The way she's giggling and gaslighting the cops is SO eerie. Something is so wrong with this woman and I hope she's never in charge of children ever again. Her lights aren't on upstairs and I'm surprised at how long the cops were friendly with her.
The lady in charge is most likely able to pay her workers more money to be a part of this disaster, she is avoiding tax and making really high profits doing this while paying them cash on the side. I would imagine she give cash deals to a lot of her clients as well.
@@jasonolinger7585 And how much money exactly do you think someone is getting paid to have a daycare in a home that’s only large enough to legally have 6 kids? Come on now. She doesn’t even have enough to not be renting out the whole second house.
@@KaiLucasZachary Large houses you can have 14 kids in my state, her house is a large house, she is greedy at the end of the day. Are you trying to side with her?
Seeing the footage of the cop bending over the vent hole and hearing the piano music from down below is easily one of the most eerie things I've ever watched in one of these videos...
@@newbtube411it’s a different cry dummy there’s a cry kids have when their just regular mad or sad and then there’s ones when their actually scared or hurt if you have empathy you can tell the difference I don’t even have kids and I can tell the cry by how it sounds
@@kekoasiversons350I was thinking the same thing, the lack of knowing that there are different types of crying makes me hope that person doesn't have children. And they were probably crying because they were hurried into a dark basement. As an adult that'd scare me!
ALL of those women involved should be in jail for a long time. If I'm being told to hide children in a basement behind a secret door I'm calling the police right away.
I can tell you for a fact that every state in this country pays for children to be kept in much worse conditions than these. This really didn't look all that bad outside of the fact that they had to hide the kids from government officials because for some reason our government thinks they know how to care for our children better than us.
I'm a construction worker, i spend a lot of time staring at how things are built and put together. It's absolutely INSANE how that officer was able to spot that gap in the corner where the basement door was
I too have been in the construction industry for almost 30 years and when the cop pointed it out i had to rewind and look for myself. My next thought was that cop at one time had also been in the construction field and knew what to look for.
It's absolutely insane that there was any secret door to begin with. I can appreciate noticing the construction of it as someone familiar with all that, but I am absolutely shook that these women did something like this. Glad they were all caught. Personally, I think they got off light.
I spent the better part of a decade building houses, mostly custom, and didn't see it until he moved the plant. But I did notice the strange wall when they first entered the house. Just thought it was the backside of a closet from a room on the other side of the wall. That was a crazy secret door setup.
Nope, she payed astronomical figures for this by your own Gov. Want evidence? Look how many missing illegal kids are there? over 100k and those women like her are their keepers
the licencing agents were being very smug at first too. I get they did the right thing THIS TIME, but can we agree they love being all bossy and meddling everywhere?
Absolutely don’t trust these in home daycares like this. My ex’s mother was licensed to run one and was the horribly abusive parent I’ve ever known of first hand. Beatings bad enough to break bones, letting men sexually abuse her 4 daughters for money or drugs, covered up her father (their grandfather) sexually abusing them when he recorded it and she found the tapes. 20 years of CPS complaints and investigations, but she’s still allowed to run a daycare because all of the investigations were “inconclusive.” The girls rightfully took their mother’s threats seriously to hurt or kill them if they talked whenever she did get investigated. Between that and CPS here being beyond useless she got away with all of it.
will never trust day cares or in home baby sitters like this. too many bad experiences from when i was a child. i ran into my dads arms and told him please do not take me back here when he dropped me off one day and the babysitter beat and yelled at me telling me if i ever do something like that again there will be serious consequences. never really thought about that until now but fuck daycares
oh the law doesn't handle these people the way they should. The fact that this demon was giggling, smirking, laughing, and very light hearted about the entire situation is very very chilling. no, they deserve a van with no windows and a trip out to the woods.
Yup! If they admitted immediately to having all those kids, the business would be shut down but there would be no charges, probably. Hiding them in the basement though, lying to cops, having felons watching the kids, etc., oof. Insane. These are criminals and I’m so glad they were all punished. That stupid woman at the beginning could have easily just admitted everything but instead she lied and ended up sentenced to two years in prison. Wow.
So the woman with the glasses helped hide the children, had an active warrant out for her, had at least 1 illegal substance on her, AND tried to duck the charges by not appearing in court, yet she only received a 1 year sentence? WTF???
You really think prison is the solution to everything, huh. Apart from your emotions, what good does long prison sentences do? It's proven to not be a deterrent, it tends to turn people into more hardened criminals, more isolated from society, and it costs insane amounts of money - without having any positive impact on society. But hey - it's not as if any of that is a priority, for the throw-away-the-key folks.
