As an autistic woman who was abused & neglected by my parents, I too was let down by CPS. I am happy to be writing this, alive & doing better. Grateful. Rip Callista. You live on in folks such as myself who r survivors.
Same here . Before leaving the police station I beg them to not ask my mother if the abuse was real in front of . Not to tell them k was the one who made the claims . We pull up the cop knocks on the door she opens. The cop says “ your daughter made various claims of abuse to her friends and teacher “ in front of me . There was no follow up interview or child welfare check . My life was forever ruined because of the trauma screw Cps .
I’ll never understand the purpose of CPS. After my mom died I was raised by my alcoholic grandparents. I’d tell CPS I wanted out and it wasn’t a good place to live and the social worker told me “they could feed you only potatoes and give you the sack to wear and you’d still be taken care of, you aren’t going anywhere.” As a 14 year old I lost all hope. As a 29 year old now I’m still plagued with the trauma of being raised by them. CPS is so corrupt.
The laws in most / many states are HIGHLY biased toward reunification of the family based because of warped idea of parental rights. When CPS is adequately and competently staffed (which is not nearly often enough), they’re often still hamstrung by the law’s bias in favor of parents. “Best interests of the child” rarely govern the outcome by law. I’m sorry you experienced what you did. The system is broken as hell and it needs to be reformed from the ground up, including the laws and constitutional provisions that govern how things can be handled, and it needs the funding to hire the best people and fund the services needed for parents, but more importantly for children.
@@MarleneTrujillo-uc8bj {{{Ms. Trujillo}}} I am truly sorry. I get you, my friend. That we didn’t turn out to be serial murderers is a testament to our refusal to be held hostage to our horrific histories/“parents.” No child deserves to be mistreated.
'Callista had only been restrained for her own safety. Their evidence included a history of Callista escaping the house to walk through the streets in the middle of the night.' JESUS, I WONDER WHY
Same...😢 She is one of those children you can tell whats going on (or I can tell) by just looking at her pictures. I think its because I see a little of myself in them. Recognition. Being invisible to adults that do not see the emptieness in your eyes. Smiling in pictures but the face is lying - yet nobody sees it. That poor sweetheart. May she rest in peace. ❣️
The issue with trials is that you have to convict of something you know you can prove. If they tried for 1st degree murder and we're unable to prove it without reasonable doubt in the eyes of the jury, then we'd have another Casey Anthony case. Better to try for a lesser, easier to prove charge to nail the conviction.
I’d really like to know why, when CPS becomes involved because of reports coming from teachers and school counselors(mandated reporters), the parents are allowed to remove the child from school, purportedly to “nome school” that very child? What’s wrong with this picture? Calista, I hope you have lots of friends where you are and are free of pain and fear. Rest easy baby girl.
Oh I have an entire series on this case from beginning to end. She only had benedryl in her stomach contents. Do you know how long it takes for a stomach to completely empty?
I'm having a hard time watching this season. I listen to kids chained and unable to bathe as my own is just smiling at me happy with a full belly. The contrast is hard to bear at times.
These people were habitual liars , narcissists and great at deflecting . These people FAILED this child and alone are responsible . They are the kind of people who can convince Satan to put an ice skating rink in his lair .
This is so heartbreaking. I live in a rural area where this type of behavior is rampant. The very sectors in place to protect our children behave this way. Money, power and job security is more important than our children's safety? WHY did they not follow up? Laziness. Plain and simple. I had a young child who was friends with my son. I had seen her hurt several times by the people around her. I made a call and spilled my guts. At that time she was 10 and being molested by her mother's boyfriend. Six years later, a news story showed a 15 year old girl turned in her mother's boyfriend for sexual abuse. Finally, she got justice. This is after 15 years of repeated reports. The agencies need to look beyond the surface. It will prevent years of irrepairable emotional damage to the victims.
15 reports of abuse! This is so disgusting and unconscionable. The CPS workers must not have had a soul! This makes me so angry and sad! As a CASA volunteer, I have worked with my local CPS and they seem to be very good. The problem is that they can’t get workers due to low wages and such a high stress job.
