Minnesota’s Melissa Norby case: Babysitter's plot to abduct girl goes wrong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2020
- Texts between Jacob Kinn and Melissa Norby detailed an elaborate plan to kidnap the 5-year-old daughter of Melissa's best friend. Once the girl was in their clutches, they'd hide her so Kinn could keep her for himself. Then Kinn made sure there were no witnesses. MORE: bit.ly/31uwTuj
There should be stricter penalties for child sex crimes. I don’t care if it’s a first offense. I don’t get it. 🤷♂️
First Offense just means, the first time they got caught. Most certainly not the first time they’ve committed a sexual offense.
Exactly! Unfortunately there's no cure for pedophilia and if someone commits a crime against a chold it means they'll do it again if they ha ve the opportunity. They shouldn't be allowed near potential victims
@@mynineandi know from experience?
Seriously! A first offense is one too many! Don’t see everyday folks preying on children. If you have the ability to view those acts / act on those feelings you should be locked in a cage for the rest of your life no changing my mind

Thank you . The elite white men .
I give so much respect and props to the detectives, literally 24 hours after the arson, they found that little girl. Absolutely amazing
Wish more cops worked like them!
Absolutely✨🙏
Minnesota is the shit that’s why
If it had been any longer she might not have made it! They did so good
I hope the girls mum gets off the meth though.
I just love how they keep calling her “the babysitter” instead of “✨the backstabbing attempted kidnapper✨”
A better word for her is scumbag She something you scrap off your shoes!!
You forgot ‘evil and perverted’
I second that @@lizmonard
My thoughts too! She would have been charged if she was alive. What the heck !!!🤦
She calls her sister on DatelineId channel. Joe Kenda’s show. I think it’s called American detective
This just proves that you never truly know someone. 30 years of friendship but that child's mother had no idea who her best friend really was!
It's shocking how she could betray her and the mom like that...just to keep a pedo around...stunning...💔😥
You can not trust anyone fully! People can trick you or they can change and hide it.
Very true. I had a friend for almost 20 years, found out she drugged my youngest, who has Autism, when she volunteered to babysit him. Her excuse was he was too energetic (he was 3), but it didn't float in court obviously. She also thought because he had Autism he couldn't articulate to us that she drugged him, or that we were too stupid I guess to figure it out. We never saw her as someone like that. She wasn't sorry either. I never trusted anyone with my kids again after that.
She had an inkling of what her so-called friend was capable of.
I don’t care what anybody says, after knowing someone for 30 years you know someone… You have a damn good idea of what they’re capable of and what their personality quirks are.
That little girl’s mother and you very well with this friend was capable of
@@spiralrosevictim blaming isn’t a good look on you.
Imagine every child-sex offender got the death penatly instantly.
How many other children's lives would have been spared?
If the punishment was death no one would dare touch a child
@@Mediumrarerach Well people still would - as we see people commiting other crimes that gets them the death penalty.
But i think it would reduce the amount and get people to think twice. I am not sure though - as that requires cognition and many perpetrators have less of it and are driven by urges/desires and impulses they can not control.
The feed a fantasy over years and at some point act it out.
Still - people rape a child then get out of prison 3 years later to do it again. And imagine how many times they weren't caught.
I understand the sentiment really I do but the death penalty just sets in motion a court process for years even decades putting the victim through more and more trauma.
Nope put them on GiMo for natural life and learn from them. We need to benefit from these monsters to try to obtain as much info as we can to prevent future victims and try to extract something positive for survivors. Abusers are incredibly dangerous because they are master manipulators. There is a prison somewhere in the US that is full of sex offenders. The information they gather is invaluable.
Sadly it’s not only men who have this sickness.
The Death Penalty is horrific. I don’t believe that anyone has the right to take a life.
I am also a survivor and have worked a nearly 20 years with victims trying to empower them to be survivors. I’ve even done some limited work with actual offenders who agreed to chemical castrations.
The death penalty demeans the whole of society. Once convicted though, an offender should never be released
@@Mediumrarerach They would
Can't trust ANYONE.This woman put a man before a little girl that trusted and loved her. Don't feel sorry for her at all.
@Jesus Is Lord No. B was correcting the other person's grammar.
I find it so disgusting. The woman should rot and the little girl should be kept safe. I hope shes okay.
I never thought I would say this, but she got what she deserved. Satan has a special place for people like her.
I hope Melissa suffered and felt every bit of those flames. I wasnt shocked at all. The minute I saw that she sent her 10yr to spend the night at someone elses home while bringin her best friends daughter over. Alarms went off in my head.
She is absolutely vile! At first I felt bad, then as soon as they revealed that info I had no emotion or pity for her at all. If only the same had happened to him!
I cried when I heard her sweet angelic voice. Poor baby. I hope prisoners take care of him in the way he deserves!
