The prosecution lawyer got her to admit that she’d already seen those photos of her son prior to today
@@mshah5786He's awesome! He caught her in several lies where she'd just lied then had to admit it! She's so evil! No telling what else her poor child went through. I also think Paul was abused. He's mentally challenged as well.
No way she's not going to prison. Oh yes she totally faked throwing up.
😭😭😭
Pretty lady in pink on court tv is wrong the other kids were abused Timothy was tortured and special needs is not her reason. She’s mentally ill and psycho that’s the “reason”
Obviously acting her way out of trouble, 🇬🇧
I am SICK & TIRED of hearing “She had a tortuous childhood herself”.
MILLIONS OF US LIVED IN HELL AS CHILDREN.
MY “mother” put me in the hospital 9 times. NINE TIMES. She broke my nose 4x, my jaw twice, my right arm & both of my ribs, on 3 occasions. I got to eat MY dinner out of a trash can full of USED cat litter; the only “meal” I was allowed. I lived that HELL until I was 14.
The ONLY way I was able to escape her was the night she decided to strangle me in my sleep & throw my body out of my bedroom window, while it was CLOSED. By the grace of GOD, an off-duty LEO had JUST turned onto our street & his headlights allowed him to see me lying on the ground.
I am now a mother of six. I would LIGHT MYSELF ON FIRE before I harmed one of my babies… I’ve had PTSD since I was a small child, I’ve lived with the horrifying trauma of my childhood my entire life. But you know what I HAVEN’T done?
HURT AN INNOCENT CHILD, or ANYONE for that matter.
The “justifications” I’ve seen for how this POS 🗑 behaves, are UNBELIEVABLE. We ALL have a CHOICE.
I CHOOSE to love my children. I CHOOSE to ensure they are happy & loved & NEVER have to question if they are SAFE with their Mama.
No-one can EVER convince me this pile of 💩 is human. And I pray her karma is SWIFT.
Good momma❤ sorry to hear what you have been through as a child. My fiance he been through the same bad childhood he loves our daughter to death
Amen!
Amen to that. Hope your life now is great. I didnt have a good one either but she thinks its her excuse. Wish i was going to jail with her as this story has moved me beyond words.
I pray your life is better
I’m so sorry this happened to you 🙏🏻❤️ I sincerely hope you are healing and wish you the happiest of lives. I don’t know if what happened for you was generationally passed on. Please know you aren’t alone, and that it was never your fault 🙏🏻❤️🌸
My grandma used to break chairs over my dad’s back and not feed him for a week. He’s the kindest, wisest person I know. It’s no excuse to become a disgusting monster.
Your poor dad. So true. If we are abused the last thing we want to do is repeat it 😢
@@binkybunnysway9431/8 abused become an abuser later in life. Violence begets violence. It’s a vicious cycle. Th other 7/8 can overcome thier trauma
🙏for dad..,SO PROUD HE OVERCAME!!! BROKE THE MOLD!! 😔 HALLELUJAH, AMEN
Aww. Please hug your dad extra tight next time you see him for me. ❤ I'm so sorry.
Aww. Please hug your dad extra tight next time you see him for me. ❤ I'm so sorry.
I have PTSD and I've never abused a dog or child, assaulted anyone, raped or killed anyone. This is so gross.
Thank you for saying this. I was abused every way possible as a child that lead me into an abusive relationship for 14 years. I never abused my children and I made sure ether never felt or was abused by their father that the only time I felt strength was protecting my children from having an abused I had a faced. As a parent that is our only job protect protect protect ur children 😢
Me too!
@@Gemi_ni82I'm so sorry...
What is she claiming to have caused PTSD?
@@Gemi_ni82You are a strong person! I agree with the perspective that being abused does not excuse becoming an abuser as an adult. People make choices
The monster got life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 150 years. Not good enough. I think she should get ice baths every day, and only allow her to eat every other day.
I don’t know about women’s prisons, but if in a male prison, her fellow prisoners would likely see to that. Child abusers are generally despised by other prisoners.
So often?
Best and truest comment on here!!! Xxxx
and should only eat the "extreme hot sauce" with bread that she claimed would "hurt her stomach" but its "okay" to feed it to this innocent child.
I wish America was an “eye for an eye” country. Makes me laugh whenever I hear stories this awful, and weirdos say the death penalty is “cruel and unusual punishment” 🙄
Her pride in keeping her plants alive but not her child is horrifying
😢
and her rolling her eyes towards the judge, like he was supposed to correct such an unfair question about her plants...
@123pickles bruh she’s basically on the stand giving herself on a silver platter. In the court of law the the prosecution has to be professional regardless of the circumstances. He’s trying too hard to be spicy.
That part!
They need to let her keep talking. She's running her mouth a lil bit too much.🤬✌🏾🤔
‘I lose weight very quickly. I assume he gets that from me’ what a disgrace. No. He got it from you torturing and starving him.
Exactly
I didn't think of eggs because it was middle of the day.
@@Thats_Right80 exactly! Insanity
And she looks pretty chubby so she never had to lose any weight to even be able yo know if she loves weight fast. Kept herself well fed
@@Geewhizzy exactly
As a parent I've never referred to any of my children going into the kitchen and eating food as they "stole"
right? the only people I've heard talk like that are parents who starved their children to death or close to it.
Yeah ... pretty damn insane.
Exactly.
" we had a shared Easter basket and he had already eaten his portion!" WTF????? Who is the child here??? It's not like he stole it from a store!! It was his own damn families food !!! And OMG lol, when I had 2 growing teenage boys, how is wished I could lock my fridge, freezer and pantry lol😂😂😂 They ate SO much!! Heck, I used to bake 2 loaves of bread everyday to try and fill em up before dinner was ready 😂
Or "sneaked" food
Is it me or does this woman make you physically sick?
