“I’m not going to lie. It made me smile” in regards to the murderer getting beat up in jail.
Same here, Rachel Same here!
My regret is he lived
How dare they talk about HIS vulnerability what about India's vulnerability he didn't care and took full advantage karma is exactly what he deserves
SAME here brilliant I hate violence but for him he will get a kind of justice in prison, karma!!!
I not only smiled I chuckled... I love it! I hope they are bruising his butt cheeks up really good. I also thought about his OCD and how I hope his cell gets tossed often and that someone goes in there and spits a giant lugie on his bed and or pillow or all over... The more, the better. I hope his showers are especially fun... For the other inmates...
I saw the resemblance between her and the model and wondered if that wasnt the dealio... That poor girl... I cringe... His disrespect to he and her family in the courtroom... Well, I hope he gets extra special food when it time to eat! Like maybe roaches in it.. not to be noticed by him until he has already ingested a substantial amount. I'm so glad that they were able to find her though and that they found him too. Smh... Depraved, gross, waste of our O²!
The situation with you and your friend and what to do if you go out again!? I would t go out with her again. She refused to leave with no thought to either of y'all's safety. And if you had left her and something had happened to her you would have had that on you for the rest of your life. Certainly there are more reasonable friends for you to go out with.
He should of hung from a rope, total waste of skin
I'm 45 years old now, and I sometimes am surprised that I'm still alive. I was reckless in my late teens/early 20s, thought I was invincible. There were 3 instances where I look back now and am SO incredibly thankful that I was ok and wasn't harmed like I could have easily been. It seriously haunts me to this day. Things that a normal person should be able to do! Now I have a 17 year old daughter, and I am SO glad that she's a homebody. It scares me to death thinking about her going off to college, but I have told her about things in my past so hopefully she has learned from my mistakes. I'm so incredibly sad for India, she absolutely would have made this world a better place 😢 ❤
People rarely learn like that,sad part is that you have to through bad things to understand how world works 😔 hopefully your daughter will be careful and drink up your words like a sponge cause at that age all you care about is having good time which isn't a bad thing but you should always be careful no matter what and that's the truth,getting wasted outside is dangerous..so having atleast a person u can count on when you're heading back and or having troubles..like some sort of a back up plan yeah?
Rest in peace India
Exactly the same here...some of the stupid decisions I made back then. Were lucky.
I absolutely agree. I’m also 45 and I think back to some really stupid things I did and thank God I lived through it. My son is 19 and it freaks me out thinking of him being out in the world.
31 here and I just had my first daughter. I’ve done a significant amount more than my fair share of stupid things. I’ve also done a significant amount of great things too, of course but those things don’t worry me. Regardless, It terrifies me to even think about my daughter ever experiencing a minute fraction of what I’ve done/experienced. I hope I can teach her to be safer and smarter than I’ve been.
omg same here. angels are real. i used to hitch hike too like it was nothing.20 years ago there was no cell phones, gps,Lyft, etc. i have two sons that i worry about but if i had a daughter in college i would be even more nuts with worrry
He definitely attacked her immediately upon entering … there is NO WAY she saw the state of that plastic wrapped apartment and didn’t think to herself RUN NOW.
That’s a great point honestly
Right
That was my first thought. Literally looks like Dexter's kill room. She would've flipped out immediately.
i dont know, in a normal state of mind, for sure but she was not thinking straight unfortunately. Of course I don't believe a word that monster said nonetheless.
@@RachelShannonwhat prison is he in now
Ladies, please, PLEASE hear me. If you go out with friends to party, please stay together. We should be able to drink as much as we want without worrying that something awful will happen, but unfortunately we can’t. There are so many sick bastards like Edward. And let me be clear- in no way am I blaming the victim or her friends. Just be careful out there. My heart is broken for her family and friends.
