I believe Steve was a little hard on this Mother yes she shouldn't have left that hair straightener unattended if the son was crawling around but Steve was very one-sided. My heart goes out to the mother and baby and I hope they learn from this mistake.
I agree! And then at the end he tries to give unwarranted advice instead of apologizing because he was clearly being biased against her.
Agree completely. Being a single mom is difficult and sorry, but Mr "my nephew this, my nephew that" if he cared so much, he'd be helping out. Steve had 0 clue what it's like to be a single parent and it's a non stop job. Your life becomes secondary but even so, everyone needs a break and mistakes and accidents do happen. Especially when your exhausted! The brothers just moral grandstanding and trying to look good. He looks grokey af as well as inbred. Sorry not sorry 🤷
Not one sided, she was surfing the net, not keeping the 24/7 watch on her toddler that is called neglect. If that would happen to your child on somebody’s watch you wouldn’t be happy nor your toddler. All the best to you and your family. Cheers from Australia.
@@Jewlii123 No, she was on the phone, with a toddler, where he could reach the hair straightener, that"s neglect.That"s what it means 24/7 watch.
@@Jewlii123 agree as well im a first time mom. My daughter is attached to my HIP everywhere I go she goes. Just as her situation my daughter always follows me into the bathroom and im getting ready for work so I under how hard it is to make sure they don’t get hurt while getting ready for sum important like a job or interview, school etc .
Im so glad she passed! Accidents do happen but parents be vigilant. I pray her baby heals and many blessings ✝️
I get that the brother was concerned but Steve berating her on how she needs to keep her eyes on the baby 24/7 was just baffling. I turn around to grab a diaper from 3 feet away and my kid is already in a different position and moving away from me.
And the fact it's literally impossible to keep your eyes on your kid 24/7 especially if you're a single parent.
Right, I think he could have been a lot more empathetic here. Sometimes I wonder if he’s just been desensitized to these stories.
Exactly what I said. He picks and chooses who he feels like yelling at. It has nothing to do with the actual situation. I'm getting to the point that I'm going to stop watching this show. It's getting sickening.
There's a difference between your kid moving around the house and falling over, and then your kid getting burnt because you were careless and had a plugged in iron within the kid's reach.
You should have asked your brother to watch your baby for a second while you did your hair
There’s something very off about him. She’s no saint but him…no.
Right!
I think somethin is off about her too just watching the first few mins
I think he is probably the son of Lurch on the Adams Family
@@Jordan23DOGfather yeah something seemed off about her like she was kinda smirking at some points
Not a doctor, but he seems to be Neurodivergent (Which could explain why he would seem "off").
My thing is he talks about how caring she was until she had kids.... lets be honest, when you distance yourself from family its for a reason, I distanced myself from ALL of my family, and they talk exactly like this about me.. any little bump or bruise or any type of attitude my kids get they automatically assume im a monster. She probably distanced herself from family for a reason. I did. I yelled at my 1st daughter like she was an adult and i broke down and to this day i still feel like a bad mom... but thats as much as ive done.. i dont even whoop my girls. Not saying im a saint by any means... but family is the most judgmental people youll ever have to deal with..
I'm good with out mine 💯 I don't talk to any of those mf soon as I left i never went back never will family sux
Shame on them. I have 2 sons. I never really had that problem. And my oldest has 4 kids. I helped him with 3 of them and then my youngest has 3 kids but I do not tell them how to raise their kids. I do tell my youngest son that b days are not Christian lol. He over spoils. But my oldest sons kids are adults and he has 2 grandbabies. Yes I'm old. But you raise your babies how you want. As long as they are not abused do not worry about others
Steve really annoyed tf outta me this episode. 🙄🙄 His slick ass comments get under my skin sometimes.
You can tell from the beginning that she didn't do it. Was she negligent, of course. But I'm sure she blames herself more than anyone else could.
rightttt. i feel soo bad for her for even being treated this way from him nd her own family. you could tell she really didnt mean to have that incident happen and im just sitting here watching these men say these thing like "damn now what he hell is this guy mf docter phill jr?" 💀
@@Scoobydoothepoo riiiiight! You can tell that he thought she did it just by his line of questioning and condescending verbiage. He was hella shocked when she passed. Talking about "why are you crying? What's got you so upset? "
I would have been like 🗣️ You BITCH!! 🤣🤣🤣
I thought I was the only one 😒😒
Agreed! Clearly she didn’t want it to happen, accidents happen. Single moms are never given any leniency or help. Honestly I consider it everyone in the house’s fault. That child is family to all of them.
