- In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Deasia Watkins.
Note for TH-cam's review team, here is the context of the video: this is a documentary and authoritative news piece based on actual police documents and case files. Our goal is to inform our audience and raise awareness. - บันเทิง
A woman suffering from postpartum psychosis should NEVER have been given the baby she tried to kill IN FRONT OF THE COPS!! The justice system failed that sweet baby girl!
This is where her aunt needs to have action taken against her…she should have never let her enter the house at all
I agree that it was the al system that failed here.
As did the aunt imho. Who, voluntarily took legal custody AND made legal promises to NOT allow the mother to be around the child (let alone LIVE with her & care for her, unsupervised) . I mean, if not for the aunt's irresponsibility..... this could not & would not have been able to happen. :( That poor baby was failed by many.
@@mmanda515 that's probably why the aunt kept screaming she was going to jail
They didn't give her the baby. They gave the baby to her aunt, and the aunt gave her full access.
"I put the knife in the baby's hand so it would look like she did it to herself".... is one of the most bizarre, unbelievable, terrifying things I've ever heard.
This is what made me hit stop. Scaryyyy.
that statement right there made me question some things because some people are saying postpartum, but I can't think of anyone who has been in postpartum and thought of doing that. Her statement stated that putting the knife in the baby's hand so it looked like the baby had done it. She knew what she did. It's like she was making sure she was supposedly covering her tracks. so she was having a thought process in her mind.
@@marteeloughren2715 she had postpartum psychosis which is different than just postpartum depression which is msot talked about. not all psychosis is violent but it definitely can get that way, whereas yeah with depression pretty much never.
Even hearing this it’s still so hard to understand postpartum.
Mental illness is definitely "bazaar"... call you intelligent would be bazaar as well
😊
My heart goes out to the kids just visiting their grandma and they discovered a dead newborn. They will never forget that.
Yeah every time they go over there their scared they may lose they head😮
Deborah was partly to blame and she should be held accountable. Her son was obviously frustrated with his mother's incompetence and hysterics. DeAsia should have never ever been allowed near that baby. What a piece of crap.
It's easy to cast judgement with the benefit of hindsight
@@alpacapunch9238She was court ordered to forbid Deasia from being with the baby.
What fμcking hindsight are you referring to?
@@alpacapunch9238bla bla bla ... facts are facts alpaca
@@Cuckoo_Lanejustify by the comment you can't talk to a IGNORANT ADOLESCENT CHILDISH person ILLITERACY is a REAL problem regarding critiquing a community of degenerative types today FASHIONABLY STUPIDITY is emotionally empowering. FASHIONABLY STUPIDITY is CONsidered being CULTurally "REAL"/ BELONGING nowadays.
Besides Deborah, every person with a name beginning with De...followed by...ridiculouspatheticsomething should be under supervision.
And the people giving such a name to their babies, making them lifes harder as it has to be, should be in jail.
Also all parents giving names they think are best suitable for later tiktok-/insta- etc.. use should be punished.
Not allowing a father to sign a birth certificate because of an expired ID is insane. It’s easy to verify identity.
they did the same to me with my son. 😑
Dude for real.. I find that to be so crazy to me.
When petty rules take over common sense. On a completely different scale I read about this guy who developed an aircraft bomber for the US navy during WW2. He and his company spent all that money on their own and it was a fine airplane but even though they liked it they got mad at him for not following already existing procedures and wouldnt even consider it. To some people these kind of things are everything.
I agree 💯. His name and biological connection won't change just because of a license date
My DL expired by a couple days. My bank gave me a lil warning that they would do it "this time" but get it handled..it's actually against the law to accept expired ID. Hence = this situation.
I feel ZERO sympathy for Deborah. You didn't just fail to follow instructions intended for the safety of the baby, you were willing to leave an unmedicated Deasia unattended with the baby.
And her “sobs” are pure theater + fear of incarceration (as she said on the 911 call)! She clearly didn’t care about the baby either, because she failed to protect her despite volunteering to do so, she failed to keep the psychotic “mother” away from her, she was sleeping while the murder occurred, and her first realization while on the phone with dispatch was “I’m gonna go to jail” rather than vocalizing her concern for the child! Also, again, her “crying” was an act for the most part! End of story!!!!
@@V-Smith facts
I can't find anywhere if she faced any repercussions, but I really hope she did. Absolutely disgusting.
@@V-Smith exactly! Why even volunteer
She was crying for herself. 🐊 😭
The dramatics and ridiculous sobbing from that aunt makes me so angry. That poor baby.
I know, she was being ridiculous 🙄
I feel so bad for Robert’s child that went to the kitchen and was the first one to notice that horrific scene of the poor baby girl…
Hopefully she/he gets over that and can forget about it, what a SAD and heartbreaking story…😢💔
That child is scarred for life. I pray the child gets professional counseling. 😢
Absolutely. That is a terrible thing for a grown person to witness, much less a child!!@@Nipa10
The boy will be fine.
@@GodisGreat.8942 Are you a therapist
How do you just "get over it" a horrendous incident like that? Your ridiculous
Robert is a real adult. How he handles the call, his mother, the whole situation. Hope he copes with life.
He must’ve been the adult from the time he was younger. Robert seemed like he was the type of child that would have to kick Debora in the ass and talk sense into her if she did something wrong.
Why she is worried about going to jail and not over what happened to that poor baby?? These people are sick
She was worried about jail cuz in her eyes she was the reason the baby was dead. The mother was never supposed to be living with the child she was supposed to be supervised with her.
I think sadly, in some way, he knew it would end with the baby dead. Maybe that's why he was so collected when they found it. He probably had hope the courts would give him the baby, that the mom would come to her senses, or something, but knew also how bad it could be..
@@catiabass9287 She's gonna get fucked up reaaaal bad in there 🥳
If it's ever documented that you have tried to harm your child, you should NEVER be allowed around the baby again. Period.
Exactly and some of the comments are down playing her actions with PPD but she was evil from Early on in her life
@@louniece1650 think about the statement you just made for a second. I totally understand that situations like this seem clear as day, that the mother is completely unfit to raise a child. But that has to be a tough job, being the deciding factor to split up a family. Or even worse, not splitting up that family and then the mother does something horrible. It's not always as easy as it seems from the outside.
There's not enough foster families available and if you house kids in institutions, they will be abused and neglected. I am speaking from first hand experience. There are no good options.
@@robertbaker3620 You're right. I'm just thinking of my nightmare.
I agree. But this was the aunts fault. She wasn't supposed to be there around the child. She said on the 911 call. That she wasn't supposed to be here. So partly cps did there job. They tried to allow the aunt to raise the child but she let her niece stay there anyway.
13 years for an innocent human life is unspeakable.
My baby girl is 13 😢.... I was starved, strangled and beat while pregnant..... I.... I don't believe in postpartum depression....pregnancy doesn't make you want to kill your baby, that's something else.
It's because of pshycosis
@@ellebell9139 Postpartum Rage, Depression, and Psychosis is a very real thing and the more people deny it, the less knowledge that can be spread on those matters. Everyone's experience is different.