I agree with everything you said here. It’s annoying, and so unfortunate, but it’s our reality nonetheless
I was once super drunk in a club in a new city with new friends and lost them during the night. I sat down on a sofa alone. A guy came up to me pretending he knew me and telling me if I went outside with him he knew where my friends were. I told him no I didn’t know who he was and wouldn’t go with him. He was very persistent but I remember I kept saying no. A group of other guys saw what was happening and came over to ask what was going on. They asked me if I knew the guy. I said no. The other guy kept up with his persistence that I did and i was just playing a game. Luckily the guys didn’t believe him and stayed with me until my friends found me, but I know for sure something bad would have happened if I had left with the other guy.
Those guys were truly gold, thank gosh
Yeah and what would've happened if the ones who appeared to "save" you were of ill intent also, secret is to have a code with your friends, esp. if you drink too much. Stranger danger matters, even in the case of those appearing to save you!!!!
Their mothers raised them well 👏
@@sharpedge3355 🤣 what if? That's Not what happened. She told HER STORY and you put "save" in quotations. Cuz ALL men are rapists right? 🙄. What you wanted the group of guys 2 harm her? Lol. Sorry 2 disappoint but contrary 2 popular belief MOST MEN are not rapists.
Looking back, my best fiend who I always partied with and I are both lucky to be alive considering all of the stupid and very dangerous situations that we put ourselves in. Like going to random strangers houses when the bars closed just because we didn’t want to stop drinking. So many things could’ve happened to us. It scares me to think about. Although we have some fun memories to look back on.. in the end, it’s just not worth the risk and although most people are genuinely good and don’t want to hurt you.. there’s always one bad seed hiding amongst the many.
Edit: I want to add that I think that they should teach kids beginning in elementary school how to protect themselves.
Me 2 girl my best friend and I did some dumb stuff
Me too. But for fate, there go I.
Ladies... when you go out with friends, activate location sharing between your phones. If someone leaves alone or comes up missing, you have a way to track them.
Edit: Rachel thought of this apparently lol
The Sarah Everard case proves that a woman can be doing everything “right” and still become a victim. The fault is the perpetrator’s, not the victim’s, and the question is not “what can a woman do to avoid being killed?” but rather “what should a man do to avoid killing women?” Some would have men exist in a state of permanent adolescence, absolved of all blame, while women shoulder the entire moral burden of their society.
We don’t have a choice. Yea it would be nice if it was the other way around but it’s not so we have to think ahead and stay vigilant. Sometimes it’s just not enough unfortunately.
I agree 100%! If it were MEN being raped and murdered at the ungodly rate that WOMEN are...it would be ended in NO TIME!!! 🤬
My husband was raise by just his mom and he knew how to treat a woman. That makes a lot of difference, one of my daughters husbands same thing and he is great with my daughter .
I also read a surgery about men. If it’s a man who says to the criminal you did wrong and tells him off it makes more of a impact than women telling him ….. it’s that male ego thing. Most men want to look good with their fellow men. So maybe that’s something to keep in mind when they start out as young boys so this can be prevented. Rip lovely lady and my deepest condolences to her family and friends.
@@paulabrown6840 at the very least, there would be harsher sentences. I cannot tell you how frustrated and angry I am when I hear some rapist gets like a few months behind bars
Exactly. We need to COMPLETELY SWITCH our mindset on this. No blame on women, all blame on men.
My thoughts go out to India and her family. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Rachel,
I wanted to see if you'd be interested in covering my sister's case. The details of her death are absolutely horrific but I think are necessary to talk about to hopefully help others get out of abusive relationships. A huge development has happened recently after no movement in over a decade. Her death certificate was changed from undetermined to homicide and I can discuss with you what happened to get that change done. It's pretty amazing how it went down. Thanks for your consideration.
My late condolences
I'm so sorry for your sister, and you and your family. I hope you can get her story told.
I hope her story can get told.. I’m so sorry for your loss❤️ im sure Rachel would love to get it out there!
Wait, are you Melissa Platt’s sister?
Sorry for your loss!
