Absolutely! Wanting him back in the household for whatever reason makes it appear she condones his behavior. She certainly isn't interested in providing a safe home for her children. Doubled trauma for those molested when their mother doesn't support them or their best interests.
Even if she herself did not abuse her children, she must have been well aware of the horror they were going through. It hurts just to think of it. @@Rando15
@angeldark8812 Most likely insufficient evidence. Witness tampering and the department of children and family services is beyond corrupt. Shady social workers, side deals etc. The children should be removed and placed into intensive therapy in a controlled setting, NOT a foster home! What's worrisome is now that pedo BF is locked up she'll just replace him!
@@user-oz2yd8uh9gHon. Stephanie Boyd is an actual judge in Texas. 187th District, Bexar County, San Antonio TX. It's super easy to look her up. As for the pedo, hope he gets his just desserts.
The fact that she's standing up for a predator who hurt her children makes me suspect that she was involved in some way. She does need to be investigated.
I absolutely agree!! Throughout the video, it kept saying "The mother is just as bad as he is". I adamantly disagree....she's FAR WORSE!!! He is the step dad that did horrific things to these children. She is the actual parent who not only allowed it but also pressuring her child to beg the judge to allow him to come back! It's a parents only job to make sure their kids are safe and she's doing the complete opposite! In my opinion, she's much worse than this monster is and she should be in prison as well!!!
Thank you, Judge Boyd! The mother has abused the children mentally. She should be put under the jail and have her rights of being around her children and grandchildren revoked regardless of their ages.
I disagree with Judge Boyd on saying to blame her, "Judge Boyd". This ughhh sorry, "man", own actions are why he's going to prison. The mom allowing it also bears responsibility. Judge Boyd sentenced him to prison but that monster 100% put himself there being a garbage person!!!
Unfortunately we also have some very terrible judges 😕 Judge Boyd is quickly becoming a national treasure because she breaks the trend of coddling criminals. She brings justice ⚖️
@@CandiceMMartinez going off the last week of the Young Thug trial I have to agree with you. However, Rosemarie Aquilina alone cancels out at least a couple of dozen bad ones. The way she handled the Larry Nassar trial, letting every victim say everything they wanted to say is such a supportive manner was brilliant.
Hopefully CPS are already paying very close attention to this family - there should be if there has been abuse in the home. We've seen plenty of CPS cases streamed where a parent has had their rights terminated because they've refused to protect their children from someone else. This may need to be one of them.
I don’t think she can contact them herself. Unfortunately CPS is not always that reliable. Speaking from experience I can say sometimes you may get a true hard worker or someone who is just clocking in 🤷♀️ It is sad that even the defendant seems to admit the children are being used…..
I have worked with women in recovery for 34 years. I can tell you from listening to so many life stories over the years that a parent not supporting an abused child is more harmful than the abuse. It follows that child every bit as long as the abuse. It makes it hard for that child to have true trust in relationships for a long time. Thank you Judge Boyd.
If my mother didn't believe me, I may not be here today to say my mother believed me, when I was SA for years by her partner, and she immediately took my side. I miss her very much, your comment speaks measures. I can't even fathom where I'd be if she had scoffed at me that day
The scariest thing is now that her meal ticket is gone, she's going head to the nearest bar looking for her next one! She is completely dependent upon a man providing for her, even at the expense of her own children! Those children are still in danger & the state needs to take them! She has proven that her happiness & money mean more to her than her own children! DISGUSTING! 😤😡🤬
So the mom's an alcoholic, i.e., "going head to the nearest bar..."? I didn't hear the judge address that in the video so was just curious where that info came from and did that play a role in the huband being able to abuse children, e.g., mom was always drunk/passed out or out at a bar getting drunk, etc. Was that covered in another video or? Just curious.
@@milomilo55no they meant as in she's going to the easiest place to find another sleazy man lol. Could be on tinder, "going to the bar to find a guy" is a common trope about women like this though it's just a figure of speech
That was my sentiments too, I pray that the victim who spoke will take this opportunity to get far away from the "mother" in name only. I believe while reading the letter, alluded to "her" children, which means she's of age & can probably get out on her own. What kind of mother puts her child in a detrimental position, such as SA??? I remember when I told my mom her man was touching me/sisters & how she didn't believe me, I never got over how I was made to feel & I'm in my late 50', to this day I've never felt protected or safe around ANY man, with the exception of my Pastor & the elder deacons in the church I attend. Praying for peace, safety & a secured life for these victims, her mother will never know the harm she's brought to her children.