@@liz3169 and for her brother to accuse her so harshly and then try to hug her? I would have booped him right on the top of his head.
When Steve asked her "IF you fail" and Amanda kept responding, "I'm not gonna fail", that really had me fooled. I really thought she was gonna fail.
I think she’s still guilty,all those super delights
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 i think you mean duping delights lol
@@kanyebreast6072 yes lol.Typos
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 happens to the best of us
She has fail, neglect is a form of abuse. Neglect. Look up in dictionery.
I knew she was telling the truth. I don’t think people understand how hard it is to be a mother. I have a 7 month old that likes to do this bouncing thing when she’s on her stomach. If she bounces too hard, she hits her chin on the ground. I’m so worried she’s gonna hurt herself. I’ll have to take her to the hospital, and the hospital staff accuses me on abusing her. The thought of having my child taken from me is a phobia for me. I almost died trying to get pregnant and my baby girl is my rainbow baby. She’s my everything💕 it’s scary that it could be taken away so easily because someone THINKS you’re doing something.
Okay, but again, a one in a million shot at the iron landing that way. So they ignore the next time and the kid dies because it's really being abused? Hospitals and family think for the best of the child, especially in a situation where it literally would never happen again on accident or to anyone else on accident. It wasn't like they accused her of sexual assault or punching the baby in the face, ect. This WAS a reason to highly queation it. It's exciting she was innocent, but let's not downplay the real reality of how this exact play out looked.
Most of us have had small kids, we all know how negligent it is to keep an iron plugged in with a baby that can easily grab it.
I apologise I thought she was guilty how wrong was I.
I get you, I know how you feel but leaving a curling iron on with a toddler around is already abuse. Your leaving your home dangerous for your kid. It's like you'd leave broken glass on the floor when you know your 7 month old girl bounces around
@@jazminkovacs4544 even if you have something like that high up the kids mimic what you do and is going to try and get it and end up hurting themselves
It happens fast period. It happens with young women and older women and I’m so sick of people jumping to abuse, everything is abuse. She already proved that she was NOT distracted. She wasn’t on her phone.
Exactly it's also sad she asked someone to help her and they didn't even do that
The thing is right, I’d rather accuse someone of abuse and be wrong about it than see things that could be abuse than just ignore it and hope that my friend/family members aren’t evil enough to abuse a child and be wrong and they are abusing the child
And before anyone says “just ask the parent what happened” 😂 right like they’re going to tell the truth and if you ask the kid they could be to scared to say anything
So my point is if u see something and it gives you bad vibes you should take action to find out the truth whether u got to call the police or cps because at the end of the day you got to protect the child
@@Skyk0409 The problem with you being wrong is that it hurts the child and the bond.
She’s trying to convince someone who probably never used a straightener and a bald man how a straightener can fall directly on someone’s arm lol. A straightener falling straight down happens so often! As soon as the brother said that wasn’t possible I totally believed her.
I use flat irons and a hot comb and I still don’t leave my stuff unattended and I have a 5 year old and ab2 year old
@@aphrikadease5197 well I’m really glad you’ve never been in this situation.
@@aphrikadease5197cool wanna cookie, not everyone is perfect like you
@@AestheticSounds4u32 trust if they were perfect like they want to be, they wouldnt be online judging people.
@@aphrikadease5197it wasn't unattended she was right there
Haven’t finished the episode yet BUT I don’t understand why CPS or whoever said her daughter couldn’t go home with her but the burnt son could???? That makes no sense. If the son was abused, why keep the daughter away while the case is ongoing but leave the son with her still?
CPS does a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense
This is what I was thinking too. It doesn't make sense at all!
9/10 cps aren't doing their job right, and this was one of them
@@makaylataylor9745 agreed!
@@monicacampbell6505 Hell no it didn’t lol.
I really wish they stopped her brother from forcing that hug on her
Yeah, that was really weird.
Y?? It's her fucking brother lol get real ya feminist
He should have respected that she wasn't receptive to it.
That hug… 💀
This is why, if you have a pool, they tell you NEVER say "someone watch the kids" or assume that someone is watching. You make sure a specific person acknowledges that it's their responsibility. And even then things can happen.
