I'm a UK nurse. We were watching the verdict on shift the other day. It beggars belief. As a nurse it made me so damn angry. As a mother it broke my heart. .. It's abhorrent. I'm glad she got a full life sentence. Murdering babies and leaving people worried their child isn't safe in hospitals. That should NEVER be a parents worry when their child is sick. My son was in hospital last year. And I fully trusted he wonderful paeds nurses looking after him. That she could tarnish that trust for others is awful. She deserves to live out a long long life with nothing look forward to and hope for.
The Trust failed those babies and also you medical professionals. To be associated with such a monster by profess is a discredit to people who take oaths to save lives
i can not even imagine. thank you for your work. i'm US ems. what you do saves lives and no one should have to hear these cases, because they shouldnt happen. its a crime against humanity.
Those poor parents that have memory boxes, knowing that the murderer of their baby put it together. You would be desperate to keep anything connected to that baby but knowing she put it together??!! I can’t wrap my head around how torn they must feel. Heartbreaking 😢
I make those memory boxes as a NICU nurse. I'm proper sickened by imagining her taking some sort of joy in creating the NEED for the box. It's such a privilege to be trusted with these little babes, she abused that trust.
I had the exact same thought as you. Those hand and foot prints are the most precious and cherished things those parents have left of their little ones, but they were given to them by their killer. That is a kind of mental torture no one on earth should ever have to experience, let alone those poor innocent parents. My heart breaks for them.
There's an article in The Independent today that changes the law because of her! She refused to attend her sentencing (i.e. face her victims) and there was a HUGE public outcry, so now defendants MUST attend their sentencing and face their victims. LOVE your channel so much!
I didn't even know it was a choice!? I've NEVER heard of someone just saying "nah, im not goin to sentencing" like what!? 😂😂 where is this story at again? Shoot I wish I coulda skipped my own sentencing. Mine was just drugs tho so not like I had victims but my dad and mom and grandma were there to watch me get sentenced to 3 years in prison at freaking 19 years old so that was a horrible moment. I really wish I woulda known you could say, mmm no thanks.
As they should! Not going is just one more way for them to assert control over their victims. It’s to bad LL can’t be retroactively punished for refusing to attend.
I gasped at the identical triplets. Lucy didn't just take those babies from their parents, she took them from their remaining sibling. That poor child.
As the mother of a micro-preemie, this case is so hard for me to listen to and comprehend. My daughter was born 15 weeks early, weighed 1.5 lbs, and spent her first 90 days of life in the NICU. Since then, I have literally idolized NICU nurses and for one of them to intentionally commit such evil, vile, and atrocious acts is just beyond anything I can put in to words. Our NICU nurses where absolute angels…they were my life line when I couldn’t be with her 24 hours a day. They were patient and understanding and I never had a doubt that they would do everything in their power to keep my daughter safe and ensure that she would eventually come home with us. They tolerated my relentless calls to check in when I wasn’t there and my constant questions when I was there. We actually became very close to some of our nurses and I trusted their advice even above the doctors who were usually only there for an hour a day at most. Those nurses truly loved my daughter by the time we left as well as all of the other babies in their care. They were extremely protective of them to the point of even intentionally keeping babies longer than necessary if they felt the home environment wasn’t going to be great. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to even imagine one of them intentionally harming a baby. My heart breaks for the parents and families who fell victim to this evil woman. My daughter is now 21 years old and in her senior year of college. She’s perfectly healthy thanks to her wonderful NICU nurses who loved her and cared for her during her first crucial months of life. We’re still in touch with many of them, exchanging Christmas cards and occasional letters and one of them even drove for hours to attend her high school graduation. Lucy Letby is an evil heartless monster who doesn’t deserve the title of NICU nurse. Eta: Are there no cameras in this hospital/NICU?
THANK YOU!!! That's what I keep thinking. Every NICU I've ever seen is like a fort. Security, emergency lock doors and cameras at least at the nurses station
Thank you for asking about the cameras. When I heard the date of this story, I couldn’t help but wonder why, if nothing else, they didn’t have cameras or security in the NICU. I know she was an employee so maybe security was lessened for her, but the fact no cameras were mentioned makes me think there wasn’t that much security in the first place…
I had a micro premie as well at 26wks and had great nurses who showed so much love n compassion.she is 31 yrs old now n a mum herself.what this monster has done is so pathetic.those parents I so much feel for them.loss of their child to find out the nurse did this it makes me sick.
Charges need to be brought against management. They knew lives were at stake. They knew something was going on. Thank you for covering this case, Danielle. It was so full of detail and your usual compassion ♥️
100% agree that Management should also be accountable for not acting much sooner.. This is probably one of your best crime cases yet Danielle and truly heartbreaking as well
You’re damn right! This is so horrific and heartbreaking I can’t believe this. How could you harm a baby!? These babies fit in their hands I just - I can’t believe this.
Look at all that upper management who all "retired" with golden parachutes to a different country where they totally had no idea what was going on. The CEO had the audacity to say "it's the doctor's fault"
Danielle, I want to tell you that I am so very touched by the way you tell this horrific story. I held my first born infant in my arms as he passed away. (He was born with a terminal birth defect - we were blessed to be able to say goodbye.) I bring this up because seeing you become so emotional when you tell about the parents in this story who held their babies and said their own agonizing goodbyes touches me deeply. It has been years since I lost my son, but I found comfort for my own grief through the empathy and compassion you share toward the victims here as you tell this story. Thank you so much for your compassion, empathy, and for the care with which you recount these awful events. It means so very much to me, and I feel sure that I am not the only viewer who feels this way.
I’m expecting my first child this month too and was thinking the exact same thing! This monster should’ve never chosen this job. She could’ve go work at an abortion clinic instead of at a place where worrying parents are praying for the best chance and care for their newborns. Such innocent, sweet and tiny vulnerable babies. How evil
I was way too restless in hospital and scared that anything could happen to him I had little to no sleep at all two nurses I spoke to were horrible unlike the rest. My mum explained that as a newborn I was meant to have been looked after while she tried getting rest to fight off the pain when they gave her pain relief but they didn't do their job because they pushed me into a dark black room no one in sight and they were laughing and watching tv down the hall hospital wouldn't let my dad in back then due to hours I think? I was found in urine,soaked up tears on my face, feces and throw up everywhere in my hospital bed. I tried to let the nurses attempt to look after him once desparate for sleep but then I wondered if the same fate would happen to him because I remember all too well when I was staring at the ceiling in that dark room.. it was scary and so I decided to buzz back the nurse using my hospital bed button to be fair I gave it like 20-30 minutes and I told her I think I'm ready to try and sleep with my son beside me again and thanked her for being so kind and sweet.
I'm 8 months and this is hard to listen to. I can say I always worried about stuff like this so since my first baby @17 I have never send any of my 6 to the nursery or let them go anywhere I can't go.
Yes scary when I gave birth they put monitors on the babies and I said I don't need that on my baby but staff said no it's mandatory because of baby kidnapping you wouldn't think you would have to look out for the staff being the biggest threat
The negligence of this hospital is truly despicable, she should have been linked to the first 2 babies end of story. No other babies needed to die or suffer lifelong complications.
This 💯 I never understood how they let it get this far? I saw where one of her coworkers actually suspected her in the beginning and he went to the higher ups and he was made to apologize to her for thinking she had anything to do with it!!! 🥺
Yea it's ridiculous that she got away with it for so long. A coworker of mine joked that if a particularly difficult patient passed he wouldn't care. Low and behold the patient passed the next shift and he was told to stay home while they investigated.
Unforgiveable. Even trying to protect her. They should be on trial too. Total negligence. Deriliction of duty. How many could have been saved. Those poor parents need answers.
I really don't get how people who don't use any common sense or logic work at senior management positions. I think they should be in prison too. At least 3-4 deaths are on them because they were either covering up or negligent. They knew who was responsible from the first months of deaths happening.
As an ex NICU nurse, current PICU nurse, this BREAKS my heart! I work with very sick babies who are helpless and dealing with their parents emotions and trying so hard to do all i could to push these babies through their illness, i will never understand how she could do this, she's evil, vile, selfish and INSANE!
Paeds nurse here have helped out occasionally in nicu but mainly just feeding the weller babies that just need fattening up for home. Couldn’t work in nicu full time there so scarily tiny and vulnerable. I just can’t believe how awful this case is and how many red flags there were. The thought of leaving your patient with another nurse only to come back and they’ve done something to that baby just beyond words. I think I’d have to leave the profession if that had happened to me so traumatic
As a nurse myself, the management need to be also held accountable. It’s crazy how much things they ignore, in the hospitals I’ve worked too. Not necessarily to do with deaths but they don’t care about patients safety or wellbeing of staff. We are always overworked & understaffed.
It took me 2 months to finally click on this video. Thank you for handling it so well and making it tolerable to listen to. I cried multiple times and still have a lump in my throat.
Did this hospital not have cameras in the rooms? And maybe set up a “buddy system” so that way no single nurse is alone with a baby. How awful. My heart breaks for those sweet babies. Their lil bodies went through so much. It’s all unimaginable. The hospital also needs to be held accountable.
That what I was internally screaming when I watched a different video on the case. They could’ve saved so many babies if they set up cameras and caught her in the act.
Sadly cameras won't happen, the privacy, dignity of patients will take precedence over what is while absolutely horrible, is very rare in the world. Instead, the hospitals need to take patient and colleague concerns seriously. Automatic tests/post mortems should also happen when a serious incident, unexplained event or death occurs. Even patients that have had serious incidents should be dealt with a different nurse, different team or transferred to a different hospital. Even the buddy system you've suggested, while it may help abit, again there isn't the staff to do it and if someone really wanted to do this, they'd have the time to. Letby and Allit both did their actions when people went for breaks, were away from the cots. Even just simple things like nurses being able to be at the cotside instead of managing countless patients per nurse, and not having other tasks that take them away from the bedside/cotside would minimise the chance of this happening.
Also, Managers also need to be accountable and should have medical knowledge. Business Managers/top brass of the NHS currently don't need any medical qualifications. They can simply do business degrees or have that background and be running a hospital. Changing policies that doctors have to follow. It's literally like that top guy in your workplace that hasn't got a clue, comes up with what they think is a great idea and people on the ground know its not a good idea but, cannot get through to the top people kind of scenerio. And I think you'd agree, we cannot have these kind of people running our hospitals. It has to be someone that's done medicine, nursing or some kind of medical specialty.
Just saw the sentencing. She was an absolutely horrific monster and she got the most severe sentence as she should. Thank you for covering it. It's tough when it involves kids.
@@Liz-ch8jeWhere's the hard evidence to prove she's guilty ? No one saw her do anything there is no camera evidence only circumstantial evidence. The notes found under her bed were taken out of context she felt guilty for not being able to save them and blamed herself she never admitted killing them in her notes. Her family who know her better than anyone think she's innocent and so do many of her friends and colleagues. The babies died from natural deaths or failures in the hospital Lucy has been used as a scapegoat.
I’m a L&D nurse and a Nicu nurse. This makes me absolutely makes me sick. Nurses bust their ass to keep these babies alive and do our best to make sure that they go home with their parents. I won’t say what I would like to do to Lucy. My heart breaks for the parents of the angel babies. Hell is not hot enough for Lucy
Thank you for the amazing work you do- so many families mine included deeply appreciate people like you. My lil brother nurses was a angel and helped my brother so many
Danielle, just know that we all appreciate the stress and hardships you put yourself through researching these cases. At certain points in the video, i can hear in your voice that you are holding back tears and how much you care for the victims. i’ve been a long time follower and love your approach to these cases. Sending love from Florida. 🤍
As the mother of a micro preemie, born at 23wks and only weighed 1lb 5oz, who did a 109 day stint in the NICU this case is terrifying. The amount of trust you implicitly put in the staff at places like that will always give me pause. Those poor babies and their families 😢. My heart is utterly broken for them.
I can also relate to this as mine was a 24 wk premie and was in the NICU for 145 days and really struggled at times, also the closest NICU was 300 miles from where I live. It’s terrifying to think that people you have to trust completely with your fragile baby could do these kinds of things.
Knowing that Lucy created the memory box for baby A breaks my heart. The parents will never be able to look at their lost baby’s hand prints without thinking about the killer handling their lost little one
And she knew that would be the case. She definitely knew that if she were to ever be caught, all of those parents would think of her, what she's done to their babies and cause them even more grief each and every time they'd look at their babies' hand and footprints.
That was her job, to do the memory box. A lot of the things she did, were her job. Standing over a cot and observing a baby waiting for an issue to self-correct, or making a clinical observation before calling for a doctor is also part of a nurse's job.
that mother seeing her baby crying in pain with blood coming out of their mouth sounds like something out of a horror movie, i cant even imagine how traumatic that is. rip to all of these babies 💗
I can't imagine. I have 5 children. My last one was born early and in and out of NICU....I am heart wrenched. The pain on that poor baby. I wish there were REAL punishment for criminals like this...prison is nothing but a free life card. Now we all get to pay to care for this woman....it's sick. Medal should be shoved down her throat. I literally hate this woman toy core and wish I could get my hands on her...I hope the woman in prison gets there hands on her
I almost had to skip through that one, but told myself that baby & the parents had to physically go through that, so the least I could do was listen. But, it was rough. The mental picture was exactly as you said. Out of a HORROR MOVIE. There's no words to describe this type of evil!
