❓️❓️Why didn't the teachers or counselor or grandma do anything when the signs are there? Are they helpless as well??❓️❓️

@@lizkrafft4343 GOOD but considering the laws there it's a pendulum
Was Madeline's death recorded on ss phone ? Jen likes $$$$$$ way more then her poor daughter
What kind of mother lets her boyfriend sleep in the same bed alone with her 13 year old daughter. I just can’t wrap my head around that!!!
It’s completely disgusting
A TWIN BED!!!
The same kind of mother who only cares about getting a good night sleep for herself when she has the next day off, even though those medications that she is so attached to sedate her so heavily
One who is willfully negligent and doesn't give AF, one who will do anything to keep a loser man 😢
@IttyBritt0829 no job, no car, no place of his own, almost 40, parents support him... gosh he sounds like a quality guy, high class all the way
I'm a Grandmother of 5. If any one of them had cried and said "I don't want to go home", you can bet your last dollar, they would not have went home. No Way. I would have went on an investigative trip to find out WHY they didn't want to go home, IF I HAD TO MOVE Grandbaby into my house, UNTIL EVERYONE KNEW, GRANDMA WILL FIND OUT.
I will not play. I refuse to willingly ignore my Grandparents responsibility.
And that is PROTECTING MY GRANDBABIES.
And I don't care who likes it or not.
Wish had fam like you 💙
God bless,very need more like you.
We have 8 grandchildren and I would be exactly the same as you 👏👏😘
@@jessiefrye3045 I've got 13 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and I'd be exactly the same as you. That grandbaby would be with me full stop. My heart breaks for poor Madeline 💔
Thats a good grandma! Gotta love grandparent they are Angels on earth. I miss mine everyday she used to protect me even from things I never told her. Bless you
There is so much to learn from this case. For mothers who move men into their home. For extended family members, the signs were all there. For teachers and counselors, the signs were all there as well. She slept in class and always asked to go speak to the counselor. She begged her Grandma not to go home. She took showers for over an hour and always wanted to sleep with her mom. However, on that note, I think Madeline had given up on her mother. No help was coming from her.
A retired Judge I know told me that mothers bringing men into the home is the greatest cause of abuse to their children.
👍👍👍@@TalLeGal
This beautiful girl was betrayed by those who are supposed to protect her. There's a place in Hades for mothers like JS.
How sad is that
The adults in Maddie's life did not protect her,there were Red Flags every where her telling the teacher he was weird,her being sleepy ,her crying,and that she told a friend she wanted to live in the woods.I do not see why Jenns Grandma or Aunt did not suspect something and help her R.I.P. Maddy you are at Peace and no one can ever hurt you again.
This evil woman needs to be locked up for contributing to poor Madeleine's death.
@@nicolepalachicky8033 it's still free?
I agree 100% she should be charged also
And years of torture 😮
@@nicolepalachicky8033 she won't be charged with the immunity she has been given
@@nicolepalachicky8033 💯 agreed oh my gosh
I simply CANNOT understand why Jennifer has not been arrested & charged - at the very LEAST ,,- for child endanerment & neglect! Not a single tear has she shed by her throughout this dreadful case. No love for her child.
Maybe cops are gathering a solid trail of evidence I pray they do arrest.
@@GemAnointedI really hope so, waiting for that day.
Plus she lied about everything
The only possibilities I can think of is that perhaps she has lawyered up and her mental health issues are an obstacle of some sort, the police are still building a case and or she’s cut a deal in order to get her on the stand and testify against Stephan. Whatever the reason I do truly hope she’s held accountable for her actions. No matter the state of her mental health she is at the very least guilty of gross neglect and failure to protect her child and put her own selfish needs before that of her daughter
100% agreed!!!
Second post. Jennifer Soto should NEVER be around children again.
It’s disturbing to hear both Jenn and SS blame their lousy memories/responses on medication and talk so much about their own special needs. What a horrible lack of boundaries & accountability. I wish Madeline had a attentive, accessible & caring parent.
She should never be walking around free either.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jennifer is also a victim of abuse, and was "check out". Not that this is an excuse, but it can shine a light on why this mindbogglingly irresponsible beahvior happened.
EVER. Amen.
@@emilyflotilla931 I Agree 💯 , and I also believe she should be locked 🔐 up also
I think both of these adults are guilty .. you dont send a man to sleep with your child . No decent man would even go there.
