I have lived in Grantham my entire life, and was actually in the hospital when I was a baby after having fluid drained from my knee. Allitt was the nurse of duty several times and apparently tried to persuade my nana to go home and rest on several occasions, but my nana never left me alone, she always said “that woman gave me the creeps, so I wasn’t going anywhere” My Nan even slept in my cot with me and took me to the bathroom with her. This haunts our town, and the building these murders took place in is now closed and looks creepy as hell when you drive past….
Right! I remember hearing about this case about a year or two back and it just broke my heart! I'm excited to see how Eleanor covers this case and if she has anymore deets about why and how this happened 😩
I hate children they're annoying and loud but i would never hurt a child even if they're annoying me i would rather ignore them I don't understand that woman who would hurt these babies like she wasn't even getting the attention she wanted she's just hurting these babies because she wanted to
She’s is probably one of the worst people I’ve heard about. I’ve had a baby in the neonatal unit before and the amount of trust you have to put into those nurses (despite the worst feelings of anxiety) and for that trust to be betrayed?! There is no hell bad enough for this woman.
She’s already in hell… her mind and her existence is her hell. It won’t get worse after her death, that’s her sweet release from the hell of her mind and heart.
How did they not figure out how all these children were going into cardiac arrest over and over again? How did they not think something was suspicious about that? This is ridiculous how many times this happened and no one even thought to look at Nurse Alitt, who was there every time!
in another documentary, the hospital noticed it was weird after the first couple of deaths but it is really hard to investigate someone who is working in a hospital because of the fact that they have access to their victim
That’s why we have M&Ms To investigate what has gone wrong in a case and how it could have been prevented. Because even if you try your hardest and do everything 99% right one little mistake can have major catastrophic consequences, so we constantly go over things and who was at fault and what systems we have in place to do better. It’s very systematic
Absolutely outrageous that they even gave her the job to work with children in the first place and even more ridiculous that no one looked into her after she repeatedly killed those innocent children
I know but she was obviously really manipulative and the hospital were in need of nurses, plus she was only there for a trial and you wouldn’t expect somebody could do such things so I wouldn’t blame them fully , as she didn’t have any criminal record before hand that we know of
No, the hospital has innocent blood in thier hands, they knew she was not good as a nurse, imagine if it was your child who died in the hands of this monster and it could have been prevented! I mean, she smeared feaces in the oven! And everyone knew it was her! Who the hell gives a job to such a person let alone with kids?
You guys should watch "Тhе Тwіѕtеd Ѕtоry оf Lаcеy Ѕpеаrѕ", uploaded by Danielle Kirsty. I just watched it today and it's similar to this case, and both are just beyond horrible.
Also baffles me that the nurses she was living with never said anything about her horrible behavior or reported it. I doubt they would've let her continue her studies let alone work with children had they known the awful stuff she did at the dorm
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear dee
@@AxxLAfriku Its these damn cold nights, trying to figure out what's right, take me by the hand, take me somewhere new, I don't know who you are, but I miss you.
i don’t think i truly understood the “how can you hurt a baby” thing until my kid siblings were born. like they are literally everything to me in a way nobody has been in my whole life. the only reason i’m alive today is because i didn’t want my baby brother to grow up without me and the idea of hurting such small children is so wild
This is honestly so real. Younger siblings change your perspective. As much as I argue with them I’d do anything for them. They’re literally so precious. I cried when my little brother had his 14th birthday😂 but fr, proud of you for sticking around for them! Your siblings are lucky to have you!
this is almost my exact experience. my little sister is almost 2 now and she is my everything. i've loved true crime since i was a kid and never fully got the difference between hurting a child and an adult on an emotional level. like, obviously it's worse on paper but why do people care so much more about little kids? but now imagining that shit happening to my sister is horrifying
The second you said they put her in the children's ward, I JUMPED out of my chair and started yelling. That was the WORST mistake they could've made. If she was suspected of doing all that stuff living with her coworkers, they should've never let her near a defenseless child. She knew they couldn't snitch. She knew they couldn't fight back. She knew she could do whatever she wanted. What a sick human being, but the people who made the executive decision to put her there, are careless too. Ughhhh I'm so maddddd Edit: I have 3 kids, my oldest died of SIDS, and my third son was in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for two weeks. I'm so enraged that she put even the slightest doubt in my head with the nurses that cared for my children when I was not able to be there. This is such a disgusting person.
With how much she faked injuries, I'm surprised the parents never got investigated or CPS called on them. I know that people just played along with her "symptoms/injuries" but no one questioned it? Just sad :/
I cannot begin to imagine how devastating it would feel to not only lose your child, but then to later find out their deaths were 100% preventable. They're gone. All because their murderer was a deranged sadist who couldn't stop herself from murdering children for attention....
Or imagine this child who didn’t get a CPS call and could of been saved. Honestly I blame the parents and school for not noticing. This was 100% preventable.
This was absolutely sickening to listen too, how disgustingly awful and messed up Beverley is, imagine leaving your child, and putting all your trust into a nurse, that they are going to take care of him, and then she does this, absolutely awful.
I LOVE how you will say things like “and I think it wasn’t the weight, but the bullying” because it really adds a touch of what YOU think too. I love it.
Personally, I have a hard time understanding how someone with munchausen can get so much medical attention, but that's because I've always had a lot of health problems that were mostly dismissed. I just can't understand how this chick managed to get an organ removed when there wasn't a problem, and yet it takes a lot of time for many people with physical conditions to even find a doctor who will listen. I get that the mind can trick the body into acting a certain way, but I think that's only if the person truly believes that they have that issue. Just seems so strange to me
From what little I know of Munchausen’s, people who suffer this mental illness are not like a person who has health problems and is frustrated in getting help. They make getting medical attention their entire purpose in life AND they will fake symptoms by any means necessary to support their view of themselves as being special and deserving special treatment. They will take or do things to make themselves sick; they will go to doctor after doctor after doctor; they will learn all the lingo and will seize on the smallest indicators; they will craft their entire personality as being “sick” so that all the people around them believe it; they will use wheelchairs and braces and crutches even if they don’t need them; on and on and on. They suck up a LOT of medical resources because they just won’t stop, they pick up on gullible or sympathetic doctors, and they’ll make themselves sick with substances, lack of eating, etc to be as convincing as possible. Frankly, it’s sociopathic; they get their way by being willing to lie relentlessly.
Right? My daughter and I both have a genetic disorder that causes chronic fatigue, among many other things. It's not yet understood in the medical field, so it's really hard to get a formal diagnosis. I've lost count of how many doctors completely dismissed my symptoms as if I didn't say anything or was exaggerating, yet she is set up for SURGERY due to her complaints. 😳
@@kimberlyoldschool I guess it's just hard for me to fully grasp the concept because I always have a lot of problems, so I've never been one to fake sick because I'm likely to actually get sick during that time. It's like how some kids fake sick to get out of school, and that's a common trope. A lot of people expect a kid to fake sick at least once during childhood, but then there are those of us who just were sick too often to tempt the fates. It's hard for both ends of the spectrum to fully understand each other. From the false illness/injury side, the view tends to be "my issue is more important than yours, even if they're the same." Whereas with the always sick side, the view tends to be “I dobt even say I’m sick until I’m sure so I don’t bring it upon myself.” Like, I know how they do it but I still couldn’t imagine faking sickness/injury, but maybe that’s also from growing up with a lot of dismissed/unrecognized problems.
