We took on a foster child when he was three. Today he is 27 and still has his room down the hall. We never adopted him because he still has biological family, but we tell everyone he is our son. Because he is our son of the heart.
❤ bless your heart marion. a was placed into foster care and then given back to the kids homes like this story however am now on me third family av been given and hopefully this one will last
God bless you
The world needs more people like you Marion 💕
@justus10124:30 🥰
@@alfredwilson4224 I pray that it lasts for you Alfred. It was not an easy journey for us at all, but he was so easy to love even with all his mental health issues. God bless you and show the foster parents that you are worthy of their love. ❤️❤️
"She wasn't even safe, not even after she was murdered". One of the most heartbreaking sentences I've ever heard.
I'm Scottish and I have never heard of this case until tonight. I cannot believe Amber's case wasn't given much more attention by our press What an awful end to her life? RIP Amber 🤍
I live 10 mins from where it happened and it was quite heavily covered by the media around the trial. Must have only been covered locally but I was sure it was wider.
There are many horrendous crimes that don’t make it to national press.
The only crimes that make national/international news are those that fit the narrative and then they bring in new laws.
If they have a law they want to bring in, but nothing happens organically, then they will create a false flag to meet their problem/reaction/solution agenda.
They create the problem, the public reacts so they bring in the solution they’ve already got ready.
The Hegelian Dialectic in full swing.
Same here :(
It was definitely on national news
I live in Scotland and it definitely was well known, his Facebook page was also shared lots because of the posts he had put up which were sickening!
i was friends with amber when i was a child :( thank you for bringing awareness to the case🤍
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Im so sorry
I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was an amazing person...
❤❤❤❤❤ Lots of love hunny
So sorry So Heartbreaking 🤍
How awful not only her brother violated her but a stranger found her & did the same they’re both disgusting human beings & both of them should never be allowed out again, thank you Emma 😊
I can’t imagine how twisted he must be to find a dead child and to molest the body. Absolutely disgusting. Neither of them should ever be allowed out of prison.
I agree. I hope they looked into the history of the necrophile.
Amber’s body was found right next to my work, I remember police everywhere for days. It was horrific, the air just had an eerie, sad feel to it and the impact Amber’s death had on the community was obvious right from the beginning💔
That must of felt so awful .. 😔
Lindsey, I'm sorry . As a woman you must of felt unsafe going to and from work xx
💔
😢 That would have left you Feeling Scared for your own life It's A Horrific Crime Rest Easily Amber ❤️
I remember that feeling well. I live in an area where a primary aged schoolboy was abducted and murdered by a paerdophile in the mid 2000's. The searches in the days prior to him being found then the absolute shock when worst fears are realised, and the days after wondering who could've done such a thing left a dense invisible fog, filled with a whole mix of depressing emotions hanging in the air.
I've just recently discovered your channel and have been binging your videos since. Your compassion and dedication to the cases you cover truly makes you a shining light in the True Crime community.
Emma is amazing!
Have you seen Emma in the mainstream UK true crime documentaries? Was so delighted that she started her channel bringing all that experience with her. She's the only TC creator I ever recommend now. Especially with the flood of new channels who are using artificial intelligence to pump out content when originals like Emma work so hard to give us the real storys.❤
This has to be one of the saddest cases I have heard of in a while. This poor girl didn't have a chance 😢. My heart is so broken for her. R.I.P Amber 🙏
I would just like to say that I worked in the school amber attended and there is a beautiful tribute for amber in the school and a Christmas tree was planted last December in her honour. She made a massive impact on not just the staff but also the children. Amber is missed dearly and is always present in spirit by the people she was surrounded by❤️
she was never listened to at that school, she was severely bullied for being traumatized. She deserved better.
Emma, the work you do to leave legacy for the poor victims and survivors of to our stories is truly incredible. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put it! We all love and appreciate you and send love to you and your family! ❤
The other aspect of a adopted child turning 18 is because it gives extra urgency with getting their own property. It's not always monetary related. Also an 18 y/o leaving care gives eligibility for a grant from the DWP: Setting up home allowance. I was given this myself leaving local authority care.
Thanks for such a compassionate telling of this tragic case. Rest in peace Amber ❤
I feel like the foster parents let her down too. She was younger than her brother so why didn’t they send him back into the care system?
I was thinking the same thing.
I thought that too. She was so vulnerable. They must feel guilty about abandoning her.......as they should.