My sisters ex did when he was babysitting my aunt/adoptive "mum's" 11 year old last year when he was babysitting her cause she was out of town and nothing bad happened sometimes it's necessary to share a bed with a scared child you abd the other commenters when you say stuff like this are saying my best friend is a bad guy and that's wrong
@@ITZCHELSEA2244ohhh...so *that's* why you've been so hostile in the comment section and basically defending Stepfan Stearns: You have a male bestie who slept in the same bed with an 11 year old girl, so you're taking all of this personally. You say that nothing bad happened. Well that's good. So relax, this isn't about your friend or you.
@@ITZCHELSEA2244that’s freaky😳👀💀
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 you’ll understand how the mom was evil and wrong for letting Stephan sleep with Madeline when you’re older.
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 gurl stick with this case
Shame on society for accepting Jen’s way of normalcy! Jenn SHOULD BE LOCKED UP! Shame on her calling herself a mother.
Society? Who is excepting that? What society are you in NOT ONE person I have come across is OK with this
Society is NOT accepting Jen’s way of “normalcy”. Most of us want her to be charged.
@@GemAnointedI believe she meant those who govern society because JS has yet to be locked up. We need to start sending letters to the government officials. I’m going to make a post suggesting we all start making moves. In time, we will see if our society does nothing.
Nobody, including the Justice system, accept this as normal. Jen is not being charged because there is not proof (yet) that Jen committed either the murder or engaged in the molestation. There needs to be valid evidence that can be admitted in court. They don’t have that for Jen yet. I hope they do! I hope they leverage Stephen’s death sentence to get him to testify against her. She needs to be in prison too! In my opinion she knew what Stephen was doing to Maddie.
Don't say society is accepting of this. Nobody is OK with this and I don't think anyone knows someone who allows their teen child to sleep alone with the boyfriend
It made me sick to see Jen comforting the man that sexually abused and allegedly murdering her daughter
Infuriating!
@@bonnieschoenemandilley3416
Infuriating & Sickening 🤬🤢
😢 sick sick sick. I have taught children in a Psychiatric Hospital setting that were SA'd. These children were traumatized in every way. We must ALWAYS PROTECT THE CHILDREN...ALWAYS 😢
@@donnalindsey6418 always!!! 😫
That's all-ways
I also feel he was jealous Madeline had a crush on a boy. I’m so sick of young lives being taken away. It’s beyond heartbreaking.
Or she was threatening to tell
@@Bubblegum12345 for sure. The mother surely had to have known what was going on. I can’t imagine what dear little Madeline had gone through. No one especially her mother protecting her. Instead allowing him to sleep with her. Its sickening. Who does that? Why? I’ll never understand. Another young life gone for nothing. It’s really getting to me this one. I’ve a young daughter myself.
Same. Like he killed her out of jealous rage.
@@JadeTopaz-g8jgo focus on your daughter don't coddle her too much or she will go to guys like Stephan Sterns to get away from you
@@dontdominatemewe don't even know if it was him that did it for all we know Jenn could have done it and made him get rid of her
The "mother" needs to be charged immediately. This is disgusting.
This case is so disturbing. The Mother sent her daughter to sleep with her boyfriend? Very sick! He had so many photos! What he did to her! We all need to speak up for Madeline!
And the mother was asked for a photo of Madeline in HER phone and she had a hard time finding one!
😲
Was he selling pictures
@@patriciagazey4693 That is one of the many questions sadly.....
@@patriciagazey4693 well he had some savings which surprised his own dad bc he doesn’t work! He couldn’t get up to work with his dad🤔😳
PLEASE continue with Maddie’s case.
It’s important for Maddie and to protect other children. It’s important to survivors as well.
I know how very difficult it is to allow ourselves to go down this suffocating rabbit hole. But Madeline Soto, who's no longer here, needs our voices to speak for her. Those who were supposed to protect her did not; they failed her at every turn. Thank you, dear Lauren, for having the courage to bring this terribly sad and shocking case to the forefront.
💯
Hey Mel, I agree 100%
Her daughter slept in the middle! This keeps getting grosser
Zero chance this mom didn't know what was going on and even a slimmer chance that she wasn't involved at some level.
Rest easy Maddie ❤ You deserved safety and love and I'm so sorry you got neither during your short stay on this Earth
One of the biggest red flags for me re Jenn Soto is the one white Croc (and also Maddie’s notebook with explicit drawings). One white Croc was found in the dumpster, one was in Jenn’s own bedroom.