I can’t even stand her face there are not enough words to describe how hideous she is
I can’t stand looking at her! Ugh! What an evil disgusting woman! She sits there acting all smart, makes me want to slap her
Shes messed up in her brain for sure, I would bet on actural brain damage from childhood, these people wont rehabilitate so life sentence is fair. I hope one day we could diagnose this behaviour in children soon enough and have some kind of treatment, otherwise its straight fate. What is even more horrifing, is that we had here few cases of such crimes but done by whole family of 6 people, thats crazy cuz even any medical state of brain cant play role in such group mentality...
The benign face of evil.
Pasty. Lumpy. Miserable.
I’ve only heard a bit and it makes my blood boil 🤬
This woman is clearly a sociopath. She has no emotions whatsoever. No feelings. No empathy.
Yeah. She said she was busy so even looking at the photo of her starving child that she was sent couldnt distract her enough and THATS why she just said "give him some bread". She would NEVER have thought of " cook him some eggs" at THAT time of day when she was sooo busy!
It disturbs me beyond comprehension. She is colder than the ice baths she forced on her poor child!
Psychopath not sociopath.
Atlantic cold. Back of the fridge under the frozen peas cold. To stay in the icebath-terms.
But seriously though. This woman seemed to have a very weird and disturbing powerstruggle with her teenage son. I've seen a big part of her trial and I could not for the heck of it understand why she did what she did. Until she said something in terms of: he still wouldn't behave. And: he thought he could get away with it. So she looked at her son as a "normal" teenager that was misbehaving.
That's....I don't know.
If you take things that far? You're a psychopath. She's too well educated to be a sociopath in my opinion. I feel so sorry for all of these people...this woman is not in a happy or healthy state.
What punishment did she get?
She's clearly a sadist... needless to say very dangerous!
Acting like she hasn’t had a front row seat to his death is a new level of low.
* front row NOT roll
@kristinebailey6554 We all understood what the OP was saying. Did you just need to feel superior in your pathetic life?
@@nobodysbusiness3533Staaahhp!
And she thinks people are going to buy her act.
@@kristinebailey6554 Does "peach-tree dish" mean anything to you?
Just take a minute to imagine what this child was going through. He was isolated, cold, with no food, standing with hands on his head for hours facing a wall, and asking for permission to use the bathroom. Did he have to hold it? Hunger pains? Timothy was Handcuffed and shackled by people who were supposed to love and protect him. I imagine his thoughts and feelings and being alone. Unimaginable…
😔😔😔
😢😓
When his body was originally found he was wearing an adult diaper. I think the sad truth is he often had to soil himself and was denied access to the toilet.
That poor boy went through horrifying things 😢 I can't imagine what he was thinking & feeling. Unfortunately pain, fear and anxiety were probably what he felt the most.
Some of this, I don't have to imagine.😢
I saw a tiktok of a recorded phone conversation she had from jail with a friend after she was sentenced, complaining that it was "too cold" and she "didn't like the food"! The audacity and entitlement this woman has makes me soooo enraged!!!😡 That poor boy 😥
I’m surprised and shocked she even has a friend! That person should probably be in jail too!
Wrong. That was her son saying that on the phone not her.
No it was her
I've listened to Paul And Shanda's call from jail, they both complain of being cold, and the bad food!! Shanda has a friend from law school who calls her. But her friend and her husband have been giving her legal advice. Shanda's friend was telling her about a case who didn't get as much time, just over malnourished , she told her she would email the case, So Lawyer Shanda can read over it. Lol
@@RebeccaBerry-qv6kg A sh*t-house lawyer. Those are the best ones. They know all the loopholes and the reasons that the law doesn't apply to their particular case. I knew a guy in the Army who was his own sh*t-house lawyer. Went from being flagged for promotion and on a physical-limitation profile to being chaptered out of the Army with a Dishonorable Discharge!
She had absolutely NO soul.
Zero!!! 👹🤬🤬🤬💔
*HAS! She’s still alive, she’s still believing all this.
Look up appetite demons. She is infested.
@harrisonhanson2998 She's not believing anything. She's an habitual liar.
Exactly - she seems to be a narcissist who thinks only of herself; her husband was granted custody of the children - that being rarely done, means she had done something(s) far worse than having an affair. Then when he died, the older kids moved on with their lives, the younger ones had no where to go but back to their mother not realizing probably she could not legally have them. It's a shame the step mother didn't want to keep them (or the older kids felt they could not cope with them.) So they were back in the abusive situation - so very sad. Hopefully the youngest will be ok where he is now, but Paul will need someone strong to minister to him & bring him to God. Unfortunately, Timothy had no chance, because narcissists cannot stand to be seen with anyone who is disabled in anyway because they think themselves as perfect versus everyone else; so Timothy surely is now at peace in God's Heavenly Kingdom.
That was brilliant of the lawyer to deliberately say the wrong weight knowing her hubris would make her correct him. She fell right into it. Damn witch.
her memory was PERFECT on that... 🤦
AGREED! I was also impressed with the line of questioning about the dogs. He did a fantastic job.
That part! 🙌
The plants never missed a feeding🤣 I know it was deemed irrelevant, but f, he ain't wrong lol
@@katiecurtis9730 right!? I feel bad, but I LOL'd at that zinger.
She remembers EVERYTHING "bad" Timothy does but has no memory of her torturing him. She's a Disgusting Monster
Selective memory.
@@alfonzo7822not being rude or anything I’m genuinely curious, do you watch explore with us, (EWU) true crime stories, on UA-cam? I ask because they have a lot of body language and behavioral analysis talking points, (I know selective memory is a universally well known term) it’s just that I hear it a lot on that channel. I’m just curious how many people across UA-cam watch that channel that’s all.
