Sad thing is there are probably hundreds if not thousands of children being severely abused right now. I despise that woman. She does not deserve to share the same air as most of us.
My mother would starve me for weeks at a time when I was a child till my hair hair started to fall out. If she caught me stealing food from the kitchen she would beat me with a curtain rod. That's just a sample of my childhood. People judge me now that I'm a adult because I won't associate with her they say u only have one mother your supposed to love ur mother well they should watch this video and try and tell me that. Your 💯 percent right this is going on all over the world right now. I'm convinced this world is evil

@@tommymack4372 I am so sorry that happened to you and grateful that you are ok. Don’t feel bad for not associating with her.

I agree with the judge who said something was broken in her but it doesn’t negate what she did. That’s true of your mother as well. Parents are supposed to be the first line of protection against all the things that could hurt their children. I’ll never understand how a parent can be the biggest threat in a child’s life.

Yes but... Why not show people what she did to her son, a side by side comparison would expose her evil. The judge is being too soft on her. We can handle it, the Judge saw the photo, it did not send him into a mental hospital. Show us the Crime she committed.

She has no remorse for what she did. She looks like she does not want to be there. This is an inconvenience to her. So glad she got life without parole
She probably thinks that Timothy was so determined to "win" that he died trying, instead of just submitting to her. Even though it was physically impossible for anyone to satisfy her demands. Let alone a child with ssvere concentration issues. Agree, I see no remorse. Just anger came out, how he sneaked food.

A shitty person will still be a shitty parent. It takes an absolutely despicable human to hurt the person they’re biologically programmed to love and protect.
@luxsalesmariak8867they knew, the sister talked about it in her impact statement. She remembered her & Timothy sitting in the back seat. I also have a hard time understanding why nobody, not the dearest dad, not the other kids, not her siblings. Really strange-IMO. This case is actually worse than shown in the trial, dearest dad needs to be behind bars also. ZavGirl has several videos, with the court docs from when she lost custody in Oklahoma. Unbelievable!
@Gooeydripthey didn't know bc they didn't care enough to know. They were abused maybe not to the extent Timothy was but they were yet they didn't care enough to check in on their brother. As long as they were not being abused anymore they didn't care enough to see how their brother was doing. Some culpability is on their part
@@KatG-vw4dbi thought the daughter was no contact with the mother. So no she wouldn't have called that house for any reason. If you haven't grown up in a toxic family you don't get that it might be months in between times that you talk to them.
The other kids didn’t like the mother I think. So maybe no phone calls to her house and no visits, maybe no landline and Timothy didn’t have a mobile. And the father dumped Timothy on the mother so he obviously wasn’t checking in on him. I think they lived a long way from Shanda the monster.
Real talk mane, everyday I'd think about my 2 younger siblings when they weren't around for few years but i was too young to have a phone n make calls. I think they started giving a f when they found out he died

