The son in law is exactly the problem with people today. Not wanting to get involved. Good on that man for going with his heart and calling the authorities.
Well they did call at some point and were told the incident with Hannah only happened once and children being kept inside all day wasn’t a crime so they refused to go out and check on them. This family had moved all over the US running from CPS in various states. Because CPS doesn’t talk to other states this is very common. They had a very long history of reports of abuse and knew how to handle CPS. They had even had a positive finding in another state for punching one of the children. And yet no state agency bothered to check on these kids. The neighbors began to watch the family after their initial call to collect evidence sufficient enough for CPS to get involved. The wife admits to becoming a little obsessed. She goes into great detail in the Podcast about this incident. When Devonte began visiting and asking for food they started asking him questions to get him to talk. Slowly Devonte began to reveal what was going on. At that point the neighbors had a real complaint and they called CPS. CPS came out but no one answered the door. That night the family took off and a few days later they were all dead.
Default Name Default Name stop fucking politicizing everything. 6 children are dead, and THIS is all you can say? You are 100% in your assessment of these PARTICULAR LUNATICS. You lost me after your stupid blanket statement about “the shallow values of the left” you’re an asshole
AlexandriaOcasioCortez 2028 uuhhhh...like a shiny new gadget...like a prop...the way narcissists tend to do...people are not people to narcissists, they are pawns...objects...PROPS. GET IT? Tell me, WTF is so hard for you to understand about that? And I though you were bright. And these two lunatic bitches...no words
How many times did those kids have to literally beg for help before someone would HELP THEM? Good for these two for calling, especially the guy who wasn't even there. He wasn't even there to see and he seemed to be the one with the biggest heart.
You can tell he truly cared. His voice is wavering and he is emotional. I'm glad he followed his conscience. It all ended badly, but he did the right thing! I hope this serves as an example of how important it is to make that call if our gut (and EYES) tells us something is happening to children in danger.
They knew they were going to be exposed and arrested for child abuse. They were so selfish to silence those children even after they were going to die themselves. Pure EVIL.
I cant help but assume that the call taker partly thinks this old guy is being over the top. When instead, they should realize that this is a person with experience who knows when something smells. He was spot on.
Yep, just like when the social worker called 911 on Josh Powell, right before he blew up his home with his 2 small boys inside. No concern from the 911 dispatcher!!! The state should be sued for wrongful death!!!! In both cases.
There’s no way the 911 operator could have known if the caller “had experience” or not, and neither do any of us. All he had to go on was the kid coming over in the middle of the night anyway, he wasn’t an oracle. Nevertheless the operator reported it to child protective services as she’s supposed to. What else did you expect her to do? She couldn’t possibly have known what was actually going on, nobody could have known that.
Minnesota failed, Texas failed, Oregon failed and finally Washington failed. Just the fact that Jennifer would not speak to her foster child in Minnesota for weeks after a Green Bay Packer signed the foster child's football and not Jennifer's football. Total anti social behavior. Wouldn't every parent be thrilled if a professional athlete did this for your child? This was before any of the adoptions from Texas. Then once the first Texas adoption was approved, thanks to the positive report Minnesota provided to authorities in Texas. Then the foster child's living arrangement was abruptly terminated with the Hart's and neither Jennifer or Sarah spoke to the teenager again. Really Minnesota? Positive report Minnesota? Outrageous!!
YOu can see all the fake shots like. Hey, you look out at the water then you come behind and hug and then you act surprised then have a big smile. I think it's disgusting.
Gray Hughes Hannah is the one that gets to me the most. She always smiles with her lips pressed hard, she must have been so self conscious about those missing teeth. I know what that feels like and it's very hard on a teenager. I cannot believe she didn't want that fixed. They told the neighbors she lost the teeth in a fall (down the stairs I think) and didn't want them replaced. Didn't they go to doctors/dentists?? So sad.
Cody Vector that's not what she said at all. She remarked on how beautiful they were. Then she made a statement on how they didn't deserve what happened to them. How do u take 2 separate statements and combine them to totally change the meaning? That's a rhetorical question, in case u weren't sure.
Bless his heart for making that call. He was really worried he felt it in his spirit. I know now after what has happened his heart breaks even more because he was absolutely right.
'those kids are in very serious danger' What more do you need to step in and investigate. All are complicit in these murders. To the man who begged for help for them...thank you. If only someone had lisitened to you. I know your heart aches.