Tell me what mother wouldn’t rip apart her daughter’s bedroom and the whole house to find any clue as to where their missing daughter may have gone. A diary, a runaway note, a notebook?
When Jenn and SS got back to the condo after they left the grandmother’s business office, they not only didn’t leave to search for Madeline, they didn’t even search in the home for clues.
A normal parent would have found the ONE shoe (that they both told police she’d been wearing), plus the disturbing notebook and called the police immediately.
My gut tells me that they both went home that night and got “zonked out” on pills and just went to bed. People don’t search for something when they know it isn’t missing.
IMO there is absolutely nothing “normal” about Jen Soto!
The mother disgust me she's literally is just trying to justify what happened about the fact of them sleeping together it is disgusting of Jennifer she should go to jail.
Law doesn't care for your feelings shes not going to jail ger over it
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 weird response
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 she might. They aren’t arresting her at this time. Doesn’t mean she’s not done anything illegal.
@ITZCHELSEA2244 HOW would you know?
I’m so sick of people using mental health as an excuse for being negligent parents.
A majority of the population has anxiety, depression & attention deficits.
How was Jennifer paying for this condo, her vehicle, food and to live?
If there’s a guest bedroom upstairs, why did Maddie have to have a makeshift bedroom in the living room?
She rented out 2-3 bedrooms for $600/month (at least Room #4 where SS slept).
Amen. As someone who has been suffering from depression and anxiety for years now, my kids, their safety and well-being comes first.
@@cookie_dough_hangover If anything, anxiety would make one even more vigilant.
When my kids started school i would have nightmares about stem, getting lost or kidnapped.
I mean obviously negligent parents have mental health issues. Not all mental health issues are created equal. Not all childhood trauma is created equal. Some is more likely to create abusers, some abusees. We repeat the patterns we absorb as children (whether as victim or perp) unless we are given an opportunity to learn something different and correct them.
@@SkipperXoOo i know right? My husband says I am too vigilant, but how can a mother not be? It's beyond me.
Thank you for covering this case, it’s important that she is remembered. You both treat each victim with respect.
I agree with everything you said. I don't watch this case anywhere else because I feel only Lauren and Dr. John will give it the respect needed, when talking about such things that are triggering for many of us.
Whats crazy is. Maddy probably didnt want to sleep alone BECAUSE of the trauma from the abuse. And her mother sends her to bed with the monster that caused it.
Good point. It's absolutely sickening. No wonder this precious child had dark under her eyes, no wonder she couldn't sleep alone and had anxiety, no wonder she was always in sick bay at school and was falling asleep, had memory problems. How many red flags did her caregivers and professionals in her life need to ask questions, seek answers and protect this child?! Unbelievable negligence on so many levels.
Mom knew all along !!
I suspect that other men also abused her. The mother seems a little light in the head. She probably had other men who were roommates, unckes, just like family...etc.
I can’t stand to look at Jenn Soto.
Me neither
@@anngoodner5766 🙋♀️Same!
Yep same here.
Same here
Mrs. Potato Head 🥔🥔🥔
This woman is as guilty as it comes …should be arrested yesterday…….
Arrest Jenn Soto!!!!
LIKE YESTERDAY!
Yes, she should have been arrested immediately.
Not sure what they’re waiting on
Id get banned if I said what I wanted to happen to her.She knew and allowed it to keep him in her life,she even demanded AFTER her daughter was dead for his father to get Stephan a Lawyer.The law knows she knew so why haven't they arrested her?!
@@Cincy_KidThey said a few days ago she'd face no charges.
Although this is such a difficult story, thank you for covering it. As a parent, listening to this is so tough and it makes me respect you and Dr. John all the more.
I will never understand how that woman is still free. Any crime against children is evil but to allow and put your own child in the arms of evil is on another level. I can’t imagine how much suffering Madeline experienced all those years and knowing the one person who should have kept her safe did the opposite. It’s enraging and heartbreaking 😢
There were so many other options for those sleeping arrangements than allowing……even encouraging your teenage daughter and a full grown man to share a bed to sleep.
A spare mattress/ fold out bed next to where you yourself sleeps . How much noise & distraction can a 13 year old girl make if she was next to you ? I understand anxiety but knowing my daughter was in a bed with a grown man would escalate that anxiety beyond belief.
There’s no rational explanation for this! None at all.
It’s a no brainer & something that should NEVER be an option.
