@AbrACAdAbraItsCAylA he couldn't find words because he probably doesn't want to be associated with the whole situation but has no choice cause they have kids together. It's hard enough for black men. Why is everyone so hard on him. He passed a polygraph test. He wasn't even in town when it happened. What does everyone want from this man.

There's a disorder for that it's a nervous condition where someone smiles when they're nervous, anxious or even mad.
100% we all go through stuff worse than others but still, as traumatic, nothing justifies giving an innocent child to a perve! Most of the time DCF fails these kids too. Smh!!!
My mother gave me to one of her guy “friend” for a night when I was 9 yrs old for crack in New York. I’m so happy and grateful his elderly mother was home she protected me from him until my mother came back for me the next day. Parents have to do better to protect their children.
Sorry to hear that...I pray and hope all is well mentally and physically at this point in your life. So many kids who parents were doing drugs were molested, or sex trafficked. Grown up MUST do better. Yes, we must
Is she on Crack because that’s the only way a Mom would do something 😢crazy like that. Not saying it’s an excuse but I can’t see a mom selling her daughter to a grown man unless she on drugs 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Exactly, and she is saying he did not look like that kinda guy. How does that kinda guy look? I would like to have heard the conversation she had with this man about her daughter when she agreed to give her to him. This is totally sad.
@@jahneastanfield2662he was out of town in the days immediately surrounding tge school reporting her missing. He wasn't always outta town. He was around other times when she was allowed to go w/that man and was aware at some point that she had been gone for a while.
Her mother absolutely sold her. How she still isn’t in prison is beyond my comprehension. And this woman constantly bringing up the trauma the mother experienced growing up is ridiculous. Yeah, she experienced trauma and continued the cycle until she became the kind of person that sold her child to a predator. Trauma is NOT an excuse.
Can't arrest and try ppl based on gut feeling even if you 💯 know they guilty. It's innocent til proven guilty and they prolly don't have the evidence. Sad shit TBH
Why would you it doesnt make sense unless you didnt want your kids this whole scenario dont make sense if you love ya kids you not gon put your satisfaction before their success
If she was such a 'baby," why would you give her to someone who was NOOT her father? What was you're reason for giving of your baby to that man? Did she have an addiction, and traded her daughter, for a "fix?" Relisha's mom needs to be held accountable.
The Mom needs to be charged! How do you let your child walk off with A man, not see or hear from her in days, and not call the authorities? This is suspicious. She probably sold this baby to this monster.
Right?! I’m like wtf?! No way would I let my child or any child go away with someone who I don’t know well. I sure as hell wouldn’t wait that long to report her missing! 😮
The first question should be why did they leave her with the children with an open case. Of all that was listed that was a problem, none of the children should have been with this individual, not a 'Mother.'
@@tyrasworld5675 I know, that is what 'their' system is designed to do to Blacks...even those who look 'black' have been ingrained to do it too and say they are Black, no, no, no..
Why are you leaving your little girl with a grown man that you barely know? People need to stop having kids if they don't want the responsibility. Arrest her for child neglect, smh.
I don’t think she’s demonizing men, I think she’s pointing out common sense! Who would leave their eight year old daughter with a grown man or women that they don’t know?@@israel4786
@israel4786 Whether it was a grown man or woman, no one should feel okay with just leaving their child with a stranger. You never know what people are capable of. However, in this scenario, it was specifically a grown man that she left her daughter with. And leaving a little girl in the hands of a grown man that she barely knows... is not a good look, hence why the little girl went missing.
I remember that one too. And Christy Sipel (not sure of the spelling) who did the same exact thing to her daughter for substances. The child was Kamarie Holland. Her mom goes on national TV to ask for her safe return but one only has to view the video and listen to her. She speaks about her daughter almost in past tense. Both girls had eerie similarities and were the same age.
I will never forget Relisha. This case broke my heart 10 years ago, and still does. Mom needs to soften her heart and tell the truth. She knows what happened. She willingly gave her child to a grown man and didn’t report her missing until days later. Her father, grandmom , the school all failed Relisha. Poor baby. I pray she will be found.
Not a tear in her eye and no eye contact speaking of her daughter Body language tells alot and that bs plea when she spoke to the news told me she aint crap
Wild as it seems, the mom may not know. I keep thinking it may be connected to one of these agencies. Real traffickers have workers and people watching for vulnerable targets. Ya'll keep letting these other people around ya'll children. That man was probably going to bury his wife with that lime, but when the police found her body first. Did they find the lime and stuff he bought from the store? Anyhow, Khalil messed the job up and someone else could've been sent to clean up and make sure there were no connections. Many children have gone missing since Relisha. I noticed this building full of NPOs and the news stories. A few of these teens had pics posted on stores but no further word. The mom has been through a lot and has never crossed me as trusting the police. She knew she would be blamed. And others would know it too! If ya'll never watched "Blacklist" you should. Episode 2:22 was good. This case really needs to be solved. Putting a shelter by the "jail" shouldn't have occurred either. They kept saying RFK stadium in the news story. 😑 God first in everything we do!!! That is key!❤
To think that I’ve been to that park and sat underneath the shelter where that guy deleted himself and I didn’t know is crazy to think that I’ve been on the trails around there and possibly walked by her remains is wild I also do think the mom is guilty smh 🤦♂️
Not everything is the governments fault. I only watch this in the background maybe I missed something, but from what I understand she was abducted or her mom had something to do with it. The government is not at fault. In fact Patti just told the school she was going to homeschool her child they never would’ve reported it anyway. We all want to have freedom from the government but yet we always want to say it’s the government’s fault when anything happens.