I cried watching this trial. I cried listening to the prosecuting atty and the judge in this sentencing hearing today. I hope to NEVER see this despicable woman's face ever again. I hope to never hear her NAME again, unless it's that she is taken out in prison.
She never once cried for her son, or hearing her other children speak. I was appalled hearing her say, "I was so traumatized my 1st month in jail I didn't eat." Her son never ate unless he managed to take something knowing he'd be punished. How she could starve, abuse and chain her son up like some wild animal is beyond me? Shanda is pure evil and I can only hope she suffers like her son suffered at her hands the rest of her days.
I watched the entire trial and I can't wrap my brain around how MASSIVE her ego really is. And a masterful pathological liar. She's a disgusting human being.
I am sobbing here listening to the victim impact statements. How was there a dry eye in the court? I loved the judges speech as well and that he chose to share only photos of Timothy when he was alive and happy and healthy.
Just finished watching the whole trial uploaded by *dreading*. Can't stop my tears, had to run to my bathroom, didn't feel like working today. I'm in my office, and I find it so difficult to concentrate on my work. How could a mother do that to any human being, much less her own child? 😢😢😢
Oh man. These 2 made me cry. SUCH SWEET WORDS. I am so glad after all this time I got to hear all about Timothy and imagine in my mind who he really was and when I remember him I will remember him the way his two incredibly amazing siblings describe him. You two are HEROS! Do not blame yourself and do not let her win, Timothy is in the best place possible now. Do not let her win and destroy you. Your brother would most certainly want to see you happy. And if he is around to see you now, I'm positive he would want to see you smiling and succeeding.
I am having to fast for 1 day and I am starving my stomach feels hallow … I can’t even imagine the pain he went through. So hungry he ate raw ground beef and frozen nuggets. 5’8 and 69 lbs 😢 made to wear a diaper. There are no words for what she is . I hope Paul has to serve a lengthy sentence . He could have called 911 at any time.
I relate to these adult siblings. I also escaped my abuser who was my parent when I became an adult and also foolishly thought my younger siblings were OK because I thought there were people around them who could protect them. But as soon as I learned that wasn’t true I stepped in and luckily we’re not dealing with this type of hurt today. My heart goes out to these two.
I couldn’t watch this trial or follow it, it was just too heartbreaking. This Judge seems amazing - again just based off this clip and the fact he denied photos in open court to preserve Timothy’s dignity made me tear up. And for handing down a life sentence and putting SVA in her place. TY Judge.
I really wish I our state had the death penalties in cases like this. This woman ain't a mother this woman is a monster thank God they gave her life without parole.
Why do these women withhold food and water from children who are unable and incapable of getting food and water on their own? How can they put food and water in their mouths while they look at a starving thirsty child? It is criminal.
He COULD get food. She made it impossible. She had him locked in a closet or otherwise under constant supervision to torture him. He was denied food WITH INTENTION. This baby boy was handcuffed to the wall. His ankles chained together. The fridge and pantry were locked.
The courts declared her unfit to be a parent and gave custody to the father. Unfortunately the father was a POS too and gave the custody back to mom. It’s very rare that courts don’t give custody to the mother and there must have been evidence of her poor parenting, likely corroborated by the older siblings. The older siblings knew, I blame them too.
No it doesn't. She knew coming in that she was going to get life. What was there for her to react to? She knew she was going to get told how awful she was. She very likely is medicated.
@@MandyAltamirano she showed no emotion whatsoever. Nothing when her own kids spoke. Nothing when the judge spoke and showed Timothy's picture that she couldn't even look at. Shes an evil sociopath. It's not about being surprised but more about being human.
@@FCUK- How someone reacts is irrelevant, it isn’t evidence in any civilized society. She is a murderer, but her reactions prove nothing. Lindy Chamberlain got wrongfully sentenced to life because dingos ate her daughter because she didn’t cry and weep in public. Texas is killing a man next month because he showed no reaction when going to the hospital with his daughter. Stop using pseudoscience.
I hope the judge who knew all’ the in depth details heals too and his family will help him repair too, thankyou sir for your service and this message goes to all involved in this case bringing Themis horrific thing to trial and thankfully prison, I hope you all heal
