- In this profoundly moving episode, Emma Kenny examines the tragic case of Tia Sharp, a 12-year-old girl from South London whose life was tragically cut short in a disturbing act of violence. This case, which shook the UK to its core, highlights the devastating consequences of betrayal by those who are supposed to protect.
Emma delves into the dynamics of Tia's relationship with her grandmother's partner, Stuart Hazell, the man responsible for her murder. She explores the psychological aspects of this betrayal, unraveling the complexities of trust, manipulation, and the harrowing reality of child abuse that often goes unseen.
With a sensitive yet analytical approach, Emma discusses the investigation that led to Hazell's arrest, the impact of Tia's death on her family and community, and the wider societal implications regarding child safety and the importance of vigilance in safeguarding the vulnerable.
Join Emma Kenny for an in-depth exploration of the Tia Sharp case, as she seeks to understand the unspeakable, honor Tia's memory, and provide insights into preventing such tragedies from happening again.

I’m the same age as Tia. I remember when she went missing my mum wouldn’t let me out for a few days as she thought there was a child snatcher on the loose. I lived in south London. She saw the interview with Hazel when they were appealing for her to come home and she said to my dad “Gel he’s speaking in past tense!!! He’s fucking done it!” When they found her I was in Boots with my friend buying spray on semi hair dye and my mum called me to say they’d found her and that I needed to go home because she wanted to hug both me and my friend. I’ll never forget it! God bless you Tia❤
I live and grew up a few houses away from tias nan, Stuart was well known round here for being a wrongen
@@Isonnia94was he?? What did people say?
@@Isonnia94he absolutely looks like a TOTAL wrongun' doesn't he , you can see it so clearly 😢 Poor Tia , she never stood a chance with that bastard slithering like some kind of snake into the family 😢
I think the fact that he dated Tias mum before he starting dating tias nan was enough to say he was weird. Makes you think about it did he break up with Tias mum and then start dating Tias nan just to be closer to Tia.
@@zaynabdaniyal4316 Tia defo was the common denominator
The fact she was murdered by someone she adored in the place she saw as her sanctuary is heartbreaking i can't imagine the fear she must have felt when her "grandad" showed his intention 😢
😢😢😢
I could not agree more. utterly heartbreaking
He wasn't her biological grandad but he was supposed to be one of her protectors(really). It makes my blood run cold with fear for other children, as there must be hundreds if not thousands of kids out there just in UK who are being abused and feel like they don't have anywhere to go for help and protection. RIP beautiful Tia, you are in God's hands, you will know love, sanctuary, and protection xx 💔❤️
I saw this case on Another channel Heart Breaking
Her mother and grandmother both seem to be larger than life and brought this man into the house.
I think it's scarier when the perpetrator is someone who was trusted and has built a relationship with the victim, when it comes to stranger danger at least there's a chance of instinct kicking in. Tia didn't stand a chance with this monster.
It is usually the case
Where there is trust, there is a potential victim..
True that
Do we have to be weary of all stepdads ?
@@topgunner6999 I don't believe we have to be weary of all step dads/grandads. I believe there are some decent blokes out there and I know a couple of step dads who are doing a brilliant job.
No matter how many times I’ve watched videos about certain cases, I will ALWAYS watch Emma’s videos for new & fresh perspectives 🤩
Agreed, so much more information, she really knows her stuff
Same
Me too, she really gets into the criminology and psychological side of things, her research is A star stuff
36 year old man here no kids, but I just choked up when her uncle had the t shirt " please just come home your not in any trouble" 😥
He wasn't her Grandad. He was just Tia's granny's boyfriend and her Mum's ex-boyfriend.I think his target was Tia all along.
His excuse for how she died and what he did afterwards was astonishingly incredible. Had he genuinely loved her like his own Granddaughter, he would have been beside himself with grief, would probably have ran into the street screaming for help banging down neighbours doors. The man is as reprehensible as could be...
