He asked everyone for advice, took parenting classes, and did everything he could to take care of his sweet little girl. He basically lived for her, making sure she had everything he could give her. I feel so deeply sorry for the both of them.
That father gave his all even with terminal cancer he pushed himself to try and get his daughter to Cuba where he knew she would be safe. May they both Rest in peace. A father like him is an example of what a true loving father should be. WOW! 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
I agree and why would his life be taken it should have been the mother's I honestly can't understand how these people can face any of there friends or loved ones or just anyone how can a women claim to be a mom when she's just a evil monster and these kind of women always want sympathy it's like to me they should have to suffer the same way they made there child suffer she's not even a it in my book she's a waste of space and I hope she's suffering she is the lowest form of a scum there is how does she even deserve her daughters ashes she is nothing but a peace of shit a poor excuse for a human she's the lowest scum on this earth who deserves to be miserable every second of her life I hope she rots in hell where she belongs
As a Stage 4 Testicular Cancer survivor, it deeply saddens me for the Father who was taken from us so soon, he was paving the road to success for his daughter making sure she had everything she needed and more.
@@SandySandy-p1gTragic accounts such as this make me thankful for loving family members who can care for my young children if my husband and I should die prematurely. The children's grandparents are too old, but they have other relatives who are normal, stable and competent.
We need to start charging the people who dont take action to help protect children. Im so tired of hearing about people who saw things or heard things and dont report it.
Everyone who knew about what this child was going through should be held accountable and charged as accessories. Overloaded? Understaffed? How understaffed would they be with social workers in jail...right next to the monsters themselves? SO TIRED of hearing about social workers who are derelict in their duties. I was a foster parent and got sick to death of being told "We're not to judge". F'd-up people are f'd up people. No judgment, just an honest observation. Kid comes back from a visit reeking of weed or crack or has bruises or is in distress, I'm calling the worker and calling out the BS.
It’s not so simple. 1- Call APS & often there is not enough to justify an investigation. 2- minority communities are rightly paranoid to get APS/CPS involved. There is a history of taking kids when it’s not justified &/or placing in foster care which can be another place abuse happens
If you want social workers to be able to act on every complaint they get, try voting for people who will actually fund them. Everyone wants the government social services to be better, but no one wants to pay tax. Pick one.
@@mikesanders8621 paying more taxes isnt the solution. Stop for a second and take a peek at how much americans pay in taxes. We pay more per capita than many countries who pay less yet has abundant social service programs. Why is this? Youll find your answer by looking at what Kamala and Biden have spent our tax money on in the past 4 years. (Big hint: its not going to americans).
I was a student journalist at the time. I went to this funeral. The line was around the block. Yes, it's not a rumor: the bone in her finger was actually poking thru the skin. They tried to hide it with mortician's wax. I saw it up close. I went outside and cried in the street. This death marked that semester in a way I can't describe. I found a letter to santa from a girl with the same last name. I sent her ice skates and a scarf. She will never know why. I'm sorry, Elisa. I remember. 💔
Your story made me cry. THANK YOU and may God Bless you forever in eternity. People such as yourself, give me HOPE for humanity. Keep doing good, wherever you can, whenever you can, anonymously --- for God knows WHO you are and all of us will be judged by our *works* in the end by the Creator. God protect you always. 🙏
This sick woman felt overwhelmed with rage & jealousy towards her own child. I heard a podcast about the case & it revealed more details. The cousin & the father’s side fought tooth & nail to get her back. The mother’s lawyer even shamed them in court for trying to “keep a mother away from her child”. Thanks for doing cases on innocent kids murdered by the city of ny via negligence. Smh. May they all Rest In Peace.
I haven’t listened to the whole story. But I hope he sued the state. They should’ve never taken her from her stability. It’s sickening. Although money don’t bring her back. He should be compensated for their gross negligence
Some people shouldn't even be allowed to reproduce, as extreme as that sound's. Utter madness that this kind of tragedy is STILL not being forseen and prevented. It makes my blood boil!
I'm one of the EMS team that tried to save her life. I cried while doing CPR on her brutalized little body, and I'm still crying about it to this day. The suffering of adult patients never traumatized me, but seeing Elisa in that condition---severe abdominal swelling from ruptured internal organs, apparent cigarette burns all over her body, and the bones of her cervical spine broken---got to me. The Loisaida (Alphabet City to you gentrifiers) artist known as Chico did an excellent wall mural of Elisa on the side of a 6 story building in her honor. It's no longer there, but back then it was a marvelous tribute to that poor child.
I grew up in Manhattan, trust me; the people haven’t forgotten you little girl. There’s a petition online to change the park she played in to Elisa’s park, if you guys would take the time to try and sign it. Or Emailing people like The mayor would help so much. Don’t let the world forget her.
Im born and raised in this city and its nice to know people haven't forgotten however showing it is a totally different thing. I've contacted people, I've had long thorough conversations about this case specifically, and if the best we can do 27 years later is a park while her mom walks free, then that alone says a lot. Its a total joke. She deserves much better than that. You might’ve not forgotten her but you're a tiny percentage of people who should know and don't. Because clearly those who do know aren't getting anything done at all, or we'd be having an entirely different discussion. And then for it to happen again two another kid who weeks later.
I'm not from Ny I'm 45 min outside Bronx I'm from bpt ,CT but would love to help can you send me info in regards would greatly appreciate it thank you🙏🏾
Not only did they end her life by giving her mother custody but after her death, they tortured her soul by giving her remains back to the person that killed her.
It may help to remember she wasn't there anymore. By the time she was gone her little body was just a body- that witch may have gotten that, but that little girl is free now regardless
The courts giving that monster custody are also guilty of her death…. Such sad and tragic end for Elisa… that beautiful little girl deserved so much more. 😢
Agreed. I feel like caretakers and parents who abuse their children or minors in their care, should receive harsher punishments than people who assault or murder strangers!
Why do these monsters fight for custody of kids only to abuse them horrendously?!?! If you hate them that much let them go to someone else and you never have to see them again! Absolutely heartbreaking that she had the best life and was so close to being safe! R.I.P. baby girl
The part where you said she was pleading for her dad and that she thought he abandoned her 😢😢😢 omg my heart is broken. Literally gives me chills. People are so insane smfh
Her physical remains may have been given to the disgusting human waste that murdered her, but you can be sure that in death she was absolutely reunited with her Father. May their souls rest in eternal peace together ❤️

