I think the case worker should have been held accountable. I, as a former foster parent can tell you we are always being watched closely by these workers and made to feel we aren’t good enough to question their decisions. Thankfully our last case worker knew what she was doing and actually protected the child before listening to the lies the parents were spewing. Oh, and it absolutely disgusts me he kept his job…but isn’t that typical with one of these govt jobs? They are protected while an innocent, beautiful child who should have been protected just as well is murdered and her body will probably never be found. It’s just wrong.
I cried so much when this trial was going on. To hear everything that beautiful angel went through. Then that monster even in her death tried to have control of where her body is.
I cried too. Poor Harmony!! I cried for her and just kept seeing her little face Harmony scared thinking, Please Someone Help Me! Prayed for Harmony May Her Lilttle Soul Rest In Peace.
Apparently by simply not filling in certain info on the Massachusetts DCYF/CPS/court paperwork…judge looked right past it, and handed him an innocent child that didn’t even survive a year with him 😟
Crystal, you go, I have written to NH reps about this during Harmonys trial....Dcyf needs to be held accountable, I was asking for this last winter! Keep fighting Crystal, so proud of you!
Yet everyone loves to complain when government gets in their life. How about both parents be held accountable and not given so many chances to continue to abuse their child and then end up with a dead little one. Now that useless junkie bio mother once again not taking any responsibility wants $$$
So he noticed injury but did not contact police, failure! However there are MANY case workers that are either not doing their job or have very limited power due to overreach of the state. Entire System needs to be audited to weed out these failing depts & workers to help prevent future harm.
Yup and mind you Adam already had an abusive criminal record! His background should’ve been an immediate red flag into reporting any marks or bruises on his child
He needs to be held accountable. He testified that he saw him get in the car but it drove off and he never followed up. In a case of abuse, why would you believe a foam story? Smh all parties involved failed Harmony
Everyone involved with the task of keeping Harmony safe and failing, should be behind bars! Her father already is but then it should be the Child Welfare worker and the Judge most of all!!!!!
Thank you so much for exposing this sorry excuse of a civil servant, and thank you moreso for keeping justice for Harmony alive, praying her remains are found some day 🙏
I still think about this beautiful little girl all the time because she never had a chance since day one of her life ! It breaks my heart to see the pictures of her with a smile on her face and knowing that her life was pure hell ! Everyone failed her and I mean everyone in her life failed her miserably ! May you finally rest in peace sweet angel .
Heartbreaking, sweet baby Im so sorry..I hope the other prisoners make him feel like he made Harmony feel, totally helpless😢I hope they never let up on him untill hes gone
I feel for Harmony and all her family that truely loved her. The social work system is flawed and these workers are very much overworked but this does seem to be a huge oversight.
They tried so hard to discredit Crystal, Harmony’s mother, and frame her as a no-good drug addict when in fact she’s actually a functioning addict who was trying to quit drugs often in order to regain custody. The reason they even started this investigation was because Crystal kept constantly calling and asking about her whereabouts AND yet she still got so much hate during this trial and news coverage. The real people that failed that child where the ones who ignored this mom’s cries for help, simply because they chose to view her as a negligent addict. Also, the father had a criminal record and she didn’t!!! Yet the judge was swayed by him into being grant full custody.. smh
This poor beautiful Lil girl what she went through by the hands of her Evil father , the one who's supposed to protect her .The social worker should definitely have charges brought against him , if he was doing his job this precious child would still be here .I'm proud her biological mother is still seeking justice for her daughter. She made mistakes but has changed her life around and she would of protected her ..Unlike the stepmom..Really makes me sick
So sad 😭 this story breaks my heart 💔 I am so upset 😡 he could have saved her..... 😪 I know kayla could have too, abused mindset, fear. This guy though........ Caseworker should have charges. I shouldn't, but can't help but hope for karma on Adam.
Has the mom taken accountability for her daughter? I mean yea the dad is absolutely a disgusting pos. But where was her mom? She seems to be mad at everyone, but where was she.
I am so glad to see that they are at least trying to see why this case fell through the cracks, like so many others, these children, are the most vulnerable among us, they don’t have someone that loves them, looking out for them, they are at risk, trapped in a system that harbors pedophiles, human traffickers, and many other criminals that prey upon them. They are in dire need of protection, that seems to be worlds away from them. 😔😢
And what about the judge who allowed this career criminal to have his daughter with him? The Social worker didn‘t do his Job properly, no doubt. But the judge should have never allowed this in the first place
I think the case workers now days don’t work for the kids like they use too. You got this younger generation coming into the this kind of work and go by the books. Not happy with Dss ppl.