Also, i grew up in a abusive household. It was mostly emotional. It was miserable at home but I always thought it was my fault until teen years. The main point i want to make is i so relate to the happy faces. When my family went on a vacation and take pictures they would be so happy and treat me and my siblings well. I remember thinking "everything is changing. Everything will be happy now.. They truly love us" As soon as we got home, it went right back to the abuse. I remember crystal clear the very moment i realized this was very wrong how they treat us. From then on i became a runaway and eventually my parents lost custody. I was lucky. It breaks my heart these kids were robbed of the chance to have a good life and will never smile for real in public and at home. God bless their souls forever.
If it's not too personal, can you describe the emotional abuse? I am strict with my 7 year old daughter so she loves being out and about and hates it when she has to come home. I am concerned that I could be overlooking something wrong with the way I parent. or other family members in the home. I would be absolutely crushed if she grows up to feel the way that you describe it..
@@toanotherplace The fact that you are thinking about this means you are on the right track. There are some great parenting books out there and many communities have programs to help parents with stuff like this. You can ask your family doctor to point you in the right direction. A major thing I learned from a Penelope Leach book was that parents must keep their expectations in line with the child's stage of development. Many parents rush this, and expect things of 5-year-old that won't really be possible until like 8 or 9, for example.
I know all about narcissistic parents because I had two of them and it was a living hell. I am 60 and put up with their abuse for 58 years and then from a husband. Now I’m free.
"I remember thinking "everything is changing. Everything will be happy now.. They truly love us" As soon as we got home, it went right back to the abuse." I felt that when I read it. Countless times hoping things will be better only to realize you've been fooled yet again.
The neighbours father breaks my heart. We need more people like him who cause “a fuss” when they feel something is very wrong. I wish he wasn’t too late. :(
At least he did call the Father of their neighbor. The son in law didnt want to get involved and discouraged his wife on helping. Those devils made the kids lie to CPS, Police, and that family. CPS failed those kids.
If a kid's hiding between your bed and dresser you are already involved. What normal person wouldn't have called the cops. Those neighbors saw all kinds of weirdness from that family. Even after Devonte had been begging for a week, she still hadn't called in the law. I don't know what's wrong with those people, but I can't understand the reluctance to report.
This is a rehearsed commercial right? I mean, it's obviously NOT genuine. You can tell the smiles are often forced and I dare to say, I can see fear in the eyes of the boys in a few moments.
I believe they were the older two, right? And they were siblings. Seems that Abigail was the favorite from that trio. Or maybe they were not so keen to play the happy family game :/
I noticed that. I kept thinking some were missing from this trip but the 6 are in the end with Sarah. It's tripping me out because Sarah looks so much like someone I know... a co-workers daughter, that just so happens to be a lesbian with a partner named Sarah!
I've noticed Markis seems to have a crooked arm. I've read in comments that some the children's were LD or had physical or learning issues. Is this true? Haven't read anything to verify that.
People knew. Just not all the people. They were reported in every state they lived in. They were reported by teachers, neighbors, friends. CPS was called on them everywhere.
The husband next door who didn’t “want to get involved” after Hannah ran to his house in the middle of the night crying and pleading to not go back...how can he tell his wife, we don’t want to get involved after that horrible situation? And how the hell did she listen to him? It’s this hideous mind your own business attitude towards vulnerable kids, animals and the elderly who are clearly victims of neglect and abuse, that result in tragic endings like this. We all need to speak out, report, just like the compassionate 80 yr old father of the neighbor’s wife who called police to report what his daughter told him.
The women could've made a conscious decision at any time to stop mistreating the children. Especially after Sarah was charged with malicious punishment of a child and plead out to domestic abuse.
Oh,Gray,this is an absolutely superb piece of work. The 911 calls are utterly heart rending. The video is so poignant,listening but watching those gorgeous children and thinking of the beautiful life they deserved,yet were denied. Can't stop the tears rolling down my face. You really hit every button with this one. Thank you.
Came across this video last night and it kind of says it all, not one natural moment. These children were used by these virtue signaling fanatics. Dig your channel Gray.
This breaks my heart. Today was the first time that I cried over this particular story. Following along with all of Gray's coverage, I have felt mostly rage. But seeing this footage, well, it really does put faces and personalities to these innocent and sweet kiddos. Keep these coming, Gray. Excellent work!!! Thanks for staying on these stories!
Nice mashup, Gray. I love when you make vids like this; Very simple and super effective. This has become the most messed up case I’ve seen in recent memory, possibly ever to have happened in my lifetime. Thanks for covering it so thoroughly. RIP kids.