Thank you for telling Calista’s story. I was familiar with the family. Like many of the neighbors I was surprised to learn they had a third daughter until after they discarded her. As much as Anthony wanted to shame the community, the fact of the matter is, he did nothing but take advantage of the kindness of the community. He and Marsha are scammers. What they did to their children was beyond monstrous. There is so much more to say about this case. There are current and former CPS workers who should have been charged with dereliction of duties. They never do get charged though.
They actually blamed the community for failing THEM???? Wow 😮 Narcissistic comes to mind. She was a beautiful little girl, it’s yet another heartbreaking story. 😢
They failed my kids my sister boyfriend hit my youngest baby son I wasn’t thierI left for Xmas shopping for my kids he harbored rued cig on him anshad a lot ver damage and I went and I got San their cps are bad she had over and I went lost my from cops court my lawyer and today my kids one got molested and the other got in drugs and etc I feel I shouldn’t never left my with if I new that was but I’m the who went to jail for year lost my everything
Again as a person who lives with Bipolar and ADHD, I never thought to harm anyone,let alone a child, except myself during my episodes, I can NOT imagine the abject cruelty of these 2 individuals. RIP Miss Calista
It's usually a case of who has more money. I have been through this repeatedly through the courts. Luckily, my ex husband would be arrested each time right before the court ruled. 6 OVIs in under 6 yrs. The court kept saying that I was a disgruntled ex wife who was trying to brain wash my child and alienate her from her father. No criminal record for me and he has quite a record that came after our divorce. It's disgusting.
Unfortunately, statistics say that when fathers actually bother asking for full custody, the courts almost always had the children to them no question asked.
@@cicada38 thank the "men's rights movement" for that bullshit. I'm sorry they accused you of that and it's sad it took so long and for him to get arrested numerous times for the court to realize maybe it's the other way around.

I agree! Self-care for a researcher is highly recommended - yeah know, puppies, kittens, love. I've been having more bad dreams directly as a result of true crime watching; I can tell by the content.
I agree I watch a lot of videos like this & sometimes I need a break! I can’t imagine how hard it must b to research these stories & find the truth in the details.
Laws need to be enlisted to hold CPS & their supervisors held accountable when children are being abused and they do nothing. Maybe with the threat of prison and heavy fines, things may change and children will be taken out out of their abusive homes.
CPS is chronically and criminally underfunded. If you want real change, start calling your representatives and advocating for more funding for social services. And support politicians who put child welfare (not the unborn but actual children) as a part of their platform.
Pay social workers more so it's actually a competitive field where the bad ones have some chance to be weeded out. The good ones burn out of the field too quickly. Let's pay then more to keep them.
Unfortunately, a parent can set other siblings against one another just by treating them different. The other kids will perceive that the sibling has done something and even grow to despise them, though the sibling has done nothing. It is then easy to get the other kids to say whatever to cover for you. It's happened in several of these types of stories. Also, it is a vicious circle, the more the one sibling is treated differently, the more different they act, exacerbating the situation. It is an especially sickening type of abuse.
Just finished my morning routine, cleaning, etc, and I see this!!! Jiles, your upload times are spectacular for me as a Brit. Anyhoo, this story... just this. I mean, why have children if you're gonna torture them? Even an almost blind person can see what a vicious bastard he is capable of.

It's amazing how someone with Depression, ADD, and Bipolar Disorder, who takes out his troubles on whomever is in his vicinity, can have as many opportunities as possible to make other people's lives miserable.