I hope you stop encouraging prison violence
@@peacenow42 They must be castrated instead of being sent to jail
@@peacenow42if this was your child. Would you be saying the same thing?
I think so. My daughter's friend was Taylor Behl. and I still grieve for her parent's loss.
At stake, with prisoners, is human rights...if we take them away from prisoners it may be easier for our own rights to be taken away. Not to mention you endanger guards and innocent prisoners when you encourage prison violence. Apparently according to men's rights advocates, contrary to all statistics the males have more rape inflicted on them than females (they are figuring many counts of unreported rape in prison) and therefore accuse (especially feminists of which I am one) of not taking rape in men seriously.
@@tennisonmanyonga4540
@@peacenow42I hope you stop condoning child abuse.
I'm pretty sure he killed Melissa because he didn't really want anything to do with her he just wanted Brittney.. he probably knew that after he got Brittney he would have to still be tied to Melissa and more than ever cause if he made her mad she could tell on him. So instead he kills her and just takes the child so he doesn't have to deal with Melissa at all anymore. Just sick. Can't believe Melissa was a mother herself and still did this to another child. For a man. Disgusting. The irony is she died in a fire and will wake up in a forever fire. Where she belongs and so does Jake. I hope he's getting tore inside out in prison every single day.. multiple times a day. He's the baby now and someone else is his big papa.
I think the same. He wanted no witness left behind and especially not one that he could get no gratification from.
I think so too!
No shit Sherlock.
She would have had a hold over him. He is vile and so was she. Can't decide who was worse.
Paedophiles are generally only interested in children; I wish people believed that. Some are sexual opportunists, some are just paedophiles.
That letter she wrote to him. I'm bawling right now.
She is a testament to how AMAZING her parents must be!! Her fortitude and resilience is beyond next level.
Get her a college scholarship lined up for later; she is so capable and intelligent, she could do anything in life! The sky is the limit for this incredible girl.
These cops acted as if it was their own daughter...bless them. We need more cops like this.
❤🙏🙏🙏
Yes so beautiful but yet so sad!! Glad they found her alive!!! Great job 👏🏽
It’s Minnesota nice
This is a rarity.
Not trying to be rude or anything but there are lots of cops like this. So many people and left wing media try to paint them all as villains. Anyway, so glad the little was found alive. God bless our men and women in blue.
Props to the mother for letting this be her daughter’s story and not about how her friend betrayed her trust.
EXACTLYYY.
And, honestly, for continuing to protect her baby's identity from the world.
Can’t say I’m sad that “friend” is gone.
Imagine being so desperate for a man that you intentionally let him have his way with someone’s toddler so he’ll stay. May she burn in hell.
Yes. This mother is an inspiration.
The man who abused me at age 3 was only served 5 years because, when questioned, he confessed. What a twisted world we live in.
That's so infuriating! I'm so sorry that happened to you.
I'll get my revenge on my cousin who did the same to me
My neighbor molested both me and my sister for years. He was in jail for a week after the initial arrest, bonded out and apparently all charges were dismissed.
I’m so sorry to hear this.
The court system is a joke in the usa. Criminal court, family court, they are all out of control. The sentences never match the crime.
Completely horrifying. Trusting someone with your child and then finding out your so-called “friend” was planning to turn your young daughter over to a monster!
Especially child-hood bestfriend. I could not imagine the trust issues that Amanda built up after this because her best friend played the main role in her daughter's abduction.
Anyone who hurts a child especially in a sexual way should NEVER BE LET OUT OF PRISON!!
Prison has its own justice system for child molesters.
1960's Vegas took care of their city....prison takes care of it's city as well.
Must be dead!
They should get life but they never do. Most of them get small sentences and then they are out doing it again. They should be castrated immediately! Majority of these sick bastards reoffend within a short time
Right!!!? 😡 If they'd keep them or kill them then other children wouldn't go through this or worse, her family planning her funeral 😔 The justice system needs overhauling and some judges need to retire!
Maybe I’m harsh, but what’s the point of trash people like that living? He did it MULTIPLE times.
Lesson to be learned: TRUST NO ONE with your kids! Period
Period!!
Absolutely!
Usually so-called "best friends" are the ones who secretly wouldn't mind hurting you or your loved ones.
@@Whol3NothaL3v3l
That’s so crazy to me
Trash lives among us 🤦🏿♀️
I mean not necessarily. My best friend has 3 children that I watch regularly and I would die to protect them & I would give them my last breathe. I don’t have children due to severe infertility (prob never will) & love them like my own. So glad she shared them with me, I have her 2 yr old now ♥️. I understand what you’re saying though
I can appreciate why I was never allowed to have sleepovers and I have continued that with my own family. TRUST NO ONE!!!! It is despicable what the best friend did and the vile and monstrous acts of the monster. Thank God she was found alive. I hope she is thriving and taking each day as it comes. I hope mom continues to protect her daughter from evil.
