Im British Pakistani and its really sickening that there is theese types of men in my community potentially we all need to stick close and protect theese innocent vulnerable kids at all costs 😢
It's in all communites xxx
@@mrsf6740please don't try to dilute this situation, it's a huge problem involving Pakistani groomers. It's time the Pakistani community got to grips with these vile monsters!
These creatures are in every community love. I won't call them men.
I'm from the states and it's bad here too we do have education about it in schools but it's usually to late by then and when someone comes in and makes you feel better you like them for it they don't educate you about that.😢
@@gillsharpe7603Well said ,there is a serious problem in the Muslim community with the abuse of white girls…..
I was groomed at 15. Stuck in a bedroom with a bucket to urinate in and a webcam recording my every move.
Police wouldn't go near it because the abuser was Pakistani. 14 years later the sex trafficking scandal in Telford exploded and they finally took a statement from me.
It had been going on in Telford since the 80's.
I’m so so sorry you went through this and that no one was willing to help you. I hope you’re healing ❤
I'm so sorry you went through that. What happened in Telford is just beyond sickening. Its my home, and to have it so close to home scares the crap out of me, especially because I have a child of my own who is growing up and wanting to do his own thing. I hope you got (get) the justice you deserve ❤
@@XjaXemX Thank you ❤️. I'm 33 years old and have a 5 year old daughter and if anything it's made me stronger and given me the experience of knowing what to look out for my little girl xx
@@beckiestevens7584 I'm hoping that with everything that happened and the eventual media attention it received, young woman will be a lot more cautious. It is scary when you have your own children though. Thank you for your kind words, it was a challenging time but I'm stronger than ever now. Xx
@@nataliedawes2410 yes absolutely, you’ll protect her like a mama bear ❤️
PSA, If you have children at home, it is never a good idea to pick up people from the street and take them into the home with your children. It isn't kind. It's stupid. And if you have to be told this, you probably shouldn't have children in your care. That's the truth
theres such thing as predators that purposefully choose to find vulnerable people/families/parents/children etc, victim blaming isnt helpful. :/ not specifically talking about this case, but sometimes peoples hearts are in the right place, and people who are vulnerable, are easy targets. it happens.
@@joannemarlow7620 Please stop making excuses for ppl..... Children's welfare should always come first.
@@joannemarlow7620 Oh please, are you crazy? You would pick up a stranger and take him home with children? There's something wrong with you.
its not an excuse, its a reality.
@@gillsharpe7603
They had met and formed a friendship, we don't know the people closest to us at times nevermind a supposed friend.
Prejudice?? No it's called doing your job!!! Risk offending!! This case like so many others is beyond heartbreaking! It should never matter about a person's race, gender, their background nor if they come from money or not. Everybody should matter!! My heart breaks for Charlene's family 😢❤
I worked with charlenes sister ..this has destroyed her she’s absolutely heartbroken to this day ..she will never get over this
I’m so very sorry for her loss 😢❤ Please give her a hug from me 😢🤗❤️
@@theresarasche3173 💕💕
Charlene’s sister is rich on the inside…when you endure such pain it makes you strong…you feel completely hollow but the truth is actually the opposite…
I hope she finds peace someday 🌟
Something tells me the sisters were abused too
As someone who was a victim of child sexual exploitation and abuse and has spent half of my life trying to understand the situation and forgive myself, the way you explain and talk about it really speaks to my soul and helps me heal. I carried so much shame but listening to you explain it so well helps more than you know xx
Sweetheart, you have nothing to forgive yourself for ❤
Emma was wayyyyyy too easy on the parents in this case. That girl never stood a chance in a family like that. This is more than « chaotic ». Let her run around town at all hours at 13. Truancy. Pedophile staying in their house. Not reporting her missing for 48 hours. What more do you need to spell out BAD PARENTING??
The blame lays with the animals who raped and murdered Charlene.
I’m a psychic and healer…Charlene is laughing saying please tell this person to never have children…
That's one thing that puts me off this channel, the fact the host mostly goes easy on the parents in particularly the single mothers. In my opinion if you have a kid it shouldn't be for free benefit money or unplanned with no secure future. Also as the parent it's your job to raise your kid with the right manners and behaviour so if they're out of control or falling into the wrong crowd then do something about it! You're the parent! And lastly ffs if you're gonna take in a new partner unrelated to the kids then don't just allow them into your home so soon. If they have a past long serious criminal history or drug issues ect and you still think that's OK to be around your kids then you seriously need your head testing
More than bad parenting. I have read articles from social services stating there was physical abuse from the father
Emma has an agenda
@@robynmeyer7796tut tut…
Seaside towns are magical during the day, but as soon as dark hits, they have a completely different feel and defiantly not for minors.