@@VioletJoy Ugh, it's so much worse when chronic fatigue is one of your main problems. I've got fatigue too and didn't even know that I have multiple conditions contributing to it until a few years ago. I'm still not sure how I managed to graduate from high school because those years were some of the worst for my fatigue, and I was basically anchored to my bed (aside from going to school). And ofc I didn't know what was going on, so everyone just thought I was lazy and shit like that. Fatigue is a SERIOUSLY underestimated symptom. But yeah, I feel you on that. I'm still not fully diagnosed (because American healthcare system), and I still don't understand how someone I know has gone through so many doctors giving so many different opinions on something that might just be munchausen (and I don't like to doubt the symptoms of others).
This case infuriates me, especially since I’m a nurse. The amount of trust and faith that patients and their families put in the nurses and health professionals, and this witch destroys that trust and faith. Please don’t let this case make you distrustful to nurses and health professionals. We’re not all like Beverly.
I totally agree, I'm training to be a nurse just now, but I'd also encourage people to not blindly or implicitly trust people because of their profession. Coz sadly people like Beverly exist as police officers, teachers and nurses ect. Gotta keep a healthy level of skepticism IMO to keep yourself safe ❤️
@@Gaymergeddon I was going to say exactly this. There's a vaccine they give preteens and teenagers. They wanted to give it to my 9yr old son when it first came out. I said no because he's obviously not having sex yet, and it came out way too fast for me.. You're not using one of kids as a guinea pig. This nurse tried to give it to my son anyway! I was counting the syringes, because for some reason I didn't trust this woman. I told her that she's not giving my son anything and we left. This is after I asked her why there was an extra syringe and she admitted to it. Nope.. because I don't know which syringe it is, and I no longer trust that office. I doubt anything happened, because the pediatrician acted like it was nothing important.. F that. They lost a LOT of money because I had 4 sons, and I also told every parent, put fliers around different neighborhoods, schools (with permissions) , etc.. if they're doing that, wtf else are they doing there?
I used to live across the road from Rampton high security mental Hospital where beverley is currently looked after, so scary to think who and what I was living across from😬😬
Ok but the rush of happiness I felt when you said Kaylee eventually learned how to walk and talk after the attack, that's amazing. I wish her the absolute best and it brings me a lot of joy to know that she survived and is now living a happy life with her family, you go Kaylee!!!
I absolutely loved the way you took time to describe how the killer presumably became the person who she is now, how small events, insecurities, jealousy affected her and how she gradually started showing symptoms. You always talk with compassion and kindness. Much appreciated
The father of the 3rd victim (picture at 41:38) runs a second-hand bookshop - I believed it is a charity shop as well. I have met both of them and they are lovely people.
This is what is terrifying about safe guarding and health because predators always try to put themselves in roles where they have access to their victim type.
My aunt is a Psychologist, and I have lost count of how many tines she's said she encounter doctors and nurses who display masked symptoms of sociopathy or Bipolar disorders. She also stated that a doctor she met in Florida put numerous red flags for psychopathy, he completely went u fazed as she watched him tell a family in the waiting room that their son didn't survive the operating table and at one point she said she saw him hide a sneer as they cried
@@voidbreather7405 She actually did bring it up and wrote a Letter to Corporate, but as far as I know nothing came of her expressed concerns to Corporate. I don't want to name the Hospital for any sort of legality reasons but I can say it was in Leesburg
Yeah... I realized that I probably shouldn't have watched this because I'm due in 5 weeks. I would have been fine if she had worked with older patients, but because she was working with children it makes me nervous...
eleanor, whenever i watch your videos around my mother, she asks me "is that our girl, mar? the true crime girl?" she doesn't know your name, but she knows what you do and how well you make your videos. sending love from me and my mom ❤️❤️
My daughter was severely ill last year with chronic kidney disease and was in picu for a few days and was in hospital for 2 and a half month, I never once left. The trust you put into the nurses and doctors is hard but you know they are doing what they can to help your child and I cant begin to imagine having that trust broken in such a way. Cant believe she was ever put in such a powerful position
The love that the poor parents who lost their babies to this monster have for them was just so heart breaking to hear the nicknames and poems they gave their darlings only for them to be ripped away from them so unnecessarily 😔
@@lachrymoseleslie6624 self harm and mental illness wasn’t really taken seriously until the recent years, and corporal punishment on children wasn’t illegal until 1989, so that might be why nobody was called.
@@schnitzulz True. I know Eleanor claims she probably wasn't neglected, but I don't agree. I was a middle child, and wasn't given as much attention as my other three siblings... But still, the attention I got wasn't so deficient that I felt the need to literally HARM MYSELF just to get it? Lack of attention and favoritism ARE neglect. It's sad to think how many people would've NOT been kiIIed by her, had her parents made just an hour for her in the day.
How does a puncture mark not raise more red flags?? That’s literally a way of inducing cardiac arrest. This whole case is so awful, those poor families. I don’t understand how people can take advantage of or harm others, let alone children who are the most innocent and vulnerable of all. Absolutely vile.
this is my hometown! they've completely stopped using the maternity ward now, moved which part of the building it's in and left the original now untouched. For years people in Grantham wouldn't have their children in Grantham, they'd go to Lincoln instead, it really effected the local community.
I just want to fact check, it’s not used due to poor building structure and the fact grantham is so underfunded with the NHS. This change occurred in 2013/4
@@EllieDaisy it's a mixture, people weren't using it anyway because they feared it happening again, that factored in with the underfunding and such it's just not used altogether. the building is still there, just empty
@@imnotcaitlyn8555 I know I live here and was born there 😉 We still have a maternity ward it’s just in another building and people continued to give birth in that building though from 1991- 1014. X
@@EllieDaisy i was born in the moved ward, know a decent amout people who's parents very specifically chose not to give birth in grantham because of beverley. but it's nice that people did keep going and it's still getting use, i don't want to know what would happen if we lost even more funding for the hospital x
I love these multi-part stories. You allow yourself to get into so much detail and fully set the scene and build emotion. I love your story times, girl.
I've watched documentaries on this killer nurse, and my heart always breaks for her small victims, and their families. I appreciate you going into detail about the red flags missed with Beverly's behavior, and your sympathetic approach towards the people who suffered because of her.
I know you say her childhood was "fine" but if Beverley was self-harming for years, /obviously/ too, and her parents didn't notice, it makes me think she was neglected, purposefully or not. there's no way a child can have so many sick days, fake her own illnesses at her school, and constantly appear injured without someone thinking there was something wrong... EVERYONE failed her in her early life. its not an excuse for her murders of course but it is completely unnatural for a child to develop such severe mental health issues with no "obvious" cause, and it's very weird to me that it was never questioned or investigated.
in fairness... I hid my own depression, s/h, my eating disorder and my anxiety for years from everyone, because I knew how to pretend. it took them about four years to clock on, and when they did, I was immediately helped
@@20dabarr58 I think depression etc is easier to hide than faking illnesses (I have hidden depression from my own family also) - and like you say, you knew how to pretend. with beverley it doesnt sound like she was even trying to hide it, how was she going to the doctor for all these minor complaints as a young person/teenager and no one picked up on it? why did the school not do anything about her constant absenteeism? if they did, why did her parents not intervene? idk, there were plenty of opportunities to help her, I feel like if she got what she needed from her parents/other people in her life maybe she would never have developed munchhausen syndrome to begin with.
100%. I don't understand how the media didn't question whether the parents were neglectful when their child was visibly injured constantly for years. Furthermore, if a student kept showing up to school with physical injuries, why wouldn't the teachers suspect that she might be a victim of abuse and investigate it?
