So, if I understood this correctly, towards the end, the kids were eventually removed from foster care and released into the care of other "family members." Which makes me ask, where were these family members before all this happened or while all this was happening, why didn't any of these family members intervene on behalf of the kids earlier? And if these family members all just looked the other way the whole time the abuse was going on, are they really going to offer these children a more stable and caring environment?
Exactly my thoughts. Plus, I know that a lot families have a similar mindset... Who's to say that these family members won't also abuse these poor children. Just sickening. They'd be better off with elsewhere in my opinion.
Maybe the rest of the family didn't even know how many children there were , extended family? Who knows . I hope that someone did a really good job checking on all of them and definitely checking on the kids well-being on regular basis 🙏🙏🙏
Like I just replied to someone else, not all families are close like that or live in close proximity to one another to go and check in on them; perhaps they live(d) out of state.
Great point. Very well put 🥰🫶♥️
it’s possible that they are extended family or just were not in regular context… i can see how, if you lived far away, barely talked, and family reunions aren’t a thing, you could easily know barely anything about a relative’s life, especially if they don’t share. one can hope…
The parents certainly dont looks malnourished!!!
Right? They look fatter than Santa.
For real
They look like siblings
@@NicOneRockRec yes! I did think mad inbreeding!!? I mean how can someone be THAT stupid!!😑🤢😬
I have my two oldest grandkids living with me due to similar circumstances. My daughter cut me out of her life because her husband and I don't get along. I had no clue how they were living and being treated until CPS called me one day after they'd all been taken. These need lots of care, love and understanding to cope and hopefully one day put the past in the past. I hope all of these kids find people who can give that to them. Such a sad situation.
The judge's decision to drop charges was disgusting. It's hard to remember the specifics of every beating that you get when they happen on a regular basis. Shame on you!
Pisses me off so bad I hope he has to step down! Some judges are as bad as the criminals.
I am from Pennsylvania and seriously the judges are so corrupt here. School to prison pipeline is no joke in PA.
@@Miss-320
Hillbilly county. Hillbilly judge.
It’s white supremacy and privilege at its worst. Funny though, you all only notice it, when it happens to white people.
Those parents have quite the resemblance of each other, they look like they’re related.
I was thinking the same thing
Soul mates. Natural born killers united couple.
On the surface, they share similar features, but on closer inspection, their features are differently-shaped.
This comment section is full of dumb bored people just assuming things. lol
Makes me wonder how many more cases like this exist that we haven't discovered.
I agree but, I feel like the answer to that would be devastating.
Many. In my case, I am told that America has no agency legally obligated to protect children from harm even when they know that harm is imminent. Supreme Court has to tell citizens each year that they have no case to sue police for not protecting their children. Police are not legally obligated to do their jobs. Research it yourself and you will learn the truth.
It's scary to think about.
@@RainbeauxHarcus We have child protective services in America but they're overloaded with cases. Still they're obligated to investigate any claim of child neglect or abuse. My friend's husband had his friend staying with them and they had to ask him to leave. As revenge he called and made an anonymous claim of abuse so they investigated the crap out of her husband. He claimed the he had molested her daughter so she had to move out of the house for about a month until they determined it was unfounded. Myself and her other friends were all interviewed. The daughter is an adult now and says her dad never hurt her.
Hundreds.
One of the scary parts is that none of these kids were in school. The eldest child was 16 . How were they able to hide these 7 kids for so long?
I’m so sick of charges being downgraded or dismissed. These 2 horrors need harsh consequences for these crimes. This was torture. They should never even have an opportunity to harm another child. My prayers for the children’s well being and future. It’s heartbreaking.
The state/county does not care one bit, they just want cheap quick proceedings.
Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child. I wish the children all the best for their future.
Cringe af
Truer words have never been spoken. These children deserve the world.😢💔💔💔💔
thanks for ur comment. it really made an impact on these children's lives
being a dick seems to come natural for you. Congratulations.@@alexderek5233
I dont understand why people have children to treat them so badly. Disgusting
With scumbags like these two, it's usually so they can get a welfare check to pocket.
For government money😔
Heartless sadistic psychopats!
to them kids are nothing but a welfare check.
