- Sean McDonnell was first given the name John Winters Doe. He was found abandoned outside an Arlington Heights apartment complex on a cold day in 1983. Sean was just hours old when he was left inside a dirty garbage dumpster to die.
The couple who found Sean are his real parents.
His father was a mailman, and his mother was a police dispatcher who were married and they threw him in the garbage like trash. I can understand why he is psychologically damaged after finding out that information.
@@j.daniels1548 his parents were professional people! 😯 wow
What?!? I assumed his mother was a child or addict
Sean, you are not a mistake 😢 You are loved....And you have a beautiful family ❤
They should at least be exposed. I feel certain that they have committed other heartless deeds.
He was meant to be their child. That's the important part.
No, it's not actually.
Yes it's the most important but he still has a right to pursue the suit against them .
Its plainly obvious that his Biological Mother is STILL a Police Dispatcher, OR she STILL has high level connections in the Police Department. I feel like the Police Department does not have a leg to stand on with threatening him with harassment charges. They know better than ANYONE; DNA does NOT lie!
The police department isn't threatening him with harassment charges. The family members he has contacted through DNA have threatened to press charges.
She was in her 30s and would be in her 70s now. So, she might be retired. But, yeah, I agree people in high places are protecting her.
@@M-Is-For-Margaret lol no one protects fcking police dispatcher wtf. The parents need to be known publicly first of all
GOD BLESS HIM.
This is so heartbreaking. 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is a very sad situation. I wish Sean could just enjoy the family that loves him.
Everyone deserves justice!
@@tinadiesman5442 justice is fine as long as you don't loose and destroy yourself in the process.
@tinadiesman5442 exactly
His story is sad indeed but he was so fortunate to have been adopted by such wonderful parents. I wish he were able to focus more on the positive aspects of his life.
Exactly. Seems he had a good loving upbringing and only recently learned about the sad start. ❤
He needs to author a book. It can be promoted as being fictional, BUT it does open the eyes of readers to the evilness and sinfulness of humans. I wonder if the girl born before him and adopted out has any opinions about her biological parents or abandoned brother? Apologies really do mean a lot to the harmed, but they are not owed an apology. It's the getting beyond that hurdle that is forgiveness in many ways. Forgiveness is the harmed persons recovery, not the perpetrators' rehabilitation. His adopted mums tears of gratitude that she experienced having him as her son are everything. ❤
I wish you love and Gods peace. 😢. You are not trash.You never were
When a mother abandons her baby in a dumpster and then threatens harassment when that child tries to reconnect later, she deserves to be held accountable. Why didn't the parents want to talk to the son they abandoned? Why not explain what led them to such a drastic action? I initially thought he might have been the child of panicked teenagers, but if that's not the case, perhaps his parents were involved in an affair, leading them to make this heartbreaking decision.
everyone needs a momma
Yes and he got the perfect parents that he needed not those two narcissistic monsters.
Amen. Everyone........
He needs to go to therapy
@@user-wc3tz3be1j they already told him that time limitations have been reached. He can either waste his energy trying to get vengeance or focus on how to move on from a traumatic birth experience.
@@malcriadamedina5358 It wasn't traumatic. He didn't even have any issues, had a happy childhood until he was told what happened. He's just overly self centered
@@amyrenee1361 What happened to him happened, and it is affecting him now. That's not being self-centered. Therapy is helpful for most people with much less severe issues, it's certainly a good option for him.
it's to Bad these leaders are soft on Crimes. . These Coward parents still should get life without the possibility of parole . .
You say "these leaders" as if the ones in charge today are the same ones who were in 1983. You can't retroactively make a crime a crime, and cannot re-extend a statute of limitations after it has expired. It's in the federal and state constitutions.
What happened was wrong, but justice was served because he was saved and treated better if he had been kept. People refuse to face reality, and the reality is: not everyone is meant to be a parent. He was blessed and he wants to seek out revenge? That's some cold ish
I am sorry he feels that way. Objectively I see it as the universe rewarding each of them. The parents who found him and adopted him were rewarded with a child to love and he was rewarded with parents that would care and love him more than his birth mother was able to. I wouldn't waste time on the past .. esp on someone that threw me away...but would instead spend what little time is left to make good memories with the people that do love me. Life is too short. Forgiveness is the key. X-o-x-o 2 u
Justice for Sean!
He got justice. Justice is about righting wrongs, not seeking revenge. This man child got a loving mother and father, had a great childhood, but he's out for blood. He doesn't deserve anything else. He's self centered and ungrateful
I hope he gets justice
The most horrible thing is, how many babies have been left there and NOT found?!?! He had to live his entire life knowing that his own mother thought he was “garbage.” How wonderful that he kind of looks like his adopted dad.
💐 Sean McDonnell & family may God bless you abundantly🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pls update when anyone learns something more about this case.
Bro let it go, just be happy you have a good family
Let it go ? Wow heartless huh
@@NarcissistabuseReal Would you rather him carry the hurt around with him for the rest of his life?
@@nuttybar9 Yes. Thats what he should do exactly. Except stop hurting. He's only Emotionally hurt by his own self causing it. "But a trauma happened to me!" Guy didn't even know it happened until he was 34 years old. Move on. and like the comment below this. Already has a family. He lived and came out good except for being a manchild crybaby now.
There are some things you can let go, but not throwing a baby in a dumpster. That's too much to shrug off.
