She’s going to get out of prison at age 30. With no therapy for her trauma, no career, nothing past a kindergarten education, and nowhere to go. 10 years in prison instead of a facility to help her, is insane, and unfair.
@@Janellabelle True. In America, only the military and prison system is socialist and provides healthcare and education. I don't hold it against them. More power to them. Now we need the rest of America to catch up. If its good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
i see her murdering her mother as a self defence honestly. she literally did it so she could escape being abused and held captive. AND she was drugged my her mother while the murder was happening. the mother is the ONLY one to blame for this
Just saw a similar case to this and she went too far and killed her 5 year old but it wasn't for like a year till anyone figured out what was going on. So I guess gypsy was just supposed to spend the rest of jer life being abused and tortured till she ended up dead ( tried to run away once and mommie dearest found her)
I think her sentence was too much, and not in the right place. She needs mental HELP because her development was denied her whole life. She needs HELP, not prison. The boy deserves help too.
@@senalikarunatilake5210 her mother gave her all these meds and for no reason the mother was the one who was poisoning her own daughter the mom even killed her own mother.
@Senali Karunathilake well, she was drugged and put up with the wrong medicine all her life, and was treated way younger then she was, basically for clout, so she didn’t deserve it, her mother did..
Senali Karunathilake you’re a dumbfuck it was in self defense if u read about the case you would know that she had tried to escape before and was tied to a bed and beaten for two weeks. she had never been educated past kindergarten and Disney movies neither of would teach anyone what self defense is and the legality of it so in her warped sense of reality killing the evil person and running away to a far away place is what she had been taught and once again you’re dumbfuck
In my opinion, a victim of kidnap wouldn't be held accountable for killing or harming their captor during an escape so neither should this girl. She was her mothers hostage and it sucks that her mother will never have to answer for her crimes against her own child.
She was a hostage, but obviously not completely all there. Neither was Nick, he has no excuse. He straight up murdered the mom because he was told to do so. Both are to blame, yes it was a “hostage” situation, but what both of them did is still very much illegal. They planned the death of a women, a terrible nasty one, and then proceeded with it. They shouldn’t be set free, but she should receive help to rehabilitate her
+Daniel Santos; you want to blame a girl who was screwed up by the tormenter she eventually had killed. That daughter was not safe for much longer and society had failed her. She had no incentive to follow an ethical code towards people who were unethical to her. If she gets treated like an animal in prison then it would be fair game for her to act like an animal in retaliation towards those abusers. It's shameful that another human as you would denigrate this poor fellow earthling for her desperate choice. Plus the conditions are not the same now. She can finally speak her mind to others and not be so estranged as to see no other choice but to murder a censoring captor who administers poison regularly and was even liable to murder that daughter in time to hide the truth and escape justice. Gypsy is a hero as much as a military veteran. One less terrorist in our midst thanks to her and Nick.
I think 10 years in prison is the wrong sentence, ESPECIALLY if it doesn't include any treatment for everything she's been through. Because that's what she needs, not to just sit there in prison.
How could nobody see it was puberty and raging harmones the reason Gypsy had Deedee killed. Her 1st time was in a theatre men's bathroom. After the murder they went to a hotel and asked Nick to rape her. She didn't snap from the lie she was a part of. She became a woman. Let's keep it real now. She's not that little girl that jumped in that pile of snow. We all saw Gypsy's act when DT told her your mother is dead. That was an Oscar worthy performance.
@Molly Exactly, I believe that the sentence is to harsh. Her mother basically robbed her life from her, 23 years of it. He isnt thinking about all the procedures and medications that her mother made her endure. That had to be a living hell. I cant even imagine having a feeding tube forced on me and surgery's. That mother stole her entire childhood. I am not saying she gets off free, but a manslaughter charge would of been more appropriate. Plus the fact Tony Micel says it was raging hormones that made her kill her mother is ridiculous. She wasnt a 15 year old boy she was 23 years old. More like she was mentally, physically abused and that is what made her do it.
It's interesting how Dee Dee allowed her to watch Tangled, which is about a girl trapped and gaslit by an abusive mother. I feel like watching that for the first time would've been momentous experience for her.
Maybe that was the movie that gave her the idea, or at least started the thought of escaping circling in her head.. It’s so unfair and unfortunate that Deedee found her when she did try to escape so she felt like she had to go through with this whole mess, everyone took an L with this one :(
I wouldn’t even put Gypsy in a psych ward...they don’t exactly treat them like people either. It’d probably be just as much torture in a psych ward as it was in Dee Dee’s house.
Not saying she should be in prison either. I think she should be in a place to help her get better and help her with things for her future on the outside.
except that 2 to 3 years of therapy would absolutely NOT be enough to even make her understand some of the traumas she went through. I feel like people underestimate how traumatizing some situations are (especially when people are saying that she should be fully accountable for this murder. This was honestly a situation of life or death in her eyes, I'm almost sure of it)
the mom deserve what happened to her, she drugged heavily her daughter with dangerous medications, she deprived her of education and from a normal childhood, even from her dad. I'm very astonished that the mother was not seen as a Munchausen by proxy case because she has all the red flags also the child was not sick at all, the feeding tube is often a sign of abuse when it is the mom that ask it.
Exactly! Even Gypsys dad said Dee Dee was making claims about their daughter as young as a few months old. So sad that Gypsy didnt get to lead a normal life.
Bubblegumgirl1996 something about her tube site being healed!! Basically the hole she had in her stomach from the feeding tube was closed up and healed.
all I keep thinking about is how she said “some neighbors saw her jumping on a trampoline” ???? Like did NO ONE question the fact that she had a TRAMPOLINE TO BEGIN WITH???
In Gypsy's mind, I think it was "She's either gonna kill me or I'll kill her." I honestly feel like she felt it was her only way out. I'm not in any way saying it was right. I'm saying that I get it. I'm hoping she'll get real help.
I think she might have ended up dead if she didn't get away from Dee Dee. How about Cancer treatments for someone who doesn't have cancer? Feeding tube for no reason? Hundreds of medications? Yea...it was Dee Dee or Gypsy
@@ttrublu79 I think the only reason Dee Dee didn't kill her already is that she'd lose her narcissistic supply and the source of all her attention, money, and the like. Evil, Evil woman
I’m so torn on this whole thing. Nobody should be butchered to death but no “mother” should be allowed to get away with 1/10 of what that horrible deedee did. I really really feel like some actual therapy would have been a better choice than 10 years in prison. I know at least at one time Dr. Phil was in support of a reduced sentence for Gypsy, although in his podcast he seemed to put way more blame on Godejohn, and I’m not sure if he ever mentioned his autism or not. It’s a horrible story any which way you look, and the fact that deedee’s own siblings didn’t want her ashes? She must have been an evil piece of work from day one.
I don’t think she should be in prison. I think she should be in a mental hospital to help her integrate into society better after she gets out, not prison. At least at first. Help her rehabilitate.
Yes, Dee Dee physically and mentally abused her. I find it ridiculous she went to jail because it was basically self defence. Although I do find the Facebook messages a bit disturbing.
She was also very manipulative, she did have the mentality to plan and look.for someone to do the killing for her. Like they say NOT EVERYTHING IS LIKE.IT SEEMS
What her mum did was already a life sentence herself she should be in a mental hospital and rehab getting help and an education not sitting in a jail wasting away her life
i just don’t understand how a rapist can get a minimum of 1 year in prison and this young ABUSED girl gets 10 years. how does that make sense? in my eyes she acted on self defense.
InfusedSediment Because her whole life Gypsy has been abused and obviously has trauma and is mental ill. Gypsy doesn’t deserve to be thrown in prison, she need to get the mental help she deserves.
@InfusedSediment she doesn't need prison though. she needs therapy, prison won't help her at all because it's not even a punishment for her. she said she enjoys her time in prison a lot more than the time she spent at home, so i really don't get why they decided to lock her up. yes, she planned a murder but it was basically an act of self defence. only therapy can help her
@InfusedSediment well yeah just saying that by itself obviously makes her seem 100% guilty but she was tortured for 23 years. personally i can't blame her. what else could she have done? just let her mother treat her like a toy for the rest of her life? murder probably wasn't the best thing to do but her mother definitely needed to be punished somehow. she didn't just plan the murder of her mother, she planned the murder of a crazy, evil, abusive liar.
@InfusedSediment she never said anything that she knew her mother didn't like because she knew she'd be punished if she did. idk if it's true but i saw another comment that said one of the doctors guessed that dee dee had munchausen syndrome by proxy but nobody believed them.
I think she already served her time being tortured for 23 years by that monster. Where's the accountability for all the medical professionals that let her down
@@Stephaniacat stop speculating with out proof or authority. This man was manipulated and in love. He would do anything for her and she knew that. she used him! Look at what she posted on their facebook page. Thats disgusting. she isnt as innocent as you think.
Elizabeth Gregory she deserves a loving family not a psycho mom. She deserves help. Not jail at all. She doesnt deserve jail, even if she said to kill her mom. Her mom was psycho.
10 years is the minimum for second degree murder. and that's what it was. her mom was murdered. i dont give a shit what she did, she did not deserve to die like that. no one deserves that really.
That tangled comparison is just even more spot on when you think about how Dee Dee would shave Gypsy’s hair to make her appear weak and as if she’d gone through chemo and when Rapunzel’s hair would get cut then she’d lose the magic or strength of her hair.
@Blair Bart much doubt. Also, if you're not lying for some really obscure clout.. If anyone manipulated you it was her mother vicariously through Gypsy.
what baffles me is this girl who has been mentally, physically, and emotionally abused her WHOLE life gets 10 years for having to do something with killing a horrible evil human but pedophiles that are millionaires get 10 months this system is so corrupt
Right!? Or Casey Anthony, it was so obvious she killed that poor little girl. No doubt about it and the only thing she is charged with is 4 years for lying to police??? Like are you kidding me.
If ANYONE deserves to get off on a "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea, it's this poor woman! I don't know how a jury could see fit to lock this young woman up for a decade when she clearly snapped after a LIFETIME of being abused and poisoned in order to fund her mother's scams. Gypsy should have been sent to a psychiatric hospital to help her cope with her abusive past and learn to live a normal life. She clearly isn't a danger to the general public and it's outrageous that she's locked up alongside hardened criminals.
