Her biological father did not want her when he was told of the pregnancy and he had the cojones to receive a settlement when he never saw his daughter when she was alive. What a shame this world we are living in.
That wasn't even her bio dad. Her mom was hopping from man to man so fast it gets confusing but according to the family, the bio dad left right after Nixzmary was born and then the guy (Brown) 'adopted' Nixzmary and her mom gave her his last name.
Her biological father getting a $750k settlement is absurd and disgusting. He did not deserve a dime for having abandoned Nizxmary even before she was born. I tell you, the “justice” system is so corrupt and slow to act. It’s what has this world upside down.
I can't help wondering what would have happened if Nizxmary's biological mother were involved if she would be awarded a $750K settlement. I haven't watched the video yet, but am about to.
The fact that good parents get cps called on them all the time for grudges and have their children removed from good homes and children who are brutalized and abused are deemed safe in these environments has always infuriated me. Make it make sense!!
It the same over here (I’m in the UK), it’s shocking. Such a beautiful precious child 😢. Makes me sick, children are a blessing. They’re plenty of people that can’t have children that would welcome these children with open loving arms.
I live in Israel, it's the same here. Of course there had never been such a horrible cases like in America but still the same shameful and corrupted actions of social services.
The ACS is backwards, believe me I know. I got full custody of my son when his mother was not acting right. He was 3 months old at the time and I never looked back. He's 35 now and doing just fine, shout out to all the people within my community that assisted me with the paperwork. Thank you Clay Avenue Residents and neighbors. One Love 💕
I can’t understand the mother. I broke up with my ex because I found out he shouted at my son. Literally kicked him out and never saw him again. How can they let these men beat their babies.
I literally left my ex because my son didn't like the way he treated me and my son was right ,in listened to my son and I'd kill any man that lay hands on my kids hell noooo I don't understand women who choose a men over there kids like why,my kids life is my pride and joy! !!!!
It amazes me how some women have the audacity to bring different men around their children yet let these children stay with them at the house while they run errands like wtf is wrong with them?!
The mother should be Arressted for allowing her daughter to be physically abused by her stepfather and did nothing to prevent it. That is called being an asserey to a crime against a child. Where were fuc..... Child services law enforcement Unbelievable this happend and NOONE CARED. Hope all concerned have a tormented life. 👿
It was reported that Nixmary's mother was beaten up by her fellow inmates upon her arrival to jail. I would have a hard time not cheering them on if I was working there as a CO.
What's even more disturbing is that the mom participated in the abuse and torture because she was jealous her daughter was being molested by her husband. Absolutely disgusting.
@@Yvette-tk2futhat is why as disturbing as it is why some "moms" never report the abuse because they know but they have a odd jealously towards their child so instead they allow torment. It's sad all in all and wish things were different but they will be dealt with upon their death and will need to answer for their wrong doings..
29 years for torturing and killing a child? WTF That should have been an automatic death penalty or at least life in prison. Why are we so lenient towards these murders?!
They got the maximum sentences for their respective charges (though the mother's was later shortened to 36 years). Since the murder was not premeditated, it counted as second-degree murder which by law is not punishable by death or even life in prison. The victim being a child somehow doesn't have a special type of charge around it nor upgrade it to first degree murder (which requires premeditation). It's actually insane.
I just cried my eyes out over her words: "Mommy dont leave me." My daughter is fast asleep next to me in bed right now and I hugged her firmly while crying. This is one of the most heartbreaking things that exist: child abuse.
@@stephanietobler3770 possibly but to be fair they didn’t come from good areas. All the people in the story were poor with maybe the exception of Brown whom wasn’t spoken of much
The bio-dad should NOT have been given anything from the state or anyone else because he never wanted her and never took care of her. He made out like a bandit on the daughter he never wanted anything to do with. Disgusting!!!!
Well... There is no need to date, you simply could have married some decent man who was willing to have a family. I never remarried because I didn't want to, but now my oldest is 17 and I'm about to marry an American man who is willing to adopt all three of them.... My greetings.
@@user-ru1ki nooo you don't remarry. Almost 70% there is no acceptance of those children. Men lie well, until you marry them and abuse your daughters!! If you women choose to bring babies into this world raise them! Its your responsibility not the new man. My moms husband did the same thing to me. After knocking her up and traping her ... he went after me! You women need to realize no man really wants to raise another mans child!! Your a step child your biological kids are always treated with unconditional love. Its reality even if you don't agree. Most families are like that. Raise your own kids. Kids shouldn't have a stranger man and or step new kids. Mothers and their boyfriends need to be charged.
@@user-ru1kiso you just married someone without getting to know them first? The person above is not implying that she was going to start dating a whole bunch a men. But she did need to meet someone and date him, get to know him THEN marry him!
@@clarabellem7916 Not so long ago there was no such thing as dating, like by our grandparents and even parents. People just knew whether it was the right match or not and thus were getting married. Even now by so many ethnic groups and cultures dating doesn't exist like Arabic sector, Orthodox or Ultra-orthodox Jewish sectors, Ethiopian sector and many more. I dated my fiance for three years many years ago but eventually haven't gotten married, dated my first husband a little, never dated the second one and both of them are history. So basically, it doesn't matter whether you date or not because if it is a wrong person dating or not dating doesn't change a lot because you need an eternity to fully understand another person's soul...
Her biological father was and did nothing but refuse her. The other gentleman who helped raise her appears to have been crying his eyes out, claiming child services had an entire year to protect and allowed her to be killed. He was probably the only real daddy figure in that little angel's life. If anyone deserved money for the loss it would be him not the soerm donor.
Yes I could tell by his face bin there before trust me he had love that little Angel an wasn't nothing he really could've done 😢so i know it hurts him so badly hope he finds some type of peace in this cruel world R i p Angel all u wanted was love🕊💔
Lowlifes like this are able to procreate and many couples who are desperate for children, because of medical conditions, cannot fulfill their dreams. May this beautiful angel rest in eternal love, peace and happiness. What a tragedy.
That money should have gone to some charitable fund for children on her behalf. That creature abused her by not being there to protect her and they should have deducted unpaid child support from that final amount.
My mother would use this case to threaten me with abuse when I was a kid. That woman was vile and my first bully. Once you know hatred from a parent especially your mother, the world is never the same.
Sounds like my momma and daddy ! They were both abusive ! My daddy even tried to hit me in my 20s after I finally came down to visit the family ! He was used to me being a punching bag !
Deadass. Mine would act like she wasnt abusive and say that shes not doing shit like this to me because THIS was abuse. There are some sick people in the world
Terrible mother. She fought to have that baby, only for her to allow a man to abuse her, but to participate in the abuse as well. Disgusting excuses for human beings. RIP, little princess, no one can hurt you anymore.
She was no mother. She was an incubator. She is an unnatural demonic monster disguised as a human. Real mothers would DIE for their children in a heartbeat!
I went to school with Nixzmary. She was in my class. She was such a beautiful kind person and we became friends. She was such a bright light of sunshine everytime she came into school. The day her death was announced all of us were so shocked by what happened, and we had a trip to her funeral for all of us to say our last goodbyes. I couldn’t even get the words out seeing her in that casket since we became close, i literally bawled seeing this come down my feed just now. Nixzmary, I miss you soooo much and I wish those monsters didn’t take you away so young💔 she was so innocent she didn’t deserve any of the things she went through..
Im so sorry for this. I was 9 years old when the news came out. I remember being truamatized when hearing the news of what happened. She wouldve been 26 now
What goes thru a full-grown adult's head when they are closed-fist bashing on a tiny child? What is the thought process that justifies that level of brutality? I can't wrap my mind around it... Thank you for the empathetic and respectful portrayal of this poor sweet baby's plight. It's just nauseating to know there are children out there going thru torture every day in silence. I want to rescue them all 😢
None of her family members checked on her or made sure she was ok? The neighbors never heard her screams or cries for help? Everyone failed this little Angel. RIP Nixzmary💖👸🏻💖
I remember from when this case was going on that her grandma (mom’s mom) wanted to take her to Puerto Rico with her but she didn’t have money for the ticket. A poor excuse in the big pic
I was a NYPD cop (4 years on the job in the Bronx) at the time, I remember how much this case shook me. There is so much child abuse and neglect in the city. I would do child emergency removals all the time. Sometimes one a week. During my just over 14 years on patrol, I physically held three dead babies. For all my time in that hell, I still don’t know if there’s a God, but I can sure tell you there are demons. Thank you for this series, thank you for focusing on the victims. As a police officer, it was often extremely frustrating to see how the media gathers around the perpetrator. The victim often times becomes the prop in their effort to sell more newspapers. New York City is very Purp friendly and the good people are the ones who actually have to do the suffering.