@@katieggg100 right... she's never at school, but when she is there she's always sick or injured, she doesn't have any friends or social skills, and she's underperforming. aren't these all massive red flags when taken in combination? I don't understand how that's not on anyone's mind...
I was wondering when you were going to cover her, I live in Grantham and this woman is a true stain on the towns history! I was born after her killing spree, but I believe my mother actually had my older brother in Grantham hospital during her time there due to pneumonia, it's terrifying, I hope I'm never this close to a serial killer again and I wasn't even alive yet 😅😣
I’m from Grantham too. I was already born during her spree however my brother was born in 1991 whilst she was there. Fortunately he was never in a position to be in her care however I know people who are still to this day living with the life altering affects of what she did to them.
The thing with the appendicitis at 15:24 - you don't usually scan the patients who come to you with acute pain, the diagnosis is mostly clinical. Imaging is done only when the patient presents with inconclusive clinical features. So Beverly pretty much faked her pain throughout her physical exam and convinced the a&e staff and since it's a surgical emergency she was able to get away with it.
@@mykarma4345 true, I'm not sure about the pre-op assessments during the time this took place, they probably proceeded with the surgery despite a normal count. Was Alvarado score a thing back then?
I only had appendicitis a few month ago, and they had another patient in my room who had a way less acute case, but they where still doing the operation, because the doctor said, once it's irritated once, it will become irritated again and even if we can calm the infection now, we'll just have to take it out later. She did have inflammation markers, but rather low ones. So if that's the stance even now, I can totally see someone 40 years or whatever ago faking it enough for them to do an operation, when the testing was not quite as accurate as it is now.
I was in agony, throwing up, feverish/flushed, my "lady cycle" just stopped when it wasn't time. I had to drink a bunch of thick, not even apple-apple flavored stuff and injected with dye for a scan (cat or MRI Im admittedly ignorance as to which is which). The attending Dr declared appendicitis within seconds of seeing me...
@@annoyedkitten4964 Yeah in the past they were much more likely to just take it out - nowadays they are far more likely to use watchful waiting on low-grade symptoms and oral/iv antibiotics, whereas back then (I was born in the late 70s) things were very very different. Every appendectomy was big surgery too, keyhole surgery wasn't a thing when I was a kid, and they treated an "acute abdomen" very definitively. At the time, the thinking was it's better to remove a healthy appendix than miss a bad one and end up with peritonitis. The incision would have been several inches long too, and much easier to get infected or post-op complications. A friend of mine had her appendix out when I was... I think 14? She was in the hospital for over a week. My MOTHER had her appendix out when she was a child in the fifties, and she only had that done using chloroform as the anaesthetic, too. Amazing how much things have changed.
Super excited for this! Can you please cover the Sara Cameron murder? She was sadly murdered a 15 minute walk away from my house in 2000 and her murder was unsolved for years (my step dad and many others were screened in our village). My step dad was also working on a site just feet away from where she was found at the time.
As a healthcare worker it really blows my mind that someone would enter this profession with such evil in their heart. I will be looking out for part 2! Maybe if you get a chance you can look into the Kathleen Durst case. She went missing in 1982 and her husband wasn't convicted until Oct. 2021, but her body was never discovered.
My Dad used to work in the hospital where she was sent after she was apprehended. He told me that she always seemed like a very laid back person and was intensely casual with the staff in the way she behaved and she talked, she was sophisticated and you wouldn’t believe she’d killed children if you spoke with her.
Somebody I know works there and the stories Beverly talks about are horrific but she has always been really kind to the lady who I know and she is always really laid back
As a man who be enjoying true crime stories, Lady Eleanor really does tell it straight and give us everything she can without wrecking our mentalities. Just might think about becoming a supporter. Been binge watching your videos!
I finished watching EVERY. SINGLE. VIDEO. on your ENTIRE channel last night. You are now and forever my favorite true crime girl in the history of forever 😭😭
As a nurse myself, just thinking about the type of monster you have to be to do what she did to those poor babies gives me chills. I've been in codes for both adults and children and just thinking about the amount of trauma that she repeatedly placed on her coworkers, the physician's, and the families is absolutely horrifying.
As a t1d, the feeling of your bloods being low is the worst feeling i have ever been through, the feelings these children’s and BABIES went through i can’t even imagine 💔
I love the way you respectfully convey these stories. Thank you for researching and sharing! ✨ Rest in peace to the victims and may they be always in our prayers!
I've heard this case covered a dozen times, but never this well! I've never heard about her childhood or early life, or about the Munchhausen, only the Munchhausen by proxy later on. Eleanor always has the best, most detailed, and also most respectful true crime videos! Honestly, binging through your videos is something I do often, it helps me with my anxiety and I listen to them to fall asleep a lot. Keep up the amazing work! Truly one of my favourite channels!
I’m so glad this has been covered. I grew up in Grantham, and went to school with 2 people who were related to her victims. Kids at school used to always talk about how if you end up in the hospital and you’ve been naughty, there was a bad nurse who’d kill you. 💀 Luckily, whilst Grantham hospital is a bit naff and hasn’t been fully operational for the last almost decade, almost all of the staff are absolutely brilliant, and have saved my life 4 times. ✨
@@theradioestofbois I had pneumonia. Hypoxia. Ruptured appendix. And also spicy upstairs moment. Not to mention they took charge of my lung health, I’d been complaining to docs for years that breathing was /hard/. They blamed it on weight, posture and diet. Turns out I’d been living my whole life with uncontrolled, kinda angry (and potentially fatal) asthma. Breathing is now never a problem unless I get sick.
so much of this could have been prevented if she had been helped by the adults in her life, and started therapy. if someone had just noticed the self harm, the constant injuries, etc, so much could have been done to help her and prevent these horrible crimes.
People did try and help her with the self harm . She was a evil person she had friend her parents we’re nice people. She did have some friends but due to how she acts or behaving it pushed people away
@@MoBahar687 a lot of serial killers were abused and it warped their sense of reality- yes, some people are just cruel, and horrible, but childhood trauma, a head injury, and lack of mental health treatment are often a reason why they are allowed to become serial killers.

having an 8 month old daughter and hearing this just breaks my heart into a million pieces. it also makes me not want to trust doctors/nurses ever again
I love how you tell people to not watch your video if it’s too hard on them, there’s a coje of y’all who do this and it’s admirable. In a day in age, where social media is the thing, and people care about likes and followers more than anything, it’s nice to see people care about other peoples mental health more than their likes 🖤
This has me shaking I couldn’t imagine the pure panic and fear those parents went thru while there babies were being tormented by someone that was suppose to help em
I’ve grown up in Grantham my whole life & my mum worked at the hospital nursery when Beverley Allitt worked there. This case is so horrific & rlly did affect the whole county!! The building where it happened has been closed for years but you can still see it clear as day when you drive past which is so haunting :/
I think you might be the only true crime content creator they gives a warning for distressing content to do with animals, and I really really appreciate that. Every time I hear something sad about any animal it ruins my mood for the whole day. Although I’m going to skip this video I’ll go and find another one of your videos to watch because I still want to support you. Love you Eleanor, queen!
I was born in Grantham (luckily a couple of years after the events) and am so glad to see you covering this case. People still talked about this woman while I was growing up, she definitely left her mark on everyone there
Oh my god, these videos are GREAT. Your voice is so smooth and it's so easy to concentrate on what's being said. I listen to your videos in the background while I draw, during homework, and while I do house cleaning! ^^
For a very long time, I kept having really weird medical issues. The only way doctors could explain it was that "the mind is a powerful thing". Made me feel crazy. I worried I had Munchausen syndrome and was making myself sick. Finally saw a geneticist after my knees locked and I couldn't walk. Turns out I have Ehlers danlos syndrome.
im glad you got a diagnosis! i know how reassuring it can be to know how relieving it is to finally figure out whats wrong. i hope you're doing better now too
They always tell women its in their head that they're fine. But no one knows their body more than themselves it's sad this happens so often, and usually, diagnosis is made when it's too late or already in its late stages.
