Recently, I ran into a situation where I witnessed a child being hit in a park by his mother in a way that deeply concerned me. I turned to my boyfriend and told him that I didn't feel right about that. He told me that he didn't like it either, but there was nothing we could do.
I remembered what you said about risking to offend, despite me having horrible anxiety about bothering people and causing trouble for them. I told him there was absolutely something that we could do. My boyfriend and I called the police and tailed this mother and child to provide updates on their location while we were on the phone. The police arrived to speak to the mother while she was at a bus stop waiting for the bus, and her immediate reaction to seeing them was to get up, grab her kid, and try to run.
I do not know what happened in the end, but that reaction alone told me that I did the right thing that day. The lessons you provide us are powerful. Thank you for your content, Emma.
You're great citizens. We need more of your kind.
Good for you ❤
Gd on u alot of ppl wouldnt have the guts to do that def something weird goin on might even been a kidnap victim? Why run?
Parents shouldn't hit kids period. Thank you for stepping in
Thank you for trying to help that child. If no one helps, no one is rescued.
The world definitely needs more Williams.
William if you are reading this … you are a true hero … the world needs more people like you
This is one HORRIFIC case. I'm so terribly sorry for the babies that lost their lives to this maniac and I am so glad that the little boy from the theater saved himself. Why his earlier crimes were so dismissed is beyond belief.
William stoped a lot more heartache 😮 well done sir!
On a genuinely serious note could you consider doing a kid friendly lesson/video with advice on how to escape stuff like this because it scares the shit out of me with my little ones 😢
William is the man👏
I hope the guy who caught him got some recognition. Sounds like he did an amazing job!!
It is such a gross insult to see that wikipedia states he only had 3 victims (between sept-nov 1989). He had so many other survivors of his abhorrent actions basically get no justice for what he did to them.
Never trust Wiki. Its never correct. Hence why many True Crime youtubers get it wrong. Em x
It’s not just the consistency we come for Emma it’s the deep dives into the minds, surrounding circumstances of the crimes, history, a better understanding of the why, lessons in what can and does happen and how to deal with things like abductions and the rest of the messed up things people do, your thoughts as a human being combined with the experience in the field you specialise in and the unique way you present the cases you cover.
Keeps me coming back again and again and again.
You’re like a master chef with what you do. All the ingredients for some great content. Keep it coming 🙏 I do love tuning in twice a week (religiously) to hear from you.
This monster!!! I'm sickened..wish this freak was tortured by the parents. How this think g9t away with this behaviour so long. Yes he is satin .poor little boys and girls it's scary to think what's out there.
Agreed- I often think about how skilfully Emma manages to structure the narrative so that we can gain a deeper understanding of the predator/ crime, as opposed to the linear narrative which most presenters use which doesn’t always allow for such a thorough deep dive!
Emma's knowledge and ability to communicate and/or teach psychology as it applies to offenders,their families and victims and their families is always interesting and spot on. I have yet to truly disagree with any of her thoughts and opinions, and only rarely would like to add a bit or offer a parallel opinion.
@@ChopBassMan Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (Except for the likes of Julian Assange and the rest of them... Gandhi, John Lennon, Malcom x, Jesus. The ones who come and tell us that we could be living in peace love and harmony. Or those who oppose the culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced illusion that we are being fed and have been fed for a very long time...)
I am not always in agreement with Emma on some of her more “extreme” views, and that’s okay I think. I don’t think it would be a great day if everyone was identical, in thought, manner and behaviour or looks.
I do like her use of humour like the sarcasm and alike, it puts the sheer ridiculousness of some of the events, into a context that is comprehensible, yet compassionate toward the subject matter at hand?
I think she captures the frustration of the events as they unfold, makes a mockery of them and does it in as tasteful a manner as is possible.
Reminding everyone that we can all do better? We do not have to be a species with amnesia. Endlessly repeating the short comings of those before us.
