It really does suck! A lot of judges wish to give more time or less depending on the crime but the way the laws are written they can only give a certain amount max or min for crimes. It's just awful
@@skulley100the judge in this case should have sentenced him more than what has prescribed stating why he is doing so - it would lead to mistrial but also force the laws to be reviewed and changed.
@tredjesongen I don't think they even think his "cured". These guys get out for good behavior because of course they don't do their crimes in the prison. How could they ..there are no little girls there to assault. Hope he got some "attention" from the other inmates during his stay.
Isn't it wild how we can use prison for slave labor from minor offenses AND just decide a violent criminal is essentially in detention and if he claps enough erasers and writes enough lines he's good to go?
@@rose_blue1 There is a thing called criminal by association where if you help cover up the crime, even if you didn’t commit it, you still get arrested and charged.
Anyone who commits a violent crime should NOT be let out so easily. Especially when sexually assaulting a CHILD. Just disgusting! But we have people who grow "illegal" plants in their backyards locked up for life. Such an awful justice system we have. More needs to be done.
What a disgusting monster. He deserves to be put in a hole; without being rescued. This is why we need to bring back oubliette’s. In ‘83 I was locked away in a basement with 3 younger sibs. It was horrible and “unspeakable” things happened to us. We made it out. However, 2 of my sibs are dead now. Due to the torture we endured at the hands of our egg donor. Me and my only living sib, make sure to remind one another we are survivors. There were folks that could’ve helped, and didn’t. Always speak up if you suspect child abuse/neglect. Better safe then sorry
Wow so justice wasn't severed. She probably wasn't the first or the last child that man abused & left for dead. I don't believe we allow these evil people back into society.
@@shennell420 did you not hear the part of the video where he said that this is before a lot of measures we have for kidnappings now did not exist and that at this period of time that you could get more jail time for animal abuse than you could for entering a small child? Do you think that might have something to do with it?
@@jr5557 did you not hear the part of the video blah blah blah blah blah blah CRY MORE! RRRREEEEEE! Justice clearly wasn't served when a child molesting murderer is let back on the streets fool!
All they gotta do is let slip to the prison population what the guy did and these things have a way of getting taken care of a lot of times...but I guess not always. Shame.
I hope someone somewhere took this guy and placed him in a similar hole to rot until death. I hope the judge and everyone involved in freeing that worm suffered years of mental torture and guilt for being shit at their job.
Yeah its crazy how little time people can get my dad for example he is a pedophile and he only got 6 years in prison he went to prison when I wad 2 months old and got out when I was 6
More like disrespectful, since they took privileges by editing out a victim’s own words that she was telling to a camera. Evidently they were just trying to avoid copyright strike.
@@FelisitaLiberta Also as a victim i agree with Sunshine (it wont let me tag them) The facts need to be stated, to show people the true horros of the world. i'd want them to know my story. All of it. She was telling the camera for a reason.
@@sunshine3914 You have to also remember that TH-cam really cracks down on a LOT of videos concerning crime. So many of the channels I watch are now having to bleep or remove content to keep from risking their videos being removed and/or demonetized. And when I talk about them being demonetized, I'm not talking about channels trying to make a lot of money, but just make enough to continue to provide quality content. I kind of get it, too, because children can get on YT and possibly see/hear things they shouldn't (and let's not get into the parents keeping tabs on what kids watch, because we all know there are a lot of shit parents out there being far more neglectful than that), but at the same time it sucks that videos that I want to watch are having to do this. Like saying "SA" instead of sexual assault, or "unalived themselves" instead of "committed suicide".
*I was abused my entire childhood by a family member and I didn't grow up hurting others! It made me more protective. They damn sure can't use that as an excuse! That poor baby. I guarantee you she was NOT his last victim!*
Everyone processes trauma differently. Your situation is different from that of Robert Paul Thiret. *"Children Learn What They Live" ~ Dorothy Law Nolte"*
that wife has zero shame. Seriously she's as horrible as that monster, defending and being just an absolute protector to people like her husband is even worse than the perpetrator. ugh it's just disgusting to see their holding hands photos
It's sad that so many good men can't find a nice woman but monsters like this can find someone this loyal so loyal that they would commit acts of evil.
We have to understand that no one lives thinking their brother, son, father, uncle is around killing little kids. If I tell you your husband killed a child, what? Are you going to believe me right away?These people are good at hiding their depraved minds and some don’t hurt those around them, they go out and hurt other’s people’s kids.
“For good behavior” wow! This is why these animals do it again because they know “good behavior” will help them get out earlier so no serious consequences after they rob someone of their entire life. Sickening.
Agreed. For repeat offenders or those who did something so heinous there should never be an option for parole. It should be life or death. There are so many cases of people like this that get out only to reoffend 10+ more times. Then the justice system says "how could we have known?" They ignore the studies that sexual deviants never get better. They would need to demonstrate empathy to others. I was abused as a child but never once thought about doing the same to any child or anyone else. It's a sad world we live in where people who hurt children and the vulnerable get out for good behavior yet people who kill their abusers get life without parole.
Good behavior. Lmao! Ofcourse he'll be good. There's no little girls to assault there and most probably he's on protective custody or in cell alone to prevent other inmates attacking him when they knew what he did. What a joke!!
This whole video broke my heart but hearing her crying in pain after she was saved hit my in my chest and has me crying… hard. I’m a mother of toddlers and that is a pure “help me mommy I’m in pain” cry. It’s the type of cry that every parent knows because they wish they could just take the pain away from their baby and they can’t. The strength of that baby girl is absolutely mind blowing. I’m so proud of her and what she’s done with her life. She wasn’t bitter, she wasn’t seeking revenge or justice. She truly did not let him ruin her life at all. She won. ❤️
I know the little girl was the suffered but I can't even imagine how traumatizing it was the couple who found her. It would have taken everything I had to keep brave face & not break down crying in front of that little girl until help arrived.
She's going to deal with breaking down that trauma for the rest of her life. I hope she's able to forget more and more often. I hope she's able to find as much healing as humanly possible, but you can't ever replace childhood innocence and no child deserves to have that part of them taken so horrifically and suddenly
Justice is as much (if not more) about keeping the public safe from a known offender as it is rectifying a wrong and satisfying victims and the families. 6 years for violating a child and throwing her into a cesspool to die is the second crime covered in this story. Unfortunately, it's not unbelievable. I'm not surprised with the leniency one bit.
Yea that part was a really weird take “Justice doesn’t help sufferers and is more for the witnesses than the victims?”. Its odd even the victim she says it’s not about justice and that she is more concerned with understanding the perpetrator….. that’s such a weird stance. Most victims and their families want justice. I think the fact she never actually got it messed with her perception and she convinced herself it wouldn’t have helped her in order to deal with the fact she didn’t get it. I don’t even see what there is to “understand” about the perpetrators? Other than what they did wasn’t your fault and that person is garbage. That whole part was odd, like you said justice is about protecting the public as well so I don’t see why it’s being downplayed as unimportant.
