My son has Downs, i had him when i was 19, i was a single mom with no family support i was pretty much alone, i was under enormous stress, i didn’t know my son would be born with Downs so i had so much to get my head around! Im not saying iv been a perfect mom or that I haven’t struggled at times, but my son is 30 this year, he still lives with me and we are best friends. RIP Robert you deserved better sleep well little man ❤
@@Starae336 yup lol i made that sacrifice the day he was born that he would need me more than anything so i have dedicated my life to him, at times its been horrendous esp as i had him so young and all my friends were still out partying, but you know he has taught me more about love, loyalty, commitment and trust than anyone else ever has in my life and im happy with my choices, just hope in the next bloody life im a rich beautiful celebrity 🤣 my karma bank balance should be pretty healthy 😊
@@Tsunami1.618 I assumed you would know as much. I was trying to nicely let someone who said "of course he still lives with you" know as if there was no other option lol when theres several options.
Emma, was at a friend’s the other night and I was telling her a true crime case that I’ve never seen covered but giving her the details, and I went “And boom, they got him. Bang to rights. Bang to rights, man.” She was so confused and I realized what I said and had to explain what it meant 😂
@@Kari.F. I had to look it up when I first started watching Emma not long ago and now it’s an average part of my vocabulary 😂 I consider it being cultured 😂
My grandma was in an abusive relationship after she divorced my mom and uncles father. He threatened to kill her and her children if they ever tried to leave. He hurt my grandma but not her kids (aside from psychologically). He held my grandma at gunpoint. My grandma planned an escape. One night, after midnight (probably when abuser passed out drunk), she and the kids packed as much shit as they could into trashbags up into her car, and my Nan drove herself and her babies 1,000 miles away. Close family was aware of the plan. She told the kids’ school and her employer that they were moving to New York. They told everyone else nothing. And then they fled to Denver (1,000 miles the opposite direction). They didn’t return to their hometown for a long time. Except to go get great grandma and great uncle to care for them in colorado. The abuser was decapitated in a motorcycle crash (he hit a semi) several years later. Only then were my mom, my uncle, and my grandma able to stop looking over their shoulders. I believe he got what he deserved. And that my Nan did the right thing by fleeing, even though she was extremely down on her luck and had stayed until that point. She likely saved them all considering she was held at gunpoint multiple times. (This all occurred in the 1970s when women had less freedom and access to resources)
@@susanwaldron6831 she did what was best for her children even though she had made mistakes. I’m so immensely proud of my Nan, she’s my personal hero and role model. She also cared for her half-brother who had cerebral palsy for 30+ years on her own. She taught me love and sacrifice.
As a former childcare worker, you’d be ASTONISHED by the ways children have hurt themselves and how sensitive their little bodies can be; but NEVER have I seen a child injured by accident where the results of the “incident” are compared to a CAR CRASH; Because you stop whatever danger first before it gets that bad. You get whiplash, you get MULTIPLE broken bones, MULTIPLE bruises to myriad parts of the body, those things don’t happen all at once unless it’s negligence or on purpose.
You inadvertently brought back some horrible memories of my childhood where my mom (adoptive) would beat my bottom with a wooden spoon to the point my bottom would be bruised and bloodied. She also one time hit me across the side of my face with a wooden spoon repeatedly, causing blood to pour out of my ear, I have partial deafness in that one ear now. How a parent could ever do the things this couple did terrifies and disgusts me to no end. I remember when my daughter was a baby I accidently caught the inside of her thigh in the snap of the diaper. When I figured out why she was crying I unsnapped the diaper quickly and I was a sobbing mess because I had hurt my baby, so the thought of harming my children on purpose is so out of my realm of thinking.
Such a beautiful baby, he didn’t deserve to be treated so dreadfully. How a mother could stand by and watch this happen to her own baby is beyond words. RIP Robert.
My 5 year old and 3 year old nieces are cheeky in the best way. One of them told me after getting aggravated, “I’m gonna set a timer for 5 minutes and then you need to go home and go to bed.” I could never ever ever ever lay a hand on them
Wow, live chat is shocking, real humans, people answered me, found it over whelming, made me cry, sometimes I forget some people really do care... This channel for real..🌼♀️🌈
Thank you, Emma, for showcasing this precious baby. Too many children lose their lives before they can even get a foothold in life, all because of an adult who shouldn't ever come near a vulnerable soul. I love your passion and know the toll it must take on you to report on cases like these!
This was hard to watch for many reasons but the fact that I’m a mother to a beautiful daughter with downs, it’s especially hard. The extended family truly lost out on an amazing experience of knowing the purist of loves. So sad.
Tip: give kids a time frame as in “we are going to play with blocks and then we are going to eat lunch.” When it’s time to clean up, kids really do so much better if you give them a reminder. “Hey, I’m gonna set a timer” or “5 more minutes then we clean up.” It’s amazing how much more compliant kids are if they know what’s next
This is 100% spot on! And if I may take it a step further, I also learned that if you can get a verbal acknowledgement/agreement of said plan, they're even MORE likely to comply! It's amazing that even a toddler quickly displays the potential & willingness for personal accountability!! 🤯
@@Aleedis226 yes! It’s really important to have conversations with little ones. REALLY important. You can’t just bark orders. Every single human being does better if they have an idea of what is coming next, feels empathized with, and a sense of stability. I did daycare for ten years and honestly, they’d send all the “difficult” kids to me regardless of their age because I was able to “handle them.” I was able to “handle them” because I gave them structure, clear consequences, and a voice. I had 3 year olds tell me I was “fusstrating” them and it’s so important to take that, hold it and listen. I’d have conversations during really difficult days with the kids and it’s honestly amazing how much easier it is when they feel heard and acknowledged. Even the youngest.
@@tundrellaCat68 yep! I always give a time frame and set at least two timers and a verbal reminder, with assurance and a teeny tiny bit of room for compromise. “Five minutes.” “How about 7?” “Hmmm…okay. Deal.” Two minutes isn’t going to throw off your entire day
That's ridiculous...I've literally had to chase my child laughing the whole time so I could change his diaper & by the time I caught him, we both were laughing. Who could get angry at that? My son literally smiled his way out of countless punishments he really deserved because I was & STILL AM a sucker for "cheekyness". If anything, it's endearing. This case made me cry. Not the first or the last tho, I'm sure. Thank you again Emma.
I am a Romanian loyal viewer of yours! I recognized the name to be Romanian but I'm not familiar with this event. I was shocked to learn a bit about this case after a Google search but I can't wait for your take on it!
