@@beepbopboop7727 I cant say that's not true. But its also not the part I focused on. I know in that situation, my mom would have killed him first. I probably would have too. But not everyone thinks the same.
@@beepbopboop7727 You have to understand that she felt fear in that situation, if she had stopped him at that point in time this psychopath would have probably killed her children and her. As the children said she built up enough courage to escape with them, which is a big decision as when you do that if you don’t have any support your more than likely to be targeted and attacked as she was, which is why she is dead.
12:11 baby girl please don’t carry that guilt of saying you love your dad in that moment. Your mom knows you loved her and what you were trying to do! Please PLEASE let that go. She sounded like a wonderful caring mom who would have done anything for you guys. Remember what HER final words were... “not in front of the kids” All she wanted was you guys safe and happy.
I’m sorry, but the “grandmother” helped this occur. She let her son hide from the police and refused them entry to her part of the house. She needs to be held accountable.
@@trilabradorable if you read comments on this thread by the kids in this video, you'll see she was behind the whole thing too and did her grandchildren very wrong.
@A A If that is indeed true then it’s no wonder her son turned out the way he did. What a heartless thing to do after her own grandchildren were robbed of a loving mother.
@Mel B if a woman flees with her children, she is seen as “kidnapping” her kids and a court will often temporarily give the other spouse custody, before she can even testify. It’s awful, they should be allowed to present proof of abuse before custody is decided.
What about “grandma?” They should’ve charged his mother with being an accessory to homicide and obstruction of justice for not allowing police in her “apartment knowing all along his plan. The police were on the other side of the door. I would rather die myself than help my son do something so absolutely horrid.
True. She was aware of what her son was planning to do to his ex-wife but did she not think of her grandkids who live there and would get involved? What if he had gone crazy and killed the three kids?
I couldn't agree more, I thinking the same thing, its these wicked mothers who enable their children to do evil to others, she knew he was a monster, wicked woman, this story is heartbreaking, I'm glad the children survived, sorry for what they had to endure at the hands of their evil sperm donor , may God be with them, wishing them peace & happiness in their individual lives
I don’t think the police had a search warrant, so legally they could not search her apartment. Legally she did nothing wrong but morally she’s disgusting.
@@godforgive_me9798 Even so your is just as good as ours. Assumptions. Going off of what the kids saw and heard may not be everything but even so he murdered someone and that’s not going to be justified in this case.
If my child told her dad "stop, I love you" while he is physical harming me, I would be so proud of her and so comforted in that moment. She absolutely knew the daughter was trying to calm the dad down! I'm sure that momma was so very proud of her daughter for trying to love this man back into reality. It was the ultimate act of love, trying to face down danger for her momma. Probably meant more to her mom than the actual words. Every mom knows their child loves them!

Don't regret baby girl trying to save your mom by telling your Dad you love him. She knew what you were doing and didn't doubt your love. She will always be with you.
That man wasn’t capable of loving anything. His own self hate ruined the lives of 4 innocent people that he should have protected and loved. Instead he destroyed them

How would you know that she wasn't abused and forced to not reveal him? He managed to abuse his wife and kids for years before they managed to escape, without knowledge on how it went down, you can't really judge her, there was probably no way for her to know that he was going to kill his ex wife in front of the kids.