Not even just with a pool tho.. like in every situation there shouldn’t always be communication about who is watching the kids
Ok but like... him forcing her to hug him wasn't ok. She didn't want to be touched, and he didn't respect that. That's just rude.
I know right. I would have been swinging lol.
The only amount of a pass I'll give him is that they're siblings. If she hit him, he'd just accept it. It's not like a partner or friendship relationship. They've been doing this since they were in diapers, likely.
The dude knows he f*cked up and blamed her for some awful things she didn't do. I think he genuinely thought he lost his sister after this. He's hurting too.
It was confirmed that he was trying to Rape her on stage.
i HATE when ppl do that idc who it is just give them space!!
This is one of many episodes where I feel like Steve and everybody else should have given that girl a sincere apology for beating her down on that stage. At the end of the day I love Steve but Steve is only a talk show host not a counselor. His professional opinion isn't always correct.
The Brother with his "super cool" bowl cut running his mouth and Steve standing there smirking, blasting dumb questions, and talking down to her turned my stomach. Typical men who flap their jaws and don't know a thing about actually raising a kid because if he did he wouldn't have asked half those questions. She proved herself sure, but she had to be traumatized from being treated so terribly. She don't have to see Steve again but I would NEVER speak to my brother again after that ambush, which I suspect the show instigated him into because she didn't know he thought that and he clearly wasn't real swift. Kids have accidents but I guarantee you that Steve himself wasn't the super parent he demands that everyone else be. Him & his wife both work so they weren't even full time Parents and there's nothing wrong with that until you go picking on a single Mother for not being up to your standards.
Yeah! Typical men!! Darn them 😂
This 💯!! He acts like he knows it all and comes off as an idiot. He's got kids. Sure...but he has never been a single parent and I honestly don't think he could cope as one. As for the brother, looks inbred af, but more importantly its obvious he did this to be on TV and to look good SMH. Makes me sick
She was on the phone, that"s intentionally. She is neglectful mother.
I am actually shocked by how focused Steve seems to be on blasting this poor woman for a PROVEN ACCIDENT! Normally he has a little more empathy but on this one he made it his mission to vilify her regardless of her innocence smh not impressed
@user-zx5kq6hs9d really? Because a accident happens means it's intentional? I dropped my 1st kid when I was changing her diaper. Scared me half to death.. does that make me a bad mom? No.. I took her to the er did everything I needed to do. Accidents happen.
This a common accident that could happen to anyone with a mobile child
Never happened to mine. Sorry its actually the opposite. More people actually watch their kids. You are apart of the population who kids have "Accidents" all the time. Some people kids go through and never being hurt to this degree.
This happened to my little cousin when she was almost a year old. There were two adults on both couches and she still burned herself with supervision around. It happened so fast we didn’t even know she was burned at first. Accidents happen at any time.
Happy to see an uncle care💜👏🏾
An*
@@dverarde84 I think she mean an uncle as in for uncles in general. There are some uncles that probably don’t care.
Him forcing a hug.. nope 👎
Can’t force no women to hug a man jus like this fool did . That wouldn’t even a good thing to do
Brother had a right to blame her. She looked really guilty considering the evidence. He was only doing what was best for his nephew and you could tell he felt really bad when the results came back
What evidence?! She didn’t look guilty to me!!!! Wtf
I agree. Her fake sadness and tears. The changing story. I completely understand why they'd think that. Also, is something else going on that would make people worry that it was purposeful?
him getting mad at her for getting mad at her brother for not watching him is wild. if she asked ALL of the adults in the room to watch the baby you would expect the nearest adult to be responsible and say "yea I'll watch the baby" especially if the parent have to use the bathroom or get themselves ready for the day after getting the baby ready for the day. you know she's a single mom you know she needed help why wasn't you helping her when she needed it the most???. if anything its both their faults for the accident happening her not being careful and him not watching the baby.
im glad she passed the test, im glad she didn't do it on purpose i hope she gets more help with her son.
Yep the mother will always get blamed.
I honestly didn’t think she did this as I’m 5 mins in to listening her talk to Steve I do believe it was a freak accident 😢 and it’s terrible honestly but things like this happen so fast . Just gotta be more prepared and cautious 😢 - haven’t heard the results yet
A freak accident is the roof falling in and injuring the child. Negligence is knowing you have a hot iron plugged in and leaving it turned on and plugged in where a baby can easily gain access to it. The mother did not mean to harm the child. But she needs to learn from her actions or else they will keep happening.