I’ve been to Blackpool as a child and as a adult and even as an adult I don’t stay out after dark. I’m too scared 😅
My heart breaks for this poor little girl. The three-part BBC drama 'Three Girls' does a good job of highlighting the abuse and exploitation of young girls at the hands of takeaway owners.
the absolute dedication you have to your audience is extraordinary. even after birthing your lovely baby girl your back working. so much admiration for you Emma. sending you so much love and strength ❤️❤️
you know, I honestly thought she had pre recorded some videos before her childbirth to upload while she recovered. Until she said her baby is there and I realized that she’s still recording things right after having a baby.
I remember this case, and thank you for covering it :). The Reveshi guy had another takeaway nearby in St. Annes that I used to go to after working in a local night club - around the same time. Seemed a nice guy - but only found out a few years ago he was the bloke who was arrested for Charlene Downes' murder. A close friend of mine (who was a young girl at the time) told me he had a sofa in the back where other young girls would hang out. I was completely oblivious.
With how Blackpool is its ripe for Nonces to prey on vulnerable children 😢
Yep I don’t think he killed Charlene judging by info I’ve seen about her family but he’s definitely still a child molester and still does it now…
And he was ok to foster kids social services need sacking!
Being from Blackpool, this is such a big case that everyone still talks about. Another Blackpool case that would be great to cover is the Paige Chivers case, I hope you can have a look into it one day!
(Also congratulations on little Etta-Blue!! So glad you finally got your little girl!) x
My cousin lives next door to Charlene's sister. They lost their brother recently too. The whole thing is very sad.
I was targeted by these men when i was 15 and worked in one of these takeaways. I was locked in a room with the owner who tried to SA me in exchange for my wages.
I remember charlene, she was a couple of years younger than me. She was cheeky and full of life and the way this case was handled is appalling. Yes her mum should have reported her missing sooner and im sure she regrets that every day ... but there's never been more negligent parents than the mccans, but because their faces fit that gets swept under the carpet and Madeline still makes worldwide news today 😢
Second paragraph - bullshit.
Madelines father is a freemason..he is associated with the elites who run the world and press.theyre covering for him and pay them off
@@EmilyHartley25989 On what basis? what part of it is? The McCanns part certainly isn't. It ABSOLUTELY is a class based thing.
The parents had pedos staying in the house and they were sexually inappropriate with her, poor girl wasn’t safe at home.
Running around the rough streets all hours and there’s a number of perpetrators that could have done it but the kebab meat scenario would explain the “no trace”.
Poor girl this has always intrigued me since it first came out it’s horrifying no one has been held accountable still to this day.
Is this true?
@@PatriciaGodboutArt another documentary says so that I watched this year.
@@PatriciaGodboutArtyes, plus if Charlene was found she wasn't going to be returned to her home.
No it's not true. The family started that rumour to take the heat off themselves. The family were tied in with paedos staying in their house. They let their kids hang around with the se offenders. They didn't report her missing because they knew she had been with their friends. Then they teamed up with tommy Robinson and the edl to create this stupid story about making Charlene into kebab meat.
Sorry Emma, but I disagree, She might of been 'loved' but cared for. NO. You don't have a Paedophile living in your house with your children. And it wasn't just one. Her 'DAD' went to court with one of them knowing full well what he IS .
Well said, of course they knew!
I was shocked that this wasn’t mentioned. I’ve followed this case for years and knew about the known paedophile living in the house and the social workers report saying they’d witnessed an older man coming out of Charlene’s bedroom. She was on the bed in a nightie counting money.
I totally agree! The social services reports are available online, it’s clear that this girl was let down by everyone especially her parents.
she never stood a chance. When you are a child and a gullible teen, you rely on parents to protect you and guide you. The same thing happened to Kelly Ann Bates...parents were not looking out for her and she ended up murdered. @@hayleysimpson4939
It wasnt one paedophile they let 16+ known offenders into their home around their daughters

Could you please do the gemma barton craig crouch case please
I’m born in Blackpool and was always saddened when I hear about the ‘girl in a kebab’ story. So horrific, and not what her memory should be based on.