Thanks mom for sending a message to your daughter that it is ok for her to stay in an abusive relationship!! They should remove the children from that mother!! We definitely need more judges like Judge Boyd!!
Since mom can't make it without him, let her share his prison cell for 10 years. She's useless to him now that he no longer has access to her children. Both of them are disgusting! 😡
The mother is much more disgusting to allow it to happen to her kids. The monster is just an evil monster and can't help himself, but the mother? There are no words for her actions!!
@@helenhines2712 I agree. She is ready to throw her children away because she's too lazy to support herself and her own children. Traded them to a monster for bill money.
Great Job Judge Boyd for putting this "mom" in her place. Thank you for speaking up for the kids. Kids are not meant to be used for money making. They are to be loved as a family.
A mother who prioritizes her financial needs over her children’s safety like this will absolutely do it again. We can only hope that CPS, the local community, and local police will keep a VERY close eye on this family. The mother will allow another predator to have access to her kids if he provides financial incentives. The next one may be even worse, and there absolutely will be a next one. Predators have a 6th sense for women who will turn a blind eye to predation in exchange for their own desires. They can spot a woman who will sacrifice her children for her own comfort, so another predator will find her. She is attracted to the type of man that is wired this way. Her selfishness is fundamental in the type of relationships she seeks out. She is looking for a partner that provides financial security and she doesn’t look any further than the money. She’s just wired to prioritize her own comfort over her children’s safety. That type of personality pattern is not amenable to change, especially if she refuses to acknowledge what she has done and is willing to continue to let happen. Her adult daughter with a child has been raised by her mother and has been taught this same pattern. All of the children need to be removed from this dangerous situation and need intensive therapy. The adult daughter needs therapy NOW. She has a very high risk of developing the exact same destructive personality patterns that she learned from her mother.
That's exactly the first thing I thought, she will find another " man" to take care of her. I can't believe there are mothers who don't put their children first, it's sickening.
I am so proud to have been able to vote for Judge Boyd! I for one love her transparency with her court in Bexar county and I feel better knowing she’s standing up for kids across the county. The way she lays into shoddy parents is all too pleasing!
@@notme2day good question, the only thing I can think of is that any monies owed would be allowed to be paid off over the same length of time as the jail/prison time.
I can not believe how absolutely horrific this mother is. The kids need to be removed from her home. She’s as much a danger as the perpetrator. This woman is evil!
This is the first time Judge Boyd's voice gave me chills, because it sounded like she was about to crack. She handled her obvious anger so well, and told that "mother" exactly what needed to be said. I pray for those children, and everyone involved.
she said everything she needed to, but it sounded like she just couldnt say what she wanted to say. she had to stay relatively professional. there was a lot of restraint in that voice.
Personally, I think Judge Boyd was holding back. I think if she'd been able to, she'd have roared at that sorry excuse for a mother. I agreed with her 100%.
If Judge could have, I think she would have added that she was a horrible mother to not protect her child from the SA.. Cause she really laid into another case where the mother who was also witness, after sentencing, told her she was a horrible mother for doing meth WITH her son cause she pulled him from his grandmother’s house to live with her and her drug addict boyfriend..👀
She told her, but she didn't do what needed to be done. Her ass should've been in jail too because after he's gone, she's gonna invite another monster!
@@babiijean11… the judge had absolutely no authority to send mom to jail in that moment. that isn’t how it works. the judge did everything within her power.