Same. Only allowed to go to 2 homes. My son only goes to 1. All sleepovers are at my house under my eyes.
I can respect that sentiment for sure Im the same way with my children. I mean it's bad enough terrible things happen to children in their own homes so often too, I just wish this depravity didn't exist to save so many children and future members of society a lot of trauma and emotional turmoil.
Reminder, your kids can still experience sleepovers. It can just be something like a camping trip in the backyard or at a local camping area, where kids only sleep in a tent with their own parents.
You were absolutely right. My mom didn't like me or my twin brother going to sleepovers ..for a plethora of reasons. My best friend used to stay over at our house all the time, so finally...when I was 14, she allowed me to spend the night with her...
My bff lived with her single dad and younger brother...one weekend, I came over on a Friday night, her dad was still at his shop where he repaired boat motors, and got home very late. I wasn't feeling well and I went to her bedroom to lie down,..she was bored so she walked to a nearby convenient store with another friend. Meanwhile, her dad gets home, and he did not know that I had come over.
I figured my girlfriend with be walking in any second, so I just stayed put in her bedroom.
Idk ..maybe a half hour had passed ..and I was wondering where the heck my girlfriend was ..when the bedroom door opened. It was dark ..and her Dad walked over, and pulled the comforter down - I was lying on my stomach..than, time just kind of stopped. I felt a tug at the hem of the back of my shirt, he pushed it up and next thing I sensed was him kissing me on my back. I was absolutely paralyzed ..I couldn't even get a sound to come out of my mouth I was so scared. Just than, I heard the front door slam ..signaling my girlfriend was finally back.
I yelled to her .... Sissy!!! SISSY!!!!..and she tumbled in the room trying to assess what was going on. She said "Daddy, that's Lisa ...leave her alone ..now!"...and he just stopped and muttered something and left. Here's the thing: he didn't know I was there. I was in her bed. It was obvious to me that he thought I was her lying there.
It was that night I realized, she was being sexually abused by her father. So many things made sense. And believe it or not, we never spoke about it. I was too young to understand. And she didn't talk about it. So I left it alone. We were friends for decades until she died - only 45- from an undiagnosed heart condition. And she never talked about any of that.
*Update. I wrote the above comment around February 2023. On March 25, my son and only child, was killed in a motorcycle accident ..one day before his 30th birthday. The pain and grief are unbearable...he was a wonderful and loving son, a veteran who spent 7 years in the Army and was involved in several combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. I remember constantly praying to God to bring him home from those missions safely. So when he was finally discharged..I breathed a sigh of relief and was excited for him to reset and have a bright and happy future. He had recently got his CDL license and was excited to start a career as a long distance trucker. Life can change forever in an instant, it has for me.
@@ms.lisamurphy269 that's heavy.. i van imagine that you were too scared also to tell your parents, even though it would saved her from further abuse if your parents knew and could inform the police.. i stayed over a lot at friends and experienced nothing weird. But I am afraid kids have seen things at my place bc my mother always abused me not sexual but she yelled and screamed at me and made fun of me in front of my friends and hit me with everything she could find. I was 6 or 7 when kids began avoiding me yelling to my that my mother is crazy. I still have ptsd and run away from home when i was 16. I have a female friend who let her 4 kids stay over at my place for years, i am 37 now, and i cant have kids, i think, im in a ivf treatment. I always treated them with respect and always took them out everywhere like cinema or a amusement park, play garden. I was thankful for her trust and the joy of having kids from now and then. When i was young 2 female friends (sisters) of my mom took me often to stay over at their place, 1 had a daughter my age, or took me on vacation with their family bc they knew about my home situation and wanted me to have nice experience in life. That's the same i did for the kids of my friend because they also had not a nice home situation as in lot of debts, so no money, not good enough food and clothes, living in a deprived area . Living with 6 in an old apartment. So i took them out to experience nice things, let them sleep over, give their mother some rest. That's just what i do, bc adults helped me when i was young, and i have the same, i want kids to be kids and happy. They are older now and doing good in life. My sister has a 4 year old and I can't stop spoiling my nephew 🙏🏽💕 Sometimes i also doubt if i should try get kids with ivf bc of the world is a dark place. I would go crazy if something would happen. I already go crazy when my cat is gone for a few hours. And I always hope my sweet partner who i am with 11,5 years arrives home from work safe and sound to me. What my mom did to me scarred me, and i wish i could protect all children in the world 🙏🏽😭😪
I always get emotional watching this case when I think about how many similar cases didn’t have a happy ending.
Also very scary to think about how many child predators may get involved with someone purely for their proximity to children. Disgusting.
To see these grown men crying over finding this little girl safely is so wholesome. Good job officers 💕
They’d probably prepared themselves for the worst already

@@gradenthebarbarian2258 you gotta wait to read the comments man
I am sorry but I am not having the "she wanted to be loved" explanation. She must have been a bit sadistic herself.