This is absolutely heartbreaking, Emma will give this little girl a platform to tell her story, and I pray that people think who they enter relationships with!
Totally agree....I think people these days are too quick to allow people into their lives.
In very wary about who I let into my life, I tend to keep people especiall men at arms length till I know I can fully trust them
I know people can change but him being convicted for assaulting someone with a machetes among other things would put me off having a relationship with them. He had been in Tia’s life since she was a baby and had looked after her before and been fine, so I can see why they thought nothing of letting her stay over with him alone.
I remember seeing her Daddy pleading for her to come home, and I burst into tears.
He should never be allowed out of Belmarsh. One strike is all for child killers, no second chances, EVER.
Wasn't just a killing. It was Sexually motivated planned murder.
The guy will never get out.
Grrr. Makes me so angry!
When hazell finally pops his clogs hopefully he will just be tossed into the ground and never to be heard of or spoken about never ever again and float on down to hell where he's gonna burn with satan himself for all eternity.
Belmarsh is too merciful for paedophiles.
EVER!!
When this case broke, and that monster was arrested and charged, I just thought how incredibly sad it all was. Tia loved Stuart, she trusted him, she thought of him as a loving grandad and he betrayed her in the most horrible way. When she had her birthday, she was given the choice of one friend to invite and she chose him. I hope that he spends the rest of his life in prison and gets regularly beaten in there.
And then some! I'll never understand how these monsters forget their head and heart when they get an erection - many thousands of girls and women, every year - for three minutes of their unGodly pleasure.
I remember this case like it was yesterday the lies, betrayal Hazell bestowed on this family is just heartbreaking. He completely betrayed the trust, Natalie, Christine & Tia had in him. He was totally fixated on Tia & I believe that he felt it was reciprocated too. He should NEVER EVER be released when you cross those precious lines with children you’re not fit to live in society in my opinion. Keep him whete he is it’s probably the safest place for him. I hope to god that he does bot get out in any circumstances at all. Tia should be living her life with her loving family and he took her away from them. RIP Tia 💔😡
Absolutely agree with you. I think 5 m8ns with some hardened pedo haters would solve his problem and ours failing that, I would have no problem sending him to hell
@@13alir I would gladly do time if anyone like him even misplaced a hair on my daughters head but yeah agree with you, apparently even to this day no one had managed to get their hands on him which makes my blood boil. The 👺👹 has a special place just for him with some sickening neighbors too 😡
I'm beyond creeped out that he dated Tia's mom and then went and shacked up with the grandmother!
The moment she mentioned diamond white I literally gagged as I was thrown back to being a very drunk 14yr old in a park and spending two days suffering as a result lmao, if you know, you know 🤣
It was merrydown for me! But yes know what you mean.
Stuart Hazell is in a league all of his own with regards to being evil and disgusting. Look forward to hearing Emmas thorough investigation into this case.
Already did!
I went to school with this POS. Couldn't believe when all this came out. I mean he was weird but never had an inkling he was evil 😢
No offence but you look way too young and glamorous to have been to school with this PoS.
@@angeljoyart he was only 39
Can’t wait for this one! Truly shocking and horrifying. Cannot believe how he thought he would get away with this!
Seriously his acting is as bad as the other sicko philpot
Because they think they are invincible plus low intelligence doesn’t help
@@beccamason3712 Would tia be 25 years old now?
Omg! "Britain's Darkest Taboos" was like THE most-bingeworthy show EVER....was my intro to Emma Kenny & you won me over, Miss Kenny!!!! What a RIVETING show....you & Kerry did a PHENOMENAL JOB on that show. XoXo
Id just like to say how much I admire your parenting style, the love you have for your children and family literally shines through you! I wish I could talk to you I could really use some advice, two teenage boys and a no shouting rule that works is bloody amazing❤️you really are someone I aspire to be but I find it really hard. Thankyou for the amazing shows, I never miss one🤘😁
My partner lived 2 minutes away round the corner to where Tia lived, it's absolutely harrowing and haunting how nobody knew 😔 the house is no longer there and has been bulldozed. My partners families were so affected they have also moved from New Addington and now live by the coast. RIP Tia Sharp 💕
My eldest daughter was one of the police cadets that was out on the streets walking the route that she would have taken if she had left the house. She came home devastated the day they found her.