Exactly. Sickening.
Selective towards her "merit" of herself. Disgusting and creepy. What differentiates that monster from a capital murderer?
Exactly!!! I'm so sickened by her act- her PTSD- maybe her husband had a stroke because of what she did to him!!!! This woman is a nasty monster 👹
She is a liar and an actress- NO ONE can believe her because she doesn't remember the torture? The hot sauce, the diarrhea and standing naked on a wall.... oh she is so awful!!
This woman thinks she is so smart but she is just plain EVIL. She must be put away in prison where she belongs. How about her two sisters that have not spoken to her in 20 years!!! There is a lot of shady things wrong with this evil murderer. She isn't even human- she should never see daylight again. Is the death penalty on board?? Or maybe she can be tortured the way she did it to her son! An eye for an eye?
I love how Shanda's defense attorney lets the prosecutor cross examine her without objections or interruptions. He know she's evil.
No...that wasn't why.
did you s👀 the interview her atty Mr Johnson gave on court tv w/ micheal & the blonde lady, after the sentencing?
(micheal, tried to throw Mr. Johnson under the bus... and
Mr. Johnson set him straight & took over the interview... Mr Johnson is a Man of integrity...
*he said we all knew she was guilty and he was fairly, accurately, sincerely doing he job according to the constitution*
defense did their part, the prosecution did their part, jury did their part. he also is was never a win or lose situation but that the game was played by the rules.
if you haven't seen it you should go watch it, hear what he has to say. you view defense atty's in a whole different light...
(Shanda Vander Ark's Defense Attorney speaks the court TV)
He did say it was the hardest case he’s worked on, and in a roundabout way he also said justice was served. The message was basically, “I took an oath to ensure everyone gets fair representation, but I think the outcome was fair.”
@@notinavacuum5966 he didn't say it a roundabout way, he said it *DIRECTLY*
(justice was served) by everyone doing there part the way like he said
way the game is played.
(not that it was a game, just use that is a euphemism) that ALL rules were followed, correctly
@@runoz2839 No need to capitalize it. I can read!
You’re right. He was direct about that. I was going off memory, and I felt he was being as diplomatic as possible while still being direct. I liked his attitude, and he seems to have great values.
@@notinavacuum5966 cool ya' *JETS*
I just like the way, capitalization, l👀ks...
*no pun intended*
🤗
“The plants sure never missed a feeding.” Pure ownage.
I laughed so hard when he said that. They shouldn’t have interrupted him
So glad he didn’t go easy on her
Proud 😁 of having taken care of the 🌿🌿plants by feeding them, but of course she didn't hate😡 the plants. By the way,. to this kind of "women" often have their plants 💀die: striking. Lack of soul and capacity 💀🪨😡🤮🤮 to be a secretary in Hell.
@@bakedinthekitchen92RIGHT. like wow
the courts need to be so professional tf. this women starve her baby and feed her plants. he had every right to call her out !!😭😭
why *
She didn’t vomit. She put her fingers down her throat to puke, but all she did was make gagging sounds. She puked about as much as she cried actual tears.
I didn't hear anything go into the pail except spit lol
I gag when I puke. But I do think she made herself puke.
Yes totally agree just like the panic attack was fake. I have panic attacks and they're not like she acted. She was just sitting there. Sickening...
She's nothing but an attention seeking monster
Absolutely correct.
Any person, much less a parent, who systematically tortures and terrorizes their own child is not a parent. That title is reserved for people who love their children.
What you’re looking for is called an “adjective.”
Totally agree
What a wicked woman. Pure
You can’t judge a book by its cover, but in this case we’ll make an exception to that rule: She looks and projects Evilness and Sadism
What @hyperionssupreme551 is very much explanatory without an "adjective" Just saying.@@pipermccool
She’s saying that she doesn’t remember anything but she remembered soooo much in detail
I love how unmoved the judge is by her performance
He is likely used to malignant narcissists, psychopaths etc who have no conscience and live by their own playbook.
Facts !!! 💯
@@antoinettenovella1630I can’t imagine how hard it is to be a judge in this messed up world
She's guilty as hell, but I doubt she can puke on command.
I swear I seen a slight smirk on his face at first. lmao!!
What an evil woman, to say she didn't want Timothy in foster care but would rather torture and starve him to death is beyond me. Evil, evil, evil.
She's a hard, harsh master of her prison camp for children with disabilities that she brought into this world
nonsense@@eddiea2446
Because she didn't want to give up the dollar amount that she received because of his disabilty
@@eddiea2446What an ignorant thing to say.
Why do men procreate with these disgusting women?
He did that on purpose. He purposly got the weight wrong so she would correct him and he was honeatly smart to do it. He was showing that she CLEARLY remembered. Whether she said she did or not she remembered the weight and she remembered those texts whether she admits it or not. She remembers.
She remembers not having eggs this is nuts
I've seen this technique before with narcissists on the stand. Make small mistakes with the details and they feel smart correcting the record.
@@ElizabethT45 yep, my thought while watching was "how you gonna claim you *dont remember* while correcting tiny details such as eggs or weight or whatever" that is complete bull. Just shows how people can be. I swear the older i get the more i feel that human beings are just inherently evil.
@@haliemaxine3734 On Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he does this Colbert Questionnaire where he asks his guests the same 15 questions. He asked Andre 3000 what the most dangerous animal was and he said "humans." Accurate.
I noticed that too. She's so stupid she didnt realize that. Haha.
I hope every single mother in that prison allows her to feel exactly what she put her son through. That poor boy was tortured by the person who was supposed to love him the most. Betrayal at the highest level and she deserves everything she is going to get.
