he might as well have "im the daddest dad to ever dad" sewn into his uniform! i was watching this with my sister and she said she instantly would have felt comfortable with that guy if that means anything!
The daughters called the cops on their biological mother in defense of their non-blood relative sisters and brothers. That’s something that needs to be applauded.
The cop is treating her with more love and care than she has probably ever received from anyone in her life. I want to give this girl a hug and never let her go 😢
Yes, that's right, and, luckily, the children were saved. For those who abuse or exploit children, the law should be the strictest and abusers should not be given the chance to get out on bail. It is unclear to me how so many cops do not know the laws. If the cops suspect that a crime is really taking place in the house, they do not need a warrant or the consent of the owner of the house, but I repeat, only if there is a real suspicion that a crime is taking place. For example, when a shooting is heard in a house, the cops enter without a warrant or the consent of the owner because something is really happening. Many cops abuse it, and that's also a big problem.
The older sisters clearly loved and cared for her, or they wouldn’t have called the police. It sounds like they were also abused in their childhoods and kept a distance as adults, but tried to keep an eye on their siblings as much as they could from afar.
He knew it too. As soon as he told her to eat, it was clear he had a hard time handling the situation and what to do. If he’s not a father, I hope he is someday. Not all men can be a dad, not all cops can be a dad, this man is a hero cop and a naturally nurturing father figure.
This is just So heartbreaking.. any normal PERSON- not even a PARENT!- would give up their food/meal for a child.. this is so sickening.. sry but NOT sry that that monster is gone for good. Amen! ❤
She used pepper spray to torture them because it doesn’t leave a mark on them. Very calculated. And evil. I thank these officers for caring for the kids.
well she hits slaps and cuts them too... none of it should be happening. it should not be allowed to smack or swat or whup, hitting is still hitting, there are like 70 countries that DO NOT use physical/corporal punishment: Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Cyprus, Holland, just to name a few examples. these countries do not allow any form of hitting or whuppins' as a form of punishment and yet unlike here, these countries have much lower crime rates, much lower violence, they have higher school and academic performance and for those who do commit crimes the recidivism is much much lower than here. so while like any country or state, they are not perfect they have their issues but obviously they are doing something right that we should be modeling here as well.
You can build an immunity to pepper spray by exposing yourself to it everyday. 1 guy was sprayed by a cop. It didn't affect him at all. Finally, when the cop has him in cuffs, asked him why it didn't work. The guy said he works at the factory making the spray.
I’m wondering what happened to those kids that never made it into the reports. When children are raised in abusive environments, they can grow up believing those terrible things are normal. It may not even occur to a child to report something, especially if they’re told they’ll be punished for doing so.
“I want a better family” has me in complete tears. Poor girl, poor kids. She cried because she not only wants things to change, but because she mourns the impending separation from her mother. What a smart girl. I hope she has so much more than this in her future. Glad the older sister called.
The failure to report abuse charges were dropped after her death..... Unfortunately it didn't end there. In 2023 both brothers were indicted on multiple counts of sexual misconduct with minors. One victim was abused from age 6-9 and another was as young as 5.
@@zackamig4446holy crap! What absolute disgusting horror in that one house. How can such evil exist ? It is terrifying that anyone could harm children.
When she just wanted the door closed and the way that little girl cried and begged for help while this cow is sitting upstairs bitching makes me sick. Poor baby breathed a sigh of relief just to get a bag of chips. These cops are hero’s. The way they instantly make those babies feel safe is everything.
*RUclips HAS HELPED CAUSE MONSTROUS EVIL. MORE THAN THIRTY THOUSAND AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE SINCE 2001 AND RUclips HAS HELPED CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. RUclips HAS HELPED SUPPORT THE LIES THAT LED TO THE INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ WHERE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE KILLED.*
That CPS has been brought here to this home _many, MANY_ times is infuriating. We need a massive overhaul of our entire government system, but first and foremost is the people charged with *protecting innocent children!*
I haven't even gotten 1:30 into the upload and this comment is giving major insight into the overbearingly manical control of food this woman has in that household. Dabolically depriving children of food honing with her inner hound dog scent detection. This sounds like something out of a horror movie.
I can only relate to this type of terror because I was abused by my ex but I will never know the deep rooted issues of the abuser being your mother. God be with this little angel she saved her siblings I pray she's living with her sister megan safe and sound now
So proud of this officer who talked to the girl. He will never be forgotten by them. He showed so much compassion and understanding to her. As someone working with people in need I know getting this thankful reaction is more rewarding than every medal in the world.
very not true. ive lived with someones parents who starved and neglected their children the whole two years i was there (as a minor) she was literally a twig. she ran on methadone and coca cola. definitely not a good stereotype to make. makes others seem “less capable “ of being abusers🙄 also i guess i HAVE to discuss the fact i did call cps and the local police department. i brought up the fact i was a minor at the time because it was scary for me to witness. so i could only imagine the childrens pov. thanks for listening!
@@AmandaB.6529 Positively horrific! Empty packets of baby food strewn around a filthy house and the baby's stomach found empty? Obese dad, overweight mom probably snacking on them themselves. Again, Don't get me started!
"I love you too because you're saving me from this house" - broke me. What that clearly gluttonous slug posing as a mother is putting them through is horrific.
Sadly these things happen every day to kids either by their own parents or fosters. Sure DCF is overworked but, all those complaints and most times the kids go back to the same hell hole. No one who fosters should be allowed to homeschool.
@@notme2daythey're not overworked. They just don't believe the kid. They assume the kid is just unweary because it's a new house/new home/new owner. Then add in if the kid has to lie when they show up, they're not smart enough to read body languages or context clues.
Crushed my heart when she was trying to find the bruises to prove that she wasnt lying. That fear of no one believing you. That cop is so nice!!! He was always reassuring her
Didn't even think of that but yeah that makes total sense why she was looking. It's unreal to me that it got to this point, the amount of brainwashing and lying that kept those kids from getting help baffles me. Scared to the point where you lie when help is infront of you.
The adult son explaining the key in the door as a protection from chemicals and the kid going "now its a play room!" and opening it, showing the cops no chemical storage. Smart kid.
@LazerFriday Me too. This is what wikipedia said: In April 2019, the charges filed against Hobson's adult sons for failure to report child abuse were dismissed,[21] but in May 2023, prosecutors filed charges against the two Hackney brothers for multiple counts of sexual misconduct with minors.[15] Their indictments were sealed, and the identity of the victim (or victims) was not initially made public.[15]
The whole "Cops don't care if you're being horrible, they'll still give you food." Broke my heart. That poor baby actually believes she was being "horrible." The "I love you too, because you're saving me from this house" absolutely broke me. 😢
@@_Smarf_If you want to have this discussion, you are going to have to critically think. You’re saying “If God is real, why bad things happen?” What is good? What is bad? You cannot have one without the other. Think of heat. How do we know something is cold? It’s because it’s not hot, no heat or a low amount of heat. Same applies with God. God is good. Good here is a noun, not a verb. God is the source and definition of good. Without God, (heat) there is bad (cold). If this monster would follow God and his will, these things would not happen.
@@_Smarf_ Reddit atheists really are working overtime in random comment sections, huh? C'mon, "God Bless" is a common phrase, don't let it trigger you.
@@missustealie It's the unintended irony dude. Saying god bless to a child that's been pepper sprayed is pretty f-ed up. Yes, it's a common phrase. And, yeah, I was indoctrinated into the church at a young age. It's a socially acceptable cult that says really messed up things without thought. Explain to me why god didn't bless them and gave them this jabba the hut monster to torture them? Was that all part of the master plan? I was heavily abused as a child. I'm more triggered over that than anything else, to be honest.
@@matt_maximilian Dude, everything you say shows your ridiculous bias and, frankly, blindness. In the bible, god causes a flood that kills all life except for noah's magic boat. There would be a ton of evidence if there was a world wide flood. It would be all over the geological record. 2 of every animal is not enough to restart a population, y'know, because of inbreeding. He destroys Sodom. He tortures Job to please the devil. God is not "good". He's a genocidal mass murderer and in today's episode, a child torturer. There are 5000 world religions being practiced today. Christianity makes zero sense. None of what you said to me is actually in the bible btw. You're just making stuff up. It's a really weird argument. My argument is that if there is a god, he didn't act here. In the bible he intervenes all the time. So, he could've, if he wanted too but he didn't care enough to. He didn't save me from my abuse anymore than he saved these kids from abuse because he's imaginary. Why would a god be invisible? Why test us at all? Is that what you'd do with the powers of a god? I'd thanos snap all child abusers out of existence. Not sure why I'm the "bad" guy for thinking this way.
Unfortunately this happens more than I would like to even know. There are a lot of RUclips videos on these family channels that have horrible mistreatment behind the scenes
I don't know if you guys realize just how brave that little girl was, she did something I could never do growing up and risked 'getting in trouble' for telling them everything. I hope all these kids end up with people who will truly love and care for them because they deserve so much better.
Did they mention how long she was there with that family? That might be part of it. If she hasn't been brow beaten since birth to fear the parent it might allow her more room to have that bravery
I remember once I kept a journal that I had gotten from a relative to wrote down my feelings when my mom would abuse me. I hid it from her but she would see me writing in it occasionally… one night she snuck into my room and stole it . The next morning my oldest sister and her completely stone walled me , it was like that for weeks …. And I never got my journal back:( Sometimes it feels easier to just be quiet 😢
I hope that they get to stay with their older sisters. It would be a lot for them financially, but if they received government help, the kids wouldn't have to be put in the system.
You can tell that cop is a parent, I’m glad they were there to comfort those poor kids…they don’t deserve any of this. I don’t care how “bad” they are or whatever they’re doing (probably stealing food bc they’re STARVING). She as a parent/foster is the one who is supposed to caring for and teaching these children right from wrong, she has failed as a parent and as a decent human being. She’s a cockroach
@ oh 100%. you can tell he is probably a girl dad based on the way he knew to comfort her. down to the way he said “i love you and i don’t even know you!” UGH! some people do not deserve to be parents and yet here we are.
