He must’ve been the adult from the time he was younger. Robert seemed like he was the type of child that would have to kick Debora in the ass and talk sense into her if she did something wrong.
She was worried about jail cuz in her eyes she was the reason the baby was dead. The mother was never supposed to be living with the child she was supposed to be supervised with her.
I think sadly, in some way, he knew it would end with the baby dead. Maybe that's why he was so collected when they found it. He probably had hope the courts would give him the baby, that the mom would come to her senses, or something, but knew also how bad it could be..
"The baby is deceased" has to be one of the most chilling things said in an almost perfectly calm manner. Imagine what would have been done if Robert never came in the house that day.
I wholeheartedly believe that if Robert never came home (and this is a theory) Debora would have woken up to Dede and her deceased child and they would have came up with a way to hide the body to cover up their crimes. Absolutely disgusting. I fully believe they would even tried to hide that precious baby and cover it up....
@@djharris6822 that is also another theory but the way she immediately cried as the operator started to talk, showed me shes trying to portray an innocent image even when she very clearly put the baby in harms way by violating a HUGE rule of not having the unstable mother around the child. I also noticed how she kept saying "im going to jail" as that was all she was worried about. That also made me feel like she would've tried to cover it up in a fit of anxiety or fear.
@@janessastrachan3682 she had post partum depression, she only had ill intent towards her baby, thus why she separated herself from the rest of the house. Post partum is a VERY complicated condition but 9/10 the mother only tries to harm her offspring.
The way Robert responded to his mother’s dramatics & the 911 call says a lot about his maturity. I bet he had to play parent a lot growing up & is a wonderful father to his own kids & all children
I hate that she screamed to the 911 operator “omg I’m going to jail”. Debbie was Debbie’s priority. She wasn’t crying for the baby: she was crying for herself.
"I put the knife in the baby's hand so it would look like she did it to herself".... is one of the most bizarre, unbelievable, terrifying things I've ever heard.
that statement right there made me question some things because some people are saying postpartum, but I can't think of anyone who has been in postpartum and thought of doing that. Her statement stated that putting the knife in the baby's hand so it looked like the baby had done it. She knew what she did. It's like she was making sure she was supposedly covering her tracks. so she was having a thought process in her mind.
@@marteeloughren2715 she had postpartum psychosis which is different than just postpartum depression which is msot talked about. not all psychosis is violent but it definitely can get that way, whereas yeah with depression pretty much never.
In my opinion Robert did INCREDIBLY well handling the situation and I think that should really be highlighted. He kept calm and made sure everyone important to him were safe and okay
I completely agree with that young man that (in the interrogation room) said she was being selfish by repeatedly asking for help. Yes, it must have been horrific to see but the CHILDREN are the ones who originally found the baby in that shape...what about them and what they need? Also, she is the one who allowed this to happen by letting a known volatile and mentally unwell mother to be in her house when she wasn't legally allowed to be there. Also, the 911 dispatcher was right when she was first on the phone and didn't realize anyone could hear her, she was calm. All of a sudden, once she realized she had an audience, the hysterics kick in. I firmly believe this is all an act to minimize the amount of trouble she's in for not abiding by the legal demands to not allow the mother in her home.
You mean a real adult*. Those are characteristics of a great upstanding citizen and responsible adult. He had to keep his composure through all this madness, not just for himself, but for his entire family. I feel for him. Let's hope he gets the help he needs to deal with his own feelings after this trauma.
I don't know what gave the urge for the dispatcher at such a traumatizing or urgent need for help to say " ok is it a boy or a girl " while there litterally dead wth u expect someone to talk calmly while there's A 3 MONTH OLD DEAD BABY ..
@@Jozz. those characteristics, while not unique to men, are traditionally considered to be masculine. he also just is a man, so calling him a real man as opposed to a real adult doesn't make a difference.
@@wutzupbroz some dispatchers got no fucking chill man fr. "the baby is dead on the counter with its head smashed open" "great! now if you could just tell me exactly how many skull fragments are in there, that'd be a huge help :)" like how much more info do you need? just send the fucking cops, the guy doesn't want to traumatize himself.
The system is faulty the way they expected a mentally ill person to "be responsible" and take their meds is crazy. She should have been hospitalized. This is a chemical imbalance from the trauma of child birth. They need a facility that allows both mother and child to reside and still bond while being medicated and monitored by professionals
The son is outstanding. His phone call at the start, the way hes telling his mum to straighten up and that shes being selfish. While holding himself and probably everyone around him grounded. He's a MAN through and through
Nah, hes just an upstanding citizen. Idk why people have philosophize manhood into basic moral tasks, as if though women, elders, and youths arent held to that standard. Why dont we say "REAL WOMEN/ELDERS/YOUTHS DO THIS"? Its very patronizing. It shows that society prefers chivalric cringe over practicality.
@@neonfroot yeah not like there’s thousands upon thousands of years of men being the courageous figures who look after and ground the family unit in both reality and stories. you act like it’s entirely unprecedented, when in reality 1000x more of the worlds history has been spent with this idea of “manly” and only recently have people started making arguments similar to yours.
@@neonfroot they aren’t held to that standard. Women especially. Women hardly face any consequences for their actions and never take accountability for their actions. Unless a woman cold blooded murder somebody like that excuse for a woman did here, there is close to 0 accountability. Even in the case of murder, for whatever reason, if a man and woman commit a horrific crime like murder together, the women ALWAYS receive less time than the man.
@@milana2020I think what's not that common anymore is people regarding men in general as being just as decent as anyone else. Men are, frankly, demonized. You can thank feminism for this. Men in general need to be given just as much credit as anyone else, but they aren't. So that is why, when you have a situation where it becomes impossible to deny that a particular man was being a good person, then people clap their hands and act like he's being a very good boy. Yes, he's a good man, and so are a lot of men.
@@cynthiacromwell8002 Idk wym "all of them got me sick" and "he was just as annoying I thought he was guilty." I don't know if you could possibly be deaf or unsure of what the 911 call consisted of but imagine you see a relative brutally mxrdered in a family members kitchen, let alone your sister. Robert had to stand there with his OWN CHILDREN as a LITERAL infant had been mxrdered by their own mother, and by his mother. Everyones talking about the call because imagine that, imagine you have to make a 911 call while having your own mother as the mxrderer, your baby sister that had been deceased and mxrdered by your own mother, your children at the house, and other relatives there as well. Now cynthia, i can understand the case being sick, but the only sick person there was Deasia. Robert had nothing to do with the death, infact he was sure of the infant being taken care of, by CPS and Deasia's auntie. Also, i have no clue what went on inside your brain to make you think Robert could've done this, they had clearly set out a timeline from the auntie, Robert's 911 call and Deasia's confession/guilt plead. You could hear the scare in his voice and the realization that it was reality for him. Sometimes Cynthia, YOU need to keep your opinions to yourself. also, as someone who's most likely younger then you are (Cynthia is a older name) Even I know better to filter myself then a grown woman can, you're allowed to be angry but read the room Cynthia, and listen to the questioning, 911 call, and timelines again. Maybe it'll tick your memory or sense of logic. Watch the video again, maybe it'll make sense as you're someone who's older.
As a dad of a 1 year old I’ve had long nights with my daughter but I swear I’m so grateful for even those! This shit really hurt my heart to hear her speak of how she did it.
Right?! Been 3 days of hardly any sleep with my 1 year old but my goodness, despite the strain & stress I could never take even our rough nights for granted. Wouldn’t trade the struggles for anything if it means my baby is alive & well. 🙏🏾
I am absolutely disgusted, and in tears. When the judge tells you to keep someone away from a child and you already knew what happened prior, why let her back around that baby.
Exactly and I will never understand these people. When I worked at a daycare we had a father that wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near the toddler and the family all knew this, they knew how violent he was. The mama didn’t want to be bothered being by herself so she took the baby back to the dad and the dad murdered him. Violently.
@@kelseywelsey2924 To many who never had a two parent home, they want a fantasy family like the Hallmark movies. They want a man to take care of them. For many having a man is everything. Being married - even to an awful person - is considered a status symbol. Sad , but these are facts.
Seriously. He's an excellent dad as well. Saw what happened, got his kids the hell out the door to safety, and went back in to figure it out. I truly hope everyone, but especially that little kid who unfortunately saw the scene, is in proper counseling. They've got a real father behind them.
@@deevasquez1171 yeah, I agreed with Alex. Imagine you are in Robert's shoes during that situation. He did not know that Deasia was the killer of her own baby. Even if he did, what can he do more? Stab his cousin to death? I salute him for remained calm during that situation.
@@deevasquez1171hes concerned about the well being of the people he cant find thats more than reasonable you see one dead body and you dont know where the rest of your family is thats gonna be cause for concern. You must be mentally disabled
@@deevasquez1171 the innocent dead baby is dead! What can be done, whats a concern for in that situation to the dead baby? Did you even understand what concern is?
Agreed, it just made me hate the women more. Normally, I empathize with situations like this, but that woman seems to be doing it more for attention than anything else, just my opinion
I've watched hundreds of these, and this detective is one of the most skilled I have EVER seen. He understood the exact psychological angle he needed to take. Well done.
That's also because he had actual evidence to back his claims up. That made it quite easy for him. Kudos to both of them for keeping their cool though.
@@0002pA true, but the first lady was being overly aggressive and that was never gonna work with Deasia and her situation. Scooting her chair close to try and intimidate her. It was kinda funny that she thought she was going intimidate someone. She seemed very impatient, which I understand with the situation, but isn’t good for a person in her situation. The second guy was patient and did a far better job of talking to her in order to get responses
@@marcuswilliams5255 well, nothing other then medication could have woken that person up to talk. she was deeeeeply lost in Postpartum Psychosis imo. wich is why it worked better the second time to talk to her, as she was then on medication
@@louniece1650 think about the statement you just made for a second. I totally understand that situations like this seem clear as day, that the mother is completely unfit to raise a child. But that has to be a tough job, being the deciding factor to split up a family. Or even worse, not splitting up that family and then the mother does something horrible. It's not always as easy as it seems from the outside.
There's not enough foster families available and if you house kids in institutions, they will be abused and neglected. I am speaking from first hand experience. There are no good options.
I agree. But this was the aunts fault. She wasn't supposed to be there around the child. She said on the 911 call. That she wasn't supposed to be here. So partly cps did there job. They tried to allow the aunt to raise the child but she let her niece stay there anyway.
Robert handled everything so well. I feel so crushed for him and his kids. He had to manage his children, who SAW the horrid scene, and try to ground his mother, who was practically hysterical. I hope he’s able to get as much support as possible.
You have to listen to the whole recording- the dispatcher totally escalated the situation. The poor guy had to tell her in like, five different ways that the baby was beyond rescue, before she finally told him the cops were on route. ( I’ve noticed that since then, more dispatcher get that information to the caller right up front. Because yeah, say that FIRST, then ask a bunch of questions.)
Robert Stuart we love you. we see you. I am also the one who had to make the calls to the cops and hold it together. please take care of yourself, you deserved so much better.