@@ellebell9139 postpartum mental health issues are extremely real. It’s not because of trauma that they occur,though. It’s because of chemical imbalances in the brain caused after birth in some mothers. While in pregnancy, a massive amount of different hormones are going on in the body, but then during birth, and then immediately after birth, those horror, moans and chemicals can go completely out of whack. Serotonin levels or dopamine may drop massively, oxytocin levels may drop massively, and a dozen other chemicals, that I am not clever enough to fully understand, change or rise or shift in a way that can be devastating to the human brain. Many, many women experience postpartum depression. One of my very best friends suffered severe postpartum depression after having her healthy baby boy, who she spent nine months, so excited for. She ended up having to be placed in-patient for almost a week because she became a threat to herself. And the reason for that, is because she found that she did not care about her child at the time that it was a newborn. She said that she saw this precious little person that she had been so excited to meet, and a few days after bringing him home, she felt nothing. And that horrified her, made her feel like an absolutely horrible human and even worse mother. But once she was treated for what was going on, all of those symptoms went away, and she remains one of the most dedicated mothers I have ever met to this day. Postpartum psychosis is thankfully much rarer, but it is unfortunately absolutely real, and it is very poorly understood. Look at the before photos of this woman, and look at her photos at the time of her being interviewed. You can see her mental illness, clearly. This was an extremely ill woman, and an innocent child, that her family and that society failed. She should never have been in a position that she could have done what she did, because, given time and adequate treatment, she likely would have recovered from this, and she may well have become a really wonderful mom. That’s why this type of mental disorder is so devastating: it is very sudden onset, and there is no way of predicting it, and it is very rarely diagnosed, until tragedy strikes.
TLDR: don’t let your own suffering and experience cloud the fact that mental illness is real, especially when it comes to women, because that allows cases like this to continue happening.
@ellebell9139 TF you mean she was in psychosis weirdo.
i’m so glad the dispatcher called her out about that random crying
Right and all that stupid crying she was doing an interrogation room
Really?? Have you ever been in shock witnessing a De@@ Baby cut up on a table? You need to watch your mouth, because Karma can sometimes remind you of being insensitive. Its clearly a traumatic thing to experience and some people express themselves differently. I guarantee you if that happened to your child or love one, let’s see how you act. You don’t know until it’s you. The lady is experiencing shock. I’ve dealt with mental shock before, you’ll be amazed how shock makes you act. I’ve seen someone rolling on the ground barking . It’s not a time to be insensitive. 🙄🙄🙄
@@Godschild49but you are a child of God? I wonder what God would do in this situation? Asked yourself that. You aren’t displaying the behavior of A Child Of God or the Bible calling another person stupid in the middle of shock. You need to pray and read your Bible about compassion. Ok! Ms. Child Of God 🙄
@@BrownSugarBaby1992 I’m not perfect. God is. He still working on me and learning to not feel a certain way about child harmers! Does not mean I’m not a child of God means I’m not perfect and he’s working on me!
@@Godschild49maybe you should be working on you instead of god 🤨
"The baby is deceased" has to be one of the most chilling things said in an almost perfectly calm manner. Imagine what would have been done if Robert never came in the house that day.
I wholeheartedly believe that if Robert never came home (and this is a theory) Debora would have woken up to Dede and her deceased child and they would have came up with a way to hide the body to cover up their crimes. Absolutely disgusting. I fully believe they would even tried to hide that precious baby and cover it up....
@420mcluvin3 naaw she would of called Robert
@@djharris6822 that is also another theory but the way she immediately cried as the operator started to talk, showed me shes trying to portray an innocent image even when she very clearly put the baby in harms way by violating a HUGE rule of not having the unstable mother around the child. I also noticed how she kept saying "im going to jail" as that was all she was worried about. That also made me feel like she would've tried to cover it up in a fit of anxiety or fear.
@@420mcluvin3nahhh I think Deasia would’ve slaughtered or attempted to slaughter the whole house.
@@janessastrachan3682 she had post partum depression, she only had ill intent towards her baby, thus why she separated herself from the rest of the house. Post partum is a VERY complicated condition but 9/10 the mother only tries to harm her offspring.
We really need to take post-partum depression and psycosis more seriously. She should have been hospitalized until she was stable.
my dad disembowled and killed himself because he thought there was a bug planted in him
@@sasukeisthicc1203 oh my .so terrible .I hope you are well.
Stop giving sympathy to baby murders
@@keithgarrison The sympathy isn’t for the killing. It’s for the fact her mind was completely and utterly broken.
@@keithgarrison it's not sympathy but an acknowledgement that post partum psychosis needs proper medical attention to prevent this from happening.
Rarely I make comments on these videos. But here's what I think: Deasia is mentally unwell. Post-partum Depression is real and can cause serious problems for the mother who's going through it. Watching both of Deasia's interrogations, the first one you can clearly tell that her mental state is completely absent, which makes sense for someone who has not been taking her medication as prescribed. The second interview, she seems more alert, as she is now on her require medications, I presume. Still, her mental instability is there, and the way the last interview was conducted, I noticed that statements were being provided for Deasia to agree on, rather than have her tell the whole story. I think that yes, she should be held accountable for the crime, and I also believe that the best place for her, is in psychiatric care. Also, Deasia's aunt should face some charges, for allowing Deasia to move in, when that was THE major condition for her to receive custody of the Janiah.
She didn’t have regular post partum depression, she had post partum psychosis. I wish people would take women’s issues more seriously. Everyone failed her and her baby
Aunt Debra's need for attention is disgusting. I've lost a daughter I know the depth of that pain. I haven't felt the need to be the center of attention during the hardest, sadist part of my existence.
In my opinion Robert did INCREDIBLY well handling the situation and I think that should really be highlighted. He kept calm and made sure everyone important to him were safe and okay
I agree, that poor young man was doing his best, when he said “maw here’s a tissue “ he just wants the chaos to stop 😢I pray he found healing
What else could he do ?
I completely agree with that young man that (in the interrogation room) said she was being selfish by repeatedly asking for help. Yes, it must have been horrific to see but the CHILDREN are the ones who originally found the baby in that shape...what about them and what they need? Also, she is the one who allowed this to happen by letting a known volatile and mentally unwell mother to be in her house when she wasn't legally allowed to be there. Also, the 911 dispatcher was right when she was first on the phone and didn't realize anyone could hear her, she was calm. All of a sudden, once she realized she had an audience, the hysterics kick in. I firmly believe this is all an act to minimize the amount of trouble she's in for not abiding by the legal demands to not allow the mother in her home.
I wonder if the reason Robert handled the situation so well was because he wasn't all that surprised that this happened.
The most morally depraved person is the father who abandoned the child. Don’t abandon or abuse children.
The way Robert responded to his mother’s dramatics & the 911 call says a lot about his maturity. I bet he had to play parent a lot growing up & is a wonderful father to his own kids & all children
forreal, as terrible as this situation is, that man taught me a lesson in patience
And he is
I know the dispatcher had to ask the questions, but goddamn were they tasteless and out of place.
Where is ur lawyer . police can't help telling them ur is all wrong
I feel bad for his one child who was the one who found the dead baby.
that woman's crying is possibly the most annoying sound I have ever heard
Post partum psychosis is real. I had it after my daughter was born and it was terrifying. I actually can't remember much about the first sixteen months of my baby's life. I had hallucinations and really believed that the baby was there to harm me. It was dreadful and I'll never forget it. I never got to this stage but I remember the baby feeding and she just put her hand up and I slapped her hand down as I thought she was going to punch me. She was three months old. How ridiculous that sounds. It was at that point that I knew I needed help and I saw my doctor who prescribed medication which helped. 18 years later I still feel guilty about slapping my daughters hand but I know that I was Ill now and irrational. Also lack of sleep didn't help the situation. I know now that I've been a good mum and have a beautiful, kind daughter and I have finally forgiven myself. Post partum psychosis is terrifying and there should be more information out there for new mums.
Sure takes a lot to go thru that after 18th yr.. so sorry you had to go through that.. 😢
I knew about post partum depression but I didn't know about pp psychosis.