@@DosYeobos this is a fantastic observation. While I am in awe of Lori's grace toward her victimizer, what she said is just not reality. There is no reason to "understand" evil like this. In fact, it means you are a good person if you don't understand it. And justice benefits both the victim and society. Punishing evildoers humanizes the victims, everyone else involved, AND EVEN the evildoers themselves, since it forces them to understand the suffering of their victims through suffering of their own. It's easier to empathize with people you've hurt if you hurt in return, and empathy is what makes us human.
Unseen, dude I respect you! You show so much respect by NOT telling the details of the horrifically shitty stuff, but still telling the story. I am happy she's alright and the guy needed to be in there longer than 6 years honestly.
This story made me cry, get angry & then over joyed they found Lori alive. She is truly a survivor, amazing what she has accomplished after such a traumatic event. The empathy she shows is outstanding xxxx
We at EndCAN are thankful that Lori decided to be a catalyst for change! EndCAN strives to educate others, raise awareness, and fund research; all helping to prevent child abuse and neglect and help healing for all survivors. No matter your story you can make an impact and shatter the silence!
I’m confused by “Justice doesn’t help sufferers and is more for the witnesses than the victims?” What kind of shlt take is that? Justice is about punishing wrongdoers and keeping others safe from future attacks from the offender. Its odd even the victim she says it’s not about justice and is more concerned with understanding the perpetrator, that’s such a weird stance. Most victims and their families want justice for closure and to know the perpetrator can’t harm them or someone else. I think the fact she never actually got it messed with her perception and she convinced herself it wouldn’t have helped her in order to deal with the fact she didn’t get it. I don’t even see what there is to “understand” about the perpetrators that could bring peace? Other than what they did wasn’t your fault and that person is garbage. There is nothing to understand, sick people are sick people.
@@DosYeobosyou don't want to understand, she explain why she thinks that very clearly. So often abusers were abused as children and trauma led them to a wrong path. That's why she talks about understanding, so that mistakes can be prevented and abuse end.
When I first heard about the sexual abuse in this video, I was scared. It’s one of my biggest cPTSD triggers, but I’m so glad I decided to sit through it. I related to a lot of Loris comments. She’s so insightful and I see a lot of myself in her. Thank you Lori. Thank you very much.
I remember this! I was 9, we lived 3 hours away in a small mountain town, and it was all over the news. My dad wanted to go to Denver to help look for her. My grandparents lived in Denver and would call my mom and give her updates on what was going on. She was so upset for Lori and her mother.
Mindboggling cruelty from that man to even think of dropping a small child down a 10 foot hole into a dirty toilet to die of starvation. An utter savage . And then we have the other extreme & beautifully gracious Lori wants to let this man know he matters in hope of healing his monstrous heart. Im so glad Lori was not left there to suffer unto death. Poor little child , her face is heart wrenching...
I watch lots of true crime videos, and although many are heart wrenching, I don’t usually cry while watching them. Seeing 3 year old traumatized Lori laying in that bed crying, and seeing her parents hugging her again… made me sob. The things she has endured are horrific. So glad she has healed and is able to help so many people. What a truly incredible woman.
When in doubt, assume the worst in the people. That used to apply mostly or even exclusively to strangers you encounter in the world but sadly we as a society should have included family and those closest to us as well (not to say many haven’t been suspicious and there successfully avoided scumbag family members or friends). The harsh reality is bad people prey off our generosity and the prey on our most vulnerable.
@@JME1186 100% right. I watch a myriad of true crime content and the ratio of stranger on stranger crimes including murder is significantly out weighed by family on family crimes, it's really quite sad to be honest. The things some human beings forcibly inflict on another human being just blows my mind, it's really awful, I mean truly animals on this planet treat other animals better than we humans do our own kind, that's horrifying to me.
I love how the videos are so respectful but informational, and they always end on some uplifting note that we can take away. It lets me not get overwhelmingly depressed but still be aware of things that happen and to be vigilant about safety.
I have tears pouring down my face. Lori you are my absolute hero, not only for surviving and helping to send this monster to prison but also because you have taken a god awful horrendously traumatic attack, something that so negative and turned it into an amazing positive. I have no doubt the amount of kids and their families have been impacted by what Lori is doing now. What an amazing human being Lori is. I'm so glad to have seen this story thank you. As for Robert, there is a special place in hell waiting for him that is extra hot but until you arrive there may you days be filled with the most horrible things that life could possibly offer, because Robert, you deserve nothing less.
It is sad that every minute, childrens get kidnapped and killed. It shows how cruel humans can be :( my heart goes to all the parents who have lost their child and wishing luck for parents who are still looking.
Thousands of children crossing the United States border go missing every month. They are used for sex, sacrifice, experimentation, torture, etc. Many with the power to stop it do nothing because they are in on it. This actually happens in many countries - not just the United States.
I remember the feelings of horror throughout Colorado when this happened and I'm so glad to know that she was able to not only survive, but to learn & grow from her nightmarish experience. She is making a huge and positive difference in people's lives.
This actually makes me sick. I don't care if the kidnapper was abused or sexually assaulted. There are two people in this world. Someone, who if they were traumitized, would help others because they don't want anybody else to go through what they have is a good person. Someone who would just pass on the suffering because they don't want to go through it alone is straight up evil.
I think an extra layer of sickness that people dont often think about is the fact that even if the kid is still alive, some pedophiles just get rid of them to find a new one. Like its one thing to take one kid and ruin their life, but to dispose of them for no reason and go after the next is just like an extra layer of vile.
@@lillia2479 When the brain is barely 3yrs old, it produces nearly a million new cells/connections each second, up until the age of 5. This is why we don’t remember much before 5, because our brain is learning so much more. I could understand her remembering some traumatic details, but not the entire time. Unless she went thru deep psychological therapy & even hypnosis at a young age, she’s probably retelling what adults told her.
@@lillia2479 So, a 6mo old baby will remember a traumatic event? What about labor & delivery? For 9mos, we float in a warm, liquid sac & hear the sweet voice of our mother. Suddenly, we’re squeezed thru a tiny hole (vagina) & pushed into a new world that’s cold, bright, & loud, & we’re forced to breathe air. That’s extremely traumatic. Why don’t we remember that?