Beverley Allitt reminds me of “the angel of death” Genene Jones from here in the States. And I agree with you Eleanor, UK documentaries are the best! ☺️
I’ve wondered for ages if any of my favourite true crime UA-camrs would do a video on Beverly Allitt! It’s a case that fascinates & angers me immensely at the same time it’s just infuriating how little this monster is being punished. Thankyou Eleanor 🤍
this is so interesting, never heard of something like this before! and also its much scarier because someone who's supposed to take care of babies is the one harming them. imagine how much pain the parents of these kids must have gone through..
I usually don’t feel so heartbroken by these cases, of course they’re horrible and sad but when the mother of the second child’s poem was read I actually cried a bit cause the poem was just so heartbreaking you can really read the mother’s grief in the poem. This is the one of the saddest cases I’ve heard of an angel of death primarily because they’re young children. It’s so horrible hearing about their age’s being just a few weeks or months. Not even walking or talking age, not old enough to understand what the hell would be going on. Truly devastating that people that are like this are able to get away with this stuff past their first victim.
i remember watching a documentary about her and my heart broke for how one of her victims search their room every night before they go to sleep because theyre so scared of her
For every time my daughter has had a grand mole seizure, I haven’t left her at the hospital by herself. Watching this makes me feel like it’s probably a good thing! I wouldn’t leave my kids at the hospital without me 🙉 I don’t trust anyone!
A nurse almost killed me when I was very young by turning off the machine keeping me alive. By the time I was found I was unconscious and having seizures. She claimed it was an accident and I don't think got into trouble for it, but I've always wondered if it could have been a situation like this where she did it on purpose. It would have been very clear on my notes not to turn the machine off. Think it would have been in the same year as Beverley Allitt's crimes too (definitely wasn't her though)
Yo at this point I don't even watch your 2 parters when they come out cause by the time you upload the second video I've literally forgotten everything in the first one
I watched this story recently via someone else who yt recommended - but honestly, listening to you tell it was like watching something new. I just love the way you tell these stories & you’re always my #1 go to xxx
Omg I’m so happy to see Eleanor cover this case! I’ve been asking for it for a while because no other true crime UA-camr is as easy to listen to as her ❤️
Cant believe you mentioned the polish brothers murders. I actually am from Luton and just before they were murdered I used to serve them in the town centre charity shop (salvation army) they were the nicest guys and the murders shocked me beyond belief! Keep doing what you do eleanor your a legend! Xxz
Just a personal anecdote 15 mins into the video: When I was 16/17 in the early 2010s I ended up in hospital with horrible abdominal pains that they thought could be appendicitis. They did a blood test and a urine test which didn’t say anything weird but by the end of the day they’d sent two surgeons in to prep me for an appendectomy. I was super scared of surgery so I feigned recovery and they sent me home lol (still don’t know what it was but I didn’t die, maybe period pain but I haven’t had it that bad since or prior to that) So really just pain in that general area seems to be the only condition needed to take your appendix out.
This is such a terrible and foul thing to do but what makes it even worse is that a nurse named Lucy Letby did literally the same thing at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England. How many more nurses are out there like this? It’s terrifying.
Has any one ever asked her what was she gaining from harming/ killing babies? Coz o dont get it what kind of attention...seeking person would go this far for it Its sicking n disgusting and..... sad. For those lovely sweet. Babies💔
I would imagine similar to the attention a arsonist that works at a fire department gets. It's likely not so much just the attention she can garner but watching everyone running around
People like her cause these problems to look good fixing them. Other nurses were so thankful whenever she volunteered to watch the sick kids, and I'm sure that secretly knowing the cause of the collapse would give her an upper hand in treating it, compared to other doctors who were just super confused. It feels good being a hero/martyr, so some sick minds are willing to go to these horrible extents for attention
I remember when this case came across the pond to the States. I am a nurse and this case is when checking sugar levels became routine part of vital signs. Poor babies, my heart goes out to their families. Eagerly sticking around for part 2
I've never been able to get this case out of my head since I first heard about it. My son spend most of his life in hospital before he passed away when he was 4. The amount of times I had to leave him of the evening just to have a break, and trust the nurses to look after him (they became family to us). The thought of someone harming children who have been placed into their care makes me sick.
The amount that cardiac arrest got mention in this video is just wow like how can they not figure out about why all of the child suddenly getting into cardiac arrest and they don't even suspect Beverly maybe because of how she's being "nice" and "helpful"
Grantham's my hometown! My mum's a nurse and worked at the hospital at the same time as Beverly. Some of her friends were friends with Beverly and she'd babysit their young children. This case doesn't get enough attention, for the lives she destroyed and the community that she hurt. Thankyou for covering the case! Cc
I'm a nurse, when I was a student we had to pick a case to cover, about a major lapse in Nursing and what we now do differently and I chose to cover this case. Thank you for covering the angel of death case.
I have lived in Grantham my entire life, and was actually in the hospital when I was a baby after having fluid drained from my knee.
Allitt was the nurse of duty several times and apparently tried to persuade my nana to go home and rest on several occasions, but my nana never left me alone, she always said “that woman gave me the creeps, so I wasn’t going anywhere”
My Nan even slept in my cot with me and took me to the bathroom with her.
This haunts our town, and the building these murders took place in is now closed and looks creepy as hell when you drive past….
Wow, your nana is a amazing! Glad she trusted her gut feeling
Your Nana's gut feeling may have very well saved your life.. bless her.
10/10 Nana. 5 stars.
That God for your nan...I had one like her, too.
Thank goodness for your Nana, she's a true guardian angel xx
I don’t understand how someone could ever want to hurt a child
Poor babies they didn’t even get to be their own person yet
One was even gearing up for secondary school man.
Yes ☹️ I agree it’s sick
Right! I remember hearing about this case about a year or two back and it just broke my heart! I'm excited to see how Eleanor covers this case and if she has anymore deets about why and how this happened 😩
I hate children they're annoying and loud but i would never hurt a child even if they're annoying me i would rather ignore them I don't understand that woman who would hurt these babies like she wasn't even getting the attention she wanted she's just hurting these babies because she wanted to
Only the worst of the worst
She’s is probably one of the worst people I’ve heard about.
I’ve had a baby in the neonatal unit before and the amount of trust you have to put into those nurses (despite the worst feelings of anxiety) and for that trust to be betrayed?!
There is no hell bad enough for this woman.
My son was in the NICU for 2 weeks and I was thinking the same thing. I trusted them so much, they were amazing.
She’s already in hell… her mind and her existence is her hell. It won’t get worse after her death, that’s her sweet release from the hell of her mind and heart.
AGREED!! 💯💯
Oh she’s definitely one of the worst!
They were gonna do a surgery on me which would have killed me according to my mom who is a doctor which didnt allow them to
How did they not figure out how all these children were going into cardiac arrest over and over again? How did they not think something was suspicious about that? This is ridiculous how many times this happened and no one even thought to look at Nurse Alitt, who was there every time!
in another documentary, the hospital noticed it was weird after the first couple of deaths but it is really hard to investigate someone who is working in a hospital because of the fact that they have access to their victim
That’s why we have M&Ms
To investigate what has gone wrong in a case and how it could have been prevented. Because even if you try your hardest and do everything 99% right one little mistake can have major catastrophic consequences, so we constantly go over things and who was at fault and what systems we have in place to do better. It’s very systematic
Dyggg, same pattern!
my mum was on a nursing course with beverly, she couldn’t believe it when she saw this case in the newspaper, so so heartbreaking :(
Did your mom notice anything about her?