So many lies and contradictions. Jennifer Sotto literally said that she sleeps so deeply because of the medications she takes that even her roommate sometimes can't wake her up while at the same time she sent her 13 year old daughter to sleep with her ex boyfriend because she needs to rest and Maddie needs help getting ready for school! That is absolutely ridiculous. If the meds put her out so much how would sleeping with Maddie interrupt her sleep? Maddie was not a baby.
Protecting and providing a supportive environment should be the priority of any parent- especially the parent of a child with disabilities. Jenn failed failed failed.
She should not have ANY men sleep over much less sleep with your child.
Jenn failed failed failed.
Rest in peace Madeline.
She had her own room and bed..didn't sleep in it..
@@cookie_dough_hangover..when I was 13 I knew how to get ready for school..this is ridiculous
@@shivaniayers7086 She didn't have her own room.
I don’t understand how the mother cannot be held accountable. I just don’t think you give a 13 year-old permission to sleep in the same bed as a man.
JENN, please explain how S stuff isn't evil to a barely 13 Yr old. Please, enlighten us.... if you're competent enough to have full custody of your child, I don't give a crap what you say your mental issues are. You either have the mental faculties to raise a child or you don't. If she was so mentally disabled as she claims to be, then she had no right raising a child. Clearly!
SS started when Maddie was 8 years old 😳😭🤬
I know these sickos are cunning and manipulative but I cannot believe the JS knew nothing about his sick intentions.
Let's be a little fair, ppl are focusing on that and yt creators are capitalizing on it, but that phrase came from an interrogators notes. There were no quotations. Interrogators often twist words to get warrants and or leverage for later purposes. There's plenty of other stuff to vilify her on. But all the Jen pitchforks are going to do nothing but help Stephan Sterns avoid the death penalty..., LE knows this. One of the many reasons they're not prosecuting her. She's a monster and deserves jail. There's also thousands of other monster moms just like her out there who never have to look at the world behind bars.
Not to mention he was abusing her since age 8
I'm fairly new to reading about this case. How do we know she was 8? That age hits me hard. I was 8 when my sisters husband was molesting me.
I am going to follow this case to the end. Justice for Maddie.
God's angels will make justice for this angel that was taken so soon, Psalm 91, The so-called disturbed mother has been lying from day one..... Do not make this a go around circus.... Make it quick, her life was taken so soon. Give her the justice she deserves.....🙏😇🙏😇🙏😇🙏
Lauren, you’re handing this horrific story with so much care and compassion. Thank you. Madeleine’s story needs to be told and understood-“stranger danger” is understandably scary, but the vast majority of crimes like this one are committed by people known and trusted by the child and their family. A trusted person in this child’s life betrayed and killed her, and the adult who was supposed to protect her dropped the ball in the worst way imaginable. 💔
Impatiently waiting for Jennifers arrest.
Her mother never called the police, it was Maddie’s grandmother and aunt who called the authorities.
I have noticed there is def a pattern of guilty people getting other people/family members to make those types of calls for them or go into a crime scene to find the deceased before they do.
I hope the way I wrote that makes sense.
Really, I didn't know that , wich shows that lady she was never a good mom to Madeline 😢😢
yes, we need to put pressure on the police to charge Jen.
they know what they are doing - we don’t know all the facts and how the law works
Question: Jennifer constantly states she has anxiety/bipolar that’s debilitating to the point where she works irregularly or not at all, but when her child goes missing, she seems quite composed and her thoughts are organized, I know it’s hard to judge how people react in these situations, but it certainly seems odd that she doesn’t even come across frantic. What does John think of her demeanor?
Absolutely heartbreaking poor Maddie😢I hope he gets the DP🙏
Please be a voice for Maddie! As tragic and sad that it is, I believe Jenn Soto is involved.
It is important that you and Dr. John cover this case. Many other channels are covering- but they don't bring what you two do. Mainly, the psychology behind the crime. Lives can be saved if the warning signs are apparent.
There is to much awareness! That mother fed her child to her boyfriend
Yes she did !! The mother is also guilty
I wonder if Jenn was raised in the same way.@@Blahblahblah-b2d
Her mother knew exactly what was happening. She’s clearly mental. She needs to be held accountable.