So sorry you have to experience all of that. Hopefully you have gotten some therapy because things like this have to take a toll words can’t even explain.
These innocent babies deserve so much better! Atleast those cases you worked on actually had someone who cared about their well-being. That makes a world of difference compared to the many ppl who overlook the abuse going on. I hope that you are/was able to get some form of therapy, as the person above 👆🏽 my comment stated, much love and healing to you.
Yea you could clearly see in all her photos that she was sad. Even the ones with her smiling seemed like an act. I envision her mother behind the camera telling/forcing her to smile.
Only God/Jesus gives blessings and He already gave her a place in Heaven why would she need blessings from sinners? Yal prove yal dont read the Bible for jack. Just be making up nice things with no real meaning
@@thomasmcintosh2977 when someone says they send blessings they don't mean they send blessings directly. It's pretty much another way of saying "God bless you" meaning they pray for God to bless you.... Hope that sums it up negative Nelly.
I cannot, cannot understand mothers watching their own flesh and blood be treated that way by a boyfriend.. The mother needs to be put UNDER the jail for allowing this to happen to this beautiful baby... I am in tears right now listening to what he did to her.. The system literally failed her. They kept calling and calling to get her help and they did nothing..
NYC child protection services is horrible. I was these little girls but i was lucky to be saved. Child protection services did nothing for me nor did my school. I attended the same school as lisa steinberg. These stories hit close to home for me. thank you for letting the world know about them. they will never be forgotten.
This absolutely infuriated me. The line at nixmarys funeral was a constant 2 blocks longs. I stood in line for about 2 hours and as I got closer to the lil girls casket. I got hysterical and so upset I thought I was going to pass out. How can there be such evil in this world.
My God, she was absolutely beautiful!! With those gorgeous almond shaped eyes 😢 Such a precious little angel. You can see the pain behind her eyes. I just don’t understand at all how a mother can do this to her child. 😢
Nixzaliz Santiago did nothing to help her daughter, when Cesar Rodriguez killed Nixmary while punishing her for taking a Jell-O pudding out of the refrigerator
This is sickening that school teachers are too afraid to tell. The system failed her. This man was sexually, emotionally and physically torturing a beautiful baby girl
That's what I was thinking he should have gotten the death penalty and she should have gotten a life sentence. We are WAY too late lenient on these monsters. And as long as WE are, they will NEVER stop torturing children like this. There will be another one and another one and another one.
@@suzannenichols6900 in my opinion, I think life in prison would be more fitting for both of them. Let them rot in jail, and be treated like a prisoner for the rest of their pathetic lives. Maybe while they're in prison, they can get a good beating just like they did to poor little Nixzmary...
@@JH-CarbonOh please 🙄 If they are in prison there's the chance of them getting out one day and they're pampered in prison. They need to experience the same thing they did to their victims. Action by action.
@Diamind if they would have gotten life in prison, it would have taken a couple of years for them to get an opportunity for parole. That is IF they got life in prison with a chance of parole. And by the time, they get out, they will probably be in their elder years. And even if they got out, their lives wouldn't be the same again, because mostly everyone would know who they are and treat them like trash, so it doesn't make a difference. If they get the death penalty they'll get a quick and easy death. Sometimes, they don't even stay behind bars for that long either. Do you really think that's a good enough punishment for what they did? If you say yes, then there's something wrong with you...
This story right here took me out!!! This baby was the reason why I was so over protective of my son who was born in 2003. I cried for days for her. I think about her to this day. The system failed this baby, her mother and father failed her!! Everyone failed her!! 💔🕊🌹🙏🏽
As a former Greene Ave resident, I remember for years after this not even wanting to walk on that block. I remember my mom being so sad but also so angry when this was all over the news. All these years later, it still makes me sad but with the sadness there is also confusion and disbelief that people can be this evil and that a mother's actions/inactions can be so far removed from what should be her natural instinct to protect her child. Protecting their young is a trait that is even basic to wild animals, wtf?!?
I stumbled upon your channel about an hour ago. I… have no words, or possibly too many for one TH-cam comment on a video that’s a year old. Your productions (the two I’ve seen so far, I’m definitely going to remedy that) are simply astounding. You provide remembrance, dignity, awareness, and a deep look into horrifying subject matter with grace and respect. Thank you for bringing this to us, for all our sakes. Truly. Thank you for doing what you do. You do it well, and you do the victims justice. 🖤
The settlement is ridiculous for the biological father. He did nothing. He jumped very quickly to the opportunity to do the "lawsuit" so he can live his life to the fullest while his child doesn't. Those 2 monsters needed the electric chair if it were available back then
I remember this case as a teenager from Brooklyn. Everyday I would watch the news and see the details of this horrific case. Now as a mom of 2 girls in my 30s what Nixzmary went through brings tears to my eyes and a deep sorrow to my soul.
I'm horrified, look at the face of that little angel. I have twin 8-year-old daughters & I'd die if anything happened to them. This little girl was so precious.
Has anyone else, ever developed a profound urge, to raise a cinder block & repeatedly bash someone’s head in until that head looked like spaghetti? There are certain unforgivable trespasses which guarantee a person/monster eligible for this punishment. If only . . . . R.I.P sweet Nixzmary😔
Are you serious? The biological father who never cared to be there in the first place received 3/4 a million dollars? That’s absolutely infuriating. Almost as much as the case itself.
Karma is going to get him! He didn’t even try to visit her and make sure she was ok or have someone check on her? To make sure his baby was ok ? She had No one i don’t understand she is a child any sexual things are definitely not her fault they are learned from adults!they should be dead ! Not her
@@craigimethe man who stepped up and took care of her as his own; gave her his last name and treated her like his own, he should have received the money not the biological father. The biological father didn’t even want her.
How could her own mum let a man do this to her own daughter she can never call yourself a mother. That little girl She so pretty, she safe with JESUS now 🙏🏼
I don’t consider myself an evil person or a person that would want to see someone killed, but I would absolutely watch the scumbag mother and POS of a man that did that to her suffer the exact same fate as that poor child went through…
I remember this baby. I also remember walking pass the building Nitz lived in on the way to Tompkins Park and being physically ill to the point we stopped walking in that direction😭 I didn’t know her personally, but she has always stayed in my heart.
Unlike other stories featured on this channel and in our local NYC News, neighbors DID call and ACS STILL dropped the ball. Disgraceful. It’s infuriating. She’s buried near me. I’m going. Just Wow.
29 years is not enough for this monster; if you can harm an innocent kid what else wouldn't you do? The way this case ripped my heart apart...it's unbearable! What kind of mother would let that happen to her child? I have so many questions, I'm feeling so much pain. The nerves of that pendejo of a father who met the child in her coffin to receive a settlement for her death, gosh I'm enraged!!!! Rest in perfect peace sweet little angel.
I will never forget her name. I wasn't that much older than he and I couldn't understand how someone could kill a child over yogurt? Thank you for providing the forensic photos. Though on a normal day, i would not want to see it, I felt I had to see to truly try to understand what she had went through. Also, shame on that dad for taking that $750k. You wanted nothing to do with her yet you felt it was right to take settlement money for her. Also, CPS FAILED THAT CHILD. COMPLETELY FAILED. S/O to the adults in her life that put themselves in harms way to ty to protect her.
I absolutely understand. I know these can be very raw and hard to watch. The truth is I need for people to truly understand and feel this so they can get so moved by it that there's no way anything like this could ever be ignored. Current day issues have definitely taken attention away from these children these days. There were THREE deaths just like this last summer along with babies in this city. Just last month it happened again when a mom dropped a bed on her nine year olds head. You hear nothing about it because they're very busy talking about every other issue BUT this. I truly feel that now might be the worst time for children who are in and out of the system. Its terrible.