I once had an "uncle" that married into the family, I was taught to recognize him as an uncle, but when he started abusing me he was quick to tell me we weren't family which, in his mind, made what he was doing "ok". The "stepfather" said the same thing. If the mother was willing to sell her daughter you'd better believe she was allowing boyfriends, and baby daddies, to have their way with her daughter.
I've survived trauma and there's no excuse. Her mother sold her and everyone around her failed her. I broke the cycle and never put my daughter in danger. You only do things you choose to do.
At the time, I was a mandated reporter at a school in DC. This case made me guilt free for calling authorities when there were excessive absences from schools.
😢😢😢that was my condition in 2020 in temporary shelter older man said 👋 to my 5 years old daughter twice at one point he tried to give her candy at the door so my daughter could go outside immediately my heart sank and I became afraid and spoke of the situation to the person in charge at that time during Covid if I never paid attention my daughter would not have been alive today and the man was next to our door.😢😢😢😢, housing is very problematic.
Saw this story years ago and it just stuck with me for years. Her beautiful sad eyes told a story and i never forgot it. My heart broke for this beautiful child and what could have happened to her. I prayed everyday that she would be found. I still pray and hope for her to be alive. 🙏🏽❤️
I don’t have any kids, but common sense tells me not to let my daughter go off with some man just because I think he looks nice. looks can be deceiving we all know that.
This girl’s story had caught my attention years ago and still stands in my mind today. Everyone failed this poor baby. Step dad saying he is not family is crazy. The teachers seem to care more about her than mom 😢
@@jasminwilliams7097He went on that show for the money, and to try and assuage his own guilt. He was aware the child was going w/this man many times before the incident that got the police involved.
I went out with an ex, she told me she would leave her 11 year old daughter at home. The grandmother lived next door, but the girl would be in the house by herself while she went out to have fun. I called her out on it. She got upset.
He just wanted camera time & clout. The whole time he allowed them to call him her father. But when blame got place on the family he’s her “stepfather”. He never cared about her, He just wanted some @$$ from her mom, and the mom gave it to him & popped out babies for him instead of taking care of the one she had already. So he’s right, he’s not her stepfather, he’s her mother’s random n!99@ that’s using her story for clout! Shame on him!
He killed Relisha, that little girl is deceased. He killed his wife, Relisha and then himself ...sickening . Her mother is sick and needs to be in jail for giving her to that man! It was for drugs .
These patents are called TRIFLING! They have no intentions of CAREING for their children. They just have them to get money and sympathy and get into programs because GENERATION after GENERATION it's been done. Nothing pisses me off more than a TRIFLING, Man & Women tricken their kids off so they can get drugs and money.
After watching this, the mother never looked the camera are the reporter in the eyes, she had kids by this other guy and she wanted to just have the two boys and sold their oldest sister to this guy for sex trafficking. She knows what’s going on
That's why he was a sexual predator preying on her daughter the whole entire time he was grooming for reisha and killer knew what kind of woman she was and used that to his advantage to get to his intended prey he was a wolf in sheep clothing!
That's a damn shame. That so-called mother gave that poor child away. Why would a school wait 3 weeks before they even bother checking on a child missing from school. SMH
I remember this like it was yesterday. And I always say out loud every now and then, "Where are you Relisha?" I always kept her in the forefront of my mind. As a mom and grandmother, my soul still aches for her.
The mother allowed a grown man to take her child? What did she think would happen?I have no patience or sympathy for this mother, I only feel sorrow for the little girl.
That poor little girl was doomed from birth. The mother grew up in the foster care system and seems to be learning-disabled. The biological father did prison time for killing another of his biological children. I was living in the DC Metro area when Relisha disappeared and this case has haunted me for years.
I come from foster care too and bad boarding schools i did raise ma kids they 14...16. 17 and 23 i just turn 40 i never ever deal with cps or others in ma life we aint all the same there a difference between kids wo got in cps on there own because they bad or kids like me who have parents who do drugs and drink on a daily and tell you everyday they wishes you where dead having a bad start in life does not mean you f up for life...ma kids go to school to older one works never bin in contact with cops or nothing people like to see them they are sweet to others so coming from foster care and being bad parents is not always the case some of us do care for our kids
She is equally culpable for not reporting that man immediately when he brought a minor home. My man cannot bring an 8 year old and I don't cause a ruckus immediately.
She is not culpable. She died possibly trying to help save the little girl. It is so inappropriate to say what you would or would not do if you were thrust into a situation that you have never been put in. That is very unfair. The lady is deceased, and she did not deserve that.
@@yvonneratcliff47 The child was with them for a while. Not a day. Why keep someone's child for more than 24 hours? She is no saint and I stick to my opinion.
@Yvonne, I'd have to disagree.🙄Like the person said there's no way in he'll you should just pop up with a 8 year old their not related to or that you know. Mind you this wasn't A few minutes. This was days. Are you actually trying to say that after days with this child she didn't know something was up ? I just don't buy that. Plus she married a guy who picks up minors for insidious reasons. You know if your husband is a damn weirdo. Also if she were trying to save her they'd have all been found together. You can't help someone who's not there. I kinda don't believe she's dead though. Sadly she may have been sold to some PDF ring. She may even be out of the country. This happens more often than you'd think. I %100 believe the wife was in on it. They may have been killed by the PDF ring, because you don't really want witnesses still alive after doing something like that. I hope she's alive somewhere.