Please continue on this journey. I believe there are so many Maddie's out here and Jennifer's too.. something has to change... Maddie's Law would be a good start.. Mom's should be held accountable..i say this because Im a survivor since the 70's and my resentment towards my mother has never left..its a sad life to live..prayers to all and R.I.P baby girl❤🙏
May God bless you and keep you. ❤
It is so fucked that she is not being held accountable for this tragedy.
I still don’t understand why Jennifer isn’t being charged 🤯😢
thank you, Lauren. That mother should be in jail!
Something is wrong in this case. Why does her mother seem so detached from Madeline? And she doesn’t seem to be grieving at all.
@@bornfree0507, heavy medication?
Stupidity?
It's hard to accept but not all parents love their kids. Some can actually hate them.
I understand that it's difficult to accept but some mother's don't all love their children.
Mine didn't.
Because she KNEW!!!! She prob hated and took it out on Maddie.
Jennifer needs to face charges, knowing her daughter was sleeping in the same bed as her boyfriend. I do wonder, if MA had raised concerns with the authorities about the conversations she had with Sterns, if maybe Madeline may still be alive.
At least child neglect? I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
I agree, she should have reported that immediately. It hurts knowing that there were people who could have intervened. I hope people speak up and stand up when they know things aren’t right. Instead of watching and not saying anything. You will face backlash but that comes with doing the right thing.
This subject is JUST BRUTAL!!!!
This is my question for Dr. John… How can we make it so that children who do tell are believed and protected? I feel that so many people don’t tell because they feel that they can’t because it will make the situation worse before it will make it better. Sadly, many times “telling” is just the beginning and it does not in any way guarantee that the child will be helped. Even calling child services in your state doesn’t mean what most people think it would mean and I feel that the public is completely unaware of how the system actually works and what actually happens when someone reports it. They don’t just run in and take the child out of the situation… instead the adults are made aware of home visits and interviews that can just further help the perp hide or explain away the abuse. How can we teach our kids to tell? Everyone loves to think that their child would ALWAYS speak up… but victims don’t just tell!
Well after Michael Jackson got away with all he did to those poor kids I can understand why a lot of victims don't want to tell.
I wish she would have told her Grandma
I strongly agree. Every time I see a new crime story, I think there should always be a “lessons learned” session where we as a people sit back and take a moment to think how we can do better as a society. For example, we now have Amber Alerts for missing children as a result of a missing child. But more frequently, we see the same problems over and over.
They are told not to tell. Perpetrators scare them into not telling.
every adult in her life failed her.
Whoa, that was rough to hear. That poor child.
I am finding it really hard to understand why she has not been arrested and charged.
This case seems so sordid. It will be interesting to hear what Dr. John has to say about it.
Thank you for covering this Lauren.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about Maddie 's case. Justice ⚖️💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚
Her crocs were white 🤍 Judy 😉
LOCK HER UP ALREADY.....WTH. I refuse to say her mother because she was not a mother......

The mother is as much to blame if not more for encouraging and allowing a dirty sex offender to sleep with her daughter since she was 8years old and many new about it or even thought something was happening but did nothing
@@robellins3906 not “more” to blame - never remove the main blame from the actual rapist and murderer
@@Vibez-o5k I think she's equally to blame because she had a responsibility to protect her daughter.
Thank you, Lauren, for covering this heartbreaking case. Even though I have a very hard time even imagining what that poor child went through. 😢💔
At first, I was conflicted as to whether I wanted to follow dear Madeline's case. But, I seem to be like a moth drawn to the flame, and I continue to watch videos on this sad story. I look forward to hearing what Hidden True Crime has to say about this most difficult case.
Same here, im taking these videos in small chucks. This is disgusting.
Same and I diffently have my opinion about this case poor madline surrounded by evil
Same but I started having nightmares and have slowed down…
I took a break from this case. I have been following it on another channel. I literally had nightmares about it. As a mom, as a human being my heart aches for Maddie..😢
@@therozrodriguez77me, too! 😭💔
Mother has mental problems! It's not normal for a 12 or 13 year old girl to sleep in the middle with mom and her shack up boyfriend???? Sleeping with them period is disturbing?? Allowing your daughter to sleep with him alone is insanity!!!! Arrest that unfit mother!!
Thank you for doing this Lauren and Dr John.
So many adults failed Maddie. It is so sad and infuriating.
I feel for the teachers etc as unfortunately for them they had only known her a relatively short time and due to her diagnoses and previous reports from teachers, her behaviour was no different to her "normal".
Everyone missed the red flags because Jenn was insistent Maddie was behaving normally and that she was seeing a therapist.
