I remember calling the cops on my upstairs neighbors years ago. I heard the father beating his child and then threw her across the apartment I heard her land! The cops came, then they took pics of the apartment and arrested the mom and dad. They never moved back in. I’m glad I said something.
That’s good. Usually LE does nothing or CPS doesn’t pay attention and then like here, just keep sending the kid back. Arrests are a big deal. Good for you!
Kids were born and kept for the welfare benefits. Most prison inmates had a egg donor like this awful woman who beat Daytwon. Refusing to call her a mother- she's just an egg donor.
Yes that's how's it's got to be one day I saw tall men pinching n twisted a kids arma..I tolldhey stop that inside a Walmart ,he look at me trying to hit me then he mellow down when he saw people coming our way he just away ,now I regret it should call the cops..I know for a fact that man was gonna beat that kid
I was today years old when I found out my Aunt Rosie and Uncle Albert were foster parents, but makes so much sense knowing how much of nurturing human beings they are and how much they love their family. Such a tragedy what happened to this young man. Had to ask my mom about this and she said my Aunt and Uncle really fought to keep Daytwon Bennett under their care but unfortunately were unlucky. They fought, wrote letters & they told the judge “if you send him she going to hurt him,” but no one listened to them. R.I.P Daytwon Bennett
This little man had a chance to be loved by your Aunt and Uncle, the system failed him, may he rest in peace, and may God continue to bless your family.
That one lady seemed like she saw him regularly..smiling talking bout he would jus be in underwear an crying smh those camera ppl shoulda asked her why, why didn’t you call for him?
I had to walk away from my family because somehow there’s child abuse and sexual abuse since I was a kid and they brush it under the rug. I will forever advocate for kids. Rest easy papito❤
Child abuse has come to light in my family just recently. Myself and 2 family members also abused by the same person. I wanted to go to the police but the other two want to just forget about it. Which means he gets away with it. It's historical but he still deserves to pay for ruining our lives
I was abused, and my parents have apologized and have made up for it exponentially. It took a lot for them to admit it, but after they did, I was able to forgive them. I broke the cycle and have never and will never abuse or harm any of my children.
@@sharonwhite6126don’t keep quiet. I did, until I couldn’t. By the time I came forward, he had moved on to my little cousin as well. When our older cousin, the little cousin and I talked, she knew she wasn’t alone and though I should’ve been her hero she became mine. She stood up for us, he admitted he was gonna go for my little sister next, and still he got a slap on the wrist, but people now know he is a monster! Dont let someone else’s fear, keep you in fear. Go make a statement, make your voice heard, tell your story, so others know what kind of creep that person is. Not only will YOU feel better, but you taking that first step may be what the others NEED! Maybe they need a leader because they still fear that person. They will NEVER forget, it’s almost impossible to do so. And telling doesn’t make it go away, but I promise it COULD start the healing process….which WILL get worse, before it gets better. My other cousin she SA me as a child and she still won’t admit it, even though she recently got caught SA her patients. Others wouldn’t come forward but making that report helped me, it helped me start to heal something I suppressed because I was made to believe “girls don’t do that to other girls”
@coolColdchica I am very sorry that sexual abuse + child abuse ran rampant in your own "family" household, and at such a young age. You did not deserve that. Thank you for advocating for children ❤ this has to stop
@@rileycoyote8275I'm glad you held your parents accountable and the took the necessary steps of accountability to actually change. Mine won't see it that way as I am their scapegoat child, but that's not my problem. We give them a chance to change, and they keep repeating their behavior. I'm glad your parents decided to remove the end of abusive cycles. God bless you abundantly.
youre right about the neighbours knowing everything only when the cameras show up. I wish people would stop saying "it isn't my business" when someone is being abused. It makes me so mad. My God.
It just makes NO SENSE to me! People have this idea that they don't "want any issues" since they live there. Okay, so when the kid is dead whats changed? Those issues vanish? There still can't be people who retaliate or have an issue with you talking on camera? Its like the second the news breaks everyone has this need to feel seen ans heard all the sudden. I saw a video on witness of Elisa Izquierdo. She didn't want her face shown, and the first thing she said is "I haven't been sleeping right since it happened.". She also mentions how every night she should hear her being abused she was thankful when it ended because she could finally get some sleep. The fact that anyone would say that and not hear themselves boggles my mind. Some people are so disappointing.
@CJ @Evil Intentions I AGREE WITH U SIST💫R and Brother! Thank u for keeping these little angels memories alive and makjng their stories be heard! angels gone 2 soon. AND ON THE FLIPSIDE EQUALLY HORRIBLE THERE ARE FAMILIES BEING DRAGGED THRU THE SYSTEM THAT DONT BELONG THERE. WHILE SHIT LIKE THIS IS GOING ON AS LONG AS THE SYSTEMIC PIGS KEEP HARASSING THE DECENT FAMILIES THESE MONSTERS GET AWAY WITH THIS AHIT WHILE THEY TERRORIZE GOOD PPL AND REMOVE KIDS FROM HOMES WHERE THEY GET KILLED IN THE SYSTEM. WE NEED TO RISE UP. WHO IS WITH ME?
It's so sickening. They didn't care enough to speak up when the children were alive and being abused. But once they're dead and these bystanders have a camera in their face...they're telling everything. As if they want to clear their conscience or something. Look what happened to Devante Hart and his siblings. One of the neighbors had the nerve to say she didn't report the abuse because her husband told her "to stay out of it". I was so angry.
Unfortunately that’s seems to be a common scenario. Many foster parents will continually call DCFs or PD bc they are terrified of what the child, they’ve cared for and grown to love, may be going through after being returned to the bio fam only to be told “it isn’t your business” or “everything is fine or they would not have been returned to the parent(s).” Then the child ends up not being seen in months or they actually make it to the hospital only to be DOA or pass away shortly thereafter. This whole notion of reuniting family being the end goal has always seemed illogical to me, especially when they have been reported multiple times and the child(ren) are then finally removed and actually get put into a loving home where they truly begin to flourish because they are getting enough to eat, love and care so they feel safe, being kept clean, etc., then adults who are supposed to be ensuring the childs welfare stays priority one, all drop the ball from the parents and everyone involved on the state’s payroll.
17 years??!! And you are right the neighbors are so quick to get their time on camera when the news is there but want to "mind their business" when the actual crime is being committed.
From Uk. Once I worked at a national charity as an administrator. They had been receiving calls from a child who would not leave names and details. I was only working there for 3 days when the child phoned. To cut a long story short it was due to that call I took the child was rescued. What really shocked me was that the paediatrician, counsellor and social worker who had received many calls from the child did not know how to gain her trust. I was forthright with them and pointed out that if they cant communicate with vulnerable children without referencing some textbook definition of how to go about it, the only thing they were protecting was their own jobs.
I’m a teacher and taught in the Bronx for years. I have called CPS a few times. I refuse to see a child be neglected and abused and sit by and do nothing. Not just because I am mandated, but because those kids become mine when they’re with me.
@@JulieSevelson-nb9nj yes that's the truth,same here in the UK,I don't love all my fellow human beings,only the very few that are genuine and that I know,
I grew up abused by a mother who hated me.The circle of violence and abuse needs to be broken, I had only one child who never in her life was harmed by me and as I grew older I always hoped to start a home for abused kids, a place where they could grow up safe and loved and never have to feel the brunt of their parent's anger and rage.Children NEED to be protected.They say you only hurt the one's you love, but these children are not loved,they are just a free meal ticket for bad parents.
That saying "you only hurt the ones you love" is an excuse...how do you "love" someone by hurting them (and no, in this case, I am not talking about discipline or teaching a valuable lesson. This is about abuse)? There's no way you would hurt anyone you loved, in any way, shape, or form. At all.
@dianalcross I pray you will one day create a home for abused children, that way many will be saved from these disgusting "people" + vile abusers/excuse of a "parent". And I would love to support you and abused children in general.❤ That is a beautiful idea. I hope you being it to action one day.
I’m a 31 year old Latino/black male Bus Operator for MaBstoa (MTA) , and I wish I could do the same. I would of held him and told him she won’t hurt you anymore…and took him to McDonald’s and told him he could have anything and as much as he wanted
Especially in America. It's a deeply wounded society and worse happens to children bcoz of their culture of privacy. In Africa, we stay in the open space so helping a child going thru abuse is easier.sad
That really broke my heart I'm at a loss for words. He suffered so much and he was just a kid. The abuse he endured daily would break tough adults in prisons.
I stay in an apartment and I watch folks kids very closely. Yelling and fussing is one thing but I look to see like are they bruised up or very scared or really skinny. Call me nosey but I’m looking!! Too many kids slip through the cracks
I can't. I stayed next door to a lady whose daughter would scream, "Help me!" I called CPS immediately wasnt even trying to make it a secret. Mf yeah, I called. She moved away, of course, so im not too sure if anything else was done. I just couldn't have it on my conscience. Whenever she is, I pray she's well and out of harms way. Poor baby boy and his sister. Crazy his fate was sealed at the hands of what was supposed to be his mother. Rest in love, child.
I had a neighbor who was mean to her young son. She belittled him for wetting the bed, made fun of his stutter, etc., in front of everyone. Once I heard him yelling “No mommy, please don’t hit me” repeatedly, so I anonymously called the cops. They came and somehow she found out that I was the one who reported her. A couple of days later she sent her son over to write down my license plate number. Don’t know if that was supposed to be a scare tactic on her part or what. I got married and moved away a short time after that happened. This occurred 20 years ago and I still think about that child.
I'm glad you're calling out these horrible, neglectful neighbors as well. Whenever I heard a woman or a child or an animal being abused in my neighborhood, I always called authorities, even though my family tried to stop me a few times. Luckily, this degenerate nonsense has calmed down over the years.
