- The parents of an autistic woman who died and was essentially ‘melted’ to a couch have bonded out of jail and have been indicted on second degree murder charges. The woman was found in such decrepit conditions, a coroner who responded to the scene reportedly couldn’t eat for a week. An investigative reporter in Baton Rogue, LA lays out the disturbing details he’s uncovered since he broke the story and also explains what is next.

If a coroner says he can’t eat for a week because of this you know that this is bad
i knoww😯😢
I bet that poor guy also has recurring nightmares after witnessing that horrific scene! And he probably has a young daughter too, which would make things even more heartbreaking! 😥 I actually knew a guy in Arizona who was a coroner, and made a living for years collecting bodies and taking them to the city morgue ..... but he told me that one of THE most gruesome crime scenes that he ever experienced was so traumatic, he couldn't sleep for days because he was up all night crying, while thinking about the poor victim's family and what they must have been going through at the time! Amazingly, he was still able to continue on with his work, despite being practically haunted by things he experienced just from doing his job!
Love your name
Yes
Right!
I don't know how this isn't 1st degree. They walked past her for years and never helped her. This is so much worse than 2nd degree murder. This is torture and evil
Second degree is an automatic life sentence in Louisiana, first degree is the possibility of a death sentence.
Absolutely!!!
They had 60000 in cash, that is why they aren't facing the death penalty. Trust me, poor people would be executed. In a way its worse because they could afford to take care of her.

HOW DARE YOU SHE IS A WOMAN
Mine too lol
People like this SHOULD NOT EVER receive bond.
welcome to america justice system. they love letting crminials go
Receiving bond was the result of our BROKEN COURT SYSTEM with questionable people inside the system.
I think it’s horrifying that any judge would even allow a bond for any amount.
Rebecca ain't that the truth we living in a dark and crazy time
money money money monnnaaaayyy......
Dude they have to💀 It’s in the bill of rights you cannot give unreasonable bonds
@@dayze4049 the can remand (no bond) depending on the charges.
@@zazabawabenlewi6673 its like the judg didn't care
The fact that they lived in the house with a rotting dead body in their living room, and went on with their lives normally is literally insane. Just imagine the smell. How could they ever get used to that?
Saddest thing is that she was still alive for a very long time just sitting there with open wounds and starving.
Honestly it's so hard to process that for me as well
How can you walk past a person wasting away, day after day, and just ignore it. It’s so frightening
@@TheKnallkorper its just a shell.
I agree. I don't buy they got used to it. They are mentally ill and/or insane, and/or just plain rotten and disgusting people. Something is deeply wrong with this entire situation.
Not only is this murder, it’s torture. That young woman not only lost her life but suffered unimaginably for OVER A DECADE. Open, maggot infested wounds…probably infected and inflamed due to being on that feces and urine-soaked couch. Starved so badly that she was eating that same disgusting couch because there was nothing else. Beyond the horrific physical pain, what must she have felt mentally and emotionally? All those years of doing NOTHING besides rotting away in her own waste. No mental stimulation beyond staring at whatever was in front of her. Watching her parents walking by, living their lives, leaving the house without her. She died helpless and alone while her parents were away. Off on a little weekend trip while their own child was dying alone at home. Death was a mercy in this case. Rest In Peace Lacey, finally free. Even if these monsters get life in prison, they’ll still be a million times more comfortable. They’ll get 3 meals a day, showers and a toilet to use, fresh air and time outside, interaction with other people and activities to keep them occupied, a bed that isn’t soaked in feces and urine and medical attention if they get injured or sick. Their daughter was innocent yet she was deprived of all of that. These people are pure evil
You said it all… sounds like you are the prosecuting attorney… this was just ridiculous… I’m sorry the poor lady went thru this
@@jcook251Death was a mercy, undoubtedly. This case is absolute devastation and further cements that hope in humanity is naive. How many times a year do these kinds of stories pop up? How many go unnoticed by the billions worldwide? How many have you and I, for example, not come across and likely never will? How many human-on-human atrocities have occurred over the entire course of human history thus far, down to a T? The inexplicable agony that woman must have endured..I don’t understand why she had to suffer, why anyone has to suffer. This fucking universe, man…
Wauw , youre ar so right about this
Thank you 💚
Let's not forget that her parents are "good Christians", always up in the church! My father used to say that you'd find some of the biggest hypocrites in a church. The older I've become, the more truth I've found in his words. This case is a perfect example.
God's judgment will be forever. Fear GOD
The judge needs to be fired for allowing bond. This is outrageous!
Oh believe me they know everybody up there in slaughter and one of them had a brother that was a cop up there.
@janalogsdon, this is terrible! So heartbreaking 💔 I hope she gets justice.
Judges are out of touch with reality.
