Just like I thought the opinions are all over the place on this case!! Often times you guys are on the same page but with this one I understand why people feel so strongly about their own personal feelings. However please try to keep it kind when interacting with other subscribers and reading THEIR opinions. It’s okay to think differently than others.
Kendall Rae thank you!

Yess👏🏼❤️
yes totally agree thankyou for putting out this message

With a mom that was supposedly “obsessed” with her daughters body image, your telling me she didn’t notice her pregnant?
Kady x seriously!
FACTS
The Mom was behind it forsure
you don’t think she would’ve told on her mom though...?
Emma Langford all people act differently in serious situations, if i was in her position where it involved my baby i would search for a cry for help and if i was there with the police i would tell them everything
I couldn’t even throw up in my parents house as a teenager without everyone figuring out I was sick, how in the hell do you give birth secretly in a house full of people?
So I was a pretty sick human up until like 4 months ago so I have a lot of experience with vomiting - you can learn to do it silently when you practice enough
Unless it’s a huge house 😂 but it was next to her brothers bedroom so probably not
Yeah that’s what I was thinking I don’t understand she was so little and so young, she couldn’t have been very prepared plus most (good) mothers really do have a sixth sense, they just know, plus she definitely looked pregnant in those prom pictures like unless her mom was an alcoholic or a druggy idk how she didn’t notice. I mean her mom was a total control freak she doesn’t seem like the kinda mom that shit just slips past.
She had bulimia, so if she was throwing up from the pregnancy, they probably just thought it was her eating disorder.
It is called parental neglect. She obviously had a bad relationship with her parents. Otherwise she would have gone towards them whenever she had troubles. She probably didn't trust her own mother to care about her or take care of her. It is so sad.
“We had such a perfect family”. This wasn’t even a perfect family to begin with.
Abusive parent's logic
Yeah perfect image but not perfect at all. Horrible in fact
"We have the perfect family" Child has bulimia. Has a stillborn child.
I mean... i can see that family looking perfect at first sight
A popular, cheerleader beautiful daughter
A probably popular part of a sport team and good looking.
A caring, supporting and loyal mother/ wife
A hard worker, strong, and smart father/ husband
Glue all that to the fact that they are healthy, soooo yeah... i can see why she say "perfect family"
@T K i never say, she was healthy
The all point of what i said was that they pretend to be perfect
I've had two later term stillbirths and I'm here to tell you that you absolutely CAN go from a strong, healthy heartbeat to giving birth to a stillborn in a matter of a couple of days.
I'm sorry for your losses.
Yeah that part was kind of silly of her to say. OF COURSE it is possible, and happens all the time, that a baby goes from perfectly healthy to stillborn.
💔💔💔💔
Same
That lady killed that baby.
So you're telling me no one in the house heard her giving birth in the bathroom and no one saw her digging a grave in their backyard??????????
🙌🙌🙌 amen
right! arent mothers pretty weak after giving birth? like it takes a lot out of you. ....literally
Yeah and you need to be strong to dig a grave and then fill it up again
And there would’ve been blood EVERYWHERE in that bathroom dude.
@@indicababy5513 EVERYWHERE! And can you imagine tearing and not knowing what to do after you give birth. Wtf did she do with the placenta?
I also find it interesting that when her parents come into the interrogation room she doesn’t apologize to both parents she just apologized to her mother. I think her mother is definitely involved & definitely impacted her life & mindset.
I agree, I believe her dad had genuine reactions of shock and surprise but the mom seemed so suspish. Like she already knew everything. 🤔
strange enough, it's not something unheard of. moms being excessively supportive of criminal daughters that is. might be a subconscious thing
AND her dad was the one who said "You should have just told us"
its common for girls to be closer to their mothers in scenarios like this tbh
@@gremliin_priince true butttt, it's almost like she's scared of her mom.
As soon as someone says “we had a perfect family” I already know they are full of bs
Lol exactly. No family is perfect
Why..? I don't think you understood that right. If you searched up the true story, her parents were extremely rich and wanted a perfect reputation. (perfect family) The poor girl was literally anorexic because of her parents and had to get perfect grades. She even were a cheerleader which, basically gives it all away.
What's it like being Satan's toilet cleaner?
The hair of a Karen
Yes Too much of expectation towards a teenager..... the mom could have said so many things but said this. Like literally bs
The way the mom said "we had the perfect life" was chilling. Right out of a Lifetime drama. She's like a Katherine Heigl character.
I also think she had to have known. Also, as someone else pointed out, if she was so obsessed with her daughter's body, she would have absolutely noticed her "belly."
Home sweet hell
Not all women get a noticeable belly. Some women don't notice they're pregnant themselves until they give birth. It's not super common but it definitely happens and isn't THAT rare.
Sounds to me like she lived in an abusive home, at least emotionally abusive, and her mom knew she was pregnant. This girl CLEARLY showed signs of severe emotional abuse throughout this case.
Yeah and the dad was really sus too, like when the parents walked in and the only thing he said was “you should’ve told us.” No remorse or sympathy in his voice
I completely agree
I totally agree!
livvi s. True, it sounds like he had a part in the coverup
I think the mother knew, and helped her dispose of the baby. but I felt like the dad was sincerely shocked and upset from the first moment. I’ve seen this case before, and he really seemed appalled and heartbroken in the interviews I’d seen..
The mom totally knew. It’s obvious. When she said in the interrogation “We had a perfect life” shows exactly what she was worried about... she was more concerned about the family image, not her daughter’s baby.
I totally agree. Even when Skylar had her eating disorder, her mother would promote it because she wanted her daughter to be "perfect." The part where she forced her daughter to take laxatives and told Skylar that her pregnancy better be fake raised red flags for me.
They're not even the family with a perfect life i imagined
I have read a lot about this case and supposedly multiple friends of Skylar have come forward saying that her mom knew she was pregnant and wanted her to get rid of the baby.
uggh the mom sucks
I agree with you 100%. The mother needs some help as well, the pressure she put on her children to be perfect probably played in the back of Skylar’s head during the birth. I couldn’t imagine being 18 and giving birth on my own! I hope her mother feels guilty as I believe she plays a big role in all of this!
If your child can't come to you with any issue they are having, you do not have a perfect family/life.
That’s not completely true I’m not comfortable going to my parents with things and there’s nothing wrong with our family like there’s no unresolved issues or anything I just as a person not comfortable with going to really any one with my issues
@@toughlove2820 I am not saying you should tell your parents everything or should be comfortable doing so. But nobody is perfect either, which is my point. 🙃
I don't like going to my parents about most things. I have a great family life lmao
I do agree in this story yes, because of the attitude that the mother had, about being in shape, and how her parents claimed “to do everything they could to help her disorder” but proceeded to pressure her...I do think that it’s their fault.
As an overall case I do think it’s normal to keep some things from parents as that’s also how children grow to be their own person with independence.
But this story is SO different to the average life or family.
Kendall CLEARLY said that she was a private person and kept things to herself ! you can’t blame the family for that ! Nice try
Honestly that doctor should also be charged for breaching patient confidentiality. Emailing her psycho mom those results was completely unethical. I am by no means saying this is the worst part of the case, it should also be in consideration.
it was an accident
BUT THE DOCTORS GAVE HER BIRTH CONTROL KNOWING SHE WAS ALREADY REALLY FAR ALONG. In my opinion, the doctor should lose their license and be held accountable
@@hayleycarpenter7489 did u listen to why
@@t1m513 I did, but I stand by my opinion. Knowing she didn't want the baby in the first place, the doctor almost had to have known she was going to fill and take the pills. No reputable doctor would have done that.
