A Duty Of Care: The Tragic Case Of Kiesha Weippeart
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- On 1st August 2010, a 000 call was made from Mount Druitt in Western Sydney. A little girl had been tucked into bed by her mother the night before, but as morning broke, she had vanished. The call to police that morning would be the beginning of an investigation into one of the most shocking and appalling crimes Australia had seen.

Poor little Kiesha was born into a nightmare of abuse, violence & despair. She never stood a chance. RIP little one.
Amen..✝️..🕊️
I don't get why mothers like that don't give the child to someone...
You give it to anyone in your family.
You are free and the child too.
You never go to prison and the child grows up in a safer place.
So many cases like that.
Our society must accept that some mothers do not love their kids. Don't force them to. Let's guide them to give the child to adoption or to another family member....
Keisha’s natural father was left depressed and guilt ridden and later committed suicide …..
@@tintinhickey5869 That's just really sad all around..🥺😢😔..🙏..🦘🇦🇺
@@samsamcupcakes6476 the majority of the time, Family Members HAVE tried to receive custody of the child. But the POS, self centered, abusive monster is too self righteous, too worried about what everyone would think of her giving her child to someone else and MOST IMPORTANTLY She needs to “be in control”, “only wants their child there so they can abuse them and it’s a way of thinking she is in control and has all the power. They both should have been put to death immediately after the guilty verdict.
At the funeral, the little girl who said “It wouldn’t be fair to say you’re in a better place now because you should be here…” is wise beyond her years. ❤
I really hate those pat answers that people give, thinking they're helping: "God's will" "Gone to a better place" "All in god's plan/hands" "It was their time" -- just awful things to say. That little girl's honesty is awesome.
Life is precious. Death is "the enemy" according to the Bible.
Yeah. I have never understood that "they're in a better place now" nonsense that people always use. I understand that, for the most part, they're just trying to help but... that kind of rubbish doesn't help anything.
Where is god when all of these poor children are abused and killed?
@@Johnieboi it's amazing how people live a life without god, doing whatever they like and what makes them feel good regardless of morality but when something bad happens, they love to blame God.
A lot of people suspected Christie from the beginning. Crocodile tears, making no effort to look for her daughter, her nastiness towards those trying to help. Terrible to think what this child went through
Plus she said so many iiiiiiiihihiiiiiiiiihuhiiiiiiinsiffsniffiiiis it’s barely possible to even process her lies
The way she started the emergency call was a big red flag. Instead of saying "my daughter is missing! I need help. We cant find her anywhere", she says 3 or 4 non-urgent things before saying her daughter is missing.
People seeking true help normally get to the point within one or two sentences.
The first minutes of this video say it all: “Have you checked all the unit?”…..”I’ve just gotten up” and several sentences later: “She’s not here. I’ve looked everywhere.”
And that press conference. The guy literally never made eye contact. And the mom didn’t say anything but incoherent rambling. If your child is missing I’d want you to hear every word that comes out my mouth CLEARLY
was working in Marrickville!, at the time?, I remember STRESSING!, to my Colleagues!, it's the MOTHER!, couple of days later?, you were right Ed!.
Kiesha received more love from total strangers than she ever did from those monsters that she called 'parents'.
I can't believe the mother wasn't arrested at the hospital when they saw a cigarette burn on Kiasha. Wtf is wrong with people allowing her to keep her daughter. A bruise could be explained but not a cigarette burn.
This monster killed her little boy before her daughter was even born🤬
her life might have been saved then, if some action was taken. Why on earth did she not hand her little girl over to childrens services? After all ,she had called her father and said she was going to hurt or kill Kiesha? And he just stays quiet? What a terrible group of people. Many people failed this child, but the parents are responsible, not anyone else. I will never understand how a parent can do this to their own child.
Because she’s the mother.she can do no wrong in their eyes
@@Cpt95001 Not even slightly correct. I watched my father do this and get away with it time and time again. People knew. People just felt more comfortable doing nothing, because he was the man of the house, and they thought it was his right.
At least try basing your prejudice in fact.
@@bec5250no, it's definitely a woman's world when it comes to kids and custody. That i Clyde's getting away with neglect
This vile woman had clearly never heard of contraception, nor adoption. Poor, poor child. Vile creatures. So sorry Kiesha 💜🐭🌹
That guy that was selling stuff to raise money cared more about that baby girl than her own parents. There’s some evil people out there that sadly end up being “parents”…
Pft own parents killed her but that wonderful man and family was just putting salt in her guilty wound how she took it, truth hurts her bad. 💯
Her father was unwell, he died.
And all they cared about was getting their hands on that $300 bucks. "Where's the money goin? Where's the proof?" Unbelievable
@@jr7845 so what? Her father was a deadbeat!
@@_HimToo that's what it sounded like to me too. Gross.
The fact this person had TWO babies die while in her care has left me speechless! This NEVER had to happen and now I'm just double sad to hear about poor baby Ethan...
Yeah I bet she killed that poor little boy too. She hated those kids because they looked like their dad.
WHAT ????
SHE MURDERED AGAIN?
I GET MAD !!
It’s baby Ayden..
She obviously needs to be spayed. Clearly emotionally and intellectually retarded. She must be to think that she has anything to offer a child.
Ayden
16 to 22 years for her child’s life and burning body. This kind of evil can’t be fixed. Life should mean life.
Way too light of a sentence!!
I hope they meet there maker once out.
And I thought the United States was soft on crime. 😢
@@duckmama6970💯 😢
Australia and New Zealand are soft as on murder sentencing but get caught growing weed and you get longer lol. I had a friend intentionally ran down at a party and the person got 18 months
The Authorities in Australia refuse to do anything to protect children being abused. This is a rampant issue here- all the talk of cyclical abuse in this story is because even with authorities KNOWING a child is being harmed- just like they knew in this case- they do nothing. This case is not rare here. On top of that, after years of torture, then murder, then burning and hiding the body of their SECOND child dead in their care- the parents got ridiculously light sentences as is also the norm in Australia
What a shame, why couldn't they give her life in prison?
One of the biggest problems is the department is under-funded & under-staffed!
Social-welfare workers are under-paid, overworked & then burn-out, so they leave, meaning that cases are shifted to other staff-members. It's no wonder abused children aren't receiving the attention they need!