They don't have them fir under 12 unless it's severe. Basically unable to function in any way. The system does NOT want that burden and will fight taking it. Pica is no joke. This story is kind of unfair. I worked in a developmental center for 5+ yrs. They were hooked up to w/e they were in at the time 24/7. Bed = restraint, chair = restraint, wheelchair = restraint etc. They would become violent often, these ppl weren't capable of handling this. No reg ppl would be. Impossible. I'm not saying they're great ppl. I'm just saying it's an unfair telling. They're only real option would of been to forfeit the kid. Nvr see her again or updates or anything. Which is what most do. NONE of the residents where I worked got a visitor. EVER. They just laid, sat and moaned. Tried to eat the bed sheets, which actually happened a few times. Nurses beat tf out of them. You'd tell right? Who? The supervisor? Nope, they did it too. The administration? Show proof, no cameras allowed, no recording devices whatsoever. If it can't be proven, you will be terminated for creating a hostile work environment. Care center?! Grow up. Only an option if you have 500k a yr to spare.
@@thevolatilitywhisperer7616 I think your comment to the OP is unnecessarily harsh, no everyone knows the ins and outs of 'care'. You obviously feel strongly about it but there's really no need to be rude.
@@thevolatilitywhisperer7616 Thank you for this perspective, I was surprised by how severe their sentences were for what the jury found them guilty for, I have seen ppl convicted of murder get less time! This was a very difficult one to listen to.
Note: Really digging the newer intro vibes! Gives us a little personal connection to you, which I like, as I'm sure do others. Keep up the great narrations & stay healthy. Thanks for all the stories!
I've been in a fire. Aside from that, as a mother, a nurse and a human, The thought of anyone, ESPECIALLY a child would be left helpless to die that way is excruciating to consider. You have a gift for being able to tell these stories in such an impeccable way and continue to remain psycholigically intact. I hope you take good care of your own mental health considering the work you do, and the cost of giving value to the lives the monsters who refused to do the same for stole from them and their loved ones.
When cps gets a bunch of reports on the same child and then that child is homeschooled, they should just get their lawsuit money together because they will ignore that BIG RED FLAG.
My son is a nurse assistant in a nursing home and I assure you that the residents are NOT tethered/restrained/bound to their beds as that is highly illegal and will cost the facility it's license. It's so alarming what people in authority accept as reasonable parenting.
Schools and CPS workers need to dive deeper when it comes to kids suffering at home. I feel like so many people focus on the undesirable behavior a child is engaging in rather than finding an explanation for why they are doing it. Sure there are kids that are more prone to misbehaving than others, but often times misbehavior is a cry for help. It's heartbreaking to hear that she wished for a new family and some friends, she had to feel so alone. 💔
Thank you so much for the upload as your timing is perfect! Wait, it's 4a m, but hey, it's 3a m somewhere LOL, have a great night and or day jiles and fellow monsters. Also on a side note, Jiles, I am loving your vlog channel!. Very relatable and insightful videos. I can't wait to see what else. You have to say on there.!
THE SENSITIVE MANNER IN WHICH HE TELLS THE CRIMES STORIES MAKE THE UNBEARABLE EASIER TO ACCEPT. I guess I was sheltered because many of these true crimes seem like fiction. Keep up the good work . Your mentions of the domestic accuse and suicide hotlines at the end of your presentations are thoughtful and welcomed life-saving tools.
Imagine fighting to get custody of your daughter, only to leave her to burn alive in the house of her horrors... Personally... I feel like some criminals should face the same punishment that they gave upon their victims.
People like him don't fight the other parent for custody because they ACTUALLY want custody, they only do it to beat the other parent. My ex tried that shit too, he would openly tell people while laughing that he didn't give a shit about the kids he just wanted to hurt me and to get the money the government paid. He didn't win in court but like all men who engage in DV he found other ways to hurt me and the kids for the next 16yrs, until the youngest turn 18 at which point we could finally tell him to fvck off and never to contact us again, its been a whole entire year now since that and uts been so peaceful finally.
Oh so they acted like monsters and they had the galls to say “Well the system failed us because they failed to stop us from being the monsters that we were”. Rich.