@@hayleycarpenter7489 it’s a tough situation, it’s easy to see now but in the moment u don’t know a kids home life, it would’ve been clear that she was uncomfortable with her mother, scared and didn’t trust her, letting her leave empty-handed could’ve resulted in more than a lost fetus for all he knew, I’m sure the doc feels terrible and has made changes himself without needing his license revoked, the parents r at fault here, they dragged ppl into this by not doing their part -being supportive, caring and loving, only thought abt themselves and how strangers viewed them
I was 14 and had a baby. Nobody knew. I told my dad when my water broke. I gave him up for adoption. I found out his name and when he turned 21, I contacted him. He's a psychology major, newlywed, and 6'3'' sweetheart of a young man.
you were just a baby yourself that's young
i’m happy you got back in contact with him ❤️ i pray that your relationship with him grows !
That sounds so hard for you, but it sounds like he is an awesome young man!
Did you get pregnant at 13 or 14
Thanks for sharing that story!!! I’m glad you got in contact with him. That takes strength!!!
My sister knew a girl in her 10th grade class that hid her pregnancy the entire time. She gave birth and accidentally suffocated the baby trying to keep it quiet. She ended up putting the baby in her cheerleading bag. It was awful the police found the baby in her room. It begins with the parents and the pressure they put on their children. I pray my daughter never feels ashamed and comes to me when she is in need of help.
Thats fucking digusting! Has nothing to do with the parents wtf bro?
@@princessundead9734 It does though. If your children don’t feel safe going to you for support in a situation like that, of course they’re going to make bad decisions. I’m not defending what she did at all, but being alone and feeling as though you have no help in a situation as life changing as that is going to drive people to do things they wouldn’t do otherwise. It’s absolutely to do with the parents and support networks.
@@princessundead9734 Do you think that humans just are born with the idea of killing and stuffing your Child in a cheerleading bag???? That very obviously is something that is caused by upbringing
What happened to the girl afterwards?
@@rattian1976 it sounds like she accidentally suffocated the baby. This girl was a 10th grader (15-16 years old) and we don’t know what her home life was. It’s natural that after having a baby as a literal child (again, 15-16 years old) and then accidentally killing them she would panic.
There definitely have to be consequences for accidents like these, but it was more than likely an accident caused by the panicked actions of a child who didn’t know what to do. A human brain isn’t fully developed until about the age of 25. I would say a 15-16 year old convicted of this should engage in community service and educational programs, but I feel like unless it was premeditated, the child shouldn’t be put into prison for it.
If my daughter has an eating disorder at 12 due to cheerleading, she ain’t cheerleading until her mental health is well enough to cheerlead.
Agree !!! Some moms lives through their daughters which is digusting
Well, that’s why you’d be/or are a way better mother than skylars mother is.
Skummerz19 my neighbor’s baby goat showed up in our yard. Her momma doesn’t care when she runs away, & that goat is a better mother than skylar lol. At least the goat is alive! But this is really sad. Awful parents resulted in a selfish murderous teen. Personally I think she intended on killing her daughter but she died on her own. That’s why she kept telling the police ‘i didn’t kill her’. She might not have killed her but I think she would have for sure.
I agree!!!!!
Right??????
“This is not stuff that you do as a parent if your child has a FUCKING EATING DISORDER” loved that sm
The texts between Skylar and her mom made me sick. Her mom telling her to throw up and do a bunch of sit ups because she's worried about her "belly." The mother is evil.
When your kids are having their baby in the bathroom all by themselves and don’t trust you with any of it to the point of secretly burying their stillborn child in the backyard, you failed at parenting.
It says so much about the parents and especially her mother and the household she grew up in with the whole pressure to be perfect and skinny. Her mom telling her that if she was pregnant that her life would be over.
Right? How funny is that? 😂 we stan abortions
Her family is crazy! Especially the mom!!! She had to notice that her daughter was pregnant especially in the prom dress!!!! Honey you need impatient treatment for your eating disorder bc your mom is out of her mind! Her mom needs therapy also!!! Ugh what a sad story! She could have adopted the baby out? But instead gives birth in her bathroom??? Icr to ppl who do that bc giving birth is so messy! Blood,water,afterbirth so much is going on? Idk hth teens or a girl any age pulls it off????
Exactly- bc it was all about “image” which had nothing to do with reality. Such a shame.
@@DanniTheMagicJunkDrawer Those kind of families are among the most toxic, horrible and two faced..
It makes me sad that kids are so afraid of their own parents. I want my kids to trust me and not automatically think “mom is gonna kill me”, ya know?
Exactly! Parents should be the first people you think about and trust when you r in a bad situation and need help not the last people you want to find out
Yepp
TypicalMiyahh lmao
I always say that lmao. I’m like OMG if she notices she’s gonna kill meeeeeh
Same. It's awful.
Yeah I think it's the way you should parent. My opinion is based on trying never to shatter my parents picture of the perfect kid. A child navigating the perils of life feeling alone and trying to figure out everything on their owns is tragic and the consequences last a lifetime
the very non motherly way her mom “hugs” her while she is apologizing and crying after such a traumatic experience is very telling!
And Skylar acting was so clear..bad acting.But psychopaths do act feelings and they get more well acting as older they get..i bet this girls would do criminal acts in future.
@@BunnyBitch76 I doubt it, she didn’t know she was pregnant and didn’t t know what to do when her baby turned out still born I’m glad she got off the hook she’s a kid she’s 18
"i lost 20 pounds"
"i could cry, you are literally my hero"
WHAT THE FFFFFFFFF thats just the worst to say to someone with an EATING DISORDER "we did everything we could to help her" yeah right help her suffer
20 pounds also seems like a crazy huge amount to suddenly fall off even after giving birth. I wish that happened for me after my births!
Yeah I agree. Absolutely sick response. I cringed during that part 😣
I had a condition during my pregnancy that made me throw up everything i ate that doesn't dissapate after the fist trimester. It lasts the WHOLE pregnancy. I threw up the day she was born. I lost 30 lbs. I was hospitalized several times to b tube fed. Ugh. But i didn't have an eating disorder
Ashleeb Whittlesey omg
me too!! So bad.
I don’t understand parents who are obsessed with their children’s bodies. It sounds like her mom was definitely aiding in her eating disorder.
I get "I wanna speak to the manager" vibes from The Mom.
Peak Karen
😭😂
she's a "karen" 😒
Strong karen vibes
The karen is strong with this one 🤣
Something that makes me believe the child was stillborn was the fact that her brothers room was right by the bathroom and when a child is born, they cry. A lot. You would think someone would have heard a baby cry if the child was alive.
I think she was stillborn too. I think suffocation is a common reason. Sad.
My daughter didn’t cry at all when she was born. She just stared at me. Not all babies cry when born.
My son didn't cry.
Babies have fluid in their lungs, they have to suction. Maybe the baby didn’t cry because it never had a chance to breathe. Possibly drowned?
Alana Batista most babies aren’t born with fluid in their lungs to the point where they have to suction, bc on the way out of the birth canal they are squeezed so tightly that they eject most of the fluid. My daughter wasn’t suctioned, I don’t know of any natural birth babies that were suctioned unless it was an extremely quick birth. Suctioning after birth is more of a c section thing.