@@cutandgo we’ll never know her true intentions because both are dead. It just seems as if he was willing to kill her then maybe that’s a testament to how scared the wife could have been to immediately go against him by seeking help for the child. He spontaneously showed up with the child. She might have been trying to go along with him to formulate an exit plan and probably died trying to enact that very plan.
🙋🏾♀️I remember being 6/7 and constantly being left at this handicapped old man house who was not related . I remember being bored and wondering when my mum would come collect me. I really feel bad for little me😢
@@beatricedevarenne2621and alot of weak as fathers too. They only know how to do the freaky under the sheets but when it’s time for responsibility they run away like cowards.
Im still on the part where she said she let the man get her daughter because,she assumed he was a good guy..he was the damn janitor,he shouldn’t have been communicating with any of those childrens there..I can’t help but to think that’s something isn’t right with this story..
You were her family. When you took her mom as your wife you took on this little girl too. With that said, it doesn't mean you were involved in her disappearance. If you weren't I haven't walked in your shoes so I won't judge you. But so many people failed that beautiful lil girl. It's all so so sad for her. I mean it keeps saying her mother gave her to this man. What does that even mean? I pray for her. At this time I don't think that is going to help her. At one time I watched an episode of Oprah where I think it was four sets of parents i don't really remember. It was awhile ago. But anyway these parents would have bet anything their children would not go with a stranger under any circumstances. A really sweet/nice old man walked up to all of their kids separately. He was carrying a leash and a picture. He simply asked could you please help me find my puppy, showing them a picture of the puppy. I cried a long with their parents as I watched every one of these children go with this man. If I'm not mistaken it took a couple of minutes in each situation. One of the theories was the extremely nice old white man didn't look mean. Not to mention he was very concerned about a little puppy. How could he be bad. That afternoon I asked my own five children how they thought a bad person looked. It blew my mind. They all thought he or she would look like a monster, mean and scary. I had previously told them not to go with anyone. So had the parents on Oprah told theirs. But that man who was an actor portraying a potential bad man/kidnapping pedophile. All he had to do was mention the lost puppy. Preying on their emotions. Their want to help find it before something happened to it. From then on I taught my kids and any other child that a bad person can be anyone. They can look like a nice/good person. But none of that helped with explaining about family members or good friends of the family. How do you explain to a child that a family member could try to hurt them. It's all so sad. I don't believe you had something to do with your step daughters disappearance. So I wish you and yours peace love and happiness. I'm just so sad for that little girl. She needed someone to be there for her. She deserved it!😢❤
Not one tear dropped from the mother's eyes even though she was trying to force them. She knows she gave her daughter away to that demon. I'm so mad that she was never charged and arrested.
But it happens so much…sad…😢😢we really can’t do nothing to prevent this..because it’s no funding..but yet we got billions/millions to send to fight wars….SAD and a disgrace..we got money to help immigrants to come into this country and provide them housing food jobs cars..which is a nice thing to do..but we need that for the American people who pay their taxes….provide that to programs in each city across each STATE throughout the US first..and thank you…matter of fact anyone who is in a homeless shelters should be helped first..they need day care, cars, housing too..stop the dysfunction..because these situations not gonna go away because this what dysfunctional does😳I’m all for charity..but just not before the natives of THIS country..who OBVIOUSLY needs it..just as much..anytime ANYBODIES children are in protective care..it should become IMMEDIATELY clear that intervention needs to take place..take the kids away..immediately…make that a law..too many children falling through the cracks and even more insulting that it could of been prevented..ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS HAVE PROGRAMS IN PLAY TO HELP THIS WOMAN OUT..andddddd the PROTECTION OF THE CHILDREN SHOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN....the laws also need to change that when you hurt children and you have ANY kind of charge of hurting a child..you gotS to go to JAIL…im sorry but I’m not sorry….it’s people out here that hurt kids but got 2 years be out in6 months and complete the 14 months on probation..smh..and as soon as he come home the kid comes up dead..how many times we heard that story…instead of finding families that you pay to foster kids and the kids still get abused sometimes worst then if they crackhead momma had them..smh…but what can be done is build state of the art housing for children…don’t find them “homes” kind of like an orphanage but state of the art..teach them to break the cycle..teach them..have mentors and counseling available 24/7..train them up..just saying ..anything better then this!!! Father God Father God we are in a state of emergency..please intervene and send them the care they need to heel from trauma..thank you father for all your grace and mercy..and please continue to release your Holy Spirit upon us to guide us..give the right people the strength to change laws so children can stop from being hurt..we thank you Heavenly Father🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Sening up prayers for this baby for her health, for her mental state, and to find the strength to reach out for help to return home! Lord keep her safe!
As soon as I saw the mother looking down in the beginning as she was being interviewed, I could see her guilt immediately. This is such a tragedy for this child..also another failure of CPS and the school system, 3 weeks of not being in school!?! If my daughter wasn't in for her morning class, they were blowing up my phone before I was able to call her out!
I never heard of this story until now and I saw what you saw on the mother too and said she was dead before it got to part about the janitor or shelter?
I think because her mother wrote a note to the school stating she was sick and in the care of Dr. Khalil is why the school didn't report her absence right away if anything the mother is the one who stalled this investigation at every turn how she was never charged is beyond me. I wonder how the boys are doing
I don't have any kids of my own but looking at the young girl's face smiling...its just so much pain fullness thinking what she might have been going through all these years, that is if she is even alive 😢.
That but also even if you do end up having one, work on BREAKING THE CYCLE! My father and mother was abused majority of their lives and chose to NEVER EVER put me through that!! That mother failed her own child and she does not care. Look at how she's acting, it's just another day to her. She definitely sold this poor child.