The mother was not ignorant. If she was not the person that abused Robert Paul Thiret as a young boy then she probably looked away while it was occurring. *"Children Learn What They Live" ~ Dorothy Law Nolte*
This is one of the worst cases I've ever heard. There were so many moments when my heart and stomach dropped- only to hear a miracle come out of it, followed by another and another...The witnesses that were able to provide descriptions...first, half of the license plate, then, a grandmother provides the whole plate # thanks to her instincts a week prior. All hope seemed to fail upon finding out the sicko had driven 20 miles into deserted mountains, DROPPING this baby into an abandoned out house HOLE to slowly die in isolation, only to be found alive 4 days later by BIRDWATCHERS who needed a bathroom break on their way back down the mountain! I'd be so traumatized if I'd found a child like that- with sepsis over most her body. Yet again, Lori not only survives but THRIVES! She is my hero. She faced something so dark...its unfathomable. I firmly believe suffering - if you decide to use the bottom of that deep, dark pit to then kick off of, you will rise like you never knew possible. The cuts let the bad out so the light can shine in. Some never make it, but those who do grow strong and tall. This standing back up after the fall is what it's all about. Lori has done this more eloquently than anyone. The peace, strength, wisdom, love and light she has obtained from this battle is truly miraculous and its radiating from her. None of us have an excuse after hearing her story. Find the silver lining when you are lost in a sea of darkness. Focus on that light and love, embrace it, become one with it (again), and go forth to be a beacon of light for the others still stumbling in the darkness. Thank you for your light, Lori.
Lori Poland is one of the most Extraordinary people I've ever heard of!! Her compassion and even concern for her own captor and abuser along with caring for other sex offenders is out of this world! She has a very very rare ability to Truly Forgive her abuser. We should all follow her example. What a beautiful and wise and encouraging woman she is! God bless you Lori ❤ Thank you for this incredible docu!!
I’m a survivor too and I’m sorry that whole speech about victims not needing justice as much as they need to have understanding and empathy for the perpetrator in order to heal made me want to puke. I’m sorry for Lori, and proud of her for every single way that she managed to cope. But you can’t make a generalization as horrific and wildly unacceptable as that and have not be impacting to the community of victims as a whole.
Six years is crazy but I’m so glad she was able to heal as much as she could and all the good that came from it. You guys did an excellent job telling this story.
Omg this is a miracle that she survived this horror and still have this positive mind today😞😖. Lori u are a true angel and I doubt it hasn't been an easy journey mentally and physically to come this far. But I am in total awe of you and bless you
That girl is a bonafide angel🪽. God bless her. She is so far beyond the usual human. Its horrible but not very surprising that they let that monster out. I hope her response made him stop and realize he tried to kill an angel. She was protected and she has used that in astounding and amazing ways. She is beautiful. Thank you Lori. And thank you for the upload Unseen.🙏💞
it’s impressive how much strength she has to be able to help people that actually perpetrate the kinds of crimes she was a victim of. personally, i hold on to a lot of rage from my own experiences, and i can’t imagine what she went through to reach this point in her life.
It's uploads like this one that makes me love your content. I'm so glad I found you and please don't stop! I always click as soon as your notification appears! And await the next one!
Justice may not have been necessary for her survival, but it certainly would have been helpful for his next victim. And there certainly was a next, probably multiple next victims. Absolutely sickening this poor little baby
I can't believe the mother was so ignorant to his behavior throughout the years. I also can't believe the police didn't look into the tip a month ago with the license plate given to them. This all could have been avoided if the red flags were followed through.
The mother was not ignorant. If she was not the person that abused Robert Paul Thiret as a young boy then she probably looked away while it was occurring. *"Children Learn What They Live" ~ Dorothy Law Nolte*
What a horrific experience Lori had to suffer, but what an inspiration she became. Proof that putting the work into healing yourself can change your world, and in her case-the world of countless other victims. 💪💯❤️
I'm amazed that she took something so awful horrible and turned it into something good and helpful to humanity. What an incredibly beautiful example 👏 👏 👏
And this is the difference between a cold case for 60 years and a solved case early. Lots of strangers and neighbours being perceptive and able to remember details of unusual goings on in their neighbourhood and working together to quickly obtain the evidence needed before it is lost. In that group its always extremely important to have investigators/detectives/police officers willing to take their job seriously, listen to the public and act on information. Something that rarely happens
When these kidnappers do these things the victims have to live with the scars for life and I cannot understand why we continue to let these monsters back out into society. You kidnap or murder someone or rape someone should just automatically get the death penalty
This is unbelievable, and I'm surprised I've never heard of this story which is absolutely heartbreaking. Watch your children closely. There are monsters in this world. Truly evil people. I wonder what happened to the child molester, into the woman that gave him a FAKE alibi?! How shameful. For your husband to brutally assault a child, into stand with him? Something's just is wrong with that woman!!!
Amazing community of people back then. They paid attention, one dad going right after him at the school. Wuanita Zappa... same seeing the car, and got that tag. This little girl and woman now is very special.
Your brain treats trauma one way or another at a young age, either you completely shut off, disassociate and then bury it in your subconscious, or due to physical pain, close proximity to your abuser, etc. You are constantly reminded of it and it never gets to your subsconcious. Either way, those memories are stored forever, trauma just doesn't go away. Even infants can experience PTSD and have memories and flashbacks about trauma, and they will react differently to infants who have not experienced any. For example, studies have shown a baby who suffers neglect will learn not to cry for attention, because they remember that their cries were never listened to. They absolutely have memories.
What an inspiration that Lori Poland is!!!! She has turned her tragedy into an incredible as well as aggressive campaign in stoping the ongoing further exploitation of children as well as increasing awareness of the physical and sexual abuse that children suffer from every day!!!! Keep kicking ass Lori Poland as your dedication is an inspiration to all but especially the poor victims of childhood abuse and trauma!!!
Just the idea of being 3 years old, suddenly snatched away from safeness, your parents, your complete understanding of the world and then its suddenly brutally destroyed. It is so utterly painful to think about. These poor innocent babies who have yet any grasp on the world or any capacity to protect themselves. There's no end to the intense horrifying pain humans can inflict on one another.
I feel so much for that child. Man how worried the parents must’ve been. I can’t imagine either of their views in this. I’m happy Lori has been able to heal and find some peace, if even a little. I wish her the absolute best and a life long and full of so much love and happiness.
Wow how disturbing what this woman had to go through at the age of three just makes me sick. So happy that she survived and she is a hero to do what she's doing now to help others is amazing❤
As a survivor of abuse myself, justice is more so for the "victim" than for the witnesses. I have no idea where that woman got her crazy idea! I would have been very grateful to have had justice for the abuse I was put through! It would have helped with my cPTSD!