@ Raluca, me too! I’m Romanian and recognised the name as being Romanian. Also a very loyal subscriber of Emma’s and was so happy to read you comment! 😊
@@ibike825 Aww how lovely 🥰 I'm always looking forward to these videos and I'm happy that I found other Romanians here 🤩 Romanians on Emma's channel unite 👊✌🤗💓
This makes me so sad I look after children with additional needs and with life limiting and life threatening conditions and I feel privileged to part of these children’s lives to watch them thrive to the best of their ability. These children are so vulnerable and just need love and support. Poor Robert he was a beautiful baby with vile parents who didn’t deserve him!!
@emmakenney- you've never once failed to grab (and keep) my attention with every upload... which is why I've already 'liked' this before it's even premiered! Thank you for the incredible work you put in to each and every story.
The poor helpless little sister. She must have been absolutely terrified. I hope she’s in a loving home with people that treat well her and cherish her. RIP beautiful baby Robert 🙏 The “Mother” should get life meaning life.
I think your doing a great job in covering these awful stories, these precious victims will never be forgotten..My own childhood was horrible to say the least and I consider myself & my exhusnand truly blessed to have 2 beautiful children!!! Please look after your mental health always 💓
Ahh Em, you’re killing me lol! 😂 ‘car accident - bring out the onions’!!! Seriously though, another fantastic video! Your compassion and always being a voice for these victims is unmatched! The humour and sarcasm brings spots of light relief throughout these tragic cases.
I can imagine the paramedics running to the scene shouting “have you applied onions yet” and seeing Asda bags on the road as the witnesses frantically went through their shopping only to find shallots!!
This breaks my heart. Next to my nan there was a child with down syndrome and now I have a next door neighbour whose daughter has downs and I can honestly say they are both the most amazing children you could ever meet. So polite, bright and so friendly. The idea that anyone can harm a child is despicable and even more so when they are extremely vulnerable. Breaks my heart
To a Tiny, Defenseless, Innocent BABY!!! God I Heaven!! And she covered it up!! UNFORGIVABLE!!! 💔💔💔🧸🧸🧸🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for Robert, and his Sister!🧸🧸🧸🧸🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔
I thought that ALL new parents treated their precious babies like they were, “made of porcelain”!! 😳🤯 Our son was over 12 pounds & very strong when he was born…we treated him like the most fragile, precious & delicate little person ever!!!
The love and compassion you tell these truly heartbreaking cases just fills me with so much respect and adoration for you. Emma, you are such an amazing creator. From a devoted Kenny's Crime Cult fab xx
I also wanted to add that I live in a very “spare the rod, spoil the child” area of the world. People spanking with a wooden spoon or spanking with any object is widely accepted and “normal” here and I just never understood it. It just makes me sad to think that folks are hitting their children while they’re angry while also trying to teach them not to hit others while angry. 🤦🏻♀️
There is an actual practice of parenting called "Parenting with Love and Logic" that promotes using an object, rather than your hand, to "spank" a child so that they don't associate your hand with violence or punishment. I have always failed to see where the love or logic is in that type of thinking. I personally think their entire model is seriously messed up, but that one really got to me.
I just started watching this and I already know that this one is going to affect me hard. I am a caregiver of an amazing young man who is autistic has downs syndrome and is non verbal. He is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. 🙏🙏🙏 I was hoping that this story would at the least turn away from the children not that it's any better but the is a monster not a human being this man needs to have the same exact things done to him right down to the wooden spoon. This poor baby boy didn't stand a chance and his mother failed to save him 😢 R.I.P SWEET BABY Robert 💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Emma. I was wondering if you could cover Bernadette Walker at some point? I do admittedly have a personal interest as she was one of my daughters friends. I would really love more of a light to be shone on this case. Her body has never been recovered. My hope is that someone somewhere may have seen something suspicious on the day she went missing and one of your deep dives might just jog a memory. Thank you for such consistently great content x
Have you seen The 'Stolen from Me, True Crime' Channel?? .....Linzi Has Talked about Bernadette, .... Hope your Daughter is okay, .....I have followed Bernadettes Story on the News etc, Just couldn't get her out of my head, Just wanted to hug her! ....🥺
Can't even stress how important it is for children to feel safe, I used to almost have anxiety attacks through my childhood walking home from school because I was so scared about whether I was walking into my stepmum and dad arguing again or not. Awful for a child to be in that situation especially when violence is involved.
I also feel most dreadfully sorry for the little girl who has lost her brother and her parents, I don’t know if her first language was English but at 2/3 years old this must have been very traumatic. As for the father, he needs locking up forever! The mother in my opinion is a hard one, people “said” she gave as good as he gave her, but they didn’t live her life! I’m not for one minute condoning what she did, im just saying no one knows what goes on behind closed doors! Rip little Robert 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a gift you have of telling a story. The way you put together the facts with your feelings and thoughts is amazing. I really enjoy listening to your videos. Thank you for you time and effort.
Lol "Children are definitely the best thing that were ever invented". It's so true though! ALL the best or most improved things about me were brought out by children (mainly from raising my own, but even by other people's)! Kids are amazing, challenging, joyful gifts & deserve to be treated as such! That's why these cases hit SO hard. 😢❤️
The best anti-depressant for me was hearing my baby laughing hysterically at random things. Also cuddling him. He is 11 now. Not quite as giggly or cuddly but he's still the light of my life
@@hamstermunchies5558 Omg SAME! Aways dealt with some level of depression, but never once the post-partum variety, my kids were & still are the most effective anti-depressants too! I mean, it also goes a long way having that kind of meaning & purpose, as well as so much less actual time to dwell on yourself!
I'll be honest I don't have the same sentiments about children. Don't get me wrong I'm completely against any form of abuse. But I personally find children to be a great nuisance and i don't enjoy being in their presence, I really don't find them endearing at all
Using a wooden spoon on a toddler!!! Disgusting!!! I have an almost 8 year old daughter who is absolutely amazing but has had moments that have tested me…you know what I did, I put her in a room or her cot when she was a toddler and walked away to count to ten and calm down. I never once wanted to hit my child. There is absolutely never any need or excuse to hit your child! NEVER!!!
Yeah I couldn’t even conceive of laying a hand on my six year old wee girl. I’m lucky because she’s even tempered and very well behaved but she’s not perfect of course. But she’s never tested my patience enough to make me feel violent.
This was the hardest true life crime I have listened to,, in all of your true crime video's. It was to hear how she was tortured as some of them was very triggering for. I sat here in tears of not only that poor childs treatment from her mother, in her time of need but, those bastards who are called humans and parents themselves. I had a bad childhood but I never would dream of that kind of torture. This one will stay with me for a while. I love all your videos and I am slowly making my way through them. Thank you for your not just your take on those crimes but your empathy to the person whom it anout. 😢😢❤❤
Fairly new sub here and I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. You ooze compassion and empathy for these families/victims, and do such an amazing job giving their stories justice. I could listen to your voice/accent all day!