@@melluques8475that about sums it up ,worthless useless specimens
Am I the only one who thinks the parents look related ? Lmao 🤣
this case is disturbing. Some people dont deserve to be parents.
shane & cristal are brother & sister. they ran away from their family. they didnt have a relationship with the immediate family.. they were cast outs
@@StygiaN-WeB how do you know that?
Omg I thought the same. Lol. I'll have to go back and make sure he didn't say they weren't married but brother and sister
I thought this too. Even down to the shape of their ears. A quick google didn't bring up anything immediately and I dislike them enough not to dig into them further
So r the kids inbread
The judge should be in jail too.
Man, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! I’m literally hurrying as fast as I can to complete my task so that I can go in my office, shut the door, and immerse myself into all things *Beyond Evil* 😊😊
Cringe
@@randylahey2242 sorry to bother you
I think they have another channel called Beyond Evil.
@@Nixon6414 yes they do!
Me too!
Imagine how many more of these cases exist but not yet discovered 😢
I know several. None of them made it to the courts.
There is no excuse for such horrors to be inflicted on children. I'm so happy to hear they are thriving. I hope they all go on to live amazing lives.
I grew up with hoarding and did a lot of research on hoarding while coping with that, hearing a lot of people's stories. Animal hoarding is a whole different ball park and something that makes me feel dread in a visceral way from the stories that I have heard
100%, animal hoarding is way different.
@@ZijnShayatanica regular hoarding can definitely be traumatic. But once that same mentality gets applied to animals, it truly becomes a nightmare for all involved.
@@rachael8646 I engaged in animal hoarding. It was crazy, like hundreds of small animals cramped in a small space. No one knew, police never came. One day I decided to finally release them and lifted the heavy stone. All those ants ran around the garden like Jesse Owens!
I can't help but wonder how each of these children even made it through newborn phase! And also...don't either of them have family members that check in or anything? It's *insane* to me that some of these kids were teenagers before anyone found out their living conditions. Poor babies 😞 I'm so glad they all made it through, and while their "parents" sit behind bars where they belong, they can show them what living a good life is all about.❤
shane & cristal are brother & sister. they ran away from their family. they didnt have a relationship with the immediate family.. they were cast outs
In my case, I have called the police, FBI, Sheriff and CPS to no avail. I've met with hundreds of attorneys and am told that the Supreme Court has made it clear: America has no agency legally obligated to protect children from harm, even when they know that harm is imminent! My children were kidnapped in a violent home invasion on November 28, 2017 and responding police officer Hatle said that my three minor children were not worth the cost of calling in back up because they were being held captive by over 20 people! I had my children and everything I owned stolen that day and I have NEVER seen nor heard from my children. Idk where they are today and no one cares.
How do you know they're brother & sister? @@StygiaN-WeB
omg what the heck!?? That is horrendous, you poor thing. I care. What happened? @@RainbeauxHarcus
@@RainbeauxHarcusuh... What?
Why did the hospital let those kids leave with maggots in their hair??
More importantly, why would they let the two, I believe it was, leave whose kidneys weren't functioning properly??
@@loveforeignaccents exactly! And then drop charges because the abused children couldn't remember which rooms they were in or dates for specific beatings? It is appalling how the legal system works. These people need to go away for life. But they won't.
How horrible! I will never understand how parents like this, who are so screwed up individually, could run into each other so randomly. It happens too frequently it seems. I hope the seven of them make full mental and physical recoveries and may they finally have some genuine love shown to them. I hate hearing about cases like this.
Well…they are actually blood brother and sister, were outcasts and ran away from the family together. And thennn they made one of their own, a big one that they never took care of unfortunately. They got lucky to not have any of them with mental disabilities or physical defects. But then basically managed to cause each of them to be disabled by their non existent “parenting”. How long was she gonna go with this before one died, and what she would do to the others if they seen it?. How screwed up does that sound eh?
@@shannonrose4370 I don't recall hearing that they were siblings. If it was mentioned, I must have missed that part somehow. That explains it. Thanks for that info.
Birds of a feather, as they say... it's probably bc anyone stable would nope the heck out of there.
@@lisalynnmarie2448 it didn’t say it in this video specifically, I actually found it in another link from a few other people, I’ll have to post it for u. But it made sense even more, and you can actually see the resemblance between them!!