I think the baby could’ve been still born but also I have no doubt that if she was born alive the family would’ve killed her anyways. She could’ve drowned if she did actually give birth birth in the toilet like she says. They may have just left her there. So sad.
This is just a really sad story, an a cautionary tale of what happens when people feel like they have no one to turn to. The parents are just as a guilty if not more than Skyler.
I really don't agree, I got pregnant at 17 and knew my parents would be PISSED, I knew they'd kick me out. I still told them, I got kicked out, and I had my baby. There were other options she could've taken, having a bad family doesn't excuse murder
@@User-rm7ir Your situation is not hers
I bet my bottom dollar that the mother knew. Plus there's no way they had a 'perfect family' even before the pregnancy.
Yeah no way she gave birth without waking anyone up
@@laylahbarahona5226 And she bourride a baby in the backyard without anyone noticing that something had been buried ??
@@laylahbarahona5226 I am 35 i sneeze my mom sits straight up out of a sound sleep and checks on me so yeah how did she hide a pregnancy
@@aprilgosa5779 I also think it's strange that she managed to stand up right after birth and bury the child there is no way
What sane mother knows about her daughter being pregnant and doesn’t intervene?
I blame her parents. They had that girl so scared of them she not only developed an eating disorder but hide her pregnancy
I wish I could blame all the dumb stuff I did growing up on my parents. All parents mess up all kids in one way or another. That's like saying it's okay for serial killers to murder people because of their upbringing. No. Many people go through the same things with their parents and never go on to bury their infant in their backyard. 🤦♀️
Sabrina Marie Wagner You’re a fucking moron it is 100% the parents fault! Especially killers! Mothers are to BLAME!
@@jd4evapodcast86 it's not, everyone is their own person and make their own choices. You can't say until you're 18 you're parents are to blame for everyone.
J D4eva it's not always the parents fault when they tell there child not to do something and the child does it it's the child's fault because they made that decision at the end of the day so don't blame every parent and for serial killers for them to be killing someone killed there family for them to be doing that or someone did something to them there's no way they could've got that from their parents so yeah
J D4eva Erm no it is absolutely not, in this case her behaviour is influenced by her mother yes but others have had worse mothers and have still avoided certain troublesome paths in their lives & I can tell you that their good decisions did not come from their no good parents... your logic does not reflect reality so you actually sound like a moron
Well SOMEBODY in that house knew about her pregnancy. She gave birth to a whole baby in the bathroom and no one noticed???????? Yeah right bruh
Alexandria KING I know right you would be screaming in pain someone would have to come and check on you.
I KNOWWW RIGHT!!!!
Not necessarily.
I labored for 12 hours without meds. I was sleeping through contractions. The pain wasnt *that* bad, I have honestly had period cramps way worse.
I’m sorry wouldn’t you be yelling when giving birth to a baby
@@dinonuggies145 nope, I sure wasnt.
At 17 yrs old my mom made me take a pregnancy test. Two days later at obgyn he said I was 32 weeks pregnant. I had only gained about 9lbs. I had a period the whole time. I praise my parents for their support. my kids are now 21, 20, 15
How can you have had a period the whole time?
@@teneshalulu2482 As a nurse, I guarantee that it does happen, particularly to young women whose periods are often very irregular. This happens even more often with a severe eating disorder. And believe me when I say that just having to deal with an insidious eating disorder, especially at a pretty young age, is punishment enough- even if you are blessed with loving, supportive parents. The level of self-hatred it requires to starve your body nearly to death is immeasurable. And severe, chronic EDs tend to stunt your emotional growth at around the age it began. You're not working with a healthy brain. I speak from experience, both as a nurse and as a patient. I've been battling anorexia since the age of 11, and I am 50 now. Every single person struggling with an ED in my years of impatient treatment programs had pretty serious childhood trauma- without exception. Even with my professional background, it took organ failure and hypovolemic shock to give me the strength to recover. At some point, she will realize what she has done, and she'll punish herself forever, no doubt. I pray that Skylar finds the strength and courage to fight like hell! Love to her- ❤🩹
@@teneshalulu2482 ive heard it from other people before too
@wcwebush lol you didn't have a period. you can bleed from the cervix due to trauma from a lot of different penises in you while you were pregnant at 17, but it wasn't a period.
You can't have a period and be pregnant unless you have more than one uterus. Could've been bleeding from something else, but it wasn't a period
Both mom and Brooke don’t look right in their mind.
Mom 110% had something to do with it.
Agree, I cannot comprehend how she could've gone through that birth entirely on her own and no-one heard a thing or that there was no blood in the bathroom. Plus going out during the night, digging a grave and no-one noticed? I think mom helped her give birth, the baby's airways weren't cleared so it died then they buried it. I don't think Dad knew. Not sure about the brother but how could he have missed that commotion going on right next door to his room.
@@candicel956 I think you are spot on.
Altoid Bazingá im pretty sure a screaming woman giving birth without pain medicine is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy louder than a construction site lmao
Kaitlyn Davis especially inside your house, like in the next room
Jasmine for real dude
I blame the parents. If they’d had a healthy relationship with their daughter she would’ve felt comfortable telling them she was pregnant. They could’ve quietly put it up for adoption without anyone knowing. Skylar clearly was just trying to get out of a horrible situation and felt like her only option was to bury the baby so no one would find out
Honestly that was my thought all the time I've been questioned by police beforehand true how police try to make you admit things unfortunately this happens a lot more than you think but it was just a bad situation any young girl not knowing any better just makes you do things that aren't all that good
Same here, I think she was a scared teenager and didn't know what to do.
Right just look how the dad acted when he went in the interrogation room first thing he said is “you should have told us” and pulled his hand away when she touched him. Wtf
Honestly. When a teenager goes through a traumatizing and potentially life-threatening event (pregnancy is dangerous) and is too afraid to tell her parents, that says a lot about the parents.
@@jaredwilliams6853 ikr?! Shows she cant trust him
The parents absolutely helped try to hid the baby. You mean to tell me a 18 yr old gave birth unassisted in their bathroom, cleaned everything up then went and dug a hole in the back yard, at night, alone. And the parents have no clue.... I can't believe her parents weren't questioned more.
I passed out getting up to go to the bathroom an hour after giving birth. There’s no way that she did all of that by herself.
Watch the tv show i didn’t know I was pregnant tlc and obygny reaction you learned a lot about medical stuff
I agree her parents helped out.
I watched a woman give birth walking up to a doctor's office...you'd be surprised at what women could do.
Idk I think the mom knew and helped out but not the father. His reaction seemed so genuine to me but that mom her reaction was overdone she def have something to do with it
The most suspicious thing to me from the beginning was that she wasn't willing under these extreme circumstances to reach out to her mom, even as a private person. And when the topic got visited toward the end, I'm still most suspicious of those texts with her mom. Why hasn't the mom been investigated? Even at 18, someone else knew, and a mom is influential even to an 18 year old.
"She announced that she lost 20 lbs and eveyone clapped"
*I'm sorry, WHAT?*
No one:
Karen’s and kids on Facebook: and everyone clapped
A teen would not act like this her mother narcissistic controling her how to be this not how a teen acts.
**like comment**
Congrats u have now 1k likes
yeah, won't that set off some red flags????
@@SomewhataMystery How would you know what a teen acts like? Every teenager is different. Please, tell me how I acted when I found out I was a homosexual. Please, give it your best shot.