none of these brothers sister grandparents uncles aunts went to visit or check on Timothy in all these months he was tortured to death imagine u could have saved his life tragic REALLY
Timothy's brother said "I thought things were different than when I was younger" and "I thought my mother had changed for the better". He knew his mother was abusive and did not proactively respond.
Even her elder girls were effected by her evil gaslighting as demonstrated by the fact that even she, in her victim impact statement referred wee Timmy as "he could be annoying at times".... Dogging on this child, even in death, was completely normalised by that diabolical mother, and further mimicked by her children in order to deflect her attention off themselves. Rip young man, your senseless death will not be in vain.
The brother's speech made me cry....sweet baby boy. 😢 Heaven has him now. This horrible woman will also face God's wrath and judgment "do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked"
I'm sorry but the brother & sister and his biological father & the grandparents failed him. Where were they??? Everyone in his life let this happen. It's sicking 😢 she should be buried under the jail. RIP sweet boy. Rest in the arms of our father. 💙🕊️💙🕊️💙🕊️💙
What a brilliant judge. When the judges get to finally say what they think of theses defendants for the first time, having sat through all the details of these tragic cases, and they really beat these people down with their words, is satisfying to a sense. Not all judges do it. I guess that’s the personal choice of the judge. But it’s good to see when they do.
Yes Timothy is SO beautiful 💙 He beat that monster in the end. Timothy’s soul is in peace now. Shandas will never be. It’s Jail then straight to Hell for her 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The fact that none of the family checked on Timothy but everyone wants to cry over him now that he’s gone is puzzling. It’s takes time for someone to become that malnourished. Timothy went through tons of abuse throughout which someone could’ve visited and reported the mistreatment/abuse or raised alarm. Nobody had any indication apparently that he was suffering and starving all this time but nobody inquired either. Charge the daddy too. Disabled or not (think he had stroke) that’s his child and he’s responsible for his well-being as well as giving custody to this witch.
It bothers me too. But they probably got the heck away from their mom the second they were of age, and naively thought that he would be okay. Maybe Shonda wasn't targeting him during the time that they were around, and they hoped it was still the same way. Maybe they assumed someone would report her if something was wrong.
If I was the judge, the last thing I would have said to her, is “the only thing you said that was true, is that you are intelligent.” I wouldn’t even give her that. Especially since she boast about it!
"Most Mothers but not all..." so very sadly true. I share that bond with Timothy only I did not have special needs and I survived. I hope you are happy now, perfect in the presence of the Creator.
They went no contact before Timothy went to live with Shanda. When they were younger Shanda lost custody of the oldest 4 children to their father so I'm sure she was an awful mother to them and they had reason to want to distance themselves. They are not to blame.
@@ChannelSettings4Poppycock that was just an excuse. Of course there would have been some sort of contact. Look what the daughter said about loving him, holding his hand and how special he was. She even said he could be annoying at times but all he had to do was look at her with his “big blue eyes” They just saw what they wanted to see.
@@alibi247 yeah so what. Kids are annoying sometimes and these people you're talking about were children of Shanda themselves. They cannot be blamed for anything. The only other people who should be on trial are the bio dad and step mother because they gave her Timothy knowing she wasn't supposed to have him.
The father should be heald accountable for giving Timothy to his mother. She was deemed unfit to have custody. Therefore, the father shouldn't have given him over to her. Everyone in his life failed him.
Where were the older siblings and family when Timothy was being tortured? It makes no sense to cry and speak lovingly about Timothy after death, when nothing was done while he was alive….they knew because of their own experience…yet they did nothing. Listening to their impact statements made an impact all right; it was sickening. Pots calling the kettle black.
You are lucky you have such sentences. Where I live "life"means maybe 12 years of which you serve half. Even serial killers here won't get actual life sentences where they'd stay behind bars for good, so they keep killing
She lost custody of Timothy a long time ago, by law she was supposed to stay away from him. The DAD gave Timothy to her!!! All of his siblings except for the brother who also tortured him didn’t know he was living with her and they had a NO CONTACT with that monster of a “mom”. The “dad” should be charged too!!! She wasn’t even supposed to be in contact with Timothy

