I can’t stand child abusers. If a dog hurts a child they put the dog down. They need to do the same to sick individuals. Period.! End of story.!!!
100 percent agree
Well said ,I totally agree !!!@
I agree.This country os too soft on them especially repeat offenders.
ABSOLUTELY, NO QUESTION!!
Totally agree
When I divorced my husband, my daughter was just a kid. However, I made her a promise that she would never have a step-father. Not under my roof. I said to her, from this day forward 'It will be you and me against the world!" I kept that promise to her. She is now 35, graduated 2 colleges, successful, and just wonderful. Always thanking me for having shield her from the horror stories she heard in school. At 25, she had the words' "you and me against the world" tattooed on her shoulder that Mother's Day. Nobody comes before my child!
❤️
Power mum❤🎉
yes these special type of animals prey on single mums with young children. It's deplorable. You understood the assignment and Aced it sweetheart♡
You put your child first. I admire that. Iam lucky to be married for 27 years, but if I was ever single again, I would stay that way, as my three kids are my priority. You did a wonderful job and I congratulate you for putting your child's welfare first. Too many women put their children at risk by inviting men into their child's home.
@@abigailfreeman715 Thank you from a mother to a mother.
The step father was molesting the daughter more than likely that was her secret.😢 such a horrific man I hope he’s in prison for the rest of his life. 😢😢😢
A drastic change in child behaviour, rebellion, wanting to stay away from family & the change in relationship between Jenna & her step father is a sure sign of sexual abuse. Only something that bad would cause this murder to happen
That's my thoughts too.
Not true. Not true at all.
Agreed 👍
My first thoughts too 🙏
I think her Mum should by now get the change in her daughter and how she hated her stepfather. He had obviously been sexually abusing her for a number of years!
Cases like this are why I stayed single to raise my children…. I just made them my priority. Now that they are all grown I’ve met a wonderful man I’ve been with almost 3 years who also has grown children. I regret nothing. I’m glad I made the choices I did.
Me too,
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💖
Stop putting others down for their choices Miss Perfect,stop judging.
💯 me too ❤
@@Froggie757froggiefroggiefroggithat"s a harsh thing to say. I also brought my daughter up preferring to wait until she was independent until I starting socialising. We all have a choice and this story enforses the decision i made for my family.
I was a child protection social worker for over 25 years. That monster was sexually abusing her since a very early age. All of her and his behaviours were indicative of that. Too bad there is no more death penalty because he deserves it. An evil monster.
No there’s no evidence to suggest that was happening
However her friend witness him slapping and pushing her down the stairs. By all accounts he was a violent narcissist, who physical abused his step daughter and all because he wanted to control her
@@paulchristopher8634are you a child protection officer too. Even i picked up some of the points youve just poo pooed
Child protection officers are useless like most Gov workers
Mother didn't get it: did she. 😢
@@_Meng_Lan100% agree, what on earth is the muppet above doing, trying to defend or minimise this monster's behaviour?! Breathtaking lack of common sense...
Being "mature for your age" is not a compliment. It means children, usually girls, are forced to look out for themselves when adults won't do it and they're usually sexual1sed at an early age. It is not normal to have an ex boyfriend at 15, a 13 year old with a 2 year relationship with a 17 year old. I'm hearing adults making a lot of excuses for themselves particularly the parents.
No matter how mature for her age or how in love they were she was 13!!! and he was 17 my god it should not have been happening.
@FC-hj9ub so true. How can a 13 year old be "mature for their age?" They only just entered their teen years. This young woman had a 17 year old boyfriend at 13 undoubtedly it was sexual and her Mom encouraged it. Why is it no one blames the parent when she was not parenting? Losing your child is tragic but Desiree did not and was not on her job.