@@EvilIntentions it’s crazy because people predicted that abuse of kids and women were going to go up due to the pandemic but yet they refused to highlight it. I honestly thought that it wasn’t as bad as they were going to predict but now I am hearing from you that they just aren’t showing that. It’s very disheartening when especially black and brown people are not getting the coverage they deserve.
@@A-Noodles Yep exactly. Once they pulled kids out of school for remote learning in NYC, reports of child abuse dropped by 50% which is SCARY. That wasn't because it wasn't happening. It was due to kids not being in school and teachers unable to report injuries to proper authorities. So basically the kids were stuck with abusive ass parents and nobody to report it since neighbors are notoriously terrible at reporting. Not all just a lot. One of the main sources of injuries reported are teachers. So once they're out the equation its a dead end for these children. Imagine being a teacher in 2019 who had been reporting these kids and their injuries, and then classes resuming to normal and finding that some of those kids aren't even alive anymore in 2021. Absolutely terrible. If I fail at ANY JOB I'm fired. I dont understand how children die, nothing changes and the system remains the same. Every time they "dismantle the system" and start new its the same thing all over again. Lisa steinbergs death changed nothing. Neither did Daytwon Bennetts or Elisa Izquierdos or Nixzmary Browns. They use these poor babies as the new faces of severe child abuse, they get put in the hot seat for a little while and then it fades away until the next severe case appears. It'll never stop if it isn't addressed. Its the worst thing I've ever seen and it just never stops.
We need to start giving these people longer sentences like life sentences for that kind of abuse and/or DEATH sentences. THEN they wouldn't be hurting these children. BUT UNTIL WE DO, they're going to continue to harm kids because these sentences are not scary nor harmful enough. And the only pain they care about is their own so they will continue to harm children because WE as a Society are NOT tough enough on them.
@@suzannenichols6900 Life sentences is fine. But also need to be with the rest of the inmates, and they need to know what the monster did. The inmates should be rewarded for torturing the monster as long as possible too, without it dying.
These demons deserve to get the death sentence, a slow painful death like they dealt this poor little girl. How can a human being be so cruel to any child or any living thing.
I was 12 when this happened and it rocked me so hard I had a nightmare as if I was watching the night of her death. Hearing the details of her life and the inaction of whatever name ACS went as back then, pushed me to want to be a social worker. I’m almost 30 and graduating this summer with my masters in social work. I work with adolescents here in NYC many of those that are left homeless without resources once they age out of ACS foster care. I can tell you even now, ACS don’t give af about these kids. They only do just enough to keep out of the news.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on receiving your grad degree. The negligence within these agencies is unfortunately global, and processes, procedures, protocol and laws need to be changed to provide more safety and security for these children but also more legal ramifications including jail time and job termination for those ignoring or neglecting these children
And they even faill to achieve the bare minimum at that. God bless you for caring and working hard just to be able to make a positive difference in a child's life 🙌🤝
Ok....She caught her daughter 🤬 so she had to go....NOT YOUR BABY WAS BEING VIOLATED AND THAT MONSTER TAKING YOUR BABIES INNOCENCE AWAY HAS TO GO BUT SHE HAS TO GO....I can't even believe this is real what is with these weak azz so called moms...
I don’t understand how these women allow men to abuse their children. My own husband and father of my children raises his voice at our kids and I make sure I stop him from just raising his voice. Never will I ever let anyone abuse my children in my presence. Poor child.
I couldn't get thru half of the video without hysterically crying I can't believe that they did this to that gorgeous baby girl I'm tremendously hurt can't stop crying this is horrific and I love love love love this channel and your content and we thank you for it
Her mother horribly failed her. Rodriguez was beating that little girl because she belonged to another man. Damn, Mom could have reported that monster at school and asked for help they would have placed them in a shelter for battered women. I remember Nixmary it was a horrible situation for that poor baby girl. Rest in Peace little angel. The monster, you called mommy, failed you and she will pay for it.
I remember seeing this on the news and in the papers… I was in high school when this happened … that shit had me so mad … I’m surprised both the step father and mother aren’t dead in prison and they got off light because 30-36 years ain’t enough… they should’ve gotten life
This hit home, stories like this one hits hard because i was one of the lucky ones that survived abuse from the person that gave birth to you a person that should protect you is the one that causes you physical and emotional pain that last a life time. A person that should protect you a so call “mother” is the one that will do you the most harm and been a kid you don’t understand why because you do and act the same way your siblings act and they get all the love,protection, food and care but you get the opposite you get the beatings even tho you didn’t do nothing or she was just mad and the abuse the marks in your face the ones she use to tell me to lie in school and with my friends i had to tell them i had fallen or suffocating me sitting in my face with a pillow every time i thought i was going to die among other things,i was terrified but it was my mother and i loved her so i was so confuse of why she was doing these things when i loved her a little kid always love their mom but i was so confuse of why she was doing these things to me. At age 15 i couldn’t take it no more and i ran away from home and never went back, needless to say i haven’t talk to her since and now im 42. Im sorry to write this here but i been holding to this for yrs. And seen things like this brings so many memories back in mind. RIP little girl and rest assure that God will not forget about you when that time comes.
i can relate, i was taken from my mom due to her drug addiction and put to live with her friend through the courts. This woman was straight evil, thank God for my father saving me and my sisters. i really think she would have killed me. May God continúe to bless you
Hello my Dear as well have had numerous conversations about child abuse, no child deserves to suffer. Children lay down and die, like NixzMary last three words was Mommy…..Mommy…..Mommy on the cold floor in January while dying Nixzzy still cried out for her Mommy as she was foaming at the mouth she died. Children love their parents or family members until the end. So sad. I know what being a victim feels live. Thank God we survived to make a difference. You are awesome and I am so sorry for your horrible experiences thank God you try to save yourself.
She weighed barely 36 lbs, stood at 45 inches tall, the autopsy revealed that she had ligature marks on her wrists and ankles, bruises in various stages of healing, 2 black eyes
Both of them should get life. They are not humans but monsters. Only monsters have no heart. How could a person beat up an innocent child who could not defend herself at all, and she had done no harm? The justice system in New York is still unjust.
The social workers including the bosses should ALSO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE and be jailed at least a decade when this happens. It’s wrong for anyone knowing about it and they don’t do shit. My heart breaks not only as a human but especially as a mother! 😢
I drove from North Carolina just to attend her funeral. I did not know her but when I heard her story, I could not have not gone. I am a black woman and was asked several times how did I know the family because I was crying so hard that I couldn’t breathe at one point. When I told those that had asked, I didn’t know any of them, that I drove from NC and that I was there because of how she was failed by the system, her parents and anyone that knew what was happening but didn’t step up for Nixzmary and because of her death, every person that asked me gave me the biggest hug and invited me to their homes for dinner. I didn’t attend anyone’s home because I didn’t know any of them and I value my safety and life. I wish that I did know the family because I would have happily cared for Nixzmary. She would have never wanted or needed for anything, she would have been shown so much love. And she would have had a big sister that would have treated her as a biological sibling. I truly hope that her egg donor and that worthless POS don’t make it out of jail. They both should have received life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. R.I.H Nixzmary. You are still thought of and loved.
Why in earth they got sentenced with SECON DEGREE murder?! 😭 It was OBVIOUSLY first Degree murder!!! Rest in pece little angel, you are in a better place now ! ❤️🙏🏽 No one will ever hurt you again! 💔
This shit breaks my heart especially because I have a little girl…wow smfh. I’m gonna go home and just cuddle with my daughter. you are supposed to love and protect your babies!
Some women shouldn’t be able to reproduce. This broke my heart. She was viewed in the church that’s right outside my window. I hate women who hurt their children
I literally lived the next block from this beautiful baby girl and everyone in the neighborhood was so heartbroken and tore up behind this! RIP BABY GIRL😢
They both should of gotten death sentences. No child should ever have to go through that. You're supposed to love your children. I hope they die for what they did to that child. Excuse my bluntess. I'm just upset.