I love how you talked about how to figure out a plan before you go out with your friends. I do have to say, one night I was out with friends at a bar and some random girl I never met before came up to me and asked me to “pretend I was her girlfriend” so I went along with it while this freaking CREEEPER tried to literally pull her away so we held hands and I grabbed some random guy and told him to help and the creeper got kicked out. Now me and the girl are good friends!
Point being, don’t be so quick to brush off a random girl if she asks for help!
Adding to the discussion of how we can protect ourselves: I've never had any issues asking the guy my friend is staying with to show me his ID. I know it may sound like too much but I honestly think is one of the best things we can do for each other. Whenever I'm in that situation, when I go and say bye to my friend I'll turn around and I'll seriously ask for this person's ID or social media. 100% of the time, they've showed it to me. I've never come across a guy who has said no. And if the time does come where I'll get a no, I'll push my friend to leave with me.
That's actually a smart thing to do. I never even thought of that. Not really intrusive but a good way test a situation.
@@derklavierspieler7491 wtf? Are we in the 17th century? What kind of comment is this?
@@derklavierspieler7491 I have 2 kids with a guy I'm not "married to" and we've spent the night together every night for about 13 years now. Glad I haven't been arrested by the church. 😆😂
This is a great tip/idea. If the man doesn’t have bad intentions then wouldn’t have an issue with this - he would know the state of the world & the fear women have to live in.
When my friends and I went out we had rules: we stick together no matter what. No hooking up with random strangers, not even going to the bathroom by ourselves, no leaving a drink unattended, and not really drinking alot. The DD never drank at all and would make the decision to go and the rest of us had to follow.
I’m sorry, but it is easy to say “she shouldn’t have gotten this drunk, blah, blah, blah…” the saddest thing about this is, she tried to ask for help repeatedly and no one heard or helped her. Like she said, all she wanted to do is go home. It is awful that the bouncer/doorman didn’t offer to find her friends or call someone to help her. If people would only treat others as we would want to be treated the world would be a better place and beautiful souls such as this lovely woman wouldn’t loose their lives. Too many folks are “too busy” to care or too interested in their phones to care about others. Such a shame, and for our own selfishness beautiful souls are lost each day.
I agree 100%, so many failed this girl😔 the cab driver could of took her home and she could of gotten someone to pay or the bouncer could of let her back in.
Seriously! I don’t understand why bouncers are not trained that club/bar safety doesn’t just mean breaking up fights and checking IDs it means helping overserved and vulnerable customers!
But he did help her. He called her a cab and she refused to pre pay and got out of it. So I’m sorry but he can’t be blamed. She holds some of the responsibility for what happened. Nobody can make her take the cab.
As a 20-year-old female university student this case really got to me and what you said at the end really resonated with me. Thank you for bringing awareness to these difficult issues.
26:03 So he feels vulnerable and threatened? Almost like what he put the beautiful, innocent woman through? Damn, that sucks 😔 hope he gets threatened harder. What a vile man.
Yes! I was just thinking, I could go for a True crime story that I haven’t seen 5 different versions of.
I still enjoy the different versions of the same story but I do enjoy the unexpected.
I scroll for so long trying to find a video I haven't seen yet
An awful person takes a young lady’s life savagely and leave to have a meal like nothing happened , then someone comes and blames the victim! I don’t get how people think sometimes! Thanks for covering this case and other lesser known cases and for sharing these precious tips. And please stay safe!
I think he targeted her for all those reasons an mostly cuz he is simply inhuman. Never let your friend out of your sight while having a night out. Back in the day my best friend would stay sober and right by my side and we would take turns doing this for each other Trying to keep both safe from all those nasty inhuman predators.
"Never let your friend out of your sight when night out" is an unreasonable and unrealistic term. Why go out if you have to be looking over your shoulder and that of your friends as well? Why can't women just go out and have fun the way men do and not be a potential murder victim by the men. It sickens and infuriates me when I see such phrases. Why can't society be putting such emphasis on the men not to kill rather than constantly telling women to always be "looking out on each other".