@@ellebell9139 Postpartum Rage, Depression, and Psychosis is a very real thing and the more people deny it, the less knowledge that can be spread on those matters. Everyone's experience is different.
@@ellebell9139 postpartum mental health issues are extremely real. It’s not because of trauma that they occur,though. It’s because of chemical imbalances in the brain caused after birth in some mothers. While in pregnancy, a massive amount of different hormones are going on in the body, but then during birth, and then immediately after birth, those horror, moans and chemicals can go completely out of whack. Serotonin levels or dopamine may drop massively, oxytocin levels may drop massively, and a dozen other chemicals, that I am not clever enough to fully understand, change or rise or shift in a way that can be devastating to the human brain. Many, many women experience postpartum depression. One of my very best friends suffered severe postpartum depression after having her healthy baby boy, who she spent nine months, so excited for. She ended up having to be placed in-patient for almost a week because she became a threat to herself. And the reason for that, is because she found that she did not care about her child at the time that it was a newborn. She said that she saw this precious little person that she had been so excited to meet, and a few days after bringing him home, she felt nothing. And that horrified her, made her feel like an absolutely horrible human and even worse mother. But once she was treated for what was going on, all of those symptoms went away, and she remains one of the most dedicated mothers I have ever met to this day. Postpartum psychosis is thankfully much rarer, but it is unfortunately absolutely real, and it is very poorly understood. Look at the before photos of this woman, and look at her photos at the time of her being interviewed. You can see her mental illness, clearly. This was an extremely ill woman, and an innocent child, that her family and that society failed. She should never have been in a position that she could have done what she did, because, given time and adequate treatment, she likely would have recovered from this, and she may well have become a really wonderful mom. That’s why this type of mental disorder is so devastating: it is very sudden onset, and there is no way of predicting it, and it is very rarely diagnosed, until tragedy strikes. TLDR: don’t let your own suffering and experience cloud the fact that mental illness is real, especially when it comes to women, because that allows cases like this to continue happening.
I love how blunt this detective is. He's just straight up, he isn't being overly nice or overly mean, he just asks straight up questions and points things out when the answers are clearly incorrect. I love this interrogation.
It's such a dirty work though, let's be real. Dirty as in the same way an attorney's work is dirty. Or it's better if I say "not honest work". The detective's breakthrough moment was when he said James had asked to talk to her, James said he was the only one that could get through to her and her family still loved her and worried about her. What if ALL THAT is something this detective doesn't actually know and it's another interrogation tactic? I can't say I appreciate anybody doing such manipulations, Beano. Can you? You know, I'm far from religious but if there's something akin to hell in the afterlife, that guy might be heading there as well.
@@kinsey7298 you don't get it, if they became combative and served their intentions then they run the risk of her shutting down. Do you really think they wanted to be nice? They were lying when they basically told her good people can harm babies. When you see detectives being friendly with the likes of Edmund Kemper, sharing meals with Todd Kohlhepp, or asking someone like Nick Browning if he wants anything, they are building rapport. If they served only their feelings, they'd never get confessions or answers.
I'd pretty much agree that this is fucked up regardless of how reasonable he manages to sound. Fact is, she refused to talk to the police (literally, not talking is refusing to talk) and they interrogated her for six hours instead of getting her a lawyer. You don't have rights unless you say the magic words. It's ridiculous.
This is just too heartbreaking and disturbing. I Can’t help but disagree with the sentencing, I believe she deserves life in a psychiatric ward. I’m no psychologist but if someone can explain in justify her state mind. My god, I can’t understand the law process that allow 15 years to life with a chance of parole.
I feel ZERO sympathy for Deborah. You didn't just fail to follow instructions intended for the safety of the baby, you were willing to leave an unmedicated Deasia unattended with the baby.
And her “sobs” are pure theater + fear of incarceration (as she said on the 911 call)! She clearly didn’t care about the baby either, because she failed to protect her despite volunteering to do so, she failed to keep the psychotic “mother” away from her, she was sleeping while the murder occurred, and her first realization while on the phone with dispatch was “I’m gonna go to jail” rather than vocalizing her concern for the child! Also, again, her “crying” was an act for the most part! End of story!!!!
I wonder if she wa charged? It is her fault! And also the doctors. She was obviously dangerous to the baby but they did not hospitalize and treat her properly.
6:06 the change in her voice when she said "she ain't supposed to be here Robert" and when she started sobbing hysterically when the dispatcher spoke is just mind blowing.
She wanted people to feel pity for her. But she is to blame as well. She allowed that woman in her house after she promised the courts she wouldn't. I can not and will not feel sorry for her ass.
I don't know because I've never been in that traumatizing situation, but maybe she saw the baby after Robert got her in the kitchen, confused, in disbelief or knowing she( herself) was asleep and now dreaming before actually coming to the realization once she heard the dispatcher saying "911" either way, I see the dispatchers point but even in a soft tone (my psychology experience with a master's degree) would state the operator was being either subconsciously or knowingly argumentive. In this case of call this would be inappropriate. But, I don't know any of their mindset🤷🏽♀️
@@staceybowden6574 - Sorry but the operator was trying to figure out what was going on and didn't have time to deal with Deborah's theatrics. She wasn't being argumentative. She was trying to get ahold of the situation I'm sure, especially considering that s knowing that a baby was brutally murdered was pretty horrible but it seems as tho Deborah was more concerned for herself than what was actually happening. She knew she was at fault. She knew that, while she didn't actually murder that baby, she definitely had a MAJOR hand in it.
@@sassy-savvy the baby was already gone. She was saying she was going to jail cause she felt responsible for the death, considering the fact the mother wasn’t allowed around the baby at all.
My partner had postpartum psychosis with our first born, she would have really bad thoughts about hurting him and kept telling me to take him away. Her mindset really wasn’t good, she could not sleep and had voices in her head and hallucinations. Luckily there was space in a mother and baby unit (Basically a mental hospital for new mothers) she gradually got better and was released after 2 months. Not something I ever want to go through again, postpartum psychosis really is awful and can make you do crazy things if not treated correctly and swiftly. It is unfortunate that a lot of people do not know how to deal with it. Deasia's blank stares in the first interview is something I was very familiar with. All is very well with us now and have long forgotten this incident.
i know what she did was unspeakable, but people are being so inconsiderate, yes, she killed her baby, and thats unacceptable, but that shits real, and ive seen it first hand. my mom was pregnant 12 (maybe more) times, and what it does to a person is insane. its really hard to grasp how they can be loving and fine one second and want to harm or kill the baby the next second. its a struggle. i hope baby janiyah rests in peace, and i hope deasia gets the help she needs. ive never experienced it first hand, so i cant say i completely understand, but from what my family has told me, and what ive seen with my own eyes, my mom had it happen to her more than once, and that it was absolute hell to help with and deal with for both parties. i feel bad for everyone.
@@shr0om1ez I never realized till I had my first baby just how much havoc pregnancy and birth can wreak on the body. Nobody really ever talks about the darker side of pregnancy. I knew of course that it could be uncomfortable, unpleasant and bring out or worsen certain health problems but didn't know the extent till I was pregnant with my son. My pregnancy was a nightmare and while I didn't have post partum psychosis, I did have severe post partum depression among other pysch symptoms that I had never had before. OCD, intrusive thoughts, paranoia, agoraphobia and panic attacks. I didn't even get into all the physical problems I had and still have even after 8 years. Post partum psychosis and depression are horrible, I feel for any woman who has to go through it. Having a baby is supposed to be an amazing moment in a woman's life, and its awful that these types of ailments exist :/
Omg, this grandmother's cries made me feel sick. This situation was beyond awful. People need to take mental health seriously, and families need to be ok with saying no if they are not able to help family struggling. God bless this family 😢.
One of the most disturbing details was robert's young daughter found the baby first. What a horrible thing to have burnt into your memories at such a young age and knowing your grandmother was responsible.
@@bmell1252 yea but she was told specifically NOT to have her in that house and she let her in because “she’s tired and had fostered kids her whole life”?!
@@bmell1252 it was entirely her fault, her daughter had post partum psychosis and she knew she wasn’t supposed to be with the baby so yeah, Deborah being a moron is the reason the baby is dead.