@@miriamelle864 not really i don’t think, they were never friends, but they did speak as they were on a course with only about 6 other women
My best friends mum also trained with Beverley
My heart breaks every time you say “2 parter” because I could sit and watch you for hours!!! I’m already caught up on EVERY video 🥴
Yeah, I always save it to my faves and wait. It’s tough 😅
Literally same! I go back a rewatch the older ones. Sometimes I don’t remember the plot fully!’
Sameeee
Same!
Same and I rewatch
Absolutely outrageous that they even gave her the job to work with children in the first place and even more ridiculous that no one looked into her after she repeatedly killed those innocent children
I know but she was obviously really manipulative and the hospital were in need of nurses, plus she was only there for a trial and you wouldn’t expect somebody could do such things so I wouldn’t blame them fully , as she didn’t have any criminal record before hand that we know of
No, the hospital has innocent blood in thier hands, they knew she was not good as a nurse, imagine if it was your child who died in the hands of this monster and it could have been prevented! I mean, she smeared feaces in the oven! And everyone knew it was her! Who the hell gives a job to such a person let alone with kids?
You guys should watch "Тhе Тwіѕtеd Ѕtоry оf Lаcеy Ѕpеаrѕ", uploaded by Danielle Kirsty. I just watched it today and it's similar to this case, and both are just beyond horrible.
Danielle kirsty does good cases too 👍
Also baffles me that the nurses she was living with never said anything about her horrible behavior or reported it. I doubt they would've let her continue her studies let alone work with children had they known the awful stuff she did at the dorm
The absolute RAGE I feel towards Beverly is overwhelming. What a waste of a person.
Right? I almost feel bad for some of these people because of their horrible childhood but not this woman!
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else. Gets me frustrated. Just admit that you love the videos I make, my dear dee

@@AxxLAfriku babe wtf
@@AxxLAfriku Its these damn cold nights, trying to figure out what's right, take me by the hand, take me somewhere new, I don't know who you are, but I miss you.
i don’t think i truly understood the “how can you hurt a baby” thing until my kid siblings were born. like they are literally everything to me in a way nobody has been in my whole life. the only reason i’m alive today is because i didn’t want my baby brother to grow up without me and the idea of hurting such small children is so wild
i’m proud of you for staying 🫶🏻
This is honestly so real. Younger siblings change your perspective. As much as I argue with them I’d do anything for them. They’re literally so precious. I cried when my little brother had his 14th birthday😂 but fr, proud of you for sticking around for them! Your siblings are lucky to have you!
this is almost my exact experience. my little sister is almost 2 now and she is my everything. i've loved true crime since i was a kid and never fully got the difference between hurting a child and an adult on an emotional level. like, obviously it's worse on paper but why do people care so much more about little kids? but now imagining that shit happening to my sister is horrifying
The second you said they put her in the children's ward, I JUMPED out of my chair and started yelling. That was the WORST mistake they could've made. If she was suspected of doing all that stuff living with her coworkers, they should've never let her near a defenseless child. She knew they couldn't snitch. She knew they couldn't fight back. She knew she could do whatever she wanted. What a sick human being, but the people who made the executive decision to put her there, are careless too. Ughhhh I'm so maddddd
Edit: I have 3 kids, my oldest died of SIDS, and my third son was in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for two weeks. I'm so enraged that she put even the slightest doubt in my head with the nurses that cared for my children when I was not able to be there. This is such a disgusting person.
Maybe the employers at the nhs board didn’t know the goings on at the student accommodation unfortunately.
With how much she faked injuries, I'm surprised the parents never got investigated or CPS called on them. I know that people just played along with her "symptoms/injuries" but no one questioned it? Just sad :/
Different time x
@@chloephillips1381 I wonder if people ever questioned amongst themselves tho.
Defo different times my brother broke so many different bones younger. If that was now my mum would of defo had social services at her door 😂😂
tbf it was decades ago and some things just weren’t taken as seriously
As soon as you said she was assigned to a childrens ward... My heart sank. What horror. I really love your channel and how you tell these stories.
I cannot begin to imagine how devastating it would feel to not only lose your child, but then to later find out their deaths were 100% preventable. They're gone. All because their murderer was a deranged sadist who couldn't stop herself from murdering children for attention....
Right! Then attention that’s not even benefiting or on her she’s just the one causing it. Just Pitiful
Or imagine this child who didn’t get a CPS call and could of been saved. Honestly I blame the parents and school for not noticing. This was 100% preventable.
I would be furious if I were those parents. I hate cases like this they make me so upset
This was absolutely sickening to listen too, how disgustingly awful and messed up Beverley is, imagine leaving your child, and putting all your trust into a nurse, that they are going to take care of him, and then she does this, absolutely awful.
It’s sad
I LOVE how you will say things like “and I think it wasn’t the weight, but the bullying” because it really adds a touch of what YOU think too. I love it.
Personally, I have a hard time understanding how someone with munchausen can get so much medical attention, but that's because I've always had a lot of health problems that were mostly dismissed. I just can't understand how this chick managed to get an organ removed when there wasn't a problem, and yet it takes a lot of time for many people with physical conditions to even find a doctor who will listen. I get that the mind can trick the body into acting a certain way, but I think that's only if the person truly believes that they have that issue. Just seems so strange to me
From what little I know of Munchausen’s, people who suffer this mental illness are not like a person who has health problems and is frustrated in getting help. They make getting medical attention their entire purpose in life AND they will fake symptoms by any means necessary to support their view of themselves as being special and deserving special treatment. They will take or do things to make themselves sick; they will go to doctor after doctor after doctor; they will learn all the lingo and will seize on the smallest indicators; they will craft their entire personality as being “sick” so that all the people around them believe it; they will use wheelchairs and braces and crutches even if they don’t need them; on and on and on. They suck up a LOT of medical resources because they just won’t stop, they pick up on gullible or sympathetic doctors, and they’ll make themselves sick with substances, lack of eating, etc to be as convincing as possible. Frankly, it’s sociopathic; they get their way by being willing to lie relentlessly.
Right? My daughter and I both have a genetic disorder that causes chronic fatigue, among many other things. It's not yet understood in the medical field, so it's really hard to get a formal diagnosis. I've lost count of how many doctors completely dismissed my symptoms as if I didn't say anything or was exaggerating, yet she is set up for SURGERY due to her complaints. 😳
So sorry to hear about your health problems. It's not fun at all.
@@kimberlyoldschool I guess it's just hard for me to fully grasp the concept because I always have a lot of problems, so I've never been one to fake sick because I'm likely to actually get sick during that time. It's like how some kids fake sick to get out of school, and that's a common trope. A lot of people expect a kid to fake sick at least once during childhood, but then there are those of us who just were sick too often to tempt the fates. It's hard for both ends of the spectrum to fully understand each other. From the false illness/injury side, the view tends to be "my issue is more important than yours, even if they're the same." Whereas with the always sick side, the view tends to be “I dobt even say I’m sick until I’m sure so I don’t bring it upon myself.” Like, I know how they do it but I still couldn’t imagine faking sickness/injury, but maybe that’s also from growing up with a lot of dismissed/unrecognized problems.