@@BANJOSMOMMY/I will never forget that picture of Lisa Steinberg at school looking sad and unkept with a handful of candy corn on her desk. It broke my heart.
I remember this story. It was headline news all over the country..... Little Elisa suffered in ways no one can even try to imagine. She was completely at the whim and mercy of monsters who targeted her for torture and death. And to think that baby girl thought her father left her, until her mother screamed at her and told her he was dead. Oh my dear God, what kind of nightmare was she living in!? And you know, anyone of us could've raised her with more kindness and care than that sick person who happened to be her mother. I hope her "mother"never, ever gets out of prison and rots away with misery, guilt, and pain until the day she dies alone...in a cell.
this absolutely broke my heart. from the moment you said her father was diagnosed with cancer, to the day he died having been the day they were supposed to leave for Cuba, the horrific treatment at the hands of her mother, all being prefaced with how beloved she was by everyone. how even prince Michael was so taken by her he paid for her school and was also going to pay her way through college. She could have been something great, she would have made her father even more proud than he already was.
There was NO reason why they should not have allowed Elisa to go with her aunt. Wth is wrong with the system?? It’s a no brainer that sending her back to her “mother” would lead to disaster!! 😡😡😡
The courts have to make that decision and they usually choose biological parents first. However, there was enough evidence to decide that Alysa was unsafe with her mother
@@mariancounsellor agreed, but she definitely was in no condition to even be a pet owner, let alone a mother. Sometime biological parents are NOT the best option. I just don’t understand how did they miss that?
I hope they gave her a long prison sentence. My God, the system should have been sanctioned for making such a horrible decision. This woman was sick and evil. Like he said, how many more?
Why I don't understand is why they always choose the moms to have custody when they not fit to be a parent only cause they women people thing they going do a better job but the sad true is some moms don't care if the new bf abused her child aslongest he pay the bills just look how many cases of step dad end up raping & killing their step kids.
This breaks my heart. She had a father who loved her. My mother was jealous of me. She explained it to me when I was in my thirties and in therapy. She abused me mentally, physically, emotionally and sexually. She served me up to the pedophiles in the family. I too, was starved. One of the few times they took me to a doctor he chewed them out for me being malnourished. We moved constantly, just one step ahead of children's services. I attended eight schools in nine years in three states. I'm grateful to have survived my childhood. Babygirl, up in heaven, I love you. I know. You didn't deserve that. I'm so sick of children being murdered. 😭
As a mother I know her poor father's last moments on earth were filled with fear and anxiety knowing he wasn't going to be there to protect her. I know for a fact he did. That is one of my biggest fears! I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid to leave my babies and grandson behind.
And his cousin tried to fight for her custody after he passed but they granted it to the mother, NYC failed that child. His cousin passed away in 2007 and she was young like 44, it was probably from a broken 💔.
I saw that one of the sisters commented on this video on Tik tok and she wrote how much she suffers from depression. I hope that monster never leaves prison.
I remember reading about her story back in 95/96 and I was in Cali. I wept. I couldn't believe the torture that baby endured and the blatent neglect. Even when there was proof they judges and social services ignored the proof and returned that baby to her mother after her father died. Inspired me to work in group homes. Rest in Peace Elisa.
It’s like her mother was jealous of her. She only tortured this baby out of all her kids. To then give that monster right to her remains, when she’s the one who killed her. God rest her soul poor baby😪
Right...and she was a innocent soul cut too short because of hate and evil envy. That's what I call it. My stomach turns to stories like this. Children never asked to be here. May she rest in heaven where she will be safe and loved...by our God..our lord and savior Jesus Christ.❤
The "mother" was absolutely jealous. Babygirl was so pretty, and her daddy loved her so much. Instead of being happy for her daughter, she hated her. How can you hate a child? Especially your own!
Elisa had the parent she always needed....her daddy. 😢😢 Her daddy was the best father I have ever heard of. Imagine all those friends that helped him with all of his questions because he wanted to get it right. God bless him. 🙏🙏🙏 RIP Elisa 🙏😇💐
Gustavo, you were such an amazing father. I can only imagine the fear you felt leaving the love of your life behind where you could no longer protect her. The little angel suffered, unnecessarily. She should have been given to your cousin. Her incubator (not worthy of being called a mother) was not mentally Ill, she treated her other children well. She was pure evil. At least you are together now, eternally. RIP Gustavo and Alyssa. You’re both safe now, and together always. 😢
I agree with you, she was Evil. Ppl always tell me that my mom did what she did bcuz she didn’t know any better, but I had 2 brothers who she treated like royalty compared to me. She knew what she was doing, and too many ppl make excuses for these hateful women who imo are jealous of their daughters and want to do everything in their power to destroy us. Thankful I survived my ‘egg donor’s hate taken out on me. R.I.Love to all the children who don’t🥺. 🕊️🕊️🕯️🤍
The only comfort I find in this horrible story is that -she is with her dad now, they are in eternal peace. She is safe in the embrace of her father's amazing pure love for her😢💔
This story broke me down bad. I can't imagine the pain that baby felt from someone who was supposed to love her. Her mother was jealous of the love that she got from her father. R.I.P to that angel and her wonderful father who till his very last breath tried to protect his baby.
Truly terrible. Her older daughter had the nerve to come to my tiktok demanding that everyone forgive and forget since she did her time (revealing to me that she'd been released) and I had to block her. Not here to argue. I do my best to also keep in mind that she herself endured some terrible things including her sisters untinelt death. So her mind isn't in the right place. That's a lot of trauma to endure.
I am a victim of mother abuse ...I still can't comprehend till this day ..she tried killing me few times but God was not calling yet... She grabbed an extension cord and put it in my neck... She drugged me since 8 to get money from the government for her gambling . She had my sister at 9 I became her babysitter mother etc.. she deprive me from food she had her evil sister along with her they both beat me down threw me down the stairs etc . I Became became a mom and she hates my kids.. my kids said she is the antichrist😔🙏💔.. they now refused to want to know her they are 23 20 17 ...💕🌺😈🥇🌎👑👑👑✅💫💯I became grandmother.... she would not want to meet my grandbaby.. worst part she has 3 other kids and they all went to royalty schools ..she met my step dad a rich man ... She had places for people to live she made me go to a shelter ... She is old and sick and I truly turn 41 she haunts me in my dreams .people saying she is old and feels guilty is too late .... there is a expected plan meeting with her and mediators to guide that long over do come conversation.. I finally tell her her truth and God have mercy on her .. I became addicted to medicine thanks to her struggle and have people that loves me. She hates me for who my dad is..💔🙏

