Can we stop with the body language analysis stuff? It's hogwash psuedoscience and cheapens your journalistic integrity. I know you need filler for some segments and it's entertaining, but surely we can find some other content.
So the abuse happened for years, and apparently, they were broken up, also. Other sites have interviews with ex friends who confirm he was into young girls, and addicted to porn....he worked at Disney, once but was no longer working. Noone has mentioned the possibility of a CP RING. Would explain mother covering for him, if she needed money.
I'm sorry but that woman knows nothing about CSA I've counselled many many adults that never told any adults about the abuse happening to them under the same roof as the mother by the father or step parent I've spoken to mums who have never had an idea that their child is being abused under their own roof!!!
@@carolinanavarro9076PLEASE don't say child porn it's child abuse images. Children can't consent to pictures and videos adults can and that's pornography
If it's rape, it should never be called sex no matter the age of the victim. But to say this about a thirteen year old girl who was a victim of sexual assault from the time she was eleven years old is disgusting. It's vile and dehumanising and invalidating.
@@j4kgang921 the little girl was only 12 so no matter how you try to word it in CAPITAL LETTERS they were not having sex the LITTLE GIRL WAS BEING SEXUALLY ABUSED 😠
@@j4kgang921you out of your mind!? So, it matters whether she was screaming and fighting back, or laying there quietly the whole time?! Are you kidding me?! She was a CHILD!! AND THAT IS HER DAUGHTER! She should be screaming at the top of her lungs that he _R@PED_ her baby girl! That's the ONLY thing that should be coming out of her mouth. My god, people like you terrify me.
Im soooo sick of these " live in boyfriends sexually abusing and murdering these kids " When are the Mother's going to be Charged with their Responsibility of Keeping their kids safe ???
@catsanctuary5604 Exactly! Sacrificing the well being and safety of her kid for some roll over penis. She needs to be charged immediately. It's no money that would allow me to expose my kids to that.
I agree. These mothers should be charged too. But the District Attorneys always give these women immunity to testify. The mother knew, she should be charged
@@teresacastro1263she definitely is covering for him. The way she had that girl dressed, with eye makeup and everything shows that she was most likely presenting Madeline as a present to him from her and her sick desperation to keep that sick man.
@@niks8521 right we know nothing men pray on women who are single with little to minimal help from family friends even dads the mom probably didn’t know and her daughter maybe didn’t want to tell because it’s her mom we all want to see our mom & dad happy & me as a child why would I want to ruin that ?? She was abused for 2yrs from 11-13 up until her last day she probably threatened to finally tell on him he probably went in thinking yesssss I’m going to do this & that to her & she finally got tired of it he snapped was scared of the thoughts of jail etc ! I think that’s what happened
I agree! The mom needs to be investigated. It was reported that Madeline confided in her friends/classmates that her mom didn't believe her when she tried to tell her mom. Watching the mom comfort him while crying & lying to the world about his concern & love for Madeline after she went missing makes me physically ill & enraged simultaneously!🤢🤬🤢🤬🤢
Agreed.... I also completely disagree with her analysis of their body language. The Mom doesn't appear upset to me at all. The BF had the sad voice and was wiping his eyes but if you zoom in, there is not a single tear showing in his eyes. Completely fake! You would think that a "professional" would see that immediately.
My Mother knew. She would say she didn't. But she was physically abusive to me long before she found her pedophile husband. My stepfather. I was abused for 7 yrs by him. Finally, an old man from a church who rented to my mother called DHS and said he believed i was being harmed. He had no clue what he did. He was shocked to find out the horror that was my childhood and he believed God told him to fight for me. So many souls saw my body broken and soul depleted they did nothing and if anyone noticed I was moved fast. My heart breaks for her. The people who want pedophilia to be accepted in society have NO idea what survivors have truly survived. They couldn't, or they would never ask us to accept them in society. It's grotesque, and it's depleting. 🙏 RIP Maddie Angel. You deserved so much more love.