Thankyou Emma for shedding some light on this
Exactly it’s so sad bc when ppl think of this case ppl mainly think of either her parents or the kebab thing and she’s not thought of in a nice way it’s so sad
I don't know that 😢case. Jesus this happened, please 🙏 send me a link to read about this
Congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous baby girl Emma. We are looking forward to seeing you soon in Cheltenham for your serial killer next door tour! If you ever find the time to look into it (Im sure you are very busy atm!) I'd love you to cover the Case of Christopher Halliwell the whole case and what went on with the police investigation was mind boggling to me and I love tonhear your opinion! I've just tuned in so looking forward to this video 🙂
My nephew is turning 1 today! So i'm going to watch this later. Thank you Emma for continuing to bring light on cold cases and giving the victims a voice. Keep it up! ❤
Dear Emma Thank you so much for shining a light on the Pakistani Grooming Gangs. What happened to Charlene should not have happened to anyone, let alone a beautiful young girl like this. You constantly amaze me with your courage for telling these stories. Thank you.
Hey Emma, i watched a few docs and read information on this case and from what i found out, Her dad was known to be violent, known to take sex offenders in, not just one. They moved while being investigated by social services, her sister was 14 when she moved in to a house owned by a 50 year old man.
This is all the information ive found when researching this case a few times.
Im confused to why the family were just chaotic? Is this all fabricated? I see other people say the same xxx
Thank you so much as always 😊
Her mom has written a book on it, there is some things unanswered, but she does explain the move and why her sister moved out etc
@cupcake8369 I don't know if I would believe anything out of the mothers mouth.
Would be interesting to know what she has to say though
I mean how can she be so angry at the police when she waited two days, the most important window of time. So strange Emma skims across their behaviours. So strange
And all of that is just the tip of the iceberg. Poor charlene and her sisters what they went through was unimaginable
Not defending her @@emmamitchell2879 but some people still think you have to wait 24 hours to report someone missing... idk if that was the case then or not
Yeah Emma needed to put more onus on the parents... like why go in on a subset of "Pakistani men" like this? Bit of English bigotry showing...
Was utterly wonderful to have met you on Sunday Emma. And what a treat to have met your wonderful husband, beautiful son and his stunning girlfriend and last but certainly not least …… the adorable and most baby like baby I’ve EVER seen… ETTA BLUE. Was an honour and privilege to meet you all. Thanks for seeing me. Much love Jojo.
Ps….. I’ve not stopped thinking about that BTK problem. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️❤️🙏🙏
I’m so thrilled you had the opportunity to meet this amazing woman and her beloved family. I hope to attend one of her shows here in the USA when Emma Kenny can travel abroad. ☺️

What's the BTK problem please?
@@MichelleFaithLove well if it’s any cold comfort I took my nieces American girlfriend ( comes from Maryland). She loved it. But, she’d never heard of BTK??? 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️anyway, Emma is as humble and honest off screen as she is on, and that goes for her gorgeous team/family Pete, Tide, Lucy and not forgetting Emma and the newest edition Etta Blue. I honestly felt so honoured. Our show was her 1st since having Etta. I couldn’t leave without asking if maybe I could say hello…. Turns out she was up for it ( obviously her folk mean something to her) so we chatted for 10 mins, was surreal but really cool too. You have to go see her show, she’s so fab.
But then you guys have Stephanie Harlow ….. she’s my number 1 American True Crime Narrator . So it’s even I guess. Xxxx
@@grupadian9809 hmmmm, maybe ask Em on next live chat or…. Think about HOW or WHO took those pics???
I live in Blackpool I don’t believe anything has changed or improved in Blackpool. The poorest people just get poorer and working class kids and families are continually let down by the authorities. So sad that there’s still no answer for the family
Dixon Road Claremont area are like the third world now
I really appreciate your total empathy, your kind heart and the way you are so balanced in your views Emma! You are amazing.....BUT. Got to be said. There was so much abuse and depravity going on within this family... Family life was sadly BEYOND chaos. There have been leaked social Services reports that state Charlene was strongly suspected of being the victim of her dad "pimping her out". A total of 16 known sex offenders stayed in that home. One man in his 40s was suspected of sharing a bed with Charlene and was seen leaving her room on multiple visits from social services... pulling up his trousers. Its all been published/leaked online and it's sickening. The mother and father did not cooperate with the investigation to begin with. Had no alibi's for the night she went missing - the mum said Charlenes dad was out the Saturday night, on a bike searching for Charlene. The dad said to the police that he was actually too intoxicated that night to recall anything and did not return home from the pub until 2am Sunday morning. They both told very contradicting information on multiple occassions about where they were and what day they reported Charlene missing. If the dad was allegedly worried enough to be out looking for Charlene on Saturday...why no call to police until Monday? There's a theory. A male friend of the parents was living in the family home that weekend. He had a court appearance on the monday....regarding sexually molesting a young boy and young girl. This was the day the parents officially reported her missing. So they obviously did not want social or police sniffing around whilst he was staying with them.