@@panther666 HEAR HEAR - USA IS JUST AS BAD AND SUPPOSEDLY UNDERSTAFFED/ UNDERPAID…. ( idk if i really believe this - but who am i ) I THINK THAT IS JUST AN EXCUSE. J/S :-/
@@stevie-ray2020 I don't care how over worked they are. This case worker who took no action after finding cigarette burns on her is inexcusable. If your job is to protect children, then you better do your damn best to do that. I don't care if your tired or have worked a long day. Cps is an utter failure world wide and there's no excuse for it
I am a Foster mother for teenagers, and through the years I have heard so many terrifying stories. It is also a very huge problem in the USA, and sadly it will get worse now that so many women do not have access to legal, safe reproductive care.
It never fails to upset me with how globally children are not protected from violent parents.
💯💯💯
How can a parent kill a beautiful six year old beautiful child
The most infuriating part is that the courts rightfully so, gave custody to the dad. But then reversed that decision for no reason. Courts notoriously side with mothers even when they have evidence that the "mother" is a monster. Had they left her alone with the dad, she'd be alive today. Poor baby.
Well put
@@Em22-wtf That is so true. And sad for father and daughter.
I knew it was them from the 6 minute mark. During that appeal for news of her whereabouts, Robert said “She WAS always happy…”. You don’t use past tense if you still believe they are alive. 101 of guilt in interviews! RIP Kiesha, you deserved so much better!!
Yes! I noticed this straight away, it’s an instant red flag! X
You’re right. Me too. I realized it was the parents on the 6th minute. The way they spoke, acted and reacted. And as use said, the use of past tense.
I don’t ever want to hear that how these brutal, cold-blooded murderers were suffered and abused when they were at young ages. It is not an excuse. And I am fed up of these excuses. Not every abused or suffered child turn into monsters.
Another child was let down by the authorities! 😡😡😡😡😡
My mother died in 1997 and I still sometimes refer to her in the present tense. This immediately jumped out to me as well.
Imagine being the neighbor and defending them so fiercely, only to find out she was helping them. I cannot imagine.
@Last Chance She helped them by defending them.
@Last Chance she unintentionally helped them. I feel bad for Allison honestly, she was just doing what was best in her heart but was completely lied to the entire time
Just like the grandfather who wanted to see the evidence first, they couldn't have imagined what a monster she was.
When you are not a monster, your brain doesn't go there.
@@sutherngirrl7590
Well said !
Very wise !
Keep your Conscience Clean.
Otherwise we end up in situations like this.
Hell.
Can’t believe they had the audacity to ask to go to the funeral. Absolutely no shame or remorse. All the obvious signs of abuse were there and it’s crazy she was able to get that baby back. I really hope the police can pursue Aidens case and give this soulless monster more time cause she truly doesn’t deserve a second of freedom! Rip baby girl 💗
It’s just an act, just like when she pretended to cry. There was not one tear for her 6 year old daughter
@@paulchristopher8634 It was such an amateur attempt to appear to be heartbroken. No tears or snot. It's heinous.
They are narcissists- they want attention as attendees. The case is so vile.
Id have had a funeral with people who loved her then brought the culprits to join imagine the outpouring of hate .
Disgusting b shocking
The family knew, the friends who came over their house knew, at least some of the neighbors noticed. It took a village to fail this child.
What really breaks my heart is when they show pictures or videos of young victims, who are born into terrible situations. They are trying to be happy, no matter the hand they were dealt. They didn't deserve what happened to them. What greatness, and true happiness could they have achieved in life, if given the chance?
Maybe they'd end up like their parents or they'd rise above. Who knows? They could've done anything and didn't get the chance. Even when born in shitty circumstances, one deserves a chance.
This makes me so sad. I never comment but as someone who struggles with mental health and struggles to just look after myself in general I made a decision long ago that I wouldn’t have kids. If I can’t give everything I have to a child I wouldn’t bring them into the world. It’s not fair to them. I wish more people decided not to have kids when it’s clear they aren’t fit or ready to be parents. RIP Angel ❤ So proud of Alison.
I hope your struggles are a bit easier. You are amazing for making a very hard decision. I hope you are proud of the person you see in the mirror💜
I did the exact same thing. I couldn't provide for myself and the last thing I could ever ever do to my own child is being them into a world of poverty and hardship. This life is for the people with money and family and I wasn't lucky enough to have either of those two things. Poverty is poverty. And there isn't one excuse for people who knowingly cannot provide a great life to their own child and still go ahead and have one. I'm happy with my decisions. Kids need us to be able to provide. The World is too harsh for battling generation after generation.
@@zoespiteri5034 I am truly in awe of how much thought and maturity you put into the decision regarding having children. If only more women could realize that not everyone should have children and that not everyone should have more than one. Children are crazy expensive. I married at 25 I thought he was a good provider and would be a good father and husband. I was so very wrong. I was played and struggled in a bad marriage for 14years. He was perfect until my youngest was born and the the cracks started to show. The night we left it was me, a 5yr old and a 2yr old and the cloths we were wearing. I knew that night 1. We would not go back. 2. I was done having children as I knew raising the 2 I had alone would be hard and financially almost impossible. And 3. I would not even think about dating until my children were grown and did not need or want lol my full attention. Now I have zero desire to date. I'm very happy and content and I cannot think of a single thing a man could change. I won't waste my time or his. I have so much respect for you. I truly hope your life is happy and full of love and happiness.💜
@@kimberlymarino7344 sorry to hear that and it's commendable how you went ahead and become everything your kids needed to grow. So many broken relationships and the suffering that comes with it. So glad you got out of it as early as you did. Thanks for your lovely comment and yes I've got a great life now. I come from that very broken home and had to bring myself up as my mother died of leukaemia and my father didn't want me or my siblings. It's been a tough life but I'm glad I made my life the way it is without children lord knows that I'm a very good example as to how hard it can be. No repeat sadness for my children I couldn't do it to them. Thanks for the kind words.😊
Yes Alison was a very kind woman and she was shattered wasn't she. People like Alison make a big difference in this world she is a shiny star how much Kiesha meant to her. I hope she is doing well in her new role making a difference in the lives of other children who will benefit from her input as a kind and beautiful woman to someone else's child. Go Alison you are a beautiful person thanks for making a difference.