Jesus, cant believe how many such cases there are! How on earth as a mother you just watch somebody assaulting your child, will never understand that. And if you struggle to care for a vulnerable child, there is help offered. My respect goes out to all those brave and loving parents raising a vulnerable child, it is for sure an adventure and very hard at times💗
When I had my daughter 2 years ago midwives highlighted 'icon' which is about the fact if you're stressed you can put the baby down somewhere safe. They can cry assuming you've done standard bits like nappy and feeding, and are struggling to settle them. You can take a step away for a moment instead of causing harm to them. I think it's really important to highlight, as some people feel unable to put the baby down when they are crying, which can lead to stressed parents doing this.
Having grown up around many individuals with downs due to mum’s work & volunteer work, all I can say is that these individuals should never have been allowed the privilege of having such a precious child in their care. He should have been with a family who would have appreciated the love and joy that he would have brought into their home
This may be the first video I can’t get through…My daughter was born with Down’s Syndrome and had associated problems and she passed away aged 6 months and 4 days…This is going to be tough 😞
So sorry for your loss, Lisa. 💔 I hope the happier memories with your beautiful little girl bring you much needed comfort on those tough days. My mam had to bury my sister in 2004, so my heart goes out to you. I know the devastating effect it has on families, so I know you never get over something like this happening to you. Our beautiful angels 😇 will be watching over us and I truly believe in my heart we will see them again one day. When that day comes they will be with us for eternity and we will never feel this pain and loss ever again. Every day brings us one step closer to that beautiful day when we will have them back in our arms. Until then we need to cherish our lives and live it as best as we can for them. 💗 Gentle 🫂 hugs to you Lisa. xx
Definitely would love to hear an American case/presentation with “bang to rights” in the summing up!!! It’s the perfect “gotcha”! Another great job, Em xx
My one and only grandbaby was born in Sept 2020. I can not imagine losing her at 6 months old. I can NOT fathom that her parents would be responsible for that. This is a terrible, horrific case. 😢
Wow. I have a 20 month old, as well as a 5 year old. If I was to beat my youngest with a wooden spoon every time she got "cheeky" or resisted a nappy change, well, that object would simply never leave my hand. I can't fathom abuse and cruelty, nevermind directed at a child, much less, your own child. I wish these types of people would refrain from becoming parents. There is no biggest blessing than a cheeky child. It means they are alive, at ease, playful, happy. I wish I could adopt all the children in need of consistent love, care and security, truly I do. RIP beautiful baby Robert 🖤
As a parent of a child I find it hard to believe anyone can harm a baby or any child at all let alone one with downs! I'm a Mother to a son with Autism and I am fiercely protective if him to the point I've cut people out our lives who I felt treat him different like he was stupid 😭 I honestly am heartbroken for this poor little angel he deserved so much more.
I had to stop half way through this case to cry. How human beings can be so despicable to children, let alone an innocent tiny being as young as this, it is incomprehensible to me. Rip baby Robert, im sorry you had to go through so much undeserved pain 😢
This makes me so sad 😞 this poor baby was born to monsters who didn't deserve him. There is women like me who are unable to have children. So hearing stories where parents have killed their defenceless baby just makes my blood boil. My hubby has 2 boys from his previous marriage and his oldest son has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk or talk and he has epilepsy & is tube fed. The boys were 3 and 7 when I came into their life. I feel so lucky I became their step mam and l loved them from the start & looked forward to them both coming to stay every wkend. I have a good relationship with their mam and I respect her, and have always appreciated that she bought me mothers day cards and gifts when the boys were younger. I will never forget her thanking me for loving her boys and taking such good care of them because her 1st husbands new wife was horrible towards her 3rd oldest son. 😔 It just puzzles me why anyone would want to hurt a child. My instinct has always been maternal towards my step sons, they are both my world and I am so proud of them. I love them both so much and they are now 16 and 20. We still help and support their mam when the oldest is in hospital because being a parent is a 24/7 job. Having a child with special needs is hard but it's a blessing because these children teach us so much about life and what truly matters. I am just so sad and sorry little Robert 😢 wasn't given the love and protection he deserved. If the parents were struggling to meet his needs they are other options available. You only have to ask for help and if they really couldn't cope or meet their child's needs then they should have looked into adoption. Better doing that than taking their anger & frustration out onto an innocent child. The fact these monsters showed no remorse, tells me everything I need to know about them as people. I am sorry the world let you down sweet boy. Rest peacefully in the arms of the angels. I am sadly terminally ill, so God willing when I get my wings I will come and find you and be your mummy and show you what it's like to be loved and cherished. 💗xx
You're right. They also could have put him into a care home or convalescence facility if they couldn't handle his full-time care! Anything is better than abusing your child like this! I get it. If I ever have a child that will require full time, 24/7 care, I will have to put them into a facility because I physically cannot take care of a child that would require that extent of care. Emma, I disagree with you that nothing good comes out of physical punishment. I spank my kids, and they are perfectly fine. They are good kids. I get compliments on them all the time regarding their behavior. With children, you have to establish that you are the boss.And there is nothing wrong with spanking a 2 yr old. Now, with said, you do NOT beat them, hit them with a closed fist or hand, pull their hair, slap them in the face or head, push them, or scream at them! And food is a basic life necessity, it is NOT a privilege! It should NEVER be used as a punishment, and a child should never be sent to bed or anywhere else without food, ever!
What a beautiful baby boy ❤️❤️. I have a brother who is special needs and has always been such a blessing in my family's life. He is now 54 year's old.
I was so excited to come across your channel! Love listening to your expert opinions on true crime documentaries that i've watched on TV and i always agree 100% because you say what i think! Your passion is contagious and i think it's brilliant that you're not afraid to say what you feel. Thank you for doing this 🌷
Wow, this made me cry. I’ve worked with Down syndrome kids and they are so gentle, loving and generally happy. I’ll never understand violence against anyone, but particularly against innocent children.
Hi Emma. Out of all the podcasts I watch, your definitely consistent! Love that. And I love the deep dives. U have a gr8 personality too. I bet your ornery too.😉
My friend had a brother with downs and he was the sweetest, best temperednkittle guy around and he had needed open heart surgery when he was born but it didn't phase him one bit. He's an absolute delight to be around ❤
My granddaughter is 19 months old. She screams like she's being tortured when she's getting a nappy change. I can never imagine hurting her for doing that. She also has temper tantrums if she can't get across what she wants to say because she is a baby. I can't imagine anyone wanting to do that to a baby.