Exactly
Indeed. It was interesting with a 2023 UK perspective watching events of 2002 when a 13 year old with a 17 year old boyfriend was not quite so badly regarded as now but even then it was certainly not the norm.
exactly! why we celebrate kids who have to skip childhood and assume adult rolls I will never understand. and someone can seem more grounded for their age too and intellectual but that DO NOT mean they are ready to be in a romantic or sexual relationship. that is a whole different skill set than reading Kafka. kids simply cannot be ready to have sex young maturity wise. you can't rush that. you can rush learning math not emotional development
Her mother allowed her daughter to date at 13!!!! and then the man is 17!!!!1Things were wrong on all levels !!!
17 is a boy, not a man
4 years older than just a teenager, poor girl she grew up to quickly. She wasn´t really cared for enough in any way.
@@TS-rd7oy still a man, just becsuse the law says at 18 years that onr becomes an adult
@@anthonyladerman9189 absolutely she was13 and definitely a child..
He is a boy.
So the neighbour heard her shouting at her stepdad and watched as he dragged her inside but never phoned the police ?
My exact same thoughts! 😮
Pedophiles often groom women to get to their children. Heartbreaking to find out the hard way when you are a loving and trusting person yourself 😢
Ladies and gentlemen, please becareful who you're bringing into your homes among your children. There are a lot of wolves in sheep clothing in this world that we live in. Open your eyes. RIP, Jenna.
Exactly. Statistically, I believe her secret was he had been molesting her for years... hence all the acting up at age 14/15.... yes, WAKE UP!!
Absolutely 💯
Very true!
Very sad 😔
What would we do without this advice?
Don’t ever trust a stepdad with your daughters. Ever.
Or son!
Not every stepfather or stepmother is physically and/or sexually abusive towards their stepchildren sometimes they even treat their stepchildren better than their own children.
Sometimes their own father will do terrible things to their kids too
Though I know people need to be extra careful,, i take umbrance at your generalization. MY son is a step-dad. He raised my step granddaughter from the time she was 4 years old. He stepped up to the plate when her father basically had another family and had very little to do with her. I brought him up to be a decent human being, so NOT every step-dad is in this category of the monster they are talking about in this video. I think mothers need to be aware and talk to their daughters that they can and should come to them if anything is off kilter, and if they DO come to them, then the mother should take the matter seriously.
Or a stepmum
Not only kill and dispose of her Jenna's body, but to torment her mother. Utterly despicable, hope he rots in prison.
RIP Jenna 🙏❤️
He is a monster . Cruel and insensitive as well as selfish. He not only killed Jenna he also destroyed his wife and his two daughters as well as his parents. Horrible!!!
@@AccentYouLovingheartHow could his warped personality not be noticed by anyone?!
To him though, he was doing what he "needed" to do to keep his lies safe & him free, with NO thought of what he was doing to Jenna's mum.
The biggest horror about the phone messages is that he was obviously set on continuing a relationship with Jenna's mum... KNOWING he'd killed her daughter & the texts & ph calls were to cover his lies so he could CONTINUE his life with her mother & his kids...That's another level of evil....😢
Very very manipulative. Evil
When you are a divorced mom, do yourself and your children a favor and raise them on your own. It's not easy, I know, but they don't get molested by someone you brought into the house and it keeps them alive.
You are so right I never let anyone near mine
@@lizzysimner7715 You have every reason to be proud of yourself. Being a single mom is almost always un uphill battle but it's heaven compared to getting involved with the wrong guy.
@@AnimaLibera totally agree so many out there that cannot be trusted
Some men target women with a child too for that reason
Or Dad
Anyone who says 'she's mature for her age' immediately sets of warning bells, it's usually because someone (in this case her stepdad) is making her do mature things she isn't ready for.
This monster violated Jenna, and silence her after she threatened to tell about the abuse, he then silenced her for good😞
So many red flags listening to this horrible crime. So sad she didn't feel she was able to share her secret with anyone especially her mum. I think it's obvious what her secret was.