She wasnt even hysterical or crying. Looking up and away from the camera. Human lie detector says lying. And repeatedly saying "we" dropped her off makes me think she helped him dispose of her. Was she involved in the SAs? Is that why the child couldn't come forward? Absolutely no upset her child is missing. I'd be hysterical and sedated.
As the father of an almost 13 year-old girl, this case hits harder than others. As men, it's our job to protect our household, to show our sons how they are supposed to treat women and show our daughters the standard for how they should expect to be treated by men. The easiest way to model this behavior is how we treat their mother. I'm truly disgusted that this little girl never had a chance in life. It's just not fair and it's a story that is all too common. May everyone who failed Madeline be held accountable, here and in any hereafter.
Thank you so much for setting a great example for our children. We need more Men like you in this world. Whom share the same attributes and dedication as you do, for our future men. We need more MEN to understand that their presence is the main dynamic for our families to succeed. We need our men back!
Your good Father. My Father was an abuser in 1930,40s50s60s70s never got caught and he was a youth leader/children care officer/social worker. I was best not abused but watch it first hand Darling Madeline's suffering will have been a torcher for her. I have never recovered from my experience 💔
Exactly, where was her biological father? He married another woman three months after Maddie was born. I wonder if there are any court records of him trying to get custody of Maddie.
@@ginajoseph8776 at this point I haven’t heard anything from the bio dad in the news. This girl was failed by everyone in her family. Her face screams sadness, her eyes 🥺 you could see so much in her eyes 💔
The black bags are a dead give away and the yellow teeth and the messy hair. I don’t mean to insult her beautiful soul but I remember last time I saw my cousin who wasn’t blood related but considered her so. She was quiet. Her teeth were yellow. She was greasy. Like she hadn’t bathed. She was hiding in the back room and I went to hangout with her and play with the iPad and she was quietly giggling. Like just very shy. Distant and didn’t make eye contact. Didn’t say much. But I just remember seeing her facial skin glisten. Which was abnormal. My aunt always had her real clean but they had picked her up from her bio moms. Had another cousin. Over sized clothing, black clothing, red cheeks, chopped male haircut. Identifying as lesbian at a young age. Head down. Quiet. She has bursts of anger. But the other one was younger and she her hair was kinky and greasy and I wish I would of known the signs. Bags. Either real happy or real sad. Quiet. Hides. Non confrontational or abnormally confrontational and or angry. I was the oldest. I feel like I failed them till this day. I’m so sorry babies. One in jail the other is still free. ❤️🩹💔
She sure is a monster over there comforting the murder of her own daughter sickening and thinking her daughter would sexually take care of this man or she left her there and that home alone
"My child is missing... let me call my criminal defense attorney." Yeah, no. What terrible advice. Glad Vinnie called this guest out on her despicable suggestion.
I have been a single mom of 2 daughters (now 10&13) for nearly 8 years after divorcing my then husband. Call me what you want but I have NEVER let another man in our home since I’ve been a single mom. As a mother to my 2 precious daughters, my sole focus is raising them and I have ZERO interest in dating.
I get you but there seems to be just as many “intact” families that the fathers are molesting their kids as well. Try dating but don’t introduce them to your kids.
I'm not a parent but I've worked with children for 12 yrs and I don't blame you for setting up boundaries and consequences for that part of your life. I can't tell you how many times I've heard kids talk about "stepmoms" and "stepdad"!!!... It's so annoying and what pisses me off is how much trust and access they give their partners, especially women. Ppl be so happy just to have someone that they will ignore or over look the relationship or lack there of btwn their children and partner. I just couldn't do it, I'm sorry....
She was suffering not only because he was abused over and over , but I am sure it was more painful for her that her mom didn't protected her . For me the mother should be in JAIL long time ago.
@lorimiller4301 I know that feeling personally also and If I could prevent it from every child ever I would!! I'm sorry you have to know that feeling your in my prayers 🙏
Well you know how the crazy liberal, leftist, progressive Democratic thinking is,they think it's free for all and we all have a choice even with kids on what happens with them here and there
Did she just call sexual abuse having sex???? Did I just hear that?!??!?!??!?! Sexual abuse is not having sex!!!!! Walked in on them ??? You mean walking in on HIM abusing THE CHILD?!?!