But some of the things that have been put out there haha. I don’t know how I would judge if I were asked personally and I don’t know if I could in most cases... like what to do with society’s failures... not always of the same opinion.
I have not seen or experienced her experiences though.
Maybe I would be less on the merciful side in some cases if I had seen or maybe more merciful?
I don’t know.
I don’t have a channel covering this kind of thing haha.
I don’t know if I am even of the same opinion when it comes to things like “society’s standards”, or what is substandard, in regards to the humans and their behaviour that’s been studied.
I don’t think the gauge or measure we use is exactly correct though.
The ideas of things like “me” or “you” are just a culturally sanctioned and linguistically reinforced illusion.
You can only say what it isn’t? If you see what I mean?
The word water... isn’t water.
The word water cannot get you wet. You can’t drink it. Or wash your hands with it.
Our language falls short of the ability to translate experience adequately a massive amount of the time.
“Half the time you think you are thinking, you’re actually listening.”
Can I really trust King James to translate the bible? Do I really need a middle man to link with “The Creator”?
she is so far beyond any of these other stupid makeup mukbang youtubers who recite wikipdia and disrespect victims
We definitely need more Williams in this world.
I once read a crime article, where upon interviewing a victim (lucky enough to be saved) she said never ever let them take you in a car, fight to the death there and then, dont let them take you. I totally believe that, sometimes there are worse things than death.
My dad used to tell me and my sisters never let them take you to a second location that’s where you die . There is a reason they need the second location they can’t do what they’re planning where they grab you so make it impossible to move you .
I can't believe how much this monster got away with, horrific 😥
Your energy and emotions during these cases always mirror exactly how they make me feel! Thank god for William, what a genuine hero!
I really feel like his insistence on hanging was a way to re-live what he did and likely a turn on for him. Thanks for covering this. Great content.
Yeah, I agree.
He shouldv been left to rot in jail why should he get to choose his fate he denied those poor babies..hope hes in eternal torture somewhere
Thank you em. Wherever you are in the world, hug your kids and loved ones ❤
This disgusting excuse of a human makes my skin crawl with rage when I hear his name! My heart breaks already knowing what is coming. Great choice again Emma x
We need more people like William. 💕
I read "When the monster comes out of the closet" just recently, it was Westley's own words. Chilling, scary, horrifying, sad and something you can't wrap your mind around. I never got the feeling he was ever sorry except he knew there was something wrong with himself. But he just got worse and worse. There was quite a few kids he molested time and time again and I often wonder what they remember? Have they ever spoken out? I can't find anything but if they ever read his horrifying words and read the words and awful things done to them. How did they feel? I mean one can only imagine but still how terrifying for them. My thoughts go out to those kids, now adults. Let me warn you that book with keep you up and night and it's just hard to get through it knowing it's true and the sick way he described a three year old as sexy. Ugh ... I'm just glad he's long gone. So much more I have to say but it would not be readable and it would be a book in itself.
Almost certain that his surviving victims are fighting PTSD every moment of their lives. I devoutly hope they are being treated or have been treated with EMDR.
@@bobtaylor170 What's EDMR I went through abuse from age 7 to 12 its a constant struggle. I did well till after college and my marriage fell apart my career was ruined after 5 years. It took years for it to hit me not till after trying to have my own kids did I realise how vulnerable I was. Tbh o equate that abuse with murder as they ruin the adult the child would've been. Its not an easy existence and the sentences they get make me feel like nobody gets what this does to person. I get therapy and I've good days and bad but I've definitely not achieved what I could've if that hadn't happened.
@@cherryshortstak8034 😪🙏
The mom who didn’t press charges for fear of trauma to her molested children taught her children the wrong lesson. Running away from evil, like running from dogs, only makes it worse. Always face it.
Because of you Emma, I’m so much aware of my surroundings. Even more so when it come to children.
I was walking down a crowded street last week and a man was carry a 3yr old child she looked distressed and was shouting for her mother. Not one person batted an eye, they just let him carry on with this child in clear distress.
