She had a child still... this means that was cleared and checked to baby sit by professionals . Other kids whould have been taken for drugs or no money-home, thats the normal assumption a person whould make , not that she is abuser that the goverment knows and let her still do it to the next with no care
This was mistake number one that I’m trying to figure out why the parents even allowed them to baby sit to begin with. (But maybe they didn’t know) This whole situation could’ve been avoided. But hey, what do I know
@@Grottgreta to be fair, should you be leaving your child with anyone you don't know well enough to know this kind of information about? Your infant at that? It is no one's fault but the perpetrators, but I'm sure this mother has learned an agonizing lesson.
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats exactly. It's so outrageous and unfortunate that people that shouldn't be watching children are often times babysitters or running daycares out of their homes. I've seen a few cases where the woman was babysitting in her home, then she killed a child. It's too bad they are not self-aware and realize that they have frailties and childcare might not be the best option for employment.
Stephanie Soo has a video covering this case, apparently Marissa injured two other young children/infants and lost custody of her and Adam's four other kids. The police already knew Marissa was a danger, but I guess nothing was done to alert the community, (like you would with a sex offender), so Heather thought Marissa was OK to babysit as they were old high school friends. Absolutely horrific.
i’ve always had a strange feeling when operators tell u to do that i mean i get it kinda but when does that actually help when a person is obviously cold and lifeless.. just unnecessary trauma super heartbreaking
Her face when they told her the baby was dead is honestly frightening. Her attempt to pretend to cry through that maniacal grin was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
Psycopaths are incapable of feeling emotions. And really incapable of making choices because of not understanding emotions. They're like bodies without souls. That's why she never seemed sad. She literally can't feel sadness or anything. Mostly they just learn to mimic others
The attention, maybe for the government cheques, maybe she likes the _idea_ of being a mom and then remembers it's hard work and the drugs are more appealing... She's such a waste of a person.
Giving the deceased baby back to the mother is about the most cold-blooded thing I’ve ever heard! She cries the crocodile tears but she is a psychopath that needs to never care for another child again. RIP Benson. You didn’t deserve that, sweet angel.
Your comment makes no sense she should never be able to care for a child again. Don’t you mean she should be in jail forever then how could she ever care for another child.
Benson’s mother doesn’t get a pass. The absolutely legendary intelligence she must have possessed to leave your baby in the care of a woman that has had all of her children seized by CPS. I can’t…
this is 100% Marissa's fault. But there's a lesson to be learnt here: never EVER let your kids be looked after by parents who have lost custody of their own children!!!
People lie. And people always want to believe their friends/family. I know someone personally who has custody of their children because the mother put them in danger - yet her friends and family all believe she is actually innocent. Even though the police and courts and social workers and doctors all say otherwise.
My general rule of thumb to allow someone to watch my kid is 1) do they have kids older then mine? 2) has anything bad happened to their children? Based on the answers is how I decide
For some reason I feel like he might have been alive at McDonalds they're dumb but, I'm not sure they're that dumb. In the hotel room when they let them near each other and he's asking if I grabbed him or you there was some very suspicious looks and her immediate response that she grabbed him seems like a cover. They also had the time from fleeing the apartment to getting to the hotel and being at the hotel to try and solidify their story, which they still messed up a lot but, I certainly believe they are dumb enough to not be able to come up with coherent cover stories. I have no doubt in my mind he knows more than he's saying at a minimum and he may have had direct involvement in the murder.
She should NEVER be released, she killled a baby, lied about it, manipulated others and shows NO remorse for ANYTHING she's done. She should get life in prison and throw away the key.
There should be a registry for child abuse and neglect and anyone on the registry should absolutely not be babysitting or watching any children. Unbelievable. This is sad and it was preventable.
There is, it’s called a background check. The parents who allowed someone to watch their kids with child abuse convictions who’d lost custody of her own kids have failed as parents. It costs less than $50 on many websites to look up records on ppl. If you can’t afford to run that check, you can’t afford to have kids. Many places you can contact the county clerk’s office for access to public records for free or just the cost of printing the paper.
It's genuinely horrific how she "cries" and immediately gets distracted with a question, suddenly calm and collected and focused. Terrible liar and an absolute monster of a human being.
Her her smile was so evil I got the feeling that she threw Benson until she killed them, there was no trying to save him, she was frustrated and took it out on that little baby, and she threw him until he died. There was no trying to help him the ladies cold calculated and manipulative that's why she took them to McDonald's. And made believe everything was okay. She's right where she belongs.
Junkie grin. Some junkies lose so much self esteem from drug abuse they take their anger out on anything they consider weaker. Males on females, females on the elderly babies etc. Life's ugly for so many I'm afraid and she is a living reflection of it. The child was the beauty.
She has an important job to do. All the positions, timelines, questions. She caught them and gave a great case to prosecutors and helped match up all the medical findings for the coroner. very good work.
@@chriskimandchloe9397 they're saying there should be some sort of legislation, mental evaluation, license etc before you have children. You're not very smart
it made me so uncomfortable to see it, you can see her trying not to smile the whole time, its so nerve wracking? to see, I feel for heather and her family, it was so heartbreaking to see the cctv at the start
When I was a kid my babysitter had a child pass away during a nap due to SIDS. Not only did she immediately call 911 and the parents, but she was emotionally affected by it for the rest of her life. Marissa's ability to be so casual and not have any emotional reaction to the situation is deeply disturbing
Was your babysitter a smoker? They now think that many SIDS cases are caused by cigarette smoke. Many are also caused by putting a baby on its stomach.
I started babysitting a friend’s cousin’s baby at six weeks old and her previous baby had died from SIDS. I was so nervous and paranoid. Nothing ever happened thank goodness. I watched her until she was over a year old. I cannot imagine what parents go through losing a child like that. 😢
Wow! I’m so sorry for your babysitter. How unbelievably traumatic. (I realize The baby in your story passing is obviously horrendous for the parents.) I’m acknowledging the fact that your babysitter went through something awful as well. I hope she was able to accept it wasn’t her fault. This is a story that WIlL stay with me.
It makes me think it's Munchusens by Proxy which is a mental disturbance where a mother deliberately causes illness or injury to a child for the attention payoff of medical or law enforcements intense investigation and attention paid to unraveling the sequence. This is done repeadedly as is the case with Marissa.
I wonder how cluttered the walls of her jail cell are. At a minimum, photos of her 6 kids that taxpayers are paying for and of kids that she babysat… living and not.
She has no remorse. She willingly went to McDonald’s with a dead baby, never called 911, never called the parents, handed the mom a dead baby in a car seat, immediately went to a hotel, unplugged the camera, and laughed throughout the entire investigation.
I once sent my kids to a home day care that was run by a woman with excellent references. She was also president of the local home day care group that also recommended her. I walked into the place unexpectedly one day and saw her scream at and slap a child. I took my kids out immediately and got the help of our pediatrician to shut her down. This was in 1992.
Yelling at a child is normal, kids can be monsters at times. And spanking is ok too, but not abuse or hitting them on the head or face. Spanking their butt is necessary.
@@paige-95 Some people have no other option. Also it is a DAYCARE. The majority of daycares aren't like this, it is a statistical anomaly. How are they supposed to know?
The male detective seems so pissed off but is controlling himself so well. I got an air from him like he was on the verge of snapping but had to stay professional, and the lady just seemed so depressed and dumbfounded. How could you do that to a sweet little baby? It’s so messed up. But the detectives did amazing.
@wodentoad1 That's one lame excuse. Your saying that the only choice was to leave a baby with these monsters or nothing! I'll choose nothing and loose my job and find another.
I am impressed by the female officer's ability to go from the autopsy of the baby to speak with his killer and keep her temper and disgust under control - most of the time
@@mahiryp Frankly they might also not be that emotionally invested, not that that's a good or bad thing. If every doctor had a breakdown every time they lost a patient for example we simply wouldn't have any doctors. I think being a good detective/doctor etc requires acknowledging that karma isn't real - good things happen to bad people and horrible things happen to good people all the time for no reason and often without any sort of closure. The woman is also clearly mentally ill, developmentally arrested and has a few infantile dispositions (the constant "promise" language for example). If you can't view it clinically you'll go insane at some point.
I think this is actually the most sinister police interview I've ever seen. The fact that anyone can chuckle about not doing CPR on a baby that died in her care is so horrifying. The fake crying is unbearable to watch.
@@michaelstrickland3235 that one was sad :( and the pain she inflicted on her 2 kids then stuffing them in the freezer for a year is unimaginable but the fact that she said she would do it all over again in a heart beat made my jaw hit the floor :(
Why would you let you two month old be with someone like this? Weird. They even made the comment that “she’s not all there” well TOU LEFT YOUR KID WITH THIS WEIRDO. Y’all are weird af
This whole case sounds crazy. U can clearly see there is something wrong with her. How did the mother put the child in the car and buckle Benson in without seeing he was a different color and he was cold. He was a Caucasian child so he had to be purple. How did the mom not see that before getting all the way to the laundrymat. If I was the detective I would've taken another look at the parents also.