Money talks, unfortunately
Yes
I cannot understand how any judge thought bail was a reasonable request. Feeding, bathing, caring for your child was a reasonable expect. The Legal system is so useless , it’s disgusting.
WORD 🙌🏽 How did these ‘maggots’ get out of jail? Smh 🤬
Take it up with the constitution, people are innocent until proven guilty and have the right to fair bail. Bail is not an absolute right and in cases where the public may be at risk bail can be withheld, but for the most part people have the right to recieve fair bail when charged with a crime. It's just how the system works.
These people are terrible and I think they should be imprisoned for life for what they've done, its tantamount to murder... But they have only been charged, not convicted and rushing ahead to punishing them before they've been convicted won't undo what horrific suffering has already been done. I know it's frustrating but it's a necessary, vital part of the system that shouldn't be side stepped in favor of immediate vengeance.
I highly doubt the people will be able to pay for bail so honestly I hope they stay in prison like idk that’s disgusting like they obviously aren’t stupid and they should have known that she was dying like they simply didn’t care and were happy to take her disability checks like idk maybe the parents are autistic as well but probably not since the mom seemed to live a somewhat pretty normal life and i say that because of her job but I think those people definitely knew what they were doing and I’m wondering why the daughter had wounds on her legs like did the parents cut up her legs or was that because of the bugs? Like I honestly wonder but it’s so sad what happened to that girl she deserved so much better. ❤️💔😔
Money pays for everything even a life
@@Luna-mx7fi they paid it. They are out and on the street!
They literally tortured that young woman. Imagine laying in that 24/7, day and night, wondering when it would end or if anyone would come and save her. Horrific.
With open wounds to the BONE......ME BEING A NURSE PEOPLE SCREAM WITH WOUNDS TO BARELY THE MUSCLE OMG.
God and to think theyre out of jail? they should be in jail still!!!
😭 that poor woman
Well she was autistic, wouldn't surprise me if her parents broke her legs and kept her there until she died out of malicious spite. bad parents exist all over, but living in a house with an open latrine it's just eh... the parents weren't so sane themselves.
i dont understand and maybe i'm ignorant here, but what does her being autistic have to do with anything? Like I didn't know autistic people couldn't move? I'm confused.
I’ve worked and lived with disabled individuals. How this abuse persisted for more than a decade is astonishing. Many people failed this woman. Rip
MANY people sadly. May God bless the ones who tried though. ✝️🙏❤️
That poor baby, I’m so sorry you suffered here and am sure you are in Paradise. My heart breaks for you knowing the fear , the pain and the look your parents would give you as you lay there in pain
The sentence they got for this is too little for the suffering they put their daughter through. No person should ever go through such a horrible and inhumane thing.
May she rest in peace.
😭😭
The fact that cases like these exist, just proves that real life is worse than nightmare. This is truly hell on earth. I have no words. RIP.
Life is so sad anymore isn’t it!?
How many more people are out there abusing their family members. I bet there are hundreds trapped somewhere not to mention missing people who might be held captive or dead in someone's home.
I hate that I’m alive.
Only USA is like that and they are forcing those ' american values' on rest of the world
@@Alvarez1998 ???
We gotta start investigating more houses with the disabilities. Like there should be a law to check on them once in a while, making sure they’re ok. This is vile and sickening.
Exactly this breaks my heart
yes as a criminology student i know a lot of deaths could be prevented if we properly checked on vulnerable people so children, mentally and physically disabled people, those will mental illnesses, substance users, etc. even if we cared a bit more as neighbours. i know when my neighbours either side get their groceries so if they don’t do it one week i notice, or i can hear the day their grandkids come round so i would know if they didn’t visit one time. just small stuff like that. just basic human decency really but it is so important
1000000% this should be a law.
@Kasan you are so right
Yes!!!! I've been saying this for years!! One would never know by looking at the parents and the nice house. I have sooo many questions. This is insanity!
💔😢 This poor girl! She is no longer suffering. I hope karma comes for the parents big time.
She was beautiful, no human being should pass away this way sick or not. Those monsters they've got what's coming to them. Rest in Peace
what her looks gotta do withit?
thats a good damn question @Moodboard39
As the mother of a murdered child, it makes me just sick to hear her ask for time to grieve. She does not get time to grieve, she is the murderer. How DARE she say that we who have lost children know how she feels. My daughter was taken by someone else's hands, not by mine! She's vile and so is he!!What is wrong with people!?!?
You don't have to be the mother of a murdered child to know what they did to that girl was beyond twisted.
This sounds like something out of a horror movie. Who does this to anyone,
@@annettagross4687 It truly does, it's sickening. 😔💕
Sorry for your loss ❤
@@brutalhonesty6742I understand that, It just specifically infuriated me and struck a chord when through their lawyer, she asked to be left alone by the press when they were bonded out because, "they needed to grieve the loss of their daughter," and that, "any parent who has had to bury a child knows what they are going through." That they should be respected at this time.