My gut instinct was there something wrong here. I turned round and followed them. I heard him say to her, “I’m taking you to your mother”. So I kept following them, her mother was not around she was no where to be seen. He then took pictures of her which I found weird. She didn’t call his name she didn’t seem to act like she new this man.
My instinct was don’t leave that child so I kept following them and phoned the police.
The police arrived fortunately shortly after the call all the time I’m in close proximity watching him with her. The police came and spoke to him.
And you know what they arrested him and called her parents.
I wouldn’t like too have to think what that creep had in mind for her.
Thank you for doing this!! You saved this little girls life xx
Hi, was this incident in USA? I’m from U.K. Thankyou for saving this child x
@@marlenerichardson4429 Hi Marlene it was in the UK. 🙏
Stevie, you're the reason that child is still alive. There's no doubt about that.
Thing is, from what I've learned, when the sickos are desperate enough to be attempting to abduct a child in broad daylight, with hundreds of people around, i believe that points to them being already very prolific. Because he's potentiality already harmed children within his family or circle and possibly has already been caught.
He is experiencing extreme cravings, just like an addict craving their drugs.
The cravings are not able to be pushed to the side any longer and he would be literally unable to think about anything else.
This would've been very uncomfortable mentally and would have usurped all other logical thoughts about needing to make a plan in order to maximise the chance of getting a victim without getting caught.
And so for that reason, he simply couldn't stop himself from doing what he did and committing an extremely risky and disorganised crime. The compulsion caused unfathomable desperation.
Luckily that desperation meant the child you saved was being taken in such a way that rescue was even possible.
That's my opinion on him. Did you find out anything about what happened to him afterwards? Or who he was or what his past crimes were?
It's either that, or he's suffering from some severe mental health issues similar to the scumbag who abducted Polly Klaas.
I'm so so glad that little child experienced something that he likely will be able to recover from very quickly and won't suffer any lasting trauma thanks to you stevie, you absolutely wonderful woman! You are a very rare breed, sadly. You shouldn't be being congratulated, it should be just what everyone would've done but it's sadly just not the case. Most people are not interested in helping others and it's definitely getting worse. Many are cold and heartless and this society is literally perfect for producing such people, narcissism and such traits are definitely on the increase.
Again thank you stevie, 💐 🥉 ♥ love from kerry in England ♥
@@73kdt Yes a big thank you to you Stevie for being so vigilant and following your gut instinct. I do exactly the same when I see children, especially young children seemingly alone. These vile monsters should all be rounded up and caged forever. I am sorry, but I am all for human rights blah blah blah but when it comes to kiddies, NO, that is a step way too far. Lock them up for good.
That’s like the little girl who almost got abducted from a department store (maybe a Walmart). As soon as the man snatched her she started kicking, punching & screaming. She literally became too much for that man to handle so he ended up dropping her & taking off. Plus w her screaming like she was it didn’t take long for her mom & other customers/employees to realize what was going on.
The local news in her area interviewed her about the experience & asked her what made the man let her go - She replied that her parents taught her if anyone ever tries to grab/take you, then you need to make as much noise as you can scream you aren’t my parent and help, you kick, punch slap scratch bite etc anything you can to make it as difficult for the person to hold onto you.
And when the news called her a hero and what she did was brave - her response was something like “it was scary but every kid should learn what to do in case it happens to them. Never thought it could happen to me and it did” those aren’t her exact words but that was the over all idea
....and we wonder why folk take the Law into their own hands!!! 👏👏👏
I read his diary & quite honestly I wish I could scrub it all from my brain... It has haunted me since. The most frustrating thing about this case is how many times his sick & troubling criminal actions got him into trouble. But, not ever enough trouble to deter him from continuing. It was abundantly clear that he was a predator & his crimes were escalating in severity. Those boys didn't have to die. He should've been institutionalized safely away from anybody he could victimize very early on.
