The rumors that they said about the girl hitting sibling and destroying things was a lie, the only reason they brought her to that therapy was because they never said "mom," and "dad,". I did my research, they let a child die because of that.. sad. That's what really connects to what Patt said "forced love,", the reason the girl died.
I also did a little bit of digging, and the therapists were named Julie and Watkins Ponder. They claimed that they didn’t think that her protests were literal and that they thought it was philosophical. Absolutely disgusting.
the amount of pain and anger in matpat's voice when he's talking about candice really almost made me cry, because it's so clear he actually felt something about this story.
It breaks my heart to know that the last words that child hear was "Quitter". Candace was not a quitter she was not a baby, she was a strong fighter and may she rest in peace.
7 Years is disgusting. I wish that EVERYBODY involved in that got life in prison. They are calling her a "quitter" as they are killing her. Thats the last thing she hears. That breaks my heart.
@@Thestormthatisapproaching5 I honestly wish the punishment for crimes was an eye for an eye like if a women was tortured and killed the same would happen to the offender imagine if all of them had to go through the same thing the child had to.
@@457gaming9 i aint the right person to talk to bout this i tried tho ‘^’ Every child deserves to have the care, love, and attention from their guardian cuz like thats how to raise a child right ya know But not every adult could handle those responsibilities for taking care of a child and raising them, so they’ll neglect them or abuse them ok but like im not even an adult yet sooooooooooo
The rage in Mat's voice really got me. at this point in my life I'm used to hearing about awful things, but we all know Matpat was fighting back tears and rage as he read the transcript. It just really got me and surprised me
See I've watched this video at least maybe 10 times within the last 3 years and every single time it makes me think that I was born two years after this happened had I been born before 2000, I could have known this little girl. And it breaks my heart.
the part that confused me was.. the therapist say they want Candice to do something to get birth out of the fake womb.. yet Candice DID to the point she cried trying.. why they still sitting on her? even told her to die? whats the point of the "rebirth"? does they really just want to murder a child using foreplay?
the therapists wanted forceful love from poor little Candice so they tortured her to try and mentally break her and when she gave up they ended her life
What hurts me is that Jeane, Candace's “Mother” was a nurse. She of all people should have known that the torture Candace endured was dangerous, deadly in her case. I can only imagine what would’ve happened to her if Jeane showed as much neglect towards her patients as she did Candace. People like the therapists and Jeane are why prison exists. Truly abhorrent.
@@elijahmade609 The fact that you're making a joke out of the poor girls name,is just disgusting. How could you make such an evilish joke about the poor girl? I have no words.
It gets worse when you remember that 5 consenting adults agreed to this. These individuals were in the MEDICAL FIELD. THESE 5 ADULTS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD PERSISTED FOR OVER AN HOUR ON A GIRL THAT WASN'T EVEN 11 YET. This should never have happened and if all was right in the world, they'd all have their medical licenses revoked, they would be serving life sentences without bail and parole, and they would be ostracised and alienated in the public eye. That is not just murder, that is FIRST DEGREE MURDER, these people knew what they were doing could cause asphyxiation, and they held the position for 80 minutes. First degree murder on its own is at least 25 years without parole. This was torture, and there are security cams and even a transcript to prove it. This is a true situation where the legal system failed.
what i meant to say was, it baffles me how someone in the med field or another human at that could just watch or participate...like when you're a med professional your sole focus, your purpose above ALL else is to prevent harm and heal ...preservation...if someone who made racist comments at me injured themselves or became unconscious, i would do my best to heal them like anyone else. That is the "code" of how the medical person SHOULD be...these people have done shady things in the past together...it makes no sense
The scariest part is we are talking about a REPORTED case. Imagine how many children are suffering or suffered yet no one will ever hear their echoes, for they have faded out.
Coming back to this theory after Matpat announced he’d be leaving, and I really hope that this series gets picked up again at some point. This is definitely one of the most memorable theories of his to me, maybe because of how disturbing it is, that’s it’s based on a true story, that i’ve never seen anything quite like Petscops, or that this series went unfinished. I never fully understood everything in the later theories of this series, but I hold it close to my heart nonetheless. Well, if nothing else, thank you for bringing Petscops to my attention and the first place, and for making these memories for me in the first place.
well, if you want just a last part of this case “Forty minutes into the session, Candace was asked if she wanted to be reborn. She faintly responded "no"; this would ultimately be her last word..” this was on the wiki
@@scenecorefairy Ig that's y everyones calling her a fighter.. she didnt give up on wanting to be herself... She didn't want to be reborn under a horrible monster of what a so called "mother"
Hearing Candace's story made me extremely mad and disgusted, the fact that someone can do the to a child is absolutely disgusting and they deserve life in prison not just 16 years. Rest in peace Candace, she wasn't a "quitter", she fought and tried to hold on but couldn't, rest in peace sweet girl and you deserve more justice then what you were given.