@@macsleaze8183 as humans we create our own definitions of words. The term dad is made up like any other term. He is no father and doesn’t deserve the title
Why in the world did they grant custody of the two youngest children to the dad, after abuse and sexual assault was reported? That’s the reason she even took the kids and went back to that house that night! The system truly failed the mother and children in this case. Such a tragedy!
My guess: the father won custody by default. The father filed for custody in Connecticut and since the mother was not available for the case, the mother lost custody.
I fled my ex abuser with my 2 young children. Scott reminds me exactly of my ex. We fled on an airplane when he left for work. I left everything material behind to escape for our lives. This was 3 years ago that we left. I'm terrified everyday that he is going to find me and kill me. I know he wants me dead. I can relate to this woman's story. I pray God protects me and my children
She still protected her kids even when she was literally in the grasp of death. "Not in front of the kids" .. her precious soul is resting in peace in the arms of God..may you all be wrapped in His arms of comfort.
@@HelloKitty-pe4ho I’m sure she thought he would hurt them worse if she fought him on it. That’s what abusers do. They try to convince you that you have no choice, and nearly killing you is a very effective way of doing that. And was he bluffing?
@@TRIX-wn2sl You’re comment is ignorant. You need to be in an abusive relationship like this one to understand her choices. I lived through that type of situation with my mother & sisters. I known what it was like for my mother. I don’t judge her. She did her best with what she could despite her situation. Endangering the life of her girls & her own when she decided to run away from my dad takes a lot of strength. If this lady’s daughter who lived through it doesn’t judge her & I don’t judge my mother, what give you the right?
"The laws need to change"?? She went back to the home where he lived knowing she had a restraining order against him and after he killed her, he killed himself so what difference does it make what law is changed??
They not gonna tell u wat she did if she had cheated if he found text messages wit her n a guy they not gonna tell u anything she did..they paint the picture of him as a monster she could of had anything goin on and just didn’t tell her children. Lik the girl who’s 18-21 Laying n the bed wit tht man..they not gonna tell u she was probably messing wit him...wen she left him she left the lights on doors wide open while he was n the shower ain’t no telling wat she stole..then take his kids leave the state make police reports on him..then try to come bac thinkin u takin the house to? She knew she who she was dealing wit not one kid but too kids n she married him I’m tired of y’all actin lik y’all no everything wen ya no so little...no physical abuse? Just verbal? So thts just a old fashion dad tryna run an old fashion household to me probably got it from his dad..she knew who she was wit she had a daughter already n all the experience she needed to avoid things like tht...he’s not a monster he was heart broken and emotionally eel. Cuz if he was such a monster none of them kids would be here to tell a story and ya would of left earth with her n him...ya brain washed his daughter thts sad...my point is ya stop getting married just to do it u fools
That grandmother definitely was part of the problem. I hope they charged her as an accomplice because she's to blame just as much as her son for this smh. Bless you 3 and your mom is watching from heaven knowing that your safe now guys. 🫂
@@gloriaf6971Except the kids have ready explained that she purposely hid him and wasn't in danger. In fact she sued the kids for money after and still thought he was a good person.
They tried to go to a shelter during that time they wouldn't let them stay at the shelter because they had a boy and a girl. Abuse rewires the brain she was scared of what he would do to her because they would beat them or kill them if they didn't do what he wanted. She probably had nowhere else to go and wood end up on the street I'm not making an excuse for her but she was terrified of this person damn what he could do to the children
@@amberwalters9613 The mom didn’t give him custody, the court did when the dad filed for custody after she left. I think that’s what the commenter was saying: “why would the courts do that” given the allegations of sexual abuse and history of physical abuse.
That grandmother knew her son’s intentions, so her hiding him should be legally pursued; didn’t the woman who was murdered have a restraining order, so couldn’t the Grandmother be held for assisting him violating that order. Also, those kids have grown to be so well rounded individuals and I’m positive that their mother would be proud of them!
I hope that the murderer’s grandmother will be punished that is beyond bad that she must be held accountable by death for avoiding his “son” to be in prison or death penalty.
I thought the same thing. She (Scott's mom) had to know what he planned. Then I wondered what would make a mother hide her son like that knowing planned on killing his wife and that her own grandchildren would most likely be witness to their mom being killed by their father? The only thing I came up with is perhaps he had threatened her (his mom) too. Maybe he told her that he'd kill her too if she allowed the police to search her basement apartment. I'm to the point now where I hope that she was in fear of her own life as sad as that may sound because it means that she at least was in fear of her own life and not just a horrible human hiding her son knowing he was about to kill his wife in front of her children.
@@beautifulsurprise9424 i understand wanting to believe in the best of people but I find the circumstance that he threatened her unlikely. She was alone upstairs when the police came thus she had plenty of time by herself to inform the police of the threat on her life and get to safety. She could have been gone before the police breached the basement rendering the threat minimal
The vile coward really had the sheer gall to kill himself afterwards too instead of facing the consequences for his crimes, I hope he’s burning in hell
Not sure why that would bother you, I'm much more bothered by his abuse and murder of his wife. Killing himself is good, saves tax dollars, and there's no guarantee that the kids facing him in court would help them psychologically
I can tell she's going through it...the dark hair and dark ensemble. That's exactly how I started dressing when my parents were abusing me. Darkness felt like a safe home where my sadness was normal.
@@HospitalForSouls.X I'm not "going through anything" my hair is dark brown and burgundy and I was wearing a black Michael Kors shirt with jeans. What were talking about happened 14 years ago.