Emma you’re a genius in this field! They are all truly shockingly vile and upsetting. Yet you deliver them in such a compassionate and empathic way. THAT’S why we all return. Well explained once again Em. Thank you! ❤
Another splendid, deep dive 👏 It is extremely perplexing so many judges make poor decisions. Just like Jeffery Dahmer, a judge “didn’t want to ruin” his life by sentencing him as he should have been. Gave him 1 year with work release. Think of all the lives that could have been spared if he’d only been sentenced appropriately. Despicable!!
My sister has lived in Vancouver WA. since 1964. During the time I'd been in that park, cuz it was a few blocks away from my sister's house. I freaked out, when we heard about this horrific crime. We kept our children closer than ever. We lived in La Center. About 25 kilometers north. Thank you for covering this case. It's to close to home. ❤✌
My husband is the "step dad" to our boys but the bio dad has been gone since,...forever, and that is the only dad they will ever want and need. If my husband had heard such a thing about our boys or our little girl we recently had together, he would have done the same thing but he probably would have killed him honestly. That's what a REAL parent is supposed to do. Protect that child AT ALL COSTS. Good on this step dad who hunted this p.o.s. down like the dog he was.
....and actually that's insulting to dogs so I take that back.
These cases would make you never want to take your eyes off your kids even for a second. Terrifying that these predators lurk out there. There isn’t a (legal) punishment good enough for these monsters.
I remember watching an interview with the officer who worked this case.
That interview has stayed with me because of how utterly broken that poor police officer was, how haunted he was, after working this case.
I live quite near where he was being held on death row. And it creeped me out to be within such close proximity to this beast.
Thank God the boy at the theater fought like he did! I always told my kids if somebody ever tries to grab & take you you fight like hell. You fight like a wild cat.
I was talking to a friends pre-teen girls about sex attacks I experienced as a young girl and I said to fight. My friend told her daughters to comply. I couldn’t believe she thought they would rape and not kill.
Im always torn with this idea because some men rape and dont kill I worry that if I tell my daughter to fight it could lead to murder
You need to react based off the circumstances you’re in saying to do one or the other isn’t really realistic, neither one or the other will end in the same result .
Emma your passion and genuine love for children and for safeguarding them means a lot to me makes me look forward to your content. I usually always learn something more from you even if I'm familiar with a case
I agree 💯 with you she's absolutely amazing.
William is my hero, every dad and step dad should take notes.
Wow! Watching Dahmer on Netflix and Emma's voice is going through my head 'Don't be afraid to offend!
😅same I’ve just finished the last episode!!
His neighbour wasn't afraid to offend just wasn't listened to
I always chuckle when you say you release content-religiously Wednesday and Sunday because those are the days I “had” to go to church growing up😂😂😂😂😂
Same 😂
Another brilliant and informative video, thank you Emma. A request, can you PLEASE cover Ian Watkins? I've not seen a decent crime channel cover this yet and think you'd be perfect to give the case the respect it deserves.
Dreading done a half decent one @moo
Agree. Please cover this Emma x
Don't know if you've seen it but she's doing this case on sunday
Emma you are amazing!!
I did not know about this case until today. Horrific!!
I am at a loss with this case, the failings of law enforcement is astonishing & we hear it time & time again. I have a 7yr old child and I always want to teach how to be careful, not comply etc but it is such a fine line as I don't want them to be scared of the world as it can be amazing. Has always been a scary time to be a parent but as we hear about these more it makes it that much scarier 😥as always you told a rather horrendous case very well and did the victims proud x
This guy is just one example of why I said the dad who killed his son's abuser was spot on and why I'd do the same. The justice system let him off time and time again to keep hurting kids, free to escalate his horrific behaviors. Too many predators/abusers get the same light treatment, and kids pay the price because our courts do not value children's safety and well-being enough.
Has to be one of the, if not the worst child predator that ever existed.
Thank you, Emma, for continuous excellent reporting and educating! You are the best! 🙏💖
@emmakenny.