Robert is one hell of a man. You can tell he’s the glue that held that family together. I just hate to think of the terrible things he must have seen and gone through in his life to be able to keep it together while dealing with what he saw in that kitchen, what his children saw and what his mother saw. It could be argued he went through the most trauma (besides the baby) that day yet he was the only one able to keep his wits about him and get the right things in motion to move forward after what his cousin did.
i agree with you in saying he pretty much went thru the most trauma of anybody in that situation, as a son, cousin, father and human. so sad and i hope he and his kids are well.
The mother crying was aggravating tf outta me. I applaud her son for how he handled everything. One look at Deasia and you can tell she shouldn’t be anywhere near a child. Smh R.I.H Janiyah
@@Kjillkiindhdi idk why people getting mad at me. I’m asking because I want to see the gravity of the situation. It probably does sound weird but it’s hard to see how evil the mom is when it’s blurry you know
Robert was amazing. Not only did he witness the outcome of a brutal murder, he also witnessed his kids witness it, and still stayed so strong throughout. I hope that Robert and his kids get any help they need
A buddy of mine responded to this scene (EMS). He has such bad PTSD that he had to quit his job and is struggling day to day. I can only imagine what Robert and his kids are going through mentally.
@@michaelwoodall9295 Man that’s so messed up. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve heard something like this. I was working as a laborer for a pipe surveying company & a new guy started. He said he’d just left a job at the coroners office or whoever goes to retrieve the bodies & put them in the bags to transports them. He was only working there for about 2 weeks when they were called to pick up the body of an infant/toddler & it really fucked him up. Usually they’ll have at least 2 guys come to carry out the bodies. But he said he remembers holding the baby’s lil body bag in his arms carrying them to the van by himself. He said he was never the same. He quit the next day. And they made pretty good money.
He really was amazing . I don’t like how that monotone , obnoxious dispatcher talked to him . She needs retraining asking the same stupid questions he answered for her several times
@@groberts80 the dispatcher was great actually. That's what they're trained to do, and yes re asking questions is standard to make sure you have a clear view on the situation. Emergency Services need to know what they're walking into.
@@Bl4ckD0g nope she was terrible and needs more training . She kept asking the same thing over again and bitchy so no she needs to find a new job . Maybe with her rudeness McDonald’s is more suitable for her lol
Jesus, I hope Robert's child who first found the baby is able to work through such a trauma. Robert is a fantastic father for ushering his children out of the house. I've heard cases where people just let the kids stay at the scene, despite being advised to remove the children. Robert's an outstanding example of how to handle this type of situation. I hope he and his children are get through this with the best possible outcome for a circumstance like this.
Deasia doesn’t need prison. She needs mental health care, long-term psychiatric inpatient care followed by monitored residential (still confined) care. Debora needs prison. Robert needs a medal.
Yeah a lot of people are very harsh to Deasia about 'only' getting 13 years even though she completely lost touch with reality. Deborah however definitely bears responsibility in this. She let Deasia have contact, she didn't even make sure she took her medication. I feel like she not only let Janiyah down, but also Deasia even though she's the killer, she never needed to be one
I agree. The guilt of what Deasia did will haunt her for the rest of her life (I know from my own post partum psychosis experience). She needs mental health care not prison.
A woman suffering from postpartum psychosis should NEVER have been given the baby she tried to kill IN FRONT OF THE COPS!! The justice system failed that sweet baby girl!
As did the aunt imho. Who, voluntarily took legal custody AND made legal promises to NOT allow the mother to be around the child (let alone LIVE with her & care for her, unsupervised) . I mean, if not for the aunt's irresponsibility..... this could not & would not have been able to happen. :( That poor baby was failed by many.
Man, despite such an absolutely soul-wrenching scenario, props to Robert for being level-headed the whole time; it takes huge strength of character to experience something like that and still be able to function at all, let alone do what's needed
@@busdriverguy Brother, a baby being beaten, stabbed, then beheaded with a knife isn't something that happens often even in war zones. The guy is solid.
Some things in life are so sickening they are what inspire horror movies. As beautiful and serene as life can be, it can also be the most horrendous, horrific, sickening thing ever. Not a lot of people consider that.
Post-partum psychosis needs to be closely monitored. Any woman who suffers from it and is discovered to be lying about taking the medicine shouldn’t be anywhere near their children.
I don't think it's that simple. First medical staff have their hands tied with how long they can have a psych hold. Second when you release a patient you can't be make them be compliant with taking their meds. You can try to leave that in the hands of a relative or friend but that's no guarantee that they can do it, or that they will ask for help for fear of having the person turn against them.
@@vitalucas9452 It's not about making them take their meds. Its about not letting them near the kids. They have every right to not take their meds. But the proper authorities should have just as many rights as to take the child from the uncompliant mother
@Vita Lucas I have my own mental health history, nothing this crazy, but when I only threatened my own life I had a week long grippy sock vacation, I'm surprised that after she almost killed her child they didn't put her in a more intensive inpatient facility, but that just really comes back to the lack of Healthcare in this country
@@BAgee-lw9ct There is a definite shortage of medical care professionals. There can actually be empty beds and not enough staff to keep treating people.
The utmost respect goes out to Robert for how he handled everything, He was able to be calm and collected where most people would be in shock, and he even called out his mom for being selfish saying they might as well kill her because she cant handle all this. Robert is more of a man than 90% of this world will ever be. Props to you Robert.
Robert is definitely more of a man than most now a days. I don't know if I would have been able to keep myself as collected as he did during this brutal situation.
He handled it well but saying to someone in extreme distress that they're being selfish is unhelpful and nonsensical. We need to realize that people in those kinds of situations aren't always able to control their feelings. Being able to keep it together could be a sign of strength, indifference, or a combination of both.
@@anethernotice how she’s only in distress because she was in the presence of the police and was worried she’d get punished. When she was talking to Robert at the very start of the 911 call she was actually calm and saying “she’s not supposed to be here Robert”. Talking about deaisha. Then the waterworks (basically a performance) started as a way to seem completely innocent in this situation. She was was more concerned about herself than that baby and the fact she let that psychotic mother be there is disgusting.
Aunty Deborah needs to be charged as well for allowing her anywhere near that baby… she knew better and lied to the court that she’d take care of her and not let the mother see the child… so yes, both should go to prison.
It obvious the kid did it to themselves the knife was in their hand after all. I feel bad for finding humor in this but when she said I put it in her hand to make it look like she did it lol, that's so crazy the baby wasn't even a year old wtf smh.
@@5milemacc737onestly that, its so absurd to think “if i pit the knife in the babies hand, they’ll think it was the baby who commit suicide” she needs extreme mental health help
I hope that young child was able to go to therapy. Heck, I hope the aunts son and his kids all got therapy. That is something you can’t unsee and it will never leave you. I saw a horrific scene involving my family member at 4 years old and I have never forgotten it. It’s my very first memory in life being only 4 years old. I’m 51 now and still have nightmares. Back then they didn’t put you into treatment for PTSD. They should have!!
@@kriztalynn i thought the son had no idea anything was wrong to that degree? maybe i’m mistaken but i thought he didn’t know & his kids ran in like it was a normal
My wife went through PPP after giving birth to our first. She was perfectly fine before without any mental issue but the moment her hormones dropped, some wires in her brain got crossed and she literally said "I'm going crazy". There was delusions, lack of sleep, manic, bipolar. It was a tough year for us but she stuck to the psychiatrist treatment and finally got back to herself around a year later. This is case is really tragic..
I was on the border of this. The delusions started and I immediately got help. It’s really scary. I have a hard time with this case because she didn’t even try to help herself. Or seemed to not want to.
You sticking by her and helping her through that time was a tremendous help. Trust me without family understanding and support, it only makes things worst. I can truly admit that if my husband didn’t take the time to notice that things weren’t right and help me through ppp after our first child, I’m not sure I would have been able to do it alone while trying to raise our baby. Some of the things he told me, that I was saying and doing, I can’t remember up until this day. It was frightening. By the time we had our second daughter 10 yrs later, we had preventative measures in place just in case I ended up suffering from ppp again, and fortunately those measures we had in place helped both of us.
I feel so bad for Robert’s child that went to the kitchen and was the first one to notice that horrific scene of the poor baby girl… Hopefully she/he gets over that and can forget about it, what a SAD and heartbreaking story…😢💔
The crying shit Deborah did when she first walked into the interrogation room is the same type of shit my grandmother would pull when she wanted people to feel sorry for her and not blame her for her own wrongdoings
Robert has to be one of the most calm and strong people I have ever seen. The way he spoke to his mother crying incoherently in the room was chilling, "stop being selfish" was for real what I was thinking as well. If you didn't want the baby to be harmed then why ever allow for her abusive and sick mother to be allowed to live in your home? You could've spoke to officers about your current state on how you were doing mentally and how you were incapable of not being able to take care of a child. So many things would've been avoided. Rest in peace Janiyah, you deserved so much better than what you were given.
This woman was ONE MILLION percent mentally disturbed and never ever should have been left alone with an infant. The hospitals/doctors/CPS failed that baby.
The kid has me impressed with how well he communicated under such insane circumstances, and the way he refused to re-enter the home seemed like a master class in boundary setting. What an awful case!
@@pattycarljackson Kid or adult, doesn't matter in this context. Anyone being able to handle such a horrific scene in such a calm and collected way is impressive.
@@joshua7233it matters because you straight up called him a kid when he’s a grown adult with children. Making the distinction between an adults ability to cope and a kids is what YOU did. He’s not a kid, he’s an adult.
@@nala7658 don't see any post that makes a distinction between an adults ability and a kids ability to handle it unless someone deleted their comments
The difference between the first attempt at interrogation vs the second attempt after being admitted to a hospital makes it clear that she 100% did not take her medication on the day of the murder. when she was silent on the first attempt, I think she might have still been going through an episode as she seems incredibly dissociated. I hope Robert was able to seek help as that must have been incredibly traumatizing. I can't believe his mother allowed the visitations. I hope Robert is okay and the family has been able to recover. Rest in peace Janiyah
I agree that she was still heavily dissociated when they tried the first interview which is clearly shown by her glass eyed look. She saw people but didn't register anything about what they were saying. It was also evident with how easily they detained her and got her to stand up for the pictures.
@@whyamihere523that's what i was about to comment. and on top of that why agree to get custody then turn around and say i don't want to raise anyone else's kids smh
It takes weeks to months to get someone's medications stabilized. This was a failing of the psychiatrist who released her after only a few days in the hospital. I've worked in acute psychiatric care and people who came in on a 72 hour hold usually stayed for weeks until they were stabilized on their medications. She should never have been released until she was out of her psychosis.
It’s ridiculous right? She said she felt bad and didn’t want her to go into the system, selfish because she only cared about her guilty feelings, I hope Debora has nightmares everyday about this
The Aunt screaming she’s going to jail instead of screaming about her grand niece shows you who she really cared about. You’re looking at your own flesh and blood in the worst possible scenario and you can only think about how it’s gonna negatively impact your life.
Exactly and her wailing for someone to help HER despite her son telling her what about the baby and him and the other kids. What a piece of work. He told her she's being selfish and she said "No I'm not!" And then continued to ask what about ME?? How disgusting
Poverty stricken members of society thrive off of narcissistic, selfish acts usually accompanied with drugs and alcohol.... Her hootin and wailing is normal behavior believe it or not. I used to do public work for 10 years thinking I could make an actual difference, even if it just was for a couple souls.... They don't want help. They want YOU to SERVE Them. It was always so easy for them to come up with absolutely convincing lies. They're truly masters of manipulation.... I got the hell out of the city, bought 30 acres out in the middle of the woods near the Appalachian and now serve God...
She knew she did wrong by leaving the little baby with the mother and was probably scared of getting punished. The cries were pure selfishness... shame on her... for a second i thought she was the killer. This could have been prevented!!! The old lady was not able to care for a young baby... so sad...
Honestly, I'm not going to hold that against her. That child has only been in her care for maybe a little over a week I think (March 6-March 15) so she hasn't even developed that much of an emotional attachment to the baby. So her first instinctual reaction to the death of the little baby made sense. Blood relation has very little to do with the level of love she would have for the baby in this case if she's only known it for a short while. What does make her the asshole is the fact that she accepted the role of looking after the baby when she knows she's been dealing with health problems and personal problems that could affect the level of care the baby receives. She didn't take seriously the fact that her niece was going through a scary medical illness and let her have access to the baby because she couldn't handle looking after the baby by herself. She was incredibly irresponsible which led to the death of an innocent baby. I'm not done watching the whole video but I wouldn't be shocked if she was charged for negligence because her actions are a prime example of that. Edit: Oh god, I'm shaking my head at the family. Cindy, Debora's niece and Deasia's sister, was the one who took charge and said the baby needed to stay with the family and knew that Debora was reluctant to take the baby in. I'm side eying her to the extreme right now. And now that I think about it, Deasia has been staying with Debora even before she got temporary custody of the baby. And no one in the family thought this was an issue? This whole family needs to self-reflect on themselves. LOL, Cindy is talking to the investigator about how Deasia isn't allowed around the baby in such a calm voice as if this whole thing has nothing to do with her. I'm okay with Debora crying her eyes out because it sounds like the guilt is eating her up inside but damn, Cindy is acting so cold blooded about this whole thing. She's got blood on her hands too. She's the one who said she'd pitch in and help and she's been in the know about Deasia staying with Debora too. I'm speechless. I'm not sure how I feel about Deasia trying to shift the blame of who killed Janiyah. On one hand, I know she's been diagnosed with Post Partum Psychosis but after treatment and what looks to be a very sober mind, she's trying deflect responsibility of what happened to her baby. All the evidence pointed to her and her immediate response is "I didn't do it" and that her aunt did it. She didn't even need to blame her aunt here, she could have just said I don't know what happened. She pointed the finger to someone who took her in when she was at her lowest. It doesn't really reflect well on her. If she had any love left for her daughter, she owes it to her to tell the truth instead of running away from it. Holy crap, just got to the part where Deasia confessed to what happened. It made me feel sick. Considering how she was able to remember the gruesome details of what occurred, it's clear she didn't want to take responsibility of what she did and tried to blame her aunt for it. So all those denials before of saying she can't have done it and that her aunt did it and how she just doesn't know... she knew this whole time. It's one thing to acknowledge she wasn't in her right mind during the act of committing the crime, but after the fact? After getting sobered up and trying to push the blame on someone else when she knew she was the one who did it... if the police didn't have damning evidence on her, would she have admitted to it? It's a scary thought.
Deasia reminds me so much of many patients I worked with. I had one who was actually a social worker. She was really unwell, and it took weeks trying to bring her back. Eventually, she remembered that she'd had a child and kept crying for it. Bloody killed me
It reminds me of one of the girls who committed the Slenderman stabbing of her best friend. This girl turned out to have full blown schizophrenia, and when she was treated properly instead of being paraded around for the media and police to abuse, she realized what she had done and wanted to kill herself. I can't imagine "waking up" and realizing that I'd almost killed my best friend. Horrifying.
@user-px7xp6rw7c although I hate organized religion, it was post partum psychosis that did that to her. One of the worst diagnosis for a mother possible.
The way she so calmly said “she’s not suppose to be here” until she realized 911 picked up and then immediately turned on the water works. I dunno, seems fishy to me. Why do family members insist on having custody when they know they can’t handle it? And why on earth would she allow her abusive, mentally ill mother anywhere near her? I’m so tired of people putting kids in blatant danger
As someone who works in child welfare, you'd be heartbroken to know how much this happens. Families think they know better and it's not fair to the family member meanwhile the kid is in extreme danger. It's insane.
- That poor poor baby. Hearing that confession gave me chills. Postpartum is something that needs to be taken seriously, this isn’t the first story I’ve heard of a mother killing her newborn baby😢
@@slavbrav69exactly. It is self centered women that suddenly realize it's not going to be fun raising a kid. They blame the kid for taking away their care free life.
@@slavbrav69this entire case is show his it’s not taken seriously. She should have been admitted to a psychiatric institution not go home with her baby.
postpartum psychosis is one of the scariest things to me, I know some people fake it but just the fact that it can happen to totally normal women is so scary and sad
Yes it is. I had it and it literally takes your sanity away. Hallucinations, delusions, rages, completely insane. It takes so much to come out of it. Months of treatment and I am just now able to return to my sanity. It is so much worse than people think.
I feel bad for Robert’s little kid that had to see that scene first. Even a grown man could not force himself to describe it. I hope that kid got therapy and help along with anyone who arrived on scene. Such an unfortunate case that could have been prevented by a better system.
This whole thing upsets me. She refers to her great grand niece as "it" after she was murdered. Then her first thing to cry about was "help me! I'm going to jail." Not "oh my god my grand daughter is gone"
it was a 7 week old baby that wasnt hers. she wouldnt have much time to grow much affection for it. being worried about your life being ruined is a reasonable thing to panic about
She should have called the authorities and say taking care of the baby was too much. She tried to be the saviour and healer; save the baby from foster care and hoping her good deed would heal DeAsia.
@@WobblesandBean Its so easy to judge from across the world, comfy sitting in front of a computer, with no idea of the circumstances she was having to deal with. She clearly was trying to do the right thing.
No, the aunt new she wasn't right in the mind atm. She is just as much to blame. She knew the conditions and she ignored them. Not to mention, she's crying and freaking out because she's going to jail, as she states herself, NOT because an infant's head was just smashed in on her kitchen counter. She did not care for that baby enough and she allowed that to happen to the baby by being absent. Of course the mother was to blame for the death but if she were monitored and gotten the help she needed (like being monitored to take her meds), that baby would most likely be alive and well today.
@@MuttVA You clearly have never dealt with a mentally ill person. You can LITERALLY put the pill in their mouth, watch them swallow it, and still you wont know if they did. They can hide it under their tongue, or even try and retch it back up. Mentally ill people are capable of anything. And I guess we watched a different video. While she did mention jail, 80% of her cries were about the baby, and poor thing, and its my fault, and I cant live with this. Yeah. She knew the mother was not supposed to have contact, but she thought she was doing the right thing. Maybe she needed help, she couldnt handle her life and the baby which wasnt hers. Judgyjudgy.
When the detectives said they had to step out for a minute after she finally spilled the truth, I could tell they really needed a minute to collect themselves despite what they told her. I applaud them for maintaining that level of composure during that time 'cause I could hear the underlying horror in their voices as they were gathering up the paperwork.
Debora's breakdown likely comes from the fact she knows she fucked up by letting Deasia in the home, I understand she was overwhelmed but she knowingly endangered the child by doing so. I feel for Robert and his children, he clearly has had to deal with his mother a LOT, and his children witnessing that poor baby is just...horrific, no child should have that image burned into their mind.
They should have given that child to her father, but instead they refused to put his name on the birth certificate because his drivers license was expired?? How effing ridiculous is that?
she let dede in the home before she took custody of the baby SHE FUCKED UP WHEN SHE HANDED THE BABY TO THE MOTHER WHO WAS COURT ORDERED NO CONTACT SO SHE COULD LAY DOWN WITH EYE PAIN. SHE FUCKED UP WHEN SHE TOOK THE BABY AT ALL
I appreciate how aware/informed most of these comments are on postpartum psychosis. It’s really an unfortunate situation. I feel bad for mama and baby.
She didn't, and it all could have been avoided if mental health was more available to everyone. And actually funded. Then more care could have been given to stop this before it happened.
I’ve heard of postpartum psychosis, but until this case, I had no idea how extreme it could be! She was damn near catatonic day 1. She’s clearly medicated in the second interview. The aunt is distraught. I can appreciate u not wanting your family to go into foster care, but given her mother’s condition, her father’s inability to immediately take custody and the aunt’s health, that poor baby woulda been better off…at least until better and safer arrangements could be made. The mother should have NEVER been near that child - especially when refusing her own medication. Horrible.
Yeah, postpartum psychosis is scary. Others have shared their stories in the comments and I honnestly feel for them. We need to be more educated on this, it can happen to anybody, regardless of one's family's mental health history and the consequences are so horrible... Maybe the people involved would have made better choices... I agree that the baby should have gone to foster care directly. Someone unrelated to the mother would have been way less likely to give in and let her approach her baby.
The aunt crying for herself not that baby. The blood is on her hands had she upheld her commitment, that baby wouldn’t have had to endure such a horrible death. RIP baby girl 💖🙏🏾
🔊 EMERGENCY OPERATORS SHOULD BE PROPERLY TRAINED! I am soooo sick of listening to these 911 operators being rude or dismissive when they are clearly being told what is happening! I understood what the man was saying IMMEDIATELY! ( I personally had to address the 911 operator on the phone when I got into my car accident. Told him to stop being rude to the lady SAVING MY LIFE! )
Ma'am ma'am ma'am.... Just calm their minds by letting the person know help is on the way. So they can focus on what you're actually asking. What's the gender? WTFFFFF??
I've watched hundreds of videos on this channel but this one really got me. My soul left my body when she described what she did to that baby in such a sinister way. Robert is a hero a TRUE hero.
That was a true reaction she doesn’t want to go to jail, she didn’t kill the baby, but she probably thought she was doing the right thing to let her spend time with the baby
I absolutely understand what you mean. I was horrified listening to her flippantly describe everything she did to the baby, and then to say she didn't feel bad or regret it. The detective said there was a difference between bad people and people who make bad mistakes. None of what she did to that baby was a good person making a bad mistake. She's evil AF, and she was likely possessed. The thumbnail would have me think the latter. You see how she looked in her professional photo as compared to how she looked after the murder. She didn't even look like herself anymore! This was equally as terrifying as it was gut-wrenching. Poor sweet Janiyah.
I actually regretted watching this one. Got me in a way none of the other videos have. Just heartbreakingly tragic, and shocking to the core. Denied life, she's resting in peace now in the loving arms of the Lord.❤
I am a father of four and I don't believe I would be able to keep myself from doing her harm. That young man showed more restraint than I'd be able to all this on top of trying to console his mother and shield his children from further trauma. This man is worthy of all the respect
The way he reacted on the 911 call too. Not wanting to go back to the scene of the crime for fear of messing anything up. I would have been all over the place if that had been me. What a strong man.
I understand and agree with you. I just became a dad last year. I would hurt or kill anyone that would try to harm my daughter. This almost brought me to tears hearing the mother confess to brutally killing a newborn. A little innocent baby that was counting on her to protect her and raise her. This is so so sad man.
I agree, he seems like a good guy. So unfortunate that he's stuck with this idiot of a mother. This could all have been avoided if she had followed the rules she had agreed to 🤦♀️