Damn. When that girl said that she regretted saying "I love you Dad" instead of telling her mom that she loved her. Made me so sad. I just want to give her a hug. I hope she knows that her mom loves her unconditionally and knows what she was trying to do. I hope she can not feel guilty about that someday. I can only imagine.
@@d.m.mullings7549 they all loved him or at least tried to, i mean who doesn’t want to have a father figure in their life they wanted to believe that he was a good person or they tried to make him one
Yes Imagine The last words you say In front of your mom before your dad is about to kill her is "No stop, Dad I love you" I just want to give her a hug as well
Yes, no mom would ever blame her for that. There is no reason to feel bad. She was a good kid who told her dad she loved him. He was a lousy dad and husband.
I myself said this sentence a hundred times in my life. I was a child but I never had a childhood since I was abused by my mother and forced to become an adult and mature before age while I was still technically a child as per age. Then unfortunately that followed by an abusive husband later on..
As for the girl saying "I wish I had said that to my mom". Moms know. We know that our kids love us, it literally never needs to be said. We do EVERYTHING we do for our kids, EVERYTHING. Because we love them in a way no one will ever understand.
Reading this gave me some peace. My mom died 2 years ago in a car accident overnight and I think about all of the regret I have not saying more to her when I had the chance to
This is killing me because my mom and her five kids (including me) had to escape from my physically abusive dad in the middle of the night. Luckily (unlike this poor family) my mom had money so we packed up the car while he was at work and drove a week through Canada until we got to Las Vegas. That was 11 years ago and I haven’t seen him since. This reminds me of how bad it could’ve gotten. I’m so sorry this happened to this family.
I had a similar experience too as kid. But he was my step father not my biological father. He threatened to come home and kill us all when he got home from his hunting trip, my mom had been planning to leave for months but was scared and at the time she was rekindling with my step father (we just call him dad) who was in our lives 10 years prior but life separated them(they were both active duty military.) but he helped my mom pack the whole house into the car and his truck and we left that night and never looked back. He never raised his voice at us, he never yells, he really stepped up when mine and my brothers dad died unexpectedly. He walked me down the isle and always answers when I call! Sorry you guys had to go through that but I’m so glad you guys made it out safe and all alive🤍
Why wasn’t grandma charged? Accessory to murder. She let her son into her apartment and didn’t let the police search it, she should also be held responsible.
Ikn about in america but in Scotland she'd have been charged with obstruction of justice but isn't there a thing in america called accessory after the fact?
@@starrchild254 Accessory after the fact would be helping cover up a crime, while not be involved directly in it (eg. hiding a body, cleaning up a crime scene), why she wasn't charged with obstruction, I'm not sure. The only thing I can think is that you have the right to refuse officials in your residence if they don't have a warrant and that is probably the sticking point.
@@jd-no7rw again Idk about america but in Scotland if you refuse entry to police due to lack of a search warrant then two police officers will wait on the doorstep till another officer arrives with a search warrant
@@starrchild254 Unless they can show probable cause, meaning, they could prove she had the father in the apartment, and he was intending harm, then they don't have reason. He wasn't a wanted man at that time, so she had the right to refuse. I doubt a judge would issue a warrant because someone said no to entry into a private residence even if they suspected that someone was there.
@2freeIvX she didn’t know he was going to murder her? He threatened to kill her! More than once! Parents like to think the best for their kids, maybe in her mind she wasn’t thinking about it but in the back of her mind, there’s just no way she couldn’t have known.
The children all appear to be so incredibly well adjusted and not messed up considering what they’ve been through. The credit goes to their mother for this.
@@KimberleeMelissa they were all victims to that monster. Yes, what the mom did was terrible but she probably was sexual abused as a child and was a victim her whole life. It’s all just sad, but glad the kids could help pass laws to help future victims.
This is one thing children should never have to witness. It's absolutely horrible to lose a parent but would be extremely terrifying when the other parent caused it. Life is precious, but short... never take anything for granted. Rip 🕊️
Honey. Your mom knew you was trying to help her by saying " I love you dad". She knew. She also knows that you love her. Hope y'all get some kind of peace in life. Y'all deserve it after everything y'all went through. Prayers for you guys. RIP to the momma. She was trying to protect her children to the very end.
As soon as I heard the court gave him custody of 2 kids and she had to go back to Connecticut to fight for them, I knew the court had just as much blame for her death. Especially after one of the kids had already filed the complaints of sexual abuse. What a way to completely let down a family.
I went to the police, got protection orders, provided the court with recordings where he threatened to kill me. The judge ruled we should share custody and he has to pick up our baby from my house. He justified it by saying he showed interest by buying stuff for our baby, even though he didn't visit or show any interest for the first 7 months and only showed interest after I sued him for custody. Justice truly is blind.
@@stephaniepardo5242 Thank you for your support. He still threatens me, tries to make me meet him, verbally abuses me and now he started creating stories about me, saying I am a promiscuous alcoholic druggie. I just hired a lawyer to sue him for harassment, but I don't think it will change anything. Whatever he says or threatens me with, no matter how many times he hits me, I will never be scared or be intimidated by him, I am very resilient and I am surrounded by a loving family and great friends. I'm just scared for my daughter since HE is the father.
Sooo many people failed them! -The judge who gave the kids to Scott knowing the allegations of sexual and mental abuse -THe shelters who couldnt help them -the police who did not search the appartment and did nothing to protect them knowing they did not search the whole house -The grandma who helped her son. The death of this woman could have been prevented in alot of ways. May she rest in peace and prayers to her children.