How the hell could you KNOW children living near you are being mistreated and abused, and you say nothing?!?!? How is that even possible?? How could anyone turn a blind eye to the obvious abuse of children?? EVERYONE failed Daytwon and they should be ashamed of themselves. Smfh.
Not even gonna lie I blame CPS just as much.. can't tell you how many times I've heard a story where CPS was called on abusive parents, the signs blatantly ignored, the case closed, and the whole incident taken out on the kids in the form of even worse and often deadly violence. It's not right but I can see why that would make someone hesitate... We have to fuckin fix this shit, every damn side of it, from the bystanders to the system itself.
@@finn_in_the_bin5263im living under two adults and two kids who are being abused daily, he screams and the child is so abused ive called cps maybe 12 times and ive contemplated harming the adults at this point. What should i do
I called on a relative, left my name trying to save my nieces and they tried to come for me. The system is so broken it's beyond belief. If you call to report suspected child abuse or neglect because you know that's what it is ACS will do absolutely nothing. On the other hand if you're a parent and an anonymous tip comes in they will make an attempt to put you through all kinds of hell as well as your child(ren). I think this is the main reason people mind their business. Unfortunately my nieces continued to suffer but thankfully they are alive. With therapy and love hopefully their emotional wounds will heal.
Thanks for sharing...My parents are the Sanders and we were sharing memories of Daytwon and how he impacted our lives...We googled the case and this video appeared...Thanks for telling his story very well put together.
Thank you so much for the kind words and your comment! I know Daytwon was very happy in the care of your family while he was with you. I cant imagine how hard that is to think back on. May he always rest easy. I hope you and your family are well.
Even if I might be wrong if a child or adult is getting abused, it’s 100% worth it to make that call. In fact I’ve made calls in my 44yrs. I grew up in an abusive household myself , so being around abuse you really know the signs. Sometimes we can be wrong ,but go with your gut and stop turning a blind eye. Growing up in a mentally, physically abusive household and no one doing anything about it really messes up a child and even an adult’s. You feel like there’s no hope! So please call if you have a feeling or hear something and if your gut is saying this isn’t right it probably isn’t. My stepdad was the only dad in my life , but he was an alcoholic who was abused himself by his mother and that’s all he knew. No excuse ofc, but if someone stepped in and actually took us away I believe with all my heart he would’ve done anything to get the 6 of us back and possibly got sober. I seen his good side when he wasn’t drunk and he actually had a good heart under all that rage he had inside him… he’s gone now and he changed after we lost my brother in 2017, he ended up passing 2yrs later in 2019. This story really got my blood boiling to the point I feel sick! I have a son that’s autistic and these stories always get me the most. This poor baby was failed by way too many people and it really is upsetting hearing the people saying they knew all along…like wtf why didn’t you do anything!? Maybe he’d be here if the system didn’t fail this baby. His foster parents really sound like they was good people and my heart goes out to them, I can’t imagine how they feel. I really wish people would just do something. You can call anonymously so I just don’t understand because they sounded so sure in that news segment you showed us. Like I said I’d rather be wrong, than have this happen. That boy deserved better, that boy deserved the ones who grieved him , the foster parents. I know horror stories of foster parents but I think these ppl really wanted the best for him. RIP little one 🤍 Again, what great work you do here…telling stories of the voiceless. As I was saying I’ve been through some sh*tty stuff including SA and like I said I have a son with autism so I can really appreciate what you do. I think it’s why I’m so drawn to true crime. Keep up the great work my friend ❤
Mothers that do this should literally be put to death. You have woman ( like me ) that have hard time having kids, and when finally became a mom , KNEW my duty was to love and PROTECT my child. Sad so sad. Being street wise, I get the whole snitches get stitches, but in a cases of child abuse that should be out the door. Rip papito …
Same, my body didn’t wanna know til I was 35. Makes you sick these monsters just have to look at a d n they’re pregnant n then they abuse these beautiful innocent babies my heart is so heavy at the moment for all these kids 💔
"Snitches get stitches" simply does not apply in the case of child harm. It's a known law in prison that if you're found out to have harmed a child, you are finished.
This makes me sick! I adopted 5 children from the county. All adults now & loved as they are ours.I'm so sorry for the foster parents & the other children my God bless them. Baby boy RIP Angel
@@bethmurrow5626 same here, I have this girl on my Facebook who I know from where I live and my god she has six children all under ten , every single one of them has been removed from her care about a week ago I saw a pic of her with a huge belly and thought NO…like surely not …could it be a old pic lol but nope only yesterday she’s posting that she’s in labour with a pic of her in the hopsital etc with a caption of (get ready )lol… “MY CHILDREN ,MY WORLD” I kid you not ! How she can believe its okay to carry on popping out these poor , innocent children one after the other ,despite the fact she can’t raise any of them herself I will NEVER understand😢
these worker don’t have spiritual insight to make the right decisions regarding the best interest of the child or the children be taken out the home and place right back to the hell hold and nothing ever changes because once you abuse your child it always continues…I spoke with child that was in-an abusive home mental and physical abuse and it was reported and nothing was done … just my opinion the parents don’t want the children and DCF just rather keep them there with their abuser until tragedy happens I hear on news and even in my town… sad case 😢I pray to God that he remove these heartless caseworkers from these positions and place them in correctional institutions to work with inmates. They don’t have a heart for human life. The blood of these innocent children is on their hands. God 👀y’all. Repent and remove yourself from these positions and find another job what you love doing. Not with children God forbid 😢😢😢😢I’m so sorry that happened to this precious little angel 😇 something has changed in the system. They require an college degree to get these positions and a heartless person to make home visits and can’t make proper decisions regarding humanitarian matters.. Education is no way comparable to God Wisdom and his spiritual insight to have a love for others.❤Rip precious little baby boy🙏
I can say this living in the hood you see a lot of abuse. I have had to make a phone call in the past on someone I knew but the kids were in a bad situation. I struggled with what was right . The kids were removed. We have to do what's right for these precious kids!!! STOP CHILD ABUSE!!!
well now they can at least live until they are 18 when they age out of foster care and get thrown onto the streets homeless where they become drug addicts and take up crime and become their parents
That is one thing about NYC, people love to mind their business. This is crazy. Can you do the story on the woman who was SA'ed outside a housing project. Everyone heard but NO ONE called 911. That's an urban tale that i heard as a child but the way you're telling this story, I know it has to be true.
I know a few of those I'll be touching on. Some of these cases are just unbelievable. All cases i'd learned about ages ago but when you really delve in the details will drive you nuts.
@@EvilIntentions I bet , I’ve been watching true crime since I was a kid when unsolved mysteries came out ( yes I’m old af I just turned 44yrs old April 7th ) and I know so many of them have to take breaks after doing the research on these cases and you become all consumed and some say they see stuff they can’t or won’t show here on youtube bc it’s so bad. I’ve seen a-lot,but idk if I could handle doing this!? Keep speaking up for the voiceless,but take care of yourself my friend. Thanks for all you do ❤
i think you’re referring to the case of Kitty Genovese, she was attacked outside of her apartment complex in NYC and many of her neighbors reported hearing her crying for help but no one called for help, because of this her attacker had actually come back a second time and continued his attack on her…
This story is pre-social media...where did she find the time to keep meeting new men and birthing new babies? Young man, you tell one hell of a story. Im happy to have found your channel.
This is unimaginable. I am in tears right now. I'm furious with child protection and grandparents. I have guardianship of my grandchildren. I love them as much as I love their mom. How can someone hurt a child. They are so precious. Children are truly a gift from God and a Blessing.
So sad. The system is messed up and the parents of the abused and neglected children are so good at telling lies and buying time. I’ve called the police and child protective services before and each time nothing is done. I tried to follow up with them and they are beyond rude and not wanting to help. I’m sure it’s not always the case BUT just what I’ve experienced 1st hand in Chicago….
Same here! I have four kids and I always say something when I see something because I couldn’t live with the thought of knowing and not acting. CPS doesn’t give af about bad parents they only harass folks who legitimately try their best. They give too many chances to people who are undeserving and unworthy of caring for a pet let alone a defenseless child🥺
Me too. I made a call to CPS about a little boy and not much was done....CPS needs a overhaul , better training as it could made a difference..laws need to be changed .
@@lisabeaver2919 i was at an Aldi, and heard all this wailing coming from the back of the store. I went beck there, only to discover a mom slapping this little boy over and over. I pleaded with her to stop the abuse. To which she told me to F*ck off. And so I went to an attendant at an aisle who called the manager. Both manager and I went back to the situation. So i said he'd better call the police, which he didn't, saying that it was a familial situation and he didn't want to touch it. and so, i called the police. but by the time they arrived, the mom had rushed out of the store. so, the only thing I had left to do was give the police the description of the mom and child. However, I don't know if the incident was seen to. Anyway, that is what happened. To this day, i wonder if the police did anything at all! Pretty horrific situation, never the less!
Thank you for talking about Daytwon. As horrible as it was to hear, he shouldnt be forgotten. His life should have been filled with happiness. It wasnt. The least we should do is remember his story and all learn the lesson - if you see a child starving, timid and bruised TELL SOMEONE.
I've never experienced a neighbor like this but if I ever do I'm going to jail for assault because I can't just sit back while ik a child is dying lil by lil everyday