I hate that they called her a quitter. She was a child, she was 10 years old & confused. A child, someone who is new to the world & still needed guidance. RIP Candace. The justice system failed her, I wish the ones who killed her die knowing they killed an innocent child.
@@ChupeTTe why did they give them just jail though they should put them,in a guillotine like the old times like that queen lady from alice in wonderland said "OFF WITH THEIR HEAD"
16 years for killing a child that couldn't even live until she herself was 16 years old? That's disgusting. Those people who literally tortured a child should have had a life sentence, spending their lives in a dark, dirty prison for taking away another's life. They should have been in prison longer, so that they could reflect on their horrifying actions. Instead they are free to torture more innocent children.
They thought it would work... and that unfortunately puts them in a grey area. THEY WERENT EVEN LICENSED!!! REBIRTHING ISNT EVEN PRACTICED BY THERAPISTS OR PSYCHIATRISTS!! There’s actually some information left out in the initial story. Candice was asked, “do you won’t to be rebirthed?” She faintly answered “no” Her adoptive mother, feeling rejected by this, was told to leave the room, “therapists” fearing that Candice would sense her sorrow. That’s when the therapists called her a quitter. I think the vomit and excretion should have been the let up. Its usually only supposed to be a breathing exercise... But it was apparently a two week process... gosh my heart hurts so much A lot of them plead guilty.. which doesn’t make me feel better, just less angry at the adoptive mother and the people that didn’t literally taunt her to die
I don't know you, but that doesn't matter. I still love you regardless. I am here for you whenever. You are beautiful, you are important and you are loved. I hope you are hydrated and you have eaten enough. Enjoy your day/night! LOVE FOR YOU!
Those people make me sick... I almost threw up hearing what these people did to that young girl! I can't imagine what she felt like, those adults were insane.

Good god, you are literally a child, if I was your parent I would’ve sent you back to school to learn some actual manners and to take a class on How To Be A Bearable Human Being 101. Oh wait, you obviously never took it because no one wants you here. Get out before someone thinks to put your head back into the waffle iron it looks like it came out of.
"Be warned, this episode gets intense" *happy music starts playing* Also, I just want to add that Candace was not a quitter, her adoptive mother was for giving up on candace to something that horrific
It enrages me how little the murderers got sentenced. These twerps ended a small child's life and got a sentence nowhere near the the cost of their actions. A child is dead and they have the blood on their hands yet they still roam this world carefree. I am sickened beyond belief.
Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure in prison the other inmates beat them up. There was a story on the news where a man killed a pedophile because he wanted to try and make up for doing a few bad things. Even if some of the inmates are bad, they probably have some goodwill/humanity left in them.
When Matpat a man that joked about child slaughter and posested killer robots actually warned us in the beginning of the video u know it's gonna be scary
@@puzzled-head3493 exactly what I was going to say. You can tell the cruelest, most f**ed up story you want as long as it's fictional, but if it's real and even a tenth of the depravity of that other story... It absolutely hits different. Knowing something is fake takes a load off your shoulders and allows you to enjoy the weird and twisted tale. Once you find out that it's actually a real event makes you second guess your entire morality and sense of humor.
When a guy who jokes about stories of dead children & psycho killers starts to say ``this is gonna be a serious, actually tragic incident about a IRL child`s death done in one of the worst ways possible, and I`ll be narrating it so we can understand today`s theory, but this isn`t funny, no jokes on dead children for today pls`` you know stuff is gonna go tragic & serious for REAL
The story of what happened to that poor girl when she was already suffering is truly heartbreaking. Everyone who was part of that awful 'Therapy' should rot in prison for taking that girl's life away.
That's the happy ending because of what I researched on "psychopathic child" Beth Thomas was cured by intense behavioral intervention and she's a happy adult otherwise she would be a sociopath like person but before anyone gets mad at me what I know about the causes of Sociopathy tends to be a psychological defense mechanism caused by traumatic events I could be wrong but that's what I know
@@simonpetrikov3992 holding therapy is still incredibly inhumane. Psychologists treat human disorders, not dog’s bad behaviour. In any situation where the patient’s life is at risk you shouldn’t be doing it. There’s other ways.
Candace wasn't a quitter, she was a fighter. Edit: I'm so angry and disgusted that someone killed a child. A HUMAN CHILD, is dead.. AND NO ONE TRIED TO SAVE HER. I'M SO ANGRY!!
the thing that really gets me with this video is that matpat kept a quiet and polite tone throughout the video only really occasionally raising his voice to emphasize things which is different from his usual loud and energetic voice. its weird because normally there would be jokes here and there but this video just was quiet and dark which i feel like really makes the whole entire story of this game and everything just a little bit more disturbing than it already is.
I was adopted when I was young and after hearing this, I feel very blessed with the family I have. My mother gave me the time I needed to trust her. I couldn't have asked for a better mother.