@@VioletJoy Ugh, it's so much worse when chronic fatigue is one of your main problems. I've got fatigue too and didn't even know that I have multiple conditions contributing to it until a few years ago. I'm still not sure how I managed to graduate from high school because those years were some of the worst for my fatigue, and I was basically anchored to my bed (aside from going to school). And ofc I didn't know what was going on, so everyone just thought I was lazy and shit like that. Fatigue is a SERIOUSLY underestimated symptom.
But yeah, I feel you on that. I'm still not fully diagnosed (because American healthcare system), and I still don't understand how someone I know has gone through so many doctors giving so many different opinions on something that might just be munchausen (and I don't like to doubt the symptoms of others).
This case infuriates me, especially since I’m a nurse. The amount of trust and faith that patients and their families put in the nurses and health professionals, and this witch destroys that trust and faith. Please don’t let this case make you distrustful to nurses and health professionals. We’re not all like Beverly.
I totally agree, I'm training to be a nurse just now, but I'd also encourage people to not blindly or implicitly trust people because of their profession. Coz sadly people like Beverly exist as police officers, teachers and nurses ect. Gotta keep a healthy level of skepticism IMO to keep yourself safe ❤️
@@Gaymergeddon I was going to say exactly this. There's a vaccine they give preteens and teenagers. They wanted to give it to my 9yr old son when it first came out. I said no because he's obviously not having sex yet, and it came out way too fast for me.. You're not using one of kids as a guinea pig. This nurse tried to give it to my son anyway! I was counting the syringes, because for some reason I didn't trust this woman. I told her that she's not giving my son anything and we left. This is after I asked her why there was an extra syringe and she admitted to it. Nope.. because I don't know which syringe it is, and I no longer trust that office. I doubt anything happened, because the pediatrician acted like it was nothing important.. F that. They lost a LOT of money because I had 4 sons, and I also told every parent, put fliers around different neighborhoods, schools (with permissions) , etc.. if they're doing that, wtf else are they doing there?
@@Gaymergeddon You couldn't have said it better
I worked at this hospital!! There's signs around telling people to report suspish things about the nurses or if u suspect misconduct
There are in all hospitals

Yes, its called whistleblowing
Ok but the rush of happiness I felt when you said Kaylee eventually learned how to walk and talk after the attack, that's amazing. I wish her the absolute best and it brings me a lot of joy to know that she survived and is now living a happy life with her family, you go Kaylee!!!
I absolutely loved the way you took time to describe how the killer presumably became the person who she is now, how small events, insecurities, jealousy affected her and how she gradually started showing symptoms. You always talk with compassion and kindness. Much appreciated
The father of the 3rd victim (picture at 41:38) runs a second-hand bookshop - I believed it is a charity shop as well. I have met both of them and they are lovely people.

This is what is terrifying about safe guarding and health because predators always try to put themselves in roles where they have access to their victim type.
My aunt is a Psychologist, and I have lost count of how many tines she's said she encounter doctors and nurses who display masked symptoms of sociopathy or Bipolar disorders.

My daughter was severely ill last year with chronic kidney disease and was in picu for a few days and was in hospital for 2 and a half month, I never once left.
The trust you put into the nurses and doctors is hard but you know they are doing what they can to help your child and I cant begin to imagine having that trust broken in such a way. Cant believe she was ever put in such a powerful position
A 7 week old baby 😩. How depressing. My heart breaks for the families.
This is infuriating. How ANYONE could purposely hurt a child or baby is UNFORGIVABLE!
Great work Eleanor!
The love that the poor parents who lost their babies to this monster have for them was just so heart breaking to hear the nicknames and poems they gave their darlings only for them to be ripped away from them so unnecessarily 😔
here after the lucy letby case, truly tragic that beverly alitt has been beaten as the most prolific murderous nurse
I’m surprised her teachers didn’t report it to her parents or to the authorities thinking the injuries she had all the time came from them…. Curious…🤔
I thought the same. Like, wouldnt they think "this kid is injured an awful lot?!" and notify child protective services?
@@lachrymoseleslie6624 self harm and mental illness wasn’t really taken seriously until the recent years, and corporal punishment on children wasn’t illegal until 1989, so that might be why nobody was called.
@@schnitzulz True. I know Eleanor claims she probably wasn't neglected, but I don't agree. I was a middle child, and wasn't given as much attention as my other three siblings... But still, the attention I got wasn't so deficient that I felt the need to literally HARM MYSELF just to get it?
Lack of attention and favoritism ARE neglect. It's sad to think how many people would've NOT been kiIIed by her, had her parents made just an hour for her in the day.
Since she was seeking attention, she most likely fishing attention from kids her age to make "friends". Or just generally for attention
How does a puncture mark not raise more red flags?? That’s literally a way of inducing cardiac arrest. This whole case is so awful, those poor families. I don’t understand how people can take advantage of or harm others, let alone children who are the most innocent and vulnerable of all. Absolutely vile.
"That’s literally a way of inducing cardiac arrest. " yes, we've seen enough of that in the last year. many are still in denial.

@@EleanorNeale hi
this is my hometown! they've completely stopped using the maternity ward now, moved which part of the building it's in and left the original now untouched. For years people in Grantham wouldn't have their children in Grantham, they'd go to Lincoln instead, it really effected the local community.

I love these multi-part stories. You allow yourself to get into so much detail and fully set the scene and build emotion. I love your story times, girl.
I've watched documentaries on this killer nurse, and my heart always breaks for her small victims, and their families.
I appreciate you going into detail about the red flags missed with Beverly's behavior, and your sympathetic approach towards the people who suffered because of her.
I know you say her childhood was "fine" but if Beverley was self-harming for years, /obviously/ too, and her parents didn't notice, it makes me think she was neglected, purposefully or not. there's no way a child can have so many sick days, fake her own illnesses at her school, and constantly appear injured without someone thinking there was something wrong... EVERYONE failed her in her early life. its not an excuse for her murders of course but it is completely unnatural for a child to develop such severe mental health issues with no "obvious" cause, and it's very weird to me that it was never questioned or investigated.
in fairness... I hid my own depression, s/h, my eating disorder and my anxiety for years from everyone, because I knew how to pretend. it took them about four years to clock on, and when they did, I was immediately helped
@@20dabarr58 I think depression etc is easier to hide than faking illnesses (I have hidden depression from my own family also) - and like you say, you knew how to pretend. with beverley it doesnt sound like she was even trying to hide it, how was she going to the doctor for all these minor complaints as a young person/teenager and no one picked up on it? why did the school not do anything about her constant absenteeism? if they did, why did her parents not intervene? idk, there were plenty of opportunities to help her, I feel like if she got what she needed from her parents/other people in her life maybe she would never have developed munchhausen syndrome to begin with.
100%. I don't understand how the media didn't question whether the parents were neglectful when their child was visibly injured constantly for years. Furthermore, if a student kept showing up to school with physical injuries, why wouldn't the teachers suspect that she might be a victim of abuse and investigate it?
@@katieggg100 right... she's never at school, but when she is there she's always sick or injured, she doesn't have any friends or social skills, and she's underperforming. aren't these all massive red flags when taken in combination? I don't understand how that's not on anyone's mind...
Omg that’s actually disgusting! Maybe if she had gotten help, she may have not turned out so evil. I love your pfp btw! 💚
I was wondering when you were going to cover her, I live in Grantham and this woman is a true stain on the towns history! I was born after her killing spree, but I believe my mother actually had my older brother in Grantham hospital during her time there due to pneumonia, it's terrifying, I hope I'm never this close to a serial killer again and I wasn't even alive yet 😅😣
Doesn't she just.