Rest in peace beautiful Jenna 😔
He was abusing her, some women don't want to see the truth in front of them, my mum didn't. RIP Jenna, tough lil cookie xxxx
I am so deeply sorry, Monique, and I sincerely congratulate you for having lived through that, many don't. I hope you can become a better mother to yourself than your mother was and go on to lead a fulfilling life
Nope he was a narcissist, who wanted to sideline his wife from her family. In other words he wasn’t in control until he had her all to herself. The way he did that was to abuse her by using violence against his step daughter
When I had to leave my daughter’s father, I made a commitment to my two daughters that no man would share our home, so I did not even date. I had had a stepfather and did not want that for them. So much abuse is preventable. Very sad story
Why would you continue to use his name why would you bury Jenna
using his name I would change it completely it's quiet obvious what he did to Jenna
Because that was her legal name…😵💫😟
@@sandyschneider6792 her legal name is always her birth name!! In the registry, she would be listed under her birth name with the remark "known as Jenna Baldwin". And you can write whatever you want on her headstone.
Where in the world are these these sick men thinking towards their step daughters.I'll NEVER trust a man with my daughter, NEVER
Well said! Nor my son.
I agree with you 💯 unfortunately some women are desperate to be with a man they’re willing to sacrifice their child.
Please, don’t tell she wasn’t aware.?!? That’s not an excuse, there is no excuse.
And also sons.
So true😢
This narrators voice is just beautiful. So articulate, crisp and lovely.
Did the Mom not see any verbal abuse towards her daughter? The friends saw it!! I believe he sexually abused her, he’s a piece of sh@t that needs to rot in hell!! There was more to that home life that I believe the Mom knew (aka verbal abuse) and ignored….beyond tragic!!
Sure she saw but ignored 🙁 mum's usually have the greatest sense when it comes to things like this. It is her fault too
Mom saw and knew. Ignoring it unfortunately is a strategy for many women rather than facing the truth. Thus such sexual abuse is rampant in families..
We're not professionals and even WE know he was molesting her since she was little. Seriously WAKE UP people! Acting up at 14/15?? Red flags everywhere.
I agree if my daughter changed so much and my husband was abusive to her I'd want to know what was going on.
A lot of mothers are so blinded by love so they choose to not see
So horrific that he not only murdered his stepdaughter but to all intent and purposes taunted the family and friends afterwards. Great police work thank goodness, which ensured the monster was imprisoned
I think we all know what he was doing to Jenna to cause the dramatic change in her behaviour. This vile and pathetic excuse for a man is just another abuser in the worst way possible.
Red flags are signs like him not accepting her choices, constant criticism and trying to portray her in a bad light. All control issues and shows the true dislike and anger at his ability to control and silence her slipping from his hands.
I'm so sorry this happened to Jenna, so sorry for her Mum, siblings and family. Her poor siblings now have a murderer for a father and will have to live with the traumatic realisation their father killed their sister. My heart breaks for them.
I hope he rots in this life and the after life.
Fly free Jenna, your light will always shine brightly on this world x
well said
I don't know if its just because of watching these youtube vidios(so its not a realistic relection of society re men), but it seems to happen SO many times it's insane ! I can't get my head around it with just how incredibly common it actually is(men sexually abusing children ☹️)
You have said everything I wanted to say.
@@Littlemouse884 Me too. I keep telling myself to stop watching them, psychologically it's a hard reality especially when children are involved and it's frightening as there's so many tragic cases. I totally understand.
Stepfathers is the word you are looking for.
Unbelievable, that they didn't investigate the stepfather FULLY when she disappeared....
The mothef is in denial. "Something" changed her daughter. How could she not see the wolf eyeing the spring chicken. She did not protect her daughter. Every little negative thing he told he about her flesh and blood, the mother accepted as fact. Those actions are why her daughter could not tell her the secret when she was in danger of a predator. Her mother was weak.