Charlene's sister was living with a 47 year old sex offender....at the age of 14. A sex offender who appears to have been sexually involved with the mother as well!!!!! As if it doesn't get worse....A 40 something year old friend of the mum visited regularly and declared his sexual interest and "love" for Charlene. But he said he would "wait until she was legal". The mum remained friends with him. Actually, ALL of the dad's associates and closest friends were known paedophiles. Very odd....
The father was alcohol dependent and physically abusive to his children. He was seen running Charlene baths when professionals visited the home, and middle aged men would exit her bedroom. Its very much believed Charlene was too scared to return home to him, as he demanded all the money she made from performing sexual favors to men...he needed to fund his alcohol addiction. On the day she went missing she was reported to have given some money to an older male she knew....money she had been paid for having sex with a paedophile. This doesn't seem like coincidence...
If Charlene was found as a result of the investigation she was going to be put into local authority care regardless of anything. I'm appalled that she hasn't already been taken into care to be honest, it's heartbreaking and it's absolutely disgraceful. This poor poor girl 😢❤😮
I really thought Emma would have included all this information in the video. It seems a shame that the truth hasn’t been reported by her accurately considering her huge platform.
@@hayleysimpson4939I do appreciate that perhaps Emma is not allowed to discuss unverified information. Meaning the information has not been PROVEN to be the absolute truth. Despite the fact it is supported by many sources, acquaintances of the family ...child protective services etc. But Emma cannot risk being accused of defamatory accusations towards the family. I do get that. But I just get very angry and worried that people who do not decide to go on very deep dives of their own after watching Emma's content (I spend hours after videos that intrigued me) will never suspect any foul play and will go through life believing this family we're loving, and supportive...only slightly fractured.
Charlene deserves the truth to be out there, and her suffering and abuse known!!!! ❤
@@VickyElliott94I agree but dont then sit there and say what a loving tight knit family it was either say nothing or dont cover the case. What is alleged to have happened inside that home to all 3 girls is completely depraved totally shocked to hear the descriptions of charlenes family and home life. Adore emma and her videos but this was not it.
@@abiwilson6607I completely agree!!!
I absolutely love Emma and all of her work. I admire her greatly, but she does sometimes get it wrong. And it doesn't do the child being remembered any justice. Their history and their experiences are soooo vital for us to acknowledge. And people who abuse children MUST be held accountable.
I watched her Paris Bennett perspective...then went on a deep dive afterwards...for hours. And his mother appears VERY far from perfect, and a big enabler of his psychopathy. It does not in any way excuse what he did. Nothing ever can. But in her video Emma painted the mum in a really good light. Loving, nurturing etc. But it appears her parenting was traumatic for her young son and she is very responsible for disrupting his childhood in many ways. She was encouraging him to be codependent on her and treating him inappropriately for his age. And not seeking him help when he was very clearly disturbed early on! Using drugs far more than she was letting on. It seems Emma will use material that is not substantiated when it comes from a parent who has "lost their child" and "is the victim", but won't use information that's not substantiated when it completely contradicts that. But is backed up by many individuals.
If you look up Terry Hobbs. WOW!!!! So much damning information that he tortured and murdered those 3 little boys (her west Memphis 3 video). I understand she was covering the case of the investigation and the believed wrong conviction....not the individual home lives of each child. But Stevie Branch was horrifically sexually abused and physically abused throughout childhood by Terry. And the theories as to Terry killing all 3 children are just too strong to ignore. I understand she can't touch on him being a killer ..she has to stick purely to facts for fear of slander or false accusations. But to disregard such vital information at times makes me sad....it really does. Because unless you deep dive for hours like we do....the perpetrators of abuse are still getting away with it. And always will. Her audience mainly seems to take things at face value, and no parent who has abused their child should be misrepresented as being loving.
I guess we can't always get it right....but Emma has access to soooo much more than we do! So I thought she would be more thorough on some cases.😢
I was shocked when she didn’t say anything ab her family the parents are literally part of a racist group who hate Asians…so they were happy for them men to be pinned to the murder and they would constantly racially harass them.. I live down the street from them and it just freaks me out knowing what happened there. Karen’s even still friends with most the pedos she let in the house. The reason they even moved to blackpool was because Karen got in trouble for letting pedos live in her house with her young kids
Emma, I just have to say that you are stunningly beautiful, inside and out! Thank you so much for all the good work you do for this world! We need more people like you!❤
The sex trafficking in Blackpool is still a well known fact. The takeaway is still owned by the same man, he was friendly with the takeaway next door I got a job in when I was 16. Me and the girl there had problems with the guy being inappropriate and when we wouldn’t give in he sacked us and screamed in our faces. Unfortunately some girls have stayed as they get a job, alcohol etc. happening in all the takeaways in Blackpool
What takeaway was it? I’m going there next week would love to know to know to stay away from it!