I find it baffling and scary how often she was seen hovering over a dying child and it still took them a long time to think it might be her... And even when it was spotted it was dismissed.
It's odd she was not doing things to help...ie sitting at a desk. Not her cats fault though...maybe they got lucky and rehomed...its odd she was a Christian. Jesus raised from dead...but didn't kill em first...
I think it's just because you don't expect someone you're working with to be doing something like that. Like I'm sure the healthcare professionals themselves were working really hard to help all of their patients and are used to seeing everyone else around them doing the same, so it is a jump to go from that to actively suspecting that an individual has heinous attempts
I've read a bit about this case. Her colleagues thought she had something to do with it. When a baby would have issues they would make an inside joke among eachother asking if Lucy was working on that shift. However, from what i understood, it was the hospital administration that forced the staff to not push this issue (probably saying they would fire who kept pushing the topic). Hospitals very rarely admit guilt because this (by their mindset) would allow all of the parents who we're affected by her, to take the hospital to court and ask for money or give them bad PR. I'm also a firm believer the hospital didn't want to hide a killer. I'd say they were convinced she was maybe just making mistakes, maybe gross negligence or professional malpractice and that's why they ended up putting her in a desk.
lucy was alleged to have killed the babies!!!!! there was no real evidence she was the killer!! juries can be wrong! ask the sub post office workers & andrew malkinson!! lucy was in shock in court!
The hospital needs to be sued , there was one common denominator of that same nurse , she should’ve of been investigated .how can they not investigate multiple deaths that were happening back to back ?
Right?! I don’t get this at all. How they couldn’t add 1+1= Lucy letby?!! 😕 if it walks like a duck quacks like a duck it’s not a freaking dog… it’s obvious who it was even after the first two or three they should have been able to put it together and I wonder if they did but they just tried to sweep it under the rug or ignore it?
This whole case baffles me! I'm just a little ole CNA in a nursing home but even a tiny skin tear has to be reported to the state. I don't understand how this many DEATHS were basically swept under the rug..
I can't imagine how it must feel to be her parents when you're proud of her for being successful and accomplished only to later find out she's one of the worst people ever
I too, felt sympathy for her parents - as a mother myself, I feel it's natural to do so. However, this was fleeting & disappeared after watching footage of LL's background & her (imo unhealthy) relationship with her parents. I feel their relationship shows enmeshment where the boundaries are blurred or absent. The parents' refusal to see their daughter's guilt & how they have maintained she has been unfairly judged is typical as was her mother's reaction when LL was arrested when she demanded the police "Take me, I did it!"... I have yet to find a video that discusses her childhood & the relationship she with her parents in any great depth but believe there's enough evidence to show that LL was always doted on by her mum & dad, who shielded her from ever taking responsibility for her actions, all through growing up & into her adulthood. As soon as the case began to unfold, my first thought was that LL had Munchausen's by Proxy (or Factitious Disorder of another as it's now labeled) & have no doubt she is guilty!! I feel her actions & reactions make her psychopathy & narcissism clearly visible, with her reactions towards her victims' parents & complete lack of emotion demonstrating nothing but self-interest with an outstanding lack of accountability, guilt & remorse.
Can you even imagine being those parents even til today AND not only you lost your baby, but they were murdered! AND their murderer put together all that you have left of the baby!! The memories!! The box!!! The hair!! The pics!!! They were all put together by her. She touched every bit of it!! Good lord!
As a NICU mom three times over, this case was difficult to listen to. The biggest red flag 🚩🚩 was that she returned to work after experiencing patient deaths or near deaths. Our youngest (born at 24 weeks, extremely sick and had intubation injuries) nearly died during his NICU stay. His nurse during that shift loved him very much. She absolutely broke down after they resuscitated and intubated our baby. She left telling the nurse manager and us that she would be off the next day. It was awful for everyone that worked on him. Lucy is a terrible horrible monster of a person. Too many people ignored very concerning coincidences. Ugh this makes my stomach absolutely sick.
Death is part of the healthcare field, not everyone breaks down weak because they lose a patient. It’s sad, but we all deal with things like this differently.
Okay I’m sooo confused, I’m a med tech at a senior care facility. When residents pass away NOBODY I’ve ever worked with has ever taken time off because of it, I know that bereavement is a thing but I just thought it was for more extreme situations or something? Maybe it’s different in senior care? Which would be really interesting. But I’ve never thought it was weird to come to work after experiencing residents/ patients pass, honestly the other way around.. very strange
I’d say the hospital DOES bear quite a bit of responsibility for the passing of all of those babies. Lucy was evil, yes. But after x amount of incidents related to IV’s nobody at the hospital stopped to think that maybe they need a new IV brand in addition to extra IV setup training in-house. SOMETHING After all that didn’t work, it seems someone would start eyeballing the nurses. But not a single effort was made!
Absolutely. Lucy committed these crimes but the senior management need to be help accountable for their failure to act! We need a public inquiry. We need answers.
Many people did report Lucy but hospital admin refused to investigate. Those who reported her were punished. They even made doctors apologize to Lucy for "bullying" her.
Not surprising at all, from my experience (ex nhs nurse) when people are accused of bullying/ other issues they are only moved to another ward 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
As a NICU mom, this case makes me absolutely sick. It’s exactly why I never left my daughters bedside, stayed in the hospital with her for all 143 nights. Our nurses were overall wonderful but there were mistakes, cannot fathom anyone intentionally harming such tiny babes. She deserves to rot in jail.
Yesssss, mistakes happen. NG tubes going into the lung and aspirating was a common one I would see during our NICU stay. Super scary and would set the baby back. Or giving a baby another moms breast milk by mistake. One nurse pricked herself with a needle after taking blood from my son, had to sign a bunch of paperwork for that one. Goodness what an exhausting 4 months that was. So glad we all made it out unscathed.
Im glad my son only stayed 2 days. If everyone (including myself) had realized it was a tongue tie making feeding so uncomfortable that he wouldn’t do it, then he likely would have never gone to the nicu. I wasn’t able to continue staying by his side either because my anemia was in full swing and they wanted to check me constantly and would interrupt me in the freakin nicu. And give me meds for things that didnt exist vs what did exist. I have a hard time trusting healthcare staff or taking their word for things because they’ve gotten my diagnosis wrong or ignored the correct diagnosis from my previous doc, not listened to me when i told them symptoms…. Etc. so my entire second birth and stay in the hospital was traumatic. Not as traumatic as the first, but definitely not a piece of cake. Well, my second actual birth was a piece of cake, no drugs for it and it was quicker and even less painful. I didn’t worry that someone was intentionally harming him though. This woman is the devil.
I’m watching the stories why I recover from cancer and I saw your letter, so happy that you stayed by your baby the entire time, I heard of a nurse in different states doing this to elderly and other patients, I think it’s like the doctor taking advantage of the USA girls team members, I still cringe to think of the thought of someone doing something so horrible, I think Jesus always protect me and ever surgery I had , my husband stayed by my side , as we go Tuesday to check a spot on my granddaughter head in New Orleans, please remember us in your prayers and I will always send you prayers, god bless you and your loved ones . ❤️🐱😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Same! Both of my daughters were NICU babies and I lived in the NICU room with them only leaving to take a shower at honeif my partner was there or to take a quick walk and get my emotions together even though I'm a nurse it's not the same when it's your own child struggling to survive. Thankfully they are both doing amazing now at ages 15 and 7 and I am very lucky the nursing staff was amazing. I hope your child is doing well now too!
As a mum who never got to meet her baby as the pregnancy was doomed from the beginning, people like this woman make me feel a small sense of relief my baby will never see the horror that is our world
@@romeowandrainbow1040having children and raising them to be loving and caring people is how this world will become a better place. I’m expecting my first child this month and I do sometimes worry about how to be able to protect him from many things.
I hope the hospital is sued into oblivion and those managers are left destitute! There is no punishment harsh enough for letting 7 babies die and even more be assaulted.
@@greenpedal370Bc they literally ignored all the suspicions and then gave her a desk job instead of reporting her to police? More victims came from them not doing something sooner
Baby G’s story I find particularly devastating because she fought so hard and although she didn’t lose her life she lost the life she could have had. They are all heartbreaking cases, I pray that their families can feel a small amount of justice from the verdict although that will never repair the damage done Thanks for the way you cover these cases Danielle, I can’t imagine how tough that would have been to research into. You tell all this stuff with the most compassion, you care about the victims and families you share about. We all love what you do 💚
I am a nurse. I reported a very abusive situation. I got accused of much worse, and a few of the staff involved grouped against me (the manager was very involved with this particular "group" of nurses). I have the conversations recorded - essentially HR said there was nothing they could do when I reported this and expressed "fear" of working under that manager, the HEAD of HR said, "there was nothing they could do." So, my only choice was to immediately quit. Fast forward 6 months later - my husband heard about the rumor at work from a coworker who was married to a nurse who was a friend of a friend of a friend who doesn't even work in healthcare anymore. Don't get me started on what has happened to me for not backing down from being a REAL patient advocate...it's always us against it...ALL of that (the politics mentioned in the video, and my experience) and more. Healthcare is NOT healthcare, it is a business to everyone in the "higher up" positions. I've worked in administration and had to quit because of how vile it is. So, that's healthcare. Whistleblowers get CUCKED. I retired from nursing after 10 years - that was my FINAL job. All hospitals need reviews that are not linked to the government, but a third party whose only goal is to secure patient and staff unbiased advocacy. Good luck, there are too many big pockets involved...major reform needs to happen, and it's unfortunate that people will not/cannot/won't/unable to stand against it. I can keep going. But I wont...because all I'm getting at is...I hate healthcare as it stands and this atrocity should be a BULLHORN of a wakeup call across the entire freaking world.
@@Pongi626 I always did, and I always paid the price. Our system in the U.S. doesn't actually want "good" nurses...they want bodies with quiet voices to keep the cash cows happy. It's so so sad. I cried so much so often...the job took so much out of me, and I still struggle with stepping away because I know as little as I could have...I was helping. It's so awful.
My dad works in IT security, and he told me once that a collegue of his was supposed to clean up the jumbled mess of healthcare administration. Not a week later, he was told not to bother with it, because the "higher ups" didn't want transparency in a system with so much money flowing through it.
Group think mentality sadly. Scapegoating. Human beings never stop perplexing me. Good job you taped the meetings. I was advised by police to carry a phone I could tape any words spoken to me by a toxic group. I thought about it. Then fenced them out of my home and paddock....life's too short. Ignore them all...
Danielle, never apologize for having to take a moment when emotions are overwhelming. You warn us that somethings will be hard to hear but never say how hard it is for you to research these same things. Not only are you researching these cases but you are putting them into a coherent narrative for us then editing your video's as well. Your mental health is very important so yes when sometimes you need to pause a moment or take more time I'm sure everyone who watches and listens understands that you need to look after yourself. Please take care of yourself both physically, emotionally and mentally.
@@Shadylady4181both sad but knowing you could have had a twin somehow seems worse because you probably always wonder what it would have been like vs (the ones that recovered fully) knowing this was done to you but I do think it hits different depending also on their own lingering health issues.
I can’t even begin to imagine the survivor guilt these kids are going to have. This woman has caused so much damage and most of it hasn’t even played out yet. It absolutely breaks my heart.
It's something so unfathomable. To know the hospital you were born in was a death trap which you were lucky to escape whereas your twin wasn't. How could she ever trust a hospital in her life? The survivors are the biggest victims of all.
@@MsMaryPatricia it's unthinkable. I just can't fathom how any human being could do this, destroy such a miracle. How can she live with it? She should be renamed Lucyfer letby
I don't understand why drs & nurses kept leaving her alone with the babies. Especially once ppl started getting suspicious insane how blind these ppl were
Wish she was in an American state with the death penalty. I don’t say that lightly. There are very few people I would think deserve this, and she is definitely one of them.
It's so awful to think about that little girl who'll grow up without her brother. He should've survived along with her and he would have if it wasn't for Lucy. That's so messed up.
I really think it's not about the babies, I believe it was about the parents. She revealed in the pain and suffering she inflicted to the parents. She's absolutely vile in every way. From bathing the babies and making keepsake boxes for the parents and to basically stalk the parents on Facebook just goes to show how far she went to make sure the parents suffered as much as possible.
I agree. I think LL wanted to abuse the parents. And then play the compassionate empathetic nurse. Like inflict pain and then be some sort of emotional saviour later.
She reminds me of people who are jealous of something someone else has. Like people who kidnap a kid after their kid dies. Wouldn't be surprised if she had a miscarriage before this and just didn't tell anyone. It just doesn't make sense to start this out of the blue
I think it could also be that she was intentionally harming the babies in order to save them. Its a metal illness often seen in medical professions. A fucked up version of a hero's complex. They make their victims worse before ultimately healing them. I dont know if she actually wanted to kill the babies or just wanted the glory or caring for them. Maybe she just wanted the synpathy and the mourning from parents to, someone to appreciate her for "all that she did". Either way shes servely messed up and should never be allowed children again.
