Hey everyone, sorry I was gone so long! I’m glad to be back. I wanted to say sorry about the audio quality this week, I know it isn't the best. We are working to find a solution ASAP!
I know, that seems so cruel. Even if there isn't a threat of abuse or murder, I would think it would be very psychologically damaging to force a child to be around someone they are scared of or uncomfortable with. The well-being of the child should always be paramount in these decisions, not just the feelings of the parents.
Kids need to be listened to and it should be investigated when they don’t want to visit the other parent. However, it’s not that simple because it could be the rotten parent that’s successful in alienating them from the good parent. Then you have a case of the kid being removed from the good parent who now has no chance of maintaining that relationship. It gets messy. It should definitely be investigated though.
@@coyoter9691 as a kid who was forced to go through it, yes it is extremely damaging. I had debilitating anxiety, extreme social issues, depression, and suicidal tendencies that I still struggle with years after that situation ended. I don’t think any child or any person should ever have to go through that. This case proves that not only is it detrimental to the child’s health but also a danger to their safety and their life.
@@ellaboehme6748 exactly! i put my foot down for myself at 16, it’s been almost ten years and i still have tons of trauma from it all. it severely impacted my personality and who i grew up to be. we should look into why kids don’t want to be with certain people. kids deserve so much more protection
We need "Dylan's Law" - a law that protects children who voice their opinion that they don't wish to spend time with a parent, who may be abusive. Dylan didn't want to spend time with his Dad. If Dylan would have been allowed freedom of choice not to visit his Dad, he would possibly still be alive!!!
Exactly!!! I was just going to post this exact thing! When a child doesn't want to spend time with someone there's a reason. We see this over and over. The courts need to listen. Especially when this opinion was shared by his older sibling.
100% Dylan's Law needs to be a thing. I'm sick of hearing stories about kids who don't want to go, but they're forced to. Like.. There's a damn reason they don't want to!
I agree. When my kids didn't want to go with their dad (I had found out so much during our divorce the kids never told me) I kept them in the house even though my lawyer told me I would be violating the court order and could be taken to jail... Take me to jail. My kids are not going. They are older now and still have nothing to do with him. This really does need to be a law.
so disgusting that the courts can force a child to spend time w a parent they clearly are scared of. and if his mother had kept him home, she would have been arrested. so heartbreaking
I mean he said he didn't like his father, not that he was scared of him. Sounded like normal teen angst bullshit, son who hates his father cause his father was never around
@@broadwaybutterfly310 it's nothing normal about the pictures he saw of his father, he most definitely didn't mind or want to spend one second with him,..
@@moondust9652 the pictures mean nothing when they didn't tell anyone about them. Again. the courts had no reason to believe he was AFRAID of his dad. No where in this video does it ever say Dylan was afraid. He didn't want to spend time with his dad. He had 0 respect for his dad, especially after those photos. But that doesn't mean he feared his dad or felt like he was in danger. There was no sign that his dad would ever hurt his kids which is why he was given visitation in the first place
Update if anyone is watching this in October like me and missed Kendall's tweet update: Mark Redwine was sentenced to 48 years in prison, he will be 107 years old when his prison time is over.
@@augustdreamingg Chance of parole only applies to life sentences, which he wasn't given technically. He was given a set amount of years so he'll be in prison for that sentence. If someone else sees this & I'm mistaken, please correct me! I live in Canada but I tried double checking this online.
if the child doesn’t want to see a parent after divorce, there’s probably a reason. it sucks that children aren’t taken seriously just because they’re minors. children in divorce are the biggest piece of the puzzle.
Parental alienation is a big risk if you don't have a close look at the individual situation, children are so often manipulated by some parent. BUT I agree that once that suspicion is out of the way kids should be taken seriously. No kid should be forced to see anyone.
@@TheNinnyfee Agreed 100%. Also, child should not be kept away from a loving parent because an adult had a grudge against that parent. Many children are used as pawns when adults have issues with one another. I've seen this happen to a family member who didn't have the financial resources of her late husband's family. That is why I commend Kendall for her support of Her Justice. There are women out there that need help and support. Thank you Kendall.
If I had known those pictures had existed it’s no way I would have sent my son to him! 😡🤬 I have to believe his mother did not know this side of his fAther and still let him go with him…I will finish watching the rest of the video
Even as a minor he shouldn’t have been forced to visit. Or as the mom if my child felt that strong about not being there I would have stayed with them during the visit 💕
Unfortunately that's not always true. Sometimes parents can bad mouth and lie about the other parent to the kid and make the kid not want to be around the other parent or even feel uncomfortable around the parent. It's hard to know the difference, you know? It's hard for the courts to figure out if there's a valid reason for not wanting to be with the parent
@@nicoledoubleyou I agree. I had the same issue. Didn’t want to travel across the state to visit my mom alone at like 8? I ended up moving with my mom during the visit, but to be fair she wasn’t violent like this piece of crap.
@@nicoledoubleyou I agree, because I’ve been in that exact position at the 11-12 years of age myself. Also another factor can be which ever parents home is still their original home, same neighbourhood friends, same school. Kids don’t like change either. Sometimes it’s which ever parent will let them do whatever they want, or get away with what they want, or gives them whatever they want. If the parents aren’t co-parenting well, children aren’t as naive and stupid as people think sometimes they learn to use/manipulate their parents too!
“Dylan WAS the light of my life. He MEANT everything to me.” Talking about his son in the past tense…then mentions how the focus shouldn’t be on him but Dylan.
This poor child knew. He literally planned to hang out with his buddy at 6:30am. The sad face when he landed too..I just feel like he knew he wasn't safe. Breaks my heart. Rest peacefully sweetheart
Perhaps!! You're elergic toos you're cats ,as dogs as animals cats dogs have dandruff as follicle s hairs shadings !! As you knows alreadies!! We have inlaws having s problems with animals ECT. You may try it your ownselfs ect.
The dad was talking in past tense during his interview where he says “Dylan WAS the light of my life and he MEANT everything to me” when he was only missing. Isn’t he still the light of your life if he’s still alive out there but missing? Well seems he knows his son is dead. Edit: then it looks like he was trying to make himself cry in the beginning when he says he meant everything to him and he just couldn’t form tears.
Any time someone refers to a missing person in the past tense you know they’re guilty. I know people who have lost loved ones and still refer to them in the present tense sometimes because they struggle with having lost them. Unless you killed your kid you wouldn’t refer to them in the past tense because you don’t want to believe they are gone.
I know that everyone thinks past tense means guilty but I don’t automatically think that. When my cat went missing I was doing that. I can see how it looks guilty but I think blood evidence has more merit.
The family courts forced him to go after he told them he didn't want to and his dad was aggressive towards him. Judges need to be held accountable when they do this to children. Believe the kids and mothers when they have proof showing a history of abuse and violence! This pisses me off because it was preventable. His last text was a sad face to his mother. He knew what was coming
Absolutely!! I had commented something similar on Stephanie Harlowe’s video on this case. I don’t understand it!! I really hope these judges are held accountable somehow. They need to start taking what these kids say, seriously. Such a sad case and could’ve been prevented had the judge listened to Dylan 😔
I was also stuck in a horrible situation by a worthless judge. My son was 5 years old and his alcoholic father lost him at an outdoor concert. He was so drunk that my son was nearly kidnapped. Thank God he was smarter than his father (and the judge that forced me to send him) and had a lady with kids call me, and I went to get him. Needless to say he NEVER went again.
AFAIK, the one case of another country granting asylum to a US citizen was a mother running from an insanely abusive ex with her children. She'd lost all rights to them BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN ABUSED BY THE EX. Not because she stayed in an abusive situation. Not because she didn't protect her children. Not because they saw the abuse. Because she had been abused.
I can’t imagine what Elaine is going through. She had no choice but to send her baby to this man and he does that!? I hope her and Dylan’s brothers are able to heal from this eventually..
The fact that he made plans at 6 in the morning, what child do you know that willingly makes plans to get up at 6 something in the morning, that just shows how much he did not want to be in that house The fact that even his lawyer has anger issues
@@rabiespuddings1735 that saying suggests you're saying "Dylan was like his dad" and we all know Dylan was not like his dad because he exposed his dad and is dead because of it. Dylan was very brave to expose his father on his own. But I wish he would of done it with his brother and mother there and not by himself. May Dylans soul forever rest in peace, in Jesus name I pray, amen.
@@amandafight7627 i believe that commenter was saying Mark and his ex-attorney are similar since the original comment mentioned that even Mark’s old attorney was accused of being violent
There is a reason children don’t want to spend time with certain people and it’s cruel and unusual for the courts to force children to spend time with those people. Period. Things like this could be easily avoided if people would just listen to kids when they say they don’t feel comfortable.
Social worker in CO here, unfortunately this would be difficult to accomplish. Parents have visitation rights according most states statutes and even though there are definitely concerning parents out there, a state can’t withhold that right unless the parent has displayed ongoing instability or violence. It’s not a perfect system at all but if the courts allowed children to decide under any circumstance, there would be many parents who don’t get to see their kid’s for unjust reasons like: “Sally said her dad doesn’t let her stay up late so she refuses to go”. They definitely need to look into cases one by one, but the system is too underfunded :(
@@ds5322 'not staying up late' is different to what dylan said though which was it was because of how his dad treated and was abusive towards his mother (maybe a fear he would abuse him too). there should be more exceptions for things like this.
My parents were married and I wasn't afraid of my mom except for her moods swings but I wasn't afraid to challenge her on the other hand I was scared a lot of my dad it's not that simple to keep kids away from parents they're scared of
*** Case Update: *** Mark Redwine was sentenced to 48 years in prison on October 8th. A small justice has been served, though he plans to appeal. “I have trouble remembering a convicted criminal defendant that has shown such an utter lack of remorse for his criminal behavior,” said 6th Judicial District Court Judge Jeffery Wilson, in handing down the maximum penalty.
the second I heard Mark use past tense when referring to his son, not even 13 minutes into the video, it was all over for me. “He WAS the light of my life. He MEANT everything to me.” ☹️
Same! I was like, nope! That kids dead, he literally talked about him in a past tense, he knew Dylan was dead. What made it even more evident is that he then proceeded to speak about Dylan as if he were alive. It's like he forgot he was supposed to talk about Dylan in the present tense at the beginning, because he was talking about whether or not he killed Dylan. Saying he would never kill Dylan he WAS the light of his life and that he MEANT everything to him. He was speaking about him as if he was dead. But then when he moves on to the next question or whatever, he switches to using present tense as if he is then trying to keep up the assumptions that Dylan is alive.
I went to school with Dylan in middle school. Totally remember the search efforts we all put in when he went missing to help find him. Glad he finally got the justice he deserves. RIP Dylan
My thoughts exactly as soon as he started referring to him in the past tense I immediately knew. A parent who truly cares will hang onto hope that their child is still alive, he knew he was gone already.
My father was abusive to my mum and myself and at only age 9 I told the family relationship counsellors and the court that I didn’t want to see my Dad. I was forced to see him every every 2nd weekend because I was a minor who ‘could’ change my mind. It was so traumatic. LISTEN to children.