That whole throwing up act she pulled was the cringiest thing I've watched take place in a trial.
No it doesn't. She knew coming in that she was going to get life. What was there for her to react to? She knew she was going to get told how awful she was. She very likely is medicated.
@@MandyAltamirano she showed no emotion whatsoever. Nothing when her own kids spoke. Nothing when the judge spoke and showed Timothy's picture that she couldn't even look at. Shes an evil sociopath. It's not about being surprised but more about being human.
@@FCUK- How someone reacts is irrelevant, it isn’t evidence in any civilized society. She is a murderer, but her reactions prove nothing. Lindy Chamberlain got wrongfully sentenced to life because dingos ate her daughter because she didn’t cry and weep in public. Texas is killing a man next month because he showed no reaction when going to the hospital with his daughter.
Stop using pseudoscience.
Well said thank you judge
I hope the judge who knew all’ the in depth details heals too and his family will help him repair too, thankyou sir for your service and this message goes to all involved in this case bringing Themis horrific thing to trial and thankfully prison, I hope you all heal
none of these brothers sister grandparents uncles aunts went to visit or check on Timothy in all these months he was tortured to death imagine u could have saved his life tragic REALLY
They wanted their distance from this witch
Timothy's brother said "I thought things were different than when I was younger" and "I thought my mother had changed for the better". He knew his mother was abusive and did not proactively respond.
Right! Same with the sister crying hysterically. Woman, blame yourself too.
Even her elder girls were effected by her evil gaslighting as demonstrated by the fact that even she, in her victim impact statement referred wee Timmy as "he could be annoying at times".... Dogging on this child, even in death, was completely normalised by that diabolical mother, and further mimicked by her children in order to deflect her attention off themselves. Rip young man, your senseless death will not be in vain.
Why wasn’t ANYBODY helping? His siblings, grandparents, father, teacher’s?
RIP Timothy 🙏🏼 You’re now safe with our Heavenly Father 🙏🏼
She's so smart that she outsmarted herself.
The brother's speech made me cry....sweet baby boy. 😢 Heaven has him now. This horrible woman will also face God's wrath and judgment "do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked"
I'm sorry but the brother & sister and his biological father & the grandparents failed him. Where were they??? Everyone in his life let this happen. It's sicking 😢 she should be buried under the jail. RIP sweet boy. Rest in the arms of our father. 💙🕊️💙🕊️💙🕊️💙
What a brilliant judge. When the judges get to finally say what they think of theses defendants for the first time, having sat through all the details of these tragic cases, and they really beat these people down with their words, is satisfying to a sense. Not all judges do it. I guess that’s the personal choice of the judge. But it’s good to see when they do.
Yes it is
There are so many parents out there that have absolutely no business being parents. Most honestly.
She sat writing as though she was at work, during the judges sentence. Whilst her lawyer sat and listened. Disgusting woman !!!!😡 That beautiful boy💕
Beautiful child. RIP Timothy ❤
Yes Timothy is SO beautiful 💙
He beat that monster in the end.
Timothy’s soul is in peace now. Shandas will never be. It’s Jail then straight to Hell for her 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The fact that none of the family checked on Timothy but everyone wants to cry over him now that he’s gone is puzzling. It’s takes time for someone to become that malnourished. Timothy went through tons of abuse throughout which someone could’ve visited and reported the mistreatment/abuse or raised alarm. Nobody had any indication apparently that he was suffering and starving all this time but nobody inquired either. Charge the daddy too. Disabled or not (think he had stroke) that’s his child and he’s responsible for his well-being as well as giving custody to this witch.
Life in prison isn't the death penalty, but oh boy will she be taken care of in prison. . .
Unfortunately women get let off more easily then if men kills children in prison
With that attitude and face and what she did, yeah they’re gonna have a field day with her 😅
Where were they all those months he was tortured?
It bothers me too. But they probably got the heck away from their mom the second they were of age, and naively thought that he would be okay. Maybe Shonda wasn't targeting him during the time that they were around, and they hoped it was still the same way. Maybe they assumed someone would report her if something was wrong.
Evil and demonic. There's two words. Sad to me that some great people can't have kids and this demon was able to have many.
What I would like to know, is HOW any lawyer could defend that piece of crap.
Cases like this are why we need capital punishment!
Stop feeding her
If I was the judge, the last thing I would have said to her, is “the only thing you said that was true, is that you are intelligent.” I wouldn’t even give her that. Especially since she boast about it!
Justice was served
"Most Mothers but not all..." so very sadly true. I share that bond with Timothy only I did not have special needs and I survived. I hope you are happy now, perfect in the presence of the Creator.
Where were the brother and sister while Timothy was being tortured for months
They went no contact before Timothy went to live with Shanda. When they were younger Shanda lost custody of the oldest 4 children to their father so I'm sure she was an awful mother to them and they had reason to want to distance themselves. They are not to blame.
@@ChannelSettings4Poppycock that was just an excuse. Of course there would have been some sort of contact. Look what the daughter said about loving him, holding his hand and how special he was. She even said he could be annoying at times but all he had to do was look at her with his “big blue eyes” They just saw what they wanted to see.
@@alibi247 yeah so what. Kids are annoying sometimes and these people you're talking about were children of Shanda themselves. They cannot be blamed for anything. The only other people who should be on trial are the bio dad and step mother because they gave her Timothy knowing she wasn't supposed to have him.
The father should be heald accountable for giving Timothy to his mother. She was deemed unfit to have custody. Therefore, the father shouldn't have given him over to her. Everyone in his life failed him.
Shanda & Paul should have to eat bread & hot hot sauce till they poop their pants all the time
Why did this brother and sister not see what was going on. Did they not visit him? Did they not see his deterioration?
Where were the older siblings and family when Timothy was being tortured? It makes no sense to cry and speak lovingly about Timothy after death, when nothing was done while he was alive….they knew because of their own experience…yet they did nothing. Listening to their impact statements made an impact all right; it was sickening. Pots calling the kettle black.
I'm hoping that people in prison, will help her remember who Timothy was.
Where was Timothy’s father in all of this?
He handed Timothy over to her . He had full custody of him before…
Where were the police, the school, or CPS?
You are lucky you have such sentences. Where I live "life"means maybe 12 years of which you serve half. Even serial killers here won't get actual life sentences where they'd stay behind bars for good, so they keep killing
I ask myself how it's possible that a person like her has custody of that child ! Nobody saw or knew there was something wrong ? Unbelievable.
She lost custody of Timothy a long time ago, by law she was supposed to stay away from him. The DAD gave Timothy to her!!! All of his siblings except for the brother who also tortured him didn’t know he was living with her and they had a NO CONTACT with that monster of a “mom”. The “dad” should be charged too!!! She wasn’t even supposed to be in contact with Timothy