@@jindav1 Based on what they were describing it was probably a situation of do as I say or literrly suffer. Abuse changes the way people think. She probably felt that keeping him happy was the only way to keep her and her kids from getting beaten to death. It doesn't mean it was right, but in those moments she was probably barely able to make the right decisions even for herself. There's a reason why coercion with physical threat has its own book of laws around it.
@@0Sarenity0 that makes sense when I was a child and my mother was with my father he was very abusive he about murdered my mom a few times my mom was so broke down from The abuse the she couldn't even remember her address when we was little because she was so traumatized and abused mentally and physically and emotionally for so long
I’m so proud of you three kids for speaking out, even though it’s so painful. You have taken a horrible event and turned it into something positive that will save lives. God bless you❤
My dad did this to. Right front of me. I'll never forget being five years old trying to save her. You can't do much for a shot in the heart though. Rest in peace mama. I hope you're proud.
My aunt was killed by her boyfriend in front of her three kids as well. He shot her six times. This story is so similar that’s it’s scary. I never got to met her but her loss has left my family so sad
How selfish and disgusting. So because of the fact he couldn't 'control' his wife he kills her In Front of her kids then runs away and kills himself....What a coward. So sad and terrible for the mom and kids.
I mean not to be a devil’s advocate but narcissism and borderline personality disorder is a mental illness. Nothing at all was okay with what he did but its still how his mind works if that makes sense. Again not saying its okay at all. He probably would have killed his wife, mother, employees , friends, or whoever he wanted to control but couldn’t and tbh he probably would have killed his kids if it weren’t for the little ones saying “stop i love you”.
The grandma should be charged with helping him, mom had a restraining order and grandma helped him break it, I feel so horrible for this mother. I can’t believe the court would allow him to have custody after knowing of the abuse and sexual assault. The court failed this family, so sick of our society letting these things happened, with little to no punishment.
The court failed because we have a broken justice system. I hear so many times on these types of stories where the justice system could have helped these families before it is too late, but they didn't like always. I also always hear of police being notified of a person who needs to be checked and then nothing happens soon enough.
@Kelly Fanello what a horrific comment. What broken part of you was like...I better make a rude comment about someone's appearance after they poured their heart out about their fathers SA and their mothers death. I hope you heal from whatever that is. You're the one projecting ugliness here.
His mother lived in an apartment downstairs. She must have known her son was abusing his family yet she protected him from the police. Hoping the children heal and have amazing adult lives.
@@Elegant_Sausage No the grandmother is responsible for his abusive behaviour because of how she raised him it was confirmed by the dude in this video. She is not the victim because she is a woman and should be held accoutable if she is still alive.
@@Heatwave9000 she was definitely protecting him. I think she should be held accountable for protecting an abusive man. Divorce never seems to be the answer anymore. It has to result in something more. Some people think that murder is the only way out. I hope he likes living in a 4 by 6 cell.
“I wish we had been smart enough to never go back” you were smart enough, the courts should have never given custody to an abuser. If they had been concerned with your safety this tragedy could have been prevented. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT, IT’S THEIRS! In tears watching this and haven’t even finished but that broke my heart so much to hear you say that, please don’t think you weren’t smart, please don’t ever blame yourself for people not caring about abused families. My family was abused too and no one cared about them either and tragedy resulted. You were never at fault and you never will be. I’m so sorry they chose not to care. Rest In Peace to your beautiful mother! Praying for your family!
The moment the Grandmother refused to allow entry into her unit (which is still apart of the property)... the police should have remained on site to ensure the family's safety.
Exactly anyone with half a brain would've known if she had nothing to hide she'd have let them in. She should have been charged with 2nd degree murder never mind accessory or obstruction
Unfortunately I highly doubt the police had enough officers to keep someone there all night. My mom recently went through a divorce with my violent father and I absolutely won’t be letting him in the house to get his stuff without a police escort. I made her stay somewhere else during the divorce hearing and I never wanted her to be alone with him after they had filed for divorce but she kept letting him in, kept letting him stay with her, kept going out and meeting him in private willingly. Can’t believe he didn’t do worse than he did as many times as she let him in.
Don't forget the the police has the authority enter by any means necessary, but they chose not too knowing full well the grand mother was hiding the father inside.
@@MissPotential. Uhhh, dunno about that. That’d be unreasonable search and seizure, I believe. Sounds like her residence, though within the house, was considered an “apartment” and as such was considered the mother’s residence, not the family’s. I may be wrong about this, as I’m certainly no legal expert, but it sounds like that was probably the case.
Man. I am SO impressed with these 3 young adults, in so many ways. So intelligent, so selfless in their efforts to get laws passed, and so supportive of one another. Wow.
Wait, I thought he didn't. I though she got custody and then only returned to clean the house and live their again after being assured he wasn't there. There were just three kids right? She had custody of all of them the whole time.
I've just watched the "Evil Lives Here" episode and wanted to reach out and say how brave you all were in such an impossible situation. It's truly saddening how you were let down by the authorities and safe spaces that weren't available to you when you left. I only realised at the end I share the same name as your Mum and knowing you created a law about coersive control is beyond words. I was in a similar relationship but just me, no children. Thank you all for sharing your lives and brave souls 💕💖
I read the independent investigative report on Jennifer’s murder. IE should have devoted several more minutes to Mary Lou Magnano, the grandmother who hid Scott.