I agree. This mother allowed (and even liked) the 17 year old boyfriend to hang out with Jenna because in some ways this boyfriend was a shield between the stepfather and Jenna protecting her. I believe the mother is not telling the truth because then people will question why she didn't confront this horrible man or protect her. There is more to this story. I feel the mother knew that this man stayed in marriage because he was able to abuse Jenna without consequences. She would never tell the truth because she wants the limelight on her for being a victim (poor mom mourning a child.) I am interested in psychology. Some women are so obsessed with being 'married' they will let anything slide.
Very weak.
It's sad that the mom couldn't see the signs that her husband was abusing her daughter. This mom was blinded by her 'love' for the creep of a husband 😢😮
Most times, mom don't want to accept what they feel and see.
You can't blame her mother. He'd been helping raise her daughter since she was very small. There were no signs until she was a teenager, and many teenagers assert their independence and have arguments with their parents until they are more mature.
35:40 👋🏾. Know who you pick up to bring in your home when you have kids! Sleep well Jenna. 🕊🕊🕊
Can’t imagine the guilt that mum feels. While it’s not her fault, it just demonstrates how important it is to scrutinise men so willing to take on the role of the father to kin that aren’t his. It’s far too common , where children are hurt at the hands of a man that is not the biological father. While this is such a shame for those genuine men, who step up for kids who aren’t theirs, but pedantic scrutiny is the only way to actually protect the kids.
The lady says “Its a very close community - everybody knows everybody else - It’s a really nice place to live”.
That sounds like a hellish place to live, to me.
what's so hellish about knowing your neighbours?
Yes, traffic, pollution, and people who pretend you don't exist sounds heavenly. Having people around who are willing to help you out is such a nightmare.
I agree. I lived in a village like that- like living in a goldfish bowl. We all have different needs, mine is to have space and privacy.
Usually lots of space in and outside of a village. You have privacy behind your doors like anywhere else.
Pontypool is my home town and I now live in the next town Cwmbran both places are horrible to live in. Noone says shit until it's too late.
Thought straight away he was the one. Never invite men into your home with young kids. Wait til they grow and leave home
The problem is many of these desperate women don't want to wait that long. It appears that keeping their beds warm and fannies hot is much more pressing. 🙄🤭
2 years old? He raised her as his own?
@@tantalize5795how is she desperate?
Don’t victim blame. Could have been her uncle in another house and never stayed overnight. Just an example
to kill a child who was about to spill the beans on a massive secret he must have been abusing her from an early age thats what i believe and he decided to stop her, an evil calculating monster RIP Jenna
Absolutely 💯
He is an evil monster.
Abuse usually starts at 8 or younger.
Facts ! And the mother is stupid to not think this !!!
Oh! I agree!! Exactly what happened!
Why was it deemed okay for a "relationship" between a 17 yr old & a 13yr old child 🤔 That aside I believe the stepfather had been abusing the daughter & that he was also the one who had gotten her onto drugs. It's possible he targeted Jenna's mum to get to her daughter sadly. Sick twisted individual only concerned with himself. R.I.P 🙏💜
The cruelty of this guy’s behaviour with the phone is unforgivable . Whatever the secret she was going to share it led to her death.
He needs a rope!
R.I.P.Jenna. 🤗💗 This is one of the saddest True Stories i have ever come across.
Oh come on Mom. Your daughter was showing signs and you just shipped her off the her aunts place? Poor girl.
How cruel this man was to mislead his wife the way he did. It’s clear she is very depressed, her voice is flat. I can’t imagine she will ever get over the murder of her daughter. My support and love go to her and the rest of the family. ❤
Stepmoms and stepdads, what a disgrace. And the fast asleep unsuspecting mothers and fathers who are as much to blame for bringing these total strangers into their children's lives. Hats off to all mothers and fathers who stay single for their children's sake. My mother-in-law cared more for her children when her husband passed early in life, by staying single to give her seven children a safe upbringing, putting her own personal needs aside. God bless her soul for that.