@@leesanurse6474You read my mind. Anytime I picked up my son, I would pick him up and give him cheek kisses and baby talk to him as I assume every parent does. There is something fishy about this.
Jesus. She's got to be be a sociopath. When my son was a baby (14 months old), the daycare lady accidentally hurt his arm while trying to catch him as he scooted himself off the changing table. She immediately called me at wok, crying hysterically and told me to meet her at the emergency room asap. She was so open, honest, and very obviously extremely distraught at the thought of having hurt him. She was sobbing so hard that she was dry heaving. I recall having to comfort her as much as I comforted my son. I KNEW it was an accident. The sorrow and pain in her eyes told me the truth.
I’m a daycare worker and I appreciate this so much ❤ there are some very good people out there that take care of children, and things do happen, albeit rarely. It’s amazing that you were able to give the woman grace in that situation because I know it was difficult.
Had a young lady in her seventies explain how my son got a knee scrape (on the playground) and other staff at the daycare had to use two bandages on him. When she explained she had looked away for just a few seconds while attending to the needs of another child and she did not see exactly when my son fell, her voice was cracking and I could see she was fighting back tears very hard. You cannot fake love and care at that level; I never felt more sure that we choose the appropriate daycare for our son. As a parent, you just know.
@@rolandolemus1352Having been on n the other side of that, I can confirm it’s gut wrenching. I babysat for my nephews when they were babies and young children and everything was fine when they were young. Always returned them without so much as a bump or scratch. No, the problem was when the eldest got old enough to be taken to the park! He was on the swings while I watch, and I swear, the moment I looked down to attend to his brother, who was on the bench with me, three years younger and what happened? Of course it was that moment the eldest fell off the swing and tumbled to the ground. I’ll never forget the sickening feeling of that moment. Fortunately he got away with just bruises and scrapes-I always have a first aid kit with me so I patched him up and called their mother straight away. I felt horrible for the rest of the day and watched him like a hawk, ready to take him to a doctor or hospital if there was a hint of anything else wrong, but he recovered from it faster than I did. My brother and his wife were cool with it as accidents happen. I didn’t mind them thoroughly inspecting him at pickup-even left the room to allow them some privacy. It was ghastly. I felt like I’d failed them.
The way she smirks and laughs when asked why she didn't do CPR is chilling. She knew he wasn't breathing, and instead of calling for help she paraded a dead infant in public.
Hearing the mother screaming in the beginning crushed me, and then to watch this woman laughing there about a dead baby, pretending she never knew it was dead, then admitting at the end she knew the whole time...Horrendous. Disgusting. Words cannot describe.
It's super sad that anyone could intentionally hurt a infant, Evan more so then to do it in cold blood and give the lifeless corpse to the mother. It turns my stomach. She deserved life in prison
@@jamiestewart48 it goes to show that even the mother was completely devastated, she tried her best to help her baby even though it was already too late
@@notpeachykeen6823 this is horrifying. my sponsor in AA just told me "God doesn't give us anymore than we can handle" then i come across this nightmare. there aren't words.
@@jessifica That's a tactic to get her to admit she killed the kid. There's no accidental murder when you throw a baby. It was part of the "you're not a monster" approach
She’s a psychopath. She has no feeling what so ever about killing that baby. Laughing her way through it. Fake crying. Makes me sick. How is someone like that allowed to watch other people’s kids when her own are taken away from her? Ridiculous!! And she keeps making more kids. Smh
The mother and sister said they knew her for years and her behavior never came into question?! You could spend 5 minutes with her and see there is something not quite right with her. Rest in Heaven, Benson.
What's crazy, at the beginning they said they did notice something was off about her. Even demanded, "I KNOW Marissa". Not once from picking the baby up, buckling him in, driving him around without a peep, un buckle him, carry him in, placing him on the table nearly face heighth, did they not notice the baby having multiple head injuries, blue lips, not moving, cold..........
@@laurac5591 its almost like you don't want to wake up a baby at 9 of fucking clock because you like sleep. Do you know what a baby even is? Because you just said something truly ignorant. Oh she didn't check on her kid at 9 oclock becasue she was driving to the laundromat. Oh ill just check the baby while driving, youre a goddamned genius.
@@laurac5591 yep exactly. I don't know how a mom would not check the baby first after not seeing him for a while... Such a tragic & unnecessary loss of life.
@@DerDrecksack87I can totally agree. Like when I’m at work or school. My kids are with my mom not saying she would let anything happen. I am very observant and questionable. If any marks are in their face or legs or if they say somewhere is hurting. I want an explanation from them and of course anyone who was there at the time.
@@puclopuclik4108Right! Let them do all that fast talking. Even after they come up for air because they'll talk through the awkward silence too. 🤷🏾♀️👌🏾
How did this freak get this far without killing a baby? We know she's done child abuse before, but what crimes did she get away with? She is truly a retarded psychopath. She has no remorse. She does not care that she killed baby Benson and she HANDED HIS CORPSE OVER TO HIS MOTHER LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED! It's bizarre.
There needs to be a child abuse registry.. Like what they have for sexual abuse. That way parents can look on the registry to be sure their potential caregiver is not an abuser. I do realize this won't prevent all abuse from taking place but it would be a good step in the right direction,
There is a registry that employers use to check if their employees have ever had an allegation of child abuse. The employee has to sign an affidavit to have this background check. It would help if this information was available for parents to use as well.
There is. It’s public record. If someone is looking after my child I’m definitely going deeper than the abyss finding out who their grandmothers ex boyfriends mothers side piece was.
The way we deal with child abusers is so horribly ineffective, and has led to lives being lost. I see no reason why there shouldn't be a registry for child-abusers, like there are for sex-offenders. They should have to place a sign on their front lawn, and have to notify their neighbors.
I pulled my daughter from school due to her having issues with another student. It was a long process of meeting with teachers and liaison officers and yada yada. Finally I had enough, didn't trust the school caring for my kid so I pulled her. Started collecting her homework and schoolwork and turning it in each week and began looking for another school. Due to no school choice it wasn't easy. Long story short we found a great school and got her enrolled and I contacted the dept of education. Less than a week later they sent child protective services to our house. Come to find out the other student's aunt was superintendent. They filed a complaint out of spite. I had to prove we had food and a bed and they took my daughter and asked her all types of inappropriate questions about me and her "relationship". She was 9. I was mortified. I got a lawyer and we got everything resolved but for a few weeks I was scared they could take her and I couldn't stop them. Meanwhile people like these scumbags have multiple kids and get chance after chance after chance.... It's literally disgusting
They deal with these horrible ppl so often. Much more than we do. That they can probably grow cold to it. I’ve heard that a lot of policemen drag this emotionless attitude home with them. 🤷🏼♀️
@@annissa5356Not true at all...they are human and have family children themselves...not to mention hits home as it in their own community...maybe a cpl ppl can disconnect tho majority are effected for life especially when children involved...seen 1st hand being in fam long line of L.E. pls understand this, I know in today's climate its all about LE Hate and most is so far from truth however it has saturated the minds of today that LE is enemy...that is most disturbing of all
I honestly hate cps because they either take your child because your house is to dirty or they leave a child in custody of an obvious abuser and of course they generally put kids in a worse situation than they were in the first place
Or because you have no choice but to leave your kid alone because you have to work 2 or 3 jobs to keep food on the table , clothes on your child back and a roof over their head becaiuse the government has made rent and everything else so damn high
Craziest part is every foster home that i have seen "been friends with kids that were fostered in my teen years" has treated their foster kids amazing and they loved it.
Anyone notice how when she’s “crying” and they ask her a question, she’s immediately fine and answers like it’s almost a casual conversation? This lady is actually horrible
She's been lieing her while entire life an mastered the art of it. She isn't crazy or doesn't have mental issues she is just an evil girl and she is a user. She probably been abusing children for a long time. Especially the fact that she had multiple men sending her money in jail. She knows exactly what she is doing. She is selfish and only thinks about herself. She is not sorry for what she did. Rest in peace little Benson and to the other children that were lucky enough to not die they are extremely lucky
That woman creeps me out SO bad! She is what nightmares are made of! The wide vacant eyes, pretending to be crying but actually smiling and never blinking, all while being questioned about a baby’s death..!? She’s scarier than ANY horror villain EVER! I believe she is enjoying the whole thing. Edit: I cannot believe she only got 37 years! That’s far from justice if you ask me. She’s vile!🤢
these facts astound me as to HOW those sisters knowing this woman, could EVER have thought a child was safe in her presence. even her face shows the signs of neurological damage from her drug abuse. we see it all the time. sometimes the drug test is just to confirm what we already know from examining a person. shes completely burnt out her brain for life
Did anyone else get extremely angry at how long she repeatedly denied hurting that child. I damn near broke my phone. Give them a raise because the level of patience is amazing.
She killed a little baby and then took that poor dead baby to McDonald’s and then handed him over to his mother like nothing happened! Unbelievable. But when you watch the interview, you can see she doesn’t give AF what she did to that poor little child. Horrible excuse for a human being.