As a mother of a son with autism this breaks my heart ...sweet child you deserved so much more from the parents you were born to ..to the authorities pit in place to protect you ...may you rest in peace xx
Love your voice so much, love your content. You are true crime Final Boss, sir. And my son is on the spectrum. He is now 25 years old and pursuing his PhD in Latin and History. Nothing they could have said about my child on paper could have squelched my happy wish to continually feed his love of learning. Family outings were museums and book stores and dollar movies at the mall. I was fortunate enough to be able to homeschool him, which eliminated some really nasty bullying that was going on in public school. I don't understand how just anyone is allowed to homeschool - I had two BAs and a love of learning and reading, and I see parents who can't even write a proper sentence or do third grade math teaching their children. I hope they know there will be test they must pass at the end of it all to qualify as "taught," if you want them to have any credentials at all. Our children are rockstars, and it's crushing to see, when parents truly behave like monsters.
We appreciate the work you put into all of these videos. The subject matter is so difficult to listen to, but your tenderness towards the victims always makes it easier. Thank you, Giles!
LOVE YOUR WORK!! Thank you! Again, love seeing your face...you have a fantastic voice...I don't do Hollywood or cable, no Netflix...I support my TH-camrs because it was YOU who saved me during Covid and then after I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. You have been with me most of the way. I am surviving but still not back to work (yet) so you are my entertainment. Thank you, Jami
@@alfrednewman4496 I would only agree with this if, homeschooling is regulated as much as public school is and that the parents that are homeschooling have the capabilities for doing it. Way too often its used to make the child isolated and unseen due to some sort of abuse. There is obviously way too much leniency given and eyes which are turned the other way, and only the children suffer for it.

I love Somewhere Sinister! In the intro, there is something about the sheer curtains blowing in the window in daylight that is super eerie to me. I think it has to do with a childhood experience. Both Somewhere Sinister and This Is Monsters are EXCELLENT channels! Kudos!
Regardless of how disabled she was and what her behavioral issues were, she should not have been treated like this by anyone let alone her parents. They exaggerated her problems as some sort of defense, which clearly is nonsense. I'm so glad the jury and the judge thought so as well. As for CPS; it's always the same story just a different child in a different place. Utterly useless to the point of criminality. RIP Callista you deserved so much better.
As a man who has chosen to be child free, Il just cannot wrap my head around how many of these monsters treat their children. All these people could just... not have kids, and not end up destroying their lives or spending life in prison!
Not having children does avoid a potential abuse situation BUT parents of special needs children - not the "child of their dreams" - need respite to which not everyone has access. Abusers are just a$$holes who shouldn't reproduce. A high percentage of us were "unplanned accidents."
Your a awesome person. The way you tell is so fact driven .. your voice is great just everything !! I listen to you to chill out .. your cases are horrific but the way you talk about ... just impeccable.
It's amazing how CPS failed this girl! Even her case worker had to realize there was a problem and they didn't even listen to her! Who's hiring these people? It's like they go on Indeed and invite anyone to apply 🤷🏾♀️

not all have that voice
It infuriates me that they only waited until after she passed away to take any sort of action
It's amazing how someone with Depression, ADD, and Bipolar Disorder, who takes out his troubles on whomever is in his vicinity, can have as many opportunities as possible to make other people's lives miserable.
My heart hurts for Callista 😢 This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you 💔
Good Evening Monday 9pm NZ Yippee time for ‘This is Monsters’ 👏🥂🍾
Marsha should have gotten the same amount of time in prison as Anthony, She was just as guilty as he was. Rip Calista.