Mom says “we had a perfect life”.. That woman focuses on what others think, rather than her own actual family. Wow. I think mom knew she was pregnant & killed the baby, then told her daughter it was a stillborn.
Exactly my thought!
Yeah definitely a ‘perfect poster family’ I feel bad for Skylar she needed help and she couldn’t even talk to her parents.
It's so so sad..the whole situation is just terrible. If their family was so perfect, why was Skylar so scared to tell her mom and/or dad what was going on BEFORE it had to come down to her birthing a baby on her own and then burying it in her backyard?? She felt like THAT was her only option?? That's a pretty big tragedy on its own.
I know I am not a perfect mom, not by any means, and I don't think I would have it any other way... but both my sons know that they can come to me NO MATTER WHAT. I know this, because I have talked to them about it.
The most Karen Karen I’ve ever seen
Heck yea the mother knew
Ok but how didn't ANYONE notice she was pregnant or giving birth in their bathroom???
right?? like wouldnt they hear the baby crying??
i definitely think her mom knew about it or at least that something was wrong. i also think it’s for sure possible annabelle was stillborn.
Especially with her brother in the room right next to her???
Literally!? How did she manage to stay quiet? Did they just think she was having serious bowel issues? I have so many questions about that 😂
And howd she clean that up ?! There would be so much blood ...
I cannot imagine - despite having 2 kids and another on the way in a month - giving birth ALONE in my BATHROOM. When you think of how involved childbirth is, and how messy, plus all of the things that come after (like breastmilk, postpartum contractions, etc) it’d be really difficult to get through that completely alone. It’s not that it’s just a few hours and it’s over…
That but also if it actually was a stillbirth, like that alone is incredibly difficult and she just had to figure out what to do with it. And if it’s true that the umbilical cord had detached itself I’d imagine there would’ve been a lot of blood. It’s so heartbreaking, I feel so sorry for her
@@Sophie_Pea I hope she's moved out of that unhealthy house. That must have been crazy traumatic for a teen to go through.
Hold up, no one talked about the doctor prescribing a 36 week pregnant woman birth control??!
Well she was deadass just about to have the child, she more than likely told them that she was planning to use the birth control after giving birth-- not unrealistic, that would be only 3 or 4 weeks from then.
Ahh, that makes sense. Still think that more questions could have been asked from the ob/gyn end. But I also feel for Skylar because it’s a tough situation she was thrown into and it sounds like she just didn’t know what to do at all. Really sad.
@@Luckyforus686 You're right ✅ I somehow missed that detail on first watch.
I think that whether or not it was the right choice, the doctors had to have picked up on the girls panic and terror about finding out she's pregnant, and wanted to just get the birth control to appease the mom in the meantime since she wasn't mentally prepared to tell her in the car ride home, which is understandable imo. I'm guessing they made her give them her word that she wasn't going to use BC until after the baby was born, but there WERE alarm bells raised as the doctors did call the police weeks later.
Since she was 18, they couldn't bring the mom in and tell her themselves, which had to have been a major factor in their decision making.
Well birth control isn’t just for pregnancy or doing the naughties it could also be to regulate periods or for other health reasons so I guess it’s easier to write off that detail.
@@HackiePuffs yeah but apparently its damaging to a pregnancy, hence why a doctor typically wouldn't want to perscribe it. Her reasoning for taking it doesn't play into it.
honestly it’s a horrible story but the fact that she gave birth alone in her bathroom next to her brothers room with no pain killers and no one knew is remarkable.
Miss Nix she is a horrible person but i’m just saying she has to be hella strong to be able to give birth in her house and no one know
@@missnix6151 I'm not sure that she did do that to her baby, even if she did, her mother ended up threatening her life. She also had an eating disorder meaning that there was a low chance of survival for the baby. Plus she was young it would have ruined her life, and her mother would kill her for that.
The fact that anyone can judge her and call her a "horrible person" blows my mind. Good people do bad things. We are ALL screwed up in some way.
michelle torok she might not be a horrible person but what she did was horrible

Multiple doctors examined the baby and said it was likely a stillbirth. The chord was very thin, and she had an eating disorder which means it got very little nutrition. She was obviously just a teenager who was scared shitless and already had her share of mental issues (looking at her mother's behavior it's no wonder). No, she wasn't "normal" and her behavior wasn't "normal".
Everyone likes to think they would have done differently in the same situation but you have no idea what it was like to be in her head. You're saying that from the standpoint of being yourself, right now.
I would ask everyone to think back to the absolute lowest point of their lives and judge from those shoes if they must judge.
I’m pretty sure that she gave the baby to her mom. And her mom was the one to get rid of the baby. That is why she said “maybe” I burned the baby with a lighter because she didn’t witness what happened. Her mom knew all along.
Nah I feel like Skylar would have said something
That’s a good theory. I hadn’t thought of that.
Exactly my thought.
@@triciafradrick3731 It sounds to me like she was scared of her mom, so this could have happened but she didn't say anything because she didn't want her mom to hurt her or anything.
and the mom is *obsessed* with the daughters body, so she would notice the baby bump.
Those texts…. Her mom KNEW
It's sad that she was brought up by a narcissist mother.
oh please...
@Normani is better than Camila they're not trying to justify anything, that girl definitely deserves time in prison for her actions but what that person is saying is that it is sad that she had to be put in circumstances like that where she felt she couldn't even say a thing about her pregnancy to her narcissist of a mum. But yeah nonetheless, her actions are disgusting.
I have a narcissist dad.
He always abused me...
He is the reason that i have Anxiety..
When a men did sleep in our house...in the night he did take off my Clothes and startet touching me...and A boy in my school always touch me and tried raping me.
I cant say anything because of my Anxiety...and some other reasons.
I dont like my life because of my Anxiety. I also did self harm.
Life is hard for me but I try my best.
In past I did care so much about other People... But nowdays I dont have enough Empathy for People.
I was raised by a narcissist aswell but I would never murder my own child. Her moms narcissism has nothing to do with her killing her baby. That was all her.
-Pancake- Im sorry they happened to you but I’m confused. Are you blaming skylar or her parents?
“the baby was healthy 11 days before the baby was stillborn” I lost my daughter 5 years ago. I had a doctors appointment 2 days prior to giving birth, she was perfect and had a strong heartbeat. she ended up being stillborn. anything can happen during a pregnancy.
I am very sorry for your loss
I had no idea that was possible :( thank you for sharing
I'm so sorry for you having that happen. I can't even imagine.
My condolences 💐
Yes this is crazy. Like imagine she was in labor for hours and probably didn’t know how to push delivered this baby herself. Like legit could’ve passed away while she was in labor
Let’s be honest here her mom knew about the pregnancy and just wanted a perfect life... those messages between her mom and her says it all.
Couldn't have said it any better ...😳😭
Exactly how do u give birth in a bathroom in a house full of people
@@sach1293 - idk...very quietly, I imagine, but I have NO idea how she managed to do that all alone in a such a weak physical, mental, and emotional state...I cry out if I hit my funny bone on something!!
@@sach1293 the only thing I can think of is maybe no one else was home. They said the bathroom was by her brother's room, but didn't clarify if he was actually home. If the baby was stillborn then it wouldn't have made any noises. Maybe she kept very quiet giving birth or maybe the noises they heard they just figured she was throwing up since she was bulimic- so maybe they weren't suspicious since she would have thrown up often. IDK what I believed happened. Just trying to be unbiased.