My heart broke every minute watching this as I nearly got abducted not long ago.. I’m actually glad he chose me to be his victim that night but not to any other girl because I knew what to do
That must’ve been so traumatic, I hope you’re okay, may I ask for tips? I’m a girl myself who’s scared to even be in my own home at night because of this
Aw. I don't know how Lori is so positive and uplifting. She has amazing strength and kindness in her soul. She is to be admired by the way she did not give into the torture and pain her tiny little body went through in those horrific days. Some angel up above had to send that couple to that exact spot in time to save her. I cannot be as forgiving for the past childhood that I had. Which makes me admire others who have been violated by monsters and have the ability to forgive their actions. God bless you. From Ireland 🇮🇪
i got goosebumps 😰we are the same age and the fact that she remembers so well says something...when you hurt a child it will stay with them forever 😢 this guy deserves ...i wont say it here. Lori my love, you beat the monster ❤
What always infuriates me about these kind of cases is the they get a reduced sentence for something horrible on GOOD BEHAVIOUR. Like, people like this don't deserved to be released on anything. Just cause they were good in the cell doesn't mean they'll be good in the public.
Never heard of this, this video really touched me, it was beautifully done guys , as Unseen videos are always done, but this one was special. But Waww.... What a girl, makes you put things into perspective. If this wee 3yr old could survive this and turn out as strong as she is now a woman , we could all be doing with a bit of Lori in us . A true worrior, and survivor! ✌️💜💜💜
Ima TC stan but the details in this live horror movie shook me to the core! When the first thing he did b4 snatching her was remove her pants revealed his true depravity. Broad daylight, full of witnesses, yet he couldn’t even wait til she was in his van. That’s gotta be one of the scariest facts I’ve ever heard!
I was abused from the time I was 6 months old (1971) by my dad. At 3 years of age he poured hot coffee down my backside causing a 3rd degree burn. I still have that scar to this very day. When I was 6 years old (1977), hed shaken me so hard that for 2 hours I couldn't even hold my head up from the "looking up" position. Every time I tried my head would hurt so bad I could barely open my eyes. I don't remember what it was I'd done to make him so mad that he'd do that. When I was in 1st grade the 1st time I was also abused by my 1st grade teacher which was the result of having to repeat my 1st grade year over, but I was with a different teacher in a second 1st grade class. I remember coming home and taking my little Beagle, Misty, out into the woods with me for a walk as I always did. We'd had severe thunderstorm warnings heading our way. Dad found Misty and I in the woods and swatted me with a whistle strap from where he'd found us clear to the house 100 yards away. I had marks from my lower back to my ankles. I went to school the next day only able to wear a sundress. I hurt so bad I couldn't even set down. The school called CPS. He told them we were in for a severe thunderstorm and that he'd warned me that if he caught me he'd whip me so hard I wouldn't set down for a week. They dropped the case. And I couldn't set down for a week. His shaking me not long before that as hard as he did caused ne a life time of problems with my memory in comprehension and shirt term memory. By the time I was 5 years old my math skills were advanced. I could add, subtract, multiply, divide and do fractions. Ever since the shaking, my memory with basic math I can no longer do any of it by memory, I either have to write it down to work it out or use a calculator. I can remember important dates, years, even events, but that's it. If one thing was out of place and not where it belonged after I was playing with any toy, reading a book, or coloring in my coloring books I'd get the belt. When I'd gotten shaken, Shaken Baby Syndrome wasn't even an abusive concept until the 1980s. I was diagnosed with SBS when I was in the 3rd grade. Because of that I was placed in Learning Disability classes from my 3rd grade year clear up to my graduating year in 1991. I would have graduated in 1990 but I was 1 credit short so I went back and earned that high school diploma. I may have grown up as an abused child (physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically. Never sexually) I had one miscarriage (my only son) but 4 daughters in 1993, 1995, 1998 & 2000. I made it my choice to never do to any of my daughters what was done to me most all of my life. They may have a mentally messed up mom but they are happy, independent, loving, outspoken, respectful and well mannered young women. They will tell you what they think, give their opinion and straight up be straight forward with you. I can say I raised them right.
The fact that his mother said I am not sure what I did " or what happened to him or when it happened" makes me think she actually knew exactly what experience switched his brain
I'll never understand how someone can be sexually attracted to a freaking kid, let alone 3 y old. These kind of people needs to be punished in the worst way possible
See that's one thing I don't get about the cycles of abuse. If someone knows what it's like to have their innocence stolen from them at such a young age wouldn't they do everything they can so no one else has to experience the same? They know how horrible it is so how do they reconcile putting that horror on another child?
Woah, woah, wait. This monster had a WIFE who held his hand through the trial & provided him with a false alibi committing perjury for him, knowing what he did?! That is beyond disturbing.
I remember when this happened .. I live in indiana and i remember hearing this on our news then heard she was found alive .. I bawled my eyes out … God Bless you Ms Lori …
Deine Videos sind wirklich sehr gut, verständlich, auf den Punkt gebracht und gut recherchiert mit originalen Bildelementen und insgesamt in einer allgemeinen runden Darstellung wiedergegeben...kurz, bündig, wissenswert und informativ und interessant gemacht. Sehr gute Arbeit 👍✌️
That's nice she wants to understand him and isn't worried about justice. That's fine for her and whatever she needs to do to heal. However it's not ok for everyone else. Justice isn't just about punishment it's about protecting society from violent dangerous monsters like this. There's no amount of healing he can do to convince me he's safe being out on the streets.
He can heal on his own time sitting in prison. I am more worried about any other child suffering the way she did. Why is she more concerned about these sickos than their victims and potential future victims?
Wow.... What a woman... What a kid!!! Can't imagine the terror. I was abused as a kid but it didn't want me to abuse back... I know what it feels like so could never inflict that pain on another person
How tf do you kidnap/abduct someone in broad daylight, do evil shit to them & get only 6 years in prison? The judicial system is horrible!

Right, I'd out my husband in a second. Honestly I'd probably kill him myself🤷♀️
Anyone who commits a violent crime should NOT be let out so easily. Especially when sexually assaulting a CHILD. Just disgusting! But we have people who grow "illegal" plants in their backyards locked up for life. Such an awful justice system we have. More needs to be done.
I think the truth is we value racism as a country more than we value children’s lives.
What a disgusting monster. He deserves to be put in a hole; without being rescued. This is why we need to bring back oubliette’s. In ‘83 I was locked away in a basement with 3 younger sibs. It was horrible and “unspeakable” things happened to us. We made it out. However, 2 of my sibs are dead now. Due to the torture we endured at the hands of our egg donor. Me and my only living sib, make sure to remind one another we are survivors. There were folks that could’ve helped, and didn’t. Always speak up if you suspect child abuse/neglect. Better safe then sorry
Wow that is disgusting! Fucking monsters out there huh? I feel bad when I yell at my kids. Couldn't imagine hurting them in that way.
That is so awful. Amazing that you got through something so awful. That never should have happened. Congrats on your courage and strength.

Six years? ONLY SIX YEARS? I sincerely hope the public took on the vigilante role after he got released.
All they gotta do is let slip to the prison population what the guy did and these things have a way of getting taken care of a lot of times...but I guess not always. Shame.
I hope someone somewhere took this guy and placed him in a similar hole to rot until death. I hope the judge and everyone involved in freeing that worm suffered years of mental torture and guilt for being shit at their job.