I will never forget this Horrific story.. I cried like a baby for months after this happened. Even tried to make her service but couldn't make it. 💔💔💔💔
I appreciate you showing the real raw footage so people can see what really goes on but this was so terrible prayers lifted to the most high for the young girl
You’re doing one hell of a job with these stories man. I stumbled up on your youtube account and i’ve been glued to it. I’ve been living in NY since 95 and i’ve never heard these stories. Keep up the good work, unfortunately these are stories that people suffered from.
It hangers me to see stories like this about how a grown person would think a 7 year old would like to give oral sex to a grown adult and how the hell a person who never wanted to be part of a girls life gets money when she died because he a “father” fail her too 🤬🤬🤬
Only discovered your channel yesterday and just have to say ive already heard cases I had never heard of before (and I focus on childrens cases in forensic psychology) especially cases of children killed and abused in their own homes 💔 as horrifying as they are I'm just glad someone is covering them, and doing so as tastefully as possible- these poor kids were so failed and forgotten about in life and, although it doesn't bring them back, it means something that their not forgotten in death 😢 💜 thankyou for covering them! This lil girls case I have heard of before, horrific, saddest thing is things don't seem to have changed 😔 I know it has been bad for many many years but ontop of that I have noticed there has been a lot of child deaths just in the last few years, with covid lockdowns and as a result of that a lot more people getting into home schooling, there seems to have been a slew of evil parents using this as an opportunity to isolate and harm poor vulnerable children 💔 some people should not be allowed to be near kids let alone having them 😡 why they cant just contact someone and get their kids taken somewhere safe I will never know, so many people who cannot have kids themselves, me included, would jump at the chance to look after them the way they should be cared for, it is just frustrating and so so sad! Speaking on this case, what an evil piece of shit! Nixzmary deserved so much in her life and she got that 😡 makes me so damn angry, what man does the stuff he did to a child and honestly doesnt grasp what damage he was doing, and that he was going to end up killing her?! What a crock of shit 😒 he just didnt care if that happened! Death penalty should be allowed and given for cases like this in my opinion, maybe then others would think twice about harming a child like this! And her sperm donor just leaving as soon as he knew of the pregnancy 😑 then once she dies hes suddenly a doting dad who has the nerve to get settlement?! Some people have no shame 😒💔
I remember this story, I was a child when it happened but her little face and name always stuck with me. Rest in peace little angel you didn’t deserve this.
I still don’t understand how a parent can do that to a defenseless child! Growing up my mother had paranoia and anger issues and always took out her frustrations out on me! I’m looking forward to your little Lisa Steinberg episode, keep up the fantastic work Jose!
Does your daughter recall any thing alarming when she was going to school. I can only imagine how you feel as well. How you probably wished that you could of adopted her.
@@feistyflavors5227 omg I can only imagine how feels because now she knows the reason. Poor baby, I don’t understand how the school and Acs over looked the obvious.
I remba this case, which touched my heart. I was just a kid myself … who also was abused , I remba I went to school with a black eye also. But aps/ acs did nothing …. My mom had about 9 cases , which were close. We never have food in the fridge either, she always seemed to fix things before aps came, oh yea…. I’m from Brooklyn tooo
It’s not any better when child protective services removes the child from the home. I work for a police station and is we reports of boys raping boys in the group homes. It’s a cruel system that needs to be fixed ASAP
This was one of the worst I ever heard and I remember it like it was yesterday. I still think of that baby. She lived the most horrific life, so alone, abused, starved, molested, went to school with a black eye, and lastly killed. Just horrific.
I think it's honorable that you bring these stories beyond NY so everyone gains awareness. Children need the utmost care and protection. God bless you and your family 🙏❤️
Greetings. Thank you so much for keeping these fallen victims names and faces alive, they are Angels, no child should suffer in silence all by themselves. No child deserves to succumbed to the hands of those monsters who should love and protect them. I am proud of Jose for his diligence is spreading awareness…..I am the person who fought for Justice for 7 years old NixzMary Brown on January 11th 2006. I turned the ( ACS ) System up side down in side out. The ACS System was changed they had to answered for failing Nixzzy some of them served time in prison for failing NixzMary Brown. Nixzaliz Santiago received 34.5 years for not protecting her innocent helpless child. Cesar Rodriguez received 29 years for killing Nixzzy….., I went on to produce a Documentary of Nixzzy Life in Death. And in the interim of all this unwarranted sadness I and a few other Child Advocates fought for the NixzMary Brown Law in which was implemented in October 2008 the same month that Nixzaliz was sentenced if my memory serves me right. Justice for all our fallen Angels. Thanks you so much for representing these beautiful children.
Thank you for advocating for this Angel God Bless You and give you strength to keep doing what you do. For fighting for rights for this innocent children who deserved to be loved and heard.
That settlement should have gone to Nixmary's siblings for intense therapy, not her absentee bio dad.
Exactly! 💯👊
That’s not her bio dad
Terrible story. All of it.
I hope the other siblings will grow up and be good people. Seeing all the mean and evil at home...
None of them helped her! They knew what was going on and did nothing! None of them should have gotten anything
Her older brother (Nixzmary) who was 15 was raping girls before and after the little girl died
Her biological father did not want her when he was told of the pregnancy and he had the cojones to receive a settlement when he never saw his daughter when she was alive. What a shame this world we are living in.
My jaw dropped!!! I NEVER knew that about this story... Baby Nixmary lived around the corner from me at the time...
That wasn't even her bio dad. Her mom was hopping from man to man so fast it gets confusing but according to the family, the bio dad left right after Nixzmary was born and then the guy (Brown) 'adopted' Nixzmary and her mom gave her his last name.
😢😢😢
Im a grown man and still havent suffered as much as this little angel in her short life .........rip little angel, heaven is your real home
Her father only saw her for the first time at her funeral and then figured a way to get money out of it. Another winner
RIP my sweet little girl ❤
Her biological father getting a $750k settlement is absurd and disgusting. He did not deserve a dime for having abandoned Nizxmary even before she was born. I tell you, the “justice” system is so corrupt and slow to act. It’s what has this world upside down.
-my god that poor little girl-
I can't help wondering what would have happened if Nizxmary's biological mother were involved if she would be awarded a $750K settlement. I haven't watched the video yet, but am about to.
People are just beyond disgusting... She deserved so much better..
He told her to abort!! The mother refused and was determined to birth and have a new man abuse her kid! The childs mom should be in jail
@@FS02012 -#cheers-- !-
"Mommy, don't leave me" ,how absolutely heartbreaking, this poor baby deserved so much better than what she got in this life. 💔
😔
😢😢😢😢 yes She R.I.P Angle
Sickening and heart breaking
How the school didn't pick up on the abuse.
And the mother did just that!!!what a piece of crap!worthless,oh but she can b on her back making babies!
The fact that good parents get cps called on them all the time for grudges and have their children removed from good homes and children who are brutalized and abused are deemed safe in these environments has always infuriated me. Make it make sense!!
I lived it 😢
It the same over here (I’m in the UK), it’s shocking. Such a beautiful precious child 😢. Makes me sick, children are a blessing. They’re plenty of people that can’t have children that would welcome these children with open loving arms.
I live in Israel, it's the same here. Of course there had never been such a horrible cases like in America but still the same shameful and corrupted actions of social services.
You're absolutely right and it's such a shame
The ACS is backwards, believe me I know. I got full custody of my son when his mother was not acting right. He was 3 months old at the time and I never looked back. He's 35 now and doing just fine, shout out to all the people within my community that assisted me with the paperwork. Thank you Clay Avenue Residents and neighbors. One Love 💕
I can’t understand the mother. I broke up with my ex because I found out he shouted at my son. Literally kicked him out and never saw him again. How can they let these men beat their babies.
As you should queen
I know how it feels, but you don’t think your ex partner would actually hurt your son, do you?
I literally left my ex because my son didn't like the way he treated me and my son was right ,in listened to my son and I'd kill any man that lay hands on my kids hell noooo I don't understand women who choose a men over there kids like why,my kids life is my pride and joy! !!!!
It amazes me how some women have the audacity to bring different men around their children yet let these children stay with them at the house while they run errands like wtf is wrong with them?!