Im honestly of the mind that she was never actually meant to make it out, and that the trauma/bullying was the true intention of what they were doing. Some sort of twisted "putting an uppity child in her place," type thing. And that they hid behind the loe theyd told Candace about "coming out of the blanket," to avoid manslaughter/murder charges
5 years later, Candace's story still puts me on the brink of tears. And, clearly hearing the anger in Mat's voice makes it even worse. I don't believe anyone deserves to be in pain but, those "Therapists" deserve to suffer the same way Candace did.
i came back just to see if it was real but i cant bring myself to watch it again. im 16 now and this deeply scarred me at 10. i still remember the story.
This makes me sick, people “fixing a child” like they now things and straight up kills a child that has felt nothing but pain. This is a hard story for anybody, and story’s like this need to be heard. I have family that have felt this sort of pain and I can’t even imagine what it would have felt like. Matpat knew people should hear this. And thank you for spreading this message. Children are not dogs, and aren’t to be treated like such. To hell with these people. And honestly I think they should have made the sentence for life. Also, to the children that never felt love, but surely deserved it. For the world, never truly deserved you..
As a child of adoption I too started out feeling detached from my new mother and father. Honestly for me it was a case of abandonment anxiety, if I got too close what if they were going to leave me like my biological mother and the staff at the orphanage did? It’s scary that someone could think that “attachment” therapy like the one displayed in this video is the correct answer. I had a hard time getting attached to my parents, when I was adopted at age 6 but now, 14 years later, with a lot of love, care and support from my parents and my adoptive sister, it’s going much better. What Newmaker was experiencing may have been something similar to me, I too lashed out against my peers and my parents because i didn’t want to get attached and it was “easier” to just push them away
kinda same thing with me I didn't really know what it was about and what could've happened if i didnt get the parent i have now :my moms nice so there's no problems at all: but thinking about people that i could have gotten that would hurt me just like what happened to my brother :also adopted: would scar me so honestly love who you have and dont hope for any other parent cus who you have now is special
One of my friends and my sisters were adopted as well. My friend has a lot of history to her, and she's a very tough person with a hard exterior. But inside she's quite a kind person. God bless you, and every child who will be adopted, or is adopted 💕
It took me a minute to register that the stuff in that story was real, and not just part of the lore of this game. Humans truly are among the most vile creations of nature.
they are. sure dolphins or otters "sniff/grape" their kids/relatives/dead bodies, but so do humans. we do so much worse. if i were thanos i would snap twice. i don't care if i die.
It’s horrifying, I can’t even imagine the amount of terror that little girl experienced as she slowly suffocated to death. It’s one of the most painful ways to die. Those people don’t deserve to even exist in this world, and the fact that they got out of jail after only 7 measly years is unbelievable to me. They got to keep their lives while Candace is gone.
@@gothicMCRgirl i know one of my cousins almost suffocated to death from a accident after a joke went wrong he said his body wanted to but he knew couldn't do it much and he freaked out leading to him breathing more lowering his air supply more and more by the time his parents came home he had been unconcious for more than thirty minutes. Doctors said he was lucky to be alive no less have no kind of brain damage
*Girl licks ice cream and puts it back in the freezer* Government: AHHHHH 40+ YEARS AND GUARD THE FREEZERS!!!! THIS IS AN AVENGER LEVEL THREAT!!!!!!!!!!
5 years later, this story is still one that is one of the most horrific I've ever heard. This is, without a doubt, the darkest episode of Game Theory to date. Petscop is cool n' all and I'm glad it's doing well, but the story of Candice cannot be understated. It's revolting to hear her story, and I know I'm not the first to say it, but those "therapists" deserved more than 16 years. There was no excuse for torturing a *ten-year-old, traumatized child.*
If the parents were abusive, Then all the children would be 'rescued'. It wouldn't make sense if only Candace was 'Saved', As her siblings would still be threatened and endangered. *(Sorry, I had to clarify)*
Suffocating is such an awful way to go. My heart hurts for Candice, such a sweet girl who deserved so much more than what she was given, shes not a quitter she's a fighter, rip candice 💔
candice was trumatised when she got taken away from her birth home,even more so to be subjected to such horrors before her death.she deserves more,poor girl never lived the life she deserved
Same here as well. These two game theories are really creepy and a bit out of the usual videos. Now this video is recommending me another dark game theory video. Maybe that one will give me nightmares.
Mousy The meme star I should have believed him. I watch horror movies and play horror games all the time but I'm actually shaking now. I should have listened. I really should have listened....
saddest lines in my opinion: “quitter, quitter QUITTER QUIT QUIT QUIT, she’s a quitter” “Candace begins to cry out she’s dying, still no response” “You want me to die for real?!? Die right now and go to heaven!” “Go ahead and die right now! For real. For real.” “It’s her own life! She’s a quitter! QUITTER QUITTER QUIT QUIT QUIT QUITTER! She’s a quitter this baby doesn’t want to live she’s a quitter!” “Let’s talk to the twerp” “Oh there she is *sleeping* in her vomit” Candace wasn’t a *quitter* she was a *fighter*
I think we all understand that she was a fighter so for a few seconds can we appreciate the documentary about this or are we just going to be all sappy about someone who is already dead I'm gonna get cancelled just for that..
she was such a good fighter. she didn’t deserve any of that. she was only ten. she was only a few years younger than me. she was so strong, and she was such a good fighter.