Ugh why couldn't they just love them! My gf and I have been together for six years and I DREAM of having a family! How do you take in someone who's already broken and left behind and then just continue to break them and treat them like they are nothing. 😭
Scripted videos...the mothers telling the kids exactly what to do, when to smile, how to act and move. They didn't want to lose those children because they were paid for their care and expenses. Horrible story...CPS is just as responsible as those vile women!
I assume the dogs went too. Ciara Jeremiah and Devonte were wanted and loved by biological family. Their aunt was trying to get them back. Unbelievable.
If these children were white and the guardians we're black,the WHOLE neighborhood and police dept would've kicked down the door. We know exactly why their cries went unheard.
Thanks for uploading. It's good to be able to see the kids as they were living. These women were crazy. I wish they would have left, but left the kids behind alive so that they could have lived good lives.
Gray Hughes interesting how the kids who were the ones who sort out help and were reported beaten and asked for food are the same ones who are missing.... your theory that they were disposed of earlier sounds plausible
I'm also noticing that THEY CLEARLY had their favorites. This video barely contains any footage of Hannah and Markis, and it seems devonte is featured because he's a funny charismatic kid trained to perform for the cameras.
Jeanette Nettie Huen Narcissists always need a scapegoat child. They have to have one to dump their toxicity onto. They will never deal with their own problems. They use and abuse others.
Some people aren't observant, but, running to neighbors, is a good clue something is wrong. Have to take action and call the police, they are trained to talk to children, kids are afraid to tell the truth and get more hurt, if they are released back to the abusing parents.
SUCH BEAutiful babies- all of them. They had a nice home, beautiful children, friends, plenty of money for food and clothing and trips- obviously had the capacity to be kind sometimes as the kids were sometimes happy. That makes it all the worse- it was a game to them. Those poor kids probably felt”” well maybe this is the time the happiness will last””- boom- nope, the rug gets yanked out from under them again. Just tears up my heart. I’ve fostered kids who’ve lived like this and it’s heartwrenching. They know that parents have the capacity to be good but are choosing to pick on them and manipulate and abuse them.💔God Bless the DeKalbs and Mrs. DeKalb’s Dad. I consider them heroes.
Yeah a beautiful home and plenty of money means nothing if you are abused, starved, and just not having as happy childhood. A facade is all that was shown to the world.
"I don't want to get involved. Look again at this video, see how thin and boney theses growing kids are, now look at your kids. Do they look that thin? Note, Jennifer wasn't thin!
My heart breaks seeing these pictures of the kids. Pisses me off how most are of these self centered monsters. It was ALL about them!! I cry thinking about what these poor kids endured💔 -Rachel
Thank God for the Father-in-Law of the neighbor, by reporting this incident to the police. Unfortunately, the cops should have been called that night. We need more people like this man who was not afraid to get involved!!!!
So sad, I get more and more depressed about humanity especially America as that is my country. I mean the police will show up armed ready to shoot for a made up call. Yet the real deal about children no less is ran slowly through the cycle of justice. Heavy heavy heart!
Interestingly Markis and Hannah are barely featured in these videos. Were they simply annoying teens avoiding the camera, like I would have, or were they considered "not perfect" for the camera. Very odd
This is heart breaking. And the neighbor's father tried to help. And how can they put kids back in a home where one of the parent's have already pled guilty to domestic assault??? Really, how?
This is a tragic story that many want to see swept under the rug. Poor Devonte. So much pain in that child's eyes. These children were objects to these women. Lifestyle accessories. They were completely denied the ability to have their own identities and emotions. I imagine as the kids grew into their teenage years and young adulthood, they became increasingly difficult to control, making management of this couple's charade impossible. Their facade began to crumble. Kids were jumping out of second story windows and running to neighbors for help, for God's sake. Sneaking over in the middle of the night and begging for food. Not good, and not a good look. These women knew people in their community were talking. The abuse was going to be exposed. They felt the hammer coming down. So, instead of just taking their own wretched lives, they took all six children with them. That's a level of wickedness and selfishness I cannot comprehend. They wanted to prevent their foster children from exposing their lies and abuse and tarnishing their image, EVEN AFTER THEY WERE DEAD. It proves that the children were nothing but objects to them. Possessions and not human beings. That's a form of slavery. I can't help but speculate on their move from the progressive Mecca of Oregon to Washington. WA is a beautiful state, but it's no Oregon. Seattle is no Portland. I wonder if they were running from a situation that had fallen apart so badly that they needed to completely uproot themselves and leave their precious nu-hippy scene behind forever. Were they discovered to be abusing the children by their neighbors and acquaintances in Oregon? If so, why did no one act on behalf of the children? Did no one want to "get involved" in Oregon as well? Who from that scene would have the nerve to go up against an iconic progressive multicultural family? A lesbian couple with six black children? That's the image of the progressive dream right there. The couple evidently told their new neighbors in Washington that they had come from Texas, not Oregon. Very strange. These women would want to wear their time residing in Oregon on their sleeves. Did they not want neighbors looking into their past in Oregon and potentially contacting authorities or CPS there? CPS in Texas had showered them with praise. I wonder if authorities in Oregon had a different story to tell?? So many questions. I just can't imagine the children's terrifying final moments and the days leading up to their murders. What a nightmare.