I've just been watching obsessions : dark desires and came across the forgotten serial killer Stephen Peter Morin/Moran The Chameleon . Now; that has a Kenny deep dive written all over it! He was expected of murdering 47 women and 4 men from 1969 untill 1981, although he was only charged with 3 or 4 . He had a terrible relationship with his Mother, and they believe murdered the women who reminded him of her. He would change identities from men's death certificates and had many disguises.He was executed in 1985. I've never heard of him and doubt many others have as there is'nt much on here regarding documentries. It would be great if you would do an episode on him please! x
I knew you couldn't resist this sick twist even though these particular types of monsters aren't your cup of tea. I'm looking forward to getting your articulate story telling ability on this Demon.
Wonderfully done, Emma, I had only caught a couple doc's on him and they didn't really say alot ,thanks for the deep dive x
I remember the park incident. My Ma was terrified because I and my brother were the same age, in Central Washington. I’m a 41 yea old father now and still think of them often.
I've heard about this guy before and what a monster he is... Great deep-dive Emma!
Thanks Emma for the amazing video as always ❤️
Well done young man for managing to get away and well done dad ☺️ for apprehending him . Rest in peace to the other victim / victims
I love Emma! She always have the best cases I haven't ever heard of.
I had not heard of him. Thank you for covering. Love you!
I love that when you cover these cases, no matter how well known they are, I still learn heaps more that I hadn’t known! Thank You.
Question: do people think that the “Polly Klaus” law would have meant that he was incarcerated before he could start killing, or would he have still wiggled his way out of any form of harsh sentencing? I’m not sure which way I lean with this, there is the issue that the US justice system seems to sometimes (or perhaps often) drop the ball as far as allowing psychopathic predators freedom, only to have them go out an perpetrate more (and often worse) crimes!
Thanks for another awesome video! Love to you Emma!!
Awww brilliant wanted to know more about this killer as there isnt alot of coverage online. Thanks Emma!
I’ve never heard of this case
HI EMMA always great to see and hear you💟
Emma your awesome you go deep in these cases I learn so much and I love the passion for the kids and their families all of these cases is awesome thanks for all you do
I think he was scared to be in prison with men who do not look kindly on child rapists n murderers!
Thank you Emma xx
❤❤ Emma you are by far one of my favorite creators ❤❤
Thanks for yet another interesting video, Emma 👍 I had never heard of this case before tonight. I'm glad you didn't include detailed extracts from the diaries though to be honest. I think I'd have found that difficult to take in
Love the deep dives into these deeply damaged human beings. A better understanding of such individuals can only help us to intervene in some cases earlier and so prevent things from happening. This is the hope anyway. Thank you Emma
DO NOT COMPLY!!!
Fantastic episode not heard of this one
educational how to keep our children safe thank you Emma Kenny
you have a great sense of the absurd in your sense of humour emma even though these stories are certintley not funny u make me laugh which helps with the horror of all these terrible things
New to this channel. Very well delivered and covered in a very professional way
Love all your vids em x I’ve followed you since day 1 😜x
I have never known someone to be able to demonstrate the state of these predators minds, but also show realistic reactions to these behaviors. Literally binge watching all your videos, they are amazing
Heartbreaking 💔
Emma,
Would you ever consider producing some sort of educational video or even tour, teaching our children of all ages how to protect themselves and how we as parents can protect them?
I think it would be absolutely priceless and could potentially save so many of our babies harm. I would 100% attend or insist that my children are educated.
Many thanks Emma, much love always xxx
This comment is a great idea … this would be so valuable … I would definitely make my kids watch it or go to the live talk. Emma would be able to talk to kids and reach them in an age appropriate way because of her profession but in a way of letting them know how they can keep themselves safe. It could be also be rolled out in schools .. would be fantastic
Can you imagine the guilt that Lee's brother will have for the rest of his life. It was not his fault and I wish him peace.
I've studied this one pretty thoroughly. I'm looking forward to what you have to add to my knowledge.