Jenn herself was technically a mandated reporter as she had been a substitute teacher at that very same school previously.
At no time did mom seem to care. At all. If any of my five children went missing (they have!) I would be FLIPPING TF OUT (& DID)! When my now 26 yr old was 11 & didn't get off the bus one afternoon i had an absolute meltdown & IMMEDIATELY was calling the school, the bus company, the poice! Then when my now 18 yr old was 10, he didn't show up after school one day & again, i immediately contacted police, called the school, had cops at my house in under 10 mins! 😭💔
Numb from all the depression and anxiety medication.. you are numb from feelings that's what sucks about those medications they dont actually help you long term it's a temporary thing

One good thing about this case-it made me realize that I needed to say something about something I saw regarding my grand daughter and a male family member. My son was grateful and proper measures have been taken. This thing I saw was rather insignificant in and of itself, but then I caught rumor of something else, and my hackles were raised. If that wasn’t enough, my son saw something in the meantime that made him question, but as I said before, these things weren’t really anything; it was more the totality of them all together. Thankfully he saw the need to take actions of protection. When something bad happens, it is common for people to say or think, “there were no signs, no warnings! This person didn’t seem like a person who would_______!” I think that’s silly. I think signs are there, but we chose to ignore them. Jenn saw all kinds of signs, but she ignored them. Her own “mental health” and drug use was more important to her. She should not have had custody of Madeline. She was unfit. Too bad grandma didn’t push for custody. I know we all grow up with different value systems, but what kind of “mother” thinks that her boyfriend should be sleeping with her daughter? The neglect is astounding. The prosecutor may be biding his or her time, but Jenn deserves prison time for endangering the welfare of her child.
Thank you for reading all of the reports. So sad.
Nobody stood up not even those Roommates who had things to say about Maddie Sleeping in that Monster bed. I would have called Cps.
The whole thing is disgusting.
I agree, nobody protected Maddie. I would have called the cops before I called CPS. CPS doesn’t protect children.
Right! The roommates, the bio father, his wife, her 😮 maternal grandmother didn't think it was a red flags that there were all these non-related adults moving in and out of the house. I don't care if Santa Claus and 1 of the elves want to rent a room. No and hell no. dont any of these adults have common sense? Brick shy of a load, everyone of them.
well think about it if they had called cps on jen they would be kicked out and not be roommates anymore and the roommates had children of their own as well who would be homeless had that happened..

They do not need her testimony in the trial against Stephan, this isn't a case where you have to choose the lesser of 2 evils and spare one, because they have an absolute slam dunk case against him. Her behavior IS criminal. Her neglect and lack in vigilance, directly led to the endangerment and loss of Maddie's life. She pretty much served her teenage daughter to this predator on a silver platter, and I'm not even convinced she didn't know. She continued to defend and protect him even as her daughter was missing, and eventually found murdered, and it had become clear he was the perp. She's just as deviant and culpable in my opinion. And so again, I ask the state of FL, WHERE ARE THE CHARGES AGAINST JENN SOTO?????
Madeline's mom needs 2 b arrested. She doesn't seem to care or be mad at Stephen to me!
They aren't charging her
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 doesn’t mean anything. She’s not being arrested, doesn’t mean she’s not still under investigation.
Thank you for covering this case. Lauren, you look great today!
A mother not present for her daughter’s birthday party. Jennifer stated that she last saw Madeleine in the am around 8am before she went to school. If Madeleine was already in Stephans car via video at 0730 deceased. Jennifer is not telling the truth.
Was Jennifer’s work hours ever verified.
What I find odd is, she claims she had a new job, and needed a good night sleep, yet, she didn’t go to work, when she woke up, went to the doctor, and came home, at 11 am and hung out with Stephem and stayed home until she went to school to pick up Madeline. So why the need for a good sleep on her own? She had from 11am through 14:00 to rest?
Right?
She also said she had SS come so she could could spend time with Maddie instead of her staying at her grandma's but she didn't even spend a half hour with her before she sent her to sleep with SS. She is a pathological liar.
She offered up her baby daughter to this man. There’s no way she didn’t know.
Thank you for continuing to be a voice for this sweet girl.
You need a license to drive a car. In some States you need a license for a dog. But any POS can have a child.
This mother had zero interest in raising and loving her own daughter. 😢
Please be a voice for Maddie! ♥️🙏🏼
She knew what was going on. I cant believe nothing happened to her.