Uuuuummmmmmm so why do people keep leaving their children with Marissa? First girl in the video said, “well she’s a little off” or something like that. If she’s “a little off” she shouldn’t be babysitting your child.
Adding to Jurj's point, towards the end we find out she's a master manipulator and from jail convinced people to send her money. It's easy to see how she convinced parents to let her babysit for them.
The fact she’s laughing when she admits she didn’t try doing cpr on the baby is absolutely sick. And once she admits the truth she isn’t fake crying anymore or showing any emotion she’s so sick.
Disgusting. At that point I paused the video and looked for someone mentioning it. What an absolute monster. If hell exists, it's made for people like her
It must be so difficult to be an investigator in the interrogation room and not absolutely strangle the monster after seeing autopsy images of the victim.
I said it must be difficult not to, not that they should strangle people, deservedly. I'm fully aware they're not supposed to strangle people in the interrogation room.🤦♀️
When Adam said this always happens when I am not home is a key statement! Adam also said that she shouldn't watch anyone's kids anymore! Very sickening!
@@conversationswithadrianne heh ? I don't think so. He is very uncaring of children's safety, but still has his kids pictures and fought to keep his last one home. As much of a bad person that he is, he reacted with genuine distress. My take is that he thought this what yet another case of abuse that Marissa caused, so he tried to dismiss her implications to get child services off his kid. But his reactions are very raw and intense as soon as the officers tell him. He immediately talks, he's cooperative, and frustrated. This dude is not a good dad, but he's a dad noneless. Though, that's the only credit I can give him, because he is not innocent of letting this woman in his life and keeping her around kids. He knew, he SAID he knew she was violent, and still kept her. Not as guilty as this piece of shit of a woman, but still guilty.
@@Chillaxpepper He also lied about Benson being alive when he picked him up, dressed him, and sat him in the baby seat. Then Marissa cross his path in the hotel room and pass some information that changed the story.
But the baby was alive at McDonalds 1:15:57 you can see him moving his hand kicking the blanket car seat moving on their camera, I think she covered for Adam.
You can just tell there is so much more to the story that she is not admitting to and its chilling to think of the reality of what happened in Bensons last moments. The way she claims she doesnt know how long he was crying for after she threw him seems like she did something more to him not to mention she said she stayed in the room with him?! She said when she moved him after throwing him he was already dead so she watched him cry until he died then repositioned his body. Truly heartbreaking and unimaginable. RIP baby Benson
I don't wanna pass judgment but how did no one check the baby when they picked him up? First you leave your child with someone whose own kids were taken away, then you don't even bother to look at your child when you pick them up? IDK I always make sure any children in my care are breathing when they are sleeping. Parents do too at pickup.
If the mother knew that the babysitters children were taken away I totally agree, but did she know? Maybe she was only told that she babysits often. Maybe the mother was so distracted by the fact she seemed to be rushed out the door and not allowed in and her child was already in the booster seat this time to think to check her child was breathing or just thought her child was asleep and did not want to waken the child. I do not want to blame the mother in this case because I imagine it is tragic enough for her to have lost her baby and she likely is putting enough blame on herself thinking.. what if....
It was only at the laundromat that mom noticed Benson was cold and blue. So what happened from the time she picked him up, to doing laundry? She didn't look at him? She didn't touch him? I dunno, some puzzle pieces still aren't fitting.
My eldest child is 20 yrs old, I have four kids, youngest is 7, I have never had a ‘babysitter’ watch any of my children, where ever I went, they came with me and if I couldn’t bring them with me, then I just stayed home with my children ! ❤
This b***h was a "mother" too, not including this tragedy, she proves that family isn't always safe either. Plenty of babysitters, nannies, daycare workers, etc have saved children from abusive homes. So, it's unfair to blame babysitters and ignore that families can be just as deadly. (Rudy Franks is one of the more recent examples proving that literal strangers cared more for her kids than she did.)
HOW anyone who has had their own Biological children REmoved by Social Services, ends up CARING for other people kids is beyond comprehension but here we all are.
Their friends are compassionate people who believe their claims that the system is against them, they are misunderstood, have seen them be nice to children, etc.
@@blender4464 Well THERE is a danger of "doing favors" for someone when youre not being truthful. Compassion for someone's lot in life should never supercede one's respect for the truth. yikes...
@@leeannwitt4968 yes, she is CLEARLY brain damaged from her years of drug abuse. Im a clinician by profession, I can tell by her eyes, there is significant damage. she has asymmetry in her face and eyes, that happens OFTEN from ODS or even regular use of multiple classes of drugs that cause neurological damage that can start to show on the outside, like in tardive dyskinesia asymmetrical facial features. it can look similar to the effects of stroke and is relatively doing the same thing. destroying brain tissue and disrupting the functions of the frontal lobe. damage to frontal lobe is what causes people to show no affect and not be able to plan or foresee the consequences of their actions. this is why addicts so often end up in prison for their actions. sad but i would never defend or offer to be an advocate for anyone like that.
can we appreciate these detectives here? they don't miss a beat with anything she spews out of her deceiving mouth, they force her to rethink her lies by using empathy, concern and just the right amount of pressure. I'd imagine it must be quite difficult to do all of this when you are interrogating women who are like Marissa. They deserve a raise.
God knows if I were in any of these officers or detectives shoes I woulda probably decked her in the face, especially if I had seen the child. Right on them for not jeopardizing the case over something that was probably ticking in the back of their head.
She deserved a life sentence. The husband said something about she shouldn't be watching any child and also said, "always things happen when I'm not around", "she gets frustrated". My condolence to the mothers that have suffered and lost their children, or abused by Marissa. She has no remorse, she will never see her children again till adulthood, if they ever want to see her again. So sad. Everyone reaps the pain that she has sowed.
The long term boyfriend was just as bad as she is, I'm sure. He kept knocking her up despite having all their previous kids taken for abuse, tried to cover up for her abusing both children mentioned in this case, and continued to try to cover for her - and put money on her books in jail - even after she abused this poor baby to death. Both selfish, stupid and evil monsters.
Oh that Life sentence is gonna be absolutely fun, for the inmates with her. Baby killers don't get grace in women's prisons. Remember, her face aint pregnant.
She took the dead baby to McDonalds and ate? Wow! The only time she actually cried was for herself. She showed more concern about the consequences she was facing, than what she did to this precious baby. She is a monster.
Her smiling during the questioning, smiling during the demonstration, smiling in her mugshot... like what is so smiley about a baby dying in your care?!
Ong it’s grilled into my fucking mind I’ll never forget that like what kind of monster can have that mentality and I’m a complete bitch to most ppl but that’s a whole different level
I WOULD HAVE BEEN INCONSOLABLE! I've seen people laugh at very raw moments because they are nervous or don't know how to properly handle the expected emotion at the time, but this is clearly a case of I'm fucked, how do keep my bs from slipping out?
This brought up memories, my Father once picked me up and threw me across a room. I landed on the floor and my head landed on the wooden arm of a sofa. I’m still terrified of people’s anger. This woman’s a monster. I hope her children are loved and ok now.
It's sickening, she's a narcissist, laughing and showing no emotions. She was fake crying thinking that would make her look innocent, this lady is horrible to kids😢
That officer telling himself and the detective to “just relax, relax, relax” says so much about what they go through. This couldn’t have been easy on any of them.
They are human until the reality of taxation being theft sinks into their bones. They never become aware of the fact, it simply becomes part of them as the normal corruption degenerates them into what we know as “pigs.”
@@cedoboston2616 ok, officer, captain, whatever. He still said to relax meaning he knew how upset she was. She was more upset about the baby’s death than Marissa was.
Has to be one of the most traumatic parts of their job. Dead adults would be hard, dead kids even worse, but a murdered baby? Unimaginable. I'm sure they also have to stay calm to not get violent, personally that would be my issue. I don't think I could not be violent with someone like this.
I agree that has to be some pretty intense training to keep your heart and soul out of situations such as this. It would have took everything I had to not grab that b**** by the throat and choke her out, almost to the point of death.
I'm not blaming the mother. This case should be a warning to all parents. If someone is accused of fracturing another babie's skull and losing 4 of her own children, don't kid yourself that she will treat your child any different. It's obvious Marissa can't control her frustration. What a sad case. My condolences to baby Benson's family.
i’m guessing they didn’t go around telling everyone that she was under investigation for such things, so unfortunately the mother probably didn’t know … i hope that’s the case anyway
To be fair there have been cases where sitters with perfect records have gone on to unalive kids in their care. Look at the case of the family nanny who the parents thought was perfect, the kids adored her and out of nowhere she slit the children's throats. Plus, a lot of people think so lowly of CPS and believe they steal children for no reason. This could have been one of those situations where she convinced people she was a victim of the state and CPS stole her kids for no reason. I'm more going with she kept it a secret, probably didn't tell the mom she had that many kids taken away or would just make excuses for why they weren't there during up & drop off, like maybe with grandma or something. Then there's the possibility that the mom could have been so desperate for a sitter she really couldn't be bothered to look too deep into it. I hope this isn't so. There's just so many things we don't know
@@bbibbibu Even if the mother was on some level aware it was likely very downplayed or there was a personal leverage there (ie. recommendeation) which dissuaded the mum.