This is why we should have mandatory competency twsts for people whom wanna be parents. If we have licenses for trades, travel, commerce, driving, huntimg, etc we should have the same for parenting.
First off, "Aunt Debbie" knew she was taking on too much by fostering the baby, but she still did it. She knew the mother of the baby was not to be around her, but she still allowed it. It's not like the mom showed up at her house unexpectedly either, the Aunt went and helped her get her things together, brought her back to her home and gave her a bedroom. Remember this too, the baby's crib WAS IN THE MOTHER'S BEDROOM. Also, the Aunt stated she couldn't do it on her own, she had already raised her own children and didn't want to have to raise someone else's baby. When the Aunt came into the interrogation room freaking out, screaming how it was her fault, she was going to jail, she knew, and it was clear at that point, that she violated the orders to not allow the mother to be around the baby, but she not only allowed her near her, she moved her into her home with the baby AND the crib was in the mother's bedroom. Aunt Debbie said it was her fault and she was going to jail because she clearly was well aware that she violated the orders and agreement and, sadly, is also partially responsible for the baby's brutal murder.
Oh I think she’s completely responsible - mom was not capable of making sane decisions and her aunt was told by a damn court not to let her near the baby. She’s the entire reason the baby is dead. Yeah I know mom did the deed…but you can’t expect someone suffering from psychosis to not do psychotic things!
CPS pretty much insisted the Aunt take on the,baby,she was in i’ll health ,so should not of had CPs insist she took on the baby ,then give her no help or support . It is stated that due to her physical illness she was reluctant too take on the baby,. I’ll bet CPS wasn’t giving the aunt was financial aid or given so she pay for help. The aunt Was i’ll and left to cope alone ,offered the right aid,she would would probably not of had the mother their. It seems that the mother in the delusion of post partial illness the mother believed the baby was an incarnate demon so she killed here . The whole tragedy could have been avoided with plenty of help in caring for her nieces baby girl . Just another case of CPS not doing the right thing . She should have been in care of her brother ,who is wonderful father,if he had her she would still be alive . F***ked up that he wasn’t given the chance to look after her .
I feel like this is one of tho o not my baby girl she could do no wrong type of think I like to call it mother blindness were most mothers cant believe there kid can do something wrong.
@@BookishDark most people are not trained on how to deal with relatives suffering from psychosis and would never foresee this kind of horror, a lot of people take mental illness lightly and aren’t able to grasp how fast things can escalate until something absolutely horrible happens, like in this unfortunate tragedy. I’m sure she already has to live with this guilt everyday without having random commenters online blaming her for causing this horrific murder. My heart goes out to her as I hope she is able to forgive herself for her mistakes and find the strength to move on from this all.
She was definitely responsible for the demise of that child, she knowingly let her niece with clear mental health issues be with the baby. She sat there and helped her be close to the baby, she should be sentenced as well for disobeying orders and basically assisting in this poor child’s death.
Im literally crying the way she explained how she tried to kill her and how she finally killed her is disgusting i can’t believe what that poor baby had to go through
"That poor baby...somebody help _me."_ The only thing she's thinking about is herself. The fake crying, the hysterics, all when she was completely calm prior to speaking to the police.
@@KitsuneRokaku THE MOTHER BASICALLY GOT NOTHING WHATSOEVER OF A SENTENCE IM NOT SURPRISED AT ALL THE AUNT WASN'T HELD RESPONSABLE. 13 YEARS?? REALLY? MY GOD! MY GOD!
It could have been shock at first. Honestly I think the hysterics are real but it’s bcuz deep down she feels so much guilt for not protecting that child from her mother. People will be so in denial of their reality sometimes it ends in tragedy bcuz they fail to act
@@clairealley4739 Nah, the dispatcher put her on blast. She said the aunt was just talking normal and then she started crying once she heard the dispatcher on the line. The aunt caused this and should've been jailed.
Parole after 13 YEARS?!?!? That is absolutely insane, this woman beat and stabbed her little baby girl TO DEATH, decapitated her, and doesnt feel bad about it- and she can get parole in 13 years? This sentence is infuriating and disrespectful to Jeniah!! Wow. Ive seen a man get 180 years for a few grams of dope. This woman should never be free again...
crazy thing is they saw all the signs from the mother.. the aunt even knew about the order and yet she still allowed the mother to move in these people are so idiotic then wants to cry like a 3 year old kid saying might as well kill me too yes you caused this. bless robert and his children no one should see an innocent baby as they did. No remorse people like that are sick in the mind.
I’m so *angry* towards Aunt Debora! Her theatrical crying and weeping when she KNEW 1) it was too much for her to be a caretaker for her nieces and 2) allowing Deasia to be around her daughter when she’s not taking her meds. Her calm tone on the 911 call before she put on the “show” of being unable to talk and her goat-sounding “sobbing” in the interrogation room pissed me off.
Yep - she brought this shit on herself by not following the rules laid out by the court, because she thought she knew better. Fucking idiot. And then moaning like a shot wildebeest - Honestly wish someone would have moved her out of the room, she clearly wasn't contributing to anything.
I agree. They went Easy on the situation, also if you get high or use drugs inside the house. They smoked cannabis in the appartament and nobody seems to notice that detail. Cannabis could have been normalized and legalized but It still gets you Crazy and high, Crazy High people are not fit to take care of a pet, especially of a child. plus if you Smoke drugs In in the appartament whoever lover there Will get high as well. Nobody gives importance to this.
@@darkmoollll7703 agree. The social services could have done Better to save the kid, but this doesn't take any blame away from her. I Heard that she's going to spend less time than She should in prison
@@Adianodelih Someone that apathetic, even towards their own situation, is clearly not okay. Yes, she deserves a longer prison sentence but she's unwell also.
This case is absoloutley horrible, and i cannot believe how much trauma everyone got from seeing the poor baby on the counter, especially Robert's daughter and at such a young age. I've never wittnessed something that bad and can't even imagine it, my heart goes out to every affected by this case
The kid will be fine. I've seen something gruesome like that when i was a small child myself. Children often bounce back from stuff like that better than adults or slightly older children do. Often best to just go on with life and don't remind them too much about it. Depending on the child's age, they will simply move forward without any therapy needed. They live far more in the moment than adults do. Her father seems like a stable responsible adult. He knows when to ask for help if she develops problems.
@@benanders4412 I found my aunts body after her husband shot her in the head when I was 5 years old and I had night terrors until I was almost 25. I spend a lot of my childhood in therapy and from one medication to the next and nothing helped. I ended up strung out on drugs from 18 To 24 just to block it out of my head as much as possible. It took a lot of therapy and rehab just to be a functioning adult and I still have the nightmares occasionally. So everyone is different and I have a hard Time believing a kid finding a headless mutilated baby won't have any lasting effects from it.
Robert is living proof that you can still become a decent person after growing up surrounded by chaos. His poise considering the situation was very impressive. 🙏'ing 4u & your fam big dawg!!!
When social workers and psychologists say that someone shouldn’t be around someone, the family needs to cooperate. This is what happens when people don’t listen. It’s sickening and depressing that this baby has suffered something so disgusting. Deasia is sick.
The court should have done a better job of looking into who they give care of a child to some one without doing. A complete background If you need to do a 9 year background to work for the gov it should be even more strick for adoptions for kids
@@BobThebuilder-nq5rx a background check wouldn't have done anything here. A family member was given temporary custody of a baby until the mother was well enough to resume raising them, this is fairly common. The aunt ignoring orders and letting the mother come around was stupid, but not something that could have been predicted. It's unfortunately very common for family members to ignore psychologists when they say that someone is too dangerous to be around someone else, they don't want to believe it.
@@BobThebuilder-nq5rxthe court can only do so much. Us black families need to take mental health and mental illness more seriously. Ppl suffering from it don’t deserve prison.
It’s been written countless times but Robert really is Him. Held it together in the one of the most horrific and heinous things anyone could experience. You could really hear so much sorrow in his voice. I hope he’s being given significant therapy after this.
💯💯 then her dam histrionics & bs over the top crying at the police station...like bish you deserve to go to jail. Despite the court ordered agreement made good ole Aunt Debbie let this wacko in the house. She needs to suffer the consequences for the lunacy of her position for breaking the courr order. My heart bleeds for Janiyah, James, Robert, of course, and his children. Brokedown system needs an overhaul. Will snatch a child or children who aren't in harms way & the ones who are pay in the WORST ways imaginable. Sleep in God's Eternal Care Sweet Angel Janiyah. You are safe now baby 🕊🙏💝🕊🙏💝🧸🧸
How did the aunt not get charged with something after lying to CPS about the baby's mom staying there? That honestly could have avoided that poor baby's death. So incredibly disturbing and sad.
I don't know she was partially at fault, in my opinion, and purely out of laziness. She could have told someone she wasn't up to taking care of the baby, and they would have found her a different home.
I’m saying the same thing. If the aunt didn’t let the mother there the baby would still be alive. I’m shocked she didn’t get charged too. The aunt plays a big part for that baby’s death.
I'm sure the aunt felt really guilty about letting the mother be alone with the baby after the fact BUT I wholeheartedly believe all of the "hysterical" crying/sobbing in the interrogation room and on the 911 call was because she wanted to play victim so she wouldn't be held accountable for allowing her niece around the baby KNOWING she wasn't supposed to be. She even kept screaming "OMG, IM GONNA GO TO JAIL" in the background. Like the 911 dispatcher said, before she realized they were on the line.. Her voice was pretty calm, then she started being hysterical when the lady began talking.. The aunt was more worried for herself! SMH...poor baby girl, she didn't deserve this.😢
Yes very unnatural cry. The quake and break in the cry was obviously performative. When I was young I was at a friends house when her bother suddenly came in saying her grandfather had just died. My friend’s mother suddenly broke down to the floor and cried. Her cries were so impactful and strong. So raw and uncontrollable like the wailing and gasping of a hurt child. Our bodies can tell when it’s fake.
I'm honestly surprised she wasn't charged with something. I take issue with a lot of what CPS does, but even if authorities weren't involved, Debora should've known better than to let DeDe around little Janiyah knowing her history of psychosis and refusing treatment. I think she did feel bad and was just trying to be a good aunt to her niece by giving her a place to live, but when it comes down to it, the baby's welfare was most important. This was totally avoidable. Poor baby girl.
Yeah. The aunt was definitely milking it. But, in her reaction versus the stone cold initial interaction with the mom, shows, weirdly, how an innocent person’s reaction does often contrast the guilty. This show highlights how much criminals gloss over and minimize or deny their involvement versus typical innocents adamantly and angrily refuse blame. Both examples were extreme, but in the same ball park as guilty vs innocent. When I heard the details, though, my own heart went cold. I usually find empathy for postpartum moms. Not this one. She had some support for her depression. Her depression was diagnosed. She let it build up and kept it in to let a simple diaper change become such a heinous breaking point. Her actions were deliberate and ongoing throughout many rooms in the home. This murder sounded more like pure cold hatred rather than trance-like smothering or drowning. None of those scenarios is pleasant. Hers was uncharacteristically brutal. And to then try to frame the aunt? That also doesn’t seem “typical” of postpartum depression.
She wasnt meant to be near the baby for a very good reason, that child died because of the aunts incompetence. As for those hystericsxans fake emotions that was a ploy to try get out of trouble, she should be locked up. As for the mother she is severely mentally ill and needs so much help
I feel the aunt should have had legal action taken against her as well-- her failure to comply with the rules set is ultimately what lead to the death of the baby. I feel terrible for James, Robert, and Robert's children. It's sickening that the aunt's cries were only about herself, and not the baby or her traumatized grandchildren and son.
I don't understand why they put the baby in the care of someone with healthproblems... yes she was family, but come on... wasn't there a better option???
@@tiger1976 I’m guessing you don’t know anything about foster care. There aren’t a lot of foster parents on standby waiting for a child to fall in their lap. A child not placed with family members will likely live in a office for several days until other arrangements are made if not longer
This is absolutely horrific. One of the worst cases ever. Mental illness and the lack of care from the aunt is what caused all this. Its gut wrenching. May that poor baby rest in peace.
Robert is impressive in his handling of the entire situation. I hope that he gets therapy and ongoing support to deal with the trauma he's experienced. I do blame. Deborah, she should never have let the mother in the home. It's very clear that the mother has had a psychotic break and is a danger to everyone around them. And finally, as much as I feel for the mother having had postpartum psychosis myself, her combining medications and trying to get back to her kid, it shows a level of malignant intent that is chilling.
@@TheEmmanuel426 Whether he cared or not isn't the problem. He saw the corpse of a stabbed up baby with a smashed head, imagine just stumbling across that one day. Even if it ain't yours that image is with you forever. That's the kinda thing you'll see for the rest of your life when ever you shut your eyes to go to sleep.
@@TheEmmanuel426 you have no idea how people process traumatic events. He could be in shock. He literally had to take the role of the adult because his kids were there AND his mom was hysterical. Your body forces you to take that position to protect everyone and get control of the situation. Just because he’s not hysterical doesn’t mean that he didn’t care, wtf. What an insane assumption.
@@TheEmmanuel426 why is it so hard for you to fathom some people can just keep a rational train of thought? We all know getting emotional doesn't help anyone, he obviously cares by the attitude he had with the dispatcher, he was getting annoyed she wasn't sending help asap.
Postpartum psychosis is never talked about to expecting mothers. Mothers and their families need to know the signs. They are so obvious. The last case I heard about was a woman who had been hearing voices for 3 days before she killed her baby. Both postpartum depression and psychosis can be so dangerous and needs to be taken seriously and addressed.
After I had my third, I started obsessing about driving my car into a concrete building- even cased out the back of the grocery store..It was all I could think about for days- thank God I told someone and got help. I didn’t want to hurt the baby- just myself. I was a mess and exhausted, taking care of two toddlers and a newborn.
I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with the image of that poor baby in my head. It's bad enough knowing what the child went through. I feel bad for the children that saw it.
To everyone doubting this woman's mental state, you only need to replay the part of the interrogation when the detectives asked why she put the knife in the baby's hand. "So they would think SHE did it (the baby!). AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME, I believe she was completely unhinged. She only seemed "better" in the 2nd interview because of meds they had her on.
I agree, it took her two days on meds and treatment in a psychiatric ward at the hospital to even be responsive in this interview. She still seems dazed and completely numb. I think this woman is mentally ill and had a psychotic episode where she snapped. The sad thing is she showed signs during her pregnancy and after. She wasn't given proper treatment, the family didn't respond till police got involved from the neighbors calling, and the baby wasn't placed in a safe situation outside of the family unit to be away from her mentally unstable mother. Completely horrifying.
@@derikroy5 well, believe it, youre kinda stupid thinking this has to do with any kind of morality or lack thereof. But its easy to dismiss things and just want blind justice.
@@puddles5247 Saying things that aren't based in reality is one of the most obvious and noticeable symptoms of psychosis. The lies she's making up are nonsensical. Since she's medicated, she may understand that she did something wrong, and instinctively try to protect herself, but that doesn't mean she's able to comprehend the entire gravity of her actions. I have a schizophrenic uncle, and have also worked with people in the middle of psychotic episodes. One of the most amazing things is how they can sound entirely rational about some things and then go off on a completely unhinged rant about people poisoning their food and putting microphones in their mattress. Until you've seen it yourself, it's hard to believe, but this is horrifically sad, more than anything. I hold her aunt most accountable for allowing a vulnerable child to be left alone with a woman she KNEW was psychotic and not taking her meds.
She was sick!!! I was working somewhere she was at. Lets just say she had post partum psychosis and I know it is horrible but she has to live with it. She screamed and cried for that baby. I pray no one ever goes through this and no more babies. The system failed her, she got help.
Never thought that I would fall into the “ unsuitable for some viewers “ scene but, that was horrifically hatful, soul crushing story. I can’t stomach any harm to animals,children, and especially babies!
Me too. I didn't listen to the advisory because I can usually handle it. Now I'm crying and feel sick, I'm literally trembling and holding onto my sleeping 4 year old for dear life. I wish I would've changed the video, it was too much, idk I just felt like I had to tell somebody.
@@lonreed9743 me either, I would have probably gone to jail for what I did to that evil excuse for a mother, I hate to even use that word when speaking of this thing
Deborah should have been charged as well. How did she not hear the baby screaming after being thrown at a wall and lamp??? This is utterly disgusting in every way.
She probably heard the baby crying all the time and was able to sleep through it. They also said she was on medicine so that might’ve made her less likely to wake up. Lots of scenarios. I’ve slept through tornados. Don’t blame that lady for doing what she thought was right for mother & child.
The baby might've been dead already after the first blow to the head.. She was only 3 months old after all and they're really fragile.. But I do agree that Deborah should've been charged as well.
The mother said she threw the baby and it wouldn't stop crying, that's when she decided to bang it's head numerous times on the bookshelf and then took it to the kitchen.
Robert is a real adult. How he handles the call, his mother, the whole situation. Hope he copes with life.
He must’ve been the adult from the time he was younger. Robert seemed like he was the type of child that would have to kick Debora in the ass and talk sense into her if she did something wrong.
Why she is worried about going to jail and not over what happened to that poor baby?? These people are sick
She was worried about jail cuz in her eyes she was the reason the baby was dead. The mother was never supposed to be living with the child she was supposed to be supervised with her.
I think sadly, in some way, he knew it would end with the baby dead. Maybe that's why he was so collected when they found it. He probably had hope the courts would give him the baby, that the mom would come to her senses, or something, but knew also how bad it could be..
@@catiabass9287 She's gonna get fucked up reaaaal bad in there 🥳
"The baby is deceased" has to be one of the most chilling things said in an almost perfectly calm manner. Imagine what would have been done if Robert never came in the house that day.
I wholeheartedly believe that if Robert never came home (and this is a theory) Debora would have woken up to Dede and her deceased child and they would have came up with a way to hide the body to cover up their crimes. Absolutely disgusting. I fully believe they would even tried to hide that precious baby and cover it up....
@420mcluvin3 naaw she would of called Robert
@@djharris6822 that is also another theory but the way she immediately cried as the operator started to talk, showed me shes trying to portray an innocent image even when she very clearly put the baby in harms way by violating a HUGE rule of not having the unstable mother around the child. I also noticed how she kept saying "im going to jail" as that was all she was worried about. That also made me feel like she would've tried to cover it up in a fit of anxiety or fear.
@@janessastrachan3682 she had post partum depression, she only had ill intent towards her baby, thus why she separated herself from the rest of the house. Post partum is a VERY complicated condition but 9/10 the mother only tries to harm her offspring.
Where can I see the crime scene photos?
The way Robert responded to his mother’s dramatics & the 911 call says a lot about his maturity. I bet he had to play parent a lot growing up & is a wonderful father to his own kids & all children
forreal, as terrible as this situation is, that man taught me a lesson in patience
And he is
I know the dispatcher had to ask the questions, but goddamn were they tasteless and out of place.
Where is ur lawyer . police can't help telling them ur is all wrong
I feel bad for his one child who was the one who found the dead baby.
Aunt Debbie needs to be prosecuted for child endangerment and breaking the one rule tha could have prevented that baby from losing her life
I most definitely agree with this statement because wow I’m taken back this whole story is just heart wrenching
I agree 100%
Agreed 😢
I hate that she screamed to the 911 operator “omg I’m going to jail”. Debbie was Debbie’s priority. She wasn’t crying for the baby: she was crying for herself.
@@anacarlos exactly if aunt debbie cared about that baby she wuldnt have let her mama see her in the first place
"I put the knife in the baby's hand so it would look like she did it to herself".... is one of the most bizarre, unbelievable, terrifying things I've ever heard.
This is what made me hit stop. Scaryyyy.
that statement right there made me question some things because some people are saying postpartum, but I can't think of anyone who has been in postpartum and thought of doing that. Her statement stated that putting the knife in the baby's hand so it looked like the baby had done it. She knew what she did. It's like she was making sure she was supposedly covering her tracks. so she was having a thought process in her mind.
@@marteeloughren2715 she had postpartum psychosis which is different than just postpartum depression which is msot talked about. not all psychosis is violent but it definitely can get that way, whereas yeah with depression pretty much never.
Even hearing this it’s still so hard to understand postpartum.
Mental illness is definitely "bazaar"... call you intelligent would be bazaar as well
😊
In my opinion Robert did INCREDIBLY well handling the situation and I think that should really be highlighted. He kept calm and made sure everyone important to him were safe and okay
I agree, that poor young man was doing his best, when he said “maw here’s a tissue “ he just wants the chaos to stop 😢I pray he found healing
What else could he do ?
I completely agree with that young man that (in the interrogation room) said she was being selfish by repeatedly asking for help. Yes, it must have been horrific to see but the CHILDREN are the ones who originally found the baby in that shape...what about them and what they need? Also, she is the one who allowed this to happen by letting a known volatile and mentally unwell mother to be in her house when she wasn't legally allowed to be there. Also, the 911 dispatcher was right when she was first on the phone and didn't realize anyone could hear her, she was calm. All of a sudden, once she realized she had an audience, the hysterics kick in. I firmly believe this is all an act to minimize the amount of trouble she's in for not abiding by the legal demands to not allow the mother in her home.
I wonder if the reason Robert handled the situation so well was because he wasn't all that surprised that this happened.
The most morally depraved person is the father who abandoned the child. Don’t abandon or abuse children.
I hope Robert is doing better after this tragedy. The way he handled his mom and the 911 call, he's a real man
Just got to 15:57 when I see your comment
You mean a real adult*. Those are characteristics of a great upstanding citizen and responsible adult. He had to keep his composure through all this madness, not just for himself, but for his entire family. I feel for him. Let's hope he gets the help he needs to deal with his own feelings after this trauma.
I don't know what gave the urge for the dispatcher at such a traumatizing or urgent need for help to say " ok is it a boy or a girl " while there litterally dead wth u expect someone to talk calmly while there's A 3 MONTH OLD DEAD BABY ..
@@Jozz. those characteristics, while not unique to men, are traditionally considered to be masculine. he also just is a man, so calling him a real man as opposed to a real adult doesn't make a difference.
@@wutzupbroz some dispatchers got no fucking chill man fr. "the baby is dead on the counter with its head smashed open" "great! now if you could just tell me exactly how many skull fragments are in there, that'd be a huge help :)" like how much more info do you need? just send the fucking cops, the guy doesn't want to traumatize himself.
The system is faulty the way they expected a mentally ill person to "be responsible" and take their meds is crazy. She should have been hospitalized. This is a chemical imbalance from the trauma of child birth. They need a facility that allows both mother and child to reside and still bond while being medicated and monitored by professionals
I absolutely agree!!!
that sounds amazing honestly
Great idea ❤
I feel the same after move to this country with my family. But Talk to the liberals 😅 see how they react.
Here here! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Robert is a damn legend, even through a horrible situation he was able to make complete sentences. I hope he’s doing good now.
Acting like any normal adult makes him a lengend? Why? Because he’s black so your bar is low?
Praying for this brave young man and his family!🙌 🙏🙏✝️❤🙋♀️