I know women who have stayed after they’re found out/exposed, they see them as the other woman. I believe the mom was complicit involved or at least knowledgeable-guilty.
After I lost my husband at 26yo, I decided to never let an unrelated man in my home with our little girls. It's not worth it happening to them, what happened to me. If I walked in, (& if I could control myself not to rip that chomo from limb to limb) I would've held my little girl & told her how sorry I was that I didn't protect her. Instead of this monster protecting this other monster. WTAF
I don’t like when people refer to victims being assaulted as “having sex.” That is not sex and should never be compared as such. Sets a dangerous precedent. The “dad” looked high to me, more than anything. Now I see the mother again she has pinpoint pupils and looks like she might abuse some sort of substance as well. They were together for three years “on and off” so he was abusing her the entire time they were together. The conversation with all the lawyers was weird, I don’t know why it was so focused on the parents, nothing about the child. They were all very crass about it. I hope it’s not a preview of how this will be reported. She JUST turned 13, it started when she was 11, she was a child and there was nothing consensual about anything that happened to her.
He smoke pot every day , and she was on depression medication. He was on Ativa and Lunesta meds which I’m pretty sure he used it on Maddie to put her to sleep to get her out of the house and tell people “she slept all the way to school” , but Maddie died either late that Sunday night or early hours of Monday morning. This happened in my county . He used to work at Epcot (Disney)
Exactly, I'm so sick of all these "experts" scrambling and shouting to be heard over each other, but not really saying anything of value. They're very jaded and inconsiderate and don't care one flip about this little girl being r*ped and murdered, they only care about outgoing each other's so-called expertise on these dumb talk panels. I'm done with this stuff, Court TV. 🙄
At her 13th birthday there is no smile in the eyes… She is smiling but she is dead in the eyes… That poor little girl. Anyone who looked at that kid should have been able to tell something was very, VERY wrong. That is not a carefree 13 year old child…
I think prehaps she fell pregnant and he had to do something about it. It's sickening to think he could of been abusing her this whole time. And for the mother... well I think she knows more!
the mom is obviously upset, she is probably getting information and learning what's on his phone .then he seems to try to intimidate her while she's doing one of the Interviews. maybe he's telling her what she needs to say because the real truth looks bad... he probably "groomed" the both of them and maybe she's realizing this. I just dont think we should judge her before everything comes out. poor girl... I've been divorced for over 10yrs and not dated in 8. I have a daughter with cerebral palsy still home with me, and I just cant trust any man enough to even try to date. so it's hard for me to understand how mom didn't know, but playing devil's advocate.
This hit very close to home. My father abused me when I was 8 until I was 10. I told my mam and she kicked him out straight away. Our whole world came crashing down. It took me 20 years to realise that he was not sorry, was blaming my mother (the f***ing audacity) and that he would do it again if given the chance- and he nearly got that chance with another woman who had a young girl. I could write a book about the crappy way it was handled- yes, in 2001 in Ireland my mother was told by the Gardaí nothing would be done about it unless I, a 10 year old child, wanted to press charges, and she was told by psychologists that my father could move back in with us and we could go back to being a normal family. I thank God that it happened before smartphones were around, because it's awful to think of people recording child abuse and then (in most cases) selling it to other pieces of s**t. In 2021 I brought him to court. He got 8 years, of which he'll do about 5. He pleaded guilty (there was historical records from counselling), yet I still had to sit there with my family and listen to his defence claim that I "wanted it". Still to this day my mother will not and has not brought another man into our house. I'll be moving out soon (yes, I'm 32 but we have a housing crisis and on top of that I have anxiety, depression and P.T.S.D), and I don't want to leave my mother alone after all we've been through. People who can't fathom how a parent wouldn't know- paedophiles are sneaky pieces of s**t. And it would be very difficult to imagine the person you love would do that to his own daughter. My father was absolutely stupid, but he was thoroughly cunning. That's in my case though, but looking at the mother in this one, it strikes me as a rehearsed statement in her interview. She says "We dropped her off" then it turns to "he dropped her off". There's something off about her, and I wonder if she really did know, if she had an idea but ignored the signs, or if he spun her a lie about him being the first person they'd look at and then he couldn't help the mother.... something like that? Either way, he deserves death. Paedophiles should be killed. They don't stop being paedophiles. They will push further and further and will never be satisfied. There is no redemption for them. They are a waste of space and money, and children deserve to be protected from them. They destroy lives. Rest in peace, Madeline. You deserved so much better than this 💖
he claimed to have worked for Disney World on his Facebook.... he talked non-stop about this on his Reddit (Sustinet) ... he was even giving advice (grooming really) to "Teens".... the dude is SICK beyond SICK.... and those "photos and videos" the Cops found? .... they were of MADELINE!!! ... in THEIR HOUSE!!
