The foster mom, Andrea,is my good friend and co worker. I watch you ,Christina, every week and have for a long time. I appreciate your heart and compassion in your videos. So when I saw this video, it hit close to home. I thought you did a good job of researching and covering this story. Please know that the foster mom still thinks of Dylan every day and mourns his passing. She is a caring loving soul, just as you portrayed. Dylans loss was such a sad and unnecessary loss. I too wish the best for Dylans brother and think of him often. May Dylans memory last and laws be passed to prevent this from ever happening to another baby. RIP sweet baby Dylan.
@ Glenda Gullion I hope you’ll let her know how much everyone who learns of this horrific tragedy are hurting for her. I feel an overwhelming outpouring of love and sympathy for this poor lady, on such a deep level. Please send her our love, and thank her for me for giving that sweet angel the only love he ever received
I pray that her heart heals a little more each day. She was heaven sent for Dylan. I hope you see all of the comments sending love to her & I hope you pass that on to her!
It’s not the CPS workers decision.. it’s way above their heads unfortunately. I worked in foster care and the entire system is so incredibly broken. It’s appalling.
Listening to the injuries literally makes me sick . I can't imagine how much pain this poor baby experienced before he died . So terrible these people ever had children. Makes you wonder how the first child survived .I have no sympathy for this women either. These people should never be let out of prison imo.
They could have just given the baby up if they hated him so much. It doesn't make since why she wanted him so bad after referring to him as it not wanting to hug him.
@@mooniie5072 because they.dont its a pay check to them they take kid's out of good homes and good familys then put the kids in foster homes and screw the kid up. The kids that are damaged they kick thoughs kids to the curb
“you don’t remember this chain? the 6 layers of plastic and duct tape? 3 padlocks, 12 zip ties, 8 wire ties, 18 rocks? you don’t remember that?” that gave me chills
They should've done same thing to the parents but while there still alive. I wish I could travel the country and take all the child abusers for a ride. I'd take them to a place were we can torcher them like they do to there children. .
I cried when I saw that beautiful baby like omg he was so freaking precious and the thing is they obviously didn’t want the baby there was a foster mother who loved that baby and wanted him smh if he wouldn’t have gone back he’d still be alive today everyone failed this baby everyone besides the foster mother gosh I feel so horrible for her she held that baby constantly imagine the bond she had with that precious baby boy imagine the jerks and sweating all of it that poor women saw all of this smh I cried damn near this whole video
What I don’t understand is, if this mother was so indifferent towards that child from the moment he was born , why did they go to all that trouble faking urine samples to get the child back only to kill him and dispose of him like he was nothing?? So many questions and such a heartbreaking outcome 💔
My mother is like this. She may not want something but she doesn't want anyone else to have it either. This goes with people animals items everything. It's a narcissistic trait I believe.
I know, she spent 12 days holding and making sure that baby felt the love and security and to have to turn him over to monsters, that baby had to live in that for 31/2 months, I don’t understand why the parents didn’t just send him back to the foster mom, why?????
I know. She was so excited to have that sweet baby. She held him all of the time and was really helping him heal from the withdrawals. CPS was insane to give him back to the dad. They really need to investigate things more- this could’ve been prevented 😭

I live in Australia and I just want to say that the Department of Child Services is just as negligent here- I was in and out of care from age 10-18. They would prematurely place me back into the care of my mum and then within 2-4 weeks I was placed into foster care again. At age 14 I was placed back with my mum, 13 days later she knocked me unconscious with a pan. A COOKING PAN. I needed stitches in my head. The signs were always there, I was vocal about the abuse and I was still put into their care time and time again.
I'm in Australia too, I had to do child protection training for my work a few years back, they told us that the number one priority now is to continue to try to place children back with their bio parents because foster care and adoption caused too much trauma. I've always wondered about it when I hear stories like yours.
I hope you have found ways to heal from all the instability and abuse, at least to some extent and know that you deserved/deserve to be loved! Blessings to you 💙💙💙
We need more foster moms like Andrea. She took a baby born addicted on short notice and cared for Dylan. This sweet baby had a short life but I am grateful that Dylan had Andrea. If for only a brief time he had a loving mommy.
This reason. I didn’t plan my pregnancy but something inside me knew this was a gift, a blessing. 7 years later and I don’t know who I would be without my baby.
I just had a miscarriage at 8 weeks.. this was my 1st ever!! I'm 34 yrs old and waited til now... but my luck was not to be a mom right now. How do people get to have beautiful things like children and not care for them.. I cant even believe that God thinks they are more capable than me..and they aren't even there for their babies. This kills my heart so much! I just want one kid.. but adopting is starting to look like my future. (Nothing is wrong with that...just saying)
This brought me to tears. People who work for Child Services should be held accountable. The job should be taken seriously. Children are our future we got to protect them better.
Yessss!!! They NEED to be held accountable!! Or nothing will change! WHY are they not held accountable?!! Children are dying because of their poor decisions, and nothing happens? Try that as a nurse or doctor and you will lose your license to practice..
STORY REQUEST: The Carmina Salcido story. Her dad killed her entire family and she survived after her dad left her for dead. This happened in my county in 1989. It was horrific.
Yes! is one of the most horrific stories ever and no one talk about it. The saddest part is that she was also abused by her adopted parents later. That poor girl breaks my heart.
@@ghfamghgam1172 no, that has nothing to do with it. In ohio you can only get cash assistance for 1 year. The cash amount doesn't change with the # of children. Also you HAVE to be in a job class every day 8am-330pm in order to collect your benefits. These people were not going to job classes every day- noooo fuqin way! I really don't understand whyyy they wanted to keep him so bad, when it was apparent they didn't want him from the start??? Do they NOT know about the safe haven laws? They could have dropped him off at ANY fire department, police station or hospital without any questions!
Cps is awful kids get taken over mean family members etc who call and if the parent smokes weed they take them. I've heard such ridiculous reasons why cps has taken kids or tried to take kids. Yet they don't take them when actually needed
I work for CPS in MO. I have watched these videos and have NO idea why in the hell Ohio CPS let the parents have Dylan. MO CPS would not have allowed it. This horrifies me. I am an investigator and take the children's safety seriously...I just don't get it. Why??? :( :/ ;(
Cps is a joke they take kids away from family's whom they shouldn't meanwhile children's are getting molested and they let them stay they tried taking my child away over a dumb reason...I wasn't having it I know the games they play
But what about when they do? This and quite a few cases end badly but so many Forster carers are just as bad. But yes I agree it is heartbreaking when a baby is. Safe and now has been removed from that safe place
@@myreality5959 Well, the system needs to be fixed. That's another story, but, anywhere would have been better than in their hands. Too many crazies out there. If I had superpowers, they would be being able to save everyone from the crazies and put them all on a sand island with only one knife.
A friend of mine quit being a social worker because of the stress and anxiety of having to send kids back to (what was obvious to her) a toxic environment and violent parents. Because of whatever reason of not having enough evidence or whatever. She said it would break her heart to see tbem crying and begging not to be sent back.
My sister used to work for Children's Aid many years ago and also left, feeling the system was even more effed than she'd thought. She'd been hoping to help make positive changes from within....I did the same with politics. Exact same, just different fields. To her credit, my sister lasted longer at CAS than I did in politics.
The thought of these two idiots thinking they could outsmart the system by having her take the blame so he could get off and raise the child that they said they cared about.
If she came in all strung out and the baby was born addicted, then she showed no interest, why tf would anyone knowingly release this child to these people ever. Not right.
Ridiculous but they took my friends child because she had Marijuana in her system because she had no idea she was pregnant until she was 6 months in. Wasn't showing, didn't have any symptoms etc. Baby was completely fine, very healthy, scored a 9 on the Apgar. And cps was called and she has been working hard af to get her child back for the past 9 months. I hate the system. Im working to get custody of him now but i have a felony so they're making it very difficult even though my house is paid for, I have 4 children that are very well taken care of. A very healthy bank account. Its just ridiculous and very frustrating.
God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Son of God and died on a cross for our sins! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus Christ from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and live for Jesus as He died for you! Trust God!! 🥰
Yes! I've always said, "every child deserves a parent, not every parent deserves a child". The system ABSOLUTELY failed this child. The foster mom SHOULD have been granted custody atleast for an extended period. They should be smart enough to know if you are married to a H addict then the spouse must likely is as well .. not always, and I'm not saying anything bad here.. addicts can change IF they truly want to, but in this case someone should have HAD to watch him pee TO BE SURE that he wasn't making someone else do it for him. The system ABSOLUTELY failed in so many ways in this case. Also hello 👋 hope you are having a lovely day 😊 💗
I have to very strongly agree with you it's just sad she must have felt so very heart broken knowing that doomed poor little defenceless baby that could not defend his self was going to be returned to those monsters they should be punished in the same way and trauma that Dylan went through.