@@ZimaCyberiaif you paid attention, when the officers entered the basement, the smell of soiled diapers was strong, and the children were all cramped together in a small space, a few of them crying for who knows how long. Is that not abuse? Neglecting to change them and holding them in a small space while I assume shushing them to avoid being found? Plus one parent claimed their child started having nightmares after their experience in the daycare and could no longer sleep in the dark. I’m not sure if these facts went over your head or if you’ve never cared for children, but I can clearly see why child abuse charges were filed based on what I’ve seen in the video, not to mention what was revealed by parents after the arrests. Also, don’t forget there were 25 babies being cared for by two people in that small house. Can you imagine having 25 very young children cramped together in a hidden basement, smelling of urine and feces and crying with only two women to console them, when it wasn’t necessary for them to be in that situation to begin with? That’s not abuse? I hope you don’t have kids.
Imagine if a fire had broken out. There would have been no way for these children to be rescued with only one exit, that was hidden, and no official knowledge of the amount of children there.
Oh god you just made me realise, can they even open it from down there? It was only blocked by a plant, so they SHOULD be able to, but the thought still gives me chills
That might very well have happened. Here in NC there’s registry called the “Responsible Individuals List,” or “RIL” for short. Once you’re in the list, you’re prohibited from a variety of activities, including childcare. Getting placed on the RIL list is a separate civil action that’s completely disconnected from the criminal charge, meaning that OP wouldn’t have been given that information when reading the court records for this set of criminal charges. In fact, it would’ve been unusual for RIL findings to have been included within the criminal file. Although the RIL list is specific to NC, most states have some mechanism of accomplishing the exact same thing. This is my long-winded way of saying you’re right and, fortunately, there’s a good chance that’s the case. Source: I’m a lawyer who handled DSS/CPS/DFS (the name varies by state) cases for a decade.
I was creeped out by Carla doing that, but I noticed that one of the licensing officers was doing it too. I noticed the officer first, before they found Carla. I thought it was pretty weird that there were two people like that in the video
I am sorry. 6 years in prison for 26 counts of child abuse? Maybe for the pawns in her scheme. But as the mastermind, this is criminal conspiracy and deserves much, MUCH more punishment
Thay were trynig to scam something Ibelive it was all for the greed of money. She shuld have got 26 years at least one year for each trauma is very cheap.
@@freemorox5896 I was waiting for someone to say this. If these were men doing this shit, you know them 6 years are about to multiply. Sick of this shit. This is why women constantly keep pulling outlandish shit like this, because there's little to no consequences to them 😒😑
A felony charge of child abuse without injury is so wrong. Those children clearly have mental health scars and will need support to deal with the nightmares and others fears
Yeah, that seems very very very suspicious. Why have a hidden basement in the first place. Something is very wrong about that. They need to be thoroughly investigated.
@@evietrimble7410 yeahhhhh. I'm actually seriously concerned with the fact the children turned out to have issues with sleeping in the dark. That place was horribly lit and obviously those women were mistreating them. The parents should EACH use that woman for trauma, neglect, aboose, false advertisement, and whatever else they could. This woman needs to be locked up for a LONG time.
@@evietrimble7410 No it doesn't. It means she has been busted before for hoarding children to make more money in her daycare business, I get why everyone is so appalled but all she did wrong was lying to police and infringement of her 6 children only licence, u just get emotional bc the basement thing evokes like a plot for horror movies etc. They were down there simply waiting for police to leave, it's not like they were chained down there or smth
A hidden door on it’s own isn’t suspicious, it’s actually a great way to protect yourself in a home invasion. Many people have bunkers and hidden doors and they’ve never ever considered breaking the law.
Yeah it’s funny because only employees act like that and claim ownership of stuff at work. Like when you work somewhere you say things like “sure you can use our phone” “ our bathroom is right there.” “Our intercom” that’s ownership you claim only by working somewhere. It’s so natural she couldn’t control it. But I’m glad you noticed cuz I immediately did too and also if she was a friend how would she even know it was turned off. There is something so creepy too about how Carla kept saying I’m sorry and acting so innocent and fake
@@sandyquino2015 absolutely! “I’m not an employee, just helping out today…and also I know a lot about the day to day workings of this place and have the number for the tenant in the front building.” 🤔
I just commented that before I saw your comment 😂 I was wondering if anyone else caught that cause she was quick with the “OUR intercom is broken” wasn’t she?
EDIT: Thank you, everyone, for all the love and kind words! Shortly after this all came out, I quit my job, and I have been a stay at home mom ever since! I made it work, and my husband landed a fantastic job that made this possible! I just had my 3rd baby, and they have never been left with anyone besides my parents! :) Please be kind, though. Not every mother or family can afford to stay home, and I've been very fortunate to be able to do this! Holy shit, this is the daycare I looked into to bring my 4 month old to!😳 I had a phone interview with her and was supposed to go meet her the next day, but decided against it BECAUSE she would not tell me the number of smaller children she had. Something didn't sit right with me, and being a first-time mom and already anxious about dropping my baby off, I decided to look into actual daycare centers. When this all came out, I literally cried my eyes out! Those poor children 😢
Thank God you listened to your gut and didn't bring your baby there. I would've cried too had I almost brought my baby there. just knowing how close you just escaped something so heinous makes it all the more real how vulnerable our little ones really are! God bless you and your little one.❤🙏🏻 hope (s)he is OK now wherever (s)he at!