I’m from Grantham too. I was already born during her spree however my brother was born in 1991 whilst she was there. Fortunately he was never in a position to be in her care however I know people who are still to this day living with the life altering affects of what she did to them.
The thing with the appendicitis at 15:24 - you don't usually scan the patients who come to you with acute pain, the diagnosis is mostly clinical. Imaging is done only when the patient presents with inconclusive clinical features. So Beverly pretty much faked her pain throughout her physical exam and convinced the a&e staff and since it's a surgical emergency she was able to get away with it.
But she still had to have raised leukocytes on blood screening. Which must be done for pre operative anesthesia assessment as well.
@@mykarma4345 true, I'm not sure about the pre-op assessments during the time this took place, they probably proceeded with the surgery despite a normal count. Was Alvarado score a thing back then?
I only had appendicitis a few month ago, and they had another patient in my room who had a way less acute case, but they where still doing the operation, because the doctor said, once it's irritated once, it will become irritated again and even if we can calm the infection now, we'll just have to take it out later. She did have inflammation markers, but rather low ones. So if that's the stance even now, I can totally see someone 40 years or whatever ago faking it enough for them to do an operation, when the testing was not quite as accurate as it is now.
I was in agony, throwing up, feverish/flushed, my "lady cycle" just stopped when it wasn't time. I had to drink a bunch of thick, not even apple-apple flavored stuff and injected with dye for a scan (cat or MRI Im admittedly ignorance as to which is which). The attending Dr declared appendicitis within seconds of seeing me...
@@annoyedkitten4964 Yeah in the past they were much more likely to just take it out - nowadays they are far more likely to use watchful waiting on low-grade symptoms and oral/iv antibiotics, whereas back then (I was born in the late 70s) things were very very different. Every appendectomy was big surgery too, keyhole surgery wasn't a thing when I was a kid, and they treated an "acute abdomen" very definitively. At the time, the thinking was it's better to remove a healthy appendix than miss a bad one and end up with peritonitis. The incision would have been several inches long too, and much easier to get infected or post-op complications. A friend of mine had her appendix out when I was... I think 14? She was in the hospital for over a week. My MOTHER had her appendix out when she was a child in the fifties, and she only had that done using chloroform as the anaesthetic, too. Amazing how much things have changed.

Good luck on your training! It is definitely a field in need of genuinely caring people
My Dad used to work in the hospital where she was sent after she was apprehended. He told me that she always seemed like a very laid back person and was intensely casual with the staff in the way she behaved and she talked, she was sophisticated and you wouldn’t believe she’d killed children if you spoke with her.
Somebody I know works there and the stories Beverly talks about are horrific but she has always been really kind to the lady who I know and she is always really laid back
As a man who be enjoying true crime stories, Lady Eleanor really does tell it straight and give us everything she can without wrecking our mentalities. Just might think about becoming a supporter. Been binge watching your videos!
I finished watching EVERY. SINGLE. VIDEO. on your ENTIRE channel last night. You are now and forever my favorite true crime girl in the history of forever 😭😭
Congratulations on doing that
You should try watching Channel Hailie Elizabeth
literally same😭. i dont watch youtube that much but ive been loyal to her for over a year now
As a nurse myself, just thinking about the type of monster you have to be to do what she did to those poor babies gives me chills. I've been in codes for both adults and children and just thinking about the amount of trauma that she repeatedly placed on her coworkers, the physician's, and the families is absolutely horrifying.
I love how respectful you are with the way you cover the cases. Your disclaimers at the beginning of your videos are very much appreciated.
As a t1d, the feeling of your bloods being low is the worst feeling i have ever been through, the feelings these children’s and BABIES went through i can’t even imagine 💔
What’s a t1d?
the feeling of happiness i get when i see eleanor has posted :)
the fact that this is so relatable 💀
I can't get over how the unit didn't piece together all the cardic arrests since that nurse. Those poor children!

I’m so glad this has been covered. I grew up in Grantham, and went to school with 2 people who were related to her victims. Kids at school used to always talk about how if you end up in the hospital and you’ve been naughty, there was a bad nurse who’d kill you. 💀
Luckily, whilst Grantham hospital is a bit naff and hasn’t been fully operational for the last almost decade, almost all of the staff are absolutely brilliant, and have saved my life 4 times. ✨
Uhh... May I inquire as to why 4 times?
@@theradioestofbois I had pneumonia. Hypoxia. Ruptured appendix. And also spicy upstairs moment.
Not to mention they took charge of my lung health, I’d been complaining to docs for years that breathing was /hard/. They blamed it on weight, posture and diet. Turns out I’d been living my whole life with uncontrolled, kinda angry (and potentially fatal) asthma. Breathing is now never a problem unless I get sick.
@@JessicaSmith-of7mw damn. Sorry that happened to you. Glad you're doing less badly now!
so much of this could have been prevented if she had been helped by the adults in her life, and started therapy. if someone had just noticed the self harm, the constant injuries, etc, so much could have been done to help her and prevent these horrible crimes.
Sure yes but not everyone decides to murder due to a terrible childhood. Its really sad.
People did try and help her with the self harm . She was a evil person she had friend her parents we’re nice people. She did have some friends but due to how she acts or behaving it pushed people away
@@bearshorty4659 which could have been helped with therapy and proper treatment. this could have been prevented.
@@MoBahar687 a lot of serial killers were abused and it warped their sense of reality- yes, some people are just cruel, and horrible, but childhood trauma, a head injury, and lack of mental health treatment are often a reason why they are allowed to become serial killers.
@@nina.robbs565 she shore doctors her mum and dad Tried to help her . She kept a lot things to her self. There’s lots people who have a bad upbringing or a horrible time in life and don’t turn out to be a murderer . She didn’t even have a hard life there is no excuse she is just pure evil .
having an 8 month old daughter and hearing this just breaks my heart into a million pieces. it also makes me not want to trust doctors/nurses ever again
I love how you tell people to not watch your video if it’s too hard on them, there’s a coje of y’all who do this and it’s admirable. In a day in age, where social media is the thing, and people care about likes and followers more than anything, it’s nice to see people care about other peoples mental health more than their likes 🖤
This is the closest case to me, I was born in this hospital 4 months before her first murder, it really scared my mum when it all came out
This has me shaking I couldn’t imagine the pure panic and fear those parents went thru while there babies were being tormented by someone that was suppose to help em
I’ve grown up in Grantham my whole life & my mum worked at the hospital nursery when Beverley Allitt worked there. This case is so horrific & rlly did affect the whole county!! The building where it happened has been closed for years but you can still see it clear as day when you drive past which is so haunting :/
I think you might be the only true crime content creator they gives a warning for distressing content to
do with animals, and I really really appreciate that. Every time I hear something sad about any animal it ruins my mood for the whole day. Although I’m going to skip this video I’ll go and find another one of your videos to watch because I still want to support you. Love you Eleanor, queen!
I was born in Grantham (luckily a couple of years after the events) and am so glad to see you covering this case. People still talked about this woman while I was growing up, she definitely left her mark on everyone there
Oh my god, these videos are GREAT. Your voice is so smooth and it's so easy to concentrate on what's being said. I listen to your videos in the background while I draw, during homework, and while I do house cleaning! ^^
Oh I'm so Hooked I've heard of this case I Love Her voice
For a very long time, I kept having really weird medical issues. The only way doctors could explain it was that "the mind is a powerful thing". Made me feel crazy. I worried I had Munchausen syndrome and was making myself sick. Finally saw a geneticist after my knees locked and I couldn't walk. Turns out I have Ehlers danlos syndrome.