My mother was a NICU nurse at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore MD for many years. This case would have infuriated her so so much. She's gone now, taken to soon, so in her name I want to send all my prayers, blessings and love to all the victims of this absolute monster.
Two of the doctors actually did suspect Lucy. They tried repeatedly to get an investigation going but the hospital threatened to put them before the disciplinary board because l7cy complained they were bullying and targeting her.
Make that 7. There were *seven* doctors and Consultants who raised their suspicions with the management of the hospital....it was on the second occasion they again raised their suspicions - some 15 Months after the first - did the police become involved.
I feel like Lucy being a smiling, attractive white woman sheltered her from investigation for a long time. What a deeply sick person. But she looks totally normal.
@@stephaniebach__12-24thank you! This has to do with people knowing their colleague and either not being able to imagine them able to do shit like this. Or not willing to risk their own reputation. But not skincolor. So sick that these days literally everything is turned into a race thing
I'm sure multiple staff members reported it to senior management. I think the other nurses caught on to what was going on too and reported her as well, but probably were told Lucy was not involved not to create a "fuss" as they said.
3 years! 3 years, between the first murder and her apprehension. This hospital should be closed permanently. I don't care that Lucy is in custody. Senior management is so negligent that I feel like it could easily happen again, and they'll just ignore it to avoid more bad press
the staff have been trying to prove it's her, it is the senior management that needs to be im prison, I think the hospital is fine. But after this, of course, patients will think twice before going there
I can sense your utter outrage for Letby and profound grief and devastation for these infants you endure by the way you put your makeup on. I feel your excruciating! Such a genuine, empathic and sincere human being. You are a blessing and a role model to humanity. Bit more blusher,I think.
My heart breaks for the parents and siblings who survived knowing their twins were murdered. I do feel bad for the doctors who were desperate for an investigation, and I believe they pleaded not to have Lucy on the ward. Entire senior management FAILED, I believe they need to serve time in jail.
I’ve seen several comments of moms saying “this is why I never left my baby…” As a first time mom myself, I was so unprepared for how exhausted and depleted I was after having a baby and, mind you, mine was full term and healthy. Granted, I had a hard pregnancy with complications and a c-section, but my daughter was not in the NICU, nor as vulnerable as these babies. Still, I had to rely on the nurses to help care for my baby at night while I slept and recovered. New parents are also so vulnerable and we place so much trust in healthcare professionals like WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO. Caring for babies is literally their job. This was not a failing on the part of ANY of these parents and I know they must have so much guilt. I’m glad some parents had the energy not to leave their children, and I absolutely do not shame their choices, but I’m sick of reading these comments inadvertently shaming the parents for simply taking short breaks to get food or to sleep when they were told their child was stable. They did NOTHING wrong by placing their trust in hospital staff while they met their basic human necessities. I know people leaving comments like that are not thinking of how backhanded a statement like that is, but I can’t imagine being a parent having gone through this case or one similar and immediately reading “this is why I didn’t leave my baby.” Please, have some self awareness and take a second to realize how sensitive this subject is. Danielle and other creators in her genre have said families of victims and victims themselves do watch her videos, so please be aware, kind, and cognizant. Peace and love.
look. you can say that, or not, it doesn't matter, you're not I charge of the baby in the hospital. you're a visitor of a patient. we placed 100% trust in the nurses and staff rightly, and the parents standing there looking miserable and being unable to do anything wouldn't have solved the fact this woman was a MONSTER
Right? It is absolutely ridiculous to talk about these parents "leaving" their babies. First you don't get a choice in some situations, and those tend to be nicu babies. In normal circumstances, parents are 100% in the way when their baby is being treated in an emergency situation. Sometimes you can't go into the nicu at all to see your baby, the thought which is just horrifying. Also, what parent would have stopped a nurse that looked like they were changing or introducing something to an iv, or looked like they were taking blood for a test? Some people are nosy or curious, but most people would put trust in staff automatically because it was a hospital. My heart breaks for these families.
It's also a dumbass comment because when your baby is in the NICU, you literally have no choice but to leave his/her side! You're not allowed to stay in the NICU 24/7 with your baby. It's not your decision or choice to leave the baby's side. So many mothers are super judgemental and crazy self-righteous nowadays. It makes me really glad that my kids are grown.
If she managed to murder babies in front of other nurses she could have done it in front of parents too. Because no one expects a NICU nurse to be trying to kill her patients.
Omg I work in the NICU in Canada. Our nurses would’ve been investigated after the first death! Any infant death no matter how premature is sent for an autopsy, then released to the funeral home. Always an autopsy first. Then investigation by HR and all parties questioned. This hospital sounds negligent. I’m literally so mad after hearing about baby F and that they suspected her already but let her back? I’m crying I’m so mad. This is a pure evil demon. She’s not even human. She should have been dealt with by grieving parents or people that can’t have children and stoned or worse. This is so disgusting. Poor poor babies. Omg.
I’m in my last semester of nursing school getting ready to be a L&D nurse. This story literally makes me sick to think about. I genuinely can’t get over it
I’m not even a mother and this was really difficult for me to watch. I can’t even imagine what it was like for the parents, my heart shatters for them.
What makes me even more frustrated about this case, is when some of the babies would leave the hospital only to be TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE HOSPITAL LUCY WORKED AT 😡🤬
I can’t explain how this woman makes me feel. As a mother, I am BEYOND furious. I’m beyond devastated… she deserves the WORSE punishment that life can give. I truly am sorry to these parents & families.
There were also other deaths that were obviously very suspicious. Several babies overfed milk and injected with air. That alone was extremely suspect. Horrible that they waited so long to really start investigating and doing tests to look deeper into what was going on.
She probably pleaded not guilty so she could relive every murder/attempted murder throughout the trial. Seriously disturbing case, and completely devastating for those babies and their families. Heartbreaking beyond belief 💔
Looked up her name on google and immediately saw a bunch of articles saying she has “fans” and they are sending her Christmas letters in the mail. The thought of people feeling sorry for this woman makes me sick.
@@davecalderdalelufc8173I was a preemie in 83, due in 84… I had something similar to meningitis but I was 4 years old, something meningococcal as a result of scratching my eye with my fingernail (bacteria), I am not permanently blind but at the time I was blind in one eye for a week, I remember wearing the pirate patch on my eye, laying on my stomach, clawing at the carpet because the pain was so bad… and doctors holding me down in the hospital to keep me still for the spinal tap, looong needle up inside my back I remember… Sorry for the rant but I saw similarities and commented.. Anyway I hope things are going good for you
There’s a few people in the uk that just can’t believe anyone could do this. So they think she’s been wrongly convicted especially as no evidence of cctv or witnesses. I think they only feel pity as they think she’s been put away for something she didn’t do. This amount of circumstantial evidence bypasses any coincidence
Why THE FUCK were video surveillance cameras not installed in those nurseries after the first couple of attacks and attempts?!? It makes absolutely no sense, none. This whole story is just beyond heartbreaking, but when it came to the baby the she shoved a metal instrument down their throat, that’s when I just about lost it, and why was no X-ray or scan done at all? They would have noticed that right away?!? Thank you for sharing this story, I think it’s really important that people are made aware of this kind of evil, and as always you went over the case with such compassion and grace. Thank you for that.
It would be illegal in the US to put up any cameras bc of HIPPA laws that protect all patients medical history- aka it’s illegal to record inside a patients room or anywhere that medical procedures are performed or that any patient medical information or procedures are even discussed. I’m sure the UK has a similar law(s).
@@lilmorsecodyBecause they're underfunded and stretched to the limit because of bad government handling. Bad NHS care isn't ubiquitous across all hospitals.
Seriously, this attention seeking behavior has become an epidemic of its own. Lucy Letby has clearly always been the centre of attention during her childhood at home and due to her more than healthy self esteem within her circle of friends as well. But as a nurse, she was one amongst many - a worker, not a princess. So she made herself the centre of attention once again through the worst means possible.
@@sheilaboland6285 The exact same way people do with every other serial killer. We will never truly know why they are the way they are but we can make observations and put two and two together based in how their lives have played out. I mean, it’s better than having to think that she just did it for the sake of it.
@LucaSitan: I see what you are saying as I have a theory Lucy envied the childhood those babies would go onto to have due to the attention babies and toddlers receive. Envy is a very dangerous emotion. She could have retrained for a new profession the second the urge to kill became apparent to her. Those poor babies and parents, I cant bare to even think of being in their shoes. Those who bought her to justice had a sickening job, hard not to spare thoughts for them too.
Amelia Dyer the British hospital trained Nurse turned 'baby farmer' who murdered several hundred babies (hanged in 1896) had a kind, motherly appearence and manner - which was how she got away with it for so long. Her police photo had been heavily retouched to make her look harsh and evil - as they also did with the photo of Moira Hindley who I have seen in person and looked nothing like that photo.
This is one of the worst series of events I've ever heard. I am a healthcare worker, and I can't even fathom how this could have happened, and how this went on for so long without prompt intervention from the hospital. My heart goes out to the victims of this woman's cruel actions.
25 minutes in. Cannot think of a better youtuber to cover this case than you! such a heinous, tragic unimaginable case , you are portraying with such sensitivity & feeling. with love from Manchester UK
That hospital has a lot to answer for! I could not imagine the pain and suffering these families have had to endure. My son was premature, fortunately at 31 weeks. He still spent a month in the care of nurses and Doctors. Thinking you’re in the clear and then something like that happens? Then to find out the hospital ignored the complaints? Nope I was crying listening to your thoughtful video today. So very very heartbreaking. We all need to pray for these families affected by this sick sick woman. In Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏼💕❤️
My first son was born at 30 weeks after they tried to stop my labor 4 times… thank God he didn’t have to spend a long time in the NICU, but I remember being so scared 😟. I still speak to some of the nurses that helped us and he is 18 years old now! This woman is pure evil 😣
I mean, can you blame her? If you can sleep at night knowing that you’re murdering the most innocent and vulnerable of people then you’ve gotta be a pretty sick person and they’re really isn’t much hope for humanity anymore. Honestly, I don’t even think you’re human at that point if you commit such a heinous crime.
I lost my infant son because of nurse neglect. He passed in my arms 6hrs after birth. That has been hard enough for me to accept, as I feel she inadvertently murdered my son. I can't imagine how angry and upset these parents are. My heart goes out to them, this grief is neverending. As a former nurse, this infuriates me beyond words. Imagine being these babies main nurse?! I would blame myself forever. So many lives were destroyed by this evil, vile thing.
This broke my fucking heart I'm so sorry mama.i hope you find peace one day. No one deserves this baby. I am so so so sorry. I wish there was a way to make this better
Obviously all the deaths are Lucy Letby’s fault, but how on earth did the nurse in charge of Baby C not put 2 and 2 together when she was in the room with Lucy who was literally standing over the baby both times he or she went into cardiac arrest??!
Paediatric nurse here, I don't think the first thing in your head is to think the nurse who's trained specifically to look after sick children, along with the stress of the job, would deliberate try and harm a child. My thought would most likely be that they are there to help as that's what nurses are supposed to do!! I'm sure it's also easy to be brainwashed by someone who fakes being a caring nurturing nurse
@@siinnead absolutely, I think the nurses that worked along side her probably feel enough guilt without it being piled on. They just thought everyone else was doing their job like they were, it’s easy to say in hindsight knowing what we know now.
This has to be the most baffling story I've ever heard , I'm constantly shocked at how evil this woman is and at how the hospital allowed this to happen
It’s horrid that the doctors who kept saying something wasn’t right with Lucy were forced to write apology notes for bullying her and complaining. They were basically silenced and threatened with being sacked, hospital needs to be investigated honestly for negligence
Unfortunately, they did exactly what they were created to do, protect the hospital. They aren't there to protect the patients. Just like HR is there to protect a company from potential lawsuits, not to advocate for the employees.
I was born just before 29 weeks, i weighed 3 pound 4 ounces. I have a cleft lip and palate and had so many other complications. It’s crazy to think that if one of the nurses who cared for me during my 6 months in the hospital where like Lucy they could have so easily hurt/killed me. Thank god for all the loving, caring, life saving nurses who cared for me and all the other premature babies!
the way Danielle says " babies" like how her face softens and with her accent just makes the details of this case 1000 times more acrid and unsettling. she says these horrid things in such a human tone and it really brings to life the horror and things beyond human comprehension....speak their names... protect the young. thank you Danielle for having the voice and the stomach and determination
same. not sure if it was Danielle or the content but it is so truly unsettling, our natural wiring is set to PROTECT the young. heal the sick, aid the weak. nature is harsh but not nearly as cruel as human beings
I can't even freaking imagine because I had my daughter at 24 weeks weighing 1lb 2oz and 9 inches and I've never heard of this case and I'm literally sick to my stomach 🤮and my daughter was in the nicu for almost 5 months and she wasn't supposed to make it. Thank Goda she was at the best hospital with the most amazing nurses. My daughter is 17 now and a senior this year. My daughter is truly a miracle ❤️. How and why just why would she do this? I'm so heartbroken for these parents 😢. And how could they not think it was her doing this? I'm having a hard time watching this and I can usually get through anything but this hits so close to home 😢
One of my twin babies died in the NICU. His nurses were amazing and I've remained in contact with them for over 7 years now. Most of them quit after that and went to different programs because it was so traumatic for them. If I ever found out anything they did contributed...I don't know what I'd do. Those poor parents. I wish I could hug them and take away at least some of their pain. Edited to add: I just have to add, as a NICU parent, this horrible horrible woman knew that baby E would look like he died from NEC if he was vomiting blood. That plus sepsis and an immune condition is what killed my son. Most likely that's why she put air in one of the babies stomachs as well. On imaging that would also look like NEC. A NICU nurse would know all about NEC, how quickly, and how brutally it kills babies. That's so sickening. We were very much encouraged to have an autopsy done by the doctor on duty when our baby died. And I'm glad we did it because it gave us a lot of answers and I would have always wondered.