The only way she might have gone to work that day is because she knew what would be happening after the little girl's birthday party and didn't want to watch it happen!! There's a lot that didn't 'sit right' in their interview
Nobody is defending these people but to discredit parents who have to work is uncalled for. Many parents have to miss things due to having to work. I think this mom had many issues we don't yet know exactly what she did or didn't know. I just don't think working on the day of her birthday party was the issue. Whatever was happening had been happening for a long time .
All I know is that when my daughter went "missing" for 10 minutes ( went scooter riding, new scooter) ....I went absolutely nuts. Screaming, crying ..telling everyone help me. She was (is) fine but I shall never forget that experience. She was at the time seven years old, she is 23 now and I still have "issues" with it.
I agree. Also the fact that she covered up that he was the last one to see her alive when he dropped her off at school. The mother kept saying “we dropped her off” when she knows he did it by himself
I love how angry he looks when he says "she's been suffering for years, this monster was living in her house!!" It's exactly how angry I feel... how sad and how awful that nobody protected this sweet girl. I'm so sad for her.. no child should have to live thru such absolute twisted acts.
I didn't think that until i listened to what the mom first said "we dropped her off at school..." then later "i dropped her off at school". She had to of known something to include herself in the drop off , then exclude him next. And I;m curious why there's a statement that said the video at the church showed Madeline exit the car and walk away, but if she was never dropped off. SO then mom must be lying. Rediculous!
@@Jessicace I understand what you mean, but in the face of the long-term tragedy of this child (as well as others, because we were talking about partners molesting their partners' children), I hope we can agree that using the term "sex" alone without expressly mentioning "forced sex" suggests that it could have been with mutual consent, and as we know, children cannot give consent. Don't you agree? I assume what you mean is that every penetration is sex, but we are far more advanced in linguistics and morals to simplify it like that. We have to distinguish between forced penetration and fun intercourse, otherwise if you (Jessicace) get raped one day i expect you to go to the police and say "i just had sex with a man in the dark alley, can you please help me find him?"... How deos it feel to call it like that?
Your comment made me tear up, cause when I saw her pic, her eyes look so sad!...my mom says she can always spot kids who are in Maddie's situation, she says, they look tired and like their clothes are never fitting well
I thought the same thing! Poor babygirl sometimes looked way older in some photos. Stress and lack of sleep along with abuse will do that to a child. I'm so angry this hairy mknster did this to her. Poor baby! @Stanfordmom-
Can you imagine the fear and dread Madeline must have felt every time the freak snuck in her room? Omg. The thought of him wanting to be near her had to be so frightening and awkward.
Mom's LYING. She knew exactly what was going on for 2 years. She's trying so hard to separate herself from her boyfriend and daughter. She wasn't home for the birthday? She wasn't there when HE dropped Madeline off at school? Then, she says "WE" dropped her off at school? Why is she helping this rapist and murderer? Because she's complicit and culpable. And much worse - she was this child's mother.
was more than 2 years..... Stephan posted a picture of Madeline on his Reddit when she was 9.... boasting about how good she painted a figurine..... seen for myself... and you can too... his account name Sustinet
@@Kay-fv7cw yeah... Stephan apparently collects KIDS TOYS of all sorts (odd i know) and paints them... he posted a photo oh Reddit of her holding one that she painted herself.