That's the typical response doctors give to women tbh... It's really BS.
im glad you got a diagnosis! i know how reassuring it can be to know how relieving it is to finally figure out whats wrong. i hope you're doing better now too
They always tell women its in their head that they're fine. But no one knows their body more than themselves it's sad this happens so often, and usually, diagnosis is made when it's too late or already in its late stages.
i just looked up this syndrome and, well, shit. i can do most of the symptoms. told my mom about it and she'll talk to our doctor about
I have that too! I have Classic EDS. What about you?
Beverley Allitt reminds me of “the angel of death” Genene Jones from here in the States. And I agree with you Eleanor, UK documentaries are the best! ☺️
I took a year off from true crime. I've come back and checking on all my favs and oh my how you've bloomed. So happy for you!
I’ve wondered for ages if any of my favourite true crime UA-camrs would do a video on Beverly Allitt! It’s a case that fascinates & angers me immensely at the same time it’s just infuriating how little this monster is being punished. Thankyou Eleanor 🤍
I’ve heard this case before but your storytelling makes it just as interesting as hearing it the first time. Love your channel dude! ❤️
I remember it being reported on the tele
this is so interesting, never heard of something like this before! and also its much scarier because someone who's supposed to take care of babies is the one harming them. imagine how much pain the parents of these kids must have gone through..
How did the school not notice all these bandages and question why she kept getting hurt? Surely that's a safeguarding issue!
It was in the 80s, they probably weren’t as strict on stuff like that :)
@@betsyburt3814 I suppose, but still
@@AcousticTelevisions yes i do agree with you especially because she was constantly coming in with new injuries nearly every day.
it was decades ago so things were a bit different I imagine, especially since mental health wasn’t really taken as seriously
I usually don’t feel so heartbroken by these cases, of course they’re horrible and sad but when the mother of the second child’s poem was read I actually cried a bit cause the poem was just so heartbreaking you can really read the mother’s grief in the poem. This is the one of the saddest cases I’ve heard of an angel of death primarily because they’re young children. It’s so horrible hearing about their age’s being just a few weeks or months. Not even walking or talking age, not old enough to understand what the hell would be going on. Truly devastating that people that are like this are able to get away with this stuff past their first victim.
Its so terrible what happened to those kids, i hope that the ones who did survive have happy life despite all of there misfortunes. ❤
As a mum who has lost a young baby its so so sad to hear about all the innocent babies that got taken away 😢😢😢 x
i remember watching a documentary about her and my heart broke for how one of her victims search their room every night before they go to sleep because theyre so scared of her
That’s heartbreaking
Used to love seeing how you've done your make up each time... but now I just love how amazing and comfortable you are in your own skin x
Same! It kinda startled me at first with how different she looked, but I quickly came to love it!
For every time my daughter has had a grand mole seizure, I haven’t left her at the hospital by herself. Watching this makes me feel like it’s probably a good thing! I wouldn’t leave my kids at the hospital without me 🙉 I don’t trust anyone!
I remember I watching this documentary with my grandparents and was confused so thank you for the amazing explanation of what happened 💛
A nurse almost killed me when I was very young by turning off the machine keeping me alive. By the time I was found I was unconscious and having seizures. She claimed it was an accident and I don't think got into trouble for it, but I've always wondered if it could have been a situation like this where she did it on purpose. It would have been very clear on my notes not to turn the machine off. Think it would have been in the same year as Beverley Allitt's crimes too (definitely wasn't her though)
My heart sank when you said they hired her to a children’s hospital. I just know this women is going to be the most evil pos.
God, each time you say the age of a victim I felt a pain in my heart.
Same😭
Yo at this point I don't even watch your 2 parters when they come out cause by the time you upload the second video I've literally forgotten everything in the first one
I watched this story recently via someone else who yt recommended - but honestly, listening to you tell it was like watching something new. I just love the way you tell these stories & you’re always my #1 go to xxx
Omg I’m so happy to see Eleanor cover this case! I’ve been asking for it for a while because no other true crime UA-camr is as easy to listen to as her ❤️
You are dynamite at telling the victims story in a kind and respectful way Im sure their families appreciate !!!!xoxo ❤
Cant believe you mentioned the polish brothers murders. I actually am from Luton and just before they were murdered I used to serve them in the town centre charity shop (salvation army) they were the nicest guys and the murders shocked me beyond belief! Keep doing what you do eleanor your a legend! Xxz
Just a personal anecdote 15 mins into the video: When I was 16/17 in the early 2010s I ended up in hospital with horrible abdominal pains that they thought could be appendicitis. They did a blood test and a urine test which didn’t say anything weird but by the end of the day they’d sent two surgeons in to prep me for an appendectomy. I was super scared of surgery so I feigned recovery and they sent me home lol (still don’t know what it was but I didn’t die, maybe period pain but I haven’t had it that bad since or prior to that) So really just pain in that general area seems to be the only condition needed to take your appendix out.
This is such a terrible and foul thing to do but what makes it even worse is that a nurse named Lucy Letby did literally the same thing at the Countess of Chester hospital in north-west England. How many more nurses are out there like this? It’s terrifying.
Has any one ever asked her what was she gaining from harming/ killing babies? Coz o dont get it what kind of attention...seeking person would go this far for it
Its sicking n disgusting and.....
sad. For those lovely sweet. Babies💔
I would imagine similar to the attention a arsonist that works at a fire department gets. It's likely not so much just the attention she can garner but watching everyone running around
People like her cause these problems to look good fixing them. Other nurses were so thankful whenever she volunteered to watch the sick kids, and I'm sure that secretly knowing the cause of the collapse would give her an upper hand in treating it, compared to other doctors who were just super confused. It feels good being a hero/martyr, so some sick minds are willing to go to these horrible extents for attention
i’ve been so excited for a new vid for time
Now to clean to her video woo
SAME! I’ve literally just been waiting haha (lame I know) but she is awesome, as a petite true crime UA-camrs I’m slightly obsessed 😍
I remember when this case came across the pond to the States. I am a nurse and this case is when checking sugar levels became routine part of vital signs. Poor babies, my heart goes out to their families. Eagerly sticking around for part 2
I've never been able to get this case out of my head since I first heard about it. My son spend most of his life in hospital before he passed away when he was 4. The amount of times I had to leave him of the evening just to have a break, and trust the nurses to look after him (they became family to us). The thought of someone harming children who have been placed into their care makes me sick.
The amount that cardiac arrest got mention in this video is just wow like how can they not figure out about why all of the child suddenly getting into cardiac arrest and they don't even suspect Beverly maybe because of how she's being "nice" and "helpful"
Grantham's my hometown! My mum's a nurse and worked at the hospital at the same time as Beverly. Some of her friends were friends with Beverly and she'd babysit their young children.
This case doesn't get enough attention, for the lives she destroyed and the community that she hurt.
Thankyou for covering the case! Cc
eleanor gets more stunning with every video. not an ounce of makeup... just pure, natural beauty.
She is stunning
Agreed
She's still wearing makeup. It's just more subtle than before. She's just not wearing lipstick
@@annaw1298 if you think the only difference between now and 3 years ago is "she's just not wearing lipstick" then you should see an eye doctor.
I love this case, it feels like its not talked about enough
I'm a nurse, when I was a student we had to pick a case to cover, about a major lapse in Nursing and what we now do differently and I chose to cover this case. Thank you for covering the angel of death case.
I’ve heard this story multiple times but this by far is the best way it’s been presented 👏🏼
it's so horrifying to think the people you trust the most with your own and loved one's health can turn out like this