They removed the sweet Amber and kept the monster 👹. Rip young angel
We did not send her back into the Care system, social work did, against our wishes, the reporting on this is misleading, and guided, Miss Kenny needs to get her facts correct
@@craigniven7530 I’m so sorry if this is true. Trouble is everyone trusts Emma too much to get her facts straight. Maybe too much. I’m sorry for your loss.
I wonder what else Corrighan has done??? This isn’t his 1st “OUTING”. No way. 😡
I’m speechless, this case is horrific. R.I.P Amber ❤️
Amber’s adopted sister was my friend at school this ripped our town apart the fact her own brother done this to her breaks my heart she was the most beautiful little sunflower 🌻 thank you for doing ambers story 😭❤️❤️
Also Craig and Carol and the most amazing parents ever ❤
I watch a lot of true crime cases and just when you think you have seen and heard every messed up thing possible along comes another case that just blows your mind
Thank you for covering this case and helping to give Amber legacy. I had heard about it, but didn’t know all the details, particularly about Corrigan.
My feelings are mixed. There’s only two people to blame for the crimes that happened. There’s something about the overall situation with the foster parents that doesn’t sit right with me though.
RIP Amber.
craig and carol are the most wonderful people who have experienced something awful don't you dare talk awful on them
This was in my town - we were all so shocked and heartbroken - knew of Amber from my work with local authority - such a lovely girl 😢
I stay in Hamilton and when this happened it was so horrifying girls wouldn’t walk about at night x
What a poor little chicken. She was so let down by so many people. But the ultimate betrayal, her own brother was the one to let her down the most, in the worst way possible. R.I.P Amber, I hope you find peace now🩷
Knowing the background of why Amber left the home and then eventually the brother leaving when he turned 18 I must say that it was so hard to hear you speculate and imply that the foster parents may have asked him to leave because they were no longer receiving benefits. Amber didn't feel safe around Connor and chose to leave so that her brother could remain in a stable environment because he had experienced more trauma than her. Connor chose to leave at 18
Looking stunning as always Emma. Congratulations on your UA-cam award 🎉🎉🎉💜💜
The system has to change so children are more safe, the system sucks 😡
Is it ever explained why they kept the brother and sent her away? Why that specific choice? I don’t think I could bear to send only one child away and make them feel abandoned
I've followed you for years and u haven't changed at all I think u are amazing xx
Im so sorry for everyone concerned, this poor girl did not deserve that.
Why did her dad lie to protect his son? As he was an incredible violent man himself did he have an ulterior motive. It’s not as if he cared that much about either child. Both children had been removed by Social Care. Then we have the mad man who abused her dead body. He is really mentally ill to do this he will need to be careful in prison.
Remember to like the video! Its not about 'liking' whats happened to Amber (which is heartbreaking), its showing Emma's channel support so she can continue to bring awareness to these cases with her indepth coverage ❤
I think we know that!
How awfully sad .betrayal at its absolute worst.poor Amber deserves to be remembered thanks Emma ❤
This case makes me so sick
❤ HELLO EMMA & All here tonight , Consistency is key here , your established as id say for us in the UK as being the best true crime analysis channel, people ive suggested to taste the channel are now trying to go through the backlog of your previous episodes now and now on board, they also read all the comments too 🎉 THANK YOU 🎉
Congratulations on your you tube award. I seen you in worcester last yr . Thank you again for all your help . Its helped me be a better parent to my son . ❤
i really enjoy your content! you always cover cases with such empathy and logic, i wish you and your family nothing but the best!🥰
Thanks so much Emma for all your hard work digging deep into all these cases ❤❤
Google searches are gonna be the downfall of many criminals xxxx
Connor should have got longer than 22yrs x
And that sicko should have got a lot more than 9yrs xx 😢😢 thank you,Emma xx
Just so sad, such a young light
I think Amber put her love and trust into her relationship with her brother (as most people would). It appears however that there were many adults who surrounded her who had "bad vibes" about Connor. I wish they had trusted their instincts. I suspect they are left with feelings of guilt. They shouldn't be !! They did their very best to protect her. 😢 How could they believe such evil existed in him.
I'm surprised the Nivens came out & said she was their daughter, when that was not the case at all. They dumped her back in to the system because ONE they couldn't handle her & TWO - the benefit stopped. So why are they even relevant?!?
Amber was removed by social work, we did not dump her anywhere ,nothing to do with benefits, total misleading reporting on here
you have no idea what went on, you don't know them, the nivens loved amber and still do to this day.
I suggested Amber's case for you to cover. Thank you Emma. Rest in peace Amber.
I live in Scotland and this case was heartbreaking. That poor girl, raped twice in the months before her death, and then her corpse desecrated by that human vermin Corrigan.