My mother used to beat me with a belt and the shear terror of watching her, take it off, and knowing what was coming was almost as bad as the pain of the beating itself. It’s a mental terror in addition to physical pain and even as an adult, I can still remember it so clearly.this is why I never hit my kids when they were growing up
I'm so sorry you endured that. I understand the fear although my mom never used a belt. I always felt the same way and can not imagine inflicting physical pain upon my children in the name of "discipline." 🙄 Usually, it's in the name of "anger".
@@Rebecca-hc5ju every experience I’ve ever seen it it has always been in anger
❤❤❤❤❤
Hope you put her in an old folks home and forgot about her 😅
@@rachelcappello9767 yes! 😅 tho honestly, I have no idea where she is. I went no contact in 2006 at some point I had to just understand she was never going to change or take accountability.
girl dragged by her hair all the way home AND NOT A SINGLE ADULT NEIGHBOR DID A SINGLE THING TO HELP. i used to SCREAM for help in a fucking HOA and NO ONE CAME TO HELP. NOT ONCE. you adults who do nothing are as bad as the abusers because you could have saved them and you did NOTHING because you didnt want to know the truth some kids live. you didnt want you precious little perfect life to be disrupted by the real world
you got that right!
My neighbours would see my brother beating me, strangling me and holding knives to my throat. 10 years, and not once did any of them so much as say a word.
@@mikesanders8621 They probably thought you were impersonating the native struggle for America. Probably had fun watching it.
I think this should be titled the case of both parents-not just the mother.
Yeah, I was surprised they only mentioned her name.
yes, say whatever you want about maternal instinct but BOTH parents in a family are equally responsible for caring for the children, and to only name Crystal is to let Shane off easy, and perpetuate an unhelpful conception of gender roles.
@@saint-miscreant perfectly said!
@@saint-miscreantYeah no shade to the content creators but leaving him out seems kinda misguided and sexist. He is also at fault, literally just as much as she is bc the kids belonged to them both.
@beevonerd it's his second misogynistic thing in this month tho. One was about period blood so....who knows about him actually. ..
Why is this video only titled with Crystal's name, and not Shane's also?
Where was the family? Didn’t they have grandparents or anyone at all that checked on them? 🥺
Everyone does not have a relationship with their family, so its possible that extended family may not have even known about the kids at all before this.
I’m shocked that this wasn’t drug related.
Alcohol is a drug period.
The parents are brother & sister. So I can only imagine what their own upbringing was like.
I was having some serious GI issues. I lost almost 100 pounds without trying in a years time. My small intestines don't absorb nutrients like it should. Even though i never stopped eating, I was extremely malnourished. It felt horrible all the time, no energy, and my hair was falling out. As a full-grown adult, malnutrition brought me to my knees. I can't being to imagine what it does to children.
I’m so pissed right now about what these kids went through! My wife and I can’t have children and they had 7 and treated them all terribly! We would have loved those children unconditionally and put them before ourselves! If those parents don’t pay in this life they will definitely pay in the next one! I pray those children will prosper and become amazing people!
This is a distasteful case. The cruel neglect of the children makes my stomach churn in discomfort. Although they are children who have a bright future ahead of them, their future is still looking very dark. The parents are awful, it's not a big deal if they don't have much money. They could work hard and provide for their children with a life they've never had! Can you imagine trying to make your own children stop eating when they depend on it for survival? Children are entitled to parents, but some parents do not have the right to have children.
*discomfort
@@cosmosrunner2468??? 🤔
"taken in by other family members" im sorry, they had OTHER FAMILY THAT DIDNT CALL THE POLICE EARLIER?
Perhaps they lived out of state or weren't close.
NOT EVERY FAMILY AT EACH OTHERS ASSES EVERY DAY ffs
I broke my tailbone on the sidewalk in the middle of winter, and there were a bunch of people around walking around, and nobody did a thing while i was on my back gasping for about 20 minutes. Nobody even asked if i was ok. So i can imagine people continuously ignoring children suffering if they can ignore someone being very obviously injured in public. People suck and the ones who never called the police before should be held accountable. The judge should be investigated if he can dismiss that stuff so easily
I'm not dead but severely disabled all my Life..my family doesn't care..now an adult I don't know how long my body will tolerate..