Emma Kenny’s crime cult is the only cult I’ll ever join! It’s the only good cult ever invented! I love you Emma and I LOVE your logic and how your so smart! Your smarter than any true crime youtuber I watch frequently! I hope you never stop making these videos!! You got a special talent! And in my eyes your a true crime legend queen❤️🦾❤️🦾
My grandson had cerebral palsy and a few other health issues and we were told not to let him cry but I can't remember why so I never let him cry and I never put him down. He was pure love and everyone who met him loved him and he loved everyone except his biological father. His father had 1 visit with his father and he cried so his father brought him right back to us and everytime his biological father came around my beautiful grandson my grandson would cry so hard until his father left and then he'd go right back to being the happy loving boy that everyone else knew. We lost him to liver cancer and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him and I don't miss him so when I see special needs babies and kids being abused my soul hurts like nothing else because when you look in the face of a special needs baby and child all you see is pure love and it makes zero sense to do anything but love them and protect them with your whole being.
When I was born, my collar bone was broken when I was delivered, no one's fault. But my parents were instructed to be very gentle with me, since baby bones are so flexible and all, it'd grow back wrong, and it hurt ofc. My mom said it was so difficult as a new mom to deal with a baby in general, and one that you could barely touch on one side, but she still managed to perfectly care for me and my injury so I grew up with my arm just fine. I later broke it at 14, but even in the xray, the original injury had knitted perfectly because she'd been so delicate.
Can't wait for this one. Another I haven't heard of. I have another request for your list, Rachel Burkheimer. Heartbreaking like most of these cases, she was forced to watch her grave being dug & I'm not sure but she may have been forced to help dig it too.
I was so happy when I found your page, always loved documentaries when you were on you give the victims a voice and I can't thank you enough for that x
I gave birth in 2020, I'm already struggling with this one. Also, I am too honest. Even when I'm in the wrong I own up to it, regardless of how it looks. I have alot of mental health disabilities which effect my everyday living to the point I had no choice to place my kids in care for 6 months or longer until I am mentally in a place I can parent the way I need too. I have zero sympathy for either of these parents. The " mother" infuriated me beyond belief.
Again another good true crime, thank you Emma, a case I hadn’t heard of bless his heart 💜, it’s bad when anyone loses their life but think it’s a hundred times worse when it’s kids, their born in this world to be loved 🥰 & looked after, again thanks Emma & Dusted 💜💜
Hi Emma, fantastic show! Thank you! Have you heard of the devastating and horrendous case of a woman who passed away while "melted to the couch". It was an autistic woman in the care of her parents who was severely neglected. Would be interesting to see the back story on this. The parents have been arrested.
I'm curious about the daughter ending up in foster care instead of with Ion's family. It makes me wonder if they were really as supportive as stated, or if the agency didn't feel they were suitable care givers.
I remember my mum saying that when I would cry and she couldn’t work out why she had to walk out of the room for 5 mins. She told me that she always made sure I was safe but at times the crying drove her to distraction. She was alone and exhausted and caring for her sick mum but she did the right thing x love you mum
Not a normal mother. Not a normal father. How, just how can people do this. They must know what harm they're doing; they must know how society views this kind of behaviour....how sodding wrong it is.
I’m 52 years old, my parents believed in corporal punishment and I’ve been hit with wooden spoons… so unnecessary! We were already scared to death of our parents, they didn’t need weapons. I’m glad we did not pass abuse to our children. Hitting does nothing but scare a child and piss them off. But, we were usually well behaved.
In the States, in my hometown an 11 year-old girl who many of my friends knew was shot to death by her dad before he committed suicide. She left the house with police covered in her daughter's blood. In regards to infanticide THE WORST was "Baby Brianna" Unspeakable things were down to that baby and she was only 6 months old.
Emma, please, please, please cover the case of Lacey Ellen Fletcher. Her parents are being charged with second-degree murder but the more I learn the more I want to do to them what they allowed to happen to her.
Emma please do Sylvia likens case I know you done junkos but can’t see Sylvia’s anywhere also isn’t a load of videos on Sylvia compared to junko and I’d like you to deep dive it of course
So sad. I hope they never get out!! My special needs daughter went to school with a girl who's father shook her. She was a beautiful little girl who sadly lost her fight after many years of suffering because of someone who should have protected her
Thank you as always for your content and deep dives. I have to say I really want a green KCC hoodie. It might just be my lighting but looks good if it is green xx
The using corporal punishment on the 2 yr old doesn't even surprise me unfortunately. Many people who use it do it more when the child is little so that they don't "have to" as much when they get older. And according to the Pearls' "parenting" book "To Train Up a Child", they're pretty much never too young (this book has coincidentally been linked to several child deaths)
I truly hope you’ll cover the tragic story of a little boy called Takoda Collins. There’s hardly been any coverage of this and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I know you’d telll his story with the compassion and love he deserves and never recieved💜
My son has Downs, i had him when i was 19, i was a single mom with no family support i was pretty much alone, i was under enormous stress, i didn’t know my son would be born with Downs so i had so much to get my head around!

Me too and boot, bonnet, and such too!
My grandma was in an abusive relationship after she divorced my mom and uncles father. He threatened to kill her and her children if they ever tried to leave. He hurt my grandma but not her kids (aside from psychologically). He held my grandma at gunpoint.
My grandma planned an escape. One night, after midnight (probably when abuser passed out drunk), she and the kids packed as much shit as they could into trashbags up into her car, and my Nan drove herself and her babies 1,000 miles away.
Close family was aware of the plan. She told the kids’ school and her employer that they were moving to New York. They told everyone else nothing. And then they fled to Denver (1,000 miles the opposite direction). They didn’t return to their hometown for a long time. Except to go get great grandma and great uncle to care for them in colorado.
The abuser was decapitated in a motorcycle crash (he hit a semi) several years later. Only then were my mom, my uncle, and my grandma able to stop looking over their shoulders.
I believe he got what he deserved. And that my Nan did the right thing by fleeing, even though she was extremely down on her luck and had stayed until that point. She likely saved them all considering she was held at gunpoint multiple times. (This all occurred in the 1970s when women had less freedom and access to resources)
Well done to your Grandma it can't have been easy. She was very brave. You must be so proud of her.
@@susanwaldron6831 she did what was best for her children even though she had made mistakes. I’m so immensely proud of my Nan, she’s my personal hero and role model. She also cared for her half-brother who had cerebral palsy for 30+ years on her own. She taught me love and sacrifice.
What an amazingly brave soul.
Good for your nan. It couldn't have been easy, I admire her greatly!
@@carolynlewis1306 she’s my hero for sure!