RESPECTED?!?!
I can't even.

Don't call them people, they're the worst of demons. That poor child. This tragedy should be exposed all over the world, this is so disgraceful, totally unbelievably how they would do this to anyone let alone their own daughter. Let's all pray for this poor child's soul; may she have the love, joy and comfort she never had in her lifetime.
People afraid of "hell" or "apocalypse", WE ARE LIVING ALL THAT 5H1T 24/7 HERE IN EARTH, just do your best to be better...
"Open wounds to the bone from the feet to the buttox." Imagine that. Not only was she starving, alone, and heartbroken, but she was also in constant agonizing pain. What kind of parent does something like this to their child.. Theirs absolutely zero excuse for this to have gone this far. Intent, intent, intent. The parents don't deserve life in prison, give them the death penalty!
How does a parent justify or rationalize this to themselves? Where is the disconnect in their minds? I cannot even comprehend this. It makes my heart ache.
@@robinholland1574 I keep asking myself that same question. They went about their normal lives, business as usual, knowing full well that their daughter was literally "melting" into the couch. They legitimately tortured that poor girl to the maximum extent one can imagine and now they're out on bond? I have so many questions.
Not the death penalty. They deserve to be in solitary confinement, in a dark, empty cell until the end of their lives. They should never see another human being for the rest of their pitiful lives.
Yes, death by a thousand cuts. Literally.
Prison isn’t enough, neither is the death penalty. Only torture, these people deserve to be tortured. For years and years. Only then, should they live the rest of their lives in prison or be given the death penalty.
As a parent with a son with autism, I am extremely angry at these monsters. How could you do this to your child who needed you and you were supposed to protect.…R.I.P Lacy
AMEN... I HAVE A SON WITH ASD AND WHEN I READ ABOUT THIS YOUNG LADY YESTERDAY AM, I JUST CRIED... LACY DIDNT DESERVE THAT ALL. HER SMILE WILL STAY PRINTED IN MY MEMORY TIED TO THE HORROR OF HER UNFORTUNATE, PREMATURE DEPARTURE... I AM SO SORRY LACY... SO SO SORRY, SMH 😭😩💔🙏... WOW...
It's the satanic way
As is my son, and Lacey used to talk, attended school, was into sports, so to force her at that time around age 26, she must have been tied or drugged to remain on the sofa. Let's face it--they kept her with them to get her SSI check.
@@marilynwillett804 They're murderers.
@@marilynwillett804 I'm mad. I'm taking a new stance against evil.

Technology has ruined us
Thats a scary society. Isolated society, sick society.
Why were they even allowed to bond out? This is beyond sickening and they both should rot in prison.
I really like how honest are these journalists. these people were beyond evil.
Real journalism.

They could have put her in a nursing home if they knew they wasn’t going to take care of her. This is sickening
Nursing homes can cost hundreds of dollars a day and state aid often won’t cover all of it. Obviously that’s not an excuse, but it’s also not a great solution here.
Because they were probably collecting a check for her and would have lost that had she gone into a facility.
Then they wouldn't get her disability check. They're all crooks including the fucking evil ass judge that gave them bill. Who let someone out on bail that allowed their own child to drown in her sewage for 12 years?
They wanted the mo ey that is why they didnt put her in a nursing hime. They wouldn't receive the money smfh sick priveledged people
They enjoyed it. Demons!
Question here, my first time encountering this story: how did the daughter become bed/couch bound? She's described as healthy, outgoing, and athletic, at one point . . .how did that change so drastically?
i wanna know that too
Ya was she tied up? Drugged? Crazy 😢
Maybe a brain injury ? I'm just guessing
I heard from a true crime channel that covered her story that she had developed some type of dissociative symptom as a result of her autism. She was essentially paralyzed
@@lonelywhale1030Autism cannot in any way lead to Dissociation unless the claim is that allistics are entitled to induce such horrific existence upon autistics?
Maybe it is a general "autistics deserve torture and murder for breathing" social notion that had kept any prosecution from charging the killers when juries unanimously blame blame the autistic breather?
I don't see any update these were prosecuted.
We don't even treat dogs or animals in this way.
ever heard of factory farming?
Unbelievable!!!! I had an older cousin when I was younger who was autistic. He was about 46yrs old at the time and his mother kept him immaculate! He was always clean smelled good, skin beautiful, pressed clothes and shined shoes. She made sure he carried a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and he was extremely polite. I cannot even imagine the horror they inflicted on this poor young woman. They should be severely punished!
This is what shame does to people. Can be horrific or beautiful.
Your aunt sounds AWESOME!
❤️💕🙏🏾
Damn rite they should
I gave the 666th like.
