex went on to have three daughters with this woman and despite her being a stay at home mom, all the kids went into full time daycare almost like clock work when they hit the same age as my son had been. When I asked my oldest about it he simply responded, "Well mom, not everyone has someone like you looking out for them and I can only keep them safe when I'm not in school." It made me sad and a bit angry but there was little I could do about it since I had never seen injuries on the girls. I really hate it when I hear stories of kids being abused by people smart enough to hide it and partners dumb enough to buy the excuses. I feel sorry for the grandfather here, he clearly loved his little girl but didn't know what to do to help her. I feel that my son could have ended up a victim like this if I hadn't done what I did. I grew up with half my adult family members working for some sort of child services and had heard all the horror stories from a young age. I wish I could have done more but my son turned out okay and I am thankful for that much, so many times they don't. Sorry about the long story but like I said, this hit close to home. Thank you all and I hope you have a blessed day.
When my kids were young I remember meeting a woman with 3 kids at the park. She told me was a single mom and that she wasn't employed. I can understand wanting to be home with the kids. Sometimes it's not worth it to work, spending all that money on a babysitter. At least until the kids are in school full time.
What I didn't understand was when she told me that her kids went to daycare fulltime, even though she's not working. It wasn't until much later when I became a more experienced parent that I understood why those kids were in daycare. Well worth the cost considering that it was probably the only chance that those kids had for breaking that cycle. It sounds like you did a great job with your kids and held your ex accountable. Too many people don't do that and the abuse continues.
Omg!!!!!!! I hope you and your children are ok and can heal 🩷
He's 18 now, with a good job and doesn't remember it, thankfully. He doesn't like his dad much and hates his stepmother but is wise enough to be civil with them. My kids try to watch out for their half-sisters but they all moved out, to my house, as soon as they graduated, so it is difficult situation. We all try to stay positive and try to work towards a better tomorrow. Thank you for your thoughts and I hope you have a blessed day. @@suptw4t
You shouldn't have told him you were recording everything he would've lost the kids
this constant theme with rage occurring over toilet accidents.
Right like they never had accidents when they were young themselves, and yet they manage to make it to adulthood 😡
The 3 little boys that lived across from me were finally removed 5 mos ago. I have been reporting to CPS and police for years. These parents had a 12 yrcold son removed 4 yrs ago and were not allowed to have any further contact with him and he was placed with his older brother. Be tween the oldest and the younger ones she had 2 more boys that she lost to their fathers. I know it's confusing but the father to the oldest won custody of him and then when he was 7 he allowed her to come back after her losing 2 other children to their fathers. She then had the 3 younger ones at home. She never went to the doctor and the boys had no birth certificates and had never been to the doctor. They were 7,6 and 5 when they were removed for abuse and their parents are not allowed to have contact with them. I just pray she doesn't get pregnant again. The father works out of town and only comes home every other weekend. I will never understand how CPS could take the oldest and leave the 3 little ones. They didn't go to school and never left the yard. They were not allowed outside until the dad came home. The mother has severe mental issues and will not take her medicine. God bless the little ones.
So that's 6 kids that were taken off her, 5 went to the state and 1 to and older child she had previously who was old enough to live on his own. That's 7 kids!!
Heartbreaking. Sending prayers.
I an happy you stood up for them, most people would just ignore it, but it’s a good thing you realized enough to call police and CPS even if they didn’t take it seriously at first
So sad…our system is completely broken. At times we unfortunately have to consider the lesser of two evils; leaving kids with neglectful parents OR take your chances with CPS, which could prove far worse for the kids than the abuse/neglect they were suffering at home😢💔
Poor Yergy sending you a comforting hug . It most be so tough for you and Drewby researching these horrific stories but we all appreciate all that you both do
I always think of the saying "ignorance is bliss" when I watch videos like this.