Yeah its crazy how little time people can get my dad for example he is a pedophile and he only got 6 years in prison he went to prison when I wad 2 months old and got out when I was 6
Six years... I guess times were different then. That makes me sick. Thankfully people like that do life sentences now.
I appreciate that you guys respect the victims and not share the details of the attacks.
More like disrespectful, since they took privileges by editing out a victim’s own words that she was telling to a camera. Evidently they were just trying to avoid copyright strike.

@@FelisitaLiberta it was her choice to give her account and telling how she feels, why would you hide that?
@@sunshine3914 You have to also remember that TH-cam really cracks down on a LOT of videos concerning crime. So many of the channels I watch are now having to bleep or remove content to keep from risking their videos being removed and/or demonetized. And when I talk about them being demonetized, I'm not talking about channels trying to make a lot of money, but just make enough to continue to provide quality content.
I kind of get it, too, because children can get on YT and possibly see/hear things they shouldn't (and let's not get into the parents keeping tabs on what kids watch, because we all know there are a lot of shit parents out there being far more neglectful than that), but at the same time it sucks that videos that I want to watch are having to do this. Like saying "SA" instead of sexual assault, or "unalived themselves" instead of "committed suicide".
*I was abused my entire childhood by a family member and I didn't grow up hurting others! It made me more protective. They damn sure can't use that as an excuse! That poor baby. I guarantee you she was NOT his last victim!*
Well said. I am sorry for all that you have been through. I am sending you a huge hug xxxx
Did the family member ever get punished?
While it’s not excusable, we can use it as a base to understand the cause for action and behaviour.
I haaaaate when people use that excuse same here I'm the mama bear of the group and don't want kids
Everyone processes trauma differently. Your situation is different from that of Robert Paul Thiret.
*"Children Learn What They Live" ~ Dorothy Law Nolte"*
that wife has zero shame. Seriously she's as horrible as that monster, defending and being just an absolute protector to people like her husband is even worse than the perpetrator. ugh it's just disgusting to see their holding hands photos
It's sad that so many good men can't find a nice woman but monsters like this can find someone this loyal so loyal that they would commit acts of evil.
We have to understand that no one lives thinking their brother, son, father, uncle is around killing little kids. If I tell you your husband killed a child, what? Are you going to believe me right away?These people are good at hiding their depraved minds and some don’t hurt those around them, they go out and hurt other’s people’s kids.
@@jamesforsythe1151 good men find good women.... if you think good men cant find good women they probably arent good men
“For good behavior” wow! This is why these animals do it again because they know “good behavior” will help them get out earlier so no serious consequences after they rob someone of their entire life. Sickening.
Exactly and it's so sickening
Agreed. For repeat offenders or those who did something so heinous there should never be an option for parole. It should be life or death. There are so many cases of people like this that get out only to reoffend 10+ more times. Then the justice system says "how could we have known?" They ignore the studies that sexual deviants never get better. They would need to demonstrate empathy to others. I was abused as a child but never once thought about doing the same to any child or anyone else. It's a sad world we live in where people who hurt children and the vulnerable get out for good behavior yet people who kill their abusers get life without parole.
Good behavior. Lmao! Ofcourse he'll be good. There's no little girls to assault there and most probably he's on protective custody or in cell alone to prevent other inmates attacking him when they knew what he did. What a joke!!
@@luminvader8911True and sadly they learn to leave no witnesses. The laws of the United States protect criminals and ignore the victims.
This whole video broke my heart but hearing her crying in pain after she was saved hit my in my chest and has me crying… hard. I’m a mother of toddlers and that is a pure “help me mommy I’m in pain” cry. It’s the type of cry that every parent knows because they wish they could just take the pain away from their baby and they can’t. The strength of that baby girl is absolutely mind blowing. I’m so proud of her and what she’s done with her life. She wasn’t bitter, she wasn’t seeking revenge or justice. She truly did not let him ruin her life at all. She won. ❤️
I know the little girl was the suffered but I can't even imagine how traumatizing it was the couple who found her. It would have taken everything I had to keep brave face & not break down crying in front of that little girl until help arrived.
Beautiful ❤
6 years? Lori is lucky to be alive and will have years more of trauma than that. I’m so glad Lori is trying to help so many.
Correction: so glad that she is helping so many.
She's going to deal with breaking down that trauma for the rest of her life. I hope she's able to forget more and more often. I hope she's able to find as much healing as humanly possible, but you can't ever replace childhood innocence and no child deserves to have that part of them taken so horrifically and suddenly
Ac quy tre con giam qua bi oi bat no tu
She really shows how amazing she is by trying to help all child abuse victims to end the cycle of abuse.
She's extraordinary.
Justice is as much (if not more) about keeping the public safe from a known offender as it is rectifying a wrong and satisfying victims and the families. 6 years for violating a child and throwing her into a cesspool to die is the second crime covered in this story. Unfortunately, it's not unbelievable. I'm not surprised with the leniency one bit.
6 years for an obvious attempted murder....Nice.
Bingo!!
@@mememefinally it's better than nothing which happens sadly. But I wish he would have gotten more time 6 years isn't shit
Yea that part was a really weird take “Justice doesn’t help sufferers and is more for the witnesses than the victims?”. Its odd even the victim she says it’s not about justice and that she is more concerned with understanding the perpetrator….. that’s such a weird stance. Most victims and their families want justice. I think the fact she never actually got it messed with her perception and she convinced herself it wouldn’t have helped her in order to deal with the fact she didn’t get it. I don’t even see what there is to “understand” about the perpetrators? Other than what they did wasn’t your fault and that person is garbage. That whole part was odd, like you said justice is about protecting the public as well so I don’t see why it’s being downplayed as unimportant.
@@DosYeobos this is a fantastic observation. While I am in awe of Lori's grace toward her victimizer, what she said is just not reality. There is no reason to "understand" evil like this. In fact, it means you are a good person if you don't understand it. And justice benefits both the victim and society. Punishing evildoers humanizes the victims, everyone else involved, AND EVEN the evildoers themselves, since it forces them to understand the suffering of their victims through suffering of their own. It's easier to empathize with people you've hurt if you hurt in return, and empathy is what makes us human.
Anyone who even dares to touch a child deserves a fate worse than hell
Unseen, dude I respect you! You show so much respect by NOT telling the details of the horrifically shitty stuff, but still telling the story. I am happy she's alright and the guy needed to be in there longer than 6 years honestly.

I’m confused by “Justice doesn’t help sufferers and is more for the witnesses than the victims?” What kind of shlt take is that? Justice is about punishing wrongdoers and keeping others safe from future attacks from the offender. Its odd even the victim she says it’s not about justice and is more concerned with understanding the perpetrator, that’s such a weird stance. Most victims and their families want justice for closure and to know the perpetrator can’t harm them or someone else. I think the fact she never actually got it messed with her perception and she convinced herself it wouldn’t have helped her in order to deal with the fact she didn’t get it. I don’t even see what there is to “understand” about the perpetrators that could bring peace? Other than what they did wasn’t your fault and that person is garbage. There is nothing to understand, sick people are sick people.