It’s amazing the strength this young child has! She has great skills installed deep within her to have the courage to do what she did, I hope from now on she lives an amazing life filled with love an continued strength. She could write so many books and people would definitely buy.
That cop sat down on the floor with the little girl. He was comforting her and really listening to her. Pepper spraying a kid is on a different kind of evil.
And the fact that she said that she emptied out two whole cans of that pepper spray on her. I've gotten just a tiny bit of pepper spray in my eye from practicing spraying Just a spec burns and for a little girl I could only imagine how much harder it is to deal with that pain but to be sprayed with two cans of it they may look like small cans but it's highly concentrated and to have it completely emptied out on you by somebody who's supposed to be your mom is honestly horrific. And she's so little too and she's so afraid.
He was so gentle with her and made her feel safe. I like the way he reassured the daughter that she was safe. Both of the officers did a great job. It would be hard for me to be professional and not absolutely lose it on the garbage mother sitting up there looking like Jabba The Hutt acting like she's being inconvenienced.
Her coming forward is probably the only reason this got solved. DCFS came several times but because the kids were told to lie, with no physical evidence and no testimonial from the kids, there’s not really anything they can do.
God bless Our Leo's !! Amen. God bless all these children , The little one who exposed it , The sister that called And Our Leo's that arrived on the scene.
Either a hero or a terrible liar. As a parent of a girl about the same age, she sounds like she’s being untruthful-and I believe the story about the adult daughters being vengeful especially after hearing that they were pepper sprayed by the mother to leave. They are likely junkies and the mother probably felt the need to protect the children in the house.
The officer in the pantry literally has me sobbing. The way he keeps calling her baby and reassuring her was already tugging at my heart but when he said “I love you” to that sweet baby girl, I LOST IT.
@bailmasterflex This "real justice" would have put her in jail for a couple of years max. For good behavior and a good plea deal, she'd been out in less than a year I bet.
I wish he had shown up to help me as a child. He was phenomenal. 😢 glad they saved those kids. My mom would withhold food from me as punishment. Would make my younger siblings eat in front of me to make it worse. I was banned to the basement, lock on outside of the door. Basement wasn’t awful but she would shut the lights off and it was horrible when it would rain and flood down there. Smelled of mold and mildew. I’ll never forget my siblings talking to me through the vents and one of my sisters snuck me glow in the dark stars so I would have something to stare at. As adults, my sisters still tell me they felt so guilty eating in front of me. I used to freeze paper towels and eat that as a snack when it was time to go to my room. Even what I went through, I don’t think I had it as bad as these poor kiddos. My heart breaks for them. 😢 that little girl is SO brave. ❤
@@TimePassesQuicklythat breaks. Heart I am so truly sorry you had to go through that. I'm sending you much love and I do hope you are doing ok. No one deserves what you endured and it's brave to share your experience.
@@suejonmeyers8362 thank you so much! I just wish I was as brave as that sweet girl so I could have gotten help. I was way too scared. I talk about it now sometimes but mainly only in trauma therapy. I have helped a few kids who showed up at my door asking for help. They played with my kids so I wasn’t a stranger. I have repeatedly told them I’m so proud of them and their bravery. I appreciate your comment. I appreciate you! I wish you the best in life. ❤️🫂
@ while I wish I didn’t go through that, my trauma has helped me help others who go through that. I’ll be forever grateful for that. It’s like my intuition KNOWS you know? I’d go through it again, if they meant I could help kids out. Be the person I needed you know?
That police officer that was in the pantry with that sweet baby girl is the true meaning of what a cop should be, especially in these types of situations. God bless him for helping those babies and putting her and her evil sons where they need to be and as for dying within 8 months of being arrested, well, you reap what you sow…
The US government doesn’t gaf about kids in the system. They just want to put them in a house and they don’t care who is actually in the house. Sadly, often time foster parents are way worse than the parents they were taken away from. Someone like this is allowed to have all these children but CPS sometimes takes kids away from loving homes because their parents are poor. The US really, really, really does not care about the well-being of children. It’s very sad and very scary
@@CraigGrant-sh3in It's an understaffed, underpaid, and overwhelmed system. It literally cannot work the way it's so low on the government's priorities (sort of like mental health in our society.)
To the older siblings... THANK YOU! I came from severe repeat childhood abuse as well and I've lived with CPTSD. Don't let this destroy you. Use this and make yourself better people. Those sweet babies. I'm so so sorry. None of you deserved any of this. Some people just never heal and the cycle repeats itself. She will never change. *hugs* ❤️🩹
That police officer that talked to the young girl deserved a medal. My heart was breaking listening to her cry and he was so comforting to her. What an angel.
Fortunately, some officers are not only compassionate but also trained to investigate these horrible things, which includes interviewing and comforting children.
My eyes were full of tears listening to that wee girl....when she told the officer 'I love you too because you're taking me away from here'.....I cried for her.....I really hope she and the rest of the kids are in happier homes 💔
I remember being a kid just like that little girl in the closet. All the people who were supposed to help before, only ever got me in more trouble. Maybe this guy will actually help... Should I risk telling him the truth about what my parents do to me? Good luck, girl. Love you.
@@cathymedina8876 Why would she bother adducting children when social services passes them out for free, hell they will pay you to take them. Countless reports came in on that monster and each time, the social services would mark them as "unfounded." No wonder those children didn't trust the authorities when they came to do an investigation. That tiny starved little girl in that pantry full of food she was too afraid to eat, broke my heart.
Yes, after the investigation into Machelle Hobson’s abuse was initiated, the children were removed from her custody and placed into protective care. Law enforcement and child welfare agencies worked together to ensure the children’s immediate safety and well-being. The children were provided with the support they needed, including medical care, therapy, and counseling to help them recover from the physical and emotional trauma they had endured. Specialized social services and foster care placements were arranged for the children, where they would be able to receive more stable, nurturing environments. Child psychologists and trauma experts were brought in to assess their emotional needs and to begin the healing process. Given the severity of the abuse they had faced, including psychological manipulation, physical punishment, and neglect, the children likely required long-term therapy to address the emotional scars from their experiences. While the specifics of their recovery and ongoing care have been kept private to protect their identities and ensure their safety, it is clear that authorities were focused on providing them with the care and support needed to help them heal and rebuild their lives. The public response to the case also led to increased awareness of the risks that children can face in online environments, particularly when they are exploited for content or social media fame.
If, by any chance you get to read this Stacy, I would like to tell you that you are one of the bravest persons I have ever "met". What you did for your siblings' and your own safetly deserves a medal of the highest order. You made it possible for you all to have the life every child has a right to: love, happiness and fun.
@@MewwDiePie you’d be surprised how many times you can find the survivors in the comments on a video about their experience, most of the time it’s healing to see others perspective
"you're fine baby, you're fine." I just know that girl probably hasn't felt safe like that as long as she's lived there. that officer talked to her so perfectly.
Not only that, but she was adopted out of foster care. We don't know the age, but it's safe to assume this wasn't her first go at a bad home. Heartbreaking to think of the hope she may have had when she was adopted, only to end up in a situation like this.
@@JesusFriedChristI don't think it's of a father but more so of a human. He sees that the kid's human needs are not being met and it bothers him as much as it bothers all of us.
That has to be one of the most heart wrenching rescues of a little child I've ever seen. I wish the young man were in a position to adopt her, I want so badly for her to be loved and cared for now, I can't help it.
Frankly, children cannot, and should not be able to consent to be in an adults videos. RUclips should have a stronger policy about this. Family influencers have proven time and time again to be a problem.
My wife grew up in a home similar to this. It never leaves you. She dreams she's back almost every night. More like nightmare every night. I'm glad these kids got out.
If she hasn't had therapy, I hope she gives it a try. The body most certainly hold onto trauma, but healing is very possible. It just takes a lot of work and a lot of reprocessing. Much love to her.
I went through much the same 2fosterkids, 2 adopted. .. Moms best friend was our worker..so we couldn't tell anything. We got beat senseless. .same punishment, off to bed w No supper to many times.. No the trauma never goes away.. but knowing God sure helps.
As a single dad of a 4 year old son, I have so much respect for this officer talking to that little girl. What a fucking hero. This makes me want to be a cop, I've never gotten this feeling so strong before but I know it's not all rescuing kids and it's a lot of other bad things but omg. This man right here deserves a award, a distinguishing award. I really hope they save these babies man damn .. how can someone be so cruel.... :( I love my son so much.
Omg yes I have the same reaction that made my brain bleed seeing all that food and only the 2 youngest got fed. So that liar said. So much food, and all those starving children. The heart hurts for them 💔
They probably rarely had talked about it before this point. that can make a child build up resentment and sadness and this is how it comes out. its absolutely heartbreaking
That cop has a great personality to interview small children. When he lowered himself to the floor so the child wasn't intimidated by him i really respected him! Great cop
💯 I couldn't agree more. I wish Society had as much patience as this cop had. I hope that cop is doing well & the adopted children found a loving & safe home🙏🏽
I was thinking that. I have no family but my mom and sometimes that gets me down. But she's extremely loving, and I'm extremely lucky. I desperately hope these kids get the love they deserve.
My parents and I had a lot of disagreements growing up, but never actual verbal or physical abuse. Every night they would make a home cooked meal, there were always snacks for us to have, and honestly if I was going through something difficult I COULD talk to them. We definitely had some tension but I felt safe and loved. I hope all the kids in this video now feel safe and loved, every single kid on earth deserves that.
NEVER has my mom EVER yelled at or even gotten UPSET AT US for breaking any of our dishes, burning food, etc. She taught us to be forgiving, loving, patient - just what the BIBLE ACTUALLY TEACHES! She's never twisted God's Word (only satan and his followers do that, he's been doing that literally from the beginning of Creation), she's been and is still the best example of a mom I've ever seent in my life. Even SKIPPED MEALS so that we could eat. She's self-sacrificial, understanding, selfless, absolutely amazing. My heart absolutely breaks to see KIDS being abüsed by such disgusting pigs
Yeah, same to these kids. They could have never said anything until they were adults, like I did, only to have nobody believe them or really care. This world will never be good.