@@sach1293 idk, if you're in the bathroom I doubt anyone would suspect a thing. At night as well.
Sadly, I know a family that went through this. Also being a mother, I couldn't imagine doing what these girls did. Just like Skylars story, the girl I knew felt she couldn't talk to her very conservative, Christian, community prominent parents. I ALWAYS reinforced this with my son and his girlfriend to tell me if something is going on...I will not judge. Because who cares what everyone thinks! I'd rather have a beautiful Grandchild than say, "We had the perfect life". What a horrible mother!!!
Amen to that. I'm so grateful that despite my parents being conservative and Christian, they were also incredibly realistic and understanding. I even talked to my mom at age 17 and told her i was considering having sex with my long term bf. She said she'd rather me wait til I was married, but that she understood. Fast forward a week and I was a at home crying when my mom got home. I told her I didn't want to talk about it and she said it couldn't be any worse than what she assumed I was crying about. So I told her I lost my virginity. She was immediately understanding and said she had been talking to a coworker and that she had recommended I go to Planned Parenthood. All this to say she never judged me or made feel bad. And I could contrast this with my best friends parents, who were also conservative, devout Christians. They made it clear that if they found out their daughter was having sex they'd kick her out of the house. You can imagine my friend didn't tell her parents anything. I think my parents reaction just goes to show that you can hold certain values and want your kids to have them to, and also understand when they "mess up" or don't follow their guidelines like they want you to.
This is my hometown. To this day our entire community talks about how we know the mother knew something about the situation.
does everyone hate Skyler still? does she still have friends ? do you see her around town every now and then?
Same!!
She probably delivered the baby...
bhajdvjasvd they all hate her
bhajdvjasvd she still has her group of friends. I’m pretty sure she goes to community college around here online too. She was out partying the WEEK after her trial finished.
I think she definitely should've had mandatory therapy.

Mandatory therapy is usually part of probation

@@tayloranderson7547 she likely did
The mom definitely knew. The texts, the footage. It adds up
And honestly… most moms just KNOW things about their kids. Well… moms who are in tune with our children.
Absolutely!!
This mom should be held accountable. Her shallow outlook on "being thin" & pressure to be a certain way has all but destroyed her daughter..
Or the fact that the girl didn't need to purchase tampons for several months?
UPDATE: she got off probation a year early so she didn’t serve the full 3 years, only 1
I would have sued the clinic for the HIPPA violation “accidentally” emailing the mom. I think they were trying to tell her so she could help Skylar but I think we all know the mom’s first reaction wouldn’t of been to help her daughter , it woulda been shame and embarrassment…
It is also possible that mom's email was the default one on record depending upon when the online account was set-up. Skylar was only just barely 18, so I lean towards that being how mom got an email with the chart result.
*HIPAA
Rewind back to giving a teenager birth control when she's at least 6 months pregnant, possibly 8 months, and the doctor KNEW IT. I hope that doctor lost his license at minimum.
That’s exactly what I think too, and that’s why she didn’t tell her mom and gave birth all alone, but I fell like if the baby was alive she definitely would have told her mom because she would have to help
@@mamaseesa3122 Lose license for what? It shouldn’t be allowed to deny medication for people just because they’re pregnant anyway. Our health comes first. She clearly didn’t want the fetus.
To me I hold the parents the most accountable. There’s a reason she couldn’t come to them and I believe the mom knew and didn’t want this to come out.
She was 18 though legally grown at that point
I totally agree with you 👌
I would have to agree with the family being in on it. I don’t think people understand how hard it is to be silent while giving birth especially as a teenager. You would think someone would of checked on her at the time but “apparently not.”
@@prettyfiction9378 To be fair, most of us are still kids at that point regardless of what the law says. Hell, I still need my parent's help.

America seems to have this worrying obsession with criminalizing stillbirths. I don't think she should have been punished at all. She was dealing with a lot of issues already, dragging her though a court case is going to just further traumatize her. I hope she gets the help and compassion she desperately needs
No one in America wants to criminalize stillbirths.
@@ascendednightingale2456 Uh... I got bad news for you
what issues could she have been going through her boyfriend finding out that it wasn’t his baby that’s so bad
agreed. the entire experience even before law enforcement got involved must have been horrific. i have nothing but sympathy for this girl
@@ascendednightingale2456 America wants to criminalise a lot of stupid shit
I don't believe there is any way she buried that baby by herself after giving birth. I think the mother was involved.
it's not as uncommon as you might think, unfortunately.. there are monsters who have given birth and then taken the baby and put them in a box and left them in a park, or in a bag and thrown them in the river.. or thrown them in the dumpsters, and so many other atrocities that would make your skin crawl.. oh and in most of these cases the baby was definitely alive.
Right, i was just thinking giving birth in the bathroom without waking up the parents seems unrealistic... But then going out and burrying the baby!!
definitely her mom was behind the plan. i knew her personally and i don’t believe that skylar was behind 100% of it. i live in carlisle and this blew up. i know 100% that her mom cared so much about her family image. her mom controlled her life. she was too scared to tell her own mom about her pregnancy. i don’t think people should comment on this situation since no one knows the whole story.
At the end of the day no one know what exactly happened!! Skyler is the only one who know 100%
I was thinking the same thing, especially their texts to one another were really telling
I feel like she was put in a really bad situation with a mom who cared more about image than health
Exactly, I'm guessing mom criticised her for what she ate and how she looked which is what led to an eating disorder.. she knows how much her family cares about their fake "image" of a perfect family and teen pregnancy would shatter that which is why she hid it and did what she did..
Definitely, she seems very controlling. I feel like Skylar needs therapy rather than to go back to her parents
I agree, her mother seemed controlling and obsessed with image.
My theory:
I think Skyler tried all she could to abort the baby herself, when she heard she was pregnant. I believe the baby came out still born, due to Skyler trying to abort the baby. Skyler has such an unhealthy relationship with her family. It's made very clear how unwanted the child was, and how secretive Skyler wanted to be. They all need psychiatric help. This story is very upsetting.
The doctor giving her the prescription for birth control knowing she was pregnant isn't sitting well with me.
The doctor needs to be investigated
And apparently abortion isn’t murder.
People confuse me sometimes.
Candy candy cotton candy Cotton candy it’s not murder
Candy candy cotton candy Cotton candy uh yeah because abortion isn’t murder. Late term abortion only happens when the mother is at risk. Any other abortion is preformed on the underdeveloped fetus. If it cannot survive outside the womb, it’s not a viable life. The lungs don’t function when abortion is preforms. The brain doesn’t function when abortion is preformed. A heartbeat is NOT sign of life. An adult can be completely brain dead on life support with a heartbeat and they are still considered dead. You can disagree all you want but you’re still wrong. 🤷🏼♀️
FYI: Lots of people take birth control while pregnant (I did for nearly 2 months before I realized I was pregnant). I had a healthy baby and now have a normal 5 year old. I’ve run into several other moms whose babies began life on the pill as well. It happens. Birth control doesn’t seem to hurt the baby.
yeah because birth control only prevents ovulation. it can't terminate a pregnancy
Agreed. Medical student here, I really like Kendall but this was so disappointing to hear. Especially when she said “I certainly don’t know” and then proceeded on to say “who knows what it will do” implying that it potentially could harm the baby. And also the part about baby being healthy 11 days before birth, it can take as little as few hours for a baby to go from being completely healthy to being a stillborn. The lack of research on this one is disappointing
Lots of forms of birth control IE the pill or IUD tricks your body into thinking it’s already pregnant hence the side affects. So depending on what birth control you’re on it wouldn’t affect the baby whatsoever 🤍
By the time I found out I was pregnant, I was 15weeks along. I had been on the pill that whole time, antibiotics that shouldn't be had while pregnant and had celebrated 2 birthdays with nights out drinking.