I am a single mom and I’d for sure make sure 🤬
Her line about her "managing to keep the plants alive" is WILD. I'm glad the prosecuter clapped back.
Me too
That was freaking UNBELIEVABLE!!
He said, "The plants never missed a feeding"
I almost fell over.
"Who else needs to escape except a prisoner?" That comment from the Prosecuting attorney made me clap out loud.
A hostage, but he wasn't even worth that to this monster.
If you have truly been through an abusive, traumatic childhood, the LAST thing you’d want to do is repeat that same behavior over again, against your child. I am so damn tired of hearing that excuse.
Edit: I know this isn’t reality. But from MY experience with abuse and neglect, I truly cannot understand why and how people continue the cycle. I know there is a lot that goes into the psychology of why, but I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. There’s no excuse.
Actually sometimes the abused child continues to abuse her kids
Not that it's the same, but similar, that's like parents who didn't have parents in their lives who aren't there for their own children. For example, my child's father didn't have his father around growing up.. so I assumed he would never want our daughter to know how that feels. Because he knows how it feels. Instead, he chose not to be there. Hurt people hurt people, I suppose.
@@ashleighbaugh9839 I’m so sorry to hear that. Exactly. You’d think if someone lived through it, they’d do everything to make it not happen again. I’m sure you’re an amazing mom ❤️
THANK YOU.
You are so goddamn right, the abuse I suffered gives me no right at all to abuse others and like you say it is the LAST thing i'd ever want to inflict on another person. It's bullshit.
"Who else needs to escape but a prisoner?".....exactly!
A slave in the 1800's
You know it’s bad when even the judge can’t hide or mask his look of sheer disgust.
IKR. The judge's face is priceless.
also that poor officer that had to read those text messages with the lady on the stand you could tell how discusted he was with her and these text messages made him ill he darted his eyes towards her many times reading those texts i felt sorry that they had to read the texts plus remeberi i bet the read every single one of them and they know more that was done to this poor child we only got snippits of the text wish there were transcripts or documenttation on any of her stuff where is the prelim hearings and other thigs like interogations tapes ec in these typeso f crimes
@@nursingeducationtutor6480Yes I noticed that as well. I could tell he knew she was faking it.
Oh can you ever see the look of disgust on his face....anyone in their sane mind can see right through what this monster did to her own child.😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How is she actually going to even have the audacity to throw up when this is all her own work? She did every bit of it.😢
And continually saw him like that.
She DIDN'T throw up. It was an sct.
It 100% was an act. She is ablsolutley disgusting. @@michelleduncan9965
It's all a show.
It's even worse when you consider how Paul sent her photos of Timothy's emaciated body and she just replied with "give him bread"-
Savage move by the prosecutor. Damn good job.
Her correcting the prosecutor over the exact weight.. I knew that her memory failures were a lie. She forgot right before trial.
She fell right into that..fantastic work by the prosecution
Made her throw up, that was so clever
And how he said only a prisoner needs to “escape” - great work.
👏👏👏
Psychopathic tendencies run in families. My mother is a psychopath and recruited my brother and sister to torture me when I as a child. I am thankful I was able to get away from them when I was 16.
I'm really sorry that happened to you.
Funny I wanted my mom’s attention. Yet she was horrible towards me. This lady is bat crazy. Personality is so thick and controlling. No chance from beginning.
I am so glad you got free. No one should be abused, especially a child
Thank God you got away
"plants never missed a feeding then" " shes proud of her plants" I love this prosecutor!!! This "thing" is beyond vile, evil, disgusting, etc!!!!!!!
The Lord will judge her, after the other inmates send her to Him. Its pretty much a guarantee at this point. What remains of her life in prison is going to be absolute hell for her once general population gets word of what she has done. I hope she receives the Lords forgiveness and accepts the Lord Jesus, because she doesn't have long now.
@@ryanw2553gods done worse thing don’t be so quick to assume
@@ManeInDaHatagree! 👌
The saddest part about this story is that there are other kids currently in this situation with as much hope for survival from their parents torment as Timothy. Keep an eye on your neighbours and friends, these things happen right under your nose.
I went to school with Timothy(he went by the name Tim Tim) from 6-9th grade before he moved to Michigan. He was the sweetest kid and was always the happiest person in the room. We loved him and he loved us. The signs of abuse were so obvious but as kids we didn’t understand what abuse signs looked like. His cloths were nasty and too small for him he had holes in his shirts because he chewed the collar. He had to have his head shaved ball multiple times because he got lice so much and he smelled terrible and who knows how often he had taken showers. Every day at lunch he would walk around and ask everyone if he can have their milk or food they wouldn’t eat and he would hurry over to his table and try to down it all I’m guessing that was because he wasn’t allowed to eat at home and maybe get in trouble if he brought it home and if he didn’t finish it during lunch he would put it all in his back pack and eat it or drink it during class. I wish they described tim Tim’s personality more in the trial. He was such a good kid. I remember they had our entire class sit in the gym while we waited for something and he sang a song for all of us. I just wish I could go back and give him a hug and tell him he was worth something. Years later and I still can’t get over his death it just can’t get over how a personality like his can just disappear. I’m a senior in highschool now and still think about him all the time. The rage I have for his mother is beyond words I saw her one time at the school and you could see in her eyes how she had no care for him I wish I could’ve seen the signs
🇺🇸😱🫣😔
Why the school did not report his abuse???? Why???? How old was he???
@@mariademartini157 they did report these things multiple times to DHS but there is only so much they can do given the circumstances and I knew him from the ages 11-15
Oooohhhhh it’s other kids aswell as the littel boy
“How is it argumentative! She’s clearly proud of keeping her plants alive”… silence from the judge and everyone. Such a good jab.