It's sad but it's human nature. Humans are violent and selfish, they want it there way and will not stop even if it comes to death, there's evidence for this soaked in human history, it's the reason wars and terrorist exist, sadly there's no way to stop this, it's simply human biology.
My best friend once asked me if there's a place beyond Hell If there is that's where those therapists belong They deserve to rot there Rest In Peace Candace
When he said, “Can be returned if it’s defective.” I started crying. My sister has downsyndrome, and if we’re thinking by that logic, she would be returned. I never want to lose my sister no matter what.
Sägemehl They taunted her, tortured her to death and it was all on purpose since they freaking KNEW what they were doing, it wasn’t an accident. They knew what they had done. How could someone be so cruel
@@SaleenSundria one of them literally says "Go ahead and die right now. For real." It could be argued that at that point they did intend to kill her. In the sense of 'if you can't do it you might as well just die'.
This is messed up. She was just little girl. They took her life just because she was scared. At least we know that people care. That people knows she's a fighter.
I watched this theory when it came out 6 years ago. Watching it again six years later, after every other theory he’s released that have been dark and sad. This one still remains the darkest and the saddest I think they’ve ever written. RIP Candice ❤️🕊️
Superzon Studios before I even write my reply I just want to say I’m not pretending to be tough I’m just saying, this made me feel sick that is disgusting and I almost cried and I DONT EVER CRY
Actually same, I don't cry very often. I mean I'm seen as very heartless. And I was disgusted. What those therapists did is disgusting and awful. It should never happen. I almost cried
The story begins at 4:22 and ends at 8:15 That’s messed up literally gave her no way to get out of the blanket and dare to call her a quitter they should have gotten a more drastic punishment
@@sharplily i think they deserved to live cuz they need to suffer and feel the guilt that tears them apart inside. Death is so peaceful...they dont get that
Ponder told her to scream, and in response, Candices last words were "no." Thoes people are beyond evil. I hope with everything that that little girl is in peace.
What a sickening sadistic thing to say to the child you’re killing. She wanted to hear Candace in pain and wanted to hear her dying. I hope Candace is resting in peace.
@@wowimstillalive5878 yeh these therapist need to be reminded everyday that they are monster. They should be mentally be broken by telling them about this case everyday for the rest of their life so they will never rest without being reminded of that
What a spine chillin story, im glad petcop brought this to the publics attention. It’s a horrible thing what those therapists did to a helpless child. Worst part is, the mom was a nurse
There used to be a long story about my ex here, but we've separated and gone our own ways. I no longer am okay with sharing his story anymore. He's now engaged and has a kid with his future husband. It's not my place to tell his story. It never was. Thank you. 9/24/18-9/?/21 Good bye liam.
He's got the support of at least a hundred and five people, there's very likely to be more than that, possibly thousands, so yeah, we hope he gets through this
That story *and I’m sorry for my language* is f***ing disgusting I’m just disturbed by how horrible the “therapists” were by not letting her out for 70 f***ing minutes, I’m just.... horrified by this story, they should’ve got life for killing a child
That's terrifying, and even messing around when ur friend puts a pillow on ur head for too long is scary, being sat on with no weigh out? That's a pure nightmare. I wish the therapists would rot in prison and hopefully suffer more than candice. Death isn't enough because its considered an escape. They deserve to be in pain in jail for the rest of their lives.

Oh hun, there's abusers and awful parents who get away with so much. CPS is relatively powerless as well, and the fact that they haven't changed anything tells me that people are so careless that they'd rather protect their job and status quo than help change the system to save dying children in our own suburban and ghetto areas. C00L
I just went and read the wiki and will now no longer be able to sleep at night knowing that an 10 year old was suffocated to death by a therapist who told her to die
As an adopted person I honestly don't know what to say about this, this disgusting, horrific, story just makes me sick. Sick to the point I want to cry
Fellow adopted person here. This story made me feel sick too. Especially when he read out the statistics for adopted kids being "returned". Since at 16 that is what my adoptive mom threatened to do because I said I wanted to live with my friend in a journal entry I wrote while upset & feeling as if I was being unfairly targeted by her (which turned out to be very true. I'm 22 and to this day she still treats me more harshly than she does my younger brother, despite the fact that he never contacts her unless she contacts him, and I at least text and call every so often when I can.)
Jeffery sweezy I thought it wouldn’t be THAT bad the first time I watched this, but I started having nightmares and was too scared to even use blankets anymore during the winter lmao
i cannot BELIEVE how these "therapists" abused a innocent child to death, that makes me sick. it's so messed up and they should've gotten life in jail.