In the US, Corrigan would have also been charged with the abuse of a corpse and his sentence would have been longer. I don't wish death on anyone and to say I hope he gets the same treatment in prison that he inflicted on Amber's lifeless body would mean he would have to be dead, so I won't allow myself that hope. It'd be poetic justice though, wouldn't it?
I've been watching true crime for years and have heard so many awful things but I think this has got to be the worst thing I've ever heard.
Poor Amber dying in pain and fear at the hands of someone she adored and trusted (probably more than anyone else in the whole world) is devastating and heinous. its incomprehensible that when someone stumbled across this innocent child's broken and dead body, they chose to rape her?! He knew she was dead I'm sure - monster is not strong enough. I feel speechless and unable to express how disgusting this clump of cells is. I can't believe Amber's horrible misfortune to have fallen victim in these ways. Poor, beautiful Amber. I hope she has some peace now.
You should look into the murder of Zaria Burgess by her father. A sad and horrific case, no one has covered it yet. And I think you would give her the respect she deserves.
10 to Life - has covered it.
I think her name is Annalise..
It's the kind of defense case where they go straight for trying to prove their client is mentally incapable of making sensible decisions and lack knowledge of right from wrong, there's no way they can deny he did it. I hate the world sometimes
Poor Amber! 😢 What a life! 😔
What point is it having a kid living in a care home to protect them, if you cant stop them from roaming around town at night?
I watched this the day it was posted but damn this case has officially made me lose any and all faith in humanity! The man who molested her dead body and then HID her WTH OMG I don't even know what to say
Thank you, as ever for your hard work in researching and presenting these cases. Can I also say I saw your Serial Killer Next Door show in Cambridge last night. It was the perfect mix of “entertainment” and information! Thanks again!
I’d love to see you cover Jodi Jones and Luke Mitchell’s case.
Emma, I have to say, you're my most favourite true crime channel! Your videos always offer insights which other true crime UA-camrs don't, you also speak it in a way the others don't too. You're real and I appreciate you for that 🫶🏻I think you're my favourite, in fact no, you ARE my favourite! 😊❤
Thanks for all your hard work Emma i saw in the comments about you receiving a you tube award i am not sure what for as missed that but congratulations ❤❤❤ xx
You wouldnt believe how many times i wanted to press that arrow in the back ground 😅
I cant believe this is her own brother after all they witnessed and experienced together as young children you would think they would be protective of each other breaks my heart and then the other person blows my mind angry ..... and so sad thank you again for being her voice 💔 xx
I've been watching your videos on Facebook for a while now and 8 must say I'm glad you're on UA-cam too.
I love how you tell it as it is 😊
Being a foster carer of siblings can be the hardest thing ever. To have them take their anger out on out you ( because you are their safe place) is a massive toll.. We still look after 3 teenage boys one is at university and still come “home” .
Money has never been a priority for us.
This poor girl never stood a chance😢
This poor girl.
Gotta love Emma and her very deep dives and this one is no different. Steven was so filled with lust that it didn't even occur to him that he could have been blamed and convicted for Amber's murder before molesting her! He's so lucky that Connor left as much of his own DNA on Amber and that with the cctv proof let him off the hook for her murder. Yet is whinging about 9 years is astonishing. Seems UK justice got this one incredibly right because he's now paying for all the other offences he committed against the women in his life, may his appeal be struck down. Big love from San Francisco. ❤
RIP sweet Amber.💜
GBNF is Gone But Not Forgotten.
This one's local to me, I messaged my friend when they found Amber's body because she lives right by Cadzow Glen and walked her dog there twice a day. I remember the fb posts from friends and family - and Connor. Horrific.
Just got in from Cambridge corn exchange where Emma was doing her Killer next door tour!! Fab night with Em !!!! So will be watching this tomorrow!!!
What a heartbreaking case, so sick and evil . No chance for Amber to grow meet someone,have children,live a life.😢
Hi Emma, thanks for another deep dive... Heartbreaking 💔... I have to say I'm loving your background... especially the painting...
Wow. It's impossible to determine which of these disgusting pseudo-humans is the more despicable offender. RIP Amber ❤️
Pseudo -human I'd say is the correct term ...
@@joanclawford8964 thank you! It was a challenge to come up the nearest appropriate term LOL
Is it possible to release him from prison the day they bury him under it?
Heartbreaking case .
Well done on your UA-cam award! I see it nicely sat by you
I’m glad you explained why they might leave at 18 if fostered as it’s not adoption.
How awful for the poor girl to even think it might be her fault for being raped just because she wasn’t fully clothed.