My daughter was 7 when she came home from a parental visit with glass in her feet, I asked her what happened and she told me Daddy pushed his girlfriend through the door and it broke. I called the family mediator immediately and she said very strongly to me, if you send her back there, I will report you for child endanger, sending a child into a DV situation is a punishable offence. I stopped her from going and got her counselling. I am so grateful to that mediator for stating that way, it showed me a legal way for keeping her safe.
So sorry you've had to go through that but super glad you've made it out of there & are still with us ♥ Kids should never ever have to be forced to see their parent/abuser even though they don't want to, just because they 'could' change their mind later on. That makes absolutely no logical sense! There should be no contact at all, if the child does not agree to it. If they later on, actually & for real, want to have contact to that parent again, for whatever reason, guess what - they can STILL change their mind but didn't have to go through all that additional trauma ffs.. Gaaah the way kids are treated & endagered like that just makes me sick & angry..
Oh my gosh that was my first thought when I heard him talk. Especially how cold he seemed and not very emotional plus when he said I want him back just like everybody else sounded just like Chris.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing! Same narcissist behavior that they both wanted "someone out of the way" no matter who it is because they rationalize the murder in their sick mind. The State needs to listen to children!
Mark is a narcissist. Putting on a red bra & literal shit on his face & then placing that photo on Facebook ? !! If that didn't receive worldwide attention nothing will. Guess he was desperate for friends 😬😂
Dylan’s older brother, Cory actually texted this to Mark after confronting him with the photos. The text supposedly said “You are what you eat, look in the mirror.”
You could tell that the father had something to do with Dylan's disappearance pretty quickly. Not matter the amount of animosity you have with your baby's mom, you wouldn't refuse to speak to them when your son is missing.
Those pictures, they would haunt anyone for life. I can't imagine how Dylan felt. Facing Mark with this evidence shouldn't have ended in murder. Decapitating your own child and scattering his remains for wildlife to feed on, that's the truly morbid and inhuman part. I hope karma catches up with him and it's well known that any prisoner whose been convicted for a crime against a child, is a sure target for the rest of the inmate population
Yes they’ll love his pictures looking like a lady for them. Reap what you sow. Sickening sorry excuse for a human being. How anyone could do that especially to their own child. So damn heartbreaking ❤️🩹
So many people are locked up in prison for the rest of their lives for non-violent offenses who have babies on the outside. Imagine them not being able to see their babies grow and they meet some monster who murdered their own in cold blood?
The pictures of him are horrifying. If I found pictures like that it would really traumatize me. If the father was so embarrassed by what he does he should hide the pictures better.
It's always so telling when they're more devastated from being accused than the endless possibilities of horrible things that could've happened to their kid :\
creeped me right out when he literally said he wanted the attention to not be on him but his son ... the way he worded it just did not sound like a concerned loving parent imho
@@lindleloverwatterson3484 also “I have no idea what it’s about” when he got arrested and the officer mentioned murder. Like really…. Really mark you can’t figure out who it may be about?
I feel real bad for his brother. He probably holds immense guilt about not going on that trip with him. I hope they can all heal now in some way that he has been convicted. 💔💔💔💔
ya but his brother is at fault for not going... i thought that as soon as i heard it. If his younger brother is being forced to go on a plane by himself to his dads house that he hates, what kind of brother ditches his younger bro in a situation like that where you are supposed to have each other’s backs. not to mention they all were witnesses to the father’s domestic VIOLENCE. I know he was 18 but if he was living with the mom she should have absolutely forced him to go or at the very least stay in town. The mother quite frankly should have flown out as well and stayed somewhere else. This whole situation was a mess from the start. The brother not going is so disrespectful. If anyone is reading this don’t be selfish to your siblings, have their back. Anything else is unacceptable.
yeah, how do we know he might’ve tried murdering him too had he went.. One dead son is bad enough :’( I really feel for him and his mother! Heart breaking case, hearing him talk about his brother really brought tears to my eyes.
@@tourmii the half brother Brandon is the one with a wife and kids the brother the commenter above is talking about is his 18 year old brother Cory. Just to be clear I am not fully agreeing with the person above just correcting what you said. Also yes the court is at fault for not investigating why Dylan didn’t want to go see his father, especially with his history of domestic violence.
“Dylan WAS the light of my life” That alone sets off alarms to me. Whether it’s been changed to a suspected recovery mission or not why would you talk about your child in the past tense if you didn’t know for certain they were passed. RIP Dylan ♥️
I grew up with him. My dad coached his baseball team. I can’t even explain the vibe his dad always gave off. Extremely controlling. Thank you for covering this. 🙏
I remember meeting at the park mourning him. This is the first time I’ve searched this case on youtube. It’s scary facing something that happened so close by
kendall i love how you don’t just reiterate the same old serial killer stories we’ve all heard and actually bring awareness to smaller/lesser known cases. and of course how you do so much to help victims. i’ve been watching you for years and you are the best true crime youtuber for sure.
He was arrested in Bellingham, that’s so close to the Canadian Boarder. He could have escaped & never been heard from again. Thank goodness they got him in time
Dylan and I were born in the same year, but he was born two months before me. I’m 23 right now and it’s really scary and heartbreaking to think how Dylan’s future was taken away from him by someone who is supposed to love and care for him
Killing your own kid is literally killing a part of yourself. I just don’t understand. It’s so sad. I just hope Dylan wasn’t in any pain. The family is in my prayers for healing.
I wish that for kids who didn't want to see a parent, that judges would take this into account. I understand that parents may try to bias their child against the other parent to try to get sole custody, but if a child says they don't want to go then it should be supervised visits instead of sending the child alone (especially if said parent has a history of abuse). Boggles my mind that kids are so ignored in favour of the parents when the kids are the most vulnerable of the two.
Right!! They say it's the child's interest, but it's not. It's the parents legal right to get to parent their child, even if they are not able to do so appropriately.
There's a 5 year old girl missing out of Tennessee she has been missing since June . There has been little to no updates in her case . I have watched interviews with her mother and father and I truly believe they know more than they wanna say
It’s such an odd feeling when hearing about a victim who was born the same year as you. When I was 12/13, I had a completely different life that I am so grateful for to this day, meanwhile at the same time, this poor boy was brutally killed by his own father. After all I’ve been through since my early teen years, it makes me so sad he didn’t get to go to high school, college, or do all the fun things teenagers and young adults do. Rest In Peace Dylan!
I understand exactly. I'm 9 months older but my husband is only 1 month and it just makes me so sad, and grateful I was in my situation. Poor Dylan, he desereved so much better 💔
I cannot fathom forcing a child BY LAW to spend time with someone they don’t want to. Are you kidding me? If my daughter didn’t want to meet her dad, they would have to pry her out of my cold, dead arms. Poor Dylan. The system let him down.
I was old enough to escape it as I was turning 18 at the time but my siblings (in Colorado) are being made to spend time with our mother even though she's incredibly verbally, mentally, and sometimes even physically abusive. The divorce system rarely if ever takes the child's wants into consideration.
Yup and they jail the parent who doesn't allow the court ordered visit for contempt. If a child is saying they don't want to see a particular parent questions need to be asked not just force the kid.
It's not that unusual at all. If there's no reason (as in a risk) provided then it's normal. Children say they don't want to do things all the time that's rarely an acceptable reason. Clearly the mother didn't really believe there was a risk either or she would've raised safety issues with the police and court beforehand
My dads girlfriends kid has a shitty dad she’s forced to spend time with him cuz the judge favours the dad over the mom. The kid is 15 now and is still forced to wear clothes she doesn’t want and her dads gf is tryna make her call her mom even though she’s not her mom. Custody court is bullshit
I'm sure both Dylan's mother and brother let him leave on that trip with a heavy heart. I cannot imagine being just a kid and forced to go on your own miles away in a remote area and spend time with an adult you despise and maybe fear. This story is just heartbreaking.
makes it make a lot more sense when you hear of people being held in contempt for not sending their child off-- sometimes a mom just knows what's best. Such a terrible ending.
Kendall!! I went to middle school with Dylan before he went missing. We had home room together. 🧡 it means everything’s that you finally covered this case. Our tiny home town is finally feeling some justice. We all knew that POS killed our friend and had to wait seven years for justice for Dylan. Love you so much.
I am from Bayfield CO and saw all this happen. The story was huge in our town. It was so sad what happened to Dylan. We definitely need justice for Dylan!💛🧡
It is Absolutely devastating… I am from Durango as well. I remember seeing the missing posters all over town. It’s truly unfathomable that a person could even commit such a heinous act. He seemed like such a sweet boy. He is in a better place now. Rest In Peace Dylan❤️
I also went to middle school with Dylan and since its been quite a few years since then if I remember correctly I also shared a home room with him. He was an awesome, funny, intelligent kid who got along with everyone and I was so devasted when I learned he was missing.
I can't imagine the survivors guilt Corey must feel. I hope him and his mama have a good support system for themselves! I say survivors because Corey was able to choose whether or not to go. The court system (family) is extremely broken and this should have never happened.
IMO if a child hates their parent THAT much- that should be taken for consideration in custody cases. A child shouldn't be forced to spend time with a parent they can't stand being around. That's not ok. Especially if the other parent's home is safe and happy and they enjoy being there.
Exactly he was obviously very fearful of him & begged not to go. What a horrible situation for the mother to have to send him. And then the horrific way he died. This story haunts me. I love my children so much. Whosever “made” that court order should be partly held accountable to imo. That poor child thinking of the terror haunts me.
Except that's not how it happened. There was no indication - to the court - that the father was unstable or violent. It's very easy to make this strawman argument in hindsight but the fact of the matter is in the majority of cases children don't turn up dead. Often there can be bad blood because of a messy divorce which biases children towards one parent or the other and has reflects in no way on their parenting skills/love of their child and the child goes on to have a positive relationship with both parents. Also you're forgetting that often in situations like this one parent can poison the child against the other. Then there are other considerations, does the child not want to visit the other parent for superficial reasons? (maybe one parent is wealthier and has more 'fun' things like computer games/cars/pools etc). What if one parent is just stricter and the other lets them get away with bad behaviour? It's a complicated issue.
@@Red1Green2Blue3 I agree with you. I'm just expressing my frustrations over this case entirely. I think one dead child, though be it rare, is one too many.
@@Red1Green2Blue3 except there’s history there with two other sons who refused to even speak to their father. If force or pressure has to be applied for compliance then anyone with an i.q of a rock would see this is a man who is unable to maintain familial relationships
@@Red1Green2Blue3 And yet the father murdered his own child. A child whom expressed severe dislike about being in the presence of his father. But go ahead, stand on the courts opinion.
Such a beautiful child. Sick s.o.b. should be injected and done away with. Why should tax payers have to flit the bill to keep this sick ass hole alive and well. I hope the other inmates beat the "sh_ _") 😐 out of him or whatever else they do to him.
