I've not gotten to that part in the video, but that's hard call bc of children being rough and get hurt alot on their legs especially but then again their are places that kids tend to get hurt in spots over other parts and the behavior and stuff also plays into that also , so if it wasn't something that wasn't an odd place then I can see where a hospital didn't call but if it's a regular thing or just not right or the other things as cleanliness behavior how the parent acts etc... but I haven't got to hear how it was in this case yet...
@@heatherking8689 Really! Every parent knows that children get bruises and falls sometimes but there’s a huge difference in the marks and the change in their behaviour. It’s not difficult to see something is causing them trauma!
@@heatherking8689 I've read your entire comment. I don't think its EVER "a hard call", you can tell the difference between getting hurt playing & being abused. They're trained to identify these things & they're mandated reporters.
@AliceA333 My first sentence says , how I've not gotten far into the video, so I hadn't seen or heard the full situation about the bruises and stuff , I was speaking from just the summary towards the very beginning. So with that I also said now of the bruises and marks are in odd places that most of the time doesn't have them from just being a clumsy rough kid , or their behavior isn't right or if it's an on going thing .. Meaning that when there is other things besides just mild bruises is when one knows its more than being a kid type situation...So if the hospital doesn't see those things it's a hard call sometimes bc for one they don't spend enough time with obsessiving them for those things to present , bc most abusers are able to not raise attention long enough when it isn't extremely apparent right off.
I love that we didn't have to hear every but of the translation, only when the dad was testifying. It is hard for me to listen when 2 languages and multiple people are speaking at the same time.
Attorney Gillespie, PLEASE do not leave this man and his children behind. Please continue to fight alongside him. I would love to donate if dad needs help with legal funds.
She kept her daughter home because she was waiting for the swelling and bruises to go down!😡 Imagine how bad it was that the little girl was still crying and hurting days later. She was pregnant, in physical pain and lost her mother and cousin...she was depressed and stressed and took it out on them babies. My heart breaks for dad and the fact that he had to do some jail time...she is EVIL!!! Thank God for the teacher that testified on his behalf. Ugh..then she tried claiming everything from abuse from him to almost grape to her auntie beat them but she didn't see it. I pray those kids never have to see her again.
I would like to know the outcome that’s the only issue I have with them court channels we never know the final verdict ,😂i just set myself up for a disappointment 😮
My father was a full-time single dad. He never even got back into any kind of relationship either, even though I thought it would have been nice for him to have a lady friend. He decided to just focus on the family. He was and is a great father and grandfather.
The fact that the mom only talked about herself and never about the children. The FACT she made up a random person that beat her kids for no reason. Didn't see any bruises. He never said anything about her except related to his children. He is genuin. She is full of it.
She literally said “I love my kids but at the same time…” that was all I needed to hear. Like what ?! She’s a true nutcase ! I don’t believe A SINGLE WORD that came out of her mouth, not even her “health issues”. She’s full of it & should be prevented from having ANY contact with those children period !! She’s a monster & so is anyone that stands beside her.
Nina Reid is one of the most articulate people. “Troubling, disturbing, struggling, instability, difficult”. Non-judgmental statements. We need more social workers like her to help the kids who are growing up in terrible conditions and become unstable adults.
@TheUglyTruthWriterOfficialshe can’t directly say they were abused in court unless she has witnessed it. She can only speak on what she has seen herself
Dude rhis translator is a beast!! Normally I don't like watching translated court videos because they're so choppy but this one had a great system down and made it easy to follow. She is worth whatever they're paying her plus more.
Female entitlement bestowed by society. Mothers are golden, fathers are garbage despite whatever situations, environment, or harm moms put the children through. Children are destroyed before allowed to grow by Insisting that mothers are the fittest parents to raise a child. When we dismiss that misconception, only then can we begin protecting children.