I wish my dad would be jailed..never cared and won't ever 😢
If your Dad is neglecting or abusing you, whether physically, emotionally or otherwise, I'd suggest that you call your local Adult Protective Services. There is help out there for you. Best of luck to you 🙏
mom and dad look like brother and sister. I hope those 2 rot in hell.
I had to scroll over some of the abuse these poor children endured, both mentally and physically. I wish them all well in life. Hopefully they never have to be in contact with their abusive parents ever again. Seems all they cared about were the pets and alcohol. Thank God Tammy placed that call to the police... better late than never.
So two problems I have with this video: One is the title. Why does it only refer to Crystal, when it should clearly be called "The Evil Case of Shane and Crystal Robertson"?!?
Secondly, you list the sex of the children at 6:43, which turns out to be six girls and one boy, and then at 24:44 you say "two of the youngest boys... can we at least try and get the facts correct, please?
Other than that, hope these two get the max sentences possible when the time comes, cuz we all know they are going to be found guilty. Thanks for the upload & have a good one.
You know, it’s funny - RUclips is a huge place. If this isn’t your cup of tea, find another one. Or, I don’t know, start your own channel where you can upload content you deem more factually correct 🤷🏼♀️
@@kimw8166 Oh, don't worry; it's my cup of tea. Didn't get the memo that we weren't allowed to voice our opinions on a video anymore. 🙄🙄
I’m not sure why it will take anybody 16 14, 12, 10 years to call the police when this was all going on. Shame on every single neighbor.
Make it was only after certain time they weren’t able to hide it anymore. Or the parents got careless & the kids started going outside, finally being seen by the neighbor who called the cops
My birth mother was severely developmentally delayed, and I was raised in a house like this until i was about 5 yrs old--no food (or old, spoiled food crawling with roaches), holes in the wall to the outside where bugs came in and crawled onto me as i slept, sexually abused by strangers, etc. I was taken away when i started kindergarten, brought into a home of religious cultists determined to cure me of my 'inherent evils'. Even though i now had access to food and electricity, I cried all the time to go back to my first home because as bad as it was, I wasn't being abused on PURPOSE with my birth mother--she could be kind and loving in a way my adoptive parents never wanted to. I was a 'project' for saving--but since i left the cult, i'm no longer included in the family.
Adoption rarely fixes anything--the best thing you can do for any child is PAY ATTENTION to behaviours/warning signs of specific abuses and be the best friend/neighbor/teacher/aunt you can be tangentially. Set an example, be patient and understanding of kids who smell bad/look filthy rather than mocking or criticising the parents, give them answers and information to help them help themselves as they age. And BE WARY of extreme religious people--the ones whose children seem 'so obedient and well-behaved' or 'so mature for their age'... those kids often live thru unspeakable cruelty designed to break, shame, and mentally incapacitate them from developing the capacity for independence.
A religious home where the adoptive parents were willing to cure you of your "inherent evils" but not your mom's. Such hypocrisy!!
I'm sorry you endured that and I hope your mom was provided with the resources she needed.
I agree. Often there is no real way out. You just replace one evil with another one.
the parents look like siblings
Thanks for this upload. Very well put together as always. An utterly shameful case.
But... why only is the mother named in the title as the perpetrator? Dad lived in the home too no? 🤔
I remember how disgusted I was when I first watched that couple in Breaking Bad who lived like this with a child, but as I've watched more and more of these videos I've come to realize how common it is....... Hoping the kids got the life they so deserve
Neighbors come out of the woodwork after the fact ffs. The oldest was 16 years old this didn't start a month or 2 prior. I can't stand hearing neighbors knowing damn well there were many children there.
No words..i believe an eye for an eye
100%
So…they apparently weren’t living off the grid? She gave birth at a hospital (about 7x) so why weren’t the school systems wondering where the children were attending? No one ever questioned them about anything?? This video didn’t mention either of them working so how’d they pay rent, afford a vehicle?? Let me guess…S.S.I.??? 🙄 Come on !!!
I truly hope authorities don’t forget that “their family members” are where those 2 came from.
How would a school be on notice that someone was born X number of years ago and should be attending any school? I would imagine the welfare checks went toward the rent and a vehicle, cuz they obviously weren't spending it on the children and/or any sort of house fixer-uppers!
This case shows so many aspects of our society that are completely failing us.