Gypsy was raised thinking no one would help her, she grew up on Disney where the hero kills the villains for the Princess. She should have gotten the mental help she needed. The drugs, even without the mental and physical abuse would make her detached from reality. That poor girl. Deedee should have had to stand trial. Its a shame she chose murder to escape. This is such a difficult case.
I didn't even think about the movie thing, but that's actually a good point. She had hardly any education besides the children's programs she would watch on TV. She didn't have much in the way of learning a more complicated morality system beyond this. In many of those programs, the prince saves the girl. She convinced Nick to be her hero in shining armor and it's really sad that both of their lives end up being wasted due to lack of leniency.
Agree 100% that one of the great tragedies of this case is that Dee Dee never had the chance to be tried & convicted (hopefully very harshly, IMO) for the literal lifetime of abuse & torture to which she subjected her helpless daughter. Her death prevented gypsy from ever truly receiving the justice she so badly deserved. Also, I agree about the Disney-fication of Gypsy's worldview. She was raised to sincerely believe in an ostensible world in which the hero always rescues the captive princess-in-distress and then ultimately triumphs over the villain, whereupon the two of them live happily ever after in an ideal romantic fantasy: the end, roll credits. This relentlessly imposed worldview most likely left her without either a rational, functional moral compass or the capacity to conceptualize any real-world consequences of her actions. I think her entire life with Dee Dee can be summed up by the psychological concept of "learned helplessness." The whole thing is immeasurably unjust & tragic in so many ways, on so many levels.
People who said “why didn’t you just leave” forget or don’t know she did leave but her mother tracked her down & brought her back & things got worse for her
she saw it as no other option.. she was abused and paralyzed so not like she could escape, or if she did, the mother would've found her and abuse her even more. and her mom told police not to believe a word gypsy says
Legally for an action to be “self defense” it has to occur immediately to prevent another violent crime or to prevent personal harm. You have to be in immediate danger.
How did Nick (Gypsy’s boyfriend) end up getting sentenced to life in prison?! 😱🙊 Gypsy should have been given therapy instead of ten years in prison and Nick should definitely have not gotten such a harsh sentence due to his autism. Justice wasn’t served in this case. smh.
As an autistic person, I’m on the fence about Nick serving life. This is technically a 1st degree premeditated murder, but the circumstances are crazy and you can definitely feel sympathy for Gypsy. I 100% agree Gypsy shouldn’t’ve served, but I feel that Nick should still have to serve but have the possibility of parole. Autism should not be considered an excuse for situations such as murder.
@@NuevoExistence I do agree with you. Those lower on the autism spectrum can distinguish right from wrong, but those with more severe autism struggle to perform basic tasks and are unable to understand abstract concepts such as what behaviors are socially acceptable. I am not sure where Nick falls on the autistic spectrum. But the point I was trying to make in my initial comment is that instead of giving Nick a life sentence, the justice system should do more to help reform inmates with mental health issues rather than simply condemning them to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Especially for offenders committing crimes prior to when the rational portion of their brain has fully developed.
@@NuevoExistence You’re welcome. I currently live in the States but I have lived in Europe and Southeast Asia as well. Hopefully in the future more will be done universally to assist those with untreated (or under treated) mental illness as well as addiction (in all its guises). It is more cost effective and betters society as a whole... instead of merely putting everyone that commits a crime in jail or prison. Of course there are some people that are incapable of reformation and incarceration is the only solution for that subset of the population. Thank you for your comments and for allowing me to clarify my initial statement. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. Take care.
I mean I think Dee dee being 24 and gypsys father being 17 isn't just a "little bit older", that is pretty disturbing a 17 year old having a child with a 24 year old is creepy.
It’s worth noting that in EVERY picture Dee Dee had at least one hand on Gypsy. The hand holding and the tight hugs were a means of control As for the treatment, she never got chemotherapy. Dee Dee shaved her head and told everyone it was due to cancer Since nobody is saying it I’ll say it now. Gypsy got a wish from Make A Wish. Do the people at Make A Wish question the veracity of what the parents claim their children have?
Miss Moxie as a childhood cancer survivor, im pretty sure the make a wish foundation needs paperwork from the hospital to confirm the diagnosis, but i could be wrong.
Deedee was careful to change doctors every time one got suspicious. Plus all of the meds she was taking gave her side effects that would mimic symptoms of other diseases. The doctors were conned as well
I still don't understand the leukemia thing either. The other diseases I see how dee dee made it seem she had them but no doctor saw that she never had chemo and didn't do blood tests? I didn't get that one either.
Like imagine a child is kidnapped, abused for years and then kills the kidnapper in order to escape... that would be seen as self defense so this case shouldn't be treated any differently in court. It's even worse coz the abuser was her MOTHER. Evil
It isn’t mentioned here but Gypsy DID run away once and her mom tracked her down & I believe handcuffed her to the bed. There was also at least one (maybe multiple, I don’t recall) wellness checks made by the police looking into Gypsy being abused & Deedee charmed them away. So it wasn’t “she jumped straight to murder,” Gypsy did try to leave and get away and it was made worse for her after every attempt
Did you guys know Gypsy is now engaged? She met a wonderful man through a pen pal system. He reached out to her with words of encouragement after learning about her story, they became friends and are engaged and planning to get married upon her release (which due to parol could either be in 2024 or 2026)
I feel for Nick, I truly think he saw it as rescuing Gypsy and should be in a mental health facility and not jail. As many of the comments have already pointed out, Gypsy would have probably died at an early age had she not escaped from her Mom. I did not realize Gypsy only had a kindergarten education at best. That’s a crime in itself.
I JUST heard this so I don't have much of a basis to back these claims but supposedly those close to the case feel like he completely manipulated her and wanted to rape her mother prior to killing her. I'm interested to know if anyone who's really familiar with the case knows anything about this as I only know the basics......??? If it's true that speaks volumes about his intentions being much darker than an attempt to save Gypsy.
@@kristalefler3312 that’s what the reenactment insinuated on Hulu bc he couldn’t get it up when he went to have sex with Gypsy but they never make it clear if he did or didn’t. I don’t know I feel like he would have ended up killin Gypsy bc he has no control.
@@Pumpkinhead1993 it is. He actually wanted to rape Dee Dee before he killed her but gypsy wouldn’t let him. She offered herself to him so he raped her instead.
Yeah I feel for him he would have done anything for her and he did. He assumed they would be together for life not realizing she needed him to get her out and he did now he is suffering horribly.
Imagine being so detestable, your own family would rather flush your ashes down the toilet than own them. Even some of the worst serial killers in history had relatives who still loved them in spite of what they did. I'm honestly stunned.
How sad is it that jail is an improvement for her, and has offered her more support and education than she ever got growing up? I hope she gets a pardon. She was abused, drugged, and manipulated, and it looks like she really had no way out. What her mother did to her was criminal.
The problem with Casey Anthony was that the state made the wrong charges and therefore could not prove them. I fully blame the states attorney for her getting off. How can you prove 1st degree murder in a case where you can not prove how someone died. And when there is ANY doubt, the jury is required by law to find a person not guilty. The state should have changed Anthony with, disposing of the childs body and possibly neglect that resulted in death. But they over reached due to public opinion and outrage. Had they charged her with what they could prove, she would still be in prison today. Where she belongs. After throwing her baby away like so much trash.
Dude she was drugged and tortured, she shouldn't have been sentenced like that. 10 years is way too much for these extreme extreme circumstances. I think a few years then probation would have been enough
Please don't assume that because someone is in a wheelchair they automatically don't have function in their legs or can't walk, that's rather ignorant. People can be in a chair for many different reasons. She very much could be faking sure but that's still not a nice thing to assume.
@@meevins Hella .....point is there was NO reason for Gypsy to have a wheelchair....It is really a disrespectful and conniving thing to do...Had she been smart ...I mean she had her evil by many admission crazy murdered....Had She had one more chance ,She would have done one thing to keep up the charade ...She would have taken the power chair with Her...Still pretending to be unable to walk..... getting jailhouse sympathy and probably would have gotten away with murder....But one thing I do know...She is responsible for Her Mom being murdered....Nick being imstutionalized in prison.....This dumb chick will someday pass away too......And she is gonna roll right by those Pearly Gates.....Yes....She is gonna walk straight into Hell....Without Eating Cinderella's Castle's 'ROYAL MASHED POTATOES!"
I do believe the stennis was too hard I do believe she did a lot of mental health and education that we could have provided for her. Instead of locking her up in a cell. A delete do believe want you've taken someone's life that you should be punished but she was punished enough and she could have went to a halfway house she could have got a lot of mental health and education so she could change her life around to help others that are Going through this to teach them that they can speak out that they have a voice.
Her mother already put her through an 23 year sentence…. Time served. Her boyfriend was railroaded and it bothers me that either of them are being punished like they are.
There was actually a few doctors who were going against DeeDee.. So many were doing investigations against the whole situation. That’s why they would go out of state. DeeDee was very smart and knew how to cheat the system.
Child services even came to the Blanchard home and Dee Dee manipulated that too. Poor Gypsy had so many people that could of helped and didn’t. Killing her mom truly was the only way out, she shouldn’t be in jail
DeeDee got away with us because the people around her, believed the best of her due to their situation and she exploited that and her daughter to her advantage. My heart breaks for her. Reminds me of another case you did for 5y.o. Derrick. When his killer was a 13 y.r. dealing with trauma and mental health issues.. these kids were left in the care of monsters and in turn became monsters.. 💔
@@cyngIamTurtle Very very true! and not the only case! Its Horryfing how so many Institutions these people passed by and into, and Doctors COULD HAVE identified and cared about Gypsy. but instead choose to do nothing, and believed the ”Official story”. I am sure though the few who noticed something wrong, after all the History that the Psycho mother had made about Gypsy being sick and all, nobody had suspected any different. This is another case of, look how FAR a Psychopath can go if it is not stopped. Psychopaths should not have children.... this girl is not guilty of anything and she was arleady IN Prison sfor so many years and endured things NO child should be made to endure!!! There ar emany Questions... there should be investigated also the Authorothies. I saw a Documentary and interview with Dee Dees parents who stated even as a child she was into occult, manipulation but managed to fool many people. There should be a Law against these types of people to not allow them to breed, or take care of children or relationships because all they intend is to destroy. This b*** excuse my language, is everything OPPOSE a Mother should be..... Gypsy is a very, very brave girl. few would have lasted as much as she did with everything she has been through x God Bless her and I hope she has the best. The same story and similar stories have Children who come from NPD Narcisism parents and Cluster Bs. they should be tested before having children. Congrats to Gypsy
I completely agree with you! 10 years in prison is way too much of a punishment for Gypsy. She was already in prison, or more like hell on earth, for 23 years of her life. It's unfathomable what she went thru & how she fell thru all those cracks, so nobody can truly say what they'd do if they were in her shoes. She def deserves the help now that she didn't receive from ANYONE for 23 years!