She was sadistic in a way but don't know which way. She reportedly was into SM/BD and was probably the one who enjoyed the pain. I wonder how much her childhood friend knew about her twisted sex history. She was probably easy to manipulate if she was willing to allow a sexual assault on a child she cared for while the mother was working.
She was definitely mental
sadistic ? i don't know but definitely without empathy.
Are you sorry?
Megan?
Is that what you said?
Hmmnn?
Okay
Theirs no real solid evidence " melissa" wanted go give the baby to jacob.
None at all.
It maybe appeared that way.
But theirs no real evidence that accusation flies with truth.
If you think their is evidence to support that accusation ? Show me. Step by step -Explain.
In summary" their just simply isnt enough evidence to assume that was Melissa's intention.
Whatsoever.
That's of a certainty.
As far as the facts go.
The police here are just making false assumptions about melissa.
In that regard.
They had no evidence at all that melissa was consenting to giving brittany to jacob for you know what.
I cant even write that.
It's just too ridiculous to even write
But regardless no evidence exists which would confirm that was Melissa's intention.
And that's the real reason why shes dead.
That's why the kidnapping didnt happen while melissa was alive.
She obviously tried to stop the kidnapping.
Jacob never really let on to why he was dating melissa.
He dated her to get access to the little girl.
Melissa never consented to that.
Though.
The police are clearly lying in saying that melissa consented to that idiocy.
She tried to stop Jacob from taking the girl.
That's obvious.
And she never really knew Jacob's intention was to take the girl.
So the cops here "" it most certainly appears to me """ are falsely accusing melissa of this crime.
Clearly they are.
Show me any real solid evidence which says melissa is guilty of what the cops are saying about her here.
I dont think anyone can.
The question I want to know is " why?
Where is the solid evidence that melissa irrefutably knew that's what jacob was truly seeking?
There is no solid evidence melissa knew that's what Jacob was after.
Theres no real evidence at all .
That's all just speculation and ridiculous assumptions as well as estimates on the part of the police.
Quite a statement too.
Regarding melissa.
As
Melissa had no criminal record .
Listen . You people can say what you want.
But the reality is " theres no solid proof that's what melissa wanted or even consented to.
By all facts
It most certainly appears to me melissa didnt know that Jacob's intention was to kidnap the baby..
And it also appears when she realized that was his intent she tried to stop him.
So he killed her.
That's the real scenario there.
So she died trying to save the baby.
That's a distinct possibility
And that possibility makes much more sense then the other option people are saying here about melissa.
Perjury is evil. So?
Do not falsely accuse a dead person of a crazy crime when it most certainly appears that dead person gave her life in an attempt to stop such a crime.
Ya know?
I mean... wow.
Be sure of such a crazy accusation.
Before you so blatantly risk defying exodus 20: 16.
In other words perceive this logical statement.
Which is simply the following.
Quit condemning a murdered woman who technically didnt do anything wrong.
That's most likely the case.
What the hell is the matter with everybody here?
Think. Before ya talk.
As I do.
Seriously.
Here.

A blessed ending would’ve been the girl NOT being raped.
Absolutely this was great police work.
It is rare. Usually, they are found after decades with children of their own in the secret basement or house of the kidnapper. The criminal in this case is not as articulate as the other kidnappers.

I can’t imagine she didn’t also abuse or offer her child for abuse as well, so I hope that little boy also got intensive therapy and people made sure he’s okay.
I wondered that too!! I wonder if she pimped out these kids to these type of guys
These officers really put their heads together and were able to save this precious little girl. Great job guys.!!!
Friend of 30 years does this? Geez, Melissa got what she deserved. Good police work. 👍
Yes, I'm kind of glad they didn't bother trying to charge for her murder, she had no right to remembered as a victim.

Kinda feel like she deserved it tbh
I kinda felt she got what she deserved trying to set that up. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

The best you could do is what the rest of the world does to them, ignore them. They are irrelevant in every aspect of their vacant lives and come to the internet for something.
The way that officer cried just talking about the moment he got that picture seeing the little girl was alive shows that there are still amazing people out there in law enforcement
That definitely broke me, right after seeing that sweet little girl be so strong after they found her which broke me too.
It's not often enough that officers get a good day on the job. That, was an incredibly GREAT day on the job! That is why those men went in to law enforcement. Way to go Minnesota Bureau of Investigation!
Amen...💯💯
This one made me cry, too. It's a miracle she survived.
Very few
The first red flag was her keeping someone else’s child while hers stayed with someone else. As a mother, how could you use a child that way. That’s disgusting.
Did you happen to catch why she was spending the night? Did Melissa ask for her to come?
I missed it if they did, but I used to keep my nieces or friends daughters a lot when my son wasn’t home. Usually it was because the kid or parents wanted me to keep them, but I’d also just ask if they could come for “girls night” sometimes when I missed them. We’d do makeovers, facemasks, and movies.