I love how seriously you take the cases. You can hear the sympathy in your voice, you’re one of the few people I’ve heard discuss a case that truly sounds like they feel sorry for the victims and wants change.
OMG, yees. Both cases are horrific and hurt my soul to this day. What id like to know is, if the monster who took this baby's life got punished? She was awarded her body so does that mean she got away with murder?
Her case is heartbreaking. I don't understand how the neighbors didn't do more. I couldn't take hearing her cry. I would've kept calling the police constantly to the point the whole station knew my name.
I wouldn't have been able to wait for anyone as soon as I would hear a child screaming that way I would have gotten in that house any way i could to do whatever I could go protect that child. Any child!
I remember hearing about this when it happened. I used to live in NYC (the Bronx). It doesn't surprise me that the system failed her. Even when I was in grade school in the Bronx, I'd see a kid or two with bruises on them and knew something was wrong, but the teachers did nothing. They wrote it off as "the kid got into a fight", not that "the parents did it to them". The teachers never even asked. Elisa's mother was evil. She never should have had kids. I loved the way this channel presented this case. Thanks for posting this story!
Such a beautiful child with a lovely father. Life is so unfair at times. I just don’t understand how anyone can mistreat a child like this. Especially knowing she has the cousin who would take care of her. Heartbreaking.
Child protecting laws didn't exist until people started to realize that animals were treated better than children. The ASPCA gave rise to child protection agencies but penalties for animal cruelty are still harsher than penalties for child abuse and neglect!
Financial reasons, narcissistic tendencies, and control. Also, on an even darker note, these “weak” and addicted parents form alliances with undesirable predators who look for opportunities to get close to these babies, in exchange for drugs or worse. How do I know this? My own mother sold me out when I was a little girl too. I was abused by many. I did get taken away from the situation and I’m really lucky to even be alive. RIP, Elisa💔
I just don't understand why this woman petitioned for custody, why any of these abusive parents tried to regain custody of their kids just to treat them like this, this makes me so angry and the courts never freaking listen
Such a beautiful child. So sad the system failed her. May her soul Rest In Peace. I hope her mother never comes out of jail. How can you hurt your own child? If you didn’t want her you should have given her to her cousin. So sad. This story touched me.
The system didnt fail her... if you listened to her story everyone put in a hand to help her. Her tuition was paid, her daddy was granted full custody. Now after the point where her daddy died, then the system failed her. But she was taken care of.
The story broke my heart so much so that it made me scream out when I heard her father had cancer because I knew what that meant for a little Elisa. May she rest in peace with her daddy they too, can be together forever.
This poor child screaming out for her dad when she was being tortured broke my heart 💔, I had to pause the video and take a breath. She knew he could protect her if he only knew where she was. Side note: Thank you for the work and research you put into these particular videos. I found this page yesterday and I’ve been binge-watching all your videos since.
Same here, I had to pause and take a breather. I don't understand what was going thru this mothers head. Sick sick individual. I don't like violence and all about being the bigger person but damn I wouldn't mind meeting her mother and letting her know how Elisa felt. Ugh.
same. disgusting, but they are out there, nonetheless. anyone's child is a child whom would need intervention in order for them to be safe. and i would do that.
Whoever that judge was that gave custody to her for lack of a better term “mother” after her Father died need to bee fried and even prosecuted for that beautiful baby’s passing/murder
Her Dad sounds like parent of the century!! What a proactive father. Asking how to do things and enrolling into parenting classes. Makes a change that he did all that off of his own back because he WANTED to. Such a shame he passed away 😢
Devastating and it breaks my heart more to hear about such a fantastic father. You always hear of the moms it really hits different to hear about these kinds of devoted fathers.
To have a father such as him, she was the luckiest little girl in the world. But for your mom to despise you in such a way, it’s just horrible. This brought tears to my eyes 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
This story actually brought me to tears, no lie. I've been a fan of your channel since the start and I really appreciate your calm storytelling style and utmost respect for and focus on the victims.
So sad..What a beautiful little baby girl...The only happy thought of this is that they can't hurt her anymore and she'snow safe with her beloved dad with God.
I’m so glad I found this channel. Growing up as a Latina in NYC around this time, it brings back so many sad memories. And you’re bringing light to these victims that were mostly ignored because they were minorities.
Thank you for bringing awareness for the children.... I pray that someone not only listens but gets off their ass and does something about it!!!! Again, thank you.
I’m on a binge of watching these it’s sick how parents can do this I love my 3 year old daughter so much I can never imagine someone hurting her god forbid
This is such an infuriating case... Unfortunately only one of many. Disgusting to give a child back to an abusive drug user. It really takes the cake that the monster was granted the right to Elisa's remains. May Elisa And Gustavo rest in heavenly peace.
I really can’t even fathom the horror and torment of that innocent little soul- no one should have stopped her “mother” from jumping off the roof. Evil. Thank you for telling her story, raising awareness and advocate for those who’s voice who need and deserve amplifying. Rest In Peace 💔
She would've been an amazing person. She was already an amazing kid. I'm sorry for everything that occurred and was thrown under the rug. May she and the many others who've gone through this, rest in peace.
Absolutely. Most of the cases covered nationally aren't from here. Most go under the radar. Being from NYC i tend to resonate with these because I remember them and im surprised how some of these were handled. Just insane to me.
I really appreciate the effort that was put into this video. You made elisa's story real to the viewer. As you said yourself, these tragedies are often forgotten. They need to be heard and reform needs to take place.
We REALLY need to push for prison sentences for these officials who's neglect causes harm to theae little angels!!! We need to not accept nothing less!!! 🤬 I just hope she and the POS man of hers finally got what was coming to them with somw prison justice.
These cases need to be handled with ONE hearing to determine if the person in question did what they did and oncr its confirmed they're thrown in jail for life. No parole no good behavior, none of that corny shit. Just straight prison and thats your life now. So many children lost their lives in BRUTAL fashion and half these people are walking free working day jobs like nothing. IT NEEDS TO CHANGE. Never in my life did I assume if I caught a body id get out in 7 years or less. Shit is a walk in the park for a body. Its a joke.
That's the problem. So many people preach about how they're so against this type of stuff, and yet it's all talk because they turn around and give these people such light sentences. They coddle them and turn them into the "real" victim
As long as I live I will never, ever forget this little girl. I still have a copy of the Time magazine with Elisa's face on it saying how the system failed her.
That little girl was so sweet and innocent it upset me when her father died 💔 he protected her loved her and cared about her future. She was a wonderful little girl. RIP BOTH OF YOU FATHER AND DAUGHTER. THE DAUGHTER DID GET REUNITED WITH HER FATHER IN HEAVEN.
Thank you for sharing and explaining this story. So sad. How was it possible that her remains were returned to mom after knowing she caused it. Poor dad who died and was probably turning in his grave. Breaks my heart.
I remember Elisa’s case like it was the other day. My daughters dad use to purchase the paper everyday. I as a young mother of a 2 yr old at the time, couldn’t fathom how a mother can cause so much harm to her child. I felt so much anger with the crappy system in place. Elisa should still be here she was failed by so many. May Elisa izquierdo continue to RIP. 😢
JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!! Please keep speaking about these childrens cases! People need to see what’s really going on and how communities, family and CPS is failing babies and children everywhere. We all need to do better.
That was absolutely a very respectful. Sad, and instilled a lot of anger in heart...how these monsters are set free. I am so grateful I found your channel...or should I say your channel founde. I cried from 😢 beginning to end. This is definitely your calling...and your narration was the topper I think because your voice is comforting, yet direct and not shy that these things piss you off Hats off to you...your hard work is truly appreciated. God Bless you and yours!! ❤😊