They obviously didn't live a normal life. This is horrific
They made their daughter die in possibly the worst prolonged painful death in human history. Think about that…
The skin rotting to the point of melting like that while still alive would be horrifically painful and it’s cruel that an infection didn’t put her out of her misery earlier on in the process. This might just be the most disgusting and disturbing thing I’ve ever seen and HER PARENTS did it to her.
But they’re in church every Sunday, in Louisiana that makes it ok.
@@LotsofLisa I know many people like that
@@LudiCrust. It sounds like she was placed on the couch then just left to starve, she was eating piece's of the sofa and stool they probably set her there then went upon their lives, how much longer would she have been in that couch, they sure weren't going to notify anyone
@@LotsofLisa if you’re white & have ‘good standing’ in the church you can get excused for any behavior in some of those Southern towns
As a dad, this breaks my heart.
As a responsible adult? I want to take those "parents" into my home and show them the love and care they so, rightly deserve.
The smell 😮
I know right I have the same name as her but never went through anything like this. I wonder how she felt and how they reacted. I have autism was abused but I am not disabled. This is horrible.
How can those monsters be out on bail?!?! Strap each one to a sofa facing each other in a dungeon, close the door, and leave them to watch each other starve to death.
What I don’t understand is how the parents become so detached from reality that they call emergency services without realising that other people will find the situation unacceptable.
That's what I never understand. How do you think you AREN'T going to prison
@@zuglymonster literally…
@@zuglymonster Well, in the end they didn't. Just had to pay some money to gain their freedom.
@@Ruzzky_Bly4t I think that's the most disgusting thing of all
Abusers dgaf
I don’t understand how a 36 year old woman can just be forgotten about. The report says she used to be very vocal and play sports back in school so she used to have a normal life but not a single friend or family member question where or what happened to her after seemingly disappearing for years. It’s not like she is a child being hidden from the world she was a grown adult and everyone around her failed her and turned a blind eye.
Was she a paraplegic or something?
It's not as difficult as it might seem. With autism she would be entitled to attend school until age 21. If she didn't have any peers who lived nearby or made the effort to keep her in their circle of friends after graduation, she could slip through the cracks. Like they go to college or whatever and move on in life, and fall out of touch with her. Or maybe she did many "normal" school activities but didn't socialize with schoolmates outside of school. Lots of possibilities. If this was going on for 12 years, she would have been about 24 when it started. Another video said something about her having or developing some kind of anxiety disorder where she was afraid to go outside? And/or some kind of paralysis where only the eyes can move? (But how would they know that? I need to rewatch the other video, facts are scrambled.) A lot of psychoses or whatever the term is manifest in one's early 20's. So maybe she became afraid to go outside right around the time her peers were breaking ties and forming new ones, or maybe someone tried to invite her somewhere and she said no, and they stopped trying. That's all a stretch, and only a theory about how her peers could lose touch with her.
EDIT: Someone elsewhere in comments said she had some sort of muscle paralysis and couldn't walk.
As for family, or friends of her parents, I agree totally. But her parents may have come up with excuses for that scenario as well.
"Oh, she doesn't really like going out anymore."
"Oh, she's not feeling well today/night."
As unbelievable as it seems, if they were the types to always go elsewhere and not have people come to the home to visit, she could go many years without seeing relatives or friends. Maybe relatives asked after her and were told lies by the parents and believed the lies in an effort not to be intrusive and/or respect what they were told were Lacey's wishes about socializing.
However it happened that she was forgotten about, these "parents" deserve to be duct taped to a sofa, and maybe fed or given a drink of water whenever someone thinks of it, maybe once a week or so.
It can easily happen. 🥺😢
I also can't understand how her parents were given bond in the first place. Pitiful.
It's sad that if it isn't a child the authorities don't care.
Poor girl 😔 She’s resting in heaven now 🙏🏻
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Obviously the parents took the daughters social security checks and didn't spend a single cent on her. They should be prosecuted for fraud as well as murder.
She looked like a bright happy girl in her old pictures. I seriously hate these people for what they did to their daughter. She would’ve had a better chance in an orphanage or even on the street. THEY DONT DESERVE BOND. who can watch their child mentally/ physically waste away? who could possibly do this to an innocent disabled person? I don’t care how hard it is. As the mom of a disabled girl, I can’t stop my tears for Lacey every time I hear more disturbing details.Rest in Peace Lacey Ellen Fletcher. You did not deserve this life or this death. You were beautiful & special. I’m so sorry your parents took your life away
WHITE PEOPLE!
I had a disable. Sister she was my favorite sibling rip she died it hurt. Me so much my daughter has her name and my granddaughter has her name
Do you see how nice that house looks???
It's the satanic way.
I agree 100%! These are nasty, poor excuse for what a human should be…
It feels weird to call these people “parents.” Parents would never do this. This is horrifying. She was EATING the couch😢 poor, poor Lacey.
