I’m sorry but if you are adopting a child legally and both parents sign the adoption there’s no reason to give the child back simply because the parents changed their mind you don’t give someone a whole entire life to love and care for just to take it back and on top of it all like in this case torture the child also
I think the attorney handling her adoption didn't follow through right and left it open for the mother to try and get her back. She had not been legally adopted yet and it made it easier for the bio mom to intervene. But it still shouldn't have happened.
My 2nd was adopted by choice & as much as I regret it I would never of asked for him back for this reason. Its selfish. Its the hardest decision ever but those are the consequences of unplanned pregnancy 😒😪😔
They didn’t give her back because her birth mum changed her mind. The attorney hadn’t finalised the paperwork as they should have and they didn’t have the legal right to keep her as a result - although they fought to and had visitation, eventually custody was granted to Lauren’s birth mother.

The lawyer should have filed the termination of parental rights. It sucks because it’s so hard to take a biological parents rights away. But they should have checked on Lauren. Not just give her back and never follow up. Those parents should have been under to watch of CPS with random home visits.
it's sad she ended up arrested for sexually assaulting a teenage girl.. it just goes to show that this kind of abuse is almost impossible to fully recover from. I can imagine she still has a hard time understanding what a healthy relationship is.. hopefully she can at least avoid making anymore mistakes like that.
Yup the system is going to fail her twice because she needs intense therapy and help and unless she has both extremely strong family support and good healthcare it’s not going to happen and she will come out worse.
Lauren doesn't comprehend healthy normal relationship. How can she? I KNOW, so please understand I've been there, abused, forsaken, abandoned, betrayed
Poor girl is a completely broken human. Her adoptive parents tried their best, and clearly loved her, but omg the cousin’s husband then abusing her too? What a PoS.

@@OldRaver I agree. Hurt people hurt people. In most criminal cases I have no problem throwing the book at them; BUT, in her case I would sentence her to a million hours of therapy and love. Truly heartbreaking.

What I really hate now is she has PTSD so that she relives these events all the time and is a mess I wish she could be well and free. Her girlfriend has to "baby proof" the house so Lauren doesn't hurt herself during her dreams.
And not only that^ But that the child you chose to torture was your DAUGHTER. Like, it's still just as bad with ANY child, but your own child just... has a whole different air to the situation... How could anyone do something so vile to a child in the first place? I'm the mother of a 5 year old and just thinking of anyone even THINKING of hurting her in any way makes me feel sick... Even just touching her. I can't imagine what I'd do if I got my hands on someone like her mom and step dad. I'd probably be the one going to jail for life.
When I saw the photographs that her adoptive parents took , like everyone , to me it was so obvious that those weren’t normal and it looked like some of them were cigarette burns . Hindsight is a great thing but what got me was the interview he gave defending his decision saying they didn’t look that bad but had suggested that if they could say that this behaviour didn’t carry on he was okay with giving her parents custody . This is the point where you shout “ where were the social workers that should have been on top of this ? “ They should be able to spot signs of physical abuse . They should have taken a look at the parents like they scrutinise potential foster carers and adoption parents . It doesn’t look like this was done and considering the adoptive parents were flagging abuse no one seemed to be listening to them who seemed to be the only ones looking out for Lauren’s well-being . Even an apology from the judge would go a long way but I doubt he thinks that his decision was wrong and even now he doesn’t take any responsibility for giving Lauren a childhood of abuse that she has to live with forever . I hope that he and the social workers have learned something, even if it might be small , that they are making decisions that will impact someone’s life forever .
It's ironic that their names are Barbie and Ken but this was the opposite of a Dreamhouse. Horrifying. I hope this girl has an amazing life from now on. She truly deserves it.
She had a 'consensual' relationship with a fourteen year old girl she met online.. yes it's wrong and I'm not trying to make excuses for her but she's developmentally delayed because of all the horrific abuse and malnutrition in her childhood and I'm sure she has a hard time differentiating what's right and wrong in sexual situations given her horrific past.
You mean dark soul www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/03/01/girl-in-the-closet-lauren-kavanaugh-indicted-after-admitting-she-sexually-assaulted-a-teenage-girl/
Wow. Its so sad. Its no surprise. Unfortunately when kids are so severely abused something breaks in their mind and there is no coming back from that. Heartbreaking.
The fact she was only 25lbs when she was discovered at age 8.... To put that in to perspective for those that don't know how underweight that is: My 16 month old daughter weighs about 22lbs... Sickening what she had to go through. Lord help if I'm ever in the same room as these sickos....