Poor Tara, what an evil monster to hurt such an innocent defenseless girl, so horrific. I'm Australian but I went to school at Royal Russell School for a few years in Addington, lived in East Croydon, I know that area very well. Beautiful area but I can understand moving after being so close.
wow, so many people involved in this horrific story. I hope your loved ones have come to terms with this and it offers some light to others. so tragic 😥
One of the most haunting cases for me.. you really can't trust anyone 🥺 I know this case pretty well but I know you're going to come through with so much more info.
Im still stunned the police missed her one their first search! This guy is the stuff nightmares are made of the way he just bided his time like a snake then struck. Gives me shivers. Rip Tia
It took 4 searches to find her. 4.
@@Lightworkers. in that tiny house??? Thats a disgrace but when it comes to our so called police force nothing really surprises me. I haven't finished watching the whole thing yet because murders involving children really upset me.
@@Ruth78620 How old would Tia be now?
I don't get how the dogs didn't alert?
@@pinkpugginz she said they did alert but they thought there’s no way they could put the dog up there so they didn’t bother
Sadly I do remember this tragedy...it was Emma's input on Britains Darkest Taboos.
Really wish CI did another series though!
I’ve seen multiple shows on this case and, as usual, Emma has outdone them all.
You really give a complete perspective to this tale and give responsibility where it's due, to the failed searches by the police, the school and the gap with social services, and the compassion Tias family deserve
Really enjoyed the deep dive into this despicable murder, if enjoy is the right word to use, will be binge watching everything now. Glad I found this channel
oh no....this looks like another child murder. These cases break my heart 😔
Another innocent young life taken by a heartless monster. Just no words for this one.
omg my heart broke at this and a perfect example of not really knowing the person you think you know, poor family my heart broke for them xx
He was with the grandmother, mother and granddaugther. He had a disgusting fantasy from all the porn that he thought he'd live out and not get caught. Sickening.
That’s smart. I never thought about it that way before.
Looking at him makes me just sick. RIP Tia💗
Let us just imagine how beautiful it is that so many people watching your video are thinking of her in that moment and hopefully she feels safe and loved where she now is🙏
Love your content Emma you are so articulate and sympathetic about the victims of all the cases you cover and you give the victims the voice they no longer have, I come across a few years ago about the horrific case of baby Brianna Lopez in New mexico it's so heart breaking and sad and I know you would give this case justice 💜
Love the way that the video is not edited. Your respect and dignity for those involved is immeasurable. You always have information that I never knew about. Keep up the good work but also look after your own mental well-being x
Definitely similarities to the Tia Rigg case, even their names, chilling. Thanks Emma for always doing such a great job with these cases.
I knew it was Hazell as soon as I saw him on the news appeal. That poor, poor little girl. 😢
Thank you for covering this. My primary school is right next to where this happened and my family still live in the area. I’ll never forget where I was and how I felt when her body was found. I know you’ll do it justice Emma I always think about this poor little girl. X
This one was evil the worst part was he made her poor mum see in court photos of her after he had killed her in sexual positions
that is horrific!, her poor mum.
Her mother didn't give a fuck about her dirty cow takes her knickers off to a scum bag then ugly nana gets the big knickers off to him Sick
Thank you Emma! When I was 6 years old I was abused by my friend's grandfather. It's always been difficult to put into words or label because not only did he never lay a hand on me, but I don't believe he had any sexual interest in children at all. That said, he made me do things, and forced a neighborhood boy & I to do sexual things to each other, while he filmed and took photos.
To this day I believe his motive was strictly financial. He was a predator but not a pedophile. I imagine it would have been more difficult had I been physically abused by him. But, it had its effects. To this day, if an older man innocently asks if we've met, I wonder if he saw those images of me.