This literally could've been me as I was in a foster home where I was constantly getting beatings for doing nothing. The foster mother's biological son would always blame me for things, and I'd always get beatings. There was one beating, as an 8 year old, I got beat so hard that she broke a wooden broom on my right shin...leaving a laceration that's a scar. And she also, in another beating, beat a ring stuck to my finger on my right hand. I eventually got the ring unstuck and taken off finger, which also left a scar. Eventually, my biological family would take me out of there. However, I resent my biological family because I was the only one of my siblings to be placed in foster home, which was in my eyes a clear indication of me being singled out. They've always treated (and still do treat) me like an outcast, which is why I don't be around them.
Stay the hell out of your bio family. They are not your true family in Buddhism belief. They are just a mean for you to come into this world. True family will love you unconditionally.
and, you've been stronger now after the horror. and a salute to you, who will never repeat what you went through. because of the suffering you had to experience, you'll refuse to pass on to others. and, that my friend is a Strength of character. and proof of a beautiful soul! don't ever forget that.
I love the work you do and the way you do it. Your not looking for recognition for yourself like many who do this......Your concern over this ONGOING CHILD MURDERING is Genuine!!!! Thank you for your help and work.
Like You...I Have A Major Issue With People Who Didn't Do Anything But Knew Or Suspected Something When It Was All Said And Done. These People Deserve To Be Charged Also...Even If It's Just A $500 Fine. I Agree With The Foster Mother...They Should Be Able To Sue TF Out Of Our Child Protection System...
Seroously. The child services system should be the one system with ZERO issues being transparent, as it involves the wellbeing of these young innocent babies. They use so many excuses and try to cover themselves so much. Despicable shit, really.
Thank you so much for covering their stories. It isn't sensationalized that, some times, happen when death is concerned. We need a reminder that we are more powerful. Each of us are responsible for lives regardless if we want to be or not.
Aww man this story had me crying 😢😢 this is so crazy. I also have a child with a developmental disability he is so joyful and amazing.I make sure I’m involved in activities especially at daycare so he never feels left out.Having him also inspired me to work with kids that have disabilities because they’re often overlooked , Ignored & some are being neglected 💔💔💔
Your child is lucky to have you as a mum im sure hefeels loved & protected may god bless your family asfir who ever hurts kills a childh hooe they go to hell 😢😢😢😢
I have a sister with disabilities. I can't bear the woke ideology as they never stand up for disabled people. They are our most vulnerable and have so much to teach us, about innocence, humility and simplicity. In Ireland we call a disabled child leanbh Dia, which means God's child.
Listening to these stories makes me pray that if im a neighbor to an abused child that I'm able to help before it's too late. Like I genuinely don't know what I'll do if the cops came next door and told me a young kid died and the parents/gurdians caused it. Like there would be so much guilt and shame in my heart for years afterwards.
As a child of abuse, I found out as an adult how many people in our community thought something was wrong about my situation and never said anything. If you see something, say something. I wish someone would have, maybe it wouldn't have been years of the grooming and abuse then
I understand the anger you feel! The fact we’ve strayed so far from community hurts.. these babies are dying more and more and when will people wake up and stop the next child from being abused and killed by these evil ass people 😔🤬 being a mother I’d have no with trading my Life just for these babies to be able to live happily, and protected 😔 I have a teenage son with autism and Intellectual Disabilities and I couldn’t imagine someone treating my son this way! She shouldn’t be considered a mother at all!
My heart goes out to this little boy and all of the other poor kids out there who are going through this and who lost their lives to sick minded adults! May God watch over them all ways.
101K subs, wow, Congrats! We can still see this when we're out and about, kids looking tense, walking uptight, dark circles around their eyes, you can see the fear and suffering in their eyes. why rush him to the hospital?? wow, poor baby, smdh
Neighbors heard me crying, I don't know where I would be if it weren't for someone who called child welfare to take me away from an abusive home when I was still an infant. I was taken in by my step mom after that , she raised my like her own. I was one of the lucky ones. Saying something anything can save a life.
Ive only recently found your channel. You are covering cases that I haven't heard of. It's clear that you spend a lot of time on your research. I just don't understand why neighbours say nothing and children are consistently being let down by a flawed system. This also happens here in the UK.
I agree 200 percent why didn’t anyone say anything!??? Report anyone anytime,,REPORT,,REPORT,, go and talk to the cops, hotline’s,, child services,, anyone that can and will help… This baby is with God now and is running and playing , also being told 3/4/100 times a day how handsome and loved he is!!!
it's so sad that people are reluctant to speak out and call for help in these cases. a lot of times it comes from a mindset of "not my place to interfere" and many other ideas such as not wanting to "momshame" or fear of retaliation or fear of making a child's situation worse. at the same time, there are many instances of people alerting the proper authorities and nothing being done either way. i feel like it's a lose-lose situation for many people. those who don't help are complacent. those who do help (and nothing comes of it) risk making a situation worse for a child. my perspective is to speak up if you see something like this. bystander syndrome kills so many people
I cried watching this 🥺🥺 children are so unprotected. They have no resources,& no real choices in life and I hate that they have to go through this 😰😰 R.I.P. Daytwon,& that mother is SCUM
The neighbors should be held accountable too 😢 I feel for all kids but especially the ones with special needs 😢. You’re a great storyteller but such a sad story
Anyone who knows of harm or abuse or neglect, especially of a child, yet stay silent, or doesn’t do anything to try and help them are just as guilty as the perpetrator in my opinion. If you know something, for Gods sake, say something you may be the only voice that poor innocent child has, but don’t pretend to care after it is too late💛💛💛
I really wish you could prosecute people like that - the ones that seemed to know everything once the cameras are there and the kids are already dead. There's no excuse for not stepping in to save children. They're all, everyone that knew and did nothing, are pieces of absolute f*cking sh*t!!!!
People you have to speak up and get involved! All these kids are too young and innocent to be dying like this when someone could have done something! Rest in Paradise young prince 👑!
It’s heartbreaking and i send my condolences to the family. I live in a city and i remember helping some teens who were fighting/ being jumped. I welcomed them into my home to help ( as one of the kids was laced. I’m my doing so another kid attempted to steal my cell phone. The kid that was laced looked her dead in the eyes and told her to put it down and don’t do that! He said she is trying to help us. I’ll never forget that moment. But i understand why folks mind their business, because sometimes it harms you. I would help over and over again if i could. It’s sad and we have to get back to community.
If the state was fully aware of the Elisa Azquierdo case and took action immediately after it happened, Daytwon Bennett would’ve still been alive. Daytwon was about 12 years my junior. He would be about the same age as American Idol legend Joshua Ledet from the series’ 11th season, the same American Idol season as my idol Jessica Sanchez, who was born the year of Elisa’s murder.
One can make anonymous reports,so there's zero excuse for those neighbors !! I wonder if they enjoyed the drama that came with hearing that daily abuse ? It sure sounds like it !
F’g crazy shit. I know that violence should never be used but those people who knew what was going on or suspected it I’d want to give them a rapping around the eardrums.
Daytwon was so precious! My daughter and her husband tried for years to conceive a child, to no avail. Then, this monstrous "mother" shoots a child out every, single year AND doesn't even want them?? It's just insane! CPS f*cked up again!
Thank you for remembering these cases and bringing them out once more. We all need to know this. We all need to watch out for these sweet children. It is never ok to sit by and not do anything because you think it's not your business. Think about what these children are feeling. When a little love can go a long way, so can speaking up. It breaks my heart. And I can tell it breaks yours as well. You are doing good work keeping these cases in the media. We cannot forget the victims of the past. There will never be progress if we don't make it happen.
The neighbors should be held accountable as well bc There’s no way the don’t hear something and don’t see these kids and see bruising on them. As that women said she saw and heard everything and did NOTHING it’s disgusting and heart breaking that he could be alive today if someone would of just done something. I could never sit and listen or see any child being treated like that. Smh the system isn’t getting better it’s getting worse.
The way everyone describes the little angel makes me sick why didn’t they call the police what is wrong with people where is their mercy for god sakes?
A promise to all the children out there in the world from me. If I so much as feel a slight discomfort in the way a child cries or a parent is yelling at their child, and I hear it, I'm calling the cops. Point blank and period. I'm sick of this s#i*! It stops with US, people that are aware of these situations. We have all seen too much to turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to their crying pleas for help. I feel like coming out of my skin with rage when I hear and see these things. From these stories on this channel to the Turmpine children's case and all others in between. It STOPS with all of us that are old enough to respond to these situations. If something doesn't seem right or feel right. CALL!! If a child looks too skinny, CALL!! It can save a life. We don't know. It can be the difference between life and death. For every child that had their innocent, precious lives taken through these senseless act, are with God in heaven, living an everlasting, joyful life. #Fight #Thegoodfight #Forhelplesschildren
So very sad and thank you for suffering thru the retelling of such an unbelievable existence for this boy. I pray for them and for you because it hurts them and it hurts you too.
Absolutely right here abuse, they had a children screaming and crying for help and they don’t do a damn thing but when a child is get killed then they want to speak out. That’s so damn sad my God.
I remember calling the cops on my upstairs neighbors years ago. I heard the father beating his child and then threw her across the apartment I heard her land! The cops came, then they took pics of the apartment and arrested the mom and dad. They never moved back in. I’m glad I said something.