@@DosYeobosyou don't want to understand, she explain why she thinks that very clearly.
So often abusers were abused as children and trauma led them to a wrong path.
That's why she talks about understanding, so that mistakes can be prevented and abuse end.
When I first heard about the sexual abuse in this video, I was scared. It’s one of my biggest cPTSD triggers, but I’m so glad I decided to sit through it. I related to a lot of Loris comments. She’s so insightful and I see a lot of myself in her. Thank you Lori. Thank you very much.

I remember this! I was 9, we lived 3 hours away in a small mountain town, and it was all over the news. My dad wanted to go to Denver to help look for her. My grandparents lived in Denver and would call my mom and give her updates on what was going on. She was so upset for Lori and her mother.
Mindboggling cruelty from that man to even think of dropping a small child down a 10 foot hole into a dirty toilet to die of starvation. An utter savage .
And then we have the other extreme & beautifully gracious Lori wants to let this man know he matters in hope of healing his monstrous heart.
Im so glad Lori was not left there to suffer unto death. Poor little child , her face is heart wrenching...
I watch lots of true crime videos, and although many are heart wrenching, I don’t usually cry while watching them. Seeing 3 year old traumatized Lori laying in that bed crying, and seeing her parents hugging her again… made me sob. The things she has endured are horrific. So glad she has healed and is able to help so many people. What a truly incredible woman.
Lori has so much grace. The world is blessed to have her fighting to turn everything around. Amazing child, amazing woman x
Thank you, Unseen. For your amazing videos. They have taught me so much about the world we live in, and have helped me spot danger and be safer.❤
When in doubt, assume the worst in the people. That used to apply mostly or even exclusively to strangers you encounter in the world but sadly we as a society should have included family and those closest to us as well (not to say many haven’t been suspicious and there successfully avoided scumbag family members or friends). The harsh reality is bad people prey off our generosity and the prey on our most vulnerable.
@@JME1186 100% right.
I watch a myriad of true crime content and the ratio of stranger on stranger crimes including murder is significantly out weighed by family on family crimes, it's really quite sad to be honest.
The things some human beings forcibly inflict on another human being just blows my mind, it's really awful, I mean truly animals on this planet treat other animals better than we humans do our own kind, that's horrifying to me.
Samee
I love how the videos are so respectful but informational, and they always end on some uplifting note that we can take away. It lets me not get overwhelmingly depressed but still be aware of things that happen and to be vigilant about safety.
I have tears pouring down my face.
Lori you are my absolute hero, not only for surviving and helping to send this monster to prison but also because you have taken a god awful horrendously traumatic attack, something that so negative and turned it into an amazing positive.
I have no doubt the amount of kids and their families have been impacted by what Lori is doing now.
What an amazing human being Lori is.
I'm so glad to have seen this story thank you.
As for Robert, there is a special place in hell waiting for him that is extra hot but until you arrive there may you days be filled with the most horrible things that life could possibly offer, because Robert, you deserve nothing less.
It is sad that every minute, childrens get kidnapped and killed. It shows how cruel humans can be :( my heart goes to all the parents who have lost their child and wishing luck for parents who are still looking.
Thousands of children crossing the United States border go missing every month. They are used for sex, sacrifice, experimentation, torture, etc. Many with the power to stop it do nothing because they are in on it. This actually happens in many countries - not just the United States.
Resilience is such a beautiful thing. I'm glad Lori had the support she needed to become the admirable woman she is today

I'm so glad she survived, being only 3 at the time 🥺 poor little girl had to suffer because of such a monster
This actually makes me sick. I don't care if the kidnapper was abused or sexually assaulted. There are two people in this world. Someone, who if they were traumitized, would help others because they don't want anybody else to go through what they have is a good person. Someone who would just pass on the suffering because they don't want to go through it alone is straight up evil.
I think an extra layer of sickness that people dont often think about is the fact that even if the kid is still alive, some pedophiles just get rid of them to find a new one. Like its one thing to take one kid and ruin their life, but to dispose of them for no reason and go after the next is just like an extra layer of vile.
I find the way he tried to get rid of her especially disturbing, shows how little be thought of her
What an intelligent 3 year old. It's amazing (and sad) that the woman remembers all these details, too. I don't remember anything from when I was 3.
Right. I don’t understand how she could remember so many details.
@@b-dub6865You seem surprised by what trauma does to someone.
@@lillia2479 When the brain is barely 3yrs old, it produces nearly a million new cells/connections each second, up until the age of 5. This is why we don’t remember much before 5, because our brain is learning so much more. I could understand her remembering some traumatic details, but not the entire time. Unless she went thru deep psychological therapy & even hypnosis at a young age, she’s probably retelling what adults told her.
@@b-dub6865 Age doesn't really matter as much during traumatic situations. Even if the mind doesn't remember, the body will still remember.
@@lillia2479 So, a 6mo old baby will remember a traumatic event? What about labor & delivery? For 9mos, we float in a warm, liquid sac & hear the sweet voice of our mother. Suddenly, we’re squeezed thru a tiny hole (vagina) & pushed into a new world that’s cold, bright, & loud, & we’re forced to breathe air. That’s extremely traumatic. Why don’t we remember that?
"I can barely remember" is a weird way to refer to your child's trauma
Sounds like his mother was another abuse enabler who helped make her son into a sociopath. “Maybe ainfailed him.” You know you did.
The mother was not ignorant. If she was not the person that abused Robert Paul Thiret as a young boy then she probably looked away while it was occurring.
*"Children Learn What They Live" ~ Dorothy Law Nolte*
I could never be as understanding and forgiving as her. As a victim, I need justice. Everyone’s different, I guess.
This is one of the worst cases I've ever heard. There were so many moments when my heart and stomach dropped- only to hear a miracle come out of it, followed by another and another...The witnesses that were able to provide descriptions...first, half of the license plate, then, a grandmother provides the whole plate # thanks to her instincts a week prior. All hope seemed to fail upon finding out the sicko had driven 20 miles into deserted mountains, DROPPING this baby into an abandoned out house HOLE to slowly die in isolation, only to be found alive 4 days later by BIRDWATCHERS who needed a bathroom break on their way back down the mountain! I'd be so traumatized if I'd found a child like that- with sepsis over most her body. Yet again, Lori not only survives but THRIVES! She is my hero. She faced something so dark...its unfathomable. I firmly believe suffering - if you decide to use the bottom of that deep, dark pit to then kick off of, you will rise like you never knew possible. The cuts let the bad out so the light can shine in. Some never make it, but those who do grow strong and tall. This standing back up after the fall is what it's all about. Lori has done this more eloquently than anyone. The peace, strength, wisdom, love and light she has obtained from this battle is truly miraculous and its radiating from her. None of us have an excuse after hearing her story. Find the silver lining when you are lost in a sea of darkness. Focus on that light and love, embrace it, become one with it (again), and go forth to be a beacon of light for the others still stumbling in the darkness.