For real tho
Her son died of continuous abuse and starvation but she is busy making angry faces at the questions like she's being falsely accused. What a demon. RIP to her poor son.😢
Hypocrisy at its finest
🤮 She is one evil b.
She fed her plants but not her son…..lock her up for eternity….
💯 was just about to comment on this! Checks on the plants and cares more about them than her own kid - manages to keep THEM alive. Sickening. 😣💔
“Hell is empty, and all the Devils are here.”
The fact that she was incredibly proud of herself for keeping those plants and training dogs, yet blatantly neglecting and abusing a helpless child, it’s terrifying. This woman is scary
Satan is waiting for her
PTSD?!? I have PTSD along with a number of other mental health disorders… sick of people using their mental health as an excuse to not take accountability for their terrible actions!
Her puking when she saw his picture is an act! This women deserves jail for life.
agreed, so fake!
Yep
@@gregschuur8767idc if it was fake or real life in prison for that monster
Hiding below the stand so no one can see her...
@@yeesh9215Yes she was just gagging and coughing.
This is what pure evil looks like.
And narcissism.
So true
The fact that she’s even trying to defend any part of what she did makes me sick. And it’s 100% clear she favored her youngest and hated Timothy.
I agree and always usually if she never had contact with Timothy from birth on she would not have a natural affection so yes she would favor the youngest cuz he’s always been with her from birth on .. I know that for sure
I think she should be made to look at those pictures EVERY day for the rest of her miserable life!
I don't think she favored her youngest, I think she was manipulating him to do her dirty work. You can see in his testimony that he was definitely abused also.
@@ramonatanceusz9695she has a 7yr old im talking about.
@@Slakker79That's even more alarming. God only knows what she did to the little one physically and mentally.
Her having water to drink while she talks about torturing her son to death just gets under my skin.
EVIL, not nuts. PURE EVIL.
She is a control freak who abused and bullied her child to death. How he suffered.
She’s not a control freak, she is a narcissistic sociopath.
Yes poor boy had a long and gruelling death
Tortured...abused and bullied is not strong enough to describe what she did.
Children children children
Shame, poor boy..
This is the first I’ve heard about this case.
Utterly horrifying.
That poor child. 😢
Me too and I'm thoroughly disgusted, how many other kids are out there being starved and beaten. I'm horrified 😭💔🤬
yes I've been down the Ruby Franke rabbit hole meanwhile this even more gruesome situation is taking place. 😢Frightening!
That baby won't have see her face. No more God got that baby better care shes nothin but a fuckin low life
The body cam footage video shows her performance at home when the police first came.
God could only have mercy on her soul,
Because no one else could
No loving human could even understand how evil..
I hope God is holding Timothy & he is warm and having all the best of foods..
I wish demons like her would have just given Timothy over to someone else..
it’s that simple..
she didn’t because she is pure evil…..
She's gonna get more than an ice bath in jail when the other women in there find out what she did. Shame on her
probably not unfortunately, We like to think Jail will be extra punishment but unless she does something specifically in there to make someone angry she’ll live a long time.
🙄 she's going to prison with other women who have done worse or same rhings!
You are saying those in prison are better people or worse people?
@@yl9941 child abusers are the worst. some of those other prisoners would do anything to see their kids and she treated hers like nothing
This crazy person is so far removed from normal people that she doesn't understand why we think she did something wrong.
Not crazy. Pure evil.
She's not crazy, she's a walking characterological disorder: a disorder of MORAL character. She's either a narcissist, a borderline (most likely), or a sociopath.
These people walk amongst us and especially flock to extremist religions, extremist politics, lead cults, and are abusers of all types. Domestic abusers who are male abuse their spouse and children. The female domestic abusers abuse and control their children, and manipulate their spouses (often with sex and/or flattery).
There are so many of these people in society, and they get away with beating, controlling, abusing, and neglecting their children because people "don't want to interfere". They especially love to homeschool their kids so no one outside of her range of control (teachers and administrators) can't report the abuse and neglect (or the child falling asleep in class). They'll deprive them of medical care if their is no spouse/family member to make them take the child to see a physician or dentist.
@@NotSoNormal1987perhaps evil and crazy too
Oh she understands alright.
She understands because she the court noted she was performing her law clerk duties until she was arrested.
When someone is innocent, they have nothing but questions. When someone is guilty, they have nothing but answers.
True. Dat....
This is exactly right.
So true! Great comment.
answers and excuses
Great Statements!!! So true!!!
The fact that she didn’t raise her oldest child, nor have custody of the 15y/o, and hadn’t been in touch with her two sisters in years, is very telling!!
Some people who know her said she is anti-social and MEAN. I can believe that without a shred of doubt.
All four of her children but the youngest from a different husband were removed by child protective for abuse and neglect from both parents, then at one point and after it was only the father who was able to regain custody of all four kids he was told point blank by the judge at the time he was given custody that the mother was never to be around any of them unsupervised until 18 and how the father is not being charged with dumping his vulnerable child on this abusive monster is bizarre to me. I can see how the oldest son became involved because this was done gradually by his mother who kept saying that this was what needed to be done for Tim's own good. Add to it Paul being an abused neglected child himself I can see why even though his mind knew it was wrong he kept going along with it.
That was the FAKEST "vomiting" scene I've ever witnessed... Like a young kid trying to get out of going to school smh 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The fact she says she "managed to keep them alive pretty well" when talking about PLANTS WHILE ON TRIAL FOR STARVING AND MURDERING HER SON IS BATSHIT INSANE
Imagine being on the jury and hearing that. She should have to have those photos in front of her every day for the rest of her life.