You definitely saved their lives. Thank you. Beautiful heart. Sometimes, you have to say something no matter what. An unselfish act. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@hydrangeas_lover ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s good. Usually LE does nothing or CPS doesn’t pay attention and then like here, just keep sending the kid back. Arrests are a big deal. Good for you!
Bless you for saying something. Mad respect!!!
Why do people hurt children in ANY kind of way? Physical, starvation, sexual, verbal, and emotional 😢
Kids were born and kept for the welfare benefits. Most prison inmates had a egg donor like this awful woman who beat Daytwon. Refusing to call her a mother- she's just an egg donor.
Some people hate children fr fr and the fact that they cant fight back its all a form of control.
There's some evil people out there.
Agreed, if you h@te kids, DON'T HAVE THEM. If you need a paycheck, get a job.

Stop "minding your business." When a child is being harmed, IT IS YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

THIS is the comment! Exactly!!!
Agreed!
EXACTLY THE HELL‼️‼️‼️‼️😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

That baby eye is closed in that picture and he's so strong with that smile on his face praying for this baby.
I don’t care, my kids, your kids, their kids, his kids. I’m watching out for them! Rest in p eace Daytwan💔🕊️

Agreed 👍
💯💯❤❤
Exactly.
Yes that's how's it's got to be one day I saw tall men pinching n twisted a kids arma..I tolldhey stop that inside a Walmart ,he look at me trying to hit me then he mellow down when he saw people coming our way he just away ,now I regret it should call the cops..I know for a fact that man was gonna beat that kid
I was today years old when I found out my Aunt Rosie and Uncle Albert were foster parents, but makes so much sense knowing how much of nurturing human beings they are and how much they love their family. Such a tragedy what happened to this young man.
Had to ask my mom about this and she said my Aunt and Uncle really fought to keep Daytwon Bennett under their care but unfortunately were unlucky. They fought, wrote letters & they told the judge “if you send him she going to hurt him,” but no one listened to them. R.I.P Daytwon Bennett
❤❤❤❤
That breaks my heart knowing the system failed him. God bless your aunt and uncle for doing God's work.
This little man had a chance to be loved by your Aunt and Uncle, the system failed him, may he rest in peace, and may God continue to bless your family.
I'm sorry 😔
Omg thats so god bless ur aunti and uncle ❤🙏💔
I don't understand why the neighbours kept quiet when that poor baby was suffering so badly. It breaks my heart.
That one lady seemed like she saw him regularly..smiling talking bout he would jus be in underwear an crying smh those camera ppl shoulda asked her why, why didn’t you call for him?
3:16 THIS is what happens if you do something. Thats why "nothing was done".