Why was this man still employed? By the sounds of it, he should have been fired way before this happened. This is one job that you shouldn't get second chances. You're not stocking shelves, you're responsible for the safety of children! You shouldn't have a chance to mess up twice!
Many states around the country have a very bad system with their children and family services that involve children and juveniles being mistreated and not cared for properly by the parent(s). These state workers act like they don't want to do much for the clients and rather just get paid by their state.
Cps takes the rights away from the parents then gives this precious baby to a foster family to love and care for and raise for years but they get no rights to the child, they are the only family the baby knows but they are powerless and treated like they are irrelevant to the case. Then the sperm donor pops up out of nowhere, who has no relationship with the child, and wants to pursue custody. And the idiot judge actually takes this precious little girl away from EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING she has ever known and gives full custody to a violent, dangerous, drug addicted, career criminal in anther state!!! Anyone who blames the bio mom Crystal for Harmony’s death clearly doesn’t know the facts of this case!! Yes she lost her due to her own struggles but the system was involved with Harmony for years and Crystal had no power to do anything by the time she was placed with Adam. It was up to the system, the judge, cps workers , and ADAM AND KAYLA to keep Harmony safe at that point and they all failed her!!!! Meanwhile Crystal was begging social workers to talk to Harmony and they were telling Crystal to stop calling them and leave Adam alone!!! She is not to blame!!
No. Crystal isn't Kayla. Yes, she battled substance addiction but she learned from it & she's not a career criminal. DCYF should've never overlooked that or AT LEAST acted when Kevin reported the abuse.
Could he have done more? He should have done something that's his job. But that job is damned if you do damned if you don't. Either she goes to foster home with bad people or stay with killer father. I mean this case worker is one of the root of America's problems in protecting American Children.
The protection of beautiful sweet harmony was her father& mother and family member’s responsibility Adam is the #1 responsible for he’s abuse /death on this sweet angel
@ldolan4051 What do you mean? A & K were arrested after Harmony was officially declared missing in late December 2021. Adam stood trial 1st for gun dealings in the summer of 2023 and in February 2024 for killing his daughter. Kayla got 18 months for perjury & got a deal for being the State's witness/her testimony about what happened on Dec. 7, 2019 & afterwards. Harmony's case has been in the national news for almost 3 years now.
Bio-Mom deserves nothing and especially blood money!! She's a huge catalyst in the death of Harmony. Had she been a sober wonderful mother this would have NEVER happened!!!
She’s not doing this for money, she’s doing this to make sure the system that failed Harmony is investigated! And as far as her not being a “wonderful, sober mother “ well sorry this isn’t a perfect world full of perfect people, we all have flaws, that doesn’t justify what happened to Harmony.
Your comment speaks volumes about YOU, not Crystal. Unlike AM & Kayla, she was able to kick her addiction to the curb. Unlike AM, she doesn't have a criminal record/didn't deal with guns & didn't shoot a person in the face. She was on DCYF's radar but they let Adam's violent past slide. 🤦♀️
This is the one case I will never forget along with Harmony's sweet little face, beautiful smile and little glasses. She never had a chance. No one ever protected her. She was handed over to a heartless, soul less, evil monster. R.I.P. Harmony.
It’s appalling to me that Crystal wants money for the daughter she lost for choosing drugs!! Poor me poor me, well it took her two years to even notify anyone that Harmony was missing!!! She may not have killed little Harmony but she failed her too!!! She doesn’t deserve a dime!!!
For what? She was doing everything she possibly could. And she was telling everyone that Adam was keeping harmony from seeing her but no one was listening. The system, especially the idiot judge who handed a defenseless 5 year old girl to a violent, career criminal, is FAR more to blame than Harmony’s mother who had no control over anything!!!
@mariee.5912 Huh?? Blair Miller & his husband wanted to adopt Harmony too, so she could grow up with her half-brother. Jamison's was an open adoption; they are in contact with Crystal. They were told by DCYF that AM already had custody. Don't make up stories just to bash Crystal.
#CourtTV What do YOU think?
Catch up on the tragic story of #HarmonyMontgomery: www.courttv.com/tag/harmony-montgomery/?
Poor little girl. The picture of her smiling in her little glasses is heart wrenching. He’s an absolute monster.