You know who needs support right now, the adoptive Mom. She’s probably thinking awful things like “I should have pushed it, I should have tried harder” I don’t know how to lift her up, but I want to
True, which is heartbreaking. She did the best she could with the information she had at the time there’s literally no way this was her fault or she could’ve known. Poor poor lady, she gave that baby love while he was alive 💔
@Oksana there's no wondering. Even if he was the proverbial Golden Child; it's abusive that he was the only adult in the household. Christina even made note of it. Overly mature children like him, they are a red flag that warrants a double take.
Watching her up on the stand made me wanna throw hands..She clearly only cares about herself. May that poor innocent baby Rest In Peace, and I hope that Andrea knows what an amazing person she is. I just can’t imagine having to go through that
@Mia S. K. The teacher did more to try to help Gabriel than anyone else did. Sad fact: over a three year period Los Angeles County CPS received 60 (that's right, SIXTY) calls about Gabriel being abused.
And sweet little Gabriel was in a loving home at one time. with his uncle and his partner. Glad he was loved by them. Why he was returned to his monstrous, evil mom, I’ll never understand
I have a 4 month old and this whole story broke my heart. What kind of monster does this to their poor helpless infant. It’s so awful it’s almost unbelievable!
The fact that these two monsters are healthcare professionals, and they do that to this precious little baby is criminal. They deserve the same treatment they have that baby. 😞
I have never heard a lawyer be so combative and yell at a defendant in court..😳 ever! Also,I'm astounded that her counsel didn't object or stop it or whatever(but even they probably realized she deserved it)🤨
"I don't want to blame the system too much" NO. F that. The system is totally at fault for Dylan's death. The foster mother had to practically BEG CPS to allow Dylan to stay with her. Of course the parents are to blame 100% for the death because you can't blame a skunk for smelling bad. Those two monsters have nothing redeemable and should be left to rot. But the SYSTEM should have been far more attentive to the situation.
The sad part is that if a foster parent shows too much "connection" to their foster kid, they can lose the ability to care for said kid and other kids. I was a foster kid, and it sucked when I'd get a foster parent I felt attached to, and they reciprocated that attachment I'd get moved. There needs to be better protections for kids in state care. Better protections in general for kids and adults at risk. Or for animals at risk . My heart goes out to the little guy and the foster parent(s).
This poor baby went through so much in his 2 months of life than most adults do in their whole life. RIP baby Dylan. Everything about this case is just beyond horrible.
Ikt! I keep thinking about the Foster mother saying he wanted to be held all of the time and she held him. What a shock it must have been for Dylan going from unconstitutional love to horrible abuse.
I feel like I am very emotionally strong, and listen to crime videos and podcasts on a regular basis, but this video has me in tears. That poor baby boy was failed by the system and experienced a horrible short life. It makes me furious and emotional that so many children experience this. I will hug my own baby boy extra tight today.
I'm 5 years clean. My daughter was born addicted. I got clean i got healthy and I got right for my baby. It breaks my heart i didnt do it sooner i wish this mama had done it too. God knows if we mean well by our babies.
So proud of u for speaking up I too have children and my 3rd daughter was born addicted I actually went to rehab for 11 months (where I could have her with me thank God for First Step Home here in Cincinnati ohio) but I went through alot with her in her first few months and here we r 3 years later and my baby is still with me! She is beautiful smart and perfect .. thank the lord.. so happy I changed my life for my self and my children !!
Hi, Christina. This actually happened where I live. 2 DCBS workers have been indicted for child endangerment relating to this case AND a separate one where 5 year old Annabell Greene was also murdered in the same county, July 2020 suffering multiple injuries and bruises about her body/head. Other children placed in their home (grandparents) had also been abused. DCBS is 100% liable in these cases along with the abusers for not properly doing their job and ensuring safety for these children. In baby Dylan's case, documents had been forged and home visits weren't done when they were supposed to be. Baby Dylan died in March at only 2 months old. The community was/is absolutely OUTRAGED towards DCBS when these murders occured that could've been avoided. These cases have left a scar on the community. DCBS needs to step up around this area because precious babies dying at the hands of monsters due to neglecting their jobs is UNACCEPTABLE!
I feel for your community but DCPS is underfunded, overworked and exasperated by their inability to do the job they chose to do properly! Imagine having 40-50 families that you have to visit every month at least once! 50 families like these people that need heaps of time every few days yet they are hinged by laws eg having to give baby Dylan back to these killers even if you know in your heart it's the wrong decision....This job is SOUL DESTROYING!! BL, governments need to see DCPS in a different light, one that helps in the moment to help in the future! Give them all the funds they need, change laws e.g. blood tests instead of urine tests before babies are returned AND only 15 cases at a time for each social worker! These people do a thankless, insurmountable job!
Baloney, no excuse, stop justifying a baby is dead and a chilld. I don't care how overworked or underpaid..no excuse.. Thank you for speaking up in your county ..keep speaking up and ignore this for excusing CPS abuse!! Rock on!
@@Jaya-zn7vr I get what you're saying, and you're not necessarily wrong, but that's the state of things across the board. The world, even. Still doesn't excuse these *_preventable_* deaths. You do the best you can with what you have, not a half-assed job and go 🤷🏽♀️ oh well. They're supposed to serve a purpose. They're not fulfilling that purpose. This is a problem.
God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Son of God and died on a cross for our sins! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus Christ from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and live for Jesus as He died for you! Trust God!! 🥰
it is so disturbing to think a persons brain could even think about doing that to an innocent baby but to act on it is just pure evil and to think she was a nurse and would have been around other peoples children just makes me feel so sick
Yup or could it have been for money?. Do Americans get like benefits from their government?. Here you get them if you don't work and get more if you have a child. Could this be a reason for them wanting to keep hold of him? As they certainly didn't give a stuff about the little man.
I watched the trial footage and the prosecutor did not hold back. My favorite part was when she shouted "how did you murder this baby!" And she kept on demanding to know what that woman did to that baby. She showed no mercy
As a woman who is struggling with infertility, the emotions I feel when it comes to this sort of thing are unbelievable! Poor baby boy! I hope he’s at peace! 😭😭
I also struggle with infertility and severe endometriosis and a lack of ovulation. As someone who would love to have a baby one day, knowing that people like this can just throw away their opportunity to be parents and take away the life of a precious baby. That baby had an opportunity in life with his foster mom. But because they were his bio parents, that overruled. CPS should be ashamed. 12 days. This is evil. CPS should be held accountable for this untimely reunification.
I had an ectopic rupture where I lost a son and almost lost my life. I only have one fallopian tube and was told if I try again I have a 40% chance of it being ectopic. Now that I’m almost 40, I just threw the whole idea out the window and came to terms with it. But this case.. ugh! I just can’t! That baby was fighting for his life since conception. Sigh* she’s lucky I’m not in the prison system cause I would be inflicting violence on her every chance I get 😢😡
it is truly a sick cosmic joke that wonderful people cannot conceive children, yet literal monsters can get pregnant within one try. i know this comment is a year old but i hope you’ve had some luck, or at least some peace and self acceptance🤍
Honestly same this makes me glad for sheriffs like my grandfather, he was also a jailer and his office could be accessed by the inmates if he left the door open so he'd leave the door open with the newest child molesters/rapist/killers files on his desk then tell the inmates his going to lunch "forget" he left the door open...
Christina- I’m sitting here in tears. This hits me extra hard. My fiancé and I were addicted before I got pregnant. I am clean now (have been for years) and our son is two. I was able to get off of everything and my son is healthy now. Thank you Jesus for changing my life! ❤️you Christina.
I watched the trial, and it was one of the hardest thing I’ve ever watched. I was so angry with the parents. I was angry with CPS. I went and held my then 8 month old and just wept for Dylan.
I truly can’t explain my anger towards this “monster” who gave birth to a little angel. I have zero sympathy for those people. I can only pray she gets what she deserves in prison.
My aunt retired working for cps... she’s had the most horrible stories... she felt pretty much like it’s so bad out there how can I make a difference? But she did.. she was an angel for the kids she did save. My heart goes out to all the ppl out there who do this for a living. 😢❤️
I was studying to be a therapist, but after volunteering for a summer I had to quit, it’s too heart breaking 😔... It takes a very strong person to see so much evil day in and day out and not break down, I couldn’t do it. Kudos to your aunt for making a difference in those children’s life.