Former NICU mom here to a micro-preemie and yes you are exactly correct… that is the first thing that I thought of was NEC (she knew exactly what she was doing).
The alphabet just kept going💔 How absolutely devastating for those poor parents, my heart shatters for them and I desperately wish they found a glimpse of hope and justice with the sentencing
There is a case like this going on in Pennsylvania right now. A nurse in a rehab/nursing home killed several people by injecting them with insulin and air. People are so awful.
I have had 2 babies in NICU. Horrible experiences both times with negligence. My heart goes out to the parents and those poor tiny souls. Just unspeakable.
I’m from USA and I swear we haven’t seen any media coverage on this. Thank you for covering cases like this for those of us stuck in the US 😅 this was heartbreaking to hear. I can only imagine how hard it was to cover a story like this. Thank you for all that you do 💛
40 minutes in, and it's absolutely ridiculous that the hospital didn't suspect anything that the same thing kept happening again and again when the SAME nurse was on the shift? The hospital should have been investigated and fined as well for their negligence.
First off, I’m pissed the hospital didn’t figure this out MUCH sooner. Most deaths would’ve been easily prevented!! Isn’t there cameras???? Who’s watching them???? I broke when I heard that the baby was screaming with blood coming out. I broke more hearing parents held their baby until their baby’s last breath.. as a mother of 4 children (youngest is 6 months) I can’t imagine!! All of those babies were so innocent. Fighting to live. This is sickening!
if i remember correctly, there were doctors who said to the higher people in the hospital that they were concerned about letby, but they were quickly dismissed as they were believed to be making a fuss out of nothing
Not figuring it out much sooner as well as sending babies away to get better and then to keep bringing them back. If they are obviously improving elsewhere why the F*CK would you bring them back..
As a paediatric student nurse, camera's in a paediatric ward would go against the privacy and dignity of the patient. However, the lack of speaking up from everyone who was suspicious of Lucy was what really concerned me. I can't imagine what the parents were feeling from losing their children. Sickening stuff from a paediatric nurse!!!
The baby screaming broke me too. That was just devastating. It’s all devastating. Cases like these have always been awful to hear but since I became a parent it’s almost impossible. I think you just know exactly what you have to lose at that point and even imagining going through something like that is so painful that the idea other parents have had to experience it … absolute nightmare. And it’s so so scary that someone could do this to little babies on purpose. Not that cases about adults are better in any way, but there’s just something extra sick and twisted about people who do this to babies and children. They’ve done absolutely nothing in their little lives. Completely innocent and helpless.
It would be illegal in the US to put up any cameras bc of HIPPA laws that protect all patients medical history/information- aka it’s illegal to record inside a patients room or anywhere that medical procedures are performed or that any patient medical information or procedures are even discussed. I’m sure the UK has a similar law(s).
Hopefully she will get prison justice. She is PURE EVIL and deserves the EXACT OR WORSE treatment she gave those innocent defenseless babies! As a diabetic mommy of twins that were our miracles after 10 YEARS of fertility issues and heartache, I cannot even imagine what these poor parents went through after finally giving birth…..😔
I’ve never cried during any of the true crime things I’ve watched but seeing Danielle break down about baby I made ME tear up. This case is so horrifying. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of it until now. What a monster.
This is the first video of yours that I've ever watched and I'm hooked. Don't apologise for needing to take a moment, it shows you are human with real emotions and I find that comforting. You have yourself a new subscriber and I will be taking the time to go through your past recordings
Listening to this case was hard, don’t think I’ve ever felt so much hate towards someone. My daughter had to stay in NICU for 3 days after she was born, I was so lucky to get such kind people to look after her. They were amazing, I got them a thank you card with my daughters footprint on it when we left. My heart breaks for those parents and babies 💔
As a Nicu mom of 3 micro-premies babies this case makes me so upset, so frustrated. When I saw this case the first time I had my last baby in NICU just new born in a hospital that I have to fight day and night with nurses and doctors. Couldn’t transport her to our local facility because she was entubated. She was in Nicu for 138 days. So this case roll in my head day and night the whole time she was in that other hospital. When moved to our local NICU, I had peace of mind since we know the nurses from previous babies. In fact we have a dear nurse to us that took care of my 3 kids. So in a little more positive note, they still are amazing NICU NURSES, dedicated to this babies.
Ok, every case you cover leaves me saying aloud, “ok Danielle, that was the worst one.” But THIS… for real. Thank you for always being so sensitive, poignant, and classy about the way you cover these atrocities.
After Harold Shipman and Beverly Allitt, you’d think the British government would have had more protective measures to avoid anything like this from happening again. This is so chilling that it’s so similar to that of Allitt in the 90’s and that many staff members didn’t react! Thank you for covering this case, Danielle ❤
It seems most of the “nurse killer” cases there were warning signs way before they are stopped. Thank you for telling this it’s so much compassion. Much love to the families ❤️🙏
I came here to say that. Just, HOW did no one notice? Or if so, why were they hushed??? Also, a reasonable person would change departments in lieu of trauma. Just Saying!
@@Maple.leaves one doctor brought it up to the Director and they dismissed it right after baby and any of them could have called police, also baby D had to be put in nursery one because of the hospitals mistake. Such a shame that people trusted this place.
@@hk316pea it’s a shame doctors didn’t go to police, as far as I’ve read multiple raised concerns about her. I wonder if the doctors going to police would be breaking confidentiality so they’d have to go through official channels at the hospital to have the cases sent off to police. Absolutely sickening that the hospital would rather cover its own ass (and Lucy’s) instead of protecting patients. It was clearly so suspicious
You told this dreadful, complex story with such clarity and true compassion. Deepest sympathies to all the parents and extended families, pray lessons have been learned so hopefully this can never happen again. Those sweet babes had you to tell their story, so they will never be forgotten... many thanks.
Hey Danielle! I know this is a horrible case and this must be very hard for you to cover. Thank you so much for covering and bringing awareness to this case and I love how you respect the victims and their loved ones. I’m so proud that you’re almost at 1 million subscribers! You’ve worked so hard to get here! Thank you so much for being consistent and for providing such quality content! ❤️ Love from the USA! 🇺🇸
My nephew was born at 25 weeks and weighed 1lb 13oz. The NICU staff were amazing and he’s now a 4 year old about to start Primary School. He’s as bright as a button and utterly adorable! Thankfully, Lucy Letby is an anomaly in the nursing profession.
I can totally relate because I had my daughter at 24 weeks weighing 1lb 2oz and 9 inches and was in the nicu for almost 5 months and she wasn't supposed to make it but thank God she was at the best hospital and had amazing nurses. My daughter is 17 now and a senior this year. She's amazing and I'm blessed. This is super hard for me to watch and it just hits to close to home. I'm so heartbroken for these parents 😢and I've never had to take a break with any of her videos. I don't understand why like why would she do this? They should have had a clue it was her. I pray she gets the death penalty
@@goodbher9244Beverly Allot is another one, Dr Shipham, the list is growing & unfortunately with increasing publicity surrounding these cases like-minded seriel killer's may see a hospital as an easy hunting ground, terribly vulnerable people to start with & so much trust placed in them
this breaks my heart for the parents, pregnancy as a whole is already a huge struggle and the fear of losing your baby naturally is already plaguing their minds but nobody ever thinks that their nurses/doctors could be the ones killing their babies before they could even take them home 🥲
I’ve heard so many of true crime stories and this one is one of those that I kept having knots in my throat trying not to cry and asking how can this be real ?!?! So evil !
I'm a UK nurse.
We were watching the verdict on shift the other day. It beggars belief.
As a nurse it made me so damn angry.
As a mother it broke my heart. ..
It's abhorrent.
I'm glad she got a full life sentence. Murdering babies and leaving people worried their child isn't safe in hospitals. That should NEVER be a parents worry when their child is sick. My son was in hospital last year. And I fully trusted he wonderful paeds nurses looking after him. That she could tarnish that trust for others is awful. She deserves to live out a long long life with nothing look forward to and hope for.
The Trust failed those babies and also you medical professionals. To be associated with such a monster by profess is a discredit to people who take oaths to save lives
Reminds me of the Beverley Allitt case, who is in a psyciatric centre, she should go to prison too, ....so tragic
i can not even imagine. thank you for your work. i'm US ems. what you do saves lives and no one should have to hear these cases, because they shouldnt happen. its a crime against humanity.
i'll travel to the uk next month.. i'm terrified to have a chance to end up in that hospital..
i know it seems irrational, but can't help it.
does anyone know if the parents were compensated by Countess Chester Hospital whatever BY NOW? Lord I hope so.
Those poor parents that have memory boxes, knowing that the murderer of their baby put it together. You would be desperate to keep anything connected to that baby but knowing she put it together??!! I can’t wrap my head around how torn they must feel. Heartbreaking 😢
It makes me sick to my stomach. Those poor parents will never get over this.
It’s truly sick and disgusting that she did that. The only physical thing they have left of their baby soiled by their murderers hands. 💔
Part of her sick and twisted motive
I make those memory boxes as a NICU nurse. I'm proper sickened by imagining her taking some sort of joy in creating the NEED for the box. It's such a privilege to be trusted with these little babes, she abused that trust.
I had the exact same thought as you. Those hand and foot prints are the most precious and cherished things those parents have left of their little ones, but they were given to them by their killer. That is a kind of mental torture no one on earth should ever have to experience, let alone those poor innocent parents. My heart breaks for them.
There's an article in The Independent today that changes the law because of her! She refused to attend her sentencing (i.e. face her victims) and there was a HUGE public outcry, so now defendants MUST attend their sentencing and face their victims.
LOVE your channel so much!
I didn't even know it was a choice!? I've NEVER heard of someone just saying "nah, im not goin to sentencing" like what!? 😂😂 where is this story at again? Shoot I wish I coulda skipped my own sentencing. Mine was just drugs tho so not like I had victims but my dad and mom and grandma were there to watch me get sentenced to 3 years in prison at freaking 19 years old so that was a horrible moment. I really wish I woulda known you could say, mmm no thanks.
Unenforceable laws, done so politicians can look hard on crime without doing one damn thing that would change anything.
As they should! Not going is just one more way for them to assert control over their victims. It’s to bad LL can’t be retroactively punished for refusing to attend.
It’s disgraceful that they don’t have to go to court. Thank goodness they are changing this law
They should of dragged her into the court
I gasped at the identical triplets. Lucy didn't just take those babies from their parents, she took them from their remaining sibling. That poor child.
As the mother of a micro-preemie, this case is so hard for me to listen to and comprehend. My daughter was born 15 weeks early, weighed 1.5 lbs, and spent her first 90 days of life in the NICU. Since then, I have literally idolized NICU nurses and for one of them to intentionally commit such evil, vile, and atrocious acts is just beyond anything I can put in to words. Our NICU nurses where absolute angels…they were my life line when I couldn’t be with her 24 hours a day. They were patient and understanding and I never had a doubt that they would do everything in their power to keep my daughter safe and ensure that she would eventually come home with us. They tolerated my relentless calls to check in when I wasn’t there and my constant questions when I was there. We actually became very close to some of our nurses and I trusted their advice even above the doctors who were usually only there for an hour a day at most. Those nurses truly loved my daughter by the time we left as well as all of the other babies in their care. They were extremely protective of them to the point of even intentionally keeping babies longer than necessary if they felt the home environment wasn’t going to be great. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to even imagine one of them intentionally harming a baby. My heart breaks for the parents and families who fell victim to this evil woman. My daughter is now 21 years old and in her senior year of college. She’s perfectly healthy thanks to her wonderful NICU nurses who loved her and cared for her during her first crucial months of life. We’re still in touch with many of them, exchanging Christmas cards and occasional letters and one of them even drove for hours to attend her high school graduation. Lucy Letby is an evil heartless monster who doesn’t deserve the title of NICU nurse.
Eta: Are there no cameras in this hospital/NICU?
THANK YOU!!! That's what I keep thinking. Every NICU I've ever seen is like a fort. Security, emergency lock doors and cameras at least at the nurses station
I was also thinking this, why on earth aren’t there cameras in each nursery?? 😢
I was also wondering why no cameras.