@@NoahmassMulti Execution? No no no, that would be the easy way out. Them rotting in jail is better. Having the rest of their lives spent in misery. Those sick fuckos deserve to suffer and executing them will only free them of that pain.
War Experience yes it makes me angry to know that this little girl suffered and died because of those assholes that are supposed to help people and I was the same age that I am back then I would have hurt them so bad but this happened in April 2000 and I wasn’t born yet I was born in may 2000
This is unacceptable, I can't believe somebody would actually do such violent actions towards a disturbed child, and who can blame her? She was abused, this is disgusting.
Ok. But where's the actual comment? You're just saying what everyone else is saying. The incident isn't even relevant anyway. Yes, it was disgusting, but just post actual comments.
@@koolboi6610 the incident was really relevant to this theory, actually. The whole theory surrounds her death, as MatPat at the time believed it was a retelling of her death, and the lives of orphan children.
Something I'm wondering is just how the "therapists" thought that would work as a form of "rebirthing". Because when a pregnant woman goes into labour they help the newborn be well, born. But the "therapists" didn't at all let the mother help instead making the "baby" get out on their own causing the death of Candice Newmaker. Also, Only 16 years and then only serving 7.
I think it is more if Candice survived, she would have to be grateful that there is someone who is willing to take her. The forced love comes into play. The “therapists” probably would have banked on Stockholm Syndrome to take place.
Why only sixteen years? They killed a girl. She begged them to stop. And they kept on killing her. Yes, it made me sad, and horrified that something like that could happen to anyone. But more than anything, it pissed me off. No one should be seen that way, as "something" that is "defective", and needs to be "fixed". And the way they did it... The complete and utter disregard for her life... I cannot say I want them to die for their crimes. If I was the judge and I sentenced them to death I could never forgive myself. But they need to go away for life with no chance of early release. Sorry if this seemed harsh, for whatever reason you may have, but that is what I feel about this situation. I am also sorry for the language used. "Ticked" would not have portrayed the anger I felt.
@@danielcalix831 It gets worse. Watkins, the person who was the one who encouraged this therapy later tried to appeal the 16 year sentence, of which she would only go on to serve 7 before being awarded parole. They got a 16 year sentence for murderring a child and tried to APPEAL it to have it lowered! In other words, they thought that a 16 year sentence for murderring a child was too damn severe!
I'm not trying to make light of this tragedy, obviously there was severe negligence, but from what I could find on the matter it doesn't look like there was malicious intent on the part of the therapists. At the time this happened child psychology was still leaps and bounds away from the knowledge we have today, and a decent portion of reputable academics from that time believed that issues in young children stemming from severe trauma could only be helped by an equally traumatizing, albeit controlled, treatment. The therapists were genuinely doing what they thought was best to heal the girl and even though they were not vigilant in their safety protocol, at no point were they intending to harm her.
Nobody ever seems concerned with MatPat animating and voice acting the death of a real child in this video, despite how well-known and popular this video was.
(I honestly doubt they watched this with their child. they most likely went over to their daughter and wrapped her in a hug far from the screen.. At least I hope they did.)
hey jazzyena i think you might be onto something. abbrivihations and stuff are really common on gravestones for longer Surnames[lastnames] so in theory you are absolutely right
The rumors that they said about the girl hitting sibling and destroying things was a lie, the only reason they brought her to that therapy was because they never said "mom," and "dad,". I did my research, they let a child die because of that.. sad. That's what really connects to what Patt said "forced love,", the reason the girl died.

the part that confused me was.. the therapist say they want Candice to do something to get birth out of the fake womb.. yet Candice DID to the point she cried trying.. why they still sitting on her? even told her to die? whats the point of the "rebirth"? does they really just want to murder a child using foreplay?

@@elijahmade609 The fact that you're making a joke out of the poor girls name,is just disgusting. How could you make such an evilish joke about the poor girl? I have no words.
It gets worse when you remember that 5 consenting adults agreed to this. These individuals were in the MEDICAL FIELD. THESE 5 ADULTS IN THE MEDICAL FIELD PERSISTED FOR OVER AN HOUR ON A GIRL THAT WASN'T EVEN 11 YET. This should never have happened and if all was right in the world, they'd all have their medical licenses revoked, they would be serving life sentences without bail and parole, and they would be ostracised and alienated in the public eye. That is not just murder, that is FIRST DEGREE MURDER, these people knew what they were doing could cause asphyxiation, and they held the position for 80 minutes. First degree murder on its own is at least 25 years without parole. This was torture, and there are security cams and even a transcript to prove it. This is a true situation where the legal system failed.

Coming back to this theory after Matpat announced he’d be leaving, and I really hope that this series gets picked up again at some point. This is definitely one of the most memorable theories of his to me, maybe because of how disturbing it is, that’s it’s based on a true story, that i’ve never seen anything quite like Petscops, or that this series went unfinished. I never fully understood everything in the later theories of this series, but I hold it close to my heart nonetheless.