❤🎉well said. Now my daughter is 26.
So true, my nephew's mother had all sorts coming and going from their home. I really hope he is still able to become a well adjusted adult. If you move on, that person should put in years of commitment and dedication to you and the relationship before they are in your home and fully exposed to your kids.
That's a pretty big blanket statement. My "step" dad was and is the greatest man I've ever known. I miss you everysingle day. ❤
Not all step parents are horrible people. My stepmom is the best thing that ever happened to me so check yourself
Actually, blood related fathers sexually assault their daughters 30% more than step fathers. So no.
My heart goes out to Desiree, she lost her daughter and was betrayed by her 2nd husband. Hope she has found some peace now. RIP Jenna.
so sad😔
And she seems so sweet.
I'm glad to see sympathetic comments. I've seen so many blaming her mother for remarrying. That's so unfair. After years together, she wouldn't suspect anything. He's to blame, only him.
If someone runs away from home and one of the items they take with them is a teddy bear, I don't think they are quite old enough to leave home. I would be fairly sure that they would be back rather soon. We had not been fighting but my husband wanted a break and he jokingly told me he was going to "run away from home" and he actually packed a suitcase and drove away. About two hours later he was back and when I asked him what happened, he rather sheepishly said, "I couldn't think of anywhere to go." And he was significantly older than 15. I haven't watched all of the video yet but I'm finding it rather curious that stepdad is the only one who has seen Jenna after she "ran away" and I am fairly certain that Jenna's mom will never see her again. I think she has made a fatal mistake in bringing this particular man into her daughter's life. We'll see.
Seems like everyone knows what this was about, he sexually abused his stepdaughter, yet nobody dares to say it out loud
A mother always knows!!! Some of them remain silent because they don't want to lose the SEX!!! This mother ssounds so innocent, but she is as guity as her husband!
Sexual abuse led to her murder, I believe. Rest in peace poor girl.
Nope what do you know about narcissistic behaviour
This is the greatest advice. We live in a SICK world.
And incredibly evil.
The world is no sick,some people are
World is beautiful... Some peoples behaviours are sick.
Cases like these made me a single mum for 26 yrs.Not easy but peace of mind superseds any of that kind of pain.
Build your relationship so your children come to YOU and confide in you.
Chemical castration and solitude confinement if you abuse a child.
Death penalty if you kill your victim.
Dont trust anyone with your children. Definitely use hidden cameras around your children. Protect not neglect
When I was put out on my own at 15 it was with the clothes on my back, bought a thrift store coat for 25¢ so police need to learn to question so-called adults and don't go by what you think is not taken.
I’m so sorry you have had such a difficult time. I pray you’re ok now. The people who are supposed to care the most for us are oftentimes crap at it. As we,in turn, can also be, even when intentions are good.
What you think is not taken?
good point..hope you are in a better place in your life now. Some parents are utterly despicable.
@@katrinaglanville3612 What helps make life sweeter among the sour patches are sincerely caring people like yourself Dear💕🤗 Kindness is a choice we can all make despite how truly horrible we have been treated.
@@sara_._paula bless you🥰
Another mother who put a man before her child 😑 how blind do you have to be not to see the signs 🚩🚩 RIP Jenna (sorry all the adults in your life let you down) 😞
This mother saw the signs, but she chose this beast over her child!
A mother would usually see the signs that something's amiss especially when there's a sudden change in behaviour of her child. Red flag right there! He was probably molesting Jenna from a young age and when she reached puberty, her rebellious beaviour was put down to being a typical teenager.....meanwhile, that monster was the cause!
Rest easy Jenna
I feel so sorry for the mother. She will forever miss her daughter. No grandchildren, No daughter.
He wanted the body to decompose so his act of SA WOULD NOT BE FOUND
Precisely!
Poor Desiree, that monster must have been abusing Jenna, I can't imagine how Desiree must feel....