How serious and common it is. We need more research and information on women's health.
Thank u for sharing with us bc I didn't know it is that extreme.
Keep counting ur blessings & keep doing what u r doing. Prayers❤
My friend said she kept seeing red and images of herself throwing her baby against the wall.
I never got to that stage but I kept envisioning myself harming my baby, like these intrusive thoughts and weird impulses to do unspeakable things to my baby and myself, even though I loved my baby so much. When I yelled at her for crying as infants do, I knew I needed help. Sleep deprivation definitely doesn't help, and my husband was unable to come help because of immigration issues so I was alone. It was all up to me to make sure I was okay and that my baby was okay. I was diagnosed with PPD and felt much better once I got on medication. They also suggested I stop breastfeeding as that may improve my mood but I decided to just supplement with formula so I could rest more. Still working through my guilt but these stories made me more vigilant in my own health care. Of course, I know that not everyone has access to adequate healthcare or education on the matter. I feel so bad for those mothers who didn't find help or refused it and then something happens because they will one day realize what they have done and that they can never take it back, and people's lives are forever changed.
The son is outstanding. His phone call at the start, the way hes telling his mum to straighten up and that shes being selfish. While holding himself and probably everyone around him grounded. He's a MAN through and through
Nah, hes just an upstanding citizen. Idk why people have philosophize manhood into basic moral tasks, as if though women, elders, and youths arent held to that standard.
Why dont we say "REAL WOMEN/ELDERS/YOUTHS DO THIS"?
Its very patronizing. It shows that society prefers chivalric cringe over practicality.
@@neonfrootit's just not common anymore. Gee give him some credit
@@neonfroot yeah not like there’s thousands upon thousands of years of men being the courageous figures who look after and ground the family unit in both reality and stories. you act like it’s entirely unprecedented, when in reality 1000x more of the worlds history has been spent with this idea of “manly” and only recently have people started making arguments similar to yours.
@@neonfroot they aren’t held to that standard. Women especially. Women hardly face any consequences for their actions and never take accountability for their actions. Unless a woman cold blooded murder somebody like that excuse for a woman did here, there is close to 0 accountability. Even in the case of murder, for whatever reason, if a man and woman commit a horrific crime like murder together, the women ALWAYS receive less time than the man.
@@milana2020I think what's not that common anymore is people regarding men in general as being just as decent as anyone else. Men are, frankly, demonized. You can thank feminism for this. Men in general need to be given just as much credit as anyone else, but they aren't. So that is why, when you have a situation where it becomes impossible to deny that a particular man was being a good person, then people clap their hands and act like he's being a very good boy. Yes, he's a good man, and so are a lot of men.
Post-partum psychosis needs to be closely monitored. Any woman who suffers from it and is discovered to be lying about taking the medicine shouldn’t be anywhere near their children.
I'm surprised they let her go home, who made that call
I don't think it's that simple.
First medical staff have their hands tied with how long they can have a psych hold.
Second when you release a patient you can't be make them be compliant with taking their meds. You can try to leave that in the hands of a relative or friend but that's no guarantee that they can do it, or that they will ask for help for fear of having the person turn against them.
@@vitalucas9452 It's not about making them take their meds. Its about not letting them near the kids. They have every right to not take their meds. But the proper authorities should have just as many rights as to take the child from the uncompliant mother
@Vita Lucas I have my own mental health history, nothing this crazy, but when I only threatened my own life I had a week long grippy sock vacation, I'm surprised that after she almost killed her child they didn't put her in a more intensive inpatient facility, but that just really comes back to the lack of Healthcare in this country
@@BAgee-lw9ct There is a definite shortage of medical care professionals. There can actually be empty beds and not enough staff to keep treating people.
My heart utterly breaks for Robert.
I hope and wish nothing but the best for him from here on out.
Sending love man, truthfully.
And his poor child who witnessed it. Unimaginable.
So after what she did to her daughter y’all really gave this lady a possible chance to still get out to roam freely after 13 years.
no ones talking about this
Robert is a damn legend, even through a horrible situation he was able to make complete sentences. I hope he’s doing good now.
Acting like any normal adult makes him a lengend? Why? Because he’s black so your bar is low?
Praying for this brave young man and his family!🙌 🙏🙏✝️❤🙋♀️
Fr
❤🙏🙋
I hope his kids are okay, too. I can't imagine the mental trauma that poor child will have to carry coming on a scene like that.
I hope Robert is doing better after this tragedy. The way he handled his mom and the 911 call, he's a real man
Just got to 15:57 when I see your comment
You mean a real adult*. Those are characteristics of a great upstanding citizen and responsible adult. He had to keep his composure through all this madness, not just for himself, but for his entire family. I feel for him. Let's hope he gets the help he needs to deal with his own feelings after this trauma.
I don't know what gave the urge for the dispatcher at such a traumatizing or urgent need for help to say " ok is it a boy or a girl " while there litterally dead wth u expect someone to talk calmly while there's A 3 MONTH OLD DEAD BABY ..
@@Jozz. those characteristics, while not unique to men, are traditionally considered to be masculine. he also just is a man, so calling him a real man as opposed to a real adult doesn't make a difference.
@@wutzupbroz some dispatchers got no fucking chill man fr. "the baby is dead on the counter with its head smashed open" "great! now if you could just tell me exactly how many skull fragments are in there, that'd be a huge help :)" like how much more info do you need? just send the fucking cops, the guy doesn't want to traumatize himself.
Robert needs to take his kids and get far, far away from these people.
One of the rare cases where child services did their jobs correctly. This does lie on the Aunt. All the extra theatrics she put on was because she felt bad, as she should’ve. Not only did she allow her near the baby, she put the baby solely in her care overnight without supervision.
This is the aunts fault and deasias no one else's
I am absolutely disgusted, and in tears. When the judge tells you to keep someone away from a child and you already knew what happened prior, why let her back around that baby.
Exactly and I will never understand these people. When I worked at a daycare we had a father that wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near the toddler and the family all knew this, they knew how violent he was. The mama didn’t want to be bothered being by herself so she took the baby back to the dad and the dad murdered him. Violently.
I went thru the same thing I sent the kids back to CPS I was not going through it
@@kelseywelsey2924 To many who never had a two parent home, they want a fantasy family like the Hallmark movies. They want a man to take care of them. For many having a man is everything. Being married - even to an awful person - is considered a status symbol. Sad , but these are facts.
@@kelseywelsey2924💔😣. 🙏🏻💙🌈
The aunt probably felt taking care of the baby was too much work so she just let the mother in against court orders
That young man breaks my heart, I hope he and the kids get therapy for this. Good on him for keeping a clear head and doing the right thing.
I was thinking the same thing. Very well composed.
He seemed very kind. I hope he’s doing well
Robert is amazing. The way he handled that call as calmly as he could, the way he was strong and consoled his mom. What an incredible kid.
He handled it a lot better than I would have.
Seriously. He's an excellent dad as well. Saw what happened, got his kids the hell out the door to safety, and went back in to figure it out. I truly hope everyone, but especially that little kid who unfortunately saw the scene, is in proper counseling. They've got a real father behind them.
"There's a dead baby with its head smashed in and the killer is still in the house"
"Is it male or female?"
No where did the caller claim the killer was in the house. He was concerned the killer (he was assuming it wasn’t his cousin at the time) took Dede and fled the home. If you’re gonna sh!t on the dispatcher, don’t embellish.
The fact she put the knife in baby’s hand “to make it appear that she killed herself”!! That’s very telling of someone who has left reality 💯 RIP dear baby
Lol that was fucked up
Absolutely without a doubt. Such a tragedy
Also a symptom of someone who is stupid.