I also realized quickly that this man was afraid of me. Whenever adults were in the room I could feel it, and that made me associate sexuality with power & control. I was a promiscuous teen who pursued teachers, bosses, married men, straight women - anyone who would be putting themselves at risk to be with me. It was dominance. Absolutely no connection with love or intimacy for years.
I was a sex addict. It's not a joke. I was compelled to do things I didn’t want to do. I rejected any kind of commitment. If you didn’t have something to lose, I wasn't interested. If you did, I loved knowing I had power over you. Funnily, I never used it. I never chose to implode someone's life. I'm now grateful for that. But, I do feel guilt & to some degree wish the school boards & wives knew they had someone who gave into temptation.
I was with one man off & on for about 5 years, starting when I was 17 & he was 28. I'd known (& liked) that he was married, until one day she came in to the restaurant he worked at. It's ridiculous, but it was the first time I realized she was a real person.
I spent most of my 20s celibate, hiding from the world & doing a lot of self analysis & soul searching. It all stemmed from what happened when I was 6 & that feeling that I had power over this man, who happened to be big, scary & well acquainted with crime.
I even came into a healthy, loving relationship. 15 years in Dec, we've never had an argument last a full day, no fighting, no cheating, no break up/make up drama. I still have to be careful. I don't go out drinking, I don't put myself in situations to be alone with any man I feel even the slightest attraction to. It's not like they'd all line up for me but I'm not risking everything I've worked for.
When that man dies, due to his status on local crime, it made the news. I cried. I released emotions I didn’t know I had. A lot of anger & resentment. I felt relieved that he was gone even though I'd never been afraid of him.
I sometimes wonder how he justified it. Was it ok since he wasn't touching the kids? Did he think it had to be an adult to do long term damage? How much did he make off my innocence? My ability to trust & have healthy, loving sexual relationships?
Much worse has happened to children, but none of it should. In my case, the ONLY reason for my trauma was the desire of some guy to watch it. Some guy who might have justified it because he may not have been physically hurting children.
If you are a part of any step in the child porn industry, you are guilty. You are destroying the lives of children & changing who they were going to be. You deserve to rot on hell.
My experience was before the internet. It's gotten so much worse, so much more extensive & easily attainable. These people need to be put away for life. Those who actually physically touch children should have their genetalia removed before being locked away for life.
This is one of the saddest stories I have ever heard of.
Happened in my hometown I can’t explain the feeling in the community. I was at work checking hourly about the updates. They were stopping cars in and out of the estates and mine was stopped the day she was found. It was just tragic. I think about it very often poor innocent baby.
"You!How old? 11, younger than usual, GET UP THERE" lmao 🤣
I am so looking forward to this one,hearing Emma’s take. I know she will give Tia a voice and a life so we won’t just remember the fiend who murdered her. Such a sad story. I must admit though that it seemed strange that Hazell had been in a relationship with her mother,then moved in with her grandmother. I also found it strange regarding the house searches,3 I think,before they found this poor child. Definitely one to listen to from Emma.
This case frustrates me because it was so avoided . The mum and gran let this girl down.
How on earth would you allow this man around your family??
@@Silkysmooth-qk5nc agree. I remember this as the Olympics were on.. The Nan and Mum have to take some responsibility. Mum neglected Tia.. Stuart was with the mum. Then the Nan.. Was a druggie and been prison for many reasons and she felt Tia was safe?? The police failed Tia too. She was under Social Services also.. My heart breaks for Tia she never stood a chance
@@moodyb3105 wrong on all counts research first then comment on fact not other people's opinions
@@chrisbicknell5421 like lidl carpark
@@monroekoko8029 that was wrong as well if you can afford to get court transcripts u will hear for yourself and read all statements as they are different to what was said in court be my guest to reopen it
Notice a pattern? Most sexual abuse occurs within the family or a family friend. Stranger danger creates more fear. Yet your kids are more at risk at home.