Thank you for your light, Lori.
Lori Poland is one of the most Extraordinary people I've ever heard of!!
Her compassion and even concern for her own captor and abuser along with caring for other sex offenders is out of this world!
She has a very very rare ability to Truly Forgive her abuser.
We should all follow her example.
What a beautiful and wise and encouraging woman she is!
God bless you Lori ❤
Thank you for this incredible docu!!
I’m a survivor too and I’m sorry that whole speech about victims not needing justice as much as they need to have understanding and empathy for the perpetrator in order to heal made me want to puke. I’m sorry for Lori, and proud of her for every single way that she managed to cope. But you can’t make a generalization as horrific and wildly unacceptable as that and have not be impacting to the community of victims as a whole.
Six years is crazy but I’m so glad she was able to heal as much as she could and all the good that came from it. You guys did an excellent job telling this story.
I can’t believe he got such a lenient sentence and his wife is sick!!!
Wow, I salute Lori Poland for being courageous despite everything that's happened to her. Her kidnapper is evil😖
Omg this is a miracle that she survived this horror and still have this positive mind today😞😖. Lori u are a true angel and I doubt it hasn't been an easy journey mentally and physically to come this far. But I am in total awe of you and bless you
I really appreciate the fact that you respect the victims and their stories and leave out the details of their abuse. ❤️
That girl is a bonafide angel🪽. God bless her. She is so far beyond the usual human. Its horrible but not very surprising that they let that monster out. I hope her response made him stop and realize he tried to kill an angel. She was protected and she has used that in astounding and amazing ways. She is beautiful. Thank you Lori. And thank you for the upload Unseen.🙏💞
Justice might not help ptsd or the victim... but keeping him in prison is to stop him from hurting other kids.
it’s impressive how much strength she has to be able to help people that actually perpetrate the kinds of crimes she was a victim of. personally, i hold on to a lot of rage from my own experiences, and i can’t imagine what she went through to reach this point in her life.
It's uploads like this one that makes me love your content. I'm so glad I found you and please don't stop! I always click as soon as your notification appears! And await the next one!

Sometimes people show up at the right place, right time.🤗
Justice may not have been necessary for her survival, but it certainly would have been helpful for his next victim. And there certainly was a next, probably multiple next victims. Absolutely sickening this poor little baby
Her mom was so happy she was found and I felt that 💕
I can't believe the mother was so ignorant to his behavior throughout the years. I also can't believe the police didn't look into the tip a month ago with the license plate given to them. This all could have been avoided if the red flags were followed through.

This is the exact reason why I live miles outside of any town with a half mile long driveway. Poor baby girl. Poor poor baby girl.
Why didn’t that wife get charged with perjury- disgusting all around!
What a horrific experience Lori had to suffer, but what an inspiration she became. Proof that putting the work into healing yourself can change your world, and in her case-the world of countless other victims. 💪💯❤️
I'm amazed that she took something so awful horrible and turned it into something good and helpful to humanity. What an incredibly beautiful example 👏 👏 👏
And this is the difference between a cold case for 60 years and a solved case early. Lots of strangers and neighbours being perceptive and able to remember details of unusual goings on in their neighbourhood and working together to quickly obtain the evidence needed before it is lost. In that group its always extremely important to have investigators/detectives/police officers willing to take their job seriously, listen to the public and act on information. Something that rarely happens
When these kidnappers do these things the victims have to live with the scars for life and I cannot understand why we continue to let these monsters back out into society. You kidnap or murder someone or rape someone should just automatically get the death penalty
He probably works for Disney now!
@@jglow8337 How's that working for you?
This is unbelievable, and I'm surprised I've never heard of this story which is absolutely heartbreaking. Watch your children closely. There are monsters in this world. Truly evil people. I wonder what happened to the child molester, into the woman that gave him a FAKE alibi?! How shameful. For your husband to brutally assault a child, into stand with him? Something's just is wrong with that woman!!!
Amazing community of people back then. They paid attention, one dad going right after him at the school. Wuanita Zappa... same seeing the car, and got that tag. This little girl and woman now is very special.
it's so beautiful that she can remain hopeful despite her circumstances. inspiring af
Thank you, we at EndCAN agree!💙
Lori was just a young girl by the time this awful incident happened. I offer my condolences and sympathies towards her friends, family and relatives.
It's amazing she can remember any of this ...she was 3...or maybe she's just repeating what she was told either way it's so sad 😞
Your brain treats trauma one way or another at a young age, either you completely shut off, disassociate and then bury it in your subconscious, or due to physical pain, close proximity to your abuser, etc. You are constantly reminded of it and it never gets to your subsconcious. Either way, those memories are stored forever, trauma just doesn't go away. Even infants can experience PTSD and have memories and flashbacks about trauma, and they will react differently to infants who have not experienced any. For example, studies have shown a baby who suffers neglect will learn not to cry for attention, because they remember that their cries were never listened to. They absolutely have memories.
When she said she lived there... in the bottom of a fricken sewage pit... I couldn't image the feeling the couple had when they found a little girl 😭💔
Hearing Diane saying “WE’VE GOT HER BACK WOOOOO” (clapping) made me cry
What an inspiration that Lori Poland is!!!! She has turned her tragedy into an incredible as well as aggressive campaign in stoping the ongoing further exploitation of children as well as increasing awareness of the physical and sexual abuse that children suffer from every day!!!! Keep kicking ass Lori Poland as your dedication is an inspiration to all but especially the poor victims of childhood abuse and trauma!!!
Wow, she is an amazing person!
Just the idea of being 3 years old, suddenly snatched away from safeness, your parents, your complete understanding of the world and then its suddenly brutally destroyed. It is so utterly painful to think about. These poor innocent babies who have yet any grasp on the world or any capacity to protect themselves. There's no end to the intense horrifying pain humans can inflict on one another.
Thank you for covering lesser known cases... not the same ones that every other true crime channel is doing
I feel so much for that child. Man how worried the parents must’ve been. I can’t imagine either of their views in this. I’m happy Lori has been able to heal and find some peace, if even a little. I wish her the absolute best and a life long and full of so much love and happiness.
Wow how disturbing what this woman had to go through at the age of three just makes me sick. So happy that she survived and she is a hero to do what she's doing now to help others is amazing❤
That cry of lori and the dad saying 'I swear to God it'll never happen to you again.' 💔 broke my heart really.