@@sadiyasaleh233 because that’s not reality. Reality is that the world is littered with disgusting , evil people that will commit atrocious crimes. That’s just reality and life. So let’s look out for each other.
@@brunelaronda7189 exactly this point it's reality we need to be cautious
@Sadiyah Saleh
People ALREADY KNOW that this behavior isn't right. It's not like those people are applauded for doing what they do. In most cases even those people know that this behavior is bad, but they simply don't care.
Would you teach kids that talking to strangers and taking candy from them is fine, because if something happens it's not their fault?
Simply unreasonable in today's world.
@@rebel4466
Knowing behavior isn't right but condoning it because society always put emphasis of how men are always above women,and as such they have the right to do what they want. As for the woman, she should just look out for herself. Anyways,I shouldn't judge but I just can't seem to wrap myself around the idea how women should always be cautious even when exercising their giving right. That is not how it is where I come from at all. Men have greater responsibilities towards women right from the households,the society and outside. Women getting brutally murdered by monsters is extremely rare.
Thank you for continuing to cover lesser known cases and not falling into media hype
Second that!! 😃👏
Yes!
I agree!!
Oh "he's not the largest person and very vulnerable" - you mean like the young very vulnerable woman he SA'd and murdered? Kind of hard to have any empathy for him. Even if the other inmates only make threats and mentally torture him with the thoughts of what could happen it's only a small taste of his own medicine and what he put India through. He deserves at least that much in addition to his prison sentence!
I loved your lecture at the end reminding women to take care of themselves and each other and having a plan ahead of time on how to handle different scenarios and sharing locations is such great advice! Thank you adding that. And I agree, women should be able to wear what they want and drink as much as they want without any blame being out on them if something happens. Hopefully one day everyone will be on board and victim blaming will be a thing of the past. The only person to blame are the evil people who commit the violent crimes. Periodttt 🙌
Stay safe and take care of each other out there 💜
My exact thoughts when hearing that. His lawyer saying he’s small and vulnerable is the most ironic thing I’ve ever heard. Like cool, get a taste of your own sick medicine. He deserves it 🤷♀️
My heart aches for the victim, her family and friends. This lovely young lady was the same age as my precious daughter. I just don't get our world today. It would have been so simple for the door man to allow her back inside for her safety. I am sure there are liability issues surrounding this, but sometimes human compassion needs lead our choices. I wish bars/clubs would create a designated area like a friend "lost& found"/ holding room, for situations like this. My heart is so sad, but I am very grateful for your ability to share her story with such grace, dignity and passion.
I think so many of us have been in this exact situation, especially trying to find your friends in clubs that are so huge it’ needs 5 floors, yet has absolutely phone signal. It’s so overwhelming and distressing, particularly when some weird guy is trying to convince you to go home with him. SUCH an important case and the discussion at the end is so helpful and necessary - NEVER rely or assume the guy is not a predator/has a sinister anterior motive,. Thank you Rachel,
She was a college age girl doing what allot of us were doing when we were 21 too. Just out having fun drinking at a club. It's awful what happened to her.
Exactly
I think that taxi cab drivers should be trained to step up when it comes to very vulnerable person in their cab 🚕...just a thought
I live in the same town this happened - absolutely devastating, the ENTIRE town was fucking silent.
I get goosebumps thinking about how many times I’ve walked down that street on nights out. Makes me feel sick.
I went to college with her sister Pia and she was lovely too. Feel absolutely sick to my stomach with this - the fact that I’ve always been to NBs, stayed in the Ibis, absolutely everything she did I have done.
Me and my friends always have a rule. NEVER LEAVE THE CLUB WITHOUT EVERYONE ELSE. Some are smokers, so get separated from non-smokers, different dance floors etc. but the rule is NEVER LEAVE THE PROPERTY.
Sleep Tight India💗
When we used to go out together we all left together. Sometimes we had a few girls in our group and we especially made sure that's what we did. If someone got tipsy and was asked to leave we all left.