💯💯💯 same I’ve been a single mom for 8 years. My daughters are only 10&13 now but I have not and will not bring another man into this house with them. No dating for me and believe me I am FINE with that!
Shouldn't even be showing pictures of her and her mom together smiling. It's a slap in the face to that poor little girl who's mother didn't care about her and chose a man over her.
For real! The audacity of the mother to sit and say that her daughter “shares everything with her” because they r soooo close and yet her mom pretends to know nothings wrong?! I have no doubt that this woman knew what was going on 😡
Madeline was not having sex...this was sexual abuse. I despise how people keep calling it p*rn. It's CSAM! USE THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY. She could never consent. At 13 years old let alone 11. She was a baby! I have a child that age. I can't imagine it. I hope that he is so afraid right now for his safety. Maybe he would then get to feel what she went through.
I hate to say this but Madeleine looks like she’s holding trauma in her eyes. Almost like the light and life has already been taken from her. It breaks my heart. RIP ❤️🙏
I have a 9 year old and 11 year old girls and this situation makes me so angry. Poor girl went through so much and didn’t deserve what happened to her.
I am thinking the same way. The shaking indicates she is extremely anxious & nervous about saying or doing something wrong. There are no tears. She is constantly looking up, avoiding direct eye contact with camera. She is hiding information.
Spot on, well spoken! You are 100 percent correct, if you lie, it's difficult to remember, if you tell the truth, there is no need to search for new words, change stories… and continue to fabricate more lies. Thank you, exceptionally well spoken🙏
I’m not sure that’s entirely right. Innocent people have also been caught up in investigations for saying the wrong thing. That should be a concern innocent or guilty in any crime.
He probably got her pregnant and was trying to hide his evil deeds. This poor child has had one hell of a life. SMH. Breaks my heart. That Mama knew, trust me, she knew.
he was filming 'acts' with Madeline.. SICK 'acts' that is... the affidavit makes this more than clear.... and that was upwards to 2 years ago.... now take into consideration Stephan posted a picture of Madeline on his Reddit when she was 9.... a horrifying thought.
@@georgejungle2255 thats a great question.... i wonder if they could tell she was being abused given a general 'check-up' or 'physical'... i would imagine so.
Dated for 7 months, lived together for 6 years. The r a p e s on the phone go back to 2 years ago. But he probably started years before and the pics and videos are on other devices.
I think its coming but I think the police want to do a thorough forensic analysis before they bring charges, they only have one shot at getting charges to stick. Fon't want no teflon charges in this case.
I’m a mom and, aside from her dad, I don’t trust any man around my daughter. Her dad and I are no longer together. I’m cool with being single or not having a serious relationship until she’s grown. These types of cases reinforce that for me.
I completely agree. My Karen neighbors think I’m gay because they don’t see a man around me. I don’t trust men other than her father around her. Some of them will get with you just to get to your child sick individuals.That mother is terrible for not protecting her child. Most Latinos household do these type of coverups about sexual abuse against children.
I’m a divorced single dad and I rather don’t date because even there are evil women murdering. The Lord blessed me with a disabled daughter and she’ll need me for life but I don’t want to meet someone that is going to become jealous and allege I’m not spending enough time because my daughter is first. Even if she was normal then I wait until she’s independent.
Some mothers tell everyone that their daughter is lying and take her husband’s side. Some mothers do this more than once… It started around age 3-4 and I was lucky enough to get “too old for him” before I got to Madeline’s age and suppressed the worst of the memories. My little sister ended up destroying her life over the abuse, I guess she wasn’t as skilled at dissociating as I was/am. She committed several felonies at age 14 so she was sent to a girls juvenile center. Once there, she reported it, and my mother was told that she would have to separate physically from her husband to allow my sister to come home. She chose to have her sent elsewhere. Last I heard, my sister was in and out of jail and homeless with at least one child that had been taken away from her by the state. I feel so so sorry for poor Maddie. 😢 She didn’t deserve the abuse she endured. No girl does. The mother is 100% complicit.