The grandmother who was “furious”… didn’t seem “furious” for not having contact with Kiesha for years! This whole story makes my heart so heavy! Rest in peace sweet baby girl! 💕
poor little 💦💦☹️☹️💔💔😭😭😔😞😞🖤🖤💗🙏🙏🩵🩵💛💛💚
Aidan died, numerous red flags, like what is actually wrong with authorities? Kiesha attended school 4 times, 4 times, and tbh nothing was done, this little girl was physically abused on a regular bases, not allowed to go to school, as teachers would see, and action would be taken. The amount of people who can not have children, would make caring, loving, compassionate parents. I'd still fight to the death for my child, she is 26. rip Aidan, Kiesha, and Chris
Authorities get absolutely dragged when they take children away from parents, especially ones like that mother in this one.
You guys stop that, and something might begin to change.
It's not surprising they think very long and hard before removing children considering the terrifying history of abuse by Catholic institutions and care facilities in general and the literal extermination of aboriginals by the government in Australia. Then there is the forced removal of aboriginal children for forced conversion to Christianity and Western upbringing which also led to brutal abuse.
Aboriginal children have gone through hell at the hands of white Christians and so they think very long and hard before taking their children away. A lot of the cyclical abuse in the aboriginal community comes from years of abuse by white Christians. They brought alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, slavery and mass extermination programs to the aboriginal people of Australia.
You can imagine that they don't react well to whites coming into their communities and taking their children "for their welfare" as every time they have said that in the past those kids face hell on earth.
Chris does not deserve to be resting in peace, he was as bad as the mother!
@@mjanny6330 what are you on about?
*basis not bases.
Her voice on the emergency call varies , going from crying hysterically to being suddenly coherent when answering questions. She didn’t sound like a distraught mother to me, she seemed to be garnering attention.
The mom reminds me of another mom of a case I recently learned of. Cherish Periwinkle. Proceed at your own risk. Trigger warning.
@@edlinquintero-espinoza7573 that has to be the worst case I've heard of in all the decades I've spent following true-crime.
And the line she's going spin was the first thing out her mouth not hysterically saying my daughters missing and the doors open and that fake crying was pitiful. What a rank pair of monsters!
@Punkyduckscn
You noticed that, too?
Especially talking about "ROBERT & two other children".
And how rude was she at the Sheriff's Office??
I'd have been hard-pressed not to slap her off the chair with that mouth of hers
TV I tought so too
Investigator: *breathes*
Christie: WhAt ArE you TrYiNg To SaY?!?!?
16 years?? What a disgusting sentence for a monster who violently abused that dear little angel child all of her life. How can this be fair to Kiesha? Darling little girl, I hope you are happy with the angels. Bless you.
How on earth were they not given life!? If this case doesn't deserve life, what does???
I feel like Aussie is sometimes like New Zealand when it comes to sentencing. NZ has only given a life sentence once that i can think of - to the mosque mass shooter. Murderers dont get actual life in NZ, and obviously not is Aussie.
Especially in NZ, 'life' is not actually life
There's nothing where we go when we die, but it's the most blissful nothingness. No stress, no fear, no discomfort- no sense of self or others. It's absolute peace- like being in the cosmic womb. And maybe, someday, we are reborn from there and given life anew.
@@mf5985don’t worry, you know what happens in jail when inmates find out the reason they are there…
How can a "mom" be so incredibly cold? She never even wanted Kiesha. I hope the other prisoners take some prison revenge on Kristi.
I agree!!! Women prisoners hate mothers who kill there children or stand by men who do it! Hope she faces some real hard women in there who wipe the floor with her!!!!
Oh yeah, I hope so too
Good ol prison justice👍🏽
She’s in strict protection, she won’t ever cross paths with regular prisoners, she will only be around other strict protection inmates.
Strict protection is specifically for high profile cases, it’s not like regular protection.
On the last few years of her sentence she will be moved to a unit in a minimum security prison or department of corrections unit in the public where she will get a name change, go shopping, have overnights at her family’s house, go to the cinema etc and will be released with department of housing home and a brand new name.
I’ve seen it happen with other kid killers, it’s disgusting.
Back in the day officers would give them a touch up but these days everything is recorded and too risky for them.
@@sarahaiken7089 I hope you are wrong
i like how when she tells she has 2 more kids you can tell how concerned the operator gets
I lived with a lot of stress as a young mother and know what that can do, but if you're at a breaking point you walk away, never ever take frustration out on anyone, especially children, animals, disabled, elderly, anyone who is vulnerable. That is inexcusable.
Count to 10 walk away.
When I used to get angry & frustrated with 3 small kids - I'd go downstairs to chill for 10 mins. I would never have allowed myself to lose control & hurt my children. I still tell Mum's to this day to make sure your kids are safe then remove yourself for a break - it works.
Unfortunately my Mom ddnt get the memo😂
I would go outside my backdoor and count to 100, then had a cigy
( yes i know that's bad for you + i gave up in 20•06.) Then when i went back inside my mood had changed. I recomend time out for the adults.❤❤❤
@@glynisbaglow2169hey, whatever works!
I was shocked by the friends and family who ignored the abuse that Kiesha went through. Too many people were aware of what this child went through; including both sets of grandparents. So many people knew of the physical, verbal and emotional abuse, including the mother's best friend. She had been missing for a month at least and none seemed to be interested including those closest to her. What those people were interested in was getting in front of the newscameras
Yeah. All those weeping neighbours and friends beating their chests after the child was found murdered. Where were they when the child was alive and suffering torture at the hands of her mother? They are hypocrites and they should hang their heads in shame rather than showing their faced on TV. Disgusting.
What about all the teachers, as well as hospitals, not to mention the CPS, all of them let that little girl down, CPS were even told by the child that her mom had burnt her with a fag and she was sent home with her. I think everyone let this little angel down, people with more power to protect her than the neighbours.
The video said family and teachers reported injuries many times. Keisha only went to school 4 times. She didn’t have much contact with teachers.
What baffles me is why CPS didn’t do anything when they found her bruised and cigarette-burned!
@@danielleoldfield5952 They all reported abuse. It was the authorities who put her back with her mom and ignored the reports.
