I'm a retired police officer for over thirty years and I've seen filth but, my God, that hit me different. That trapped, weak baby suffered being eaten by bacteria reserved for corpses. RIP Benjamin
I worked in the northern Manitoba nursing station and saw a lot of child abuse and it was so horrible. One of them was a mom of the grandma who was my moms best friend. I didn’t get Involved. Hurt my heart. How can one mistreat a little one ?? I can’t understand…….
Seeing that little snowsuit absolutely drenched in body fluids and probable decomposition is just utterly haunting. Rest in peace little guy, im so sorry you were treated like this. 😢
It’s so sickening how disturbed they are…those two creatures had the nerve to act like they didn’t know their son was dead in his crib as the father was curled up in the fetal position sobbing on the couch!
What keeps coming back to me is the pure torture for Benjamin strapped in a car seat wearing a snow parka in a very hot house for EIGHT days. Completely helpless. No water. No food, no nothing. I can’t even fathom it. This case really, really got to me. Rest peacefully sweet Benjamin. I am so very sorry.
If you think this is bad, which it definitely is, but check out the case of baby sterling koehn. Parents are scum Zachary koehn and Cheyenne Harris. It's worse than this for sure. They kept that baby in a baby swing in a closed up hot room no windows open, no fan, heat up, while they had air conditioning in the rest of the room, but they kept him in that baby swing for at least 2 weeks with no food, interaction, formula, nothing and he was 4 months old and that's how he died. It's a horrific case. One of the most horrific I've ever seen
Yes, it's just horrible. She couldn't even be bothered to hold your baby to feed him. The baby probably had zero human contact. Since the 90s there was a moratorium on adopting babies from the Eastern European countries. Not sure if it's still active. The babies were kept in basically metal cribs I never had human touch. So they were unable to bond with people once they were adopted. So when I think about baby Benjamin, he probably didn't have much fight in him to live. He wasn't thriving. I'm not at the end of the video, but I have a feeling he had sores on his back from sitting in his own waste. Poor little thing didn't deserve that fate. She's so selfish she said her husband doesn't clean, she doesn't clean either. She's living there too. It kills me, if you can complain somebody's not cleaning your house and you live there, you see it you could clean it too.
I would've taken that little one in a heartbeat. He would've had four big brothers to play with, food, been clean....but most of all, he would've been loved! I hope his so called parents rot!
I've become pretty desensitized from all the true crime content i consume but THIS literally made me ill. I hate to hear a baby crying in the grocery store but for 8 days to eat, sleep, bath, and just hang out around the house while your own child is dying is beyond sick!
I've had 3 babies. That diaper almost sent me through the roof! That poor baby had to have been crying and screaming, how could they have ignored him. Sick people, and no family would help? So sick.
That was disgusting. All the pictures of everything in their house was so disgusting. They are both just lazy POSs. Edit: Then you find out that she was working at a restaurant. So everyday she would wake up in that nasty, hazmat suit needing mess, and go to work at a restaurant where she was around other peoples food. Yuck.
@@janetpendlebury6808 after a while he wouldn't have had the strength to cry and scream but at first he'd have tried to communicate to survive. how they ignored him like that... these people should never be set free.
That pool of urine under the car seat did it for me. I’ve had four myself (all in their 20s now) and I have changed some heavy diapers from times when they slept long and deep, and have been through plenty of diaper blow outs, but just seeing the urine had gone through the entire car seat including the plastic base just boggles my mind. And if they couldn’t find family to take him there is always the foster care system
I remember reading about this awhile back. This baby was dropped off by a grandma who had taken him overnight. These scumbags literally put him in that crib, carseat and all, the moment grandma left. Closed the door and forgot about him. Idk how anyone could be so cruel and uncaring. But there were 2 people that willfully left that poor baby alone, festering and starving. How could they not realize death would occur? How do you ignore a baby's cries? I've had 4 kids and babies cry. In those first few days he would've been screaming. This is absolutely insane to me. May these 2 wastes of space rot in prison until they die.
What about grandma? My om would never have left my son with me in that house. She would have called the police on me for neglect. The whole family is guilty.
@@susanlane165that's what I came to say. My mom would have never returned my baby if those were the conditions of my house. Conversely, as a grandma myself, I would NEVER leave my grand baby in a home like that. Don't like it, kids? Go ahead, call the cops. I dare you. Open up that can of worms and watch how fast I get the cops on my side, and get you arrested. Act like a normal, decent human being, or I'll take that baby and make you wish you had straightened out your life sooner. God, I blame the grandma in this case as much as the parents. 😢😢😢
As a mother, the photos in this case nearly broke me to see. I have twins, and that is overwhelming, but I cant imagine neglecting any child as much as Benjamin was neglected. I even suffered from PPD and PPP in my early postpartum days. There is no excuse.
And he must have been screaming. That's the part that I don't get. (Well, I don't really get any of it.) It's not like he was being quiet and they just forgot about him, he had to have been crying non-stop for days.
I had twins too and overwhelming doesn't even begin to cover it! My house was a disaster area but my children were fed, clean, happy and extremely loved
I went to school with the guy 😡 he use to dress up like Elvis and walk around. I also seen him a week before it happened 😢 you’re one of the only channels to cover this case. I’m a big supporter!
Reminds me of baby sterling….so heartbreaking, so nightmarish for these emt people. I don’t know how they cope mentally. Another malice murder case. 😡 Pure evil.
@@thuandao4243 the baby sterling case had me crying. I question why I watch/ listen to these stories, but remind myself that those babies need their stories heard.
I don’t have or want kids but this struck something primal in me and almost drove me to tears. That poor, poor baby. Justice isn’t enough for something like this, nothing is.
As a father of two sweet babies it really kills me to know there’s crazies like these folks out here man I can’t even go more than 30 minutes without checking my babies diapers.