The system failed this woman terribly. She never should’ve had to go back after escaping from Connecticut. Glad they were able to get this new law passed. However, other states need to get on board with it too.
The state made her come back because Scott was given custody of the 2 younger children. The judge that did this should be fired. Also, the Grandma should be in prison for helping her son kill his wife.

I live in Australia and my mother was killed by my father in 2008. He got away with it and his family helped him. Somehow they claimed that it was suicide by 3 stab wounds to the chest. Make it make sense 🤬

He tricked and trapped her. Such a sad shame. This will never go away for the kids. This animal ruined many lives. Therapy will help to deal with this situation but it will never go away.
I left my abuser that same year in the same state and let me tell you it doesn’t change. Get out while you can. Nobody should live in violence. Everyone deserves to be free and happy and safe . This case is truly heartbreaking.
I saw so much of my father in this guy. I have a memory of my father throwing his dinner across the room in rage because she made chicken that had bones in it. It was always something with him. We walked on eggshells. But for some reason when she left him he didn’t turn into a psycho stalker or anything which I would’ve expected. Leaving him was the best thing she ever did for ALL of us.

Scott took the cowards way out. The grandmother should have known better. The children deserves justice.

What is the point of police again? They were called to SEARCH THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! Of all the times police should’ve been brutal, they should’ve push the old hag over and search the “apartment”!

Was the Grandmother charged with Aiding in Jennifer's murder? If the police were allowed the search Scotts Mothers' basement apartment, this whole terrible tragedy could have been avoided
When it comes to your kid. You’re going to protect your kid and sadly she wanted to be a friend and not a parent and beat his head in but also the wife was getting beat by him before that so she knew who he was and capable of and could’ve left. Then it wouldn’t matter if the grandma was helping him because she wouldn’t have even been around. It wouldn’t even be a chance to have that situation.
@@Addwater4444 she doesnt feel bad. to this day she claims her son was a good boy who did nothing wrong and that she doesnt understand why the rest of the family stopped speaking to her. she plays the part of poor old lady abandoned by her family. more often than not she instigated the violence by angering him, knowing full well that he'd come upstairs and hit our mother
The ptsd these poor kids have.. I know they’re older than me but oh my god. I can’t even imagine, the flashbacks and the vivid memories of abuse and how their mom tried so hard to keep things okay.
My daughter's first husband was violent. She divorced him when her children were 5 and 3. Sometime after that I bumped into his mother who told me "she should have done as she was told, she had too much to say for herself" She then absolutely blew me away with "his father has hit me all our married life and it hasn't done me any harm!" I told her that by saying that it proved how much harm he had done. The lad had no chance of being a good husband when he was brought up thinking that hitting his wife was normal!.
Wow is all I can say. If I had a son and I even heard him raise his voice I would be all in his mix! I would not be okay with it and I would be encouraging my daughter-in-law to leave and I would help her leave!
Scott is a coward hiding and shooting himself after he shot a innocent woman. Their grandma helped him hide she should be charged or at least blamed for this.
My mom was abused in every form for 23 years from her husband, my dad. He then started in on my sister and myself. When I was growing up we heard from agencies that all you needed to do was come forward. Yet nothing happened when we did. My mom tried to leave several times with and without us. The police were not helping at all. Not enough laws to protect the innocent.
why do ppl make more kids with abusive men? I mean she was suffering for 23 years and had 2 kids.. To let him also abuse you? Just why? And police is not helping, at least here in Russia, but women take their kids and disappear one night fleeding to another country, for example. Police won`t help and they know it, we even don`t have the restraining orders here.
His mother should have been charged for facilitation. She can’t say she didn’t know what was going on all those years living downstairs or that he wasn’t supposed to be there! Nothing good was going to come of that!
Agree also with charging mother of perp if, IF she wasn't threatened to keep quiet, didn't have a gun pointed at her, etc. Would hope the officers didn't miss voice or other cues that could have revealed son's presence. Question: Do you think she also had been a recipient of his cruelty and understood the outcome of a "betrayal" of son?
@@godforgive_me9798 stop skipping school especially English classes. Someone kills and you still say he wasn't a monster? Two wrongs don't and will never make a right.

You also said people should stop marrying people like him, don't people change?

Seeing Emily break down like that recalling her mother being murdered by her father and trying her best to stop it, in her child-like way, what she thought was best to calm the dad by telling him she loved him and regretting it 😭
It’s quite a common child trauma response and the mother would have known she was trying to protect her. I know this because I’ve been in a similar situation etc.