It is such evil that parents murder their children, this happens daily -- abortions are commited daily, globally. There are evil people promoting, justifying, and glorifying this immorality.
@@יהוהיהושוע-כ3ר hey I don’t mean to be rude but let’s not turn this into a religious/ political discussion okay? Let’s stay on topic with the video. Please and thank you!
"I don't want the focus to be on me"yeah because you killed your son 🤬🤬🤬 watching parents give interviews about their missing children when they know full well they murdered them makes me so sick and so angry. The courts failed this child, it could have been prevented had they not forced the visit. I hope it eats at the judge every single day 🤷♀️
He was referring to his son in the past tense. You do that when you know they're dead because you did it. If he hasn't been found yet, you refer in the present tense. Psychopath.
On the Dr Phil show Mark literally tried to blame Elaine for going to his house taking Dylan out and killing him just to frame him (Mark). He’s disgusting. That first interview you showed with Mark he referred to Dylan in the past tense.
@@Mira-jj6du yeah no need to be angry at a child. there was absolutely nothing he could’ve done to change what happened. when you comment things, imagine the family of the victims seeing it. please be more respectful.
Clear Blue I was thinking the same thing. I kind of thought it was shitty that he didn’t go at the beginning of the video but then I kept telling myself that he could never have predicted that it would end so tragically. However, it really bothered me when it was revealed that he was the one that found the pictures on his dads laptop and then showed Dylan. Obviously that made him hate his dad more and he chose not to go see him. I think it’s sad that despite knowing these things he didn’t feel protective enough of his brother and just let him go by himself. I know it’s not his brothers fault. I really do but I find it sad that he Dylan ended up there alone.
@@Weadessewell obviously any of these situations are incredible tragic. understanding that no one could’ve changed anything is the first step is actual grief for the family. and when random people following the case put out hateful comments blaming family members. it’s stupid. blame the man that murdered it son. you were being respectful i apologize for getting heated lol but i had something like this happen in my family and blame shifting will mess people up mentally.
@@Weadessewell they’re siblings. I have a best friend who I consider my sister, and I tell her everything. Even my brother in the past, we would talk shit about our parents whenever we were upset with them. They are kids and siblings, and that’s exactly what they were acting like by sharing those photos and trashing their bum of a dad. You have hindsight on your side and zero involvement with the family members, so it’s easy for you to get on your high horse and act like you’d do things differently. Not just you, but many people on here trying to act like Corey is somehow to blame at all. Disrespectful af.
OR, the courts should stop making children visit someone *they don’t want to see* I don’t care if it’s the mother or father, usually there’s a very good reason they DON’T want to see them. It shouldn’t be forced on the child. It’s disgusting.
The hardest part of this whole thing is that Dylan didn’t want to go there in the first place and then ended having to go alone! if a child doesn’t feel safe going somewhere then it should not be court ordered!
This kid was THIRTEEN. A Judge should know if a kid that age does not want to see a parent especially a father? There is probably a good reason. Our entire judicial system needs a complete overhaul. They are either corrupt or just don't care.
i haven’t been able to forget dylan’s story since i first heard it around 5 years ago. his story is so eerie to me because my dad is also a truck driver and my parents were also married for 18 years. the end of his life also happened the day of my 6th birthday. i have a special place in my heart for dylan and his family. i hope he’s doing everything he’s ever wanted to do up in heaven and i hope he knows everyone cares for him and is thinking of him always
Here’s my opinion: He’s guilty on all counts, lying to everyone, his mom had a strong gut feeling, the way he acted in interviews, not to mention that bogus fake crying, Dylan clearly was afraid of him, mark basically premeditated the murder of his own son, he told his ex wife where he could hide a body in the woods, threatened to kill her kids, etc. He definitely killed his son 100%, he’s a piece of shit that should not get out of prison
It makes me sad thinking about the older brother not going with him bc he is probably living with so much guilt. It’s not his fault, so hopefully he isn’t. Such a sad story. 😔
As someone with 4 younger siblings, I can almost guarentee he feels guilty for not going, clearly I can't speak for him but I know if I were in his shoes I would be feeling awful. And he shouldn't, he couldn't have known. Their father ruined so many lives by taking Dylan's, including his older son.
Survivors guilt is something I would never wish on anyone. My dearest friend was murdered at a restaurant we both worked at. I was supposed to be working the closing shift but I had my schedule changed. If I had worked my original shift I would have been there.
The fact that his last text to his mom was letting her know he’d arrived with a frownie face is so heartbreaking…seeing him on the airport surveillance camera is so chilling knowing those were his last hours. As a mother, I’d never be able to live with the guilt of having to send him on that plane.
I just hope the brother who didn’t go to his dad’s doesn’t put himself through survivor’s guilt. He doesn’t deserve that and he did nothing wrong. Same with the mom
I teared up when Dylan's mother was talking about him and also his brother, when he said Dylan was someone he always exepected to be there and now he wasn't 😭
Yeah it's really rough to lose a sibling. You grow up with them, and then suddenly they're gone and it's so hard to live with that. People overlook how hard it is for siblings, everyone usually focuses on how hard it is for parents to lose a child. And it IS really hard for parents. But it's really hard for siblings, too.
The dad literally fake cried for all of 2 seconds and then went straight on to talking about what HE'S doing and how HE feels. He also spoke in past tense about Dylan but Dylan's mother spoke about Dylan in present tense...
I could see a parent talking about a child in past tense if it had been month.. and they don’t know cause the person hasn’t been there butttt in days no no no..
We spend so much time telling kids to stay away from ppl that make them uncomfortable or scare them but then we force them to be around toxic abusive parents and don’t think twice about it , if this was a stranger and he felt this way we would’ve done absolutely anything we could to keep him safe , let’s normalize kids being able to have a voice in these life choices , he shouldn’t have been forced to be around mark this poor kid knew deep down he would be a victim of his own father 😔
This case is absolutely terrifying… my heart goes out to Dylan’s family. God there are horrible people in this world and it was pretty obvious Mark is one of them from the get go. How a family court failed to see that in the first place is a scary thing to realize.
I’m so frustrated with the fact that people always fail the children in cases like this. The courts, CPS, etc. If a child doesn’t want to be around one parent, why the hell would you force them to do so? Why not investigate or take the child seriously??? This is honestly heartbreaking and gets my blood boiling
I agree, if a child doesn’t want to go with one parent, there is a reason. Too often the courts ignore the child’s wishes without even looking into why the child feels that way.
I really fail to understand what benefit visitation would have had? Dylan disliked his dad (Mark didn't even bother trying to salvage the relationship which shows he felt meh too about the whole thing) and this along with the fact that Mark was violent should've raised major red flags.
Right? We’re like biologically programmed to love our parents, so when a kid doesn’t want to be near their parent it should be taken seriously 😔 this story is so sad.
@@JLynnEchelon i was thinking the same. i was surprised it wasn’t brought up, like yeah he could’ve found it in the trash but what the fuck is this dude doing in his spare time????
I mean I see this type of comments on this video, and I understand where you guys are coming from. But you can’t prove anything from that. If your son ran away you would speak of him in the present tense? I don’t get this, because I would speak of him in the past tense because he isn’t present. It doesn’t mean he knew he was dead. I just don’t get it……
@@baitroyale6070 no , its not normal to refer to someone in the past tense while they're missing. My cat escaped went missing the other night and i kept saying "i just want her back" " where could she be" "how could i have let this happen" "why did i leave the door open". Thats just one example and its my CAT. Its not normal lol
@@baitroyale6070 if you friend goes on vacation do you speak of them in the past tense? Like, ‘My friend was such a good person I wish I could see them again.’ Assuming not as that would be weird. Even weirder when your kid is missing and could be alive out there somewhere.
@Bait Royale That's all well & good but taking into account the whole interview, he was lying throughout very obviously. That, & speaking of Dylan in the past tense, tells us everything.
The courts failed Dylan by forcing him to stay and visit with a man he hated - you don't just have the right to visitation you earn it -prior to that thanksgiving he HAD not earned it- the laws need to change when a parent is known to be violent toward a spouse or child - that child should be allowed to chose what type of visits he/she can tolerate - shame of the system !!
If a kid doesn't want to be with their parent, they shouldn't have to! There is probably a reason. The system is supposed to protect kids, but all too frequently it enables abusers. It's atrocious!
I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It’s very hard to live life on a schedule when you can’t predict flare ups. I’m glad you are taking time for yourself bc that’s most important! ❤️
I wish that lawyer had fought harder for them instead of scaring the mom with "contempt of court". My daughter has flat refused to see her father since age 12 and I don't make her go. He is a drunk and a toxic narcissist. Nothing has ever happened, the court said she's old enough to choose. The system should UNIFORMLY honor the wishes of children. He stopped paying child support out of spite. I don't care.
if he's so mad about not seeing his daughter then why did he stop paying child support? that just shows he doesn't care about her or seeing her, he's just angry because he didn't have his way, I'm so glad the court system was on your daughter's side and didn't force her to spend time with a man she didn't want to see, hope you and your daughter are well!
I was in the same situation as a teen. Court didn’t force me to visit my father. This should have been the situation with Dylan. Poor kid would still be alive today :(
Same here. My son is 14 and not once asked about his dad. Even if he did I wouldn't be the wall between him and his dad and he could care less. I'm not going to push him. When he's ready to know more or want to see him then he'll let me know but in the mean time I'm not saying anything.
@@calupoh9788 Thank you! It was a way to get back at me (so he thought). He doesn't even buy her Christmas or birthday presents but tries to guilt trip her though text 🙄 (before I put a stop to that too). Her mental health has improved dramatically now that we've gone no contact. He has other older children who also refuse to see him and I'm seriously concerned for the two young kids he has (6 kids in all). He's a horribly manipulative, neglectful, selfish man-child who doesn't deserve children. He seemed normal when I married him but then he started drinking and drugging and that was it. I feel like I failed her by thinking he would be a good dad.
Mark's use of past tense when referring to Dylan in his interview while he was still missing is a tell-tale sign. "He WAS the light of my life and he MEANT everything to me."
This just breaks my heart. He didn’t want to see him. The court system fails so many kids that way. Children have the same rights as adults, to be heard and to decide who they want to see.
it pisses me off so much the way the courts waffle on about "the best interests for the child" and then fail children spectacularly time and time again 😡😡😡
As a single parent, this is devastating on many different levels. The mom had no reasonable choice and this needs to be changed. If he was going to run away, he would have run away while at his mother's house. A man with a violent past should not have been granted unsupervised visitation.
Can I just say it's amazing u tell people what chronic illness you have. Love your personality. You being so outgoing makes me comfortable that you are the 1 telling other people's stories.
Did anyone else catch Mark talking about Dylan in the past tense during his interview-an interview taken during active searches for a live child? That is a HUGE red flag
His mama is a total badass. It’s sad to know that Dylan maybe had a feeling that something bad might happen to him, it’s human nature to dread something we know doesn’t feel 100% right. Ugh, just a horribly sad story.
Kendall, you take whatever time you need. We’ll be here when you get back. Love you, girl! Edit: IMO, those pictures pushed him over the edge and he killed his son.