What he did to Tia was degrading, humiliating and sexually warped. The vibrator discovery made me sick.
We all appreciate your amazingly detailed hard work Emma. Britain's Darkest Taboos is still one of the best crime series ever by the way.
Well done Emma. Love how you remind us these victims were people before they were tragically taken. How you tell us what they were like and what they loved to do.
Rest easy now Tia 🕊🕊🕊
He should never see the light of day ever again. What a despicable man.
FIRSTLY can we recognise Emma’s subs!!! Congratulations Emma and your gorgeous family. I am catching up these last 2.Now I love true crime channels BUT this one is by far the best because this is Emma’s field and wow that’s rare.Emma is a pro and the delivery is so clever and captivating you are literally on the journey with her.It’s always so satisfying because we get the whole picture (in 1 take) her empathy coupled with sharp wit engages her audience.I agree with Emma every time and these monsters have a preference for minors,I accept women who love women and men who love men BUT this is a man who loves children end of.Castration and isolation.Bravo Emma on another excellent case.So Emma fans let’s get her to 150K for June 2022.No one comes close to how fantastic this channel is and educating us on her journey.Sorry if I am love bombing you Emma and I hope you know your adorable 💗💙💙💙💙
This poor poor baby! Betrayed by a person who should’ve loved and protected her! Awful case!
There are hundreds of “carers” meant to raise children with love but they beat them to death,shake them to death, strangle etc , physically beat the hell out of them, like my cruel nasty evil sadistic mother. She didn’t protect me from familial sexual abuse.
Plain CRUEL & VERY Nasty. Parents should come with a health warning ⚠️ They should complete a serious course, and there should be a percent that fails. Cause at college,I did many courses and even though some women were horrendous, Geesuz the things I saw them do…, the college still passed them !
Emma,again thank you for being so respectful to the victims in your stories. You are such a lovely person. I imagine if Tia could speak from the grave,she would be so touched that you took so much time to investigate as thoroughly as you have,and how kindly you spoke of her character,and the way you wonder of her possible future if she hadn't been killed so cruelly.i can't imagine her shock when her grandad attacked her and she realised how serious he was in his intent.. Oh the poor girl... God,wrap her up in your arms and mind her,take care of her,and love her forever. Thank you Emma x
Britain’s darkest taboos was where I first seen you Emma been hooked since. Xxx
His FACE say's EVERYTHING to me, I would never ever let this guy in my and my kids life, that's for sure ! ☝😨😱
Stuart actually pushed the body into the next loft over, the neighbors house. One of my lectures on our forensics course was one of the DCI’s on this case. Said they found out bc there were a sheet of flies in the window over the neighbours
Wow, I thought I knew this story! This is so much more horrific than I even thought. My thoughts are of course with TIa and her family. But wow, how on earth do the jury get over seeing those images. Just horrendous.
I’m so glad you did this case Emma. I remember seeing Hazell being interviewed on TV protesting his innocence. I was at work and I pointed at the screen and said HE did it. His guilt was leaking out in his face and body language. I think the interviewer knew it too.
I think a lot of us did...x
I remember vividly turned to my mother and said she is in the attic he murdered her. I don’t know how I knew I just did. Sixth sense of a child I guess. My mother thought I was crazy until the truth came out.
This is so horrible. I cried when the note was read. RIP sweet Tia ❤
This is not the first time the police have searched a property and missed a body.. There was that case of a lady who was hidden behind the bath pannel.. I believe her body was found by her mother?
RIP TIA.. Things seriously need to change all over the world on so many fronts..
Thanks Emma for another insightful episode.. x
My gosh yeah!! You just brought back a flash of memory mentioning that! I don't remember the details of the case as it was a long time ago but I do remember how horric it was. That poor poor mother 😩
Hazel truly believed that his sick fantasies were reciprocated by Tia. When he made a move on her, trying to act it out, she reacted badly. That’s why he killed her because Tia would’ve told all.