What are you talking about? Did you not hear - they did report it. Many people did. Selective hearing
The amount of times Kiesha and her brother were failed by the system 😭😭 RIP little angels
Ok, the minute the mom said she went to the toilet after waking up even before saying her daughter is missing I knew she was guilty. Poor little darling. Rest in peace little angel Kiesha💜
I knew that the mom's crying was more a wailing sadness over her role in this child's probable death, rather than a panicked response that any loving parent would convey in an emergency. While everyone grieves differently, panic is pretty much uniform in parents of a missing child.
@@josi4251 exactly. And the way her voice changed when the 911 dispatcher asked for Robert's name. That there was such a clear indicator that she wasn't panicked at all when she clearly stated his name.
Exactly !!! I was like this b***h did it, she sounded to fake, not a mom hysterical for her missing child.
Should have gotten a life sentence. Isn’t it time society created a drop off facility for a child whose parent can’t cope?
I knew something was wrong when the dispatcher asked if she searched the entire unit for Kiesha before calling the police, and she said no.
She's wearing sunglasses to hide the fact that there's no tears. Completely demon posessed. You put so much time and energy into creating these videos. You are so professional, so compassionate and respectful of the victim(s), not like Netflix, who make the seriel killer look like a victim( one of many reasons I don't subscribe to netflix) That mother is dead behind the eyes.
I concur!
"Demon possessed" lol.
Crocodile tears, that’s why she had sunglasses in. Rotten monster POS!
right? this fake crying makes me sick!!
Exactly what I thought!.
The family, friends and neighbors SAW her horrific abuse towards Keisha and they stayed away for months, weeks and years. Her paternal grandparents " were surprised to hear she was living with her mother". Why hadn't they even checked on her or just called or stopped by. Now everyone is devastated. Where was all this vigor when she was being beaten in front of them. Sick
If CPS is anything like what it is in QLD. You can report, report, report, report , they do not update you, if you don't see the kid or aren't allowed too, you have absolutely no knowledge of what's occurred. There's also the fact CPS seem to sit on their hands a fair bit depending on the case.
@@nelliem3935 they admitted to seeing her being abused. You don't see or hear from her nor CPS for at least 2 years. Now you are devastated that she's been murdered. I just don't believe they had any genuine concern.
@cocean158 I don't think you're grasping what occurred. There were reports, and CPS did nothing. Also , when you've made a report and the child disappears and CPS aren't allowed to tell you anything, is your first thought the kids dead or CPS have done their job for once.
@@nelliem3935 I understand that. I'll give you an example. Say you had a fire and called 911. The fire department (CPS) shows up, verified your house (your grandchild) is indeed on fire then leaves without doing anything. You get in your car and go to work like you do everyday. Why are you shocked when you get home more than 8 hours later that your house has burned down?
@cocean158 how do you even get to that analogy? They specifically said family, friends, and school teachers reported it (numerous reports) . Family members are limited in what they can do regarding information and permission. Concerned family are more often than not cut off from the family members once they voice their opinion or note an injury. It's avoidance.
Also, CPS seem to meet repeat complaints with the look that they're investigating, but nothing ever seems to culminate.
How was this woman allowed to have kids in her care!? All the signs were there, her childhood and early behaviour when around children. Her demeanour were all red flags. She was not maternal or caring for her kids whatsoever! I dread to think how this poor child suffered before her death. It sounds like her short life was torture! RIP little Angel! ❤😢
Allison if you're out there reading this - you are a good person. I thank you for helping other children in need
She never saw a mark on that battered kid before? Or he'd mum doing something awful to her?
I don't think Allison is guilty of any crime but she knows she should of done something sooner, why she's doing so much now.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing I know but it's still true.
The comment I was looking for ! Allison definitely fights her own quilt now , and probably thinks she could have done more for this beautiful baby,but she is the good one!
@@WezzleG kids get bruises tho, my nephews always has them so I think its hard to tell whats from play or clumsiness vs abuse (just to say my nephews aren't being abuses - obviously its different if she saw a burn or if Kiesha said that mum did it. I think she does feel guilt for missing warning signs and I agree thats why she's doinh so much. i feel her anger that a mother (or anyone) could do something so vile to a innocent child.
This reminds me of the case of Gabriel Fernandez.. it's gut wrenching to know that there are parents that abuse children like this
The cruelty that little girl endured rocked and shocked Australia. Thank you for treating her story with such respect.
💜
Sure did. I’ll never forget this story ❤
Breaks my heart 😢. All the horrible things the mother did to that poor little girl… She is a MONSTER
Yes, I remember. It sickened everyone.
That poor baby looks so sad and worn down in every picture 😢 Aww man, this is absolutely heartbreaking
Yes very sad. They need a bashing. Porr little angel
Already the baby boy looked so sad 😢
Yes indeed..she looks ill, worn down and ultimately a battered child...horrific..rest in peace baby
I noticed that as well. It’s heartbreaking. She was failed.
I had a very similar childhood to Kiesha, I am 42 and I still flinch when people make sudden moves, I scream when I bump into people and any unexpected noise startles me. It scars you for life and you never heal. I hope this doesn't sound mean, but Kiesha is in a much better place now. As a young child, I believed all the torture was my fault, and I would pray to God every night to let me die so the pain stops. My heart breaks for Kiesha and her little brother, and all the innocent, defenseless children that fall victims to these monsters. May her abusers rot in jail
Those times are over. The shame is theirs not yours. ❤️ I hope you heal.
This was a heartbreaking case. I just remember thinking "How can a mother hate her own child this much? " ... 😥
And like, if she hated her so much, she should have just given her up. Dropping her at a hospital, something!
This leaves the child confused the most, thinking of any way to please her.
My first thought exactly
She hated the dad and that's why she took all that hate and rage out on that sweet child... She's a real bogan.. No class no heart loud and brash.. I hope she other 2 kids want nothing to do with her ever..
Lack of ability of developing an emotional connection to a human being/lack of empathy due tue untreated childhood trauma. ✔ 🤷♀️
Don't know if anyone else noticed.. But when Robert was doing the interview at 6 minutes into the story, he referred to Keisha in the past tense, saying she LOVED playing instead of saying she LOVES playing..
Also very shifty body language
Yes, I caught that too. 🥺
Yep that's so telling. Parents do anything to cling to hope that their baby is alive. When they switch to past tense like this it's because they know and accept that the child is dead
Many noticed that. Read the comments.
This is the most depressing/disturbing story I’ve heard. My stomach is turning. (And I watch a lot (far too much) true crime.)