This reminds me of the story you covered where the parents left their child in a baby seat in a room facing the corner until the baby died; their house was in a similar condition too. I almost thought this was a re-upload because it was so similar.
Sterling Koehn god bless his little soul. His 'mother'has the balls to complain about how she's being treated in jail! I'd like to put her in a chair and leave her facing a corner for weeks on end.
@@Lizzie-h3j I have a great niece who is in the penal system, unfortunately. One thing I've learned from talking to her on the phone is what a strong dislike they have for mother's like Sterling's. They are willing to get an extra charge to get to them.
@@kristy9337 om sorry about your nieces situation but I know alot of the females in prison jave children on the outside who they love and miss dearly and then you've got a monster like Sterling's 'mother' complaining about how she's being treated and it boils my blood, does she realise she's in prison and not The Four Seasons?? Om not usually a violent person but for her I'd make an exception and I hope she's being given hell everyday because she saw fit to put her innocent baby through hell. I watched the trial and everyone who was involved in Sterling's case has been deeply affected by what they saw that day and probably will be for the rest of their lives.
I'm picturing a constant cry from that room and when there was no crying he was just asleep... day after day after day after til there was no more heartbeat. With a fist of rage to the sky. 😔
This level of neglect…just awful. I remember when my kids were born all I did was worry about them. I cant imagine how any person could do this to their child.
I can not even watch the whole thing! It hits way to close to home!! My husband & I are currently keeping our 5 month old grandson! His mother is suffering from PPD. He was born premature & therefore had to stay in the NICU for the first 2 weeks of his life. His mother has been unable to bond with him. She recognized that she is having trouble & brought him to us. It tears my heart to shreds that little Benjamin did not have parents who recognized they had a serious problem & that that little baby boy had no one to step in & save him!!!
I would constantly get up just to check if my kid was still breathing when they were a baby. I couldn’t imagine not being bothered to even feed, bathe or hold them.
@Quintin Goynes I was the same with mine. I still do with my grandbabies. Even with my children still if they are napping, even though they are grown now, lol
I had trouble bonding with my first baby. I wouldn't have ever dreamed of treating her like that. She was my baby! She was special precious and we did indeed bond.... can't imagine treating treating a baby like that.
I had the same issue with my twins because their father was abusive. I was afraid they'd grow up with the same attachment disorder that I had with my mom because we never bonded so I went through a lot of therapy while they were young and it was tough. I thought I'd failed them so many times because sometimes I just felt so numb. But I never hurt them and did everything I could to provide for them and I always made a point of telling them I loved them.
I had the same thing happen after I had my last baby. I thought she hated me. People laughed at me when I told them that. Not a lot was known and understood about PPD at that time. I neglected myself more than anyone
This is beyond tragic. I lived in similar household when I was a kid but it wasn’t like this until I was 8. My mother had my younger sister when I was 11. She would leave for a week+ at a time leaving no diapers, formula or food. I was taking care of an infant. The thought of my little sister being neglected to this point haunts me. As shitty as MY childhood was, I wouldn’t trade it because I know I saved my little sister from a similar fate. RIP Benjamin 👼
how is it possible to pump out this much quality content in such short periods of time? this man works hard. can't wait to see you at 1m. you deserve it.
He’s quickly becoming the best true crime creator. He does such an excellent job and providing the information without seeming insensitive towards the victims or their families. Him, dreading and coffeehouse crime deserve their success
As a father you must be appalled by this story Jiles. Your work must be tuff on the heart. Thank you for going thru what you do to investigate and report on these cases about children most of all.
This could be the worst story of child neglect I’ve ever heard of. My heart breaks for baby Benjamin. Those two sad excuses for parents got exactly what they deserved. I hope others heed the warning of this catastrophe, no child or anyone should ever have to to endure something this tragic.
I agree except I think baby Sterling was worse. He had MAGGOTS eating his precious skin while he was alive! He was placed in a hot, DARK room, facing the wall, and left to die like baby Benjamin. But for some reason, he had maggots eating him alive. It started with his poopy diaper being so full of rotting feces that when the maggots hatched, they also began eating his butt, legs and back - ALIVE! Oh. My. God! 😢😢😢
HONESTLY. The moral of the story here is if you dont want your child then have the child put up for adoption ok!!!! At least that child will go to someone who wants that precious baby
Well said ‼️‼️ DIRTBAGS is all they are …. Shove them into car seats in their cells and see how they like to be left to rot away starving and I would say stinking but they seem to like filth … ugh ‼️‼️ don’t know why these delinquent fools have the nerve to bring a baby into the world to be so cruel and selfish ‼️‼️8 days, left to have bacteria eat away at the baby because of the filth, roasting in a snowsuit and starving all while stuck in that car seat ‼️‼️ mental health issues or drugs or whatever wouldn’t be any excuse for this neglect … ever ‼️‼️ RIP LITTLE Benjamin ❤️
Im a grandpa now and I get to spend alot of time with my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. I cant imagine the rage I would feel if I found one of my loved ones in such neglect. That poor kid had to have been in so much pain just from not being changed regularly. To leave him sitting in his own refuse for so long it makes a puddle under the carrier, soaks that winter suit and then not even feed him is just evil. The mother and the father have shared air with the rest of us for far too long Benjamin was a handsome little feller!
My baby is 3 months old and this episode has been very difficult to watch. It made my blood boil. It made me want to scream with fury. Humankind is just impossible to understand at times. Edit: ok, listen, I eat true crime for breakfast for years, but this is the only time I cried when the cause of death was revealed. God damn it.
My youngest “baby” is now 20 years old. Just the thought of not caring for any of my kids even now that they are grown is heartbreaking! Poor little guy didn’t stand a chance!
Ever since I became a mother these cases about child neglect and death really hit different. Incredibly difficult to listen to and the photos of the bloodied and dirtied snowsuit is horrifying. I'm disgusted that anyone could neglect such a defesless little human.