Great job CPS!!! These kids were in very clear and present danger and what did you do. Knock once no answer so come back another day. CPS take kids away from their parents for far less than all the evidence screaming cps in the face from these kids neighbours and a domestic abuse charge. Why the hell is that? Why does it happen that way, I can only assume some hidden agenda within CPS but I'm not sure what that would be. Any ideas guys???
From someone who has worked in the Canadian protection system (and has gotten out), all orders of removal are done by the court. The cps workers write a case. They have to investigate every tip that comes in. In those tips, a large majority are false accusations. Cps does not go into a home and decide the children need to be taken away. It takes case notes and evidence. Those are presented to the court, and the court hands down the order. Many workers get just as pissed about the results as others who think it’s unjust at times. Anger is often thrown at the workers, and they do drop the ball some times. No decision is solely based upon what one case worker thinks or wants. There is a multitude of individuals involved in the process.
I read in NY State foster/adoptive parents are not allowed to put children in homeschooling. The state wants other eyes on the kids: teachers, etc. In some videos the kids look happy. What a shame that Jennifer and/or Sarah weren't more self-aware, to seek help for themselves so they could parent these sweet children. Incredibly sad.
1:45. "...[A little girl showed up at their door at two in the morning] begging them [the neighbors] to help her, help her...she was begging my daughter not to let them [Jennifer and Sarah] know she was there...and then they came back [the next day] and [the children] they all just stood at attention and looked like they were just scared to death...and I think something very serious is going on there...those kids I think are in very serious danger...yeah, there are some kids, I feel, are being highly abused..." This appeared to be the DHS (Oregon), CPS (Washington) roll. Dang, those kids were really thin...
Devonte was such a beautiful young man. These beautiful children deserved so much more. There's a special place in hell for Jen especially, and for Sarah for not having the courage to stand up to her and take up for those sweet angels. I'm just as angry at Jennifer/Sarah Hart as I am the Turpins. I'm also angry at the angencies that allowed that many children to be placed with one incompetent couple. There should be a limit of ONE child adopted per family until they can provide proof that they are capable and caring enough to adopt two. TWO CHILDREN should be the limit. NO COMPENSATION for adoption. Period!!
I hope these good children are not buried in the same cemetery or next to their evil killers , matter of fact don,t bury these killers next to any good humans.
More evidence that certain segments of society are 'protected' from normal scrutiny because of their particular lifestyles, orientation, politics or religious beliefs. The job of CPS is not easy, made more difficult by those quick to scream discrimination, racism etc...this is the result
All of this is torture and brain washing ! Making kids pretend to like you and hug you and run around , dance just for social media !🤬🤬🤬 while behind closed doors these kids were starving and running away for their lives !
I bet if the adoptive parents would have been a different race and the kids a different race as well...there would have been police ready to arrest some parents within hours.
When the little boy ran up to hug Sarah she kind of looked up in direction of the camera as if to say "how was that?" . Don't want to be callous , but anyone know what happened to the dogs. I likely missed this if they were found. I am unable to keep up with too much of this story, but trying to catch up as things go along. This is about the only channel I get answers.
"A completely contrived self indulgent video of BS" Very well put Gray! Seems the world was one big stage to these women, and one long nightmare for these poor kids. Gut wrenching for sure.
What's disgusting is these kids were adopted. Meaning that these 2 sickos consciously decided to get these kids just to abuse them and then kill them. I hope those 2 are rotting in hell. Rip to the 6 innocent lives taken.
My heart goes out to the male caller. You can hear the desperation in his voice. You did your best x
Windsor Castle and he tried but that too didn’t convince CPS. They need to be fired
Heartbreaking to know he did the best he was able to do, make the call. So sad the way the children were abused. Tragic their lives taken too soon.
