      I told myself the episode wouldnt get to me but it did. The compassion the Deputy or Sheriff had along with detectives and community was touching. Is it known if either Royce or Kim ever changed their story? Kim seemed to downplay her involvement too. I also wonder if the biological Father ever saw signs of abuse prior to them splitting up.

      I'm a 67 year old man and this story absolutely broke my heart. I just can't believe that people are like this. Especially a mother. When the officer said the mother confessed her daughters last words were " I love you mommy" it made me tear up. Those words are meant for loving and caring moments. Memory making moments of joy. Just wow. My praise to how these gentlemen worked this case.

    • @lorimiller4301
      @lorimiller4301 Год назад +20

      They don't care about the baby because it's needs are seen as trouble for the mother.
      The baby is a burden.
      They don't want to breastfeed, they won't get up at night and they turn the responsibility over to their man no matter what he does to the child.
      They stick by their man no matter what anyone says.
      Don't ask me how I know.
      You never really get over such a painful rejection even decades later.
      I guess she had her own trauma or whatever and my needs weren't that important.
      Breastfeeding causes chemicals/hormones to flood your body and they help you to bond to your baby.
      Please feed your babies if you have them. If you don't love them, please give them up for adoption.

    I accidentally bumped my first-born's head on the door frame as I walked through it while holding him. It wasn't even hard enough to make him cry, but I still remember (sixteen years later) that horrific feeling of knowing I'd caused my baby pain. I simply cannot fathom how a mother could allow another person to abuse her child like this, let alone take part in it herself. It does not compute.

      I think one of the biggest issues this country faces as a people is poor conflict resolution skills and poor emotional regulation. Someone that doesn't have emotional regulation won't stop and walk away. Someone that doesn't have conflict resolution skills doesn't know how to deescalate a situation from becoming potentially violent in the first place. So yes, kids will push every button you have, and yes, you need to walk away, but a parent has to learn how to regulate their emotions such that they don't become so pissed they are at risk of beating their child or so that they are able to keep the situation from getting there in the first place. But to be blunt, some people shouldn't have kids in the first place.

      ​@@Shmaplesyes, both are responsible, but the outrage towards the mother being more severe is BECAUSE she IS the mother. She carried that baby in her womb, gave birth to her, fed her, played and laughed with her. As a mother, her number one job is to protect her baby. She valued this sick piece of crap man over her own flesh and blood. Helped murder her and disposed of her like trash. She deserves all the wrath she's getting.

Claiming that the woman was controlled by the man, brainwashed or whatever. There's no excuse. This woman was her mother, she had a duty to protect her child. The mother is an adult and has choices and options, the child does not. It disgusts me and angers me seeing women making excuses for this. Blaming all men for women's failures. There's a lot of horrible men, but there's also horrible women out there. Enough excuses. When you have a child your life is no longer your own, and every decision made should always have what's in the best interest of the child first, not "I'm lonely and need a man asap". It's disgusting and selfish.

    Those investigators are just so amazing. Their hearts were shattered having to go through that. I send love and blessings to all of them in the hope they find peace from this awful situation.

    This baby wasn't being difficult and this wasnt the first time!!! They were abusing her for months the Grandma even saw it when she changed the diapers and told them this was unacceptable why isnt she in this video. They continued to torture her because she said can i have, instead of may i please have!!! Most two year olds cant talk and he tortured her for not knowing to say please and may like wtf!!

    Her victimhood and sense of entitlement is off the charts. Those poor kids.

    Wonderful officers. I had goosebumps and watery eyes so many times during this episode.
    Big burly men crying for that poor baby was my weakness. Rip sweet baby girl.

    I hope that the parents hear these words. Your the kind of people that make decent people throw up it they merely think about you.

    After hearing what that precious baby girl went through, it broke my heart. I have a 2 year old and he's my whole world.💔
    Hope those two monsters never see the light of day again.

    the interview with the artist who painted her, was really interesting and insightful for her job. People usually can't imagine to paint a dead baby girl but ..alive.....

    35:08 I personally want to thank you and your team and other detectives all over the world who are able to do the type of work you do because the majority of us can’t. I also want to thank God for giving us people like you who can do this type of work. RIP Angel Baby Riley 💜👼🏻🙏🏽🕊