Personal opinion: don’t court order children to spend time with people they’re uncomfortable with; it just seems so obvious 😭
I know, that seems so cruel. Even if there isn't a threat of abuse or murder, I would think it would be very psychologically damaging to force a child to be around someone they are scared of or uncomfortable with. The well-being of the child should always be paramount in these decisions, not just the feelings of the parents.
I agree but it get complicated when parents lie to children to make them think the other parent is wrong or evil. It happens all the time.
Kids need to be listened to and it should be investigated when they don’t want to visit the other parent. However, it’s not that simple because it could be the rotten parent that’s successful in alienating them from the good parent. Then you have a case of the kid being removed from the good parent who now has no chance of maintaining that relationship. It gets messy. It should definitely be investigated though.
@@coyoter9691 as a kid who was forced to go through it, yes it is extremely damaging. I had debilitating anxiety, extreme social issues, depression, and suicidal tendencies that I still struggle with years after that situation ended. I don’t think any child or any person should ever have to go through that. This case proves that not only is it detrimental to the child’s health but also a danger to their safety and their life.
@@ellaboehme6748 exactly! i put my foot down for myself at 16, it’s been almost ten years and i still have tons of trauma from it all. it severely impacted my personality and who i grew up to be. we should look into why kids don’t want to be with certain people. kids deserve so much more protection
We need "Dylan's Law" - a law that protects children who voice their opinion that they don't wish to spend time with a parent, who may be abusive. Dylan didn't want to spend time with his Dad.
If Dylan would have been allowed freedom of choice not to visit his Dad, he would possibly still be alive!!!
This is so true❤️
Exactly!!! I was just going to post this exact thing! When a child doesn't want to spend time with someone there's a reason. We see this over and over. The courts need to listen. Especially when this opinion was shared by his older sibling.
Yes!
100% Dylan's Law needs to be a thing. I'm sick of hearing stories about kids who don't want to go, but they're forced to. Like.. There's a damn reason they don't want to!
I agree. When my kids didn't want to go with their dad (I had found out so much during our divorce the kids never told me) I kept them in the house even though my lawyer told me I would be violating the court order and could be taken to jail... Take me to jail. My kids are not going. They are older now and still have nothing to do with him. This really does need to be a law.
so disgusting that the courts can force a child to spend time w a parent they clearly are scared of. and if his mother had kept him home, she would have been arrested. so heartbreaking
When a kid is scared of someone, is for good reasons, their guts feeling and senses are more sensitive and intense than of an adult
People should ask questions and look into it when a child says they're afraid of or don't want to be around someone even if it's a parent
I mean he said he didn't like his father, not that he was scared of him. Sounded like normal teen angst bullshit, son who hates his father cause his father was never around
@@broadwaybutterfly310 it's nothing normal about the pictures he saw of his father, he most definitely didn't mind or want to spend one second with him,..
@@moondust9652 the pictures mean nothing when they didn't tell anyone about them. Again. the courts had no reason to believe he was AFRAID of his dad. No where in this video does it ever say Dylan was afraid. He didn't want to spend time with his dad. He had 0 respect for his dad, especially after those photos. But that doesn't mean he feared his dad or felt like he was in danger. There was no sign that his dad would ever hurt his kids which is why he was given visitation in the first place
Update if anyone is watching this in October like me and missed Kendall's tweet update: Mark Redwine was sentenced to 48 years in prison, he will be 107 years old when his prison time is over.
Chance of parole?
@@augustdreamingg Chance of parole only applies to life sentences, which he wasn't given technically. He was given a set amount of years so he'll be in prison for that sentence.
If someone else sees this & I'm mistaken, please correct me! I live in Canada but I tried double checking this online.
Thanks for giving the update.
well deserved
Oh hell yea 😎
if the child doesn’t want to see a parent after divorce, there’s probably a reason. it sucks that children aren’t taken seriously just because they’re minors. children in divorce are the biggest piece of the puzzle.
Children have hardly any say or power or a bigger word being seniority, is seriously lacking.
Parental alienation is a big risk if you don't have a close look at the individual situation, children are so often manipulated by some parent. BUT I agree that once that suspicion is out of the way kids should be taken seriously. No kid should be forced to see anyone.
@@TheNinnyfee Agreed 100%. Also, child should not be kept away from a loving parent because an adult had a grudge against that parent. Many children are used as pawns when adults have issues with one another. I've seen this happen to a family member who didn't have the financial resources of her late husband's family. That is why I commend Kendall for her support of Her Justice. There are women out there that need help and support. Thank you Kendall.
If I had known those pictures had existed it’s no way I would have sent my son to him! 😡🤬 I have to believe his mother did not know this side of his fAther and still let him go with him…I will finish watching the rest of the video
Even as a minor he shouldn’t have been forced to visit. Or as the mom if my child felt that strong about not being there I would have stayed with them during the visit 💕
If a child doesn’t want to be around one parent, there is probably a good reason and they shouldn’t be forced to be with that parent.
Right! I wish the courts would listen to a child when they voice this. It's really wrong to force them.
it’s not even like he was just getting to know his dad for the first time in his life. he didn’t want to be near his dad because he knew his dad
Unfortunately that's not always true. Sometimes parents can bad mouth and lie about the other parent to the kid and make the kid not want to be around the other parent or even feel uncomfortable around the parent. It's hard to know the difference, you know? It's hard for the courts to figure out if there's a valid reason for not wanting to be with the parent
@@nicoledoubleyou I agree. I had the same issue. Didn’t want to travel across the state to visit my mom alone at like 8? I ended up moving with my mom during the visit, but to be fair she wasn’t violent like this piece of crap.
@@nicoledoubleyou I agree, because I’ve been in that exact position at the 11-12 years of age myself. Also another factor can be which ever parents home is still their original home, same neighbourhood friends, same school. Kids don’t like change either. Sometimes it’s which ever parent will let them do whatever they want, or get away with what they want, or gives them whatever they want. If the parents aren’t co-parenting well, children aren’t as naive and stupid as people think sometimes they learn to use/manipulate their parents too!
“Dylan WAS the light of my life. He MEANT everything to me.”
Talking about his son in the past tense…then mentions how the focus shouldn’t be on him but Dylan.
as soon as i heard this i believed he was involved
Shady af
I think bc the police said they probably weren’t looking for a runaway
Exactly, he knows he is dead😔
I have a possibility that he was also gana kill cory for showing dylan something
This poor child knew. He literally planned to hang out with his buddy at 6:30am. The sad face when he landed too..I just feel like he knew he wasn't safe. Breaks my heart. Rest peacefully sweetheart
literally its so heartbreaking
Perhaps!! You're elergic toos you're cats ,as dogs as animals cats dogs have dandruff as follicle s hairs shadings !! As you knows alreadies!! We have inlaws having s problems with animals ECT. You may try it your ownselfs ect.
The dad was talking in past tense during his interview where he says “Dylan WAS the light of my life and he MEANT everything to me” when he was only missing. Isn’t he still the light of your life if he’s still alive out there but missing? Well seems he knows his son is dead.
Edit: then it looks like he was trying to make himself cry in the beginning when he says he meant everything to him and he just couldn’t form tears.
I noticed this instantly too... super suspicious
He also nods his head like you would when signaling no
Any time someone refers to a missing person in the past tense you know they’re guilty. I know people who have lost loved ones and still refer to them in the present tense sometimes because they struggle with having lost them. Unless you killed your kid you wouldn’t refer to them in the past tense because you don’t want to believe they are gone.
I know that everyone thinks past tense means guilty but I don’t automatically think that. When my cat went missing I was doing that. I can see how it looks guilty but I think blood evidence has more merit.
He was struggling to get those fake tears out!
The family courts forced him to go after he told them he didn't want to and his dad was aggressive towards him. Judges need to be held accountable when they do this to children. Believe the kids and mothers when they have proof showing a history of abuse and violence! This pisses me off because it was preventable. His last text was a sad face to his mother. He knew what was coming
Absolutely!! I had commented something similar on Stephanie Harlowe’s video on this case. I don’t understand it!! I really hope these judges are held accountable somehow. They need to start taking what these kids say, seriously. Such a sad case and could’ve been prevented had the judge listened to Dylan 😔
He is sadly one of MANY kids who have been FAIlED severely by the system.
I was also stuck in a horrible situation by a worthless judge. My son was 5 years old and his alcoholic father lost him at an outdoor concert. He was so drunk that my son was nearly kidnapped. Thank God he was smarter than his father (and the judge that forced me to send him) and had a lady with kids call me, and I went to get him. Needless to say he NEVER went again.
A judge should never EVER make a child go with a parent they don’t want to be with
AFAIK, the one case of another country granting asylum to a US citizen was a mother running from an insanely abusive ex with her children. She'd lost all rights to them BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN ABUSED BY THE EX.
Not because she stayed in an abusive situation. Not because she didn't protect her children. Not because they saw the abuse.
Because she had been abused.
I can’t imagine what Elaine is going through. She had no choice but to send her baby to this man and he does that!? I hope her and Dylan’s brothers are able to heal from this eventually..
The fact that he made plans at 6 in the morning, what child do you know that willingly makes plans to get up at 6 something in the morning, that just shows how much he did not want to be in that house
The fact that even his lawyer has anger issues
He was horrified and scared :(
That boy probably didn’t even sleep while staying there. His level is anxiety was probably keeping him up stressed all night.
Birds of a feather flock together as the saying goes.....
@@rabiespuddings1735 that saying suggests you're saying "Dylan was like his dad" and we all know Dylan was not like his dad because he exposed his dad and is dead because of it. Dylan was very brave to expose his father on his own. But I wish he would of done it with his brother and mother there and not by himself. May Dylans soul forever rest in peace, in Jesus name I pray, amen.
@@amandafight7627 i believe that commenter was saying Mark and his ex-attorney are similar since the original comment mentioned that even Mark’s old attorney was accused of being violent
There is a reason children don’t want to spend time with certain people and it’s cruel and unusual for the courts to force children to spend time with those people. Period. Things like this could be easily avoided if people would just listen to kids when they say they don’t feel comfortable.
honestly the court failed this kid. children deserve consent too. if a child desperately doesn't want to go somewhere, please LISTEN to them.
At the same time parental alienation is more common than physical abuse.
But at 12.. that’s questionable
Social worker in CO here, unfortunately this would be difficult to accomplish. Parents have visitation rights according most states statutes and even though there are definitely concerning parents out there, a state can’t withhold that right unless the parent has displayed ongoing instability or violence. It’s not a perfect system at all but if the courts allowed children to decide under any circumstance, there would be many parents who don’t get to see their kid’s for unjust reasons like: “Sally said her dad doesn’t let her stay up late so she refuses to go”. They definitely need to look into cases one by one, but the system is too underfunded :(
Exactly. If a child doesn't want to spend time with an adult, there's a reason.
@@ds5322 'not staying up late' is different to what dylan said though which was it was because of how his dad treated and was abusive towards his mother (maybe a fear he would abuse him too). there should be more exceptions for things like this.
My heart breaks for his momma and brothers. Hey Judges: don’t FORCE kids to be with adults they are afraid of.
CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
My parents were married and I wasn't afraid of my mom except for her moods swings but I wasn't afraid to challenge her on the other hand I was scared a lot of my dad it's not that simple to keep kids away from parents they're scared of
Amen!!
Having to make my kids go every other weekend is scary, nauseating, heartbreaking. All I can do is pray.
“I want the focus to remain on Dylan”