It's bad enough that men will not get involved if a woman is beaten or s3xally assaulted by a man in public, but for people to turn a blind eye to child abuse that is obvious is disgusting. Children will stand up for other children, yet adults do nothing and worse, often protect the abuser.
MAN... this was a hard one to get through without pausing, I believe the mother resented this beautiful little angel bc she was & is beautiful & she knew her father absolutely adored her, and all the attention she got bc she was such an amazing little girl, and she had none of that. When u read the part where they chopped off her hair I thought how her father made sure it was perfect everyday, when u read they used her head as a mop I thought the same thing again ( but it was still so powerful the statement u read ) everything her father took pride with everything he did for his daughter this pos ( bc she's no mother ) tried to take it all away from her. Then u read that she actually got the rights to the little girls body ( to be buried where she wanted her to be ) I'm disgusted bc she lost all rights imo when her dad got her she NEVER probed herself, how did the monster she married was allowed round children when he stabbed her 17 times? All the ppl that did fight for her ( except the neighbors bc their's no excuse) the neighbors ( if it was me ) should've ran up in that damn house & just did something or at least make so many damn calls the police have to come. I'm SICK & TIRED of so called "mother's" getting custody just bc of that title, it's obvious she wasn't changing & everyone involved that failed this baby should be held accountable imo ( especially the judge that allowed all that he allowed) anyways she's with her father now where she can be treated the way she remembered but it's sad she thought her father abandoned her, she was taken from this world a little beam of light ( u could feel her light with her big bright smile through the screen ) RIP TO HER WONDERFUL FATHER THAT KNEW NOTHING AT FIRST ABOUT KIDS BUT LEARNED, THEN MADE SURE HE MADE A BETTER LIFE... RIP👼 ELIZA UR STILL THE PRINCESS U ALWAYS WERE U WILL NEBER BE FORGOTTEN THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HEAR THESE STORIES. My deepest condolences to everyone that was in her life & loved her & I pray u can heal in time at your pace & find peace u can tell she touched so many ppl & at least she was loved for the time she was with her dad & everyone she met her pos "mom" had no right to take that, I know these stories are hard to hear but just remember what these children have been through & it's only right we hear their story bc they lived it RIP PRINCESS 👸!!
I lost my own daughter six months ago I don't understand how she could murder her own child it's very hard for me to even try to imagine what this woman has done but the person who said all those wonderful things about the father how he loved his daughter I was still a single mom and Glamma raising my three year old grandson I have five grandsons all together obviously one two have to grow up without their mother my only daughter left has two & one special needs so will never understand this lady if we can call her that but yes this commenter I had to read some of the longest are in fact the Best & I was right thank you
@@taragraham6628 just saw u comment... fist of all I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. It must be such a blessing to have those grandbabies & it's so true idk how anyone can be like this to any child, it always makes me think how that poor baby in that moment must of felt while they see their own so called mother or father take their life from them, that's the last they see it's so heartbreaking. Well I hope u enjoying u day & have a great week, wishing u all the best u & family 🙏💙🖤 & stay strong bc u sound like an amazing lady & thank you for sharing your story with me bc u didn't have to!
Yes! Chopping her hair off was an attempt at taking that part of her away! It was part of her beauty, girls take pride in their hair, it's their crown, and she knew that. Only jealousy and envy would lead her to do that.
Her father's death was the worst thing that ever happened to that child😢
Absolutely
I sooo agree 🥺
Couldn't agree more.

That shit blew my mind
Her remains yes not her soul... it left to join her dad and god and angels....
So the child's ashes was given back to the person who murdered her. That's disguising
How could they give that devil the body, and why was that devil not rotting in prison!
Yes. Judges should be held responsible if their ruling causes tragedy. This was foreseable.
He asked everyone for advice, took parenting classes, and did everything he could to take care of his sweet little girl. He basically lived for her, making sure she had everything he could give her.
I feel so deeply sorry for the both of them.