I’m really tired of the atrocities in this world whether it’s this, war or anything else that just doesn’t seem in keeping with humanity.
Anyway, rant over- another great but sickening video, thanks Em x
Explanation is completely wrong, Connor left our care of his own accord, you can be fostered up to 21 in Scotland, and receive support up to 25,and in some cases the rest of your life, as Connor would have needed, Amber was removed from our care by social work and placed in a children's unit, against our wishes
Although Amber had a rougher life than many, it sounds like she was destined to break the cycle and do bigger things in life. She was kind and caring, she was incredibly sensible for her age and despite her struggles it sounded genuinely like she was doing quite well at that stage in life. I can’t believe her brother could be so sick and twisted. They both looked like such innocent beautiful children I cannot understand the psychological reasons behind what went so wrong for him to randomly want to rape and kill her 😢 but I guess more often than not, monsters breed monsters right..
Love your hair! You’re so lovely :)
Motherhood sits very well on you
My best friend and her husband took sisters to adopt aged 2 and 3
Thanks, Emma. I hadn't heard of this case.
I love the new background, btw 😊
Ur show last night in Cambridge was amazing ❤ thank u!
I live 5 minutes from Hamilton and remember her body being found. It was so shocking and so so sad 😢
I am in still the very early parts of the video, however, I believe that Amber acting out as she was, when she was, was down to her brother abusing her on some level. Usually, from what I’ve seen, when a teenager is being abused or has been raped and it’s not discussed or dealt with they have maladaptive behaviors because they don’t know how to deal with it. so it seems to me they tend to act out as teenagers normally would but blown way out of proportion because the parents or caregivers aren’t realizing that there’s something deeper disturbing the child.
Just beyond heartbreaking 💔
Failed over and over again, sleep tight beautiful girl xx
Looking forward to seeing you again at Rotherham, on 20th Emma x
Why was Amber removed from the foster family instead of Connor? Makes no sense
At times, my friends found it difficult to let or encourage the four-year-old little girl to be a child, because she had always been used to mothering her younger sister and still wanted to do so
My kid's went into Foster care because of dv they both ended up with crap foster carer's my son got fed sandwiches everyday some are in it for the money I did eventually get them back but the thing's they have told me it's sad because there dad was killed while in foster care and they never got any help with there mental health my son is 21 now and he as bad mental health issues they like taking kid's but don't provide mental health help 😢
craig and carol are incredible people.
Thank you Emma xx
Can you have a look and tell the story of Mary Bell? 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely heartbreaking I remember this unfortunately this was in my home town it's horrific rip amber ❤
You always look stunning emma. Hope you are well. Love to you, Pete, the boys and Etta xxx
Well presented and researched
Haven't watched it yet, just wanted to say I love your hair this way. Color looks amazing!
AND…… this is why you are worth every penny ( I wish more). Smashed it Em, out of park. Tugged my heart big time. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Emma iz it just me,why am Icontinuosly seeing pedophiles and rapists walk out ov the police stations with bail,and yet if your a shoplifter or a drug dealer you will go to prison,what has the world come to when a rapist gets less time than someone selling drugs to keep Thier own addiction
Hi Emma
Could you please do the case of Steven Avery
I just discovered your channel this evening this video is my 3rd watched within hrs
Thank you
My son goes to kear campus and I live in East kilbride 😳 how have I never heard of this when it is right on my doorstep?!
In Scotland we have continuing care and supported care meaning they can stay in their placement & the carers still receive payments
I love your new setup!
I would just like to take a moment to say how radiant u look Emma. I'm not saying u have looked bad in the past u just have a glow. I don't know if u have done something different but u have a certain glow about u.
Poor Amber 😔
Why has the UK abolished the death penalty?
It’s very wrong that foster care is business for some people unbelievable I am surprise that foster parents didn’t catch any red flags and I am sure there were some when they were under their wings But of course it was only business for them R I P beautiful girl
carol and craig and wonderful people, you don't know them, don't talk on them
I’m really wondering why the Nivens gave Amber up and not her brother?!?! He sounds like a rotten kid and she sounds like a sweetheart! Why would they do that to her? Of course I don’t understand how you can give up kids after raising them. Even when he turned 18. I wouldn’t be able to let them go and I wouldn’t foster kids for the money!
I also don’t agree with the sentences for either of them!!!
they didnt give her up, socials took her
Absolutely insane 💔
Amber had her life stolen by someone she trusted and then, as she lay dead, she was s3xually violated by a monster in the shadows.... Poor girl..I pray she's at peace 🕊️😢