*** Case Update: ***
Mark Redwine was sentenced to 48 years in prison on October 8th. A small justice has been served, though he plans to appeal.
“I have trouble remembering a convicted criminal defendant that has shown such an utter lack of remorse for his criminal behavior,” said 6th Judicial District Court Judge Jeffery Wilson, in handing down the maximum penalty.
the second I heard Mark use past tense when referring to his son, not even 13 minutes into the video, it was all over for me. “He WAS the light of my life. He MEANT everything to me.” ☹️
That's the first thing I noticed too!
Same! I was like, nope! That kids dead, he literally talked about him in a past tense, he knew Dylan was dead. What made it even more evident is that he then proceeded to speak about Dylan as if he were alive. It's like he forgot he was supposed to talk about Dylan in the present tense at the beginning, because he was talking about whether or not he killed Dylan. Saying he would never kill Dylan he WAS the light of his life and that he MEANT everything to him. He was speaking about him as if he was dead. But then when he moves on to the next question or whatever, he switches to using present tense as if he is then trying to keep up the assumptions that Dylan is alive.

Yeah heard it as well, totally sus!
I went to school with Dylan in middle school. Totally remember the search efforts we all put in when he went missing to help find him. Glad he finally got the justice he deserves. RIP Dylan

@@kimdimond5788 exactlyyy
My thoughts exactly as soon as he started referring to him in the past tense I immediately knew. A parent who truly cares will hang onto hope that their child is still alive, he knew he was gone already.
I said that when I heard it
My father was abusive to my mum and myself and at only age 9 I told the family relationship counsellors and the court that I didn’t want to see my Dad. I was forced to see him every every 2nd weekend because I was a minor who ‘could’ change my mind. It was so traumatic. LISTEN to children.
My daughter was 7 when she came home from a parental visit with glass in her feet, I asked her what happened and she told me Daddy pushed his girlfriend through the door and it broke. I called the family mediator immediately and she said very strongly to me, if you send her back there, I will report you for child endanger, sending a child into a DV situation is a punishable offence. I stopped her from going and got her counselling. I am so grateful to that mediator for stating that way, it showed me a legal way for keeping her safe.
I am sorry you had to go through that I am glad that you are okay or at least working towards it.
So sorry you've had to go through that but super glad you've made it out of there & are still with us ♥
Kids should never ever have to be forced to see their parent/abuser even though they don't want to, just because they 'could' change their mind later on. That makes absolutely no logical sense!
There should be no contact at all, if the child does not agree to it. If they later on, actually & for real, want to have contact to that parent again, for whatever reason, guess what - they can STILL change their mind but didn't have to go through all that additional trauma ffs.. Gaaah the way kids are treated & endagered like that just makes me sick & angry..

