    Oxana’s parents didn’t forget they had a daughter, they severely neglected her. She was still living on their property with a pack of dogs when authorities removed her from their “custody”. They knew she was there the nearly 5 years she spent outside. Oxana is now 39 and lives in assisted living, according to doctors she has the mental capacity of a 6 year old and they think this is due to her lack of upbringing in her formative years. Oxana says she would like to be treated as a normal person. She said she sometimes reverts to dog like behavior when she is lonely. She is sad because she has no real family. She met her biological father as an adult and was introduced to a half sister he had. But her father was not interested in a relationship. Apparently she would like to meet her biological mother but news media that has done stories on Oxana have not been able to locate her mother. I saw in one article that she has brothers apparently but they don’t visit her.

      That part was sad but I couldn't help but laugh at the story as a whole just because of how wacky it was. She had a roofing tile in her pocket that she used as a projectile weapon to defend herself from a man who was trying to intercept her after seeing her running down a highway repeatedly hitting herself in the face with a hammer. Immediately after which she jumped off a 40-foot bridge.
      Seriously, this shit sounds more like an Eric Andre sketch than the description of an actual crime.

      You'd be surprised how hard it actually is to get someone held when they are showing signs of self harm or being a danger to themselves. Because of the bodily autonomy laws they have to be crystal clear that they mean to hurt themselves before they can hold someone of a psychiatric hold.
      Case in point, my brother. Long history of mental illness and self harm, ranging from slight cuts to literally hammering a 6 inch nail into his own knee while high on heroin. One day he decided to try and kill himself and he slit his femoral artery with a razor blade. I had heard him crying so went to check on him when i found him bleeding out, thankfully i have combat medic training so i did my thing while my mom called an ambulance and he was taken to hospital and fixed up.
      About 6 hours later to our horror we get a call from him asking to be picked up (it was mid 2020, that's why we weren't already there, we weren't allowed to be because of the pandemic), we were under the assumption because it was an attempted suicide he was going to be held for his own safety. But nope, he gave a half assed lie to the doctors and they released him.

      These two women absolutely met the legal criteria for a 72 hour psychiatric hold (in the US anyway) on the grounds of the extreme level of lethality of the method they chose to attempt suicide. Furthermore, this method blatantly puts members of the public (anyone who's driving) at risk of serious injury or death.
      As someone who has spent years working in psychiatric hospitals, I'm very familiar with the requirements and procedures for placing a 72 hour MD hold. This case absolutely met the criteria. The doctors that "treated" these women and released them with a clear bill of health, these doctors should be held liable.
      I remember one case in the past decade or so in which someone who attempted suicide was treated for a day and released, then promptly completed suicide. It became a huge legal fiasco for the practitioners and the hospital.
      There are two states in this country that, when someone successfully uses the "not guilty except for insanity" plea, they are mandated into locked inpatient psychiatric treatment centers or hospitals for the duration of the longest sentence that can be applied to the crime committed. They are rather successful programs and it's astonishing to me that most states do not have these programs; the other 48 states allows anyone using the NGI plea successfully to walk free and that is really fucked.

    Fun fact: shared madness has actually been found to happen in complete strangers who meet and both have mental health problems whether diagnosed or not. It happened to a couple of young adults who met at college and both had undiagnosed mental health problems. They went on to kill several people together and when they were separated in jail they went back to being themselves and couldn't explain why they had done it.

      But she was not missing - she lived next to house, in their sight, what's wrong? *sarcasm*
      in fact, she was very lucky to survive among dogs. I know the story when a friend with a daughter of about 4 years old came to the owner of the kennel. The women let her "walk" around the yard and sat down to dinner. After dinner, they remembered the child, began to search and found in the kennel - one of the dogs bit the girl to death. It is not known why the dog became so aggressive. But a small child only needs one serious bite to bleed to death.

    • @fenuays9662
      @fenuays9662 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      This was a child that was severely neglected by parents and likely didn't have much of a motivation to explore her surroundings. She may have been afraid of the dogs until they came and comforted her. I'm betting the child that the kennel owner let walk around the yard either did something to the dog or the dogs were being kenneled to be watched and the owner didn't know their personalities well enough to protect the child from one that may have been child aggressive. Both stories are sad. But at least for Oksana she had a chance to live and experience life. I feel so sorry for the little child that was bitten and bled to death. 😢

    When the police went to Lauren's apartment, it was actually garbage day, and the garbage truck was on her street. However, the police had parked their car so that it blocked the garbage cans, so the garbage truck passed by without picking up the garbage from the apartment. Had the police shown up just half an hour later, Lauren's body would have been gone, and Stephen may never have become a suspect.

      It's only in retrospect some see it as "creepy" he was upset, but there is no reason he could not have been upset at being reminded of her death, the same way other people cry when thinking about dead loved ones. Since he was obsessed he probably did have strong feelings for her. Wonder why he actually went on to kill her.
      It's a bit tiresome that people seem to think there is some rote way of responding to death, or that people can't have mixed emotions, be glad someone is dead on one hand, and be sorry at thr same time.

There are also variations of this mental disorder that occur in groups of three or more people (folie a trois, folie a famille, etc.). It’s simply a shared delusional disorder.

In those days our city was innocent of any such thing as strangers who might wish a child harm. It was not unusual to have the eldest child to take the others to the seaside to enjoy icecream etc. The first or one of the first cases of child abduction in Australia, that i am aware of.

    "No."
    "I dunno."
    "Yes."
    "I dunno."
    YES, YOU DO STEPHEN! YOU KNOW!

    This is seriously late to add but there's more to that stalker story. I've researched this one a few months ago and it has stayed with me because Lauren was basically described as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Her neighbor had keys because he was part of the building maintenance crew. That look of shock on his face while he was being interviewed about a body being found is real. The reason for that was because when the police were doing their investigations earlier, the garbage truck that Steven knew would be coming on a certain day, was blocked from picking up the garbage that week because of all the traffic that was blocking the dumpster. He had assumed that the torso would have been taken away with the normal garbage and had no idea that the truck hadn't been able to do it's weekly pick-up. The police officer that discovered the torso actually found it because the smell of the decay was permeating out of the dumpster by that point. Her stalker assumed that evidence would be gone. Using some of the other keys that he had on his maintenance key chain, they were able to find the saw that he used to dismember her body (and if I remember correctly, they had video of him purchasing this saw which is why it was such a key to proving that he had in fact made plans to kill her). It was in a maintenance room that only two people had keys to. That look is 1000% actual shock, realizing that things had not gone to plan. Had the dumpster not been blocked, the evidence might have been taken away the day before. He was counting on that. He was smart enough to get into law school. But not smart enough to fool forensic science and police investigators. It was very tragic. It's still very tragic. He came so close to getting rid of her body. It just didn't go as planned.

      The movie “Bug”, directed by William Friedkin in 2006, starring Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon, is an example of this condition.

    The story about the Ukrainian girl becoming a dog and then as she got older she remembered that she was human and is now taking care of animals herself. I think that despite those early years she always had a deep connection to animals.

      @@IsraelCountryCube this is a video of Oxana when she is 13 and she was literally acting like a dog. And your reaction is "hmm, 13 year old girl acting like a dog. That makes a good wife!" 😆 🤣 😂 are you related to the guy in the last video by chance? 😆
      Edit: you too Dave. I am effing concerned about both of you. I am really good at helping people find free therapy if you "feel" you need it.

      I agree, his voice is very clear as well. No need to even look at the video to understand what he’s saying!