My 3 kids were each TEN lbs at BIRTH. This is horrendous. I wish I could talk to this girl. Hope she understands 1000% it wasnt her fault. My heart goes out to her, wish her all the best. Xoxo
I think the judge was evil. He had the evidence of the photos and he still granted custody?? This is why i do not trust the 'justice' system. I hope he feels guilt. You are so beautiful and resilient Lauren.
When the narrator said “and that night she was raped in the family barn” I literally said “oh my god” out loud. What a horrifying story. I can’t believe I’m just coming across this either. Truly heartbreaking but glad these videos are still up because I’m proof that they continue to reach new people and bring awareness to these real life situations. I hope she’s doing well today 😞🙏🏼
Lauren if you are reading this, I am sorry the world failed you. You didn't deserve any of it. No one that goes through it deserves it. They system failed you. Your mother failed you. But, in the end the unseen fought for you & you are with us for a reason. I experienced abuse as a child, not to the extent you did...and I've struggled with it my whole life. Seeing you now and seeing how far you've come is an inspiration to rise above any challenges life throws our way. But, doubt for a second that you are someones hero. I will always keep you in prayer.
It's so sad that she was so badly harassed by players on her college footbal team, that she had to quit college. I wonder how much shit she must endure. Why she can't just be alowed to have some good experiences in her life. Always some shits that has to make her life even harder than it allready is.
Yes it's sad that she was not treated good in collage it's amazing that she went to collage after all she endured she deserved so much better then what she has dealt with from childhood etc how any two humans could treat there kids the way they did is beyond me.
I felt physical pain listening to her story. Sweet Lauren you are worth everything and deserve the world, I'm so proud of you and so immensely sorry you encountered the purest evil during the most crucial years of child hood. I hope you can find love and comfort in someone and live a life of peace
Makes me wanna just pull that child out of the picture and hug her so tight ... no child should ever ever go through anything like that. She’s so strong and an inspiration
@@mememom9293 you need to learn child psychology and sexual abuse survivors psychology if you think posting that story of what she did to that girl is going to change the sympathy we feel for her.
@@HotCheetoGirl_ sympathy for the child that was, not for the monster that is. There are plenty of people who have gone through worse and choose to do the right thing as adults.
@@lizziemiss945 no, sympathy for the child that was and the woman that is because of the child she was. Grow up. Experiences make us who we are. And you calling her a monster also shows you know nothing about child psychology and trauma. There are so many victims who become perpetrators and it's not talked about enough. We just assume they are sick twisted evil people but we never think about their mental health. Y'all love to talk about mental health until it's something you don't like. Mental health applies to everyone.
I LOVE her smile, dimples and all. She is beautiful inside and out from what I can see. God has a special plan for her. I would love to be a friend of hers.
Not really. She's evil. Ended up just like her parents www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/03/01/girl-in-the-closet-lauren-kavanaugh-indicted-after-admitting-she-sexually-assaulted-a-teenage-girl/
I remember hearing about this in the news my own daughter was about her age at the time it all came out. This girl is so strong it's amazing, I suffered the first 19 years of my life with abuse, I was not locked in a closet but, everything else was done to me same as Lauren. Everyday is a real struggle to go on yet Lauren push's on not letting anyone or anything get in her way, it's very inspiring.
Emily Griffin unfortunately she’s in jail now. If you google her it’s the first thing to come up. It shows that some people can never truly escape the trauma :(
Sorry for what you had to go through, can I just say on a positive note you have one of the nicest smiles I've seen on a girl and I can tell you would make a great friend. They have taken enough years from you don't give them any more, wishing you many years of happiness to come ( writing from Ireland , James)
I cannot put into words just how much I wish for her happiness in life. She is awe inspiring and I truly look up to her. It's like seeing a person move a mountain.
She can't say she loves something because she can't allow herself to be vulnerable. Every time she has been vulnerable, horrible people have abused her and taken advantage of her. What a sad story about the impact of abuse and neglect. My heart is breaking for her.
And making excuses that there wasn't enough evidence of abuse. Those pictures and the adoptive parent's explanations weren't enough to at least investigate it??
Many might not think about this, but there's judges, politicians and other people with power that are pedophiles and who are sadistic. It's pretty much obvious that these her biological parents abused her and evidence tells as much. Anyone would see this and Not put her back into the hell she was in.
5:28 I feel so bad. Her mom was probably so scared, being so fearful for Lauren. Then let’s her go have fun for the first time, and disaster. That poor girl.
She is such a babydoll! The most precious smile. It kills me that someone would do this to another human. I pray for this sweet angel's recovery. She is beautiful and a survivor .
@@krizzyj1974 its sad. All that happened to her than she would go and due it to another girl. She knows the pain. Knowns how it feels to be treated so horribly. Why would she hurt a little girl lile that knowing how it feels.