The UK won’t allow them to adopt because the husband has some kidney issues, that are treatable with meds. They’d be the best parents on earth, have a big house, huge garden and both have great jobs.

Thank god that poor little girl is so intelligent and well spoken for her age. She truly helped save her siblings by being brave enough to share what was happening to them all. and thank god the adult sibling was brave enough to call the police and record the child’s statement.

@cnhamilton1982 Truly! His kindness in that moment- his empathy... she won't forget his help and love in that moment. I hope those children are healing today.
@ I couldn’t stop crying listening to them talk. I hope they are finally in a truly loving home too. That brave girl saved all those kids. I hope she will be able to see that one day.
This is so horrible. I am so pissed she died and did not have to face accountability. But that being said it is good.Those kids did not have to testify
if you think about it, she abused her daughters and her foster children, but not her sons. this is a huge clue that her rage stemmed from jealousy. she was probably a narcissist.
What a monster she was. I just wanted to wrap my arms around those babies. To be so terrified of eating because she would smell the breath broke my heart. This time, the trash took itself out
That cop who was talking to the kid needs a raise URGENTLY, that is the nicest cop I've ever seen So I've started a war apparently, you guys need to just stop because im trying to have a good day and i don't need 200 notifications about people fighting over the internet because some cops are assholes and some aren't-
Despite the other edgelord comments, I completely agree with you. It takes a special temperament to talk to victims who are children and he had it in spades.
This is the only channel that uploads narrated body cams that I'll ever watch BECAUSE I know it's not AI SLOP and BECAUSE it's PROFESSIONALLY AND WELL NARRATED!
I worked with Machelle Hobson at UAMC from 2013-2015. She would use those kids as talking points to get other to feel bad or boost her up for doing "so much". Everytime I hear her story pop up it reminds me of how many conversations I had with her over the years. Those kids deserved so much more and I'm glad she's no longer with us.
Just from this video it was evident she adopted to receive financial benefits from the state, be able to exploit these precious children for YT earnings, and get her ego kibble from what you described. Doing "so much". Which apparently was acting Mother Theresa in public and being super morbidly obese Marquis de Sade in private. In the five years since this happened, I pray the children have found loving, supportive families, effective and compassionate therapists, and healing and peace.
@BettyRage719 well you see, as in most cases these sickos do not appear to be doing anything heinous. All she did is boast about those kids to about 800 employees. None of us saw it because she seemed like a good mom from the outside. The yt channel and abuse is alleged to have began around the time she lost that position as a loan processor. All we ever saw of the kids was pictures
I used to daydream that I was adopted & my real family were out there desperately searching for me. “Stacy” is such a brave little girl. Knowing that this is 5 years later I hope they are all in better places & learning that adults can be kind & loving without the bad side.
If Megan took them in, I'm sure they turned out great. If they were returned to the system that placed them in that home--- the odds are against them. 😢
I used to think I was adopted too. My therapist (way later) told me I was intuitive enough at a very young age to know that what was happening to me, by my parents, was wrong. That "real" parents wouldn't abuse their kids. Sounds like you were intuitive as well ❤
That was horrific and the girl was smart enough to know how to spell it on her own and memorized it even though she couldn't pronounce it because their horrible ogar didn't school them was so smart of her.
I'm sorry if you have 8 reports of child maltreatment over a 6 year period and no one looks into the family with a fine tooth comb then that's a failure of the system
This is how my adopted home was. She adopted 6 kids for the money. Thank God they did something for these kids in this video. I remember I wasn’t fed at all and had to get a job at an early age to feed myself. The abuse was terrible. We made so many complaints but the system didn’t do ANYTHING!! I wish for a better system for children going through things like this. This story reminds me EXACTLY of my experience with my foster/ adopted family and I pray for people to check up on these adopted kids more often.
I hope you have been able to heal and feel proud of yourself for surviving. Feeling empathy for others who have had the same experiences as you shows a beautiful heart. You can be an inspiration to so many. ❤
I’m so sorry that happened to you. A lot of people don’t understand how messed up the foster system is. I hope you found peace and you heal. I’m proud of you for being here today! No child deserves to live like that
It took that poor, beautiful girl so long to reach into that box to grab the chips, she was so scared. I love body cam videos but ones like this are super hard to watch...
Probably had food stamps for them too and then to starve them. So heartbreaking and cruel beyond words. The babies needed these officers. Thank you to the brave ones who reported their own mom for the horrors she was committing. May they all be in a safe and loving place where they can learn and grow happily. Where they can be children and play outside.
When I was young I took my parents for granted at times, especially as an angsty teen. Seeing how many of my friends had their parents divorce and/or abuse them, and how much that effected them, let me see I was truly blessed with something rare and worth more than its weight in gold. Try to always appreciate that you have something far too many are born without
Every parents worst nightmare is NOT getting a visit from DCS, it’s harm coming to our children. It shows how selfish she is to say that. She only cares about her priorities of keeping secrets. I encourage everyone with a good heart to consider fostering. I’m a foster parent and would NEVER harm a child. They deserve SO much better.😢
The cop who was in the pantry with that little girl was absolutely wonderful. He did amazingly with that poor baby.
So nurturing! I’m so glad she felt comfortable with him in that confined space 🥺
AGREED! God bless him & those who Truly care about the children, animals & the most vulnerable ppl. I salute you all ❤🙏🫡
❤ my thoughts exactly.
When she said ‘I love you too for saving me’ I literally cried. That poor baby. 😢😢
he might as well have "im the daddest dad to ever dad" sewn into his uniform! i was watching this with my sister and she said she instantly would have felt comfortable with that guy if that means anything!
The daughters called the cops on their biological mother in defense of their non-blood relative sisters and brothers. That’s something that needs to be applauded.