16 years for killing a child that couldn't even live until she herself was 16 years old? That's disgusting. Those people who literally tortured a child should have had a life sentence, spending their lives in a dark, dirty prison for taking away another's life. They should have been in prison longer, so that they could reflect on their horrifying actions. Instead they are free to torture more innocent children.
Worst part is that they only did 7 of the 16 years!
They thought it would work... and that unfortunately puts them in a grey area.
THEY WERENT EVEN LICENSED!!!
REBIRTHING ISNT EVEN PRACTICED BY THERAPISTS OR PSYCHIATRISTS!!
There’s actually some information left out in the initial story.
Candice was asked, “do you won’t to be rebirthed?”
She faintly answered “no”
Her adoptive mother, feeling rejected by this, was told to leave the room, “therapists” fearing that Candice would sense her sorrow.
That’s when the therapists called her a quitter.
I think the vomit and excretion should have been the let up. Its usually only supposed to be a breathing exercise... But it was apparently a two week process... gosh my heart hurts so much
A lot of them plead guilty.. which doesn’t make me feel better, just less angry at the adoptive mother and the people that didn’t literally taunt her to die

It enrages me how little the murderers got sentenced. These twerps ended a small child's life and got a sentence nowhere near the the cost of their actions. A child is dead and they have the blood on their hands yet they still roam this world carefree. I am sickened beyond belief.
they prolly dont even have remorse

Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure in prison the other inmates beat them up. There was a story on the news where a man killed a pedophile because he wanted to try and make up for doing a few bad things.
Even if some of the inmates are bad, they probably have some goodwill/humanity left in them.

Knowing something is fake takes a load off your shoulders and allows you to enjoy the weird and twisted tale. Once you find out that it's actually a real event makes you second guess your entire morality and sense of humor.

I had a hard time getting attached to my parents, when I was adopted at age 6 but now, 14 years later, with a lot of love, care and support from my parents and my adoptive sister, it’s going much better.

I watched this theory when it came out 6 years ago. Watching it again six years later, after every other theory he’s released that have been dark and sad. This one still remains the darkest and the saddest I think they’ve ever written. RIP Candice ❤️🕊️
Fr
christ, even 3 years after the video's released it still hits hard...
rest in peace, candice, you never deserved what happened to you...
* gets 16 years for killing a child *
*thomas had seen enough bullshit*
yeah well she got out in seven sooo...more bullshit on top of that?
Yeah you right
Should be a life sentence! Killing somebody is bad enough but a child?!
lol
They should've had a death sentence or at least a life sentence those crazy maniacs could still be here today
Imagine being taken from an abusive home to ensure her safety and then getting killed in the watch of your adopted parent. Truly horrifying
In all honesty, I thought I would be fine, but after the Newmaker story I was legitimately shaking.
Matpat: disclaimer
Me: CaN't Be ThAt BaD
Me later: Starts to cry ( ligit no joke made me feel horrible).
Superzon Studios before I even write my reply I just want to say I’m not pretending to be tough I’m just saying, this made me feel sick that is disgusting and I almost cried and I DONT EVER CRY
Actually same, I don't cry very often. I mean I'm seen as very heartless. And I was disgusted. What those therapists did is disgusting and awful. It should never happen. I almost cried
Percy Jackson yeah I was imagining like if this was me or one of my siblings, like how could they do that this makes me so mad, angry, and sad
''ligit'' made me cry
It’s ok to cry though, just remember that so many people are still praying for her 😔
The story begins at 4:22 and ends at 8:15
That’s messed up literally gave her no way to get out of the blanket and dare to call her a quitter they should have gotten a more drastic punishment
they should have gotten death in my opinion
LUDELGAMER 1234 true
@@sharplily i think they deserved to live cuz they need to suffer and feel the guilt that tears them apart inside. Death is so peaceful...they dont get that
I watched it and now ima jhonn wick on them people who do that
They should've gotten gutted and tortured for what they did
Ponder told her to scream, and in response, Candices last words were "no." Thoes people are beyond evil. I hope with everything that that little girl is in peace.
What a sickening sadistic thing to say to the child you’re killing. She wanted to hear Candace in pain and wanted to hear her dying. I hope Candace is resting in peace.
I hope she's a ghost and going to torment those therapists!
@@wowimstillalive5878 yeh these therapist need to be reminded everyday that they are monster. They should be mentally be broken by telling them about this case everyday for the rest of their life so they will never rest without being reminded of that
What a spine chillin story, im glad petcop brought this to the publics attention. It’s a horrible thing what those therapists did to a helpless child. Worst part is, the mom was a nurse
There used to be a long story about my ex here, but we've separated and gone our own ways. I no longer am okay with sharing his story anymore.