Most rapy smile. www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/03/01/girl-in-the-closet-lauren-kavanaugh-indicted-after-admitting-she-sexually-assaulted-a-teenage-girl/
I've just heard about Lauren's story a year ago and I'm absolutely heartbroken. Ever since I first saw her Dr. Phil episodes I have NEVER stopped watching these over and over. I'm 20 years old and she is the absolute inspiration to me. I think Lauren is the definition of strong. I suffer depression like Lauren does due to my own mother. I havent been abused but in short story terms my mother doesn't really care about me. Watching Lauren's story is an inspiration to me because she is a depression survivor herself and she continues to strive through, and that to me gives me the reason to be strong in my own depression. So thank you, Lauren. As for Barbie and Ken, I hope those two experience the feeling of hatred, anger, and hurt. Especially Barbie. I normally am very forgiving and I am civil with everyone, but she is one of those person where if I ever crossed a bridge with her, I would slap her. Such a disgusting human being. If she actually loved Lauren and wanted to be her mother, she would have been the person to show her why fighting to get custody of her was worth it. For her to say that she loved her all along and has done this to her makes it seem to me like she wanted custody of being able to hurt Lauren. And that is even more disgusting. I have read this story online and somewhere it said either Barbie or her mother had a mental illness. But it is still no excuse for this. I wish Lauren all the best in life. She really deserves it more than anyone I've ever seen. ❤
Her natural family is sick they all have bad souls for doing that to her. I mean even the relatives that raped her shows their blood line is sick n dark.
Also, some men think that if a girl's already been raped, she can't take it again as she's already 'ruined'. Horrible mentality but that's how rapists think.
It wasn't her "bloodline" at all though that "relative" was Sabrina her ADOPTED mother's niece's husband. The only one from her bloodline that did horrific stuff was Barbie. Kennith wasn't her birth dad he was Barbie's boyfriend and no one really knows who her birth dad is.
Lisa G She was referencing information that was in a different video. Her mother, shown in this video originally adopted her as an infant. Her bio parents took her back as a baby on a technicality w/ the adoption paperwork. They kept her locked in a closet for years, starved her and she was abused and raped by different men including extended relatives. That is the bio bloodline the other poster was referencing. It was talked about in other video, just not this one as it is a part of a series.
@@trueCrimeGuruYes It was her direct maternal bloodline that brought all of the suffering and pain. Her mother's evil was the conduit for all her suffering no matter whose hands are guilty.
ChristineF1234 Me too. The ending really broke my heart for her. She didn’t experience love in the crucial time of her life and now never will. I hope those bastards that hurt her rot in prison.
They absolutely ruined her life. What she did was wrong but how can you expect her not to think it wasn’t right? That’s all she knew growing up. The horrible things she went through, shaped and damaged her mental state.
I can't even imagine how strong Lauren has had to be through all this. She is amazingly brave and an example to anyone going through a tough time, because she proves that you can pull through it, such a remarkable and amazing girl
We must remember the loving support and therapy; not all are so lucky. Many just end up being pulled from the home and put into the system. For them, healing is an uphill struggle, usually alone.
Its so tragically heart breaking to think how close she had been to growing up in a loving happy family and I’m sure there must be times they wonder what she could have been without that trauma. She is a testament to the strength of human spirit and obviously such a brave resilient soul and thank goodness she has the Kavenaughs.
Lord, I lift up this young lady to you for healing, for peace, love and joy that does not depend on her circumstances. I pray that you will show yourself to her in powerful ways at all times and help her to trust you and depend on you for her well being. Hold her in the palm of your hands, heal her with your great Physicians ability. Gather her like a mother hen does her chicks and protect her from the evil in this world. AMEN
If your God exists and is all powerful and love,why he would let a baby or anybody go through something so horrible like this??? He chooses to ignore suffering? We are talking about a loving God right? Your God that decides who should be blessed and who should suffer is worthless!!
Polly Potleaf you are saying this girl deserve what happened to her? Was an honest question, you can't answer it and send me to Google it?I'm not negative,just asking where is your almighty god when something like this happens,I'm glad this girl was rescued ad I hope she does well in life
Polly Potleaf Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness,I make peace and create evil.I'm Jehovah,that forth all this things. You Google it,any version of the bible,the word of God right? Done with the conversation.
Lauren I don't know you but I would hug you right now and tell you to have faith in love because you deserve to be loved and you deserve nothing but the best I will pray for you tonight
Kaley Alexander vicious cycle. Still terrible she went through all that pain but it doesn't excuse putting others through pain and manipulation as well.