He did Everything right for his daughter! I hope he came for her right away and she felt NO pain in her last moments. Alll happiness when she saw him!
Yes me too I tear up😢 Lifr is definitely not fair! Than this drug addict mom l have no sympathy for her
We need to start charging the people who dont take action to help protect children. Im so tired of hearing about people who saw things or heard things and dont report it.
Everyone who knew about what this child was going through should be held accountable and charged as accessories. Overloaded? Understaffed? How understaffed would they be with social workers in jail...right next to the monsters themselves? SO TIRED of hearing about social workers who are derelict in their duties. I was a foster parent and got sick to death of being told "We're not to judge". F'd-up people are f'd up people. No judgment, just an honest observation. Kid comes back from a visit reeking of weed or crack or has bruises or is in distress, I'm calling the worker and calling out the BS.
I definitely Agree!! It makes me anger😡
It’s not so simple.
1- Call APS & often there is not enough to justify an investigation.
2- minority communities are rightly paranoid to get APS/CPS involved. There is a history of taking kids when it’s not justified &/or placing in foster care which can be another place abuse happens
If you want social workers to be able to act on every complaint they get, try voting for people who will actually fund them. Everyone wants the government social services to be better, but no one wants to pay tax. Pick one.
@@mikesanders8621 paying more taxes isnt the solution. Stop for a second and take a peek at how much americans pay in taxes. We pay more per capita than many countries who pay less yet has abundant social service programs. Why is this?
Youll find your answer by looking at what Kamala and Biden have spent our tax money on in the past 4 years. (Big hint: its not going to americans).
She's with her daddy now and no one will ever hurt that little princess. SIP Elisa 🙏💕
Yep, Gustavo Izquierdo would always say that his daughter was his little princess
Her mother was granted her remains 🤦🏾♀️the system sucks she couldn't even get peace in death with her father who loved her.😢
My thoughts exactly
Princess Elisa with her daddy King Gustavo in God's Kingdom. Awilda is the devil She will never walk a free woman my 💔💔
Exactly
I was a student journalist at the time. I went to this funeral. The line was around the block. Yes, it's not a rumor: the bone in her finger was actually poking thru the skin. They tried to hide it with mortician's wax. I saw it up close. I went outside and cried in the street. This death marked that semester in a way I can't describe. I found a letter to santa from a girl with the same last name. I sent her ice skates and a scarf. She will never know why. I'm sorry, Elisa. I remember. 💔
Your story made me cry. THANK YOU and may God Bless you forever in eternity. People such as yourself, give me HOPE for humanity. Keep doing good, wherever you can, whenever you can, anonymously --- for God knows WHO you are and all of us will be judged by our *works* in the end by the Creator. God protect you always. 🙏
This made me tear up. Your heart is beautiful ❤
Bless your heart.
Wow...
Honestly a true soul
Everyone that let her go back to the mother should be in jail. So many people said don't give her back to the mom!
This sick woman felt overwhelmed with rage & jealousy towards her own child. I heard a podcast about the case & it revealed more details. The cousin & the father’s side fought tooth & nail to get her back. The mother’s lawyer even shamed them in court for trying to “keep a mother away from her child”. Thanks for doing cases on innocent kids murdered by the city of ny via negligence. Smh. May they all Rest In Peace.
I bet the lawyer regrets every word she said.
everyone involved in that case should had been held accountable.
I haven’t listened to the whole story. But I hope he sued the state. They should’ve never taken her from her stability. It’s sickening. Although money don’t bring her back. He should be compensated for their gross negligence
Never mind I just seen that he passed away
Where can I hear the podcast?
I hope those neighbors and anyone else who ignored her, hear her cries for the rest of their lives 😢
Me too 😢😢😢😢
Me too 🥲
They said neighbours reported it but the authorities did nothing
@@liscatcat8756 True, I think he said there had been at least 8 reports if I heard correctly.
I would’ve taken the little girl anyway I could. Poor girl ❤
Gustavo is the blueprint every father should follow. I have 3 kids I do everything for. Rip love you were a beautiful child Elisa

Gustavo was an amazing father, may his soul rest in peace, along with his beautiful baby. Life is so cruel. Just so damn cruel.
He is now taking care of his baby girl now they are together and yes this life is cruel
You're right, life is 😢 cruel...some people should not be allowed near kids!
Some people shouldn't even be allowed to reproduce, as extreme as that sound's. Utter madness that this kind of tragedy is STILL not being forseen and prevented. It makes my blood boil!
@@jessikatkins1173 I totally agree with you! not only should they not allowed to reproduce but they should not be allowed near kids at all!
Yes, she flew up to heaven on the wings of angels, away from the pain of abuse from her mother
I'm one of the EMS team that tried to save her life. I cried while doing CPR on her brutalized little body, and I'm still crying about it to this day. The suffering of adult patients never traumatized me, but seeing Elisa in that condition---severe abdominal swelling from ruptured internal organs, apparent cigarette burns all over her body, and the bones of her cervical spine broken---got to me.
The Loisaida (Alphabet City to you gentrifiers) artist known as Chico did an excellent wall mural of Elisa on the side of a 6 story building in her honor. It's no longer there, but back then it was a marvelous tribute to that poor child.
Thank you for your service. Omg. I read on the paper, she was disfigured
Im sorry you had to go through that.i hope you're feeling better now.
I grew up in Manhattan, trust me; the people haven’t forgotten you little girl.
There’s a petition online to change the park she played in to Elisa’s park, if you guys would take the time to try and sign it. Or Emailing people like The mayor would help so much. Don’t let the world forget her.
Im born and raised in this city and its nice to know people haven't forgotten however showing it is a totally different thing. I've contacted people, I've had long thorough conversations about this case specifically, and if the best we can do 27 years later is a park while her mom walks free, then that alone says a lot. Its a total joke. She deserves much better than that. You might’ve not forgotten her but you're a tiny percentage of people who should know and don't. Because clearly those who do know aren't getting anything done at all, or we'd be having an entirely different discussion. And then for it to happen again two another kid who weeks later.
I hope that park comes to fruition. Elisa we will never forget you💚
The mom is walking free??? They let her out?? I’m so angry right now please say it ain’t so
I'm not from Ny I'm 45 min outside Bronx I'm from bpt ,CT but would love to help can you send me info in regards would greatly appreciate it thank you🙏🏾
@@j.c.s5006 are you saying the mother was never jailed or never faced time at all,,, what a sick world we live in
Not only did they end her life by giving her mother custody but after her death, they tortured her soul by giving her remains back to the person that killed her.
It may help to remember she wasn't there anymore. By the time she was gone her little body was just a body- that witch may have gotten that, but that little girl is free now regardless
@@finn_in_the_bin5263yes and with her father now... thanks for saying this, it helps mitigate the pain
The courts giving that monster custody are also guilty of her death…. Such sad and tragic end for Elisa… that beautiful little girl deserved so much more. 😢
The death penalty is needed in the abuse of children 😢
I agree..... 😢
And the sterilization penalty when you abuse and kill your own child!
Is it in Florida?..
Agreed. I feel like caretakers and parents who abuse their children or minors in their care, should receive harsher punishments than people who assault or murder strangers!
Definitely!
Why do these monsters fight for custody of kids only to abuse them horrendously?!?! If you hate them that much let them go to someone else and you never have to see them again! Absolutely heartbreaking that she had the best life and was so close to being safe! R.I.P. baby girl
Because the system gives them financial incentive and support. It's about money.
I agree I ll never understand . That kid is no more ..dead in the ground I wonder know she felt after murdering her daughter?’
Bullies NEVER pick on people the same size as they are. Little, vulnerable souls who can't fight back.
That check
You should know why. To get a bigger check.
The part where you said she was pleading for her dad and that she thought he abandoned her 😢😢😢 omg my heart is broken. Literally gives me chills. People are so insane smfh
Poor baby girl..she was too young to understand what death was. She was still wondering where he was.
Pisses me off that the courts didn’t think to send this innocent beautiful little girl with Gustavo cousin. Like wtf were they thinking??? 😡 😤
U and me both 😢😢😢
Her physical remains may have been given to the disgusting human waste that murdered her, but you can be sure that in death she was absolutely reunited with her Father. May their souls rest in eternal peace together ❤️
That tells you that the system is broken