I remember coming across this case some years ago, it was absolutely heart breaking hearing how much baby Benjamin suffered at the hands of these two disgusting human beings, l was in tears. RIP baby Benjamin, you are in an much better place now.
Dude your podcasts have been my morning work commute ritual for years. It is so awesome having a face to the voice now. TIM is the best murder/sk podcast out there!!
Rest in Paradise young Benjamin. You never had a chance with parents like that, my father was a Pittsburgh Firefighter for 34 years until his death in 2010 and he told me stories about the stuff he saw over the years and it was terrifying. He lived with that, I’ll always believe it haunted him.
I love this channel and I appreciate the consistently amazing content, but I’m tapping out three minutes in on this one. I can’t. That poor tiny soul deserved so much better. 😢❤❤❤
I've been watching since your first season, and I really appreciate that you include the same instructions on how to use The Hotline every time - by this point, I can recite them verbatim. It's certainly the most useful piece of information I've got memorized.
This was one of the hardest episodes to watch. You did a great job with it tho. R.I.P. Benjamin. By the way, love your new introductions, showing us your face....thanks again. Take care out there everyone and treat people like you would like to be treated....
These are the most disturbing crime scene photos of ever seen in my life. I know of baby Sterling Koehn’s case, which is sadly similar but there aren’t as many graphic photos that I have seen of his case. I have a 23 month old and I imagine sweet baby Benjamin’s story and beautiful innocent face is going to be in my mind every time I care for and love on my son for a long time coming. Just as I think of Sterling so often. As a mommy (or honestly just a human with a soul) stories like this stick with you. Rest In Peace to both of these darling baby boys 🧸
Love the Descendents shirt sir! Been a sub since 150k, your work ethic and ability to make so many quality videos is amazing! Thank you for everything you do 🖤
Thank you for another carefully done story. It's nice to see your face more at the opening, it's like seeing an old friend after only chatting on the phone. One thing that irks me, just like in the Sean Welch case, when it's obvious the parent has been ably answering their own wants and needs, like food and drink, when the food and dishes are right there laying around, it just doesn't seem possible to ignore. I would think the mother would be doing shopping, and it didn't seem like anyone had thought of thought of using any money for baby food either.
What a horrible set of people. I wish i could help these kids... it is more breaking than anything to see a child of any age thrown aside for any reason. God comfort you little Benji, may you never know sadness, sorrow or pain again. Rest in Peace sweet boy.
He'd have been the same age as my eldest son, my eldest was 10lbs at birth so this breaks my heart. How could either of them not know he was suffering in his final days? Fly high little angel
Man, I’m not a mom and those photos are extremely disturbing. I can’t imagine being a parent and seeing those pictures. I hear awful, awful things all day but this was very hard to watch. 😢
I have a one year old and I'm pregnant with my second child. This video was absolutely gut wrenching to get through....I've always been a true crime buff but after I had my son cases like this really get to me and harder for me to listen to than they ever were before.
@sadpanda2633 congrats on your wonderful kiddos :) ive got a 4 1/2 year old girl, and it feels like yesterday she was as little as baby benjamin here .... this case absolutely turned my stomach, and ive got a deep burning in my heart that i normally wouldnt. its easy to become detached from true crime stories , but ... my god.... the bloody diaper .... fcck.
This is why I love this channel. I typed this case into the youtube search bar and this is the only video done over this case. I watch so much true crime so I always see the same stuff but this channel always brings one I've never heard of
Sickening. Imagine the crying/screaming coming from the poor tortured baby. Going through postpartum depression, I had my moments, especially not taking care of myself and the home but my daughters were always taken care of. In fact, they were my motivation to seek help.
This one hurt. My daughters saved my life. I was on a one way path to the grave when my first came along. I got myself cleaned up some then my 2nd came unexpectedly as a gift from god and today my life is unrecognizable from who I was. But it was them being so small and dependent on us. It gave me flashbacks of my parents being neglectful and not being there for me and it broke my heart. I've 6 years now, day in day out they are my life. These people make me so angry. My girls never had a diaper rash let alone crusty bottles. N I pride myself on the fact they never sat in diapers or went without anything. I was always there.
Well done on your life change. You did the right thing. Children are gifts. Unfortunately some people discard children like the are throw away garbage. There would have been a queue of people who really want to have children but life has dealt them a cruel hand. How can idiots and lazy bastard's manage to have a healthy baby, when so many with all of the compassion and empathy for the opportunity to be a parent to nurture and love a lucky baby are not able to have that chance? I am so happy for your children. You sound strong and loving. God bless you from Ireland 🇮🇪. I hope that the spirit of Benjamin comes to visit the nightmares that these pair of low life selfish scum, have on a nightly rate. Please 🙏. I'm so angry. I want to write lots of the way I am feeling. But I know that I shouldn't.
Thank you for being a good human being, for recognizing that your children relied on you to survive, and for embracing that role. They saved you from yourself, YOU saved yourself for them. 🥰 That's a beautiful thing.
I appreciate the time you take to tell your stories. I drive about 50 minutes each way to work and you have been loaded up before the engine starts each time.
I love that you’re on screen! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a long time. I won’t watch any with kids in it anymore because I have a child. I find it heartbreaking. I just wish someone had addicted these children and cared for them. That aside, it’s great to see you grow as a creator! 🎉
As a parent these stories make especially sick to my stomach. I just can’t fathom how people could be so negligent and careless with an infant. It’s hard to even finish listening to these stories. When our child was a baby my wife and I cared for him and loved him with all of our hearts
I couldn't imagine. First time momma here and this makes me absolutely sick to my stomach that poor baby and the pain he must of felt in his last moments. The fear, isolation, and just knowing he never felt comforted and love makes my heart hurt in a different type of pain I've never felt.
