My heart breaks for the little girl and the dogs who were forced to live that way. The adults who lived there chose to live that way. The toddler and the dogs had no choice...they also had no voice to ask for help, or the ability to leave. 🥺
Damn it! WHY in the hell are there SO many situations where babies are left alone in filth???? Ok some people are poor and can't afford childcare and food.... BUT U CANT LEAVE A BABY ALONE!!!! YOU CAN CLEAN UR HOME!!!
slinkysmurfette That's my question also. It's a new generation of heartless people on earth in America and on a more massive scale I bet then ever. The things I see on yt?. Unfathomable. Luckily there are the wonderful people also. Like the people who adapt orphans and give them a loving caring home to live in.
If you reasonably suspect an infant is alone, CALL a child protective agency ie law enforcement, county child protective services, 911. You DON'T HAVE TO "know". Use your head, neighbors!
" we've been hearing the pitter patter of lil feet for months and we wondered if the child might b alone"......BUT STILL.....THEY DID NOTHING!!!!! UNTIL OF COURSE A LEAK OCCURED, THAT EFFECTED THEM!!!! THEN THEY'RE ALL OF A SUDDEN RUNNIN UP THERE!! PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!!..SMH...
@brenda horn ..that would've been a very kind thing to do. A good Christian thing to do. You are a very nice person. And had some nice person like u have done that, who knows, u coulda helped the mom out and the kids. This is wut all of us should be doing for eachother. God bless u ma'am.
She thought the child was alone for how long?! Why didn't she FIND out. What is wrong with people?!? These little ones are at the mercy of some unfit parents, it is EVERYONE's responsibility to check it out. SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! It's not that difficult, make an effort. You could save a child's life, or at least get them out of horrible situations. I'm sorry, but I hear this too many times. The neighbors thought it was unusual.........then find out. If it isn't bad fine, at least you cared to check it out! This is something I get very emotional about and it is getting worse as time goes by........we all need to step it up, please for the stolen innocence of these children and for God's sake
@Samantha Cole Depending on the state but in Illinois, it is considered neglect, not abuse. The investigation is the same, punishment is the same, the terms are different.
Ikr Number One. In my apt, the wall in the bathtub started leaking water into the downstairs apt and we didn't realize it. Neighbors called the landlord and they came and told us about it, looked at what needed to be done, water was leaking through the sealant between the tiles
Actually it is possible I know that my upstairs neighbors have a herd of kiddos who run&stomp all the time &even way late into the day.. personally I would say too late for any child to be awake but it's not my kids so what I'm supposed do anyways I see the adults always there they continue to be loud with their lil party feet 😂 because I do not complain about it I figure it's kids that obviously haven't been parented proper &their just kids it's not their fault..I hate to hear about any kids sweet babies suffering &being hurt or negatively effected ..so sad
Poor sweet baby girl..breaks my heart...💔😭💔...thank you Lord for saving that sweet lil baby & please give her complete comfort & peace &a loving family to adopt her &give her the life she deserves..❤️🙏❤️
Thank God that the child is finally out of that house of horrors. I'm glad that the pets were removed too. The REAL animals were the parents ! Thanks to the neighbor for calling the police.
" we thought the little toddler was left there alone...but how do we know??!!" how about you knock on the door & introduce yourself to your neighbor?! how about checking on the welfare of a child just in case?! whats wrong with neighbors who cant be bothered?! if you even think that maybe something is wrong, something is not right...do something. the parent could have died (thats happened before & the baby starved to death, found weeks later & could have been saved by any caring neighbor who just would have taken a moment to check)....if you're afraid to get involved yourself, call the police to check.
Alexandra nyc I just stated the same thing in another comment....if you hear little feet running around & never hear adult movement or talking, coughing or sneezing then something is wrong use your brains stop looking the other way & having the attitude that you don't want to get involved! You hear stories of people dying of heroin overdoses & children being found dead or one baby was even found alive with maggots in diaper from rash an near death....good GOD people need to be more observant!
Doubtful. If there was dog feces and urine all over the floor, then the dogs weren't being taken care of either, and they certainly weren't being taken outside for walks or to go to the bathroom.
Gennie Jefferson More than likely, the parents are either suffering from mental illness or drug addiction. Those two maladies can cause such disconnection and impairment that parents are not able to care for their own offspring. Perhaps this is best for the child. (S)he may get the opportunity to be truly loved and wanted.
@@marydavis9463 stop giving them excuses. They could of turned over that baby to a family member or any fire station if they could not care for it. We as a society have to stop the excuses!!!
@Honeysuckle Blossom My parent was the same as those people, there was nothing physically or mentally wrong with her! I have seen people with disabilities do very well with their children. There can not be excuses!! Everyone, and I mean everyone who can't or don't care for their children should have them removed. And what about family members who turn a blind eye? Hold the parents responsible!!!
Yes the devil is running like a mad man and those who blame God, don't know him and are full of the evil one for even thinking God is to blame. Turn from your wicked ways and let God show you who he is.
It’s a multi family house so no, they don’t live in the same house, they live in the same building. I live in Connecticut and we have a lot of old (pre 1900s) multi family homes. Those type are super sturdy unlike newer houses with cheaper material and hollow thin walls. It’s amazing how many times I’ve walked down stairs passed my neighbors door (that happens to be open at the moment) and smell smells that I never smell with the door closed. If you’re on the first floor you’re more than likely not gonna smell anything cuz it’s rising up the common hallway like heat rises. I’ve had times where I left my trash in the landing (for a moment before leaving the house) by the time I get to the second floor from the third it smells fresh down there. Not condoning the parents in any of this but it’s very easy when your neighbor is over you instead of next to you to not notice things.