They’re all adults now, but my nieces and best friends daughter all still come over for girls night every now and then.
I’d DEFINITELY prefer people distrust too much rather than trust too much, but I’m sad that people will miss out on memories like the ones we have. Sad that nothing can be taken for granted.
(I only ask that question because I thought maybe Melissa was lying in wait for a chance to set their plan in motion instead of asking for her, before anyone gets the wrong idea)
That made no sense to me either
There is no red flag. He was staying with friends and family. The 2 moms were childhood friends. He's a 10 year old boy and she's a 4 or 5 year old girl. They would not be close friends. If the girl had been molested by the boy you'd be saying something along the lines of how the little girl should've never been allowed to stay over where a boy 5 years older is. There is no red flag when your best friend for over 20 years offers to take your child for the night while theirs is at a sleepover.
@@drnogueiras8783 No, it was perfectly reasonable that she would take the little girl while her boy was away at a friend's. The boy is 10 and the girl is 4 or 5. What 10 year old wants to hang out with a 5 year old? That would be the red flag. The little girl was at Melissa's all the time. Melissa and the girl's mom were childhood friends, before high school.
Every time I hear this story it hurts me on a level I cannot describe. I just can't put it into words. As a little girl I was sexually abused and the trauma and pain that has been my entire life is just unbelievable. No words match. To think a "FRIEND" put this precious child into this man's arms and enabled this baby to be in that position.... Far worse. Parents KEEP YOUR BABIES WITH YOU. ALWAYS. TRUST NO ONE. They're only little for a short time. I know it's tiring I know you get worn out and need breaks but it'll come.... This time goes by like a blink of an eye. Please, please keep your babies with you.
Best thing/advice I’ve read EVER. So damn true. THIS is why my husband and I are “abnormal “ in our community. We don’t do sleepovers for our kids at all. We have 5, 4 sons and a daughter. They can attend events and have get together a, we will pick them up at bed time because they sleep at home! Even get togethers give me anxiety so I ALWAYS attend if it’s possible. Since they’ve become teens we are a bit more lenient, but still, our children, sleep at home, under our roof, in their beds, safely.
Sometimes it's parents, siblings, grandparents etc.....there are no safe places.
It's almost always someone close.
I wonder if this Melissa ever let these man have access to her son.....these sickos like boys too
I was hoping to hear that he didn’t have time to sexually assault her. My heart broke hearing that he did, in fact, do this. And to see grown men tearful and emotional over this child just hits me right in the heart. I can’t even comprehend what kind of vile monster you would have to be to do this to a sweet innocent child. Screw him sitting in jail for the rest of his life. We need public televised executions of these sick individuals as soon as proof is obtained. A message needs to be sent to anyone who thinks they are going to go out and hurt, rape, assault, or kill one of our children! They don’t deserve to breathe another breath of air!
So many babies don't come home...
Thank you for one who does and those who brought her back.
Yes exactly. And the fact that this young girl was able to stay brave and strong blows my mind. She remembered so many details and seeing how emotional they all got when talking about the story was heartbreaking because they knew it could have been so much worse if they didn’t find her.
Some good ass detectives
Such a horrific story, thankful to have a happy ending for once. Bless these detectives for saving that kiddo and being there for that mama.
🙏
Watching with my 21 y/o daughter... We can't agree more. Tears all the way around
Oh my God...that little girl saying "my name is Brittney!!" when the cops found her. She was so loving and friendly even in that terrible situation. I cannot imagine.
That's when I cried..couldn't help it. My heart broke for her
So incredibly sad😭
She's a strong little girl. Very happy she was found alive🙂
I cried watching the video what a brave little girl I'm so glad she's ok I can't believe she was so brave after what happened to her it's horrible
I've watched this several times (it was posted months ago). But every time, like you all, I choke up when the cops find Brittany.
I pray she gets the right support and unconditional love from her family. After that, counseling is secondary.
I cries when the little girl was found, alive. This is rare. Thank goodness to all of those that acted quickly! Times was truly of the essence. I am wishing her ans her mother the best!
So thankful that the cops rescued the young girl and reunited her with her family. As for Melissa's conspiracy in the abduction of her friend's child, it's unconscionable betrayal.
Drug dealers are lock up forever but child predators get probation BS. I'm glad both children were ok especially the precious little girl. Melissa is a poor excuse as a human,mother,and friend.
Thankfully this one wasn't given one of those sentences and was sentenced to 52 years. Hopefully he has to do all of the time. But, I also agree with your first statement and believe we should swap sentences we give drug crimes with those of child crimes.
No doubt Nicole, so sick of the bullshit.