No one turns down McDonald’s breakfast- especially a 13 year old girl.
His lies are so unbelievable.
His dad even said he doesn’t know when stephan is lying or telling the truth.
Thank you, Lauren for your support of this poor child. I appreciate your exposing the entire interview. It would be nice for this police department to give either one of you an interview to answer to all of us why Jenn Soto is not behind bars for child abuse. There is more than I have heard before that clearly proves she knew of the CA and was an active member in this CA. No justice, no peace. Any chance of having a lawyer answer to the law and why Jenn Soto has not been arrested and prosecuted for her role in this crime.
Lauren and Dr. John your bravery in covering such tragic cases is deeply important. The sensitivity and intelligence is appreciated. Thank you for your championing the voiceless 🙏
👊🏻 Well said
@@m.lefaye, not just covering but diving deep! These are not minds you want to be in, but it’s important to do so.
Please DO NOT let the personal “difficulty” of covering this case prevent you from pushing forward. Madeleine is just one of tens or hundreds of thousands of girls being subjected to this horror EVERY YEAR in our nation.
I honestly can't believe parents like Jennifer exist! Jennifer said Maddie had a "make-shift" bedroom in the home plus they had a "guest bedroom." So, why in the world was the 2 of them sleeping in a bed together even an option?
What I want to know is, when is Jen going to be arrested? She let her daughter sleep with a grown man, if a 19 year sleeps with a 13 year old they go to jail, so why is she not in jail allowing it?
The amount of " sleep " these people claim to get. Ffs
Ikr.. with work I get 6 hours maybe 7 a night
losers taking sleeping pills and weed pills and loading their child up on pharmaceuticals because she’s so traumatized and anxious she can’t sleep or focus in school. the “mom” deserves life in prison.
His mother and father were his enablers and so was Madeleines mother.
Beautiful little Madeline ❤ RIP no more ugly mistreatment
Jen should have never had custody of Maddie
"Sex stuff, not evil" Wonder what that means...
It means her mother is a monster . Even prisoners in prison, want to get their hands on child molesters because they feel that what they do is so evil and wrong to prey upon children, but Maddie’s mother doesn’t think that Stephan taking away her innocence and essentially sexually assaulting her is isn’t evil?
That statement in and of itself is shocking . Ti think that someone would actually feel OK to say that out loud it just tells you how desensitized Jennifer Soto is to the suffering of her daughter. She could care less horrible, horrible woman . The district attorneys office in Kissimmee need to get their shit together and go arrest her.

👍👍👍 AMEN!!!👍👍👍
Looking forward to this show.
Every day I just HOPE for the news Jennifer Soto has been arrested. I think we all KNOW at this point she knew exactly what was going on, I just pray there is enough evidence to prove it.
There is absolutely nothing in this life more precious than your child. Its gut wrenching that a mother could allow or facilitate this. If I were ever to become unmarried, I would stay single til my kids are 18. I could never trust a random man around them after hearing so many of these types of cases.
you’re a good mom. i feel the same way i would never bring a strange man around my kids!!!
Madeline was murdered during the early morning and Jenn was aware of it - convince me otherwise. Jenn and Stephan had lots of time to get their stories straight yet they still screwed up the timelines. Lock her up too!
Thank you. I have a lot of emotion invested in this case; it is like the Daybell case. I don’t have time to watch a lot of true crime, but the cases where children go missing with no one knowing, I feel called to be witness on behalf of the child.
I CANNOT believe that Maddies mother has not been convicted also!
I’ve been watching deep dives on other channels and I feel like Jenn sotos top priorities were sleeping 10+ hours a day, taking lots of meds and getting those close to her to give her as much “help” as possible. From what little we have seen of dad and stepmom they certainly seem to have been the clear choice for raising Maddie even if SS wasn’t in the picture. Jenn only has bandwidth for Jenn.
I don’t understand how Jenns dad owned this condo and allowed Maddie to be relegated to a partition in a common area while SS maintained his own private room for when he flitted into town to abuse Maddie and run errands for Jenn. Wake the eff up, people. Lots of people had to have known something was off. At the very least it was obvious that this little girl was no one’s priority.
THIS!!
She only wanted to keep Maddie for her government check each month and child support otherwise she would not have had her around at all. 🤬
I have trouble with this case too!. It’s so disturbing to me. The mother blows my mind and hope they find something to charge her with.