He might’ve pretended from the beginning to be romantically interested in the mother just to get access to her daughter. Unfortunately, there are men like that out there. They pass on ladies with only boys or ladies without children in the home, but if she has a daughter they’ll pour on the charm and attention.
He probably groomed her and was diddling her. But finally she threatened to tell her Mom.
These piggs "groom" the idiotic mothers first in order to get access to the children. I've said it many, many times before: Single women, stop allowing random males (or females) into your home without KNOWING their past behaviours, relationships and insufferable bad habits BEFORE making a home together. ☝🏽🤨
Yes or taking pictures of her or something. She was no longer compliant and she knew her mother would choose her over him
IMO there are a lot of different ways you might have shared what everyone else was able to surmise and express with a modicum of sensitivity. 😔 Rest In Peace, Jenna. You deserved so much more.
My mum re married when I was just 4. My 'step' dad is the most amazing man on earth. He's cared for myself and my siblings like his own, for over 30 years now 🫶 he's the only man that has never hurt me. He's taught me how to do DIY, basic car mechanics and all sorts of other wierd & wonderful life skills. He's also shown me how to love unconditionaly and he treats my mum like a queen, he is our hero ❤
That's wonderful to hear.
It's very tragic indeed. However, this mother has a degree of direct responsibility. There was clearly extreme tension in this home, perhaps even abuse and yet the mother sided with her husband. And her negotiation with the murderer about possibly getting manslaughter rather than first degree murder also suggests that there was a side of her that wanted to "forgive" and "minimise" what he had done even though he murdered her biological daughter.
AND SHE STILL SAYS SHE DOESN’T KNOW JENNA’S SECRET AND WHETHER IT WAS POSSIBLY AN ACCIDENT?! What’s wrong with this woman? No wonder she was so easily duped and used by that creep! Sickening.
my brothers n i had a most wonderful step father, how dreadful fo those folks😑
The worries that concur my heart and mind sometimes, when I watch and hear things like this happens in real world, I can't live miles away from my x because of our kids. The advice here, it doesn't matter how inlove you think you are with your new partner, when you have kids, put those kids first and make sure you have peace with your x..
You are a great father
👏🏽💖👏🏽
@@CarleneSmaltz-xj6nd I'm sorry too to read this from you, I can imagine what you are going through as a mother just by reading your comment. Stay safe
there must be some give away signs from this man's behaviour. So sorry Jenna endured this abuse I am sure for a long time
I hope he receive what he deserves in prison.
🤣Me too!! But I’ll bet when the other inmates find out, and they WILL, he won’t be able to walk much, or sit, or close his eyes!! 😂🤞👏 He deserves what gets him while he waits for his NEXT sentence, HELL! 🙏👏🙏👏
When I was 18yrs old my mom brought a young man home. I was shocked, but was forced to accept it. He became my step dad. He treated me very badly and eventually sexually assaulted me for years. I look back on that and thank God that He took me out of that situation.
At 18? And abuse you for years?
@@juliacoburn7455Maybe a typo as it seems trollish otherwise
At 18 no one can abuse you for years you had choice to leave the house
@@aishadavina4426 You were not there, I was. I was in matric and didn't have anyone to go stay with. I also had no job . I find your reaction lacking in empathy.
@@cathyvanzyl6306What's matric?
I moved out when I was 18 and got a job and my own apartment.
Are you disabled or something?
Allowing your 13 yr old daughter to be in a live in relationship? Wow😮
From what I gather the secret was probably sexual abuse. No child just changes that quickly in behavior. If she didn't want to come home at all, then that is the secret she would of told. She was scared of him. If he done it to her, then if there was another young girl in the house then he would of done it to her. Predators done stop once they start.
I hope the mother can one day find peace and find true happiness once again.