I agree. Even pre meditates murderers don't have that kind of logic. She needed help 6 months before that ..
@@griffbenoit7687what's funny ..
Parole after 13 YEARS?!?!? That is absolutely insane, this woman beat and stabbed her little baby girl TO DEATH, decapitated her, and doesnt feel bad about it- and she can get parole in 13 years? This sentence is infuriating and disrespectful to Jeniah!! Wow. Ive seen a man get 180 years for a few grams of dope. This woman should never be free again...
Agreed.
She won't be getting paroled. You can take solace in that.
crazy thing is they saw all the signs from the mother.. the aunt even knew about the order and yet she still allowed the mother to move in these people are so idiotic then wants to cry like a 3 year old kid saying might as well kill me too yes you caused this. bless robert and his children no one should see an innocent baby as they did. No remorse people like that are sick in the mind.
Yeah she'll never get paroled. But she should've gotten the absolute maximum sentence allowed. Like to the fullest extent of the law
The sectence is to map the fact she'll be in a insane asylum the rest of her life lmao. It's not that deep
The 911 dispatcher calling Debora out on her fake crying was amazing, lol. 👏🏽👏🏽
💯💯 then her dam histrionics & bs over the top crying at the police station...like bish you deserve to go to jail. Despite the court ordered agreement made good ole Aunt Debbie let this wacko in the house. She needs to suffer the consequences for the lunacy of her position for breaking the courr order. My heart bleeds for Janiyah, James, Robert, of course, and his children. Brokedown system needs an overhaul. Will snatch a child or children who aren't in harms way & the ones who are pay in the WORST ways imaginable. Sleep in God's Eternal Care Sweet Angel Janiyah. You are safe now baby 🕊🙏💝🕊🙏💝🧸🧸
You could just tell she was faking it
But she was ACTUALLY SOBBING in the interview, did you not watch the whole video??
@@MasterNinjaXzyea crying like Elmer Fudd
@@MasterNinjaXz It's funny how everyone else, including the Dispatchers and Police, knew she was fake crying, but you 😂😂🤔🤫
This is so so incredibly sad. The mother is obviously very sick and the family was not equipped to deal with her level illness. So sad for the sweet baby girl and the family
Deasia doesn’t need prison. She needs mental health care, long-term psychiatric inpatient care followed by monitored residential (still confined) care.
Debora needs prison.
Robert needs a medal.
Yeah a lot of people are very harsh to Deasia about 'only' getting 13 years even though she completely lost touch with reality.
Deborah however definitely bears responsibility in this. She let Deasia have contact, she didn't even make sure she took her medication. I feel like she not only let Janiyah down, but also Deasia even though she's the killer, she never needed to be one
Totally agree!!
Like Andrea Yates!!! Mental Institution confinement until……
Robert deserves to be commended for that 911 call. Man he was concise and level headed. Incredible job in a horrific situation.
WTH is everybody saying about the call. He was just as annoying I thought he was guilty. All of them got me sick. I'm angry with God. I really am.
@@cynthiacromwell8002 what😭😭😭
@@cynthiacromwell8002 Idk wym "all of them got me sick" and "he was just as annoying I thought he was guilty." I don't know if you could possibly be deaf or unsure of what the 911 call consisted of but imagine you see a relative brutally mxrdered in a family members kitchen, let alone your sister. Robert had to stand there with his OWN CHILDREN as a LITERAL infant had been mxrdered by their own mother, and by his mother. Everyones talking about the call because imagine that, imagine you have to make a 911 call while having your own mother as the mxrderer, your baby sister that had been deceased and mxrdered by your own mother, your children at the house, and other relatives there as well. Now cynthia, i can understand the case being sick, but the only sick person there was Deasia. Robert had nothing to do with the death, infact he was sure of the infant being taken care of, by CPS and Deasia's auntie. Also, i have no clue what went on inside your brain to make you think Robert could've done this, they had clearly set out a timeline from the auntie, Robert's 911 call and Deasia's confession/guilt plead. You could hear the scare in his voice and the realization that it was reality for him. Sometimes Cynthia, YOU need to keep your opinions to yourself.
also, as someone who's most likely younger then you are (Cynthia is a older name) Even I know better to filter myself then a grown woman can, you're allowed to be angry but read the room Cynthia, and listen to the questioning, 911 call, and timelines again. Maybe it'll tick your memory or sense of logic. Watch the video again, maybe it'll make sense as you're someone who's older.
@Cynthia Cromwell why are you angry with God lmao. Be angry with these retards who committed the crime. Humans have free will

WOW laughing at a brutal case you are as sick as the mother and need help.
@@ocarinasims4204 facts. That is the first thing I thought.
Robert is truly impressive. Remained composed and rational despite all that bullshit. We need more like him.
There is a noticeable disconnect with me and my mom. I am thankful that my grandmother recognized something was wrong after my birth and raised me. To this day my mom disassociate her relationship with me as her daughter. Mental illness is real, exhausting, and traumatic.
RIP to this beautiful angel💔
I just wanted to let you know, I know exactly how you feel.❤
Robert is an extremely strong man. What an absolutely horrific case.
A strong man that was more concerned about his ‘cousin’ and mother than he was about the innocent dead baby on the counter.
@@deevasquez1171 More concerned? He immediately told the operator the child was deceased and there was nothing to be done. What did you want from him?
@@deevasquez1171 yeah, I agreed with Alex. Imagine you are in Robert's shoes during that situation. He did not know that Deasia was the killer of her own baby. Even if he did, what can he do more? Stab his cousin to death? I salute him for remained calm during that situation.

Robert should be in the psychology field professionally. He was AWESOME handling such a heart breaking situation. I wish he would study the profession he would save a tremendous amount of lives.
Man family needs to listen when they say keep them away. This is so sad 😢
Absolutely gruesome that a child had to uncover the scene of that 3 month old on the counter, would never wish that upon anyone
It obvious the kid did it to themselves the knife was in their hand after all. I feel bad for finding humor in this but when she said I put it in her hand to make it look like she did it lol, that's so crazy the baby wasn't even a year old wtf smh.
@@5milemacc737onestly that, its so absurd to think “if i pit the knife in the babies hand, they’ll think it was the baby who commit suicide” she needs extreme mental health help
Ikr!? Who gets called over in that situation, BRINGS the kids and just LETS them walk on in.
I hope that young child was able to go to therapy. Heck, I hope the aunts son and his kids all got therapy. That is something you can’t unsee and it will never leave you. I saw a horrific scene involving my family member at 4 years old and I have never forgotten it. It’s my very first memory in life being only 4 years old. I’m 51 now and still have nightmares.

The detectives did an amazing job I pray that Robert and his children find some way to move forward after what they witnessed.
Yes, that poor man and his children are scarred. My condolences to all involved.
The system is faulty the way they expected a mentally ill person to "be responsible" and take their meds is crazy. She should have been hospitalized. This is a chemical imbalance from the trauma of child birth. They need a facility that allows both mother and child to reside and still bond while being medicated and monitored by professionals
I absolutely agree!!!
The crying shit Deborah did when she first walked into the interrogation room is the same type of shit my grandmother would pull when she wanted people to feel sorry for her and not blame her for her own wrongdoings
It’s always a dead give away
I'm glad I'm not the only who thought it sounded super fake.
Yep I agree..
old black women can always play it up and beg the lord. Hella fake and dramatic.

I feel so bad for James. He knew the baby wasn’t fit to be around the mom and couldn’t do anything. He lost child too 🥺

That's kinda crazy.. even though I get it, official documents require legit everything.. its still hard to think some dumb red tape lead to this.