@@RaquelSantos-qx2st wow
I would have called police everytime I would have heard a child cry cps don't do squat maybe calling police everytime could have saved him
I had to walk away from my family because somehow there’s child abuse and sexual abuse since I was a kid and they brush it under the rug. I will forever advocate for kids. Rest easy papito❤
Child abuse has come to light in my family just recently. Myself and 2 family members also abused by the same person. I wanted to go to the police but the other two want to just forget about it. Which means he gets away with it. It's historical but he still deserves to pay for ruining our lives
I was abused, and my parents have apologized and have made up for it exponentially. It took a lot for them to admit it, but after they did, I was able to forgive them. I broke the cycle and have never and will never abuse or harm any of my children.
@@sharonwhite6126don’t keep quiet. I did, until I couldn’t. By the time I came forward, he had moved on to my little cousin as well. When our older cousin, the little cousin and I talked, she knew she wasn’t alone and though I should’ve been her hero she became mine. She stood up for us, he admitted he was gonna go for my little sister next, and still he got a slap on the wrist, but people now know he is a monster!
Dont let someone else’s fear, keep you in fear. Go make a statement, make your voice heard, tell your story, so others know what kind of creep that person is. Not only will YOU feel better, but you taking that first step may be what the others NEED! Maybe they need a leader because they still fear that person.
They will NEVER forget, it’s almost impossible to do so. And telling doesn’t make it go away, but I promise it COULD start the healing process….which WILL get worse, before it gets better.
My other cousin she SA me as a child and she still won’t admit it, even though she recently got caught SA her patients. Others wouldn’t come forward but making that report helped me, it helped me start to heal something I suppressed because I was made to believe “girls don’t do that to other girls”
@coolColdchica I am very sorry that sexual abuse + child abuse ran rampant in your own "family" household, and at such a young age. You did not deserve that. Thank you for advocating for children ❤ this has to stop
@@rileycoyote8275I'm glad you held your parents accountable and the took the necessary steps of accountability to actually change. Mine won't see it that way as I am their scapegoat child, but that's not my problem. We give them a chance to change, and they keep repeating their behavior. I'm glad your parents decided to remove the end of abusive cycles. God bless you abundantly.
youre right about the neighbours knowing everything only when the cameras show up. I wish people would stop saying "it isn't my business" when someone is being abused. It makes me so mad. My God.
It just makes NO SENSE to me! People have this idea that they don't "want any issues" since they live there. Okay, so when the kid is dead whats changed? Those issues vanish? There still can't be people who retaliate or have an issue with you talking on camera? Its like the second the news breaks everyone has this need to feel seen ans heard all the sudden. I saw a video on witness of Elisa Izquierdo. She didn't want her face shown, and the first thing she said is "I haven't been sleeping right since it happened.". She also mentions how every night she should hear her being abused she was thankful when it ended because she could finally get some sleep. The fact that anyone would say that and not hear themselves boggles my mind. Some people are so disappointing.
@@EvilIntentions Applauding this comment so damn TRUE
@CJ @Evil Intentions I AGREE WITH U SIST💫R and Brother! Thank u for keeping these little angels memories alive and makjng their stories be heard!
angels gone 2 soon.
AND ON THE FLIPSIDE EQUALLY HORRIBLE THERE ARE FAMILIES BEING DRAGGED THRU THE SYSTEM THAT DONT BELONG THERE.
WHILE SHIT LIKE THIS IS GOING ON AS LONG AS THE SYSTEMIC PIGS KEEP HARASSING THE DECENT FAMILIES THESE MONSTERS GET AWAY WITH THIS AHIT WHILE THEY TERRORIZE GOOD PPL AND REMOVE KIDS FROM HOMES WHERE THEY GET KILLED IN THE SYSTEM.
WE NEED TO RISE UP.
WHO IS WITH ME?

It's so sickening. They didn't care enough to speak up when the children were alive and being abused. But once they're dead and these bystanders have a camera in their face...they're telling everything. As if they want to clear their conscience or something. Look what happened to Devante Hart and his siblings. One of the neighbors had the nerve to say she didn't report the abuse because her husband told her "to stay out of it". I was so angry.
The foster parents are the ones who truly cared for him.
Unfortunately that’s seems to be a common scenario. Many foster parents will continually call DCFs or PD bc they are terrified of what the child, they’ve cared for and grown to love, may be going through after being returned to the bio fam only to be told “it isn’t your business” or “everything is fine or they would not have been returned to the parent(s).” Then the child ends up not being seen in months or they actually make it to the hospital only to be DOA or pass away shortly thereafter. This whole notion of reuniting family being the end goal has always seemed illogical to me, especially when they have been reported multiple times and the child(ren) are then finally removed and actually get put into a loving home where they truly begin to flourish because they are getting enough to eat, love and care so they feel safe, being kept clean, etc., then adults who are supposed to be ensuring the childs welfare stays priority one, all drop the ball from the parents and everyone involved on the state’s payroll.
17 years??!! And you are right the neighbors are so quick to get their time on camera when the news is there but want to "mind their business" when the actual crime is being committed.
Yep, always. No action. All words.
@@EvilIntentions 😢
From Uk. Once I worked at a national charity as an administrator. They had been receiving calls from a child who would not leave names and details. I was only working there for 3 days when the child phoned. To cut a long story short it was due to that call I took the child was rescued. What really shocked me was that the paediatrician, counsellor and social worker who had received many calls from the child did not know how to gain her trust. I was forthright with them and pointed out that if they cant communicate with vulnerable children without referencing some textbook definition of how to go about it, the only thing they were protecting was their own jobs.
@@outoforbit- Thank you, Kathleen ! The world needs a million or so women like you, to step in . Keep up the good work !
@@JulieSevelson-nb9nj thanks Julie, I pray alot for the children.
I’m a teacher and taught in the Bronx for years. I have called CPS a few times. I refuse to see a child be neglected and abused and sit by and do nothing. Not just because I am mandated, but because those kids become mine when they’re with me.
Even animals know to take care of their young. These "parents" are the lowest of all life forms...
And look at how we treat animals. They're slaves and no one thinks anything of it, do they? Because chickie nuggies are important.

@@MaynardsSpaceship exactly, I'm glad I choose to have nothing to do with anything that causes pain and suffering to animals .