TO ALL THE LITTLE ANGEL THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUCH DEVILS. HEART GOES OUT TO FAMILY ESPECIALLY MOM❤❤❤❤
I think this woman is a psychopath. She is so detached from every bit of it. And the way she goes from fake crying to that crazy grimace, it's actually chilling
Yep, she is a monster and the women convicts are going to wipe that bizarre smile off of her stupid face. She lied every time she said something to the detectives. She probably beat that poor baby merciless. We know she's done it before. This time it ended up with baby Benson's death. Life without parole. I'd advocate the death penalty, but this country doesn't know how to implement it. She's better off in general population. Let them take care of her evil azz.
Things like this and people like this are why stories about demons, Jinn, Skinwalkers and Possession exist. It's just unfathomable to most people, even ones a little careless or prone to being bad tempered, normal flaws that someone can do this and be smiling the whole time they can only attribute it to something supernatural.
@Tuberuser187 I'm sympathetic to your line of thinking mate, I just think it may just be that there are sociopathic nutters out there capable of evil acts the rest of us couldn't even imagine doing.
@@jimhaney6384 that's a reckless statement. She was given a sleeping baby by a baby sitter who had seen her child many times before. I'm sure she was tired already after work, and it's only when she went to do laundry that she realised something was wrong.
Same. I have three kids myself and monsters like Marissa chill my blood. I can't for the life of me imagine what would drive someone to want to kill a baby
Im not old enough to have kids but I babysit kids and spanking them for something really bad such as sneaking out of stuff is one thing.dont beat your kids.marrissas mom must be absoulotely miserable knowing her child did these despicable things.its heartbreaking.
babies are innocent. Their only way of communication is through crying and all he was doing was trying to tell her something. he was probably crying because he remembered that she was mean to him before.. bless his little heart he was probably so scared. I hate that I watched this entire thing it makes me sick. It will sit with me for weeks.
@@twisterjohnson1007 It's an awful thing to behold. It's important to remember that as bad as these sorta things are, they are thankfully in the minority of things that happen. Most parents are at least decent, and many still are good to their children. Helps put how awful this sort of thing is in perspective.
Marissa seems HIGHLY manipulative, even Adam seems like he was manipulated by her, its likely since the mother knew her and also likely didnt see this side of her she was told someone fucked her (marissa) over
Probaby the "mom" who wants to get rid of her child. It was said that she was often frustrated couse of the baby. Some lunatics should never have babies period, when some warm caring people can't have kids on their own...
people that are good at manipulating others into thinking it’s not their fault and someone else’s or something of the sort. it sounds stupid but it happens all the time
She clearly has the IQ of a child and it's scary that people like this can be parents let alone be trusted to babysit anyone. Who in the hell would trust leaving their baby with this person?
Not trying to criticize the mother, she's obviously suffering enough, but why would you put your baby in the hands of someone like this in the first place
How you can smile and chuckle knowing you took a dead baby out in public with you is beyond me and the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. How could you hand a Mother her dead baby? If something happened by accident you try to save the baby wtf??? This is heartbreaking and so maniacal on Marissa's part. I'm fuming right now 😤
Don't burden yourself with trying to understand. It's quite noble for you to want to help by figuring it out, but this woman is a psychopath. People dedicate their lives to studying these kind of people and we still don't really know how it happens. How a person can become so evil.
I thought it strange that the lady waited until the parents came to pick up the kids for the parents to find out about their childs injuries. Or at least thats what it sounded like. In a normal case it would be where the baby sitter would immediately contact the parent and say something like "You baby got hurt while ____. They are ok (or it doesnt seem serious) but they hit their head. What would you like me to do? Would you like to pick them up or would you like me to go to the E.R. and you can meet me there?" or actually rush the child to E.R. then inform the parent. NOT wait until parent arrives to pick up child.
You can see the other customer at McDonald's looks like she's trying to tell her the babies are cute. Imagine not realizing you're complimenting a dead baby!
Her reaction at 13:15 to being told that the baby is dead is so bizarre and not human.. it's like she CAN'T physically make herself look shocked or sad, she's just straight up incapable of even feeling anything so she struggles to make her face seem like she's devastated. At that moment, you witness a true heartless monster.
I didn't think I'd be scared at this part but holy sh*t. Her face at this point is genuinely TERRIFYING! like looking at a demon. I had to take out my earphones vient even listen. It's kinda like actors, when they fake cry their mouths turn up cuz they're not really sad. It's a microexpression. Ppl actually feeling sadness have downward smiles. She just kept smiling through her entire fake crying attempt like she was almost giddy at the thought. Horrifying
I absolutely agree! It's also telling that she repeatedly denied doing CPR. Then, about an hour and 10 minutes into the video, she says she blew into his mouth. She followed that up with saying that if she knew how to do CPR, she would have because she didn't want him to die. Someone who doesn't want a baby to die immediately calls 911, has the dispatcher help them with the CPR process and gets medical help on the way. She did NONE of this! She didn't give a flying rats ass if that baby died or not. That tells me absolutely everything I need to know about her and her character!
For those who don’t have an hour but wanna know what happened: Marisa was a babysitter for her friend and one day while watching an infant named benson, she became frustrated and threw him forcefully into a pack-n-play. The child hit his head on the corner of the plastic frame and passed away due to the injuries minutes later. Marissa tried to hide his death by putting him in a carrier and going to McDonald’s with her boyfriend. She lied to the boyfriend about the baby’s health so that he would go along with the plan. She then handed the baby off at pickup like everything was normal, leaving the mother to realize he had passed away about half an hour later. Marissa was sentenced to 37 years in jail with another 3 from a secondary child a**use allocation from a few months prior.
@@mpg272727outside voodoo sources is not always a factor in demonic possession or behavior. However clearly this woman is possessed. All horrific mental health diagnosis stem from demonic activity. Schizophrenia, anxiety, suicidal ideation, hearing voices you name it. There is a spirit behind it all
The fact that she didn't ask the police why they were asking her those questions from the very beginning is a huge red flag. Shes not asking why because she KNOWS why.
No it's not a red flag. Some people decide to cooperate rather than wasting time, whether they are guilty or not. Lots of criminals are habitual liars who will resist questioning and orders, pretend to be innocent when they aren't. It also depends on the officer who is questioning you. If the officer is approachable and empathetic, really trying to understand rather than being harsh and accusing, the suspect is more likely to open up.
It is absolutely terrifying the way she clears up, stops crying, and gets talkative the moment the male cop offers up that it could be an accident. You can see her grasp onto that so hard, and get so comfortable that she's like 'oh yeah I put clothes on him and took him into mcdonalds' and 'well yeah i knew she'd figure it out'. Nightmarish. I can't believe she's smiling and chuckling. The officer talking with her did such a good job of being straightforward but not being so harsh that she shuts down. When it comes to the boyfriend, it's hard to tell if he truly didn't notice/is confused/ wasn't paying attention. I think the assumption of him assuming something had been wrong and making up a story because of that makes the most sense. It's tough to see him realize how much more might have happened.
I babysat through my late teens and if anything like this happened on my watch I would probably be begging the police to lock me up and throw away the key. I struggled leaving the room when putting babies to sleep at night for more than 5 minutes without going back in, making sure they’re in proper sleeping position, breathing, not too cold, etc.. She left a baby in another room ON HIS STOMACH, and really isn’t saying much more than “woopsie daisy”. Really creepy shit.
@@DB-jg9fkWait til you get to the end. Spoiler She admits to throwing the baby and watching the baby cry, until he stops and dies. She enjoyed every second of that baby suffering at the end
@@motleyminded85 Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Unless they keep her very securely locked away for those 4 decades (which is a form of torture in itself), she’s gonna have a reeeaaaaal bad time. Nobody likes these kinds of people, and there’s a pretty high chance that some people are willing to risk a bit of extra punishment for the satisfaction of hurting her…
And the worst part of this for me to wrap my head around is the fact that this heartless woman just handed a poor lifeless baby back to his family, like nothing, like they were not going to notice. So horrible!
Yeah I also thought that, cuz you'd think that the mother would want to pick up and hold her baby, I'd of known rt then if something wasn't rt. She did say that, but never even thought to check on her little baby at that moment. Especially since she hadn't seen him all that time she was working or whatever. But maybe in the dark it may have looked like he was sleeping and since he was already strapped to his car seat that she didn't want to wake him. But either way it wouldn't have changed the outcome, and another passing thought was did the mother know of her friends past child abuse cases? That's the other thing too, and that woman's bf how did he not know that when they went to McDonald's he didn't see something was wrong, I mean damn, all these people seem like they're on drugs or something!
Well, to be fair, the parent didn't notice until she picked the baby up, put the baby in the car, got the baby out and did a load of laundry.... Mean, for real....
Never let someone who's had 4 of their own children taken away and has a record of child abuse babysit your children
RIGHT!?! I was trying to figure out why Benson’s mom left her son with this psychopath!
She probably didn't know beforehand that's too red of a flag for her to have known and still accept.
She had a child still... this means that was cleared and checked to baby sit by professionals . Other kids whould have been taken for drugs or no money-home, thats the normal assumption a person whould make , not that she is abuser that the goverment knows and let her still do it to the next with no care
@@oumarathie8881 i'd know by that house. There's no way id leave a baby in that hovel.
This was mistake number one that I’m trying to figure out why the parents even allowed them to baby sit to begin with. (But maybe they didn’t know) This whole situation could’ve been avoided. But hey, what do I know
I find it baffling that a couple that got their kids taken away and have 2 cases of potential child abuse against them were even allowed to babysit.
Well it’s not so much that people are allowed is it? Isn’t it just that people do things that aren’t officially supervised.
I'm sure they weren't obligated to tell the mother of the now deceased baby.
@@Grottgreta to be fair, should you be leaving your child with anyone you don't know well enough to know this kind of information about? Your infant at that? It is no one's fault but the perpetrators, but I'm sure this mother has learned an agonizing lesson.
Y’all are victim blaming her kids dead bro.
@@Outnumberedbykidsandcats exactly. It's so outrageous and unfortunate that people that shouldn't be watching children are often times babysitters or running daycares out of their homes. I've seen a few cases where the woman was babysitting in her home, then she killed a child.
It's too bad they are not self-aware and realize that they have frailties and childcare might not be the best option for employment.
The way she smiles and is borderline laughing while pretending to cry is downright disturbing