She will be. This was just the TPO/Family Plan civil case. Lawyers will often start the case off in civil court because it's a lower standard. It goes by preponderance of the evidence. Criminal is beyond a reasonable doubt. Lawyers start things off in civil court to see if they win and if they do they bring criminal charges after. Guaranteed she's going to jail either for neglect or abuse of children. And I think she's lying. First of all, she said she didn't know about the bruises. But then went on to say that she was told about the roommate hitting her kid. She contradicts herself. And two, what mother on God's green earth doesn't know when her child is being beaten in the same house that she lives in. How did she square away her children crying? How did she square away the dirtiness of her kids? How did she not see the bruises when the children were getting dressed? The only parents who are oblivious to that are drug addicts. At best, she neglected her kids and put them in a dangerous situation with a person that beat her children. At worst, she did it herself and is full-on lying about everything. Either way, she shouldn't have custody or unsupervised visitation. The best she can hope for is supervised visitation. At worst, she'll go to prison and have no contact at all. There is nothing worse than a mother who beats her children. Or who allows her children to be beaten. Those children will have to go through DECADES of therapy to deal with what was done to them. Hopefully the dad can provide the love and support that they so desperately need and also get a good therapist to help them deal with this. If not, they'll either end up doormats or criminals for the rest of their lives. Women like that make me sick.
They need to do a welfare check on her other children IMMEDIATELY!! I had that fear feeling in my stomach seeing her get angrier & angrier knowing there are 2 helpless children with her that are going to get the brunt of that 😢 she is definitely an abuser!!
Yes she is doing nothing but the flexing how do you not know that your children have bruises on you and what does being pregnant have to do with you hitting your kids She is not answering these questions at all because she knows she's wrong
One of the scariest things i heard so far . . . She just had another baby. Good for dad for advocating and protecting his children. Now im worried about that baby who has no voice.
@@AdamJ09303 true, but this mother now has a history on paper and the courts. This father will have a easier go of things. It won’t take as long. Baby won’t suffer as long. If father cares he can get custody of the child as a baby as a infant. Let’s pray he cares like this father does. Amd court orders her to tie her tubes!
Child protective services will step in and take the baby. The Judge and the attorney will see to that. This mother needs to stop having kids. She most likely is doing it for the govt benefits and child support.
That poor man. He was trying so hard not to cry when he put his head in his hands. When he spoke it was like he was in a panic. She manipulated her way into putting him in jail for something that he didn't do and then had to watch when he got out as she abused his children. The criminal justice system needs to reopen the file for the dad and his case and issue him an apology for letting this happen. Guaranteed if he hadn't gone to jail he would've noticed sooner and gotten them out faster. This is what happens with family courts and how they screw dads over so badly. You could see the judge looking grim and horrified that this happened. She knows that the courts facilitated this. She can't say it but she put down the hammer as much as she could. She even asked the lawyer if he plans on going for criminal charges. Guaranteed she's going to write down at length about this so that the courts get a full picture when that happens. Judge Manning absolutely hates it when children are abused due to the justice system not doing their jobs right.
I applaud Mrs Reed for her noted concern of the childrens welfare ❤❤❤. Many turn a blind eye and act like the abuse is not happening or they don't want to get involved 😢😢
I agree. How careful and articulate she was. It made her testimony even more compelling. I detected no deflection or judgement from her. I'm real glad to see a person like her caring for children.
I am really glad courts are realizing that sending kids to mom is not always the best choice. Mr. Lanche is the parent these kids need. I hope they can heal and grow up healthy and happy.
You have to have a woman witness who will vouch that the man is okay and the mom is pure evil. If you don't have a woman, the believe all women rules require Dad be sanctioned for testifying contrary to the truth all women inherently bring to court. Had she not partially confessed, it would have gone nowhere and those kids would have been taught never to testify against a woman.
Yep the man usually always gets screwed be it custody or just plain divorce and finances. Quite often providing the woman with a great life then getting lied on, kids taken, mentally/emotionally abused while losing at least half of everything you own and worked for. No fault states are even worse. It should automatically be 50/50 custody unless other variables are involved. I will say judge manning is one of the better judges that seem to be pretty good at giving the best parent the upper hand. I have seen her find in favor of the father more often than not.
@@ED-es2qv Bullshit, but nice try. All it takes is the dad actually being a decent human being who actually wants the kids and is able to care for them.
Every excuse in the book not to take responsibility. First she says she didn't know. Then she tries to shift blame to the dad. Then she claims her roommate did it. She contradicts herself constantly. And it's all about her. She's pregnant. She has health issues. NOTHING about the poor children and what they've gone through. Nothing about how they're feeling or how sorry she is for letting it happen, if not doing it herself outright. She's so narcissistic I wanted to vomit. That woman should be sterilized and only have court-supervised visitation with the kids she's had. It's disgusting that women like that can have all the kids they want while there are good people out there who can't have them. She would've been better off if she had just apologized and promised it wouldn't happen again. If she had followed what the judge said and worked towards getting better the judge might've been a little lenient on her. But because she refuses to take responsibility, the judge threw the book at her. So selfish.