R.I.P 💚
@@BANJOSMOMMY/I will never forget that picture of Lisa Steinberg at school looking sad and unkept with a handful of candy corn on her desk. It broke my heart.
I remember this story. It was headline news all over the country..... Little Elisa suffered in ways no one can even try to imagine. She was completely at the whim and mercy of monsters who targeted her for torture and death. And to think that baby girl thought her father left her, until her mother screamed at her and told her he was dead. Oh my dear God, what kind of nightmare was she living in!? And you know, anyone of us could've raised her with more kindness and care than that sick person who happened to be her mother. I hope her "mother"never, ever gets out of prison and rots away with misery, guilt, and pain until the day she dies alone...in a cell.
this absolutely broke my heart. from the moment you said her father was diagnosed with cancer, to the day he died having been the day they were supposed to leave for Cuba, the horrific treatment at the hands of her mother, all being prefaced with how beloved she was by everyone. how even prince Michael was so taken by her he paid for her school and was also going to pay her way through college. She could have been something great, she would have made her father even more proud than he already was.
Truly such an awful loss. I cant wrap my head around how much she went through.
Yep, I remember the case on Wikipedia, I cried so much, but furious that Awilda Lopez got custody of her daughter, after Gustavo Izquierdo died
There was NO reason why they should not have allowed Elisa to go with her aunt. Wth is wrong with the system?? It’s a no brainer that sending her back to her “mother” would lead to disaster!! 😡😡😡
The courts have to make that decision and they usually choose biological parents first. However, there was enough evidence to decide that Alysa was unsafe with her mother
@@mariancounsellor agreed, but she definitely was in no condition to even be a pet owner, let alone a mother. Sometime biological parents are NOT the best option. I just don’t understand how did they miss that?
I know right, it's so obvious when you read a lot of these stories that the system is definitely failing when it comes to protecting children
I hope they gave her a long prison sentence. My God, the system should have been sanctioned for making such a horrible decision. This woman was sick and evil. Like he said, how many more?
Why I don't understand is why they always choose the moms to have custody when they not fit to be a parent only cause they women people thing they going do a better job but the sad true is some moms don't care if the new bf abused her child aslongest he pay the bills just look how many cases of step dad end up raping & killing their step kids.
When a child is so special to others that even a royal takes his time to buy her presents regularly it really hits home what heartbreaking loss it is.
I concur... He not only bought her gifts, he paid for her tuition through college.. Just shows the amount of potential the sweet little girl had.
I hate child custody laws sometimes!!!! The courts failed this poor baby. Rip baby girl , Rip to her wonderful father 🥺☹️🥺☹️🥺☹️
This breaks my heart. She had a father who loved her. My mother was jealous of me. She explained it to me when I was in my thirties and in therapy. She abused me mentally, physically, emotionally and sexually. She served me up to the pedophiles in the family. I too, was starved. One of the few times they took me to a doctor he chewed them out for me being malnourished. We moved constantly, just one step ahead of children's services. I attended eight schools in nine years in three states. I'm grateful to have survived my childhood. Babygirl, up in heaven, I love you. I know. You didn't deserve that. I'm so sick of children being murdered. 😭
So sorry to hear that. Im glad you made it out alive. I hope you are ok, God bless you. And your painful memories. 🙏
So sorry to hear what your mother did to you. That is so awful.
God bless you. No child deserves to be abused.

As a mother I know her poor father's last moments on earth were filled with fear and anxiety knowing he wasn't going to be there to protect her. I know for a fact he did. That is one of my biggest fears! I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid to leave my babies and grandson behind.

Even when there was proof they judges and social services ignored the proof and returned that baby to her mother after her father died. Inspired me to work in group homes. Rest in Peace Elisa.

Gustavo, you were such an amazing father. I can only imagine the fear you felt leaving the love of your life behind where you could no longer protect her. The little angel suffered, unnecessarily. She should have been given to your cousin. Her incubator (not worthy of being called a mother) was not mentally Ill, she treated her other children well. She was pure evil. At least you are together now, eternally. RIP Gustavo and Alyssa. You’re both safe now, and together always. 😢
I agree with you, she was Evil. Ppl always tell me that my mom did what she did bcuz she didn’t know any better, but I had 2 brothers who she treated like royalty compared to me.