I started watching this, but I just couldn't carry on. Far too upsetting. I will see you on another video!
So, I hadn't seen this video yet, but just stumbled over the killing of Seth Williams. I missed a few minutes of it here and there, but I can see the intelligence and sincerity in you Emma. Okay, I'm wondering in and out and doing things, UA-cam bumped me to another of your vids. The Petit Family Massacre (there's actually a very good documentary on that too), you're wearing a shirt, "I am not a Conspiracy Theorist". That's awesome, I had to subscribe. Love it. Look forward to viewing more.
I thought this was about another case when three young boys disappeared together. I'm stunned at the amount of child murders. Shame on me. Thank you again Emma for highlighting this.
Oh him. Lookin forward to this one Emma.
Don’t you just LOVE it when they find Jesus when they in a 6x6 for life. 😂😂😂😂
william saved so much more kids from being killed you sir are a hero
I just wanna say wow. Huge huuuuge respect for deep diving the darkness. ❤❤
Emma! Please talk about Takoda collins his story needs to be heard!!! New sub here!!!
Yes. Awful. Just awful.
I argee Poor Takoda's case really affected me What happened to him was monstrous .
I'm shocked that a mother would let a 6 Yr old is allowed to go to the toilet by his/her
My son is 13 and I still dont let him go into public toilets by himself ...
I am so aware of the darkness around our babies
Thank you. Awesome 👍
Emma,I have a request also - I am currently watching an episode of Murder Maps on the serial killer John Christie. I don't know if you might be interested, but it would be great to hear your thoughts and opinions on this most disturbing case. The Murder Maps show covers his crimes really well,but is lacking a bit on the psychological side of things.
A review type episode would be pretty cool for something like this
You're my fav true crime creator ❤🏴
WOW Emma you make Wednesday and Sunday evening so entertaining
God this one knocked me sick! 🤢 so many enablers in this story.
Hi Emma I have watched your channel for along time and never commented, what I would like to say is you do an excellent job with each story you go more in-depth and get everything about that person out there and I would like to thankyou.......Mary from 🇨🇦 💜💜💜
I can't believe I'm telling this publicly, but around 1980, when I was in the 8th grade, I saw this monster face to face. He lived in a city just up the road from the city of Prosser, very near Benton City.
When I saw his face on Reader's Digest some years later, I knew exactly who he was as soon as II saw the photo in the publication.
My friend and I were taking a back road to both of our sisters homes, when a car pulled over to where we were. Somehow the way he was driving split she and I apart and he turned the car so that he was facing the road rather than the direction of the path she and I were headed on. I remeber the car was fairly loud and fast and I think we just got out of thecway. He called us both over to the car, I was on the passenger side, she was on the driver's side. We both went toward the open windows on a sunny day near the end of that 8th grade year. It would have been a Thurday bc I took piano lessons down the road from my sister's house every Thursday - my friend came with me often. She got close enough to see before I did and backed away. When I got to the passenger side, he had an erection and exposed himself to both of us, like the girls in Benton City. He didn't ask us to get into the car that I recall, but I have a fairly good photographic memory and that is a face embedded in my brain forever. I knew he was a little older than us and thought/ prayed he was a Senior and hoped he would be gone by the time we entered 9th grade. I thought he went to PHS at the time, again I prayed and prayed he would be gone when we started high school that fall.
I spent my first days just horrified that I would see him or that he would see me. I watched for a couple of years relieved by 1984 when we graduated.
On the day of the incident, it was fairly hot but we ran the path to our sister's as fast as we could. When we got to our sister's we each went our way.
Murder and torture is horrible, but him exposing himself was hideously scary. I said to him, "you're gross". I had never seen "that thing" he showed me before, we took off but I took one last look back to make sure we weren't being followed. I saw he was highly arched in the seat, which I now know was him masturbating. I know now it aroused him to scare his victims and turned him on enough to do that. The face he made at me was pure satisfaction for what he had done.
When I arrived and went inside,my sister greeted me and instantly knew something was wrong. I was too embarrassed and ashamed too tell her. I was completely unnerved and very upset but I told her, I had just been running. She let it go.
Eventually, I calmed down at her house but as summer drew to an end and high-school approached, fear struck at least until 1983. I knew he had to be an upperclass student bc he was driving, he was driving an older 4 door, blue-green car. I have lived in fear and silence for so long, I still have never told my sister. I told my daughter's so they wouldn't make the same mistake. Having someone expose themselves to you is fearful and it caused a lot of anxiety, but I thank God for being spared unlike many of his other victims.
I graduated high-school married. I loved my husband, but I think I needed his safety as well bc he was a tall, strong football player - it NEVER left my mind and I had his protection over me and locked doors.
By 1985, I was working for a little fashion shop where I worked for 18 years. My employer kept magazines for us when it was quiet in the store. There on the desk was that Reader's Digest, I saw his story and the the photo they featured in the publication. I knew instantly this was the man that scared me for so many years. I knew his face, easily. I don't know what year that was, but I KNEW his face very well, it was burned into my brain.
When they hung him, it was actually publicized on the local news station from Walla Walla, we were able to see some of it. There were people seated there who wanted to see, by that time I knew exactly who he was. I made sure to see that newscast from Walla Walla, I wanted to know he was dead. You could hear the trap release and then you saw his feet behind the wall, that's all they allowed us to see on TV.
I cannot express the feelings of relief that he was dead and my mind was completely relieved, I was no longer his prisoner. He admitted he had exposed himself in small cities not far from Richland. Well, yes, he did.
My best friend and I never really spoke of it again. The day he died, I was never so thankful! It was the day that I read Reader's Digest that we had been approached by a serial killer. I'm relieved of my fears and I'm relieved no one else had to suffer from his evil crimes.
I hate him and DEAD IS RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS. DEATH ISNT EVEN GOOD ENOUGH.
Just as I can see his face, his erection all of these years later, I can also see his feet hanging on TV newscast It doesn't heal everything bc I was truly traumatized and kept my secret out of shame. I now realize I shouldn't have been ashamed but I was and I was so afraid for so long. The fear is gone, but a piece of shame remains. I can't say why, those were innocent days or so I thought. Today, I watch crime shows and pray for the children that are missing and that they be spared of any of depraved minds. His type of mind just doesn't care what they do or who they hurt. He took a piece of my innocence and tortured and killed innocent little ones, I hate him. Dead or not, I hate him. Protect your children and never, ever think a small town is safer. I think they prey on small towns bc of the trust we have for each other.
I do.
You do a wonderful job
Thankyou xx
This really hit me hard as I just saw my friends 3 year old grandson and he picked me a dandelion out of the lawn and gave it to me how anyone could do anything to a child I cannot fathom it it disgusts me to the core 🤬😭🕯️
You absolutely amaze me 👏👏👏
@23:00 if soliciting children to play strip poker isn't a crime, I think every body who was ever arrested, punished and shamed for trying to buy/sell sexual activity deserves a massive apology
In the UK there are 5 categories re sexual offences against children, from grooming ( which that would be) & semi naked or naked pictures right through to intercourse. I find it odd that strip poker wouldn't come under grooming.
Yay, can't wait for my fix!
Catching up Emma 😊
i love the psychology behind family dynamics and mental health - I wish Emma did more mental health things or
I first learned of his crimes when I was taking criminal justice courses in school but I've never found much research or content about Dodd. More so on his crimes but not about Dodd's mind. Thanks Emma
What the flying freak. are you kidding me? This was a hard one. I was baffled beyond belief. Thank you for sharing.Love you
Hope you are all having a lovely Day aside from the darkness in this world. 💞💞💞
Great video
Makes my blood boil when people get away with things and then go on to kill. Those murders could have been avoided. If I was a judge who let someone "off" who then went on to kill, I would feel responsible for those deaths.