Somewhere Sinister is freaking awesome! So glad for the comeback with more content. 😊
"This is Monsters" ❤️
Why didnt they put her into the care system. Makes me sick. Love both of your channels
He actually has three channels now! he added a vlog channel jiles with a j. I highly suggest it 😊

They don't have them fir under 12 unless it's severe. Basically unable to function in any way. The system does NOT want that burden and will fight taking it. Pica is no joke. This story is kind of unfair. I worked in a developmental center for 5+ yrs. They were hooked up to w/e they were in at the time 24/7. Bed = restraint, chair = restraint, wheelchair = restraint etc. They would become violent often, these ppl weren't capable of handling this. No reg ppl would be. Impossible. I'm not saying they're great ppl. I'm just saying it's an unfair telling. They're only real option would of been to forfeit the kid. Nvr see her again or updates or anything. Which is what most do. NONE of the residents where I worked got a visitor. EVER. They just laid, sat and moaned. Tried to eat the bed sheets, which actually happened a few times. Nurses beat tf out of them. You'd tell right? Who? The supervisor? Nope, they did it too. The administration? Show proof, no cameras allowed, no recording devices whatsoever. If it can't be proven, you will be terminated for creating a hostile work environment. Care center?! Grow up. Only an option if you have 500k a yr to spare.
@@thevolatilitywhisperer7616 I think your comment to the OP is unnecessarily harsh, no everyone knows the ins and outs of 'care'. You obviously feel strongly about it but there's really no need to be rude.
@@thevolatilitywhisperer7616 Thank you for this perspective, I was surprised by how severe their sentences were for what the jury found them guilty for, I have seen ppl convicted of murder get less time! This was a very difficult one to listen to.
Note: Really digging the newer intro vibes! Gives us a little personal connection to you, which I like, as I'm sure do others. Keep up the great narrations & stay healthy. Thanks for all the stories!
Love what you do brother. Just got up and within . minutes got the notification. Perfect timing as always. Gives me a situation to pick apart
You amaze me, Jiles. Great work bringing these horrible cases to light. We should never forget that monsters do walk among us.
I've been in a fire. Aside from that, as a mother, a nurse and a human, The thought of anyone, ESPECIALLY a child would be left helpless to die that way is excruciating to consider. You have a gift for being able to tell these stories in such an impeccable way and continue to remain psycholigically intact. I hope you take good care of your own mental health considering the work you do, and the cost of giving value to the lives the monsters who refused to do the same for stole from them and their loved ones.
When cps gets a bunch of reports on the same child and then that child is homeschooled, they should just get their lawsuit money together because they will ignore that BIG RED FLAG.
My son is a nurse assistant in a nursing home and I assure you that the residents are NOT tethered/restrained/bound to their beds as that is highly illegal and will cost the facility it's license. It's so alarming what people in authority accept as reasonable parenting.
Schools and CPS workers need to dive deeper when it comes to kids suffering at home. I feel like so many people focus on the undesirable behavior a child is engaging in rather than finding an explanation for why they are doing it. Sure there are kids that are more prone to misbehaving than others, but often times misbehavior is a cry for help. It's heartbreaking to hear that she wished for a new family and some friends, she had to feel so alone. 💔
Thank you so much for the upload as your timing is perfect! Wait, it's 4a m, but hey, it's 3a m somewhere LOL, have a great night and or day jiles and fellow monsters.
Also on a side note, Jiles, I am loving your vlog channel!. Very relatable and insightful videos. I can't wait to see what else. You have to say on there.!
Thank you for the upload, nice shirt, and I hope to hear another "a monster" catchphrase at the end of the video ha.
THE SENSITIVE MANNER IN WHICH HE TELLS THE CRIMES STORIES MAKE THE UNBEARABLE EASIER TO ACCEPT. I guess I was sheltered because many of these true crimes seem like fiction. Keep up the good work . Your mentions of the domestic accuse and suicide hotlines at the end of your presentations are thoughtful and welcomed life-saving tools.
Love your channel❤thank u for all U do❤
@Cat… your words and strength are truly inspiring…well done and thanx for sharing! 💖
Have a peaceful and joyful day, lovely! 🌸💫🌸
Imagine fighting to get custody of your daughter, only to leave her to burn alive in the house of her horrors...
Personally... I feel like some criminals should face the same punishment that they gave upon their victims.
Me too eye for eye 💔💔👿
@@juicyjules7409 Hopefully if we did that... it would send a message to others to maybe not commit the crimes they are thinking of
People like him don't fight the other parent for custody because they ACTUALLY want custody, they only do it to beat the other parent.