@@JulieSevelson-nb9nj yes that's the truth,same here in the UK,I don't love all my fellow human beings,only the very few that are genuine and that I know,
I grew up abused by a mother who hated me.The circle of violence and abuse needs to be broken, I had only one child who never in her life was harmed by me and as I grew older I always hoped to start a home for abused kids, a place where they could grow up safe and loved and never have to feel the brunt of their parent's anger and rage.Children NEED to be protected.They say you only hurt the one's you love, but these children are not loved,they are just a free meal ticket for bad parents.
#BabiesForBenefits.
I wish you the best! You are not alone.
That saying "you only hurt the ones you love" is an excuse...how do you "love" someone by hurting them (and no, in this case, I am not talking about discipline or teaching a valuable lesson. This is about abuse)? There's no way you would hurt anyone you loved, in any way, shape, or form. At all.
@dianalcross I pray you will one day create a home for abused children, that way many will be saved from these disgusting "people" + vile abusers/excuse of a "parent". And I would love to support you and abused children in general.❤ That is a beautiful idea. I hope you being it to action one day.
That picture of him...looks like he was happy for a second...💔
Poor sweet, boy...
Children are so innocent. They forget being mistreated so easily. Poor child.
I'm willing to bet it was taken while he was with the foster parents.
They are NOT parents! Merely…..Cowards
That picture of the so called mother tho....she looks demonic
I was going to say the same - it breaks my heart when we hear how old this sweet child would have been now
Look at his little face, that beautiful smile. The little angel 😢 it’s absolutely heartbreaking I can’t bear it
I am 70 years old and the story of this little angel made me cry, I wish I could hold this child and show him the love he deserved🙏🙏
you should have been given a heart. But thank you for the feelings of care and compassion.❤

And oh so REAL😡
Especially in America. It's a deeply wounded society and worse happens to children bcoz of their culture of privacy. In Africa, we stay in the open space so helping a child going thru abuse is easier.sad
Evil among babies and children is really heartbreaking
That really broke my heart I'm at a loss for words. He suffered so much and he was just a kid. The abuse he endured daily would break tough adults in prisons.
Seriously. Torture with no end in sight. Most of these people do their bid and and come and out and never even went to therapy. It's insane.
I stay in an apartment and I watch folks kids very closely. Yelling and fussing is one thing but I look to see like are they bruised up or very scared or really skinny. Call me nosey but I’m looking!! Too many kids slip through the cracks
GOOD! Wish everyone was like that.
I’d expose the monsters!
These babies need protection of the highest!
Watch from a distance, you never know you might be the only one paying close attention to a particular kid, and make a difference to their life.
❤
Amen, thank you for keeping an eye out for the babies. We’ve GOT to protect them at all costs.
I can't. I stayed next door to a lady whose daughter would scream, "Help me!" I called CPS immediately wasnt even trying to make it a secret. Mf yeah, I called. She moved away, of course, so im not too sure if anything else was done. I just couldn't have it on my conscience. Whenever she is, I pray she's well and out of harms way. Poor baby boy and his sister. Crazy his fate was sealed at the hands of what was supposed to be his mother. Rest in love, child.
Another sad outcome for a situation that could have been stopped before it was too late. We should all try and speak up when we can for someone else.
Absolutely. It can end so tragically. Every minute counts.

I had a neighbor who was mean to her young son. She belittled him for wetting the bed, made fun of his stutter, etc., in front of everyone.
Once I heard him yelling “No mommy, please don’t hit me” repeatedly, so I anonymously called the cops. They came and somehow she found out that I was the one who reported her. A couple of days later she sent her son over to write down my license plate number. Don’t know if that was supposed to be a scare tactic on her part or what. I got married and moved away a short time after that happened.
This occurred 20 years ago and I still think about that child.
He was sooooo adorable :( 💔
😢right
Beautiful little boy.
I'm glad you're calling out these horrible, neglectful neighbors as well. Whenever I heard a woman or a child or an animal being abused in my neighborhood, I always called authorities, even though my family tried to stop me a few times. Luckily, this degenerate nonsense has calmed down over the years.
He’s so stinking cute . How could you hurt this precious baby ??? 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
How the hell could you KNOW children living near you are being mistreated and abused, and you say nothing?!?!? How is that even possible?? How could anyone turn a blind eye to the obvious abuse of children?? EVERYONE failed Daytwon and they should be ashamed of themselves. Smfh.
Hear you loud and clear. Peace
Not even gonna lie I blame CPS just as much.. can't tell you how many times I've heard a story where CPS was called on abusive parents, the signs blatantly ignored, the case closed, and the whole incident taken out on the kids in the form of even worse and often deadly violence. It's not right but I can see why that would make someone hesitate... We have to fuckin fix this shit, every damn side of it, from the bystanders to the system itself.
The fact they have the guts to be on tv and say they saw everything… how embarrassing.
@@finn_in_the_bin5263im living under two adults and two kids who are being abused daily, he screams and the child is so abused ive called cps maybe 12 times and ive contemplated harming the adults at this point. What should i do
This poor little boy didn't deserve this. He DESERVED TO LIVE A GOOD AND LOVING LIFE. May Daytwon Bennett rest in peace.
I called on a relative, left my name trying to save my nieces and they tried to come for me. The system is so broken it's beyond belief. If you call to report suspected child abuse or neglect because you know that's what it is ACS will do absolutely nothing. On the other hand if you're a parent and an anonymous tip comes in they will make an attempt to put you through all kinds of hell as well as your child(ren). I think this is the main reason people mind their business. Unfortunately my nieces continued to suffer but thankfully they are alive. With therapy and love hopefully their emotional wounds will heal.
What about calling the police and Child help USA ? Can't hurt. It's wonderful that you did step in and try ! Please never give up .
Yes sometimes when you call they don’t believe you . The system is trash
I wouldn’t even need to think about calling the authorities! I can’t imagine what these poor abused children went through. 😭
Poor baby boy. He looked so precious. 💔
Thanks for sharing...My parents are the Sanders and we were sharing memories of Daytwon and how he impacted our lives...We googled the case and this video appeared...Thanks for telling his story very well put together.
Thank you so much for the kind words and your comment! I know Daytwon was very happy in the care of your family while he was with you. I cant imagine how hard that is to think back on. May he always rest easy. I hope you and your family are well.
Even if I might be wrong if a child or adult is getting abused, it’s 100% worth it to make that call. In fact I’ve made calls in my 44yrs. I grew up in an abusive household myself , so being around abuse you really know the signs. Sometimes we can be wrong ,but go with your gut and stop turning a blind eye. Growing up in a mentally, physically abusive household and no one doing anything about it really messes up a child and even an adult’s. You feel like there’s no hope! So please call if you have a feeling or hear something and if your gut is saying this isn’t right it probably isn’t. My stepdad was the only dad in my life , but he was an alcoholic who was abused himself by his mother and that’s all he knew. No excuse ofc, but if someone stepped in and actually took us away I believe with all my heart he would’ve done anything to get the 6 of us back and possibly got sober. I seen his good side when he wasn’t drunk and he actually had a good heart under all that rage he had inside him… he’s gone now and he changed after we lost my brother in 2017, he ended up passing 2yrs later in 2019.
This story really got my blood boiling to the point I feel sick! I have a son that’s autistic and these stories always get me the most. This poor baby was failed by way too many people and it really is upsetting hearing the people saying they knew all along…like wtf why didn’t you do anything!? Maybe he’d be here if the system didn’t fail this baby. His foster parents really sound like they was good people and my heart goes out to them, I can’t imagine how they feel. I really wish people would just do something. You can call anonymously so I just don’t understand because they sounded so sure in that news segment you showed us. Like I said I’d rather be wrong, than have this happen. That boy deserved better, that boy deserved the ones who grieved him , the foster parents. I know horror stories of foster parents but I think these ppl really wanted the best for him. RIP little one 🤍
Again, what great work you do here…telling stories of the voiceless. As I was saying I’ve been through some sh*tty stuff including SA and like I said I have a son with autism so I can really appreciate what you do. I think it’s why I’m so drawn to true crime. Keep up the great work my friend ❤
I'd as a victim of child abuse and having to be placed in multiple foster homes yes you best to believe I am going to defend that child!!!!
Mothers that do this should literally be put to death. You have woman ( like me ) that have hard time having kids, and when finally became a mom , KNEW my duty was to love and PROTECT my child. Sad so sad. Being street wise, I get the whole snitches get stitches, but in a cases of child abuse that should be out the door. Rip papito …
Exactly 🤌🤌🤌‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Same, my body didn’t wanna know til I was 35. Makes you sick these monsters just have to look at a d n they’re pregnant n then they abuse these beautiful innocent babies my heart is so heavy at the moment for all these kids 💔
"Snitches get stitches" simply does not apply in the case of child harm. It's a known law in prison that if you're found out to have harmed a child, you are finished.
@@MaynardsSpaceship it shouldn't apply to anything. That's why all these numerous shootings go unsolved. Nobody knows anything. Smh
If you look at her picture you can see she was demon infested….it’s sad he was taken away from the foster parents