Finally someone that says something nice. People talk sooo much about these workers. That they are all corrupt and don't care. There is some that care. There is some that put their lives at risk for these kids. Thank you for those kind words. ❤
@@AVALDEZ99 lmao, there are non that put their lives at risk, they are all lying, sniveling, dishonest and not trust worthy... trust me, I know first hand on how they operate and have plenty of proof. The biggest thing I cant figure out is how they sleep at night and live day to day knowing how evil they are, I've NEVER heard a good story, not even partially coming from a child that was in their custody, ALWAYS horror stories and when they need to make a sound decision look how it turns out, with death or children being hurt in their custody either worse than being home... they need to involve themselves and make the parents educate themselves and be positive towards the children but never remove the child from the home because it messes up the childs head, unless its dire and a child court judge told me that when I interviewed him... so maybe there's a 1 percent chance of good workers but its scarce and on interview of some ex CPS employees, they liked the paycheck and it was pretty much a leisure posistion that they took out of college because they needed the experience or to make money until they found their way to their job of choice.
@@joediblasio1846 I disagree. The paycheck really? No... sorry there is some that do work for the children. You have your opinion & I have mine. I know some that are great workers. To each their own.
They probably wanted to be able to claim him for benefits from the government and once they realized they hurt him bad they felt the need to hide it no matter what so they wouldn’t go to prison
I babysat my 8 month old nephew for 4 days and got so attached I thought I was going to have to just go live with them!!! I never dreamed I would be so attached after only 4 days. I cannot imagine how hard to let a foster child leave after days, months or years!!!
I have some fertility issues and have been trying for 14 years ( this is the last year we’re going to try) and they’re over here, blessed with 2 babies and do this 🥺💔🤢 disgusting and heartbreaking. Wish all the great mothers out there the best and hope all those trying, get their miracle. Props to the amazing dads out there too 💖
I too, have fertility issues (I’ve given up and I’m ok with that) and watching stories like this, makes me so infuriated and sad at the same time 😔 But good luck on your journey ✨baby dust ✨ ☺️☺️
I lost a few before I got a miracle one. Best of luck to you!!!! 👍👍👍 I totally get your point. I would get so mad that uncaring people could just pop em out in droves, yet i couldn't manage to keep one...i feel ya! ❤️
My wife and I are in the same situation. We are about to start fostering as soon as we can. It’s so not fair that people like this can conceive so easily!
My niece was in foster care for about 3 months when they proved her mother was abusive while I was going through loops to get custody of her. Thankfully she had wonderful foster parents at the time. When I got custody, I allowed them to keep in contact though it was mostly via mail due to living a whole state away & every Christmas they would send her a gift in the mail. If a foster parent can do this, why can't a real parent?!?
Because the "real parent(s)" in these cases isn't/aren't really a human being(s) and is/are completely incapable of being a parent. The wonderful Foster parents out there get a bad rap from the awful Foster Parents who do it for the money and treat their charges like animals or worse. The awful cases make the news, the wonderful ones don't ... they are the ones who should. But good news doesn't sell like bad news. 😞
This was so heartbreaking! All I can think about is baby Dylan… being taken away from a MOTHER that was taking care of him, consoling and nurturing him, being patient with him. I can’t even finish this post. Smh.
Kudos to the prosecutor. I know some people say it might be unprofessional to yell in court but i dont blame her. This woman was clearly lying over and over. Id yell at her too.
That’s the most heartbreaking thing about this case. Dylan could have had an incredible life with this foster mother. If not with her, with someone who actually wanted to love him how he deserved.
@@kirstymufleh1673 i’ve never had kids but if a little baby needed to be held or if i ever have a baby of my own i’d be doing everything i can to give it comfort. i’ve always thought that volunteering to cuddle babies born addicted would be very rewarding since i heard about it. holding a baby is pretty amazing
I used to work for CPS as a social worker and I had a similar case like that, single mom addicted to pain killers. The difference was she never got her baby back and he ended up being adopted by his foster mom. This is what Dylan should’ve had. System failed him.
When my 14 yr old was born prematurely bc of my blood pressure, I couldn't see him for 24 hrs bc of my health... I drove the nurses nuts asking how he was. They kept taking pics for me so I could relax and let the magnesium lower my blood pressure. Longest 24 hrs ever. How can anyone hurt a baby? I'm crying now bc it hurts my heart someone can be so awful. Thank God for the foster mom who showed that baby love.
30 minutes in, Christina, girl you're right on spot. I deeply admire the sheer strength and courage it must have taken for you to cover this story and to be the voice for sweet baby Dylan. God bless you for that!! 🙏
It’s so sad but these workers are over worked and have a case load bug enough for 5 people... not enough ppl want to do this type of work it takes a special kind of person and they usually burn out or stop caring
I just discovered this channel I also just saw this Groves case I know its old. I’m a therapist as well as spent 20 yrs as a social worker CPS failed simply failed ..I watched the trial that mother is delusional and I could not feel sorry for her. Love your channel glad I found you ❤
Totally! An the mother still goes like "I´m done talking to you", like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!? She fakes crying saying that she lost her children when she was beating a 4 month baby, if she had any kind of remorse she would´ve called the police instead of throwing him on a well. I can´t!!
This makes me so angry. They could have surrendered the baby for adoption with little to no effort and kept on living their shit lives. It’s like they put in the effort to get him back just to torture him. So horrific. I hope the “father” never gets parole. I feel bad for the older son, none of it’s his fault, but he’ll still probably live with survivor’s guilt and regret. Poor guy, I’m sure he was physically and emotionally abused and forced to help his dad with the clean UA’s.
CPS is a joke, my son was starting to act abused after leaving his father and gfs house, they did NOTHING. because he needed a FRESH bruise. The pic I had was too old. 😡 My baby is in therapy now for anger issues 😥
Thats messed up, I am so sorry this has happened to your son. Here's some love for the both of you, It may not be much for a random Internet person but hopefully you'll get through this 💖💖

I'm 8 weeks pregnant today and utterly horrified and heartbroken for baby Dylan. I waited so long for this baby, I can't even comprehend causing harm to any child, let alone such a defenseless infant 😥💔
I watched all of that AND she WAS Dylan’s voice! Momma bear came out of her full force for this Angel. She was his voice, and MADE HIS VOICE BE HEARD! I love her!
I still pray for Dylan’s foster mom, Andrea. She was Dylan’s angel and I have no doubt he felt so much love while she was taking care of him. I know he will be waiting for her with the man upstairs.
Me too! That was one of the hardest parts for me to watch. I hope to God Daniel JR hasn’t developed PTSD. Sadly I’m sure he will experience some level. He’s not even graduated HS and he’s going to have deal with intense grief, fear, anger, shame and much more. I truly hope he has the support system and MH care he needs.
I got great satisfaction watching the prosecutor just hammer that mom! She yelled at her and the judge didn’t say a thing. Heck, I even showed both my kids the prosecutor examinations of that woman. They were both impressed as well!!
I felt for Andrea so badly. She wanted to raise baby Dylan, all the parents hadda do was say we don't want him. What both the children went thru is inhuman, but my heart goes out to andrea. Plz share the love and prayers still expressed to this day by me and many people. Dylan and his foster mom deserved better....
@@peepsevol I get where you come from but I personally believe that she shouldn't die yet, I want her to FEEL the guilt, cuz guilt is a very lethal thing for a person..... If her death is so easy she has faced NOTHING of what she put baby dylan through...
Right?!? Like, did she expect everyone to sympathize and say, "Awww, well, you did murder your helpless infant...but you've totally suffered enough! Who are we to judge?"
I definitely don’t let my kids watch watch the crime related vids I love so much for the obvious reasons but as soon as I cue up your vids both my kiddos can and do your into after which they giggle and say moms watching her videos! They think they’re so cool...gotta admit tho it’s rly cute and makes me smile!
From what I've seen & heard: Child services either puts a good (good enough) family thru hell, OR let things like this happen. And I DO blame them as much as the abusers/killers bc obviously Child services are the only sane ones in the room... expectedly anyway.
They're currently putting my kids, husband, and I through hell. We love our kids. We care for our kids day in and out. They're fed, clothed, have every toy they could want, yet the school called in a report of neglect because my son was considered underweight because of the meds he was on. Here we are a year later trying to get our case closed but they're dragging it out. Despite talking to my kids and them telling the social worker that I cook dinner every night and they eat a bunch at the sitters. They grilled my children. Asked them how they get punished. Asked them if they feel like mom and dad love them. They asked my kids if anyone touches their privates. Like that was never even part of the case. I asked them why they'd even ask that. Their response was "you were molested as a child. Most victims go on to molest their kids." I'm over it.