I'm exactly 4 minutes in and crying already,I can feel my blood boiling 😢.This poor little man suffered so much in his little life. I hope they rot in hell but not before their nice fellow prisoners show them a good time. This is so hard to watch but you have done an amazing job as always.
I don't understand why keep a baby. There are so many places with no question drop-offs! Breaks tlmy heart that that little angel had no love in his short life.
This story is the reason I loathe people, how do you walk away from your infant when they need you as a parent? This was heartbreaking, seeing his little snowsuit and diaper decomposed was soulcrushing. I hope little baby Ben is resting in peace and may his parents both burn in the ever burning flames of hell for what they put that poor boy through
It's been over 15 years now and I hope those scumbags will be in prison for the rest of their lives. I hate when I hear idiots get parole and then commit other crimes. I hope the parents of this precious little baby get treated like shit and I hope it continues until they die in prison. How can any human do this type of thing, especially to an innocent baby. This story has upset me so so much. These stories need to be told and hopefully, the more people know then less of these evil people will roam the streets
The blood the diaper tells you just how agonizing this little angel's final days were. He must have been covered in diaper sores. This is so infuriating. This is why I couldn't do this job. His face would have been attached to that diaper with a well placed boot, for as long as it took to shut him off. In my opinion, even that's too easy for them.
Extremely heartbreaking to see this baby being left in utter filth...reminds me of the case of poor Baby Sterling.....there are no excuses for these senseless and atrocious "parents" neglecting their babies to the point of death. RIP Precious Baby Benjamin.
This is so disgusting. These poor children. I guess the least we can do is hear about it and try to be vigilant for others. 😔 this is truly unbelievable. A fully furnished home but I’m sure due to drugs these people just literally let their home, lives, and actual child !!! deteriorate !!!! This is gut wrenching
Thank you for working so hard to make these videos so the victims might be able to have even a sliver of their dignity and recognition returned to them. It cannot be easy to research these stories and put them together. I really hope you are taking care of yourself and have the support of a good therapist. 💖 I am glad to see you have been popping in occasionally to give genuine reactions to these monsters. Some of your responses have made me “mmmmmhmm!” right along with you. 😒 I’m over here conversing with you like an old southern church lady throwing shade and making faces. 😅😂
I read this quote today in my dean Koontz novel and it made me think of this case (saw the video yesterday) "those who kill a child have killed their own souls and exist rather than live, and neither live nor exist in any world to come."
Thank you for doing coverage of this case you did it justice! It is absolutely disturbing on every level how to able-bodied adults could let such a horrific thing happen to an innocent child. Thank you for bringing White to it.
That face the guy makes is priceless, that’s a face that says “Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I wound up killing an infant. Well, let me tell ya” *Baba O’Riley begins to play*
I have never heard of this case. What a horrible way for a child to be treated. He had absolutely no chance against that kind of neglect. They are both equally responsible. I don’t understand how this kind of stuff happens.
How could anyone put a beautiful, innocent baby through that hell 😭😭😭😭😭😭 my hearts actually broken for what that child had to endure in his short life 😭 r.I.p beautiful little one
I used to work 45 hours a week and I wake up at 4:00 AM drop my baby at my mom's go to work, pick my baby up, return home, cook, clean, and take care of a baby like every working mother with minimum to no sleep, (I only sleep in the car while my husband drives). It was so hard! Her excuse of being busy is a slap on the face for all working mothers out there!!!
Great show and killer shirt, man! Longtime fan and supporter here. You just keep getting better. My favorite YT channel. ❤ I'm so sorry this world was so incredibly cruel to Benjamin. He deserved so much better. Tragic story.
I have a 2 month old baby and the photos literally turned my stomach upside down. I run to my son as soon as I hear him cry, I can't imagine what that poor baby went through.
It's just horrendous how this poor baby suffered before he died. The fact that he was murdered by his parents is bad enough but adding his suffering on top of that makes it all the more terrible.
I know I pronounced “attributed” wrong. I made a note to correct it and forgot. I know how to pronounce it. Sometimes my brain and my mouth don’t get along.

If you think this is bad, which it definitely is, but check out the case of baby sterling koehn. Parents are scum Zachary koehn and Cheyenne Harris. It's worse than this for sure. They kept that baby in a baby swing in a closed up hot room no windows open, no fan, heat up, while they had air conditioning in the rest of the room, but they kept him in that baby swing for at least 2 weeks with no food, interaction, formula, nothing and he was 4 months old and that's how he died. It's a horrific case. One of the most horrific I've ever seen
Yes, it's just horrible.
She couldn't even be bothered to hold your baby to feed him.
The baby probably had zero human contact. Since the 90s there was a moratorium on adopting babies from the Eastern European countries. Not sure if it's still active. The babies were kept in basically metal cribs I never had human touch. So they were unable to bond with people once they were adopted.
So when I think about baby Benjamin, he probably didn't have much fight in him to live. He wasn't thriving. I'm not at the end of the video, but I have a feeling he had sores on his back from sitting in his own waste. Poor little thing didn't deserve that fate.
She's so selfish she said her husband doesn't clean, she doesn't clean either. She's living there too. It kills me, if you can complain somebody's not cleaning your house and you live there, you see it you could clean it too.
I wonder if she had post-partum depression?
Yeah, this one messed with me.
The overwhelming anxiety I feel thinking about how excruciatingly painful that was for Benjamin makes me physically ill. That poor baby boy 😱🤯😓🤬
The crime scene photos were horrific. RIP sweet baby. So many of us would have taken that baby in. They didn't have to do this.
I would've taken that little one in a heartbeat. He would've had four big brothers to play with, food, been clean....but most of all, he would've been loved! I hope his so called parents rot!
It's so true, this is so heartbreaking...