I’m so happy you listened to your gut!! So often (especially as young girls) we were told to _be polite! Don’t offend someone! Don’t be mean! You are supposed to be kind!!’_ and what that told us was that the red flags our brain sends out are not to be trusted and especially when it comes to our own safety and that of our family, it can be difficult to squelch those lessons down and learn to trust what your instincts are saying. Good for you for listening!
Secret doors. Hidden children. No one answers the door. Man drives around the back to drop someone or some people off. Care givers can lie through their teeth. Multiple children’s bags hidden in closet. Multiple distressed children found in the basement. Punishment didn’t fit the crime, they should have got longer.
But I mean she was just not wanting to pay the fees for having to get licensed right? So why is this so horrible? All because Uncle Sam doesn't get his cut? & I mean I get as a mother or myself protocols exist for safety, but I mean people have always watched children without having to have a license. So if she would have had a license AKA would have paid the money to have a piece of paper saying she has a license - Then it would have been fine her having this many children. The cops& People over the license - are just being good little peasants working for Uncle Sam. Unless I'm missing something here.
@@WarmongerYT The big issue is hiding the kids and keeping them somewhere not approved. I'm certain that when you allow friends, family or whoever to watch your kid, you know where they are gonna be. The cops said many times that they weren't there for a licensing issue. Additionally many parents were complaining.
I mean, they lied about having more than the amount of children that they were allowed to have. I think there are four adults and 26 children. I think she’s getting like 26 years in jail. What exactly do you think the punishment should be for not following the regulations the government set up? The lying and hiding was the concerning part, I think that’s why they went after this so hard. Had she just had 10 kids over the limit and didn’t hide them and didn’t lie that’s still foolish, but not as scary or concerning there might have been more going on. I feel as if people are a bit out of touch with reality on this case. There are places that follow the rules, but the children are actually being mentally harmed or put in real danger but the boxes check better so the actual abuse is allowed according to the government who’s doing it. Even here diapers were not allowed to be changed by the government and while I agree with that choice to wait in this case during investigations that’s worse then anything actually found. Hospitals have unsafe ratios all the time. Do we shut those down? No they actually obey government ideas and do things that increase staffing shortages and dangerous situations by following their own guidelines instead of working on solutions better then the guidelines that aren’t best.
*6 years not 26. But I don’t think most people realize how bad the public school system and daycare’s are to think this is bad. Maybe y’all didn’t go to school.
As someone who experience abuse in a LICENSED daycare, I disagree. Her place looks so nice and well taken care of compared to what the government deems to be "safe" (licensing has to do with money, nothing more)
What kind of abuse did you suffer from your baby sitter? My twin brother did not suffer from deliberate baby sitter abuse, which is probably the worst, but suffered something very bad all the same. My parents were both working so they had employed a french au pair girl to take care of us 3 kids. one day she put my brother in the bathtub and opened the tap and left the bathroom to do something else. During her absence the temperature of the streaming water quickly rose to a point where my brother was being badly burnt. He was screaming at the top of his voice, my grandmother who was living downstairs realized that this was no normal child's crying and hauled him out of the bathtub, calling an ambulance, thereby saving his life. The au paiur girl apparently had serious mental health issues, my parents later discovered that her parents had been aware of this this but still hadn't hesitated to send her abroad as an au pair girl to look after children.
Now THIS is an amazing officer. She needs a medal for her absolutely STELLAR police work. Kudos on finding these kids, Officer. Keep following those instincts.
@@StarryNightt.they were missing. Nowhere to be found in the location where they last saw their child. Just because they weren’t missing for weeks or years doesn’t mean they weren’t missing. This is extremely traumatic for the parents and children.
@@B.b.b... I doubt it. She was so smug and self-assured. Her knowing there were 2 adults down there with the children would have given her more than enough confidence to continue to deny their existence even after being arrested.

I am not hard of hearing at all, but I do have to say I greatly appreciate your subtitles. Whoever you've hired to do them does a great job, and I love that you have them on your videos. It makes them more accessible to others and also helps keep things clear.
I actually am HoH and it's frustrating when videos don't have them because the auto versions really suck, list words wrong, or break up so much of what's said that it's illegible. Any channel that goes the extra length (wish I didn't have to say it like that because it should be standard practice) to actually be accessible makes me actually want to stick around.
The subtitles here are legit. I usually see them auto-generated... not by RU-vid but by the creator's software, however they opt to do it, and they're *horrible.* These however are great.
I was a daycare kid, but it was at my elementary school and the best experience ever. My neighbor's mom ran a daycare though. We were never allowed in the house during daycare hours, so we usually played in the front. Looking as an adult, I don't think I would have brought my kids there.