I’ve been in jail many times with women who have committed horrific crimes against children and oddly they always seem to find their group of friends and do just fine!!
That woman yelling at her in court is giving me LIFE RIGHT NOW OMG thank God for that woman. I am literally crying for this poor baby boy. Can't even believe this.
If I were to ever be in prison, and someone like her came in and I know what she did... let me tell ya, I’d be willing to get more time to take care of that situation. I really hope she’s getting what she deserves in prison! And CPS is a very failed system!
The foster mom, Andrea,is my good friend and co worker. I watch you ,Christina, every week and have for a long time. I appreciate your heart and compassion in your videos. So when I saw this video, it hit close to home. I thought you did a good job of researching and covering this story. Please know that the foster mom still thinks of Dylan every day and mourns his passing. She is a caring loving soul, just as you portrayed. Dylans loss was such a sad and unnecessary loss. I too wish the best for Dylans brother and think of him often. May Dylans memory last and laws be passed to prevent this from ever happening to another baby. RIP sweet baby Dylan.
@ Glenda Gullion I hope you’ll let her know how much everyone who learns of this horrific tragedy are hurting for her. I feel an overwhelming outpouring of love and sympathy for this poor lady, on such a deep level. Please send her our love, and thank her for me for giving that sweet angel the only love he ever received
Please tell her she’s in our prayers. She’s an angel
Please send her our love ❤️
Glenda, please tell Andrea that I am so very sorry about the loss of baby Dylan.
Everyone knows she loved him as if he were her own precious son.
I pray that her heart heals a little more each day. She was heaven sent for Dylan. I hope you see all of the comments sending love to her & I hope you pass that on to her!
CPS should never have let Dylan go back to his parents so quickly. He never had a chance with them.
Unfortunately the CPS system is very broken 😔
Maybe CPS needs to be charged with something. This was gross negligence on their part.
Exactly. How do they live with themselves?? Something needs to change
It's appalling. I am so sick of them failing the children. How could they be so stupid? It's unbelievable.
It’s not the CPS workers decision.. it’s way above their heads unfortunately. I worked in foster care and the entire system is so incredibly broken. It’s appalling.
That prosecuter was a beast in the trial, she never went easy on her and never took any BS! first time Ive seen a trial like this.
I agree! Her closing argument was the best that I’ve ever heard.
I love lawyers like her. Her closing argument I felt like I was watching a good crime movie.
Me too loved that prosecutor!!!
the evil parents deserves this kind of trial and treatment
I was shocked. I didn’t think they was allowed.
Listening to the injuries literally makes me sick . I can't imagine how much pain this poor baby experienced before he died . So terrible these people ever had children. Makes you wonder how the first child survived .I have no sympathy for this women either. These people should never be let out of prison imo.
He only knew pain 💔 what a life 😭
They could have just given the baby up if they hated him so much. It doesn't make since why she wanted him so bad after referring to him as it not wanting to hug him.
CPS is always failing these poor children. Rest in peace to this precious baby boy.
It’s like they dont actually care it is so depressing
Thats because they do it on purpose.
@@mooniie5072 because they.dont its a pay check to them they take kid's out of good homes and good familys then put the kids in foster homes and screw the kid up. The kids that are damaged they kick thoughs kids to the curb
That's everywhere, they never care about kids...
They sure do smh. Sad stuff.
“you don’t remember this chain? the 6 layers of plastic and duct tape? 3 padlocks, 12 zip ties, 8 wire ties, 18 rocks? you don’t remember that?” that gave me chills
I cried. No joke... it broke me. I wouldn't be surprised if that prosecutor thought of bashing Jessica's head with that crate.
They should've done same thing to the parents but while there still alive. I wish I could travel the country and take all the child abusers for a ride. I'd take them to a place were we can torcher them like they do to there children. .
Sounds familiar
I cried when I saw that beautiful baby like omg he was so freaking precious and the thing is they obviously didn’t want the baby there was a foster mother who loved that baby and wanted him smh if he wouldn’t have gone back he’d still be alive today everyone failed this baby everyone besides the foster mother gosh I feel so horrible for her she held that baby constantly imagine the bond she had with that precious baby boy imagine the jerks and sweating all of it that poor women saw all of this smh I cried damn near this whole video
It broke me 2 but that lady at the trial her closing argument was emotional but she fought for dylan
I’m so happy that no one tried to tell that prosecutor to calm down and they just let her scream at her.
I LOVE that judge!
Absolutely! Some situations call for screaming!
She was absolutely savage towards her and I enjoyed it
I don't know why we have this damn department ( DCF). Useless. So many kids lost their lives because of them
What I don’t understand is, if this mother was so indifferent towards that child from the moment he was born , why did they go to all that trouble faking urine samples to get the child back only to kill him and dispose of him like he was nothing?? So many questions and such a heartbreaking outcome 💔
Ik this is an old comment, but I have the exact same question. She didn't want him to begin with so why bother trying to get him back?
My mother is like this. She may not want something but she doesn't want anyone else to have it either. This goes with people animals items everything. It's a narcissistic trait I believe.
It's terrible you're right on the head he should've been adopted
@@scootaloo6158 stopppp my dad is like this, he doesnt want us but he wants to prove a point in court juss to fuck with us its crazy
@@deannanorris03 unfortunately my mother is the same way but I still don't understand it
My heart goes out to the foster mother, I can’t imagine how heartbroken she must be.
Bless her❤️
I know, she spent 12 days holding and making sure that baby felt the love and security and to have to turn him over to monsters, that baby had to live in that for 31/2 months, I don’t understand why the parents didn’t just send him back to the foster mom, why?????
I'm guessing money😡😭
I know. She was so excited to have that sweet baby. She held him all of the time and was really helping him heal from the withdrawals. CPS was insane to give him back to the dad. They really need to investigate things more- this could’ve been prevented 😭
Right? Ugh. My heart goes out to her
Its sad the foster mom only had him 2 weeks and loved and gave him more love than his own birth giver
When she says to the prosecutor "you devoured my family" she killed her baby and she has an attitude about being prosecuted! What is wrong with her?!
Indignation, selfishness, and lack of responsibility. I’m glad she went to prison. She deserves to stay there till she goodbyes. No.
Lots of things are wrong with her. I hope she has to spend the rest of her life in solitary
Ikr
That prosecutor did go in DEEP, but they ABSOLUTELY DESERVED EVERYTHING that woman dished out!! To put it mildly!
@@samieD22 put her out with the rest of the ladies in prison,they will dispense justice for Dylan and rightly so!
I feel like prosecutors should be able to let loose on people like this.
" Boo hoo I don't remember."
" Yes you do you piece of sh*t."
I think when the prosecution went off, we all felt that. Like she was taking our anger and she voiced it
God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Son of God and died on a cross for our sins!

Here for it
Omg that should happen
Yeah its frustrating. You want to terrorize them and beat them down
I live in Australia and I just want to say that the Department of Child Services is just as negligent here- I was in and out of care from age 10-18. They would prematurely place me back into the care of my mum and then within 2-4 weeks I was placed into foster care again. At age 14 I was placed back with my mum, 13 days later she knocked me unconscious with a pan. A COOKING PAN. I needed stitches in my head. The signs were always there, I was vocal about the abuse and I was still put into their care time and time again.
I'm in Australia too, I had to do child protection training for my work a few years back, they told us that the number one priority now is to continue to try to place children back with their bio parents because foster care and adoption caused too much trauma. I've always wondered about it when I hear stories like yours.
I relate. 100%
I hope you have found ways to heal from all the instability and abuse, at least to some extent and know that you deserved/deserve to be loved! Blessings to you 💙💙💙
We need more foster moms like Andrea. She took a baby born addicted on short notice and cared for Dylan. This sweet baby had a short life but I am grateful that Dylan had Andrea. If for only a brief time he had a loving mommy.
Absolutely…God bless Andrea for being such a good hearted woman and foster mama. ❤️
His soul will always be with Andrea. She’s a true angel
I So agree with you.....the fact that he had love ....even if only for 12 days....is beautiful...made me cry !
She showed more emotion than the parents!
Andrea was a great mommy for him ❤
I believe whoever made the call to let the baby go back to his parents also needs to be held accountable. Terminated from their job at the very least.
This!!!!!!