How the hell did the mom continue to get custody. Shame on those who made those decisions.
Shes a woman. That's why.
That's the way it works in my point of view seen it time and time again Why?
I agree. The judge that gave that sweet child back to her mother should go to prison. He’s as responsible as the mother.
This story broke me down bad. I can't imagine the pain that baby felt from someone who was supposed to love her. Her mother was jealous of the love that she got from her father. R.I.P to that angel and her wonderful father who till his very last breath tried to protect his baby.
Truly terrible. Her older daughter had the nerve to come to my tiktok demanding that everyone forgive and forget since she did her time (revealing to me that she'd been released) and I had to block her. Not here to argue. I do my best to also keep in mind that she herself endured some terrible things including her sisters untinelt death. So her mind isn't in the right place.

Elisa Izquiedo was a “modern day Cinderella” due to having a loving father, and meeting Prince Michael of Greece
This made me cry so much. Reminds me of Gabriel Fernandez that was heart breaking as well. RIP baby girl
OMG, yees. Both cases are horrific and hurt my soul to this day. What id like to know is, if the monster who took this baby's life got punished? She was awarded her body so does that mean she got away with murder?
Worst part about it was that Gabriel Fernandez came out as bisexual to his parents before they killed him.
😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
💔
That’s a lie! They accused him of being gay. No evidence proof he was.
Her father was a hero😢 so sad the system failed to protect the child!
Her case is heartbreaking. I don't understand how the neighbors didn't do more. I couldn't take hearing her cry. I would've kept calling the police constantly to the point the whole station knew my name.
this!
Amen!!! I could never sit there and hear a child cry ever!!! I’m a mother I would be driving to police station to make complaints. This is disgusting
I would have been beating the door down to get to her , poor,sweet baby, she was beautiful !!!
I wouldn't have been able to wait for anyone as soon as I would hear a child screaming that way I would have gotten in that house any way i could to do whatever I could go protect that child. Any child!
Right
I remember hearing about this when it happened. I used to live in NYC (the Bronx). It doesn't surprise me that the system failed her. Even when I was in grade school in the Bronx, I'd see a kid or two with bruises on them and knew something was wrong, but the teachers did nothing. They wrote it off as "the kid got into a fight", not that "the parents did it to them". The teachers never even asked.
Elisa's mother was evil. She never should have had kids.
I loved the way this channel presented this case. Thanks for posting this story!
It's sad...it's a horrible cycle. The system is overwhelmed with workers who can't or don't know what the hell they are doing. They have no guidance
@@em-hg4jc that’s exactly right so many kids had the system fail them because of this

Such a beautiful child with a lovely father. Life is so unfair at times. I just don’t understand how anyone can mistreat a child like this. Especially knowing she has the cousin who would take care of her. Heartbreaking.
Child protecting laws didn't exist until people started to realize that animals were treated better than children. The ASPCA gave rise to child protection agencies but penalties for animal cruelty are still harsher than penalties for child abuse and neglect!
I don’t understand why these “parents” fight for custody of their children only to torture them to death. Why?! 😢
Sad to say 😢 but I think they do it for financial reasons
@@gildasalas190 agreed
@@gildasalas190 I said the same thing
Sometimes it is for money, revenge against the other parent, or they feel the child "belongs" to them by virtue of birth.
Financial reasons, narcissistic tendencies, and control. Also, on an even darker note, these “weak” and addicted parents form alliances with undesirable predators who look for opportunities to get close to these babies, in exchange for drugs or worse. How do I know this? My own mother sold me out when I was a little girl too. I was abused by many. I did get taken away from the situation and I’m really lucky to even be alive. RIP, Elisa💔
What a beautiful, bright little girl. What a sad, short life. Her father was so doting and attentive.
I just don't understand why this woman petitioned for custody, why any of these abusive parents tried to regain custody of their kids just to treat them like this, this makes me so angry and the courts never freaking listen
IVE N E V E R UNDERSTOOD THAT!!!!
Control or they want to hurt the other parent. Some kids are a pawn to a parent
Exactly what @FaithandNova said above. It is about power and control. They think of the children as their property.
Psychopaths
It’s a power thing for sick people like her
Such a beautiful child. So sad the system failed her. May her soul Rest In Peace. I hope her mother never comes out of jail. How can you hurt your own child? If you didn’t want her you should have given her to her cousin. So sad. This story touched me.
The system didnt fail her... if you listened to her story everyone put in a hand to help her. Her tuition was paid, her daddy was granted full custody. Now after the point where her daddy died, then the system failed her. But she was taken care of.
The system didn't fail,it murdered her.
The story broke my heart so much so that it made me scream out when I heard her father had cancer because I knew what that meant for a little Elisa. May she rest in peace with her daddy they too, can be together forever.
Very heartbreaking. She was so close to safety.
This poor child screaming out for her dad when she was being tortured broke my heart 💔, I had to pause the video and take a breath. She knew he could protect her if he only knew where she was.
Side note: Thank you for the work and research you put into these particular videos. I found this page yesterday and I’ve been binge-watching all your videos since.
Awilda would sometimes shout and scream at her “Because he is dead!”
Same here, I had to pause and take a breather. I don't understand what was going thru this mothers head. Sick sick individual. I don't like violence and all about being the bigger person but damn I wouldn't mind meeting her mother and letting her know how Elisa felt. Ugh.

I have no pity, or sympathy for any parent or parents that murder their child or children.

same. disgusting, but they are out there, nonetheless. anyone's child is a child whom would need intervention in order for them to be safe. and i would do that.
Whoever that judge was that gave custody to her for lack of a better term “mother” after her Father died need to bee fried and even prosecuted for that beautiful baby’s passing/murder

Yes, this assumption that the mother is always the better parent needs to stop. These days, too many mothers are not good parents. Not at all.