Beyond Evil is known for leaving out a lot sometimes..they only make 30min videos mostly lol i mean cmon. If you want more facts about a particular case, sometimes you can find another channel covering the same thing and they'll have additional coverage in there. Or you can just go read the news articles like the creators did when they were piecing this mug together. Or if you REALLY wanna know, you can find the discovery and court transcripts.
@@buttplugsalesmane69 LMAO @ your username 🤣🤣
That idiot judge should be locked up in that trailer to live in those conditions for a few months.
I agree that putting these kids in with ANY family members does not seem like a responsible decision. Also, life in prison for the "parents." Anything less would be a sham.
Money for booze, money for a nose ring, dog food and animals but NADA for the children! I have no words! I pray all the children are doing better both physically and mentally now, and that they all go on to live wonderful lives! Prayers for them
Terrifying that there are people out there who hoard living things. Just collecting children and animals like they’re playing Pokémon Go
I just started this video. If there isn't a reveal later on that the parents are biologically related, I'll be shocked. They look like siblings.
I was thinking the exact same thing!! 😂
@@Noa_TayYES! there must be related omg
As a Dutch person, where punishments are already way too liht to begin with, I will never understand the whole "bail" thing. So this means you can literally buy your freedom when you've commited heinous acts? That seems absolutely ridiculous. Its also ridiculous that their punishment was reduced because the poor kids couldn't remember how or when they were being beaten. Absolutely disgusting.
The bail or bond is only to release you until you go to the court date where you will get your final sentence of being guilty or not.
Yeah I think they understand that!!
Yeah the entire system is ridiculous here. It really feels like America has gotten out of control when it comes to the whole "Capitalistic mindset" I'm not saying capitalism is bad, just certain things can get out of hand, even certain good things. I mean we don't help people who are stuck living in poverty. We see homeless people everywhere, and millions of people who can barely afford to get by at the most basic level yet our society feels so disconnected from all of it. It's really weird. It should be a sign of the overall health of our society.
@@benmcreynolds8581 lol nothing to do with capitalism. It evolved out of the idea of innocent until proven guilty. The money part is to make it much more likely they will come to court when ordered to. You get your money back or in most cases bailbondsman do.
@deebell8727 you still are paying for your freedom cause otherwise you'd be in jail 😂
"Lord only knows why they owned a vacuum cleaner in the first place"
😂😂😂 probably not going to hear a line like that again for awhile
Apparently they only needed it for the cord. 🔌
Why a judge would dismiss any charges against these abusers is beyond me 💔
Those poor children. The only thing the parents did right was lock up the alcohol. The mind boggles how it went on for so long. Thank you Beyond Evil Podcast ✳️
Horrible case... Thanks beyond evil you guys are one of the best true crime channels on youtube
I’m convinced the fastest way to get the cops to respond to a situation is to report a property crime in progress.
All of these children will grow up to be amazing im sure! What doesnt kill you makes you stronger!!!❤
So very sad 😢
These are the stories I want to see on true crime. Thank you
Flashbacks to when my dad told me my sweet old loving grandma used to beat him with thick sticks from trees and extension cords as well as vacuum cords and I’m the culture we called them switches cuz once you got hit by any of those your attitude switches quick 👀
Thank you for the mention of animal abuse too.
Where is the music at the beginning? 🤔 Please bring it back! Love the music and love this channel!
Is there a reason only the mother was named in the title?
Is it just me, or do the parents look like twins or what!? Atleast look related to eachother to me. Frightening
Genuinely dont understand why people have children if they can't do the basics.
God bless that police officer who took the initiative to protect those children, thank you thank you !!!
I can't understand how the "family" members were able to get custody of the children!!! This had been going on for 16 years, but they knew or said nothing??? I hope they didn't know because those 2 evil creeps cut off ties before the first one was born & didn't know where they were or even that they didn't know the kids existed. :(
I don't recall it being stated that the abuse started the minute the eldest child was born, so don't know where you got that information from. Secondly, not all family is close or lives in the same state.
You don't know the details, so stop talking pls
@@loveforeignaccentsyou forgot the clap emoji between every word. That helps with the condescending vibe
Thank god for you Tammy Dehaven your an Angel Thankyou for caring about the children and doing what you could XO
She only called because the empty trailer was being burgled, not directly to help the children. That was made clear in the original news reports.