The BF said he didnt want her taking care of kids because some sh*t always happens. What else has she done to other people's kids?
Stephanie Soo has a video covering this case, apparently Marissa injured two other young children/infants and lost custody of her and Adam's four other kids.
The police already knew Marissa was a danger, but I guess nothing was done to alert the community, (like you would with a sex offender), so Heather thought Marissa was OK to babysit as they were old high school friends.
Absolutely horrific.
One child had a fractured skull.
@@oren1305 marissa was a longtime friend of one of the victims. they knew.

Yeah it’s hard enough doing cpr anyway but when you know it’s never going to work, it must be so much harder.
Unimaginable.
I touched a dead body once, and it will haunt you. I can't imagine it being a child
i’ve always had a strange feeling when operators tell u to do that i mean i get it kinda but when does that actually help when a person is obviously cold and lifeless.. just unnecessary trauma super heartbreaking
Not only that, it was her own child as well. Imagine having to give CPR to your own cold baby..
Her face when they told her the baby was dead is honestly frightening. Her attempt to pretend to cry through that maniacal grin was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.

If babies frustrate her so much, why on earth does she keep having them?
Psycopaths are incapable of feeling emotions. And really incapable of making choices because of not understanding emotions. They're like bodies without souls. That's why she never seemed sad. She literally can't feel sadness or anything. Mostly they just learn to mimic others
There's nothing in Marissa.
It’s a mental disorder. Where people get attention for being motherly and being pregnant.
The attention, maybe for the government cheques, maybe she likes the _idea_ of being a mom and then remembers it's hard work and the drugs are more appealing...
She's such a waste of a person.
Because, unfortunately, troubled people/psychos/morons can breed just as well as intelligent people...
Giving the deceased baby back to the mother is about the most cold-blooded thing I’ve ever heard! She cries the crocodile tears but she is a psychopath that needs to never care for another child again. RIP Benson. You didn’t deserve that, sweet angel.
She doesn't deserve to see light again after all the harm she has done to children
How did the mother not check her baby sooner or did the lady drop the baby off at laundry mat.
Your comment makes no sense she should never be able to care for a child again. Don’t you mean she should be in jail forever then how could she ever care for another child.
Benson’s mother doesn’t get a pass. The absolutely legendary intelligence she must have possessed to leave your baby in the care of a woman that has had all of her children seized by CPS. I can’t…
@@boundariessetinstone5893if she ever sees the light of day, which she shouldn't, she should not be allowed near another child. Better???
this is 100% Marissa's fault. But there's a lesson to be learnt here: never EVER let your kids be looked after by parents who have lost custody of their own children!!!
People lie.
And people always want to believe their friends/family.
I know someone personally who has custody of their children because the mother put them in danger - yet her friends and family all believe she is actually innocent. Even though the police and courts and social workers and doctors all say otherwise.
I'm glad you specify that, some other people on here are being horrible saying the mom is equally at fault. That's just not true.
That poor child didn’t stand a chance. Total negligence. I wouldn’t associate with someone like this much less trust them with my kid.
My general rule of thumb to allow someone to watch my kid is 1) do they have kids older then mine? 2) has anything bad happened to their children? Based on the answers is how I decide
Did you see the Lindsey graham story? I would avoid all non-family babysitters if at all possible
The fact that she could even eat while carrying around a deceased baby is sickening to me. Rest in heaven Benson.😔
yep, maybe had some sex at the hotel too. ppl are sickening
For some reason I feel like he might have been alive at McDonalds they're dumb but, I'm not sure they're that dumb. In the hotel room when they let them near each other and he's asking if I grabbed him or you there was some very suspicious looks and her immediate response that she grabbed him seems like a cover. They also had the time from fleeing the apartment to getting to the hotel and being at the hotel to try and solidify their story, which they still messed up a lot but, I certainly believe they are dumb enough to not be able to come up with coherent cover stories.
I have no doubt in my mind he knows more than he's saying at a minimum and he may have had direct involvement in the murder.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The who thing is tragic, but that part is sitting with me. You have to be some kind of sicko to carry a dead baby around with you. WTH
Absolutely... So sickening and awful. What a disgusting human being. At 13:18 makes my stomach turn. She is heinous
She should NEVER be released, she killled a baby, lied about it, manipulated others and shows NO remorse for ANYTHING she's done. She should get life in prison and throw away the key.
There should be a registry for child abuse and neglect and anyone on the registry should absolutely not be babysitting or watching any children. Unbelievable. This is sad and it was preventable.
There is, it’s called a background check. The parents who allowed someone to watch their kids with child abuse convictions who’d lost custody of her own kids have failed as parents. It costs less than $50 on many websites to look up records on ppl. If you can’t afford to run that check, you can’t afford to have kids. Many places you can contact the county clerk’s office for access to public records for free or just the cost of printing the paper.
mrs.h2725 "if you cant afford a background check you cant a afford a kid" wow your so helpful lmfaoo nice insight
That is a great idea. Like the sex offender registry.

That's a great idea
It's genuinely horrific how she "cries" and immediately gets distracted with a question, suddenly calm and collected and focused. Terrible liar and an absolute monster of a human being.
and most of the time when shes "crying" she is flat out smiling
Dude I noticed that when the cop said he was going to get her a tissue, she immediately stopped crying and said “okay”…🤮
She literally snaps right out of it too
I think she's very low IQ.
her cry is like a fake and forced emotionless cry with a creepy smile that she can't hold back.

Word. If ever there was a face that screamed _Don't trust me with your baby!_ it'd be Marissa's.
she was hsppy
Dupers delight! So sick
Her her smile was so evil I got the feeling that she threw Benson until she killed them, there was no trying to save him, she was frustrated and took it out on that little baby, and she threw him until he died. There was no trying to help him the ladies cold calculated and manipulative that's why she took them to McDonald's. And made believe everything was okay. She's right where she belongs.

When I was a kid my babysitter had a child pass away during a nap due to SIDS. Not only did she immediately call 911 and the parents, but she was emotionally affected by it for the rest of her life. Marissa's ability to be so casual and not have any emotional reaction to the situation is deeply disturbing
Was your babysitter a smoker? They now think that many SIDS cases are caused by cigarette smoke. Many are also caused by putting a baby on its stomach.
@@jamesbowman6925 There are also many cases with neither of those factors at play and it still happens. It's such a horrifying mystery.
I started babysitting a friend’s cousin’s baby at six weeks old and her previous baby had died from SIDS. I was so nervous and paranoid. Nothing ever happened thank goodness. I watched her until she was over a year old. I cannot imagine what parents go through losing a child like that. 😢
Wow! I’m so sorry for your babysitter. How unbelievably traumatic. (I realize The baby in your story passing is obviously horrendous for the parents.)

She immediately called me at wok, crying hysterically and told me to meet her at the emergency room asap. She was so open, honest, and very obviously extremely distraught at the thought of having hurt him. She was sobbing so hard that she was dry heaving. I recall having to comfort her as much as I comforted my son. I KNEW it was an accident. The sorrow and pain in her eyes told me the truth.
I’m a daycare worker and I appreciate this so much ❤ there are some very good people out there that take care of children, and things do happen, albeit rarely. It’s amazing that you were able to give the woman grace in that situation because I know it was difficult.
Had a young lady in her seventies explain how my son got a knee scrape (on the playground) and other staff at the daycare had to use two bandages on him. When she explained she had looked away for just a few seconds while attending to the needs of another child and she did not see exactly when my son fell, her voice was cracking and I could see she was fighting back tears very hard. You cannot fake love and care at that level; I never felt more sure that we choose the appropriate daycare for our son. As a parent, you just know.
@@rolandolemus1352Having been on n the other side of that, I can confirm it’s gut wrenching. I babysat for my nephews when they were babies and young children and everything was fine when they were young. Always returned them without so much as a bump or scratch. No, the problem was when the eldest got old enough to be taken to the park!
He was on the swings while I watch, and I swear, the moment I looked down to attend to his brother, who was on the bench with me, three years younger and what happened? Of course it was that moment the eldest fell off the swing and tumbled to the ground. I’ll never forget the sickening feeling of that moment. Fortunately he got away with just bruises and scrapes-I always have a first aid kit with me so I patched him up and called their mother straight away.
I felt horrible for the rest of the day and watched him like a hawk, ready to take him to a doctor or hospital if there was a hint of anything else wrong, but he recovered from it faster than I did. My brother and his wife were cool with it as accidents happen. I didn’t mind them thoroughly inspecting him at pickup-even left the room to allow them some privacy. It was ghastly. I felt like I’d failed them.
Aw that poor woman. She sounds so sweet.
Wasnt she pregnant herself?!😳😨 her 6th child? After having 5 taken away and then killing her friends baby.. This is beyond horrifying.
you said "and then"!! guilty!!
The way she smirks and laughs when asked why she didn't do CPR is chilling.
She knew he wasn't breathing, and instead of calling for help she paraded a dead infant in public.
She is an addict. Probably high right then and there.
it’s disgusting
Hearing the mother screaming in the beginning crushed me, and then to watch this woman laughing there about a dead baby, pretending she never knew it was dead, then admitting at the end she knew the whole time...Horrendous. Disgusting. Words cannot describe.
After the screaming, the poor woman then had to give her cold dead baby CPR :( Absolute nightmare
It's super sad that anyone could intentionally hurt a infant, Evan more so then to do it in cold blood and give the lifeless corpse to the mother. It turns my stomach. She deserved life in prison
@@jamiestewart48 it goes to show that even the mother was completely devastated, she tried her best to help her baby even though it was already too late
@@notpeachykeen6823 this is horrifying. my sponsor in AA just told me "God doesn't give us anymore than we can handle" then i come across this nightmare. there aren't words.
@@jamiestewart48just hurt me so much because she knew that that baby was dead and she gave the mother the dead baby 👶
That male detective is really good. He replicates empathy and understanding in a way that makes the perpetrator open up little by little
Yeah he 100% got her past her BS story. He was amazing
He's also the one who gives her the opening to it being an accident ... "Did you leave him for too long?" Sounds so innocuous. Smart.
@@jessifica That's a tactic to get her to admit she killed the kid. There's no accidental murder when you throw a baby. It was part of the "you're not a monster" approach
Oh yeah, fully aware@@jblps
@@jessifica haha sorry for some reason I misread your comment as sarcasm
She’s a psychopath. She has no feeling what so ever about killing that baby. Laughing her way through it. Fake crying. Makes me sick. How is someone like that allowed to watch other people’s kids when her own are taken away from her? Ridiculous!! And she keeps making more kids. Smh
That 911 call is heartbreaking.
hello
Yeah I had to skip it entirely
Didn't expect Insym here. I love your content! I showed your videos to my mother and she likes them too. She knows you as the "Are you french?" guy. ❤
Im glad i watched the first part without sound
hi
The mother and sister said they knew her for years and her behavior never came into question?! You could spend 5 minutes with her and see there is something not quite right with her. Rest in Heaven, Benson.
What's crazy, at the beginning they said they did notice something was off about her. Even demanded, "I KNOW Marissa". Not once from picking the baby up, buckling him in, driving him around without a peep, un buckle him, carry him in, placing him on the table nearly face heighth, did they not notice the baby having multiple head injuries, blue lips, not moving, cold..........
@@laurac5591 its almost like you don't want to wake up a baby at 9 of fucking clock because you like sleep. Do you know what a baby even is? Because you just said something truly ignorant. Oh she didn't check on her kid at 9 oclock becasue she was driving to the laundromat. Oh ill just check the baby while driving, youre a goddamned genius.
@@laurac5591 yep exactly. I don't know how a mom would not check the baby first after not seeing him for a while... Such a tragic & unnecessary loss of life.
@@DerDrecksack87I can totally agree. Like when I’m at work or school. My kids are with my mom not saying she would let anything happen. I am very observant and questionable. If any marks are in their face or legs or if they say somewhere is hurting. I want an explanation from them and of course anyone who was there at the time.
@@laurac5591You're absolutely right. This is very creepy.. The mother and sister must have known the baby was dead, how could they not know...?
The patience they have is incredible. It’s like trying to get specific, detailed information out of a 2 year old…
it's part of the game. People mostly confess themselves if you let them talk.
Yes! I really feel for these cops. They need to go through regular debriefing. This is difficult on the psyche.
She needs to learn a skill . 37 years She will have gone through menopause and no more babies! Problem solved?
The fact that she had no idea what a foot or two drop meant is just...astonishing.
@@puclopuclik4108Right! Let them do all that fast talking. Even after they come up for air because they'll talk through the awkward silence too. 🤷🏾♀️👌🏾
If kids annoy the hell out of you, why would you want to babysit? 🙄🤨
She looks crazy AF! I wouldn’t leave a dog with her, let alone my child. RIP Benson. You deserved better.
I was hoping that social services would not just take the baby. I was also hoping that they would take that poor kitty with them.
How did this freak get this far without killing a baby? We know she's done child abuse before, but what crimes did she get away with? She is truly a retarded psychopath. She has no remorse. She does not care that she killed baby Benson and she HANDED HIS CORPSE OVER TO HIS MOTHER LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED! It's bizarre.
Agreed. Rest in peace, Benson❤
😂
If everyone in the chat can see how crazy she looks and acts, why in the world couldn't the mother and aunt see it too??😢🥶
There needs to be a child abuse registry.. Like what they have for sexual abuse. That way parents can look on the registry to be sure their potential caregiver is not an abuser. I do realize this won't prevent all abuse from taking place but it would be a good step in the right direction,
There is a registry that employers use to check if their employees have ever had an allegation of child abuse. The employee has to sign an affidavit to have this background check. It would help if this information was available for parents to use as well.
There is. It’s public record. If someone is looking after my child I’m definitely going deeper than the abyss finding out who their grandmothers ex boyfriends mothers side piece was.
does the usa not have police checks like aus?
That is actually a great idea.
@@89medicokay so please share with us what this list is called and where we can find it.
The way we deal with child abusers is so horribly ineffective, and has led to lives being lost.
I see no reason why there shouldn't be a registry for child-abusers, like there are for sex-offenders. They should have to place a sign on their front lawn, and have to notify their neighbors.
Agreed
Yup
I pulled my daughter from school due to her having issues with another student. It was a long process of meeting with teachers and liaison officers and yada yada. Finally I had enough, didn't trust the school caring for my kid so I pulled her. Started collecting her homework and schoolwork and turning it in each week and began looking for another school. Due to no school choice it wasn't easy. Long story short we found a great school and got her enrolled and I contacted the dept of education. Less than a week later they sent child protective services to our house. Come to find out the other student's aunt was superintendent. They filed a complaint out of spite. I had to prove we had food and a bed and they took my daughter and asked her all types of inappropriate questions about me and her "relationship". She was 9. I was mortified. I got a lawyer and we got everything resolved but for a few weeks I was scared they could take her and I couldn't stop them. Meanwhile people like these scumbags have multiple kids and get chance after chance after chance.... It's literally disgusting
Totally agree
@@Iburn247 That superintendent is a spineless little worm, undeserving of her position.
That poor child. He had so much to live for and he was adorable. May he rest in peace🕊
This is traumatizing. Not just for Heather, but for people watching this. The fact that she takes a lifeless body out to eat is beyond disgusting.
Very discussed & disturbing smh poor baby r.i.p baby boy god god you
Justice & prayers for the baby family 🙏
Of you only don’t watch it
I believe the baby was still moving then. It looks like it in the video.
The shock on her face realizing she’s likely never getting out of prison is so weird to me. What an absolute pine cone