And here we are, willingly consuming this content to support those brave enough to share these stories. We're emotional and mental masochists I swear
It still blows my mind when I come into one of these videos and see the narrator crying. I've been on this planet for 30 years and I've never personally met anyone that cared that much about a child that wasn't theirs.
They've also read and seen pictures or know much more than can be shared on this platform. I've cried over other true crimes just depends on my mindset.
I'm so sensitive I cry for all these babies😭 absolutely shocking how people can do this to someone so small and defenseless. Incomprehensible
It’s called empathy. Do you have that ? Ppl cry for ppl in pain and ppl who pass that they don’t know all the time.
I was a CSI for a little bit and have felt a shattered and crushed skull…these cases hit harder knowing exactly what her head would be like 😔 thank you for covering these cases
That broke me...the shopkeepers words at the end just showed that there was someone who cared about her .
Did the clerks message to Kendall make anyone else bawl? Probably the one person on this planet who had the purest love for that baby💔
she was offered respite and didn't take it because she knew the caregiver would figure out that she was hurting Kendall-
What a tragic life. She was even abused by drug addiction before she was born. Neglected by her birth parents and then tortured by her grandfather’s partner. Her mother even got donations in her name, dishonestly. Surely her grandfather could see her injuries and realise they were not just from being ‘clumsy? If the lady at the store could tell something wasn’t right, how come he couldn’t?
I really hope you read this comment. It touches me deeply that you do these videos and I can see the care you have for these children in your eyes, it's not just for your video. I can see your true emotion and that's why I watch your video so often thank you so much for bein a human not just a content creator. Much love from the Adirondack Mountains
At some point the National CPS needs to be overhauled and thank you for bringing these voices of the abused to light. 😢
The ENTIRE DHS system NEEDS to be overhauled!
There isn't a national system, that's why abusers move from state to state. That's why the Turpin family moved.
@@jturtle5318 I spoke wrong I was speaking of States as a whole, it’s beyond time to connect the state by state, everything is connected except when it comes to the Children Protection Services, so many slip thru the cracks its absolutely shameful and sickening.
That makes no sense. With all the Supreme Court rulings and political fervor, one would assume such an agency exists, so I was truly shocked to Google that there is no federal system in place for the protection of children. But why?
@@elizaparakeet8769 Because there's no money in it. Voters need to start pushing for more money to be spent on education and child welfare. We could cut defense spending by one tenth of one percent and spend that $766 MILLION on children instead!
Soo...they didnt take that poor girl to the Doctor because the bruises wouldve made them feel "uncomfortable"??? 😲 TERRIBLE!!! Thats says ALOT
I watch every video. And at times I ask myself how I can watch this, then I more often wonder how you can make them. My answer to myself is awareness so I can help when I can. And at the same time realizing that is also your purpose. You 2 are the ones truly sacrificing. As much as it pains me, you 2 have to research each story. You bring voices to these innocent souls. You bare the hard job to bring awareness to the world. Awareness that SHOULD be automatic. I commend you always
That poor darling girl, Yergi, when you cried, I cried with you. Reporting these stories must be so hard on your mental health. RIP Kendall, no-one can ever hurt you again
Here’s me absolutely riddled with anxiety that my kids are going to get hurt , I cant comprehend how someone can do that to someone so small and vulnerable. Makes me seethe.
All of these stories are awful of course, but the fact they called such a young child "lazy" hit close to home for me. Even when I was like 4 years old some members of my family used that word to describe me. They psychologically abused me in other ways through my life. It's so sad the disdain the woman seemed to have for her own innocent grandchild.
This is just so sad 😢 that all these people who were supposed to protect this child failed her miserably!!❤ Kendall. I live in Australia, but I'll never forget her.😢❤
I live in NSW and our CPS is just as woeful! I know from experience.