Emma! I couldn't help but notice your youtube plaque in the background! CONGRATULATIONS on that!
I still take pics of my 7 yr old twins sleeping 😴 they're just so innocent and adorable 🥰
I look after children in care and it’s absolutely part of it to leave care with trauma, no matter the support you offer no matter how well ur team bond with and support the young person nothing replaces those familial bonds and that intrinsic support that the majority of us take for granted. I adore our kid, they’ve made amazing progress in their years with us and they will be leaving care soon with their GCSE’s, numerous courses and a level of education unusual in someone of their age. They’ve got an amazing life view despite their MH struggles and I have a strong belief that they’re going to be a success case for care but that doesn’t mean they all are and it’s rare you get to make the difference with most kids that we have made with ours. So much could and should be done to improve the care system
Could you cover the Brianna Lopez story please Emma, her families background and what their excuses were for the abuse of this beautiful baby who never made it to even 6 months old, TIA
the baby Brianna Lopez story is truly one of the worse ones up there with Peter Connelly aka baby P. I was deeply affected after I read about these horrific, despicable crimes upon these babies a few years ago and have never been able to wipe out of my mind what was done to these precious babies.. never knew the extent of such evil existing. I needed to take a break from all crime related videos for quite some time after.
rip Brianna and baby P🙏
For me it hits close to home when I look at her family. I never get how this could be a safe environment for a child when mother and stepfather are addicts and the grandmother has a relationship with a former lover of her daughter. I come from a family with addiction and I’m still struggling with the scars from this childhood.
Yeah, I can't help but feel that I was almost in this case too. Makes me feel cold. When I was about 14 or so my mum got drunk and ended up on a park bench where she met this bloke. While she was drunk. On a park bench. My mum has been an alcoholic my whole life and this was the worse thing she could have done. I count my lucky stars to this day that this man wasn't a creep, but my mum started to drink more and even though he wasn't there all the time I managed to stay with various relatives. I was studying for my GCSEs at the time and ended up failing them. This man ended up beating my mum and luckily he got sent away and we never saw him again thank god. About 15 years ago now but to this day I am so angry at my mum for being a complete idiot and ending up in that situation. It could have ended up so much worse. To this day she refuses to speak about and tries to forget it didn't happen but she's always been immature and irresponsible. Thank god I'm never giving her grandkids.
It really makes me think if he was with tia’s mum first and then they ended things and a few years later he got with her grandmother was he obsessed with tia from the beginning? And tried to get back into the family to get close to her. So disgusting he was a monster rip tia😞
I said this when the story broke. I was convinced that he wanted to be near her.
Stuart was 37 at the time!?! I thought he was in his 50s! Don't do drugs kids.
Hi Emma.. I'd like to request your insightful commentary on the Becky Watts case. It would be helpful in understanding another troubling and heartbreaking murder. Thank you
As someone who lives close by to his case I would also love Emma’s take
What's wrong with this woman? How can you out with a man who used to go out with her daughter? Desperate woman.
Yeah she's 50 percent responsible for TIA s death I think
I agree with 💯
How the bloody hell do the police miss Tia in 4 searches! What a disgrace! He is the most revolting deviant. Sitting with family, denying any part in her death! Hope he gets what he deserves in prison. That judge, ffs. Terrible judgement...
Such a sad story for a beautiful little girl. What a life for the innocent 😞
He wasn't her grandfather he was her grandmothers "boyfriend"
What a sweet little girl, it is so-so sad that she was abused.. & murdered by someone she loved & trusted.😒😔
I remember this so well. Poor little girl never forgotten 🙏🏼❤️
Not every self-harm and suicidal person is sad and unhappy. This matter is bit more complex.
You do not fail to keep me mesmerised Emma. Another intriguing take on a horrendous crime. You rock Emma 💜
Just wanna say I completely relate. I’m also a mum-creep and needed my sleeping photos of my babies, and all i feel is I have those cherished memories! Just too precious! 🥰😂 normal mamma behaviour that should never be associated with predators, agree with you completely!