I really appreciate the effort that was put into this video. You made elisa's story real to the viewer.
As you said yourself, these tragedies are often forgotten. They need to be heard and reform needs to take place.
Elisa was a Very Special, Precious, Little Baby.💔💔🥀🥀💔🥀🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🕊️🕊️💔🥀
Just found you today. Love the compassion in your storytelling. ❤❤
This was the saddest one I’ve watched so far! How can you be jealous of your own child! Rip to her and her Dad 🥺♥️
We REALLY need to push for prison sentences for these officials who's neglect causes harm to theae little angels!!! We need to not accept nothing less!!! 🤬 I just hope she and the POS man of hers finally got what was coming to them with somw prison justice.
These cases need to be handled with ONE hearing to determine if the person in question did what they did and oncr its confirmed they're thrown in jail for life. No parole no good behavior, none of that corny shit. Just straight prison and thats your life now. So many children lost their lives in BRUTAL fashion and half these people are walking free working day jobs like nothing. IT NEEDS TO CHANGE. Never in my life did I assume if I caught a body id get out in 7 years or less. Shit is a walk in the park for a body. Its a joke.
That's the problem. So many people preach about how they're so against this type of stuff, and yet it's all talk because they turn around and give these people such light sentences. They coddle them and turn them into the "real" victim
So this monster only received seven years?!?!? WTH
As long as I live I will never, ever forget this little girl. I still have a copy of the Time magazine with Elisa's face on it saying how the system failed her.
That little girl was so sweet and innocent it upset me when her father died 💔 he protected her loved her and cared about her future. She was a wonderful little girl. RIP BOTH OF YOU FATHER AND DAUGHTER. THE DAUGHTER DID GET REUNITED WITH HER FATHER IN HEAVEN.
I will NEVER forget growing up in Queens hearing of this poor little girl's story on the news. Awilda was/is a monster.
Thank you for sharing and explaining this story. So sad. How was it possible that her remains were returned to mom after knowing she caused it. Poor dad who died and was probably turning in his grave. Breaks my heart.
I remember Elisa’s case like it was the other day. My daughters dad use to purchase the paper everyday. I as a young mother of a 2 yr old at the time, couldn’t fathom how a mother can cause so much harm to her child. I felt so much anger with the crappy system in place. Elisa should still be here she was failed by so many. May Elisa izquierdo continue to RIP. 😢
She was failed by so many. So so upsetting.
JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!! Please keep speaking about these childrens cases! People need to see what’s really going on and how communities, family and CPS is failing babies and children everywhere. We all need to do better.
Thank you so much!
That was absolutely a very respectful. Sad, and instilled a lot of anger in heart...how these monsters are set free. I am so grateful I found your channel...or should I say your channel founde. I cried from 😢 beginning to end. This is definitely your calling...and your narration was the topper
I think because your voice is comforting, yet direct and not shy that these things piss you off
Hats off to you...your hard work is truly appreciated. God Bless you and yours!! ❤😊
Thank you! May she always rest easy.
I will never forget Elisa I know one of the family member this case broke my heart to the core Alisa nevered deserve this no child should go through what Elisa went through Elisa will always be in my heart May she Rest In Peace ❤️🙏😢Thank you for sharing Elisa Tragic story🙏🫶🏽🌻
i remember this story deeply. I cried and i remember actually my mom attending the funeral
New subscriber here, soy de Ecuador pero vivo en Canada hace 33 años , me da tanta pena lo que le hicieron a esta hermosa niña, no hay palabras para describir lo que siento, rest In peace beautiful princess. Su papá la amaba tanto que desgracia que falleció sino otro cuento sería, muchas gracias great delivery 😢
It's bad enough that men will not get involved if a woman is beaten or s3xally assaulted by a man in public, but for people to turn a blind eye to child abuse that is obvious is disgusting. Children will stand up for other children, yet adults do nothing and worse, often protect the abuser.
I agree completely!!
MAN... this was a hard one to get through without pausing, I believe the mother resented this beautiful little angel bc she was & is beautiful & she knew her father absolutely adored her, and all the attention she got bc she was such an amazing little girl, and she had none of that. When u read the part where they chopped off her hair I thought how her father made sure it was perfect everyday, when u read they used her head as a mop I thought the same thing again ( but it was still so powerful the statement u read ) everything her father took pride with everything he did for his daughter this pos ( bc she's no mother ) tried to take it all away from her. Then u read that she actually got the rights to the little girls body ( to be buried where she wanted her to be ) I'm disgusted bc she lost all rights imo when her dad got her she NEVER probed herself, how did the monster she married was allowed round children when he stabbed her 17 times? All the ppl that did fight for her ( except the neighbors bc their's no excuse) the neighbors ( if it was me ) should've ran up in that damn house & just did something or at least make so many damn calls the police have to come. I'm SICK & TIRED of so called "mother's" getting custody just bc of that title, it's obvious she wasn't changing & everyone involved that failed this baby should be held accountable imo ( especially the judge that allowed all that he allowed) anyways she's with her father now where she can be treated the way she remembered but it's sad she thought her father abandoned her, she was taken from this world a little beam of light ( u could feel her light with her big bright smile through the screen ) RIP TO HER WONDERFUL FATHER THAT KNEW NOTHING AT FIRST ABOUT KIDS BUT LEARNED, THEN MADE SURE HE MADE A BETTER LIFE... RIP👼 ELIZA UR STILL THE PRINCESS U ALWAYS WERE U WILL NEBER BE FORGOTTEN THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HEAR THESE STORIES. My deepest condolences to everyone that was in her life & loved her & I pray u can heal in time at your pace & find peace u can tell she touched so many ppl & at least she was loved for the time she was with her dad & everyone she met her pos "mom" had no right to take that, I know these stories are hard to hear but just remember what these children have been through & it's only right we hear their story bc they lived it RIP PRINCESS 👸!!
I lost my own daughter six months ago I don't understand how she could murder her own child it's very hard for me to even try to imagine what this woman has done but the person who said all those wonderful things about the father how he loved his daughter I was still a single mom and Glamma raising my three year old grandson I have five grandsons all together obviously one two have to grow up without their mother my only daughter left has two & one special needs so will never understand this lady if we can call her that but yes this commenter I had to read some of the longest are in fact the Best & I was right thank you
Jealousy
@@taragraham6628 just saw u comment... fist of all I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. It must be such a blessing to have those grandbabies & it's so true idk how anyone can be like this to any child, it always makes me think how that poor baby in that moment must of felt while they see their own so called mother or father take their life from them, that's the last they see it's so heartbreaking. Well I hope u enjoying u day & have a great week, wishing u all the best u & family 🙏💙🖤 & stay strong bc u sound like an amazing lady & thank you for sharing your story with me bc u didn't have to!
SMH SO SAD IT GAVE ME CHILLS I PRAY THEY SUFFERED IN HELL
Yes! Chopping her hair off was an attempt at taking that part of her away! It was part of her beauty, girls take pride in their hair, it's their crown, and she knew that. Only jealousy and envy would lead her to do that.