I was once not allowed back into a show we were attending and my friends all left as well. I felt so bad, but they weren’t going to leave me behind. They’re a great group, and everyone deserves friends like that.
We had a group like that too. We wouldn't leave anyone behind or let anyone get kicked out alone. We had a girl Leasa who always went out with us. We never left her behind or let anything happen to her. To this day we are still close friends.
"In a statement read to court, the victim's mother Sue Chipchase said her daughter "lit up a room" adding: "The actions of this man mean we have been condemned to a life spent grieving for a child whose potential we shall never see."
So sad for this family. The mother says it all here
I think it's really heartbreaking that this is the first time I'm hearing India's case or even her name, and I live in England. I think it's amazing that you're raising awareness on cases like this as I feel like a lot of young women would benefit from hearing this - I know I could of quite easily have been India as well as most of my friends when we were younger. I know everyone is so quick to blame the victim for living her life, but it could just be the matter of the bouncer being a good Samaritan that India thought she could trust the absolute turd who ended up taking her life, the only person to blame is Edward (but like you have said he knew it was wrong and did it anyway so sadly us ladies protecting ourselves is a quicker fix). Thank you xxx
Me too... never heard of this case!
Same, I’m from England, near Brighton and 5 months after your comment I still hadn’t heard about India’s story. 💔
I’m from Northampton and it honestly rocked our whole town 😢
I love how you share cases That aren’t always largely covered. I always learn new cases from you. Also I 100% agree. Reality is unfortunately different than what should be. We have to protect ourselves.
As always Rachel you show the utmost respect for the victim, for those who don't, think of it this way, how would you feel if that was a member of your family. Compassion cost nothing. Thank you for another great video xxxxx
Here’s a crazy story that has stuck with me over the years that I thought fit perfectly into what you say at the end…
In the early 2000’s I went to The Anger Management (Eminem, Ludacris, Xhibit, ect) concert in Camden, NJ with my BFF of 10+ yrs, and 5 other people. We drove up from Delaware so it was about an hour/ hour and a 1/2 drive. We got smashed the whole way there. Smoking weed and drinking a 5th of Hennessy (Gina and myself). So when we got there we had snuck another big bottle of some kind of liquor in that me and her kept drinking. Trying to make a long story short, after 3 attempts of sneaking upfront to see Ludacris we both got kicked out. The Tweeter Center is a huge outside stage on a huge lot of land. All I remember is getting kicked out and the next thing I remember is I’m by myself walking the streets of Camden, ghetto a$$ murder city. I remember going into different bars, having a good time drinking with strangers for about 3 hrs. MIRACULOUSLY I ended up back in the parking lot of the concert at the exact time the show was letting out. I ran into my friends as they were walking to the car. My BFF who I got separated from ended up back in the concert while I was walking around Camden by myself for hours. I still to this day am amazed that nothing happened to me!! It could have so easily ended different. I wish I could say after that I stopped being so reckless but that wouldn’t happen for another 6,7 yrs after that. I was 22 the end of 02’, i’m 41 now and haven’t drank in over 10 yrs. That was a blurry night i’ll never forget!! RIP India🙏🏽
Girl you are lucky! Camden was once rated the most dangerous City in the country. I’m from Philly, which is bad enough, but even I’m afraid of going there! I got lost there once by turning onto the bridge accidentally & I panicked. Glad you made it outta there! I cringe at the unsafe, crazy shit I did back in my late teens/early twenties!
Rachel, I really appreciate what you had to say at the end of this heartbreaking story. It’s absolutely NOT the fault of the friends or victim, it is only the fault of the predator. I also think you have an excellent point about making a plan with your friends before you go out. I’d add to it that there should be an agreement as to the time you’re all leaving, & that no matter what, you’re all leaving together. If there’s a guy either you or a friend is interested in… that’s what phone numbers or Facebook is for. Maybe even take turns being the “designated driver” even if you aren’t driving, just to ensure that at least one person in your group is always fully aware. I really liked what you said about the people who argue against these safety measures “because we shouldn’t have to!” Absolutely right, we shouldn’t have to worry about predators, unfortunately Nirvana is only the name of a band… here in the real world… take as much of your protection into your own hands as you can! Anyway, you did a great job on this story.