There are two kinds of Judges in Family Court; one who caters to the parents, and one who caters to Children's Services. The way evidence is written can make Demons look like Mother Teresa, and Mother Teresa look like a Demon. Family Court is anything but working; and yet there is no change from 50 years ago! And....Evil prevails on all sides in the Halls of Justice!
why why WHY did Barbie demand them to give Lauren back...when in court, she said "I never loved Lauren. I never wanted her." She said she never wanted her, so then WHY ON EARTH did she steal her back??
🍬Sugar Sweet🍬 but patter seem to no lie and they have consistently without a flick practiced the same behavior. I was stating white people have millions of years of the same patterns.
My heart was already breaking about all of the awful things they did but I lost it when she was harmed at a sleepover. There is love in the world Lauren, I’m so sorry.
I want to hug her and tell her that she has a huge purpose in life. That there are people out there that love her and love isn't supposed to hurt. She is lovable and I pray that she really knows what love is someday. Love is never abuse!
This is one of the most harrowing stories I have ever come across. That poor girl, it makes me so angry and sad that she went through this. Just horrible. Good luck with your future Lauren, such a brave soul.
Unknown Money can't buy happiness and it won't for sure help her forget either, those are scars it's there to stay and she must live with it all she can do is hope it heals on its own
So have charges been filed against Lynn E. Markham? He's the man would was presented with evidence of abuse towards the child, and yet awarded custody of the child back to the abusers. So he's the one who's responsible for all of this. I want to know if he will be punished for what he did here.
I know this is an older "show", but, I just have the need/want to, to tell Lauren just what a cute set of dimples on that beautiful face! I love her smile! I am SO glad she didn't let anyone take that last sparkle in her eyes! I know how hard life has been, but, Sweetie, you MADE IT!! I am so proud of you and your Mom for keeping that sparkle alive and showing those hateful people that you will and DID get back up and now, you can sparkle all you want! You are what heroes are made of! Some may knock you down, but, dang it, you get right back up and show the world you will NOT be anyone's door mat!!
“You just do what you have to do. I did what I had to” 💔 Most heartbreaking statement ever. And despite your horrific abuse and past trauma you manage to find the words of “I told her, just don’t give up on anything” 👏🏼 inspiring. Lauren, if you ever stumble across these comments please believe we support you. On those bad days, better believe there’s thousands of pairs of hands lifting you up in spirit. What an amazing person with a beautiful, genuine smile that gives me butterflies. Thank you for surviving and thriving, I wish you all the happiness in the world.
That poor darling. I work with abused children, and it is truly heartbreaking. I am so happy that she has such wonderful new parents who love and care about her
This girls strength is so amazing! She's been through so much and still is a kind and compassionate human being. She sees the world differently and still cares for people around her. Lauren, if you see this, you're so strong and you didn't deserve ANY of the horrible things that happened to you! You have such a beautiful soul, never forget that! You're such a beautiful person all the way around!
Spyridoula Lamprou - in my divorce, I felt like I was just another number. I had concerns as well... well you can imagine what my concerns were met with - yep, nothing but indifference.
The Law is made by people and those people that have authority are corrupt themselves. Those that can help wont unfortunatly. The world is a horrible place. Those that have been abused suffer the most not those that abuse. Surely it should be the other way round? so those that are abused are protected and feel safe. We should live in a world where women and babys and those that are vulnerable and innocent feel safe. We live in a world where your only safe if u have money and All u need is Money to live and be happy. Those that have authority have a responsibility. Not the victims.
she has a beautiful smile:) I just want her to know, there is a lot of people who support and love you. No matter what you went through, where you are, and who you have become, I will always support and pray for you. Have a wonderful life from now on.
& this is part the reason i never sleep well anymore. i dont look to beat up from it ither, i struggle to sleep wen i can get a few hours & i take good care of my hygene, but the pains are relentless. MY DAUGHTER. she was going to be my life.....
She did NOT do what her stepfather did to her. It was statutory rape, the girl "consented." She didn't torture her, lock her in a closet, forcibly assault her..Did she commit a crime? Absolutely, but not to the level of the abuse she suffered.
Guess she's joining them www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2019/03/01/girl-in-the-closet-lauren-kavanaugh-indicted-after-admitting-she-sexually-assaulted-a-teenage-girl/
I hope she never goes through anything else like this. She is so beautiful, sweet, and she's just so freaking nice to deserve that. I am so glad that she is able to smile to this day. She is so lucky to have survived that. I haven't even known anybody that's survived sexual abuse, physical abuse, etc. she is amazing! ♥🌹
Sweet precious girl. This world is insanely evil, and innocent children pay the worst price of all. Lauren is a freaking warrior. I hope she continues to be surrounded by the love and support she’s always deserved.