Yeah even without legal authority, the officers could have still instructed them to hand over their phones. They got lucky that the kids were just being held in the basement and not something worse. There are a lot of sick people out there. The cops should have been far more assertive or pursued an immediate warrant.
Bless those cops and social workers for being persistent and knowing they needed to check further. Forever grateful as a mom to have people like this that really check on their kids !
Exactly. Too many officers would've let it slide... I remember a case from 25 years ago, where two officers couldn't find the hidden room in the basement despite hearing the kids scream. So they wrote it up as "kids playing in the street making noise". A couple of months later, another team _did_ find the room after a confession that took days of heavy interrogation. He confessed because he assumed the girls must have been dead from starvation after so long. Yet they found them alive though just barely. The girls from the first search were found murdered months later. The psychopath lead the cops on wild goose chases, and every time the media stopped covering his shenanigans, he would give up something real, like the location of a next victim, names of accomplices,... The media indulged his sick craving for attention for years... Half of his victims would have been fine if we had persistent officers like the one in this video...
There was something happening here that was sinister. 4 women, 25 kids and hiding them. Kids having nightmares. A deep dive needs to be done by investigators.
Yes. People need to wake up and understand that this is a much bigger problem. These are organized rings where the so called "elites" can go and have their sick, twisted "fun". That is how you corrupt an entire political system, through bribing the most deprived, evil human beings. Research the "founders cult" if you have the stomach for it. They are using minors so young that they cannot comprehend or report to their parents. That "story" with the "pizza" and that "huge double door" (or another word for it - im not allowed to write it out here) but sadly, that stuff is true. Just like that "elite island" where "elites" where going. This sickening form of abuse has been going on, on mass, for at least 70 years. The people "working" here in this "daycare center" are most likely people who are themselves products of this "cult" / organisation and the breeding of "new humans" /"products". Brainwashed into this psychopathic and very evil system. Research the people close to bill and hillary. Who was her campaign-manager and his chief of staff? Why are they photographed along all these weird.. lets call them "artifacts" ? they call it "art". Why was Bill so many times recorded being on that very evil man's plane? ( You have to understand that I have to write like this for even stating these things) because the corruption is sooo deep. It's so sinister that most people can't even begin to understand or think about, how evil it is. It's systematic. Literately.

@@LumpyinAZ Agreed. For some of those kids to begin having nightmares at home, after being 'cared for' at this service, sends up all kinds of red flags to me.
@billyboblillybob344 no offense, but that's not correct at all. They definitely understand the difference between right and wrong. They just don't care. They don't feel guilt, shame, or remorse about breaking the rules. This woman obviously knew the difference, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such effort to obfuscate the truth. The difference between psychopaths and sociopaths is not their ability to differentiate between relativistic moral standards, but in their ability to form meaningful relationships. Sociopaths can feel emotional attachment and psychopaths cannot.
Back in 1984, my husband got off work early and decided to get our kids from the babysitter. One child was 3 years and one was just 6 months. When he got there, he didn't see the sitter's vehicle in the driveway, yet he could hear babies crying. My husband jumped the back fence and could see thru a window, our 6 month old was strapped in a car seat, on the floor and our 3 year old was wandering about. There was a 1 year old strapped in a car seat as well. That child belonged to my supervisor. Before my husband could break a window or bust down the door, Monica showed up with a minivan full of kids. Apparently, she had been leaving our kids alone so she could pick up the elementary students she watched after school. She claimed, if she brought the babies with her there wouldn't be room for all the other kids. My husband showed up at my work with all kids in tow, including my boss's child. My boss called the police.
It was a situation chock full of potential danger, especially with a druggy girl being the only person in direct control of the kids. I think twice the sentence Carla received, who was "the brains" of the crime, would have been justified. And she looked to me like she's had Botox and possibly facial surgeries.

I worked two full time jobs for 7 years so my wife could stay home and raise our kids. It was tough financially, but when I see things like this, I don't regret it.
That’s the only way a family should work. Good for you for being a great father and it’s amazing that your wife chose her kids instead of a career where she would be giving all the attention to a boss instead that to her own blood. It’s sad how things are in today’s world. Kids growing alone is the biggest reason for how bad society is right now.
For anybody who is confused why/ what is happening, why there are 26 kids, why they are in a basement, and so on... The establishment is only permitted to have up to 6 kids. They started taking MUCH more children than they were supposed to, obviously because more kids = more money. The kids were likely up top until a licensing official showed up after a parent raised some concerns. They swiftly brought all the kids downstairs to avoid suspicions, and that's why the hidden door was made so flush and easy to miss, just for occasions like this. A lot of people were thinking this was some kind of trafficking scheme, which is unlikely. But this is definitely quite repulsive, and unfortunately, this type of thing isn't particularly uncommon. ALWAYS do thorough research on a daycare before leaving your children with them.