Nikki R. Okay you feel that way but the woman said she could hear little feet running around & if you never heard adult feet or movement or even voices or someone coughing or sneezing! You hear movement if more than one person is in the house I would have questioned it for sure.....what if it had turned out differently & they found the little girl dead how would the neighbor feel then for not being proactive and checking on this child's welfare or rather just calling the police to a well check visit....people need to use the brains God gave them & stop with the looking away & I don't want to get involved attitude! 🤨🤨🤨
Sherry Knowles They had a very good point though, and even so they probably didn’t want to disturb “them” because it’s not their section of the complex. And I’m sorry but not everyone is going to do something or investigate right away, at first when they feel like something is off, they weren’t even sure if the girl has always been alone, they could’ve thought they were just assuming things and didn’t want to get involved. However they did when they seemed to be fed up with it, so the “not wanting to get involved attitude” is something a lot of people do because sometimes in a lot situations people feel like they shouldn’t get involved it’s not always people don’t want to.
My neighbor downstairs used to put his baby in a closet because he would cry out of fear I believe. I called sheriff department. I can't stand a child suffering.he stay home dad collect SSI and gf would come home who worked an baby would stop crying.then he would physically block stairwell so I would use back entrance.mentally unfit to raise children.
Thank God the water leaked into the neighbors apartment, because there is no telling what would have happened to that sweet child, had that not happened.
Heartbreaking for the young child and the dogs😰I hope they are all getting the love and care they deserve and need,and are now living in homes where they are not neglected 😰I hope the parents/dog owners where charged 🤬
The saddest part of this whole story is they will probably give her back to her parents! The Social Worker says there is a big difference between ABUSE & NEGLECT... BS THEY ARE BOTH ABUSE! Until we change this way of thinking the precious babies & children with be returned to their monster parents! This country needs to wake the hell up & stop burying their heads in the sand when it comes to abuse & sexual abuse of children & abuse of animals they are all helpless to defend themselves! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Neighbor If you suspected something was wrong you say something. Your inteview was unneccessary. Thank God It wasn't to late for these poor babies. The parents failed those children as well as the neighbor. I pray that those children are happy safe and thriving.
PEOPLE NEED TO REPORT THINGS EVEN IF ITS WRONG INFO BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY BUT POOR CHILD HER PARENT NEVER SHOULD GET HER BACK OF COURSE WE DON'T KNO THE WHOLE STORY BUT THE FACT A 2 YEAR OLD WAS ALONE IS ENOUGH AND GLAD THEY GOT HELP FOR THE ANIMALS TOO
That is so sad the parents left their little girl for months they said so she was probably being raised by the dogs as a feral child so sad for the little girl and her dogs that kept her safe 😭 I hope they all get a good home!!!!
I'm sorry but there is a difference between neglect and abuse is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard. As a senior child protection specialist for 12 years in Australia hear me when I say neglect is abuse and abuse is neglect. There is no difference.
People living down below should get in just as much trouble for not reporting it!!! F all of them!! We are suppose to make sure our children are safe!! This is sick!!
Dogs love are unconstitutional. Something that comes to them naturally. Some human would only love you, if something in it for them. Like Ana Nicole Smith who married a 275 year old man and went to court and told us that she truly loved him. She also said, she does her wife things.
Disgusting. Poor kid. If you even think a child might be abused or neglected, how about doing something about it? Go upstairs on a pretense and knock on the door. If there’s no answer and you still hear what could be a child, call the police and CPS. Afraid to knock? Just call.
The people should have checked the apartment out. Should have been reported months ago. No child should go through that . What if the baby had die? Would they say oh I’m sorry . I didn’t think to check. Awful neighbors & awful parents to leave her like that. Hope they r n jail. That’s where the parents need to be
Met that mother and boyfriend whoever it is be forced to live in that house they need serious prison time where the other inmates find out what they did their life ain't want their life when that be worth a nickel
I've said this before, but it needs to be said again: There had to be a process in place to establish whether adults, and even sub-adults are fit to become parents. And if they are not, they should be prevented from doing so. Too many kids are forced to live in environments in which they are either neglected, violated or abused - not to mention just abandoned and left to die ... NO! Something drastic needs to be done to change this paradigm.
This has been going on for years and you have stupid people saying stop abortion. For those that are sooooo against abortion please start adopting some of the unwanted children oohhh everybody is quite now.
Tim I have been saying for years that she should have to be approved in order to have a human being.Like a house you have to be approved the same thing should happen with children. Diane Downs shot 3 children and got pregnant. Should she be able to bring a helpless baby into the world I would be petrified to be in her belly.
To drive a car you need to pass a test. But anyone can bring a child in this world. It's too bad you don't have to prove you will be a good parent before you can become one.
Why would you want to leave a two-year-old in the house that can fend for himself you should be locked up regardless and your house should not be that dirty where it's unlivable to live in
WERE. IS. THE. MOTHER. THIS. IS. CRAZY. CRAZY. THANK. GOD. FOR. THE. PEOPLE. NEXT. DOOR. FOR. SAVING. THAT. TWO. YEAR. OLD. BABY. LIFE. THERE. IS. A. GOD. PEOPLE. WAKE. UP. 🙏🙏🙏
I agree no doubt &yes kids can be very resourceful when they have no other choice ..I saw a case on the news or somewhere that said a 4 year old was found caring for her toddler &baby siblings..and theirs the ones who took a trip to Mexico for vacation leaving the kids to care for themselves complete ignorance totally rediculous saddest thing to here ...so yes kids can be very resourceful & overcome barriers they shouldnt have to ...when need be they go into survivor mode.. they should never have to fend for themselves ....or care for their siblings & themselves ..they should simply be enjoying their childhood..so so 😢