@@cindyl760 facts. My mom took us everywhere omg. Grocery store, laundry mat, her own doctor appointments, hair salon looking back I understand now
That damned biological "father" cashed out on a daughter he didn't want and never met. Absolutely absurd and outrageous.
He was not her father he was her stepfather
@@ljmcdonald2703 he was her father
@@ljmcdonald2703her biological father that didn’t want her in the first place got the money, not the man that gave her his name
Exactly that’s a shame
The fact that there was blood everywhere in the apartment and the mother was present for the torture and beatings is so disturbing.
The mother should be Arressted for allowing her daughter to be physically abused by her stepfather and did nothing to prevent it. That is called being an asserey to a crime against a child.
Where were fuc..... Child services law enforcement
Unbelievable this happend and NOONE CARED. Hope all concerned have a tormented life. 👿
It was reported that Nixmary's mother was beaten up by her fellow inmates upon her arrival to jail. I would have a hard time not cheering them on if I was working there as a CO.
@@hautesaucegood. They deserve a pizza party for that.
What's even more disturbing is that the mom participated in the abuse and torture because she was jealous her daughter was being molested by her husband. Absolutely disgusting.
@@Yvette-tk2futhat is why as disturbing as it is why some "moms" never report the abuse because they know but they have a odd jealously towards their child so instead they allow torment. It's sad all in all and wish things were different but they will be dealt with upon their death and will need to answer for their wrong doings..
29 years for torturing and killing a child? WTF That should have been an automatic death penalty or at least life in prison. Why are we so lenient towards these murders?!
They got the maximum sentences for their respective charges (though the mother's was later shortened to 36 years). Since the murder was not premeditated, it counted as second-degree murder which by law is not punishable by death or even life in prison. The victim being a child somehow doesn't have a special type of charge around it nor upgrade it to first degree murder (which requires premeditation). It's actually insane.
I just cried my eyes out over her words: "Mommy dont leave me."
My daughter is fast asleep next to me in bed right now and I hugged her firmly while crying.
This is one of the most heartbreaking things that exist: child abuse.
The father was never there but he shows up quick to collect some coins out of this poor little girl! Smh 😡🤬
Maybe he was guilty and sad
@@virgo1986ful i feel like if that was the case you wouldn’t take the money

@@stephanietobler3770 possibly but to be fair they didn’t come from good areas. All the people in the story were poor with maybe the exception of Brown whom wasn’t spoken of much
That wasn't her biological father, he was the father who raised her anf gave her his name.
The bio-dad should NOT have been given anything from the state or anyone else because he never wanted her and never took care of her. He made out like a bandit on the daughter he never wanted anything to do with. Disgusting!!!!
he's the father, so he had the right
@@craigime He wasn't a father, he was a sperm donor and deserved nothing
He met her for the first time at her funeral. That says it all. He deserved nothing.
He never did anything for her. Being a sperm donor and nothing more shouldn't entitle a deadbeat father to anything.
Ashamed on mothers who don’t protect and defend their children, but keep silent towards the men they live with.
She doesn't deserve to be called a mother, she's just as much of a monster as her boyfriend and the biological father
They are not Mothers. They are monsters.
This is why I am a proud member of the nixzmary brown soldier/ soldiers against child abuse.
I lost my hubby when kids were little and never dated again. Raised my kids in safety and peace. Kids first❤
Yes so true they come first no matter what .Thankyou
Well... There is no need to date, you simply could have married some decent man who was willing to have a family. I never remarried because I didn't want to, but now my oldest is 17 and I'm about to marry an American man who is willing to adopt all three of them.... My greetings.
@@user-ru1ki nooo you don't remarry. Almost 70% there is no acceptance of those children. Men lie well, until you marry them and abuse your daughters!! If you women choose to bring babies into this world raise them! Its your responsibility not the new man. My moms husband did the same thing to me. After knocking her up and traping her ... he went after me! You women need to realize no man really wants to raise another mans child!! Your a step child your biological kids are always treated with unconditional love. Its reality even if you don't agree. Most families are like that. Raise your own kids. Kids shouldn't have a stranger man and or step new kids. Mothers and their boyfriends need to be charged.
@@user-ru1kiso you just married someone without getting to know them first? The person above is not implying that she was going to start dating a whole bunch a men. But she did need to meet someone and date him, get to know him THEN marry him!
@@clarabellem7916 Not so long ago there was no such thing as dating, like by our grandparents and even parents. People just knew whether it was the right match or not and thus were getting married. Even now by so many ethnic groups and cultures dating doesn't exist like Arabic sector, Orthodox or Ultra-orthodox Jewish sectors, Ethiopian sector and many more. I dated my fiance for three years many years ago but eventually haven't gotten married, dated my first husband a little, never dated the second one and both of them are history. So basically, it doesn't matter whether you date or not because if it is a wrong person dating or not dating doesn't change a lot because you need an eternity to fully understand another person's soul...
Her biological father was and did nothing but refuse her.
The other gentleman who helped raise her appears to have been crying his eyes out, claiming child services had an entire year to protect and allowed her to be killed. He was probably the only real daddy figure in that little angel's life. If anyone deserved money for the loss it would be him not the soerm donor.
Yes I could tell by his face bin there before trust me he had love that little Angel an wasn't nothing he really could've done 😢so i know it hurts him so badly hope he finds some type of peace in this cruel world R i p Angel all u wanted was love🕊💔
Lowlifes like this are able to procreate and many couples who are desperate for children, because of medical conditions, cannot fulfill their dreams. May this beautiful angel rest in eternal love, peace and happiness. What a tragedy.
That man getting 750k settlement angers me so much! YES, the city failed to protect her, BUT SO DID YOU!!
That money should have gone to some charitable fund for children on her behalf. That creature abused her by not being there to protect her and they should have deducted unpaid child support from that final amount.
Failed to protect this angel but rewards her absent deadbeat dad for doing nothing besides showing up to a funeral out of last minute guilt.
Exactly I agree
Where you blaming on the abuser or the youtuber?
Agreed especially because he could’ve donated the money he won to the cause if it was to bring attention to the problem.
My mother would use this case to threaten me with abuse when I was a kid. That woman was vile and my first bully. Once you know hatred from a parent especially your mother, the world is never the same.
Sounds like my momma and daddy ! They were both abusive ! My daddy even tried to hit me in my 20s after I finally came down to visit the family ! He was used to me being a punching bag !
Wow,she was a special kind of evil. I hope you were able to get away and cut off all contact,at the very least
Damn I’m sorry that happened to you
Deadass. Mine would act like she wasnt abusive and say that shes not doing shit like this to me because THIS was abuse. There are some sick people in the world
So sorry for your pain & all you've and so many others go through , my heart and prayers
Terrible mother. She fought to have that baby, only for her to allow a man to abuse her, but to participate in the abuse as well. Disgusting excuses for human beings. RIP, little princess, no one can hurt you anymore.
I agree. She was that child's protector and only left her to die. Pathetic excuse for a mother and human.
Male violence is a men's issue
He was beating her also. No excuse of course
@@tinkerbella4605 she deserved it. She was a monster. The baby was innocent
She was no mother. She was an incubator. She is an unnatural demonic monster disguised as a human. Real mothers would DIE for their children in a heartbeat!
I went to school with Nixzmary. She was in my class. She was such a beautiful kind person and we became friends. She was such a bright light of sunshine everytime she came into school. The day her death was announced all of us were so shocked by what happened, and we had a trip to her funeral for all of us to say our last goodbyes. I couldn’t even get the words out seeing her in that casket since we became close, i literally bawled seeing this come down my feed just now. Nixzmary, I miss you soooo much and I wish those monsters didn’t take you away so young💔 she was so innocent she didn’t deserve any of the things she went through..
Im so sorry for this. I was 9 years old when the news came out. I remember being truamatized when hearing the news of what happened. She wouldve been 26 now

What goes thru a full-grown adult's head when they are closed-fist bashing on a tiny child? What is the thought process that justifies that level of brutality? I can't wrap my mind around it...
Thank you for the empathetic and respectful portrayal of this poor sweet baby's plight.