The cases with children always break my heart. They’re so innocent and have never done anything to deserve the horrific things they endure. Rest In Peace little one. ❤
This whole case is beyond disturbing. So many people failed this child. Not all people who are abused go on to abuse others so the judge siting that as a reason is just a cop out. Allison wasn’t watching closely . If she was as close as she says she was to this child, then she saw signs of abuse. I think she likes the spotlight and I think she failed this little girl too. This should never have happened if people were responsible and did their jobs . So utterly ridiculous and angering . Rip sweet Kiesha. I’m so very sorry you were betrayed by SO many. 🙏🏼💙
I don't remember Allison as being any kind of hero in this story
I agree. Allison couldn’t possibly have been ignorant to the abuse. She seemed to thrive on all the attention. Her grief seemed very contrived. The sad truth is that nobody cared about Keisha. Not a soul in this world.
@@shambolicrhetoric6143 Alison went on to get a degree in child heath care. just because she was a friend does not mean she was privy to what was going on in the household. I doubt she was invited in for coffee's etc.
@@hodaka1000 She did go on to help others though.
@@janetpendlebury6808 you do realise that Alison helped the mother get the little girl back from foster care right before she was killed, right? The mother made it clear she didn’t even WANT her back and Alison acknowledges that she convinced her to fight because “you need to do the right thing”. She also does not have a degree.
Truly horrific, maddening and sad. Their prison terms are far too short.
What a heartbreaking story. The system failed a child again. Thank you for giving it such respect and focus. I started yelling at my phone when you mentioned that Kiesha was given back to her mother after the biting incident... When she got angry at the cops in the interrogation! 🤬🤬🤬
Me too!!
Even if it was an accident, which we know it was not, how are you going to get your nails and hair done when your child just died. Yet we're supposed to believe they were distraught! Please. She's one of the most cold hearted mothers I've ever heard of.
And set fire to the body. Monstrous.
your right! i would cancel or even forget. her behaviour was not normal.
I agree.. I hope she’s tortured in prison everyday for what she done to Kiesha. 😢
No it couldn’t have been an accident, because the police found blood in every room. That doesn’t sound like an accident to me
What an absolute insult of a sentence 😢
Kieshas extended family all seem so loving after her death. I can’t help but feel sceptical and angry towards them though, she was beaten her entire life. The odd occasion she went to school the bruises were spotted straight away. Her body had clear signs of long-existing injuries sustained over a lengthy period. Her abuse was visible. Her mother clearly acted with resentment towards her child. How did none of them see the misery Kiesha was going through? They must have. And in that case, how could they be so complicit?
If a child I knew was clearly hurt by her mother, even a child I had no relation too, I could not sleep until that child was safe. I’d make sure that child knew what was happening to them was wrong, they do not deserve that and Id be on at the authorities every single day. And this was family. How do you not turn to that mother and tell her if she doesn’t stop abusing that child you will harass her all the way to jail? It’s all very well to say you love her, but love is wanting to see someone safe and happy. Where was that when Kiesha was alive? Especially after they knew one child died under her care already. The mother was clearly willing to pass her on, as her family how did no one step in and offer to take Kiesha in?
Everyone just sat there like statues with their mouths zipped? Rest in peace angel. It hurts to think of the things children go through with no one to help them. 💔
Infuriating isn’t it. She went to school 4 times between the start of the school year in early feb and was reported missing in august. The school went to the house 7 times and didn’t think contact the police and welfare services was necessary???? So many failures of protection in this case it’s unbelievable.
Because a lot of people are cowards unfortunately
Well said.
But The Mt Druitt Community did have Albert Lafael.
He , at least, kept up
Kiesha's Flea Market.
A Community Hero?
And the Police Undercover agent?
Keeping the Faith is hard work.
It's not that their lips were zipped, it's cuz they weren't there! These deadbeat dads & their families always do that shit... don't see their child for years & then do sad interviews saying how much they loved their baby. Her father said "Me & my family were left to deal with all this[the funeral]..." That funeral is the only thing he'd ever done for his daughter, aside from child support (which probably was taken whether he liked it or not)
#HimToo I feel the exact same thing. I mean, if you really love your child, you wouldn't accept that you wouldn't see them for a a month let alone a year. And he knew exactly what the mother is like and he didn't fight to have custody of her? The funeral is the least he could do after all that happened. Also, the system failed her, how could they place her back in her mum's custody with her fcked up history? I'm baffling.
It makes me cry to think of people like this having multiple children, when so many beautiful worthy people who actually want and will love a child are often not able to have them. The world is not fair. RIP to this sweet little soul, I hope these two monsters rot miserably in jail and are not let free early, these sentences are not long enough.
I have a daughter that cannot carry a child and another that's struggling to get pregnant but may, like her older sister, be unable to do so successfully, then I hear of monsters like these...? Please make it make sense??
@@lauriedavidson1585it's not fair. The foster care system is overwhelmed and understaffed in USA, UK, Australia. People would rather spend thousands of dollars on fertility treatments than thinking of taking in a child from the foster system. It's their right but it's still part of the problem in my opinion. Because of the lack of reputable reliable safe foster homes, CPS is more reluctant to remove children unless there's a Chinese parade of red flags in their face
Your presentation of this very sad topic was excellent. You are thorough in your narrative and pay respect to the victims of these heinous crimes. Thank you. RIP Keisha.
The fake crying really made me grit my teeth and I knew right then and there she did it. I've heard of this case but there was never a documentary about it just a passing comment. Glad Kiesha's case was brought to light.
I've become too cynical about my fellow humans and the capacity of some to harm even their own child. Just horrible people.
Yes same. And deliberately making her voice wobble. It wasn't even convincing.
I was just about to write that!! SO FAKE!!!
Kiesha was failed by the system. It's crazy to think if the police and services had taken her father's reports seriously and given him custody as originally planned, she would've been alive
We blame the parents not the system coz if you feel you as a parent you are not able to take care of a child give them up
The child is an angel. How could parents be so cruel.
Kiesha was born in the same year as my son. He turned 18 in May. I can’t imagine how a mother could hurt her child like that. Rest with the angels, Kiesha 😞
She would’ve been 18…Jesus Christ, that’s awful. Absolutely awful that her so called parents were the reason Kiesha couldn’t celebrate her 18th birthday.