But.. who can say what woulda happened
This is so sad. People actively experiencing psychosis can not be trusted to take medication because their symptoms (ie disconnect from reality) prevents them from thinking clearly/rationally. The healthcare system in the US fails so many…in other countries where healthcare costs are covered by taxes and healthcare is reliably available to everyone, a mother who is psychotic and had just tried to harm her baby in front of police would *never* be discharged after FIVE DAYS, then trusted to take medication regularly with no oversight. Five days is not enough time for psychosis to resolve, and until psychosis resolves the person is not thinking rationally. Such a sad situation :(
WHAT do you NOT understand about, "Deasia can NOT have contact with that baby."?????? Sheesh! Unbelievable!! Not only is she having contact with the baby, she LIVING under the same ROOF!!
The mother crying was aggravating tf outta me. I applaud her son for how he handled everything. One look at Deasia and you can tell she shouldn’t be anywhere near a child. Smh R.I.H Janiyah
yep exactly as the son said: you're acting selfish. the only thing she was worried about was her own life not the life of deasia nor janiyah

A close friend almost like a sister of mine had post natal psychosis. It's no joke & not like post natal depression. It's serious & definitely can lead to death. Luckily her partner & myself cared for the baby & helped her get inpatient treatment for the pnp. Most women who have this condition also have it for following pregnancies. Deborah could have definitely avoided this whole tragic situation.
Why you telling yo friend business?
Sharing awareness about PNP is a good thing. She didn't name names, towns or any details. Maybe she has permission to share?
I'm glad your friend had you guys for support it's very, very scary and thosw suffering are not sane nor competent at the time
The way she so calmly said “she’s not suppose to be here” until she realized 911 picked up and then immediately turned on the water works. I dunno, seems fishy to me. Why do family members insist on having custody when they know they can’t handle it? And why on earth would she allow her abusive, mentally ill mother anywhere near her?

Deborah should have been charged as well. How did she not hear the baby screaming after being thrown at a wall and lamp??? This is utterly disgusting in every way.
She probably heard the baby crying all the time and was able to sleep through it. They also said she was on medicine so that might’ve made her less likely to wake up. Lots of scenarios. I’ve slept through tornados. Don’t blame that lady for doing what she thought was right for mother & child.
The baby might've been dead already after the first blow to the head.. She was only 3 months old after all and they're really fragile.. But I do agree that Deborah should've been charged as well.
The mother said she threw the baby and it wouldn't stop crying, that's when she decided to bang it's head numerous times on the bookshelf and then took it to the kitchen.
@@xgodzhiredgunx yeah I’m going back to bed. This shit is on a magnitude above average, and the mental imagery coming from this case is very draining.
wonder how would you scream if someone that is 20 times bigger then you, would throw you into the wall. I bet u wouldn't even squeak.
Deborah was dealing with her own issues still trying to help Deasia and her child but it was too much for her to be expected to monitor deasia 24~7 . Deasia should’ve been in an institution long term. The whole situation is heartbreaking. Thank God for Robert. Rest in purpose baby girl.
bless that beautiful baby, robert did what most people couldn’t do, kept his calm. that’s amazing.
Debora's breakdown likely comes from the fact she knows she fucked up by letting Deasia in the home, I understand she was overwhelmed but she knowingly endangered the child by doing so. I feel for Robert and his children, he clearly has had to deal with his mother a LOT, and his children witnessing that poor baby is just...horrific, no child should have that image burned into their mind.
They should have given that child to her father, but instead they refused to put his name on the birth certificate because his drivers license was expired?? How effing ridiculous is that?
she let dede in the home before she took custody of the baby SHE FUCKED UP WHEN SHE HANDED THE BABY TO THE MOTHER WHO WAS COURT ORDERED NO CONTACT SO SHE COULD LAY DOWN WITH EYE PAIN. SHE FUCKED UP WHEN SHE TOOK THE BABY AT ALL

6:06 the change in her voice when she said "she ain't supposed to be here Robert" and when she started sobbing hysterically when the dispatcher spoke is just mind blowing.
She wanted people to feel pity for her. But she is to blame as well. She allowed that woman in her house after she promised the courts she wouldn't. I can not and will not feel sorry for her ass.
I appreciate the dispatcher calling her out on her bullcrap.
@@BakeXlove11 same here !
I don't know because I've never been in that traumatizing situation, but maybe she saw the baby after Robert got her in the kitchen, confused, in disbelief or knowing she( herself) was asleep and now dreaming before actually coming to the realization once she heard the dispatcher saying "911" either way, I see the dispatchers point but even in a soft tone (my psychology experience with a master's degree) would state the operator was being either subconsciously or knowingly argumentive. In this case of call this would be inappropriate. But, I don't know any of their mindset🤷🏽♀️
@@staceybowden6574 - Sorry but the operator was trying to figure out what was going on and didn't have time to deal with Deborah's theatrics. She wasn't being argumentative. She was trying to get ahold of the situation I'm sure, especially considering that s knowing that a baby was brutally murdered was pretty horrible but it seems as tho Deborah was more concerned for herself than what was actually happening. She knew she was at fault. She knew that, while she didn't actually murder that baby, she definitely had a MAJOR hand in it.
I really hope Robert got his kids counseling especially the baby that found the baby.
Postpartum depression is a very serious thing. It suddenly activates serious changes in the body, and the person doesn't behave as usual. It doesn't mean the person is bad, it's just the chemical that destroys your brain. I feel sorry for the woman.
I've watched hundreds of these, and this detective is one of the most skilled I have EVER seen. He understood the exact psychological angle he needed to take. Well done.
Much better than the first woman.
She was redundant.
That's also because he had actual evidence to back his claims up. That made it quite easy for him. Kudos to both of them for keeping their cool though.
@@0002pA true, but the first lady was being overly aggressive and that was never gonna work with Deasia and her situation. Scooting her chair close to try and intimidate her. It was kinda funny that she thought she was going intimidate someone. She seemed very impatient, which I understand with the situation, but isn’t good for a person in her situation. The second guy was patient and did a far better job of talking to her in order to get responses
Damn you sit on your ass and watch videos. You're so impressive.
@@marcuswilliams5255 well, nothing other then medication could have woken that person up to talk. she was deeeeeply lost in Postpartum Psychosis imo. wich is why it worked better the second time to talk to her, as she was then on medication
My partner had postpartum psychosis with our first born, she would have really bad thoughts about hurting him and kept telling me to take him away. Her mindset really wasn’t good, she could not sleep and had voices in her head and hallucinations.
Luckily there was space in a mother and baby unit (Basically a mental hospital for new mothers) she gradually got better and was released after 2 months.
Not something I ever want to go through again, postpartum psychosis really is awful and can make you do crazy things if not treated correctly and swiftly.
It is unfortunate that a lot of people do not know how to deal with it. Deasia's blank stares in the first interview is something I was very familiar with.
All is very well with us now and have long forgotten this incident.
How does this happen and what was it like
Bless you both!!! Glad she overcame that and is doing well ❤
i know what she did was unspeakable, but people are being so inconsiderate, yes, she killed her baby, and thats unacceptable, but that shits real, and ive seen it first hand. my mom was pregnant 12 (maybe more) times, and what it does to a person is insane. its really hard to grasp how they can be loving and fine one second and want to harm or kill the baby the next second. its a struggle. i hope baby janiyah rests in peace, and i hope deasia gets the help she needs. ive never experienced it first hand, so i cant say i completely understand, but from what my family has told me, and what ive seen with my own eyes, my mom had it happen to her more than once, and that it was absolute hell to help with and deal with for both parties. i feel bad for everyone.