As a former childcare worker, you’d be ASTONISHED by the ways children have hurt themselves and how sensitive their little bodies can be; but NEVER have I seen a child injured by accident where the results of the “incident” are compared to a CAR CRASH; Because you stop whatever danger first before it gets that bad. You get whiplash, you get MULTIPLE broken bones, MULTIPLE bruises to myriad parts of the body, those things don’t happen all at once unless it’s negligence or on purpose.
You inadvertently brought back some horrible memories of my childhood where my mom (adoptive) would beat my bottom with a wooden spoon to the point my bottom would be bruised and bloodied. She also one time hit me across the side of my face with a wooden spoon repeatedly, causing blood to pour out of my ear, I have partial deafness in that one ear now. How a parent could ever do the things this couple did terrifies and disgusts me to no end. I remember when my daughter was a baby I accidently caught the inside of her thigh in the snap of the diaper. When I figured out why she was crying I unsnapped the diaper quickly and I was a sobbing mess because I had hurt my baby, so the thought of harming my children on purpose is so out of my realm of thinking.
I’m sorry 😞
Such a beautiful baby, he didn’t deserve to be treated so dreadfully. How a mother could stand by and watch this happen to her own baby is beyond words. RIP Robert.
My 5 year old and 3 year old nieces are cheeky in the best way. One of them told me after getting aggravated, “I’m gonna set a timer for 5 minutes and then you need to go home and go to bed.” I could never ever ever ever lay a hand on them
Wow, live chat is shocking, real humans, people answered me, found it over whelming, made me cry, sometimes I forget some people really do care... This channel for real..🌼♀️🌈
Thank you, Emma, for showcasing this precious baby. Too many children lose their lives before they can even get a foothold in life, all because of an adult who shouldn't ever come near a vulnerable soul. I love your passion and know the toll it must take on you to report on cases like these!
This was hard to watch for many reasons but the fact that I’m a mother to a beautiful daughter with downs, it’s especially hard. The extended family truly lost out on an amazing experience of knowing the purist of loves. So sad.
She blessed to have a mother like you, that values and loves her like every child should be.

Romanian here! This case is shocking & disgusting. Never heard of it before
Tip: give kids a time frame as in “we are going to play with blocks and then we are going to eat lunch.” When it’s time to clean up, kids really do so much better if you give them a reminder. “Hey, I’m gonna set a timer” or “5 more minutes then we clean up.” It’s amazing how much more compliant kids are if they know what’s next
This is what they teach us to help kids who struggle to show them schedule, picture schedule and frequently reminders before transitions.
This is 100% spot on! And if I may take it a step further, I also learned that if you can get a verbal acknowledgement/agreement of said plan, they're even MORE likely to comply! It's amazing that even a toddler quickly displays the potential & willingness for personal accountability!! 🤯
@@Aleedis226 yes! It’s really important to have conversations with little ones. REALLY important. You can’t just bark orders. Every single human being does better if they have an idea of what is coming next, feels empathized with, and a sense of stability. I did daycare for ten years and honestly, they’d send all the “difficult” kids to me regardless of their age because I was able to “handle them.” I was able to “handle them” because I gave them structure, clear consequences, and a voice. I had 3 year olds tell me I was “fusstrating” them and it’s so important to take that, hold it and listen. I’d have conversations during really difficult days with the kids and it’s honestly amazing how much easier it is when they feel heard and acknowledged. Even the youngest.
@@tundrellaCat68 yep! I always give a time frame and set at least two timers and a verbal reminder, with assurance and a teeny tiny bit of room for compromise. “Five minutes.” “How about 7?” “Hmmm…okay. Deal.” Two minutes isn’t going to throw off your entire day
@@Aleedis226 Yes!! Make sure they can hear you, they could be a million miles away in their imaginative play. Tap a shoulder, say their name.
That's ridiculous...I've literally had to chase my child laughing the whole time so I could change his diaper & by the time I caught him, we both were laughing. Who could get angry at that? My son literally smiled his way out of countless punishments he really deserved because I was & STILL AM a sucker for "cheekyness". If anything, it's endearing. This case made me cry. Not the first or the last tho, I'm sure. Thank you again Emma.
@@mc1069 Thank you 😊
Father was a monster , Mother was a coward!!! Poor little Robert , you deserved so much more xxx 😞
Such a beautiful baby boy. He deserved so much better than he recieved in this world 💔
I am a Romanian loyal viewer of yours! I recognized the name to be Romanian but I'm not familiar with this event. I was shocked to learn a bit about this case after a Google search but I can't wait for your take on it!
YES! And in 2020 at that, with no news coverage on our side that I remember of...
I hope Robert found a family worthy of him on the other side...🤍
@ Raluca, me too! I’m Romanian and recognised the name as being Romanian. Also a very loyal subscriber of Emma’s and was so happy to read you comment! 😊
@@ibike825 Aww how lovely 🥰 I'm always looking forward to these videos and I'm happy that I found other Romanians here 🤩 Romanians on Emma's channel unite 👊✌🤗💓
❤️
Same here🤗
I worked in a kids hospice in the uk and looked after a girl of 18 mths who had been shaken. It was traumatising. Beautiful little girl she was
This makes me so sad I look after children with additional needs and with life limiting and life threatening conditions and I feel privileged to part of these children’s lives to watch them thrive to the best of their ability. These children are so vulnerable and just need love and support. Poor Robert he was a beautiful baby with vile parents who didn’t deserve him!!
@emmakenney- you've never once failed to grab (and keep) my attention with every upload... which is why I've already 'liked' this before it's even premiered!
Thank you for the incredible work you put in to each and every story.
I love the way you tell a story. It's almost as if I can see what you're describing.
The poor helpless little sister. She must have been absolutely terrified. I hope she’s in a loving home with people that treat well her and cherish her. RIP beautiful baby Robert 🙏 The “Mother” should get life meaning life.
She is.
@@fklmam I’m so pleased 🙏
I made the decision at 12 that I was never having children. However I have raised 2 nieces and a nephew. And I’m now helping to raise their children.
I think your doing a great job in covering these awful stories, these precious victims will never be forgotten..My own childhood was horrible to say the least and I consider myself & my exhusnand truly blessed to have 2 beautiful children!!! Please look after your mental health always 💓
Ahh Em, you’re killing me lol! 😂 ‘car accident - bring out the onions’!!!
Seriously though, another fantastic video! Your compassion and always being a voice for these victims is unmatched! The humour and sarcasm brings spots of light relief throughout these tragic cases.
I can imagine the paramedics running to the scene shouting “have you applied onions yet” and seeing Asda bags on the road as the witnesses frantically went through their shopping only to find shallots!!
@@rebeccaholmes1982 ha ha!!! 🤣 followed up by, ‘’ shallots?!?! I knew we should’ve gone to Tesco!’’!!!