I cry every time I see it, because we don’t know how that little girl was feeling at that point. At the end of the day she was with stranger she didn’t know, but being a little girl had to depend on him. I’m so angry 😡 watching this. Her mom failed her.
Have you watched the video? I perfectly understood his intent. They asked him about going after the family and holding them responsible. He said he was not family in response to that but that yes he is agreement with that. The video also said that he was distraught at the missing the the child. It’s clear his intent was to say “I don’t have any affiliation with that family other than my sons. It’s not an indictment on how he feels about her, as he said it was special. You all need to stop twisting intent.
But was crying on camera when it was first on the news. He said “I just want my daughter back😢” and now all of a sudden he’s not her family. He’s pathetic and never cared about her or her whereabouts. Everybody failed this innocent little girl😞
I don’t think he meant that in a bad way. I follow both him and Relisha’s mom socials and they are constantly going back and forth with one another. When he brings up things about Relisha to her she tells him stuff like “She’s not your daughter , worry about your own kids” or “You’re not on her birth certificate stop worrying about her”. But he’s the only one keeping Relisha’s name alive.🤷🏾♀️
When you wait a long time to call the police for an emergency, you are afraid to call them. The mom was afraid to call police for days because she was a part of the crime. WHY did she give her daughter to that man? "Because I thought I could trust him" isn't an answer.
This case has ALWAYS been heartbreaking and agonizing, and this case has always haunted me, because it was avoidable, had someone protected her. I personally don’t think she’s alive. (Kahlil purchasing a shovel, lime, and 42-gallon trash bags is an indication that Relisha isn’t alive anymore, in my opinion.) Lime helps the dead body decompose faster and limits the smell, so that’s a huge red flag. I think the janitor - Kahlil Tatum - had been grooming Relisha, gaining the trust of her mother and step-father, and took Relisha to the hotel to sexually abuse her, especially considering he had Relisha for weeks, taking her to see Disney on Ice alone, and was probably pimping her out to others. Do I think her body will ever be found? Unfortunately, no. Kahlil saw a family who was struggling, impoverished, and saw a mother struggling to take care of her children while living in a shelter, and knew that Relisha would be vulnerable for grooming. However, it was Shamika’s responsibility to realize that a 51 year old grown man has no business spending time alone with an 8 year old girl. So many people failed this beautiful little girl. She was worthy of protection and safety. Hands down, the mother was ultimately responsible for her daughter, and I honestly think she sold Relisha to Kahlil for drugs and money, or at the very least, knew that she was being sexually abused by the janitor, and simply didn’t care. The step-father holds responsibility as well, but ultimately, Shamika Young should be ashamed of herself.
I'm sick of the excuses for HORRIBLE mothers. She needs to be held accountable for the death of her daughter! I found out as I got older that my grandma was physically and sexually abused. But she never visited this on her 8 children or grandchildren. Actually she did just the opposite. When I was a little girl I thought she was overprotective, but she was just the right amount of protective. What dummy hands their daughter over to a maintenance man because he "seems nice". I'm outraged and disgusted with the world right now. ☹🤬😢
YES!!! Exactly this!!! I am so digusted with this monster of a woman!! She SOLD her daughter off to that man, and honestly, I think that the janitor sold this poor baby off to other people, and killed himself because he realized law enforcement would catch up to him. I'm in the DMV area, and I can't believe it's been so long since this baby dissapeared. I am praying she is alive and will find her way to the media soon to out her mother and everything that happened to her.
probably in Turkey, Ethiopia and Eritrea combined. smh cuz the way my mother would spazz when I was a little girl lol like I never understood why I was severely sheltered until I saw the real cases out here .smh I can see right through her mother smh
1:50 "It's hard. It's really hard.", yet you're smiling & speaking of her in past tense. He was elated to be rid of her. This child was let down by everyone.
There’s no proof of her giving the child away. It’s only exposed to her missing with the man. She’s not found guilty bc the child was not in her hands last.
It’s because you cannot hold poverty against someone. The law and courts see poverty as an affliction. And if it’s not the mother’s fault for being in a shelter then it’s not her fault that the shelter is full of sketchy people. We all know she’s guilty but how do you prove it?
its crazy and very sad how strangers seem to care more for some of these lost kids then their loves ones. poor baby, her mother failed her, her "step-father" failed her so many ppl failed her and that Tatum creep just sad
It blows my mind that the stepfather said, "I'm not her family, I'm just her stepfather". That spoke volumes.
I believe he meant he had no legal rights to her. He just doesn't know how to word things right.He told the police that he was her father.

There is absolutely NO trauma that justifies giving your daughter to a grown man. Time to stop using trauma as a justification for evil behavior.
Nothing but the truth.
100% we all go through stuff worse than others but still, as traumatic, nothing justifies giving an innocent child to a perve! Most of the time DCF fails these kids too. Smh!!!
You’re right. It doesn’t justify it, but you understand how this came to be. If her mother didn’t value her, would SHE value HER child?
All of this!!!!!!!!!
It's not trauma that makes people abuse. That's a common misconception.
My mother gave me to one of her guy “friend” for a night when I was 9 yrs old for crack in New York. I’m so happy and grateful his elderly mother was home she protected me from him until my mother came back for me the next day. Parents have to do better to protect their children.

If she was such a 'baby," why would you give her to someone who was NOOT her father? What was you're reason for giving of your baby to that man? Did she have an addiction, and traded her daughter, for a "fix?" Relisha's mom needs to be held accountable.