Absolutely yes. Kids are fragile, bad experiences stay with you merely your whole life. It’s not ok to cause that or act cavalier about it with someone.
Depends on the state you're in. I live in the South and Southern states are known for giving harsher sentences than others. Look at Florida, for instance, where they cut out early release on parole. My city/county stopped giving bail/bond to violent offenders. We need a bigger jail now.
@@howdie729 Exactly. Calm. Collected. Unaffected. All the while appearing charming, friendly, helpful and smiling all the while lying smooth as silk. Definitely a sociopath.
Please help me understand …. They can hear a young child inside, parents confirmed their child was there that morning…. how was that not enough PROBABLE CAUSE to immediately enter the home when no one was answering the door??
these are my same thoughts exactly.... everything she and the other people are doing, saying are inconsistent and their actions are being deceptive, suspicious... why she was released from being handcuffed is the most confusing... *( to clarify I am refer to when she was non cooperative when questioned about the noise coming from the vent from an obvious basement)
Sadly a lot of the time you need to see physical harm or a crime being presently committed to be seen as probable cause. It's messed up and shouldn't be that way but that's the way it is right now
Police try to be particularly careful with such case because they don't want to risk the offenders being able to evade prosecution due to a mistake made in the legal process.
For the officer, there wasn't probable cause of an actual crime occurring. Legally, the woman is allowed to be watching a number of children. Welfare checks are oftentimes not answered, but police still can't barge in without probable cause of a crime, like seeing blood through a window. If police get to hasty, and barge in when they shouldn't, a lot of the evidence could have been inadmissible. Thankfully they remain suspicious and did whatever they could to get to the bottom of it, instead of just walking away and saying their hands were tied. They waited until they were able to find someone who stayed there and asked to come inside, since there wasn't enough for them to go in without that. The actual probable cause didn't appear until they saw evidence of multiple children and hearing things within the vents.
I would say they have to be careful, if no-one's answering the door there's the possibility no-one is there, could have taken the kid to the park and left the tv on, hearing a child inside could as easily be hearing a child on the tv unless they get eyes on. They have to be careful to make sure the culprits don't get off on a technicality. I think they should have detained them and taken phones off them as soon as there was proof she'd lied and there was a child on the property, would've stopped her texting the ones hiding
@DeathMonkeys they should have been put in cuffs and detained immediately!!! There's no excuse for letting them wander around and text on their phones.
They might just playing with them. Let them texting knowing that all data can be found or recovered and the information could help them build their case. Who would you text at that moment? possibly someone who could be a person of interest at least. More material for further investigation probably.
@@Robert-nu4vc Uh yes there is, they’re called civil liberties. Like I understand the emotions this video invokes but we have laws and due process for a reason.
She really lies effortlessly, but not well. You could smell the panic on her.

That's on the very low end here in Colorado. Scary.
so she illegally cares for too many kids, buys a fake house, rents it to a fake lady so she can store the children in the basement....it also seemed like she had another day care somewhere else...even if she paid these ladies 30k a year she'd still make 300k a year
@@odesangel the fact that she knew to use the word teamwork and the amount of fear she had was creepy. The hidden door was extreme.. the woman isn’t dumb and you’d think that she would just tell the cops and lose her business. But the hidden door is hard to notice.. that man in the car. Something else is going on. Those kids are being abused in the worst way. Carla is way more scared than someone who’d be in trouble for having too many children at a daycare.
I find it amazing that both of the woman were aloud to keep on texting on their phones throughout,so obviously sending instructions to the other women.
Yes I was angry about they kept on their phones ,was not even responding to the police ,these women should get time and do more time then they got ,disgusting the things these people will do for money
Hearing stories of child abuse, really makes me sad for the kids. Coming from someone who suffered from an abusive daycare attendant I can tell you I still have nightmares of that woman even as an adult,so it’s no surprise to me that these monsters left a negative impact on the children. I hope they got the help they needed.
Hearing them say "Let's say the kids are at the park" right on camera, then immediately trying to use that excuse is so stupid. Idk if that's more stupid or how they basically got a slap on the wrist for what is considered kidnapping and harboring
Yea like plan was to get the cops to follow them to the park.. and then say. oh I just got a text . 2 of my employees told me they just returned home from the park... then have everyone go back to the house with all the kids in the house? Stupid batshit crazy attempt to cover up
This woman is very mentally unstable... the way that she was giggling is unsettling. I fully believe that she will attempt to do something like this again.
I hate to seem wrong butcTHEYRE ACTING LIKE DEADLY LEASBIANS IVE SEEN doin this stuff w childcare& 4 sum reason THEY SEEM TO ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE TAKING KIDSTO THEM! Usually its ALSO LESBIAN OR GAY PARENTS bringing thm kids getting a cutt of the FUNDS! Disgusting & sad!