Lone Wolf, thank you for presenting cases like this. I am working on finishing my degree in early childhood education. I participated in a fundraiser this weekend in support of a DV shelter. Your efforts help remind me I need to work more with state politics. Parents need to get the message. Stop CA or go to jail. We have shelters and yes, it is hard to uproot your children to protect them from abuse. It is the law though. We need to educate parents how to look out for abusers. Few, very few ever rehabilitate. I needed someone to make sure I understood this. Being a survivor, religion taught me to be supportive and forgive. It was stupid teaching. Someone can be very good but bad when drunk. No serious CA and no SA. I had him arrested when he relasped. Rinse and repeat. I couldn't understand why rehab didn't work? It only works when you work it. It requires regular meetings for years. It requires focus without distractions. Why it is best children are not involved. DV shelters have resources. Sadly, too many people out there have issues. It is more like good luck finding a good partner. Not many of them out there. Be prepared to fail. Not enough good prospect. Find good support groups and use birth control. People, please support all forms of birth control. Having a child you cannot support. To play a fairytale that can turn into a nightmare. We know, even with laws, if your partner doesn't want to support their child? They won't. Very few pay enough to hold up their side. The worst will keep using you to get something out of the deal. Society is changing some. With great resistance. Why you learn employable skills. Support your kids education. If you want a child? Be able to support them. It is our right and responsibility to be able to care for ourselves and our children. Society has offered us some help. Not as much as is needed to provide a nice home if our partner flakes on us. But enough to keep us afloat. The rest is up to us. Laws have been written about CA and SA to protect criminals. Yes, to protect the innocent but in crimes against children? They are too weak. Public expects criminals to want to behave even though their actions prove otherwise. Criminals target children because they are born with a blank slate. Like putty, they have learned how to mold them into victims. Just as most of us try to teach them to be good. They only know good because that is what we teach them. Why, crimes against children of this magnitude must be as serious as murder. Many become criminals because criminals raised them to think this way. This case, just knowing there are many more like this, has to convince good people to please. Give less to churches. More directly to the groups doing the most good. This woman, like Shanda, Leticia, these mother who expect a certain lifestyle and will sacrifice their children to achieve it. They only bear children to use them as tools to get support from a partner. Like this mother crying, where is my beautiful house? Fancy purse? I will use my children as payment to make sure a partner will give it to me. Why, if this mother isn't prosecuted? Her children put into a safe house? All they may have learned is life is terrible and that terrible people get what they want. If a mother who helps a criminal commit terrible acts goes unpunished? It is okay. Kids are bad. Not mom. This is why the children should be removed. This mom was gutter bad. With intensive intervention she might be re-educated but these children need severe education that she cannot provide. Time is ticking for that window to help them learn how not to become abused or abusers. Mom is not that person.
Cheers to Judge Boyd for her off-record remarks to the horrid abusive "mother", allowing her children to be SA'ed and forcing them to write letters excusing the abuser's actions. CPS needs to get involved. The horrid abusive "mother" deserves to be convicted as an accessory to the crime for *allowing and permitting* it to happen. I hope the children were still in the gallery to hear Judge Boyd telling them that, no matter what their "mother" says, it is not their fault the monster went to prison and not their fault that they were SA'ed.
It looked like the daughter who read the note was sitting there. I have little hope for the mother being impacted, but I hope the daughter is impacted and it’s a starting point for her to grow.
They'd have been locking me up and holding his funeral service. I can't imagine a parent who thinks they should keep a child molester bf/gf in the home. Children deserve protection, it's impact on your finances and your "love" life should be disregarded. It must be devastating for a child to be molested and then not receiving a parents complete support and understanding.
hypothetically speaking, how would any child of yours cope if the parent was then in court for muder? How? as it SA isn't bad enough. I know.. I worked in the field for decades. it devastates.. so a parent doing time for life make it worse for the abused child.. surely?
@@mariahoulihan9483 As somebody who was sexually assaulted by their step parent at age 10 through 11, and had to hear my mom constantly weep to me how it wasn't fair that he was in prison and how she missed him so much... I'm much rather would have been in a foster home because my mother was in jail for murdering my attacker. The opposite is way worse. Now I get what you mean if it's a supportive parent that's left behind, but this mother is the not of that mindset, and it makes the recovery process even more impossible... 😐 Honestly I would still be on speaking terms with my mom if I had to visit her in prison for taking out the horrible person that attacked me. Instead I had to wait for somebody else to figure out he was attacking me and report him and then I had to deal with years of her emotional neglect and downright a verbal abuse in regards to me being SA'd by her "one true love". Just saying.