@@beepbopboop7727 I cant say that's not true. But its also not the part I focused on. I know in that situation, my mom would have killed him first. I probably would have too. But not everyone thinks the same.
@@beepbopboop7727 You have to understand that she felt fear in that situation, if she had stopped him at that point in time this psychopath would have probably killed her children and her.

@A A oo the nerve of some people
A real demon
@A A just ..wtf!!!
@A A If that is indeed true then it’s no wonder her son turned out the way he did. What a heartless thing to do after her own grandchildren were robbed of a loving mother.
Was the grandmother ever brought up on any charges for hiding him out? I feel for these kids so much.
the system failed this woman. worst of all, it failed her kids.
And it happens way too often too.
He got custody??!! 🤬
The system fails many.... I speak from experience. The system is deeply flawed.
So true
@Mel B if a woman flees with her children, she is seen as “kidnapping” her kids and a court will often temporarily give the other spouse custody, before she can even testify. It’s awful, they should be allowed to present proof of abuse before custody is decided.
What about “grandma?” They should’ve charged his mother with being an accessory to homicide and obstruction of justice for not allowing police in her “apartment knowing all along his plan. The police were on the other side of the door. I would rather die myself than help my son do something so absolutely horrid.
Exactly my thought. What a horrible old lady to cover for her violent, abusive son, and enable the murder to occur.
True. She was aware of what her son was planning to do to his ex-wife but did she not think of her grandkids who live there and would get involved? What if he had gone crazy and killed the three kids?
I couldn't agree more, I thinking the same thing, its these wicked mothers who enable their children to do evil to others, she knew he was a monster, wicked woman, this story is heartbreaking, I'm glad the children survived, sorry for what they had to endure at the hands of their evil sperm donor , may God be with them, wishing them peace & happiness in their individual lives
I agree . The cops were literally there that day asking to check the basement.
Damn
Why wasn’t Scott’s mother charged for interfering with the police enforcing a restraining order?
Ikr
In scotland she'd have been charged with obstructing justice
I don’t think the police had a search warrant, so legally they could not search her apartment. Legally she did nothing wrong but morally she’s disgusting.
@@godforgive_me9798 Even so your is just as good as ours. Assumptions. Going off of what the kids saw and heard may not be everything but even so he murdered someone and that’s not going to be justified in this case.
@@godforgive_me9798 That still doesn’t justify murder.
If my child told her dad "stop, I love you" while he is physical harming me, I would be so proud of her and so comforted in that moment. She absolutely knew the daughter was trying to calm the dad down! I'm sure that momma was so very proud of her daughter for trying to love this man back into reality. It was the ultimate act of love, trying to face down danger for her momma. Probably meant more to her mom than the actual words. Every mom knows their child loves them! I hope this girl can understand that one day.

He never deserved such a great wife and kids
So many people failed this family, the shelters, the law, extended family.. It makes me so sad
So true. It should have been a safe haven in place for the family. He should have not know her whereabouts.

How would you know that she wasn't abused and forced to not reveal him?

@@macsleaze8183 as humans we create our own definitions of words. The term dad is made up like any other term. He is no father and doesn’t deserve the title
Why in the world did they grant custody of the two youngest children to the dad, after abuse and sexual assault was reported?
That’s the reason she even took the kids and went back to that house that night!
The system truly failed the mother and children in this case.
Such a tragedy!
Because the system in this country is run by evil and wicked judges that protect the criminals and punish the victims.
but was she forced to go back??
My guess: the father won custody by default. The father filed for custody in Connecticut and since the mother was not available for the case, the mother lost custody.
The system fails them every single damn day.
A total failure of the system, knowing this man's abusive history!! Had they not given him custody of the 2 kids, she could've survived! Terribly sad!
I fled my ex abuser with my 2 young children. Scott reminds me exactly of my ex. We fled on an airplane when he left for work. I left everything material behind to escape for our lives. This was 3 years ago that we left. I'm terrified everyday that he is going to find me and kill me. I know he wants me dead. I can relate to this woman's story. I pray God protects me and my children

@@HelloKitty-pe4ho I’m sure she thought he would hurt them worse if she fought him on it. That’s what abusers do. They try to convince you that you have no choice, and nearly killing you is a very effective way of doing that. And was he bluffing?

Endangering the life of her girls & her own when she decided to run away from my dad takes a lot of strength.

Jason what the duck is there to lol about? This isn’t funny.

They tried to go to a shelter during that time they wouldn't let them stay at the shelter because they had a boy and a girl.