Hi Emma. X would you ever consider coveting the case of young Andrew Gosden? X
I moved to Blackpool almost ten years ago after buying a B&B here. In the first few weeks, I was made aware of this case by locals who warned me to keep away from the takeaway shop near to my property, so naturally I looked up the story and did a fair bit of reading about it from various resources. While I don't know enough to make an informed opinion, the rumours/gossip from locals have been rife and do nothing but perpetuate gossip. I'm a believer in looking at patterns of behaviour and escalation.
Ah yes finally!!!! Thank you so much for covering Charlene x
Lovely to see you again Em and Co… thank you as always, fondest love xx 😘
Thank you Emma🤗 Been waiting on your take with this case. I’ve literally sat up at night trying to figure this one out. It got to my soul. God bless her ❤
Usually I really love these videos, but this seems really unbalanced. There’s a lot of blame placed on the police for initially thinking it was a runaway case and outrage from Emma about how they were not going to the press, losing time etc, but completely justified why her parents didn’t report her missing, why they didn’t panic. Perhaps initially the police believed the parents who told them she’d run away for 4 days at the age of 12, and when the parents don’t bother to report a child missing for days thinking she’s a runaway, why blame the police for thinking the same at the start? Why make it into a ‘class’ issue when it’s more likely that a loving caring parent would be jumping and screaming and doing anything to protect or find a child - yet these parents weren’t?
Her parents brought known paedophiles into their home, had no regard to their children’s safety, her fathers friends were all paedophiles and didn’t report her missing for days, and neither parent were open and honest with police at the start. But all this was skirted over as described as ‘chaotic yet close knit loving family’. In my opinion it’s the complete opposite!
I can’t imagine EVER putting my children in any position where they may be within 100ft of a sex offender, let alone having them stay in my home knowing full well what they are!!
A loving caring parents in a close knit family protect their children, keep them safe, know where they are and who with - her parents were anything but this. Poor Charlene was let down by everyone but most of all the people who were meant to protect her.
It just goes against every fibre in my body as a parent to treat a child the way they ‘cared’ for theirs.
Many of these girls that were groomed were classed as runaways even though their parents cared one father having gone to a house where his daughter was being plied with drink and drugs at the age of 14 was arrested guess what the police did nothing their answer was it's a lifestyle choice
@@billybobdog3815 oh yes absolutely- the same with many girls abused in the Rotherham grooming gangs. Let down by everyone
@@heymrsrobinson2389 and not forgetting Rochdale one of the first grooming scandals to come out
I agree, there are multiple named who could have killed her, including her own violent, alcoholic pimp father. In the rush to convict someone, the Police handed 250k each to two really bad people. Likely not killers but abusers..
thank you! i dont think emma has researched the family very well. they were not a good family. the parents are very strange and they knew they had paedophiles in their house. emma says they didnt, but it`s well known that they did. they know what happened to her
Her parents didnt contact the police when she didnt come home that night!!!! She was a very young girl, out in Blackpool at night. Mental.
I’m so glad you’re doing this one. 💔
Hi Emma Kenny, I'm from New Zealand and am a avid watcher and consumer of true crime. I just want to say thank you for a whole lot of things, but, mainly for your channel for helping to bridge mine and my father's relationship, it took our familiarity with cases seen on your channel for us to build on our, then, non existent relationship, so just dropping in to say thank you.
This is the second time I have seen this poor girl’s story covered. One had a air of judgement the other the complete opposite. This could have been me. To hear the understanding of what it is to come from this background and to be shown the respect for the young child trying to navigate the world when you are in contact with adults who see you as a toy brought me to tears. Thank you Emma. My heart breaks for her mother 😢
Why would Ur heart break for a pedo supporter?
Your heart ache is waste on charlenes mother read the social services reports
Your comment came straight from your 💜. God Bless you. I'm glad that you may think of yourself as being in the same circumstances as this young woman , but you seem to have conquered those circumstances. And that makes me happy and hopeful for what lies ahead.

Omg thanks for doing this! Can't wait, gonna watch it in the morning ❤❤
I love when you cover unsolved cases. It's so much more important to give them attention.