Thanks for these extra tips, great ideas!
I agree with you. When my daughters were young I told them phone me no matter what. I don’t care how drunk you r you phone me at any time, I also drove many people home and I always walked them to the door got them inside and then left, I had old ice cream containers with lids,,,, for everyone in case someone vomited.,,,,,,,,,,,, I told my girls never ever go for a ride home with anyone that was drinking. And today they r in their 30s and healthy and happy. And safe. Even today I have told them to always phone me if they need someone. Driving or talking ect ect.
Video starts at 4:06. Side note, if you skip to that: No negative comments about the victim.
The moral of the story, do not leave someone by themselves. Before you go out, state a plan. Tell them “listen, when we go out, everyone has to be in agreement, no one leaves by themselves or with a stranger. If you decide to stay you have to give us your location from your cell where we can track you. Also give us the name and description of the person you are with if you can get or take a pic of the person and license plate number that is good also.” In fact before you go out allow your friends to track you from the cell phone.
Going out rules…
1. Designated driver or Uber/taxi/ride
2. Code word for emergency situation - when the word is called - exit immediately- no questions asked
3. Code word for getting uncomfortable and I want to leave ;no questions asked)
4. Share my location with friend; family; parent…. Minimum- that way multiple people can gps you-
5. Talk- tell at least two or three people where your going; who’s going - all important information
These are great tips!! Thanks for sharing
YAS! I just found this channel not long ago and started watching, and it’s officially become one of my new favorites….so perfect that I got home from work JUST in time for this video to be posted 😍
I am a loyal subscriber and watcher because you respect thr victim while also differentiating between what we can learn to stay safe in the future from these cases and just plain being rude and disrespectful. Thank you for being you!
You look extra beautiful today 😍
Also, I'm so saddened by all the TrueCrime videos I'm watching lately and I need to take breaks in between to cry but also snap out of it. I also get super paranoid because look at all the stories of those who we are SUPPOSED to trust most, killing their "loved" ones! It's absolutely horrendous 💔 I just wish I could save every victim 😔🙏🏻❤
No one deserves to have their life taken! I don’t care what they do for a living, it’s not justified. R.I.P. beautiful ❤️
Hi Rachel, you're exceedingly compassionate and a forceful voice for India. You safeguarded her dignity in your narration. First video I've seen of yours- Liked and subscribed immediately after. Happy Holidays to all.
You know what i love most about your channel? THAT YOU ARE SO REAL!! I love it that you say dont like it, dont watch!! Lol. I know more people want to say that and dont because they are scared to lose subs BUT I LOVE that you are just so raw and real!! STAY THAT WAY! STAY SAYING YOUR OPINIONS, STAY SAYING WHAT U THINK, AND STAY SAYING WHAT THE HELL THE REAL DEAL IS! Thats WHY we watch these channels!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Rachel, keep sharing your narrative. You’re a wise young woman. It’s important. Stay safe !❤️
Great message, Rachel! So true and inspiring, couldn't have said it better. Only rely on yourself and protect yourself at all times, no matter how much fun you're having. It's hard sometimes but it may keep you alive.
Your rant was fantastic, and I’m absolutely here for it. I agree 100% ✊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Rachel, you are too real. I love that you have been so transparent about your feelings on cases like this. I can appreciate your feedback and advice to women on the importance of keeping ourselves safe.
I’m upset with everyone in that case because I feel like everyone could’ve done just a little bit more to ensure her safety and they dropped the ball, but I do not blame anyone except for that depraved man for what he has done to her.
Just starting the video BUT your new hair looks AMAZING on you and extremely flattering!