This makes me sick! I adopted 5 children from the county. All adults now & loved as they are ours.I'm so sorry for the foster parents & the other children my God bless them. Baby boy RIP Angel
Neighbors turning a blind-eye and incompetent case workers is a perfect disaster for these tragedies to continue happening.

these worker don’t have spiritual insight to make the right decisions regarding the best interest of the child or the children be taken out the home and place right back to the hell hold and nothing ever changes because once you abuse your child it always continues…I spoke with child that was in-an abusive home mental and physical abuse and it was reported and nothing was done … just my opinion the parents don’t want the children and DCF just rather keep them there with their abuser until tragedy happens I hear on news and even in my town… sad case 😢I pray to God that he remove these heartless caseworkers from these positions and place them in correctional institutions to work with inmates. They don’t have a heart for human life. The blood of these innocent children is on their hands. God 👀y’all. Repent and remove yourself from these positions and find another job what you love doing. Not with children God forbid 😢😢😢😢I’m so sorry that happened to this precious little angel 😇 something has changed in the system.

Education is no way comparable to God Wisdom and his spiritual insight to have a love for others.❤Rip precious little baby boy🙏
I can say this living in the hood you see a lot of abuse. I have had to make a phone call in the past on someone I knew but the kids were in a bad situation. I struggled with what was right . The kids were removed. We have to do what's right for these precious kids!!! STOP CHILD ABUSE!!!
well now they can at least live until they are 18 when they age out of foster care and get thrown onto the streets homeless where they become drug addicts and take up crime and become their parents
That is one thing about NYC, people love to mind their business. This is crazy. Can you do the story on the woman who was SA'ed outside a housing project. Everyone heard but NO ONE called 911. That's an urban tale that i heard as a child but the way you're telling this story, I know it has to be true.

Same here! I have four kids and I always say something when I see something because I couldn’t live with the thought of knowing and not acting. CPS doesn’t give af about bad parents they only harass folks who legitimately try their best. They give too many chances to people who are undeserving and unworthy of caring for a pet let alone a defenseless child🥺