Thank god for that angel even if its her own child KARMA CAME FULL CIRCLE
I believed the kid in the first place but her crying "She's gonna smell my breath" when the cop told her to have something to eat really fucked me up.
Ain't that the truth. 😮
@@eerietombs 😥💔
same that really shocked me, poor kid has gone through a lot
Thought I heard everything.. so messed up. That poor girl, that entire thing was hard to get through. I hope they found better families
Yeah. I know 😢😢😢😢😢
The cop is treating her with more love and care than she has probably ever received from anyone in her life. I want to give this girl a hug and never let her go 😢
Yes, that's right, and, luckily, the children were saved. For those who abuse or exploit children, the law should be the strictest and abusers should not be given the chance to get out on bail. It is unclear to me how so many cops do not know the laws. If the cops suspect that a crime is really taking place in the house, they do not need a warrant or the consent of the owner of the house, but I repeat, only if there is a real suspicion that a crime is taking place. For example, when a shooting is heard in a house, the cops enter without a warrant or the consent of the owner because something is really happening. Many cops abuse it, and that's also a big problem.
The older sisters clearly loved and cared for her, or they wouldn’t have called the police. It sounds like they were also abused in their childhoods and kept a distance as adults, but tried to keep an eye on their siblings as much as they could from afar.
He's a real one for how well he handled that. Not everyone could.
He knew it too. As soon as he told her to eat, it was clear he had a hard time handling the situation and what to do. If he’s not a father, I hope he is someday. Not all men can be a dad, not all cops can be a dad, this man is a hero cop and a naturally nurturing father figure.
"For who" was such a weird immediate reaction for the kid when he heard pizza was in the oven. Tells you everything right there.
omg good catch i didn’t even notice this:((
Very Sad, i hope they're all doing well.
It’s clear that only mom can eat cause she dosent skip meals based on her size.
This is just So heartbreaking.. any normal PERSON- not even a PARENT!- would give up their food/meal for a child.. this is so sickening.. sry but NOT sry that that monster is gone for good. Amen! ❤
And it cost her her life. Poetic justice.
She used pepper spray to torture them because it doesn’t leave a mark on them. Very calculated. And evil. I thank these officers for caring for the kids.
well she hits slaps and cuts them too... none of it should be happening. it should not be allowed to smack or swat or whup, hitting is still hitting, there are like 70 countries that DO NOT use physical/corporal punishment: Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Cyprus, Holland, just to name a few examples. these countries do not allow any form of hitting or whuppins' as a form of punishment and yet unlike here, these countries have much lower crime rates, much lower violence, they have higher school and academic performance and for those who do commit crimes the recidivism is much much lower than here. so while like any country or state, they are not perfect they have their issues but obviously they are doing something right that we should be modeling here as well.
Thats why pepper spray is illegal in the UK
You can build an immunity to pepper spray by exposing yourself to it everyday. 1 guy was sprayed by a cop. It didn't affect him at all. Finally, when the cop has him in cuffs, asked him why it didn't work. The guy said he works at the factory making the spray.
Those poor kids! 😢
I’m wondering what happened to those kids that never made it into the reports. When children are raised in abusive environments, they can grow up believing those terrible things are normal. It may not even occur to a child to report something, especially if they’re told they’ll be punished for doing so.
“I love you too because you’re saving me from this house” cut so deep. How does a person do this?
That one made me tear up. I can't imagine how someone can do this to kids. So unbelievably heartbreaking and disgusting.

“I want a better family” has me in complete tears. Poor girl, poor kids. She cried because she not only wants things to change, but because she mourns the impending separation from her mother. What a smart girl. I hope she has so much more than this in her future. Glad the older sister called.
Im so glad they arrested her adult sons too. How can you just turn a blind eye to that. There's no excuse. They're complicit
The failure to report abuse charges were dropped after her death..... Unfortunately it didn't end there. In 2023 both brothers were indicted on multiple counts of sexual misconduct with minors. One victim was abused from age 6-9 and another was as young as 5.

I haven't even gotten 1:30 into the upload and this comment is giving major insight into the overbearingly manical control of food this woman has in that household. Dabolically depriving children of food honing with her inner hound dog scent detection. This sounds like something out of a horror movie.
Did you see how much this poor girl's hands were shaking every time she held the bag of chips? Heart breaking!
I can only relate to this type of terror because I was abused by my ex but I will never know the deep rooted issues of the abuser being your mother. God be with this little angel she saved her siblings I pray she's living with her sister megan safe and sound now
So proud of this officer who talked to the girl. He will never be forgotten by them. He showed so much compassion and understanding to her. As someone working with people in need I know getting this thankful reaction is more rewarding than every medal in the world.

very not true. ive lived with someones parents who starved and neglected their children the whole two years i was there (as a minor) she was literally a twig. she ran on methadone and coca cola. definitely not a good stereotype to make. makes others seem “less capable “ of being abusers🙄

You cannot have one without the other. Think of heat. How do we know something is cold? It’s because it’s not hot, no heat or a low amount of heat.
Same applies with God. God is good. Good here is a noun, not a verb. God is the source and definition of good. Without God, (heat) there is bad (cold). If this monster would follow God and his will, these things would not happen.

Explain to me why god didn't bless them and gave them this jabba the hut monster to torture them? Was that all part of the master plan? I was heavily abused as a child. I'm more triggered over that than anything else, to be honest.
@@matt_maximilian Dude, everything you say shows your ridiculous bias and, frankly, blindness. In the bible, god causes a flood that kills all life except for noah's magic boat. There would be a ton of evidence if there was a world wide flood. It would be all over the geological record. 2 of every animal is not enough to restart a population, y'know, because of inbreeding. He destroys Sodom. He tortures Job to please the devil. God is not "good". He's a genocidal mass murderer and in today's episode, a child torturer.
There are 5000 world religions being practiced today. Christianity makes zero sense. None of what you said to me is actually in the bible btw. You're just making stuff up. It's a really weird argument. My argument is that if there is a god, he didn't act here. In the bible he intervenes all the time. So, he could've, if he wanted too but he didn't care enough to. He didn't save me from my abuse anymore than he saved these kids from abuse because he's imaginary.
Why would a god be invisible? Why test us at all? Is that what you'd do with the powers of a god? I'd thanos snap all child abusers out of existence. Not sure why I'm the "bad" guy for thinking this way.
Omg for that child saying "i don't wanna eat the chips, she will smell it on my breath!" This HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!!! SAVE THESE CHILDREN!!!!
the way she hesitantly stood up and grabbed them made me absolutely start sobbing, absolutely horrible, what a strong girl
That made me so upset. I’m so angry these children went through that abuse.
Unfortunately this happens more than I would like to even know. There are a lot of RUclips videos on these family channels that have horrible mistreatment behind the scenes