Plenty of parents do these sorts of things. That's why CPS type organisations exist.
Bruh this is nothing compared to this case but in my complex a little boy around 2 was walking down the street by himself and when we found his house and brought him back, the dad acted like he barely noticed and didn’t care. There are are lot of people out here who aren’t meant to be parents but are.
Definitely ain't parents. Hmm.. dogshit? Dogshit stinks, is horrible and no one wants to touch them..
@@miahjay that’s awful. I meant REAL parents would never do this. I don’t consider people who intentionally hurt/neglect their kids to be parents.
@@miahjay As bad as that is, that baby is still alive. They sat right next to her!! Lived for YEARS in the house with her WATCHING her die!!!!
We need to abolish bonds. People like this cannot see the light of day and need to rot in jail until they die
So she was literally on the couch for a decade? Literally never leaving the couch for over ten years?
How can a a parent sleep at night knowing that there child is literally dying in front of there eyes. They deserve the worst punishment imaginable.
They deserve to starve. Alone. In the dark. Without any sounds or light. Actually, second-thought. Maybe film it for those who want to see how that plays out/happens/develops. Water alone, and one lives for only just so long.
This is how I feel about Eugenia cooneys mom. I just dont get it
Sick MF's
@@mizzysparrots4874 Just learning about Eugenia Cooney, thank you for the mention. A channel called "anna oop" had two good videos in regards to her. Abusive childhoods and addictions are tough, and it really does take wanting help to get help. The mom does seems very neglectful and enabling.
What happened to Lacey Fletcher just might be the most horrific thing I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot. I'm familiar w/ a case near to where I live to where a couple tormented someone for almost two years, but it wasn't their daughter. For these people to just act like their daughter's an inconvenience to the point to where the parents are neglecting her hygiene to the point to where she's rotting away for years, not even in town when she died, and then went to church and acted like they weren't monsters and probably acted and even saw themselves as decent people, that really hits home and is a lot to take in. Very much impossible to reconcile in any proper or productive way. Just a lot to take in.
They should meet the same fate than their daughter.
They kept her disability checks all those years and could've paid someone to take care of her. These people are evil monsters. So nasty and disgusting your own child already struggling and you treat her like this. These people have lost their mind.
They probably could have had a caregiver for no cost at all.
Exactly !! 😡😡
I'm here they could have paid meeeee! I took care of both my bed ridden grandparents and 2 aunt's. I hateee bad treatment of humans so much. This made my soul cry 😭
They could had her in a program or health ins. Could have paid for a caregiver. No excuses here! I'm shocked parents are out on bail!
Like they said it was intentional murder 2 they could have done soo much but let her poor soul rot
It's like letting the devil out of jail, why and who the hell would want these demons out of jail, JUSTICE FOR THE POOR GIRL WHO HAD NO LIFE😔💔
Out on bond ? Seriously....put them on a sofa and let them endure her agony. This is beyond evil.
This so horrible she died slowly and excruciating in the hands of the people who’s supposedly going take care of her. I can even see this as premeditated murder for the fact that they're well aware of her disability and her poor condition yet they still just watch while she rots, when there’s hundred ways to try and save her. The helplessness and hopelessness she must’ve felt thinking no one cared. I'm utterly disgusted by her parents. RIP to the poor woman
poor girl. In Jesus hands now! May God take his vengeance upon them!
definitely premeditation definitely!!!

Chances are that the parents never saw her as their daughter, but a thing they needed to keep barely alive. It breaks your heart knowing that parents like these exist in the world when there are so many people who only wish to have the opportunity to raise and love a child of their own.
You took the words right out of my mouth , I think this is the worst case I have ever heard
@@vinland6168 if they didn’t , I don’t understand why they didn’t put her in a home or something, that would have been better :/ maybe that costs I guess .
This happened when she was 36 the parents missed 12 years off her life.
I also have a lot of questions about this story. I feel like we are missing information about how she went from being on a volleyball team and being verbal, to being incapacitated on a couch. People with autism don't typically regress that severely at an older age. Were they drugging her or something??
Yeah I feel like nothing is adding up the story feels all over the place incomplete I mean it sounded like she had a lot of friends and very studious how old was she when they first neglected her on the couch and wouldn’t her friends anyone in the community wonder about her???
She didn’t sound like she had autism and I am not that educated in this topic but I’ve never heard of children or adults regressing this badly for having autism…
I have a feeling they punished her for some relatively minor thing and went too far and then when they realized she was badly injured instead of taking her to the hospital they decided to let her die, hoping people would think they just found her dead. I hope they both get life sentences! This is beyond sick even if they were afraid of the consequences. Letting her die after hurting her carries a worse sentence than whatever they did to her in the first place to incapacitate her, so they would have been better off just coming clean right away and admitting what they did before it got to this point.