This translator is the best of the best! She got all tangled up and everything! Thank you ma’am we appreciate you speaking for this father and helping him get his kids! 🙌🏿😭🙌🏿😂🥰
Its not his first language and i am sure he wanted to 100% understand what is being asked and he wanted communication to the best for his situation.@@sheslikethewind8999
We should NEVER need an Interpreter in America as we speak ENGLISH! ANY illegals or new immigrants Should absolutely be required to learn & speak Fluent English, and to leave their old Country’s traditions behind them and adopt ONLY American Traditions! It’s a problem with all these illegals coming here and not even speaking our language, or respecting our Traditions! And their Anchor babies should also be required to do those things as well!
@@sheslikethewind8999because if his native tongue is Spanish that is what language he is most comfortable with normally. He may know how to speak English but when someone is overwhelmed or upset it's a lot harder to switch languages and be able to truly explain and articulate how you feel. My family immigrated from Mexico and they all learned English but when we were all together and things get heated or passionate everyone was speaking Spanish or broken English and Spanish mixed. If he takes this as seriously as he says then he didn't want to even risk not being able to communicate his feelings properly to native English speakers.
Anytime a mother is exposed for being the abuser and risks losing her kids, she claims abuse, and all kinds of victim cards. Shes shocked that shes caught
So very sad. This father has been at the mercy of a language barrier. Even with all the photos and hospital visit reports and TWO DFACS safety plans. These children suffered in the meantime. Thankfully he has great representation now that will help him navigate the process, which is difficult enough without a language barrier! So much respect for Judge Manning, as always!!
You can see Gillespies sincerity too, esp when he called out the bs the justice system could get folks who don't speak English well. He was fired up 😆 and he's down to help him to the end. If only all attys are like that, it'd be a better world (look at me dreaming) 😆
Ms Reid seems to be an absolute angel of a woman. 😇 Not only facilitating this program for these children, but she seems to really care for all of those children.😊 She certainly seemed to show more emotion regarding the litigants' children than the mother did 😢
She needs to be charged, lose parental rights. I am terrified for the new baby she just had. She can't abuse the kids cause she was pregnant. What a load of shit. This woman is garbage.
When the attorney said "non responsive" Mom totally did not understand that she was LOSING big time. As she should! Anyone that would allow someone else/"a friend" to beat her children and not report that person the the authorities?!?! Im so glad these kids get out but what about the others?
@@UniqueMccrimon I hope and pray that YOU take parenting classes and instead of harassing everyone in these comments, perhaps use the time to better yourself and the lives of your children. Also, maybe take note that just because it’s on zoom, that it is still a court hearing and one should dress presentable.
Mom (I use that term loosely) is a piece of 💩 that takes up space and tries to breathe air that someone productive could be using, she doesn't matter but her children do
She can't hit her kids because she's pregnant? Ma'am 🤨you do everything while pregnant, there is rarely a day that you are not pregnant. STOP GETTING PREGNANT, FFS! 😖
I thought that was particularly creative. Like she can't hit a child when she's pregnant. I've heard of mothers punching their husband's lights out while they're giving birth. What a stupid excuse. Guaranteed she was trying to gain sympathy with that card.
This mother should lose custody of her kids because she allowed someone or herself to abuse these kids. The girl should be checkout for sexual abuse as well. I hope the father gets full custody with a supervised visit for the mother.
I dont believe that she should even be granted supervised visitation, at least until she gets some extensive anger management, parenting courses, and psychological help. My heart broke while listening to this hearing. Those poor kids have experienced so much trauma in such a short span of life. I truly hope they are able to heal in order to thrive and live happy/safe lives.
@@piva1358 oh gosh! I pray that’s not the case! Praying for this little girl that she has more time in the innocence of childhood and that nothing like that has happened to the children…especially the little girl, but any of them! The sad truth is not only girls are sexually abused!
Judge Manning looks like she wants to jump through the screen after seeing those pictures. BRAVO to Mr. Gillespie for representing this father who is just trying to protect his children!! Give me 10 minutes with that "woman" please!!!!