While I recognize this is an incredibly complex case, I truly believe 10 years is too much for this girl. She is not a threat to society. This prison sentence is not going to do anything for her.
Oh yes she is! She extremely manipulative. Watch the 12 hours interrogation video and you’ll change your mind about her. She blamed Nick the whole time for the murderer. I even suspect she just used him for that. She’s as bad as her mother.
@@dressarezende11 he literally manipulated her that was her only chance of freedom, and there would have been no way for her to know the wiser. And just as bad as her mother? What a joke.
TOTALLY not a beauty guru the problem was because she planned it.... if she had just killed her and called the police I think the situation would’ve been different... although I really think she DOESNT deserve to be in jail poor girl
Ivy Bravestep her “mother” held her against her will and drugged her daily.. Gypsy was a literal hostage. So ya, she was in the process of getting attacked, on the daily.
It is cause munchausen by proxy is literally a life or death situation cause eventually when theres no more sicknesses to take advantage of the last thing to get attention is and has always been death. There was a case of a kid who was killed in a hospital by his mother and his mother had munchausen by proxy. It should always be seen as self defence if the kid ends up killing the person subjecting them to it cause it is a form of abuse
Have two feeding tubes (one into my stomach, one into my intestines) and they are torturous. Placing a tube into the intestines is an extremely hard surgery, and placing one into the stomach isn’t near as difficult but is extremely painful. Feeding tubes are usually held in by a balloon which can be inflated and deflated from the outside. For a stomach tube, they deflate it pull the old tube out, put the new one in, inflate the balloon and send you on your way. This is done every 4-6 months. They usually leak quite a bit and your stomach acid eats your skin. An intestinal tube is much more extensive and difficult to change. Usually done under live x-ray and the doctor uses a guide wire to get the tube down to into the intestines and to lay correctly. Tubes suck. I can’t imagine having to deal with them and all the pain and trouble they cause when you don’t need them and know you don’t.
I have GJ tube too, the surgery was extremely rough!!! I have a serious stomach disease and it took me years to get doctors to take me seriously about getting one, so I don’t understand why she had that surgery with no proof of actually needing one. Whoever gave her all those medications and surgery need to get fired. A feeding surgery is a serious surgery
my husband has epilepsy and the medication he has tried as all effected him mentally. some of them have even made him not trust his feelings. so I'm not surprised this young girl didn't say anything. she probably didn't know if her feelings were even true.
How sad. Maybe she’ll get out early for good behavior. She definitely needs some treatment. Glad her Dad is there for her. I also feel sorry for the boy and hope he has a good outcome.
So if a hostage, say like a Nazi concentration Camp inmate, is able to kill their jailor and escape, they should be sent to prison?I can’t believe she was punished at all!
@@Maddy.Gaia. I get it but all that medications, drugs that her mother was giving her would at some point kill her, you heard how she said that Gypsy wasn't going to grow old so Dee Dee was going to be a murderer in some way
I see it as self defense. She totally was taken hostage. If someone had a child and kept them in a cage and the child got out and killed had parent it would be self defense. That's how I see this
hailey baker - sorry this is kinda late since i recently stumbled upon this video- but self defense is only reasonable when the person is in immediate threat in that moment in time. if she didn't have a knife to her throat or gun to her head it wasn't self defense, and especially not if she sent someone to do the dirty work for her. nonetheless, her sick mother is beyond evil. that word holds no power to all the actions she's done to the people around her.
Eleri Bowen I agree except she was still involved in a homicide and concealed it. I think if she had called the police immediately and acted like she acted out of self defense (which she did) she would have gotten a lighter sentence. This happens a lot and even though it makes sense why they did it, it's still against the law.
@@kachiggakween agreed! She’s not going to start attacking random people on the street, I think psychologically if any of us had lived our lives like gypsy we may have reacted the same. If a child had been kidnapped held prisoner since early childhood & one day murdered their abuser and escaped they wouldn’t be arrested, as you say they would need, get, years of therapy to come to terms with what they’d suffered. Because Dee Dee was her biological mother it’s different? I honestly can’t understand why?
@@zarabee2880 -Please re-write this in the main comments. I’d also add that she won’t receive the psychological treatment she so desperately needs while she just sits in a different kind of prison. I’d write it, but I don’t want to steal your words. I feel like your comment encapsulates everything about this story. It’s just so tragic for Nick too . . . He didn’t have the mental comprehension to get Gypsy away from her mother without resorting to murder, and neither did she. Meanwhile, Casey Anthony went free after causing the death of her 3yr old, whom she lied about for 31 days. Sometimes I just don’t understand how our justice system works. Thank you🔆 Lisa
@@justwhatilike...234 my words aren’t copyrighted, feel free to write what you want, it’s nothing profound it’s common sense. In my opinion Don’t get me started of Casey Anthony, the mind boggles as to why she’s walking free! I do believe the prosecution were a little bit too confident & I believe they made a mistake going for first degree murder (did they ask for the death penalty too?) if I were on the jury I don’t think I could have sent her to death row with the evidence shown, but she should have gotten jail time for child endangerment at least! The whole story of her father abusing her was utter rubbish, in my opinion. Anyhoo, back to Gypsy, I agree, I feel terrible for her and Nick, I don’t think either of them had the mental capacity to truly understand what they were doing, gypsy was reeling from years of abuse & Nick wanted to help, neither of them should have to face what was done as adults, mentally they aren’t adults It’s just so sad ❤️
The boyfriend partly deserves it. He had an alter ego called victor that was extremely dangerous in several different ways, you can search it up. He deserves to be in prison definitely, but he also deserves help.
-Ceska Meska- but he couldnt help it and it wasnt an "ego" he had an disorder and autism.That woman got a shitload of karma who tf does that to their own child
I know people might say that murder was also kinda Gypsy's fault (well obviously, cause she was involved in that murder), but look at it from different angle... this girl was drugged with pills everyday, locked home like in prison and forced to act like she's handicapped. Imagine living like this for years, you would be as frustrated as her. Things like this also stick with you for the rest of your life. So.. I think Gypsy is actually a really sweet girl, but life's been rough with her. All she wanted is to be finally free and live her life.
This woman was put under such and incredible amount of torture and duress there is absolutely no way that either of them should be doing time...they are both mentally disabled or were at the time of the crime.
There is one fact that makes me believe she should have gotten less time and that is that Gypsy did accidentally find her birth certificate and when she confronted DeeDee, DeeDee obtained power of attorney over Gypsy due to Gypsy's "many mental and medical" problems. Gypsy really had no way out. Everyone had been told Gypsy had the mental development of a child. I doubt even law enforcement would have believed Gypsy at this point.
She did. She definitely, did. The little girl was heavily abused and could’ve been dead if she wouldn’t have gotten away. Of course being stabbed is not the way to go but... to be heavily abused and used for money and treated differently, to then find out that your mother lied to you your whole life and used you for money and could’ve killed you.
She already served 23 years growing up being tortured and abused. I was a leukemia nurse and I’ve seen what those patients go through. I firstly can’t believe she got those treatments, like what quack physician ordered these tests and meds? I think her punishment is appropriate, if maybe even a little much. That poor girl.
They definitely didn’t deserve to go to jail. Gypsy was trapped and she only saw one way out, killing her mom. She definitely needs to go to rehab because this is truly traumatizing.
@Honey D Rehab for only having a kindergartner education, being heavily drugged for over half her life, and being severely abused. Gypsy didn't even know her real age, and she had no way to get out of her situation since everyone thought she had brain trauma. No one's saying she isn't guilty of the crime or justifying it in any sense, they just don't want Gypsy to suffer her entire life from a mistake that she wasn't in the right mindset to properly think out.
@Honey D Except for the fact that she was very much physically abused. The one time she tried to escape her mother chained her to a bed for two weeks. She'd beat her, hit her with weapons, and slap her. She was heavily medicated and even went through cancer treatments, which are aggressive and already weaken a person's body. Also, even if she did manage to somewhat educate herself, it was nearly close to the level of which she should've had, and the excuse of "she could've educate herself" is BS because Dee Dee was very protective and kept close watch on her. Not only that, but that's going off the idea that a person with that regressed of a mind state would even be able to educate herself properly in the first place. No matter what your excuse is, Gypsy was basically being held hostage and was not in the right mind state to make rational decisions. No one is saying that Gypsy is innocent of murder. People just want her to receive the education she deserves and the mental help she deserves. None of which can be adequately provided whilst in prison. There are plenty of cases in which people commit murder and are given the treatment that they need instead of just rotting in a prison cell. Society as a whole failed Gypsy, she literally had no other choice at that point, and it was likely that Dee Dee was eventually going to kill her. God the lengths some people go through to victim blame.
@Honey D Taking a bunch of over the counter medication is also extremely bad. Mixing medications can be harmful. There's no evidence that suggests that Gypsy is lying about anything, we're taking her word over the mother who literally starved her mother to death. And, once again, "educating herself pretty well" is a BS statement since you literally can't expect someone who stopped having a proper education in kindergarten to be able to educate herself even close to properly. Also, it's a bit ironic you're telling me to keep to the facts when part of your argument is going off your own intuition and what you think. Unless you have any evidence to prove Dee Dee wasn't abusive, then most people will side with the person claiming it. You're literally downplaying the extreme trauma a situation like this would cause, and downplaying the effects of various OTC medications can do when abused.
The doctors who saw Gypsy ALL those years, deserve to be severely punished and have their licenses taken away. At the end of the day, they enabled DeeDee to treat her child this way. DeeDee had severe mental health issues and Gypsy should have been taken away so long ago. I feel for the dad and I hope he and Gypsy can have a good relationship. Gypsy does not deserve jail time and I think Nick deserves a very light sentence if anything.