Hi from South Africa. Thank you for the amazing videos ❤️
Yes, a lot of memories I have of holidays in Blackpool. So sad what has happened to Blackpool as well as the crime coming from the death of this place with industries closing down and unemployment and poverty being one of the worst places in England. Nobody goes there anymore, when they can go abroad to warmer places nowadays. Going to listen to this story now Emma. Thank you and cheers. You always present stories so eloquently in a sensitive manner. Cheers, Elizabeth
Thanks for uploading. Xx
I am absolutely gobsmacked that the police were calling Charlene a runaway to the media, without/before letting the family know their belief. It's cruel how the mother found that out.
Also, your daughter's cooing in the background is adorable! 👶
oh Emma
so happy to hear you talk about your little girl!🎉❤
couldn't be happier for you
Everyone failed her especially her own parents ,they knowingly let sex offenders live with them plus more than likely abused charlene 🤬
Made up to be a new member, biggest love to you and your family Em ❤
Listening on my holidays in Bali Emma never miss an ep 😍Hope you’re well xxx
Hey Emma, my mum and I saw you in Norwich, thank you for putting on an amazing show, you are absolutely brilliant and so beautiful, keep being you! Thank you for covering Charlene's case, it's a case that needs more coverage and answers. I would love to hear your take on the Luka Magnotta (Jun Lin) case. Love you lots. ❤
I don't know this case. I can't imagine anything worse than your child going missing and never knowing what happened to them. Even spending eternity burning in hell would be less torturous.
Charlene’s mum did not care about her
Truancy punishment is just about like bill paying-- oh you can't afford your bill? We're tacking on a late fee!!! 🙄🙄😡😡
I love hearing your darling girl in the background.God bless .and thank you for all your hard work bringing these cases to us..
I'm brand new to the channel, saw your show in Darlington. Thoroughly enjoyed it
I remember when I was in sixth grade and there was another student named Brenda. Brenda didn't look like a 12 year old. She looked much older and dressed much older. I didn't really know Brenda but she dropped out of school at 12 because she became pregnant. My mother was not surprised. She insisted we be children and not act like adults. Because we weren't.
It makes me sad when I hear about children like this. I'm old now but I still remember Brenda.
Thanks for your reminder.
Right! I knew a girl in 8th grade who was similar to what you described about Brenda. Now that I'm older I believe this girl, who I will call T, was a prostitute. We ran away together at age 13, got picked up by two men in their thirties, word taken to a crappy apartment in Virginia where T proceeded to go to the back bedroom with both men. I ran out of that crap hole as fast as my stubby little legs would carry me and called my brother to come and get me.
I often wondered if T was trafficked by her mom or if she'd been sexually abused for so long she just thought it was normal to be forced into sex by any adult she encountered.
Wonder if she ended up ok.
God bless you for your compassion. So many just judge girls like Lolita’s, but at heart we are just little girls.
Emma you are absolutely fabulous at what you do, im obsessed with the crimes you cover, i watch them every night, you have so much knowledge and wisdom, its amazing to learn so much more about these cases. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
massive congratulations on your new daughter too xxx

I had cellular difficulties this afternoon. I’m logging on 10 past post time. The chat 💬 is unavailable so a quick thank you Emma. Baby sounds are always cherished here. XX
Love and support from Finland Emma!♥️🤗
Your hair rocks!
Her parents didnt 'do it' we just want someone to blame. Im a grown woman and for years ive had to keep disgusting hands off me, been cornered in shops even been folllowed out of places that when i was buying those poisonous cheap £5 ciggarettes. I can well imagine how bad it is for preteens/teenagers! Many of them do think we're "lower' than their women. Thats a fact!
Yeah the attitude seems to be "these Western women don't wear hijabs and have the audacity to go out in public. Therefore they're all worthless immoral whores to be treated with contempt"
Read the social services reports about charlenes family and what her parents had in their home and allowed to be done to their daughters. That truth deserves to be out there for everyone to see
Oh and is this the pedo that was allowed to stay with the family? As I said they're everywhere here if u live here u know that already, more than the natoinal average. Unsubstantiated accounts that her parents somehow hired her to this disgusting man are speculation are just that, speculation. Her house wasn't the nicest, in the nicest area and certainly all you do is keep people who are on the poverty spectrum seem like abusive, evil, disgusting families. Photo's taken in her home are just of Cherlene in her home. They don't need to get the maid in and dress up! You're being very judgemental Yes the truth does deserve to be out there but her family were the first people to be looked at, they didn't kill her or 'rent her out' ffs. Don't let the true perp get away with it. Have you heard his interview, never knew Charlene, spoke to her (he knew her!) and doesn't care what or what didn't happen to her in fact he doessn't give a toss- HIS WORDS=about a missing child?
Her parents pimped her out. This is recorded fact in governmental documents
When i was 14-15, the was a pizza shop. In Rochdale, in the early 90s, me and my friends use to get free food,etc.