Trust me they look over their shoulders every day in prison hahahahahaha
I've become pretty desensitized from all the true crime content i consume but THIS literally made me ill. I hate to hear a baby crying in the grocery store but for 8 days to eat, sleep, bath, and just hang out around the house while your own child is dying is beyond sick!

As a mother, the photos in this case nearly broke me to see. I have twins, and that is overwhelming, but I cant imagine neglecting any child as much as Benjamin was neglected. I even suffered from PPD and PPP in my early postpartum days. There is no excuse.
2 minutes in and I’m already sick to my stomach. That poor baby. This is a hard one to watch.
These are so hard to watch but everytime I do I clean house, do my chores and hug my children tightly.
@@foenix8094 any parent then...
And he must have been screaming. That's the part that I don't get. (Well, I don't really get any of it.) It's not like he was being quiet and they just forgot about him, he had to have been crying non-stop for days.
I had twins too and overwhelming doesn't even begin to cover it!
My house was a disaster area but my children were fed, clean, happy and extremely loved
I went to school with the guy 😡 he use to dress up like Elvis and walk around. I also seen him a week before it happened 😢 you’re one of the only channels to cover this case. I’m a big supporter!
Did he ever say anything to you?
@@canal_changeling was dressed, like Elvis at our school. He would casually make conversation, but nothing relevant.
I can't imagine the trauma the first responders and coroners experience when they see cases like this
Reminds me of baby sterling….so heartbreaking, so nightmarish for these emt people. I don’t know how they cope mentally. Another malice murder case. 😡 Pure evil.
@@thuandao4243 that was another case that will never leave my mind. So heartbreaking
@@tylerskiss I hope knowing that you help so many people by being a first responder helps ease some of the trauma from the ones that can't be helped
That always get me about these cases…. 😔😔
@@thuandao4243 the baby sterling case had me crying. I question why I watch/ listen to these stories, but remind myself that those babies need their stories heard.
I don’t have or want kids but this struck something primal in me and almost drove me to tears. That poor, poor baby. Justice isn’t enough for something like this, nothing is.
It infuriates when pieces of crap treat kids like this. How awful for that baby, helpless and trusted his parents. How sickening.
Yes, and how many loving people try so hard to conceive! Ugh.......
@@micdropfroggyface6466 What are you talking about? Or who? You sure lost me. Anyone else understand this person?🤔
@@laurametheny1008nope!
@@micdropfroggyface6466is english your first language?
@@micdropfroggyface6466 I perfectly understood what the OP said. Maybe English is not his/her first language. So stop being a grammar nazi.
As a father of two sweet babies it really kills me to know there’s crazies like these folks out here man I can’t even go more than 30 minutes without checking my babies diapers.
They aren't "crazies". Selfish horrible inhuman p.o.s. maybe but not crazies.
This reminds me of the story you covered where the parents left their child in a baby seat in a room facing the corner until the baby died; their house was in a similar condition too. I almost thought this was a re-upload because it was so similar.
I thought of that case too😢😢😢.
People are effed up.🥺
Sterling Koehn. He was in a swing when he passed. So sad…😥
Sterling Koehn god bless his little soul. His 'mother'has the balls to complain about how she's being treated in jail! I'd like to put her in a chair and leave her facing a corner for weeks on end.
@@Lizzie-h3j I have a great niece who is in the penal system, unfortunately. One thing I've learned from talking to her on the phone is what a strong dislike they have for mother's like Sterling's. They are willing to get an extra charge to get to them.
@@kristy9337 om sorry about your nieces situation but I know alot of the females in prison jave children on the outside who they love and miss dearly and then you've got a monster like Sterling's 'mother' complaining about how she's being treated and it boils my blood, does she realise she's in prison and not The Four Seasons?? Om not usually a violent person but for her I'd make an exception and I hope she's being given hell everyday because she saw fit to put her innocent baby through hell. I watched the trial and everyone who was involved in Sterling's case has been deeply affected by what they saw that day and probably will be for the rest of their lives.
This was my childhood. Thanks for enlightening the world to neglect and I love your face it suits your words. Thank you from a survivor.❤
This is beyond sick. They didn't want or care about this poor baby. 😔
This is malice murder, dp.
I'm picturing a constant cry from that room and when there was no crying he was just asleep... day after day after day after til there was no more heartbeat. With a fist of rage to the sky. 😔
This level of neglect…just awful. I remember when my kids were born all I did was worry about them. I cant imagine how any person could do this to their child.
I can not even watch the whole thing! It hits way to close to home!! My husband & I are currently keeping our 5 month old grandson! His mother is suffering from PPD. He was born premature & therefore had to stay in the NICU for the first 2 weeks of his life. His mother has been unable to bond with him. She recognized that she is having trouble & brought him to us. It tears my heart to shreds that little Benjamin did not have parents who recognized they had a serious problem & that that little baby boy had no one to step in & save him!!!
I thought the same eh ... that little baby had to be screaming its lungs out for days and his parents did nothing.
I would constantly get up just to check if my kid was still breathing when they were a baby. I couldn’t imagine not being bothered to even feed, bathe or hold them.
@Quintin Goynes I was the same with mine. I still do with my grandbabies. Even with my children still if they are napping, even though they are grown now, lol
@@dragonstooth4223 It chokes me up even thinking about it 😭
I had trouble bonding with my first baby. I wouldn't have ever dreamed of treating her like that. She was my baby! She was special precious and we did indeed bond.... can't imagine treating treating a baby like that.
I had the same issue with my twins because their father was abusive. I was afraid they'd grow up with the same attachment disorder that I had with my mom because we never bonded so I went through a lot of therapy while they were young and it was tough. I thought I'd failed them so many times because sometimes I just felt so numb. But I never hurt them and did everything I could to provide for them and I always made a point of telling them I loved them.