As a survivor of abuse myself, justice is more so for the "victim" than for the witnesses. I have no idea where that woman got her crazy idea! I would have been very grateful to have had justice for the abuse I was put through! It would have helped with my cPTSD!
My heart broke every minute watching this as I nearly got abducted not long ago.. I’m actually glad he chose me to be his victim that night but not to any other girl because I knew what to do
That must’ve been so traumatic, I hope you’re okay, may I ask for tips? I’m a girl myself who’s scared to even be in my own home at night because of this
Aw. I don't know how Lori is so positive and uplifting. She has amazing strength and kindness in her soul.
She is to be admired by the way she did not give into the torture and pain her tiny little body went through in those horrific days.
Some angel up above had to send that couple to that exact spot in time to save her.
I cannot be as forgiving for the past childhood that I had. Which makes me admire others who have been violated by monsters and have the ability to forgive their actions.
God bless you. From Ireland 🇮🇪
i got goosebumps 😰we are the same age and the fact that she remembers so well says something...when you hurt a child it will stay with them forever 😢 this guy deserves ...i wont say it here. Lori my love, you beat the monster ❤
That poor baby. 😢 I am almost in tears, thinking about what Lori went through.
I can't believe I've never heard this story! And she is a really great person!
What always infuriates me about these kind of cases is the they get a reduced sentence for something horrible on GOOD BEHAVIOUR. Like, people like this don't deserved to be released on anything. Just cause they were good in the cell doesn't mean they'll be good in the public.
What an unbelievable story from beginning to end. She should be so proud of herself and how good her heart is ❤
Never heard of this, this video really touched me, it was beautifully done guys , as Unseen videos are always done, but this one was special. But Waww.... What a girl, makes you put things into perspective. If this wee 3yr old could survive this and turn out as strong as she is now a woman , we could all be doing with a bit of Lori in us . A true worrior, and survivor! ✌️💜💜💜
Ima TC stan but the details in this live horror movie shook me to the core! When the first thing he did b4 snatching her was remove her pants revealed his true depravity. Broad daylight, full of witnesses, yet he couldn’t even wait til she was in his van. That’s gotta be one of the scariest facts I’ve ever heard!
Wow. This is so inspiring, thank you for telling the event from the perspective of the victim.
The strength Lori has is unimaginable... I'm praying for her and all victims, you are loved!! Love ❤️
I was abused from the time I was 6 months old (1971) by my dad. At 3 years of age he poured hot coffee down my backside causing a 3rd degree burn. I still have that scar to this very day. When I was 6 years old (1977), hed shaken me so hard that for 2 hours I couldn't even hold my head up from the "looking up" position. Every time I tried my head would hurt so bad I could barely open my eyes. I don't remember what it was I'd done to make him so mad that he'd do that. When I was in 1st grade the 1st time I was also abused by my 1st grade teacher which was the result of having to repeat my 1st grade year over, but I was with a different teacher in a second 1st grade class. I remember coming home and taking my little Beagle, Misty, out into the woods with me for a walk as I always did. We'd had severe thunderstorm warnings heading our way. Dad found Misty and I in the woods and swatted me with a whistle strap from where he'd found us clear to the house 100 yards away. I had marks from my lower back to my ankles. I went to school the next day only able to wear a sundress. I hurt so bad I couldn't even set down. The school called CPS. He told them we were in for a severe thunderstorm and that he'd warned me that if he caught me he'd whip me so hard I wouldn't set down for a week. They dropped the case. And I couldn't set down for a week. His shaking me not long before that as hard as he did caused ne a life time of problems with my memory in comprehension and shirt term memory. By the time I was 5 years old my math skills were advanced. I could add, subtract, multiply, divide and do fractions. Ever since the shaking, my memory with basic math I can no longer do any of it by memory, I either have to write it down to work it out or use a calculator. I can remember important dates, years, even events, but that's it. If one thing was out of place and not where it belonged after I was playing with any toy, reading a book, or coloring in my coloring books I'd get the belt. When I'd gotten shaken, Shaken Baby Syndrome wasn't even an abusive concept until the 1980s. I was diagnosed with SBS when I was in the 3rd grade. Because of that I was placed in Learning Disability classes from my 3rd grade year clear up to my graduating year in 1991. I would have graduated in 1990 but I was 1 credit short so I went back and earned that high school diploma. I may have grown up as an abused child (physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically. Never sexually) I had one miscarriage (my only son) but 4 daughters in 1993, 1995, 1998 & 2000. I made it my choice to never do to any of my daughters what was done to me most all of my life. They may have a mentally messed up mom but they are happy, independent, loving, outspoken, respectful and well mannered young women. They will tell you what they think, give their opinion and straight up be straight forward with you. I can say I raised them right.
It's not just about justice, it's about keeping a disgusting dangerous Predator from doing this again!! He should never have been released!
The fact that his mother said I am not sure what I did " or what happened to him or when it happened" makes me think she actually knew exactly what experience switched his brain
I'll never understand how someone can be sexually attracted to a freaking kid, let alone 3 y old. These kind of people needs to be punished in the worst way possible
See that's one thing I don't get about the cycles of abuse. If someone knows what it's like to have their innocence stolen from them at such a young age wouldn't they do everything they can so no one else has to experience the same? They know how horrible it is so how do they reconcile putting that horror on another child?
Woah, woah, wait. This monster had a WIFE who held his hand through the trial & provided him with a false alibi committing perjury for him, knowing what he did?! That is beyond disturbing.
I remember when this happened .. I live in indiana and i remember hearing this on our news then heard she was found alive .. I bawled my eyes out … God Bless you Ms Lori …
Deine Videos sind wirklich sehr gut, verständlich, auf den Punkt gebracht und gut recherchiert mit originalen Bildelementen und insgesamt in einer allgemeinen runden Darstellung wiedergegeben...kurz, bündig, wissenswert und informativ und interessant gemacht. Sehr gute Arbeit 👍✌️
What a brave girl she was .. this made me cry so much 😥
Another excellent retelling of a shocking true crime story Unseen 👏👏👏👏
That's nice she wants to understand him and isn't worried about justice. That's fine for her and whatever she needs to do to heal. However it's not ok for everyone else. Justice isn't just about punishment it's about protecting society from violent dangerous monsters like this. There's no amount of healing he can do to convince me he's safe being out on the streets.
He can heal on his own time sitting in prison. I am more worried about any other child suffering the way she did. Why is she more concerned about these sickos than their victims and potential future victims?
Wow.... What a woman... What a kid!!! Can't imagine the terror. I was abused as a kid but it didn't want me to abuse back... I know what it feels like so could never inflict that pain on another person
God bless you Lori ❤ So many heroes that helped.
When justice fails, it should be legal for the community to serve the proper justice applicable to the crime.
He's still out here somewhere!? Wtf! We need him off the streets! Or at least know where he is at!