@@shr0om1ez I never realized till I had my first baby just how much havoc pregnancy and birth can wreak on the body. Nobody really ever talks about the darker side of pregnancy. I knew of course that it could be uncomfortable, unpleasant and bring out or worsen certain health problems but didn't know the extent till I was pregnant with my son. My pregnancy was a nightmare and while I didn't have post partum psychosis, I did have severe post partum depression among other pysch symptoms that I had never had before. OCD, intrusive thoughts, paranoia, agoraphobia and panic attacks. I didn't even get into all the physical problems I had and still have even after 8 years. Post partum psychosis and depression are horrible, I feel for any woman who has to go through it. Having a baby is supposed to be an amazing moment in a woman's life, and its awful that these types of ailments exist :/
Exactly people just ready to judge this lady like can’t no other woman go through this like postpartum depression ain’t real I hate social media
That woman is traumatized. Her nervous system is fucked up.
She should have called the authorities and say taking care of the baby was too much. She tried to be the saviour and healer; save the baby from foster care and hoping her good deed would heal DeAsia.
Robert handled everything so well. I feel so crushed for him and his kids. He had to manage his children, who SAW the horrid scene, and try to ground his mother, who was practically hysterical. I hope he’s able to get as much support as possible.
Robert came across as a man who has spent his whole life having to manage his mom's theatrics.
You have to listen to the whole recording- the dispatcher totally escalated the situation. The poor guy had to tell her in like, five different ways that the baby was beyond rescue, before she finally told him the cops were on route.
( I’ve noticed that since then, more dispatcher get that information to the caller right up front. Because yeah, say that FIRST, then ask a bunch of questions.)
Yes an incredible young man
Robert Stuart we love you. we see you. I am also the one who had to make the calls to the cops and hold it together. please take care of yourself, you deserved so much better.

Jesus, I hope Robert's child who first found the baby is able to work through such a trauma. Robert is a fantastic father for ushering his children out of the house.

A possessed troll doll, that.
@@tucci06 How’s it fiction? You see the proof right here and still deny it 😂
The Aunt screaming she’s going to jail instead of screaming about her grand niece shows you who she really cared about. You’re looking at your own flesh and blood in the worst possible scenario and you can only think about how it’s gonna negatively impact your life.
Exactly and her wailing for someone to help HER despite her son telling her what about the baby and him and the other kids. What a piece of work. He told her she's being selfish and she said "No I'm not!" And then continued to ask what about ME?? How disgusting
Poverty stricken members of society thrive off of narcissistic, selfish acts usually accompanied with drugs and alcohol.... Her hootin and wailing is normal behavior believe it or not. I used to do public work for 10 years thinking I could make an actual difference, even if it just was for a couple souls.... They don't want help. They want YOU to SERVE Them. It was always so easy for them to come up with absolutely convincing lies. They're truly masters of manipulation....
I got the hell out of the city, bought 30 acres out in the middle of the woods near the Appalachian and now serve God...
She knew she did wrong by leaving the little baby with the mother and was probably scared of getting punished. The cries were pure selfishness... shame on her... for a second i thought she was the killer. This could have been prevented!!! The old lady was not able to care for a young baby... so sad...
Selfish people think like that and the whole victim mentality crying thing. Yeah, I didn’t buy it.
Honestly, I'm not going to hold that against her. That child has only been in her care for maybe a little over a week I think (March 6-March 15) so she hasn't even developed that much of an emotional attachment to the baby. So her first instinctual reaction to the death of the little baby made sense. Blood relation has very little to do with the level of love she would have for the baby in this case if she's only known it for a short while.
What does make her the asshole is the fact that she accepted the role of looking after the baby when she knows she's been dealing with health problems and personal problems that could affect the level of care the baby receives. She didn't take seriously the fact that her niece was going through a scary medical illness and let her have access to the baby because she couldn't handle looking after the baby by herself. She was incredibly irresponsible which led to the death of an innocent baby. I'm not done watching the whole video but I wouldn't be shocked if she was charged for negligence because her actions are a prime example of that.
Edit: Oh god, I'm shaking my head at the family. Cindy, Debora's niece and Deasia's sister, was the one who took charge and said the baby needed to stay with the family and knew that Debora was reluctant to take the baby in. I'm side eying her to the extreme right now. And now that I think about it, Deasia has been staying with Debora even before she got temporary custody of the baby. And no one in the family thought this was an issue? This whole family needs to self-reflect on themselves.
LOL, Cindy is talking to the investigator about how Deasia isn't allowed around the baby in such a calm voice as if this whole thing has nothing to do with her. I'm okay with Debora crying her eyes out because it sounds like the guilt is eating her up inside but damn, Cindy is acting so cold blooded about this whole thing. She's got blood on her hands too. She's the one who said she'd pitch in and help and she's been in the know about Deasia staying with Debora too. I'm speechless.
I'm not sure how I feel about Deasia trying to shift the blame of who killed Janiyah. On one hand, I know she's been diagnosed with Post Partum Psychosis but after treatment and what looks to be a very sober mind, she's trying deflect responsibility of what happened to her baby. All the evidence pointed to her and her immediate response is "I didn't do it" and that her aunt did it. She didn't even need to blame her aunt here, she could have just said I don't know what happened. She pointed the finger to someone who took her in when she was at her lowest. It doesn't really reflect well on her. If she had any love left for her daughter, she owes it to her to tell the truth instead of running away from it.
Holy crap, just got to the part where Deasia confessed to what happened. It made me feel sick. Considering how she was able to remember the gruesome details of what occurred, it's clear she didn't want to take responsibility of what she did and tried to blame her aunt for it. So all those denials before of saying she can't have done it and that her aunt did it and how she just doesn't know... she knew this whole time. It's one thing to acknowledge she wasn't in her right mind during the act of committing the crime, but after the fact? After getting sobered up and trying to push the blame on someone else when she knew she was the one who did it... if the police didn't have damning evidence on her, would she have admitted to it? It's a scary thought.
Poor girl is clearly suffering from severe psychiatric disorders, post partum depression is terrible beyond words and psychosis also, was mind-bending. Bless the pool baby. RIP.,, Love and prayers for the mama and the family. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢
This is some of the best detective work I’ve seen on this channel this guys a pro
Robert is one hell of a man. You can tell he’s the glue that held that family together. I just hate to think of the terrible things he must have seen and gone through in his life to be able to keep it together while dealing with what he saw in that kitchen, what his children saw and what his mother saw. It could be argued he went through the most trauma (besides the baby) that day yet he was the only one able to keep his wits about him and get the right things in motion to move forward after what his cousin did.
i agree with you in saying he pretty much went thru the most trauma of anybody in that situation, as a son, cousin, father and human. so sad and i hope he and his kids are well.
Perfectly said, Jr!
*Also, I'm from WV, too!
You can tell that he’d fuck you up if you messed with his kids
I'm from wheeling WV 😊
I'm from WV too. It's so sad.
Deborah is crying because she is afraid she is going to go to prison for putting the baby in danger. The is the one of the first things she said she she called 911.
That detective did a good job of running through the questions. Well done.
Robert is a heck of a guy.
How did the aunt not get charged with something after lying to CPS about the baby's mom staying there? That honestly could have avoided that poor baby's death. So incredibly disturbing and sad.
Cos they don't give a fuck
It's called black privilege.
I don't know she was partially at fault, in my opinion, and purely out of laziness. She could have told someone she wasn't up to taking care of the baby, and they would have found her a different home.