I worked at a welfare office once and a teenager had been raped by her dad for 8 years and she finally went insane. The mother knew about it but said the dad made good money so she didn’t do anything. She should have been arrested too. That man in this case got off too easy. He will be young enough to find another women with children when he gets out.
@@mariahoulihan9483 When someone hurts your kids, it's difficult to think rationally. Go near bear cubs and see how mom reacts. At the end of the day, we're animals, specifically mammals. And that instinct to protect our kids tells us to eliminate danger. You're talking millions of years of evolution forged by moms destroying threats to their kids. It's difficult to turn off your instincts because the courts demand a fair hearing by an objective judge. Easier said than done.
Judge Boyd was 100% correct! What kind of messed up mother OR father forces their children to go through this horrible abuse and then ask for lenience for the abuser. 😡
The fact that Judge Boyd's voice was cracking when talking to the mother tells volumes. This got to the judge - and the if she had her way, the mother would lose custody.
Whew. That was heavy. I am so, so thankful Judge Boyd presided over this as she’s wise enough to see what was going on and could address the so called mother as well as put the S offender behind bars. Unfortunately, people who think like that mother does won’t simply change with one speech, no matter how impactful it may seem to us. It will probably just make her mad, make her feel victimized by the courts, and hold an even bigger grudge against the judicial system because she didn’t want to accept the truth. The biggest truth in it is that she was complicit in the molestation of her children and so much more. She’s never going to look at herself in the mirror and face that though. She’ll continue to see in herself what she wants- no matter what the truth is, who gets hurt, or what’s at stake.
@@guesswhat-chickenbuttit was the mother making her kids ask for his probation so she still had a source of income coming in from him working and not being in jail. It’s despicable.
Absolutely the Mother manipulated the victims. If any charge like witness intimidation is possible I hope she is prosecuted. It is despicable to be so selfish as to deny the suffering of your own children. If fact I see emtional abuse and would involve CPS to investigate any all abuse possibilities.
@@LoneWolfUsulJudge Boyd followed up with someone the following day to get victims support. The victim that spike is now an adult with very young child. Mom wouldn’t list victim services or state talk to younger minor daughter who is also pregnant. The birth giver of these young women doesn’t deserve to have title mom. 😡🤬😡🤬 Family’s should keep these types of secrets.
What did you mean by your last sentence, that "Family's should keep these types of secrets" ??? NOPE. If there are secrets to be kept quiet, that almost always means the vulnerable are being hurt/abused, in other words, major problems. They need exposed so they can be dealt with in a positive corrective way... @@North_West1
Look at his atty! (When he steps back in view)He even agrees when is listening to Judge Boyd. She is amazing! She is what our judicial system needs. She’s compassionate and firm! I only wish I could have met her grandmother to hear her wise words of wisdom! I often think about my granny’s words. What an amazing woman!
CPS needs to be called on the mother. Those children need to be protected & their mother, obviously, cant be bothered. Any parent that would allow a their child to be around their abuser is disgusting!
The mother revictimized her children all over again by her disgusting actions and in my opinion should be punished for it. Some women are so desperate to have a man in their lives that they will put their children In danger to do so.
Well it doesn't have to be your opinion because it's actually the law. So no matter what anybody's opinion is yes legally she can and should have been already punished and had jail time and had her children taken away because no parent that allows some type of sexual abuse should ever be allowed access to children they should have a stain on their record. And we're not talking about moms or dads that didn't know we're talking about the ones that do know and still don't do anything.
I agree with Judge Boyd 100% of the time. In this case, the mother is just as culpable as her scumbag husband! How dare she use her sexually abused children as pawns for her own gratification and gain? 😡
to the Victims. I have been where you are. At 10 my mother accused me of trying to steal her man, when I told her what was happening. It took me YEARS to learn and understand NO I didn't, what THEY did was wrong. I was a victim of Both of them. so please listen when I tell you, living in a shelter is better than NOT protecting your kids. No ONE ever touched my child. You have got to BREAK the cycle and get away from your mother. because she WILL let others abuse them. because she has not been held accountable. Please leave the toxic family, get therapy, work on you and be the mom you WISHED you had. It's not easy but man oh man it's FREEING. I THRIVE, I LIVE, I LAUGH, I FOUND A GREAT MAN, but most of all I BROKE THE CYCLE and learned to stand on my own two feet. You can do it. it's so much better on this side.