They didn’t give her back because her birth mum changed her mind. The attorney hadn’t finalised the paperwork as they should have and they didn’t have the legal right to keep her as a result - although they fought to and had visitation, eventually custody was granted to Lauren’s birth mother.

This is the point where you shout “ where were the social workers that should have been on top of this ? “ They should be able to spot signs of physical abuse . They should have taken a look at the parents like they scrutinise potential foster carers and adoption parents . It doesn’t look like this was done and considering the adoptive parents were flagging abuse no one seemed to be listening to them who seemed to be the only ones looking out for Lauren’s well-being .
Even an apology from the judge would go a long way but I doubt he thinks that his decision was wrong and even now he doesn’t take any responsibility for giving Lauren a childhood of abuse that she has to live with forever . I hope that he and the social workers have learned something, even if it might be small , that they are making decisions that will impact someone’s life forever .
Judges are infallible.
This is were an AI judge would've done its job and brought justice. Humans are biased, self-centered idiots
Oh my gosh…you got that right!!!
When the judge says 'it just wasn't there' after they show the blatant evidence pictures, makes my blood boil 🤬
It's ironic that their names are Barbie and Ken but this was the opposite of a Dreamhouse. Horrifying. I hope this girl has an amazing life from now on. She truly deserves it.
She ended up abusing someone else 🤮🤮🤮🤮 hope she makes better choices!
Just quoting Phil
Wane felicia who did?
MaritsaLV Lauren did
She had a 'consensual' relationship with a fourteen year old girl she met online.. yes it's wrong and I'm not trying to make excuses for her but she's developmentally delayed because of all the horrific abuse and malnutrition in her childhood and I'm sure she has a hard time differentiating what's right and wrong in sexual situations given her horrific past.
That judge should have been horse whipped.
Isnt that a little too light of a punishment?
Repeatedly weekly just enough time for wounds to heal then rip them open again. He makes me sick
Judge should be locked in a closet for 5 years and fed out of dog food bowls. Oh, and use bread sacks to shit in.
Horse whipped in a zoo!
Point me to a more beautiful soul than her. Wow man, she deserves every blessing headed her way.
Jeremiah Matthew 👏🏼👏🏼🤞🏽she really does.

I just found out that Lauren was arrested for sexually assaulting a minor I feel so terrible for her and the victim :(
Wow. Its so sad. Its no surprise. Unfortunately when kids are so severely abused something breaks in their mind and there is no coming back from that. Heartbreaking.
Source?
So damaged
That’s very common
She is a damaged child, her real parents are going to burn in hell
this story should make any parent cry
The fact she was only 25lbs when she was discovered at age 8.... To put that in to perspective for those that don't know how underweight that is: My 16 month old daughter weighs about 22lbs... Sickening what she had to go through. Lord help if I'm ever in the same room as these sickos....
Thank you,thats very tiny :(
My son weights 26lbs and is 24 months 😭
My 3 kids were each TEN lbs at BIRTH. This is horrendous. I wish I could talk to this girl. Hope she understands 1000% it wasnt her fault. My heart goes out to her, wish her all the best. Xoxo
My 3 year old neice ways 24 pounds
Right there is when I lost it.
The adoptive mother is lovely
Yes the love for that girl shows
that is what I was thinking during this video. The adoptive mother is so loving and nurturing, I can't think of a better person to raise Lauren.
I think the judge was evil. He had the evidence of the photos and he still granted custody?? This is why i do not trust the 'justice' system. I hope he feels guilt. You are so beautiful and resilient Lauren.
The lawyer also forgot to file the papers finalizing the adoption, but the judge failed her. She also tried to take her life 30x
The judge was the executioner
It happens daily in family court. The judge grants custody to the abuser.
When the narrator said “and that night she was raped in the family barn” I literally said “oh my god” out loud. What a horrifying story. I can’t believe I’m just coming across this either. Truly heartbreaking but glad these videos are still up because I’m proof that they continue to reach new people and bring awareness to these real life situations. I hope she’s doing well today 😞🙏🏼
Lauren if you are reading this, I am sorry the world failed you. You didn't deserve any of it. No one that goes through it deserves it. They system failed you. Your mother failed you. But, in the end the unseen fought for you & you are with us for a reason. I experienced abuse as a child, not to the extent you did...and I've struggled with it my whole life. Seeing you now and seeing how far you've come is an inspiration to rise above any challenges life throws our way. But, doubt for a second that you are someones hero. I will always keep you in prayer.