MakSavages she jumped around doctors as soon as they would start to suspect anything. If you watch the HBO documentary "Mommy Dead and Dearest" they interview one of her doctors who says he suspected something was off and DeeDee switched doctors shortly after the visit where he made that report. Doctors see thousands of patients, and if someone isn't a good historian, it's not like they have time to sit there and wonder if they're lying or not, especially if that patient doesn't have a concise chart, but rather files from a bunch of different doctors in a bunch of different states. The only person to blame here is the psychotic Munchausen by proxy mother.
I always had a feeling that gypsy wasn't sick....and her mother was jus faking everything. before I even found out the real story like a lot of years ago... my moms a nurse amd I just...knew what kids she took care of were just like ghosts mom deacribed... but acted nothing like gypsy...of course I kept and open mind bc it's sad but I deep down just knew that this poor girl was goin through it..
This girl was literally on tons of medications, mentally and physically abused, and forced into believing that she really did have all of these medical issues. How are the doctors not held accountable? For giving her all of these unnecessary drugs and treatment. Of course she isn't going to act normally! Sentencing her for 10 years is ridiculous (but being a Missouri resident, many court cases that go on here prove to be corrupt).
The mother was extremely manipulative. She was bound and determined to have medical treatments and she also has that medical knowledge, so she could twist everything around.
The doctors that knew nothing was wrong with Gypsy and had suspicions about Dee Dee had a responsibility to report their suspicions and they didn't. They did nothing and therefore in my opinion they allowed the medical abuse to continue by being so irresponsible in not reporting their suspicions.
That poor girl. Her mother even lied to her about her age! I mean it's horrifying. It isn't surprising that she did what she did. This girl needs real help with everything she has been through. She needs counseling and therapy.
I gotta say, you definitely tell this story the best!!! ❤ Netflix needs to find you!!! Seriously!! You have a gift with telling a story!! GOD Bless you!!! 🙏🏻❤️🥰
She tried to escape but got caught, beaten, and tied to her bed for weeks. I cant even believe that Dee Dee would do this to her own daughter. Gypsy does not deserve jail time, she needs therapy.
@@elliegilmartin4222 It wasn't that exciting. Lol. There's only 2 female prisons in Mo. So I was only around here until she was done with diagnostics n sent to Chillicothe. She does talk n seem like shes 12 tho just like on the Hulu series.
Like you said, why didn't any of the doctors ever intervene?! How was she given such extreme treatment with no proof of illness! Absolutely scandalous!! They should have been on trial too. 😤😤😤
I think everyone would want to kill their mother in this situation. Gypsy was tortured by her own mother, drugged and brainwashed. She couldn't seek help because she was told nobody will believe her. She was scared. Mentally and physically abused. I think she shouldn't end up in jail, maybe in a mental hospital.
She’s going to get out of prison at age 30. With no therapy for her trauma, no career, nothing past a kindergarten education, and nowhere to go. 10 years in prison instead of a facility to help her, is insane, and unfair.
She's getting an education in prison. She's gonna be better educated than us after all those years spent on her education and only her education.
Lady Jay Mac lol, clearly you aren’t familiar with the education programs within the prison system 😂
she got engaged in prison
@@Janellabelle True. In America, only the military and prison system is socialist and provides healthcare and education.
I don't hold it against them. More power to them. Now we need the rest of America to catch up. If its good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
Aidyn !! I’m sure she’ll go to her Dad’s house when she gets out.
Let’s be clear. She wasn’t homeschooled. Her mom just pulled her out of school and lied about homeschooling her too.
Very good point! Thank you.
Exactly. People who actually homeschool are very different than this type of evil creep who pulls their kid out of school to cover up child abuse!
Ugh I think that must go on a lot
Yeah, I'm always suspicious of home schooling parents.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I homeschooled both my kids. One graduated college and one was a CRT in the Navy. Not all homeschooling families are weird.
i see her murdering her mother as a self defence honestly. she literally did it so she could escape being abused and held captive. AND she was drugged my her mother while the murder was happening. the mother is the ONLY one to blame for this
lover girl I agree, she did not deserve this
preach!
@@mayacarney9737 I agree fully
lover girl yeah :(
I agree with you but by law her mom wasn't the only one at fault.... it's messed up
Crazy thing is of Gypsy ended up dying in her mothers “care” it would’ve been looked over and not considered murder.
This right here. This girl doesn't deserve prison.
@@Chaos_and_Creativity no she doesn't.
Too true 😢
Just saw a similar case to this and she went too far and killed her 5 year old but it wasn't for like a year till anyone figured out what was going on. So I guess gypsy was just supposed to spend the rest of jer life being abused and tortured till she ended up dead ( tried to run away once and mommie dearest found her)
Right? The fact that she told the father and others she “wouldn’t live” past 18… lshe was definitely planning on something more…
I think her sentence was too much, and not in the right place. She needs mental HELP because her development was denied her whole life. She needs HELP, not prison.
The boy deserves help too.
Senali Karunathilake she was drugged her whole life.. she was not in the right mindset
@@senalikarunatilake5210 her mother gave her all these meds and for no reason the mother was the one who was poisoning her own daughter the mom even killed her own mother.
@Senali Karunathilake well, she was drugged and put up with the wrong medicine all her life, and was treated way younger then she was, basically for clout, so she didn’t deserve it, her mother did..
Senali Karunathilake you’re a dumbfuck it was in self defense if u read about the case you would know that she had tried to escape before and was tied to a bed and beaten for two weeks. she had never been educated past kindergarten and Disney movies neither of would teach anyone what self defense is and the legality of it so in her warped sense of reality killing the evil person and running away to a far away place is what she had been taught and once again you’re dumbfuck
Her mom deserved it and I really hope she gets help for all this trauma
In my opinion, a victim of kidnap wouldn't be held accountable for killing or harming their captor during an escape so neither should this girl. She was her mothers hostage and it sucks that her mother will never have to answer for her crimes against her own child.
Agreed also. She was basicly held hostage for most of her life.
Heather D-S i agree I think her mother got what she deserved
Yeah blaming a hostage is as bad as stockholm sydrome by proxy (made up term).
She was a hostage, but obviously not completely all there. Neither was Nick, he has no excuse. He straight up murdered the mom because he was told to do so. Both are to blame, yes it was a “hostage” situation, but what both of them did is still very much illegal. They planned the death of a women, a terrible nasty one, and then proceeded with it. They shouldn’t be set free, but she should receive help to rehabilitate her
+Daniel Santos; you want to blame a girl who was screwed up by the tormenter she eventually had killed. That daughter was not safe for much longer and society had failed her. She had no incentive to follow an ethical code towards people who were unethical to her. If she gets treated like an animal in prison then it would be fair game for her to act like an animal in retaliation towards those abusers. It's shameful that another human as you would denigrate this poor fellow earthling for her desperate choice. Plus the conditions are not the same now. She can finally speak her mind to others and not be so estranged as to see no other choice but to murder a censoring captor who administers poison regularly and was even liable to murder that daughter in time to hide the truth and escape justice. Gypsy is a hero as much as a military veteran. One less terrorist in our midst thanks to her and Nick.
I think 10 years in prison is the wrong sentence, ESPECIALLY if it doesn't include any treatment for everything she's been through. Because that's what she needs, not to just sit there in prison.
Kovu Kingsrod I think prison is right but I totally agree about treatment AND PROPERLY schooling programs. I agree that it was unfair to her.
How could nobody see it was puberty and raging harmones the reason Gypsy had Deedee killed. Her 1st time was in a theatre men's bathroom. After the murder they went to a hotel and asked Nick to rape her. She didn't snap from the lie she was a part of. She became a woman. Let's keep it real now. She's not that little girl that jumped in that pile of snow. We all saw Gypsy's act when DT told her your mother is dead. That was an Oscar worthy performance.
@@00tonytone gypsy tried to run away several times though
Kovu Kingsrod I agree and I also love you 😊
@Molly Exactly, I believe that the sentence is to harsh. Her mother basically robbed her life from her, 23 years of it. He isnt thinking about all the procedures and medications that her mother made her endure. That had to be a living hell. I cant even imagine having a feeding tube forced on me and surgery's. That mother stole her entire childhood. I am not saying she gets off free, but a manslaughter charge would of been more appropriate. Plus the fact Tony Micel says it was raging hormones that made her kill her mother is ridiculous. She wasnt a 15 year old boy she was 23 years old. More like she was mentally, physically abused and that is what made her do it.
It's interesting how Dee Dee allowed her to watch Tangled, which is about a girl trapped and gaslit by an abusive mother. I feel like watching that for the first time would've been momentous experience for her.
Maybe that was the movie that gave her the idea, or at least started the thought of escaping circling in her head.. It’s so unfair and unfortunate that Deedee found her when she did try to escape so she felt like she had to go through with this whole mess, everyone took an L with this one :(
Because usually people like Dee Dee are not self aware and don’t think they are doing a bad thing
It was for me lol. I’ll never forget my boyfriend at the time being like…..well THIS is a bit on the nose 🤣
That poor girl does NOT deserve a prison sentence after what she's gone threw. If anything she should have 2 or 3 years in a pysch ward
Also someone to teach her life skills.
I am so glad someone agrees with me. Gypsy was a victim. Yes, she made the wrong choice, but if I were her, I'd feel trapped too
I wouldn’t even put Gypsy in a psych ward...they don’t exactly treat them like people either. It’d probably be just as much torture in a psych ward as it was in Dee Dee’s house.
Not saying she should be in prison either. I think she should be in a place to help her get better and help her with things for her future on the outside.
except that 2 to 3 years of therapy would absolutely NOT be enough to even make her understand some of the traumas she went through. I feel like people underestimate how traumatizing some situations are (especially when people are saying that she should be fully accountable for this murder. This was honestly a situation of life or death in her eyes, I'm almost sure of it)
Her mother was a monster, Gypsy did not deserve prison time, just therapy and she deserves freedom.
the mom deserve what happened to her, she drugged heavily her daughter with dangerous medications, she deprived her of education and from a normal childhood, even from her dad. I'm very astonished that the mother was not seen as a Munchausen by proxy case because she has all the red flags also the child was not sick at all, the feeding tube is often a sign of abuse when it is the mom that ask it.