@@MelodyRhythm it’s so heartbreaking when you hear parents doing this to children. Another case I’m watching now is the Letecia Stauch case in Colorado. She is just cruel and pure evil.
i turned 18 in may. kiesha should be here too. :(
I feel so incredibly bad for Chris he lost 2 children and then his own life so tragically I just hope he gets to be reunited with his babies now. And the fact the keisha was given back to her mother when he initially got custody and he wasn't informed of that fact makes my blood boil, such a preventable death
Very disturbing, I lost count of how many adults failed precious Kiesha, RIP sweet child
In the 000 call made on 1st Aug, some time after Kiesha's death and disposal, Kristy states she has a 3 week old baby. So she killed one child within days of bringing a new baby into the world?! Cruel, twisted, unnatural.
Postpartum?!
I'd have thought the moment a mother threatens to throw their own baby off a balcony, that's it! Custody over! But even that should've prompted a look into the baby boy 🙏
No. They just want the money
@@ashhhface13 she didn't have postpartum.... she's just psycho.
Yup
It's devastating to think that her 'mother' could treat her little girl the way she did! She doesn't deserve to be called a mother!
@ 6:00 stepfather says "she WAS always happy, LOVED playing" instead of 'she IS always happy, LOVES playing' ... that was the lead they needed right there.
I can't help but be incredibly frustrated with authorities. She said she didn't want to care for Kiesha and even said that she would kill her. She was found to have injured Keisha on many occasions, but was given a slap on the hand. Kiesha's dad voiced his concern for his daughter. All of these warning signs were dismissed or, at the very least, overlooked. And then, of course, there was Aiden. I appreciate that Kristi was abused as a child and how that can impact her ability to parent, but there are ways to prevent pregnancies. I don't know Australian law, but her sentence is ridiculous. I hope Kiesha's sister is in a safe and loving home.
From her first phone call she was asked if she’d looked for Keisha and she said she “No I’ve just got up”. Then she said the opposite a minute later. Straight away I commented accusing her of murder before I knew the story. Poor police work not to notice that.
You need to take into account the long and brutal history of abuse by whites against aboriginal children. Aboriginals do not want their children taken by whites as white Christians raped and abused them on mass in the past.
As for the sentence. The USA is a prison state which locks up more of its citizens than any nation in history. With 4% of the global population, they have 20% of all prisoners on earth. Yet, they have by far the worst crime of any developed nation. So mass incarceration and brutal slave labour conditions are not working in the USA. America believes in locking up citizens forever in brutal conditions. Other nation want to protect society and rehabilitate.
I don't think Americans are in any position to lecture other more peaceful cultures.
@@AnyoneCanSee I appreciate that, and with all respect and sincerity, my comment has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that this woman said she did not want her child and thought she would kill her, the history of abuse that was not taken seriously, and the fact that it resulted in the death of an innocent child. It wouldn't matter if she was white, Asian, or any other nationality; the warning signs, and words, were dismissed by authorities.
I imagine she only had the kid cause she was too dumb to figure out how contraception works.
Some agencies have the default mindset of family reunification but that is just wrong. It should be whoever can best take care of the child. Maybe a parent just needs a little extra support and reunification is possible, but no amount of support was going to help this situation. She didn’t want this kid and wasn’t mature enough to manage her own trauma.
WHY DO THESE PEOPLE NOT USE BIRTH CONTROL!? WHY DO THEY HAVE SO MANY KIDS!?
Too thick to think about that!!!
Men cause 100% of pregnancies
No accountability, mentally unstable, manipulative, etc.
Sounds like she used the child as a tool against the dad. Like punishing him by harming the child like on the instance she punched her baby while in her womb after an argument. But that is not to say the guy who played along and complied with her demands.
@iinkog niito same here in America
@iinkog niito it happens in Canada too. Reality for everyone else is that nobody gives a working person a raise for each subsequent kid. How can families be assisted in a way that can’t be taken advantage of financially?
So many reports made and this little girl STILL ended up dead. Someone seriously dropped the ball.
This makes me so sick and heartbroken. A poor, beautiful, innocent and defenseless child gets the murderer only a MAX of 22.5 years. That is disgusting. If you brutally kill a child, there should be no way in hell that person should be allowed to live anymore. I'm so tired of hearing "oh the mother was abused as a child so she is prone to doing the same" I was beat with everything my useless father could get his hands on for the first 8 years of my life. I was kidnapped 3 times by said useless father. I watched him split my mother's head open, break her jaw and arms. Guess what I have never done, laid a hand on my wife or my beautiful daughters. People that say that a person only killed someone else because of abuse is just using it as a poor excuse. R.I.P Beautiful Kiesha!
Right?! She’s eligible for parole April 2027! It’s sickening.
I’m sorry you had such a rough childhood 💔
@@Areniapixie The worlds justice system needs a drastic overhaul. Thanks but my childhood showed me how not to treat people, not to take it out on them. Plus my mom is an amazing woman.
@@Areniapixie every person who knew Kiesha should turn up at that parole hearing!!
I had an abusive mother who smacked me around, withheld affection, and humiliated me in public, and she excused her actions by saying she was just 'teasing' and that I my reactions to her 'teasing' were exaggerated. People took her at her word and I never got any help - not even from family members. To this day I have NEVER harmed a child even though I know I have a temper around them. I chose not to have children because I can't guarantee, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I would be a good parent. This is always an option, and when these sickening abusers whine about their upbringing it disgusts me. If you have a temper around children, Don't Have Any. I know it can be a tough choice but look at what could happen. No child will ever suffer just because jerkweeds who don't understand my circumstances tell me I have a duty to my parents and family.
@@thebyrd433 I applaud your wise decision.
Seems insane to think none of her family knew what was going on in all her six short years alive. It's not hard to say let me take her, you're not coping. It breaks my heart to think no one stepped in to do something in one of the best places to live in the world and that her reality was so deplorable and hopeless. So sad she never had the life we all take for granted. If you see something that makes you wonder, say something, do something. Don't let this happen. This is the worst of humanity.
alison has been driving me crazy this whole video, she did NOTHING to help that little girl but then when she went missing she wanted all the attention
EVERYONE failed this little girl, NO ONE protected her , from the evil that surrounded her. The signs were all there and was ignored. Poor child never felt love in her short life ,rest in peace 😇 angel. This truly breaks my heart
EVERYONE failed this sweet baby...family members, the system. This monster killed two of her kids, makes me nauseous
Living in Sydney, I remember this case very well and still think about it. The thing that struck me most about photos of Kiesha was she only ever smiled with her mouth. Not her eyes. I’ve never seen a child do that before. Her ‘home’ life must have been hellish. 💜
I’m not debating her home life, but my 2 ASD children do this and have the best homelife 🧡
Also bruises on her little face etc. That woman is a psychopath.