My ex tried that shit too, he would openly tell people while laughing that he didn't give a shit about the kids he just wanted to hurt me and to get the money the government paid.
He didn't win in court but like all men who engage in DV he found other ways to hurt me and the kids for the next 16yrs, until the youngest turn 18 at which point we could finally tell him to fvck off and never to contact us again, its been a whole entire year now since that and uts been so peaceful finally.
It seems a lot of abusers will fight for their children or fight to get them back from CPS and then continue to abuse them to death
He only wanted her to a) win and b) torture c)ca her.
I’m glad he’d and she are locked up….monsters……
Good morning, Thank you for posting and starting my Monday with a compassionate video. You rock!
Good morning 🌞 great morning with a new monsters.. love i get to wear headphones at work. 🎉🎉🎉 1:20
I love your tshirts your choice of music is the best!! Love all of the bands u wear!! And your videos are even better!!!
Oh so they acted like monsters and they had the galls to say “Well the system failed us because they failed to stop us from being the monsters that we were”. Rich.
As a mother of a son with autism this breaks my heart ...sweet child you deserved so much more from the parents you were born to ..to the authorities pit in place to protect you ...may you rest in peace xx
Its 2 am and I was just thinking that I hadnt seen a video from this is monsters in a minute.
Thank u so much for the CC. Much appreciated ❤❤❤
More abusive “homeschooling”. Smh. There should be a required background check before allowing people to homeschool.
To homeschool one's own children? What a terrible idea. Public school is stinky.
Love your voice so much, love your content. You are true crime Final Boss, sir.
And my son is on the spectrum. He is now 25 years old and pursuing his PhD in Latin and History. Nothing they could have said about my child on paper could have squelched my happy wish to continually feed his love of learning. Family outings were museums and book stores and dollar movies at the mall.
I was fortunate enough to be able to homeschool him, which eliminated some really nasty bullying that was going on in public school. I don't understand how just anyone is allowed to homeschool - I had two BAs and a love of learning and reading, and I see parents who can't even write a proper sentence or do third grade math teaching their children. I hope they know there will be test they must pass at the end of it all to qualify as "taught," if you want them to have any credentials at all.
Our children are rockstars, and it's crushing to see, when parents truly behave like monsters.
Keep it up, Jiles!
Love your channel. You have such a great voice and seem to really care about the victims you tell us about
Good morning Jiles and fellow This is monsters 👺watchers.
Hope everyone has a great week.
Jiles thank you for the new Upload.
We appreciate the work you put into all of these videos. The subject matter is so difficult to listen to, but your tenderness towards the victims always makes it easier. Thank you, Giles!
Im just a few minutes in and already so damn angry. This is pretty similar to my personal experience with social services.
LOVE YOUR WORK!! Thank you! Again, love seeing your face...you have a fantastic voice...I don't do Hollywood or cable, no Netflix...I support my TH-camrs because it was YOU who saved me during Covid and then after I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. You have been with me most of the way. I am surviving but still not back to work (yet) so you are my entertainment. Thank you, Jami
It was not just the parents that were MONSTERS but also the assholes that didn't listen to the people that where trying to help the girl 😔🥺
One of my favorite channels thank you for putting awareness on these stories and having the hotlines out on every ending to them
As soon homeschooling is mentioned , only bad things will happen to the poor children after that
So so true! One of the biggest 🚩🚩🚩🚩
What the heck. Any parent who can should homeschool. Public school is done.
@@alfrednewman4496 I would only agree with this if, homeschooling is regulated as much as public school is and that the parents that are homeschooling have the capabilities for doing it. Way too often its used to make the child isolated and unseen due to some sort of abuse. There is obviously way too much leniency given and eyes which are turned the other way, and only the children suffer for it.
Or "conservative Christian "
Never change the beginning of monsters or the music ❤️
Yes! Its 5pm, wine and Monsters time!
4am here in St Louis Missouri. Have a good evening
@@kylejackson5119 Have a good day!