Even when she passed Steve still was getting on her about this. It’s a horrible thing that happened and I feel so sorry for that baby boy but Jesus Steve! Do you know how hard it is to be a single mother? I don’t. But I can’t imagine it’s easy. And for her to still take the time to get ready is amazing considering most women sink into a horrible depression. Yes she should have paid more attention and yes she shouldn’t have allowed the baby to be in a position where he can pull down hot irons on himself but this happened within a second. She turned and witnessed it and probably ran as fast as she could. No one is perfect and no one ever will be. Having some sympathy for a woman who was being accused by everyone around her that she tortured her own son isn’t a crime!
1. Steve probably had a nanny for his kids.
2. I think he decides who he thinks is guilty despite passing results.
@@kikitcat5 Nanny or not, Its your responsibility to hire good nanny, not the one thats neglectful. They cost money, they all have cams now, even in kindergartens.
My half brother had something similar happen as a toddler, his mom and her daughter were in a focused conversation while their mom was straightening her hair, my brother yanked on the cord, it came out of her hand and clamped onto his upper arm, I cannot remember what degree of burn it was but it is a permanent scar that's quite puffy to this day and it's been 10-12 years, I do not know if it was intentional but his mother as always been somewhat neglectful and airheaded so watching this story hit close to home. Remember folks, kids like to grab stuff and pull; pay attention to them
We do pay attention, but accidents still happen!
@Dan Verarde I wasn't saying she had to be a robot nor do I think any little failure makes someone neglectful, I *know* her and she was notoriously bad for not paying attention since my brother was more well behaved than her previous daughter; she was an alcoholic and wasn't neglectful enough for us to raise a court case after my dad's death she pickled her brain with alcohol for like 4 months straight and left my 7 year old brother to get himself ready for school, walk 4 blocks to school and he of course had no lunch, we got a call and that's when everyone else started to realize it isn't just minor things. I was being genuine; injuries happen, I'm accident prone and I have gotten hurt often despite my mother's best efforts. I am sorry if I made you think I believed parents had to be perfect to be good enough, my brothers mother isn't the worst mother in world but she isn't a great mother either. You can think I'm being too hard on her based off of a rough description of if you want but believe me(or dont), my calling her neglectful isn't like a incident here or there. Have a nice rest of the day, truly
@Mindymaria that's true, I don't think it's all or nothing to make a good parent, I am genuinely reminding parents because some don't know or forget that kids will 1000% pull on cables if left to their devices. Mistakes are necessary and bound to happen, parents are humans and humans screw up, like a lot; I gave a single example of my brothers mother who did a lot of other things for me to feel so negatively about her but my main anger is her not being a good parent. I lived part time with them and it was NOT a healthy household, regardless of length of time there I witnessed and experienced some messed up behaviour from her and I used to hold a lot of dislike for her daughter but I realized as I grew that a lot of it stemmed from her mother. Hope you have an amazing rest of the day! I genuinely mean it, I hope your day is well
@@dverarde84 yeah I mean it was IN HER HAND-like what more could she have done?
I do appreciate how far the uncle was willing to go for his nephew. Too many families let shit slide and just act passive aggressively.
Ew get him off her she obviously didn’t want him touching her where tf was security
When someone doesn’t want to be touched that is there damn right STEVE! You don’t force them into it
one thing…all parents can get overwhelmed. regardless of age. raising a child is challenging.
I know it looked terrible, and it’s good to figure out what happened then to ignore it.
However, the brother jumping to “she’s not a good mother” because the mother stepped away for a few seconds (news flash, she has to do stuff too) it’s appalling. And yes, she may not have asked him for help, but if everyone loves that boy as much as they all say, YOU OFFER to help and watch the boy you love so much. It takes a village and he’s shoving it all on this young lady.
Also the “give me a hug” and the force…weird.
Accidents happen so quickly, it’s impossible to avoid some of them unless we strap the kids down 24/7. They will crawl & pull things, fall over, climb & lose their balance. It’s unfortunate but I feel so sorry for this mom.
Steve was dead wrong for treating her like that!!!!
Steve always acting like his the perfect parent like he never made mistakes
It's appalling that s grown man can be under the same roof with his single mother sister and not help her and then blame her for an accident. She wasn't blaming him. She was stating the obvious. He's acting so concerned but couldn't help?