I don't know if you guys realize just how brave that little girl was, she did something I could never do growing up and risked 'getting in trouble' for telling them everything. I hope all these kids end up with people who will truly love and care for them because they deserve so much better.
I agree. Most of us don’t tell bc we’re too scared. God bless these children.
Did they mention how long she was there with that family? That might be part of it. If she hasn't been brow beaten since birth to fear the parent it might allow her more room to have that bravery
I remember once I kept a journal that I had gotten from a relative to wrote down my feelings when my mom would abuse me. I hid it from her but she would see me writing in it occasionally… one night she snuck into my room and stole it . The next morning my oldest sister and her completely stone walled me , it was like that for weeks …. And I never got my journal back:(
Sometimes it feels easier to just be quiet 😢
I hope that they get to stay with their older sisters. It would be a lot for them financially, but if they received government help, the kids wouldn't have to be put in the system.
she is the 'rocket scientist' of the family. no doubt about it.
They were rescued on my birthday, and as someone who grew up in abuse, I think that’s the best birthday present I can ever receive in my life.

And the fact that she said that she emptied out two whole cans of that pepper spray on her. I've gotten just a tiny bit of pepper spray in my eye from practicing spraying Just a spec burns and for a little girl I could only imagine how much harder it is to deal with that pain but to be sprayed with two cans of it they may look like small cans but it's highly concentrated and to have it completely emptied out on you by somebody who's supposed to be your mom is honestly horrific. And she's so little too and she's so afraid.

Very simply: That little girl is a HERO. There is no other way to describe it, HERO

Either a hero or a terrible liar. As a parent of a girl about the same age, she sounds like she’s being untruthful-and I believe the story about the adult daughters being vengeful especially after hearing that they were pepper sprayed by the mother to leave. They are likely junkies and the mother probably felt the need to protect the children in the house.

How can someone with that many complaints filed still be able to adopt or foster? Crazy.
The US government doesn’t gaf about kids in the system. They just want to put them in a house and they don’t care who is actually in the house. Sadly, often time foster parents are way worse than the parents they were taken away from. Someone like this is allowed to have all these children but CPS sometimes takes kids away from loving homes because their parents are poor. The US really, really, really does not care about the well-being of children. It’s very sad and very scary

No wonder those children didn't trust the authorities when they came to do an investigation. That tiny starved little girl in that pantry full of food she was too afraid to eat, broke my heart.
Yes, after the investigation into Machelle Hobson’s abuse was initiated, the children were removed from her custody and placed into protective care. Law enforcement and child welfare agencies worked together to ensure the children’s immediate safety and well-being. The children were provided with the support they needed, including medical care, therapy, and counseling to help them recover from the physical and emotional trauma they had endured.
Specialized social services and foster care placements were arranged for the children, where they would be able to receive more stable, nurturing environments. Child psychologists and trauma experts were brought in to assess their emotional needs and to begin the healing process. Given the severity of the abuse they had faced, including psychological manipulation, physical punishment, and neglect, the children likely required long-term therapy to address the emotional scars from their experiences.
While the specifics of their recovery and ongoing care have been kept private to protect their identities and ensure their safety, it is clear that authorities were focused on providing them with the care and support needed to help them heal and rebuild their lives. The public response to the case also led to increased awareness of the risks that children can face in online environments, particularly when they are exploited for content or social media fame.