I hope his kids are okay, too. I can't imagine the mental trauma that poor child will have to carry coming on a scene like that.
The son is outstanding. His phone call at the start, the way hes telling his mum to straighten up and that shes being selfish. While holding himself and probably everyone around him grounded. He's a MAN through and through
Nah, hes just an upstanding citizen. Idk why people have philosophize manhood into basic moral tasks, as if though women, elders, and youths arent held to that standard.
Why dont we say "REAL WOMEN/ELDERS/YOUTHS DO THIS"?
Its very patronizing. It shows that society prefers chivalric cringe over practicality.
@@neonfrootit's just not common anymore. Gee give him some credit
@@neonfroot yeah not like there’s thousands upon thousands of years of men being the courageous figures who look after and ground the family unit in both reality and stories. you act like it’s entirely unprecedented, when in reality 1000x more of the worlds history has been spent with this idea of “manly” and only recently have people started making arguments similar to yours.
@@neonfroot they aren’t held to that standard. Women especially. Women hardly face any consequences for their actions and never take accountability for their actions. Unless a woman cold blooded murder somebody like that excuse for a woman did here, there is close to 0 accountability. Even in the case of murder, for whatever reason, if a man and woman commit a horrific crime like murder together, the women ALWAYS receive less time than the man.
@@milana2020I think what's not that common anymore is people regarding men in general as being just as decent as anyone else. Men are, frankly, demonized. You can thank feminism for this. Men in general need to be given just as much credit as anyone else, but they aren't. So that is why, when you have a situation where it becomes impossible to deny that a particular man was being a good person, then people clap their hands and act like he's being a very good boy. Yes, he's a good man, and so are a lot of men.
Robert deserves to be commended for that 911 call. Man he was concise and level headed. Incredible job in a horrific situation.
WTH is everybody saying about the call. He was just as annoying I thought he was guilty. All of them got me sick. I'm angry with God. I really am.
@@cynthiacromwell8002 what😭😭😭
@@cynthiacromwell8002 Idk wym "all of them got me sick" and "he was just as annoying I thought he was guilty." I don't know if you could possibly be deaf or unsure of what the 911 call consisted of but imagine you see a relative brutally mxrdered in a family members kitchen, let alone your sister. Robert had to stand there with his OWN CHILDREN as a LITERAL infant had been mxrdered by their own mother, and by his mother. Everyones talking about the call because imagine that, imagine you have to make a 911 call while having your own mother as the mxrderer, your baby sister that had been deceased and mxrdered by your own mother, your children at the house, and other relatives there as well. Now cynthia, i can understand the case being sick, but the only sick person there was Deasia. Robert had nothing to do with the death, infact he was sure of the infant being taken care of, by CPS and Deasia's auntie. Also, i have no clue what went on inside your brain to make you think Robert could've done this, they had clearly set out a timeline from the auntie, Robert's 911 call and Deasia's confession/guilt plead. You could hear the scare in his voice and the realization that it was reality for him. Sometimes Cynthia, YOU need to keep your opinions to yourself.
also, as someone who's most likely younger then you are (Cynthia is a older name) Even I know better to filter myself then a grown woman can, you're allowed to be angry but read the room Cynthia, and listen to the questioning, 911 call, and timelines again. Maybe it'll tick your memory or sense of logic. Watch the video again, maybe it'll make sense as you're someone who's older.