It's sad that he found out where he came from, because it hurt him so much.😢
Precious baby
❤❤❤ FOR ALL WHO WERE THERE TO RESCUE THE BABY
Thank God for the couple who found and adopted him, they love him so much. I hope he gets the help he needs to find closure because he’s so angry and I don’t know if justice will satisfy that anger. I could understand being angry because he found out he has an older sister that the parents gave up and for him to tossed like trash. I mean there’s no excuse for it, there’s BIRTH CONTROL TO AVOID PREGNANCIES and adoption (which she did the first time around).
imagine the adopting parents having such a beautiful baby gift ftom God....
I feel the anguish. May God avenge u.
God bless your family!
Why would anyone tell him. Thats cruel
Somehow it would have eventually come out in the open anyway, best that his parents let him know the truth.
He has a right to know.
if you want to name the people and it will make you feel better then do it. but you have to count your blessings with what you have. you are not responsible for what 2 people did over 40 years ago. you did nothing wrong. be thankful of the wonderful parents that you have, like it was ment to be. a lot of children have had it way worse than you.
He needs to let it go and not run his life.
Leave it alone just accept u hav adoptive parnets who love quit opening a can of worms
Damn, they really named him John Snow
They should have never told him … I feel it ruined his life 😢
In the olden days they might could have. But even if his birth certificate didn't show he was adopted. DNA and ancestry is a big deal. He would have found out one day anyway.
@@GLEAM0721 I agree😕 I would tell him he was adopted but telling him about where he was found is a little bit extreme and if he is not strong enough mentally, can cause more harm than good. The damage is already done it’s not gonna change anything to know these horrible details. His biological parents probably had or still have mental health problems. Who knows if he inherited some of it as well. I hope he gets all the therapy he needs and learn to forgive his biological parents even if it’s not an easy thing to do. With the help of God and prayers, Jesus can heal the deepest wounds, I’m living proof of this.
Who tells a vulnerable 5 yr old u r adopted. Crucial yrs.
@TinaColby-bd7mb it's the right thing to. Being open and honest. He was adopted why wouldn't they tell him he os adopted.
@@TinaColby-bd7mb my adopted cousin came to stay with my family for the summer. At the time he didn’t know he was adopted and my dad told him. He was five years old and I can still remember his unhappy and confused face when my dad told him. My aunt/uncle was livid!
can they go to jail??
Say their names.
Acceptance and Forgiveness.
Sometimes it just takes time.
😭☹️
I think he needs to seek therapy and work on moving on, 41 years later, his mother is elderly and likely close to death. He will not get "justice" by putting a women in her 70's in jail for the short remainder of her life. Even if his biological parents had affluent jobs and were married, that doesn't necessarily mean his mother was in a good situation. Back in the early 80's, women were still very much considered property of their husbands with no say over family matters. Her husband could have been abusive and many men back then forced their wives to have endless children against their will, the fact that there was more babies born to this mother right before and after this incident kinda points to such a thing. It is heartbreaking but some desperate women did cruel things to their babies back when women's rights were slimer. It doesn't make all those countless women evil, they were also in a situation beyond their control. It's unfair to judge her situation from the perspective of nearly half a century later. This was a woman born in the 1950's, long before women could even open their own bank accounts. I am so grateful to live in a time where birth control is accessible, martial r*pe is recognized as r*pe, women have the right to divorce for any reason and women can no longer be forced to have children against their will. He needs to acknowledge that her being married and employed doesn't mean her situation wasn't nuanced. He's being very narrow-minded assuming his mother was blood-thirsty just because she wasn't a teenager at the time. He says he's not looking for vengeance, but his anger and grudge is coming off very clearly. He is suing then after all, he needs to accept that he still has a lot of harsh feelings about this and work on them introspectively. His biological parents will be deceased soon and he will have nothing to do but sit alone in his anger then.
Im sorry if this sounds cruel, but I don't feel sorry for this ungrateful man. So many children suffer in their homes because their parents are just horrible. The amount of kids around the world who don't end up with a happy ending, who actually die unloved and unwanted, and he got a loving family - but this man is out for blood? Sounds like he inherited the same heart as his mother. Ugh. Why is this your focus? Why can't you just count your blessings? Why tie up police when there is so much crime occuring today? How self centered does one need to be? Move on!
The self-centered ones were his biological parents.
That's ridiculous. He was thrown in a dumpster to die, and he has every right to seek accountability from the perpetrators.
@@amyrenee1361 you must be one of their daughters lol why protecting them?
You obviously have never experienced anything painful in your entire life. Or maybe you need to get in touch with your emotions.
Lol Chicago suburb lol isn't it an Illinois suburb lol
this might shock you, but Chicago is in Illinois.
@@TFYFWYA yes that is very shocking but you know what ain't shocking that Chicago isn't a suburb and doesn't have any suburbs so there is no point is smearing false negative narrative of that city
@@IkB-k8p they did not say that Chicago is a suburb. And yes Chicago absolutely does have suburbs, all major cities do. I think you have no idea what suburb means.
@@TFYFWYA i do know very well believe me Chicago is not part of or does not belong to or does any suburbs belong to the city of Chicago so again suburbs belong to to the state of Illinois not the city so there is no reason to mention or blame the city of chicago
Hey Sean, If you see this message, send me an email if you can. Im actually so upset on your behalf!! My blood is boiling!! I have so much too say number one, and number too I am so sorry. You threw them a life line and they destroyed you once again. They could have put some sort of a bandaid on this in any other way, but there selfishness just ripped open an old wound that deserved more healing!!! Im so sorry on behalf of your biological donors. THEY NEED to absolutely be held accountable!! Lets please make a petition!! I have hundreds and hundreds ready to sign it now!