Emma, I started to realize that before I found your channel I literally knew nothing of what I was going to watch and I got into your videos and it amazes me to see and hear these stories and I'm a survivor of a bad attack so I get really scared sometimes listening but you say and do the show so well I hope it goes on. Great job
I am so pleased that you covered this case. There are two cases that have always fascinated me, Stuart Hazel and Nathan Mathews. Both very intriguing and both actually have very little information out there about their pasts and what lead to their Crimes. And I've learned little snippets of details about the murders they committed but you just don't know if the information is reliable.
That's when you train an elite pug task force to search the small spaces.
There's something about Stuart Hazell that reminds me of Mick Philpott...
I think we can all agree that the way Christine and Stuart met was unconventional to say the least. But there is no question that this woman loved this child to bits... How horrible it must have been for her to lose Tia to a murder, the body be found in her own house where she smelled it not realising anything, be arrested on suspicion herself and to also lose trusted partner of almost 6 years finding out he was a pervert and a murderer... I mean it's hell of a price to pay for, what some of us would probably call, poor judgement... I'm in no way blaming her for Tia's death but when it comes to bringing adults into children's lives it's sooooo important to think twice... I remember Christine saying in the episode of britain's darkest taboos that she knew about his troubled life, that he drunk, smoked weed, been to prison but what he did before he met her had nothing to do with her. I agree with that to an extent... But then past behaviour is a good indicator of future behaviour and past like this should at least be a massive red flag to have this man in the house around a child within a week...
OMGosh! I can’t wait to hear what material you’ve dug up, Emma.
I was just thinking about this case & here it is.
Is it Wednesday already? Lol
Only Monday (sigh.)
I’ve been watching your videos since day 1. I have some catching up to do because I’m behind, but have you covered James Bulger?
Rest In Peace, Tia.
Emma you are my ultimate fave UA-camr! You have insight like no other channel I've yet found. I've been hooked on TC since I read " In Cold Blood " by Truman Capote my Freshman year in high school. I hesitate to use entertaining or any form of that word or description. Yet I would be hypocritical if I stated that is one of the reasons I listen to podcasts, documentaries, Audible books etc as I spent the majority of the last year recovering from a traumatic head injury, which lead to a stroke. Praise God my precious husband who has been my constant care giver 24/7 & 2 of 4 of our wonderful children are nurses 1 of them who moved back home and cares for me along side her , my husband and we 3 all listen/watch Emma Kenney the moment our alarm bell alerts us to your uploads.
Just looking at this man, how can any1 leave a young child alone with him, the fact he was with her mum and then moved on to the grandmother tells u all about that family.
I can't believe its going to be 10 years since Tia was murdered
Child porn should be illegal and anyone viewing it should be thrown inside and the key chucked away! If the porn in out there, surely it can be traced as to who is downloading it and how is watching it! This case is absolutely heart breaking and these evil pedo's need to punished severly!
It is illegal
Oh god, I vaguely know the details of this and I know it's one of those crimes where when it's one victim (especially a child) I find it really difficult to watch. Why am I much more comfortable with a mad axeman lopping people's limbs and heads off - and I'll even drift off into a pleasant snooze sometimes and have to go back and rewatch! These cases are difficult and I'm rambling because I'm putting off watching it! Right, here goes...
I always say “everyone’s child is everyone’s responsibility”
I believe that YOU Lady Kenny should be put into charge of a larger legislation type platform. Common sense, hard work, and logical social needs seriously Need more of reality and truths. You provide so much voice for victims, you've my trusted nomination!! Thank you Always Mimi
Amazing coverage. Tia was my sister in law’s cousin. It was a bad time for them and devastating
Being a grandparent is a wonderful thing. Its a chance to be a slighltly different parent all over again. You've got the love for and of your children, and then you have a new person to love and adore. You get to see yet another little human learn and grow, and they surprise and delight you. I love every moment of it. I so much wish Tia had never suffered or died. She was so precious. She deserved everything in the world.