I appreciate the Anger you show for there Precious Little Babies 's Suffering, and Murder. It Needs to Stop!!!
This breaks my heart. Next to my nan there was a child with down syndrome and now I have a next door neighbour whose daughter has downs and I can honestly say they are both the most amazing children you could ever meet. So polite, bright and so friendly. The idea that anyone can harm a child is despicable and even more so when they are extremely vulnerable. Breaks my heart
To a Tiny, Defenseless, Innocent BABY!!! God I Heaven!! And she covered it up!! UNFORGIVABLE!!! 💔💔💔🧸🧸🧸🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏🙏🙏 Prayers for Robert, and his Sister!🧸🧸🧸🧸🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔
I thought that ALL new parents treated their precious babies like they were, “made of porcelain”!! 😳🤯
Our son was over 12 pounds & very strong when he was born…we treated him like the most fragile, precious & delicate little person ever!!!
The love and compassion you tell these truly heartbreaking cases just fills me with so much respect and adoration for you. Emma, you are such an amazing creator. From a devoted Kenny's Crime Cult fab xx
I also wanted to add that I live in a very “spare the rod, spoil the child” area of the world. People spanking with a wooden spoon or spanking with any object is widely accepted and “normal” here and I just never understood it. It just makes me sad to think that folks are hitting their children while they’re angry while also trying to teach them not to hit others while angry. 🤦🏻♀️
There is an actual practice of parenting called "Parenting with Love and Logic" that promotes using an object, rather than your hand, to "spank" a child so that they don't associate your hand with violence or punishment. I have always failed to see where the love or logic is in that type of thinking. I personally think their entire model is seriously messed up, but that one really got to me.
I grew up in the caribbean and this was considered normal. I got hit with belts all the time
I have nearly watched everything on Emma's Channel now. I used to watch loads of 48 hours but It does not compare !
cheeky kids are without a doubt my favorite. I adore they're giggles and outbursts of extreme personality.
I just started watching this and I already know that this one is going to affect me hard. I am a caregiver of an amazing young man who is autistic has downs syndrome and is non verbal. He is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. 🙏🙏🙏 I was hoping that this story would at the least turn away from the children not that it's any better but the is a monster not a human being this man needs to have the same exact things done to him right down to the wooden spoon. This poor baby boy didn't stand a chance and his mother failed to save him 😢 R.I.P SWEET BABY Robert 💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Emma. I was wondering if you could cover Bernadette Walker at some point? I do admittedly have a personal interest as she was one of my daughters friends. I would really love more of a light to be shone on this case. Her body has never been recovered. My hope is that someone somewhere may have seen something suspicious on the day she went missing and one of your deep dives might just jog a memory. Thank you for such consistently great content x
Have you seen The 'Stolen from Me, True Crime' Channel?? .....Linzi Has Talked about Bernadette, .... Hope your Daughter is okay, .....I have followed Bernadettes Story on the News etc, Just couldn't get her out of my head, Just wanted to hug her! ....🥺
You should try to reach out to Kendall Rae and her Husband Josh. They have their own podcasts and The one they do together is Mile Higher.
HOW?! 😭😭 my son was born with no additional needs and I still treated him like he was made of porcelain. How can anybody hurt a baby! 😭😭😭😭
I had never heard of this case. Shocking. Thanks em. Stay safe everyone.
I finally caught a premier! Love your videos. You give a voice to these poor victims! Thanks for all you do!
Can't even stress how important it is for children to feel safe, I used to almost have anxiety attacks through my childhood walking home from school because I was so scared about whether I was walking into my stepmum and dad arguing again or not. Awful for a child to be in that situation especially when violence is involved.
When you described the part about the brain and a baby shaking. It broke my heart. Like what kind of human could ever
I also feel most dreadfully sorry for the little girl who has lost her brother and her parents, I don’t know if her first language was English but at 2/3 years old this must have been very traumatic.
As for the father, he needs locking up forever!
The mother in my opinion is a hard one, people “said” she gave as good as he gave her, but they didn’t live her life! I’m not for one minute condoning what she did, im just saying no one knows what goes on behind closed doors!
Rip little Robert 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
😔😢😔
You sound like you’re condoning it…
@@MsTinkerbelle87 read it again, look at both sides of the coin lady…..
What a gift you have of telling a story. The way you put together the facts with your feelings and thoughts is amazing. I really enjoy listening to your videos. Thank you for you time and effort.
My heart breaks for this little boy 💔
Emma, another eye opening upload. 👍🙏
Lol "Children are definitely the best thing that were ever invented". It's so true though! ALL the best or most improved things about me were brought out by children (mainly from raising my own, but even by other people's)! Kids are amazing, challenging, joyful gifts & deserve to be treated as such! That's why these cases hit SO hard. 😢❤️
The best anti-depressant for me was hearing my baby laughing hysterically at random things. Also cuddling him. He is 11 now. Not quite as giggly or cuddly but he's still the light of my life
@@hamstermunchies5558 Omg SAME! Aways dealt with some level of depression, but never once the post-partum variety, my kids were & still are the most effective anti-depressants too! I mean, it also goes a long way having that kind of meaning & purpose, as well as so much less actual time to dwell on yourself!
I'll be honest I don't have the same sentiments about children. Don't get me wrong I'm completely against any form of abuse. But I personally find children to be a great nuisance and i don't enjoy being in their presence, I really don't find them endearing at all
I’ve followed Emma from day 1 video. There are quite a few I’ve missed so I’m catching up on the ones I’ve missed.
♥️ U, Emma!

Using a wooden spoon on a toddler!!! Disgusting!!! I have an almost 8 year old daughter who is absolutely amazing but has had moments that have tested me…you know what I did, I put her in a room or her cot when she was a toddler and walked away to count to ten and calm down. I never once wanted to hit my child. There is absolutely never any need or excuse to hit your child! NEVER!!!
Yeah I couldn’t even conceive of laying a hand on my six year old wee girl. I’m lucky because she’s even tempered and very well behaved but she’s not perfect of course. But she’s never tested my patience enough to make me feel violent.
This was the hardest true life crime I have listened to,, in all of your true crime video's. It was to hear how she was tortured as some of them was very triggering for. I sat here in tears of not only that poor childs treatment from her mother, in her time of need but, those bastards who are called humans and parents themselves. I had a bad childhood but I never would dream of that kind of torture. This one will stay with me for a while. I love all your videos and I am slowly making my way through them. Thank you for your not just your take on those crimes but your empathy to the person whom it anout. 😢😢❤❤
Fairly new sub here and I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. You ooze compassion and empathy for these families/victims, and do such an amazing job giving their stories justice. I could listen to your voice/accent all day!
Jesus, cant believe how many such cases there are! How on earth as a mother you just watch somebody assaulting your child, will never understand that.