@Lux Aeterna I don't support drug dealers but most clients are adults who are able to know right from wrong but are addicted. My point is that some non violent drug dealers do this for monetary reasons and maybe rehabilitated in society. Our society has released child molesters rapists and murderers my point is the damage is irreversible like this child's innocence and her mother's trust in others around her family. So if I had to pick I rather live near a dealer because I don't do drugs than a murderer and rapist who do things for the hell of it.
@Lux Aeterna Your essay is impressive but mine is better 188 likes all I'm saying this is murder child predator case and get out of jail to commit more offenses to our children and I don't support the drug culture but some dealers and addicts can turn their lives as productive members of society but child predators can't
@M B Let's focus on the story I'm happy for the innocent children to be saved. I don't support drug dealers but if you were to go to prison would you rather be a drug dealer or child predator. You know the answer plus like I've said some drug abusers or dealers can be rehabilitated a child molesters can't. I'm sorry if you or anyone you know have been affected by drug abuse but I still stand by my position.
Of course he murdered Melissa he never wanted her he wanted that child
She got what she deserved
Agreed. I wonder if she had a intellectual disability and low self esteem. Regardless she was a monster taken by another monster.
@@Chitownhomestead smh , Most definately . F**k melissa She's a disgusting excuse for a human being , & As for the Despicable SOB who hurt that precious little girl There are no words to express the unimaginable ways in which he should suffer., Little Brittany is Truly an amazing little girl , And i sincerely hope that when she grows up to be an adult herself she can look at this traumatic event as something that wasnt able to break her , And just rejoice in how strong she is . precious little Angel. 💜
Much respect to those detectives that did not give up on that poor little girl, thank god she was found alive. 🙏🏽
30 years of friendship and she doesn’t know her friend had a child molester as a friend !! We all got emotional except for the mum
Her little voice got to me, I'm glad she's okay.
I know and her little feet tied with that tape omg :( I just shook. Brought back some horrific memories of my own. Absolutely tragic. She will never forget that I just hope people will allow her to not relive it and at some point not ever bring it up to her again. It's so crucial for SURVIVORS to be allowed to move past this when they're ready. I hate when people ask me about that crap. I dealt with it, went through therapy for it, suffered panic attacks for YEARS AND YEARS of my life .. and I'm finally at a place I can live my life without constantly remembering and reliving such things. I'm thankful to God it's not on my mind all the time anymore and I'm able to live my days in peace. Seeing things like this triggers my anxiety so bad and I just hurt for that poor child.
I DESPISE our "justice" system... My abuser never spent a night in jail and he abused two other girls alongside me and has always been free able to continue his abuse. Thankfully he lives far far away from me, but I wish to God he was dead or in prison!!!
@@dazzlingextremes389 I'm so glad you're doing well! Best of luck 👍. Edit: and it's never too late. The man that molested me didn't go to jail until i was grown with a daughter of my own. They found child porn on his computer, then went back through his life and found me and SEVEN other girls he had hurt to testify against him. But he got more time for the CP than what he did to us 😔.
Me too😭😭
I was crying with the cops.
Bigs Tears on this one...!!!
If all police departments acted this quickly, we'd have a lot less unsolved cases.
To be fair to police; a lot of this case was luck.
A registered sex offender just happened to be dating the woman involved in a missing kid case.
Yeah, only for white kids🙄🙄🙄
@@ashleyhartford6048 no I’ll be honest Minnesota has an issue With men right now however kids are well protected here . Black or white they don’t play about children
These detectives saved this precious little girls life. All involved from the phone analysts, the GPS coordinatetors, and all working to bring her home. May you all be blessed many times over. Sending prayers for strength and guidance to Brittney, her family and friends ❤ I hope this child is able to heal, and continues to grow into the survivor she is. As she grows I hope that her journey is full of happiness, peace, and strength.
Wow.. Finding them alive is almost MORE heart wrenching.. I'm so thankful for this story to turn out better than it could
This is such a disgusting story man. That friend got instant Karma from the universe for doing the ultimate betrayal
So true. How could she do that to her friend. Its so sick.
There is no karma. Does not exist. That man planned to kill that lady so there would be no witnesses. No karma invovled, just officers being heroes. So sad not all cases end like this one.
@@imarvg8285 the universe paid her back..
@@mightyea nope. It was all good detective work. Universe had nothing to with it. The only time " the universe" gives two💩s about earth is when it's flinging asteroids at it.
@@imarvg8285 sad to be you.
When I was little I never understood why my parents didn't let me go to sleepovers not even at my cousins house. Now I'm so thankful because I know anything could happen even if you trust the person you are leaving your child with.
not all people and i disagree but have a good life
SAME!! I guess most Muslim families have these strict rules of sleepovers because they know what kinda world we are living in. I remember my sister was having this conversation about pedophiles with her 5 years old daughter and 4 years old son and I told her they're very young to know this and she told me, yeah and this is the time they should know since pedophiles know that they're unaware of these things.