He's now engaged and has a kid with his future husband. It's not my place to tell his story. It never was.
Thank you.

Good bye liam.
Tell him he's got our support
Man, that's messed up.
He's got the support of at least a hundred and five people, there's very likely to be more than that, possibly thousands, so yeah, we hope he gets through this
That's terrible :(
Please give him the support of 100 people together, and consider to share a bit with a few others :)
i feel really bad for him..
That story *and I’m sorry for my language* is f***ing disgusting I’m just disturbed by how horrible the “therapists” were by not letting her out for 70 f***ing minutes, I’m just.... horrified by this story, they should’ve got life for killing a child
Exactly!!!! They were actually *torturing* her!! It’s horrible!! Thank you for blocking out the swears hehe
That's terrifying, and even messing around when ur friend puts a pillow on ur head for too long is scary, being sat on with no weigh out? That's a pure nightmare. I wish the therapists would rot in prison and hopefully suffer more than candice. Death isn't enough because its considered an escape. They deserve to be in pain in jail for the rest of their lives.
Charlotte Bruce yeah I was watching this and I’m like how the f**k could the do that this makes me so say, angry, everybody in that room should’ve got electric chair
Slow and painful death goes to therapists
@@se7en.sixtwo they should experience hanging just like they simulated "rebirth" but for exactly 70 minutes and whispering in their ear "murderer,murderer,your just a murderer" sorry if this got too dark
and I thought U.S. was very strict about child abuse but only 16 years of sentence WHAT?
Oh hun, there's abusers and awful parents who get away with so much. CPS is relatively powerless as well, and the fact that they haven't changed anything tells me that people are so careless that they'd rather protect their job and status quo than help change the system to save dying children in our own suburban and ghetto areas. C00L
It was at best manslaughter. Youre not going to get 20+ years from that.
They only served 7 years
I liked to give these child abusers capital punishment.
IKR
I just went and read the wiki and will now no longer be able to sleep at night knowing that an 10 year old was suffocated to death by a therapist who told her to die
When they talked about Candace’s death... I felt I was suffocating myself..
I slapped myself in the face cried because of this
Yeah its freaky
same
i almost threw up my ramen, it was so disgusting.
Nice pfp my dude.
As an adopted person I honestly don't know what to say about this, this disgusting, horrific, story just makes me sick. Sick to the point I want to cry
It all Wants us to cry,your not alone.
@@ohnono1244 AND THEY ONLY GOT 16 YEARS!!!!!! FOR IT
Fellow adopted person here. This story made me feel sick too. Especially when he read out the statistics for adopted kids being "returned". Since at 16 that is what my adoptive mom threatened to do because I said I wanted to live with my friend in a journal entry I wrote while upset & feeling as if I was being unfairly targeted by her (which turned out to be very true. I'm 22 and to this day she still treats me more harshly than she does my younger brother, despite the fact that he never contacts her unless she contacts him, and I at least text and call every so often when I can.)
@@max-UH-million It said 16 years but in reality they got out, only spending 7. Which makes it worse
I know it's been 2 months but do you need a hug?
2017: watches normally
2018: watches in theater mode.
2019:Well boys we're going full screen
Jeffery sweezy I thought it wouldn’t be THAT bad the first time I watched this, but I started having nightmares and was too scared to even use blankets anymore during the winter lmao
for me i don't think anything is scary about this... its more like disturbing for me.
Also 2019: well I'm gonna watch it on TV at 3:00 am with lights off

She wasn't a quitter. She just wouldn't play their sick game. She couldn't, her spirit was too strong.
i cannot BELIEVE how these "therapists" abused a innocent child to death, that makes me sick. it's so messed up and they should've gotten life in jail.
Execution
Even
@@NoahmassMulti Execution? No no no, that would be the easy way out. Them rotting in jail is better. Having the rest of their lives spent in misery. Those sick fuckos deserve to suffer and executing them will only free them of that pain.
Agreed
No
The "therapists" should have gotten the electric chair
Lola Langford so called “therapists” should be sent to extreme hard labor prison for 99 years and should be shot
War Experience yes it makes me angry to know that this little girl suffered and died because of those assholes that are supposed to help people and I was the same age that I am back then I would have hurt them so bad but this happened in April 2000 and I wasn’t born yet I was born in may 2000
They tortured a little girl.
Lola Langford agreed not to mention she already had a rough childhood
They should've suffered just like the little girl did and died just as painfully.
Mat: viewer discretion is advised
Me: it’s probably not that bad
*later*
Me: . . . Mistakes were made
That was me to
Me too when this first came out i thought oh it going to be a fnaf like game... But I was completely wrong.
I'm doing that now
I hope those people burn in hell, for doing that to that girl
TOTALLY
When Matt says quitter you can hear how angry he got
Can we just have a moment, a quiet moment to have peace for Candace. ♥︎
.
Sometimes monsters are not under our beds and in our closets
i hope those therapist will die painfully
may she rest in peace
🤐
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
Paul: That's a dead kid.