Not once did my doctors show as much concern over being on the pill as they did about the other two things.
Skylar was never a daughter, she was a pet. Her mother groomed her from birth and is the cause of all of this.
Where is everybody finding this information about her mother?
I agree there is a huge possibility that she would have been kicked out and disowned by her family. There would have been a huge spotlight on her if she did come out to them about it. Since she was 18 I think she should have went to an adoption agency and if it did come out still born it would have been recorded as such, her parents wouldn’t have to know a thing.

and she could've died if something went wrong. I do feel bad for her, that's a lot of mistrust and fear.
Or her mom was in there helping her.
Im like 10 years older than her and I can’t imagine giving birth by myself in a bathroom. Considering that she gave birth that way & that she got no prenatal care i feel like it’s very possible the baby was born stillborn or extremely unhealthy or died because of the birth like so much can go wrong during birth that seem like small things but can have detrimental effects if not handled properly like I would be so interested in hearing a gynecologist or midwife’s perspective on this case
How did no one hear her give birth???? It had to hurt. Wth? I have 3 baby’s and there’s no way to be quiet while giving birth.
The mother is way too comfortable with this whole tragedy.
Those were my thoughts exactly! Where was the shock and horror when she faced her daughter? It was weird...
The moms a narcisisst, its all about the "perfect" outside image! The doughter is going after her sadly in her attitude!
I feel like once her parents came into the room, their presence was enough to get her to say exactly what they wanted her to. So they coerced her but her parent’s presence scared her into agreeing. Her mom knew exactly what was going on and gave no options
I think the mom helped her
My mom would have freaked out and kicked my ass in front of the police! Her mom was in on it!
Even at her trial she looked very ill. She needs all the help she can get.
Hi, doctor here, if you’re a minor we don’t have to tell your parents about pregnancy, STDs, or drugs. You are allowed to have privacy. You are also allowed to ask to have an appointment alone without your parents. If your parents are abusive, you can also ask us for help and we will file a report and protect you as much as we can. Don’t be afraid of us ❤️
Are such privacy laws and practices uniform across the U.S? I was of the understanding they varied by state.
@@davidkoloc1313 HIPPA is universal nationally
@@Kresteloona I understand it is with regards agencies and entities outside the immediate health care realm or concerns of a child patient. But I was under the impression that in some states, particularly in bible belt/pro-life regions, those laws are being/have been amended or circumvented regarding a minor child's right to keep information from their parents or legal guardians. I know it would not apply to Skyler Richardson's case as she was eighteen, just curious about the privacy issue generally. Thanks for the input.

@@nightmare1092 do you think the same for gypsy rose Blanchard?
Having one parent that was so overbearing and a step parent that was also worried about perfection, I totally understand why Skyler didn't go to her family about being pregnant. I only gained about 15lbs with my second baby and lost almost all of it when he was born, so only 15 lbs does not explain why the baby would have been still born. The eating disorder, however, does and it happens in a second, so just because there was a heartbeat 10 days before birth does not mean a thing. I do believe Skyler should have received more than probation, but her sentence should have been served in a mental hospital where she could have gotten the help she needs and gotten away from her overbearing parents. She needs to get away from them to learn how to be independent and make decisions on her own without having to worry about setting her parents off. I fear that's what happened over and over as she grew up and why she has such a severe eating disorder. What she put into her mouth is the only thing she had control over.
Well said
so ur telling me a mom who is “obsessed” with her daughter’s body image didn’t notice she was pregnant, AND no one noticed her giving birth in the bathroom and digging a hole in the backyard. i don’t believe it, her mom knew she was pregnant

Rebecca Russell I just had my son 4.5 months ago and there were times I thought he was going to break out of my skin when he would roll... I seriously don’t believe anyone that says they didn’t know they were pregnant, there’s no way.
@@sabrinab4245 pregnancies can be (I don't know the term but I will try to explain it) "inward" so basically the uterus leans more towards your back and therefore when the baby grows there's not a big stomach. There have been cases where women really didn't notice until months into the pregnancy. It's super rare but it's not unheard of (I really hope I explained it correctly I have no idea what the term for that is)
i like it so much when parents say "oh, she was such a closed person, she kept everything to herself, she didn't let anyone close to her, even us", like whose fault do you think it is? they say it like it happened kinda naturally, like their kid just suddenly decided to have trust issues, it irritates me.
I don't believe for one minute that the mother didn't know her daughter was pregnant. This girl got off too easy.
The doctor’s office “heard rumors” that she had the baby and buried it? How?? And how is “I heard a rumor” good enough for the police to go investigate?
If someone makes a report to the police they must investigate.
@@patriciacullen7328 lmao, maybe where you live. Meanwhile I've called the cops for shit and 3/4ths of the time they never showed up.
That’s what I’m already wondering ~ how did the drs office hear that rumor ?? And if she successfully hid her entire pregnancy, who did she tell??
i think they probably just knew she didn’t follow up and worried something bad had happened.
I seen when she went to get more birth control a nurse asked her "wheres your baby? Did you have the baby"? And she confided in that nurse who told the doctor and he then turned it in.
The mom knew 100%. 'Yay my belly is back???' She didn't want their perfect life to be ruined.

Yes - her mother should go to jail for abusing her child mentally for years...
THIS !
Absolutely! I'm not trying to defend what she did, because it obviously was wrong. I have some compassion for her, I come from a family that was abusive and I felt like I could never go to my mom about anything personal. My mother would become enraged, then because physically and verbally abusive. I completely understand why she hid her pregnancy from her parents, but I think she really needed to find some outside help. I can understand the fear she might have had though.
Yeah just looking at that dad… he’s scary
I’m conflicted on this one. From the texts it sounds like her mom could have been one of those mom’s that was more concerned about image and maybe unconsciously passed that behavior onto her daughter. Thus why Skylar did what she did to her new born. Because she wasn’t sure how her mom would react. We can never be certain. On the other hand her mom could have been one of those overbearing mothers who meant well but didn’t raise her daughter feeling like she could tell her mom everything. In the end it was Skylar’s actions that indicted her. Not defending the mom, just bring up other possibilities.
Some moms can be tough and scary but also understanding if given the chance. But often children only see the scary side and are unaware what their parents really mean.
It IS rather disgusting how cops will knowingly wear a POSSIBLY innocent person down and then SUGGEST ideas when they are at their most vulnerable and then claim it was a willing confession.
Whenever the person starts "confessing" in the same language the detective uses, I immediately think the confession is coerced - if someone is really confessing to an honest hunch by a cop, they will most likely confess in their OWN words, not just repeat what was suggested.. this kind of shit is disgusting, I agree.
I think there was actually an experiment made on this where they made totally innocent people confess to something they legitimately did not do and they even stared making up details they weren’t even accused of
@Charlotte Knepp Is reading hard for you? Or did you just not watch the video? They made her confess to things she DIDN'T do. I never said she didn't do it.