@@msreneedenice5046 They don't "need" anything. It's what you WANT. That's a different thing.
He really did his best.
Hearing this man speak literally broke my heart!!! He really did try!
The son in law is exactly the problem with people today. Not wanting to get involved. Good on that man for going with his heart and calling the authorities.
Thank you I'm glad somebody else noticed that my daughter was shocked that the son-in-law would not even care to help these children their children
I feel the same, when was that call made? Because I read something similar happened with Hannah escaping in 2017.
Well they did call at some point and were told the incident with Hannah only happened once and children being kept inside all day wasn’t a crime so they refused to go out and check on them.

Well they were Black, what did you expect.
They knew they were going to be exposed and arrested for child abuse. They were so selfish to silence those children even after they were going to die themselves. Pure EVIL.
Lisa Swayne oh wow.. You're right. Never thought of that.
Right. They knew that they were going to be exposed. Pure evil is right.
Mental illness as well.
No normal person would do this to children, let alone their own foster children.
That's exactly what I got from it as well :'( The authorities were closing in...

yes the old man used gut instinct an old fashion skill facebook obliterated
This is what I think too. By his age you are done with denial, you *know* that even the people you would least suspect are capable of terrible things.
Yep, just like when the social worker called 911 on Josh Powell, right before he blew up his home with his 2 small boys inside. No concern from the 911 dispatcher!!! The state should be sued for wrongful death!!!! In both cases.

That phone call from the father of the next door neighbors is heart wrenching!
Too bad he waited 2 months before he called. :-(
@@karebear2931 He called a few days after the incident he was aware of.
They were really beautiful children. They deserved better.
Did they only “deserve more” because they were “beautiful”?
no, that's you trying to parse what someone said. She made two statements. you chose to assume they were connected.

Thanks Gray and Good Vibes. The question was so idiotic, I chose not to answer.
no I didn't. I'm just curious.
Bless his heart for making that call. He was really worried he felt it in his spirit. I know now after what has happened his heart breaks even more because he was absolutely right.
Indeed. This man has his heart at the right place. He did his part.
Those were really skinny kids. The two women don't look like they missed any meals.
Yes, neighbors said one of the children came to them begging for food.
When you see kids smiling this much it usually means they are scared to do anything else.
'those kids are in very serious danger' What more do you need to step in and investigate. All are complicit in these murders. To the man who begged for help for them...thank you. If only someone had lisitened to you. I know your heart aches.

it's weird how they rarely show Markis' face. Just wasn't cute enough for their Facade image.
Gray Hughes Same with Hannah!
yep...they just didn't have cute enough faces for their sales pitch.
I believe they were the older two, right? And they were siblings. Seems that Abigail was the favorite from that trio. Or maybe they were not so keen to play the happy family game :/
I noticed that. I kept thinking some were missing from this trip but the 6 are in the end with Sarah.
It's tripping me out because Sarah looks so much like someone I know... a co-workers daughter, that just so happens to be a lesbian with a partner named Sarah!
I've noticed Markis seems to have a crooked arm. I've read in comments that some the children's were LD or had physical or learning issues. Is this true? Haven't read anything to verify that.
This whole story haunts me. How can people be so cruel and no one even know?
People knew. Just not all the people. They were reported in every state they lived in. They were reported by teachers, neighbors, friends. CPS was called on them everywhere.
The husband next door who didn’t “want to get involved” after Hannah ran to his house in the middle of the night crying and pleading to not go back...how can he tell his wife, we don’t want to get involved after that horrible situation? And how the hell did she listen to him? It’s this hideous mind your own business attitude towards vulnerable kids, animals and the elderly who are clearly victims of neglect and abuse, that result in tragic endings like this. We all need to speak out, report, just like the compassionate 80 yr old father of the neighbor’s wife who called police to report what his daughter told him.
I bet he would have called immediately if that was a little white girl with black adopted parents!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick sick women!!! Poor sweet babies...
Forced fake smiles everywhere
How can you tell?
I'm horrible at telling the difference. LOL
The Harts: A Lesbian version of the Turpins.
I also get Jonestown vibes from their apparent suicides.
They knew the net was closing in and decided to silence them forever.
We will never let you be forgotten. ❤️
The women could've made a conscious decision at any time to stop mistreating the children.
Especially after Sarah was charged with malicious punishment of a child and plead out to domestic abuse.