Also live in nsw Australia and yes ours is just as bad cps always lets children down
How is she NOT a monster? What is her Lawyer even talking about?? - Jeremy Pratt, Gatto’s lawyer, said his client was, “Not the monster” that prosecutors sought to portray her as and said a life sentence was not called for in this case. “She is someone worth giving an opportunity to get out before she dies in prison,” Pratt said. Why is she worth the opportunity but that baby was not??
I watch this channel just about every day. The stories always sadden me so much, but I feel like these little voices need to be heard. So I listen. This one was so different though. I don't know why. It just was. Broke my heart. Anyone who has ever had a parent (or as in this case, a grandparent) who beats on them relentlessly, with absolutely no explanation of why, knows exactly how this little girl felt. I am one of those. I was the kid who basically tiptoed around, trying to not make noise, not be seen, not rock the boat even a tiny bit. I smiled when I felt like screaming. But thank God, I made it out. People always comment that I'm "bubbly" and "happy" and now, many years down the road, I am! But the memories never leave an abuse victim's mind. They come at you sometimes when you least expect it, and hit with the force of a two-ton wrecking ball. There are days when the subject (me) being hit by that wrecking ball feels no more sturdy than a haystack, blown apart and taken by the wind as that wrecking ball memory sings through the air. DCF was never involved in my story. The adult responsible knew how to hide bruises. She knew to threaten, that not one word about it was to be shared--or ELSE. And trust me, that OR ELSE is enough to still send a shiver of fear down my back. Thank you for giving a voice to the voiceless. Their names should be spoken. Their life has meaning.
Drewby and Yergy, the respect and tact you show is incredible, especially combined with the thorough research you do on cases like these that I've never seen before. I know that when we get a story from your home state, that you will handle it with extra special care. You did that today. Thank you.
Oh honey i know these cases of these beautiful babies and there torturous
Short lives has to be getting to you mentally. I hope you are taking mental health day’s and trying to clear your mind. You 2 are some of the most kindhearted people. I am am so glad it’s you 2 that are reviewing and posting about how special these children are. Rest easy and play forever with the angels.
Shawna knew how to look after children as evidence of abuse was not found on her own (blood related) grandchildren, but she clearly resented having to look after Kendall and so the child became the scapegoat, marked to receive the punishment for any perceived wrongdoings, stresses and ills of the rest of the household. If Kendall was so “clumsy” and developmentally delayed they would or should pursued getting the assistance which would have helped Kendall, and in turn Shawna, but they didn’t. That’s probably not only because of her injuries, but because if they did look into it, Kendall would have shown that she wasn’t actually “clumsy” at all, or at least not to the extent that she was capable of producing the types of injuries she so clearly had. Kendall was only “clumsy” when she was left alone with Shawna. I find it hard to believe that the grandfather was so oblivious to all that was going on …
RIP Kendal. Thank you TheMiseryMachine 💠
thank you both for your diligent and respectful work as usual
Thank you for shedding a light on this horrible traumatic death.
As horrible as it is to listen to, we must hear these , so things can change.
I think of my daughter at the same age as Kendall and cannot comprehend her treatment. Kids that age are sweet and innocent and looking to play. Breaks my heart. Sleep peacefully little Kendall. Peace and love to Misery Machine, this kind of content must be so hard to research. xxxxx 💗
What is crazy is that all those injuries and she’s saying she doesn’t know what happened!! Yea ok!!
The "no birth announcement, and no obituary" absolutely took my breath away. This little girl leaving this world as silently as she came into it is horrific. The fact that this woman at the dollar store cared more to check in on her more than others? Poor poor little one. Thank you for bringing attention to all of these cases.
This is an insanely tragic and senseless case and I really wish that people would start looking into these matters a whole lot more but as we know awarenesses where it starts and I'm really grateful for you guys . Yergy we love you guys so much and so many of us, myself included appreciate youre raw open emotions regarding these cases. I know it's hard to cover them, but we're really thankful for you guys..