That sounds really sad though. Everything can be dangerous, but you can't limit yourself or your child to that extent. It sounds like a completely irrational fear honestly. Kids have sleepovers all the time, what percentage have something bad happen, 0.001%? Crossing the street is more dangerous. I understand that maybe some people, countries and cultures are worse, but still.
@@EricJ0hansson It's not sad at all because we had sleepovers but with cousins and family especially during the holidays, 12 kids in one room and no adult. The actual rule was to not go alone to the friend's house and No sleepovers at cousin's house without an adult. My father was very strict in these since he was a military pilot he saw so many kids get sexually abuse so he did what he could so we don't get abused and then my brothers too were looking after us when my dad was not around. But I was never abused sexually and the same goes for my brothers and we are happy.
@@beheshtasiddiqui900 So what you are saying is you had sleepovers, but with family instead of friends. I don't understand how that's an argument against what I just said. I assume no one have sleepovers as kids without adults present in the house...
Wow, it is disgusting how desperate some women are for a relationship. To offer up a child on a plate? That is a new low...
The lowest form of woman
This is why I'm a stay at home mom. I know it's a luxury most cannot afford & honestly my husband and I scrape by to make it possible. However, the world we live in today is so full of sick disgusting individuals & I just cannot imagine having to turn my child over to anyone other than her immediate family. Hell I get nervous sending her to thier houses and to kindergarten! You just never know these days!
That is so sick to think of a friend for 30 years would agree to hand over a 5 year old girl to a sex offender. There's sick people out there. I'm so glad that the little girl is doing well, considering what she went through.
This is exactly why my kids don't stay w anybody. Plus wasn't it a red flag that the lil girl stayed while her son was away. Freaking psycho weirdo.
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the mother's life long friend would betray her in such a horrific way. Just another example of why I trust pretty much nobody and prefer my dogs and horses. Major props to the police detectives who found this little girl so quickly. It really is an amazing rescue.
She wasn't her friend. 🤷🏾♀️
@@mamarha2011 True, I guess I meant that she thought she had a life long friend.
Same here!
Some women take lust and desperation to a beyond sick place
Animals are so much better than people in most cases!
What a story, and a happy ending for this little girl. Thank God for putting everyone in the right place to save her.
Huge thank you to the police officers for their hard work and determination and quick actions. The end result could have been unfavourable had they not acted quickly and intelligently.
1) thank God they found the girl alive
2) Melissa got what she deserved
3) now do the predator next
Thank God for cellphone pings!!
She _was_ the predator.
yes.
Yes.
I feel bad for thanking maybe she got instant karma.. as a mother herself how can you do that?? Who knows what she did to her own child.
52 years?!? Triple that and we'll talk.
He would be 85, likely dead anyways.
Let's be real, he's gonna get raped and tortured so much in jail, he's not even gonna live for half of that.
He deserves only 1 day left to live not 52 years to waste space
yeah, 52 years isn't enough. Lets do death row.
@@htoobauerly7851 Yep, fry his ass! Lol
These cops are amazing. They really hit the ground running. Finding out who the suspect was within 20 hours when the person linked to him was dead in the fire. Why on earth do these sick, depraved monsters exist?
yea minnesota has some shixt cops BUT they take child crimes very seriously no matther the race or class .
THEY DONT PLAY BOUT THESE BABIES
And just think our govt wants pedophiles to become a sexual orientation like this no gender thing. There trying to normalize it like its ok to look at a child and be excited. Its the sickest of the sick.
You saved me 35 minutes. The title is not correctly published.
Watching special agent Chad get emotional as he tells the reporter about the picture has me in tears. 😭 Well done to all who worked on this case. 👏 ❤️
her voice 🥺 i will never understand how people can hurt little kids.
Nice hat
She has the voice of a little angel...love her. I don't often cry, but when the cops started talking to her, OMGosh I just melted. Soooo happy she's alive.
whatchu expect a 5 year old’s voice to sound like? a grown ass man? tf
@@cortney921 calm down
@@cortney921 😂 stop
30 years of friendship and she's willing to give up her so called best friend's kid to a depraved monster?
That poor little girl. I don't know how she managed to stay so composed and brave.
Wow these cops on this case are spectacular human beings. You can tell that they are truly emotionally bonded to this case.
My daughter is 3 and she has never spent the night anywhere besides both her grandparents houses and it will stay that way forever. You can’t trust a friend. That’s why I don’t have a babysitter even for a couple hours, and will continue to not have one.
He won't last in prison once they find out why he's there
You'd be surprised how well these monsters are taken care of..
There protected in jail & prisons these days,, but I’m hoping he went to the Minnesota prison called ‘gladiator school’ I’m sure they wouldn’t mind teaching him somthing 😈😈
Perfect
He will be on a yard that has the same inmates that have committed the same crimes. He will be fine.
Well I hope it's leaked !