@@sofiabravo1994 exactly! I wondered that too if anyone came looking for her it asking about her. I have been working with people with autism for many years and regression just doesn't happen like that.
@@IAMGiftbearer it's very possible they injured her. How you sit there and look at her and smell all that every day for years?? Absolutely insane. And they got bond. Smh
I was wondering that too, there must have been something that caused her to immobile. Perhaps an injury and than neglect that led to absences. I would think the coroner would have an idea.
That poor girl 😢my heart breaks for her. May she rest in peace finally. So sad
Murder 😢
I broke down and cried the other day because I had to go conduct choir rehearsal and my two year old was struggling with the stomach bug. I had just given her some nausea meds and she was her regular happy self, but I literally had to call my hubby and be on the phone the whole way there because I felt so guilty. I can't imagine anyone doing this to a child they raised. It's just mind boggling and disgusting. They don't ever need to be released. This poor woman suffered unimaginably at the hands of her parents. That is the worst thing ever.
This is disgusting,hope they rot in prison just like they did to their child.
You what is so bad....they will get three meals a day, a clean place to sleep, and a roof over their head!!!!! Only Justice would be a firing squad!!!!!!!
No they need the Electric Chair 😂
The punishment should be the same as the crime. Bring them both to me and I'll deal with them for 12yrs. It would be my pleasure
@@jackiehumphery374 I WOULD PULL THE SWITCH.
@@beverlys.peacockmccranie6522 you're right about the meal part but there are many convicts that don't get down with the abuse of children especially special needs.They will get theirs,this isn't going to be a picnic for them.
It's absolutely disgusting they were even allowed to bond out. Absolutely disgusting.
meanwhile I heard of people getting l;ocked up for weed and get no bond at all...
it's all about how the "criminals" look like.
if they look like someone the judge can relate to as family member they're more likely to get bond.
This just proves how the crime doesnt matter to this disgusting justice system
@@PutsOnSneakers I literally got stopped with 9 percs and had to sit down 120+ for a bond it’s addicts who won’t see the outside of the jail for years waiting for bond hearings and I jus asked u mean to tell me that addiction is worse than murdering your child 🤦🏾♀️
@@PutsOnSneakers White Privilege... must be nice.
Yep they bond out and my son got in a scuffle with a Sheriff because he is mentally ill, they tazed him 4 times and now he sits in jail with no bail and these damn evil no good for nothing kill their own child and are out living life. Wow 😳
THAT PART!!
😢🕯️🕊️🙏
May She Rest In Peace.
JUSTICE. God Bless 💗🙌
I will never understand this level of neglect and cruelty. If they couldn’t cut it, they should have found a new home for her and allowed someone else to love and care for her. Instead they’re smiling in pictures and taking vacations. 😡
They murdered they’re daughter and is out on bail? How in the Hell is this judge allowing murderers to be out on jail! They tortured her for 12 years and this judge shows compassion by giving them bail? Unforgivable!
Its the liberal way.
@@captainpearly3994 it's the white privilege way
@@captainpearly3994 it’s called due process asshole. They haven’t been convicted of anything. Until you’re convicted you are entitled to bail and fight your case from the outside.

Just adds insult to injury. I can't comprehend letting them out if I were the judge.
Even though the poor woman died, I'm glad that she isn't suffering such a poor traumatic life anymore because I could not imagine the amount of care and help someone would need after being found living like this. ❤❤❤
Some things really are worse than death. I don't understand why they are out on bail. Pure evil!
@@Silversmoke1000 true anyone like this should not be allowed to walk free on public streets and even though I'm British it's all the same over here, governments have gone to pure crap bring back the old laws and I say the world will slowly change.
This is worse than death though she rotted away for 12 years and was being eaten alive by huge magots and other bugs and soaked in urine and feces smh
@Amy Alvarado
They should be given the longest harshest sentence. And charges with murder & abuse. All because the girl had autism did not give the parents the right to not only watch her suffer b4 dying slowly & paingully. They then left her to rot.
Hope karma comes fast & harsh
@@xxfyrezgamerxx6279 .
There needs to be death sentence for things like this. IF there are truly evil people - this is it.

Smh
@C Chi I agree!
U know this world is all about money 🙄
So agree they shouldn’t have gotten bail can u even imagine the mom works in the prosecutor’s office such n evil mom n dad
The fact that these people are allowed out for any amount of money, is mind-blowing.
Their daughter spent a decade dying an excruciating death .
Lord have mercy
Doesent matter they’re not a flight risk. We all have unfathomable hatred for them but we have to do things the right way.
Where they got that much money? $600,000
@@user-gv3kk4ts9b they only have to pay 10% of it
@@chittalkstudio
Where I live, you gotta pay the full bail. They don't do that bail bondsman crap in New Hampshire.