RIP Sweet Baby Girl 🙏💖💖
My girlfriend was adopted by her family after being taken away by CPS
We recently found out she has a brother
The first thing she said when we found out was
"How T-F did CPS let her keep him"
CPS called my mom to come and get me after someone called on my stepmom. My dad had been arrested, and he didn't want to "lose" me to my mom, thinking I was safe with my srepmom until he got out. I was not. None of us kids were. Sadly, my stepmom kept custody of my half sister for years before losing her to CPS. I can't imagine how bad it got.
They’re too busy harassing families who haven’t done anything wrong. Happens in Australia too.
How could they?😢 Poor little girl. I can't imagine being a paramedic having to try and save this child and seeing the horrendous shape that she was in.
May she rest in peace and justice for her will always be kept. I hope she never gets out. As their is no reason for that kind of treatment. The system is so very broken for our children 😢😢😢. I am so very sorry for all the children that have to deal with this situation..Thanks for sharing with us take care.
People if you see a black & blue child call 911 it's better to be wrong than to spend your life wishing you had.
Yergy, I saw your eyes tear up and your voice waiver, I can tell these cases hit you in the heart. Thank you for sharing Kendall’s story even though it is hard on you personally
I don't understand these people with all these issues having so many children when all of us who have raised even one child or two and are relatively adjusted sometimes struggle to manage.
I thought the cps was supposed to prevent incompetent parents, instead of hiring incompetent parents and people. Wild.
This is heartbreaking 💔 this poor sweet baby girl.
Not one person protected this child. So many red flags.
Thank you for bringing us this baby's story. 🙏
Bless you, Kendall🤍🪽
Dearest Narrator I am crying with you. I don’t know how you can stand researching and investigating these horrendous cases. God bless you for your courage. Amen✝️✡️💜
How tragic on so many levels! No birth announcement and no obituary. It's like her parents couldn't have cared less about that beautiful little girl. 98/100 strangers at her vidual. Her Grandfather who didn't speak, and a kind woman who wanted to help her, but didn't have enough information to do so. At least she cared like she did, and even put together the vidual to honor a little girl she didn't even know.
It's difficult to hear you tell these stories, especially when I hear the crack in your voice, and know you are struggling to not cry.
God bless you for telling their stories, even though it's very difficult to do so. Thank You for caring! Much love and blessings to you both!❤
No matter how many of these videos I watch I can NEVER understand how someone can deliberately harm/kill a child. I had trouble conceiving my 2 sons. Then I was in the bed or hospital for 6 out of the 9 months and almost lost both when delivering them. I would NEVER harm a child. To me they are gifts from God. They are on loan to us until He calls them home. May God bless everyone on here. I thank you for sharing these lovely young babies stories. I pray for your mental health while doing these videos. Much christian love.
Omg yerge u just broke my heart crying babe😢
27:24 $1000 ?!?! Thats it?? She was half responsible for the death of this sweet child, and they just fired and fined her $1k?! FOH HOW MANY MORE OF THESE STORIES DO WE HAVE TO HEAR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE WITH THE ENTIRE DCS SYSTEM?? These foul workers need also be charged!! 🤬😤
This is horrifying to watch. I thank you for your diligence in reporting this poor child’s experience.
You are showing empathy and caring in what is obviously difficult for you. We can see your true emotion. You have kind and loving hearts.🙏
It was so hard to listen to… can’t imagine narrating it without tears… I wrote this comment and then you started crying, I’m crying too… Poor baby suffered so much..
I've watched every one of your videos on your main channel and this one really got to me. My little girl is also just about to turn 4 and every time you mentioned that Kendall would never see her 4th Christmas I just broke down. It's devastating that no one that was close to her loved her. She may have left quietly to her so-called family, but her story touched many strangers. Thank you for bringing her story to more people, she deserves to be remembered and loved. I'm so sorry that this happened to you, Kendall. Rest in Peace.
When you started to breakdown i felt that Yergy. You had me crying as well. This story hit hard.