Said I wouldn't be shocked if she smoked Crack rocks.
The Mom needs to be charged! How do you let your child walk off with A man, not see or hear from her in days, and not call the authorities? This is suspicious. She probably sold this baby to this monster.
Because she sold her
Right?! I’m like wtf?! No way would I let my child or any child go away with someone who I don’t know well. I sure as hell wouldn’t wait that long to report her missing! 😮
The first question should be why did they leave her with the children with an open case. Of all that was listed that was a problem, none of the children should have been with this individual, not a 'Mother.'
@@Sunshine-vg9uq This!!!! They do it all the time! Leave the child with the parent KNOWING they're unfit! I've seen it with my own eyes
@@tyrasworld5675 I know, that is what 'their' system is designed to do to Blacks...even those who look 'black' have been ingrained to do it too and say they are Black, no, no, no..
Why are you leaving your little girl with a grown man that you barely know? People need to stop having kids if they don't want the responsibility. Arrest her for child neglect, smh.
Don't demonize men like that.
I don’t think she’s demonizing men, I think she’s pointing out common sense! Who would leave their eight year old daughter with a grown man or women that they don’t know?@@israel4786
A WOMEN SHOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!!!!!
A grown she ‘knew’ smh 😢
@israel4786 Whether it was a grown man or woman, no one should feel okay with just leaving their child with a stranger. You never know what people are capable of. However, in this scenario, it was specifically a grown man that she left her daughter with. And leaving a little girl in the hands of a grown man that she barely knows... is not a good look, hence why the little girl went missing.
I pray everyday, for Relisha's return. I've been covering this story for, about 7 years. It's really heartbreaking.
I don’t believe this poor child is with us anymore😔
The demon literally came out with a suitcase and no little girl in sight when he left the hotel.
And purchased a shovel and industrial trash bags from home Depot @@greenytaddict

This is one of the stories that I never forget. Relisha’s “family” threw her to the wolves. May everyone involved reap what they sow
GOD knows everything.
GOD knows everything.
The same thing happened in my area to a little girl name Shaniya Davis! Her mother sold her for dr*gs!
@@natinapowell3565 Wow! I remember Shaniya Davis too 😭 😭
I remember that one too. And Christy Sipel (not sure of the spelling) who did the same exact thing to her daughter for substances. The child was Kamarie Holland. Her mom goes on national TV to ask for her safe return but one only has to view the video and listen to her. She speaks about her daughter almost in past tense. Both girls had eerie similarities and were the same age.
I didnt let my daughter play with no grown man. Smh
It's sad to me that this is something that needs to be said.
Even her father??
Today, you can't trust grown women
@@StephenAnimationsthat’s exactly the problem. Her daddy is a monster who killed his other kid.
SAD SAD SAD! What the jack frost is happening to our children? GOD BLESS HER AND EVERY CHILD.
I will never forget Relisha. This case broke my heart 10 years ago, and still does. Mom needs to soften her heart and tell the truth. She knows what happened. She willingly gave her child to a grown man and didn’t report her missing until days later. Her father, grandmom , the school all failed Relisha. Poor baby. I pray she will be found.
Me neither. She didn't deserve what her deadbeat ass mother did to her...,
Not a tear in her eye and no eye contact speaking of her daughter Body language tells alot and that bs plea when she spoke to the news told me she aint crap
The other adults were crying and sounded more caring & sincere than her.
Step dad is sketchy, mom is a liar and knows more! Steve Wilkos had this lady on his show she’s been lying for years. It’s such a shame.
Rgt. When he said it was like....paused then uttered mmm smirkingly. That alarmed.
The dad is innocent tho
He knows the mom sold her to the guy and she is not alive.
@@DailyHazards it came out on Steve. Everybody was suspicious of her even dad. But it came out she sold that baby for drugs. That's how he found out.
Wild as it seems, the mom may not know. I keep thinking it may be connected to one of these agencies. Real traffickers have workers and people watching for vulnerable targets. Ya'll keep letting these other people around ya'll children. That man was probably going to bury his wife with that lime, but when the police found her body first. Did they find the lime and stuff he bought from the store? Anyhow, Khalil messed the job up and someone else could've been sent to clean up and make sure there were no connections. Many children have gone missing since Relisha. I noticed this building full of NPOs and the news stories. A few of these teens had pics posted on stores but no further word. The mom has been through a lot and has never crossed me as trusting the police. She knew she would be blamed. And others would know it too! If ya'll never watched "Blacklist" you should. Episode 2:22 was good. This case really needs to be solved. Putting a shelter by the "jail" shouldn't have occurred either. They kept saying RFK stadium in the news story. 😑 God first in everything we do!!! That is key!❤
She was failed by her family and the system
To think that I’ve been to that park and sat underneath the shelter where that guy deleted himself and I didn’t know is crazy to think that I’ve been on the trails around there and possibly walked by her remains is wild
I also do think the mom is guilty smh 🤦♂️
What system? Family is guilty.
Not everything is the governments fault. I only watch this in the background maybe I missed something, but from what I understand she was abducted or her mom had something to do with it. The government is not at fault. In fact Patti just told the school she was going to homeschool her child they never would’ve reported it anyway. We all want to have freedom from the government but yet we always want to say it’s the government’s fault when anything happens.
Blacks always look for some distant white person to point the finger at
She fail her family
I once had an "uncle" that married into the family, I was taught to recognize him as an uncle, but when he started abusing me he was quick to tell me we weren't family which, in his mind, made what he was doing "ok". The "stepfather" said the same thing. If the mother was willing to sell her daughter you'd better believe she was allowing boyfriends, and baby daddies, to have their way with her daughter.