I totally agree!!!
Yes! I'm sorry, I don't usually believe in violence but someone needs to have a fist to face "talk" with this person.
Yes! These case workers need to be CHARGED! PERIOD
@@georgiaharvey151 I also agree
And there are good women out there struggling to conceive just 1 child. This world is horrible!!!!
This reason. I didn’t plan my pregnancy but something inside me knew this was a gift, a blessing. 7 years later and I don’t know who I would be without my baby.
A very cruel reality indeed.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just had a miscarriage at 8 weeks.. this was my 1st ever!! I'm 34 yrs old and waited til now... but my luck was not to be a mom right now.
How do people get to have beautiful things like children and not care for them.. I cant even believe that God thinks they are more capable than me..and they aren't even there for their babies.
This kills my heart so much! I just want one kid.. but adopting is starting to look like my future. (Nothing is wrong with that...just saying)
My husband and I are in that situation and it's heartbreaking. We are starting treatment this week so we are trusting God
This brought me to tears. People who work for Child Services should be held accountable. The job should be taken seriously. Children are our future we got to protect them better.
This was just horrible. How can any parent do this to their child. Yes DHS should be held accountable and the parents should get lethal injection
Yessss!!!
They NEED to be held accountable!! Or nothing will change! WHY are they not held accountable?!! Children are dying because of their poor decisions, and nothing happens? Try that as a nurse or doctor and you will lose your license to practice..
STORY REQUEST: The Carmina Salcido story. Her dad killed her entire family and she survived after her dad left her for dead. This happened in my county in 1989. It was horrific.
I can't believe Raymondo is still on Death Row, what an evil man.
I remember this story, yeah do it! Great story.
Yes! is one of the most horrific stories ever and no one talk about it. The saddest part is that she was also abused by her adopted parents later. That poor girl breaks my heart.
Wow, I had never heard of that one. That's heartbreaking.
@@SoneBlink
Innkk
Monsters. That poor baby. Why didn’t they just leave him with the foster lady. You don’t want him give up your rights. So infuriating.
Pride!
State benefits?
They could have just dropped him off at a safe haven- no questions asked! They had an "out" with jfs as well. I don't get it.
@@ghfamghgam1172 no, that has nothing to do with it. In ohio you can only get cash assistance for 1 year. The cash amount doesn't change with the # of children. Also you HAVE to be in a job class every day 8am-330pm in order to collect your benefits. These people were not going to job classes every day- noooo fuqin way! I really don't understand whyyy they wanted to keep him so bad, when it was apparent they didn't want him from the start??? Do they NOT know about the safe haven laws? They could have dropped him off at ANY fire department, police station or hospital without any questions!
@@DrDIY1 oh wow thats interesting to know. Im from England, we get alot in return for nothing here if u have a child and dont work.
Just to know that baby Dylan only felt what true love was for 12 days is so heartbreaking 😢🥺🥺
You've never seen a witness get yelled at? Girl! Welcome to Ohio! The home of "We don't play with child abusers!" Love, love LOVE your channel!!
CPS took the 14 year old out of the home, BUT LEFT THE BABY?! I don’t understand this.
Cps is awful kids get taken over mean family members etc who call and if the parent smokes weed they take them. I've heard such ridiculous reasons why cps has taken kids or tried to take kids. Yet they don't take them when actually needed
I work for CPS in MO. I have watched these videos and have NO idea why in the hell Ohio CPS let the parents have Dylan. MO CPS would not have allowed it. This horrifies me. I am an investigator and take the children's safety seriously...I just don't get it. Why??? :( :/ ;(
I think they took the 14 year old out of the home after Dylan died
Cps is a joke they take kids away from family's whom they shouldn't meanwhile children's are getting molested and they let them stay they tried taking my child away over a dumb reason...I wasn't having it I know the games they play
@@hannah3146 Yeah my mom worked for them and she said "It was a really toxic work environment"
I can't imagine being the foster mom, and legally having to give this baby to people you know aren't going to take care of him.
💔
But what about when they do? This and quite a few cases end badly but so many Forster carers are just as bad. But yes I agree it is heartbreaking when a baby is. Safe and now has been removed from that safe place
@@myreality5959 Well, the system needs to be fixed. That's another story, but, anywhere would have been better than in their hands. Too many crazies out there. If I had superpowers, they would be being able to save everyone from the crazies and put them all on a sand island with only one knife.
@@sarahd8093 Hello 👏 trust you're doing well and staying safe?
@@FarmerFpv Hello 👏 nice to meet you, how is your day going?
*prosecution starts shouting at the mom*
Judge: I'll allow it.
I only wish they were allowed this more often
I loved that prosecuter.
🤣 That is the BEST comment
A friend of mine quit being a social worker because of the stress and anxiety of having to send kids back to (what was obvious to her) a toxic environment and violent parents. Because of whatever reason of not having enough evidence or whatever. She said it would break her heart to see tbem crying and begging not to be sent back.
My sister used to work for Children's Aid many years ago and also left, feeling the system was even more effed than she'd thought. She'd been hoping to help make positive changes from within....I did the same with politics. Exact same, just different fields. To her credit, my sister lasted longer at CAS than I did in politics.
She “cried” until she realized it wasn’t working then got rude! Totally sick people, I don’t understand how someone could do this. That poor baby!
Imagine what’s happening during the plandemic.
I wish that prosecutor was present for the Casey Anthony trial. We need such prosecutors for all childrens cases.
The thought of these two idiots thinking they could outsmart the system by having her take the blame so he could get off and raise the child that they said they cared about.
I have faith that she would go to jail sonner oor later.
Exactly! Well said!
Exactly. She's a bad babe.
The prosecution really failed Caylee. I believe they went to trial completely unprepared and underestimated Jose Baez.
If she came in all strung out and the baby was born addicted, then she showed no interest, why tf would anyone knowingly release this child to these people ever. Not right.
Like many states, they failed little Dylan big time and many other lil children
Half the sentence belongs to them
Ridiculous but they took my friends child because she had Marijuana in her system because she had no idea she was pregnant until she was 6 months in. Wasn't showing, didn't have any symptoms etc. Baby was completely fine, very healthy, scored a 9 on the Apgar. And cps was called and she has been working hard af to get her child back for the past 9 months. I hate the system. Im working to get custody of him now but i have a felony so they're making it very difficult even though my house is paid for, I have 4 children that are very well taken care of. A very healthy bank account. Its just ridiculous and very frustrating.
The hospital and the town the baby was born in is basically all addicts.
God bless! Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Son of God and died on a cross for our sins! God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus Christ from the dead! Confess and repent of your sins and live for Jesus as He died for you! Trust God!! 🥰
God Bless Andrea . She gave him the Love his so called "parents" denied him.
Yes! I've always said, "every child deserves a parent, not every parent deserves a child". The system ABSOLUTELY failed this child. The foster mom SHOULD have been granted custody atleast for an extended period. They should be smart enough to know if you are married to a H addict then the spouse must likely is as well .. not always, and I'm not saying anything bad here.. addicts can change IF they truly want to, but in this case someone should have HAD to watch him pee TO BE SURE that he wasn't making someone else do it for him. The system ABSOLUTELY failed in so many ways in this case.
Also hello 👋 hope you are having a lovely day 😊 💗
I have to very strongly agree with you it's just sad she must have felt so very heart broken knowing that doomed poor little defenceless baby that could not defend his self was going to be returned to those monsters they should be punished in the same way and trauma that Dylan went through.
You know who needs support right now, the adoptive Mom. She’s probably thinking awful things like “I should have pushed it, I should have tried harder” I don’t know how to lift her up, but I want to
True, which is heartbreaking. She did the best she could with the information she had at the time there’s literally no way this was her fault or she could’ve known. Poor poor lady, she gave that baby love while he was alive 💔
I’m sure his brother is beating himself up too. I bet he’s experiencing almost every emotion possible.
Very sad.
@@amandanegrete1306 good point 🤔 Oh, that poor kid, only 15, with the weight of the world on his shoulders!
@Amanda Negretè Agree! True survivor
@noneof yourbusiness YES, he had courage to confront parents with concerns about little brother and what he saw. Clearly cared for him
If I were a prosecutor, I'd be that lady.. She was not playing games with those murdering monsters
This is how ALL prosecutors should be! ESPECIALLY in cases like this! Let them know what pos they really are!!!
YES! She cared more about the baby than the parents did
I'm glad the prosecutor yelled at her.
Bless this poor teenage son. The horrors he saw and endured himself.
@Oksana I would think so.