I'm sorry your adults were horrible, but I'm am glad you're here, Tiffany. Prayers for your lost little sister. I truly know how that hurts your heart.
I watched the testimony of the officer that was first on the scene and he broke down on the stand. He was so emotional and I felt so sad for him for having to experience what he saw. Mom had no tears.
in the affidavit it makes mention that it was Madeline in those "videos and photos" on his phone... he was most certainly doing some HORRIBLE things to her according to it.
The mother must have washed her clothes, her bedsheets, etc. considering she was only 13 or 11 at the time of the abuse started. You mean to tell me the mother didn’t see things on the sheets or her panties..
@@Amylynnklh900 what are you talking about? That’s not gross, she isn’t saying it like you sniff a child’s undies. But if you’re a mother who does laundry you will notice things.
As a single mom myself, I never brought a man in to live in my home. My children were always first. They are both grown and out now. When I saw this case, My intuition said mom had something to do or some knowledge of this from the very beginning. Disgusting to know that this mom cared more about this man and retaining him with her than to protect her child. Justice for Maddie💔🙏🏼
Vinnie!!!!!!! I live in same community and helped with flees and searching as early as Tuesday - something mom said early early on was that Stephan “PICKED UP” Madeline and then took her to school - because I live here and I’m a mom that sent huge red flags for me. I wanted to know from where he picked Madeline up. again, Jennifer’s early reports were that Madeline was picked up and taken to school. This was a big deal for me because at that time we didn’t know if he lived with Jennifer and Maddie or not and after it was revealed, he lived in the apartment it seemed everyone dropped the phrase he picked Madeline up. I think it’s huge.
Just when I think I can't get angrier about this situation, here comes more. The justice system had better give Madeline every drop of justice due to her.
I would be devestated crying uncontrollably and couldn't handle what happened and where my daughter was at. To me, there is no devestation between either one of them.
Watch the whole interview they did. The mother only expresses fear and the “step dad” emotes fear and fake concern. He even referred to her in the past tense.
I have a sister that dated a sex offender and I scolded her about. Because my sister not only has something mentally wrong with her but she completely lacks self esteem. The is exactly how Jennifer is. She thinks he's the best she can do.
She looks a mess, clearly not taking care of herself, and she looks like a desperate woman just grateful to have attention. But he was only with her for access to abuse her child. We get so few years of innocence. It’s no one’s right to take that away from kids. Only a absolute monster would.
I hope my comment is not out of pocket but do you guys think the mom was jealous of her daughter because I feel like she’s involved somehow her actions seem forced and bothered
I personally feel this way. I think she discovered something, became jealous and took it out on maddie, blackmailing stephan to dispose of the body or she would turn him in and frame him@@Kendrawilsonky
Me too the mom is a monster she knows everything but chose her boyfriend over her precious baby girl both are evil people. May justice be served for little Madeline ❤🙏🙏😢❤️
You need proof for the mom first. I haven’t heard anything yet except people judging her for her awkward behavior and newsflash. There’s plenty of people in this world that are awkward and can give an impression of something that isn’t necessarily true. I’m sure they swept her phone and are looking for evidence to prove she knew something.
Disgusting. Moms please put your kids first before anything or anyone. Just assume ALL people cannot be trusted alone with your children. There are more evil, sick people out there than we can imagine.
The photo of Madeline at her birthday is sad as although she is smiling, the happiness doesn’t reach her eyes. What a tragic life. She suffered abuse and then was murdered. Madeline didn’t get a chance to experience life as a carefree young person. 😢
Panel made some great points today! Mom is def goin down! As a mother of a 18 yr old, I can typically see/feel when my son is happy, down, worried, anxious, hiding something, etc etc. If you’re plugged in u KNOW your children. As horrific as the sexual assault was, so too was this angel having to live in a home EVERY day where she was unsafe, scared, facing torment, and alone. Its unimaginable.