Well she didnt have the most pleasant last 2 years, spending them in a prison and a hospital
She didn’t get out of anything. She’s got to face God now for what she’s done
@@lostandfound5145💯
She died? 5:28
@@JanetClifton-p1i yup
The cop talking to the kid in the pantry is the kindest man ever. that kid deserves him
He was amazing w her.
For real, he was like officer Mr. Rogers
I don’t know if he has a wife and kids at home, but he has the true qualities of a father 💙
@@JesusFriedChristI don't think it's of a father but more so of a human. He sees that the kid's human needs are not being met and it bothers him as much as it bothers all of us.
He was amazing with her I don't know how he didn't break down
“I love you and I don’t even know you.”
“I love you too because you’re saving me from this house.”
I cried. These poor kids.
That has to be one of the most heart wrenching rescues of a little child I've ever seen. I wish the young man were in a position to adopt her, I want so badly for her to be loved and cared for now, I can't help it.
Me too dude
@@cynthiatolman326 the cop would be an amazing father to her it seems
My LORD my heart is aching as i watch stacy recount all these HORRIBLE Scenarios... 💔🥺
That little girl NEEDED that male police officer. That conversation was the first part of her healing ❤
People need to STOP subscribing to channels where children are ‘content’! People like her take children for financial gain
You must be new here.
Agree!
@@Chris65645 typical troll
Frankly, children cannot, and should not be able to consent to be in an adults videos. RUclips should have a stronger policy about this. Family influencers have proven time and time again to be a problem.
@@Chris65645 listen here BOY? You new around here..BOY?
My wife grew up in a home similar to this. It never leaves you. She dreams she's back almost every night. More like nightmare every night. I'm glad these kids got out.
😢v
If she hasn't had therapy, I hope she gives it a try. The body most certainly hold onto trauma, but healing is very possible. It just takes a lot of work and a lot of reprocessing. Much love to her.
EMDR therapy
@@paranoid_android33 she has. It helped and hurt her. Time seems to be the best healer. We're both Christians 🙏
I went through much the same
2fosterkids, 2 adopted. ..
Moms best friend was our worker..so we couldn't tell anything. We got beat senseless. .same punishment, off to bed w No supper to many times.. No the trauma never goes away.. but knowing God sure helps.
As a single dad of a 4 year old son, I have so much respect for this officer talking to that little girl. What a fucking hero. This makes me want to be a cop, I've never gotten this feeling so strong before but I know it's not all rescuing kids and it's a lot of other bad things but omg. This man right here deserves a award, a distinguishing award. I really hope they save these babies man damn .. how can someone be so cruel.... :( I love my son so much.
The fridge and pantry is so full and the children are hungry. It’s beyond me how horrible people can be!
Omg yes I have the same reaction
that made my brain bleed seeing all that food and only the 2 youngest got fed. So that liar said. So much food, and all those starving children. The heart hurts for them 💔
@@BeachButterfly22 so saddening!
That fridge was DISGUSTING! Letting food rot versus feeding it to your children is unspeakable.
Just like the 8 passengers family.
Most of that food was for the disgusting 'mother'; look at her....looks as if she's eaten most of it already.
That cow has never missed a meal.
She even ate the children’s meals.
That’s an insult to cows.
That woman is the devil.
True
@@Laughy-Flaaffy Yo how's my boy Lucifer catching strays right now?
They're always land whales.
This girl is unbelievably brave. I hope her and her siblings find a great home.
Dude this cut so much deeper than I expected… I’m a grown man I’m crying and I can’t help it. I wish this wasn’t real.
The children talking with such emotion broke my heart!
Undoubtedly unscripted, and yes, heartbreaking.
They probably rarely had talked about it before this point. that can make a child build up resentment and sadness and this is how it comes out. its absolutely heartbreaking
Touch grass
I agree. The parent(s)is/are scum of the lowest kind. But, is your handle a reminder of the 1960s song The Name Game? I'm just curious.
@JJones-zg7yz your hard drive needs checking
That cop has a great personality to interview small children. When he lowered himself to the floor so the child wasn't intimidated by him i really respected him! Great cop
That cop deserves a medal. He's so sweet and compassionate. He must have kids.
If he does, he's going to have PTSD real hard after that call. 😢 And his kids are going to get a super tight hug that night.
Horrible. Those poor children. I hope they are out there living their best lives. Much love
That cop who talked to the kid is amazing. He had the perfect amount of patience and a nice cadence for calming kids down.
💯 I couldn't agree more. I wish Society had as much patience as this cop had. I hope that cop is doing well & the adopted children found a loving & safe home🙏🏽
Need more officers like him.
@@Benjy1 I bet he's a father.
that kid saying "I want a better family" made me want to go hug my parents. You never realize how lucky you are.
Exactly right
I was thinking that. I have no family but my mom and sometimes that gets me down. But she's extremely loving, and I'm extremely lucky. I desperately hope these kids get the love they deserve.
My parents and I had a lot of disagreements growing up, but never actual verbal or physical abuse. Every night they would make a home cooked meal, there were always snacks for us to have, and honestly if I was going through something difficult I COULD talk to them. We definitely had some tension but I felt safe and loved. I hope all the kids in this video now feel safe and loved, every single kid on earth deserves that.
NEVER has my mom EVER yelled at or even gotten UPSET AT US for breaking any of our dishes, burning food, etc.
She taught us to be forgiving, loving, patient - just what the BIBLE ACTUALLY TEACHES!
She's never twisted God's Word (only satan and his followers do that, he's been doing that literally from the beginning of Creation), she's been and is still the best example of a mom I've ever seent in my life.
Even SKIPPED MEALS so that we could eat.
She's self-sacrificial, understanding, selfless, absolutely amazing.
My heart absolutely breaks to see KIDS being abüsed by such disgusting pigs
Yeah, same to these kids. They could have never said anything until they were adults, like I did, only to have nobody believe them or really care. This world will never be good.
Its amazing how people like this adopt/foster so easily but a family who would love the child struggles to adopt
That's because our foster system is corrupt to its core. Just like every other State or Government organization. Pure evil.
@@perpetuallyoffended2561 most likely due to situations like low income areas will take someone with a record if they will take a child in. People who are in better economic situations have more requirements for fostering unf
@perpetuallyoffended2561 because child abuse is profitable for the system. Gives them an excuse to hook them on ssris and lower their intelligence.
@@michellebelle1204 That's stupid. That sounds like a tax bracket: The better off you are, the more restrictions and requirements we are going to push on to you.
My friend and her husband can’t conceive, they’ve tried everything; IVF, gastric band to lose weight, fertility meds.. EVERYTHING.
The UK won’t allow them to adopt because the husband has some kidney issues, that are treatable with meds. They’d be the best parents on earth, have a big house, huge garden and both have great jobs.
It’s disgusting.
The police officer is so wholesome!
He was so gentle with the children , calming them down and making sure that they are ok !
"I want a better family". That cop was so good with her.
It’s heartbreaking to hear that little girl fighting through her tears as she talks about the horrors she’s faced.
Her courage is remarkable for someone so young. Hope she’s doing well 😔
I sincerely hope they are not all Permanently scarred by their horrendous treatment.
@@cheriem432 i think she'll be ok. she was clearly not broken by evil woman.
