With parents like Charlene's, she didn't stand a chance. There is a documentary on UA-cam about it. The final part of it makes for very disturbing viewing indeed.
Why was the 14 years old Charlene out late night at a bar? Her mother met her little bit earlier. She should had taken her daughter home with her. Instead she allowed the girl wandering the streets and Bars till midnight? Thats not right. Me as a mother would have a comstant bad feeling about her wellfare if she'd be my child. Late at night a lot of Freaks and weirdos are out on the streets and lure the teens into dangerous situations.
She was being groomed it wouldn’t have mattered what time of day or night it was, she could have been killed at any point by them. She wasn’t lured by anyone she was killed by people she already knew.
There is some good news to come out of this episode, Angus Sinclair died in prison in March this year. Unfortunately though, it means he only ended up serving 5 years for the murders and there are undoubtedly loads more that he got away with.
@@meyergaelle8108 Although for murder I agree that rehab should only be considered in rare circumstances. Rehab, on the whole, is not a bad thing IMO.
Why should her mom be blamed? Those young men/boy’s should be blamed, not her mom. Why is it always the victims fault? Father’s/mother’s should teach their son’s how they should behave!
So sad. What a beautiful girl and such a waste of young life. I’m so so sorry to the mother and family. I hope you can some day find a way to get by in life as best you can. Gone but never forgotten by her loved ones. Rest in peace angel. Xxxxx
Have your key ready as you get to the flats. Worth remembering whether male or female. And walking home alone in the early hours of the morning is always risky. The rapists are the ones to blame for the attack we shouldn't blame victims but it is best to take precautions.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
30:00 she wasn’t raped at all... it was mentioned on another episode but can’t think what one... can anyone remember? Pure disgrace hope she’s proud of herself
@E A think u find she was lying there was an episode 2 month after saying that they wasn’t lookin for anyone they apologise to the lads involved an that she was lying find the episode or look it up
Wow, the world looks down on Americans for their excessive gun violence, but after watching some Crimewatch episodes, I have the impression that Brits are way more violent.
What a sick world we live in just shows you theres a lot of dangerous people out there in the world scum of the earth and waste of life these criminals are.
When Tommy Robinson tried to talk about grooming in 2009 and before - you called him racist. Even though you now know and report on it you still call him racist. You don't have any examples of this -;there aren't any. You should have taken notice.
Tommy robinson has deluded everyone ,😂😂 I've been watching crimewatch since 1984 i hardly ever missed the show and allllll these years I've watched it only 3% of the criminals are muslim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice try tommy 😂😂😂

Thanks for uploading, it is annoying that BBC iPlayer take this down after a day. Thank you so much.
Yeah I agree, that's why I thought I'd upload as I normally miss it when it's on
wtf are these girls doing walking about the town at midnight? no sense of lurking danger around.

MelK Exactly! Shite parenting
I agree. It's a paedophiles play ground arcades are
She was being groomed it wouldn’t have mattered what time of day or night it was, she could have been killed at any point by them. She wasn’t lured by anyone she was killed by people she already knew.
There’s nothing to suggest she was being groomed they haven’t even found her or her body yet.
Bek S wtf that’s bad do u have a name for g so I can google him

It's good he died because the UK justice system is joke rehabilitation all that bollocks after few years he would get out free

That is good news indeed.😉
He's serving a better sentence now in hell
JUSTICE FOR SHAUN JAMES! rip uncle Shaun, I love you and miss you💕
Kacey Watts sorry for your loss big hugs Xxxxx
Any news on this??? Xx
My sincere condolences Kacey Watts
Really sorry for your loss was the killer caught? I hope so
Yeah why did this happen must be a reason
Really winds me up that the mom let her stay out so late
Charlotte Jade maybe but she was a teen and her Mum was probably didn’t realise what was going on Xx
Why should her mom be blamed? Those young men/boy’s should be blamed, not her mom. Why is it always the victims fault? Father’s/mother’s should teach their son’s how they should behave!
The mum pimping her out to the peadophiles living in their house was worse.. the one that charlene told her had been inappropriate.
Prepare to get a lot madder at her. Watch The Murder of Charlene Downes (2019).