It did look like she’d put on a good bit of weight. I read some SA victims do that hoping to be unattractive to their assaulter. Whatever the case, I hope whoever is involved rots in prison.
Mother needs to be charged she knew there’s no way that women didn’t know! And why was she so afraid to tell her mom? Her mom must have made it clear to her that the boyfriend was more important! MOM NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL!
My parents didn't know I was being molested. I will say..... that's because my parents are narcs and completely self involved. I would notice the signs. There are signs 100000000%. Selfish self involved care givers might actually not notice.
Mom is covering for her monster boyfriend .. How could she not know something was off .. this is why it’s so important for singles parents to make sure you know who you’re bringing into your home… you have to protect your kids !!!
That’s because she probably knew. If she didn’t know before she met him, she probably knew sometime after he started assaulting her daughter. This happens often and it’s sad.
@@RepentfollowJesus she was at bare min 9 years old when he was around her..... he posted a picture of her to his Reddit holding a painted figurine.... Sustinet
She needed to call an attorney to have them tell her not to do those interviews. That she hung herself with. Apparently she didn’t ask the question should I talk to the press?
@@Dragonangel831 I dont think innocent parents would do that... Besides, the blonde lady in the video was saying that she shouldve called a lawyer when her daughter went missing and then call the police to report her missing after speaking with a lawyer... She also said not to talk to the media and have your lawyer do that for you... That would be very sus to me, the public and the police. The daughter is missing, she needs the media to report it and needs the polcie to help her find her child. If you refuse media and police, it gives the impression that you have something to hide and that you dont want to help with the search. Imo, itd also imply that the shes afraid she will be accused of unaliving her kid when the kid is only missing and not even confirmed to be deceased. Just look at Gabby Petito, her bf (and killer) Brian lawyered up as soon as possible, did not talk to the media or to police and the whole world turned against him bc its such an abnormal thing to do.
I'm a single father to a 5 year old boy, and this makes me absolutely sick. What is with parents just moving random people into their homes. Whenever you move non-biological parents into your home, the chances of abuse skyrocket. As a parent, you don't have the right to gamble with your child's safety. As a parent, you have an obligation to protect your child, not roll the dice with their safety.
The mother has no emotion at all. "I hope she's safe" She knows her daughter is dead. Why she'd protect the monster is beyond me. Who needs a guy that much? Seriously. It's no crime to be single until your child is an adult or to dump a loser POS.
I cannot listen to this! It’s so tragic. It hurts to know that she lived in this world and suffered such agony behind closed doors. It’s just too tragic.
Yeah when I first heard that this had been going on for years my stomach dropped. And when I see the pictures of her, she looks so happy, so that tells me that she was strong, I bet you she said no or said she was telling & he snapped. She deserved so much better. It’s just not fair.
who took the picture? MOM? Of course she knew. they would have redacted the home address. I'm guessing she was either pregnant or fought back this time
There is NO WAY her mother didn't know this was happening or at least suspected it. Also, there is no way he accidentally did a factory reset on that phone? That is idiocy to even suggest! It's a two to three step process, depending on the phone. With that mother, that poor child never had a chance. I'll never believe the mother was clueless as to what was happening. She should be charged as well.
I don’t understand why her daughters birthday wasn’t important enough to make arrangements to be there for her birthday. I always make arrangements to make sure we have a special day together to celebrate them.
Every year is important but especially entering your teen years. I remember how special that birthday was to me. So incredible saddening. Her mother had to have known. What a horrific nightmare this poor girl was living.
Who is this “expert?” She needs to go back for far more training - having sex? Having sex? This poor CHILD was RAPED! By this “expert” saying Madeline had sex, she is being HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL and INSENSITIVE to this child - let alone, being incredibly INCORRECT! Please inform her of this and until she owns up and apologizes on air for what she said, PLEASE don’t have her back.
Why do these type of “news” reporters try to sensationalize these things in order to appeal to people’s emotions? Just share the info while being impartial and unbiaed no matter how awful it is? It’s so awful what has happened to hear but I don’t need media trying to lead me into how to feel.