@@Moonhootie "Plants never missed a feeding then, did they?"
Good catch.
She literally said out loud that she “managed to keep her plants alive pretty well”….but couldn’t manage to quit torturing her son and keeping him alive. Wow. Her plants were treated better than her own innocent child. She really is nuts!
To be honest, even though he's a great judge, I was disappointed that His Honor sustained the defensive objection to the prosecutor's question, "Those plants never missed a meal, did they?"
I thought that it was a very relevant, rhetorical question which was right on point.
Why is she acting so surprised, shocked or upset? She caused the little boys death !!!
She was fine when she was abusing that poor child 😖
It's a typical narc reaction, they never take accountability especially not around people who actually have the power over them. They play games, always. Just a game to her as narcs like to be seen as the best..in private though or to those they feel powerful over, they show their true face but they are still always manipulating. They're exhausting and dangerous like her sometimes
I think her reaction was fake. She wants to gain sympathy and make it look like she was shocked.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was an act and there is nothing vomit-like in the bin
Uhh … she bathed that same boy just hours before he died, so why the mock surprise?
Narc lol
She had the nerve to be disgusted and throw up at something she did.
She was a Judge's Clerk and a very clever woman. She knows exactly what she's doing and she is a disgusting excuse for a mother and supposed human-being. She must have forgotten a lot about her job too, with all those PTSD blackouts when she gets stressed. She has tortured and killed one child and abused all the others, hopefully not beyond repair, but I doubt they will ever recover after being raised with a sociopathic, sadistic, narcissist, for a mother. She is more disgusting by trying to play the victim. She should be going away for life.
Not that clever . She was transparent on the stand .
That kid is an abuser. I hate to break it to you but some kids can be intentionally evil. They're not all angels incapable of this. Ted Bundy Jeffree Dahmer all abused animals as achildren.
Oh she will be. I’m sure she’ll never step foot into the outside world ever again.
i only started watching some of this case tonight,, i listened to pauls testimony,, what sentence is he getting or did he get?
@@emilycochrane78 He is getting a separate trial
I rescued a kid like this with the same name. His parents where telling him to stand outside in the snowy freezing cold with only a t shirt and underwear on. They threw him out when he turned 18. I saw him out on the street and I took him home to give him a better start. This is so sad. I hope she never sees the outside of prison ever.
Thankful for people like you.
❤
off topic, but are you from Medford, MA? I'm in MA. thank you for helping that innocent, little child. it's amazing he has the same name!
I grew up in Medford, Oregon. Helped that kid in Boise, Idaho. We still talk from time to time. He's doing good.
@@medfordJimmy that's great!! 😄 it's nice to meet good people. thanks for being one!
The flippin audacity of this cow saying " he loses weight quickly, I assume he got that from me " 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Rest in peace dear Timothy. I am sorry society and those around you failed to protect you from these disgusting things.
I'm part of society & I did absolutely nothing to fail this kid. ridiculous thing to say.
Society??? How? What the heck??
Wow. Relax ppl! Some self-absorbed people here think we’re talking about them. It may not have been you, but society did fail him. Selfish…. Relax ! There is nothing to take offence to.
@@sorrowfulvixxx the world doesn't revolve around you. This is not about you.
This comment should be pinned.
Psychopaths are good actors 🧏🏽♀️🤮
I bet that she’s sticking her evil fingers down her throat to make herself 🤮, just like she told her son to do to his brother..
Not if you know the truth. Then they just seem 100% crazy. They are
She's not a good actor, everyone can tell she's a lier
Just like my ex wife.
This is so disgusting. I couldn’t imagine my 4 babies not having access to food when they are hungry or just feeling snacky. I couldn’t imagine my babies not having access to love, or warmth, or comfortable baths, or kindness. This world is full of so much evil it’s so unfair.
Exactly! If my son wants a snack at midnight he still wakes me up and ask and I have never once denied him food at any times. It’s so sickening someone could even deny a child let alone your own child food.
Let me get a hold of her!!!!!
Siri didn't mess anything up. Nasty beaoooch. I wouldn't help that sick witch with nothing. Why didn't the siblings call the police. I hate her.
And he was being devious for "sneaking" toys to play with.
Can you imagine that? A child being "devious", for wanting to play with a toy? When she bitches about him taking things apart. Wouldnt allowing him to play with toys, help deter him from doing things like that?
Exactly! If a child's needing a snack give them one. They're growing like weeds and need proper nutrition to grow. I would never deny my child food or warmth or a nice warm bath before bed. I don't care if she had a bad childhood that would make most people do everything in their power to break the cycle.
punished kid because he kept them awake. So she stayed awake to punish kid for keeping her awake. Lawyer says "does that make sense", defendent "Oh we are insomniacs so it's not a big deal for us to stay awake and punish our kid". Why punish the kid then
almost like she’s just a lying sadist
How is anyone keeping _an insomniac_ awake was the only question I was left with after that exchange.
As someone with PTSD, we don’t claim her. What a horrible person.
The devil himself doesn't claim this garbage
This is a dumb comment. Don’t claim her as in people with PTSD don’t do evil things?
That is grossly untrue..
@@staceymacfaceyYou clearly missed the point and are literally arguing over pointless semantics. Give it a rest and go start pointless internet drama elsewhere.
Lmao what?..
@@amirazeineddine9727if you’re talking in the biblical sense, the devil was never responsible for any of the evil…god was. Evil humans twist that as a get out of jail free to justify being monsters. 100% agreed. I can’t imagine the worst of us trying to justify her.
i don't know what the defense was thinking letting her testify. She comes off as a complete psychopath
A defendant has a constitutional right to testify. Who knows, maybe her counsel has a conscience and knew her testimony would seal her fate.