I had the same thing happen after I had my last baby. I thought she hated me. People laughed at me when I told them that. Not a lot was known and understood about PPD at that time. I neglected myself more than anyone
PPD and PTSD/CPTSD can cause attachment issues in new moms
That poor baby didn’t stand a chance :(
Rest in peace Benjamin ❤
This is beyond tragic. I lived in similar household when I was a kid but it wasn’t like this until I was 8. My mother had my younger sister when I was 11. She would leave for a week+ at a time leaving no diapers, formula or food. I was taking care of an infant. The thought of my little sister being neglected to this point haunts me. As shitty as MY childhood was, I wouldn’t trade it because I know I saved my little sister from a similar fate.
RIP Benjamin 👼
how is it possible to pump out this much quality content in such short periods of time? this man works hard. can't wait to see you at 1m. you deserve it.
No shortage of material with so many useless people pumping out unwanted babies.
@@tinawindham6958 now republicans are making sure there are more unwanted kids with their abortion bans. Good for them.
I swear he's gone up from 100k to over 600k in a year at least. Which is fantastic.
He’s quickly becoming the best true crime creator. He does such an excellent job and providing the information without seeming insensitive towards the victims or their families. Him, dreading and coffeehouse crime deserve their success
@@bigdadybojangls9219 for sure
This episode was extremely tough to get through. Devastating to the heart to know this happens to infants and children
As a father you must be appalled by this story Jiles. Your work must be tuff on the heart. Thank you for going thru what you do to investigate and report on these cases about children most of all.
This could be the worst story of child neglect I’ve ever heard of. My heart breaks for baby Benjamin. Those two sad excuses for parents got exactly what they deserved. I hope others heed the warning of this catastrophe, no child or anyone should ever have to to endure something this tragic.
This and the episode with baby Sterling who met a very similar fate in a baby swing. 😢
I agree except I think baby Sterling was worse. He had MAGGOTS eating his precious skin while he was alive! He was placed in a hot, DARK room, facing the wall, and left to die like baby Benjamin. But for some reason, he had maggots eating him alive. It started with his poopy diaper being so full of rotting feces that when the maggots hatched, they also began eating his butt, legs and back - ALIVE! Oh. My. God! 😢😢😢
HONESTLY. The moral of the story here is if you dont want your child then have the child put up for adoption ok!!!! At least that child will go to someone who wants that precious baby
F*** these abusers, it hurts to hear about how badly they neglected Benjamin. Poor baby, r.i.p. poor little guy you deserved so much more in life.
Well said ‼️‼️ DIRTBAGS is all they are …. Shove them into car seats in their cells and see how they like to be left to rot away starving and I would say stinking but they seem to like filth … ugh ‼️‼️ don’t know why these delinquent fools have the nerve to bring a baby into the world to be so cruel and selfish ‼️‼️8 days, left to have bacteria eat away at the baby because of the filth, roasting in a snowsuit and starving all while stuck in that car seat ‼️‼️ mental health issues or drugs or whatever wouldn’t be any excuse for this neglect … ever ‼️‼️ RIP LITTLE Benjamin ❤️
Im a grandpa now and I get to spend alot of time with my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. I cant imagine the rage I would feel if I found one of my loved ones in such neglect. That poor kid had to have been in so much pain just from not being changed regularly. To leave him sitting in his own refuse for so long it makes a puddle under the carrier, soaks that winter suit and then not even feed him is just evil. The mother and the father have shared air with the rest of us for far too long
Benjamin was a handsome little feller!
My baby is 3 months old and this episode has been very difficult to watch. It made my blood boil. It made me want to scream with fury. Humankind is just impossible to understand at times.
Edit: ok, listen, I eat true crime for breakfast for years, but this is the only time I cried when the cause of death was revealed. God damn it.
Congrats on the baby 🎉😊
Yep… this one is really terrible. Sickening.
My youngest “baby” is now 20 years old. Just the thought of not caring for any of my kids even now that they are grown is heartbreaking! Poor little guy didn’t stand a chance!
It's crazy how we can take years of it and never break; but one case always gets you. You're a human with a heart, and it's beautiful.
I know this feeling. I was volunteering in my daughter’s kindergarten class when Sandy Hook murders happened. I was absolutely devastated.
Ever since I became a mother these cases about child neglect and death really hit different. Incredibly difficult to listen to and the photos of the bloodied and dirtied snowsuit is horrifying. I'm disgusted that anyone could neglect such a defesless little human.
Love seeing the face behind the voice. Love the content. Keep up the great work.
This episode makes me wanna hold onto my 3 kids so close…I can’t imagine how that baby felt and what he’s gone through..
I remember coming across this case some years ago, it was absolutely heart breaking hearing how much baby Benjamin suffered at the hands of these two disgusting human beings, l was in tears. RIP baby Benjamin, you are in an much better place now.
He's covered this story before a while back and man the first time I heard it I almost cried at work
Dude your podcasts have been my morning work commute ritual for years. It is so awesome having a face to the voice now.
TIM is the best murder/sk podcast out there!!
Less then 5 minutes in im having trouble continuing. So gruesome and heartbreaking
Rest in Paradise young Benjamin. You never had a chance with parents like that, my father was a Pittsburgh Firefighter for 34 years until his death in 2010 and he told me stories about the stuff he saw over the years and it was terrifying. He lived with that, I’ll always believe it haunted him.
What a beautiful baby I cannot believe people can be so cruel and evil
I will never understand people. A child is such a wonderful gift ❣️🎁
I love this channel and I appreciate the consistently amazing content, but I’m tapping out three minutes in on this one. I can’t. That poor tiny soul deserved so much better. 😢❤❤❤
I've been watching since your first season, and I really appreciate that you include the same instructions on how to use The Hotline every time - by this point, I can recite them verbatim. It's certainly the most useful piece of information I've got memorized.