Your hair is looking fly! Thank you for all the content you put out! One of my favorite true crime UA-camrs
Love your soothing quiet voice and your content ❤️ keep up the great work Rach xx
I'm loving your hair!!! That color is so pretty!! 💜 ❤️
Just wanted to say I love and respect you! I’m so glad you make it clear That negative comments about the victim aren’t helpful or acceptable!
I totally understand where you’re coming from with the advice at the end of the video. Although we can’t control predators, we can take steps to enhance our safety 💖
You're wise beyond your years. Great advice & so true. R.I.P. INDIA 🌹
Your comment on pre planning is great advice. Life is full of risk, it's lessening the risk that can make all the difference. Whatever you do, if you choose to walk the tightrope have some safety measures in place. I'm a 66yo bloke and sadly there are too many guys out there that are complete animals. Enjoy your life but always take a bit of care for yourself and your friends. Very sad that this happens too often.
A video from Rachel.... THANK YOU. It's not been a good day but I love your videos! 💕
Still have to say love the hair colour 🦋🌼 🇦🇺
Haha thank you!
Loved the ending! You are 100% correct!
PROTECT YOURSELVES. Great message !!!
Please heed it young yins x
I loved your advice on the end it’s so helpful
I respect your work Rachael 🧐
It's stories like this one that make me want to stay home forever. Be safe, peeps, both boys and girls. ❤️ And if you see something sketchy, ask, speak out, make a phonecall for someone, get a hold of their friend/parent/partner, don't hesitate. You might save a life.
ALWAYS share your location with at least one person on a night out.
I really wish I had a friend like Rachel she is amazing and so kind hearted
This is such a sad case. I’m just catching up on all your videos. I love how you said protect yourself. You can not always depend on others. It’s exactly how I feel. You never know what is going to happen so worry about you first.
Great advice you gave!
ugh, I was born the same year as her. it is horrifying to know people like this man exist.
Big deal why this comment the same year she was born so
Great job and you are an awesome host .
Thanks, have a wonderful day.
Rachel, youre very wise for your are, i loved what u said at the end, iam sure u saved someone today good work♥
Loved the little speech and lesson at the end.
Great video and excellent advice
Love your videos!! And I love you saying no negative comments about the victims!!!!
I am one minute in (you were on my recommended) and I immediately subscribed because of your insistence on no negative comments about the victim! Thank you for that! Now on with the video!
EDIT: my girlfriends and I had a pact in place that we followed every time we went out. We decided what time we were going to call it a night, stayed together and left together. We handled meeting guys with the hard and fast rule that if he was interesting and interested that night, exchange numbers. If it is a meant to be date, they will still be interested the next day. That also gave us time to evaluate whether WE were still interested and not put ourselves in the position of being alone with a guy we just met. It worked well for us.
i know it’s not super new but i love the new hair!!
Thank you, dear Rachel. You are just amazing. I agree with every word you said.
I agree with you on everything! You bring up thoughts and points that I myself didn’t want to give thought to. But it’s true. You’re right
Unfortunately they are things that no one should even have to think of, but it’s the reality of the world we live in
@@RachelShannon I have definitely made comments about friends not leaving each other at bars. But they are adults and will make their own choices. So at the end of the day you’re right- you have to protect yourself and worry about you.
Agreed. That’s exactly how I feel. Not everyone has their own or anyone else’s safety in mind when going on, so it’s really up to you to keep yourself safe at the end of the day
I love that you won’t tolerate people badmouthing the victim! That should NEVER HAPPEN!!! I don’t understand people who do that! It is cruel and unnecessary! Thank you for respect and care for each and every victim.♥️🙏♥️
I completely agree that those statements are not helpful. You are 100% correct about everything! Great advice to make a plan and set expectations beforehand! Always be prepared as much as you can be! Keep preaching the good word! 🥰
Omg I’m obsessed with your hair !🥰
Victim blaming/shaming is never ever ok or justified. My heart is very heavy for India, her family and friends. A night of fun turned into a nightmare. Please ladies keep eyes on other ladies. Friends and strangers alike, you never know when a random girl may be in trouble and need help. Be safe out there. ❤🙏🏻
Thank you for this comment. Agreed 100%
This is where I think there has to be change. The taxi driver getting paid. I don’t know what to say about that, The bar pay for it? Who? Or maybe a bar has a driver that would drive people home might be a better idea. Male driver for male customers and female for female customers??? So many times we hear the young lady got left by her friends. So there has to be a backup plan
@@sharonbrown6595 our local bar has a bus that drives anyone who wants a ride home to their house. It's run by volunteers.