That's probably why to let the judge and jury see that for themselves.
If she wants to go on the stand she’s allowed to. Any attorney worth a grain of salt will tell you never to testify on your own behalf, but you always have that decision.
My sisters first son died during childbirth, she would of been the best mum in the world. This monster gets the privilege of being a mother and does this.
This life is not fair sometimes 😢
She isn’t a mother, She had a child. She wasn’t mothering in any way, shape or form.
@@laurajayne3701all kids deserve parents but not all parents deserve kids.
it’s awful that people have to lose the chance to have children when ppl like this treat a child a WHOLE LIFE like a game of whos better
Imagine all the panic attacks Timothy had as you tortured and starving to death
She deserves an academy award.. She knew exactly what her poor child looked like.
My thoughts exactly. You know she was sticking her finger down her throat as she hid behind the witness box. Disgusting waste of life.
Her acting was terrible. She deserves a golden Rasberry award for world's worst actress.
Right? She’s able to abuse for months without an issue, yet when she sees a photo of the abuse she herself caused, it causes her to vomit.
Exactly!!
@@louwinters508Agreed. Academy Awards are for good acting, not this BS.
May every single thing that was visited upon these children be returned to her and her husband 1000 fold
It wasn’t her husband, it was her son.
Her husband was taking care of him and he had a stroke and had to go to some kind of home then this evil demon took over.
I have PTSD-C and I have an autistic child. I went through an incredibly abusive relationship with my ex husband, and literally NEVER abused my child. She's 31 now, and understands everything that happened back then. There is NO excuse EVER to abuse your child. Shame on her!
Same. C PTSD and a blind child with hearing, development, growth disorders, feeding issues, adult diapers etc. I have NEVER. And would never. She's grossly abused and convinced her oldest that this is right to do as well. She probably abused him first and then shifted to Timothy, and she likely threatened him to receiving the same treatment if he didn't comply with her demands. It's obvious there's something wrong with Paul.
Literally same, autistic child, CPTSD from previous pos relationship. I've never ever abused my children, ever.
Same. PTSD, and an amazing boy diagnosed with ''severe autism''.. I didn't torture my kid to death...
I agree ❤
I have ptsd from an abusive relationship and an autistic child. My priority is to treat my child the opposite of how I was treated. I won’t hurt my child in any way including spanking which I consider physical abuse.
This woman is pure evil…how dare her to try to look all “Dorothy” innocent with those child like braids. She fools NO-ONE!!
No she's the wicked witch
Right like evil stepmother witch. If she's trying to pull off Dorothy, she can't do it with a face like that. No innocent, pretty, hairstyle can help that face
I know !!
Seems more like Barbara Hershey in Carrie
Look she's wearing pigtails. She has to be an innocent little girl
She saw him for weeks fading away physically for weeks & acts like she’s horrified seeing the photo of him!! 🤬👿
True tre 😔 she even looked at his scrawny body in a photo her son sent and she felt nothing ..so she saw the same scrawny type photo and now she's upset?
She really pretended to throw up so she dident have to look at those photos & look at what she had done. She's ridiculous. Disgrace to humanity!
Did she protending to be sick I don’t think it was real enough
How many children, disabled and elderly people live like this..
It really struck me that she said she normally had a black thumb with the tomatoe & cucumber plants but she had managed to keep the ones from her mother-in-law alive pretty well. She said she had been outside to check on those plants. What a sad statement that she clearly took better care of those plants than her own flesh and blood! That just breaks my heart!💔😢
She said "black" thumb?
That just showed how evil she really is. She took care of the plants but not her children!
@@TawnyC_ Yes, that’s what it said when I turned on captions.
@@gmaellen5530 How weird.
It's not even that she didn't take care of him... it's worse than that. She tortured him and clearly wanted him to suffer.
"Who else needs to escape, but a prisoner?" had her speechless, and him withdrawing the question says he knew exactly what he had exposed her as.
SHE KEPT TOMATO PLANTS ALIVE "PRETTY WELL" BUT NOT HER 15 YR OLD SON
@kaylaaustin, was this, were these kids biologically hers.
It didn't say other wise.
@@hank0455Yes these are her biological children.
How the judge is so calm. No eye rolling, no faces, but he knows she is putting in an oscar winning performance.
I have a 14-year-old autistic son and this case ENRAGES me. What a disgusting piece of garbage that B is.
Poor, poor Timothy…my heart breaks for this kid.
Why did you make him autistic?
same here, son has autism and is 14 in january, he is a big stocky lad and loves food, and yes he eats anything he gets his hands on, and when he finishes eating his own he might try taking other stuff that might not be finished or he might take something and yes if we were looking forward to a certain food to go back and finish we would be pissed off to find its now gone, but his logic is always that it would prob only go to waste ,, but never in a million yrs would there be any punishments, this is barbaric,, shes an evil witch,, not a tear in the world shed yet dressed to look like a little innocent school girl, she dont fool anybody, poor little Timothy, although paul could have saved him many times, he also shows signs he is on the spectrum himself, he might have feared that if he didnt obey his mother that Timothy might get worse punishments or paul himself would be also getting the same punishments,, but i still wish once the mother left the house that he would have grabbed his brother and run to the nearest police station,, but then again, the mother had cameras on them at all times and fear of her catching them first would have stopped him, its so often, shes ruined pauls life as well
@@emilycochrane78that sounds just like my son. I bet yours is such a sweetheart. 🥰 I wish the three of us lived locally, because I bet all 3 boys would have fun. 🫶🏻
Me too 👋
My son turned 15 a few months ago. I can't bear the thought of Timothy going through all that, and trying to process it and tolerate it, with no mercy from any of the people supposed to love him.