I mean, he’s not wrong....
wait...this happened in 2000...THIS THERAPY SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY THO!

@@thebox4503 you're*
The pure anger in matthews voice when he was reading the transcript, i felt it.
Going back to this theory after 2 years, I really feel this is the saddest and darkest theory in the channel
Same and indeed ;-;
yeah...
Coming back to this I forgot how horrible it was. Know I kinda wish I didn't.
I don’t even dare to watch this but I might
I watched this video a year ago and coming back and re-watching it I damn near threw up
This is unacceptable, I can't believe somebody would actually do such violent actions towards a disturbed child, and who can blame her? She was abused, this is disgusting.
Ok. But where's the actual comment? You're just saying what everyone else is saying. The incident isn't even relevant anyway. Yes, it was disgusting, but just post actual comments.
@@koolboi6610 so?? People can comment what ever they want.
@@koolboi6610 Opinions don't have to be unique to be perfectly valid and worth expressing. In your own words, yeesh, calm down.
@@koolboi6610 the incident was really relevant to this theory, actually. The whole theory surrounds her death, as MatPat at the time believed it was a retelling of her death, and the lives of orphan children.
She didn't deserve this fate, nobody does
C'mon, scroll back on up there, soldier.
I can watch the video and scroll through comments
you gave me the confidence to watch this video
@@hrnyancat don't make me come down there
@TheFandomMaster27 69 c'mon, I'll hold your hand
gr.A_mAze *keeps running down the comments and away from the video* AAAAAAAAAA
This reminds me of this quote
Every child deserves a parent
Not every parent deserves a child
Quitter huh? She fought for almost an hour and quitter!? Those 16 years should be spent on them experiencing the same thing they did to her
YES TRUUUUUUU
YES TRUUUUUUU
All the adults in that room should have been tortured and experimented on to make new cures and medications.
@@tyddlup You're actually right
My mistakes
Something I'm wondering is just how the "therapists" thought that would work as a form of "rebirthing". Because when a pregnant woman goes into labour they help the newborn be well, born. But the "therapists" didn't at all let the mother help instead making the "baby" get out on their own causing the death of Candice Newmaker. Also, Only 16 years and then only serving 7.
I mean idk anything about the situation but the way Matt worded it sounds like they died in prison
I think it is more if Candice survived, she would have to be grateful that there is someone who is willing to take her. The forced love comes into play. The “therapists” probably would have banked on Stockholm Syndrome to take place.
@Lamda2 • 15 years ago isn't that a crime too? so murder and fraud got them 16 years
"reckless child abuse" I guess that's why they thought it would work, because they never thought it would, even their wordings they were kinda mean
Why only sixteen years? They killed a girl. She begged them to stop. And they kept on killing her. Yes, it made me sad, and horrified that something like that could happen to anyone. But more than anything, it pissed me off. No one should be seen that way, as "something" that is "defective", and needs to be "fixed". And the way they did it... The complete and utter disregard for her life... I cannot say I want them to die for their crimes. If I was the judge and I sentenced them to death I could never forgive myself. But they need to go away for life with no chance of early release. Sorry if this seemed harsh, for whatever reason you may have, but that is what I feel about this situation. I am also sorry for the language used. "Ticked" would not have portrayed the anger I felt.
Celeste Woodworth Honestly I couldn’t have said it better.
Thumbs up on you boi
I wouldve kill them myself
@@danielcalix831 It gets worse. Watkins, the person who was the one who encouraged this therapy later tried to appeal the 16 year sentence, of which she would only go on to serve 7 before being awarded parole. They got a 16 year sentence for murderring a child and tried to APPEAL it to have it lowered! In other words, they thought that a 16 year sentence for murderring a child was too damn severe!
I'm not trying to make light of this tragedy, obviously there was severe negligence, but from what I could find on the matter it doesn't look like there was malicious intent on the part of the therapists. At the time this happened child psychology was still leaps and bounds away from the knowledge we have today, and a decent portion of reputable academics from that time believed that issues in young children stemming from severe trauma could only be helped by an equally traumatizing, albeit controlled, treatment. The therapists were genuinely doing what they thought was best to heal the girl and even though they were not vigilant in their safety protocol, at no point were they intending to harm her.
Nobody ever seems concerned with MatPat animating and voice acting the death of a real child in this video, despite how well-known and popular this video was.
I’m currently crying hugging my 1 year old daughter...
This was horrendous
don't watch this stuff with ur 1yo please. kids, even babies, see and take in everything around them.. for better or for worse
(I honestly doubt they watched this with their child. they most likely went over to their daughter and wrapped her in a hug far from the screen.. At least I hope they did.)
WHY ON EARTH WOULD I SHOW HER THIS?!
Lol, no way.
Some Person are you feeling alright now?
You’re gonna scare your kid.
People saying 16 years isn't enough
They got out in 7