Thank you for asking about the cameras. When I heard the date of this story, I couldn’t help but wonder why, if nothing else, they didn’t have cameras or security in the NICU.
I know she was an employee so maybe security was lessened for her, but the fact no cameras were mentioned makes me think there wasn’t that much security in the first place…
I had a micro premie as well at 26wks and had great nurses who showed so much love n compassion.she is 31 yrs old now n a mum herself.what this monster has done is so pathetic.those parents I so much feel for them.loss of their child to find out the nurse did this it makes me sick.
Charges need to be brought against management. They knew lives were at stake. They knew something was going on. Thank you for covering this case, Danielle. It was so full of detail and your usual compassion ♥️
Heads need to ROLL for this... figuratively, of course.
100% agree that Management should also be accountable for not acting much sooner..
This is probably one of your best crime cases yet Danielle and truly heartbreaking as well
i think charges are coming i think
You’re damn right! This is so horrific and heartbreaking I can’t believe this. How could you harm a baby!? These babies fit in their hands I just - I can’t believe this.
Look at all that upper management who all "retired" with golden parachutes to a different country where they totally had no idea what was going on. The CEO had the audacity to say "it's the doctor's fault"
Danielle, I want to tell you that I am so very touched by the way you tell this horrific story. I held my first born infant in my arms as he passed away. (He was born with a terminal birth defect - we were blessed to be able to say goodbye.) I bring this up because seeing you become so emotional when you tell about the parents in this story who held their babies and said their own agonizing goodbyes touches me deeply. It has been years since I lost my son, but I found comfort for my own grief through the empathy and compassion you share toward the victims here as you tell this story. Thank you so much for your compassion, empathy, and for the care with which you recount these awful events. It means so very much to me, and I feel sure that I am not the only viewer who feels this way.
❤❤❤
Agreed 💯!!! 💙
She always tell them with compassion and so much emotion ❤❤❤❤she’s is amazing
I agree. She is an amazing young lady with obvious compassion. I'm sure it was very hard to film this video but it was done with such humility.
Can agree with this! Won’t lie I was tearing up seeing her cry here. I’ve never seen her show this much emotion doing a case before.
I’m 9 months pregnant and this is so hard to listen to. I hope the prison mamas she’s with now give these babies some justice.
I’m expecting my first child this month too and was thinking the exact same thing! This monster should’ve never chosen this job. She could’ve go work at an abortion clinic instead of at a place where worrying parents are praying for the best chance and care for their newborns. Such innocent, sweet and tiny vulnerable babies. How evil
I was way too restless in hospital and scared that anything could happen to him I had little to no sleep at all two nurses I spoke to were horrible unlike the rest. My mum explained that as a newborn I was meant to have been looked after while she tried getting rest to fight off the pain when they gave her pain relief but they didn't do their job because they pushed me into a dark black room no one in sight and they were laughing and watching tv down the hall hospital wouldn't let my dad in back then due to hours I think? I was found in urine,soaked up tears on my face, feces and throw up everywhere in my hospital bed. I tried to let the nurses attempt to look after him once desparate for sleep but then I wondered if the same fate would happen to him because I remember all too well when I was staring at the ceiling in that dark room.. it was scary and so I decided to buzz back the nurse using my hospital bed button to be fair I gave it like 20-30 minutes and I told her I think I'm ready to try and sleep with my son beside me again and thanked her for being so kind and sweet.
Sorry but that thought gives me a big smile.theres a lot of women in prison that will give her some justice..I can only pray
I'm 8 months and this is hard to listen to. I can say I always worried about stuff like this so since my first baby @17 I have never send any of my 6 to the nursery or let them go anywhere I can't go.
Yes scary when I gave birth they put monitors on the babies and I said I don't need that on my baby but staff said no it's mandatory because of baby kidnapping you wouldn't think you would have to look out for the staff being the biggest threat
The negligence of this hospital is truly despicable, she should have been linked to the first 2 babies end of story. No other babies needed to die or suffer lifelong complications.
This 💯 I never understood how they let it get this far? I saw where one of her coworkers actually suspected her in the beginning and he went to the higher ups and he was made to apologize to her for thinking she had anything to do with it!!! 🥺
Yea it's ridiculous that she got away with it for so long. A coworker of mine joked that if a particularly difficult patient passed he wouldn't care. Low and behold the patient passed the next shift and he was told to stay home while they investigated.
Unforgiveable. Even trying to protect her. They should be on trial too. Total negligence. Deriliction of duty. How many could have been saved. Those poor parents need answers.
I really don't get how people who don't use any common sense or logic work at senior management positions. I think they should be in prison too. At least 3-4 deaths are on them because they were either covering up or negligent. They knew who was responsible from the first months of deaths happening.
This! They should have been more on top of suspicious deaths
As an ex NICU nurse, current PICU nurse, this BREAKS my heart! I work with very sick babies who are helpless and dealing with their parents emotions and trying so hard to do all i could to push these babies through their illness, i will never understand how she could do this, she's evil, vile, selfish and INSANE!
Thank you for all your hard work! I’m sure you’re under appreciated and underpaid. But thank you!!! We need sacrificial people like you.
Paeds nurse here have helped out occasionally in nicu but mainly just feeding the weller babies that just need fattening up for home. Couldn’t work in nicu full time there so scarily tiny and vulnerable. I just can’t believe how awful this case is and how many red flags there were. The thought of leaving your patient with another nurse only to come back and they’ve done something to that baby just beyond words. I think I’d have to leave the profession if that had happened to me so traumatic
She's not insane but she hasn't got the feelings or empathy of normal people in society
As a nurse myself, the management need to be also held accountable. It’s crazy how much things they ignore, in the hospitals I’ve worked too. Not necessarily to do with deaths but they don’t care about patients safety or wellbeing of staff. We are always overworked & understaffed.
@@malllxuz6889 Right! And if you’re exhausted the mistake and emotional damage is on you!
It took me 2 months to finally click on this video. Thank you for handling it so well and making it tolerable to listen to. I cried multiple times and still have a lump in my throat.
Did this hospital not have cameras in the rooms? And maybe set up a “buddy system” so that way no single nurse is alone with a baby. How awful. My heart breaks for those sweet babies. Their lil bodies went through so much. It’s all unimaginable. The hospital also needs to be held accountable.
That what I was internally screaming when I watched a different video on the case. They could’ve saved so many babies if they set up cameras and caught her in the act.
Think they said the hospital got cameras recently as of 2020.
Sadly cameras won't happen, the privacy, dignity of patients will take precedence over what is while absolutely horrible, is very rare in the world.
Instead, the hospitals need to take patient and colleague concerns seriously. Automatic tests/post mortems should also happen when a serious incident, unexplained event or death occurs.
Even patients that have had serious incidents should be dealt with a different nurse, different team or transferred to a different hospital.
Even the buddy system you've suggested, while it may help abit, again there isn't the staff to do it and if someone really wanted to do this, they'd have the time to. Letby and Allit both did their actions when people went for breaks, were away from the cots.
Even just simple things like nurses being able to be at the cotside instead of managing countless patients per nurse, and not having other tasks that take them away from the bedside/cotside would minimise the chance of this happening.
Also, Managers also need to be accountable and should have medical knowledge. Business Managers/top brass of the NHS currently don't need any medical qualifications. They can simply do business degrees or have that background and be running a hospital. Changing policies that doctors have to follow.
It's literally like that top guy in your workplace that hasn't got a clue, comes up with what they think is a great idea and people on the ground know its not a good idea but, cannot get through to the top people kind of scenerio.
And I think you'd agree, we cannot have these kind of people running our hospitals. It has to be someone that's done medicine, nursing or some kind of medical specialty.
Some heart monitoring can have cameras.
Just saw the sentencing. She was an absolutely horrific monster and she got the most severe sentence as she should. Thank you for covering it. It's tough when it involves kids.
@@sugarsundae3400 excuse me explain why do you think that
@@sugarsundae3400she 100% is guilty, if you believe otherwise you're in denial.
@@Liz-ch8jeWhere's the hard evidence to prove she's guilty ? No one saw her do anything there is no camera evidence only circumstantial evidence. The notes found under her bed were taken out of context she felt guilty for not being able to save them and blamed herself she never admitted killing them in her notes. Her family who know her better than anyone think she's innocent and so do many of her friends and colleagues. The babies died from natural deaths or failures in the hospital Lucy has been used as a scapegoat.
@@sugarsundae3400how the heck can you think she is not guilty???
And she didn’t even went to the sentencing, they should have force her to be there listening to the victim impact statements.
I’m a L&D nurse and a Nicu nurse. This makes me absolutely makes me sick. Nurses bust their ass to keep these babies alive and do our best to make sure that they go home with their parents. I won’t say what I would like to do to Lucy. My heart breaks for the parents of the angel babies. Hell is not hot enough for Lucy
You are an amazing human being, a literal angel and life saver, thank you for all you do 😇😌
Thank you so much. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
Thank you for everything you do.
My daughter was only in NICU a few days (thank goodness!) but the NICU nurses we met were absolute angels!!! God bless you for doing what you do!!!
Thank you for the amazing work you do- so many families mine included deeply appreciate people like you. My lil brother nurses was a angel and helped my brother so many
Danielle, just know that we all appreciate the stress and hardships you put yourself through researching these cases. At certain points in the video, i can hear in your voice that you are holding back tears and how much you care for the victims. i’ve been a long time follower and love your approach to these cases. Sending love from Florida. 🤍
As the mother of a micro preemie, born at 23wks and only weighed 1lb 5oz, who did a 109 day stint in the NICU this case is terrifying. The amount of trust you implicitly put in the staff at places like that will always give me pause. Those poor babies and their families 😢. My heart is utterly broken for them.
as a fellow preemie, i hope you and the kid are okay now
I can also relate to this as mine was a 24 wk premie and was in the NICU for 145 days and really struggled at times, also the closest NICU was 300 miles from where I live. It’s terrifying to think that people you have to trust completely with your fragile baby could do these kinds of things.
Knowing that Lucy created the memory box for baby A breaks my heart. The parents will never be able to look at their lost baby’s hand prints without thinking about the killer handling their lost little one
And she knew that would be the case. She definitely knew that if she were to ever be caught, all of those parents would think of her, what she's done to their babies and cause them even more grief each and every time they'd look at their babies' hand and footprints.
Oh my. I hadn’t thought of that. Even more horrible, because they’re not going to want to discard their baby’s hand or footprints.
That was her job, to do the memory box. A lot of the things she did, were her job. Standing over a cot and observing a baby waiting for an issue to self-correct, or making a clinical observation before calling for a doctor is also part of a nurse's job.
@@yggdrasil9039 WOW.
It’s pure concentrated evil
that mother seeing her baby crying in pain with blood coming out of their mouth sounds like something out of a horror movie, i cant even imagine how traumatic that is. rip to all of these babies 💗
I can't imagine. I have 5 children. My last one was born early and in and out of NICU....I am heart wrenched. The pain on that poor baby. I wish there were REAL punishment for criminals like this...prison is nothing but a free life card. Now we all get to pay to care for this woman....it's sick. Medal should be shoved down her throat. I literally hate this woman toy core and wish I could get my hands on her...I hope the woman in prison gets there hands on her
they are not in pain anymore
That part hit me the most, and then the baby was cuddled by their parents and died in their arms, I couldn't stop crying! 😭💔
I almost had to skip through that one, but told myself that baby & the parents had to physically go through that, so the least I could do was listen. But, it was rough. The mental picture was exactly as you said. Out of a HORROR MOVIE. There's no words to describe this type of evil!
That part really broke me I was going to stop the video it was too much she deserves hell😡😡
I find it baffling and scary how often she was seen hovering over a dying child and it still took them a long time to think it might be her... And even when it was spotted it was dismissed.
It's odd she was not doing things to help...ie sitting at a desk. Not her cats fault though...maybe they got lucky and rehomed...its odd she was a Christian. Jesus raised from dead...but didn't kill em first...
@@Geeronimo99I think a lot of people abuse religion and give it a bad name.
I think it's just because you don't expect someone you're working with to be doing something like that. Like I'm sure the healthcare professionals themselves were working really hard to help all of their patients and are used to seeing everyone else around them doing the same, so it is a jump to go from that to actively suspecting that an individual has heinous attempts
I've read a bit about this case. Her colleagues thought she had something to do with it. When a baby would have issues they would make an inside joke among eachother asking if Lucy was working on that shift. However, from what i understood, it was the hospital administration that forced the staff to not push this issue (probably saying they would fire who kept pushing the topic). Hospitals very rarely admit guilt because this (by their mindset) would allow all of the parents who we're affected by her, to take the hospital to court and ask for money or give them bad PR. I'm also a firm believer the hospital didn't want to hide a killer. I'd say they were convinced she was maybe just making mistakes, maybe gross negligence or professional malpractice and that's why they ended up putting her in a desk.
lucy was alleged to have killed the babies!!!!! there was no real evidence she was the killer!! juries can be wrong! ask the sub post office workers & andrew malkinson!! lucy was in shock in court!