@Oksana there's no wondering. Even if he was the proverbial Golden Child; it's abusive that he was the only adult in the household. Christina even made note of it. Overly mature children like him, they are a red flag that warrants a double take.
Watching her up on the stand made me wanna throw hands..She clearly only cares about herself. May that poor innocent baby Rest In Peace, and I hope that Andrea knows what an amazing person she is. I just can’t imagine having to go through that
Especially when she started answering back and giving serious lip! I'd have been pressed not to fly at her throat. 👿
Same story as Gabriel. Everyone saw and called but CPS still let the child stay with the toxic parents and now he’s gone.
@Mia S. K. The teacher did more to try to help Gabriel than anyone else did. Sad fact: over a three year period Los Angeles County CPS received 60 (that's right, SIXTY) calls about Gabriel being abused.
And sweet little Gabriel was in a loving home at one time. with his uncle and his partner. Glad he was loved by them. Why he was returned to his monstrous, evil mom, I’ll never understand
@@qwhlftoGLGEKHN From what it sounds like, homophobia was the one single reason why he was returned to his mom.

It was necessary
@@sanaqamar1100% agreed
They couldn't it was closing arguments
she goes from pretend crying to passive aggressive behavior so fast. it is enraging to watch. NOT A SINGLE TEARRRRR
She’s almost smiling too 🤢
True
"I don't want to blame the system too much"
NO. F that. The system is totally at fault for Dylan's death. The foster mother had to practically BEG CPS to allow Dylan to stay with her. Of course the parents are to blame 100% for the death because you can't blame a skunk for smelling bad. Those two monsters have nothing redeemable and should be left to rot. But the SYSTEM should have been far more attentive to the situation.
Agreed, if we don't hold the system accountable these deaths will keep happening. And there's way too many of them.
Agree 100% with e/thing you said 👍
Totally agree they had the say !!!!!!
The sad part is that if a foster parent shows too much "connection" to their foster kid, they can lose the ability to care for said kid and other kids. I was a foster kid, and it sucked when I'd get a foster parent I felt attached to, and they reciprocated that attachment I'd get moved.
There needs to be better protections for kids in state care. Better protections in general for kids and adults at risk. Or for animals at risk .
My heart goes out to the little guy and the foster parent(s).
Agree
This poor baby went through so much in his 2 months of life than most adults do in their whole life. RIP baby Dylan. Everything about this case is just beyond horrible.
Ikt! I keep thinking about the Foster mother saying he wanted to be held all of the time and she held him. What a shock it must have been for Dylan going from unconstitutional love to horrible abuse.
I feel like I am very emotionally strong, and listen to crime videos and podcasts on a regular basis, but this video has me in tears. That poor baby boy was failed by the system and experienced a horrible short life. It makes me furious and emotional that so many children experience this. I will hug my own baby boy extra tight today.
foster mom loved that baby, I'm so mad that gave him back to those monsters .
I'm 5 years clean. My daughter was born addicted. I got clean i got healthy and I got right for my baby. It breaks my heart i didnt do it sooner i wish this mama had done it too. God knows if we mean well by our babies.
Thanks for getting your life together, you and your child are worth it 💗
Congratulations. I'm so happy for you and your baby. I'll have 2 years (god-willing) June 25th.
Congratulations you’re doing a good job
Congratulations on that! you're doing a good job and you have done right for getting clean and helping get your child clean 💖💖
So proud of u for speaking up I too have children and my 3rd daughter was born addicted I actually went to rehab for 11 months (where I could have her with me thank God for First Step Home here in Cincinnati ohio) but I went through alot with her in her first few months and here we r 3 years later and my baby is still with me! She is beautiful smart and perfect .. thank the lord.. so happy I changed my life for my self and my children !!
The only comfort I have is that Dylan is with Jesus! He’ll never be hurt again. ♥️🙏🏻♥️
Hi, Christina. This actually happened where I live. 2 DCBS workers have been indicted for child endangerment relating to this case AND a separate one where 5 year old Annabell Greene was also murdered in the same county, July 2020 suffering multiple injuries and bruises about her body/head. Other children placed in their home (grandparents) had also been abused. DCBS is 100% liable in these cases along with the abusers for not properly doing their job and ensuring safety for these children. In baby Dylan's case, documents had been forged and home visits weren't done when they were supposed to be. Baby Dylan died in March at only 2 months old. The community was/is absolutely OUTRAGED towards DCBS when these murders occured that could've been avoided. These cases have left a scar on the community. DCBS needs to step up around this area because precious babies dying at the hands of monsters due to neglecting their jobs is UNACCEPTABLE!
I feel for your community but DCPS is underfunded, overworked and exasperated by their inability to do the job they chose to do properly! Imagine having 40-50 families that you have to visit every month at least once! 50 families like these people that need heaps of time every few days yet they are hinged by laws eg having to give baby Dylan back to these killers even if you know in your heart it's the wrong decision....This job is SOUL DESTROYING!! BL, governments need to see DCPS in a different light, one that helps in the moment to help in the future! Give them all the funds they need, change laws e.g. blood tests instead of urine tests before babies are returned AND only 15 cases at a time for each social worker! These people do a thankless, insurmountable job!
Baloney, no excuse, stop justifying a baby is dead and a chilld.
I don't care how overworked or underpaid..no excuse..
Thank you for speaking up in your county ..keep speaking up and ignore this for excusing CPS abuse!! Rock on!
@@Jaya-zn7vr I get what you're saying, and you're not necessarily wrong, but that's the state of things across the board. The world, even. Still doesn't excuse these *_preventable_* deaths. You do the best you can with what you have, not a half-assed job and go 🤷🏽♀️ oh well.
They're supposed to serve a purpose. They're not fulfilling that purpose. This is a problem.
They are responsible for so many children's deaths so sad and many homes are just to get money and they don't give a shit about the kids
My question is, why would they want to try and get the child back if they didn’t want him in the first place? People are so f’d up in the head
Maybe if they were going to get benefits so the baby just becomes a pay check
Control

State money and food. Many people have multiple kids just to up their welfare, it's very sad.
@@oliviagrace6914 I don't think that answered her question...
it is so disturbing to think a persons brain could even think about doing that to an innocent baby but to act on it is just pure evil and to think she was a nurse and would have been around other peoples children just makes me feel so sick
People THAT disconnected they dont even see baby as a human..
Unknown Totally agree ! Unconsiable, that anyone would think about ,let alone carry out!!!!(this horrendous crime)!!!
I want to cuddle him. Sweet little boy
This makes me absolutely livid.... all they had to do is take the freaking baby to a firehouse or let the FOSTER MOM keep him!!!!
EXACTLY. There is NO excuse for any of this. There are so many ways to forfeit a child up to the firehouse, etc. Ridiculous.
I think they wanted to torture the baby. Some people get off on that.
I think they literally wanted him until it was too hard so they killed him
Baby Dylan was in foster care for 12 days but he was reunited with family. If you can call those two crazy people that.
Yup or could it have been for money?. Do Americans get like benefits from their government?. Here you get them if you don't work and get more if you have a child. Could this be a reason for them wanting to keep hold of him? As they certainly didn't give a stuff about the little man.
I watched the trial footage and the prosecutor did not hold back. My favorite part was when she shouted "how did you murder this baby!" And she kept on demanding to know what that woman did to that baby. She showed no mercy
As a woman who is struggling with infertility, the emotions I feel when it comes to this sort of thing are unbelievable! Poor baby boy! I hope he’s at peace! 😭😭
I have no kids of my own but I'm totally against suffering and inflicting pain on ANYONE, especially defenseless children!!!
I also struggle with infertility and severe endometriosis and a lack of ovulation. As someone who would love to have a baby one day, knowing that people like this can just throw away their opportunity to be parents and take away the life of a precious baby. That baby had an opportunity in life with his foster mom. But because they were his bio parents, that overruled. CPS should be ashamed. 12 days. This is evil. CPS should be held accountable for this untimely reunification.
I had an ectopic rupture where I lost a son and almost lost my life. I only have one fallopian tube and was told if I try again I have a 40% chance of it being ectopic. Now that I’m almost 40, I just threw the whole idea out the window and came to terms with it. But this case.. ugh! I just can’t! That baby was fighting for his life since conception. Sigh* she’s lucky I’m not in the prison system cause I would be inflicting violence on her every chance I get 😢😡
He is with God now and having the time of his life.
it is truly a sick cosmic joke that wonderful people cannot conceive children, yet literal monsters can get pregnant within one try. i know this comment is a year old but i hope you’ve had some luck, or at least some peace and self acceptance🤍
Ooh this woman was 39 looking every bit of 55. 😕 Side Note: This prosecutor wanted to lay hands on this woman and so do I.