I guess that 99% of us, having heard the whole story, have the same idea of what caused Jenna to change and what she was about to reveal to her mother. There are several typical details - Jenna's beauty, the fact that she was very mature very early, her stepfather's unnaturally prolonged and explosive jealousy of her boyfriend, her wish to leave the house etc. Men with this type of pathology often choose women with children as partners, to be able to stay close, develop a relationship and groom the child. His own two daughters have at the time still not reached puberty, but they would've very probably been his next targets. Another tiny detail he invented reminded me of the patients I worked with, whose subconscious often spoke in symbols and archetypes, in order to verbally and emotionally distance themselves from their actions. In this case, it is the description of that non-existent mysterious girl who he "saw" with Jenna. She was high on drugs, she was behaving without any inhibitions and she is a redhead. For centuries, red hair was considered a sign of witchcraft, allure, sex appeal, deceit and female promiscuity, so in his description of Jenna's mysterious new friend, the girl's behaviour and her looks depict an unmistakable archetype of young immoral temptress who symbolically takes his step daughter away, never to be seen again. He has literally created a split between two Jennas: on one side is the young, innocent daughter, on the other is what he perceived her new, attractive, irresistible young female self to be - the part he was not able to withstand.
I do hope that Desiree and her two daughters have been able to reconstruct their lives and find some closure and peace of mind.
Nope you have it wrong
This man was a narcissist who used violence as a means of control. In other words he wanted his step daughter out of the way as a means of sidelining her from the rest of the family.
Very interesting analogy, Jungian in nature. I agree with this take on an unfortunate occurrence.
The mother must have had some idea of this monster
I'll never understand how woman bring strange men into their lives around young daughters. He seemed too eager to want a daughter. In general it's a red flags men seeming desparate for an immediate family with young children. She starts acting up at age 14/15?? More red flags. I wouldn't be surprised if he was molesting her since she was a child. You can't trust anyone.
No, she didn't.
How would you possibly know that she was not aware? Unless you lived in the home with them, you could not possibly know.
Utterly sickening & so many lives ruined . RIP Jenna .
I think that there is more to this, possibly sexual but no one will ever know. Very sad
I know the Agony of Losing a Loved One to Murder, but no knowing where they are is even more Heart Shattering!🥀💔🙏🥀💔🙏🥀💔🙏🥀💔🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
The naivety of the mother is disturbing.
Who's to know whether he would have abused the other girls. RIP Jenna ❤
Her REAL father is devastated by this..... I hope you've contacted him before posting this and bringing it all up again!!!
He doesn't seem to have been involved in her life and he gave up his rights when he allowed her to take the stepfather's name. He should have protected his daughter.
Very impressive detective work.
I knew 2 secs into the video what happened to her. Her stepfather 😢😢
Her perants failed her. Her mum by bringing evil to the home and the father by giving up on his daughter😏
This Mother knows more than she is saying
Exactly.
Clearly and calmly narrated, with quiet background music. Respectful towards Jenna and her grieving mother.
From the beginning of this story I realize that stepfather was abusing this young girl sexually and because she fed up of his abuse was going to tell her mother and he kill her 🤔 shameful dunce Man need to be in jail nasty monster 😢
Mike was a good father at first to Jenna, but when her mom stated earlier the video that Jenna suddenly changed from being a loving daughter to a rebellious girl at the age of 13 - I guess thats when Mike started to abuse his step daughter. Jenna does not know how to keep it to her family as she loves her siblings and her mum.
Pure evil, taunting that poor woman when she was desperate to find her much loved daughter. May he rot in hell !
When parenting is weak. Parents want to be their children's friend.
I'm wondering where the Mum was living from her daughter's 13 birthday on, became she would have had to deliberately turn a blind eye to her daughter's horrific abuse not to see it. Seems everyone else saw things, they just didn't put it together, no way she didnt know.