The hospital needs to be sued , there was one common denominator of that same nurse , she should’ve of been investigated .how can they not investigate multiple deaths that were happening back to back ?
Right?! I don’t get this at all. How they couldn’t add 1+1= Lucy letby?!! 😕 if it walks like a duck quacks like a duck it’s not a freaking dog… it’s obvious who it was even after the first two or three they should have been able to put it together and I wonder if they did but they just tried to sweep it under the rug or ignore it?
100% agree. Only money matters to the CEOs and hospital administration.
Hospital management is notoriously awful it’s ridiculous how negligent they’re at their jobs
This whole case baffles me! I'm just a little ole CNA in a nursing home but even a tiny skin tear has to be reported to the state. I don't understand how this many DEATHS were basically swept under the rug..
@@reeseellison8820CNA nurses are very important and we are just as grateful for you. Thank you for what you do. 🙏🏾♥️
It is terrifying how far into the alphabet we are going with her victims 💔
Wow! I thought the letters were an initial!
That’s exactly what I was thinking- like holy sh*t that’s too many letters?!?!
Okkkaaayyyy!!!! 😮😮😮 I was waiting for the Greek letters to start
What?
I am not even done with the video and it’s making me sick thinking the same thing just a little over an hour in. I’m like when does it end???
I can't imagine how it must feel to be her parents when you're proud of her for being successful and accomplished only to later find out she's one of the worst people ever
Though she did say that it was rather suffocating living with her parents.
They still support her so they don’t care
I too, felt sympathy for her parents - as a mother myself, I feel it's natural to do so. However, this was fleeting & disappeared after watching footage of LL's background & her (imo unhealthy) relationship with her parents. I feel their relationship shows enmeshment where the boundaries are blurred or absent. The parents' refusal to see their daughter's guilt & how they have maintained she has been unfairly judged is typical as was her mother's reaction when LL was arrested when she demanded the police "Take me, I did it!"... I have yet to find a video that discusses her childhood & the relationship she with her parents in any great depth but believe there's enough evidence to show that LL was always doted on by her mum & dad, who shielded her from ever taking responsibility for her actions, all through growing up & into her adulthood. As soon as the case began to unfold, my first thought was that LL had Munchausen's by Proxy (or Factitious Disorder of another as it's now labeled) & have no doubt she is guilty!! I feel her actions & reactions make her psychopathy & narcissism clearly visible, with her reactions towards her victims' parents & complete lack of emotion demonstrating nothing but self-interest with an outstanding lack of accountability, guilt & remorse.
Everyone blames the parents, it’s not always their fault! She made the choices and isa sick, twisted, selfish narcissist!
@joannallake9809 if I were her father I'd tell her in court; "You're no daughter of mine"
Can you even imagine being those parents even til today AND not only you lost your baby, but they were murdered! AND their murderer put together all that you have left of the baby!! The memories!! The box!!! The hair!! The pics!!! They were all put together by her. She touched every bit of it!! Good lord!
As a NICU mom three times over, this case was difficult to listen to. The biggest red flag 🚩🚩 was that she returned to work after experiencing patient deaths or near deaths. Our youngest (born at 24 weeks, extremely sick and had intubation injuries) nearly died during his NICU stay. His nurse during that shift loved him very much. She absolutely broke down after they resuscitated and intubated our baby. She left telling the nurse manager and us that she would be off the next day. It was awful for everyone that worked on him.
Lucy is a terrible horrible monster of a person. Too many people ignored very concerning coincidences. Ugh this makes my stomach absolutely sick.
i hope your baby and family are doing well now ❤
Triple preemie mom here too! I can’t fathom how any nurse could do this…
Oh that is torture that you have been through this 3 times!!! Glad you got through it and hopefully all three of your babies are happy and healthy
Death is part of the healthcare field, not everyone breaks down weak because they lose a patient. It’s sad, but we all deal with things like this differently.
Okay I’m sooo confused, I’m a med tech at a senior care facility. When residents pass away NOBODY I’ve ever worked with has ever taken time off because of it, I know that bereavement is a thing but I just thought it was for more extreme situations or something? Maybe it’s different in senior care? Which would be really interesting. But I’ve never thought it was weird to come to work after experiencing residents/ patients pass, honestly the other way around.. very strange
I’d say the hospital DOES bear quite a bit of responsibility for the passing of all of those babies. Lucy was evil, yes. But after x amount of incidents related to IV’s nobody at the hospital stopped to think that maybe they need a new IV brand in addition to extra IV setup training in-house. SOMETHING
After all that didn’t work, it seems someone would start eyeballing the nurses. But not a single effort was made!
Absolutely. Lucy committed these crimes but the senior management need to be help accountable for their failure to act! We need a public inquiry. We need answers.
Many people did report Lucy but hospital admin refused to investigate. Those who reported her were punished. They even made doctors apologize to Lucy for "bullying" her.
Not only they failed to investigate her, but they actually ASSIGNED her to the other babies. The hospital is almost just as guilty for it.
Exactly.
Not surprising at all, from my experience (ex nhs nurse) when people are accused of bullying/ other issues they are only moved to another ward 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
As a NICU mom, this case makes me absolutely sick. It’s exactly why I never left my daughters bedside, stayed in the hospital with her for all 143 nights. Our nurses were overall wonderful but there were mistakes, cannot fathom anyone intentionally harming such tiny babes. She deserves to rot in jail.
And she will but she will answer for every death and attempted death she caused in the next life.
Yesssss, mistakes happen. NG tubes going into the lung and aspirating was a common one I would see during our NICU stay. Super scary and would set the baby back. Or giving a baby another moms breast milk by mistake. One nurse pricked herself with a needle after taking blood from my son, had to sign a bunch of paperwork for that one. Goodness what an exhausting 4 months that was. So glad we all made it out unscathed.
Im glad my son only stayed 2 days.
If everyone (including myself) had realized it was a tongue tie making feeding so uncomfortable that he wouldn’t do it, then he likely would have never gone to the nicu.
I wasn’t able to continue staying by his side either because my anemia was in full swing and they wanted to check me constantly and would interrupt me in the freakin nicu. And give me meds for things that didnt exist vs what did exist.
I have a hard time trusting healthcare staff or taking their word for things because they’ve gotten my diagnosis wrong or ignored the correct diagnosis from my previous doc, not listened to me when i told them symptoms…. Etc.
so my entire second birth and stay in the hospital was traumatic. Not as traumatic as the first, but definitely not a piece of cake. Well, my second actual birth was a piece of cake, no drugs for it and it was quicker and even less painful.
I didn’t worry that someone was intentionally harming him though. This woman is the devil.
I’m watching the stories why I recover from cancer and I saw your letter, so happy that you stayed by your baby the entire time, I heard of a nurse in different states doing this to elderly and other patients, I think it’s like the doctor taking advantage of the USA girls team members, I still cringe to think of the thought of someone doing something so horrible, I think Jesus always protect me and ever surgery I had , my husband stayed by my side , as we go Tuesday to check a spot on my granddaughter head in New Orleans, please remember us in your prayers and I will always send you prayers, god bless you and your loved ones . ❤️🐱😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Same! Both of my daughters were NICU babies and I lived in the NICU room with them only leaving to take a shower at honeif my partner was there or to take a quick walk and get my emotions together even though I'm a nurse it's not the same when it's your own child struggling to survive. Thankfully they are both doing amazing now at ages 15 and 7 and I am very lucky the nursing staff was amazing.
I hope your child is doing well now too!
As a mum who never got to meet her baby as the pregnancy was doomed from the beginning, people like this woman make me feel a small sense of relief my baby will never see the horror that is our world
I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss

Senior Management should be held accountable. They've covered her as well as themselves.
we should not have gotten to a Baby Q
I hope the hospital is sued into oblivion and those managers are left destitute! There is no punishment harsh enough for letting 7 babies die and even more be assaulted.
The managers should lose their pensions too
Something tells me you are from the USA
I agree, senior management should face prison time too. I hope they experience the worst pain imaginable.
Why sue the hospital, what good will that do?
@@greenpedal370Bc they literally ignored all the suspicions and then gave her a desk job instead of reporting her to police? More victims came from them not doing something sooner
Baby G’s story I find particularly devastating because she fought so hard and although she didn’t lose her life she lost the life she could have had. They are all heartbreaking cases, I pray that their families can feel a small amount of justice from the verdict although that will never repair the damage done
Thanks for the way you cover these cases Danielle, I can’t imagine how tough that would have been to research into. You tell all this stuff with the most compassion, you care about the victims and families you share about. We all love what you do 💚
I am a nurse. I reported a very abusive situation. I got accused of much worse, and a few of the staff involved grouped against me (the manager was very involved with this particular "group" of nurses). I have the conversations recorded - essentially HR said there was nothing they could do when I reported this and expressed "fear" of working under that manager, the HEAD of HR said, "there was nothing they could do." So, my only choice was to immediately quit. Fast forward 6 months later - my husband heard about the rumor at work from a coworker who was married to a nurse who was a friend of a friend of a friend who doesn't even work in healthcare anymore. Don't get me started on what has happened to me for not backing down from being a REAL patient advocate...it's always us against it...ALL of that (the politics mentioned in the video, and my experience) and more. Healthcare is NOT healthcare, it is a business to everyone in the "higher up" positions. I've worked in administration and had to quit because of how vile it is.
So, that's healthcare. Whistleblowers get CUCKED. I retired from nursing after 10 years - that was my FINAL job. All hospitals need reviews that are not linked to the government, but a third party whose only goal is to secure patient and staff unbiased advocacy. Good luck, there are too many big pockets involved...major reform needs to happen, and it's unfortunate that people will not/cannot/won't/unable to stand against it.
I can keep going. But I wont...because all I'm getting at is...I hate healthcare as it stands and this atrocity should be a BULLHORN of a wakeup call across the entire freaking world.
omg thats so f up. we live in a scary world. thank you for doing everything you could do
@@Pongi626 I always did, and I always paid the price. Our system in the U.S. doesn't actually want "good" nurses...they want bodies with quiet voices to keep the cash cows happy. It's so so sad. I cried so much so often...the job took so much out of me, and I still struggle with stepping away because I know as little as I could have...I was helping. It's so awful.
My dad works in IT security, and he told me once that a collegue of his was supposed to clean up the jumbled mess of healthcare administration. Not a week later, he was told not to bother with it, because the "higher ups" didn't want transparency in a system with so much money flowing through it.
It’s disgusting and infuriating.. but keep calling it out and sharing with people because the truth needs to be out there everywhere
Group think mentality sadly. Scapegoating. Human beings never stop perplexing me. Good job you taped the meetings. I was advised by police to carry a phone I could tape any words spoken to me by a toxic group. I thought about it. Then fenced them out of my home and paddock....life's too short. Ignore them all...
Danielle, never apologize for having to take a moment when emotions are overwhelming. You warn us that somethings will be hard to hear but never say how hard it is for you to research these same things. Not only are you researching these cases but you are putting them into a coherent narrative for us then editing your video's as well. Your mental health is very important so yes when sometimes you need to pause a moment or take more time I'm sure everyone who watches and listens understands that you need to look after yourself. Please take care of yourself both physically, emotionally and mentally.
Yup. I'd be much more concerned if she wasn't moved by it.
All of the people that purposely ignored what was going on should face criminal charges
You're comment should have way more likes. I completely agree
I totally couldn’t agree more.
Definitely
ABSOLUTELY! And there actually ARE legitimate charges they can be charged with!
Yup. I hope the families sue and that these people get dragged. These babies could have been saved.
Imagine being told you're growing up without a sibling because they were MURDERED in the NICU by a nurse.
Imagine being a child and told that a nurse tried to kill you when you where a tiny baby 😮
@@Shadylady4181both sad but knowing you could have had a twin somehow seems worse because you probably always wonder what it would have been like vs (the ones that recovered fully) knowing this was done to you but I do think it hits different depending also on their own lingering health issues.
I can’t even begin to imagine the survivor guilt these kids are going to have. This woman has caused so much damage and most of it hasn’t even played out yet. It absolutely breaks my heart.
It's something so unfathomable. To know the hospital you were born in was a death trap which you were lucky to escape whereas your twin wasn't. How could she ever trust a hospital in her life? The survivors are the biggest victims of all.
@@MsMaryPatricia it's unthinkable. I just can't fathom how any human being could do this, destroy such a miracle. How can she live with it? She should be renamed Lucyfer letby
I don't understand why drs & nurses kept leaving her alone with the babies. Especially once ppl started getting suspicious insane how blind these ppl were
Burnt out and busy and the ability for humans to try to see the best in people?
And she was standing over most of them!!
I hope her inmates give her the same treatment that she gave those innocent babies. This is a heartbreaking case
Ohhhh... Have you seen the prison she has gone too, she's living in luxury
Oh they will. She’ll likely live her life on solitary. Women’s prisons don’t really have a nonce wing. So it’ll be segregation.
I hope you're kidding.
Unfortunately there is a good chance she isn't.
Wish she was in an American state with the death penalty. I don’t say that lightly. There are very few people I would think deserve this, and she is definitely one of them.
