    hearing that robert is still in that glass cage to this day actually made me cry. he did everything he could do to get help and warned everyone what he would do if he wasn’t helped and no one listened. he does not deserve such cruel treatment. and the prison and justice system giving him the worst punishment i’ve ever heard of for killing pedophiles while pedos are let off the hook with only a slap on the wrist regularly makes me sick to my stomach

      Look up the Alaskan Avenger. They gave him 20something yrs for beating pedos. I think the last 1 died. He luckily just got 10yrs off his sentence due to public outrage. Meaning, w/ enough pressure this man's conditions may be improved. That pressure got him in that box. It can get him out of it. Politicians don't like looking like monsters.

  • @pretty_odd

    Robert probably saved more lives than he took, this poor man who went through so much was only in his way, trying to protect others from what was done to him. His mental state was so fragile and for him to face this type of punishment is so inhumane. So revolting that actual pedos/child killers still get less punishment than he has and usually aren’t even caught.

    • @Karina-kv9ep
      @Karina-kv9ep ปีที่แล้ว +48

Meanwhile child molesters and other sex offenders continue to get slaps on the wrist and are released back into society to hurt more people.

A couple of older officers sat and prayed with him and thanked him for what he did saying that he saved so many children and then told him if they could get away with letting him go they would. They cried with him and consoled him and spoke to him with so much respect. It was wild to watch them ❤❤❤❤ think about it often…

      It is a very difficult situation. I think if I were a guard, and the inmates were taking good care of a pedo, I would look the other way. It is slippery moral ground, but….the flip side is that if they are released, they start killing the kids to keep (in their minds) from ever going back. The only solution is automatic life/no parole for child sex offenders. There are folks arrested for dealing pot that served longer sentences than some of this garbage.

      I can tell you in my state it's not. I was abused by 2 different men.
      And attempted abused by a 3rd.
      First 2? No punishment or charges.EVER.
      3rd guy? He was a janitor at an elementary school. He had been assaulting a friend of mine for years.
      A fact I didn't know until he decided to shove his hand down my shirt at her place, I was 10/11 at the time. I took a brush to his hand and he removed it. She told me he had been molesting her for years at that point.
      We went to my house and told my mom. She was terrified of telling her parents thinking she would be in trouble.
      Nope her parents were livid! So much so the 5 of us went to the cops.
      Charges were pressed and trial was set.
      But the case was dropped.
      Why? Because they moved to Georgia. Without her testimony, case was over.
      That was in the early 1980s. He got his job back. I wonder, even after 40+ yrs how many victims does he have. Before and after me and friend.
      And in case anyone thinks I don't know my first time being abused I was 5! He was 12. It was 1 time with him.
      2nd abuser? Started when I was 8! Went on for over 3 years! His reasoning?
      " No girls in my school look like you!". That's a direct quote.
      What has it cost me? My relationship with my dad for 20 yrs. He disowned me.
      Mom not looking at me as her daughter. Until she asked directly and he couldn't hid it.
      Self esteem.
      Fear of men. Or using my body to get them.
      Just breaking the cycle 8 yrs ago.
      Not giving my dad what he wanted before he died in 2017.
      Telling a family member that if there is a family reunion, I will not be there if they are. And meant it.
      And it was my 2.brothers.
      1st one was my step brother.
      2nd was my bio brother.
      He just laughed at me when I brought it up to him a couple months ago.

Make that make sense. We also know that sexual predators only get caught for their crimes about half of the time. So, even a "first offense" is almost never their actual first offense.

    See this is EXACTLY why sex crimes need to be taken more seriously! Yes there's a chance he would've still had mental health issues but damn. What he endured by the hands of his father growing up definitely paved the way for these crimes. It was his motivation to do what he did. This is honestly such a sad story. Thank you Danielle for covering this in such a respectful way.

    It's almost like his father's locking him for six months inside a room was preparing him for decades of solitary confinement, like an omen.
    His father was the one who deserved the treatment that Robert got.
    Prisoners are also humans, they should also have rights. I can't believe that the UK, a supposedly delevoped country, treats a human being like this. The UK system is worse than his father.