They enjoyed various forms of art 😂 never heard drawing coffins that before
I would like to acknowledge that Jenna was a beautiful person both inside & out. All that trauma she suffered for so many years didn’t make her destructive of others neither self destructive. Well done dearest little Jenna! God is taking care of you. Her family should celebrate all the wonderful things she did; the wonderful person she was. She obviously sacrificed herself to protect her family, not withstanding her own pain.Good on Jenna.Words cannot express the love you deserved. 💕🥰❤️
I mean ‘ the love you deserve’
Be happy to have known her.
The secret was that he'd been molesting her since she was around 13. He knew that if she told her mom that it was the end of the marriage and the end of him seeing his other 2 children ever again. I hope some big bruiser in prison shows him what's it like to have done to him what he did to her. R.I.P. Jenna.
You can't be sure about moms reaction mostly is like 🙈🙉🙈🙉🙈🙉. The same hear.
Lovely Police ,so sorry for Jenna and her Mum ,don't let that animal spoil the rest of your life Sinead ,Cornwall
Sexual molestation. Had she revealed that information to her Mum, he would be charged and imprisoned. I believe she had kept her secret for quite some time. Held over his head, he knew it was only a matter of time and he would be DONE FOR. Glad he is locked away from Des and never allowed release from prison where he belonged in the first place.
No there is no evidence to suggest that.
However there is evidence to demonstrate that he physically abused her as a means of sidelining the wife from her family. In other words they use power and control to have their partners all to themselves
You are in an abusive marriage? Fair enough,divorce. But if you truly love your children you will NEVER bring another man into your house OR vice verser. I'm of the belief that your children must come first....ALWAYS !!
Utterly horrifying. Immensely sad.
Thank goodness for really dumb criminals!
Wouldn’t want it any other way .
The amount of people who don’t own a shovel & how many are captured on camera buying their ‘ kill kits’ …..shovels etc is just amazing .
Wicked tragic thing to do ……..the ultimate evil taking that poor young girls life 😢
Really dreadfully sad 😢
An argument could be made that girls should stay with their natural fathers & not in a house with a stepfather or mum’s boyfriend …..
Not applicable to this case. The biological father relinquished his parental rights to Jenna.
Red flags from the strart sadly 😢
The mother seems proud to say Jenna was 'mature for her age' Well no wonder as Jenna seems to have taken a lot of parenting responsibility for her younger siblings. And why did the mum even allow a 13-year-old child to go anywhere near a 17-year-old young man? I blame the mother entirely, the woman deserves to be held responsible.
I agree with you 100%.
😱 cor what a shocking story, may she rest in peace 🙏 another interesting video thanks 🖤
A word of advice to all those who are looking for love out there, if you think your new found love is the perfect person, and it seems too good to be true, then question that! Question everything before you allow people in. The fact is, we can live with someone for 20 years and never really know who they are. Be vigilant, stay alert and trust no-one with your children!
Even a child's own biological father cannot be trusted. There shouldn't be any men in this world; only women and children.
Mum knows!They ALWAYS do!
You need to be very attentive to your children's emotions and keep a open line of communication, without it everything can callapse
Good evening, and Thank You for the video.
Why would the neighbor not phoned the police when she heard her screaming grrr!!!!!! Poor girl he groomed her and she had enough I think she had a boyfriend so early for protection if only she had told someone that Mike was abusing her.
Sadly, its said that this case has already been referred to the parole board by the secretary of state for justice for consideration of his parole. What does life sentence mean?!
Their son, Joshua has been treated at a rehabilitation unit after spiralling into drink and drugs, while the youngest child, Hannah, has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Justice sucks 😪 and should be facing Justice ⚖ itself !!!
This happened in England, no secretary of state.
There was a case very similar to this in the US. The killer turned out to be a friend of the step father, though.
My husband adopted my daughter after I'd divorced my previous abusive ex. Thankfully, their relationship turned out really well, and they're very close.
This case is so sad. It's such a betrayal. 😥
I wonder where her real Dad was in all of this? So sad,