Yes there also sadness in the childs eyes so heart breaking.
@@foordy-family3123 same. Two of mine are ASD and one of them doesn't smile with his eyes. He also exaggerates some facial expressions. He kind of had to cognitively learn facial expressions instead of intuitively picking them up... almost as if they're a foreign language and his accent is still a little off.
Oh as an Aussie this broke my heart. Watching the mum. It felt weird watching it at the time her cries sounded odd, then knowing at the end of the saga abusive parents and crocodile tears.
It was a really annoying ‘cry’ wasn’t it? Not at all like that of a distraught mum.
The mother gave me a bad feeling right from the get go.
one sick individual.
I felt like an awful person for telling the video to ‘shut up’ at the start when the mum was crying. I don’t feel so bad now - disgusting woman.
This little girls “mother” is right up there with Dian Downs, Susan Smith, and *Leticia Stauch* Truly Criminal, I love your work. Thank you for the great journalism and historical documentaries ❤
And Louise Porton (also covered by this channel)
@@adamwelch6217 god, no kidding. Good call on that. There’s a channel called “Behind Criminal Minds” that is doing series on some of the biggest cases of our era, and *believe me* literally no one else on this platform has ever documented these cases the way he does. His stuff is even better than JCS and Matt Orchard combined because he was a prosecuting attorney for many years and has access to documents (and knows how to sus out the missed evidence) that absolutely prove guilt/innocence. All f it is being put in front of the right people to reopen some of these cases. He’s in the middle of a series on Nichole Kessinger that would blow your mind! All of his subs are almost positive she’s watching the uploads too, and if you go there to check it out, you’ll see why!
I’m not being slimy by trying to promote someone elses work on this channel, or by trying to get you sub Behind Criminal Minds to take people away from this channel.. It’s just that your comment made me realize that you know your stuff when it comes to true crime, so I thought I’d mention it just in case! (Sorry for the long story! Lol) Hugs from Las Vegas ❤️
How is it that women like this get pregnant at the drop of a hat? Why is it that there are so many people who would love to have children and can’t?
All these cases make me so sad and others, such as this one makes me way beyond sad. I can’t come up with a word that adequately expresses the anger and sadness that I feel.😢
People who would love to have kids are delusional. Kids are burden.
@@azazello1784 I’m interested. Why would you say something like that? Yes, choosing to have children is a lifelong commitment. But, a burden and delusional? I’m very curious as to what you mean…
@@sparkyspark964 Kids require a lot of money, time and energy. The cons overweight the pros.
@@azazello1784kristi is that you 😆 because your commenting on every comment in support of this tragedy and only a psychopath or kristi herself would defend this
@@NicoleBess-w3u I am not defending this. It's still a crime. My point is that kids are overrated.
Gave her a _nudge_ with her foot? I'm not through the video yet, but more likely she kicked the poor child as hard as she could. Then, when Kiesha "started making weird noises," Kristi and Robert refused to take her to the hospital because they knew the doctors and nurses would recognize the signs of child abuse. Such horrible people, absolutely horrible.
Edit to add, Alison Anderson is a hero. She is the best friend a person can have, and to be betrayed like that goes to show what a rotten soul exists in Kristi.
Absolutely. The picture of that poor little girl on her birthday with that beast hanging off her has destroyed me. I hope those sick fuckers never have a moment’s peace for the rest of their lives.
Exactly and 10 different injuries including a broken jaw and fractured teeth are not the result of a nudge with her foot
This happened about 2 mins from where I lived. The outpouring of grief was felt throughout the area. The amount of gifts left for Kiesha was just amazing. This beautiful little girl was dealt the worst hand with the mother she got. When the news broke that her mother and step father did it, the community was devastated. During the case and after it was done, the worst thing was all the abuse Keisha has suffered throughout her short life was horrific. There is a special spot in hell for those two evil people. RIP Kiesha and her dad. At least they are together again.
“A little nudge”? It’s hard to imagine the life that little girl was forced to live…🙏🏻The first red flag was the emergency call…She’ll be out of prison way to soon to live a life, something she denied her daughter.
This little girl didn't stand a chance. The horror that was her life started with the horror that was her mother's life. So tragic.
Every photo shows her looking so tired and broken. She was obviously abused chronically and no one stopped it.
Yall, if you have a past that's filled with conflict and abuse, it's up to you to correct these triggers in yourself.
I had a terrible time bonding with my oldest. My family is as toxic as it comes and I had a nightmare of a childhood.
I've utitilized my medicaid to get extensive therapy and reached out to friends about my struggles. I take my meds like it's my religion and it isn't for me, it's for the souls i created and have to live in this dimension with me!
And now...
My son is a happy human being now and so am I! We have a home life I never dreamed of having!
If I'd let my early life programming be the software used to raise my children, never know...but it's not one bit shameful to get treatment. It's very shameful not to. Especially if you're a danger to your own children!
Pleased to hear you got out of that cycle and have a happy homelife now
I broke the cycle in my family also. Counseling and Jesus is what helped me raise my daughters in a far healthier environment than I was raised in. And they now are doing a great job with my grandkids.
I admire you and your hardwork. God bless
God bless you for being stronger 💙
@Cw proud of you!!
I can relate and will say you're correct. It's up to you to get better. Too many give up and say they can't do anything blah blah. Rise above, especially if you have children. They deserve it.
It doesn't happen over night but you get help and do your best.
This was heartbreaking. That poor little baby. This was so remarkably well done and you have honored her memory.
Albert said what everyone was thinking. Kristi was pissed she didn’t think of the flea market first, so she could pocket it all of course. That poor child looked like she had already lived 10 lives. She looked so worn down and sad.