As a nurse and mother, this woman is a monster. I hope she has an awful time in prison. She never deserves to be free again. This is so heartbreaking
Baby killers are not well received in women's prisons.
She literally preyed on the very most vulnerable people possible. "Monster" barely begins to cover it.
Lay-by trying to murder Baby F, after killing his twin & observing his parents unimaginable trauma, is one of the most cruel things I have ever heard!
the description of baby E's agony and scream and blood and death..... jeez, i had goosebumps all over my body and choked up
It's so awful to think about that little girl who'll grow up without her brother. He should've survived along with her and he would have if it wasn't for Lucy. That's so messed up.
The set of twins or the set of tripletss?
@@krystalynkersey Its awful to think about for the both of them tbh but I made that comment specifically about the twins at the beginning.
I really think it's not about the babies, I believe it was about the parents. She revealed in the pain and suffering she inflicted to the parents. She's absolutely vile in every way. From bathing the babies and making keepsake boxes for the parents and to basically stalk the parents on Facebook just goes to show how far she went to make sure the parents suffered as much as possible.
I agree. I think LL wanted to abuse the parents. And then play the compassionate empathetic nurse. Like inflict pain and then be some sort of emotional saviour later.
It’s munchausens by proxy
Yes, punishing her own suffocating controlling parents by proxy
She reminds me of people who are jealous of something someone else has. Like people who kidnap a kid after their kid dies. Wouldn't be surprised if she had a miscarriage before this and just didn't tell anyone. It just doesn't make sense to start this out of the blue
I think it could also be that she was intentionally harming the babies in order to save them. Its a metal illness often seen in medical professions. A fucked up version of a hero's complex. They make their victims worse before ultimately healing them. I dont know if she actually wanted to kill the babies or just wanted the glory or caring for them. Maybe she just wanted the synpathy and the mourning from parents to, someone to appreciate her for "all that she did".
Either way shes servely messed up and should never be allowed children again.
My mother was a NICU nurse at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore MD for many years. This case would have infuriated her so so much. She's gone now, taken to soon, so in her name I want to send all my prayers, blessings and love to all the victims of this absolute monster.

@@juliaivanitskiy269 thank you
@@AngelaRoseRyman my thoughts exactly.
Two of the doctors actually did suspect Lucy. They tried repeatedly to get an investigation going but the hospital threatened to put them before the disciplinary board because l7cy complained they were bullying and targeting her.
Make that 7. There were *seven* doctors and Consultants who raised their suspicions with the management of the hospital....it was on the second occasion they again raised their suspicions - some 15 Months after the first - did the police become involved.
I feel like Lucy being a smiling, attractive white woman sheltered her from investigation for a long time. What a deeply sick person. But she looks totally normal.
Why does it always have to be about skin color?
@@stephaniebach__12-24thank you! This has to do with people knowing their colleague and either not being able to imagine them able to do shit like this. Or not willing to risk their own reputation. But not skincolor. So sick that these days literally everything is turned into a race thing

I saw an interview with the Dr who started becoming suspicious of her, and the hospital made him actually apologize to her for his suspicions.
I watched that interview the day she was sentenced and couldn't speak when he was made to apologise to her
Whhhhattttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
I'm sure multiple staff members reported it to senior management. I think the other nurses caught on to what was going on too and reported her as well, but probably were told Lucy was not involved not to create a "fuss" as they said.
The hospital executives should be in prison for what they did. Negligent homicide at the very least.
She also said it was boring in the nursery wasn't happy just feeding the babys
3 years! 3 years, between the first murder and her apprehension. This hospital should be closed permanently. I don't care that Lucy is in custody. Senior management is so negligent that I feel like it could easily happen again, and they'll just ignore it to avoid more bad press
It's happened in many many cases
@@marynehra502 I know! And it's so infuriating 😕
Have you ever watched the movie The Good Nurse? Its good.
the staff have been trying to prove it's her, it is the senior management that needs to be im prison, I think the hospital is fine. But after this, of course, patients will think twice before going there
yeah, that one is very sad too. And so stupid people will do anything except the right thing @@Janellabelle
As a retired OB nurse, this case makes me sick. She deserves to let the parents take out their grief on her. Awful. Just awful.❤ from Oklahoma
I can sense your utter outrage for Letby and profound grief and devastation for these infants you endure by the way you put your makeup on. I feel your excruciating! Such a genuine, empathic and sincere human being. You are a blessing and a role model to humanity. Bit more blusher,I think.
My heart breaks for the parents and siblings who survived knowing their twins were murdered. I do feel bad for the doctors who were desperate for an investigation, and I believe they pleaded not to have Lucy on the ward. Entire senior management FAILED, I believe they need to serve time in jail.
I’ve seen several comments of moms saying “this is why I never left my baby…” As a first time mom myself, I was so unprepared for how exhausted and depleted I was after having a baby and, mind you, mine was full term and healthy. Granted, I had a hard pregnancy with complications and a c-section, but my daughter was not in the NICU, nor as vulnerable as these babies. Still, I had to rely on the nurses to help care for my baby at night while I slept and recovered. New parents are also so vulnerable and we place so much trust in healthcare professionals like WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO. Caring for babies is literally their job. This was not a failing on the part of ANY of these parents and I know they must have so much guilt. I’m glad some parents had the energy not to leave their children, and I absolutely do not shame their choices, but I’m sick of reading these comments inadvertently shaming the parents for simply taking short breaks to get food or to sleep when they were told their child was stable. They did NOTHING wrong by placing their trust in hospital staff while they met their basic human necessities.
I know people leaving comments like that are not thinking of how backhanded a statement like that is, but I can’t imagine being a parent having gone through this case or one similar and immediately reading “this is why I didn’t leave my baby.” Please, have some self awareness and take a second to realize how sensitive this subject is. Danielle and other creators in her genre have said families of victims and victims themselves do watch her videos, so please be aware, kind, and cognizant.
Peace and love.
look. you can say that, or not, it doesn't matter, you're not I charge of the baby in the hospital. you're a visitor of a patient. we placed 100% trust in the nurses and staff rightly, and the parents standing there looking miserable and being unable to do anything wouldn't have solved the fact this woman was a MONSTER
Right? It is absolutely ridiculous to talk about these parents "leaving" their babies. First you don't get a choice in some situations, and those tend to be nicu babies. In normal circumstances, parents are 100% in the way when their baby is being treated in an emergency situation. Sometimes you can't go into the nicu at all to see your baby, the thought which is just horrifying.
Also, what parent would have stopped a nurse that looked like they were changing or introducing something to an iv, or looked like they were taking blood for a test? Some people are nosy or curious, but most people would put trust in staff automatically because it was a hospital. My heart breaks for these families.
It's also a dumbass comment because when your baby is in the NICU, you literally have no choice but to leave his/her side! You're not allowed to stay in the NICU 24/7 with your baby. It's not your decision or choice to leave the baby's side.
So many mothers are super judgemental and crazy self-righteous nowadays. It makes me really glad that my kids are grown.
If she managed to murder babies in front of other nurses she could have done it in front of parents too. Because no one expects a NICU nurse to be trying to kill her patients.
i agree. we should be able to trust our babies' nurses, point blank period.
Omg I work in the NICU in Canada. Our nurses would’ve been investigated after the first death! Any infant death no matter how premature is sent for an autopsy, then released to the funeral home. Always an autopsy first. Then investigation by HR and all parties questioned. This hospital sounds negligent. I’m literally so mad after hearing about baby F and that they suspected her already but let her back? I’m crying I’m so mad. This is a pure evil demon. She’s not even human. She should have been dealt with by grieving parents or people that can’t have children and stoned or worse. This is so disgusting. Poor poor babies. Omg.
Same in America, we've had our issues, but NICU, there's noway this would've happened. This monster needs to burn in hell forever.
I’m in my last semester of nursing school getting ready to be a L&D nurse. This story literally makes me sick to think about. I genuinely can’t get over it
I’m not even a mother and this was really difficult for me to watch. I can’t even imagine what it was like for the parents, my heart shatters for them.
What makes me even more frustrated about this case, is when some of the babies would leave the hospital only to be TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE HOSPITAL LUCY WORKED AT 😡🤬
I can’t explain how this woman makes me feel. As a mother, I am BEYOND furious. I’m beyond devastated… she deserves the WORSE punishment that life can give. I truly am sorry to these parents & families.
How was there an entire training course on air embolisms, but not a single person at this hospital actually knew what an air embolism looked like?
Exactly...baffles the brain doesn't it!!!
That’s a really good point
There were also other deaths that were obviously very suspicious. Several babies overfed milk and injected with air. That alone was extremely suspect.
Horrible that they waited so long to really start investigating and doing tests to look deeper into what was going on.
She probably pleaded not guilty so she could relive every murder/attempted murder throughout the trial. Seriously disturbing case, and completely devastating for those babies and their families. Heartbreaking beyond belief 💔
Exactly!!
Looked up her name on google and immediately saw a bunch of articles saying she has “fans” and they are sending her Christmas letters in the mail. The thought of people feeling sorry for this woman makes me sick.
disgusting!
Vile. I was a premature baby in 83. Suffered hydrocephalus and meningitis. Partly blind and deaf on the left side due to meningitis.
@@davecalderdalelufc8173 I drank gasoline as a baby
@@davecalderdalelufc8173I was a preemie in 83, due in 84… I had something similar to meningitis but I was 4 years old, something meningococcal as a result of scratching my eye with my fingernail (bacteria), I am not permanently blind but at the time I was blind in one eye for a week, I remember wearing the pirate patch on my eye, laying on my stomach, clawing at the carpet because the pain was so bad… and doctors holding me down in the hospital to keep me still for the spinal tap, looong needle up inside my back I remember…
Sorry for the rant but I saw similarities and commented..
Anyway I hope things are going good for you
There’s a few people in the uk that just can’t believe anyone could do this. So they think she’s been wrongly convicted especially as no evidence of cctv or witnesses. I think they only feel pity as they think she’s been put away for something she didn’t do. This amount of circumstantial evidence bypasses any coincidence
Why THE FUCK were video surveillance cameras not installed in those nurseries after the first couple of attacks and attempts?!? It makes absolutely no sense, none. This whole story is just beyond heartbreaking, but when it came to the baby the she shoved a metal instrument down their throat, that’s when I just about lost it, and why was no X-ray or scan done at all? They would have noticed that right away?!?
Thank you for sharing this story, I think it’s really important that people are made aware of this kind of evil, and as always you went over the case with such compassion and grace. Thank you for that.
With all the money hospitals make, and the fact that there were babies….
the NHS is garbage. i dont know if ur in the UK like me but our hosptials are known for being negligent and atrocious care
It would be illegal in the US to put up any cameras bc of HIPPA laws that protect all patients medical history- aka it’s illegal to record inside a patients room or anywhere that medical procedures are performed or that any patient medical information or procedures are even discussed. I’m sure the UK has a similar law(s).
@@ericabamforth6528NHS hospitals don't make money, not everywhere is the USA
@@lilmorsecodyBecause they're underfunded and stretched to the limit because of bad government handling. Bad NHS care isn't ubiquitous across all hospitals.
Seriously, this attention seeking behavior has become an epidemic of its own. Lucy Letby has clearly always been the centre of attention during her childhood at home and due to her more than healthy self esteem within her circle of friends as well. But as a nurse, she was one amongst many - a worker, not a princess. So she made herself the centre of attention once again through the worst means possible.
How can you speculate on her life and you don’t know her?
@@sheilaboland6285 The exact same way people do with every other serial killer. We will never truly know why they are the way they are but we can make observations and put two and two together based in how their lives have played out. I mean, it’s better than having to think that she just did it for the sake of it.
@@sheilaboland6285WHAT?????
@@ravenID429 huh?
@LucaSitan: I see what you are saying as I have a theory Lucy envied the childhood those babies would go onto to have due to the attention babies and toddlers receive. Envy is a very dangerous emotion.
She could have retrained for a new profession the second the urge to kill became apparent to her.
Those poor babies and parents, I cant bare to even think of being in their shoes. Those who bought her to justice had a sickening job, hard not to spare thoughts for them too.
She’s got the most innocent looking face of evil I’ve ever seen…. Justice will only be served if a loving mother gets hold of her in prison 🤬
This. This. This.
I beg to differ, her thick eyelids look like folks , wicked
Ow yes!!!!!
She looks like butter wouldn't melt... I really hope one of the guards turns a blind eye one day
Amelia Dyer the British hospital trained Nurse turned 'baby farmer' who murdered several hundred babies (hanged in 1896) had a kind, motherly appearence and manner - which was how she got away with it for so long.
Her police photo had been heavily retouched to make her look harsh and evil - as they also did with the photo of Moira Hindley who I have seen in person and looked nothing like that photo.
Heart breaking watching you do the video seeing you emotionally attached to the story. Shows your a kind caring person
This is one of the worst series of events I've ever heard. I am a healthcare worker, and I can't even fathom how this could have happened, and how this went on for so long without prompt intervention from the hospital. My heart goes out to the victims of this woman's cruel actions.