You could tell that the father had something to do with Dylan's disappearance pretty quickly. Not matter the amount of animosity you have with your baby's mom, you wouldn't refuse to speak to them when your son is missing.
Those pictures, they would haunt anyone for life. I can't imagine how Dylan felt. Facing Mark with this evidence shouldn't have ended in murder. Decapitating your own child and scattering his remains for wildlife to feed on, that's the truly morbid and inhuman part. I hope karma catches up with him and it's well known that any prisoner whose been convicted for a crime against a child, is a sure target for the rest of the inmate population
Yes they’ll love his pictures looking like a lady for them. Reap what you sow. Sickening sorry excuse for a human being. How anyone could do that especially to their own child. So damn heartbreaking ❤️🩹
This "Mark" has been passing as a human!!!
So many people are locked up in prison for the rest of their lives for non-violent offenses who have babies on the outside. Imagine them not being able to see their babies grow and they meet some monster who murdered their own in cold blood?
Right
The pictures of him are horrifying. If I found pictures like that it would really traumatize me. If the father was so embarrassed by what he does he should hide the pictures better.

I know he was 18 but if he was living with the mom she should have absolutely forced him to go or at the very least stay in town. The mother quite frankly should have flown out as well and stayed somewhere else. This whole situation was a mess from the start. The brother not going is so disrespectful. If anyone is reading this don’t be selfish to your siblings, have their back. Anything else is unacceptable.

I remember meeting at the park mourning him. This is the first time I’ve searched this case on youtube. It’s scary facing something that happened so close by
kendall i love how you don’t just reiterate the same old serial killer stories we’ve all heard and actually bring awareness to smaller/lesser known cases. and of course how you do so much to help victims. i’ve been watching you for years and you are the best true crime youtuber for sure.
Agreed.
He was arrested in Bellingham, that’s so close to the Canadian Boarder. He could have escaped & never been heard from again. Thank goodness they got him in time
Damn that's crazy, I live in bellingham. I'm glad they caught him
Yikes! 🇨🇦 we have tons of wilderness lands where he could have disappeared! SO glad for everyone that he was caught
@@mayaarnott1927 ahhh, I lived in Bellingham for 6 months when I was a teen and I miss it so much. probably the most beautiful place i've ever seen
TIL: he was arrested two streets over from where I live 😬
from canada, the rcmp would surely corroberate with the fbi
Dylan and I were born in the same year, but he was born two months before me. I’m 23 right now and it’s really scary and heartbreaking to think how Dylan’s future was taken away from him by someone who is supposed to love and care for him
Killing your own kid is literally killing a part of yourself. I just don’t understand. It’s so sad. I just hope Dylan wasn’t in any pain. The family is in my prayers for healing.
Side note: your cat sleeping in the background is so precious.
might’ve attempted to pet my screen lol
I came here to comment the same thing what an angel 👼 sometimes her dog sleeps behind her too
Ikr❤❤❤
Same. Such a cute kitty and sweet kitty. Obviously loves her so much
That kept me sane throughout the video.
I wish that for kids who didn't want to see a parent, that judges would take this into account. I understand that parents may try to bias their child against the other parent to try to get sole custody, but if a child says they don't want to go then it should be supervised visits instead of sending the child alone (especially if said parent has a history of abuse). Boggles my mind that kids are so ignored in favour of the parents when the kids are the most vulnerable of the two.
Yea I was a kid and went thru that :(
Absolutely 100%
100%!!!!!!
Right!! They say it's the child's interest, but it's not. It's the parents legal right to get to parent their child, even if they are not able to do so appropriately.
There's a 5 year old girl missing out of Tennessee she has been missing since June . There has been little to no updates in her case . I have watched interviews with her mother and father and I truly believe they know more than they wanna say
What’s the girls name
Summer Wells
@@brandygibson7580 thanks i’ll research about it
Yea, I just checked this week and nothing new has come out. I'm so afraid Summer is dead. Poor child.
I don’t know if you’ve seen it already but she just posted a video covering it!
It’s such an odd feeling when hearing about a victim who was born the same year as you. When I was 12/13, I had a completely different life that I am so grateful for to this day, meanwhile at the same time, this poor boy was brutally killed by his own father. After all I’ve been through since my early teen years, it makes me so sad he didn’t get to go to high school, college, or do all the fun things teenagers and young adults do. Rest In Peace Dylan!
This is so true makes me so sad for him I wish I could’ve saved him he was just a little baby
I feel you on this. I was born the same year as well and it’s crazy to think back on that time. Dylan should be 22 and it’s so heartbreaking.
I understand exactly. I'm 9 months older but my husband is only 1 month and it just makes me so sad, and grateful I was in my situation. Poor Dylan, he desereved so much better 💔
What year was he born

I cannot fathom forcing a child BY LAW to spend time with someone they don’t want to. Are you kidding me? If my daughter didn’t want to meet her dad, they would have to pry her out of my cold, dead arms. Poor Dylan. The system let him down.
I was old enough to escape it as I was turning 18 at the time but my siblings (in Colorado) are being made to spend time with our mother even though she's incredibly verbally, mentally, and sometimes even physically abusive. The divorce system rarely if ever takes the child's wants into consideration.
Yup and they jail the parent who doesn't allow the court ordered visit for contempt. If a child is saying they don't want to see a particular parent questions need to be asked not just force the kid.
It's not that unusual at all. If there's no reason (as in a risk) provided then it's normal. Children say they don't want to do things all the time that's rarely an acceptable reason. Clearly the mother didn't really believe there was a risk either or she would've raised safety issues with the police and court beforehand
My dads girlfriends kid has a shitty dad she’s forced to spend time with him cuz the judge favours the dad over the mom. The kid is 15 now and is still forced to wear clothes she doesn’t want and her dads gf is tryna make her call her mom even though she’s not her mom.
Custody court is bullshit
Happened to me. Climbed out of the window of a moving car when I was 8 to avoid it. Luckily it wasn’t going that fast.
As someone with a son, the sad face text is so haunting. Wow God rest his soul.
YES
Same. I got a sinking feeling when I heard that. It's just such a sign of resignation.
you have to be extremely cruel and empty hearted to kill your own child. my heart breaks for his mom and brothers. such a sad case
I'm sure both Dylan's mother and brother let him leave on that trip with a heavy heart. I cannot imagine being just a kid and forced to go on your own miles away in a remote area and spend time with an adult you despise and maybe fear. This story is just heartbreaking.
makes it make a lot more sense when you hear of people being held in contempt for not sending their child off-- sometimes a mom just knows what's best. Such a terrible ending.
Kendall!! I went to middle school with Dylan before he went missing. We had home room together. 🧡 it means everything’s that you finally covered this case. Our tiny home town is finally feeling some justice. We all knew that POS killed our friend and had to wait seven years for justice for Dylan. Love you so much.
This is so sad, I’m so sorry 😭
I am from Bayfield CO and saw all this happen. The story was huge in our town. It was so sad what happened to Dylan. We definitely need justice for Dylan!💛🧡
It is Absolutely devastating… I am from Durango as well. I remember seeing the missing posters all over town. It’s truly unfathomable that a person could even commit such a heinous act. He seemed like such a sweet boy. He is in a better place now. Rest In Peace Dylan❤️
I also went to middle school with Dylan and since its been quite a few years since then if I remember correctly I also shared a home room with him. He was an awesome, funny, intelligent kid who got along with everyone and I was so devasted when I learned he was missing.
Kendall: This is so shocking. You'll never believe the motive.
Me: eh, how shocking could it be?