Honestly same this makes me glad for sheriffs like my grandfather, he was also a jailer and his office could be accessed by the inmates if he left the door open so he'd leave the door open with the newest child molesters/rapist/killers files on his desk then tell the inmates his going to lunch "forget" he left the door open...
39? No way.
She looks absolutely horrible . I always say sterilize these demons that kill their babies
I can't believe she so old looking
They belong in the 7th level of hell
Christina- I’m sitting here in tears. This hits me extra hard. My fiancé and I were addicted before I got pregnant. I am clean now (have been for years) and our son is two. I was able to get off of everything and my son is healthy now. Thank you Jesus for changing my life! ❤️you Christina.
👍💯👍
So proud of you! Its not easy but you did it!! ❤❤❤
Thank you guys for the support ❤️
Good job girl! Never give up ❤
Yeah baby!!! Good job 👍👍👍
I watched the trial, and it was one of the hardest thing I’ve ever watched.
I was so angry with the parents. I was angry with CPS.
I went and held my then 8 month old and just wept for Dylan.
I truly can’t explain my anger towards this “monster” who gave birth to a little angel. I have zero sympathy for those people. I can only pray she gets what she deserves in prison.
But people like that are the ones that can actually get pregnant😭
She will sis and it won't stop there
My aunt retired working for cps... she’s had the most horrible stories... she felt pretty much like it’s so bad out there how can I make a difference? But she did.. she was an angel for the kids she did save. My heart goes out to all the ppl out there who do this for a living. 😢❤️
I was studying to be a therapist, but after volunteering for a summer I had to quit, it’s too heart breaking 😔... It takes a very strong person to see so much evil day in and day out and not break down, I couldn’t do it. Kudos to your aunt for making a difference in those children’s life.
Yes! My 27 year old sis does CPS and she wants a different job. It’s too sad and too hard to see.
Finally someone that says something nice. People talk sooo much about these workers. That they are all corrupt and don't care. There is some that care. There is some that put their lives at risk for these kids. Thank you for those kind words. ❤
@@AVALDEZ99 lmao, there are non that put their lives at risk, they are all lying, sniveling, dishonest and not trust worthy... trust me, I know first hand on how they operate and have plenty of proof. The biggest thing I cant figure out is how they sleep at night and live day to day knowing how evil they are, I've NEVER heard a good story, not even partially coming from a child that was in their custody, ALWAYS horror stories and when they need to make a sound decision look how it turns out, with death or children being hurt in their custody either worse than being home... they need to involve themselves and make the parents educate themselves and be positive towards the children but never remove the child from the home because it messes up the childs head, unless its dire and a child court judge told me that when I interviewed him... so maybe there's a 1 percent chance of good workers but its scarce and on interview of some ex CPS employees, they liked the paycheck and it was pretty much a leisure posistion that they took out of college because they needed the experience or to make money until they found their way to their job of choice.
@@joediblasio1846 I disagree. The paycheck really? No... sorry there is some that do work for the children. You have your opinion & I have mine. I know some that are great workers. To each their own.
I don’t understand why they didn’t just give up their baby. So many addicts give up their child, they know they are not fit to raise a child
These f***** didn't care.
I think because they get welfare and those ppl dont work, they live off that government money😐😏
@@yessi2067 also having a child or baby pulls more sympathy and charity
They probably wanted to be able to claim him for benefits from the government and once they realized they hurt him bad they felt the need to hide it no matter what so they wouldn’t go to prison
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I babysat my 8 month old nephew for 4 days and got so attached I thought I was going to have to just go live with them!!! I never dreamed I would be so attached after only 4 days. I cannot imagine how hard to let a foster child leave after days, months or years!!!
My little was 5 pounds even. She was so little and so sweet. I can’t imagine someone hurting a baby. They are the sweetest purest souls
Yes they are
My twin girls weighed 5pds 4 ozs and 4 pounds 12 ozs. My angels 😇 💜 both wore baby doll outfits for the first month 😍 💕
@@charlottewhite1277 aww ❤️ my daughters premie clothes was even too big
I have some fertility issues and have been trying for 14 years ( this is the last year we’re going to try) and they’re over here, blessed with 2 babies and do this 🥺💔🤢 disgusting and heartbreaking. Wish all the great mothers out there the best and hope all those trying, get their miracle. Props to the amazing dads out there too 💖
I too, have fertility issues (I’ve given up and I’m ok with that) and watching stories like this, makes me so infuriated and sad at the same time 😔 But good luck on your journey ✨baby dust ✨
☺️☺️
@@shdynareed3278 thanks so much 😊 I do think it takes strength to stop trying and even more to make peace with it. I’m proud of you 😊❤️
I lost a few before I got a miracle one. Best of luck to you!!!! 👍👍👍 I totally get your point. I would get so mad that uncaring people could just pop em out in droves, yet i couldn't manage to keep one...i feel ya! ❤️
Oh I hope you get your miracle baby 👶! Bless you and if it is not meant to be maybe you can foster or adopt! ❤️
My wife and I are in the same situation. We are about to start fostering as soon as we can. It’s so not fair that people like this can conceive so easily!
My niece was in foster care for about 3 months when they proved her mother was abusive while I was going through loops to get custody of her. Thankfully she had wonderful foster parents at the time. When I got custody, I allowed them to keep in contact though it was mostly via mail due to living a whole state away & every Christmas they would send her a gift in the mail. If a foster parent can do this, why can't a real parent?!?
Hoops yes
Because the "real parent(s)" in these cases isn't/aren't really a human being(s) and is/are completely incapable of being a parent. The wonderful Foster parents out there get a bad rap from the awful Foster Parents who do it for the money and treat their charges like animals or worse. The awful cases make the news, the wonderful ones don't ... they are the ones who should. But good news doesn't sell like bad news. 😞
Sis, those parents don't want the babies in the first place ,they are useless from the begining
This was so heartbreaking! All I can think about is baby Dylan… being taken away from a MOTHER that was taking care of him, consoling and nurturing him, being patient with him. I can’t even finish this post. Smh.
Kudos to the prosecutor. I know some people say it might be unprofessional to yell in court but i dont blame her. This woman was clearly lying over and over. Id yell at her too.
Enjoyed the prosecution drill her. She was not remorseful at all. Kind of a trip her attorney never once objected.
Heck they probably liked it
-they had no objections; probably loved to hear someone say exactly what they were thinking too
Defense attys are usually state appointed. Most dont even want to be there
That’s the most heartbreaking thing about this case. Dylan could have had an incredible life with this foster mother. If not with her, with someone who actually wanted to love him how he deserved.
As a person who’s been through withdrawal as an adult due to my own choices…I just cannot fathom an infant enduring that. It makes me sick.
I feel for the son can’t imagine what he witnessed and went through himself.
Does anyone else just love the fact that the judge just let the prosecutor yell at her? I haven't really seen that in courth before either.
Even the defense lawyers let her have at it.
“he wanted to be held at all times” oof. that hurts
My baby wanted to be held all the time, both of them in fact. And I held them ALL the time they're my babies you only get that time once 😢
@@kirstymufleh1673 i’ve never had kids but if a little baby needed to be held or if i ever have a baby of my own i’d be doing everything i can to give it comfort. i’ve always thought that volunteering to cuddle babies born addicted would be very rewarding since i heard about it. holding a baby is pretty amazing
@@kirstymufleh1673 my 5.5yo still comes to my room 50x a night but I will miss it when it stops. She was my baby that wanted to be held all the time.
@@quirkypurple3 I never got to be a mum but I love it when I get the chance to hold a baby. It is so wonderful all babies are so special.
I used to work for CPS as a social worker and I had a similar case like that, single mom addicted to pain killers. The difference was she never got her baby back and he ended up being adopted by his foster mom. This is what Dylan should’ve had. System failed him.
This case was so horrible, so heartbreaking and unbelievable. I am so excited to hear your take on it. I love your channel!!
Hi Paul💖
Hi Paul! I love your channel too! ❤️
I love both of you, Christina and your channel.
When my 14 yr old was born prematurely bc of my blood pressure, I couldn't see him for 24 hrs bc of my health... I drove the nurses nuts asking how he was. They kept taking pics for me so I could relax and let the magnesium lower my blood pressure. Longest 24 hrs ever.
How can anyone hurt a baby? I'm crying now bc it hurts my heart someone can be so awful.
Thank God for the foster mom who showed that baby love.