It is suspected it was actually Jen Hart that was supposed to be charged. This couple was sick.
This man was right on. Too many people "don't want to get involved," but it takes a village and we've got to get involved or things like this happen.
This breaks my heart those beautiful children 😢
Thank goodness this man did care enough to call. He tried to help at least.
Oh,Gray,this is an absolutely superb piece of work.
The 911 calls are utterly heart rending.
The video is so poignant,listening but watching those gorgeous children and thinking of the beautiful life they deserved,yet were denied.
Can't stop the tears rolling down my face.
You really hit every button with this one.
Thank you.
Came across this video last night and it kind of says it all, not one natural moment. These children were used by these virtue signaling fanatics. Dig your channel Gray.
I wish I can have children and some people take them for granted. This story is so sad.
This breaks my heart. Today was the first time that I cried over this particular story. Following along with all of Gray's coverage, I have felt mostly rage. But seeing this footage, well, it really does put faces and personalities to these innocent and sweet kiddos. Keep these coming, Gray. Excellent work!!! Thanks for staying on these stories!
Ugh. This made me cry. Truly heartbreaking. Bless that man for following his gut and speaking up.
Nice mashup, Gray. I love when you make vids like this; Very simple and super effective. This has become the most messed up case I’ve seen in recent memory, possibly ever to have happened in my lifetime. Thanks for covering it so thoroughly. RIP kids.
Ugh why couldn't they just love them! My gf and I have been together for six years and I DREAM of having a family! How do you take in someone who's already broken and left behind and then just continue to break them and treat them like they are nothing. 😭
Hurts my heart so much to see how beautiful and loving these kids were and that they never got the chance to become all that they could be.
They kept moving out of state when they r getting checked on....cps across the nation should be connected
Man that call gave me goosebumps. What a person
Scripted videos...the mothers telling the kids exactly what to do, when to smile, how to act and move. They didn't want to lose those children because they were paid for their care and expenses. Horrible story...CPS is just as responsible as those vile women!
The entire system failed these children...
I assume the dogs went too. Ciara Jeremiah and Devonte were wanted and loved by biological family. Their aunt was trying to get them back. Unbelievable.
Almost all of those kids are in their teens. The oldest is 19! They have stunted growth because of not being fed....smh
If these children were white and the guardians we're black,the WHOLE neighborhood and police dept would've kicked down the door. We know exactly why their cries went unheard.
The son in law didn't want to get involved...bless the neighbor who called and cared...
Thanks for uploading. It's good to be able to see the kids as they were living. These women were crazy. I wish they would have left, but left the kids behind alive so that they could have lived good lives.
Seems so staged and forced for those poor kids to have to look like happy families .
Gray Hughes interesting how the kids who were the ones who sort out help and were reported beaten and asked for food are the same ones who are missing.... your theory that they were disposed of earlier sounds plausible
I'm also noticing that THEY CLEARLY had their favorites. This video barely contains any footage of Hannah and Markis, and it seems devonte is featured because he's a funny charismatic kid trained to perform for the cameras.
Jeanette Nettie Huen Narcissists always need a scapegoat child. They have to have one to dump their toxicity onto. They will never deal with their own problems. They use and abuse others.
Hannah has missing teeth, says it all really, no one could spoil the family image.
At 0:32 she pulls back on the dogs for no reason, this guy's is this person's true nature. Disgusting, mean, spiteful people.
ALL THOSE calls PREDICTING what would be YET NOTHING comes but PAIN , DEATH & destruction !!
Severely Soul wrenching 💔
Love & Light to all ..Xx🙏🏽💜🕉
Some people aren't observant, but, running to neighbors, is a good clue something is wrong. Have to take action and call the police, they are trained to talk to children, kids are afraid to tell the truth and get more hurt, if they are released back to the abusing parents.
So disturbing. Two terribly evil people became a psychotic monster together.
Facade is putting it mildly.
If a child came to my door begging me to keep her safe Idc if the police arrest me I will keep that child!!! GOD IS NOW PROTECTING THESE KIDS 💔😢😢😢
And people ask me why I dont trust people. Especially the smiling ones...
SUCH BEAutiful babies- all of them. They had a nice home, beautiful children, friends, plenty of money for food and clothing and trips- obviously had the capacity to be kind sometimes as the kids were sometimes happy. That makes it all the worse- it was a game to them. Those poor kids probably felt”” well maybe this is the time the happiness will last””- boom- nope, the rug gets yanked out from under them again. Just tears up my heart. I’ve fostered kids who’ve lived like this and it’s heartwrenching. They know that parents have the capacity to be good but are choosing to pick on them and manipulate and abuse them.💔God Bless the DeKalbs and Mrs. DeKalb’s Dad. I consider them heroes.