Knowing my son as well as I do, I can imagine how he would react to that kind of treatment, how afraid and lost he'd be and not knowing what to say or do to make it stop! I literally can't bear the thought that Timothy had nobody. Even if his siblings didn't wish him harm, he was still very alone and unprotected in that house!
@@user-pt1cz4ot1e awe they prob would have great fun. He’s a big cuddle bear but he can also have his moments lol and a good aul temper. But once it passes,that’s it. It’s blown over and no resentments or lingering anger. He gets on with things.
No remorse. No shame. No grief. No soul.
Well she is a Monster
her attorney Never objects to anything.
I am a nurse and I have worked with children with disabilities for 30 years and it breaks my heart because there are several facilities he could live in the community but they kept him home because she got a check for him every month for his disability
Sick.
She was fixated on constant mistreatment of that poor boy, looking for any excuse to punish him. So heartbreaking!
Sadistic 😔
Some people absolutely hate their child.
I love this prosecutor. Is all I have to say. This chick’s defense is thee worst one I’ve seen I think in a long time. I remember this, but not that. But while I can’t remember myself being an evil monster, I was able to pass the bar exam.
And feed the tomato plants and keep them alive!
AND that Timmothy weighed 104lbs!
They have no defense. She is basically agreeing to everything she did. Not even sure why she plead not guilty or took the stand. She should have just plead guilty because that's what she did on the stand today. 😂
Alsoooo, she blames everything on her other son. What a gem of a “mother”
@@sunshinegal4294that was a good one. “You made sure to feed your plants though.”
How can she vomit at the photos and be so calm answering the questions but not when she was actually doing the worst crimes to her son. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Timothy had no way out of this horrid situation- may his soul rest in peace
Why didn’t she get sick when she saw him suffering like that in person? What an actress.
Even her gagging sounded ingenuine, goodness.
It was staged. You can hear her lawyer say he placed one there when the prosecutor asked if someone could get her a trash can.
She definitely stuck her fingers down her throat! How could seeing her son like this make her vomit when in real life she knew what she had already done!
shes is using it as sypathy and to go along with her narative of her story i dont think its going to fly with the jury lets hope not anywa
Yeah she did!
Oh the irony. Shanda was a clerk for a judge in the very same courthouse where she is on trial. And she just passed the bar exam to be a lawyer.
Thank goodness she won’t practice
omg!!!
That's scary she passed
She is beyond evil, she had seen those photos a few days prior and didnt have any reaction..... i loved how the judge just watched her as she fake threw up at the end, and as soon as the jury walked out, he, in an almost upbeat tone, just goes "ok we are in recess" and just turned around and walked into his office, completely ignoring her, as she loudly continued to fake throw up lol.... happy to see he wasnt buying it either!!!
I seen a man in court accused of a crime. When they called his name he went up to see the judge and had a medical emergency during it. The Judge and DA just ignoring the man who was now on the ground turning blue. The judge asked for a recess and didn’t say a word.
I think you're referring to the guy who faked a heart attack? The judge was not having it!
@@mydogsiouxhow can you say the guy was faking if he was turning blue? what.
İ think she just is tensed because the world have seen what kind of a monster she is.
@kelseyspivey9644 right?! she wasn't even good at it. she was coughing! at least try to make a gagging noise! 😂
No sir, I don’t remember abusing, torturing or starving my child. What an evil thing she is
She managed to keep those plants alive...but she couldn't manage keeping her teenage son alive? 🤔 🤔 🤔
What an evil heartless monster. 😡
What a cunning woman. Dangerously deranged. The way her son Paul kept looking her way whilst on the stand was indicative of the devilish control she had over him. I hope he can recover & gets treated well. I’m sure she’ll get max = without parole.
He's as bad as her
She took good care of her plants but starved and abused her son
Horrible EVIL woman!
Poor child...🙏🙏
This is absolutely disgusting! She needs to be put under the jail!
Tired of people using PTSD or mental health as excuses.
We’ll be psycho is a mental impairment lol 🤪
Agreed... it's not an excuse... and I'm someone who's has loads of abuse growing up. I was tortured like that boy was. I got lucky she didn't use food as much to torture me... even though she did make me eat something so much it made me throw up.
Yes, this excuse is getting real old. As an adult you have to take accountability for your own actions. This lady is a horrible person and shouldn't be in charge of caring for any human or other living creatures. 👎
Have you ever considered maybe it’s not? Trauma is passed down from generation to generation it imprints on your dna. On top of that experiencing abuse especially at a young age changes your brain. I am not making any excuses for this woman, but the problem isn’t as black and white as you want to make it seem.
No one vomits like that unless they’re faking it.
Looked like she was sticking her fingers down her throat.
Or if they had a hard night drinking and nothing comes out
A 15-year-old should be able to retaliate against a parent. 😢
Using dissociation as an excuse for every awful moment, but having a fabulous memory for every little detail in life does a huge disservice to those who have dissociation due to trauma. Don't use mental health as your defense, because you're doing it out of deceit.
Yep I was thinking the same. This dissociative disorder would definitely present itself, on the stand with this stress. She would have trouble tracking the questions.
She's definitely off, but not in any way that mitigates her culpability for what she did.
Exactly and it's clear she wasn't dissociating 24/7 so there were clearly MANY time she was fully aware of what she was doing amd could have gotten help at so many different points.
The worst witness trying to save themselves I have ever seen. She was so flippant, with the most selective memory I have ever seen. Truly disgusting.
She should be forced to *eat* what she just wasted... .
That’s literally exactly what I thought!
@@mariyaa111 it would still be *MILES kinder* than anything she ever did to that poor, beautiful child.