Agree
Could she called someone or told someone on what’s happen no she didn’t I would have giving her 12 years not 10
She more free in prison
@@fredimartinez8735 did you not listen her mother abused her threaten her
A doctor DID note and report DeeDee to CPS about the possibility of munchausen by proxy, and they laughed at him.
😲
💔 they doubt you. They fight you. they appreciate you last.
That’s so sad
👏👏👏👏👏 God bless this Doctor !
Woooow
The fact that Dee Dee's family said to flush her ashes down the toilet speaks volumes.
I was just the 666th like 😈
That poor toilet
😅😅😅😅
This.
Exactly! Even Gypsys dad said Dee Dee was making claims about their daughter as young as a few months old. So sad that Gypsy didnt get to lead a normal life.
People forget that Gypsy tried to escape. She ran away once and her mom tracked her down and dragged her back home.
Her mom was always going to control her, she would never have let her go, she dragged gypsy round like a show pony
Then beat her when they got home
Chelseaxamber c-e and tied her down for 2 weeks
An her mom tracked her down and dragged her back home .
How was she found by her mom?
but her poor father. can you imagine being in his shoes? I'm sure he feels so guilty though he did nothing wrong.
Bubblegumgirl1996 something about her tube site being healed!! Basically the hole she had in her stomach from the feeding tube was closed up and healed.
"tube's out. all healed up now."
If he was more in her life, maybe this would've never happened!
TilDeath1776 US he couldn't rly because of Dee Dee and also she said he was a bad person so she believed it i guess
TilDeath1776 US , He Was TRYING Too ! Dee Dee Wouldnt Let Him ! He Was Not A Deadbeat Dad !! Rewatch The Video !
all I keep thinking about is how she said “some neighbors saw her jumping on a trampoline” ???? Like did NO ONE question the fact that she had a TRAMPOLINE TO BEGIN WITH???
Most likely the neighbor’s trampoline
😂 so true!! 🤔

Came back to rewatch after her release from prison. Wishing Gypsy safety and peace 🕊️
SAME ❤❤❤LOL
Same ❤🫶🏽
I saw an interview she did a few days ago. She seems well adjusted, praying for her
In Gypsy's mind, I think it was "She's either gonna kill me or I'll kill her." I honestly feel like she felt it was her only way out. I'm not in any way saying it was right. I'm saying that I get it. I'm hoping she'll get real help.
I agree her mum did say she'd die at a young age...so who knows if dee dee had had enough she decided to od her 🤷♀️
I agree
I think she might have ended up dead if she didn't get away from Dee Dee. How about Cancer treatments for someone who doesn't have cancer? Feeding tube for no reason? Hundreds of medications? Yea...it was Dee Dee or Gypsy
@@ttrublu79 I think the only reason Dee Dee didn't kill her already is that she'd lose her narcissistic supply and the source of all her attention, money, and the like. Evil, Evil woman
I’m so torn on this whole thing. Nobody should be butchered to death but no “mother” should be allowed to get away with 1/10 of what that horrible deedee did. I really really feel like some actual therapy would have been a better choice than 10 years in prison. I know at least at one time Dr. Phil was in support of a reduced sentence for Gypsy, although in his podcast he seemed to put way more blame on Godejohn, and I’m not sure if he ever mentioned his autism or not. It’s a horrible story any which way you look, and the fact that deedee’s own siblings didn’t want her ashes? She must have been an evil piece of work from day one.
I don’t think she should be in prison. I think she should be in a mental hospital to help her integrate into society better after she gets out, not prison. At least at first. Help her rehabilitate.
That probably would have been best!
Agreed!! She is definitely going to need therapy! I really hope she gets it, she deserves to have as normal a life as possible!
My thoughts exactly. She probably has some PTSD, at the very least! Considering that she believes prison to be a step up is very sad.
Agree
She's basically had a life sentence already from her Mum
this poor girl needs a lifetime of therapy, not prison time.
Absolutely and it will take her whole life
Yes, Dee Dee physically and mentally abused her. I find it ridiculous she went to jail because it was basically self defence. Although I do find the Facebook messages a bit disturbing.
Agree
She was also very manipulative, she did have the mentality to plan and look.for someone to do the killing for her. Like they say NOT EVERYTHING IS LIKE.IT SEEMS
How about both
Gypsey’s mother stole her life. Gypsey should not be in prison.
What her mum did was already a life sentence herself she should be in a mental hospital and rehab getting help and an education not sitting in a jail wasting away her life
Can't something be done 2 help gwe
@@okidoki4516 yup
Agreed, she spent her whole life in prison, she shouldn’t end up in another.
She’s out now ! 🎉
i just don’t understand how a rapist can get a minimum of 1 year in prison and this young ABUSED girl gets 10 years. how does that make sense? in my eyes she acted on self defense.
InfusedSediment Because her whole life Gypsy has been abused and obviously has trauma and is mental ill. Gypsy doesn’t deserve to be thrown in prison, she need to get the mental help she deserves.
@InfusedSediment she doesn't need prison though. she needs therapy, prison won't help her at all because it's not even a punishment for her. she said she enjoys her time in prison a lot more than the time she spent at home, so i really don't get why they decided to lock her up. yes, she planned a murder but it was basically an act of self defence. only therapy can help her
@InfusedSediment well yeah just saying that by itself obviously makes her seem 100% guilty but she was tortured for 23 years. personally i can't blame her. what else could she have done? just let her mother treat her like a toy for the rest of her life? murder probably wasn't the best thing to do but her mother definitely needed to be punished somehow. she didn't just plan the murder of her mother, she planned the murder of a crazy, evil, abusive liar.
@InfusedSediment she never said anything that she knew her mother didn't like because she knew she'd be punished if she did. idk if it's true but i saw another comment that said one of the doctors guessed that dee dee had munchausen syndrome by proxy but nobody believed them.
InfusedSediment gypsy was also HEAVILY drugged when deedee took her out.
I think she already served her time being tortured for 23 years by that monster. Where's the accountability for all the medical professionals that let her down
I feel her boyfriend got a raw deal...I don’t think he should be in jail either, they both need mental help...

Kate Trimue I agree but that makes it all the more terrible and depressing...
Robbed of 33 years
Jennifer miller NOW TEN MORE
That tangled comparison is just even more spot on when you think about how Dee Dee would shave Gypsy’s hair to make her appear weak and as if she’d gone through chemo and when Rapunzel’s hair would get cut then she’d lose the magic or strength of her hair.
Ikr
Was it Samson? A giant they weakened by cutting his hair.
The fact she is happier in jail than in her own home says a lot.
So true, in fact she said that she feels more free than ever in prison
Yep
@Blair Bart elaborate.
I also hope that she is able to get the education that she deserves. To be only educated to a kindergarten level at age 23 is not fair to her.
@Blair Bart much doubt.
Also, if you're not lying for some really obscure clout.. If anyone manipulated you it was her mother vicariously through Gypsy.
what baffles me is this girl who has been mentally, physically, and emotionally abused her WHOLE life gets 10 years for having to do something with killing a horrible evil human but pedophiles that are millionaires get 10 months this system is so corrupt
Mandy Romero Preach
EXACTLYYYYYYYYY
Ugh, SOOO TRUE!! why do abusers get away with it and self-defense (for lack of a better term) is punishable.
Right!? Or Casey Anthony, it was so obvious she killed that poor little girl. No doubt about it and the only thing she is charged with is 4 years for lying to police??? Like are you kidding me.
If ANYONE deserves to get off on a "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea, it's this poor woman! I don't know how a jury could see fit to lock this young woman up for a decade when she clearly snapped after a LIFETIME of being abused and poisoned in order to fund her mother's scams.
Gypsy should have been sent to a psychiatric hospital to help her cope with her abusive past and learn to live a normal life. She clearly isn't a danger to the general public and it's outrageous that she's locked up alongside hardened criminals.
Gypsy was raised thinking no one would help her, she grew up on Disney where the hero kills the villains for the Princess. She should have gotten the mental help she needed. The drugs, even without the mental and physical abuse would make her detached from reality. That poor girl. Deedee should have had to stand trial. Its a shame she chose murder to escape. This is such a difficult case.
I didn't even think about the movie thing, but that's actually a good point. She had hardly any education besides the children's programs she would watch on TV. She didn't have much in the way of learning a more complicated morality system beyond this. In many of those programs, the prince saves the girl. She convinced Nick to be her hero in shining armor and it's really sad that both of their lives end up being wasted due to lack of leniency.
That’s a good point. Her mindset about good and evil probably was probably very juvenile.
Agree 100% that one of the great tragedies of this case is that Dee Dee never had the chance to be tried & convicted (hopefully very harshly, IMO) for the literal lifetime of abuse & torture to which she subjected her helpless daughter.
Her death prevented gypsy from ever truly receiving the justice she so badly deserved.
Also, I agree about the Disney-fication of Gypsy's worldview. She was raised to sincerely believe in an ostensible world in which the hero always rescues the captive princess-in-distress and then ultimately triumphs over the villain, whereupon the two of them live happily ever after in an ideal romantic fantasy: the end, roll credits.
This relentlessly imposed worldview most likely left her without either a rational, functional moral compass or the capacity to conceptualize any real-world consequences of her actions.
I think her entire life with Dee Dee can be summed up by the psychological concept of "learned helplessness."
The whole thing is immeasurably unjust & tragic in so many ways, on so many levels.
Yes. That is basically what I said. 100% agree!!!!!!
that point about disney is so profound and so on point. i never thought of it that way but it makes so much sense.
Seeing gypsy hug her dad was just lovely.
I’m so glad that she has family who love her.
People who said “why didn’t you just leave” forget or don’t know she did leave but her mother tracked her down & brought her back & things got worse for her
With that level of Abuse, I think the sentence was too much. Self defence easily, they should be supporting her not punishing her
claudia corr but she did commit murder
she saw it as no other option.. she was abused and paralyzed so not like she could escape, or if she did, the mother would've found her and abuse her even more. and her mom told police not to believe a word gypsy says
I completely agree, this was self defense.
Legally for an action to be “self defense” it has to occur immediately to prevent another violent crime or to prevent personal harm. You have to be in immediate danger.
I think in this case Gypsy WAS in immediate danger.