One of the worst child torture cases in Australia, yet this isn't a one off. It happens far too often, like the little girl from Hawkes Nest in NSW who was abused and neglected by her entire family. She was found dead, mummified, socks infused with her skin and ants crawling all over her.
It's only going to get worse with the current financial and housing issues.
May these angles rest peacefully.
angels. not angles
@@miikaura ah, thank you.
@@miikaurawow!!! Hope that makes you feel much smarter than the wonderful sympathetic person who was just trying send her love for an abused murdered child….Good job jerk
I lived 20 minutes from there and went to work close to the location , and I never forgot that case … ever
@@cherylmyke1693you're the only one upset about it lol.
The system failed her big time. She could had been rescued in so many occasions. How can this happen mind boggles me. How can they give the child back to the mother after the first abuse?
She should had gotten life in prison or death penalty. I don't understand this justice system.
Thank you for sharing this case. It made me very angry that the mother was given custody again when there's evidence she wasn't a good person!!!! soooooo many red flags!!
😢😢 RIP, baby girl. I'm so sorry.
22 and a half years? 😳 the justice system of Australia always manages to amaze me. It’s sad to think that had the child been kept in care, she would still be alive today. R.I.P princess 🙏🏿
Probably out now
Yeah, I don’t get it either! This should been an automatic whole life sentence without the possibility of parole. This crap stain of human tortured that baby her whole life and the brutally murdered her! How does that not justify a whole life sentence? I just don’t get it.
@@titchlilly1294 She’s still in prison at the moment but is eligible for parole April 2027 😤. I hope they keep her in there 🤞🏻
@@Areniapixie she will be out by then
I hope she has to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life!!
I knew they did it when during that 5:45 the stepdad talks about the girl in past tense.
RIP little Ayden and Kiesha. ♥
Social services really let these two little ones down.
Wow! I had same feeling at that moment.
While that's used as some tactic by investigators- "you definitely killed them because you're speaking of them in the past tense! Guilty!"- it's not proof or even really all that indicative of anything. It's easy to look at this after the fact, when we already know who the guilty party is but the reality is that in missing persons cases, plenty of people will refer to the missing person in the past tense. Sometimes its even intentional because it sounds better grammatically or makes sense because- surprise surprise- they're referring to something the person did or liked or whatever in the past. Kind of the same way people will refer to those who they know are alive and well and living across town in the past tense sometimes.
In short, simply using "was" instead of "is" in some references means absolutely nothing.
also his head was down the entire time during the press thing outside...it bugged me...there was almost zero eye contact..its often seen in guilty people...
I remember this case so well. Every time I heard a news update or thought of that little girl I would burst into tears. I have never been so affected by a news story I have no personal connection with. If only she had the outpouring of love shown after her disappearance and passing in her everyday life. 😢 I’m crying again.
You did a fantastic job covering this tragic case. Your channel is so polished and professional- it should be on TV
This is utterly heartbreaking. I cannot wrap my head around this at all. One light in the darkness is Alison, what a great lady. Rest in peace, little Kiesha x
by the way I absolutely love this channel I'm so glad I found it. I find The Voice that talks throughout the video to be very soothing and not over talking and not loud whatsoever like it is absolutely perfect 💯 this is probably the most perfect UA-cam channel for this genre / topic of content❤❤❤❤❤
My heart hurts for the friend Allison 😞, her world shattered when she found out what happened and who caused it! She loved and cared for this beautiful little girl as if it were HER daughter 🌹🕊💔
If she loved & cared for her so much, why was she not aware of the abuse. Why did she not see the bruises.
She is an attention seeker, she did nothing and stood back and watched a little girl be abused, and loved attention, sick as well, she is not to be trusted as a youth worker
@@tislyworrell2446 alot of times marks can be covered up or explained away as a child hurting themselves while playing etc.. abusers are manipulators and know what to say. Often times they keep the child away from others until the marks fade away aswell, to hide it. Hence her not going to school most of the time.
@@Bethany0420 Well alot of other people had seen them that had less exposure to that kid, even spotting injuries to her face, remember she was a close friend and a next door neighbour and would have had lots of exposure to that kid, to me there's something off about her, like her showboating for the cameras and enjoying all the attention, going to the prison causing a scene and then showboating again in front of the media about that incident!
@gerry whelan that doesn't mean she saw the kid all the time.
the moment the mother start speaking to the emergency operator u can tell with utmost ease, that this is the voice of guilt, not panic.
GREAT WORK DETECTIVES 👍❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏RIP DARLING GIRL AND LITTLE AIDEN AND THEIR FATHER CHRIS ❤❤❤
I grew up in Sydney and remember this story being all over the news and it always stuck with me from watching it unfold in real time. Thank you for covering this tragic case
Her eyes were always sad, even when smiling.
This was a tough watch. It must have ben tough to make. A truly tragic story.
This one had me sobbing multiple times. I genuinely cannot imagine how a grown adult could abuse a child, let alone what these monsters did. I hope her sweet soul is at peace. My heart is aching for her and her family
There are some people who don’t deserve to be parents.
R.I.P. little Kiesha 😞
There is no , absolutely no , circumstance or childhood trauma that can excuse such a heinous crime. Poor baby girl I'm so sorry this happened to you 😢
Closed doors are the ones social workers should keep knocking! The entire system failed the poor girl...
This is so sad. All those people reached out and told them about her EVEN kiesha father, knowing she killed their first born and some more. Kiesha brother died too at the hands of this woman. She’s sick. It’s sad she went through what she did as a child, but damn… that’s sickening to repeat the same to your daughter although that’s all she knew. It’s sad the father tried. He tried and tried and tried with BOTH of their children and the system failed alongside the mother.
I think this channel presents these (horrifying) cases in an excellent way. The structure of the narrative, the order in which information is introduced and revealed, is fantastic. In this one, the "zooming out" from the initial call to emergency services, to the context of the mother's upbringing and other children, paints an illuminating (and deeply disturbing) picture.
How does a school not report a child missing for a month?
My kids were off for three days and they didn’t get my email explaining their absence and I had someone from the education department at my door
The mom is so defensive to people who are trying to find her daughter and she kept trying to see what the Det.on the left was writing on his pad. She has no level of gratitude for their search.
Maybe she doesn’t want them to find her body
@Anne marie 😂 thought the same !!!
We've had 2 cases similar to this in southern New Hampshire, USA just in the last 3 years. It's absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking
