I'm a foster parent to a little girl that was parentified and was originally placed with her siblings but then moved due to sibling on sibling violence. It has been the best thing for her. For the first time in her life she's just a kid. She doesn't have to care for anyone but herself and is a only child for the first time since she was an infant. She is thriving. Separating kids isn't optimal but sometimes it is the best thing especially for parentified children.
This is such a great point of view that I honestly never thought about. Thank you for sharing.
As a family therapist, I want to say that, it is possible much of the time for work to be done with children like that. They don’t have to lose their siblings. The parentification (and some other issues) can be worked on successfully with therapy and with the help of the foster parents as well. Of course, it’s a case by case basis. But separation is not the only answer to situations like this.
@@BarbJohn-mn3in like I said in my post.... it's not optimal but "sometimes" it's for the best. No where did I say it's best for everyone or the "only answer to the situation"
As a foster parent I find the state wants siblings kept together so much of the time that they ignore warning signs of trouble between siblings .
As someone who was parentified to five other kids, it really affects development and relationships. No hobbies, no friendships, no extracurriculars, no weekends, no time for homework. It made me tough, decisive, hard-working, selfless, and responsible - but also lonely, bossy, restless, self-neglectful, and exploitable. Most of us are adults now; my siblings are close, but not to me. It's awkward when I'm around because I'm not Mom or Dad, but I've never been one of them. That's what hurts the most.
I was impressed when she asked, “Did you feel the child was coached?” and then followed it up with, “Do you agree that the person who coached the child couldn’t have been the father?” (Because the father is in prison). That was a deliberate and damning condemnation of the mother… on the record. I assure you that’s going to be used by the prosecution during the mother’s trial.
I love how efficient the CPS attorney is. She’s got her stuff together.
I haven’t finished watching this hearing yet but I just have to say this: the lawyer for CPS here was awesome. I like the way she was kind but stern with the father and explained things very well and made sure he understood what was happening. I applaud her for doing that.
that wasn't the father of the child that died. It was the father of Ms. Smith's oldest daughter they mention.
I also appreciated that he was included in the proceedings in the first place. The fact that they're treating a convicted prisoner with respect and allowing him to have input for his daughter's placement was a pleasant surprise!
This judge was really good with the dad on the phone. Such a sad case!
I just found your channel and I really appreciate the on screen commentary, and allowing the case to be viewed without interruption.
Special Investigator Parker comes across as a smart, humble and kind grandfather figure. Can’t imagine the things he has seen.
Plus stated that while he ran the archery shop he was in the police dept, so my assumption is (And was as soon as he opened his mouth) that he is a retired police officer as well.
A lot of retired officers take casual or part-time jobs like this after they leave the force.
I'm just starting to watch, but I'm already impressed with how he made a point to make the draw weight of the bow an issue of experience rather than gender (like the attorney was trying to do).
This attorney needs to settle down. She’s jumping the gun and interrupting. It’s annoying!
This case is a great illustration that we can't assume that keeping siblings together is always in the best interests of the children. Kids who are abused often take their anger and frustration out on 'weaker' children, including siblings. Just because siblings don't want to be separated, doesn't mean they shouldn't be in some cases.
Kids also very often want to stay with their abusive parents and feel punished when removed, but we don't allow them to make that call either. Even the kids who are being violent can benefit from separation from the victim-sibling, in conjunction with therapy to understand why they are hurting someone they love. This behavior has probably been learned from adult caregivers, and it takes time and space to change long-term attitudes and habits.
Exactly, sometimes siblings have to be separated and it doesn't mean always. It means they need to be able to work through their trauma, receive therapy and other services as needed. IF they don't separate kids acting out, it can be very dangerous and just opens up the possibility of another tragedy. Bless these kids, I pray they are able to heal from this and have the best life they deserve to have. NO child should have to go through this
I imagine that the younger girls beating up on the older child might be what they saw haw their father treated the child that wasn't his.
I adopted a large sibling group out of foster care, and am a coach / consultant for those wanting to adopt through foster care. I can fully agree that are situations where it is NOT in the children's best interests to keep sibings together in either a foster care placement or for adoption / permanency.
@@anitaconner8886 Especially when they have had different fathers. It creates a toxic family dymanic sometimes.
I was thinking that as well,they’ve been together all this time & the poor baby passed ,perhaps it’s time to separate & give the girls a chance to be their own little person 🤷♀️,it’s sad no matter what 😞….✌🏻
This is so awful. Happened 2 weeks ago, and I do give major kudos to family services getting things together for those children so quickly. I hope Mr Robinson realizes his life choices need to change pronto for the safety and well being of his daughter. Hope the other parents rot in hell. Poor baby Yana she was only about 9 months old. RIP Baby Girl.
You know what's weird, I think the father will probably do just that. He seems to understand the magnitude of the situation and he seems to be ready and willing to help and comply in any way he can. I think he's learned his lesson with this stint in prison and is ready to be a father. He didn't say much, and I don't know anything about him, but just based on his reactions to the questions and his demeanor, my gut tells me he's going to do well. I hope I'm right.
The baby was 7 months old! Rip baby girl!
Poor Davian. She sounds like the sweetest young girl. I really hope life gets better for her
This is so heartbreaking 💔.
I googled this little angel and seeing her picture with her beautiful smile … it’s haunting.
Im praying that the remaining children get the love that they need
😢 I did too. She was absolutely precious 😭
What did you google ? I can’t find it
@@sabrinawilliams749 Google, Yana Massengale.
A beautiful child ❤
All of her kids are so cute. Even the ones she gave up for adoption. She is also pregnant again. So many kids in this situation they aren't even speaking about. Her bf has some kids he and his ex don't have custody of either.
This was incredibly sad. I hope these girls get the help they need and never go back to their mother.
Kudos to all the unfortunate professionals that had to walk into this house of horrors.
So much respect for the GAL’s, the other attorneys, CPS caseworkers, the Judge, & all involved for the work they do. I’m so glad we get an inside view of this process, so very interesting but also at times, devastating. Happy the kiddos are in therapy & there’re many adults (even within the system) who are looking out for them! ❤
As someone in child welfare: dad is NOT being selfish at ALL for wanting his daughter to be with family. He wants her to be safe with people he feels he can trust. She’s also the oldest and is likely being put in a mothering position and been parentified, which is not healthy, especially not during traumatic grief. She would still be allowed contact with her siblings. Placing with family is actually preferred and while it does often mean separation, the court and dcbs usually work pretty hard to ensure kids have visits and time with their siblings.
I’m a foster mom and placing her with “family” she’s never known isn’t any different than placing her with complete strangers. It would be traumatic to separate her from other siblings even if she was playing a parental role. If she is in a good foster home that burden would be lifted while staying connected to the only family she knows right now. Plus she’s old enough to voice where she wants to be. Dad hasn’t been involved for many years and is now incarcerated. Who’s to say he’s looking out for his child’s best interest. He knows nothing about his daughter and what she may want nor is he considering it.
@@alys4570 as a guy who watches probably hundreds of hours of court a week, dad was being selfish....I'm not saying if it's wrong or right.. he may just want to be with his kid but that poor girl will feel like it's her fault and she is being punished of she is seperated
Keeping siblings together is important... she doesn't need to be with strangers right now.
@@alys4570 dad’s testimony said he was involved for the first four years so half her life and that his mom still had some contact. So even though she’s estranged from dad she may have family contact. He also said the lack of contact was not by his choice so we don’t know if parental alienation is a factor in which case it is best she get acclimated to his side of the family if his rights are to remain intact. If it is decided termination is in her best interest that is fine, but in a situation where there are different fathers, children are almost always going to be split up.
@@alys4570 she’s also being beaten up by her younger siblings and having to take on a parental role, that’s really harmful to her development.
The fact this baby's family was also involved in domestic abuse and a standoff (her paternal relative did the abusing & died in standoff as far as I can tell from web search) tells me perhaps there's dysfunction aplenty with the family as a whole.
The big question here is with an “extensive history with CPS,” why would those children even be in the custody of these parents? Clearly, some balls were dropped here and the result is not only some very screwed up children, but a dead child.
That was what I thought, but that seemed to be glossed over really really fast.
I had the same thought and that's probably why CPS seems so on top of it now, which is way too late.
That's why the mother kept moving. CPS was only 1 step behind and why they were ABEL to act so quickly w/o a court order as they were in pursuit of finding her for placement of all the children was already in place until the death of the child as the family they were to be placed with wanted no part of a murder investigation and everything that led up to it, the kids experienced it all and they are adversely affected as any young children would be unless they're the boy Jesus but Mary and Joseph were GOoD parents, right? so we need to make sure all children have GOoD parents and who better to tell us than CPS ...right? wrong .... but sometimes, they children do turn out to be good citizens as all gOVERnMEnt employees are not equal in education, experience, intentions, personal issues, etc. they're only human and we take the good with the bad
That is likely why a Special Investigator was brought in. He is outside the normal CPS chain.
@@feistybitchShe's not in that position because of _men._ She's in the position she is IN because she _CHOSE_ the men. She _HANDPICKED_ the fathers and the men she had around her children.
SHE screwed up and one of her kids is dead because of decisions _she_ made.
It’s very hard for me to imagine people like this have kids.
This child doesn't know her adult cousin but she also didn't know her foster parents. Also, maybe a little time separated might be good for her seeing Shes being beat up by others.
.
Exactly what I think
Yep I agree, and it sounds like dad is interested in stepping up after he gets out
This is beyond heartbreaking 💔
The “parents” are absolutely disgusting and karma is a B.
I hope the father gets his crap together.
Someone needs to do everything possible for the remaining children.
I just can’t imagine 😢
What an absolutely tragic case, I hope these girls are doing well.
49:22 dEFINITELY sounds like it would not be the WORST scenario to separate the child WITHOUT behavioral issues, so she no longer has to be the peacemaker. Wow.
Yes, separation in conjunction with therapy could help to break these violent patterns and help *all* the children to be safe while learning how to engage with each other in a healthy way. It's odd how they remove kids when they know their parents are violent, but they don't react with the same level of protectiveness when they know siblings are violent with each other. It can be just as damaging to be abused by any family member.
Mr. Massengale has 2 children with another woman and neither one of them have custody either. Shocked they didn't mention this.
I googled info and found mom’s fb. She couldn’t attend court for her dead child but could log in and play bingo on her phone 2 days ago. Wowww
Why didn’t she attend her child’s funeral?
@@danetspeaks8708 that too! Prob playing bingo
She did attend the funeral.
@@ChristaMichelle1991 I don’t know any cps jurisdiction that gives 72 hours to drug test. Here it is before the end of the day. If you’re told to test at 2 pm you best get there before 5. And this court hearing is BECAUSE of her child that died. How anyone can play bingo on their phone but not log in to court is beyond me. It sounds like y’all are enabling this tragic behavior making excuses for her and the conditions she raised those kids in
@@ChristaMichelle1991 interesting that you as an auntie are here making excuses instead of saving the babies! Nasty old drug addicts smh
In the smaller counties of Texas, the Texas Rangers are always called in on murder cases. The larger counties with metropolitan cities have the resources to investigate on their own.
This is a horrible, horrible case. The older girl obviously knows what happened to the baby. I don’t blame Dad for wanting her to be with his family. I understand for advocating keeping them together, but not at the cost of the older child.
The dad Robertson’s voice broke my heart after he learned of what his daughter has been and is now going through after Nugen spoke
Yet, he has gone for YEARS with no contact with his daughter, no contact of his family with his daughter and she wasn’t important enough for him to bother checking on her for years. His concern now is way too late. I feel no sympathy for him at all. That poor child has been through hell and no one on her father’s side, including the father, made any effort to check on her until another child died.
@@tarabeardAgreed
@@tarabeard he's been in prison for the last 5 years and the Mom has moved around and has had SEVERAL CPS removals, therefore no one is going to be getting him information, he's not the one who has a case against him for ⚰️a child like the degenerate mother, at least he has a chance to start over
@@tarabeard ANOTHER child?!?
Yea, I don’t feel one ounce of pitty for him. He’s made no effort to be a parent to his daughter. He’s sitting in a cell while his daughter is going through hell.
33:58 wanting YOUR child with family doesn’t make you a “selfish asshole“. Especially over being in a strangers home… It’s unfortunate, but I would also want my child living with HER family over a foster home.
Her sisters are her family... A cousin she's never met would be traumatic as well with everything she's going through. Blood isn't always thicker in my opinion
I’m torn, I see positives and negatives to both sides
@@OnTropolis agree 100% to the comment for many reasons
@@Getlostandwander I'm not biased, I never said I think strongly one way or the other in this case, and I even said in the video later on that it may be necessary. However, this father who hasn't seen her or spoken to her and doesn't even know her, because of HIS choice to harm people, is selfish. He isn't even aware of what she wants or is best for her. He certainly didn't help her to be in a good spot the last several years. Like I said, sometimes it may be necessary. That doesn't make it any less sad
From the sounds of it only the one child is his? And it’s very reasonable for a child to be placed with their family. The other children could go to someone who they’re related to as well if they were able to take them in, it’s not on people who aren’t related to them to take on extra mouths with no legal bond. In cases of child abuse depending on the circumstances it may be that the only way they can in fact heal their trauma is to be taken to a completely different situation for therapy, away from other abusers or victims. They stated the other children were violent so why would you consider leaving her with the other children who likely caused her harm? She deserves better and to heal with her families help who can show her love in a long term and meaningful way.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Oh my gosh, I heard of this case. That poor baby, thankfully the children are removed. I hope therapy, time and a loving home can help the other children.
I know that when my cousin's children were emergency removed I told the cps worker to remove the girls from the boys. The girls were caring for the boys as if they were the parents, and I told cps they needed to be kids. I had all five of them with us for three months, and I struggled to keep them from "parenting" each other. They have been adopted now into seperate houses. The girls are being kids again, and doing great. The boys are growing up well, too. All are safe. A sibling violence or "parenting" behavior is so sad. She probably is blaming herself for the baby's death, and it would not be her fault. 😢
I’m all for keeping these kids together, but if the older one is getting the snot beat out of her by the younger two, let her live with Mr Robertsons cousin.
Dad is not being selfish. He is asking questions as they popped in his mind. Because he is incarcerated, it going to be hard for him to get info or have control of anything.
He put himself there. It's absolutely selfish to try and dictate a child's life when he's failed to be there for her
He didn’t try to push any agenda on the court, his ONLY questions were regarding him not losing his daughter… and hopefully being able to contact her. Clearly the mother is a monster and has not done anything to benefit her children.
@@elizabeth84266 how is the father any less of a monster??
Atleast the Dad on the phone cares enough to try and get the children placed. I pray that this will make him stop and rethink situations, get his life in order and be the Dad that his daughter desperately needs.
@@teresafincher3413 Thank you ..Kudos to the DAD to at least be honest and came out to claim her even if his family will raise her until he comes out. It's never too late for a Dad ..
I like this CPS lawyer
Thanks for the heads up.
The father, in jail, yet is more concerned than the mother. His question about not losing rights to the child sounded like a desperate father trying to make sense of a senseless situation. The mother and husband should never be able to be near these kids. It would be nice to keep the girls together but what if in the future the mother gets custody? What if she tries to kidnap them? It has happened before in cases. The fact that the father is in prison does not mean he's not concerned or doesn't want the best for his child. Already the younger girls are bullying the girl.
Some should not be parents. Too many kids in horrible situations.
I and many other women have went thru absolute hell trying to convince and you have sorry excuse for mommas like this having these gifts left and right, and not appreciate the beauty of being a momma or the joy, MAKES ME SICK AND INFURIATED. I was lucky enough to be called momma and blessed twice, by the grace of God and I would never take that for granted. I hope these babies get the love, structure and family they truly deserve. May the Angel that passed away, truly receive love in heaven and watch over her siblings❤
Oh hell these parents were already involved with CPS ! Wow a ball was dropped here ! 😢
❤RIP sweet angel. Prayers for the other children they find a safe and permanent home so they have a chance to be successful.❤
Yes, whether a bow is a woman's or man's bow is VERY easy for a knowledgeable person to determine. Draw length & weight are very important as to whether a person can properly use a bow.
Irrelevant.
@@JanelleDianeHno, it isn't, and you clearly know nothing about archery.
Why was the bow question asked I wonder??
Seems like the comments were a little rough on the guy who actually did show up even though he is in prison…. Don’t know the whole story but looks like it’s his kid getting the crap beat out of her by the two other siblings … at least he tried to find a place for her to go… not sure he wants to be a dad or not, but from this video I don’t see him as the “bad person” in this case from this video….
I agree. I caught the emotion in his voice. He sounded alarmed when he asked if they were going to terminate his rights, and I have watched many other videos on this channel where a father who is incarcerated just doesnt have that emotion and concern even WHEN they are being terminated.
He's a meth head who beats women and locks their child in the car with him while trying to run over the mother. No lie. Don't be deceived by his voice.
The fact that he's in prison says otherwise.
Ha he's bored in prison. He doesn't know his child so this was nothing but him ĝetting out of cell to gossip for an hour. If there had been dope avail to do in his cell, he would've declined his zoom meeting. Deadbeat
The cps lawyer is awesome! Experience and preparation show.
Yana was the 6th child of Jasmine. There are 4 girls & 1 boy living, but I would've sworn they were only talking about 3 kids in placement? I could've missed somethin', though. Shoot! I'm a pretty darn good "Googler" but I can not find any news at all related to this case! The entire county has less than 8500 residents, but I'd have thought there'd be news stories. I found the obituary & memorial page. Heartbreaking, just heartbreaking
Yes, there was one child by the father calling from jail and two living girls by the same father of the deceased baby. They did say that baby mama had a long extensive history with CPS.
I also only found what you found.
@@sukiwatsonSomeone in the comments said the mother set up a gofundme. People are suspicious because she doesn't have custody.
I think the Mom had 4, and Dad has a son with someone else.
She was the 5th.
The CPS lawyer is talking so fast and in such a hurry to get to the next question she doesn’t allow the witness to answer! It’s annoying!
I want to hear about the case! As heartbreaking and gut wrenching as it is the details are important!
Agree,it’s almost dismissive & this is how these issues are not covered thoroughly ie;baby passing 😞,workers are overworked but this includes death,one might think,take ur time,a criminal case may be coming,details are sooo important 😞….✌🏻
Living in an RV Park with 4 children? I guess you could make it work for a short period of time if it was kept up. But this one sounds like a nightmare.
We are not “Indian children” We are Native Americans. Indians live in India.
I am Irish,but was surprised at that too.Uneducated statement,and so disrespectful.💚
@@trishaprett7721ICWA (the Indian child welfare act) is a law so it’s not a statement.
The act is named by native Americans. Many of who still refer to themselves as Indian tribes. The Indian child welfare act is governed by indigenous people, who haven't ever petitioned to change it

Olney woman arrested in child death at RV park
Wed, 12/06/2023 - 11:00pm
By:
Gina Keating | Editor
A 27-year-old Olney woman was arrested on a charge of criminally negligent homicide in the death of her eight-monthold child in a local recreational vehicle park in March. Olney police were called to 104 E. Springcreek Rd. on March 29 to assist with an unresponsive child, according to a press release by the Texas Department of Public Safety and OPD.
OPD Chief Dan Birbeck and Detective Dustin Hudson “were suspicious of the circumstances and called the Texas Rangers to assist,” the release said. A Young County Grand Jury reviewed the case and returned an indictment against Jasmin Alexis Kay Smith for criminally negligent homicide on Nov. 20, the statement said.
Ms. Smith was arrested in Jack County two days later, the statement said.

It is interesting reading the comments about the cousin vs Foster Care placement situation, I am a little torn myself.
I can see how Davian may interalize being away from her siblings, and she may insist she doesn't want to be separated, however childern do not always know what is best for them, which is why we do not place them in the types of positions where they are making life altering decisions.
My instinct is telling me that Davian only has one childhood that is slipping by, she should be given the opportunity to be a child, not be Mother Hen to her siblings, and be abused at their hands.
Give the cousin a chance, with close supervision.
If child services hadn't allowed the children remain in the home from when they first got involved the baby might still be alive.
A judge can certainly decode in a custody hearing that either parent cannot live with another adult, and if one parents new significant other has a history of violence that person can be specifically excluded from living or being with the children.
How sad. Small world this is where i was born. Olney young county Texas
They may not even know these children (this child) but the foster parents didn't either. Doesn't make them bad, just one is blood related and there other isn't.
The one question i would have asked as a parent is what is best for my child?
It's amazing to me how this question is over looked by parents.
Wow!!!!
I find it VERY SUSPICIOUS that the video footage of her trailer was unavailable because the cameras weren't functioning. I bet Mr. Massengill paid off the owner of the trailer park.
And you don't think they didn't check his phone records for location history? They didn't even have facts that she's an expert hunter!
As for the bow and arrow...there are different bows that women use because they're not as physically strong as men. It's REALLY difficult...there's no way that woman was using that bow.
My husband and son are both archers and when he mentioned the weight draw he estimated on that bow, he's correct, no woman would be drawing back that weight.
She wasn't drawing it back it was set for our father who passed.
I grew up around archery equipment and my parents had very different bows. Now the expert couldn't say for sure who owned it based solely on the size, but they can say who wouldn't use it. The witness wasn't making any big assumptions and I get so annoyed when creators doubt someone who was qualified as an expert without providing any information that they think the expert wasn't taking into account.
When I just heard about how the 2 were beating up on that one child I just started crying. These kids are so hurt and angry….it’s unbelievable how much hurt and anger they must be feeling. If these kids are not helped in an extensive way now I’m afraid they will grow up with the same feelings and treat their own kids same way if they have any. It’s so beyond sad these kids have to live this life….for any child to live it.
Absolutely the cycle will just continue if this behavior is not addressed, though it sounds like it is as the girls are in therapy.
I was wondering how they interact with children outside the home? Like friends they may have had for example, I hope their are plenty of qualified counselors at that summer camp, so there aren't issues with other children.
heartbreaking
💔💔💔😭😭😭RIP little angel
If you haven’t looked up
Yana Michelle Massengale the sweet baby who passed , I couldn’t find in any investigation going on after the baby died . Not one article nothing :/ so sad .
I didn't catch the date that the child passed. This is a horrible tragedy in many ways. Obviously the children are so much better off without their mother and the other monster that lived with them. As these kids get older they will realize that their baby siblings life was taken by mom or dad or both. This is so sad.
March 29th :(
@@OnTropolisGut wrenching...
I think Dad is trying to understand everything not being an a$$
I haven't watched this video/case yet..just read the warning in the description...I am not sure if I can get through this one.. but am glad people are putting this sad truth out there. There are TOO many missing children's/m*rder cases out there.. and unfortunately that number seems to be rising with every year.
So sad 😢
It’s so sad the only parent who was at the hearing was they dad in prison. I hope he’s able to have a relationship with his daughter
52:13 did she say the step dad had a “history of reason to believe SA with CPS”? Or was I hearing things? 😢
Poor baby. How sad.😢😢
Re archery - it is something he’d be able to estimate. A 50lb draw on your finger tips is incredibly heavy, and it’s really unlikely that someone with no experience could use it on a long bow. 25lb is a good starting weight for women. That weight is what they require for moose and bears.
The bow belonged to her father and she's an expert at hunting.
They hunt boars.
@@feistybitchshe's an expert at drugs and slutting around😅 lmao trashy momma has a trashy trailer trashy hobby and trashy lifestyle that killed her kud!!!
I live in north Texas and this makes me sad
This is going to be really sad.
Rest in Peace little angel 😇
For goodness sake. The man is in prison. When he gets out his work selections aren’t going to be great. He has one child and she may have behavioral issues. The other two kids definitely have behavioral problems. This guy has sketchy self control in the first place. He should have to carry the burden of his exes children
Bows have settings that are set based on age, strength, etc. Thats why the investigator can say with some confidence that the bow in the home is not likely to belong to a female.
Have there been any updates on this case?? Thanks!!
I understand the irritation with Ms. Rush and her way of speaking but I think if I had seen what she has, especially in this case where a baby passed away, I'd speak in a similar manner.
This was heartbreaking to hear, not only of the passing of a precious baby girl but what those sweet girls have had to endure. All because their loser of a “so called mother” chose a loser and monster “boy” (he isn’t a man!) over her little girls! I truly hope and pray that the father of the oldest girl is able to turn his life around, step up, and be the best father and parent he can be. It’s time for her to be a little girl and not a babysitter/mother at her age, let alone be beat up repeatedly by her younger sisters! I hope and pray these little girls can all heal from the trauma their abusive parents put them through and allowed them to see. God bless them
Please show or give us updates on this case if possible. Thank you
Does anyone have an update on this case? I’m searching and all I could find is the previous baby’s funeral announcement.
I know Mom was arrested for criminally negligent homicide. I couldn't find any more details though
These poor children, they deserve so much better! What is wrong with people?

Those poor children
Whole thing sounds like a suspicious death... yet nothing in press about it except for an obituary (about 9 months ago).

Natural causes.
A child killed in the home 7 months old I would never allow those parents rights to those children ever again!