Honestly, I've done two stints in prison and I have massive PTSD from it. But I'd be happy to go back in if you put me and Mrs. SuburbianPsycho in a cell together. The majority of my friends are neurodivergent. I have ADHD and some developmental delay, but one of my closest friends has moderate autism. Worse autism than anyone else I know, but it's not like you can't befriend him, he's just a bit frustrating at times. But really if he didn't have the parents he had, he likely would still be non-verbal.
It's all about money. Screw if someone needs justice, if you have the money, you can be free. It's bullshit**
This story is heartbreaking. Seeing the pictures of that daughter when she was younger and healthier is just shattering - they kept her, a disabled and unwell person, a prisoner in the couch. And those parents were going to church every weekend?!
My heart breaks for Lacey. 💔 I have a daughter her age and I can't even comprehend doing anything like that. My mind can't even go there.
RIP Lacey †🌹†
Absolutely crazy how anyone can just live normally with someone rotting away on the couch, especially their own child. I can't even imagine the smell. This isn't just evil, this is downright maniacal and psychotic.
Perfectly said
I'm sure they were collecting a check.
I really feel like they also need psych evaluations...to be able to live with that happening literally under your nose is NOT sane. It's not just evil and wrong, it's CRAZY.
@@scarytime6420 I hate when people try to blame God for the sick stuff people do. Everyone has a chance to do anything and everything they want. What these parents did is pure evil. Demonic. Keep doing wrong and it gets easier and easier.

The pain she had to be in, makes me cry and sick and angry, rip sweetheart.
The pain she was in had to be beyond anything….I’m shocked. Thank goodness she’s no longer suffering.
10 years of pain... and just alive enough to feel it but cant do anything. worst crime case ive ever heard of.
Honestly feel like this myself
@@neirinjoseph6817 Really?? You feel like this girl did? Are you stuck on the couch rotting in your own feces and urine, unable to move while maggots eat your flesh down to the bone? Please elaborate on how you "honestly feel like this" yourself... /smh
Just imagine, so much pain and she could not say it. Much less no one cared about her suffering.

Mine too, wot a disgrace 😤
I WON'T EAT FOR A WEEK!! WISH I HAD NOT LISTEN 🤢😷
This is truly heart breaking but at least she's not suffering anymore... so, as terrible as it sounds, I guess there's one positive aspect to this story.
Don't worry she is out on bale and I'm sure she has a good lawyer. If not we could start a go fund me.
@@actionjackson6943 bro you're not funny
Something like that, NOBODY should be allowed to bond out.
My God such a beautiful young woman. I wonder how much pain she went through my heart is crying. May she be resting in peace.
This is why I roll my eyes when someone says, "But they were good church-going people." Who GAF? Sitting in a pew doesn't make anyone a good person. I've known too many "church-going " people who were horrible individuals (too many stories to recount here). There are kind, loving Christians who are good people out there but these two aren't.
Very true . Only what's In your heart matters
In my opinion as soon as I hear you’re religious it automatically means you’re a bad person. You hate gay people and trans people, u think animals are literally on this earth to serve you, you think there’s an invisible man in the sky, you want to take away women’s rights, you worship the Bible which has incest, rape , molestation , murder, sexism, animal abuse- and so many other things… It makes sense why religious person would do this honestly. Religion is the curse of this world
👏🏾
I have a cousin that is a "good church-going person" but she constantly gossips and makes fun of people and laughs at others, basically acts nice as a front but doesn't have the genuine sincerity of being nice. She reminds me a lot of Regina George.
Rev. Norbert F. Orsolits was a "church going person" I would say and he admitted to molesting a bunch of people. So yea I get you on when people say that. Like wtf that literally means nothing to anything.
I think this is the most disturbing story I've ever heard. This is truly disgusting and heartbreaking. I can't believe how there are people that could do something like that to someone, to their daughter!!!
They were collecting her disability checks and letting her suffer
If they didn't want her why don't just give her over to the state. Even the government would treat the girl better than the parents
@@tanyasmith4521 oh no wonder
Just watched that Florida Sherriff guy give TWO conferences on indicting parents for STARVING their infants to 💀.... and now this
EVIL DEVILS
Ever since I heard about this, I cannot stop thinking about it. It shakes me to my core that someone could do this to their helpless child. 😢😰😱
They do it every day in nursing homes around the country to the disabled and elderly- some get away with it more than others by bad staffing and poor leadership...
THEY NEED TO BE PUT UNDER THE PRISON IN THE SAME WAY FOR THE REMAINING OF THEIR SELFISH PATHETIC POOR EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING LIVES!! HOW HORRIBLE AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO HAVE CHILDREN!! LETTING THEM OUT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE BECAUSE NOW THEY'RE A FLIGHT OR SUICIDE RISKS WAY TO GO STATE LAWS!!!!🤬😢💔
This one of THE worse cases of neglect I’ve ever heard. Incredibly sad, sad situation. I hope the parents are held fully accountable.