Ew the way he forced her into a hug made me feel gross 🤢
Stop being sensitive he was trying to apologize there family it would only be gross if they didn’t know each other
@@Austin_acord Nah it's still grossed to be forced into something when you're that adamantly denying it
u reaching pretty hard
@@JayySwizZzle so was he
I knew from the beginning Of this story that she didn’t intentionally burn her baby. My 2 year old nephew tried to grab my curling iron off of the sink with me in the same room as him, I caught it, but small children are curious and does things like this, even in the same room as you.
I be honest I thought she was gonna fail for a second there but when I herd she passed that shows she's a vey good mother to her child but to me this was definitely an accident but Steves right when he said that she needs to be a little more aware of her Childs safety.
1 minute in: I wonder what experiences he’s had with her that would lead him to assume she did it on purpose because who tf makes their first assumption that the mom is abvusive instead of recognizing that kids pull shit off the counters all the time.
2 minutes in: it sounds like he might be gaslighting her to get attention because he probably resents her in one way or another and needs to be seen as a victim so he vilifies her any way that he can.
3 minutes in: he’s bitching about how she changed because she has kids and stopped paying attention to him, yet he’s simultaneously saying that it’s because she stopped taking responsibility. No, she just stopped taking care of you and started focusing on her kids. He’s just a jealous infant.
Imagine saying someone is a bad mom because she went to the bathroom 💀 y’all don’t ever procreate plz.
Dude would've got more of a few smacks than just getting shoved around if he tries forcing a hug on someone
I watch Steve all the time. And this is one episode that really upset me with him.
This whole episode is ridiculous she asked for help got none and her son got hurt it's not just her fault every adult in that house was responsible honestly. And for the brother to force her to hug him like that and they just let it happen like TF
She opened her legs. Her kids her responsibility. Clearly she is unfit to care for a child if she living with her mom. Can't afford to have her own place. Sounds like a house where everybody still lives with mom with no real responsibility. It's her fault. How you trying to blame anyone other than her. Her fault. Blaming someone cause she was more attentive to her hair than her child I'd stupid.
@@nanasmom1987 I'm sorry but your comment saying "she's an unfit mother because she lives with her mother" is stupid. People do fall on hard times and live with their relatives, friends, siblings, or PARENTS for a little while until they can get on their feet. Your comment was just ignorant.
@@nanasmom1987 Now I do agree that she should of been paying more attention to her child, especially if the child is still crawling and grabbing things without realizing that whatever he/she is grabbing could hurt him/her.
@@nanasmom1987 you probably work for CPS and want to take everyone's kids away.
Also, people would give her shit if she went to work and left the kid with a sitter. Can't win in this world...
The way that her Brother acted was terrible and then to see him grab her Like that made my Blood 🩸 Boil
Actions speak louder than words !
Steve is being a dick on this one. I imagine she feels awful this even happened and she has to answer to a stranger and her own brother. As a single mom I really feel for her.
The no tears cry and then at the end pulls a straight face hahaha
Knew she couldn't fail when they read the questions on the test... if she failed then that meant she was on her phone and burned him at the same time. Lol "hold on this damn baby keeps crying, (snap with the flat iron) ok sorry I'm back what's up!"
i shouldn't be laughing at this 💀
Where can I watch the new episode in full? I’ve checked Nosey but they only upload older videos, I don’t have cable, is that the only way to watch them in full?
wowzers that is one crazy looking burn.
Yes it is a parent’s responsibility to care and protect their kid(s). But as family, we also have that responsibility to care for and protects our nieces/nephews, grandkids, and cousins. If you KNOW your family member is getting dressed/needs help, you can offer. It’s so incredibly helpful to the parent. Sometimes it takes a village.
Yup if they were so concerned, why not help the sister out?
It’s actually sad. This was a accident and when your a single mother everything is twice is hard. She’s tried and while yes it was a irresponsible moment, people do irresponsible things when they have no help. She clearly doesn’t not even family.
I immediately could tell that she didn’t do this on purpose. But you can also tell that she was overwhelmed just by being accused, especially all on national tv.
Not once did I feel like she was blaming her brother like Steve said, and he was quite out of line for that. She said I asked for help. And apparently mothers aren’t allowed to do that nowadays. She Steve wouldn’t know that because he has a 2 parent household. A accident could’ve happened while she was shitting, or taking a shower. Just as easy as when she was getting dressed and when everyone in your house chooses not to help you then yes you are overwhelmed and tired and may skip up more times than she’ll chose to admit.