Thank god that poor little girl is so intelligent and well spoken for her age. She truly helped save her siblings by being brave enough to share what was happening to them all. and thank god the adult sibling was brave enough to call the police and record the child’s statement. I’m so glad the police did this right and were so sweet.
“I love you too because you’re saving me from this house” I’m crying. How dare the mom putting these kids in this situation
She pepper sprayed her own kids. That's just... there's no human words to describe how vile that is. Just pure evil.
I tried to make up a situation where you'd need to use pepper spray against your own child. I couldn't.
She apparently just liked hurting her kids.
@@ichmeiner4531 and not just one bottle but two I’m 20 and I’ve been pepper sprayed (for security training) just one little spray and it’s hell on earth imagine two whole bottles of it I can’t imagine what she went through the poor girl
that babygirl in the pantry was so brave. this is sickening 💔
When that little girl cried and said “I want to have a better family” I had to fight back tears.
Same. Even that Officer was hiding his tears too.
14:27 “Every parent’s worst nightmare is to have DCF called on them”
??? IS SHE SERIOUS???
Most parents would be fine with it because they know that they’re good parents and DCF won’t find anything
These officers treated those traumatized children so kindly. Wow.
They were incredible. Especially with the little girl in the pantry
@cnhamilton1982 Truly! His kindness in that moment- his empathy... she won't forget his help and love in that moment. I hope those children are healing today.
@ I couldn’t stop crying listening to them talk. I hope they are finally in a truly loving home too. That brave girl saved all those kids. I hope she will be able to see that one day.
God bless that one officer who told her he loved her. You can tell she really needed to hear that
And her saying it back because he was saving her from that house💔 That got my eyes a lil misty😢
@@Nikki_with_the_blikki me too 🥲
That little girl crying in the pantry talking about being starved & threatened absolutely broke me...
And in a pantry that’s stocked to the top 😭 poor thing. She’s probably spent days just thinking about trying to eat something and being too afraid to.
yet another ruby frankie
This is so horrible. I am so pissed she died and did not have to face accountability. But that being said it is good.Those kids did not have to testify
"I love you too because you are saving me from this house." My heart can't take it, that poor child.
salute to the biological daughter standing for the kids she is not related by blood against her own mother
🥹♥️
Makes you wonder how bad she had it she knew what they going through
She’s amazing, she went through it too, I guarantee it
if you think about it, she abused her daughters and her foster children, but not her sons. this is a huge clue that her rage stemmed from jealousy. she was probably a narcissist.
"I love you too because you're saving me from this house" just broke me 😢😢😢
When she said that it brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely heart breaking.
What a monster she was. I just wanted to wrap my arms around those babies. To be so terrified of eating because she would smell the breath broke my heart. This time, the trash took itself out
Hearing that cop tell the little girl her loves her shattered me into a million pieces. I can’t imagine the horrors she’s been through.
That cop who was talking to the kid needs a raise URGENTLY, that is the nicest cop I've ever seen
So I've started a war apparently, you guys need to just stop because im trying to have a good day and i don't need 200 notifications about people fighting over the internet because some cops are assholes and some aren't-
That's just basic decency. Shouldn't need to be rewarded.
@Abyss, I agree wholeheartedly. God bless him for his compassion
He's just doing his job.
Despite the other edgelord comments, I completely agree with you. It takes a special temperament to talk to victims who are children and he had it in spades.
@@three_mountaineers775 spot on!
This is the only channel that uploads narrated body cams that I'll ever watch BECAUSE I know it's not AI SLOP and BECAUSE it's PROFESSIONALLY AND WELL NARRATED!
Ikr, all the other ones I see use the same trash ai voiceovers that have the worst jokes too
i agree the videos have very good production values
Yep EWU do an awesome job!
facts. i don't even click on other videos cause i can't stand the voices.
theres lots of good ones with no ai
That poor poor baby in the pantry… my heart is broken. So happy she got out.
I worked with Machelle Hobson at UAMC from 2013-2015. She would use those kids as talking points to get other to feel bad or boost her up for doing "so much". Everytime I hear her story pop up it reminds me of how many conversations I had with her over the years. Those kids deserved so much more and I'm glad she's no longer with us.
Just from this video it was evident she adopted to receive financial benefits from the state, be able to exploit these precious children for YT earnings, and get her ego kibble from what you described. Doing "so much". Which apparently was acting Mother Theresa in public and being super morbidly obese Marquis de Sade in private.
In the five years since this happened, I pray the children have found loving, supportive families, effective and compassionate therapists, and healing and peace.
And that wasn’t a red flag for you? What did you do to try and help these children?
@BettyRage719 well you see, as in most cases these sickos do not appear to be doing anything heinous. All she did is boast about those kids to about 800 employees. None of us saw it because she seemed like a good mom from the outside. The yt channel and abuse is alleged to have began around the time she lost that position as a loan processor. All we ever saw of the kids was pictures
I used to daydream that I was adopted & my real family were out there desperately searching for me. “Stacy” is such a brave little girl. Knowing that this is 5 years later I hope they are all in better places & learning that adults can be kind & loving without the bad side.
😢❤😢
If Megan took them in, I'm sure they turned out great. If they were returned to the system that placed them in that home--- the odds are against them. 😢
What a weird thing to randomly add to a video like this.
I used to think I was adopted too. My therapist (way later) told me I was intuitive enough at a very young age to know that what was happening to me, by my parents, was wrong. That "real" parents wouldn't abuse their kids.
Sounds like you were intuitive as well ❤
@@bdawg1118not at all
that child crying and talking about being pepper sprayed broke my heart
She's a liar
@@JJones-zg7yz
And you are who?
Two entire bottles is sickening...thats true torture.
@@JJones-zg7yz you were there?
That was horrific and the girl was smart enough to know how to spell it on her own and memorized it even though she couldn't pronounce it because their horrible ogar didn't school them was so smart of her.
I'm sorry if you have 8 reports of child maltreatment over a 6 year period and no one looks into the family with a fine tooth comb then that's a failure of the system
This video made me cry. That little girl is so brave and I hope she knows how amazing she is.
This is how my adopted home was. She adopted 6 kids for the money. Thank God they did something for these kids in this video. I remember I wasn’t fed at all and had to get a job at an early age to feed myself. The abuse was terrible. We made so many complaints but the system didn’t do ANYTHING!! I wish for a better system for children going through things like this. This story reminds me EXACTLY of my experience with my foster/ adopted family and I pray for people to check up on these adopted kids more often.
I hope you have been able to heal and feel proud of yourself for surviving. Feeling empathy for others who have had the same experiences as you shows a beautiful heart. You can be an inspiration to so many. ❤
I’m so sorry that happened to you. A lot of people don’t understand how messed up the foster system is. I hope you found peace and you heal. I’m proud of you for being here today! No child deserves to live like that
The adoption system in the USA and the money involved in it destroyed the noble and loving act of adopting a child
@@carolwilson1236❤