I ❤️ Judge Manning. I noticed her demeanor change real quick after seeing those pics. She was definitely livid and believes nothing the Mother has said. BTW: She talked all about the $$$ she has spent on them. Guess what? I grew up with an extremely abusive mother who bought me things all the time. She made sure I was dressed perfectly and I got my hair done at a salon frequently. Mommy Dearest vibes, huh? I use to wish to be poor with a mother that loved me. Love, Respect, Consistency and Discipline goes a long way.
The so called mom showing up for court in a robe is just a inkling in showing just how much respect, intelligence, or responsibility she has for herself so I'd hate to even imagine what she does too or for those innocent children!
LMFAO at the comments here I was all distraught and then you guys with the shower cap jokes making me laugh We obviously are dedicated viewers and all know the reference Pearl's mom 🤣🤣🤣😎
@goofball1123 Your comment just made me burst out lmfao in a zoom meeting and I was asked if I'd like to share so screw it I posted the entire video and our comments on the screen and my boss and coworkers all started lol! Please keep that sense of humor you are hilarious! 😄😅😂🤣
You can see the anger welling up in judge Manning! She has my utmost respect for holding her tongue! I don’t know if I could do that! She is an amazing judge and her protection of kids is amazing. She literally had to put her eyeglasses in her mouth to stop profanity and threats from flying out!!!! Judge Manning please protect these little angels!
I know! There was a part when dad is giving his testimony about the kids bruises and judge took off her glasses turned the other way and rubbed her face in anger.
Love this judge! One of my faves to watch! She really does care About EVERYONE who comes before her! So many other judges just see them as another case before them. She's the best!❤❤
Man, you could see the grim look on her face. She was burning mad on that one. I thought it was particularly beautiful when she asked her pointedly "Maam, what do you have to say about the bruises on your children?" Passive-aggression at its finest. Mom should've just shut up at that point and said she was sorry. Instead, she kept trying for excuse after excuse. That mom dug her own grave and Judge Manning threw the book at her. She even asked the lawyer if they were pressing criminal charges. Like wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
I pray that the court system will recognize more that a Mother isn't always the best option. Fathers can be great parents and Mothers can be abusive. The Attorney for the Father, the translator and the Judge are awesome in this case. Children are precious gifts from God and should be loved and cherished forever.
I would like to first thank Tristan for stepping up and helping this father. The mother absolutely knew where the bruises came from, she spoke only of herself not caring at all about those babies. I hope those babies can finally have some peace and start living a life in a happy, loving and positive environment they deserve nothing short of an amazing life. FULL CUSTODY FOR DAD.
First, the Best interpreter I've ever seen!! She was tangled and twisted all up but she was translating smoothly and professionally during something so emotional. Mom just had another kid..hope children's services get in there fast. May God bless this man and his children. Thankfully the school and this attorney can see the truth and are helping him.
This mother ……and I use that term lightly……… is atrocious. What a lying,horrid person she is. There’s a special place in hell for abusers. I hope the father can keep getting GOOD people in his corner and I wish him and his children all the best in life. Watching this has been absolutely 💔. Abuse makes me so damn angry.
The dad's testimony is specific, detailed, and focused on the kids. The mom's testimony is scattered, lacking specificity, and focused on her abilities as a person. She claims to have let someone else watch the kids and didn't press charges for abusing them?!
She looked angry through most of this hearing. Her "tears" didn't seem to be genuine- as far as being upset about the kids. Maybe her tears were from her anger- because people were telling the truth about her and her story and the forced, manipulated stories of her poor children weren't holding up anymore. She seems like a person who has anger burning just beneath the surface at all times. It also seems she did everything she could to hurt the children's father- probably thought she could manipulate and scare him because of the language barrier, which was actually quite effective until he was able to get THIS lawyer. I truly hope she gets some mental health treatment- for her own sake, bitter especially for her 6 children, with one being just a little newborn. I hate to think how she treats the ones that DO live with her! 😳
Silent tears, she wasn't trying to put up a show, that makes me doubt the veracity of his statements. Those pictures could be from him beat them up himself.
Too bad he couldn't see this when they got together. She was 17 and he was in his 30's. I wonder what he was thinking with? Anyhow, he seems like a loving, caring father and I hope he gets full custody.
If it wasn’t mom hurting these children then it would be the mom’s boyfriend and she’s defending him. I feel so bad for these children. On the other hand, I adore judge Manning. She simply is the BEST and so compassionate.