That grandmother knew her son’s intentions, so her hiding him should be legally pursued; didn’t the woman who was murdered have a restraining order, so couldn’t the Grandmother be held for assisting him violating that order. Also, those kids have grown to be so well rounded individuals and I’m positive that their mother would be proud of them!
I hope that the murderer’s grandmother will be punished that is beyond bad that she must be held accountable by death for avoiding his “son” to be in prison or death penalty.
I thought the same thing. She (Scott's mom) had to know what he planned. Then I wondered what would make a mother hide her son like that knowing planned on killing his wife and that her own grandchildren would most likely be witness to their mom being killed by their father? The only thing I came up with is perhaps he had threatened her (his mom) too. Maybe he told her that he'd kill her too if she allowed the police to search her basement apartment. I'm to the point now where I hope that she was in fear of her own life as sad as that may sound because it means that she at least was in fear of her own life and not just a horrible human hiding her son knowing he was about to kill his wife in front of her children.
@@beautifulsurprise9424 i understand wanting to believe in the best of people but I find the circumstance that he threatened her unlikely. She was alone upstairs when the police came thus she had plenty of time by herself to inform the police of the threat on her life and get to safety. She could have been gone before the police breached the basement rendering the threat minimal
Scott probably threatened to kill her if she didn't hide him
It won’t be legally pursued because she’s white
The vile coward really had the sheer gall to kill himself afterwards too instead of facing the consequences for his crimes, I hope he’s burning in hell
Not sure why that would bother you, I'm much more bothered by his abuse and murder of his wife. Killing himself is good, saves tax dollars, and there's no guarantee that the kids facing him in court would help them psychologically
Can we talk about how strong the oldest sister is?! Trying to keep a positive spirit around her younger siblings.

Why wasn’t grandma charged? Accessory to murder. She let her son into her apartment and didn’t let the police search it, she should also be held responsible.
Ikn about in america but in Scotland she'd have been charged with obstruction of justice but isn't there a thing in america called accessory after the fact?
@@starrchild254 Accessory after the fact would be helping cover up a crime, while not be involved directly in it (eg. hiding a body, cleaning up a crime scene), why she wasn't charged with obstruction, I'm not sure. The only thing I can think is that you have the right to refuse officials in your residence if they don't have a warrant and that is probably the sticking point.
@@jd-no7rw again Idk about america but in Scotland if you refuse entry to police due to lack of a search warrant then two police officers will wait on the doorstep till another officer arrives with a search warrant
@@starrchild254 Unless they can show probable cause, meaning, they could prove she had the father in the apartment, and he was intending harm, then they don't have reason.

As soon as I heard the court gave him custody of 2 kids and she had to go back to Connecticut to fight for them, I knew the court had just as much blame for her death. Especially after one of the kids had already filed the complaints of sexual abuse. What a way to completely let down a family.
I went to the police, got protection orders, provided the court with recordings where he threatened to kill me. The judge ruled we should share custody and he has to pick up our baby from my house. He justified it by saying he showed interest by buying stuff for our baby, even though he didn't visit or show any interest for the first 7 months and only showed interest after I sued him for custody. Justice truly is blind.
This is terrible. Im sorry
@@stephaniepardo5242 Thank you for your support. He still threatens me, tries to make me meet him, verbally abuses me and now he started creating stories about me, saying I am a promiscuous alcoholic druggie. I just hired a lawyer to sue him for harassment, but I don't think it will change anything. Whatever he says or threatens me with, no matter how many times he hits me, I will never be scared or be intimidated by him, I am very resilient and I am surrounded by a loving family and great friends. I'm just scared for my daughter since HE is the father.
Seriously 😒
The judge killed her.
Sooo many people failed them!
-The judge who gave the kids to Scott knowing the allegations of sexual and mental abuse
-THe shelters who couldnt help them
-the police who did not search the appartment and did nothing to protect them knowing they did not search the whole house
-The grandma who helped her son.
The death of this woman could have been prevented in alot of ways. May she rest in peace and prayers to her children.
She also aided in her daughter being sexually abused
This only goes to show that a woman in that situation is alone and she is the only one that can protect herself.
@@jindav1 Based on what they were describing it was probably a situation of do as I say or literrly suffer. Abuse changes the way people think. She probably felt that keeping him happy was the only way to keep her and her kids from getting beaten to death. It doesn't mean it was right, but in those moments she was probably barely able to make the right decisions even for herself. There's a reason why coercion with physical threat has its own book of laws around it.
@@0Sarenity0 that makes sense when I was a child and my mother was with my father he was very abusive he about murdered my mom a few times my mom was so broke down from The abuse the she couldn't even remember her address when we was little because she was so traumatized and abused mentally and physically and emotionally for so long

My dad did this to. Right front of me. I'll never forget being five years old trying to save her. You can't do much for a shot in the heart though. Rest in peace mama. I hope you're proud.
i’m so sorry this happened to you. may your mother rest in peace ❤️.
Im so sorry
May you be comforted ❤️
Im so sorry for your loss 😢
sorry, but she can`t be proud, cause she died. that`s why it`s so important not to have many kids from the abuser and run away ASAP
My aunt was killed by her boyfriend in front of her three kids as well. He shot her six times. This story is so similar that’s it’s scary. I never got to met her but her loss has left my family so sad
My heart goes out to you and your family.