I've survived trauma and there's no excuse. Her mother sold her and everyone around her failed her. I broke the cycle and never put my daughter in danger. You only do things you choose to do.
She gave that baby away, she needs to be locked up and just as accountable, maybe then she'll tell the truth.
She traded that baby for drugs and what ever else that man offered her
She’s dead hello
@@christianortiz4725 We know she's dead, but her mother still needs to be held accountable.
At the time, I was a mandated reporter at a school in DC. This case made me guilt free for calling authorities when there were excessive absences from schools.

😢😢😢that was my condition in 2020 in temporary shelter older man said 👋 to my 5 years old daughter twice at one point he tried to give her candy at the door so my daughter could go outside immediately my heart sank and I became afraid and spoke of the situation to the person in charge at that time during Covid if I never paid attention my daughter would not have been alive today and the man was next to our door.😢😢😢😢, housing is very problematic.
Saw this story years ago and it just stuck with me for years. Her beautiful sad eyes told a story and i never forgot it. My heart broke for this beautiful child and what could have happened to her. I prayed everyday that she would be found. I still pray and hope for her to be alive. 🙏🏽❤️
She was no mother.. A mother would never. 🙌🏿😇🕊️
Exactly....A grown man offer to take my son (8 yrs old) to his house for a visit.... I would NEVER allow my child to be alone with u
EVERRRRRRRRRRRR
I don’t have any kids, but common sense tells me not to let my daughter go off with some man just because I think he looks nice. looks can be deceiving we all know that.
This girl’s story had caught my attention years ago and still stands in my mind today. Everyone failed this poor baby. Step dad saying he is not family is crazy. The teachers seem to care more about her than mom 😢

He technically isn’t family unless he officially adopted the child.
The dad called Steve show. He knew mom did something.

😢😢😢
He said "I was just a guy that was there n had 2 kids with her mom"... like..tf
He just wanted camera time & clout. The whole time he allowed them to call him her father. But when blame got place on the family he’s her “stepfather”. He never cared about her, He just wanted some @$$ from her mom, and the mom gave it to him & popped out babies for him instead of taking care of the one she had already. So he’s right, he’s not her stepfather, he’s her mother’s random n!99@ that’s using her story for clout! Shame on him!
He killed Relisha, that little girl is deceased. He killed his wife, Relisha and then himself ...sickening . Her mother is sick and needs to be in jail for giving her to that man! It was for drugs .
The so called “stepfather” doesn’t seem so trustworthy either.

SHE SOLD HER DAUGHTER TO A DEMON 😢 THAT WOMAN WAS RIGHT... HOW COULD U SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THIS?
DEMONS NEVER SLEEP
After watching this, the mother never looked the camera are the reporter in the eyes, she had kids by this other guy and she wanted to just have the two boys and sold their oldest sister to this guy for sex trafficking. She knows what’s going on
That's why he was a sexual predator preying on her daughter the whole entire time he was grooming for reisha and killer knew what kind of woman she was and used that to his advantage to get to his intended prey he was a wolf in sheep clothing!
I believe that to! She looked like she was a druggie😢
That's a damn shame. That so-called mother gave that poor child away. Why would a school wait 3 weeks before they even bother checking on a child missing from school. SMH
The mother was not even crying during her interview she was trying to force tears smh sad
I remember this like it was yesterday. And I always say out loud every now and then, "Where are you Relisha?" I always kept her in the forefront of my mind. As a mom and grandmother, my soul still aches for her.
The mother allowed a grown man to take her child? What did she think would happen?I have no patience or sympathy for this mother, I only feel sorrow for the little girl.
The staff from the program is way more emotional than the mother smh
It’s both heart breaking and heartwarming. Thinking of how many children are being hurt on a daily basis …😢
Yes! God bless the entire staff Play time❤🙏🏽This Story touches Me then and still til this Day.I pray She is still alive and found one day.
She was a precious child.
Steve Wilkos episode update on Relisha Rudd: ua-cam.com/video/tmAplZuIKQ8/v-deo.htmlsi=6XYM2vY7TEhkmdyC
That poor little girl was doomed from birth. The mother grew up in the foster care system and seems to be learning-disabled. The biological father did prison time for killing another of his biological children. I was living in the DC Metro area when Relisha disappeared and this case has haunted me for years.
It's very haunting, I'll never forget
I come from foster care too and bad boarding schools i did raise ma kids they 14...16. 17 and 23 i just turn 40 i never ever deal with cps or others in ma life we aint all the same there a difference between kids wo got in cps on there own because they bad or kids like me who have parents who do drugs and drink on a daily and tell you everyday they wishes you where dead having a bad start in life does not mean you f up for life...ma kids go to school to older one works never bin in contact with cops or nothing people like to see them they are sweet to others so coming from foster care and being bad parents is not always the case some of us do care for our kids
@@Samanta.van.laar.man hush.
Thanks for sharing this back story.
I grew up in foster homes for 5 years of my childhood. I’m an engineer now. That’s no excuse. It comes down to choices.
I’m not only crying for this baby but also the poor wife that most likely died trying to protect that child from this monster.
She is equally culpable for not reporting that man immediately when he brought a minor home. My man cannot bring an 8 year old and I don't cause a ruckus immediately.
She is not culpable. She died possibly trying to help save the little girl. It is so inappropriate to say what you would or would not do if you were thrust into a situation that you have never been put in. That is very unfair. The lady is deceased, and she did not deserve that.