Exactly, single mothers are held to a higher standard and looked down on for the same type of things that are brushed off as accidental and "normal childhood experiences" for others. It's ridiculous and beyond comprehension to me. I've lived both roles. Married mama and single mama and there is a level of disdain for single mothers in society that baffles me to no end. Not all single mothers are overwhelmed, neglectful or negligent and not all 2 parent households have it together and are perfect. I respect any and all mamas busting butt and giving their all for their kiddos. I hope this mama gets the support and help she deserves for her and her baby and I hope her brother kicks rocks for being such a judgmental pos.
She was blaming him though. That he should have had the baby. He should have watched him. Na
I actually got burned by my mom's curling iron as a toddler, wasn't as bad as this poor boy but it hurt of course and left a permanent scar on my hand. Mom's do get overwhelmed and accidents do happen, she wasn't single but she was taking care of me and my baby sister along with two teenagers and a preteen.
I am really upset at Steve. It was a freak accident. They are bashing her for getting ready and not watching her child! Is she not suppose to ever change her clothes??? Is she not ever suppose to shower??? Accidents happen!!! This poor mother. She shouldn’t have to ask her brother if he could watch his nephew for 5 mins. He should be more than willing to get off his butt and help!! If I am at my brother and sister in laws house and they are busy I do not hesitate to watch my niece. Her brother is a POS.
Mothers get blamed constantly in my observations watching this show.
This is a good man and wonderful BROTHER, his SISTER should realise that her BROTHER cares and she should be happy to have a BROTHER like this
Do not be ANGRY, young lady, your BROTHER, is a very, very, good man that cares for you and his family, Niece and Nephew, count your blessings, you are indeed BLESS
I hope the baby is ok!! That looked like a really bad burn!!
Please everyone- accidents like this can happen anytime- but as parents we need to prevent injuries from happening!
Please never leave anything hot unattended! Whether hot hair tools or food cooking/hot pots & pans on/in stove, any kind of heating register, vent, space heater etc that gets hot- NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE ON/HOT- OR LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNSUPERVISED NEAR ANYTHING DANGEROUS OR NOT BABY-PROOFED!
Outlets, appliances, power tools , weapons, etc
I feel bad for Adam and Amanda, their relationship is over. Adam brought Amanda on the show and told the world that she is a bad mother, pointed his finger at her, and called her a liar. I do understand his concern but, their relationship will never be the same after this. Adam seemed disappointed that she passed. Amanda does need to be more careful with the kids also. Adam just needs to give Amanda her space. He can’t expect her to just forgive him so quickly.
I hope Steve reads these comments because I hate how he always comes down hard on people and automatically deems them guilty. Her brother was talking so much shit but she was actually right. Her brother literally could’ve watched her son if he was so concerned.
That hug was mad aggressive bruh
I knew she was telling the truth. And Steve couldn’t see it. He wanted her to be guilty so bad. 🙄
I think he actually doesn't read the results before because if he thinks someone is guilty, that is enough for him.
The way Amanda was talking to Adam made me believe that she would be guilty boy was I wrong
That brother is a piece of crap . Why did they let him touch her ? It was so so creepy . It's like forcing a reconciliation . And I am so disappointed and angry at Steve for shaming the mother for being exhausted. But Steve won't understand because he can never feel what a mother feels . Shame on Steve on this episode.
This is a very good concerned BROTHER, his SISTER, is lucky, to have a family member like this, I personally, will not be ANGRY
I knew she was telling the truth. I have a burn scar on my wrist from when I was a baby, I was on floor crawling and I pulled the cord down and the clothes iron fell down and hit my wrist. Its completely possible
Man, moms gotta think of everything. It’s literally so easy to forget something. The irons hot, there’s a cord hanging, you’re rushing to get ready. I have a 10 month and let me tell you they can get into mischief. It’s just so sad that the first conclusion is she did it on purpose. I once put my baby in her car seat on my bed, and I absentmindedly got distracted, and walked away before strapping her in. She fell out onto the floor. It was god awful. I took her to the emergency room immediately, and luckily she was ok. Accidents happen. Sometimes they are terrible. It’s so hard being a mom with no help.