Haning worked in a 3 person law office for years for very astute attorneys, I can say that you are one of my heroes. It must be very hard for you to hear these types of cases concerning violence against children and thank you for protecting them. Also the interpreter did an outstanding job. By her muting the translation, and using hand signals, it helped the flow of the proceeding.❤
I have 4 children, hearing this and seeing those pictures just made me see red. I had so many emotions running through me... as a human being and a parent, you never want to see a child hurt. I just don't get how a mother can hurt her babies. those pictures were horrific! im 38 years old and I have never had that many bruises in my lifetime. the translator even sounded horrified by the proceedings.
Why has she not been charged? I would assume the children, because of their ages, could be interviewed and tell when this occurred. Her new baby needs to be removed if it hasn't already. She's clearly not suitable to be a parent. I pray he and the kids can move beyond this and live a happy life.
Thank you Mr.Gillespie for helping Mr.Lanche. Too many times when there is a language barrier people do not get the help they need and are looked down at for not knowing “proper English .” This man is trying to do right by his children and this mom clearly needs help. She doesn’t need to be anywhere near these children until she can get psychological help. Let those kids be at peace with dad at home so they can be healthy and be loved the way they should be.
Totally true that Gillespie esq is a hero and the dad is trying but....How long should someone live in a country without learning the primary language? Maybe he does speak decent English but not enough to be comfortable in court? I have helped friends from other countries navigate the various systems in the USA. Legalese is technically in English, but many do not know how to read/comprehend the language used in most court docs.
This has the potential to turn into another Gabriel Fernandez case if it’s left to the mother to have access to the kids. I’m so glad the father is such a rockstar and I’m so grateful Judge Manning is presiding. Those poor kids.
Give me a break. This is not even close to what Gabriel went through. Out of respect for Gabriel, I think it would be best if no ever compairs child abuse cases.
This made me cry..for the children, for the father, and for the public school teachers that witness this. It must feel hopeless when you can't help innocent children. I commend all involved. Judge is phenomenal.
I hope that lawyer keeps helping the dad, it sounds like he will, those kids need all the help, love and good parenting they can have, including mental health care after such atrocities. Pls mr. Lawyer keep the good fight and help these kids. ❤️
The mother looks terrifying, my heart is broken for these children. Horrible situation for them! I pray they can get the counseling they need and are safe now!
So true, she looks at the screen with an angry & evil scowl on her face… but she went into this hearing with confidence she would “get her way” (because she’s probably never been told “NO” before this). So confident, she didn’t bother with a lawyer. 🤦🏼♂️🤷♂️
I cannot even imagine going through all of this with a language barrier. This father clearly loves and wants to protect his children. I’m praying he can get full custody permanently so these kids can have the best shot at a happy/healthy life.
First off the father was genuine and the label of the video 100% accurate. All kids should have a father like him. Secondly The mom's face throughout the fathers testimony was pure evil. Why those charges were dropped against her twice is a failure of the system. Him being charged and locked up for 11 days and $11,000 is a failure of the system. The "mom" had nothing to say about the bruises until prompted by judge manning said everything you need to know. Her baby should be removed from her care too.
Im usually a pretty good judge of character.. hearing this dads testimony had me in tears... it sounded like he was truly in fear for his children's safety. but after seeing those photos and the look on moms face... I just knew mom was guilty of something. that poor baby was bruised all over. there was no doubt in my mind that baby was abused. bruises like that dont just appear out of nowhere. I wish I could have shown the photos but due to the nudity, the fact that they were too graphic, and that they were taken of a child. I had to blur them. after seeing those photos, I was so mad, I could chew bricks! I cant even explain my anger during this hearing. Someone that abuses children and the elderly, is just pure evil! Whoever abused this baby, deserves the harshest punishment allowed!
Can i just do a shout out, God bless the interpreter. She is most definitely under paid and understaffed. The fact that she has to talk and listen simultaneously non stop for the entire trial is extremely impressive. I would have zoned out so many times or made the conversation pause after every person talks. Lol. Amazing
This judicial system is broken. This mother is a cruel sociopath. The saddest thing is that cruel people such as this woman gets all the rights, custody, child-support, and throw actual fathers under the bus. It’s a shame.
That's why she wanted to keep it out of the court's and just "co parent " as she said. So she could continue to abuse his children and lie about it. I'm so glad he retained a lawyer that could help him protect his children. I know they are both their children, but she has abdicated her rights at this point. Kudos to the lawyer and the interpreter, and especially Judge Manning to start to right this terrible situation.