Damn that off-the-record statement to the mom was masterful. Both a dressing down to the mother and a heartfelt plea to the mothers children to remind them someone cares and has their back. I hope cps or some other measure can be taken to help those children.
Another horrible thing about this is that the mother forced her daughter to stand in front of the judge to read the letter, but she's such a coward that she remained in the back and send an email to the judge so she wouldn't have to do the same.
I love that Judge Boyd made sure to say blame me not your child. She’s trying to protect her from that horrible woman taking out her anger on the daughter. Judge Boyd has such great empathy and understanding.
The only thing I disagree with that Judge Boyd said is that if the mother wants to blame someone for her man being in prison she should blame Judge Boyd. No, she needs to blame her man who sexually assaulted children for being in jail! If he didn't do the crime he wouldnt be seving the time!
Judge Boyd makes the decision in court of who's going to prison. Judge Boyd said that so the children won't feel sorry for sending their stepfather to prison and having the mother putting a guilt trip on the kids. She said that so the kids know from the judge it isn't their fault and the judge warning the mother not to do it. She's protecting the kids because mom's only worrying about money and not the well-being of the children.
@@arnoldhenry I know why Judge Boyd said what she said, but the fact remains that the man's actions are what put him in prison, not Judge Boyd. Judge Boyd is an enforcer of the law; her only real decision is how much prison time he should serve and if parole or other options are available to him. He committed a crime that has a prison sentence. This isn't a new thing that people can get trapped with not knowing the law. He still chose to molest children. Had he gone in front of any other judge, he would still be in prison because of HIS actions.
She said that because she knows the mother will never blame the man. The mother wants to blame someone else, so Judge Boyd is saying, "place the target on me." It's Judge Boyd's attempt at helping the children
I thought the same thing when she said it but I also think she only said it because she knows mom isn’t going to hold him accountable if she hasn’t already and therefore doesn’t want the daughter to suffer any wrath because of her moms pure ignorance
The despicable female that dares call herself a mother…I have no words to describe the utter outrage & CONTEMPT I feel towards her! My mind is blown! God bless those children, I pray for them with all my heart. 😢
what she is doing is telling her the weight of the law is being carried out through herself, Judge Boyd. Its a warning for her not to blame the childrenharm them or give them a hard time over the sentence.
The fact that the Judge Boyd sees these kinds of things every day must be completely demoralizing. I truly don’t understand how she does not become a depressed mess. She’s quite extraordinary.
Disgusting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hopes that in prison some good old fashioned justice will be brought upon him. "Mom" should lose her children, and her freedom.
Love that judge gave it right to her, full on, full stop in open court, GO!!!! J U D G E B O Y D!!! She's the best Boyd for president 2024..we need her in Washington, also wish she had presided over some donald cases, she'd have found him in contempt or thrown him out of court, or both!!!
"Mom"....get your children into Counseling ASAP!!! That is the least you can do!! God entrusted you with His children....what are you going to say to Him??
This mother AND the abuser is absolutely PATHETIC! He blessed to still be living. How dare this poor excuse for a mother plead her case for this sex offender. Despicable!!! I pray for the victims, and that the sex offender gets everything he inflicted upon his victims and more!!!!!
they usually do that to save the victim from having to testify or if like in this case, it looks like the victims would be uncooperative for trial and they probably didn’t want to force them to testify.