@@elgumbo4036you’ve seen a lot of deadly lesbians doing this to children? Can you send me some links or info to the police reports? Surely if you saw something so concerning, you’d contact the proper authorities. :)
@@elgumbo4036 anyone can be a creep, regardless of their gender, race, religion, or preferences. Let's look at the majority of people: straight. Let's now look at a majority of traffickers: straight. Stop trying to demonize an entire category of (gay) human beings and focus, as law enforcement does, on the real problem: human traffickers. You have 0 grounds for pinning all or even a majority of this crime on gay folks. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you this brainwashed by alt-right media?
It must have been. Daycare is a lucrative business. All these kids must have made her a bunch of money. The basement must have been for hiding kids from other parents and unwanted visitors. Thank God for the police and licensing officers for not giving up that easily.
I really just watched all this to find out children were at daycare, in a finished basement, all the parents knew where they were, but some of them were afraid of the dark and so 4 women went to PRISON? Are you kidding me?
@johnreed2278 I worked in social services, and there are people who do their jobs. This is exactly what they're getting paid to do, and they should be doing it bc they care. They took care of this b. I often did pop-up visits.
I worked in a daycare before and licensing was always very on top of their jobs and strict about the rules being followed to the T. Sometimes it felt like they were just picking on us with certain non important things, but at the end of the day I'd much rather have that than someone not taking it seriously
She should have put her emotions in check and not told Carla EVERYTHING they knew so far at that point. That’s when the music stops playing and Chrissy blocks the would-be door with her body.
Remember though: it was based on a parent asking for a WELLNESS CHECK. Otherwise, maybe it would not have been caught. This is vital and valuable and we should all thank this parent - even if she was prompted to do it. I wonder if neighbors had noticed all this trafficking as well as kids were dropped off and picked up, that probably wasn’t entirely quiet with so many kids. STAY ALERT and even if she says she is “licensed” still look into it. She was only licensed for TWO, not TWENTY.
Because all she did was hide them in a finished basement. They weren’t tortured, tied up or physically abused. Also all they did was follow their boss’s orders 🤷🏻♀️
@@sal_xoxo5166 you sound like you're defending that she only got a year in jail when she clearly should have received much more. You scare me and are probably very much like this lady.
kidnapped? I mean, it's BAD because so many lies had been told to everyone, misrepresentation to all the parents who didn't know how many kids were there, so because she chose to break the licensing laws, she also was sneaking and hiding them. Never good. This is definitely creepy, but I do believe every one of the parents dropped their kids off every day expecting a smaller daycare. She went around the rules and had more kids and extra staff she didn't report, to make more money...
I was in a pre-school daycare at least a few years when I was a child. I visited it when I was an adult by happenstance while working my way through college. The owner family and son remembered me. I was being bullied in the play yard and they taught me how to fight. So, no one messed with me after that. I remember it well. I had a huge birthday party there, and my mom had pictures and I kept them until I was an adult, after she passed away. The sleeping area was huge but not in a much bigger than all the rooms in that house. There were about 25 kids in that day care. There was a large outside gated playground, so by the time we finished playing, we were exhausted and everyone went to sleep. I had my first girlfriend there, and I met her parents, but I don't remember even seeing her during sleep time, so the boys and girls must have been separated. I remember being very protective of her. We didn't have a basement and the place was still operating when I visited it, 20 years later. There were white, black and hispanic kids at that daycare. I have fond memories of that place.
I live in Colorado Springs and I am SO glad you covered this! Local news hasn't shed much light on this situation since it occurred and I've been dying to know what actually happened.
@@northstar6580 I don’t think she was abusing them physically as they said it was the fact that she had so many! If there had been a fire they wouldn’t be able to get them all out fast enough. On top of you are supposed to have so many caretakers per 10 kids or what ever and if she had 25 she should have had way more especially if they were babies!
It said the parents were stating their kids were having nightmares, not wanting to be in their room at night by themselves, wanting to sleep with mom and dad, waking up in the middle of the night....sooo, WHAT was happening in the basement that caused children to act like that??? There is waaay more to this story. What were they doing to those children during the day that would cause children to act like that? I can bet it would make all of us sick to our stomach.
💯 %‼️ That’s exactly it. She had no qualms *whatsoever* about completely bullshitting them! The way she was creepily smiling, while playing all “who me-I’m harmless” 😬 🤮 It made me think of how Ted Bundy must have acted when he’d wear a fake cast then coerce a young woman into helping him put something in his car- right before he bashed them over the head so he could rape & murder them. She’s dangerous.
One of the most disturbing things about her was the ease that she lied to police. Lies roll off of her tongue like butter because she lies all of the time. Her previous record said everything you have to know about her.
Our system is totally broken when someone can be found guilty of TWENTY SIX CASES of child abuse and serves no time. Disgusting miscarriage of justice with all three of these vile women.