I’ve been ADDICTED to true crime for donkeys years and just want to say your content is always the very best out there! You must work so hard getting all the information you need for your deep dive approach. Just wanted to say thanks really 🖤
❤❤❤❤
I always thought the same Emma, how they searched that small house all those times and missed the fact that she was there all of the time is just ridiculous! Poor poor child.
Great video again Emma! 👏👏👏
Another amazing video Em!!! Such a sad case and you did it so much justice as always.
I laughed and cried so hard with this one! Your sarcasm is wonderful - I have exactly the same sense of humour, I’m sure like lots of us in KCC!!!
Your tirade about teenagers and their mobile phones was hilarious - and totally spot on!!! ‘Symbiotically attached to their bodies’ - I’m still laughing at it 2 days later!😂 I’ll never forget the first (and actually only time so far) that I have taken my son’s phone from him for being cheeky. He’s 15 now, but was 14 at the time and you’d have thought I’d tried to remove his actual arm! I asked him to hand it over and told him he’d get it back in 2 hours. Now, he’s an exceptionally bright boy, but looked at me with total genuine confusion and shock - like he couldn’t even fathom that I would do this to him!!! Needless to say, it worked a treat and I’ve never had to do it since! Lol!
I just discovered this channel yesterday. I love the in-depth analysis and the empathy with the victims. Will be recommending the channel to others and cannot wait to watch it all!
Thats very kind of you .Em xxx
Brill this is perfect example of why this series is better than docus on TV great work especially the stuff on his past essential info that gets often missed.
I see that silver plaque behind you and am screaming like a 15 year old! You go Em!!
Hell no he should NEVER be let out period!!
Whilst this is heartbreaking, you are an absolute trooper for doing this on 2 hours' sleep! I would be a grumpy, incoherent, babbling mess. Big thanks from the KCC!
This appalling crime happened not far from where I live. It's heart breaking to know that she was murdered by someone she looked up to and trusted.
Trouble is, most children are murdered by someone they know… including their family and parents. The minute you say you trust someone 100% … is the moment you let your guard down. I trust 99.99% the other .01% keeps me on guard. A lesson I learned at a young age, thanks to a trusted ‘uncle’. Rip Tia 🦋
It's Emma time!!
I was a bit behind, so watched 2 today.
Em, the first time I saw you was on BDT. Since then I've idolized you. You will forever be my hero.
I remember this one, and I remember the mother crying.
It makes me sick
Thank you for acknowledging that sex workers can be good mothers and wives too. I've been a sex worker in Australia (it's legal here) for nearly 10 years. my 13 yr old son is very well taken care of. I pick him up and drop him off at school every day, and still make more money than most parents in our area. It's so hurtful when we're considered less than human just because of our work choices. My husband also loves what I do for work. I love that you're so open minded. Most people aren't.
No-one has the right to make you feel less than, ever. Xx
I love your channel.
It makes me so happy that I know exactly when a video is coming out…. I’m autistic and love predictable things… so Mondays and Thursdays… (I’m in Australia) make me very happy!
I do get a tiny bit stressed about the scream at the end…. Every time I know it’s coming… and I still nearly die each time 😂😂😂
I try and been near it at the end so I can turn it down…. But sometimes I just get too into the story and forget!
I love listening to you Emma!
Such a beautiful safe place….
I love that you don’t make it weird to connect, love and protect our most vulnerable… kids are the most precious gift…
They are not ours… we are just lucky enough to know them…
I think giving kids roots and wings is really important…
I want them to know that they can explore the world and come home to a safe place…. No matter what….
I tell them all the time that if they ever need… they should bring the garbage bags and tape…. I’ll bring the pigs…..
it’s a joke (in case anyone think I’m serious….)
Kids are such a beautiful gift…
We don’t need to parent with fear.
Me too, always forget it's coming, the scream 😱
Fellow neuro diverse person x

Shocking. Thanks em, stay safe everyone.