I hope you know how much we appreciate your work Jiles!!💯💯
That poor little baby never had a chance! Imagine the pain and suffering he went through before dying..just so tragic! 😪
This was one of the hardest episodes to watch. You did a great job with it tho. R.I.P. Benjamin. By the way, love your new introductions, showing us your face....thanks again. Take care out there everyone and treat people like you would like to be treated....
You articulate your words so well I could watch with the sound and subtitles off and still could hear you perfectly.
These are the most disturbing crime scene photos of ever seen in my life. I know of baby Sterling Koehn’s case, which is sadly similar but there aren’t as many graphic photos that I have seen of his case. I have a 23 month old and I imagine sweet baby Benjamin’s story and beautiful innocent face is going to be in my mind every time I care for and love on my son for a long time coming. Just as I think of Sterling so often. As a mommy (or honestly just a human with a soul) stories like this stick with you. Rest In Peace to both of these darling baby boys 🧸
Dear God 😢 Thank you for telling baby Benjamin's story 😔❤️ What hell he had to endure is just heartbreaking 😔
Love the Descendents shirt sir!
Been a sub since 150k, your work ethic and ability to make so many quality videos is amazing!
Thank you for everything you do 🖤
Rest In Peace baby Benjamin 💕 I am so so sorry the people who were supposed to love you and care for you instead hurt you.
Thank you for another carefully done story. It's nice to see your face more at the opening, it's like seeing an old friend after only chatting on the phone.
One thing that irks me, just like in the Sean Welch case, when it's obvious the parent has been ably answering their own wants and needs, like food and drink, when the food and dishes are right there laying around, it just doesn't seem possible to ignore. I would think the mother would be doing shopping, and it didn't seem like anyone had thought of thought of using any money for baby food either.
What a horrible set of people. I wish i could help these kids... it is more breaking than anything to see a child of any age thrown aside for any reason. God comfort you little Benji, may you never know sadness, sorrow or pain again. Rest in Peace sweet boy.
After becoming a father. Watching these is super hard. The rage that builds from hearing what these motherf--- do really peaks
He'd have been the same age as my eldest son, my eldest was 10lbs at birth so this breaks my heart. How could either of them not know he was suffering in his final days? Fly high little angel
As a mom I can barely watch this- I just want to pick up that sweet boy and love him 😢
I’ve been following you for years! I’m always amazed at the calm you exhibit when reporting such horrific crimes. Thank you!
Omg. I can't understand how people live like this. Disgusting. The pictures of Ben's clothes is heart breaking. Just aweful.
Mental health issues amd drugs I'm sure
That poor baby! This case made me cry. I can’t imagine how someone can just neglect their baby like that. He didn’t deserve to suffer
Man, I’m not a mom and those photos are extremely disturbing. I can’t imagine being a parent and seeing those pictures. I hear awful, awful things all day but this was very hard to watch. 😢
I have a one year old and I'm pregnant with my second child. This video was absolutely gut wrenching to get through....I've always been a true crime buff but after I had my son cases like this really get to me and harder for me to listen to than they ever were before.
@sadpanda2633 congrats on your wonderful kiddos :) ive got a 4 1/2 year old girl, and it feels like yesterday she was as little as baby benjamin here .... this case absolutely turned my stomach, and ive got a deep burning in my heart that i normally wouldnt. its easy to become detached from true crime stories , but ... my god.... the bloody diaper .... fcck.
Beautifully done videos. This is my new favorite channel. Wish I found ya sooner.
Have been following your channel for a while and must say that I can listen to your voice for hours.
How absolutely horrible, another baby Sterling...may you rest in peace little Benjamin, you deserved so much more than what you got in this life.
That baby suit... no, just no... that's... there are no words. Just horrific.
I have no words... Tears, sobbing, feelings of absolute disgust bordering on hatred. But no words.
This is why I love this channel. I typed this case into the youtube search bar and this is the only video done over this case. I watch so much true crime so I always see the same stuff but this channel always brings one I've never heard of
Sickening. Imagine the crying/screaming coming from the poor tortured baby. Going through postpartum depression, I had my moments, especially not taking care of myself and the home but my daughters were always taken care of. In fact, they were my motivation to seek help.
This one hurt. My daughters saved my life. I was on a one way path to the grave when my first came along. I got myself cleaned up some then my 2nd came unexpectedly as a gift from god and today my life is unrecognizable from who I was. But it was them being so small and dependent on us. It gave me flashbacks of my parents being neglectful and not being there for me and it broke my heart. I've 6 years now, day in day out they are my life. These people make me so angry. My girls never had a diaper rash let alone crusty bottles. N I pride myself on the fact they never sat in diapers or went without anything. I was always there.
Well done on your life change. You did the right thing. Children are gifts. Unfortunately some people discard children like the are throw away garbage.
There would have been a queue of people who really want to have children but life has dealt them a cruel hand. How can idiots and lazy bastard's manage to have a healthy baby, when so many with all of the compassion and empathy for the opportunity to be a parent to nurture and love a lucky baby are not able to have that chance?
I am so happy for your children. You sound strong and loving.
God bless you from Ireland 🇮🇪.
I hope that the spirit of Benjamin comes to visit the nightmares that these pair of low life selfish scum, have on a nightly rate. Please 🙏.
I'm so angry. I want to write lots of the way I am feeling. But I know that I shouldn't.
Nice job being the Mom you needed to be for your kids. You should be proud of yourself.
Thank you for being a good human being, for recognizing that your children relied on you to survive, and for embracing that role.
They saved you from yourself, YOU saved yourself for them. 🥰
That's a beautiful thing.
❤❤
i also was on a quick path to the eternal sleep before i had my girl. ive got 5 years clean on may 17th. wishing you and your kiddos the best !!!
I appreciate the time you take to tell your stories. I drive about 50 minutes each way to work and you have been loaded up before the engine starts each time.
I would never understand how can u hurt an innocent baby and abuse him like this🤦🏻♂️😠
💖💎🏆 You & your brother
work tirelessly
to make sure victims
are never forgotten.