@@yvonneratcliff47 The child was with them for a while. Not a day. Why keep someone's child for more than 24 hours? She is no saint and I stick to my opinion.
@Yvonne, I'd have to disagree.🙄Like the person said there's no way in he'll you should just pop up with a 8 year old their not related to or that you know. Mind you this wasn't A few minutes. This was days. Are you actually trying to say that after days with this child she didn't know something was up ? I just don't buy that. Plus she married a guy who picks up minors for insidious reasons. You know if your husband is a damn weirdo. Also if she were trying to save her they'd have all been found together. You can't help someone who's not there. I kinda don't believe she's dead though. Sadly she may have been sold to some PDF ring. She may even be out of the country. This happens more often than you'd think. I %100 believe the wife was in on it. They may have been killed by the PDF ring, because you don't really want witnesses still alive after doing something like that. I hope she's alive somewhere.
@@cutandgo we’ll never know her true intentions because both are dead. It just seems as if he was willing to kill her then maybe that’s a testament to how scared the wife could have been to immediately go against him by seeking help for the child. He spontaneously showed up with the child. She might have been trying to go along with him to formulate an exit plan and probably died trying to enact that very plan.
That girl was beautiful and so bright I wish she would have had better people that cared for her n her life…😢
I'm so glad you got your channel back.
Anyone else having trouble following this story? The way it’s told is very disjointed.
Yes, me to
Yes, something not adding up.
Read some of the Washington Post articles around the time Relisha disappeared and articles that have been published throughout the years.
Look at Kendall Rae’s video on Relisha Rudd’s story. I agree this story is choppy.
Is her mother slow ? Tf she talking about … you don’t give no child to NO GROWN MAN !?
What kind of mother would let her child go with anybody? That's sick.

Bless her heart I've always wondered about this baby I hope she is okay and safe I pray that she is found and that we get some closure on this case
“I’m her stepdad. Im not her family. Im just a guy that was there” strong words
Sad
Stepdad you supposed to love and treat her as your blood not as (you were just there)😮
That did not sit right with me either.
I hope every Woman with kids will hear this message and see it for EXACTLY what that Man said it was.. " I was just a guy who was there"
You were her family. When you took her mom as your wife you took on this little girl too. With that said, it doesn't mean you were involved in her disappearance. If you weren't I haven't walked in your shoes so I won't judge you. But so many people failed that beautiful lil girl. It's all so so sad for her. I mean it keeps saying her mother gave her to this man. What does that even mean? I pray for her. At this time I don't think that is going to help her. At one time I watched an episode of Oprah where I think it was four sets of parents i don't really remember. It was awhile ago. But anyway these parents would have bet anything their children would not go with a stranger under any circumstances. A really sweet/nice old man walked up to all of their kids separately. He was carrying a leash and a picture. He simply asked could you please help me find my puppy, showing them a picture of the puppy. I cried a long with their parents as I watched every one of these children go with this man. If I'm not mistaken it took a couple of minutes in each situation. One of the theories was the extremely nice old white man didn't look mean. Not to mention he was very concerned about a little puppy. How could he be bad. That afternoon I asked my own five children how they thought a bad person looked. It blew my mind. They all thought he or she would look like a monster, mean and scary. I had previously told them not to go with anyone. So had the parents on Oprah told theirs. But that man who was an actor portraying a potential bad man/kidnapping pedophile. All he had to do was mention the lost puppy. Preying on their emotions. Their want to help find it before something happened to it. From then on I taught my kids and any other child that a bad person can be anyone. They can look like a nice/good person. But none of that helped with explaining about family members or good friends of the family. How do you explain to a child that a family member could try to hurt them. It's all so sad. I don't believe you had something to do with your step daughters disappearance. So I wish you and yours peace love and happiness. I'm just so sad for that little girl. She needed someone to be there for her. She deserved it!😢❤
Not one tear dropped from the mother's eyes even though she was trying to force them. She knows she gave her daughter away to that demon. I'm so mad that she was never charged and arrested.
I knew I wasn’t the only person who noticed that. She’s faker than a four dollar bill.
Couldn’t imagine losing my daughter smh some people don’t deserve the joy of having children
Rigt
Such a beautiful little angel ! I wish her peace
Watching her walk down that corridor was so emotional and heartbreaking 😢😢😢

Currently in a shelter and I keep my 5 year old son at my hip. I don't trust anyone with or around him. This is tragic. Poor baby girl.
Sening up prayers for this baby for her health, for her mental state, and to find the strength to reach out for help to return home! Lord keep her safe!
As soon as I saw the mother looking down in the beginning as she was being interviewed, I could see her guilt immediately. This is such a tragedy for this child..also another failure of CPS and the school system, 3 weeks of not being in school!?! If my daughter wasn't in for her morning class, they were blowing up my phone before I was able to call her out!
Reminds me of Susan Smith
She would look down, had a smirk on her face and tried her best to cry for the camera
I never heard of this story until now and I saw what you saw on the mother too and said she was dead before it got to part about the janitor or shelter?
I think because her mother wrote a note to the school stating she was sick and in the care of Dr. Khalil is why the school didn't report her absence right away if anything the mother is the one who stalled this investigation at every turn how she was never charged is beyond me. I wonder how the boys are doing

Have you watched the video? I perfectly understood his intent. They asked him about going after the family and holding them responsible. He said he was not family in response to that but that yes he is agreement with that. The video also said that he was distraught at the missing the the child. It’s clear his intent was to say “I don’t have any affiliation with that family other than my sons. It’s not an indictment on how he feels about her, as he said it was special. You all need to stop twisting intent.