How did Nick (Gypsy’s boyfriend) end up getting sentenced to life in prison?! 😱🙊 Gypsy should have been given therapy instead of ten years in prison and Nick should definitely have not gotten such a harsh sentence due to his autism. Justice wasn’t served in this case. smh.
Gypsy should have gotten probation. Nick should have gotten 5-10
As an autistic person, I’m on the fence about Nick serving life. This is technically a 1st degree premeditated murder, but the circumstances are crazy and you can definitely feel sympathy for Gypsy.
I 100% agree Gypsy shouldn’t’ve served, but I feel that Nick should still have to serve but have the possibility of parole. Autism should not be considered an excuse for situations such as murder.
@@NuevoExistence I agree. But the ability to be manipulated into committing a criminal act is a different story.
@@NuevoExistence I do agree with you. Those lower on the autism spectrum can distinguish right from wrong, but those with more severe autism struggle to perform basic tasks and are unable to understand abstract concepts such as what behaviors are socially acceptable. I am not sure where Nick falls on the autistic spectrum. But the point I was trying to make in my initial comment is that instead of giving Nick a life sentence, the justice system should do more to help reform inmates with mental health issues rather than simply condemning them to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Especially for offenders committing crimes prior to when the rational portion of their brain has fully developed.
@@NuevoExistence You’re welcome. I currently live in the States but I have lived in Europe and Southeast Asia as well. Hopefully in the future more will be done universally to assist those with untreated (or under treated) mental illness as well as addiction (in all its guises). It is more cost effective and betters society as a whole... instead of merely putting everyone that commits a crime in jail or prison. Of course there are some people that are incapable of reformation and incarceration is the only solution for that subset of the population. Thank you for your comments and for allowing me to clarify my initial statement. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend. Take care.
I mean I think Dee dee being 24 and gypsys father being 17 isn't just a "little bit older", that is pretty disturbing a 17 year old having a child with a 24 year old is creepy.
I think a mental health institute would probably serve her better. She's been lied to and hurt and she needs someone to help her mentally
Their about to release a series about it on Hulu called The Act.
It’s worth noting that in EVERY picture Dee Dee had at least one hand on Gypsy. The hand holding and the tight hugs were a means of control
As for the treatment, she never got chemotherapy. Dee Dee shaved her head and told everyone it was due to cancer
Since nobody is saying it I’ll say it now. Gypsy got a wish from Make A Wish. Do the people at Make A Wish question the veracity of what the parents claim their children have?
Miss Moxie as a childhood cancer survivor, im pretty sure the make a wish foundation needs paperwork from the hospital to confirm the diagnosis, but i could be wrong.
Amanda W there is a kids meet video on the Cut Video channel with someone else who also is, if you’re interested, and sounds about right
My oncologist had to contact the Make A Wish people to set up a meeting with my family
Deedee was careful to change doctors every time one got suspicious. Plus all of the meds she was taking gave her side effects that would mimic symptoms of other diseases. The doctors were conned as well
I still don't understand the leukemia thing either. The other diseases I see how dee dee made it seem she had them but no doctor saw that she never had chemo and didn't do blood tests? I didn't get that one either.
Like imagine a child is kidnapped, abused for years and then kills the kidnapper in order to escape... that would be seen as self defense so this case shouldn't be treated any differently in court. It's even worse coz the abuser was her MOTHER. Evil
Yeah, that's exactly what it's like. But sadly these sentences still happen even in those cases. I know of many other cases like this.
I agree, but she isn't the one who killed her. So that's where it gets tricky.
It isn’t mentioned here but Gypsy DID run away once and her mom tracked her down & I believe handcuffed her to the bed. There was also at least one (maybe multiple, I don’t recall) wellness checks made by the police looking into Gypsy being abused & Deedee charmed them away. So it wasn’t “she jumped straight to murder,” Gypsy did try to leave and get away and it was made worse for her after every attempt
@Talena zzstu Meechan and I don't agree. Her mother was actively giving her medications that WERE killing her. She was in constant real danger.
I absolutely agree!!! 💯
Did you guys know Gypsy is now engaged? She met a wonderful man through a pen pal system. He reached out to her with words of encouragement after learning about her story, they became friends and are engaged and planning to get married upon her release (which due to parol could either be in 2024 or 2026)
Awwww. She deserves and needs love in her life. I wish her the best and I hope she is able to heal as much as she can
I hope when she gets out, she has a wonderful life. I hope she is happy and gets help and therapy and is able to live somewhat of a normal life.💗
That’s terrifying. Makes me think she’ll be victimized again.
I’ll send them a toaster
@@annacostello5181 wtf😂
I feel for Nick, I truly think he saw it as rescuing Gypsy and should be in a mental health facility and not jail. As many of the comments have already pointed out, Gypsy would have probably died at an early age had she not escaped from her Mom. I did not realize Gypsy only had a kindergarten education at best. That’s a crime in itself.
I JUST heard this so I don't have much of a basis to back these claims but supposedly those close to the case feel like he completely manipulated her and wanted to rape her mother prior to killing her. I'm interested to know if anyone who's really familiar with the case knows anything about this as I only know the basics......??? If it's true that speaks volumes about his intentions being much darker than an attempt to save Gypsy.
@@kristalefler3312 Well, if the rape thing is true I think many people in the comments are forgetting about it
@@kristalefler3312 that’s what the reenactment insinuated on Hulu bc he couldn’t get it up when he went to have sex with Gypsy but they never make it clear if he did or didn’t. I don’t know I feel like he would have ended up killin Gypsy bc he has no control.
@@Pumpkinhead1993 it is. He actually wanted to rape Dee Dee before he killed her but gypsy wouldn’t let him. She offered herself to him so he raped her instead.
Yeah I feel for him he would have done anything for her and he did. He assumed they would be together for life not realizing she needed him to get her out and he did now he is suffering horribly.
So NOW ever since The Act came out, and she’s been getting outside support from the public there is a petition to get her out of prison.
The mom stole her daughter's childhood and life, and then on top of that took resources from people with disabilities who could have used the support.
This keeps unfolding more and more wow. You need your own TV series. The way you show a mix of empathy, knowledge and a clear perspective.
Imagine being so detestable, your own family would rather flush your ashes down the toilet than own them. Even some of the worst serial killers in history had relatives who still loved them in spite of what they did. I'm honestly stunned.
That part was almost funny to me. No love between that family, that's for sure.
😂🤣
How sad is it that jail is an improvement for her, and has offered her more support and education than she ever got growing up?
I hope she gets a pardon. She was abused, drugged, and manipulated, and it looks like she really had no way out. What her mother did to her was criminal.
IKR
How did she get 10 years and Casey Anthony was found not guilty?
Collision EXCATLY!!!! Smmfh
The problem with Casey Anthony was that the state made the wrong charges and therefore could not prove them. I fully blame the states attorney for her getting off. How can you prove 1st degree murder in a case where you can not prove how someone died. And when there is ANY doubt, the jury is required by law to find a person not guilty. The state should have changed Anthony with, disposing of the childs body and possibly neglect that resulted in death. But they over reached due to public opinion and outrage. Had they charged her with what they could prove, she would still be in prison today. Where she belongs. After throwing her baby away like so much trash.
Thank you😱
I'll never understand why Casey Anthony got away with it.
Collision HONESTLY
Here I am watching this 5 YEARS after you posted it and can I just say, wow! It's wonderful to see how your channel has grown and evolved.
Dude she was drugged and tortured, she shouldn't have been sentenced like that. 10 years is way too much for these extreme extreme circumstances. I think a few years then probation would have been enough
at least it wasnt the death penalty like they said
I'm disabled in a wheelchair. When I watched her jump in the snow I noticed she had full function of her legs.
@Alanae Stewart awww thank you!!! I'm great! Was born with a disability but I don't let it stop me! 💛💜💛💙
EXACTLY
When I had first ever saw that video, I COMPLETELY notice that.
Please don't assume that because someone is in a wheelchair they automatically don't have function in their legs or can't walk, that's rather ignorant. People can be in a chair for many different reasons. She very much could be faking sure but that's still not a nice thing to assume.
@@meevins Hella .....point is there was NO reason for Gypsy to have a wheelchair....It is really a disrespectful and conniving thing to do...Had she been smart ...I mean she had her evil by many admission crazy murdered....Had She had one more chance ,She would have done one thing to keep up the charade ...She would have taken the power chair with Her...Still pretending to be unable to walk..... getting jailhouse sympathy and probably would have gotten away with murder....But one thing I do know...She is responsible for Her Mom being murdered....Nick being imstutionalized in prison.....This dumb chick will someday pass away too......And she is gonna roll right by those Pearly Gates.....Yes....She is gonna walk straight into Hell....Without Eating Cinderella's Castle's 'ROYAL MASHED POTATOES!"
She didn't deserve more prison time
The first 23 years of her life was a prison sentence.
I do believe the stennis was too hard I do believe she did a lot of mental health and education that we could have provided for her. Instead of locking her up in a cell. A delete do believe want you've taken someone's life that you should be punished but she was punished enough and she could have went to a halfway house she could have got a lot of mental health and education so she could change her life around to help others that are Going through this to teach them that they can speak out that they have a voice.
Her mother already put her through an 23 year sentence…. Time served. Her boyfriend was railroaded and it bothers me that either of them are being punished like they are.
He literally raped Gypsy and was going to rape her mom before he killed her but she wouldn’t let him. He isn’t a good person
There was actually a few doctors who were going against DeeDee.. So many were doing investigations against the whole situation. That’s why they would go out of state. DeeDee was very smart and knew how to cheat the system.
true and she got what she deserved honestly she was slowly killing gypsy anyways
Child services even came to the Blanchard home and Dee Dee manipulated that too. Poor Gypsy had so many people that could of helped and didn’t. Killing her mom truly was the only way out, she shouldn’t be in jail
DeeDee got away with us because the people around her, believed the best of her due to their situation and she exploited that and her daughter to her advantage. My heart breaks for her. Reminds me of another case you did for 5y.o. Derrick. When his killer was a 13 y.r. dealing with trauma and mental health issues.. these kids were left in the care of monsters and in turn became monsters.. 💔
@@cyngIamTurtle Very very true! and not the only case! Its Horryfing how so many Institutions these people passed by and into, and Doctors COULD HAVE identified and cared about Gypsy. but instead choose to do nothing, and believed the ”Official story”. I am sure though the few who noticed something wrong, after all the History that the Psycho mother had made about Gypsy being sick and all, nobody had suspected any different. This is another case of, look how FAR a Psychopath can go if it is not stopped. Psychopaths should not have children.... this girl is not guilty of anything and she was arleady IN Prison sfor so many years and endured things NO child should be made to endure!!! There ar emany Questions... there should be investigated also the Authorothies. I saw a Documentary and interview with Dee Dees parents who stated even as a child she was into occult, manipulation but managed to fool many people. There should be a Law against these types of people to not allow them to breed, or take care of children or relationships because all they intend is to destroy. This b*** excuse my language, is everything OPPOSE a Mother should be..... Gypsy is a very, very brave girl. few would have lasted as much as she did with everything she has been through x God Bless her and I hope she has the best. The same story and similar stories have Children who come from NPD Narcisism parents and Cluster Bs. they should be tested before having children. Congrats to Gypsy
I think the moment the mother died, justice was served.