Exactly
I’m saying the same thing. If the aunt didn’t let the mother there the baby would still be alive. I’m shocked she didn’t get charged too. The aunt plays a big part for that baby’s death.
The mother is clearly insane no way the aunt thought she was in her right frame of mind to be around let alone live with the baby.
That's why I have zero sympathy for Deborah. None.
@@WobblesandBean Its so easy to judge from across the world, comfy sitting in front of a computer, with no idea of the circumstances she was having to deal with. She clearly was trying to do the right thing.
No, the aunt new she wasn't right in the mind atm. She is just as much to blame. She knew the conditions and she ignored them. Not to mention, she's crying and freaking out because she's going to jail, as she states herself, NOT because an infant's head was just smashed in on her kitchen counter. She did not care for that baby enough and she allowed that to happen to the baby by being absent. Of course the mother was to blame for the death but if she were monitored and gotten the help she needed (like being monitored to take her meds), that baby would most likely be alive and well today.
Child protective services failed.causing an innocent soul so much pain.sooooo sad
@@veshroom You clearly have never dealt with a mentally ill person.
You can LITERALLY put the pill in their mouth, watch them swallow it, and still you wont know if they did. They can hide it under their tongue, or even try and retch it back up. Mentally ill people are capable of anything.
And I guess we watched a different video. While she did mention jail, 80% of her cries were about the baby, and poor thing, and its my fault, and I cant live with this.
Yeah. She knew the mother was not supposed to have contact, but she thought she was doing the right thing. Maybe she needed help, she couldnt handle her life and the baby which wasnt hers.
Judgyjudgy.
It isn’t often that I have to stop and walk away from a video, but hearing how callously she talked about her little baby… the brutality she subjected that poor baby to… It took me forever to get through that section because I just couldn’t stomach it. Those detectives are so good at their jobs, I don’t think I could be as professional as them if I’d been in that room
I feel awful for Robert and that poor innocent baby. The sad reality is that the aunt is even more to blame than the mother because at least the mother is certifiably nuts. The aunt was of sound mind and chose to place that baby in danger. How was she only given 13 years and the aunt not given any time?? Disgusting court system!! What was done to that poor baby should be done to the mother!! That’s justice! Poor Robert has no competent family members. He is on his own.
My wife went through PPP after giving birth to our first. She was perfectly fine before without any mental issue but the moment her hormones dropped, some wires in her brain got crossed and she literally said "I'm going crazy". There was delusions, lack of sleep, manic, bipolar. It was a tough year for us but she stuck to the psychiatrist treatment and finally got back to herself around a year later.
This is case is really tragic..
I'm really happy for you, your wife and your family. Even though I'm a stranger, something like this is averted and you have a full family. ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience. Gives a different view of PPP
I was on the border of this. The delusions started and I immediately got help. It’s really scary. I have a hard time with this case because she didn’t even try to help herself. Or seemed to not want to.
You sticking by her and helping her through that time was a tremendous help. Trust me without family understanding and support, it only makes things worst. I can truly admit that if my husband didn’t take the time to notice that things weren’t right and help me through ppp after our first child, I’m not sure I would have been able to do it alone while trying to raise our baby. Some of the things he told me, that I was saying and doing, I can’t remember up until this day. It was frightening.
By the time we had our second daughter 10 yrs later, we had preventative measures in place just in case I ended up suffering from ppp again, and fortunately those measures we had in place helped both of us.
It is very common at some level and I wish ppl would take it more seriously. It's heartbreaking.
When social workers and psychologists say that someone shouldn’t be around someone, the family needs to cooperate. This is what happens when people don’t listen. It’s sickening and depressing that this baby has suffered something so disgusting. Deasia is sick.
The court should have done a better job of looking into who they give care of a child to some one without doing. A complete background
If you need to do a 9 year background to work for the gov it should be even more strick for adoptions for kids
@@BobThebuilder-nq5rx a background check wouldn't have done anything here. A family member was given temporary custody of a baby until the mother was well enough to resume raising them, this is fairly common. The aunt ignoring orders and letting the mother come around was stupid, but not something that could have been predicted. It's unfortunately very common for family members to ignore psychologists when they say that someone is too dangerous to be around someone else, they don't want to believe it.
Deborah is sick too
@@Cobe299 agreed.
@@BobThebuilder-nq5rxthe court can only do so much. Us black families need to take mental health and mental illness more seriously. Ppl suffering from it don’t deserve prison.
I feel so bad for that little girl, and for her family members who discovered her. I also can't help but feel for Deasia. Postpartum psychosis and depression are very real, and psychosis in particular requires serious intervention and dedication by all involved in order for it to be overcome. The way Deasia speaks is fully in line with someone suffering from severe mental issues, just so detached from reality. She is still at fault, obviously, but I can't help but think how horrific it must be for her when she's lucid, properly medicated, and realizing fully what she did.
Poor Robert surrounded by insanity. Can you imagine how the poor guy grew up. I feel so bad for him.
Robert didn’t think his mother was that incompetent because he dropped his children off to her every morning for them to go to school from her house. He knew she was housing his mentally ill cousin and her baby that she wasn’t supposed to have contact with. At no time did he feel the need to call cps to inform them. The whole family was aware of the situation but put everything on the sickly old Aunt. He never stepped in to get the baby himself because he was still using his mom to help with his kids. The whole family was dysfunctional and in denial about how sick Deasia was. It was the responsibility of CPS to find proper placement for Janiyah.
Robert was amazing. Not only did he witness the outcome of a brutal murder, he also witnessed his kids witness it, and still stayed so strong throughout. I hope that Robert and his kids get any help they need
A buddy of mine responded to this scene (EMS). He has such bad PTSD that he had to quit his job and is struggling day to day. I can only imagine what Robert and his kids are going through mentally.
@@michaelwoodall9295 Man that’s so messed up. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve heard something like this. I was working as a laborer for a pipe surveying company & a new guy started. He said he’d just left a job at the coroners office or whoever goes to retrieve the bodies & put them in the bags to transports them. He was only working there for about 2 weeks when they were called to pick up the body of an infant/toddler & it really fucked him up. Usually they’ll have at least 2 guys come to carry out the bodies. But he said he remembers holding the baby’s lil body bag in his arms carrying them to the van by himself. He said he was never the same. He quit the next day. And they made pretty good money.
He really was amazing . I don’t like how that monotone , obnoxious dispatcher talked to him . She needs retraining asking the same stupid questions he answered for her several times
@@groberts80 the dispatcher was great actually. That's what they're trained to do, and yes re asking questions is standard to make sure you have a clear view on the situation. Emergency Services need to know what they're walking into.
@@Bl4ckD0g nope she was terrible and needs more training . She kept asking the same thing over again and bitchy so no she needs to find a new job . Maybe with her rudeness McDonald’s is more suitable for her lol
I feel bad for Robert’s little kid that had to see that scene first. Even a grown man could not force himself to describe it. I hope that kid got therapy and help along with anyone who arrived on scene. Such an unfortunate case that could have been prevented by a better system.
Yes, like paternity tests at birth by default.
@@PajamaJazama I don't think that would've done much in this case
@@poob1082 bcs the father would have custody, which wouldve been better
@@poob1082 She was placed with the aunt because paternity couldn't be established. Fathers should have the right to know anyway.
More like stop letting mentally ill ppl breed make it a law crazy ppl breeding like rats
As a dad of a 1 year old I’ve had long nights with my daughter but I swear I’m so grateful for even those! This shit really hurt my heart to hear her speak of how she did it.