I have so much respect for the officers' ability to stay calm, emotionally stable, and professional during interviews like this one.
They deal with these horrible ppl so often. Much more than we do. That they can probably grow cold to it. I’ve heard that a lot of policemen drag this emotionless attitude home with them. 🤷🏼♀️
@@annissa5356Not true at all...they are human and have family children themselves...not to mention hits home as it in their own community...maybe a cpl ppl can disconnect tho majority are effected for life especially when children involved...seen 1st hand being in fam long line of L.E. pls understand this, I know in today's climate its all about LE Hate and most is so far from truth however it has saturated the minds of today that LE is enemy...that is most disturbing of all
Compartmentilize
they r being recorded too, so they are faking it ..which is a RED FLAG
that bald officer's psychology was so on point
I honestly hate cps because they either take your child because your house is to dirty or they leave a child in custody of an obvious abuser and of course they generally put kids in a worse situation than they were in the first place
That happened to me and my siblings: that one month felt like an eternity
Or because you have no choice but to leave your kid alone because you have to work 2 or 3 jobs to keep food on the table , clothes on your child back and a roof over their head becaiuse the government has made rent and everything else so damn high
Craziest part is every foster home that i have seen "been friends with kids that were fostered in my teen years" has treated their foster kids amazing and they loved it.
Anyone notice how when she’s “crying” and they ask her a question, she’s immediately fine and answers like it’s almost a casual conversation? This lady is actually horrible
well she's crazy. she's not sane. this isn't a psychopath. this is someone with a different mental illness entirely.
thank goodness for bad liars. the ones who lie well probably kill far more people and get away with far more crimes
Using fake tears as a defensive mechanism is more common than you'd think.
She's been lieing her while entire life an mastered the art of it. She isn't crazy or doesn't have mental issues she is just an evil girl and she is a user. She probably been abusing children for a long time. Especially the fact that she had multiple men sending her money in jail. She knows exactly what she is doing. She is selfish and only thinks about herself. She is not sorry for what she did. Rest in peace little Benson and to the other children that were lucky enough to not die they are extremely lucky
That fake crying is hilarious.
The fact that’s she’s smiling while talking to the officer and trying to horribly fake cry just pains me. She knew she killed that kid
FR. If you cut the audio, it looks like she’s having a good time.
That’s the thing that weirded me out the most. She’s trying to cry but has a giant grin on her face
Ikr? Her acting is so bad! She could’ve at least tried not to smile.
It makes me sick watching here smile the whole time. WTF is wrong with her....
@@Mysterious-Night easier said than done when you’re sadistic!
That woman creeps me out SO bad! She is what nightmares are made of! The wide vacant eyes, pretending to be crying but actually smiling and never blinking, all while being questioned about a baby’s death..!? She’s scarier than ANY horror villain EVER! I believe she is enjoying the whole thing.
Edit: I cannot believe she only got 37 years! That’s far from justice if you ask me. She’s vile!🤢
She is creepy! I would never leave my child with her. Don’t these parents see this. Who would leave a baby with her?
Yeah that smiling crying was disturbing
I can't believe she got pregnant.
you are beyond help
these facts astound me as to HOW those sisters knowing this woman, could EVER have thought a child was safe in her presence. even her face shows the signs of neurological damage from her drug abuse. we see it all the time. sometimes the drug test is just to confirm what we already know from examining a person. shes completely burnt out her brain for life
That letter to the judge was so well written. What a deep message.
Did anyone else get extremely angry at how long she repeatedly denied hurting that child. I damn near broke my phone. Give them a raise because the level of patience is amazing.
Yes! And she didn’t even try to do cpr and had the audacity to smile.
I understand exactly, I would not have been able to sit in the same room as her hearing this nonsense
@@ironblazephoenix6214 for hours OMG! 🤦🏾♀️
That baby deserved so much better.. it's sad that there is actually morbid people like this still roaming around.
@@0NLYZ3KE much worse than this!
She killed a little baby and then took that poor dead baby to McDonald’s and then handed him over to his mother like nothing happened! Unbelievable. But when you watch the interview, you can see she doesn’t give AF what she did to that poor little child. Horrible excuse for a human being.
Uuuuummmmmmm so why do people keep leaving their children with Marissa? First girl in the video said, “well she’s a little off” or something like that. If she’s “a little off” she shouldn’t be babysitting your child.
She said she seemed a little off when they picked the baby up
Adding to Jurj's point, towards the end we find out she's a master manipulator and from jail convinced people to send her money. It's easy to see how she convinced parents to let her babysit for them.
@@kayleee4065McSnorty is bad enough, the high pitched and dramatic. boyfriend is inexcusable.
The fact she’s laughing when she admits she didn’t try doing cpr on the baby is absolutely sick. And once she admits the truth she isn’t fake crying anymore or showing any emotion she’s so sick.
Disgusting. At that point I paused the video and looked for someone mentioning it. What an absolute monster. If hell exists, it's made for people like her
I couldn’t have said it any better
Yup. Cares more about smoking a fucking cigarette.
there's an inexcusable number of people who don't know cpr in this whole mess. gotta learn that as soon as you can manage a chest compression.
@@stevenunyabidness CPR on babies totally different as well. more people need to learn the baby specific CPR.
It must be so difficult to be an investigator in the interrogation room and not absolutely strangle the monster after seeing autopsy images of the victim.
Not the same when it’s not personal. I worked those jobs. Must fucked up thing I ever saw was a baby. Turn up into about 9 pieces.