@Charlotte Knepp there was no actual proof that she would’ve killed the baby. She just buried it
@Charlotte Knepp I have no doubt if there were any evidence she killed her baby the prosecution would’ve presented, and beat her tirelessly over the head with it at the trial. Sorry but people don’t go to prison, or get burned at the stake anymore for that matter, because folks have hunches about their guilt.
That "confession" was definitely coerced, not only did they suggest those possibilities when she was at her most vulnerable but she used the same language as the detectives.
I agree. Oftentimes, detectives are pressured to get a conviction to fill quotas rather than figure out the truth of the case, which is awful but happens quite a lot.
I feel so bad for this girl... She was obviously terrified and felt she could not rely on her parents to help her. I cannot imagine giving birth alone in your bathroom. My first birth was traumatic, drawn out and insanely painful. To endure that alone, to feel that that is preferable to telling your parents or anyone else... She must have felt so scared and lonely. I'm sad for the baby too, but I'm certain she didn't kill her. I'm certain she was just trying to pretend it wasn't happening. Very sad story :(
This was a very disgusting act and she needs to be punished to learn never to do it again
Wtf… there is NO excuse for what she did. She DID kill her baby. There is no way you can pretend birth didn’t happen and that’s a weak excuse for murder..which is exactly what it was. I feel bad for the ACTUAL victim, the infant.

It’s literally been ruled that it was a stillborn birth. She did not kill her baby.
@@NoNonsense-h5vshe didn’t kill her baby. They were stillborn.
This girl was really unwell 😢 nobody in their right mind would behave as she did , I don't believe she murdered her for a second,I really don't.
I honestly feel so bad for her. No matter the angle I look at it, it’s hard not to see her in a victim’s light with all things considered. She was scared and so incredibly ill and clearly was being enabled by her family in possibly many many ways here. I think the parents, however, should have been looked at more closely and punished, if fitting. It seems like their role in this was truly atrocious and strong.
This is what I believe too. Having difficult parents, I can absolutely imagine being so afraid of their wrath that I could do what seems unthinkable to other people. I'm also not so convinced that her baby WASN'T stillborn even though a lot of the comments seem to think otherwise. There was no evidence that she killed it. No one supposedly awoke as she gave birth so maybe it didn't make a sound. Either that or they were all in on it.
Angel*
I believe that if she would have thought ahead about her decisions and see what could happen I the further future then maybe she would have not made the mistakes she did
her parents i feel should also have faced changers, its very clear she could not turn to them when she needed them the most, this I feel is sort of neglect, if that girl felt safe in talking to her mom or dad about her pregnancy none of this would have happened, I believe her mother knew, she was pregnant and was so obsessed with the perfect life image, she helped her to get rid of that baby, instead of just finding an adoption agency at least that baby would have had a loving home. I dont believe the baby was born dead, they wanted to keep it a secret they did not want anyone to know, she was more concerned about her body than her own child laying dead. These are the most disgusting people really. all I can say is well done to her mother, you sacrificed your daughter and grandchild for this none existent perfect fucking life you evil disgusting there are no words. There is no way that girl gave birth alone in the house with family and they knew nothing about it. Your first birth is the most painful thing she would have been screaming in pain. that girl mother knew 100% her daughter had a baby and who knows she could have killed the baby telling her daughter the baby was born dead. But for sure her mother knew.
@@mewhotkoko I believe her mother knew, i believe her mother was with her when she gave birth and added her to get rid of the baby, there is no way she gave birth quietly no way it is way too painful, the evidence unfortunately could not be conclusive because they only found the baby after 2 months, I believe her mother played a big hand in this.
If they’re worried about image then isn’t having a teen mum better than a muderer....... amazing
What
right!!! wouldn’t they have rather sucked in up and been grandparents and have those comments from people then have a murderer as a daughter!!! i think she should’ve told her parents what happened and like actually buried the baby.
yeah, I agree! The trial ruined their image more than the pregnancy...
I understand when things are thrown your way that don’t fit into what you have imagined for your/your family’s life, many choices were made here, could’ve been a a wonderful addition to their family or another who couldn’t have their own children etc.

@@abbigailcarr2725 lol that was my first thought. The bathroom could've been in an ensuite. Big houses mean you can't hear shit from across them. Hell, even the wall she shared with her brother could've been soundproofed/insulated. We've only got one room like that in our house and you can't hear anything in it.
Also, if the baby was a stillborn, the cries wouldn't have been heard...
I'm honestly shocked that the OBGYN still prescribed her the birth control... On the package of every pill I've taken, it clearly states that taking while pregnant could cause serious birth defects. The baby could've been healthy, but her taking those 11 pills could've killed her. Why hasn't there been more investigation on the doctor side?
The doctor should lose their license and be charged. They didn't help her at all and could have help to the baby dying.
This baby was 36 weeks. There was 100 percent no birth defects caused by birth control taken this late on.
The baby was already fully developed when she was given birth control. Birth control just makes your body think hormonally its already pregnant. Its most likely that the birth control did nothing to the child and it was instead Skylar sabotaging the pregnancy
Its less of the pills helping and the neglected of the doctor by giving her the pills instead of prenatal and being convinced that she didnt need the prenatal and the birth control was to appease her mother. He has a duty to that child as well since that is also his patient and didn't help her at all
I watched the trial on youtube. They said Skylar convinced him to give her the prescription so that her Mom wouldn't be suspicious. They were at the OB to get birth control and her Mom was in the waiting room, she couldn't not get it. The doctor said he would give it to her but didn't want her to fill it, and he would be watching to see if it was filled at a pharmacy, which I'm pretty sure it was. Maybe that's part of what made the Doctor on high alart.
Her mom has the Karen haircut. That alone is worrisome
ozgardea she wants to speak to your manager.
She wants to speak to your manager.
😂😂😂😂 true
That was literally what I thought about when I saw her
It says a lot lol
This is my first time seeing your show. I love how open you are about EVERYONES feelings. I don’t care what race, color or greed you are. I have no opinion about your life. Everyone is different. That’s great. That makes us who we are. Individuals living in the same place. We should all love and care for one another. This case is very hard on the heart. That’s all I’m going to say because I don’t walk in that young girls shoes. No one knows, I don’t even think she knows how she felt at the time. I wish everyone a Happy and joyous Christmas.
The BIGGEST criminal here is that “mother” of hers. #disgusting
Yeah even in those crappy black and white police vids, you can see she shows no empathy. Doesn't even give her a full hug. I would have been apologizing to my daughter, not the other way around, to begin with.
drivethrupoet exactly just sad, the mother was responsible for all the damage since the beginning. As a parent you’re suppose to love your kid and teach them to love themselves
Why she’s normal she’s there and around not everyone is perfect bud
@@drivethrupoet whaaattttt people don't process information same way.some people want to hug others don't
Kiki Vee yes but in this particular case and with all the evidence proving the mom could be guilty this type of behavior is off.
I got 3 months in jail and 2 years probation for stealing chocolate milk and a Swiss roll when I was homeless. -
I am sorry that happened to you! Breaks my heart!
Wow sorry. Such a fucked up system
And meanwhile this girl cremated the child and buried it...it...no jail time
wow...
WHAT!?!?!
yay, my belly is back?!?!?!? her mom knew. this is disgusting
!!!!
She did know it’s obvious but they didn’t have any legal evidence so they couldn’t arrest her but I CAN NOT AGREE MORE TO WHAT YOURE SAYING
Yeah that's super weird
RIGHT!!!!!!