I can't imagine the survivors guilt Corey must feel. I hope him and his mama have a good support system for themselves! I say survivors because Corey was able to choose whether or not to go. The court system (family) is extremely broken and this should have never happened.
IMO if a child hates their parent THAT much- that should be taken for consideration in custody cases. A child shouldn't be forced to spend time with a parent they can't stand being around. That's not ok. Especially if the other parent's home is safe and happy and they enjoy being there.
Exactly. Parents seem to think they own their children.
Exactly he was obviously very fearful of him & begged not to go. What a horrible situation for the mother to have to send him. And then the horrific way he died. This story haunts me. I love my children so much. Whosever “made” that court order should be partly held accountable to imo. That poor child thinking of the terror haunts me.
Dylan: "I don't want to go, there's something off about my dad".
U.S Court: "Too bad, we know what's best for you".
Except that's not how it happened. There was no indication - to the court - that the father was unstable or violent.
It's very easy to make this strawman argument in hindsight but the fact of the matter is in the majority of cases children don't turn up dead. Often there can be bad blood because of a messy divorce which biases children towards one parent or the other and has reflects in no way on their parenting skills/love of their child and the child goes on to have a positive relationship with both parents. Also you're forgetting that often in situations like this one parent can poison the child against the other.
Then there are other considerations, does the child not want to visit the other parent for superficial reasons? (maybe one parent is wealthier and has more 'fun' things like computer games/cars/pools etc). What if one parent is just stricter and the other lets them get away with bad behaviour?
It's a complicated issue.
@@Red1Green2Blue3 I agree with you. I'm just expressing my frustrations over this case entirely. I think one dead child, though be it rare, is one too many.
@@Red1Green2Blue3 except there’s history there with two other sons who refused to even speak to their father. If force or pressure has to be applied for compliance then anyone with an i.q of a rock would see this is a man who is unable to maintain familial relationships

And yet the father murdered his own child. A child whom expressed severe dislike about being in the presence of his father. But go ahead, stand on the courts opinion.
@@Thumper-dx3yn try reading :)
The fact that a parent would kill their own child…. It’s just a whole other level of evil I can’t even imagine. I cried, he was so freaking young…
Over a picture of them eating sh*t, of ALL THINGS.
Such a beautiful child. Sick s.o.b. should be injected and done away with. Why should tax payers have to flit the bill to keep this sick ass hole alive and well. I hope the other inmates beat the "sh_ _") 😐 out of him or whatever else they do to him.
It is such evil that parents murder their children, this happens daily -- abortions are commited daily, globally. There are evil people promoting, justifying, and glorifying this immorality.
@@יהוהיהושוע-כ3ר hey I don’t mean to be rude but let’s not turn this into a religious/ political discussion okay? Let’s stay on topic with the video. Please and thank you!
Literally Dylan was so cute I want him!!!!
"I don't want the focus to be on me"yeah because you killed your son 🤬🤬🤬 watching parents give interviews about their missing children when they know full well they murdered them makes me so sick and so angry. The courts failed this child, it could have been prevented had they not forced the visit. I hope it eats at the judge every single day 🤷♀️
He was referring to his son in the past tense. You do that when you know they're dead because you did it. If he hasn't been found yet, you refer in the present tense. Psychopath.
ugh that screen shot of him in the airport is so eerie and sad
Yes, it’s very sad. He was a handsome boy.

@@frankiedominguez1872 That literally broke my heart
On the Dr Phil show Mark literally tried to blame Elaine for going to his house taking Dylan out and killing him just to frame him (Mark). He’s disgusting. That first interview you showed with Mark he referred to Dylan in the past tense.
I caught that too!!
me too
I noticed that too
Oi
@Kasey Sherman level 100 stupidity right there
Judges and court need to stop making kids spend time with people they don't want to
Agree
BINGO - the whole time watching, I'm thinking "if only the court was held accountable for FORCING this child to go there in the first place!"
Hi Mariana I believe this will happen soon or later.I was thinking the same.
As a child of divorce I completely agree with this!
@@marzypants exactly!! if the kid doesn't want to go and tries to do everything in his power to avoid being with him there must be something wrong
Thanks for another well-done case. This is unbelievably sad and my thoughts and prayers go to those left behind. At least justice was served.
I feel SO sorry for Cory. I bet he wishes so bad that he’d gone with Dylan.
@@Mira-jj6du yeah no need to be angry at a child. there was absolutely nothing he could’ve done to change what happened. when you comment things, imagine the family of the victims seeing it. please be more respectful.
Clear Blue I was thinking the same thing. I kind of thought it was shitty that he didn’t go at the beginning of the video but then I kept telling myself that he could never have predicted that it would end so tragically. However, it really bothered me when it was revealed that he was the one that found the pictures on his dads laptop and then showed Dylan. Obviously that made him hate his dad more and he chose not to go see him. I think it’s sad that despite knowing these things he didn’t feel protective enough of his brother and just let him go by himself. I know it’s not his brothers fault. I really do but I find it sad that he Dylan ended up there alone.
@@Weadessewell obviously any of these situations are incredible tragic. understanding that no one could’ve changed anything is the first step is actual grief for the family. and when random people following the case put out hateful comments blaming family members. it’s stupid. blame the man that murdered it son.
you were being respectful i apologize for getting heated lol but i had something like this happen in my family and blame shifting will mess people up mentally.
@@Weadessewell they’re siblings. I have a best friend who I consider my sister, and I tell her everything. Even my brother in the past, we would talk shit about our parents whenever we were upset with them. They are kids and siblings, and that’s exactly what they were acting like by sharing those photos and trashing their bum of a dad. You have hindsight on your side and zero involvement with the family members, so it’s easy for you to get on your high horse and act like you’d do things differently. Not just you, but many people on here trying to act like Corey is somehow to blame at all.
Disrespectful af.
OR, the courts should stop making children visit someone *they don’t want to see*
I don’t care if it’s the mother or father, usually there’s a very good reason they DON’T want to see them. It shouldn’t be forced on the child. It’s disgusting.
The hardest part of this whole thing is that Dylan didn’t want to go there in the first place and then ended having to go alone! if a child doesn’t feel safe going somewhere then it should not be court ordered!
@Anna's randomness WhoCares yes I agree definitely for everyone.
This kid was THIRTEEN. A Judge should know if a kid that age does not want to see a parent especially a father? There is probably a good reason. Our entire judicial system needs a complete overhaul. They are either corrupt or just don't care.
They don't care. XD