When the police entered the Hart's home they said there was no evidence that children actually lived there. Shocking, since they had six children.
Yeah a beautiful home and plenty of money means nothing if you are abused, starved, and just not having as happy childhood. A facade is all that was shown to the world.
This is why I'm a strong believer in not myob when it comes to kids.
This video of these kids looks so choreographed. Poor babies deserved so much better.
God Bless that man that chose to get involved
"I don't want to get involved.
Look again at this video, see how thin and boney theses growing kids are, now look at your kids. Do they look that thin?
Note, Jennifer wasn't thin!
Apparently they would tell people the kids were developmentally delayed because they were born addicted to drugs. They were smooth operators!
My heart breaks seeing these pictures of the kids. Pisses me off how most are of these self centered monsters. It was ALL about them!! I cry thinking about what these poor kids endured💔
-Rachel
Grandpa a good man
It is hilarious how most of the elderly father's 911 call is to complain about Bruce.
Thank God for the Father-in-Law of the neighbor, by reporting this incident to the police. Unfortunately, the cops should have been called that night. We need more people like this man who was not afraid to get involved!!!!
Absolutely sad!! What beautiful smiles they had.
For anyone who wants in depth details of the story there's a podcast called Broken Harts. Just fyi
Susan A thanks for that
So sad, I get more and more depressed about humanity especially America as that is my country. I mean the police will show up armed ready to shoot for a made up call. Yet the real deal about children no less is ran slowly through the cycle of justice. Heavy heavy heart!
Interestingly Markis and Hannah are barely featured in these videos. Were they simply annoying teens avoiding the camera, like I would have, or were they considered "not perfect" for the camera. Very odd
Spamela Basically if you don’t fit their agenda you’re trash to the narcissist and to be disposed of.
Wow,This is very upsetting to see. Feelings Happen but acting on that FEELING is a choice.
uncontrolled Anger killed them all.
This is heart breaking. And the neighbor's father tried to help. And how can they put kids back in a home where one of the parent's have already pled guilty to domestic assault??? Really, how?
This is a tragic story that many want to see swept under the rug. Poor Devonte. So much pain in that child's eyes. These children were objects to these women. Lifestyle accessories. They were completely denied the ability to have their own identities and emotions. I imagine as the kids grew into their teenage years and young adulthood, they became increasingly difficult to control, making management of this couple's charade impossible. Their facade began to crumble. Kids were jumping out of second story windows and running to neighbors for help, for God's sake. Sneaking over in the middle of the night and begging for food. Not good, and not a good look. These women knew people in their community were talking. The abuse was going to be exposed. They felt the hammer coming down. So, instead of just taking their own wretched lives, they took all six children with them. That's a level of wickedness and selfishness I cannot comprehend. They wanted to prevent their foster children from exposing their lies and abuse and tarnishing their image, EVEN AFTER THEY WERE DEAD. It proves that the children were nothing but objects to them. Possessions and not human beings. That's a form of slavery. I can't help but speculate on their move from the progressive Mecca of Oregon to Washington. WA is a beautiful state, but it's no Oregon. Seattle is no Portland. I wonder if they were running from a situation that had fallen apart so badly that they needed to completely uproot themselves and leave their precious nu-hippy scene behind forever. Were they discovered to be abusing the children by their neighbors and acquaintances in Oregon? If so, why did no one act on behalf of the children? Did no one want to "get involved" in Oregon as well? Who from that scene would have the nerve to go up against an iconic progressive multicultural family? A lesbian couple with six black children? That's the image of the progressive dream right there. The couple evidently told their new neighbors in Washington that they had come from Texas, not Oregon. Very strange. These women would want to wear their time residing in Oregon on their sleeves. Did they not want neighbors looking into their past in Oregon and potentially contacting authorities or CPS there? CPS in Texas had showered them with praise. I wonder if authorities in Oregon had a different story to tell?? So many questions. I just can't imagine the children's terrifying final moments and the days leading up to their murders. What a nightmare.
Those videos are like an advertisement for a cult, it feels so staged. Those poor kids, getting adopted into that... Rest in peace little ones...
It feels staged because it WAS staged, jesus cripes, D-U-H
Great job CPS!!! These kids were in very clear and present danger and what did you do. Knock once no answer so come back another day.