Disgusting family
This is a sad sad case. It's especially heart wrenching when you can't get pregnant and have a baby of ur own.
I personally find the “cremated with a lighter” story VERY hard to believe. I mean it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that 1. A lighter wouldn’t get hot enough to even begin the cremate a body so I can’t fathom why she would try it and 2. The smell. There’s no way if she had attempted to burn the body that no one in the house wouldn’t have noticed a smell even hours later if they weren’t home when she attempted to do it.
they said themselves that brooke was actually quite smart, i agree that this part of the story is a hoax.
12:46 it was a lie
Facts, I can’t even cook a hot pocket without the whole house knowing!
I watched the whole trial online when it happened and that little bit of false info wasn’t even admitted in court. The prosecutions “expert” that said that wasn’t even called to testify.
where did she get a lighter tho
Sounds like her mother helped her have and get rid of the baby.
In the news video she literally speaks for her. That way she can prevent her daughter from slipping up. They obviously care about their public image more than privacy. Or they wouldn’t of talked to anyone.
I think the mother wanted her to do all this. Probably would've kicked her to the streets of she said anything about it, or lock her up and starve her. From everything I'm reading, it gives me that feeling. But we'll probably never know for sure.
i agree. i believe her mother knew and her boyfriend knew
Yes I agree!!!!
The way she tried grabbing her fathers hand for comfort and he kinda just backed away really upset me, there is a reason why she doesn’t go to them.
I really love how this comment got big with a lot of different opinions and statements! I truly don’t disagree with any of you but makes me think more hard about this situation.
Also I hope you all had a good day ❤️
See I noticed he pulled away too but wondered if he was in shock and honestly, disgust, after hearing what his daughter did to his granddaughter and he couldn’t comfort her in that moment. Completely agree that there is a reason she doesn’t go to them, I just think the mom is that reason.
@@Megan.Leigh.V it's not like he knew the baby though, consoling his daughter when she's so distraught should be his first instinct anyways
@@user-jw3xm3yj9t What??? It’s your granddaughter. You don’t need to know them to love them. Have you ever been a parent?? If not then shut up because what you said is absolutely false. He literally just found out that his daughter buried his granddaughter in his backyard and he has been sleeping next to his granddaughters rotting corpse. Would you tell a woman who had a miscarriage that she shouldn’t be upset because she “Didn’t know the baby”. No, that’s ducking insensitive. It is literally human nature to love your offspring in relatives, whether you have met them or not. What do you think? Do you think babies come out of the womb and the parents have to LEARN to love them?? “oh yeah, I don’t really love her YET, I think I need to get to know her a little better first, maybe take her out to dinner some more, maybe then I’ll love her” like wtf
Edit: even if it wasn’t his granddaughter, finding out you are sleeping next to a rotting baby corpse would STILL BE DISTRESSING. I would probably vomit in disgust or cry. The situation is just EVEN WORSE because it was his granddaughter.
@@rattian1976 You completely missed my point shut the fuck up
@@user-jw3xm3yj9t It's still a human. Baby, toddler, pre teen, teen, young adult, adult, elderly, etc it doesn't fucking matter. I lose respect for you regardless of family relations. You killed a baby. Accident or not. A life was taken in your hands. End of story, no sympathy. I feel for the father here. Now if the father had further involvement I'd lose respect for him also, and take back what I said. I can admit fault and move on. Nevertheless again, a baby died. Remember that.
I hope and pray that my daughter always knows she can come to me about anything. That’s just so sad. I hope I’m nothing but supportive and encouraging of her.
I honestly feel like the family knew about the baby but didn’t want to ruin their ‘perfect’ family so they just hid the fact she was actually pregnant🤷🏼♀️
I dont think so, her body hid it well
i live in carlisle and i have met her and her parents did know
@@ellienoe3689 Big oof then
i’d love to know how the doctor isn’t getting sued for prescribing birth control pills to a pregnant girl....
Honestly!
Shame she’s only 18. Plus the doctor didn’t know she’d actually take the birth control.
My guess is it might have been in hope she would miscarry.
Most birth control would have minimal to no effect on a pregnancy. The pill actually increases specific hormones to trick your body into already believing it’s pregnant so your body doesn’t release a new egg.
@@peachycreme5435 are you a doctor or just a YT troll?
It's so nice to see compassion for Skylar. 44 years ago, my mother hid her pregnancy with me. Her pregnancy was discovered 4 days before I was born. She was 16, and my grandmother was one of the most tyrannical, abusive, evil individuals I have ever known. I can only imagine how terrified my mother was. She still, at over 60 years old, carries the guilt and shame as if it happened yesterday. I think it's very traumatizing when a girl or woman has to hide a pregnancy. If you're a parent, I hope you've made it known to your daughter (and/or son) she can come to you for anything, because you never know what could happen.
It's all about the love as a parent. Skylars mom has only love for her narcissistic self!!!
@@kathleenyoxheimer5572 I hear you, which is probably why Skylar hid the pregnancy.
It sounds like your mom raised a strong woman :)
The mother knew
so what about the fact that your mother was 16 and pregnant... not going to delve into that red flag? Thats in itself shows she was most likely rebilous and up to no good, and these are the consequences. Take responsibility for your own actions.
I’ve had three children and I cannot imagine giving birth without anyone in the house noticing, then getting up after an medicated birth, murdering the baby, cleaning up all traces of blood and fluids effectively, then finding a shovel and having the strength to dig a hole no one would notice to burry the baby in all while no one in the house noticed all of this taking place? You can barely walk after giving birth nevermind a cleaning spree and digging exercise. Not to mention your milk coming in over the next few days causing engorgement, leaking, a fever, pain etc. I just can’t imagine the mom didn’t know
I’m placing my blame on Skylar’s mom. The pressure she felt to be “perfect”, that came from her.
Of course, it’s always the mother! Good luck to you April
Normally, I don't judge people based on superficials, but Skylar's mom has that meme Karen-haircut.
not just mom.. parents.
If it’s not thing , it’s the mother.
She clearly didn’t want the baby to ruin her relationship with her new boyfriend. Her priorities are fucked up. Anyone who has kids knows she should spend the rest of her life in treatment and prison. This is disgusting. No matter what. You don’t do that. Only a bad person would do that. She does not deserve to be a member of society.
This girl must’ve had a GREAT lawyer
@Jenny Moreau Oh, you bet she did. In fact, she had _two:_ Charles H. Rittgers and Charles M. Rittgers of Rittgers & Rittgers, Attorneys at Law, both of whom are members of the ‘Multi Million Dollar Advocates Forum’, one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States, of which fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members.
She was also white and rich 🙄
@Sharon Abitbol Yeah, just like O.J. Simpson!
Great lawyer = pretty little white girl
Really?? Lmaooo more like White Privilige 🙄
Skyler did not feel like it was safe to talk to her parents. Obviously, no true friends either. She was alone.
yes so lets kill than because my parents may be not too happy about tennage pregnancy are you stupid or what???do you think thats many parents would be thrilled that their 18 years old teenager got pregnant in high school ???
Having alot of people around and being "popular" doesn't mean you have friends or a good relationship with people.
lyanna lyanna Wasn’t proven that she killed the baby.
@@Missconduct044 it wasnt proven either way...that was the problem. They couldnt tell.
She obviously told someone because the police found out she buried a baby in her garden from rumours