Yup! I was a child who was severely abused (physically and mentally and verbally) and starting at 7yrs old to 14 when I left, my mother was forcing me to take my clothes off while standing in front of all her diff men and be hit while standing there naked. My whole childhood the schools were aware of the abuse my siblings and I endured (for some reason she was worse to me though) and so were neighbors. Many people made reports. Other fam members also made reports and sometimes stepped in and stopped my mother from hitting me and on one instance that auntie got into a physical fight with my mother over it. My elementary school counselor felt so bad that she paid for me to go to martial arts 4 days a wk for 3yrs out of her own pocket so that I could get out of that house and have a break from the abuse. Back then, cps didn’t work the way they do now and every time they’d come to our home my mother would make us go up to the attic and be quiet. We could hear everything through the floor vent. She would not let them see us or speak to us. They didn’t used to go into schools to see the child either so we never got to tell them our story. Many of our fathers tried to get us out of there too and failed every time. My mother also had an extensive record of domestic violence against men, drug charges, public indecency, disorderly conduct and I think that’s it. No one saved us! I left at 14 and have never had her in my life since then.
@@sheslikethewind8999 I had a similar experience. I have a toxic mother, and a beta father. My was known for abusing my eldest sister who was byproduct of her infidelity in a previous relationship prior to my father. My sister bless her heart was the maid, cook, and nanny . She was criticized, and beat. Eventually two days before Christmas my sister was thrown out the house because she wouldn’t go to buy a Christmas tree with a broken foot. My mom intentionally stomp on her foot. I was three years old. Winter time and we were in tears watching her leave. My father did nothing . My sister received assaults after she left home at 17 and never looked back. I got things the worse, I never got the necessary help I needed. I’m 50 I didn’t learn much from parents, and I have my own issues. I’m divorced because of my troubled childhood . I’ve learned to get therapy, anger management, and parenting classes. I learned to not let my past define me, be a good father, and responsible parent. There is light at the end of the tunnel. My parents I keep my distance from them. Forgive and never forget. You forgive yourself. Flowers bloom when they’re ready.
@@sheslikethewind8999 I'm so sorry you had to suffer like I did. My mother took all her anger and misery out on me. This mother reminds me of my mother. Cold, hard and never at fault.
God bless Judge Manning and this dad. The pain on her face broke my heart. The pain the children endured made me cry. The fight dad had to wage to protect those babies made me angry. This was a tough one.
Judge Manning appears to be absolutely furious with this Mother & fuming. I am right there with her. How horrific for these poor children & their Father. Terminate her parental rights. Today! Put her in jail & throw away the key. If she’s currently pregnant, the moment that baby is born DFACS needs to take the baby & terminate her parental rights.
Yeah I knew she was lying before she brought up the random friend “kisha” but that sealed the deal right when she did that and then rewrote all her previous lies that she never saw the bruises or marks and caught herself up in her own damn lies.
This was horrible. The children were so battered they couldn't even sit down? No mother who loves their children would ever do this or stand by while someone else does this to their babies. Prayers for these little ones.🙏🙏🙏
Do you know how much you have to beat a child or an adult to the point they can't sit for days? That's abuse at the highest level. To the point she will kill them.
Mom looks like she is sitting in a bathrobe. Patricia Chavez-Dietz, translator, is remarkable. I hope she is well paid; she deserves every penny and more.
The mother has zero remorse and clearly doesn't think she was wrong in any way. Her facial expressions look bored and annoyed. Her excuses of back surgery, pregnancy, and that she never beat the eldest, then pivoting to "He used to beat me, that's why I left!" are ridiculous and plain pathetic. None of what she said makes it clear she didn't do what was alleged, AND, she never denied beating the younger children. 🙄🤦😡
This man has such a passion to be a great dad and the fact he is fighting for their safety brings tears to my eyes and breaks my heart. Wish a fathers had his desire and love for their kids.
Right I had proof they didn’t want to see why he went to jail after court for hitting them I wish people can stop this nonsense at the end of the day I still have him on voicemail I have pictures and videos my kids love me and I will do anything for my babies
Ms Reed is a gem! What a woman! She is hurting for these babies too and holding back tears. The judge and translator and attorney did a great job. Hope those kids are safe and happy now.