And if you struggle to care for a vulnerable child, there is help offered. My respect goes out to all those brave and loving parents raising a vulnerable child, it is for sure an adventure and very hard at times💗
When I had my daughter 2 years ago midwives highlighted 'icon' which is about the fact if you're stressed you can put the baby down somewhere safe. They can cry assuming you've done standard bits like nappy and feeding, and are struggling to settle them. You can take a step away for a moment instead of causing harm to them.
I think it's really important to highlight, as some people feel unable to put the baby down when they are crying, which can lead to stressed parents doing this.
Having grown up around many individuals with downs due to mum’s work & volunteer work, all I can say is that these individuals should never have been allowed the privilege of having such a precious child in their care. He should have been with a family who would have appreciated the love and joy that he would have brought into their home
This may be the first video I can’t get through…My daughter was born with Down’s Syndrome and had associated problems and she passed away aged 6 months and 4 days…This is going to be tough 😞
I'm so sorry you (and her) had to go through that & I hope you're healing as well as one possibly can after the loss of a child. 💜
So so sorry for your loss! How heartbreaking! Sending love xx
So sorry for your loss, Lisa. 💔 I hope the happier memories with your beautiful little girl bring you much needed comfort on those tough days. My mam had to bury my sister in 2004, so my heart goes out to you. I know the devastating effect it has on families, so I know you never get over something like this happening to you. Our beautiful angels 😇 will be watching over us and I truly believe in my heart we will see them again one day. When that day comes they will be with us for eternity and we will never feel this pain and loss ever again. Every day brings us one step closer to that beautiful day when we will have them back in our arms. Until then we need to cherish our lives and live it as best as we can for them. 💗 Gentle 🫂 hugs to you Lisa. xx
I’m so sorry for yr loss
This broke my heart, fly high beautiful boy 💙👼🏻😭💔
Definitely would love to hear an American case/presentation with “bang to rights” in the summing up!!! It’s the perfect “gotcha”! Another great job, Em xx
Your shows like a Left/Right combination. Great stories, and I get to look at you!!!
My one and only grandbaby was born in Sept 2020. I can not imagine losing her at 6 months old. I can NOT fathom that her parents would be responsible for that. This is a terrible, horrific case. 😢
Wow. I have a 20 month old, as well as a 5 year old. If I was to beat my youngest with a wooden spoon every time she got "cheeky" or resisted a nappy change, well, that object would simply never leave my hand. I can't fathom abuse and cruelty, nevermind directed at a child, much less, your own child. I wish these types of people would refrain from becoming parents. There is no biggest blessing than a cheeky child. It means they are alive, at ease, playful, happy. I wish I could adopt all the children in need of consistent love, care and security, truly I do. RIP beautiful baby Robert 🖤
As a parent of a child I find it hard to believe anyone can harm a baby or any child at all let alone one with downs! I'm a Mother to a son with Autism and I am fiercely protective if him to the point I've cut people out our lives who I felt treat him different like he was stupid 😭 I honestly am heartbroken for this poor little angel he deserved so much more.
I had to stop half way through this case to cry. How human beings can be so despicable to children, let alone an innocent tiny being as young as this, it is incomprehensible to me. Rip baby Robert, im sorry you had to go through so much undeserved pain 😢
This makes me so sad 😞 this poor baby was born to monsters who didn't deserve him. There is women like me who are unable to have children. So hearing stories where parents have killed their defenceless baby just makes my blood boil. My hubby has 2 boys from his previous marriage and his oldest son has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk or talk and he has epilepsy & is tube fed. The boys were 3 and 7 when I came into their life. I feel so lucky I became their step mam and l loved them from the start & looked forward to them both coming to stay every wkend. I have a good relationship with their mam and I respect her, and have always appreciated that she bought me mothers day cards and gifts when the boys were younger. I will never forget her thanking me for loving her boys and taking such good care of them because her 1st husbands new wife was horrible towards her 3rd oldest son. 😔 It just puzzles me why anyone would want to hurt a child. My instinct has always been maternal towards my step sons, they are both my world and I am so proud of them. I love them both so much and they are now 16 and 20. We still help and support their mam when the oldest is in hospital because being a parent is a 24/7 job. Having a child with special needs is hard but it's a blessing because these children teach us so much about life and what truly matters. I am just so sad and sorry little Robert 😢 wasn't given the love and protection he deserved. If the parents were struggling to meet his needs they are other options available. You only have to ask for help and if they really couldn't cope or meet their child's needs then they should have looked into adoption. Better doing that than taking their anger & frustration out onto an innocent child. The fact these monsters showed no remorse, tells me everything I need to know about them as people. I am sorry the world let you down sweet boy. Rest peacefully in the arms of the angels. I am sadly terminally ill, so God willing when I get my wings I will come and find you and be your mummy and show you what it's like to be loved and cherished. 💗xx
You're right. They also could have put him into a care home or convalescence facility if they couldn't handle his full-time care! Anything is better than abusing your child like this! I get it. If I ever have a child that will require full time, 24/7 care, I will have to put them into a facility because I physically cannot take care of a child that would require that extent of care.
Emma, I disagree with you that nothing good comes out of physical punishment. I spank my kids, and they are perfectly fine. They are good kids. I get compliments on them all the time regarding their behavior. With children, you have to establish that you are the boss.And there is nothing wrong with spanking a 2 yr old. Now, with said, you do NOT beat them, hit them with a closed fist or hand, pull their hair, slap them in the face or head, push them, or scream at them! And food is a basic life necessity, it is NOT a privilege! It should NEVER be used as a punishment, and a child should never be sent to bed or anywhere else without food, ever!
What a beautiful baby boy ❤️❤️. I have a brother who is special needs and has always been such a blessing in my family's life. He is now 54 year's old.
I was so excited to come across your channel! Love listening to your expert opinions on true crime documentaries that i've watched on TV and i always agree 100% because you say what i think! Your passion is contagious and i think it's brilliant that you're not afraid to say what you feel. Thank you for doing this 🌷
Wow, this made me cry. I’ve worked with Down syndrome kids and they are so gentle, loving and generally happy. I’ll never understand violence against anyone, but particularly against innocent children.
Robert was a Beautiful Little Sweetheart!💔💔💔💔🧸🧸🧸🧸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Emma. Out of all the podcasts I watch, your definitely consistent! Love that. And I love the deep dives. U have a gr8 personality too. I bet your ornery too.😉
My friend had a brother with downs and he was the sweetest, best temperednkittle guy around and he had needed open heart surgery when he was born but it didn't phase him one bit. He's an absolute delight to be around ❤
My granddaughter is 19 months old. She screams like she's being tortured when she's getting a nappy change. I can never imagine hurting her for doing that. She also has temper tantrums if she can't get across what she wants to say because she is a baby. I can't imagine anyone wanting to do that to a baby.