CPS take kids away from their parents for far less than all the evidence screaming cps in the face from these kids neighbours and a domestic abuse charge.
Why the hell is that? Why does it happen that way, I can only assume some hidden agenda within CPS but I'm not sure what that would be. Any ideas guys???
From someone who has worked in the Canadian protection system (and has gotten out), all orders of removal are done by the court. The cps workers write a case. They have to investigate every tip that comes in. In those tips, a large majority are false accusations. Cps does not go into a home and decide the children need to be taken away. It takes case notes and evidence. Those are presented to the court, and the court hands down the order. Many workers get just as pissed about the results as others who think it’s unjust at times. Anger is often thrown at the workers, and they do drop the ball some times. No decision is solely based upon what one case worker thinks or wants. There is a multitude of individuals involved in the process.
yeah, but if they are motivated they can make a case out of nothing just like prosecutors do from time to time.
plus you were in Canada not the US
I read in NY State foster/adoptive parents are not allowed to put children in homeschooling. The state wants other eyes on the kids: teachers, etc. In some videos the kids look happy. What a shame that Jennifer and/or Sarah weren't more self-aware, to seek help for themselves so they could parent these sweet children. Incredibly sad.
Devastating. If only someone survived, we would know more truths. Love your channel, so informative.
1:45. "...[A little girl showed up at their door at two in the morning] begging them [the neighbors] to help her, help her...she was begging my daughter not to let them [Jennifer and Sarah] know she was there...and then they came back [the next day] and [the children] they all just stood at attention and looked like they were just scared to death...and I think something very serious is going on there...those kids I think are in very serious danger...yeah, there are some kids, I feel, are being highly abused..." This appeared to be the DHS (Oregon), CPS (Washington) roll. Dang, those kids were really thin...
Devonte was such a beautiful young man. These beautiful children deserved so much more. There's a special place in hell for Jen especially, and for Sarah for not having the courage to stand up to her and take up for those sweet angels. I'm just as angry at Jennifer/Sarah Hart as I am the Turpins. I'm also angry at the angencies that allowed that many children to be placed with one incompetent couple. There should be a limit of ONE child adopted per family until they can provide proof that they are capable and caring enough to adopt two. TWO CHILDREN should be the limit. NO COMPENSATION for adoption. Period!!
I think Jennifer was abusing Sarah too.....
I hope these good children are not buried in the same cemetery or next to their evil killers , matter of fact don,t bury these killers next to any good humans.
This makes me SOOO upset....The system allowed these children to be murdered. Sickening!
This is a case that must ve known worldwide!!!!! These women were sick...
More evidence that certain segments of society are 'protected' from normal scrutiny because of their particular lifestyles, orientation, politics or religious beliefs. The job of CPS is not easy, made more difficult by those quick to scream discrimination, racism etc...this is the result
All of this is torture and brain washing ! Making kids pretend to like you and hug you and run around , dance just for social media !🤬🤬🤬 while behind closed doors these kids were starving and running away for their lives !
So many children suffering in their families. What we have here with the Harts is only the top of the iceberg.
Woke culture
Their smiles, their gestures and movements seem as an act.
So So Sad. Damn. SMH God Bless This Country& World 🌎
I bet if the adoptive parents would have been a different race and the kids a different race as well...there would have been police ready to arrest some parents within hours.
hard to say. One thing for sure is CPS didn't do their job and I suspect for political reasons.
It’s the same for all races
When the little boy ran up to hug Sarah she kind of looked up in direction of the camera as if to say "how was that?" . Don't want to be callous , but anyone know what happened to the dogs. I likely missed this if they were found. I am unable to keep up with too much of this story, but trying to catch up as things go along. This is about the only channel I get answers.
lol..exactly. that's what I notice throughout. a completely contrived self indulgent video of BS.
Hannah, Cierra/Sierra, Devonte and two dogs still missing. Though they have found a body of a female, they have not yet disclosed who it is.
💔
"A completely contrived self indulgent video of BS" Very well put Gray! Seems the world was one big stage to these women, and one long nightmare for these poor kids. Gut wrenching for sure.
Why are two of the kids missing from the close ups?
OMG :( :( :( What a Shame...God Bless these poor children in Heaven Now....
This video is put together so well.
What's disgusting is these kids were adopted. Meaning that these 2 sickos consciously decided to get these kids just to abuse them and then kill them. I hope those 2 are rotting in hell. Rip to the 6 innocent lives taken.