Poor Harmony! So cute! What is up with CPS workers failing these kids!
Poor Harmony! She was so cute! What is up with CPS failing kids?
This guy needs to be held accountable… and fired. He needed to ask Harmony not Adam who’s a drug addict.
It's time these case workers start being held accountable for their lack of action to help these children.
Yet the junkie mother wants to make money off her death yet again. The bio mother takes no responsibly just a money grabber
In a perfect world.
Social worker needs to be locked up. How an earth he was able to keep his job with that history?
He should be held accountable for his negligence, this is ridiculous
I think the case worker should have been held accountable. I, as a former foster parent can tell you we are always being watched closely by these workers and made to feel we aren’t good enough to question their decisions. Thankfully our last case worker knew what she was doing and actually protected the child before listening to the lies the parents were spewing.

Not in California you’re not. They don’t watch Foster parents at all here.
I cried so much when this trial was going on. To hear everything that beautiful angel went through. Then that monster even in her death tried to have control of where her body is.
Harmony’s father punched her as though she was a grown man. In her good eye too. He’s a monster.
@PrincessCashmonie yes 😢 so heartbreaking. Special place in hell for demons like him.
Hoping Prison Justice prevails.
I cried too. Poor Harmony!! I cried for her and just kept seeing her little face
Harmony scared thinking, Please Someone Help Me! Prayed for Harmony
May Her Lilttle Soul Rest In Peace.
Poor little sweet Harmony, may she rest in peace. Those who are responsible need to go to prison for life, and NO parole !!!!
Beautiful Harmony so glad justice ♎⚖️ was served for her. That gorgeous baby girl deserved so much better in her short life 🧬❤️❤️🧬❤️❤️
More importantly how in the world did he ever get custody with that kind of criminal record? Everyone failed
Apparently by simply not filling in certain info on the Massachusetts DCYF/CPS/court paperwork…judge looked right past it, and handed him an innocent child that didn’t even survive a year with him 😟
@PookieEST2001 that is soooo horrible
Crystal, you go, I have written to NH reps about this during Harmonys trial....Dcyf needs to be held accountable, I was asking for this last winter! Keep fighting Crystal, so proud of you!
Precious Harmony 🥲🥲😭
Rest in heaven little one. 💕💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Too many little girls and boys are being abused and murdered. These social workers and judges need to be held accountable.
Exactly! They need to do away with governmental immunity PERIOD!
Yet everyone loves to complain when government gets in their life. How about both parents be held accountable and not given so many chances to continue to abuse their child and then end up with a dead little one. Now that useless junkie bio mother once again not taking any responsibility wants $$$
So he noticed injury but did not contact police, failure! However there are MANY case workers that are either not doing their job or have very limited power due to overreach of the state. Entire System needs to be audited to weed out these failing depts & workers to help prevent future harm.
Absolutely.
Yup and mind you Adam already had an abusive criminal record! His background should’ve been an immediate red flag into reporting any marks or bruises on his child

Thank you so much for exposing this sorry excuse of a civil servant, and thank you moreso for keeping justice for Harmony alive, praying her remains are found some day 🙏
Someone or more than one person needs to be held accountable.
😡 Long overdue and absolutely unacceptable!
HiC…. Yes this 😡case is taking way to long
I still think about this beautiful little girl all the time because she never had a chance since day one of her life ! It breaks my heart to see the pictures of her with a smile on her face and knowing that her life was pure hell ! Everyone failed her and I mean everyone in her life failed her miserably ! May you finally rest in peace sweet angel .
They needed to look up AM's history/criminal record & rule accordingly, but they failed--including judge Mark Newman.
Heartbreaking 💔😢. May you reat in peace Harmony 🙏🤲❤🌻🌼🌸🌺🌈🌟🌠🦋
Heartbreaking, sweet baby Im so sorry..I hope the other prisoners make him feel like he made Harmony feel, totally helpless😢I hope they never let up on him untill hes gone

So sad 😭 this story breaks my heart 💔
I am so upset 😡 he could have saved her..... 😪
I know kayla could have too, abused mindset, fear.
This guy though........
Caseworker should have charges.
I shouldn't, but can't help but hope for karma on Adam.
I have no words 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Has the mom taken accountability for her daughter? I mean yea the dad is absolutely a disgusting pos. But where was her mom? She seems to be mad at everyone, but where was she.