This is honestly the most horrifying story I have ever heard. God bless you, Lauren.
what kind of 'human' does this to their own child
MendesArmy What kind of "human" does this to any child...😭
her mother was a child of a schitzophrenic who was then adopted by pedophiles who abused her too.It's not an excuse but it explaines.
Claudia Romanov how did you find that out
dearviyon hyman: I watched those videos about her, Dr.Phil and others.
MendesArmy why did they pick her I don't understand
It's so sad that she was so badly harassed by players on her college footbal team, that she had to quit college. I wonder how much shit she must endure. Why she can't just be alowed to have some good experiences in her life. Always some shits that has to make her life even harder than it allready is.
Yes it's sad that she was not treated good in collage it's amazing that she went to collage after all she endured she deserved so much better then what she has dealt with from childhood etc how any two humans could treat there kids the way they did is beyond me.
Well, she is in jail now for having sexual relations with a minor girl
I felt physical pain listening to her story. Sweet Lauren you are worth everything and deserve the world, I'm so proud of you and so immensely sorry you encountered the purest evil during the most crucial years of child hood. I hope you can find love and comfort in someone and live a life of peace
Makes me wanna just pull that child out of the picture and hug her so tight ... no child should ever ever go through anything like that. She’s so strong and an inspiration

@@mememom9293 you need to learn child psychology and sexual abuse survivors psychology if you think posting that story of what she did to that girl is going to change the sympathy we feel for her.
@@mememom9293 Do you feel good after posting that ?
@@HotCheetoGirl_ sympathy for the child that was, not for the monster that is. There are plenty of people who have gone through worse and choose to do the right thing as adults.
@@lizziemiss945 no, sympathy for the child that was and the woman that is because of the child she was. Grow up. Experiences make us who we are. And you calling her a monster also shows you know nothing about child psychology and trauma. There are so many victims who become perpetrators and it's not talked about enough. We just assume they are sick twisted evil people but we never think about their mental health. Y'all love to talk about mental health until it's something you don't like. Mental health applies to everyone.
I LOVE her smile, dimples and all. She is beautiful inside and out from what I can see. God has a special plan for her. I would love to be a friend of hers.
remember my daughter too please.
i quit, im a nobody & i dont trust the courts. im powerless & cant do anything to be sure shes safe
this judge should be put in jail
He knows what she went through and he clearly doesn't give a shit. What would he know about justice?
And she still managed to smile for the camera. What a precious beautiful angel.
*goddess
Not really. She's evil. Ended up just like her parents

I remember hearing about this in the news my own daughter was about her age at the time it all came out. This girl is so strong it's amazing, I suffered the first 19 years of my life with abuse, I was not locked in a closet but, everything else was done to me same as Lauren. Everyday is a real struggle to go on yet Lauren push's on not letting anyone or anything get in her way, it's very inspiring.
I love that she doesn’t give up. She is an inspiration.
Emily Griffin unfortunately she’s in jail now. If you google her it’s the first thing to come up. It shows that some people can never truly escape the trauma :(
Sorry for what you had to go through, can I just say on a positive note you have one of the nicest smiles I've seen on a girl and I can tell you would make a great friend. They have taken enough years from you don't give them any more, wishing you many years of happiness to come ( writing from Ireland , James)
what a beautiful thing to say young man.
You are right what a beautiful smile she has God Bless you Lauren and James you are a special person to see this
James Enright It's true, there are good males on this earth.
I cannot put into words just how much I wish for her happiness in life. She is awe inspiring and I truly look up to her. It's like seeing a person move a mountain.
Silver Amaryllis she has been on the dr Philip show where she takka about How she is now......
She can't say she loves something because she can't allow herself to be vulnerable. Every time she has been vulnerable, horrible people have abused her and taken advantage of her. What a sad story about the impact of abuse and neglect. My heart is breaking for her.
Mine too.
1:37 so he is the judge responsible for her going back to the abuser.
And making excuses that there wasn't enough evidence of abuse. Those pictures and the adoptive parent's explanations weren't enough to at least investigate it??
This judge had the nerve to defend his ruling. Poor child.
He's not the judge
Many might not think about this, but there's judges, politicians and other people with power that are pedophiles and who are sadistic. It's pretty much obvious that these her biological parents abused her and evidence tells as much. Anyone would see this and Not put her back into the hell she was in.
5:28 I feel so bad. Her mom was probably so scared, being so fearful for Lauren. Then let’s her go have fun for the first time, and disaster. That poor girl.
She is such a babydoll! The most precious smile. It kills me that someone would do this to another human. I pray for this sweet angel's recovery. She is beautiful and a survivor .