I just wanna say you’re a great content maker. Thank you for the coverage.
I love that you’re on screen! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a long time. I won’t watch any with kids in it anymore because I have a child. I find it heartbreaking. I just wish someone had addicted these children and cared for them. That aside, it’s great to see you grow as a creator! 🎉
As a parent these stories make especially sick to my stomach. I just can’t fathom how people could be so negligent and careless with an infant. It’s hard to even finish listening to these stories. When our child was a baby my wife and I cared for him and loved him with all of our hearts
I couldn't imagine. First time momma here and this makes me absolutely sick to my stomach that poor baby and the pain he must of felt in his last moments. The fear, isolation, and just knowing he never felt comforted and love makes my heart hurt in a different type of pain I've never felt.
Oh man, the stains on the back of the snowsuit are horrendous!! Poor Benjamin 😢
I'm exactly 4 minutes in and crying already,I can feel my blood boiling 😢.This poor little man suffered so much in his little life. I hope they rot in hell but not before their nice fellow prisoners show them a good time.
This is so hard to watch but you have done an amazing job as always.
I don't understand why keep a baby. There are so many places with no question drop-offs! Breaks tlmy heart that that little angel had no love in his short life.
This is beyond heartbreaking. Benjamin deserved so much better 😭
My dear Lord. I have no words
This story is the reason I loathe people, how do you walk away from your infant when they need you as a parent? This was heartbreaking, seeing his little snowsuit and diaper decomposed was soulcrushing. I hope little baby Ben is resting in peace and may his parents both burn in the ever burning flames of hell for what they put that poor boy through
Agreed, a literal stranger would have more compassion for the little human.
It's been over 15 years now and I hope those scumbags will be in prison for the rest of their lives. I hate when I hear idiots get parole and then commit other crimes. I hope the parents of this precious little baby get treated like shit and I hope it continues until they die in prison. How can any human do this type of thing, especially to an innocent baby. This story has upset me so so much. These stories need to be told and hopefully, the more people know then less of these evil people will roam the streets
The blood the diaper tells you just how agonizing this little angel's final days were. He must have been covered in diaper sores.
This is so infuriating. This is why I couldn't do this job. His face would have been attached to that diaper with a well placed boot, for as long as it took to shut him off. In my opinion, even that's too easy for them.
She's almost more to blame. Ludicrous
Extremely heartbreaking to see this baby being left in utter filth...reminds me of the case of poor Baby Sterling.....there are no excuses for these senseless and atrocious "parents" neglecting their babies to the point of death. RIP Precious Baby Benjamin.
This is so disgusting. These poor children. I guess the least we can do is hear about it and try to be vigilant for others. 😔 this is truly unbelievable. A fully furnished home but I’m sure due to drugs these people just literally let their home, lives, and actual child !!! deteriorate !!!! This is gut wrenching
Thanks for another great video
Thank you for working so hard to make these videos so the victims might be able to have even a sliver of their dignity and recognition returned to them. It cannot be easy to research these stories and put them together. I really hope you are taking care of yourself and have the support of a good therapist. 💖 I am glad to see you have been popping in occasionally to give genuine reactions to these monsters. Some of your responses have made me “mmmmmhmm!” right along with you. 😒 I’m over here conversing with you like an old southern church lady throwing shade and making faces. 😅😂
😂😂😂😂😂 best comment
I read this quote today in my dean Koontz novel and it made me think of this case (saw the video yesterday) "those who kill a child have killed their own souls and exist rather than live, and neither live nor exist in any world to come."
Thank you for doing coverage of this case you did it justice! It is absolutely disturbing on every level how to able-bodied adults could let such a horrific thing happen to an innocent child. Thank you for bringing White to it.
Omg I can't find the words that are strong enough to discribe my horror and discust. 💔😭 Fly high baby Benjamin 💙✨
That face the guy makes is priceless, that’s a face that says
“Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I wound up killing an infant. Well, let me tell ya”
*Baba O’Riley begins to play*
I cannot stop crying.. this is one of the most horrific cases Ive ever listened to. Omg... that sweet baby...
I have never heard of this case. What a horrible way for a child to be treated. He had absolutely no chance against that kind of neglect.
They are both equally responsible. I don’t understand how this kind of stuff happens.
How could anyone put a beautiful, innocent baby through that hell 😭😭😭😭😭😭 my hearts actually broken for what that child had to endure in his short life 😭 r.I.p beautiful little one
I used to work 45 hours a week and I wake up at 4:00 AM drop my baby at my mom's go to work, pick my baby up, return home, cook, clean, and take care of a baby like every working mother with minimum to no sleep, (I only sleep in the car while my husband drives). It was so hard! Her excuse of being busy is a slap on the face for all working mothers out there!!!
agree , and you sound like a super mama :)
RIP beautiful💙Benjamin 💔😥
Looking good, Jiles! Thank you for the awesome content, I've been following this channel since the beginning and I'm so glad I did.
Great show and killer shirt, man! Longtime fan and supporter here. You just keep getting better. My favorite YT channel. ❤ I'm so sorry this world was so incredibly cruel to Benjamin. He deserved so much better. Tragic story.
I have a 2 month old baby and the photos literally turned my stomach upside down. I run to my son as soon as I hear him cry, I can't imagine what that poor baby went through.
You are so professional in the way in which you relate the very sad story, about little Benjamin.
As a mom of a young child, this hits so hard how the hell do you do this or let this happen to an infant, there is a special place in hell for you!
As always an excellent presentation. Thank You! From an old lady in Northern California ❤
Such wilful neglect is horrendous, it’s the same as physical abuse in my opinion, rest in peace baby Benjamin ❤
It's just horrendous how this poor baby suffered before he died. The fact that he was murdered by his parents is bad enough but adding his suffering on top of that makes it all the more terrible.