In court, she was victimized again.
This isn't justice.
Lauren O 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wanted to day this, but not sound insane...
Lauren O the mindset kinda messed her up, but it still doesn’t explain the murder idk??🤷🏾♀️
@@prettypaula09 what do you mean?
I completely agree with you! 10 years in prison is way too much of a punishment for Gypsy. She was already in prison, or more like hell on earth, for 23 years of her life. It's unfathomable what she went thru & how she fell thru all those cracks, so nobody can truly say what they'd do if they were in her shoes. She def deserves the help now that she didn't receive from ANYONE for 23 years!
Carol Lynn I totally agree, 10 years is way too much although she isn't totally innocent she's been trapped for 23 years already
Anyone who kills their abuser shouldn't be sentenced. Give her some mental help, but not prison.
this is literally the one of the most terrifying stories ever
While I recognize this is an incredibly complex case, I truly believe 10 years is too much for this girl. She is not a threat to society. This prison sentence is not going to do anything for her.
Oh yes she is! She extremely manipulative. Watch the 12 hours interrogation video and you’ll change your mind about her. She blamed Nick the whole time for the murderer. I even suspect she just used him for that. She’s as bad as her mother.
@@dressarezende11 he literally manipulated her that was her only chance of freedom, and there would have been no way for her to know the wiser.
And just as bad as her mother? What a joke.
@@dressarezende11 u so dumb
Wouldn’t the killing be technically self defense because the mom was abusive and threatened to kill her.
TOTALLY not a beauty guru the problem was because she planned it.... if she had just killed her and called the police I think the situation would’ve been different... although I really think she DOESNT deserve to be in jail poor girl
@@courteneydorcena7325 you're right, she had it planned. still the mother was horrible.
Ivanna V yeah I still think she shouldn’t have gone to jail
Only if the mom was attacking her at that moment
Ivy Bravestep her “mother” held her against her will and drugged her daily.. Gypsy was a literal hostage. So ya, she was in the process of getting attacked, on the daily.
It sounds like self defense to me.
Instead of a gun or knife her mom used drugs, abuse, and deception.
It is cause munchausen by proxy is literally a life or death situation cause eventually when theres no more sicknesses to take advantage of the last thing to get attention is and has always been death. There was a case of a kid who was killed in a hospital by his mother and his mother had munchausen by proxy. It should always be seen as self defence if the kid ends up killing the person subjecting them to it cause it is a form of abuse
agreed
i love how her dad is there for her now. it's so sweet.
Tori Prettyman yah it makes me so happy

First time in hearing this story...
This family, the Pitres, are very distant cousins 😮
Have two feeding tubes (one into my stomach, one into my intestines) and they are torturous. Placing a tube into the intestines is an extremely hard surgery, and placing one into the stomach isn’t near as difficult but is extremely painful. Feeding tubes are usually held in by a balloon which can be inflated and deflated from the outside. For a stomach tube, they deflate it pull the old tube out, put the new one in, inflate the balloon and send you on your way. This is done every 4-6 months. They usually leak quite a bit and your stomach acid eats your skin. An intestinal tube is much more extensive and difficult to change. Usually done under live x-ray and the doctor uses a guide wire to get the tube down to into the intestines and to lay correctly.
Tubes suck. I can’t imagine having to deal with them and all the pain and trouble they cause when you don’t need them and know you don’t.
I have GJ tube too, the surgery was extremely rough!!! I have a serious stomach disease and it took me years to get doctors to take me seriously about getting one, so I don’t understand why she had that surgery with no proof of actually needing one. Whoever gave her all those medications and surgery need to get fired. A feeding surgery is a serious surgery
DeeDee was not medically abusing her.
Seeing her speaking with her dad and his partner is really sad because that’s what she could’ve had but instead she was robbed of 23 years :(
34 really, because of her sentence 😔
She is a victim, she shouldn’t have seen a day in prison it’s so heartbreaking this woman’s childhood and young adulthood was taken from her.
I totally agree with you it is sad to see that, and the fact she was abused is even sadder .
It’s even more sad that she finds prison better than what her life was. She deserves happiness and freedom for sure.
Absolutely horrendous 😢
The fact that she is happier in prison says it all! She endured 23 years of torture.
Abused wife syndrome. Let nick go, too.
the fact that she is happy in jail tells you what her life was like..
The emotional physical and physiological abuse...I can’t imagine and my heart goes out to both gypsy and Nick.
She’s already got 23 years in prison, she doesn’t need 10 more.
ClaudiaAyeee she had 23?
Nevermind I get it nos
Now*
She meant that her mother held her for 23 years
She should be in a psychiatric hospital, not jail. She clearly has mental issues due to her mothers abuse. She's sick, not evil
this is so sad. her sentence is not fair. she has already served her sentence just by living with DeeDee.
laurita but yet she still killed her mom humm weird dumb butt
@@destinycortes6387 the boyfriend did
my husband has epilepsy and the medication he has tried as all effected him mentally. some of them have even made him not trust his feelings. so I'm not surprised this young girl didn't say anything. she probably didn't know if her feelings were even true.
How sad. Maybe she’ll get out early for good behavior. She definitely needs some treatment. Glad her Dad is there for her. I also feel sorry for the boy and hope he has a good outcome.
So if a hostage, say like a Nazi concentration Camp inmate, is able to kill their jailor and escape, they should be sent to prison?I can’t believe she was punished at all!
I can see what you mean and I understand full but the Nazis were already murders
Gaia Wolf yup
@@Maddy.Gaia. I get it but all that medications, drugs that her mother was giving her would at some point kill her, you heard how she said that Gypsy wasn't going to grow old so Dee Dee was going to be a murderer in some way
Rebekah Cessna how did you get that eye at the end of your name?
@@sink1839 they are a channel member
I see it as self defense. She totally was taken hostage. If someone had a child and kept them in a cage and the child got out and killed had parent it would be self defense. That's how I see this
hailey baker - sorry this is kinda late since i recently stumbled upon this video- but self defense is only reasonable when the person is in immediate threat in that moment in time. if she didn't have a knife to her throat or gun to her head it wasn't self defense, and especially not if she sent someone to do the dirty work for her. nonetheless, her sick mother is beyond evil. that word holds no power to all the actions she's done to the people around her.
andy yo she was in immediate danger! She was being drugged daily who knows when it could have been the last time
And her body couldn’t handle it
hailey baker I see u being fucked up
hailey baker all this shit fucked
Andy yo; i think it on the documentary that said another unwanted and unnecessary surgery was coming up. Maybe the feeding tube every 6 months.
I don't think her sentence is fair at all! No one can really understand what she was going through. Poor poor girl
Eleri Bowen I agree except she was still involved in a homicide and concealed it. I think if she had called the police immediately and acted like she acted out of self defense (which she did) she would have gotten a lighter sentence. This happens a lot and even though it makes sense why they did it, it's still against the law.
Eleri Bowen but she lied about her medical conditions asked him to do it and so is involved in homocide and concealing it
+Ro x she only said she was ill because of her abusive evil mother. The poor girl suffered for 23 years
Morgan Dee yeah!
Iheartamy O but she was still involved doesn't make it better still a homicide
She shouldn’t have gotten a single second in her sentence. She has already suffered a massive portion of her life due to some insanely intense abuse.
So confused why she’s in jail. This seems more like self-defense rather than a random murder
I agree, years and years of physical abuse not to mention mental abuse, you beat a dog it’ll bite you eventually 🤷♀️
@@zarabee2880 I think she needs a lifetime of therapy not jail time. Jail isn’t going to change her because she isn’t a threat
@@kachiggakween agreed! She’s not going to start attacking random people on the street, I think psychologically if any of us had lived our lives like gypsy we may have reacted the same. If a child had been kidnapped held prisoner since early childhood & one day murdered their abuser and escaped they wouldn’t be arrested, as you say they would need, get, years of therapy to come to terms with what they’d suffered.
Because Dee Dee was her biological mother it’s different? I honestly can’t understand why?
@@zarabee2880 -Please re-write this in the main comments. I’d also add that she won’t receive the psychological treatment she so desperately needs while she just sits in a different kind of prison. I’d write it, but I don’t want to steal your words. I feel like your comment encapsulates everything about this story. It’s just so tragic for Nick too . . . He didn’t have the mental comprehension to get Gypsy away from her mother without resorting to murder, and neither did she. Meanwhile, Casey Anthony went free after causing the death of her 3yr old, whom she lied about for 31 days. Sometimes I just don’t understand how our justice system works. Thank you🔆 Lisa
@@justwhatilike...234 my words aren’t copyrighted, feel free to write what you want, it’s nothing profound it’s common sense.
In my opinion
Don’t get me started of Casey Anthony, the mind boggles as to why she’s walking free! I do believe the prosecution were a little bit too confident & I believe they made a mistake going for first degree murder (did they ask for the death penalty too?) if I were on the jury I don’t think I could have sent her to death row with the evidence shown, but she should have gotten jail time for child endangerment at least! The whole story of her father abusing her was utter rubbish, in my opinion.