Clearly they wont be. They out on bond after watching this murder for a decade
@@trillvinci-raazul-negasi1115 clearly
They were released on 300k bond each. Pleaded not guilty. Trial is set for 2023. They claim their daughter refused to leave the couch, and they would feed her and use towels to clean up the messes. They also claim that she never saw a doctor because she was never sick.
When she was found, she had been tested and it came back that she had Covid and bacterial infections. Her body had deep sores. To be clear, they needed to get her help after she refused(so they say) to leave the couch. They needed to get her help when she got so incredibly filthy. They needed to get her help when she had wounds so bad that you could see bone. So much more wrong with her that needed medical attention. They had over a decade to do this. There is no way they could beat this charge.
No way.
Wait, you’re telling me this is the worst case of neglect that these dudes have seen, AND it’s “one of THE worse cases of neglect” you’ve ever heard as well??? Wowwwwww crazy

This is just so fucked up. Beyond fucked up. To let your own child rot away in feces and maggots, eating away at her gaping wounds while she was still alive. God, how evil. I am beyond disturbed that the parents were let go on bond. They should both be rotting in a cell for the rest of their life.
I can't imagine how this is even possible---it's unbelievable. How were these people even granted bail? It's just beyond belief.
Because they are white
This story is just that, a story. It's another fake news report from the CIA to distract us from what is really going on, such as the take down of the Nazis in SE Ukraine, which was the European HUB of child trafficking, adrenochrome production, and other sick crimes.

@@Trevorjennings679 dude this isn’t a dating website, you’ve been commenting on all the woman’s comments asking them how they are doing, quit being weird my guy
as an autistic adult, this made me cry. i struggle enough with stress and feeling like a burden because i cant drive or live alone, i cant imagine the pain and distress of being nonverbal and unabled to move and then being left to rot like that. it sounds torturous. im afraid we may never know just how bad the whole story is because the victim of it is dead, but i wonder if her 'regression' had something to do with how her parents could have been treating her long before they left her on the couch..... since they were clearly awful "parents".
Too right love, I have several mental illnesses and am very vunerable and also very in physical pain and live alone, I love Jesus and these monsters make a mockery of G of and people who love all G odd people, b kind to each other guys and help each other!
you are not a burden! You have purpose and are here for a reason💕
I am a mother to a daughter with autism, you have NEVER been and will NEVER be a burden. It is an honor and privilege to care for those you love. I feel blessed everyday that I was chosen to be her mom and Im sure your family feels the same way about you. Be proud of all parts of you!
If you get up, eat and drink, use the bathroom. That's already good enough to avoid the cesspool problem here. And if you couldn't do either it might be more humane to find a shelter to drop off at, after a certain point of being unable to move or do basic things letting go would be more humane, don't think she had the will to live or was physically abused by the parents without working legs.
I am autistic too and feel the same way. I’m thinking the parents could have been drugging her as well.
My prayers go out to the daughter... this is just sickening
Absolutely horrific. That poor girl. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔
This girl truly suffered, she probably cried out in pain every day and her parents just ignored her. I have NEVER in my life heard of a person being alive/conscious yet not moving for 10 years. This would mean they fed her minimally just enough to stay alive for that amount of time....meaning they had to walk right up to her and see exactly how bad of a condition she was in. These people are sadistic
And satanic
I'm sickend by this
How the F do these people find eachother?! Lacey I am so sorry. You should have been protected. No more pain.
They are of their father, the devil.
Well she did move her hands/arms bc she ate the couch.. but she wasn’t able to move her lower half?
My brain can’t even begin to comprehend this! How? How could anybody do this to a human much less your own child? No,I just can’t understand it.
Yes it’s so sad. Passing by her everyday for 15 years? Not feeding her, leaving her in the same place and to suffer in her own bodily fluids? A child you made from the both of you, You neglect and torture and you’re living your life as if things are right and well? It’s so sad. Your day has come!
There are really fked up people around here.
@@texasgradeandmade5929 Doesn't really matter now or actually did matter at all. But it was an estimated 12 years of neglect and the neighbor said they last visited their home 15 years ago.
Yes, there are many, many, many “humans” ( for the lack of a better word) who would/could and maybe doing it right now. As we all speak here, there are unimaginable offenses being inflicted on the vulnerable, the weak and helpless, between the ages of birth and death.
Every single human being has the potential to commit atrocities including me and you
Never should have gotten out on bail. They should both be chained to a sofa and just left there.

Those demons enjoyed watching her die that's pure torture
And you know it smelled horrible.

Because they are sadistic so they enjoyed her in that state. Obviously they did, else she'd not have been in that condition would she!