It's just nauseating to know there are children out there going thru torture every day in silence. I want to rescue them all 😢
None of her family members checked on her or made sure she was ok? The neighbors never heard her screams or cries for help? Everyone failed this little Angel. RIP Nixzmary💖👸🏻💖
I remember from when this case was going on that her grandma (mom’s mom) wanted to take her to Puerto Rico with her but she didn’t have money for the ticket. A poor excuse in the big pic
I agree.
To many ppl thinks it is not their business. But when you see it or hear it , it is.
That's true where was every one . ? Someone should have seen or heard what was going on .
U are so rite ,every one around her faild her, that is so sad 😢...
@Liz she could have just taken her away to a different town/state if she couldn't afford the ticket overseas
I was a NYPD cop (4 years on the job in the Bronx) at the time, I remember how much this case shook me. There is so much child abuse and neglect in the city. I would do child emergency removals all the time. Sometimes one a week. During my just over 14 years on patrol, I physically held three dead babies. For all my time in that hell, I still don’t know if there’s a God, but I can sure tell you there are demons.
Thank you for this series, thank you for focusing on the victims. As a police officer, it was often extremely frustrating to see how the media gathers around the perpetrator. The victim often times becomes the prop in their effort to sell more newspapers. New York City is very Purp friendly and the good people are the ones who actually have to do the suffering.
😢😢😢😢😢
So sorry you have to experience all of that. Hopefully you have gotten some therapy because things like this have to take a toll words can’t even explain.
These innocent babies deserve so much better! Atleast those cases you worked on actually had someone who cared about their well-being. That makes a world of difference compared to the many ppl who overlook the abuse going on. I hope that you are/was able to get some form of therapy, as the person above 👆🏽 my comment stated, much love and healing to you.
You can see the pain in her eyes especially at the end....I send blessings to Nixzmary spirit.
She was a vivacious little girl, whose smile could light up a room, and lovely too with dark brown hair and eyes
Yea you could clearly see in all her photos that she was sad. Even the ones with her smiling seemed like an act. I envision her mother behind the camera telling/forcing her to smile.
She has a black eye in the black and white picture
Only God/Jesus gives blessings and He already gave her a place in Heaven why would she need blessings from sinners? Yal prove yal dont read the Bible for jack. Just be making up nice things with no real meaning
@@thomasmcintosh2977 when someone says they send blessings they don't mean they send blessings directly. It's pretty much another way of saying "God bless you" meaning they pray for God to bless you.... Hope that sums it up negative Nelly.
The fact that while she was being beaten, she was begging for her mother's help... it’s so sad ☹️ Rip Nizxmary, you will always be remembered 🙏🏽🕊
I cannot, cannot understand mothers watching their own flesh and blood be treated that way by a boyfriend.. The mother needs to be put UNDER the jail for allowing this to happen to this beautiful baby... I am in tears right now listening to what he did to her.. The system literally failed her. They kept calling and calling to get her help and they did nothing..

@@suzannenichols6900 in my opinion, I think life in prison would be more fitting for both of them. Let them rot in jail, and be treated like a prisoner for the rest of their pathetic lives. Maybe while they're in prison, they can get a good beating just like they did to poor little Nixzmary...
@@suzannenichols6900 this system is too lenient
@@JH-CarbonOh please 🙄 If they are in prison there's the chance of them getting out one day and they're pampered in prison. They need to experience the same thing they did to their victims. Action by action.
@Diamind if they would have gotten life in prison, it would have taken a couple of years for them to get an opportunity for parole. That is IF they got life in prison with a chance of parole. And by the time, they get out, they will probably be in their elder years. And even if they got out, their lives wouldn't be the same again, because mostly everyone would know who they are and treat them like trash, so it doesn't make a difference. If they get the death penalty they'll get a quick and easy death. Sometimes, they don't even stay behind bars for that long either. Do you really think that's a good enough punishment for what they did? If you say yes, then there's something wrong with you...
This story right here took me out!!! This baby was the reason why I was so over protective of my son who was born in 2003. I cried for days for her. I think about her to this day. The system failed this baby, her mother and father failed her!! Everyone failed her!! 💔🕊🌹🙏🏽
As a former Greene Ave resident, I remember for years after this not even wanting to walk on that block. I remember my mom being so sad but also so angry when this was all over the news. All these years later, it still makes me sad but with the sadness there is also confusion and disbelief that people can be this evil and that a mother's actions/inactions can be so far removed from what should be her natural instinct to protect her child. Protecting their young is a trait that is even basic to wild animals, wtf?!?
I stumbled upon your channel about an hour ago. I… have no words, or possibly too many for one TH-cam comment on a video that’s a year old.
Your productions (the two I’ve seen so far, I’m definitely going to remedy that) are simply astounding. You provide remembrance, dignity, awareness, and a deep look into horrifying subject matter with grace and respect. Thank you for bringing this to us, for all our sakes.
Truly. Thank you for doing what you do. You do it well, and you do the victims justice. 🖤
I truly appreciate that!
The settlement is ridiculous for the biological father. He did nothing. He jumped very quickly to the opportunity to do the "lawsuit" so he can live his life to the fullest while his child doesn't. Those 2 monsters needed the electric chair if it were available back then
No, they needed the same beatings & torture that beautiful baby girl received!
still his kid though
I remember this case as a teenager from Brooklyn. Everyday I would watch the news and see the details of this horrific case. Now as a mom of 2 girls in my 30s what Nixzmary went through brings tears to my eyes and a deep sorrow to my soul.
I'm horrified, look at the face of that little angel. I have twin 8-year-old daughters & I'd die if anything happened to them. This little girl was so precious.
Has anyone else, ever developed a profound urge, to raise a cinder block & repeatedly bash someone’s head in until that head looked like spaghetti? There are certain unforgivable trespasses which guarantee a person/monster eligible for this punishment. If only . . . .
R.I.P sweet Nixzmary😔
😳
Are you serious? The biological father who never cared to be there in the first place received 3/4 a million dollars? That’s absolutely infuriating. Almost as much as the case itself.
What's even worse, it was tax free.
Karma is going to get him! He didn’t even try to visit her and make sure she was ok or have someone check on her? To make sure his baby was ok ? She had No one i don’t understand she is a child any sexual things are definitely not her fault they are learned from adults!they should be dead ! Not her

I remember this baby. I also remember walking pass the building Nitz lived in on the way to Tompkins Park and being physically ill to the point we stopped walking in that direction😭 I didn’t know her personally, but she has always stayed in my heart.
Unlike other stories featured on this channel and in our local NYC News, neighbors DID call and ACS STILL dropped the ball. Disgraceful. It’s infuriating. She’s buried near me. I’m going. Just Wow.
How did they both not received life sentences especially the guy??? This is insane!
because many judges go lenient on stuff like this as much as they like to run their mouths as if they're so against it
*this case was absolutely heartbreaking*
29 years is not enough for this monster; if you can harm an innocent kid what else wouldn't you do? The way this case ripped my heart apart...it's unbearable! What kind of mother would let that happen to her child? I have so many questions, I'm feeling so much pain. The nerves of that pendejo of a father who met the child in her coffin to receive a settlement for her death, gosh I'm enraged!!!! Rest in perfect peace sweet little angel.
I will never forget her name. I wasn't that much older than he and I couldn't understand how someone could kill a child over yogurt? Thank you for providing the forensic photos. Though on a normal day, i would not want to see it, I felt I had to see to truly try to understand what she had went through. Also, shame on that dad for taking that $750k. You wanted nothing to do with her yet you felt it was right to take settlement money for her. Also, CPS FAILED THAT CHILD. COMPLETELY FAILED. S/O to the adults in her life that put themselves in harms way to ty to protect her.
I absolutely understand. I know these can be very raw and hard to watch. The truth is I need for people to truly understand and feel this so they can get so moved by it that there's no way anything like this could ever be ignored. Current day issues have definitely taken attention away from these children these days. There were THREE deaths just like this last summer along with babies in this city. Just last month it happened again when a mom dropped a bed on her nine year olds head. You hear nothing about it because they're very busy talking about every other issue BUT this. I truly feel that now might be the worst time for children who are in and out of the system. Its terrible.