I had the same experience with my first son. 24 hrs because of the mag sulf. It was awful. 😪
Everyone think of their 15 year old. I wish him well to Persevere and have somewhat of a normal childhood
Absolutely🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I felt bad for him as well
30 minutes in, Christina, girl you're right on spot. I deeply admire the sheer strength and courage it must have taken for you to cover this story and to be the voice for sweet baby Dylan. God bless you for that!! 🙏
"Outside I guess."
"You guess? I'm asking you for real."
That question made her show her true colors. She got pissed and an attitude.
They should’ve listened to the foster mother , he’d still be alive if they looked into it
💯
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. An bruh
It’s so sad but these workers are over worked and have a case load bug enough for 5 people... not enough ppl want to do this type of work it takes a special kind of person and they usually burn out or stop caring
I agree!!!!! CPS should be accountable also!!!!
They should have never gave that baby back to them
This entire case is so sad. I dont understand how anyone can hurt such an innocent baby. I will never understand it
It’s the devil
Demonic forces from hell! 😞😞😞
ABORTIANS all over the world. PLEASE look to this baby's. I do'nt understand.
I just discovered this channel I also just saw this Groves case I know its old. I’m a therapist as well as spent 20 yrs as a social worker CPS failed simply failed ..I watched the trial that mother is delusional and I could not feel sorry for her. Love your channel glad I found you ❤
Heart goes out to Dylan’s older brother, too. Seems like good kid. Can’t imagine how he must feel
Watching that prosecutor freak out on her was like having an itch you desperately needed to scratch it felt so damn good talk about satisfying!!!!!
@Raven Balcom
Haha I’m so glad I could help 🤣
It’s just now when I watch more trials and ect I can’t help but feel like I want it in all of them lol
@Raven Balcom
Definitely not enough there is some cases that make crazy and wanna scream lol
Totally! An the mother still goes like "I´m done talking to you", like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!? She fakes crying saying that she lost her children when she was beating a 4 month baby, if she had any kind of remorse she would´ve called the police instead of throwing him on a well. I can´t!!
@@hadasm5033
If only prosecutors were allowed to slap the occasional individual LOL that would’ve been absolutely incredible in this case 😂😂😂
This makes me so angry. They could have surrendered the baby for adoption with little to no effort and kept on living their shit lives. It’s like they put in the effort to get him back just to torture him. So horrific. I hope the “father” never gets parole. I feel bad for the older son, none of it’s his fault, but he’ll still probably live with survivor’s guilt and regret. Poor guy, I’m sure he was physically and emotionally abused and forced to help his dad with the clean UA’s.
welfare help thats why.
That teacher is a literal angel on earth. ❤
I love this attorney for showing this much emotion in the court room. May that baby fly high in the arms of Jesus 💔
CPS is a joke, my son was starting to act abused after leaving his father and gfs house, they did NOTHING. because he needed a FRESH bruise. The pic I had was too old. 😡 My baby is in therapy now for anger issues 😥
The fuck you mean A BRUISE ON A CHILD is "too old" ?? 😠
Thats messed up, I am so sorry this has happened to your son. Here's some love for the both of you, It may not be much for a random Internet person but hopefully you'll get through this 💖💖

@@oliviagrace6914 I don't believe in God but go off
I'm 8 weeks pregnant today and utterly horrified and heartbroken for baby Dylan. I waited so long for this baby, I can't even comprehend causing harm to any child, let alone such a defenseless infant 😥💔
How is the baby doing, 5 months later? Hope everything is going great !
Hope you and your baby are healthy ! ❤
@peggy peggy baby boy is almost 9 month old and thriving! 🩵
Christina you are the best story teller and present w such Grace, beauty, and original humor.
I watched all of that AND she WAS Dylan’s voice! Momma bear came out of her full force for this Angel. She was his voice, and MADE HIS VOICE BE HEARD! I love her!
I still pray for Dylan’s foster mom, Andrea. She was Dylan’s angel and I have no doubt he felt so much love while she was taking care of him. I know he will be waiting for her with the man upstairs.
I also watched their trial. I feel so bad for their teenage son who did surprisingly well, especially considering the circumstances.
Poor kid has probably raised himself, considering both parents were addicts.
Me too! That was one of the hardest parts for me to watch.
I hope to God Daniel JR hasn’t developed PTSD.
Sadly I’m sure he will experience some level.
He’s not even graduated HS and he’s going to have deal with intense grief, fear, anger, shame and much more.
I truly hope he has the support system and MH care he needs.
He's alot brighter than his parents! I feel sorry for him
I got great satisfaction watching the prosecutor just hammer that mom! She yelled at her and the judge didn’t say a thing. Heck, I even showed both my kids the prosecutor examinations of that woman. They were both impressed as well!!
How on earth they let them have this child is beyond me. That is a crime in itself
What a gorgeous baby!! He was perfect this made me cry!!
me too.😭
Same!
He was truly gourgeous.
I felt for Andrea so badly. She wanted to raise baby Dylan, all the parents hadda do was say we don't want him. What both the children went thru is inhuman, but my heart goes out to andrea. Plz share the love and prayers still expressed to this day by me and many people. Dylan and his foster mom deserved better....
“I have to live with this for the rest of my life.” Uhhh you should!???
Well, hopefully someone will put her out of her misery in prison! She and her husband should have been left at the bottom of that well...
@@peepsevol I get where you come from but I personally believe that she shouldn't die yet, I want her to FEEL the guilt, cuz guilt is a very lethal thing for a person..... If her death is so easy she has faced NOTHING of what she put baby dylan through...
And I hope it haunts her every second of every day
At least she gets to live, unlike Angel Dylan.
Right?!?
Like, did she expect everyone to sympathize and say, "Awww, well, you did murder your helpless infant...but you've totally suffered enough! Who are we to judge?"
I definitely don’t let my kids watch watch the crime related vids I love so much for the obvious reasons but as soon as I cue up your vids both my kiddos can and do your into after which they giggle and say moms watching her videos! They think they’re so cool...gotta admit tho it’s rly cute and makes me smile!
Awww...that is cute!!!💖💖💖
Aweeeee cute!
From what I've seen & heard: Child services either puts a good (good enough) family thru hell, OR let things like this happen. And I DO blame them as much as the abusers/killers bc obviously Child services are the only sane ones in the room... expectedly anyway.
Yes, they need to be on trial too!!
They're currently putting my kids, husband, and I through hell. We love our kids. We care for our kids day in and out. They're fed, clothed, have every toy they could want, yet the school called in a report of neglect because my son was considered underweight because of the meds he was on. Here we are a year later trying to get our case closed but they're dragging it out. Despite talking to my kids and them telling the social worker that I cook dinner every night and they eat a bunch at the sitters. They grilled my children. Asked them how they get punished. Asked them if they feel like mom and dad love them. They asked my kids if anyone touches their privates. Like that was never even part of the case. I asked them why they'd even ask that. Their response was "you were molested as a child. Most victims go on to molest their kids." I'm over it.
I agree 100 I was in the system then adopted I've seen both sides of it all!!
Ikr.. they should serve jail time as well..
I was soooooo enraged too when I saw her testimony, I never felt so enraged in my life watching a testimony.
Omg. When she said “I sure didn’t get it from under the sink” I wanted punch my TV screen.
That was sick
@@susanjohnson8396 like how dare you get sassy?
😡😡😡
@@finaldeljuego1996 my exact face
Right... and totally off topic... but GIRL, You are GORGEOUS!!!
I want to see how the other inmates are treating that woman.
I’ve been in jail many times with women who have committed horrific crimes against children and oddly they always seem to find their group of friends and do just fine!!
@@charissa5150 that makes me sick....smh 🙄
She will be put in protection. She wouldn’t last a minute with the other inmates.
Watched the entire actual trial and was sickened to learn this woman was a nurse. Makes me ill!
Same. So many selfish, bad choices made. None in the interest of that baby.
Me too!
I know, I cried. I wish I could have taken him 😢
O.M.G she was a nurse. Unbelievable
But that's wat makes it so disturbing, right, she could have been looking after the young elderly you or me, has to be "the substances"????
That woman yelling at her in court is giving me LIFE RIGHT NOW OMG thank God for that woman. I am literally crying for this poor baby boy. Can't even believe this.
If I were to ever be in prison, and someone like her came in and I know what she did... let me tell ya, I’d be willing to get more time to take care of that situation. I really hope she’s getting what she deserves in prison! And CPS is a very failed system!
Same!!!
Definitely!!!😠
OH SAME FAM SAME