I love how the 911 dispatcher called Debora out on her fake crying, that was brilliant.
postpartum psychosis is one of the scariest things to me, I know some people fake it but just the fact that it can happen to totally normal women is so scary and sad
Yes it is. I had it and it literally takes your sanity away. Hallucinations, delusions, rages, completely insane. It takes so much to come out of it. Months of treatment and I am just now able to return to my sanity. It is so much worse than people think.
Women are just fing insane, bro.
@@SearchingfortheTruth77 thanks for sharing that, good luck in your recovery, you got this!
@@SearchingfortheTruth77 (((Hugs)))))
This woman was demon possessed. She was off balanced and insane.
I’m so *angry* towards Aunt Debora! Her theatrical crying and weeping when she KNEW 1) it was too much for her to be a caretaker for her nieces and 2) allowing Deasia to be around her daughter when she’s not taking her meds. Her calm tone on the 911 call before she put on the “show” of being unable to talk and her goat-sounding “sobbing” in the interrogation room pissed me off.
Same. I really wanted her to just shut up.
Yep - she brought this shit on herself by not following the rules laid out by the court, because she thought she knew better. Fucking idiot. And then moaning like a shot wildebeest - Honestly wish someone would have moved her out of the room, she clearly wasn't contributing to anything.
It is the aunt's fault, she knew the woman was mentally ill and allowed her around the baby anyway.
@cremetangerine82 it sounded like withered chicas voicelines in fnaf ucn 💀
@@Foxyrun1000please 😂
Also, aunt Debbie should be held accountable for Letting Deasia stay there and that shady 911 call
The most horrific omg this world sucks . I have a 3 month old and it’s so hard to even imagine. I’m so sorry baby RIP
The kid has me impressed with how well he communicated under such insane circumstances, and the way he refused to re-enter the home seemed like a master class in boundary setting. What an awful case!
He wasn't a kid though he was an adult.
@@pattycarljackson Kid or adult, doesn't matter in this context. Anyone being able to handle such a horrific scene in such a calm and collected way is impressive.
@@joshua7233it matters because you straight up called him a kid when he’s a grown adult with children. Making the distinction between an adults ability to cope and a kids is what YOU did. He’s not a kid, he’s an adult.
@@nala7658 don't see any post that makes a distinction between an adults ability and a kids ability to handle it unless someone deleted their comments
I didn't call him a kid. Learn how TH-cam works.
I'm sure the aunt felt really guilty about letting the mother be alone with the baby after the fact BUT I wholeheartedly believe all of the "hysterical" crying/sobbing in the interrogation room and on the 911 call was because she wanted to play victim so she wouldn't be held accountable for allowing her niece around the baby KNOWING she wasn't supposed to be. She even kept screaming "OMG, IM GONNA GO TO JAIL" in the background. Like the 911 dispatcher said, before she realized they were on the line.. Her voice was pretty calm, then she started being hysterical when the lady began talking.. The aunt was more worried for herself! SMH...poor baby girl, she didn't deserve this.😢
Yes very unnatural cry. The quake and break in the cry was obviously performative. When I was young I was at a friends house when her bother suddenly came in saying her grandfather had just died. My friend’s mother suddenly broke down to the floor and cried. Her cries were so impactful and strong. So raw and uncontrollable like the wailing and gasping of a hurt child. Our bodies can tell when it’s fake.
Yeay that crying she did killed my ears
I'm honestly surprised she wasn't charged with something. I take issue with a lot of what CPS does, but even if authorities weren't involved, Debora should've known better than to let DeDe around little Janiyah knowing her history of psychosis and refusing treatment. I think she did feel bad and was just trying to be a good aunt to her niece by giving her a place to live, but when it comes down to it, the baby's welfare was most important. This was totally avoidable. Poor baby girl.
Yeah. The aunt was definitely milking it. But, in her reaction versus the stone cold initial interaction with the mom, shows, weirdly, how an innocent person’s reaction does often contrast the guilty. This show highlights how much criminals gloss over and minimize or deny their involvement versus typical innocents adamantly and angrily refuse blame. Both examples were extreme, but in the same ball park as guilty vs innocent.
When I heard the details, though, my own heart went cold. I usually find empathy for postpartum moms. Not this one. She had some support for her depression. Her depression was diagnosed. She let it build up and kept it in to let a simple diaper change become such a heinous breaking point. Her actions were deliberate and ongoing throughout many rooms in the home.
This murder sounded more like pure cold hatred rather than trance-like smothering or drowning. None of those scenarios is pleasant. Hers was uncharacteristically brutal. And to then try to frame the aunt? That also doesn’t seem “typical” of postpartum depression.
I agree the aunt is a selfish human being she knew the baby wasn't safe with the mom but still alowed it she should be done for manslaughter...
Omg ! The fact she said she is twitching after stabbing in her eye I want to cry and throw up
That lady was insane. Yet another CPS failure. There is NO cure for postpartum psychosis. She should have lost custody immediately! God, take care of baby Janiyah and grant her peace.
First off, "Aunt Debbie" knew she was taking on too much by fostering the baby, but she still did it. She knew the mother of the baby was not to be around her, but she still allowed it. It's not like the mom showed up at her house unexpectedly either, the Aunt went and helped her get her things together, brought her back to her home and gave her a bedroom. Remember this too, the baby's crib WAS IN THE MOTHER'S BEDROOM. Also, the Aunt stated she couldn't do it on her own, she had already raised her own children and didn't want to have to raise someone else's baby. When the Aunt came into the interrogation room freaking out, screaming how it was her fault, she was going to jail, she knew, and it was clear at that point, that she violated the orders to not allow the mother to be around the baby, but she not only allowed her near her, she moved her into her home with the baby AND the crib was in the mother's bedroom. Aunt Debbie said it was her fault and she was going to jail because she clearly was well aware that she violated the orders and agreement and, sadly, is also partially responsible for the baby's brutal murder.
Oh I think she’s completely responsible - mom was not capable of making sane decisions and her aunt was told by a damn court not to let her near the baby. She’s the entire reason the baby is dead. Yeah I know mom did the deed…but you can’t expect someone suffering from psychosis to not do psychotic things!
CPS pretty much insisted the Aunt take on the,baby,she was in i’ll health ,so should not of had CPs insist she took on the baby ,then give her no help or support .
It is stated that due to her physical illness she was reluctant too take on the baby,.
I’ll bet CPS wasn’t giving the aunt was financial aid or given so she pay for help.
The aunt Was i’ll and left to cope alone ,offered the right aid,she would would probably not of had the mother their.
It seems that the mother in the delusion of post partial illness the mother believed the baby was an incarnate demon so she killed here .
The whole tragedy could have been avoided with plenty of help in caring for her nieces baby girl .
Just another case of CPS not doing the right thing .
She should have been in care of her brother ,who is wonderful father,if he had her she would still be alive .
F***ked up that he wasn’t given the chance to look after her .
I feel like this is one of tho o not my baby girl she could do no wrong type of think I like to call it mother blindness were most mothers cant believe there kid can do something wrong.
@@BookishDark most people are not trained on how to deal with relatives suffering from psychosis and would never foresee this kind of horror, a lot of people take mental illness lightly and aren’t able to grasp how fast things can escalate until something absolutely horrible happens, like in this unfortunate tragedy. I’m sure she already has to live with this guilt everyday without having random commenters online blaming her for causing this horrific murder. My heart goes out to her as I hope she is able to forgive herself for her mistakes and find the strength to move on from this all.
She was definitely responsible for the demise of that child, she knowingly let her niece with clear mental health issues be with the baby. She sat there and helped her be close to the baby, she should be sentenced as well for disobeying orders and basically assisting in this poor child’s death.