The little girl saying "thank you for letting me pet your kitties" just broke me. I loved cats like that when I was little. I can't imagine what she's been through. I hope she heals and grows up to be a wonderful person.
Same I lost it I felt so bad I sobbed
Thank God that little girl is ok. Melissa plotted something so evil for her best friends child only to loose her life instead. It makes me wonder what danger her son would've been in had the man been into boys.
Her two previous husbands were sex offenders too. Her son probably did not have a safe childhood.
I was once a blonde little girl growing up in a trailer court and it is hard not to take this case personally. If Amanda and Melissa were best friends then Amanda must have known that her friend had the habit of bringing random men over who liked to perform sadistic and machonistic acts on Melissa's body. I just don't know if I would be sending my little one over to spend the night under those circumstances.
This little girl has to be the bravest human being. My heart breaks hearing her voice.
Same she sounded so strong! I don't wish to ever have kids, not in this horrible world and if I did I would be the most paranoid woman alive because of stories like this
@@call_me_mrhate165 i get nervous just letting my kid play in the driveway 😰😰
no crime against a CHILD should EVER be a sentence that allows them to walk around freely as if they’re one of us civilians. idc how you feel towards me saying this, if you have sympathy for em you might as well be them😒
100%. I stand with you.
I agree. There is no crime worse than hurting a child in this disgusting way. Kids that are molested or sexually assaulted are forever scarred. They turn into adults and they are still scarred. Forever changed by these sick sick individuals. I really think these monsters should be murdered because there is no rehabilitating them.
So true they need to bring back the death penalty hard you just can’t fix some penance violent offenders will always be dangerous and if given the chance the will offend again and again
Absolutely! You forfeit your right to freedom period.
Exactly! 💯 If they do anything to a child they should at the very least, never get out of prison!
OMG my heart was pumping when they found her. Such a relief when I watch true crime everyday and it usually ends tragically .
Finally a child is saved! Thank you! Happy Easter!
I had 4 children none of them sleep over in anyone house. Just like I never let my dogs or cat out of my sight. I trust no one with my children or pets. They both cannot speak for themselves.
Amen.
Triple amen
@Stephanie Monroy right! Cant trust anyone not even family smh
Lol 😂 you sound like my mom I use to be upset with her growing up for being over protective but thank God for her love for me and my siblings that she kept us close...kudos to u
Sounds pretty paranoid tbh
THE NATION NEEDS BETTER LAWS AGAINST SEX OFFENDER. THIS IS SICK!
Yes, like death on the spot! No life behind bars wasting taxes.
but the politicians are busy legalizing or amending laws on abortion and marijuana.
It's so sick. These monsters shouldn't be allowed to live.
@@cassiefoster8856 death is an easy escape
Exactly
This story literally made me sick to my stomach. This disgusting “person” should never see the light of day again.
Thank goodness for these police officers ❤
The baby’s letter 😩. Even through all that, she still had it in her hurt to show gratitude towards this monster for letting her play with the cats.
Oh please show the prisoners what he did... please let them know.
@John MN thats also true...either way, even in the sensitive needs yard he will be toast. As he should be. So let's rejoice in that. The only way he will escape prison retribution is if they pull a chris watts and keep him in solitary. Sure hope not.
Ohh hoooo hooo, it would be a shank scene, everyday.
@Sleeper 1776 nope, child predators are in the lowest of the food chain😂😂💀
He might turn up dead in that prison if the other prisoners know. Not that I'm against it.... he does deserve it.
He’s ended up in prison. Trust me he got his.
This is why you shouldn’t let your children out of our sight, too many sickos in this world, family and friends!!!!
Earths Crust I was thinking this the other day. How because I’m a woman if I see a kid smiling at me and I give them a little wave, but if a man were to do that it would come off creepy. This story makes me worry about women now too. You never know what a persons true motives could be
This horrifies me more then ANYTHING ELSE. I Was severely abused by those who should have been TRUSTED.... I Trust no one, except my husband mother n mother inlaw & a my sisters n brother god rest his soul, I have only had my child spend 1 night away from home it was an emerg my husband had to go to the e.r and I was video calling & texting like every hr the whole time just cuz I was scared he would be scared.

I'm so happy the child was found alive and didn't have to face this monster in court and talk about the trauma.
I hope this little angel will find the strength to forget everything that happen to her. Such a brave baby girl. All the respect ✊ to the detectives.
I would rather hope that, instead of burying her trauma deep down and trying to forget it completely, she keeps it contained till she's older then learns to confront what happened to her with proper therapy. I hope she ends up okay and well, what happened to her can really mess a kid up.
Kids are super resilient and can bounce back quickly.
However....it can definitely lay a bomb that will go off when she's older.
I absolutely respect and admire these officers and detectives. You guys did a phenomenal job on this in such a small amount of time. The world needs you guys on a large scale we thank you
“…but thank you for letting me play with the kitties.”