I and my best friend, got into "relationships" with 2 men/ workers in this pizza shop.
Looking back now im a adult i know it was abuse.
This case has brought back bad memories. 😢
The whole video could just consist of Etta Blue doing her little growlies and I would still watch it.. lol I reckon she's old enough to start following in Mom's footsteps!!🥰🤣
I have been hoping you'd cover this case. Breaks my heart this story. Even if her parents didn't physically do anything, they were negligent. See you on Saturday Emma in Liverpool xx Cheryl xx
Me too 😢

Hey Emma. 3 days and I get to meet you finally!
Thank you Emma xx
That much of a loving mother, but didnt want to wait in for police. Id of been sitting outside that police station if that was my daughter. 2 days not reporting her missing. Only thing Karen is is a liar.
@Raytheman220. I wouldn't pay the money to read that load of BS
I remember walking a women back home 🏡 in Blackpool. Her m8's left her & she was proper finished 🥴 What amazed me was the Creeps that hovered around. She was actually speaking with Mt then girlfriend herself & friends. They pulled & left her. I walked back to the Hotel 🏨 & didn't feel cool. Told Mrs ime going to see if she's alright. She wasn't impressed 1 bit , but i said not on my watch does anything happen to that lady. Went back & yep. They were all over her 4 blokes 🫤😕 Said something like " There you are your sister is looking for you , come on taxi 🚕 outside " They looked confused. But got her away & explained if you gotta get home. I ain't dodgy spoke to me & Mrs. I gotta get you back end of. I did. 😊 I honestly don't wanna think about what would of happened her 😢 ime pretty sure she'd have been attacked by these fellas.
Thank you on her behalf 🙏😊
my god youre an angel. wish there were more people like you x
Good on you, you have a good heart 💗
Bless your heart , great man 🥰 we need more people like you around! X
From reading up on this tragic story of Charlene her father was notorious for always allowing sex offenders into his home, i know you mentioned her mother stabbing the father but this was just one of many red flags regarding this family. I'm not saying there's no smoke without fire regarding the kebab shop but the general consensus is that this was just a ruse by the family so they wouldn't be looked at too closely. Whoever's responsible for poor Charlene's disappearance she was let down by everyone, especially her family.
Very complex case Emma. I saw a 3 part documentary on it a few years ago. Maybe Charlene was loved by her family but one thing u forgot to mention was that when Charlene went missing it became noted that if she was found she was not to be returned to her family and instead put into care. Indeed u mention in this documentary that Charlene's Mother stabbed her husband and that Charlene's father was inviting known sex offenders into his home. I think the whole 'kebab meat' story was simply invented as a decoy to distract the investigation into what really happened to Charlene. It is my gut instinct from looking at the evidence that her parents had something to do with it, either that or their neglect contributed to the disappearance of Charlene.
Didn't her sister also move in with a man in his 50s when she was a teen? Seems really strange Emma didn't speak about all these things more.
@@emmamitchell2879 I agree Emma, as I said myself it's a very complex case.
@@emmamitchell2879 It's not strange at all. Emma didn't speak about those things because she talks about facts not gossip.
@susanwaldron6831 usually Emma works debunk the gossip, especially when it's not true and anyone else not reporting their 14 year old missing for 48 hours I would have thought emma would be disgusted at.
Sorry the whole thing is strange.
I'm neurodivergent and now I'm hyper focusing on this.
@@emmamitchell2879really it would depend on the habits of your child. There's nights I've messaged my teen and not heard back till morning etc I tell them off every time for it, because it does give a false sense of they are just being forgetful or inconsiderate about it. Emma isn't pretending for one minute they are the most consensus family.. considering it's an ongoing case she is being mindful of the people still suffering.
I knew Charlene, i know her family. This poor girl never got justice and neither did her family. The exploitation of girls went much further than anyway could imagine, I'm proof of that, even in the little small, secluded villages. I look forward to watching you do justice to this video xxx
Cases like this always hit me hard because when I was that age I was living a whole double life that my family had no idea about. When you're a teenager you don't think of the risks you just think oh this could be fun and do it. I distinctly remember being 14 and having a 30+ year old man try to SA me at a house party thankfully my male friends prevented that from happening and physically removed the guy from the house but I'll never forget feeling like I was being hunted. It is so frightening to be that young and have an adult manipulate and harass you in that way. My heart goes out to Charlenes loved ones because not knowing what happened has to be the worst kind of hell.