He got 10 years in prison, so it isn't like they reduced it to something minor. They reduced it from a first degree felony to a second degree felony. You see some cases where a first degree felony is reduced to a misdemeanor and that's just crazy (unless evidence has come to light that means they are unlikely to get a conviction on the original charge - they should always drop a charge they no longer think they can prove), but a small reduction can be very sensible. The difference between what he pled to and what he was originally charged with is that the original charge requires at least two acts more than 30 days apart, while the offence pled to only requires a single act. The act in question is the same. It may be the evidence was a little shaky on proving multiple acts. It is likely, given what we heard, that the mother was very reluctant for the child to testify (it isn't ultimately the mother's decision, but it is going to be difficult to get good quality testimony from a child whose parent is getting in the way). So they may have had difficulty proving the original charge, in which case reducing the charge in exchange for a plea is a good option. Trials can be unpredictable, especially with a child victim taking the stand, so there it is a gamble to take a case like this to trial. There is a chance the defendant gets acquitted because the child ends up being a very poor witness (perhaps because of the mother). What is crazy is that probation was even being discussed for a second degree felony. The charge carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison. The fact that you can get probation on a charge that the law gives a minimum prison sentence to makes no sense to me.
@@thomasdalton1508oh be quiet! Those girls he abused will never be the same. 10yrs is hardly enough. No plea deals should have been entertained PERIOD!
@@LaToyaRidesvux So the girls should have been forced to go through the ordeal of testifying just to get him a few more years in prison? Why? Who benefits from that?

Just one more thing I would have liked Judge Boyd to say: "And don't be bringing some other man into your home until there's NO CHILDREN in your life."
I absolutely LOVE this judge! Every word she said is exactly what I would have said. She has the wisdom and insight to see through what witnesses say and - more importantly - WHY they are saying it. I fully agree with some of the commenters' phrase, "You Rock, Judge Boyd!".
Damn I love Judge Boyd. Those kids shouldn’t even be allowed back home. If their mother thinks pimping her kids out to pay the bills is ok who knows how long until she finds another man to ‘pay her bills’, she needs to be arrested and sent to jail as well.
Damn, Judge Boyd! Next time why don’t you tell us what you are thinking! LoL! She sees the bad side of people day in and day out. That must get tiring, mentally. It’s no wonder that she goes “Off the record” and puts her two cents in as often as she does. She’s a Class Act!….
Got damn I love this woman!!! So many women do this. Usually the kids are getting smacked around but there have been cases where moms were literally pimping their daughters for money, one for a house. How dare you!!! How can you possibly offer your children up to deviants for money?!! “Well it happened to me!” Ok, so wasn’t it absolutely traumatizing to you? You want to inflict horrors on your kids because some monster did it to you? What kind of sense does that make ?
Thanks Judge Boyd,for sending him to prison, and for addressing the mother, you were 100% spot on with everything., out of all the court videos that I’ve watched, I’d have to say that without a doubt you’re my favorite judge. It’s still a damn shame to me that the mother wasn’t charged in this case as well. But then again, I’m not a prosecutor, so idk.🤷♀️
That’s why I love Judge Boyd!! That woman is a disgrace to mothers everywhere! I feel so bad for her children! That is VILE what she did to them! I hope and pray the prosecutors were paying attention and charges will be forthcoming! As for the children I pray they will be able to overcome this and be survivors! 🙏🙏
she spoke for those whose voices often go unheard and for those who are traumatized over and over again! that slow head nod, and slight smirk with her red lipstick when she said, "i'mmmmm sending him to prison" matterfactly, was the icing on the cake! bravo, Judge 👏🏾
You can tell by the way the "witness" is reading the email, she does not believe what she is reading. Thank goodness Judge Boyd see's right through this. If she can't get up off her a55 and get a job, it's time for the mother to downsize and pick out a new mini van condo. Shame on her.
I am so addicted to watching Judge Boyd enforce her judgements. She is awesome... I love how she instructs her court proceedings. As a victim of sexual child abuse the abuser does not think about nor care how much damage they inflict on their victim. It is such a selfish self serving act that often times destroys the lives of the victim forever. At 65 I still suffer and have had to live with the trauma of sexual abuse inflicted upon me starting at the age 5 ending at 11. Not having someone to stand up for me or protect me was almost as traumatizing as the abuses. GOD BLESS her for protecting those girls from the stepfathers sexual abuse and the betrayal of the mother.
That should be a crime for the mother. I wonder why he was sent to jail. If the mother didn't send him, she should be charged with the condoning of abuse to her children. Telling him to come home and making the kids try to make it happen is saying she is complicit in the abuse. So blatant. I guess the threat is gone and they don't want to further traumatize the children or burden the system by putting them in foster care.