@@EvilIntentions it’s crazy because people predicted that abuse of kids and women were going to go up due to the pandemic but yet they refused to highlight it. I honestly thought that it wasn’t as bad as they were going to predict but now I am hearing from you that they just aren’t showing that. It’s very disheartening when especially black and brown people are not getting the coverage they deserve.
@@A-Noodles Yep exactly. Once they pulled kids out of school for remote learning in NYC, reports of child abuse dropped by 50% which is SCARY. That wasn't because it wasn't happening. It was due to kids not being in school and teachers unable to report injuries to proper authorities. So basically the kids were stuck with abusive ass parents and nobody to report it since neighbors are notoriously terrible at reporting. Not all just a lot. One of the main sources of injuries reported are teachers. So once they're out the equation its a dead end for these children. Imagine being a teacher in 2019 who had been reporting these kids and their injuries, and then classes resuming to normal and finding that some of those kids aren't even alive anymore in 2021. Absolutely terrible. If I fail at ANY JOB I'm fired. I dont understand how children die, nothing changes and the system remains the same. Every time they "dismantle the system" and start new its the same thing all over again. Lisa steinbergs death changed nothing. Neither did Daytwon Bennetts or Elisa Izquierdos or Nixzmary Browns. They use these poor babies as the new faces of severe child abuse, they get put in the hot seat for a little while and then it fades away until the next severe case appears. It'll never stop if it isn't addressed. Its the worst thing I've ever seen and it just never stops.
So sad during Christmas, her siblings got presents, but she got nothing
Idk why they both didn’t get life smh this justice system is messed up
Seriously. Makes no sense.
children are just so beautiful. How anyone can harm them is heartbreaking.❤
We need to start giving these people longer sentences like life sentences for that kind of abuse and/or DEATH sentences. THEN they wouldn't be hurting these children. BUT UNTIL WE DO, they're going to continue to harm kids because these sentences are not scary nor harmful enough. And the only pain they care about is their own so they will continue to harm children because WE as a Society are NOT tough enough on them.
@@suzannenichols6900 Life sentences is fine. But also need to be with the rest of the inmates, and they need to know what the monster did. The inmates should be rewarded for torturing the monster as long as possible too, without it dying.
Nobody fought for her :( I’m crying. How could nobody fight for her? My heart hurts so much.
One of the saddest stories I ever heard. One of the worst cases of abuse I ever heard.
These demons deserve to get the death sentence, a slow painful death like they dealt this poor little girl. How can a human being be so cruel to any child or any living thing.
I was 12 when this happened and it rocked me so hard I had a nightmare as if I was watching the night of her death. Hearing the details of her life and the inaction of whatever name ACS went as back then, pushed me to want to be a social worker. I’m almost 30 and graduating this summer with my masters in social work. I work with adolescents here in NYC many of those that are left homeless without resources once they age out of ACS foster care. I can tell you even now, ACS don’t give af about these kids. They only do just enough to keep out of the news.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on receiving your grad degree. The negligence within these agencies is unfortunately global, and processes, procedures, protocol and laws need to be changed to provide more safety and security for these children but also more legal ramifications including jail time and job termination for those ignoring or neglecting these children
God bless you.
Congratulations,and thank you for everything you do for the kids you look out for. May they stay safe 🙏🏼
And they even faill to achieve the bare minimum at that. God bless you for caring and working hard just to be able to make a positive difference in a child's life 🙌🤝
Same here congratulations ma!! Let’s make the world a better place 😊
Ok....She caught her daughter 🤬 so she had to go....NOT YOUR BABY WAS BEING VIOLATED AND THAT MONSTER TAKING YOUR BABIES INNOCENCE AWAY HAS TO GO BUT SHE HAS TO GO....I can't even believe this is real what is with these weak azz so called moms...
I don’t understand how these women allow men to abuse their children. My own husband and father of my children raises his voice at our kids and I make sure I stop him from just raising his voice. Never will I ever let anyone abuse my children in my presence. Poor child.
A grown man beating on a precious little girl. Absolutely pathetic. What a coward.
SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 😔
I couldn't get thru half of the video without hysterically crying I can't believe that they did this to that gorgeous baby girl I'm tremendously hurt can't stop crying this is horrific and I love love love love this channel and your content and we thank you for it
Thank you so much for the kind words! This was a hard video to make. Babygirl deserved so much better.
Her mother horribly failed her. Rodriguez was beating that little girl because she belonged to another man. Damn, Mom could have reported that monster at school and asked for help they would have placed them in a shelter for battered women. I remember Nixmary it was a horrible situation for that poor baby girl. Rest in Peace little angel. The monster, you called mommy, failed you and she will pay for it.
I worked for friends and family of murder victims. This is soul shattering. I have lost a child too murder. Thank you for sharing.
I remember seeing this on the news and in the papers… I was in high school when this happened … that shit had me so mad … I’m surprised both the step father and mother aren’t dead in prison and they got off light because 30-36 years ain’t enough… they should’ve gotten life
In cases like this biblical justice needs to be administered. Rest easy little angel.
I hear you , yet everyone chimes “she’s home with Jesus” etx etx
@@foxywhitetip7387 Exactly.
This hit home, stories like this one hits hard because i was one of the lucky ones that survived abuse from the person that gave birth to you a person that should protect you is the one that causes you physical and emotional pain that last a life time. A person that should protect you a so call “mother” is the one that will do you the most harm and been a kid you don’t understand why because you do and act the same way your siblings act and they get all the love,protection, food and care but you get the opposite you get the beatings even tho you didn’t do nothing or she was just mad and the abuse the marks in your face the ones she use to tell me to lie in school and with my friends i had to tell them i had fallen or suffocating me sitting in my face with a pillow every time i thought i was going to die among other things,i was terrified but it was my mother and i loved her so i was so confuse of why she was doing these things when i loved her a little kid always love their mom but i was so confuse of why she was doing these things to me. At age 15 i couldn’t take it no more and i ran away from home and never went back, needless to say i haven’t talk to her since and now im 42.
Im sorry to write this here but i been holding to this for yrs. And seen things like this brings so many memories back in mind. RIP little girl and rest assure that God will not forget about you when that time comes.
i can relate, i was taken from my mom due to her drug addiction and put to live with her friend through the courts. This woman was straight evil, thank God for my father saving me and my sisters. i really think she would have killed me.
May God continúe to bless you
Hello my Dear as well have had numerous conversations about child abuse, no child deserves to suffer. Children lay down and die, like NixzMary last three words was Mommy…..Mommy…..Mommy on the cold floor in January while dying Nixzzy still cried out for her Mommy as she was foaming at the mouth she died. Children love their parents or family members until the end. So sad. I know what being a victim feels live. Thank God we survived to make a difference. You are awesome and I am so sorry for your horrible experiences thank God you try to save yourself.
@@jahmelajacobson5159 Thank you 💜

She weighed barely 36 lbs, stood at 45 inches tall, the autopsy revealed that she had ligature marks on her wrists and ankles, bruises in various stages of healing, 2 black eyes
Both of them should get life. They are not humans but monsters. Only monsters have no heart. How could a person beat up an innocent child who could not defend herself at all, and she had done no harm? The justice system in New York is still unjust.
Thank you for giving voice to that beautiful angel. Rest in peace Nixzmary.
The social workers including the bosses should ALSO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE and be jailed at least a decade when this happens. It’s wrong for anyone knowing about it and they don’t do shit. My heart breaks not only as a human but especially as a mother! 😢
I drove from North Carolina just to attend her funeral. I did not know her but when I heard her story, I could not have not gone. I am a black woman and was asked several times how did I know the family because I was crying so hard that I couldn’t breathe at one point. When I told those that had asked, I didn’t know any of them, that I drove from NC and that I was there because of how she was failed by the system, her parents and anyone that knew what was happening but didn’t step up for Nixzmary and because of her death, every person that asked me gave me the biggest hug and invited me to their homes for dinner. I didn’t attend anyone’s home because I didn’t know any of them and I value my safety and life. I wish that I did know the family because I would have happily cared for Nixzmary. She would have never wanted or needed for anything, she would have been shown so much love. And she would have had a big sister that would have treated her as a biological sibling. I truly hope that her egg donor and that worthless POS don’t make it out of jail. They both should have received life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. R.I.H Nixzmary. You are still thought of and loved.