@@tazhienunurbusinezz1703 now that’s what I am thinking is a darn good idea. I like that. I would never say a woman can’t drink or get drunk I jusf want them safe when they start to go home.
@@sharonbrown6595 not only that but the side bonus of less drunks on the roads.
Thoughts and prayers to the family❤🙏
Your hair looks so vibrant💖
Omg she literally lived in the same area as me , it was such a scary time when this happened but hope for family are doing okay ❤️
Same area as me too 😔
I love the solution you suggest of making a plan before hand about expectations of how the night will go.
Hi, I hadn't been to your channel in a whi don't know in a while but now that I'm back and looking at your new videos love them as usual. Also guy bolt. Also gotta say I love your hair. It's really Looks nice with your complexion and it's adorable
you're correct! love your channel
Thank you for saying this- as someone who was victimized by a sociopath, I go off on ppl in comments saying such horrible things. It was an older video, but ppl were saying what a bad mom the girl who was murdered by her step dad was.
When you’re married to someone like this, you doubt your reality. They love bomb you, then discard you so many times, all you see is that you’re causing the problems. Bc they’re so good at manipulating. And you stop trusting your gut.
A woman who’s daughter was murdered is living the rest of her life w such immense regret & constantly wondering what if. To judge her without ever being in her shoes really ticks me off. She was a victim also.
Thank you, Rachel you are absolutely right ..people should not make negative comments or judgements about people whose lives were taken
A very sad story well told Rachel. sound advice at the end as well. TY
aw i love your hair it suits you so well!
Along with the great ideas for staying safe as possible, I have a routine I use 100% of the time when staying alone in a hotel, but wanting to leave to have dinner. On the hotel writing pads, I write on the top page in very heavy writing what time I'm leaving, where I'm going, and how I'm getting there. I estimate time of return earlier than I plan so ppl won't think I'll just be later. I leave my cell # with 2 ppl with my 360. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but life is a lot of work. Before I leave, I tear off the top page, and the 2nd page will have all my info without it being visible to anyone. Detectives know to look to see if anyone wrote on a piece of paper and left a print on the page left behind. You have a well laid out itinerary for police to know where to begin.
Lol
Excellent suggestion about sharing your location with your friends. My best friend and I had a rule that if one of us called three times in a row, you had to answer (because, let’s face it, there are times when you just don’t want to answer your phone. But three times meant (and we’re moms now but it still means) “I need you”!
Great hair Rachel! 🤘🏼
Your definitely my fav youtuber, i smiled too
I’m loving your hair!
Your lip color, hair color and skin is *chefs kiss* 🔥 ❤️
I think of the situations I put myself in 15 years ago before I listened to true crime videos and I am SO grateful I am still alive. I went out with five brothers, all ' looking out for me' and I ended up smashed and sitting on my car with a total stranger talking about owls until I so ered up. I was very lucky he was wonderful.
I can’t believe you just had to explain “no negative comments towards the victim”. Disgusting.
It’s unfortunate how much I have to emphasize that sometimes 😕
So sad you have to make statements like this- thanks for all you do and all your healed work!! Thanks for sharing these stories!!
Of course! It’s sad knowing that I have to make these statements as well, but that’s just how some people are unfortunately :/
If her family does see comments on these videos, im so sorry for the world's loss and she is already a hero in my eyes. Paramedics and nurses are my fave super heros. They look after us at our worst and take the crap that comes with it.
Thank you Rachel love from🇨🇦
I went to school with India, her story still hits hard and feel for the family & friends