The torture of all that food and you can't touch it when you are being starved. I hate this
It took that poor, beautiful girl so long to reach into that box to grab the chips, she was so scared. I love body cam videos but ones like this are super hard to watch...
@pelicanine 💯
I wouldn't doubt by the looks of it that mom was probably eating mounds of food in front of them as torture as well.
hopefully she gets locked up this is just dispicable
Probably had food stamps for them too and then to starve them. So heartbreaking and cruel beyond words. The babies needed these officers. Thank you to the brave ones who reported their own mom for the horrors she was committing. May they all be in a safe and loving place where they can learn and grow happily. Where they can be children and play outside.
This totally brks my heart. Thx LE for not only risking ur lives but dealing with child abuse to protect us.💜🧸💜
These type of parents make me proud to have good and loving parents
Same
Is there a Dad around or just Machelle?
U are very lucky
When I was young I took my parents for granted at times, especially as an angsty teen. Seeing how many of my friends had their parents divorce and/or abuse them, and how much that effected them, let me see I was truly blessed with something rare and worth more than its weight in gold. Try to always appreciate that you have something far too many are born without
When that little girl told the officer she loved him for saving her, I broke down crying. How absolutely heartbreaking 😢
To hear the little children’s voices is so heartbreaking. I can’t stop crying. These poor babies.
Every parents worst nightmare is NOT getting a visit from DCS, it’s harm coming to our children. It shows how selfish she is to say that. She only cares about her priorities of keeping secrets. I encourage everyone with a good heart to consider fostering. I’m a foster parent and would NEVER harm a child. They deserve SO much better.😢