I know it’s hard but she needs to forgive him. Her kids don’t have fathers and he clearly cares about his niece and nephew!
its fine that he cares, the problem is he instantly blames her and makes her feel and look like a shitty mom.. she should forgive him, but at the same time, HE made her out to be a monster and make her seem like she did that shit on purpose. She needs to be more aware, help her, teach her, dont demonize her and make her out to be a monster on live tv!
They were abused as kids now you are pointing at the one person who gets your exact situation. Forgiving him would be hard too
@@nessabeane8162 I agree that he messed up! Big time! I’m just saying her kids don’t have fathers looking out for them and putting their best interest above all else so it’s a blessing to have a male figure who is willing to do that.
@@nessabeane8162 yup look at the people reacting here! People will judge her forever, even though she passed.
Oof that force hug. Pretty sure she wanted to swing.
I hurt myself so many times and had to go to the hospital just playing with my siblings and cousins but it doesn’t mean my mom was negligent she was a single mom doing her best she couldn’t watch our every move we get into anything
Kids are lucky to have this uncle. Even if she told the truth, but he still lookout for those kids❤
A "few minutes" is few minutes Steve...Three minutes is a few, why waste time asking that? And then had the audacity to ask ever so snidely, "Why are you upset?". Boyyyyy, that dude vexes my spirit with his condescending ways🤨
2:10 scared the Hell out of me.
I love how parents say "I don't even whoop my child" like that's something to applaud. It's the same as saying "I don't even physically abuse my child!" 🤦♂️
Sometimes spanking is justified and what's best for the kid. Although at age 10 months and 2 years maybe it's too young
They are usually the ones who do spank them, the ones who gotta say I don't beat my kids.
@LordBattleSmurf hitting your kid is never okay. Ever. It doesn't teach respect. It teaches fear. That fear then leads to trauma & resentment later in life. Even if you think it didn't affect your relationship with your kids, I guarantee it did. I have 3 kids. 3 boys. They've never been spanked and I've never threatened it either. They're wonderful, respectful and happy kids who have the occasional attitude issue and make some bad choices. Which we talk about after and remove the things they're privileged to have like tech and games, etc. Never physically assaulting them. They're more afraid of letting us down than they are of us hurting them. Because we've never given them a reason to fear us.
I knew she was telling the truth. Steve I don’t like how you continued to berate her after it was determined that she was telling the truth.
Something like that would have ME crying in agony and I'm a big grown ass man. This is a young infant child we're talking about here FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
What kind of crap is this,investigate,asap!
Investigate what? Are you dumb?
It's your kid lady, that's why. It's not his responsibility to take care of your child.
Where was security when she was trying to push him off of her????
it was definitely negligent to leave the kid alone for even a second near the curling iron, but i can definitely also understand that she was upset cause she had asked people in the house to watch him while she got ready and they didn't. and kids move fast and stuff can go wrong fast if you look away for five seconds. a freak accident and a horrible mistake, but thank god it wasn't malicious and that the baby is okay.
I was brought up that family stand together and help each other. He sold his sister out to get on telly.
I understand her pain, been a single parent is not easy at all. I feel you. You cannot watch the kids 24/7, there are other things to do as well.
Her stupid brother acting asif a mom isn't even aloud to make herself look decent, and Steve with his idiotic comments, this one really pissed me off
I personally find it curious that the flat iron fell exactly ON the arm, but I don’t know enough about such things to, based on that, accuse someone of burning a child on purpose!
I would try to find out more about this though!
I cannot believe the way these two grown men bullied and blamed a poor mother who they have no business judging just because her child was burned. This was a terribly traumatic thing for her and the child. She suffered very strict consequences from the social services. These two walking egos kept banging on about the way the appliance landed - but it could so easily have landed like that. Why can't Steve stop making a fool of himself with his bias and premature judgements. Even worse was the woman's awful brother. Please never speak to him again. With family like that who needs enemies.
Dear steve, as you might not be straightening your hair, i just want to let you know that we get burns while styling our hair too. I have once burnt my fingers.