She wasn't murdered. Autopsy has came back. Guess what my sister has never been arrested I hope you never wake up to a dead baby
S i d is more common than you appear to know I’m a nurse I know how many times it happens don’t judge when you don’t have the facts
Some of the questions these people have to ask blow my mind!!! “Do you agree the child should not be placed with the father in prison?” I want to see the father disagree and tell them “As the biological parent, the child needs to bunk with me in prison.”
I realize that no 'cause of death' has been released yet, but I can only imagine... Was this baby 'shot with an arrow'? (either accidentally or intentionally)... The start of this case, focusing on the long bow & whether or not mom was strong enough to shoot one... Horrible case, no matter what, both mom & dad of deceased baby need to be held accountable. PERIOD.
I think that bit about the bow and arrow was to point to the fact that a male was around and living at the home at the time of the baby's death. Given the CPS history, and the father of the last three children's criminal history, it could be that the only reason mom had custody back was that the baby daddy had to stay away. I think they were trying to prove that along with the video footage etc.
She passed of natural causes.
Um, the dad is NOT selfish for wanting the kids to be placed with family.
Does anyone know if there is an update on this case? Where did the children get placed? Is the father out of prison?
Did i miss something. Who is the lady in the living room ?
Finally a CPS worker who actually cares and does her job to protect these children.
Well- CPS does their job once the child dies. They don’t really care about them if they are alive.
Ms Rush sure likes to Rush ...🤔
Oh that poor Daveon spelling probably wrong , I am thinking it might be good for her to be separated . I all for keeping kids together but maybe not this time . These kids have been through the wringer .
What made the biological father an a hole. Unless you have been in his position u got no right to say that in such a crazy situation what are u supposed to do what is a parent supposed 2 choose yes being with siblings isnt always better and what if the father firmly believes the child is safer with his family whats the best decision a question your child is safe or be with a sibling? You get to make judgements on a pedestal calling that guy an a hole looking down on him sure ur opinion is understandable until you call that guy a selfish a hole in front of millions of people and a lot will feel they know more about a situation getting a glimpse through a 15 minute video and on top of that you get siblings attacking one another love your channel and appreciate your work please dont stop its just a criticism another perspective
He failed his kid by being unavailable because of his decisions. He gets to make decisions from a cell that will separate her from everyone she knows and loves? He should be taking care of her, so yes I think he's selfish.
That said, there are times when separation is better.. very few times, but they do exist. My opinion is he doesn't get to choose for a kid he completely failed
@@OnTropolisEveryone makes mistakes, especially in their younger years. It's easy to judge when we don't have all the information.
R.I.P lil angel. 🙏.
Who is the Victoria Correa woman? The one directly under the judge? I was crocheting as I was listening to this, and I don't believe I heard her speak or what her role in this whole case is.
I found her on a docket for Wichita Falls. It looks like she might be a CASA Worker.
I’m very confused. Obituary says father is Lewis Massengale of Jacksboro Texas. But on October 16, 2021 there was a standoff in Jacksboro Texas where a man named Lewis Massengale was found dead after he assaulted 2 women, one needing to be airlifted to another hospital. Is the father a jr?
My take is the 48 yr old was the grandfather. Dad is the III.
Does anybody have a link on the case of Yana Massengale? All I can find is her obituary, and it's clearly lies. I can't find a case on Lewis Massengale, or at least the one in this case. Would appreciate if anyone has anything!
I think nothing has been charged yet. They said "suspicious circumstances". My presumption is they're investigating now and something may happen later.
I think many nasty posts,on this story.Sadly the world is very judgemental,without knowing facts.Condolences,on the loss of Yana.In many cases people make decisions,without thinking about walking in a Mother’s shoes.
Mom was arrested for criminally negligent homicide but I can't find any more than that
I wonder who Victoria Correa is…she nodded at the end when judge mentioned grief counseling. She also smiled when Robertson spoke closer to the end.
Idk but she blinks way too much
I was wondering too. She was busy chewing at the beginning, I wondered if she was somehow related to the parents, but she just seemed to be an observer?
I was wondering too
😢😢😢😢😢😢
when she said 'when i knew you, you had hair' he should have said 'when i knew you, you weren't fat'.
Lawyer Rush needs to slow her roll down its almost impossible to understand her.
Had the mother gone to trial yet?