Here here ☘️
Wtf was going on when that guy hypnotised that dude and took the takings.!?🤷🏻♂️🤣
I want to know more about what happened to
I totally believe the dog was on the pedals and he couldn’t control the dog or the car. That’s a heavy, stubborn dog.
all young had too much freedom wandering on her own what hell parents doing dangerous
What an unfit mother letting her young child out that late to walk the streets smh some people shouldn't be allowed to have children
Parents shouldnt try to be cool with their kids, you've got one job look after them, guide them till they're old enough to do it by themselves.
Yep, but she was an even worse mother than that.
These arcades are the devils hunting ground. They are such sinister places, especially after dark. Children and predators are drawn to them.
She didn’t even meet her killer in the arcades, she met them in a takeaway, she had known them for some time before she was killed.
Dirty Blackpool.
sorry but wouldn't you be telling your 14 year old to get her backside home! RIP Charlene
Trish G Why not? A good parent would.
Good point Xx
@@Aarontlondon thanks for your pointless comment Sherlock ...😩😩 GTFOH
Who ever killed Charlene Downes, I hope you rot in hell!!!

Why on earth would any parent worth their salt let a 14 year old wander the streets at 11 pm at night-absolute disgrace to be honest!
If the psychiatrist had been listened to, after he agressed a 7yr old .ALL the other crimes would not be. IF
Remember this story
Sad poor girl🙏🙏🙏
So many foreign criminals and murdering psychopaths on crimewatch
Shoulnt be allowed in the country filthy sods
I'm guessing the speeding dog is not the one in the dog house this time😂😂

So strange coming across this today. Today's news showed a girl who faked a rape, smashed her face up with a hammer. So none of this happened at all?
Kirsty young will never replace jill dando
Wow, the world looks down on Americans for their excessive gun violence, but after watching some Crimewatch episodes, I have the impression that Brits are way more violent.
They use knives and bats. Silent and deadly.
No. America's violent crime rate is way, way higher than anywhere in Western Europe - and that includes the UK
I disagree
First case.. did she say 10 yrs old? No way was she aloud out at tht time on her own?? X omg pls find her safe.x
10 years old when she moved to Blackpool but 14 when she disappeared
What a sick world we live in just shows you theres a lot of dangerous people out there in the world scum of the earth and waste of life these criminals are.
Did Martin replace Rav? He’s so much better.💜
Who cares?
Rav ruined crimewatch.
How many eastern European crims :)
Too many
Shit loads
I heard that's why they cancelled this show. Foreign criminals were too over represented for the BBC's tastes.
That's why Crimewatch got took off the air,too many foreign criminals are on it ,Crimewatch were worried they'd be called RACIST.
Ha ha the dog did it
The dog ate my homework
What is a BT website? ?
British telecom?
Do you mean BBC website? The BBC is the main broadcasting company in the UK and Crimewatch is shown on the BBC channel if this helps
Why the shirt every week, No collar ? a statement.
Don't drink too much.
Crime Watch watching pk please shop thease asap
Huh 🤔
That spelling is a crime
The frame rate is absolutely shit

That giirl lied about bein gang raped if was ob another episode
Why did she lie?
unwatchable, god knows why you uploaded it.
yes the picture is all off
WWE1982 shut up and pay for it then
Fuckoff then
Rude. There is a way to state your issue without being rude to someone who is doing you a favor.
It’s a bit choppy but come on it’s still watchable!
That speeding driver was barking mad the police collared the doggo👍😅
Tommy robinson has deluded everyone ,😂😂 I've been watching crimewatch since 1984 i hardly ever missed the show and allllll these years I've watched it only 3% of the criminals are muslim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice try tommy 😂😂😂