This girl has been broken in every way possible...the hardest thing I've ever watched
Her parents. Destroyed her so much she doesn't know what love is

I've just heard about Lauren's story a year ago and I'm absolutely heartbroken. Ever since I first saw her Dr. Phil episodes I have NEVER stopped watching these over and over. I'm 20 years old and she is the absolute inspiration to me. I think Lauren is the definition of strong. I suffer depression like Lauren does due to my own mother. I havent been abused but in short story terms my mother doesn't really care about me. Watching Lauren's story is an inspiration to me because she is a depression survivor herself and she continues to strive through, and that to me gives me the reason to be strong in my own depression. So thank you, Lauren.
As for Barbie and Ken, I hope those two experience the feeling of hatred, anger, and hurt. Especially Barbie. I normally am very forgiving and I am civil with everyone, but she is one of those person where if I ever crossed a bridge with her, I would slap her. Such a disgusting human being. If she actually loved Lauren and wanted to be her mother, she would have been the person to show her why fighting to get custody of her was worth it. For her to say that she loved her all along and has done this to her makes it seem to me like she wanted custody of being able to hurt Lauren. And that is even more disgusting.
I have read this story online and somewhere it said either Barbie or her mother had a mental illness. But it is still no excuse for this.
I wish Lauren all the best in life. She really deserves it more than anyone I've ever seen. ❤
Her natural family is sick they all have bad souls for doing that to her. I mean even the relatives that raped her shows their blood line is sick n dark.
Also, some men think that if a girl's already been raped, she can't take it again as she's already 'ruined'. Horrible mentality but that's how rapists think.
It wasn't her "bloodline" at all though that "relative" was Sabrina her ADOPTED mother's niece's husband. The only one from her bloodline that did horrific stuff was Barbie. Kennith wasn't her birth dad he was Barbie's boyfriend and no one really knows who her birth dad is.
Lisa G She was referencing information that was in a different video. Her mother, shown in this video originally adopted her as an infant. Her bio parents took her back as a baby on a technicality w/ the adoption paperwork. They kept her locked in a closet for years, starved her and she was abused and raped by different men including extended relatives. That is the bio bloodline the other poster was referencing. It was talked about in other video, just not this one as it is a part of a series.
@@trueCrimeGuruYes It was her direct maternal bloodline that brought all of the suffering and pain. Her mother's evil was the conduit for all her suffering no matter whose hands are guilty.
@@emveetu3672 The rape when she was 12 was her adopted mother's niece's husband so no blood relation. Kenny also was no blood relation.
This made me cry.
ChristineF1234 Me too. The ending really broke my heart for her. She didn’t experience love in the crucial time of her life and now never will. I hope those bastards that hurt her rot in prison.
Me too.
ChristineF1234 it is so horriabl that they could do this to her
ChristineF1234 I was only 6minutes in and I had to stop watching it. I'm now clutching on to my one year old child
Me too
God wrap your arms around that baby girl an never let her go. In Jesus name Amen!
Why on earth would you allow this child to have any contact with her biological family from hell????
They absolutely ruined her life. What she did was wrong but how can you expect her not to think it wasn’t right? That’s all she knew growing up. The horrible things she went through, shaped and damaged her mental state.
I can't even imagine how strong Lauren has had to be through all this. She is amazingly brave and an example to anyone going through a tough time, because she proves that you can pull through it, such a remarkable and amazing girl
We must remember the loving support and therapy; not all are so lucky. Many just end up being pulled from the home and put into the system. For them, healing is an uphill struggle, usually alone.
even jail is too merciful for these disgusting people
I want to know where they are now! Hopefully being sexually and physically abused in jail
Lawyer and judge need to pay for all of her college. They make enough money and fucking owe her.
Definitely
Its so tragically heart breaking to think how close she had been to growing up in a loving happy family and I’m sure there must be times they wonder what she could have been without that trauma. She is a testament to the strength of human spirit and obviously such a brave resilient soul and thank goodness she has the Kavenaughs.
What a beautiful person made me cry what she’s been through and how wonderful she is You go girl ❤️
Wow... she deserves nothing less than happiness. God bless her.
Dr Phil gave her free psychiatric care, one year apartment for rent free, AND hooked her up with a job and vocational training!!!
+Scranton Travelers wow thats wonderful.
Lord, I lift up this young lady to you for healing, for peace, love and joy that does not depend on her circumstances. I pray that you will show yourself to her in powerful ways at all times and help her to trust you and depend on you for her well being. Hold her in the palm of your hands, heal her with your great Physicians ability. Gather her like a mother hen does her chicks and protect her from the evil in this world. AMEN
I agree in Jesus name Amen..
If your God exists and is all powerful and love,why he would let a baby or anybody go through something so horrible like this??? He chooses to ignore suffering? We are talking about a loving God right? Your God that decides who should be blessed and who should suffer is worthless!!