Im from DC, and every time i see that picture of her beautiful innocent face, i can't help but shed a tear . still to this day 10 years later 😢
Me too
Oh man! Me too
Funny how he switched to “I’m not her family” when the tough question was asked
But was crying on camera when it was first on the news. He said “I just want my daughter back😢” and now all of a sudden he’s not her family. He’s pathetic and never cared about her or her whereabouts. Everybody failed this innocent little girl😞
He's a dusty
I don’t think he meant that in a bad way. I follow both him and Relisha’s mom socials and they are constantly going back and forth with one another. When he brings up things about Relisha to her she tells him stuff like “She’s not your daughter , worry about your own kids” or “You’re not on her birth certificate stop worrying about her”. But he’s the only one keeping Relisha’s name alive.🤷🏾♀️
Maybe that’s why he said what he said..
It may mean that because he is justva step father there was nothing he could do legally.
This so heartbreaking 💔
When you wait a long time to call the police for an emergency, you are afraid to call them. The mom was afraid to call police for days because she was a part of the crime. WHY did she give her daughter to that man? "Because I thought I could trust him" isn't an answer.
This case has ALWAYS been heartbreaking and agonizing, and this case has always haunted me, because it was avoidable, had someone protected her. I personally don’t think she’s alive. (Kahlil purchasing a shovel, lime, and 42-gallon trash bags is an indication that Relisha isn’t alive anymore, in my opinion.) Lime helps the dead body decompose faster and limits the smell, so that’s a huge red flag. I think the janitor - Kahlil Tatum - had been grooming Relisha, gaining the trust of her mother and step-father, and took Relisha to the hotel to sexually abuse her, especially considering he had Relisha for weeks, taking her to see Disney on Ice alone, and was probably pimping her out to others. Do I think her body will ever be found? Unfortunately, no.
Kahlil saw a family who was struggling, impoverished, and saw a mother struggling to take care of her children while living in a shelter, and knew that Relisha would be vulnerable for grooming. However, it was Shamika’s responsibility to realize that a 51 year old grown man has no business spending time alone with an 8 year old girl.
So many people failed this beautiful little girl. She was worthy of protection and safety. Hands down, the mother was ultimately responsible for her daughter, and I honestly think she sold Relisha to Kahlil for drugs and money, or at the very least, knew that she was being sexually abused by the janitor, and simply didn’t care. The step-father holds responsibility as well, but ultimately, Shamika Young should be ashamed of herself.
Heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔🙀😱😭😭😭
Very well said
Precisely articulated and I think the stepfather was probably the first person the “mother” sold that baby to.😢
Have they ever found the guy on camera? I wonder if he was ever arrested or questioned?
I totally agree with you 💯 I pray that she's recovered and given a proper burial...
I'm sick of the excuses for HORRIBLE mothers. She needs to be held accountable for the death of her daughter! I found out as I got older that my grandma was physically and sexually abused. But she never visited this on her 8 children or grandchildren. Actually she did just the opposite. When I was a little girl I thought she was overprotective, but she was just the right amount of protective. What dummy hands their daughter over to a maintenance man because he "seems nice". I'm outraged and disgusted with the world right now. ☹🤬😢
I am too !
YES!!! Exactly this!!! I am so digusted with this monster of a woman!! She SOLD her daughter off to that man, and honestly, I think that the janitor sold this poor baby off to other people, and killed himself because he realized law enforcement would catch up to him. I'm in the DMV area, and I can't believe it's been so long since this baby dissapeared. I am praying she is alive and will find her way to the media soon to out her mother and everything that happened to her.
Well, many of these things can’t happen if there is an Active father.
probably in Turkey, Ethiopia and Eritrea combined. smh cuz the way my mother would spazz when I was a little girl lol like I never understood why I was severely sheltered until I saw the real cases out here .smh I can see right through her mother smh
I pray 🙏 they find her.
1:50 "It's hard. It's really hard.", yet you're smiling & speaking of her in past tense. He was elated to be rid of her.
This child was let down by everyone.
His wife found out what he was doing to her and made it aware she was going to report him. That coward murdered both of them.
The mom should never have custody she was not in her right mind and could not provide a safe environment for the child
Relisha’s grandmother was just as worst. You can tell the lack of parenting was generational.
The mom sounds ignorant
What parent let some man take their child.
@@southernivy1707 yes sad and terrible a vicious cycle
@@mlynettepinky595 she was on crack
@@southernivy1707 “Just as worst”. You can tell the lack of education. 🙄
Why is her Mother not in Prison?Its obvious she sold this child and neglected her!
That's what I keep asking, seems like the police in DC are not doing their job
@@tgirl1762DC never do their jobs, trifling police department
There’s no proof of her giving the child away. It’s only exposed to her missing with the man. She’s not found guilty bc the child was not in her hands last.
It’s because you cannot hold poverty against someone. The law and courts see poverty as an affliction. And if it’s not the mother’s fault for being in a shelter then it’s not her fault that the shelter is full of sketchy people. We all know she’s guilty but how do you prove it?
@@USSEnterprise-vc9yf It's not about poverty,she failed to report her child missing,that has nothing to do with her being in a Shelter.
I’m glad they still showing this case
its crazy and very sad how strangers seem to care more for some of these lost kids then their loves ones. poor baby, her mother failed her, her "step-father" failed her so many ppl failed her and that Tatum creep just sad