Where are you from in NC? Same here... This is a HORRIBLY sad case. Absolutely tragic
What disgusts me about this case was that Nixzmary Brown was forced to use her cat’s litter box as a toilet
The sadness in her face is haunting...
She and her siblings lived in constant fear of Cesar Rodriguez
Why in earth they got sentenced with SECON DEGREE murder?! 😭 It was OBVIOUSLY first Degree murder!!! Rest in pece little angel, you are in a better place now ! ❤️🙏🏽 No one will ever hurt you again! 💔
I will never forget. Both girls are always in my memories. RIP Young ladies.
Everyone is to be blamed, mother, father, step father, school teachers, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbours, just about everyone.
This shit breaks my heart especially because I have a little girl…wow smfh. I’m gonna go home and just cuddle with my daughter. you are supposed to love and protect your babies!
Some women shouldn’t be able to reproduce. This broke my heart. She was viewed in the church that’s right outside my window. I hate women who hurt their children
@@2129823293 I hate anyone that hurts children period it’s truly disgusting smh
@@2129823293 I honestly believe one should have to acquire a license to procreate...
Yes indeed
If it disturbs you than don't watch this kind of stuff, simple as that.
I would like to know what her siblings thoughts are after all these years. How do they cope with knowing that their parents did this.
I literally lived the next block from this beautiful baby girl and everyone in the neighborhood was so heartbroken and tore up behind this! RIP BABY GIRL😢
and u did nothing to save her
Thank you for bringing these horrific cases to the world's attention.
They both should of gotten death sentences. No child should ever have to go through that. You're supposed to love your children. I hope they die for what they did to that child. Excuse my bluntess. I'm just upset.
Until that day hopefully Nixzmary haunts their dreams every single night
I will never forget this Horrific story.. I cried like a baby for months after this happened. Even tried to make her service but couldn't make it. 💔💔💔💔
Her eyes😪tell it all..God bless her soul.I remember this story it was a horror story. NIXMARY YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED ❤❤❤💐
I appreciate you showing the real raw footage so people can see what really goes on but this was so terrible prayers lifted to the most high for the young girl
You’re doing one hell of a job with these stories man. I stumbled up on your youtube account and i’ve been glued to it. I’ve been living in NY since 95 and i’ve never heard these stories. Keep up the good work, unfortunately these are stories that people suffered from.
Please tell me that pair were justifiably murdered in prison. How sickening.
It hangers me to see stories like this about how a grown person would think a 7 year old would like to give oral sex to a grown adult and how the hell a person who never wanted to be part of a girls life gets money when she died because he a “father” fail her too 🤬🤬🤬
The mother is just as bad as her evil boyfriend for allowing this to happen.
Not the dad getting money after not wanting her & meeting her at her funeral! Whewww
Disgusting . The justice system is so messed up . High
He’s actually satan
Only discovered your channel yesterday and just have to say ive already heard cases I had never heard of before (and I focus on childrens cases in forensic psychology) especially cases of children killed and abused in their own homes 💔 as horrifying as they are I'm just glad someone is covering them, and doing so as tastefully as possible- these poor kids were so failed and forgotten about in life and, although it doesn't bring them back, it means something that their not forgotten in death 😢 💜 thankyou for covering them! This lil girls case I have heard of before, horrific, saddest thing is things don't seem to have changed 😔 I know it has been bad for many many years but ontop of that I have noticed there has been a lot of child deaths just in the last few years, with covid lockdowns and as a result of that a lot more people getting into home schooling, there seems to have been a slew of evil parents using this as an opportunity to isolate and harm poor vulnerable children 💔 some people should not be allowed to be near kids let alone having them 😡 why they cant just contact someone and get their kids taken somewhere safe I will never know, so many people who cannot have kids themselves, me included, would jump at the chance to look after them the way they should be cared for, it is just frustrating and so so sad! Speaking on this case, what an evil piece of shit! Nixzmary deserved so much in her life and she got that 😡 makes me so damn angry, what man does the stuff he did to a child and honestly doesnt grasp what damage he was doing, and that he was going to end up killing her?! What a crock of shit 😒 he just didnt care if that happened! Death penalty should be allowed and given for cases like this in my opinion, maybe then others would think twice about harming a child like this! And her sperm donor just leaving as soon as he knew of the pregnancy 😑 then once she dies hes suddenly a doting dad who has the nerve to get settlement?! Some people have no shame 😒💔
Pray for the soul of Nixmary and all the children who suffered from the hands of horrible people.
They didn’t have a chance. It’s just so sad. So sad.
I remember this story, I was a child when it happened but her little face and name always stuck with me. Rest in peace little angel you didn’t deserve this.
this breaks my heart that her mom never protected her
At Christmas, her siblings received presents, including Hot Wheels for her brothers, Bratz dolls, for her sisters but NixMary got nothing
I still don’t understand how a parent can do that to a defenseless child! Growing up my mother had paranoia and anger issues and always took out her frustrations out on me! I’m looking forward to your little Lisa Steinberg episode, keep up the fantastic work Jose!
You always do an excellent job at reporting the unspeakable!
I hugged my children so tightly after watching this.
She was my daughter’s friend in school. This case made me so angry!
Omg I am so sorry I can’t even imagine how sad your daughter feels. My condolences to your daughter.
Does your daughter recall any thing alarming when she was going to school. I can only imagine how you feel as well. How you probably wished that you could of adopted her.
@@ashleyrodriguez8143 When it first happened, she remembered that that Nixzmary used to be sad sometimes, but she always played with her at recess
@@feistyflavors5227 omg I can only imagine how feels because now she knows the reason. Poor baby, I don’t understand how the school and Acs over looked the obvious.
Her eyes seem so sad, it's heartbreaking 🕊️rip Nixmary we know your happy joyous & in no pain now.❣️❣️
I remba this case, which touched my heart. I was just a kid myself … who also was abused , I remba I went to school with a black eye also. But aps/ acs did nothing …. My mom had about 9 cases , which were close. We never have food in the fridge either, she always seemed to fix things before aps came, oh yea…. I’m from Brooklyn tooo
Acs really don’t care, and they want more children to be brought into this life by banning abortion … let me make sense
Girlaaah 🥺 I’m praying for you and your sanity! 🫶🏽
Your moms a disgusting trash bag I hope she got her karma
It’s not any better when child protective services removes the child from the home. I work for a police station and is we reports of boys raping boys in the group homes. It’s a cruel system that needs to be fixed ASAP
This was one of the worst I ever heard and I remember it like it was yesterday. I still think of that baby. She lived the most horrific life, so alone, abused, starved, molested, went to school with a black eye, and lastly killed. Just horrific.
No parent should send their children with such injuries, especially with a black eye
I think it's honorable that you bring these stories beyond NY so everyone gains awareness. Children need the utmost care and protection. God bless you and your family 🙏❤️
Greetings. Thank you so much for keeping these fallen victims names and faces alive, they are Angels, no child should suffer in silence all by themselves. No child deserves to succumbed to the hands of those monsters who should love and protect them. I am proud of Jose for his diligence is spreading awareness…..I am the person who fought for Justice for 7 years old NixzMary Brown on January 11th 2006. I turned the
( ACS ) System up side down in side out. The ACS System was changed they had to answered for failing Nixzzy some of them served time in prison for failing NixzMary Brown. Nixzaliz Santiago received 34.5 years for not protecting her innocent helpless child. Cesar Rodriguez received 29 years for killing Nixzzy….., I went on to produce a Documentary of Nixzzy Life in Death. And in the interim of all this unwarranted sadness I and a few other Child Advocates fought for the NixzMary Brown Law in which was implemented in October 2008 the same month that Nixzaliz was sentenced if my memory serves me right. Justice for all our fallen Angels. Thanks you so much for representing these beautiful children.
My heart is broken, and I feel so sad about children who die of domestic abuse 😭 💔
Thank you for advocating for this Angel God Bless You and give you strength to keep doing what you do. For fighting for rights for this innocent children who deserved to be loved and heard.