i haven’t been able to forget dylan’s story since i first heard it around 5 years ago. his story is so eerie to me because my dad is also a truck driver and my parents were also married for 18 years. the end of his life also happened the day of my 6th birthday. i have a special place in my heart for dylan and his family. i hope he’s doing everything he’s ever wanted to do up in heaven and i hope he knows everyone cares for him and is thinking of him always
Here’s my opinion:
He’s guilty on all counts, lying to everyone, his mom had a strong gut feeling, the way he acted in interviews, not to mention that bogus fake crying, Dylan clearly was afraid of him, mark basically premeditated the murder of his own son, he told his ex wife where he could hide a body in the woods, threatened to kill her kids, etc.
He definitely killed his son 100%, he’s a piece of shit that should not get out of prison
It makes me sad thinking about the older brother not going with him bc he is probably living with so much guilt. It’s not his fault, so hopefully he isn’t. Such a sad story. 😔
As someone with 4 younger siblings, I can almost guarentee he feels guilty for not going, clearly I can't speak for him but I know if I were in his shoes I would be feeling awful. And he shouldn't, he couldn't have known. Their father ruined so many lives by taking Dylan's, including his older son.
Survivors guilt is something I would never wish on anyone. My dearest friend was murdered at a restaurant we both worked at. I was supposed to be working the closing shift but I had my schedule changed. If I had worked my original shift I would have been there.
The fact that his last text to his mom was letting her know he’d arrived with a frownie face is so heartbreaking…seeing him on the airport surveillance camera is so chilling knowing those were his last hours. As a mother, I’d never be able to live with the guilt of having to send him on that plane.
It's not her guilt, it's d judge! ( if d judge have a conscience)
The judge who passed that court order should be held accountable as well!
I just hope the brother who didn’t go to his dad’s doesn’t put himself through survivor’s guilt. He doesn’t deserve that and he did nothing wrong. Same with the mom
I thought the same thing! He has to feel awful!!
Well I hope the person who ordered him to go to his dad puts himself or herself into A LOT OF GUILT!!
I teared up when Dylan's mother was talking about him and also his brother, when he said Dylan was someone he always exepected to be there and now he wasn't 😭
Yeah it's really rough to lose a sibling. You grow up with them, and then suddenly they're gone and it's so hard to live with that. People overlook how hard it is for siblings, everyone usually focuses on how hard it is for parents to lose a child. And it IS really hard for parents. But it's really hard for siblings, too.
That part broke me. Poor Dylan didn't deserve this and neither did his family.
He killed his own son to cover his secrets but still everyone knows now.. such an unnecessary death, RIP Dylan ✨
😥
Right? How many times have we seen this as a motive and they just end up exposing their secrets to the entire world?
The fact that his dad used PAST TENSE when talking about Dylan in the interview:
“He WAS the light of my life.” “He MEANT the world to me.”
_children are people._ they deserve _full_ autonomy + respect. children are often wiser than us adults. *listen to children.*
🙏🙏🙏
"He *was* the light of my life and he *meant* the world to me." Yup, guilty. Mark knew Dylan was already gone.
If you notice the whole time he is talking he is shaking his head no - indicates he doesn't believe anything he is saying. Whole interview was a lie
THATS WHAT I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY
I would love to see The Behavior Panel 's analysis on dear ol' dad.
He also wasn’t looking at the camera at all
The dad literally fake cried for all of 2 seconds and then went straight on to talking about what HE'S doing and how HE feels. He also spoke in past tense about Dylan but Dylan's mother spoke about Dylan in present tense...
I could see a parent talking about a child in past tense if it had been month.. and they don’t know cause the person hasn’t been there butttt in days no no no..
@@crystalpeterson8730 What makes it worse is that he mentioned blunt force trauma before anyone even thought about that 😵
We spend so much time telling kids to stay away from ppl that make them uncomfortable or scare them but then we force them to be around toxic abusive parents and don’t think twice about it , if this was a stranger and he felt this way we would’ve done absolutely anything we could to keep him safe , let’s normalize kids being able to have a voice in these life choices , he shouldn’t have been forced to be around mark this poor kid knew deep down he would be a victim of his own father 😔
This case is absolutely terrifying… my heart goes out to Dylan’s family. God there are horrible people in this world and it was pretty obvious Mark is one of them from the get go. How a family court failed to see that in the first place is a scary thing to realize.
It unfortunately happens all too frequently.
As someone with chronic illness it is SO SO SO heartwarming and inspiring to me to hear you talk about taking care of yourself
Ikr 🥺 it also inspires to see how successful she still is
What parent takes a nap when they don’t know where there child is? That was the first thing that caught my mind..
Exactly! I worked 16 hours a day and I wouldn't have been able to sleep if my kids were missing no matter how tired I was!
'nap' 😂
Exactly. Cell phones were already a thing, there's really no excuse
Red flags!!
When Dad said, "My prayers are with you." That's what you tell a stranger. Not what you say about your own missing child!
Poetic justice that those pictures that he wanted hidden so badly of him eating shit are all over the internet.
ugh 🤢🤮
He becomes what he eats. Absolute shit
I love that for him.
Yuck that is sickening. It makes me want to barf. Who wants to see that ?
Man When karma kicks in it literally KICKS IN!
I’m so frustrated with the fact that people always fail the children in cases like this. The courts, CPS, etc. If a child doesn’t want to be around one parent, why the hell would you force them to do so? Why not investigate or take the child seriously??? This is honestly heartbreaking and gets my blood boiling
Same, super infuriating outcome especially knowing that the child wanted distance. Some people are complete filth.
Not always but yeah I get what u mean
Children should not have to visit parents if they don’t want to!
I agree, if a child doesn’t want to go with one parent, there is a reason. Too often the courts ignore the child’s wishes without even looking into why the child feels that way.
I really fail to understand what benefit visitation would have had? Dylan disliked his dad (Mark didn't even bother trying to salvage the relationship which shows he felt meh too about the whole thing) and this along with the fact that Mark was violent should've raised major red flags.
Right? We’re like biologically programmed to love our parents, so when a kid doesn’t want to be near their parent it should be taken seriously 😔 this story is so sad.
mark: “i don’t want the focus to be on me. the focus should be only on finding dylan”
also mark: *talks about himself and how cooperative he is*
I just love how he killed his son over a picture worried he was going to tell other people, but the whole world ended up seeing the pictures.
Hey yeah! That’s ironic!
Poetic justice
As if eating feces isn’t disturbing enough, you go and take pictures of yourself doing it??? Like... why?????? 🤢
And the pictures are nightmare inducing 😩🤮

He probably got off on the photos tbh
I just want to know where he got it. Not that it would have been any better, but he didn't have a baby. He would have to go out and actively seek one.

The fact that Mark was fake crying and it was so obvious and then stops “crying” two seconds later while continuing to talk….
I love the fact that while Kendall is talking about this highly disturbing case, while her cat is looking as having the best sleep of its life..

“I just want him home” - Mark says, immediately after speaking about him in the past tense 🥴 12:15
Exactly. That’s was a give away.
I mean I see this type of comments on this video, and I understand where you guys are coming from. But you can’t prove anything from that. If your son ran away you would speak of him in the present tense? I don’t get this, because I would speak of him in the past tense because he isn’t present. It doesn’t mean he knew he was dead. I just don’t get it……
@@baitroyale6070 no , its not normal to refer to someone in the past tense while they're missing. My cat escaped went missing the other night and i kept saying "i just want her back" " where could she be" "how could i have let this happen" "why did i leave the door open". Thats just one example and its my CAT. Its not normal lol
@@baitroyale6070 if you friend goes on vacation do you speak of them in the past tense? Like, ‘My friend was such a good person I wish I could see them again.’ Assuming not as that would be weird. Even weirder when your kid is missing and could be alive out there somewhere.
@Bait Royale
That's all well & good but taking into account the whole interview, he was lying throughout very obviously. That, & speaking of Dylan in the past tense, tells us everything.
The courts failed Dylan by forcing him to stay and visit with a man he hated - you don't just have the right to visitation you earn it -prior to that thanksgiving he HAD not earned it- the laws need to change when a parent is known to be violent toward a spouse or child - that child should be allowed to chose what type of visits he/she can tolerate - shame of the system !!
If a kid doesn't want to be with their parent, they shouldn't have to! There is probably a reason. The system is supposed to protect kids, but all too frequently it enables abusers. It's atrocious!
Yup so true :(
T.H.A.N.K.Y.O.U. THE CHILD IS FORCED NOT GOOD.
Well said!
I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It’s very hard to live life on a schedule when you can’t predict flare ups. I’m glad you are taking time for yourself bc that’s most important! ❤️
I wish that lawyer had fought harder for them instead of scaring the mom with "contempt of court". My daughter has flat refused to see her father since age 12 and I don't make her go. He is a drunk and a toxic narcissist. Nothing has ever happened, the court said she's old enough to choose. The system should UNIFORMLY honor the wishes of children. He stopped paying child support out of spite. I don't care.
if he's so mad about not seeing his daughter then why did he stop paying child support? that just shows he doesn't care about her or seeing her, he's just angry because he didn't have his way, I'm so glad the court system was on your daughter's side and didn't force her to spend time with a man she didn't want to see, hope you and your daughter are well!
I was in the same situation as a teen. Court didn’t force me to visit my father. This should have been the situation with Dylan. Poor kid would still be alive today :(
It's a tough spot. A child can be coached/threatened to tell a judge anything. So they can end up going to the wrong place either way.
Same here. My son is 14 and not once asked about his dad. Even if he did I wouldn't be the wall between him and his dad and he could care less. I'm not going to push him. When he's ready to know more or want to see him then he'll let me know but in the mean time I'm not saying anything.
@@calupoh9788 Thank you! It was a way to get back at me (so he thought). He doesn't even buy her Christmas or birthday presents but tries to guilt trip her though text 🙄 (before I put a stop to that too). Her mental health has improved dramatically now that we've gone no contact. He has other older children who also refuse to see him and I'm seriously concerned for the two young kids he has (6 kids in all). He's a horribly manipulative, neglectful, selfish man-child who doesn't deserve children. He seemed normal when I married him but then he started drinking and drugging and that was it. I feel like I failed her by thinking he would be a good dad.
Mark's use of past tense when referring to Dylan in his interview while he was still missing is a tell-tale sign. "He WAS the light of my life and he MEANT everything to me."
I NOTICED THAT AS WELL! CHRIS WATTS VIBES
I could tell the second I saw that clip that he was the guilty one in all of this tbh.
This just breaks my heart. He didn’t want to see him. The court system fails so many kids that way. Children have the same rights as adults, to be heard and to decide who they want to see.
it pisses me off so much the way the courts waffle on about "the best interests for the child" and then fail children spectacularly time and time again 😡😡😡
As a single parent, this is devastating on many different levels. The mom had no reasonable choice and this needs to be changed. If he was going to run away, he would have run away while at his mother's house. A man with a violent past should not have been granted unsupervised visitation.
It’s the cat just chilling and vibing so peacefully behind Kendall throughout this dark video for me
It’s a mood 😅
I was just focusing on the cat lol. Idk if it’s because my cat is smallish but that cat looks really big to me lol.
The cat is my comfort in the story 😩

His mama is a total badass. It’s sad to know that Dylan maybe had a feeling that something bad might happen to him, it’s human nature to dread something we know doesn’t feel 100% right. Ugh, just a horribly sad story.
Kendall, you take whatever time you need. We’ll be here when you get back. Love you, girl!