Polly Potleaf Google what??
Polly Potleaf you are saying this girl deserve what happened to her? Was an honest question, you can't answer it and send me to Google it?I'm not negative,just asking where is your almighty god when something like this happens,I'm glad this girl was rescued ad I hope she does well in life

"it just wasn't there" well clearly it was. This poor girl. She almost had a beautiful life.
Samantha Darling well now this “poor girl” has been charged with sexually abusing a teenage girl and luring other minors in through social media!!
Kaley Alexander vicious cycle. Still terrible she went through all that pain but it doesn't excuse putting others through pain and manipulation as well.
There are two kinds of Judges in Family Court; one who caters to the parents, and one who caters to Children's Services. The way evidence is written can make Demons look like Mother Teresa, and Mother Teresa look like a Demon. Family Court is anything but working; and yet there is no change from 50 years ago! And....Evil prevails on all sides in the Halls of Justice!
I'm so sorry about everything. That's not even strong enough. I wish I could be her friend.
why why WHY did Barbie demand them to give Lauren back...when in court, she said "I never loved Lauren. I never wanted her." She said she never wanted her, so then WHY ON EARTH did she steal her back??

Someone please tell me that that idiotic Judge Markham is no longer on the bench & has been disbarred for complete incompetence!
Lauren is really pretty, especially when she smiles. I'm so sorry she had to go through this. She's very strong.
I want to hug her and tell her that she has a huge purpose in life. That there are people out there that love her and love isn't supposed to hurt. She is lovable and I pray that she really knows what love is someday. Love is never abuse!
This is one of the most harrowing stories I have ever come across. That poor girl, it makes me so angry and sad that she went through this. Just horrible. Good luck with your future Lauren, such a brave soul.

So have charges been filed against Lynn E. Markham? He's the man would was presented with evidence of abuse towards the child, and yet awarded custody of the child back to the abusers. So he's the one who's responsible for all of this. I want to know if he will be punished for what he did here.
he should no longer be a jugde he assumed there wasint gonna be reapted abuse ..and wht happen
You know the answer to that...he should be held accountable in some way.
This is the most devastating story and case I’ve ever come across. God bless that girl and her adoptive parents
I know this is an older "show", but, I just have the need/want to, to tell Lauren just what a cute set of dimples on that beautiful face! I love her smile! I am SO glad she didn't let anyone take that last sparkle in her eyes! I know how hard life has been, but, Sweetie, you MADE IT!! I am so proud of you and your Mom for keeping that sparkle alive and showing those hateful people that you will and DID get back up and now, you can sparkle all you want! You are what heroes are made of! Some may knock you down, but, dang it, you get right back up and show the world you will NOT be anyone's door mat!!

“You just do what you have to do. I did what I had to” 💔 Most heartbreaking statement ever. And despite your horrific abuse and past trauma you manage to find the words of “I told her, just don’t give up on anything” 👏🏼 inspiring.

What an amazing person with a beautiful, genuine smile that gives me butterflies. Thank you for surviving and thriving, I wish you all the happiness in the world.
That poor darling. I work with abused children, and it is truly heartbreaking. I am so happy that she has such wonderful new parents who love and care about her
Really wish her the very very best, she deserves peace and happiness in her life. I hope she gets there
This girls strength is so amazing! She's been through so much and still is a kind and compassionate human being. She sees the world differently and still cares for people around her. Lauren, if you see this, you're so strong and you didn't deserve ANY of the horrible things that happened to you! You have such a beautiful soul, never forget that! You're such a beautiful person all the way around!
I cannot accept how justice failed that much here. they had proof and everything. what the hell was in their fucking minds.
Spyridoula Lamprou - in my divorce, I felt like I was just another number. I had concerns as well... well you can imagine what my concerns were met with - yep, nothing but indifference.
Why is there NO proper JUSTICE in this world?
The Law is made by people and those people that have authority are corrupt themselves. Those that can help wont unfortunatly. The world is a horrible place. Those that have been abused suffer the most not those that abuse. Surely it should be the other way round? so those that are abused are protected and feel safe. We should live in a world where women and babys and those that are vulnerable and innocent feel safe. We live in a world where your only safe if u have money and All u need is Money to live and be happy. Those that have authority have a responsibility. Not the victims.
just one thing I feel I have to express, I admire her strength.. ENORMOUSLY!!!
Prayers for you sweetie... You are the definition of strength!!!
Awwwww she's very beautiful when she smiles and laughs wow
Her adoptive family seem so nice and kind hearted... it breaks my heart that she had to go back there it like hell