Very, very brilliantly put together and told. Well done Emma, well done. Canada
Emma Kenny’s crime cult is the only cult I’ll ever join! It’s the only good cult ever invented! I love you Emma and I LOVE your logic and how your so smart! Your smarter than any true crime youtuber I watch frequently! I hope you never stop making these videos!! You got a special talent! And in my eyes your a true crime legend queen❤️🦾❤️🦾
Never heard this case thankyou for covering this may he r.i.p 😢
My grandson had cerebral palsy and a few other health issues and we were told not to let him cry but I can't remember why so I never let him cry and I never put him down. He was pure love and everyone who met him loved him and he loved everyone except his biological father. His father had 1 visit with his father and he cried so his father brought him right back to us and everytime his biological father came around my beautiful grandson my grandson would cry so hard until his father left and then he'd go right back to being the happy loving boy that everyone else knew. We lost him to liver cancer and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him and I don't miss him so when I see special needs babies and kids being abused my soul hurts like nothing else because when you look in the face of a special needs baby and child all you see is pure love and it makes zero sense to do anything but love them and protect them with your whole being.
When I was born, my collar bone was broken when I was delivered, no one's fault. But my parents were instructed to be very gentle with me, since baby bones are so flexible and all, it'd grow back wrong, and it hurt ofc. My mom said it was so difficult as a new mom to deal with a baby in general, and one that you could barely touch on one side, but she still managed to perfectly care for me and my injury so I grew up with my arm just fine. I later broke it at 14, but even in the xray, the original injury had knitted perfectly because she'd been so delicate.
Love your sarcasm Emma 😂!! Your channel is awesome, always look forward to it!
Imagine adults hitting each other on a regular basis each time someone says or does something you don’t agree with …
Hitting children is abhorrent !
There are some crimes there are no words for...and this is one of them. 😱😪🙏🏻
Can't wait for this one. Another I haven't heard of. I have another request for your list, Rachel Burkheimer. Heartbreaking like most of these cases, she was forced to watch her grave being dug & I'm not sure but she may have been forced to help dig it too.
I was so happy when I found your page, always loved documentaries when you were on you give the victims a voice and I can't thank you enough for that x
"Serious car accident? Bring the toothpaste!" British sarcasm at its finest, dripping with disdain.
I would take Robert over his parents ANY DAY!
Rest in Paradise, Sweet Baby! You were too good for this world.
Robert was a beautiful baby, so heartbreaking. R.i.p little one 💗
I gave birth in 2020, I'm already struggling with this one.
Also, I am too honest. Even when I'm in the wrong I own up to it, regardless of how it looks.
I have alot of mental health disabilities which effect my everyday living to the point I had no choice to place my kids in care for 6 months or longer until I am mentally in a place I can parent the way I need too.
I have zero sympathy for either of these parents. The " mother" infuriated me beyond belief.
Again another good true crime, thank you Emma, a case I hadn’t heard of bless his heart 💜, it’s bad when anyone loses their life but think it’s a hundred times worse when it’s kids, their born in this world to be loved 🥰 & looked after, again thanks Emma & Dusted 💜💜
Your consistency is epic. Been a fan for as long as I can remember. Thank you for being a punk rocker as well. 🤘🌷
Hi Emma, fantastic show! Thank you! Have you heard of the devastating and horrendous case of a woman who passed away while "melted to the couch". It was an autistic woman in the care of her parents who was severely neglected. Would be interesting to see the back story on this. The parents have been arrested.
Both of these Precious, Helpless Little Babies had to be So Scared!! Breaks my heart!💔💔💔💔
I'm curious about the daughter ending up in foster care instead of with Ion's family. It makes me wonder if they were really as supportive as stated, or if the agency didn't feel they were suitable care givers.
I remember my mum saying that when I would cry and she couldn’t work out why she had to walk out of the room for 5 mins. She told me that she always made sure I was safe but at times the crying drove her to distraction. She was alone and exhausted and caring for her sick mum but she did the right thing x love you mum
Not a normal mother. Not a normal father. How, just how can people do this. They must know what harm they're doing; they must know how society views this kind of behaviour....how sodding wrong it is.
Such a beautiful baby, he’s playing with the angels, and God willing I’ll get to see him one day.
"What a hero" - brilliant
I’m 52 years old, my parents believed in corporal punishment and I’ve been hit with wooden spoons… so unnecessary! We were already scared to death of our parents, they didn’t need weapons. I’m glad we did not pass abuse to our children. Hitting does nothing but scare a child and piss them off. But, we were usually well behaved.
In the States, in my hometown an 11 year-old girl who many of my friends knew was shot to death by her dad before he committed suicide. She left the house with police covered in her daughter's blood.
In regards to infanticide THE WORST was "Baby Brianna" Unspeakable things were down to that baby and she was only 6 months old.
Emma, please, please, please cover the case of Lacey Ellen Fletcher. Her parents are being charged with second-degree murder but the more I learn the more I want to do to them what they allowed to happen to her.
the case of the girl who melted into the couch i to would love to hear Emma on this case
Emma please do Sylvia likens case I know you done junkos but can’t see Sylvia’s anywhere also isn’t a load of videos on Sylvia compared to junko and I’d like you to deep dive it of course
Yes I hope she does this one! Although I think it's the case that haunts me the most!
@@jordenx9975 seriously I can’t decide is Sylvia’s or junkos is worse both so fucked
Hello, Emma. I'm watching again, and wanted to Thank You for sharing Baby Robert's Heartbreaking Story.💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🧸🧸🧸🕊️🕊️🕊️
So sad. I hope they never get out!! My special needs daughter went to school with a girl who's father shook her. She was a beautiful little girl who sadly lost her fight after many years of suffering because of someone who should have protected her
5fff
Thank you as always for your content and deep dives. I have to say I really want a green KCC hoodie. It might just be my lighting but looks good if it is green xx
R.I.P. Robert 😔😢😔
The using corporal punishment on the 2 yr old doesn't even surprise me unfortunately. Many people who use it do it more when the child is little so that they don't "have to" as much when they get older.
And according to the Pearls' "parenting" book "To Train Up a Child", they're pretty much never too young (this book has coincidentally been linked to several child deaths)
I truly hope you’ll cover the tragic story of a little boy called Takoda Collins. There’s hardly been any coverage of this and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I know you’d telll his story with the compassion and love he deserves and never recieved💜
I've asked for this one too. Beyond horrific 💔
That one is horrendous. I think home schooled kids should have regular proper checks so escalating issues are picked up on.