Anyhoo, back to Gypsy,
I agree, I feel terrible for her and Nick, I don’t think either of them had the mental capacity to truly understand what they were doing, gypsy was reeling from years of abuse & Nick wanted to help, neither of them should have to face what was done as adults, mentally they aren’t adults
It’s just so sad
❤️
The boyfriend just received a life sentence without parole this month...this does not feel like justice
thats sad to hear :/
Dang
Sierra T he killed DeeDee and convinced Gypsy to kill her mom . He locked Gypsy in the bathroom while killing her mom
The boyfriend partly deserves it. He had an alter ego called victor that was extremely dangerous in several different ways, you can search it up. He deserves to be in prison definitely, but he also deserves help.
-Ceska Meska- but he couldnt help it and it wasnt an "ego" he had an disorder and autism.That woman got a shitload of karma who tf does that to their own child
I know people might say that murder was also kinda Gypsy's fault (well obviously, cause she was involved in that murder), but look at it from different angle... this girl was drugged with pills everyday, locked home like in prison and forced to act like she's handicapped. Imagine living like this for years, you would be as frustrated as her. Things like this also stick with you for the rest of your life. So.. I think Gypsy is actually a really sweet girl, but life's been rough with her. All she wanted is to be finally free and live her life.
This woman was put under such and incredible amount of torture and duress there is absolutely no way that either of them should be doing time...they are both mentally disabled or were at the time of the crime.
If you watched any of her interviews, she comes across as such a sweet girl. I felt so bad for her, she doesn't deserve her 10 year sentance
Only idiots who can't understand psychology can't understand honestly
There is one fact that makes me believe she should have gotten less time and that is that Gypsy did accidentally find her birth certificate and when she confronted DeeDee, DeeDee obtained power of attorney over Gypsy due to Gypsy's "many mental and medical" problems. Gypsy really had no way out. Everyone had been told Gypsy had the mental development of a child. I doubt even law enforcement would have believed Gypsy at this point.
Wow that’s crazy! The court should have to get a psych eval to confirm her developmental age before agreeing to that! What a shame.

I'm not saying Dee Dee deserved it but... I don't blame Gypsy.
Nah.. DeeDee deserved it.
I agree she didn't deserve what she got. She deserved MUCH more.... for years... at least 23!
She did. She definitely, did. The little girl was heavily abused and could’ve been dead if she wouldn’t have gotten away. Of course being stabbed is not the way to go but... to be heavily abused and used for money and treated differently, to then find out that your mother lied to you your whole life and used you for money and could’ve killed you.
Wth of course DeeDee deserved it. People like that deserve a painful death, she got killed quickly. Dont hold back on abusers
Violence is not the answer, but I understand how Gypsy was feeling when she did it
She already served 23 years growing up being tortured and abused. I was a leukemia nurse and I’ve seen what those patients go through. I firstly can’t believe she got those treatments, like what quack physician ordered these tests and meds? I think her punishment is appropriate, if maybe even a little much. That poor girl.
They definitely didn’t deserve to go to jail. Gypsy was trapped and she only saw one way out, killing her mom. She definitely needs to go to rehab because this is truly traumatizing.
Obviously it's because she wanted gypsy to believe she was sick
@@jeanninebrayall4247 she probably thought that either her mom would kill her unless she would kill her mom first
@Honey D Rehab for only having a kindergartner education, being heavily drugged for over half her life, and being severely abused. Gypsy didn't even know her real age, and she had no way to get out of her situation since everyone thought she had brain trauma. No one's saying she isn't guilty of the crime or justifying it in any sense, they just don't want Gypsy to suffer her entire life from a mistake that she wasn't in the right mindset to properly think out.
@Honey D Except for the fact that she was very much physically abused. The one time she tried to escape her mother chained her to a bed for two weeks. She'd beat her, hit her with weapons, and slap her. She was heavily medicated and even went through cancer treatments, which are aggressive and already weaken a person's body. Also, even if she did manage to somewhat educate herself, it was nearly close to the level of which she should've had, and the excuse of "she could've educate herself" is BS because Dee Dee was very protective and kept close watch on her. Not only that, but that's going off the idea that a person with that regressed of a mind state would even be able to educate herself properly in the first place. No matter what your excuse is, Gypsy was basically being held hostage and was not in the right mind state to make rational decisions. No one is saying that Gypsy is innocent of murder. People just want her to receive the education she deserves and the mental help she deserves. None of which can be adequately provided whilst in prison. There are plenty of cases in which people commit murder and are given the treatment that they need instead of just rotting in a prison cell. Society as a whole failed Gypsy, she literally had no other choice at that point, and it was likely that Dee Dee was eventually going to kill her.
God the lengths some people go through to victim blame.
@Honey D Taking a bunch of over the counter medication is also extremely bad. Mixing medications can be harmful. There's no evidence that suggests that Gypsy is lying about anything, we're taking her word over the mother who literally starved her mother to death. And, once again, "educating herself pretty well" is a BS statement since you literally can't expect someone who stopped having a proper education in kindergarten to be able to educate herself even close to properly. Also, it's a bit ironic you're telling me to keep to the facts when part of your argument is going off your own intuition and what you think. Unless you have any evidence to prove Dee Dee wasn't abusive, then most people will side with the person claiming it. You're literally downplaying the extreme trauma a situation like this would cause, and downplaying the effects of various OTC medications can do when abused.
They should have put her in a mental hospital for a few years not jail
Agreed.
Agreed
I feel like she shouldnt have even been sentenced unless it was rehab or a mental hospital.
True
The US has a fucked up judicial and prison system.
i was so shook when she showed the footage of gypsy, i never saw that coming oh my god

that clip where gypsy hugs her dad and says "daddy" is so sweet. I hope she gets out ASAP, she deserves to live a proper life.

“Dee Dee? She was ok”
“She was puttin’ poison in my food”
I couldnt help laughing at that 😂
@@broadwaylover5384 me too 😂🤦
That was hilarious. Like... bro. 😂
That wasn’t how the conversation went in reality- this video cuts out a big chunk of it so that wasn’t even the same topic
That is so sad...
Sounds like self defense to me. They should have given her an education and some rehab. 23 years in prison is enough.
The doctors who saw Gypsy ALL those years, deserve to be severely punished and have their licenses taken away. At the end of the day, they enabled DeeDee to treat her child this way. DeeDee had severe mental health issues and Gypsy should have been taken away so long ago. I feel for the dad and I hope he and Gypsy can have a good relationship. Gypsy does not deserve jail time and I think Nick deserves a very light sentence if anything.
Thats how I feel!
MakSavages total and complete malpractice
MakSavages I'm pretty sure one doctor did try to speak out against DeeDee and she completely went against him and made a huge deal about it
MakSavages she jumped around doctors as soon as they would start to suspect anything. If you watch the HBO documentary "Mommy Dead and Dearest" they interview one of her doctors who says he suspected something was off and DeeDee switched doctors shortly after the visit where he made that report. Doctors see thousands of patients, and if someone isn't a good historian, it's not like they have time to sit there and wonder if they're lying or not, especially if that patient doesn't have a concise chart, but rather files from a bunch of different doctors in a bunch of different states. The only person to blame here is the psychotic Munchausen by proxy mother.
MakSavages Totally agree.
Absolute chills down my spine seeing that medicine cabinet.
I hope Gypsy receives eternal happiness and love.
To be honest I feel like a year or two would’ve been enough like this girl went through so much.
They could have sentenced 2 years of prison and the further 8 years split between a hospital and a psychiatrist
I feel the same
Same i agree but also gotten into rehab or gotten counseling so she can heal 😔 it's so sad what happened 💔
I always had a feeling that gypsy wasn't sick....and her mother was jus faking everything. before I even found out the real story like a lot of years ago... my moms a nurse amd I just...knew what kids she took care of were just like ghosts mom deacribed... but acted nothing like gypsy...of course I kept and open mind bc it's sad but I deep down just knew that this poor girl was goin through it..
This girl was literally on tons of medications, mentally and physically abused, and forced into believing that she really did have all of these medical issues. How are the doctors not held accountable? For giving her all of these unnecessary drugs and treatment. Of course she isn't going to act normally! Sentencing her for 10 years is ridiculous (but being a Missouri resident, many court cases that go on here prove to be corrupt).
The mother was extremely manipulative. She was bound and determined to have medical treatments and she also has that medical knowledge, so she could twist everything around.
The doctors that knew nothing was wrong with Gypsy and had suspicions about Dee Dee had a responsibility to report their suspicions and they didn't. They did nothing and therefore in my opinion they allowed the medical abuse to continue by being so irresponsible in not reporting their suspicions.
DeeDee was not medically abusing her.
That poor girl. Her mother even lied to her about her age! I mean it's horrifying. It isn't surprising that she did what she did. This girl needs real help with everything she has been through. She needs counseling and therapy.
I gotta say, you definitely tell this story the best!!! ❤ Netflix needs to find you!!! Seriously!! You have a gift with telling a story!! GOD Bless you!!! 🙏🏻❤️🥰
She tried to escape but got caught, beaten, and tied to her bed for weeks. I cant even believe that Dee Dee would do this to her own daughter. Gypsy does not deserve jail time, she needs therapy.
I was in prison with Gypsy. Super sweet. Still talks child like like that and seems much younger than she is.
bro wtf, write a book. exploit that shit.
@@elliegilmartin4222 It wasn't that exciting. Lol. There's only 2 female prisons in Mo. So I was only around here until she was done with diagnostics n sent to Chillicothe. She does talk n seem like shes 12 tho just like on the Hulu series.
wow u could def make like a video or be interviewed on that
Well she wasn't really educated and was protected
:(♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
So when Gypsy gets out of jail at 33, her free life will finally start. So sad.
nicolinajuliette Her sentenced was shorten to 6 years i think
It might be good for her in jail.
She has support, counselling, schooling and so on. So when she comes out at least she'll be ready for it.
rebecca finn You are so positive. You're right, she could really get the help she needs.
Prince Peaches I watched her dr phil, it really seems like she is improving so much and is very remorseful
Like you said, why didn't any of the doctors ever intervene?! How was she given such extreme treatment with no proof of illness! Absolutely scandalous!! They should have been on trial too. 😤😤😤
I think everyone would want to kill their mother in this situation. Gypsy was tortured by her own mother, drugged and brainwashed. She couldn't seek help because she was told nobody will believe her. She was scared. Mentally and physically abused. I think she shouldn't end up in jail, maybe in a mental hospital.
Irresi true
But you wouldnt be here without here mom so it’s confusing
@@chiscito7622 its not confusing at all? the mother was abusive