As the hearing goes on the judge and others anger and disgust is undeniable. As someone who spent the majority of the first 12 years of my life in and out of foster care, I want nothing more than for children to be protected at all costs. It’s hands down unequivocally a life sentence of trauma, injury, sickness, and struggles for anyone who can’t depend on their parents to provide, nurture & protect them. Single most damaging part of society is the harm perpetrated on the young. We have to do better, because it’s so incredibly difficult to end generational trauma, curses, & toxic patterns & pathologies! A child traumatized will cause a ripple effect for generations to come. My heart hurts hearing this knowing first hand the tremendous mountain of healing and specialized care these kids will have to do for decades if not for life, to heal. The mountain they have to climb alone to overcome this is treacherous and I hate that they know this pain.
Hurts my heart to know you struggled much in your childhood. I was raised by great parents but was S. Abused by a friend of the family from age 6 to 12. This was in a time when no one asked or told. I began drinking and drugging at 15 and was alcoholic until age 42. I put my parents thru hell. My parents blamed themselves. I got sober thru a 12 step program. I began counseling 3 yrs later and began to heal and my dad passed 5 yrs after that. I was able to explain to him that my journey was in no way his fault. He cried so hard but such a weight was lifted too. My mom was my rock and she passed 2 yrs ago. Today I live in joy and peace. I have bad days too but don't drink to deal with them. It never crosses my mind. My kids are raised and all are good. I hope so hard that you were as blessed as I was to have mentors and ppl loving you thru your journey. Your writing tells me you did. Lost kids ...we are many...grow with so much pain. We have to do better to see these kids and work harder to help them. Thnxs for what you shared. My hope is that today you are free.
This woman needs to have her tubes tied. She's a demon and a liar and her karma will serve her well. Her other kids should be checked on regularly! She's just evil and should be in jail for some years! I don't believe anything she's saying.
I grew up in foster care as well due to having a mother almost identical to this witch and a father who passed away when I was 9 I do everything I can to ensure my children are happy and safe I will DIE before they experience what I did as a child
This is a sad case. Children are a gift from God. No child should experience abuse at the hands of their parent. I dont understand why people keep having children knowing its overwhelming for them. I hope these children were removed from the mothers home for their safety.
Child support payments and state benefits. All a woman has to do is let a guy get her pregnant and she gets 'free' money for 18 years (at least) PS: Dont get me wrong here. There are deadbeat dads as well as deadbeat moms. I come from middle-class and live on
Children are a product of unprotected procreation. They're not a punishment or a blessing, they just *are*. Oh, and people keep having children because (at least in the US) we have crappy sexual education, expensive birth control, and a society that stigmatizes choosing not to have children and rewards and subsidizes having them.
I work with families in family court. It is one the of most soul crushing experiences as well as one of the most rewarding. If half of the abuse is true then I feel for the children and this poor father. I’ve survived and learnt to thrive and now am a warrior advocate. I’ve had to stop this video a couple of times because I wailed. Thank you for sharing this, abuse needs to stop and we have to step up and step in to protect children. No reaction or emotion from mother which is troubling. She has either been told to show no emotion or she is without feeling. One love to that father, I’m hoping I can make it to the end of the video. ❤
Wow to blame someone else! I love how the Judge turned that one on her. For staying with someone that was hitting her kids and then she says she lived there a year! Anyway she's lying you can tell she's an abuser. I wish nothing but the best for the kids in the future and good job Dad for not giving up trying to protect them.
When I tell you I’ve watched hundreds of videos and quite a few with Judge Manning, I have never sobbed through a hearing. I’ve never seen the look on Judge’s face that she had during this entire video. It’s heartbreaking that any child would ever be treated like that from anyone, much less their mother. The one that is supposed to protect them at all costs. I just cannot fathom the monster that she must be.
I’ve seen this interpreter work before. She is truly gifted at being able to keep track of both sides of the conversation at the same time. She won’t let people talk over the person she’s translating for either.
So sad the language barrier is blocking him from being heard. So unfair but I sincerely hope they remove the children. I believe him. Thank goodness for the lawyer and translator and witness. Wooo it's so hard being heard in schools. Sometimes they don't want to get involved with things like this.
Funny. He seems to understand English when the lawyer spoke to him, but had the interpreter respond for him most of the time. There are so many social services available in a other languages that really isn't a issue in this country. He needed a better lawyer. And the school systems are useless when it comes to protecting children.
I know if I heard the testimony about my daughter being in that condition, I would be so angry about those accusations and I would be crying! No reaction with this “mother”! Absolutely disgusting!