I am absolutely disgusted, and in tears. When the judge tells you to keep someone away from a child and you already knew what happened prior, why let her back around that baby.
Exactly and I will never understand these people. When I worked at a daycare we had a father that wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near the toddler and the family all knew this, they knew how violent he was. The mama didn’t want to be bothered being by herself so she took the baby back to the dad and the dad murdered him. Violently.

@@kelseywelsey2924💔😣. 🙏🏻💙🌈
The aunt probably felt taking care of the baby was too much work so she just let the mother in against court orders

He seemed very kind. I hope he’s doing well
Robert is amazing. The way he handled that call as calmly as he could, the way he was strong and consoled his mom. What an incredible kid.
He handled it a lot better than I would have.
Seriously. He's an excellent dad as well. Saw what happened, got his kids the hell out the door to safety, and went back in to figure it out. I truly hope everyone, but especially that little kid who unfortunately saw the scene, is in proper counseling. They've got a real father behind them.

If it's ever documented that you have tried to harm your child, you should NEVER be allowed around the baby again. Period.

@@louniece1650 think about the statement you just made for a second. I totally understand that situations like this seem clear as day, that the mother is completely unfit to raise a child. But that has to be a tough job, being the deciding factor to split up a family. Or even worse, not splitting up that family and then the mother does something horrible. It's not always as easy as it seems from the outside.
There's not enough foster families available and if you house kids in institutions, they will be abused and neglected. I am speaking from first hand experience. There are no good options.
@@robertbaker3620 You're right. I'm just thinking of my nightmare.
I agree. But this was the aunts fault. She wasn't supposed to be there around the child. She said on the 911 call. That she wasn't supposed to be here. So partly cps did there job. They tried to allow the aunt to raise the child but she let her niece stay there anyway.
Robert handled everything so well. I feel so crushed for him and his kids. He had to manage his children, who SAW the horrid scene, and try to ground his mother, who was practically hysterical. I hope he’s able to get as much support as possible.
Robert came across as a man who has spent his whole life having to manage his mom's theatrics.
You have to listen to the whole recording- the dispatcher totally escalated the situation. The poor guy had to tell her in like, five different ways that the baby was beyond rescue, before she finally told him the cops were on route.
( I’ve noticed that since then, more dispatcher get that information to the caller right up front. Because yeah, say that FIRST, then ask a bunch of questions.)
Yes an incredible young man

@@ellebell9139 Postpartum Rage, Depression, and Psychosis is a very real thing and the more people deny it, the less knowledge that can be spread on those matters. Everyone's experience is different.
@@ellebell9139 postpartum mental health issues are extremely real. It’s not because of trauma that they occur,though. It’s because of chemical imbalances in the brain caused after birth in some mothers. While in pregnancy, a massive amount of different hormones are going on in the body, but then during birth, and then immediately after birth, those horror, moans and chemicals can go completely out of whack. Serotonin levels or dopamine may drop massively, oxytocin levels may drop massively, and a dozen other chemicals, that I am not clever enough to fully understand, change or rise or shift in a way that can be devastating to the human brain. Many, many women experience postpartum depression. One of my very best friends suffered severe postpartum depression after having her healthy baby boy, who she spent nine months, so excited for. She ended up having to be placed in-patient for almost a week because she became a threat to herself. And the reason for that, is because she found that she did not care about her child at the time that it was a newborn. She said that she saw this precious little person that she had been so excited to meet, and a few days after bringing him home, she felt nothing. And that horrified her, made her feel like an absolutely horrible human and even worse mother. But once she was treated for what was going on, all of those symptoms went away, and she remains one of the most dedicated mothers I have ever met to this day. Postpartum psychosis is thankfully much rarer, but it is unfortunately absolutely real, and it is very poorly understood. Look at the before photos of this woman, and look at her photos at the time of her being interviewed. You can see her mental illness, clearly. This was an extremely ill woman, and an innocent child, that her family and that society failed. She should never have been in a position that she could have done what she did, because, given time and adequate treatment, she likely would have recovered from this, and she may well have become a really wonderful mom. That’s why this type of mental disorder is so devastating: it is very sudden onset, and there is no way of predicting it, and it is very rarely diagnosed, until tragedy strikes.
TLDR: don’t let your own suffering and experience cloud the fact that mental illness is real, especially when it comes to women, because that allows cases like this to continue happening.
@ellebell9139 TF you mean she was in psychosis weirdo.
Robert realized the severity of the situation and handled it perfectly. He deserves an award for how levelheaded he was through the whole thing
I love how blunt this detective is. He's just straight up, he isn't being overly nice or overly mean, he just asks straight up questions and points things out when the answers are clearly incorrect. I love this interrogation.
It's such a dirty work though, let's be real. Dirty as in the same way an attorney's work is dirty. Or it's better if I say "not honest work". The detective's breakthrough moment was when he said James had asked to talk to her, James said he was the only one that could get through to her and her family still loved her and worried about her. What if ALL THAT is something this detective doesn't actually know and it's another interrogation tactic? I can't say I appreciate anybody doing such manipulations, Beano. Can you?
You know, I'm far from religious but if there's something akin to hell in the afterlife, that guy might be heading there as well.
@@zeuna SHE KILLED HER BABY I DONT CARE WHAT THEY DO W HER THEY WERE TOOOO NICE IF YOU ASK ME
@@kinsey7298 you don't get it, if they became combative and served their intentions then they run the risk of her shutting down. Do you really think they wanted to be nice? They were lying when they basically told her good people can harm babies. When you see detectives being friendly with the likes of Edmund Kemper, sharing meals with Todd Kohlhepp, or asking someone like Nick Browning if he wants anything, they are building rapport. If they served only their feelings, they'd never get confessions or answers.
I'd pretty much agree that this is fucked up regardless of how reasonable he manages to sound. Fact is, she refused to talk to the police (literally, not talking is refusing to talk) and they interrogated her for six hours instead of getting her a lawyer. You don't have rights unless you say the magic words. It's ridiculous.
This is just too heartbreaking and disturbing.
I Can’t help but disagree with the sentencing, I believe she deserves life in a psychiatric ward. I’m no psychologist but if someone can explain in justify her state mind.
My god, I can’t understand the law process that allow 15 years to life with a chance of parole.
I feel ZERO sympathy for Deborah. You didn't just fail to follow instructions intended for the safety of the baby, you were willing to leave an unmedicated Deasia unattended with the baby.
And her “sobs” are pure theater + fear of incarceration (as she said on the 911 call)! She clearly didn’t care about the baby either, because she failed to protect her despite volunteering to do so, she failed to keep the psychotic “mother” away from her, she was sleeping while the murder occurred, and her first realization while on the phone with dispatch was “I’m gonna go to jail” rather than vocalizing her concern for the child! Also, again, her “crying” was an act for the most part! End of story!!!!

She was crying for herself. 🐊 😭
The lady that let the mom stay should get charged with murder! She alone made this possible!
I wonder if she wa charged? It is her fault! And also the doctors. She was obviously dangerous to the baby but they did not hospitalize and treat her properly.
6:06 the change in her voice when she said "she ain't supposed to be here Robert" and when she started sobbing hysterically when the dispatcher spoke is just mind blowing.
She wanted people to feel pity for her. But she is to blame as well. She allowed that woman in her house after she promised the courts she wouldn't. I can not and will not feel sorry for her ass.
I appreciate the dispatcher calling her out on her bullcrap.
@@BakeXlove11 same here !
I don't know because I've never been in that traumatizing situation, but maybe she saw the baby after Robert got her in the kitchen, confused, in disbelief or knowing she( herself) was asleep and now dreaming before actually coming to the realization once she heard the dispatcher saying "911" either way, I see the dispatchers point but even in a soft tone (my psychology experience with a master's degree) would state the operator was being either subconsciously or knowingly argumentive. In this case of call this would be inappropriate. But, I don't know any of their mindset🤷🏽♀️
@@staceybowden6574 - Sorry but the operator was trying to figure out what was going on and didn't have time to deal with Deborah's theatrics. She wasn't being argumentative. She was trying to get ahold of the situation I'm sure, especially considering that s knowing that a baby was brutally murdered was pretty horrible but it seems as tho Deborah was more concerned for herself than what was actually happening. She knew she was at fault. She knew that, while she didn't actually murder that baby, she definitely had a MAJOR hand in it.
My heart goes out to the kids just visiting their grandma and they discovered a dead newborn. They will never forget that.
Yeah every time they go over there their scared they may lose they head😮
So traumatic
She cared more about going to jail than trying to save the baby
@@sassy-savvy the baby was already gone. She was saying she was going to jail cause she felt responsible for the death, considering the fact the mother wasn’t allowed around the baby at all.
@@brandiwhite7829 I am not thinking there will be an "over there" to go to anymore. Both Grandma and Auntie are going to jail
My partner had postpartum psychosis with our first born, she would have really bad thoughts about hurting him and kept telling me to take him away. Her mindset really wasn’t good, she could not sleep and had voices in her head and hallucinations.
Luckily there was space in a mother and baby unit (Basically a mental hospital for new mothers) she gradually got better and was released after 2 months.
Not something I ever want to go through again, postpartum psychosis really is awful and can make you do crazy things if not treated correctly and swiftly.
It is unfortunate that a lot of people do not know how to deal with it. Deasia's blank stares in the first interview is something I was very familiar with.
All is very well with us now and have long forgotten this incident.
How does this happen and what was it like
Bless you both!!! Glad she overcame that and is doing well ❤
i know what she did was unspeakable, but people are being so inconsiderate, yes, she killed her baby, and thats unacceptable, but that shits real, and ive seen it first hand. my mom was pregnant 12 (maybe more) times, and what it does to a person is insane. its really hard to grasp how they can be loving and fine one second and want to harm or kill the baby the next second. its a struggle. i hope baby janiyah rests in peace, and i hope deasia gets the help she needs. ive never experienced it first hand, so i cant say i completely understand, but from what my family has told me, and what ive seen with my own eyes, my mom had it happen to her more than once, and that it was absolute hell to help with and deal with for both parties. i feel bad for everyone.
@@shr0om1ez I never realized till I had my first baby just how much havoc pregnancy and birth can wreak on the body. Nobody really ever talks about the darker side of pregnancy. I knew of course that it could be uncomfortable, unpleasant and bring out or worsen certain health problems but didn't know the extent till I was pregnant with my son. My pregnancy was a nightmare and while I didn't have post partum psychosis, I did have severe post partum depression among other pysch symptoms that I had never had before. OCD, intrusive thoughts, paranoia, agoraphobia and panic attacks. I didn't even get into all the physical problems I had and still have even after 8 years. Post partum psychosis and depression are horrible, I feel for any woman who has to go through it. Having a baby is supposed to be an amazing moment in a woman's life, and its awful that these types of ailments exist :/
Exactly people just ready to judge this lady like can’t no other woman go through this like postpartum depression ain’t real I hate social media

Robert is one hell of a man. You can tell he’s the glue that held that family together. I just hate to think of the terrible things he must have seen and gone through in his life to be able to keep it together while dealing with what he saw in that kitchen, what his children saw and what his mother saw. It could be argued he went through the most trauma (besides the baby) that day yet he was the only one able to keep his wits about him and get the right things in motion to move forward after what his cousin did.
i agree with you in saying he pretty much went thru the most trauma of anybody in that situation, as a son, cousin, father and human. so sad and i hope he and his kids are well.
Perfectly said, Jr!

He was only working there for about 2 weeks when they were called to pick up the body of an infant/toddler & it really fucked him up. Usually they’ll have at least 2 guys come to carry out the bodies. But he said he remembers holding the baby’s lil body bag in his arms carrying them to the van by himself. He said he was never the same. He quit the next day. And they made pretty good money.

Deasia doesn’t need prison. She needs mental health care, long-term psychiatric inpatient care followed by monitored residential (still confined) care.
Debora needs prison.
Robert needs a medal.
Yeah a lot of people are very harsh to Deasia about 'only' getting 13 years even though she completely lost touch with reality.
Deborah however definitely bears responsibility in this. She let Deasia have contact, she didn't even make sure she took her medication. I feel like she not only let Janiyah down, but also Deasia even though she's the killer, she never needed to be one
Totally agree!!
Like Andrea Yates!!! Mental Institution confinement until……
They both deserve prison.
I agree. The guilt of what Deasia did will haunt her for the rest of her life (I know from my own post partum psychosis experience). She needs mental health care not prison.
A woman suffering from postpartum psychosis should NEVER have been given the baby she tried to kill IN FRONT OF THE COPS!! The justice system failed that sweet baby girl!
This is where her aunt needs to have action taken against her…she should have never let her enter the house at all
I agree that it was the al system that failed here.
As did the aunt imho. Who, voluntarily took legal custody AND made legal promises to NOT allow the mother to be around the child (let alone LIVE with her & care for her, unsupervised) . I mean, if not for the aunt's irresponsibility..... this could not & would not have been able to happen. :( That poor baby was failed by many.