Sure, it was different time, but for fricks sake, if anyone is telling me repeatedly that is hearing voices to kill someone (in this case parents and child sex offenders), and basically WARNING me about what can potentially happen, where is the logic in ignoring it, not taking such things seriously and be like "yeah , whatever. We'll be fine, sure, sure, have a nice day".

      I have to agree. Society failed to protect a child (and his siblings) from terrible abuse that is bound to have impacted his psyche. The beating across his head carried out by his father with the air rifle could have caused brain damage effecting his future behaviour. We, quite rightly, have sympathy for victims of child abuse when they are children but condemn them for violence carried out by them later on. Society can contribute towards to the creation of 'monsters'.

He had a genuine purpose and I aint even mad at it. He even tried to get help which really surprised me. Thats more than you can say for most serial killers. He tried to get help, got let down, and at least he chose guilty victims.

      And the prison system is doing more to protect sex offenders than it is doing to protect their victims out in the public. Sex offenders and violent murderers get released due to ‘overcrowding’ but this guy gets a special level of punishment. The amount of resources spent on this exercise alone would have been astronomical. And I really struggle to imagine public outrage at this guy for being kept only in standard solitary confinement and wanted him to be specially punished. Who were these people protesting? Prince Andrew!?

The fact that those pedophiles are dead has saved untold numbers of children from possible harm inflicted by them. I do not believe that it justifies anyone murdering them. What if you or I killed them? Would we not deserve punishment for our crimes, just because we have been victims? These murders were so violent. Who is to say that in his mind, the next people to die wouldn't be other prisoners? He obviously has no control over his impulses. It doesn't even matter what CAUSED his lack of control. He is obviously a very dangerous person and the authorities don't want a repeat of a gruesome murder scene. Make no mistake, it was murder. I cannot feel sorry for him after hearing what he did to other human beings, no matter how vile those people were.

    I totally agree with you on this. Yes, he brutally killed. However, he wasn't lurking in the dark waiting for a random victim. It's clear that everything he did stemmed from his own abusive experiences. The fact that he was self aware and seeking help makes this even more tragic. I can't understand why he has been denied so much for so long. He's had far long enough time "in his own head" to truly be rehabilitated enough to at least get more time outside of that living grave. He can still be supervised, but why can't he even have a pet bird? You would think allowing that would demonstrate what his current mental state is. Also, I feel very certain that he would not still be the MOST dangerous anymore.

    I feel that Robert is a broken human being. It’s so sad that everyone has let this man down his entire life. The prison system obviously is punishing him because he made them look like bumbling fools. As much as my heart aches for the little boy who was so abused he still should be in prison for the crimes he committed, he needs mental help and not a glass box.

    Edit: After finishing the video I don’t understand how the public can be so mad at him for killing Child molesters/sex offenders. I don’t think those individuals deserve to suffer. Yeah he needs to be punished but not to the extent that he has been. He’s no danger to anyone except those absolutely disgusting people. I feel for him so much. I hope that his conditions improve over time or they allow him to die. The fact that he tried to get help for so long kind of makes me think like what did you expect?

    This is one of the saddest cases I've ever heard about. My heart breaks for him. You can clearly see the pain in his eyes, and just knowing that he has gone as far as to ask permission to die... it's almost just too much. He didn't deserve this life. The man literally reached out for help and got none. Clearly, if ever there was a time that the system totally failed a person, this is it. I'm glad that he has reconnected with his family. That has to be something, but honestly maybe it's time he be released, or at least taken to a mental health facility, where he can resume his treatment. I pray that somehow, some way Robert can find peace in this life. I pray for all in similar situations.

    There are many things that have hit home with me. As a survivor of molestation...your dignity, self esteem, confidence, compassion, and any other emotions have been literally ripped away from you and being alone is the worst feeling. I think Robert had vented up so many different emotions and not getting the help he quite desperately needed, was fulfilled with every victim. Turning himself in meant that he did feel remorse in a way that he received a little bit of dignity back along with confidence that was so cruelly taken. But his terrible conditions he's living in now is overboard and being in regular solitary confinement would be enough. The man does deserves life in prison, but he feels already dead inside because, he was never mentally able to get the help that was needed. Yes, his physical scars will heal, but mental anguish can't heal and that there is punishment forever.