What a heartbreaking 💔 case. I hope her parents and family find out what happened to her, and can bring her home one day and get closure xx
Please read up on the case, her family don't deserve closure they allowed pedos into their home
Please could you cover the case of Eugénie spray
Thanks em. Stay safe to everyone.
Gripped with this one. Thank you Emma. Poor child and family ❤
I was truly PRAYING you'd of mentioned "THE HEAD OF SOCIAL SERVICES " at that time & what HE was quoted to of said in relation to Charlene..it was along the lines of (he didn't want to upset the Pakistani community in Blackpool 😢😢
OMG I was only talking about this case a few days ago with my mate and I said I hope Emma Kenny covers this and wow - must be the Manc connection 😉
This case is new to me , I'll have a quick look at wiki. Emma is looking fabulous as usual , whatever hairstyle she has , she always looks great. Certain people only suit certain hairstyles , but Emma's hair looks fabulous in every single style she wears 🙂

Congratulations to you and your hubby on your new baby girl 🎀 from South Africa 🇿🇦
I remember when this happened, it was on the news a fair bit. So sad, poor thing
TYSM EMMA!!! FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR US AND THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES / LOVED ONES!! Your an amazing person and I appreciate you immensely! Blessings and love sent to you and the fam AND that GORGEOUS, new tiny angel of yours!! 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏼👼🏼💜💜💜🌼🌼🌼. #donotcomply #bangtorights #emmakennyrocks
I've said it on Instagram already, but congratulations on the birth of your lovely little lady! your strength is amazing, it sounds like you have been on quite the journey! Would you be up to doing a standalone video about your experience, I'd love to hear what it is like having a baby when your older children are grown up, its always intrigued me. I imagine its so special and heartwarming to see your boys with her, in such a different way than if they were little too. How was the pregnancy and birth etc.. It might be too soon for you at the moment though, its amazing how you've kept that consistency. I understand if you feel its not right for the channel or its not really your thing, and most importantly you and your family's privacy is no1 priority x
Automatically hot the like button love Emma have watched other channels.but now only lo love her.
Hi there Emma, love ur Chanel and am a u tube member and can't get enuff of you xx
Just wondering if you would ever consider doing case of Azaria Chamberlain?? The case of baby supposedly taken by dingo.xx
Govt does not care about children in the UK.. I shan't elaborate as to why they allow this kind of thing to happen to our kids.
Is it because the country is run by sadistic immoral money grabbing fiends? Am I close?
I still can't get over that you were pregnant and we watched you twice a week and never caught on. Congratulations 🎊
Dearest Emma, congratulations to you, your husband and your family on your new bundle of JOY!!. Thanking you also, for you, and the beautiful way that you present your video,s, YOU are AMAZING! thankyou Emma, so very much, love and care, Deb x ps: I have been non stop binge watching for day,s! x❤
Love your channel!❤ Can you cover serial killer Curtis Dean Anderson please no one has covered his crimes! Thank you Emma❤
So heartbreaking 💔 so many missing people who have never been found. Just heartbreaking 💔
Congratulations on your new baby 💕
So many failures for Charlene. The absolute trauma for her family, so so sad. I hope someone comes forward with information as product of this coverage. Thanks for putting it out there Emma. 💚 The other worry though is, if not Charlene and if it wasn’t a joke. Who was the girl that the men were talking about? Anyway, once again thank you for bringing this case to light and I wish the family love and success in bringing those who are responsible to justice one day. One day soon I hope. 💚
Just THE TRUTH! Love it.
I ve never heard of this deep dive, but from what you guy's are saying it sounds harrowing ,by the way emma you look fab as always x
My heart breaks for this poor innocent girl and her poor family. There are no words 😢
Yeah our heart breaks for the "poor family" who allowed pedos around their children
Massive Congratulations to you both on the birth of your Daughter
You look amazing 💞🍼👩🍼
As you say that said I love your videos on true crime especially Uk/Ireland ones as you are so informative
Very Very dark case this one! Thanks Em ❤
I've watched some of your videos before - sometimes I'm not on exactky the same page as you are.......BUT & this is a "REAL BUT", on this one i think you are so on point, its really painful to watch. Poor girl and feel so much for her Mum. Im literally nodding my head everytime you break eack section down .
On another note, i wish you and your partner all the happiness and kove with your newest addition to the family. ❤❤
Why do you feel sorry for her pedo supporter mum? Who allowed pedos into her house
You look amazing for having giving birth just 2 weeks ago, mum goals!!! Your an inspiration Emma! ❤️
This is absolutely heartbreaking!! I'm Scottish and I've never even heard of this case which is shocking. So much more should have been done for that poor girl and her family. I'll be scratching off Blackpool from places to visit with my own wee one.