Post-partum psychosis needs to be closely monitored. Any woman who suffers from it and is discovered to be lying about taking the medicine shouldn’t be anywhere near their children.
I'm surprised they let her go home, who made that call
I don't think it's that simple.
First medical staff have their hands tied with how long they can have a psych hold.
Second when you release a patient you can't be make them be compliant with taking their meds. You can try to leave that in the hands of a relative or friend but that's no guarantee that they can do it, or that they will ask for help for fear of having the person turn against them.
@@vitalucas9452 It's not about making them take their meds. Its about not letting them near the kids. They have every right to not take their meds. But the proper authorities should have just as many rights as to take the child from the uncompliant mother
@Vita Lucas I have my own mental health history, nothing this crazy, but when I only threatened my own life I had a week long grippy sock vacation, I'm surprised that after she almost killed her child they didn't put her in a more intensive inpatient facility, but that just really comes back to the lack of Healthcare in this country
@@BAgee-lw9ct There is a definite shortage of medical care professionals. There can actually be empty beds and not enough staff to keep treating people.
The utmost respect goes out to Robert for how he handled everything, He was able to be calm and collected where most people would be in shock, and he even called out his mom for being selfish saying they might as well kill her because she cant handle all this. Robert is more of a man than 90% of this world will ever be. Props to you Robert.
Absolutely. He was definitely in shock and probably still is. Sometimes, that feeling does not go away.
Robert is definitely more of a man than most now a days. I don't know if I would have been able to keep myself as collected as he did during this brutal situation.
He handled it well but saying to someone in extreme distress that they're being selfish is unhelpful and nonsensical. We need to realize that people in those kinds of situations aren't always able to control their feelings. Being able to keep it together could be a sign of strength, indifference, or a combination of both.
@@anether Bro, regardless of the situation, the bitch was still crying for her own damn self after killing a fucking infant.

Then the waterworks (basically a performance) started as a way to seem completely innocent in this situation.
She was was more concerned about herself than that baby and the fact she let that psychotic mother be there is disgusting.
Aunty Deborah needs to be charged as well for allowing her anywhere near that baby… she knew better and lied to the court that she’d take care of her and not let the mother see the child… so yes, both should go to prison.

My wife went through PPP after giving birth to our first. She was perfectly fine before without any mental issue but the moment her hormones dropped, some wires in her brain got crossed and she literally said "I'm going crazy". There was delusions, lack of sleep, manic, bipolar. It was a tough year for us but she stuck to the psychiatrist treatment and finally got back to herself around a year later.
This is case is really tragic..
I'm really happy for you, your wife and your family. Even though I'm a stranger, something like this is averted and you have a full family. ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience. Gives a different view of PPP
I was on the border of this. The delusions started and I immediately got help. It’s really scary. I have a hard time with this case because she didn’t even try to help herself. Or seemed to not want to.
You sticking by her and helping her through that time was a tremendous help. Trust me without family understanding and support, it only makes things worst. I can truly admit that if my husband didn’t take the time to notice that things weren’t right and help me through ppp after our first child, I’m not sure I would have been able to do it alone while trying to raise our baby. Some of the things he told me, that I was saying and doing, I can’t remember up until this day. It was frightening.
By the time we had our second daughter 10 yrs later, we had preventative measures in place just in case I ended up suffering from ppp again, and fortunately those measures we had in place helped both of us.
It is very common at some level and I wish ppl would take it more seriously. It's heartbreaking.

If you didn't want the baby to be harmed then why ever allow for her abusive and sick mother to be allowed to live in your home? You could've spoke to officers about your current state on how you were doing mentally and how you were incapable of not being able to take care of a child. So many things would've been avoided.

The difference between the first attempt at interrogation vs the second attempt after being admitted to a hospital makes it clear that she 100% did not take her medication on the day of the murder. when she was silent on the first attempt, I think she might have still been going through an episode as she seems incredibly dissociated.

I agree that she was still heavily dissociated when they tried the first interview which is clearly shown by her glass eyed look. She saw people but didn't register anything about what they were saying. It was also evident with how easily they detained her and got her to stand up for the pictures.
She didn't allow visitations, she let Daesia move in with her and the baby. That's way worse given the court's warning against it
@@whyamihere523that's what i was about to comment. and on top of that why agree to get custody then turn around and say i don't want to raise anyone else's kids smh
It takes weeks to months to get someone's medications stabilized. This was a failing of the psychiatrist who released her after only a few days in the hospital. I've worked in acute psychiatric care and people who came in on a 72 hour hold usually stayed for weeks until they were stabilized on their medications. She should never have been released until she was out of her psychosis.
It’s ridiculous right? She said she felt bad and didn’t want her to go into the system, selfish because she only cared about her guilty feelings, I hope Debora has nightmares everyday about this
The Aunt screaming she’s going to jail instead of screaming about her grand niece shows you who she really cared about. You’re looking at your own flesh and blood in the worst possible scenario and you can only think about how it’s gonna negatively impact your life.
Exactly and her wailing for someone to help HER despite her son telling her what about the baby and him and the other kids. What a piece of work. He told her she's being selfish and she said "No I'm not!" And then continued to ask what about ME?? How disgusting
Poverty stricken members of society thrive off of narcissistic, selfish acts usually accompanied with drugs and alcohol.... Her hootin and wailing is normal behavior believe it or not. I used to do public work for 10 years thinking I could make an actual difference, even if it just was for a couple souls.... They don't want help. They want YOU to SERVE Them. It was always so easy for them to come up with absolutely convincing lies. They're truly masters of manipulation....
I got the hell out of the city, bought 30 acres out in the middle of the woods near the Appalachian and now serve God...
She knew she did wrong by leaving the little baby with the mother and was probably scared of getting punished. The cries were pure selfishness... shame on her... for a second i thought she was the killer. This could have been prevented!!! The old lady was not able to care for a young baby... so sad...
Selfish people think like that and the whole victim mentality crying thing. Yeah, I didn’t buy it.
Honestly, I'm not going to hold that against her. That child has only been in her care for maybe a little over a week I think (March 6-March 15) so she hasn't even developed that much of an emotional attachment to the baby. So her first instinctual reaction to the death of the little baby made sense. Blood relation has very little to do with the level of love she would have for the baby in this case if she's only known it for a short while.
What does make her the asshole is the fact that she accepted the role of looking after the baby when she knows she's been dealing with health problems and personal problems that could affect the level of care the baby receives. She didn't take seriously the fact that her niece was going through a scary medical illness and let her have access to the baby because she couldn't handle looking after the baby by herself. She was incredibly irresponsible which led to the death of an innocent baby. I'm not done watching the whole video but I wouldn't be shocked if she was charged for negligence because her actions are a prime example of that.
Edit: Oh god, I'm shaking my head at the family. Cindy, Debora's niece and Deasia's sister, was the one who took charge and said the baby needed to stay with the family and knew that Debora was reluctant to take the baby in. I'm side eying her to the extreme right now. And now that I think about it, Deasia has been staying with Debora even before she got temporary custody of the baby. And no one in the family thought this was an issue? This whole family needs to self-reflect on themselves.
LOL, Cindy is talking to the investigator about how Deasia isn't allowed around the baby in such a calm voice as if this whole thing has nothing to do with her. I'm okay with Debora crying her eyes out because it sounds like the guilt is eating her up inside but damn, Cindy is acting so cold blooded about this whole thing. She's got blood on her hands too. She's the one who said she'd pitch in and help and she's been in the know about Deasia staying with Debora too. I'm speechless.
I'm not sure how I feel about Deasia trying to shift the blame of who killed Janiyah. On one hand, I know she's been diagnosed with Post Partum Psychosis but after treatment and what looks to be a very sober mind, she's trying deflect responsibility of what happened to her baby. All the evidence pointed to her and her immediate response is "I didn't do it" and that her aunt did it. She didn't even need to blame her aunt here, she could have just said I don't know what happened. She pointed the finger to someone who took her in when she was at her lowest. It doesn't really reflect well on her. If she had any love left for her daughter, she owes it to her to tell the truth instead of running away from it.
Holy crap, just got to the part where Deasia confessed to what happened. It made me feel sick. Considering how she was able to remember the gruesome details of what occurred, it's clear she didn't want to take responsibility of what she did and tried to blame her aunt for it. So all those denials before of saying she can't have done it and that her aunt did it and how she just doesn't know... she knew this whole time. It's one thing to acknowledge she wasn't in her right mind during the act of committing the crime, but after the fact? After getting sobered up and trying to push the blame on someone else when she knew she was the one who did it... if the police didn't have damning evidence on her, would she have admitted to it? It's a scary thought.
Deasia reminds me so much of many patients I worked with. I had one who was actually a social worker. She was really unwell, and it took weeks trying to bring her back. Eventually, she remembered that she'd had a child and kept crying for it. Bloody killed me
It reminds me of one of the girls who committed the Slenderman stabbing of her best friend. This girl turned out to have full blown schizophrenia, and when she was treated properly instead of being paraded around for the media and police to abuse, she realized what she had done and wanted to kill herself. I can't imagine "waking up" and realizing that I'd almost killed my best friend. Horrifying.
That mother looks like death. Why someone would think she should be around the child is beyond me. She literally appears to have lost her mind.

She should have called the authorities and say taking care of the baby was too much. She tried to be the saviour and healer; save the baby from foster care and hoping her good deed would heal DeAsia.
The mother is clearly insane no way the aunt thought she was in her right frame of mind to be around let alone live with the baby.
That's why I have zero sympathy for Deborah. None.
@@WobblesandBean Its so easy to judge from across the world, comfy sitting in front of a computer, with no idea of the circumstances she was having to deal with. She clearly was trying to do the right thing.
No, the aunt new she wasn't right in the mind atm. She is just as much to blame. She knew the conditions and she ignored them. Not to mention, she's crying and freaking out because she's going to jail, as she states herself, NOT because an infant's head was just smashed in on her kitchen counter. She did not care for that baby enough and she allowed that to happen to the baby by being absent. Of course the mother was to blame for the death but if she were monitored and gotten the help she needed (like being monitored to take her meds), that baby would most likely be alive and well today.
Child protective services failed.causing an innocent soul so much pain.sooooo sad
@@MuttVA You clearly have never dealt with a mentally ill person.
You can LITERALLY put the pill in their mouth, watch them swallow it, and still you wont know if they did. They can hide it under their tongue, or even try and retch it back up. Mentally ill people are capable of anything.
And I guess we watched a different video. While she did mention jail, 80% of her cries were about the baby, and poor thing, and its my fault, and I cant live with this.
Yeah. She knew the mother was not supposed to have contact, but she thought she was doing the right thing. Maybe she needed help, she couldnt handle her life and the baby which wasnt hers.
Judgyjudgy.
When the detectives said they had to step out for a minute after she finally spilled the truth, I could tell they really needed a minute to collect themselves despite what they told her. I applaud them for maintaining that level of composure during that time 'cause I could hear the underlying horror in their voices as they were gathering up the paperwork.
I couldn't have remained composed at all.
Those poor kids 😢😢
I thought exactly the same.
Debora's breakdown likely comes from the fact she knows she fucked up by letting Deasia in the home, I understand she was overwhelmed but she knowingly endangered the child by doing so. I feel for Robert and his children, he clearly has had to deal with his mother a LOT, and his children witnessing that poor baby is just...horrific, no child should have that image burned into their mind.
They should have given that child to her father, but instead they refused to put his name on the birth certificate because his drivers license was expired?? How effing ridiculous is that?
she let dede in the home before she took custody of the baby SHE FUCKED UP WHEN SHE HANDED THE BABY TO THE MOTHER WHO WAS COURT ORDERED NO CONTACT SO SHE COULD LAY DOWN WITH EYE PAIN. SHE FUCKED UP WHEN SHE TOOK THE BABY AT ALL

I appreciate how aware/informed most of these comments are on postpartum psychosis. It’s really an unfortunate situation. I feel bad for mama and baby.
Her telling what happened sent chills down my spine, I’m crying for this poor baby, she didn’t deserve this 😭😭😭😭
She didn't, and it all could have been avoided if mental health was more available to everyone. And actually funded. Then more care could have been given to stop this before it happened.
my question is why the heck did she only get 15 to life!!!! seriously?!
No one "deserves" this.
Bring back asylums.
that's how the white man killed first nations/native american babies. they would pick them up by their ankles and smash them against surfaces
I’ve heard of postpartum psychosis, but until this case, I had no idea how extreme it could be! She was damn near catatonic day 1. She’s clearly medicated in the second interview. The aunt is distraught. I can appreciate u not wanting your family to go into foster care, but given her mother’s condition, her father’s inability to immediately take custody and the aunt’s health, that poor baby woulda been better off…at least until better and safer arrangements could be made. The mother should have NEVER been near that child - especially when refusing her own medication. Horrible.
Yeah, postpartum psychosis is scary. Others have shared their stories in the comments and I honnestly feel for them. We need to be more educated on this, it can happen to anybody, regardless of one's family's mental health history and the consequences are so horrible... Maybe the people involved would have made better choices... I agree that the baby should have gone to foster care directly. Someone unrelated to the mother would have been way less likely to give in and let her approach her baby.