25 minutes in. Cannot think of a better youtuber to cover this case than you! such a heinous, tragic unimaginable case , you are portraying with such sensitivity & feeling. with love from Manchester UK
That hospital has a lot to answer for! I could not imagine the pain and suffering these families have had to endure. My son was premature, fortunately at 31 weeks. He still spent a month in the care of nurses and Doctors. Thinking you’re in the clear and then something like that happens? Then to find out the hospital ignored the complaints? Nope I was crying listening to your thoughtful video today. So very very heartbreaking. We all need to pray for these families affected by this sick sick woman. In Jesus name, Amen 🙏🏼💕❤️
My first son was born at 30 weeks after they tried to stop my labor 4 times… thank God he didn’t have to spend a long time in the NICU, but I remember being so scared 😟. I still speak to some of the nurses that helped us and he is 18 years old now! This woman is pure evil 😣
@@loribethartist6353 🤗❤️🙏🏼
Danielle looks like she has lost hope in humanity.. the look of utter disbelief & disappointment is all over her face in the whole video😔
I mean, can you blame her? If you can sleep at night knowing that you’re murdering the most innocent and vulnerable of people then you’ve gotta be a pretty sick person and they’re really isn’t much hope for humanity anymore. Honestly, I don’t even think you’re human at that point if you commit such a heinous crime.
I lost my infant son because of nurse neglect. He passed in my arms 6hrs after birth. That has been hard enough for me to accept, as I feel she inadvertently murdered my son. I can't imagine how angry and upset these parents are. My heart goes out to them, this grief is neverending. As a former nurse, this infuriates me beyond words. Imagine being these babies main nurse?! I would blame myself forever. So many lives were destroyed by this evil, vile thing.
This broke my fucking heart I'm so sorry mama.i hope you find peace one day. No one deserves this baby. I am so so so sorry. I wish there was a way to make this better
Obviously all the deaths are Lucy Letby’s fault, but how on earth did the nurse in charge of Baby C not put 2 and 2 together when she was in the room with Lucy who was literally standing over the baby both times he or she went into cardiac arrest??!
Probably too busy trying to be her friend than be professional
Also normal people just can’t comprehend that a friend and “nice” college would intentionally murder little babies
Could easily have thought Lucy was over the baby BECAUSE there was something wrong… not that she caused there to be something wrong to begin with
Paediatric nurse here, I don't think the first thing in your head is to think the nurse who's trained specifically to look after sick children, along with the stress of the job, would deliberate try and harm a child. My thought would most likely be that they are there to help as that's what nurses are supposed to do!! I'm sure it's also easy to be brainwashed by someone who fakes being a caring nurturing nurse
@@siinnead absolutely, I think the nurses that worked along side her probably feel enough guilt without it being piled on. They just thought everyone else was doing their job like they were, it’s easy to say in hindsight knowing what we know now.
Omg, this case is far worse than I expected it to be. She’s a monster. I can’t believe how long she got away with it.
This has to be the most baffling story I've ever heard , I'm constantly shocked at how evil this woman is and at how the hospital allowed this to happen
It’s even crazier when you realize this could’ve stopped if the hospital management team did what they’re suppose to do. Smh
Those people should be the fuck on trial for criminal negligence and manslaughter.
It’s horrid that the doctors who kept saying something wasn’t right with Lucy were forced to write apology notes for bullying her and complaining. They were basically silenced and threatened with being sacked, hospital needs to be investigated honestly for negligence
Yeah, instead they coddled a murderer and forced other people to do the same.
Unfortunately, they did exactly what they were created to do, protect the hospital. They aren't there to protect the patients. Just like HR is there to protect a company from potential lawsuits, not to advocate for the employees.
I was born just before 29 weeks, i weighed 3 pound 4 ounces. I have a cleft lip and palate and had so many other complications. It’s crazy to think that if one of the nurses who cared for me during my 6 months in the hospital where like Lucy they could have so easily hurt/killed me. Thank god for all the loving, caring, life saving nurses who cared for me and all the other premature babies!
the way Danielle says " babies" like how her face softens and with her accent just makes the details of this case 1000 times more acrid and unsettling. she says these horrid things in such a human tone and it really brings to life the horror and things beyond human comprehension....speak their names... protect the young. thank you Danielle for having the voice and the stomach and determination
"I will never have children, I'm not good enough" This statement of Lucy's sticks out to me as a possible motive.
I've not heard of this case before, but anything involving infants is just horrific!!! How we live amongst murderous humans is scary!
Get prepared. It is horrifying.
@@jillruben8924 I had to take a break a couple of times while watching and I wasn’t even an hour in. That’s how effed this case was
same. not sure if it was Danielle or the content but it is so truly unsettling, our natural wiring is set to PROTECT the young. heal the sick, aid the weak. nature is harsh but not nearly as cruel as human beings
danielle is soo human and so protective and so that gives so much more to these cases than a textbook or news cast
I can't even freaking imagine because I had my daughter at 24 weeks weighing 1lb 2oz and 9 inches and I've never heard of this case and I'm literally sick to my stomach 🤮and my daughter was in the nicu for almost 5 months and she wasn't supposed to make it. Thank Goda she was at the best hospital with the most amazing nurses. My daughter is 17 now and a senior this year. My daughter is truly a miracle ❤️. How and why just why would she do this? I'm so heartbroken for these parents 😢. And how could they not think it was her doing this? I'm having a hard time watching this and I can usually get through anything but this hits so close to home 😢
One of my twin babies died in the NICU. His nurses were amazing and I've remained in contact with them for over 7 years now. Most of them quit after that and went to different programs because it was so traumatic for them. If I ever found out anything they did contributed...I don't know what I'd do. Those poor parents. I wish I could hug them and take away at least some of their pain.
Edited to add: I just have to add, as a NICU parent, this horrible horrible woman knew that baby E would look like he died from NEC if he was vomiting blood. That plus sepsis and an immune condition is what killed my son. Most likely that's why she put air in one of the babies stomachs as well. On imaging that would also look like NEC. A NICU nurse would know all about NEC, how quickly, and how brutally it kills babies. That's so sickening. We were very much encouraged to have an autopsy done by the doctor on duty when our baby died. And I'm glad we did it because it gave us a lot of answers and I would have always wondered.
Former NICU mom here to a micro-preemie and yes you are exactly correct… that is the first thing that I thought of was NEC (she knew exactly what she was doing).
The alphabet just kept going💔 How absolutely devastating for those poor parents, my heart shatters for them and I desperately wish they found a glimpse of hope and justice with the sentencing
Literally... I was flabbergasted when I was just half way through and were already at letter E
There is a case like this going on in Pennsylvania right now. A nurse in a rehab/nursing home killed several people by injecting them with insulin and air. People are so awful.
What's the name of the case?
I’m listening with tears in my eyes. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that someone is capable of doing that to a baby. Horrific. Sickening.
yes heartbreaking 😭
I have had 2 babies in NICU. Horrible experiences both times with negligence. My heart goes out to the parents and those poor tiny souls. Just unspeakable.
I’m from USA and I swear we haven’t seen any media coverage on this. Thank you for covering cases like this for those of us stuck in the US 😅 this was heartbreaking to hear. I can only imagine how hard it was to cover a story like this. Thank you for all that you do 💛
That’s insane you haven’t had any coverage!
Yes there has been I heard it on the radio and it’s definitely been on the news
I'm in the US, & I definitely heard about this case.
@@leandralendway934I was going to say - I can’t imagine you wouldn’t have! It’s insane isn’t it ☹️
oddly enough, i’m european and i’ve never heard of this case before either
40 minutes in, and it's absolutely ridiculous that the hospital didn't suspect anything that the same thing kept happening again and again when the SAME nurse was on the shift? The hospital should have been investigated and fined as well for their negligence.
First off, I’m pissed the hospital didn’t figure this out MUCH sooner. Most deaths would’ve been easily prevented!! Isn’t there cameras???? Who’s watching them????
I broke when I heard that the baby was screaming with blood coming out. I broke more hearing parents held their baby until their baby’s last breath.. as a mother of 4 children (youngest is 6 months) I can’t imagine!! All of those babies were so innocent. Fighting to live. This is sickening!
if i remember correctly, there were doctors who said to the higher people in the hospital that they were concerned about letby, but they were quickly dismissed as they were believed to be making a fuss out of nothing
Not figuring it out much sooner as well as sending babies away to get better and then to keep bringing them back. If they are obviously improving elsewhere why the F*CK would you bring them back..
As a paediatric student nurse, camera's in a paediatric ward would go against the privacy and dignity of the patient. However, the lack of speaking up from everyone who was suspicious of Lucy was what really concerned me. I can't imagine what the parents were feeling from losing their children. Sickening stuff from a paediatric nurse!!!
The baby screaming broke me too. That was just devastating. It’s all devastating. Cases like these have always been awful to hear but since I became a parent it’s almost impossible. I think you just know exactly what you have to lose at that point and even imagining going through something like that is so painful that the idea other parents have had to experience it … absolute nightmare. And it’s so so scary that someone could do this to little babies on purpose. Not that cases about adults are better in any way, but there’s just something extra sick and twisted about people who do this to babies and children. They’ve done absolutely nothing in their little lives. Completely innocent and helpless.
It would be illegal in the US to put up any cameras bc of HIPPA laws that protect all patients medical history/information- aka it’s illegal to record inside a patients room or anywhere that medical procedures are performed or that any patient medical information or procedures are even discussed. I’m sure the UK has a similar law(s).
Hopefully she will get prison justice. She is PURE EVIL and deserves the EXACT OR WORSE treatment she gave those innocent defenseless babies! As a diabetic mommy of twins that were our miracles after 10 YEARS of fertility issues and heartache, I cannot even imagine what these poor parents went through after finally giving birth…..😔
I’ve never cried during any of the true crime things I’ve watched but seeing Danielle break down about baby I made ME tear up. This case is so horrifying. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of it until now. What a monster.
Management should be held accountable for the murders as well. Throw them all in prison.
This case is sickening. She deserves her whole life tariff!

She’s great
Listening to this case was hard, don’t think I’ve ever felt so much hate towards someone. My daughter had to stay in NICU for 3 days after she was born, I was so lucky to get such kind people to look after her. They were amazing, I got them a thank you card with my daughters footprint on it when we left. My heart breaks for those parents and babies 💔
As a Nicu mom of 3 micro-premies babies this case makes me so upset, so frustrated. When I saw this case the first time I had my last baby in NICU just new born in a hospital that I have to fight day and night with nurses and doctors. Couldn’t transport her to our local facility because she was entubated. She was in Nicu for 138 days. So this case roll in my head day and night the whole time she was in that other hospital. When moved to our local NICU, I had peace of mind since we know the nurses from previous babies. In fact we have a dear nurse to us that took care of my 3 kids. So in a little more positive note, they still are amazing NICU NURSES, dedicated to this babies.
Ok, every case you cover leaves me saying aloud, “ok Danielle, that was the worst one.” But THIS… for real. Thank you for always being so sensitive, poignant, and classy about the way you cover these atrocities.
After Harold Shipman and Beverly Allitt, you’d think the British government would have had more protective measures to avoid anything like this from happening again. This is so chilling that it’s so similar to that of Allitt in the 90’s and that many staff members didn’t react! Thank you for covering this case, Danielle ❤
The government ain't the solution pal, it's the problem.
It seems most of the “nurse killer” cases there were warning signs way before they are stopped. Thank you for telling this it’s so much compassion. Much love to the families ❤️🙏
Danielle, you are the perfect person to deliver this story with such care & compassion.
I have actually never heard of this case before! thanks Danielle for informing us in a non hurtful and informational way!
This case is infuriating. By baby C it’s clear she’s guilty and no one investigated. The rest of the people at that hospital are just as guilty.
Yup they should be held accountable.
I came here to say that. Just, HOW did no one notice? Or if so, why were they hushed??? Also, a reasonable person would change departments in lieu of trauma. Just Saying!
Doctors tried to bring it up to admin but got in trouble and had to apologize to her 🙄 admin is as responsible as Lucy imo
@@Maple.leaves one doctor brought it up to the Director and they dismissed it right after baby and any of them could have called police, also baby D had to be put in nursery one because of the hospitals mistake. Such a shame that people trusted this place.
@@hk316pea it’s a shame doctors didn’t go to police, as far as I’ve read multiple raised concerns about her. I wonder if the doctors going to police would be breaking confidentiality so they’d have to go through official channels at the hospital to have the cases sent off to police. Absolutely sickening that the hospital would rather cover its own ass (and Lucy’s) instead of protecting patients. It was clearly so suspicious
You told this dreadful, complex story with such clarity and true compassion. Deepest sympathies to all the parents and extended families, pray lessons have been learned so hopefully this can never happen again. Those sweet babes had you to tell their story, so they will never be forgotten... many thanks.

My nephew was born at 25 weeks and weighed 1lb 13oz. The NICU staff were amazing and he’s now a 4 year old about to start Primary School. He’s as bright as a button and utterly adorable! Thankfully, Lucy Letby is an anomaly in the nursing profession.
There's been a few very horrible nurses, Charles Cullin comes to mind, but there's been a few. You're right though. It's not that common.