Though she shouldnt have left it there unattended with a baby around, it does not look intentional at all. She is a single mom and the schedule gets overwhelming. Its accident
big momma threw him around like a piece of paper 🤣🤣
OMG 11:30 I cannot BELIEVE Steve is still blaming this woman and making sexist, nasty assumptions about her. She did nothing wrong. Accidents happen. Like when you got in your car 5 times over the legal alcohol limit STEVE and drove down a busy road quite ready to mow down any small children that happened to be around and flipped your car upside down. Do you have the excuse of being' young and overwhelmed Steve?, or are you just selfish and reckless?! Did your family attack you or were they supportive? God hates a hypocrite. All she did was turn her back for one second. Come onnn... She's traumatised enough without you emotionally abusing her because YOU WERE WRONG.
I really don't like this. A single mother with her kids all day and she's the bad guy for wanting to find time to have self care and asking everyone in the house for just a little help? And everyone berates her? Absolutely not.
Do not forget without these people who coming on your show you would be nothing so humble yourself.
Damn she can't get dressed idk if she's abusive but he seems like he wants a childless sister
Okay but the burn I can kinda expect it from a flattner I've burned myself before multiple times with some nasty blisters after, and the was way Steve was like you need to be a better mother kinda made me upset she had every right to cry her kids got taken away her family blamed her, she asked for help from that person and they didn't help her and this is sad and I hope she has a better life now with her kids
My personal experience, my kids have grabbed and pulled down my straightener as tiny kids... they've gotten burned, but it NEVER looked like that. EVER. Not saying she did it to her son on purpose, but something isn't right
And yes it came down on then with the clamp being open. I've even done it to myself, mine gets over 400°, and never did any burns look like that.
Did you watch? She didn’t do it. Accidents happen. Some accidents are worst than others. Just because they weren’t burned the exact same way your children were doesn’t mean anything. It’s simple.
@@MajorJim69 I made my comment before watching, but it still feels off. She wasn't paying close enough attention, she didn't secure child care, just because people heard what she said doesn't mean they agreed to watch baby. Accidents happen all the time, I get that. And I never said she did anything on purpose, but she was slightly negligent. Not saying she was purposely negligent but still she didn't make sure someone would be responsible for watching baby.
@@leahsantini No one said she wasn’t neglectful. However, she asked presumably a family member or friend to watch the baby. She can’t help that they didn’t watch him. But yes, she should’ve watched her surroundings.
Could have been someone else
@@summerrose3142 I started to think that!!
Brother is not responsible for you son, dear. YOU are!
A straightener needs to be plugged into the wall, on the end, and when it falls will end up straight down when there’s no more cord slack, crazyyy
When My son was about 8 mos old and still crawling, I plugged an iron in and set it up on the floor. I didn't want to put it on the ironing board because I thought he could pull on the cord and it would fall on him. I didn't realize the iron was already on high setting and my son crawled over to it and got a small burn on his hand between his index and middle fingers. It was almost 2nd degree but it only took 30 seconds for him to crawl from one end of the living room to where the iron was in the other end of the living room for him to touch it and get burned. 🥺 Babies/toddlers crawling can move fast as hell and before you know it, kids can get hurt. I 100% believe this was not the mom's fault. I felt horrible when that happened to my baby boy!! I kept it wrapped up with gauze and burn ointment and even cut a little thumb hole in one of his socks to cover it further. He still has a small scar but I'm so glad I acted quickly and got him first aid care as quickly as I did.
AS a single mother myself, I understand not always having your eye one your child 24/7, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. But in my opinion, I 'd make sure someone was watching my son before I even left a room with him unattended, I'd leave if I had verbal confirmation from someone to watch my son.. I can get up one moment to get him a pull up and he'll be climbing the couch and almost fall off, he'll try to pull my tv off my tv stand ( not every time he's near it, thankfully) Children are very unpredictable. I understand where Steve was coming from with his police background of so many years, but I also understand Amanda's side too. I cannot tell people how many times my son gets himself hurt, cries about it, then he's back to playing 2 minutes later. Of course I don't have a curling rod or flat iron going for him to grab, but I have made some mistakes as a mother myself and sympathize with Amanda and her situation.
"I'm curious why are you so upset" I DUNNO STEVE MAYBE ITS CAUSE EVERYONE WAS GANGING UP ON HER
I’m sorry, but Steve annoyed the hell outta me. It was as if he wanted her to fail. Young women, older women, whether they’re single or not, gets overwhelmed. Motherhood isn’t easy, PERIOD. He could’ve shown way more compassion for her.
Whoever she asked to watch the child so she could get ready is the one that really fell short and failed both the mom and the child.
I need to know where Adam gets his hair did. That's a sweet look.