Also OP, I am extremely sorry for what happened to your aunt and I leave my condolences to you and your family, especially her children.
Im srry about that:( prayer to her and her kids
I am so sorry for your and your family’s loss.
How selfish and disgusting. So because of the fact he couldn't 'control' his wife he kills her In Front of her kids then runs away and kills himself....What a coward. So sad and terrible for the mom and kids.
Basically he was a control freak...
I mean not to be a devil’s advocate but narcissism and borderline personality disorder is a mental illness. Nothing at all was okay with what he did but its still how his mind works if that makes sense. Again not saying its okay at all. He probably would have killed his wife, mother, employees , friends, or whoever he wanted to control but couldn’t and tbh he probably would have killed his kids if it weren’t for the little ones saying “stop i love you”.
@@angybear1112 true but narcissism isn't a mental illness it's the way you act which could be influenced by many different factors
You would face the guilt dam id kill myself
The court signed her death certificate the moment they gave him custody of her children. What a sad story.
He’s incapable of loving anyone but himself.. Narcissist the ultimate personification of evil..
Amen!
Yes!! He displayed narcissistic rage.
Sociopath for sure
Absolutely.
Ticking bombs!
The grandma should be charged with helping him, mom had a restraining order and grandma helped him break it, I feel so horrible for this mother. I can’t believe the court would allow him to have custody after knowing of the abuse and sexual assault. The court failed this family, so sick of our society letting these things happened, with little to no punishment.
The court failed because we have a broken justice system. I hear so many times on these types of stories where the justice system could have helped these families before it is too late, but they didn't like always. I also always hear of police being notified of a person who needs to be checked and then nothing happens soon enough.
@@sterling8298 well the grandmother failed them also by hiding her son after he had just killed someone instead of protecting the kids from him.

She should have been thrown in jail for hiding him.
Maybe he was abusing his mother as well....
He probably abused her too!! I still think SOME punishment is warranted for hiding him though
@@Elegant_Sausage No the grandmother is responsible for his abusive behaviour because of how she raised him it was confirmed by the dude in this video. She is not the victim because she is a woman and should be held accoutable if she is still alive.
@@Heatwave9000 she was definitely protecting him. I think she should be held accountable for protecting an abusive man. Divorce never seems to be the answer anymore. It has to result in something more. Some people think that murder is the only way out. I hope he likes living in a 4 by 6 cell.
“I wish we had been smart enough to never go back” you were smart enough, the courts should have never given custody to an abuser. If they had been concerned with your safety this tragedy could have been prevented. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT, IT’S THEIRS! In tears watching this and haven’t even finished but that broke my heart so much to hear you say that, please don’t think you weren’t smart, please don’t ever blame yourself for people not caring about abused families.

The moment the Grandmother refused to allow entry into her unit (which is still apart of the property)... the police should have remained on site to ensure the family's safety.
Edit: gee thanks for the likes
Exactly anyone with half a brain would've known if she had nothing to hide she'd have let them in. She should have been charged with 2nd degree murder never mind accessory or obstruction
Unfortunately I highly doubt the police had enough officers to keep someone there all night. My mom recently went through a divorce with my violent father and I absolutely won’t be letting him in the house to get his stuff without a police escort. I made her stay somewhere else during the divorce hearing and I never wanted her to be alone with him after they had filed for divorce but she kept letting him in, kept letting him stay with her, kept going out and meeting him in private willingly. Can’t believe he didn’t do worse than he did as many times as she let him in.
Don't forget the the police has the authority enter by any means necessary, but they chose not too knowing full well the grand mother was hiding the father inside.
@@MissPotential. Uhhh, dunno about that. That’d be unreasonable search and seizure, I believe. Sounds like her residence, though within the house, was considered an “apartment” and as such was considered the mother’s residence, not the family’s. I may be wrong about this, as I’m certainly no legal expert, but it sounds like that was probably the case.

I read the independent investigative report on Jennifer’s murder. IE should have devoted several more minutes to Mary Lou Magnano, the grandmother who hid Scott.

My daughter's first husband was violent. She divorced him when her children were 5 and 3. Sometime after that I bumped into his mother who told me "she should have done as she was told, she had too much to say for herself" She then absolutely blew me away with "his father has hit me all our married life and it hasn't done me any harm!"

Seeing Emily break down like that recalling her mother being murdered by her father and trying her best to stop it, in her child-like way, what she thought was best to calm the dad by telling him she loved him and regretting it 😭
It’s quite a common child trauma response and the mother would have known she was trying to protect her.
I know this because I’ve been in a similar situation etc.