🔊 EMERGENCY OPERATORS SHOULD BE PROPERLY TRAINED! I am soooo sick of listening to these 911 operators being rude or dismissive when they are clearly being told what is happening! I understood what the man was saying IMMEDIATELY!
( I personally had to address the 911 operator on the phone when I got into my car accident. Told him to stop being rude to the lady SAVING MY LIFE! )
Ma'am ma'am ma'am.... Just calm their minds by letting the person know help is on the way. So they can focus on what you're actually asking.
What's the gender? WTFFFFF??
I've watched hundreds of videos on this channel but this one really got me. My soul left my body when she described what she did to that baby in such a sinister way. Robert is a hero a TRUE hero.
Same, I felt nauseous
I'm sure her soul fled as well. Unlikely it'll return after that.... even if she wants it to.
That was a true reaction she doesn’t want to go to jail, she didn’t kill the baby, but she probably thought she was doing the right thing to let her spend time with the baby
I absolutely understand what you mean. I was horrified listening to her flippantly describe everything she did to the baby, and then to say she didn't feel bad or regret it.
The detective said there was a difference between bad people and people who make bad mistakes. None of what she did to that baby was a good person making a bad mistake. She's evil AF, and she was likely possessed. The thumbnail would have me think the latter. You see how she looked in her professional photo as compared to how she looked after the murder. She didn't even look like herself anymore! This was equally as terrifying as it was gut-wrenching. Poor sweet Janiyah.
I actually regretted watching this one. Got me in a way none of the other videos have. Just heartbreakingly tragic, and shocking to the core.
Denied life, she's resting in peace now in the loving arms of the Lord.❤
I am a father of four and I don't believe I would be able to keep myself from doing her harm. That young man showed more restraint than I'd be able to all this on top of trying to console his mother and shield his children from further trauma. This man is worthy of all the respect
The way he reacted on the 911 call too. Not wanting to go back to the scene of the crime for fear of messing anything up. I would have been all over the place if that had been me. What a strong man.
I understand and agree with you. I just became a dad last year. I would hurt or kill anyone that would try to harm my daughter. This almost brought me to tears hearing the mother confess to brutally killing a newborn. A little innocent baby that was counting on her to protect her and raise her. This is so so sad man.
When he said if his little cousin comes out with a weapon or something he won’t have a little cousin no more…I believed him.
I agree, he seems like a good guy. So unfortunate that he's stuck with this idiot of a mother. This could all have been avoided if she had followed the rules she had agreed to 🤦♀️
This is why we should have mandatory competency twsts for people whom wanna be parents.
If we have licenses for trades, travel, commerce, driving, huntimg, etc we should have the same for parenting.
First off, "Aunt Debbie" knew she was taking on too much by fostering the baby, but she still did it. She knew the mother of the baby was not to be around her, but she still allowed it. It's not like the mom showed up at her house unexpectedly either, the Aunt went and helped her get her things together, brought her back to her home and gave her a bedroom. Remember this too, the baby's crib WAS IN THE MOTHER'S BEDROOM. Also, the Aunt stated she couldn't do it on her own, she had already raised her own children and didn't want to have to raise someone else's baby. When the Aunt came into the interrogation room freaking out, screaming how it was her fault, she was going to jail, she knew, and it was clear at that point, that she violated the orders to not allow the mother to be around the baby, but she not only allowed her near her, she moved her into her home with the baby AND the crib was in the mother's bedroom. Aunt Debbie said it was her fault and she was going to jail because she clearly was well aware that she violated the orders and agreement and, sadly, is also partially responsible for the baby's brutal murder.
Oh I think she’s completely responsible - mom was not capable of making sane decisions and her aunt was told by a damn court not to let her near the baby. She’s the entire reason the baby is dead. Yeah I know mom did the deed…but you can’t expect someone suffering from psychosis to not do psychotic things!
CPS pretty much insisted the Aunt take on the,baby,she was in i’ll health ,so should not of had CPs insist she took on the baby ,then give her no help or support .
It is stated that due to her physical illness she was reluctant too take on the baby,.
I’ll bet CPS wasn’t giving the aunt was financial aid or given so she pay for help.
The aunt Was i’ll and left to cope alone ,offered the right aid,she would would probably not of had the mother their.
It seems that the mother in the delusion of post partial illness the mother believed the baby was an incarnate demon so she killed here .
The whole tragedy could have been avoided with plenty of help in caring for her nieces baby girl .
Just another case of CPS not doing the right thing .
She should have been in care of her brother ,who is wonderful father,if he had her she would still be alive .
F***ked up that he wasn’t given the chance to look after her .
I feel like this is one of tho o not my baby girl she could do no wrong type of think I like to call it mother blindness were most mothers cant believe there kid can do something wrong.
@@BookishDark most people are not trained on how to deal with relatives suffering from psychosis and would never foresee this kind of horror, a lot of people take mental illness lightly and aren’t able to grasp how fast things can escalate until something absolutely horrible happens, like in this unfortunate tragedy. I’m sure she already has to live with this guilt everyday without having random commenters online blaming her for causing this horrific murder. My heart goes out to her as I hope she is able to forgive herself for her mistakes and find the strength to move on from this all.
She was definitely responsible for the demise of that child, she knowingly let her niece with clear mental health issues be with the baby. She sat there and helped her be close to the baby, she should be sentenced as well for disobeying orders and basically assisting in this poor child’s death.

That poor kid will never forget seeing that.
ya i hope they get to go to therapy... might not help that much but better then nothing
The kid will be fine. I've seen something gruesome like that when i was a small child myself. Children often bounce back from stuff like that better than adults or slightly older children do. Often best to just go on with life and don't remind them too much about it. Depending on the child's age, they will simply move forward without any therapy needed. They live far more in the moment than adults do. Her father seems like a stable responsible adult. He knows when to ask for help if she develops problems.
@@benanders4412 I found my aunts body after her husband shot her in the head when I was 5 years old and I had night terrors until I was almost 25. I spend a lot of my childhood in therapy and from one medication to the next and nothing helped. I ended up strung out on drugs from 18 To 24 just to block it out of my head as much as possible. It took a lot of therapy and rehab just to be a functioning adult and I still have the nightmares occasionally.

When social workers and psychologists say that someone shouldn’t be around someone, the family needs to cooperate. This is what happens when people don’t listen. It’s sickening and depressing that this baby has suffered something so disgusting. Deasia is sick.

@@BobThebuilder-nq5rx a background check wouldn't have done anything here.

How did the aunt not get charged with something after lying to CPS about the baby's mom staying there? That honestly could have avoided that poor baby's death. So incredibly disturbing and sad.
Cos they don't give a fuck
It's called black privilege.
I don't know she was partially at fault, in my opinion, and purely out of laziness. She could have told someone she wasn't up to taking care of the baby, and they would have found her a different home.
Exactly
I’m saying the same thing. If the aunt didn’t let the mother there the baby would still be alive. I’m shocked she didn’t get charged too. The aunt plays a big part for that baby’s death.
I'm sure the aunt felt really guilty about letting the mother be alone with the baby after the fact BUT I wholeheartedly believe all of the "hysterical" crying/sobbing in the interrogation room and on the 911 call was because she wanted to play victim so she wouldn't be held accountable for allowing her niece around the baby KNOWING she wasn't supposed to be. She even kept screaming "OMG, IM GONNA GO TO JAIL" in the background. Like the 911 dispatcher said, before she realized they were on the line.. Her voice was pretty calm, then she started being hysterical when the lady began talking.. The aunt was more worried for herself! SMH...poor baby girl, she didn't deserve this.😢
Yes very unnatural cry. The quake and break in the cry was obviously performative. When I was young I was at a friends house when her bother suddenly came in saying her grandfather had just died. My friend’s mother suddenly broke down to the floor and cried. Her cries were so impactful and strong. So raw and uncontrollable like the wailing and gasping of a hurt child. Our bodies can tell when it’s fake.
Yeay that crying she did killed my ears
I'm honestly surprised she wasn't charged with something. I take issue with a lot of what CPS does, but even if authorities weren't involved, Debora should've known better than to let DeDe around little Janiyah knowing her history of psychosis and refusing treatment. I think she did feel bad and was just trying to be a good aunt to her niece by giving her a place to live, but when it comes down to it, the baby's welfare was most important. This was totally avoidable. Poor baby girl.
Yeah. The aunt was definitely milking it. But, in her reaction versus the stone cold initial interaction with the mom, shows, weirdly, how an innocent person’s reaction does often contrast the guilty. This show highlights how much criminals gloss over and minimize or deny their involvement versus typical innocents adamantly and angrily refuse blame. Both examples were extreme, but in the same ball park as guilty vs innocent.
When I heard the details, though, my own heart went cold. I usually find empathy for postpartum moms. Not this one. She had some support for her depression. Her depression was diagnosed. She let it build up and kept it in to let a simple diaper change become such a heinous breaking point. Her actions were deliberate and ongoing throughout many rooms in the home.
This murder sounded more like pure cold hatred rather than trance-like smothering or drowning. None of those scenarios is pleasant. Hers was uncharacteristically brutal. And to then try to frame the aunt? That also doesn’t seem “typical” of postpartum depression.
I agree the aunt is a selfish human being she knew the baby wasn't safe with the mom but still alowed it she should be done for manslaughter...
She wasnt meant to be near the baby for a very good reason, that child died because of the aunts incompetence. As for those hystericsxans fake emotions that was a ploy to try get out of trouble, she should be locked up. As for the mother she is severely mentally ill and needs so much help
I feel the aunt should have had legal action taken against her as well-- her failure to comply with the rules set is ultimately what lead to the death of the baby. I feel terrible for James, Robert, and Robert's children. It's sickening that the aunt's cries were only about herself, and not the baby or her traumatized grandchildren and son.
I don't understand why they put the baby in the care of someone with healthproblems... yes she was family, but come on... wasn't there a better option???
Yep, and that’s why she was screaming. I’m going to jail!
@@tiger1976 I’m guessing you don’t know anything about foster care. There aren’t a lot of foster parents on standby waiting for a child to fall in their lap. A child not placed with family members will likely live in a office for several days until other arrangements are made if not longer
Keeping a child from its mother has to be hard , especially if she's suffering from postpartum
@@B_hind_The_Curtain the outcome was better now?
This is absolutely horrific. One of the worst cases ever. Mental illness and the lack of care from the aunt is what caused all this. Its gut wrenching. May that poor baby rest in peace.
Lack of care??? She should never ever been returned to any family member.
Robert is impressive in his handling of the entire situation. I hope that he gets therapy and ongoing support to deal with the trauma he's experienced. I do blame. Deborah, she should never have let the mother in the home. It's very clear that the mother has had a psychotic break and is a danger to everyone around them. And finally, as much as I feel for the mother having had postpartum psychosis myself, her combining medications and trying to get back to her kid, it shows a level of malignant intent that is chilling.
He just didn't care. It wasn't a big deal to him that's why he was so calm

Postpartum psychosis is never talked about to expecting mothers. Mothers and their families need to know the signs. They are so obvious. The last case I heard about was a woman who had been hearing voices for 3 days before she killed her baby. Both postpartum depression and psychosis can be so dangerous and needs to be taken seriously and addressed.
After I had my third, I started obsessing about driving my car into a concrete building- even cased out the back of the grocery store..It was all I could think about for days- thank God I told someone and got help.

I agree, it took her two days on meds and treatment in a psychiatric ward at the hospital to even be responsive in this interview. She still seems dazed and completely numb. I think this woman is mentally ill and had a psychotic episode where she snapped.
The sad thing is she showed signs during her pregnancy and after. She wasn't given proper treatment, the family didn't respond till police got involved from the neighbors calling, and the baby wasn't placed in a safe situation outside of the family unit to be away from her mentally unstable mother.

@@puddles5247 Saying things that aren't based in reality is one of the most obvious and noticeable symptoms of psychosis. The lies she's making up are nonsensical.

I have a schizophrenic uncle, and have also worked with people in the middle of psychotic episodes. One of the most amazing things is how they can sound entirely rational about some things and then go off on a completely unhinged rant about people poisoning their food and putting microphones in their mattress.
Until you've seen it yourself, it's hard to believe, but this is horrifically sad, more than anything. I hold her aunt most accountable for allowing a vulnerable child to be left alone with a woman she KNEW was psychotic and not taking her meds.
She was sick!!! I was working somewhere she was at. Lets just say she had post partum psychosis and I know it is horrible but she has to live with it. She screamed and cried for that baby. I pray no one ever goes through this and no more babies. The system failed her, she got help.
Never thought that I would fall into the “ unsuitable for some viewers “ scene but, that was horrifically hatful, soul crushing story. I can’t stomach any harm to animals,children, and especially babies!
I agree. When she starting mentioning how the baby was reacting to the injuries I couldn’t hear the rest of it. She described it so horrific.
Me too. I didn't listen to the advisory because I can usually handle it. Now I'm crying and feel sick, I'm literally trembling and holding onto my sleeping 4 year old for dear life. I wish I would've changed the video, it was too much, idk I just felt like I had to tell somebody.
I could not do what those officers do. If it were my first day on the job, I’d quit right there
@@lonreed9743 me either, I would have probably gone to jail for what I did to that evil excuse for a mother, I hate to even use that word when speaking of this thing
@@mouseandmama19 right; reach across that table and show her exactly what she did to that little one.
Deborah should have been charged as well. How did she not hear the baby screaming after being thrown at a wall and lamp??? This is utterly disgusting in every way.
She probably heard the baby crying all the time and was able to sleep through it. They also said she was on medicine so that might’ve made her less likely to wake up. Lots of scenarios. I’ve slept through tornados. Don’t blame that lady for doing what she thought was right for mother & child.
The baby might've been dead already after the first blow to the head.. She was only 3 months old after all and they're really fragile.. But I do agree that Deborah should've been charged as well.
The mother said she threw the baby and it wouldn't stop crying, that's when she decided to bang it's head numerous times on the bookshelf and then took it to the kitchen.
@@xgodzhiredgunx yeah I’m going back to bed. This shit is on a magnitude above average, and the mental imagery coming from this case is very draining.
wonder how would you scream if someone that is 20 times bigger then you, would throw you into the wall. I bet u wouldn't even squeak.