Yeah that blew my mind as well and I'm sorry but you know there was much more going on with those kids and the abuse if this is just bare minimum they probably just scratch the surface of the abuse that was going on. Especially the one lady who had a controlled substance on her!!! A place this big, the first red flag for me as a parent or grandparent is why isn't there any cameras where I can monitor them through my phone if I'm at work? If you don't have that system in place you're not watching my child or children. Luckily my two daughters are now adults and I had my parents when I was younger and working. My daughter already knows no one watches my grandkids but me they've never had to deal with daycare fortunately. I know many parents don't have that luxury, but in 2024 we do have the luxury of buying the tiniest of sizes and cameras that we can put on our kids and at least a week here and there do a test run to check on your child there is nothing wrong with that. I'm not sure about the wiretap and some states some are one party state somewhere to mine in Ohio is one party state. However if you live in a two-party state Just check our laws applying to that situation because it could be you could do recording without audio or something like that there's always a way.
@@jenniferkline4196 The main woman I could see being convincingly sweet. She is a very skilled liar and manipulator if this video is any indication. I’m sure she easily took advantage of these parents. You cannot put video cameras in someone else’s home. And daycares with continuous monitoring can be very expensive. I dont think there’s any indication these parents didn’t do their due diligence. Even the cop remarked at how nice the space was. Evil people that are determined to hurt kids will find a way.
the fact that they are texting like crazy the whole time and making calls for sure makes this feel like child trafficking as if they are warning their "business partners" or maybe alerting their God forbid "customers" ugh this is sickening
@@Kitsuragi556 Depends where you're from. A life sentence is not natural life in most countries. A life sentence is 25 years in Australia, but only 15 years in some countries
it’s such a weird response to a fact-based question “I don’t have any lemonade to give you, I’m so sorry” makes sense. “I forgot to send the payment, I’m so sorry” makes sense. “There’s no basement, I’m so sorry… there are no kids here, I’m so sorry” makes NO SENSE
Y'all are wild. 6 years in prison, and having to live a post prison felony life is more than enough punishment for that girl over running her daycare and freaking out when police and licensing got there. Her charge if she just wouldn't have hid them would have been far more minimal, and the other girls doubtfully would have been charged. It's ridiculous how drug dealers are punished, but this is beyond "justice".
@@NickBirge exactly I had to go read about this case after watching a few minutes of this video, but that lady was just dumb. She wasn’t trying to abuse those kids she was worried about her license and all the parents chose to put the kids there and they knew it the video makes it seem like it’s some kind of child trafficking thing which it wasn’t. She should get in trouble, but her attention wasn’t as evil as all the comments are trying to make out.
Yeah, if anything the sentence might be too _harsh_. No evidence was found that the children were abused, caregivers were available throughout, and the extreme cost of childcare for young children (especially not toilet trained) children is well known. I don't see anything here that is so horrible to justifiable harsher sentence.
You're reading too much into the term "child abuse" and assuming stuff that wasn't there. It was "abuse without injury" and it consisted of having the kids shush for an extended period (at least an hour), and possibly lack of sufficient supervision (since apparently they were unable to change the diapers). There was no evidence of anything physical. 6 years seems pretty hefty just for that, but there was also the obstruction and whole hidden basement thing (not illegal in itself but super weird and evidence of malicious intent) so I don't mind them throwing the book at her.
As a former preschool teacher this made me burst in to tears. Credit to that officer and those licensing officers keeping their cool because I would have been sobbing and tearing that house apart trying to find those kids.
I guarantee most of the parents are part of the problem. They just go with the cheapest daycare to save a few bucks without checking things out. I'm sure most, if not all, the parents knew the daycare was over the limit.
@@M_SCI think her age is the least of her issues. She seems psychotic to be herding kids into a basement like animals to avoid being able to continue to run a daycare that will lose its license the minute the state figures out there were kids being neglected there.
Well done guys for not giving up finding those children ! The police officer discovering the door was fantastic intuition 👏 great job hopefully the children are in a happy safe daycare now
As a kid who lived in foster care for a few years with horrible abusive people. It’s nice to see the licensing person doing something good. I remember the people that picked me up. Didn’t really care about me. Just dropped me off at our house and looked at me like just a piece of paper. I stayed at five different houses. Four of them were very bad and horrible/abusive. The last one I stayed at were some of the nicest people I ever met. So I know not every family is bad but I don’t know. I guess I’m just talking about the licensing person. Those companies are so overwhelmed, especially with foster care and I’m not saying she works with foster care, but it just made me think about it.
So sorry for ur abuse in Foster care ! I agree Foster Care is awful too!! It needs to be redone n for the best it's the worse n has been for yrs n yrs !;!