They want to prosecute these people, it would be thrown out of court if the police are shown to be mistreating suspects.
I said it must be difficult not to, not that they should strangle people, deservedly. I'm fully aware they're not supposed to strangle people in the interrogation room.🤦♀️
Was it an abortion?
When Adam said this always happens when I am not home is a key statement! Adam also said that she shouldn't watch anyone's kids anymore! Very sickening!
He's a liar who knew the baby dd, but acted shocked when questioned.
@@conversationswithadrianne heh ? I don't think so. He is very uncaring of children's safety, but still has his kids pictures and fought to keep his last one home. As much of a bad person that he is, he reacted with genuine distress. My take is that he thought this what yet another case of abuse that Marissa caused, so he tried to dismiss her implications to get child services off his kid. But his reactions are very raw and intense as soon as the officers tell him. He immediately talks, he's cooperative, and frustrated. This dude is not a good dad, but he's a dad noneless. Though, that's the only credit I can give him, because he is not innocent of letting this woman in his life and keeping her around kids. He knew, he SAID he knew she was violent, and still kept her. Not as guilty as this piece of shit of a woman, but still guilty.
@@Chillaxpepper He also lied about Benson being alive when he picked him up, dressed him, and sat him in the baby seat. Then Marissa cross his path in the hotel room and pass some information that changed the story.
But the baby was alive at McDonalds 1:15:57 you can see him moving his hand kicking the blanket car seat moving on their camera, I think she covered for Adam.
@@Brap-pl2me people can love children but not deserve to have them, and be oblivious to this fact y'know
You can just tell there is so much more to the story that she is not admitting to and its chilling to think of the reality of what happened in Bensons last moments. The way she claims she doesnt know how long he was crying for after she threw him seems like she did something more to him not to mention she said she stayed in the room with him?! She said when she moved him after throwing him he was already dead so she watched him cry until he died then repositioned his body. Truly heartbreaking and unimaginable. RIP baby Benson
The way she smiled as she pretended to cry (no tears). This has turned my stomach. RIP sweet baby boy.
35:52, when she realized she was smiling thinking of how heather reacted
I smile when I'm nervous as do other people. It just happens and I hate it because I'm usually crying. It's embarrassing too.
Leaving your child with someone who’s own child has been taken away is straight up negligent in my opinion.
I don't wanna pass judgment but how did no one check the baby when they picked him up? First you leave your child with someone whose own kids were taken away, then you don't even bother to look at your child when you pick them up? IDK I always make sure any children in my care are breathing when they are sleeping. Parents do too at pickup.
Maybe they didn't know about it.
If the mother knew that the babysitters children were taken away I totally agree, but did she know? Maybe she was only told that she babysits often. Maybe the mother was so distracted by the fact she seemed to be rushed out the door and not allowed in and her child was already in the booster seat this time to think to check her child was breathing or just thought her child was asleep and did not want to waken the child. I do not want to blame the mother in this case because I imagine it is tragic enough for her to have lost her baby and she likely is putting enough blame on herself thinking.. what if....
It was only at the laundromat that mom noticed Benson was cold and blue. So what happened from the time she picked him up, to doing laundry? She didn't look at him? She didn't touch him? I dunno, some puzzle pieces still aren't fitting.
@@sarahartz1721 wouldn't be me baby don't even have to be related to me too cute to ignore
The fact that when she was lying she was “breaking down.” But when she admits it she’s laughing and smiling is absolutely disgusting.
She is crying for herself!!
Psychopath for sure
The truth can feel liberating. The relief she felt must have been quite a rush.
She probably liked that. People like that are dangerous. Potential serial killers.
@@sharynkoren2054 she's not even really crying. no red face, no tears, goes back to happy smiling or acting casual right after. a fake evil pos

The nuclear family should never have been destroyed for this reason.
This b***h was a "mother" too, not including this tragedy, she proves that family isn't always safe either. Plenty of babysitters, nannies, daycare workers, etc have saved children from abusive homes. So, it's unfair to blame babysitters and ignore that families can be just as deadly. (Rudy Franks is one of the more recent examples proving that literal strangers cared more for her kids than she did.)

@@leeannwitt4968 yes, she is CLEARLY brain damaged from her years of drug abuse. Im a clinician by profession, I can tell by her eyes, there is significant damage. she has asymmetry in her face and eyes, that happens OFTEN from ODS or even regular use of multiple classes of drugs that cause neurological damage that can start to show on the outside, like in tardive dyskinesia asymmetrical facial features. it can look similar to the effects of stroke and is relatively doing the same thing. destroying brain tissue and disrupting the functions of the frontal lobe. damage to frontal lobe is what causes people to show no affect and not be able to plan or foresee the consequences of their actions. this is why addicts so often end up in prison for their actions. sad but i would never defend or offer to be an advocate for anyone like that.
Yeah No Crap So Wacko The World Becoming 😔😵💫
can we appreciate these detectives here? they don't miss a beat with anything she spews out of her deceiving mouth, they force her to rethink her lies by using empathy, concern and just the right amount of pressure. I'd imagine it must be quite difficult to do all of this when you are interrogating women who are like Marissa. They deserve a raise.
That male detective asks so dumb questions.
God knows if I were in any of these officers or detectives shoes I woulda probably decked her in the face, especially if I had seen the child. Right on them for not jeopardizing the case over something that was probably ticking in the back of their head.
@crusaderkaiser2005 probably why you work in a supermarket, mate.
@@italicpigeon like I mean I don't but okie dokie lmao
That lady detective was on top of her!!
She deserved a life sentence. The husband said something about she shouldn't be watching any child and also said, "always things happen when I'm not around", "she gets frustrated". My condolence to the mothers that have suffered and lost their children, or abused by Marissa. She has no remorse, she will never see her children again till adulthood, if they ever want to see her again. So sad. Everyone reaps the pain that she has sowed.
No. She deserves the DP
Agree she should be charged for many crimes all the years she got away for it
The long term boyfriend was just as bad as she is, I'm sure. He kept knocking her up despite having all their previous kids taken for abuse, tried to cover up for her abusing both children mentioned in this case, and continued to try to cover for her - and put money on her books in jail - even after she abused this poor baby to death. Both selfish, stupid and evil monsters.
At least when she gets out she will be too dried up to have children
Oh that Life sentence is gonna be absolutely fun, for the inmates with her. Baby killers don't get grace in women's prisons. Remember, her face aint pregnant.
Detective graham is captain for a reason. That guy and his questioning . His delivery the way he talks. Amazing
Her face when she was trying to look like she was crying was beyond terrifying
Yes! I just commented the same thing. I just hated that face!!!
A monster wearing a person is what I thought of immediately; she couldn't hide that disturbing af smile
Agreed!
Demonic, in fact
daaaamn that was creepy
She took the dead baby to McDonalds and ate? Wow!
The only time she actually cried was for herself. She showed more concern about the consequences she was facing, than what she did to this precious baby. She is a monster.
Her smiling during the questioning, smiling during the demonstration, smiling in her mugshot... like what is so smiley about a baby dying in your care?!
Demons smile like that.
Ong it’s grilled into my fucking mind I’ll never forget that like what kind of monster can have that mentality and I’m a complete bitch to most ppl but that’s a whole different level
I WOULD HAVE BEEN INCONSOLABLE! I've seen people laugh at very raw moments because they are nervous or don't know how to properly handle the expected emotion at the time, but this is clearly a case of I'm fucked, how do keep my bs from slipping out?

The mugshot was cursed
This brought up memories, my Father once picked me up and threw me across a room. I landed on the floor and my head landed on the wooden arm of a sofa. I’m still terrified of people’s anger. This woman’s a monster. I hope her children are loved and ok now.
Your dad did WHAT?? Bro how did he not get arrested?!
Her laughing through any of this and seeing her at McDonald's ordering her food knowing she has a dead baby with her is absolutely appalling.
To think she even had an appetite.

That officer telling himself and the detective to “just relax, relax, relax” says so much about what they go through. This couldn’t have been easy on any of them.
I was thinking the same thing.
They are human until the reality of taxation being theft sinks into their bones. They never become aware of the fact, it simply becomes part of them as the normal corruption degenerates them into what we know as “pigs.”
@@cedoboston2616 ok, officer, captain, whatever. He still said to relax meaning he knew how upset she was. She was more upset about the baby’s death than Marissa was.
Has to be one of the most traumatic parts of their job. Dead adults would be hard, dead kids even worse, but a murdered baby? Unimaginable. I'm sure they also have to stay calm to not get violent, personally that would be my issue. I don't think I could not be violent with someone like this.
I agree that has to be some pretty intense training to keep your heart and soul out of situations such as this. It would have took everything I had to not grab that b**** by the throat and choke her out, almost to the point of death.
I'm not blaming the mother. This case should be a warning to all parents. If someone is accused of fracturing another babie's skull and losing 4 of her own children, don't kid yourself that she will treat your child any different. It's obvious Marissa can't control her frustration. What a sad case. My condolences to baby Benson's family.
i’m guessing they didn’t go around telling everyone that she was under investigation for such things, so unfortunately the mother probably didn’t know … i hope that’s the case anyway
To be fair there have been cases where sitters with perfect records have gone on to unalive kids in their care. Look at the case of the family nanny who the parents thought was perfect, the kids adored her and out of nowhere she slit the children's throats.
Plus, a lot of people think so lowly of CPS and believe they steal children for no reason. This could have been one of those situations where she convinced people she was a victim of the state and CPS stole her kids for no reason.
I'm more going with she kept it a secret, probably didn't tell the mom she had that many kids taken away or would just make excuses for why they weren't there during up & drop off, like maybe with grandma or something.
Then there's the possibility that the mom could have been so desperate for a sitter she really couldn't be bothered to look too deep into it. I hope this isn't so.
There's just so many things we don't know

Yep, she is a monster and the women convicts are going to wipe that bizarre smile off of her stupid face. She lied every time she said something to the detectives.

It's just unfathomable to most people, even ones a little careless or prone to being bad tempered, normal flaws that someone can do this and be smiling the whole time they can only attribute it to something supernatural.
@Tuberuser187 I'm sympathetic to your line of thinking mate, I just think it may just be that there are sociopathic nutters out there capable of evil acts the rest of us couldn't even imagine doing.