@@kylejackson5119 I'M IN FESTUS! GREW UP IN SOCO!!! HIIIIIII!
@@kylejackson5119 I have to ask, where did you go to high school? LOL
@@scummymummy2548 I'm guessing they're in another part of the world maybe? Idk. But it's always a good time if there's wine and this is monsters regardless Of what time it actually is. LOL 😉💛
I really love seeing you on camera introducing your other content as well as your classic episode intros! You’re killing it and look forward to every piece you make! :)
I love Somewhere Sinister! In the intro, there is something about the sheer curtains blowing in the window in daylight that is super eerie to me. I think it has to do with a childhood experience. Both Somewhere Sinister and This Is Monsters are EXCELLENT channels! Kudos!
THIS GUY ☝🏾VOICE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ❗️❗️
Happy Monday, Jiles. It's my favourite day of the week, thanks to you. Sending Scottish good vibes your way for an awesome week.🏴🏴
Regardless of how disabled she was and what her behavioral issues were, she should not have been treated like this by anyone let alone her parents. They exaggerated her problems as some sort of defense, which clearly is nonsense. I'm so glad the jury and the judge thought so as well.
As for CPS; it's always the same story just a different child in a different place. Utterly useless to the point of criminality. RIP Callista you deserved so much better.
You are awesome! Ty for this content!
So this guy got full custody? What? How? Why?
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
I'm so sorry sweet girl. Rest in Peace 🤍
Hello dear im addicted to your shows love you
BACK OFF HES MINE!!!!
I UH MEAN I DIG THE SHOW TO....
LOL
@@joanysohayda7233 ohhh woooow
You're crazy
@@leahgushu went right over your head 😭
You Sir, are my favourite true crime channel. Great coverage and a calming voice.
As a man who has chosen to be child free,
Il just cannot wrap my head around how many of these monsters treat their children.
All these people could just... not have kids, and not end up destroying their lives or spending life in prison!
RIGHT?!
Probably sadists, some of them
Not having children does avoid a potential abuse situation BUT parents of special needs children - not the "child of their dreams" - need respite to which not everyone has access. Abusers are just a$$holes who shouldn't reproduce. A high percentage of us were "unplanned accidents."
They are collecting a check on a disabled kid.
Been watching you from day one. You have one of those voices that could narrate anything. Such radio voice! Thanks for sharing
Was their defense seriously "This could've been avoided if other parties stopped them abusing her so much, so it's basically their fault"? WTF?!?
Your a awesome person. The way you tell is so fact driven .. your voice is great just everything !! I listen to you to chill out .. your cases are horrific but the way you talk about ... just impeccable.
It's amazing how CPS failed this girl! Even her case worker had to realize there was a problem and they didn't even listen to her! Who's hiring these people? It's like they go on Indeed and invite anyone to apply 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you for doing this story. I watched the trial. That poor girl was so abused. 😢
IMO, CPS is as culpable as the perpetrators. Horrible story. May those parents rot in hell for eternity.
I like the quality content and that you will actually show your face very few crime channels will do that. So thanks for the video! 🎥
Double the monsters double the tragedy .
Been listening since the very beginning! So crazy how many seasons and how much production has changed. My best to you! Your voice puts me to sleep every night 🤣
How TF is this even possible?
Bruh, I can listen to your voice for hours. 💯 Love this channel.
This court could have found a way to give that man a life sentence. I swear some people will always get the benefit of doubt.
This channel is like one of the best on You Tube I absolutely love it I love your introduction it is excellent
Hey Monsters 👋
@@scummymummy2548 Zoinks
Not sure why you don’t have 10k subs yet . This channel is one of the best . Also, I love that you’re showing up in the beginning now . I like to see your band tees
Crazy how both of them could be okay with torturing a kid.
I was up all night looking for this. Thank you, Jiles! This is MONSTERS!!!
Looking well Jiles, 💜💜
I thank you for your stories. Please be sure and take care of yourself as you delve into these sad stories.