I'm also a victim of child abuse by daycares. A lady recommended a friend to my mother when I was 6, saying that she could take care of me from 16 Pm to 19 Pm every school day. My bus would drop me in front of her house with some other kids, and the nightmares started. She was rude, she was hateful, saying all the time she didn't like children and we were just little pests etc. She had a hidden room called the "Punishment room" in the basement (idk the word but it was hidden in the ceiling, not in the ground), accessible only with a ladder. She would lock you in for hours if you did something she didn't like, I remember beeing locked there alone because I told her I couldn't eat fish (I was allergic but didn't know the word at the time), so she locked me in TIED with a rope. I remember crying and asking where my mother was. I didn't realize I was abused yet because I didn't know what abuse was, I was made friend with her son which was "normal" and everything she'd do was considered normal too. She used to slap kids, force them to eat for hours, insult them. I'm 27 now and I know she lost her job when parents started complaining, but I'll never forget her and I regret not beeing smart enough to tell my mom what happened. I used to complain not wanting to go there but my mom was raising me and my little sister alone and I didn't want to trouble her...
I am so sorry! It was actually due to me going on a ride along with my social worker cousin that I met a young teen boy who we had to drive him from foster home to Group home where he would age out. So that is when I made the decision to adopt older kids in foster care. My kids were 6 and 4 now 15 and 13. It could have turned out very differently for them like so many other poor kids in the system.
This is exactly why I retired and became a granny nanny for my son and DIL. I'm the only caregiver those two grandbabies have ever known. I thank God every day for that privilege. The women in this video should have gotten at least one year for EACH abuse charge conviction. They got off way too easy.
That's true, but then again, if the police weren't banging on the door to enforce a licensing requirement, they wouldn't have been holed up in the basement.
@@xmurrcattx3498 The olfactory evidence alone proves that that basement was used a LOT. There's furniture down there. Think that's just for visual appeal??
@@xmurrcattx3498 It's almost as if the licensing requirement is a standard metric for whether someone is capable of taking care of children professionally? She CHOSE to put those kids down there rather than owning up to her own wrongdoing. The cops showing up are not a valid reason for doing what she did. That's like saying, "If the cops didn't pull me over on the road, I wouldn't have had to flee, endanger lives, and end up in a deadly accident because I was running from the cops." Plus, it was a SECRET DOOR. Standard houses don't come with secret doors to basements. She KNEW what she was doing. Either she had that installed, or she used it for her own advantage. That isn't the first time she's hidden kids down there.
thats a good point the window downstairs is blocked by the padio, it wouldnt meet the minimum 2 fire escapes per room, calling for removal of the padio and a hefty fine
Her giggling and gaslighting the cops is downright eerie. There's clearly something off about her, and I hope she's never allowed near children again. It's shocking how long the cops stayed friendly with her.
This entire scene was ominous. The home/daycare owner feels like a horror movie villain. All else aside, why is the false door and secret room necessary?! Scary! 🥺
THis is much darker. THis was a place that (most likely) operated a bit like that Ep Island. Ask: Why did she just so haaappen to also own the next door house? Have secret doors? Surely, this was not a case of a daycare-owner just not wanting to "loose her licens". This is much more sinister. This was a place where blackmailed, molesters - people in dark, underground organisations - could come and ... "have fun". There's reasons why the parents reported nightmares. Parents usually don't "report" that because their child a couple of times had a bad dream. No. There's a reason why this scene was so , SO "ominous". There's a reason why you look in these people's eyes and it's like looking straight into a hungry predators, a psychopathic mind. There's a reason why they can lie so effortlessly, straight to peoples faces. This is stuff that have been going on for decades. You can even find testimonies and press conferences, where police-investigators have dedicated their lives to under-covering this... Systemic "trafficking" problem of very 'young people'. That unholy island with that Stein-person, that was ONLY the very tip of the iceberg. The 3letter agencies are also in on it, so imagine how rare it is for anything to be uncovered? They ONLY let that happen when it's So out in the open, that there is no other way, like with that island. But yes. Go research how Bill and hill were best friends with this ep person, how royals could come and use minor - s , and then ask yourself, how much more skeletons are under that iceberg?
@@maezzologymedia14 you just saved me days unend trying to pull the reasons together ... you explained much of it within a readable sized paragraph. i know about everything you texted but i couldn't attach it to this strange " home day care center". im shocked that there were no injuries on the children, i was relieved and grateful but more confused than before. usually with sinister abuse like that , there is often traces of injuries and often on their bums or privies. thankfully that had not advanced to that yet and were rescued in time!
My twin brother suffered something potentially much worse as a child. My parents were both working so they had employed a french au pair girl to take care of us 3 kids. one day she put my brother in the bathtub and opened the tap and left the bathroom to do something else. During her absence the temperature of the streaming water quickly rose to a point where my brother was being badly burnt. He was screaming at the top of his voice, my grandmother who was living downstairs realized that this was no normal child's crying and hauled him out of the bathtub, calling an ambulance, thereby saving his life. The au paiur girl apparently had serious mental health issues, my parents later discovered that her parents had been aware of this this but still hadn't hesitated to send her abroad as an au pair girl to look after children.