I'm continuously frustrated by the irresponsible children who dump their babies on their parents. Although it was awful what the grandma did to Kendall, if you get pregnant, that pregnancy is your responsibility.
Oh my goodness. This is horrifying and the fact that it was done by her Grandma.
Bro at this point we need parental license at this point bro like it cant be that hard
😢😢😢that poor baby... She suffered in ways that is so inhuman...rest in peace, little angel...❤❤❤
Our Maine DHS needs an overhaul. It’s so very broken. I’m crying with you. Thank you both for covering this case so well. Rest in peace Kendall 🕯️
That little girl was so beautiful and they would be glad that you are raising awareness of these unbelievably horrific crimes against innocent children. So many people in this world don’t care about them or even worse it’s hard to believe but it’s true.
Thank you for covering this story despite the fact that it was clearly a difficult one. These stories need to be told. These children need a voice, and you have given it to them.
Come on , I am sorry even if the poor child "fell" that much then she should have seen a doctor for the injuries and cause of her falls, Sorry grandpa far as I am concerned you are just as guilty.
I know you bring these cases to light for a good reason. The tears you have definitely show how hard it is for you to talk about. You truly have a good heart. ❤
Im wondering what happened to Steven the grandfather He must have seen and know what was happening or get suspicious why this dear little girl was always covered in bruises . Its horrendous what some people can do to little babies and children. I just hope this vile sick woman never lives a day with any kind of happiness again. RIP little angle
These videos make me cry every time. It’s so important we remember these babies stories and don’t forget. Devastating.
9:40 OH DOES YOUR HAND HURT?! YOU POOR THING.
man. every time you get emotional so do i. you just send me over the edge. i really really appreciate you two for making these videos and always handling them with such respect and love for the victim.
Yergy and drewby we absolutely adore you guys for being vulnerable during this video, we all feel the same way. At some point cps has to take accountability for their irresponsibility of these matters. They continue to fail these children 😢💔
This is horrible, that little girl suffered so much in silence 😢she was nobody’s little princess,still she dreamt and felt like one at times😭she wore her princess shoes. Unfortunately, her grandpa didn’t even had time to play with her|.
How could someone be so cruel to an innocent child? 😢 RIP Little Kendall 🙏
I can't stand to listen to this any longer. The injuries being described are horrendous! The amount of children being abused is ridiculously high! It seems to be getting worse. This has to STOP.
My voice it's breaking and my eyes are crying 😭😭.by listening to this poor little girl suffering so much much from a evil person.
When I saw Yergy starting to cry & get emotional I couldn't stop crying.
Drewby & Yergy, I can only imagine how distressing and emotional it must be for you both to research and bring to light these heart breaking stories of the most innocent of victims in our society so I thank you for being a voice to the voiceless and for also highlighting the constant failures of Child Protective Services and other such agencies. This is becoming an all to familiar story in the USA, UK, Australia (my home) and other countries. Enough is enough.
Please tell me you two are taking care of yourselves with the trauma that researching these tragedies must be wounding you.
Sending love and care to you
❤🩹
I agree I couldn't do this personally 💔
Take care of yourself as you do these cases. They weigh on you and stick with you, don’t let the burden of sharing their stories dim the light that you bring to others. ❤
I love it when I see new videos pop up from you guys! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. 😊
My god ...wtf... These incompetent cps workers need to be held accountable and jailed right along with these monsters! How much blood needs to be on their hands before they're going to start doing their f'n jobs!!
Every home who has a report for suspicion of child abuse, should be monitored on camera by CPS 24/7 including the garage, car and their text messages, etc
A child's safety is more important than an adult's privacy. If they aren't harming the children, they shouldn't mind.
I don't agree but monitored by whom? CPS?
CPS should be monitored this way. We need to know if a case worker is doing their job and what's going on when they are not
Omg girl.... You choke up and I'm crying ... I don't understand how people can be so effen cruel ..Stay safe and as beautiful as you 2 are.. Blessings