just sad to watch my so heartbreaking. thanks for sharing.
I've never experienced a neighbor like this but if I ever do I'm going to jail for assault because I can't just sit back while ik a child is dying lil by lil everyday
Absolutely heartbreaking. All that pain hiding behind such a happy beautiful smile
This literally could've been me as I was in a foster home where I was constantly getting beatings for doing nothing. The foster mother's biological son would always blame me for things, and I'd always get beatings. There was one beating, as an 8 year old, I got beat so hard that she broke a wooden broom on my right shin...leaving a laceration that's a scar. And she also, in another beating, beat a ring stuck to my finger on my right hand. I eventually got the ring unstuck and taken off finger, which also left a scar. Eventually, my biological family would take me out of there. However, I resent my biological family because I was the only one of my siblings to be placed in foster home, which was in my eyes a clear indication of me being singled out. They've always treated (and still do treat) me like an outcast, which is why I don't be around them.
you also deserving of a heart, and so, I give you mine! ❤
Stay the hell out of your bio family. They are not your true family in Buddhism belief. They are just a mean for you to come into this world. True family will love you unconditionally.
I’m sorry ❤️
and, you've been stronger now after the horror. and a salute to you, who will never repeat what you went through. because of the suffering you had to experience, you'll refuse to pass on to others. and, that my friend is a Strength of character. and proof of a beautiful soul! don't ever forget that.
I'm sorry you went through that growing up. But God brought you through. U R A SURVIVOR.❤
I love the work you do and the way you do it. Your not looking for recognition for yourself like many who do this......Your concern over this ONGOING CHILD MURDERING is Genuine!!!! Thank you for your help and work.
Like You...I Have A Major Issue With People Who Didn't Do Anything But Knew Or Suspected Something When It Was All Said And Done. These People Deserve To Be Charged Also...Even If It's Just A $500 Fine.
I Agree With The Foster Mother...They Should Be Able To Sue TF Out Of Our Child Protection System...
Seroously. The child services system should be the one system with ZERO issues being transparent, as it involves the wellbeing of these young innocent babies. They use so many excuses and try to cover themselves so much. Despicable shit, really.
If you hear a child being abused and you don’t do anything you are just as bad as the person doing it….
#protectallourchildren
I've called cps on an abusive parent, but cps did nothing. The child is now grown with mental issues.
Thank you so much for covering their stories. It isn't sensationalized that, some times, happen when death is concerned. We need a reminder that we are more powerful. Each of us are responsible for lives regardless if we want to be or not.
Yes,the foster parents should have been allowed to adopt the toddler !!
U RIGHT MAN PEACE AND ❤ FROM A SURIVIOR FROM Dublin IRELAND
Aww man this story had me crying 😢😢 this is so crazy. I also have a child with a developmental disability he is so joyful and amazing.I make sure I’m involved in activities especially at daycare so he never feels left out.Having him also inspired me to work with kids that have disabilities because they’re often overlooked , Ignored & some are being neglected 💔💔💔
Your child is lucky to have you as a mum im sure hefeels loved & protected may god bless your family asfir who ever hurts kills a childh hooe they go to hell 😢😢😢😢
I have a sister with disabilities. I can't bear the woke ideology as they never stand up for disabled people. They are our most vulnerable and have so much to teach us, about innocence, humility and simplicity. In Ireland we call a disabled child leanbh Dia, which means God's child.
Good for you Bianca. Your little boy sure knows he is loved.🕊🇦🇺
Thanks for bringing attention to these cases and nudging folks to have a conscience. These witnesses are inhuman as well, so are the case workers.
The city that never speaks ...Anger and sadness at the same time...Rest in Peace little one🕊️🙏💔
Listening to these stories makes me pray that if im a neighbor to an abused child that I'm able to help before it's too late. Like I genuinely don't know what I'll do if the cops came next door and told me a young kid died and the parents/gurdians caused it. Like there would be so much guilt and shame in my heart for years afterwards.
My prayers are with you for doing this type of work because I haven’t stopped crying watching your videos 🙏🏽
Thank you for that, i appreciate the support always!
As a child of abuse, I found out as an adult how many people in our community thought something was wrong about my situation and never said anything. If you see something, say something. I wish someone would have, maybe it wouldn't have been years of the grooming and abuse then
I understand the anger you feel! The fact we’ve strayed so far from community hurts.. these babies are dying more and more and when will people wake up and stop the next child from being abused and killed by these evil ass people 😔🤬 being a mother I’d have no with trading my Life just for these babies to be able to live happily, and protected 😔 I have a teenage son with autism and Intellectual Disabilities and I couldn’t imagine someone treating my son this way! She shouldn’t be considered a mother at all!
My heart goes out to this little boy and all of the other poor kids out there who are going through this and who lost their lives to sick minded adults! May God watch over them all ways.
101K subs, wow, Congrats!
We can still see this when we're out and about, kids looking tense, walking uptight, dark circles around their eyes, you can see the fear and suffering in their eyes.
why rush him to the hospital?? wow, poor baby, smdh
Neighbors heard me crying, I don't know where I would be if it weren't for someone who called child welfare to take me away from an abusive home when I was still an infant.
I was taken in by my step mom after that , she raised my like her own. I was one of the lucky ones.
Saying something anything can save a life.
Your the truth I spend my whole 60+ hours listening to your content. It’s wack an I hope peace for all those family amen
Ive only recently found your channel. You are covering cases that I haven't heard of. It's clear that you spend a lot of time on your research. I just don't understand why neighbours say nothing and children are consistently being let down by a flawed system. This also happens here in the UK.
I agree 200 percent why didn’t anyone say anything!??? Report anyone anytime,,REPORT,,REPORT,, go and talk to the cops, hotline’s,, child services,, anyone that can and will help… This baby is with God now and is running and playing , also being told 3/4/100 times a day how handsome and loved he is!!!
it's so sad that people are reluctant to speak out and call for help in these cases. a lot of times it comes from a mindset of "not my place to interfere" and many other ideas such as not wanting to "momshame" or fear of retaliation or fear of making a child's situation worse. at the same time, there are many instances of people alerting the proper authorities and nothing being done either way. i feel like it's a lose-lose situation for many people. those who don't help are complacent. those who do help (and nothing comes of it) risk making a situation worse for a child. my perspective is to speak up if you see something like this. bystander syndrome kills so many people
Children are precious, protect them at all costs.
Our poor babies!!! It’s always the kids that suffer!! So sad!!!
Little angel, I am so sorry for everything you went through.
I cried watching this 🥺🥺 children are so unprotected. They have no resources,& no real choices in life and I hate that they have to go through this 😰😰 R.I.P. Daytwon,& that mother is SCUM
The bystander effect is so real. “I won’t do anything, Im sure somebody else will.” Is dangerous when everyone has the exact same thought.
The neighbors should be held accountable too 😢 I feel for all kids but especially the ones with special needs 😢. You’re a great storyteller but such a sad story
Thank you for saying it! Inaction is enabling. My sister and I are always keeping an eye and ear out for the children around us.
Anyone who knows of harm or abuse or neglect, especially of a child, yet stay silent, or doesn’t do anything to try and help them are just as guilty as the perpetrator in my opinion. If you know something, for Gods sake, say something you may be the only voice that poor innocent child has, but don’t pretend to care after it is too late💛💛💛
When it comes to horrific cases like this one, I wholeheartedly believe the punishment should be an eye for an eye.
I really wish you could prosecute people like that - the ones that seemed to know everything once the cameras are there and the kids are already dead. There's no excuse for not stepping in to save children. They're all, everyone that knew and did nothing, are pieces of absolute f*cking sh*t!!!!
He’s so precious 😇 your compassion comes through in your story telling. Thank you for being the voice for the voiceless. We can bring change 🙏❤️
The neighbors are to be ashamed of themselves
People you have to speak up and get involved! All these kids are too young and innocent to be dying like this when someone could have done something! Rest in Paradise young prince 👑!
It’s heartbreaking and i send my condolences to the family. I live in a city and i remember helping some teens who were fighting/ being jumped. I welcomed them into my home to help ( as one of the kids was laced. I’m my doing so another kid attempted to steal my cell phone. The kid that was laced looked her dead in the eyes and told her to put it down and don’t do that! He said she is trying to help us. I’ll never forget that moment. But i understand why folks mind their business, because sometimes it harms you. I would help over and over again if i could. It’s sad and we have to get back to community.
I always stick by see something say something. A life would've been saved if only ppl say something. Thank you for sharing 👍😊
If the state was fully aware of the Elisa Azquierdo case and took action immediately after it happened, Daytwon Bennett would’ve still been alive. Daytwon was about 12 years my junior. He would be about the same age as American Idol legend Joshua Ledet from the series’ 11th season, the same American Idol season as my idol Jessica Sanchez, who was born the year of Elisa’s murder.
Incredible the Stories you Share. Truly love the way you tell these True Stories. ❤
Thank you! I appreciate you!
Sad ppl will mind they business but when cameras come around they need they 5 minutes of fame smh
Exactly
One can make anonymous reports,so there's zero excuse for those neighbors !! I wonder if they enjoyed the drama that came with hearing that daily abuse ? It sure sounds like it !
F’g crazy shit. I know that violence should never be used but those people who knew what was going on or suspected it I’d want to give them a rapping around the eardrums.
Thank you I feel exactly the same ! ❤
Daytwon was so precious! My daughter and her husband tried for years to conceive a child, to no avail. Then, this monstrous "mother" shoots a child out every, single year AND doesn't even want them?? It's just insane! CPS f*cked up again!
Thank you for remembering these cases and bringing them out once more. We all need to know this. We all need to watch out for these sweet children. It is never ok to sit by and not do anything because you think it's not your business. Think about what these children are feeling. When a little love can go a long way, so can speaking up.
It breaks my heart. And I can tell it breaks yours as well. You are doing good work keeping these cases in the media. We cannot forget the victims of the past. There will never be progress if we don't make it happen.
The neighbors should be held accountable as well bc There’s no way the don’t hear something and don’t see these kids and see bruising on them. As that women said she saw and heard everything and did NOTHING it’s disgusting and heart breaking that he could be alive today if someone would of just done something. I could never sit and listen or see any child being treated like that. Smh the system isn’t getting better it’s getting worse.
Yes,the neighbors have his blood on their hands !
RIP TO THIS LITTLE ANGEL MAY HE BE IN GODS LOVE AND CARE ❤️ RENEWED HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH LOVED ONES IN HEAVEN 🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The way everyone describes the little angel makes me sick why didn’t they call the police what is wrong with people where is their mercy for god sakes?
This is why I say it loud “I don’t care who you are if I see it or hear it’s up from there”!
A promise to all the children out there in the world from me. If I so much as feel a slight discomfort in the way a child cries or a parent is yelling at their child, and I hear it, I'm calling the cops. Point blank and period. I'm sick of this s#i*! It stops with US, people that are aware of these situations. We have all seen too much to turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to their crying pleas for help. I feel like coming out of my skin with rage when I hear and see these things. From these stories on this channel to the Turmpine children's case and all others in between. It STOPS with all of us that are old enough to respond to these situations. If something doesn't seem right or feel right. CALL!! If a child looks too skinny, CALL!! It can save a life. We don't know. It can be the difference between life and death. For every child that had their innocent, precious lives taken through these senseless act, are with God in heaven, living an everlasting, joyful life. #Fight #Thegoodfight #Forhelplesschildren
So very sad and thank you for suffering thru the retelling of such an unbelievable existence for this boy. I pray for them and for you because it hurts them and it hurts you too.
Absolutely right here abuse, they had a children screaming and crying for help and they don’t do a damn thing but when a child is get killed then they want to speak out. That’s so damn sad my God.