I’ve been screaming this for a while! Where was Mom? Out on drugs 🥜
She was required to be in two courtrooms at the same time, she couldn't be there for harmony
@@elizabethchase6528That’s a LIE. Stop saying it. She was unreachable to DCFS
She was using/DCFS couldnt get a hold of her
@notsorryyouretriggered no... YOU'RE LYING.
She was in court for her son ... The judge in Harmony's case WOULDN'T RESCHEDULE.
I am so glad to see that they are at least trying to see why this case fell through the cracks, like so many others, these children, are the most vulnerable among us, they don’t have someone that loves them, looking out for them, they are at risk, trapped in a system that harbors pedophiles, human traffickers, and many other criminals that prey upon them. They are in dire need of protection, that seems to be worlds away from them. 😔😢
Every single adult in this girls life were bad. She didn’t stand a chance.
I just thought about her the other day. She’s so innocent
Good.
And what about the judge who allowed this career criminal to have his daughter with him? The Social worker didn‘t do his Job properly, no doubt. But the judge should have never allowed this in the first place
I think the case workers now days don’t work for the kids like they use too. You got this younger generation coming into the this kind of work and go by the books. Not happy with Dss ppl.
Judge Mark Newman isn't young; he retired in 2019.
Why was this man still employed? By the sounds of it, he should have been fired way before this happened. This is one job that you shouldn't get second chances. You're not stocking shelves, you're responsible for the safety of children! You shouldn't have a chance to mess up twice!

DISGUSTING 🤮 Both Crystal and Adam are mostly to blame. No sympathy for either.
No. Crystal isn't Kayla.
Yes, she battled substance addiction but she learned from it & she's not a career criminal. DCYF should've never overlooked that or AT LEAST acted when Kevin reported the abuse.
He really failed her how many others I wonder?
Could he have done more? He should have done something that's his job. But that job is damned if you do damned if you don't. Either she goes to foster home with bad people or stay with killer father. I mean this case worker is one of the root of America's problems in protecting American Children.
You forget about her half-brother's adoptive family; they wanted Harmony to grow up with Jamison.
Finally more info regarding sweet harmony…Adam is next anyone know about what’s going on with this monsters case…..
Adam was convicted for Harmony's murder and will never get out of prison.
@ hello again b…..thank you.. I dident see a trial on him
What do you mean; AM's trial was in February & he was sentenced this spring.
In addition to the sentence for his gun dealings, he's done.
The protection of beautiful sweet harmony was her father& mother and family member’s responsibility Adam is the #1 responsible for he’s abuse /death on this sweet angel
Five years!? Why is this information just coming out now? To let the statute pass?
@ldolan4051 What do you mean? A & K were arrested after Harmony was officially declared missing in late December 2021.
Adam stood trial 1st for gun dealings in the summer of 2023 and in February 2024 for killing his daughter.
Kayla got 18 months for perjury & got a deal for being the State's witness/her testimony about what happened on Dec. 7, 2019 & afterwards.

This is the one case I will never forget along with Harmony's sweet little face, beautiful smile and little glasses. She never had a chance. No one ever protected her. She was handed over to a heartless, soul less, evil monster. R.I.P. Harmony.
Is this crime reporter normally look like she’s been crying for hours? I know it’s a sad case but I wasn’t sure if this is baseline for her or what….
It’s appalling to me that Crystal wants money for the daughter she lost for choosing drugs!! Poor me poor me, well it took her two years to even notify anyone that Harmony was missing!!! She may not have killed little Harmony but she failed her too!!! She doesn’t deserve a dime!!!
What??? People like you are why the comment section is so toxic.
The mother should be held accountable too.
For what? She was doing everything she possibly could. And she was telling everyone that Adam was keeping harmony from seeing her but no one was listening. The system, especially the idiot judge who handed a defenseless 5 year old girl to a violent, career criminal, is FAR more to blame than Harmony’s mother who had no control over anything!!!
Crystal? Nope.
She did nothing wrong except for struggling with substance addiction (and made it through rehab).
@Galaxie08 she didn't allow a decent couple to adopt Harmony. So she was sent to live with her dad. Harmony's brother is alive. He was adopted.
@mariee.5912 Huh?? Blair Miller & his husband wanted to adopt Harmony too, so she could grow up with her half-brother. Jamison's was an open adoption; they are in contact with Crystal.
They were told by DCYF that AM already had custody.
Don't make up stories just to bash Crystal.
There All responsible for not perfecting her Kayla get out its not right
Yes he needs to be sued and along with the cps that employed him and the judges that gave custody of her