Exactly
i know she’s literally GRINNING mf makes my stomach sick
Finding your baby dead is the worst thing imaginable 😭 hearing her cry when she found him and tried to give him cpr ripped my heart out
Yeah, not the best mother, but the panic and loss is 😢
@@jimhaney6384not the best mother???
@@jimhaney6384 that's a reckless statement. She was given a sleeping baby by a baby sitter who had seen her child many times before. I'm sure she was tired already after work, and it's only when she went to do laundry that she realised something was wrong.
Same I had to skip
You heard her sister. Honestly the Mom wasn’t very emotional in the beginning based off what we hear.
As a father, this is horrifying to watch.. How anyone can harm a child is unbelievable to me
Same. I have three kids myself and monsters like Marissa chill my blood. I can't for the life of me imagine what would drive someone to want to kill a baby
She’s a pure evil person
Im not old enough to have kids but I babysit kids and spanking them for something really bad such as sneaking out of stuff is one thing.dont beat your kids.marrissas mom must be absoulotely miserable knowing her child did these despicable things.its heartbreaking.
babies are innocent. Their only way of communication is through crying and all he was doing was trying to tell her something. he was probably crying because he remembered that she was mean to him before.. bless his little heart he was probably so scared. I hate that I watched this entire thing it makes me sick. It will sit with me for weeks.
@@twisterjohnson1007 It's an awful thing to behold. It's important to remember that as bad as these sorta things are, they are thankfully in the minority of things that happen. Most parents are at least decent, and many still are good to their children. Helps put how awful this sort of thing is in perspective.
WHO in their right mind hands over their child to a person that has their own children taken away from child protection service?!?!? The mind boggles!
Marissa seems HIGHLY manipulative, even Adam seems like he was manipulated by her, its likely since the mother knew her and also likely didnt see this side of her she was told someone fucked her (marissa) over
Right my first thought exactly.
Probaby the "mom" who wants to get rid of her child. It was said that she was often frustrated couse of the baby. Some lunatics should never have babies period, when some warm caring people can't have kids on their own...
How can one not immediately check their own baby after getting them from the babysitter.
people that are good at manipulating others into thinking it’s not their fault and someone else’s or something of the sort. it sounds stupid but it happens all the time
Props to these detectives for not grabbing her and just shaking the truth out of her! She is infuriating!
Dude so fucking painful!!!!
They should have she’s so withdrawn probably because she’s still on drugs …
Shaking? You're lenient.
@@lulsauceplain sociopath i feel
She clearly has the IQ of a child and it's scary that people like this can be parents let alone be trusted to babysit anyone. Who in the hell would trust leaving their baby with this person?
Not trying to criticize the mother, she's obviously suffering enough, but why would you put your baby in the hands of someone like this in the first place
How you can smile and chuckle knowing you took a dead baby out in public with you is beyond me and the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. How could you hand a Mother her dead baby? If something happened by accident you try to save the baby wtf??? This is heartbreaking and so maniacal on Marissa's part. I'm fuming right now 😤
Don't burden yourself with trying to understand. It's quite noble for you to want to help by figuring it out, but this woman is a psychopath. People dedicate their lives to studying these kind of people and we still don't really know how it happens. How a person can become so evil.
I thought it strange that the lady waited until the parents came to pick up the kids for the parents to find out about their childs injuries. Or at least thats what it sounded like. In a normal case it would be where the baby sitter would immediately contact the parent and say something like "You baby got hurt while ____. They are ok (or it doesnt seem serious) but they hit their head. What would you like me to do? Would you like to pick them up or would you like me to go to the E.R. and you can meet me there?" or actually rush the child to E.R. then inform the parent. NOT wait until parent arrives to pick up child.
@@Razhalishe's a psychopath, she knew what she did was wrong and thought she could get away with his murder.
demons delight in evil
You can see the other customer at McDonald's looks like she's trying to tell her the babies are cute. Imagine not realizing you're complimenting a dead baby!
Her reaction at 13:15 to being told that the baby is dead is so bizarre and not human.. it's like she CAN'T physically make herself look shocked or sad, she's just straight up incapable of even feeling anything so she struggles to make her face seem like she's devastated. At that moment, you witness a true heartless monster.
I didn't think I'd be scared at this part but holy sh*t. Her face at this point is genuinely TERRIFYING! like looking at a demon. I had to take out my earphones vient even listen. It's kinda like actors, when they fake cry their mouths turn up cuz they're not really sad. It's a microexpression. Ppl actually feeling sadness have downward smiles. She just kept smiling through her entire fake crying attempt like she was almost giddy at the thought. Horrifying
I absolutely agree! It's also telling that she repeatedly denied doing CPR. Then, about an hour and 10 minutes into the video, she says she blew into his mouth. She followed that up with saying that if she knew how to do CPR, she would have because she didn't want him to die. Someone who doesn't want a baby to die immediately calls 911, has the dispatcher help them with the CPR process and gets medical help on the way. She did NONE of this! She didn't give a flying rats ass if that baby died or not. That tells me absolutely everything I need to know about her and her character!
She was smiling
It was like she was smiling like how can you 😢😢😢😢
That was so plain evil. I mean it was not even a nervous laugh, she was like smirking the whole time. Sinister...
For those who don’t have an hour but wanna know what happened:
Marisa was a babysitter for her friend and one day while watching an infant named benson, she became frustrated and threw him forcefully into a pack-n-play. The child hit his head on the corner of the plastic frame and passed away due to the injuries minutes later. Marissa tried to hide his death by putting him in a carrier and going to McDonald’s with her boyfriend. She lied to the boyfriend about the baby’s health so that he would go along with the plan. She then handed the baby off at pickup like everything was normal, leaving the mother to realize he had passed away about half an hour later. Marissa was sentenced to 37 years in jail with another 3 from a secondary child a**use allocation from a few months prior.
Well written wow 😲..Thankyou for sharing ..
Thank u!!
Commenting to help this move up.
oh- when they said he was ice cold, i thought that the abysitter did something to the baby that included freesing him to death
Thank you!
why would you leave your child with someone who has an issue with drugs and is being investigated for child abuse?
Her crying “I would never kill a baby” but as soon as she has to answer a different question her voice goes right back to normal. Just sickening.
☕
What I find to be absolutely chilling is the way she keeps smiling at the most inappropriate times.
This is called DEMONIC POSSESSION
@@100pyatt it's not a demon possession, she's a fucking demon itself
Some people smile like that when they are extremely uncomfortable.
@@100pyatt No. Don't blame this on outside voodoo sources. Some people are just this messed up.
@@mpg272727outside voodoo sources is not always a factor in demonic possession or behavior. However clearly this woman is possessed. All horrific mental health diagnosis stem from demonic activity. Schizophrenia, anxiety, suicidal ideation, hearing voices you name it. There is a spirit behind it all
that captain graham was amazing at getting her to just tell him information. like his voice was so soft and comforting, wow honestly
Don't forget to invite us to the wedding!
So she has a record of child abuse, and can't do CPR, yet you decided to let her babysit your child... just wow.
The fact that she didn't ask the police why they were asking her those questions from the very beginning is a huge red flag. Shes not asking why because she KNOWS why.
exactly!
She killed the child and lost custody of all her other children and she’s pregnant again. Enforced Sterilisation. Now.
No it's not a red flag. Some people decide to cooperate rather than wasting time, whether they are guilty or not. Lots of criminals are habitual liars who will resist questioning and orders, pretend to be innocent when they aren't. It also depends on the officer who is questioning you. If the officer is approachable and empathetic, really trying to understand rather than being harsh and accusing, the suspect is more likely to open up.
What got me was the way she said was "and he was fine" like no one asked
Couldn’t have it said it better myself facts
It is absolutely terrifying the way she clears up, stops crying, and gets talkative the moment the male cop offers up that it could be an accident. You can see her grasp onto that so hard, and get so comfortable that she's like 'oh yeah I put clothes on him and took him into mcdonalds' and 'well yeah i knew she'd figure it out'. Nightmarish. I can't believe she's smiling and chuckling. The officer talking with her did such a good job of being straightforward but not being so harsh that she shuts down. When it comes to the boyfriend, it's hard to tell if he truly didn't notice/is confused/ wasn't paying attention. I think the assumption of him assuming something had been wrong and making up a story because of that makes the most sense. It's tough to see him realize how much more might have happened.
High
29:50 is the moment youre talking about
I babysat through my late teens and if anything like this happened on my watch I would probably be begging the police to lock me up and throw away the key. I struggled leaving the room when putting babies to sleep at night for more than 5 minutes without going back in, making sure they’re in proper sleeping position, breathing, not too cold, etc.. She left a baby in another room ON HIS STOMACH, and really isn’t saying much more than “woopsie daisy”. Really creepy shit.
It's very easy to stop crying if you were never actually crying in the first place. What a scumbag.
@@DB-jg9fkWait til you get to the end. Spoiler
She admits to throwing the baby and watching the baby cry, until he stops and dies. She enjoyed every second of that baby suffering at the end
37 yrs for the life of an innocent baby is simply disturbing. She doesn't deserve to ever see the light of day ever again.
She'll be like 70 years old by then, if she even survives prison for that long.
@@motleyminded85 Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Unless they keep her very securely locked away for those 4 decades (which is a form of torture in itself), she’s gonna have a reeeaaaaal bad time. Nobody likes these kinds of people, and there’s a pretty high chance that some people are willing to risk a bit of extra punishment for the satisfaction of hurting her…
Agree
What kind of mom leaves her kids with a woman who doesn’t have custody of her own kids and is known to have drug issues…?
Her “fake crying” looks like she was holding back laughter. Just sickening 😐
like the commentator said, she was not a good actress
And the worst part of this for me to wrap my head around is the fact that this heartless woman just handed a poor lifeless baby back to his family, like nothing, like they were not going to notice. So horrible!
This same thing happened in my county. We had to take training at work. They brought their dead baby to a local daycare.
I think she thought of it as joke or a twisted surprise.
Which actually means the mother never even looked at her baby. WTH! She did not even want to touch or see his face as she picked him up? 😢😢😢
Yeah I also thought that, cuz you'd think that the mother would want to pick up and hold her baby, I'd of known rt then if something wasn't rt. She did say that, but never even thought to check on her little baby at that moment. Especially since she hadn't seen him all that time she was working or whatever. But maybe in the dark it may have looked like he was sleeping and since he was already strapped to his car seat that she didn't want to wake him. But either way it wouldn't have changed the outcome, and another passing thought was did the mother know of her friends past child abuse cases? That's the other thing too, and that woman's bf how did he not know that when they went to McDonald's he didn't see something was wrong, I mean damn, all these people seem like they're on drugs or something!
Well, to be fair, the parent didn't notice until she picked the baby up, put the baby in the car, got the baby out and did a load of laundry.... Mean, for real....