I hope the children can move on as quickly and painlessly as possible and lead full lives. What an awful set of people.
Hello, and Thank You. This is Very Informative! I live in Pennsylvania, and it's call another house of horror. This is Well Researched, and Dine Well!
I feel so bad for those kids I'm actually sick to my stomach now and I have to stop watching this halfway through.
This is why some people shouldn't be parents. I hope all the children are healthy and doing well
Another great upload of yours. Been a fan since 15k subs i wish ur channel all the success
Not neglected but abused, that's the right terminology.
This is Truly Horrifying! Those Poor Children! My God!💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So sad
Hopefully their experiences will give them MORE mental strength? Thats profoundly ignorant. Trauma doesnt make us stronger, being at home in a crisis doesnt make it less messed up. Why do you think people come back from war with ptsd? Why does childhood trauma play such a huge role in later developments? Oh, its cuz trauma doesnt make us stronger. In fact, saying that gives undue credit to abusers. I understand what you were going for but it shows how absolutely naive people are on the subject of trauma. Sincerely, an abuse survivor.
This happened very close to my neighborhood. Maybe about 10 minutes away. All of us are still shook
I just don’t understand……where are the family members in this situation? Honestly it’s sad to see that this happened for such a long time.I’m questioning why no family members saw this and failed to check in or see what was going on.
This is so sad, the kids didn’t deserve this❤
I wonder if someone hasn't noticed that the children live in such conditions.Heartbreaking
Could the dismissal of some of the charges be related to the phenomena of overcharging? Basically, a Jury might not convict on (say) fifteen charges, but there’s loads of undeniable evidence for eight of them, so the court goes for those eight to make sure that the conclusions that are reached by the jury are definitive?
Just an idea. The whole thing is bloody horrendous, but hopefully the remaining charges will put these goblins behind bars for the rest of their lives.
You're correct but another prong of that is that there's less chance of an appeal with only rock solid charges. I'd say the judge is guaranteeing they don't have a chance.
Wow. I didn’t even know about this case. I live in the next county over.
What a couple of pieces of work 🇺🇲😎👽
WHAT WAS THE BACK GROUND OF THE PARENTS GROWING UP?
The info probably isn't public knowledge. This just came to fruition this year. What would be known about them at this point, if in fact it ever comes out?
God Bless these children 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶
I looove this creators work so glad I found the second channel
Wtf is wrong with that judge... But honestly, I'm not sure if it's so good that they ended up in the family, because there's absolutely zero chance that members of their family didn't know there's 7 children. Or that these are the conditions they lived in. Unless it's a very far down the line family. Maybe I'm just cynical, oh well. Hope the kids are indeed thriving.
Someone mentioned that shan and crystal are brother and sister and disappeared years ag, as they were outcasts because of their incestuous relationship.
There's every chance they didn't know. Family doesn't mean brothers and sisters or parents. I have so many family members, and I know very little about any of them. Let alone how many kids they have or how they live their lives. Not all families are close.
So horrible! I feel for all of them but especially the older ones. So fundamentally lacking in the skills necessary in this world and mentally I hope where they are they are getting all the help they need and don’t kick the oldest to curb at 18.😢
"Lord only knows why they owned a vacuum cleaner in the 1st place"-😂
When I first heard of this arrest, I thought of some kids I saw in a motel I was staying at with my own kids years ago.. it was in bucks county about a year or so before these folks were arrested.. these kids were running around the motel with no shoes or socks doing as they please.. my kids father saw them one night and was so upset by what he saw he left... he said he couldnt help but think of our kids ending up like that cuz we were also staying in a motel.. I took my kids to school and went to work everyday but it seemed those kids never left.. i remember seeing them for the free breakfasts.. they may have been a different family but it has always seemed to be the same family I saw.. I never saw teenage girls tho.. only a bunch of younger kids... to this day I think about those kids.. sometimes social services will help someone pay for a room or get them put in a room so I always just thought the state put them there.. the kids were dirty af and had rotten teeth, dressed in dirty clothes etc... i also noticed they were staying in the 2nd floor which was said to be where the hustlers, "pimps" and addicts were roomed... that motel was raided not long after I left there and is now a different motel.. I can only hope it was these kids I saw at that time, and that they're safe now... as soon as I read the article I said to my kids father, remember those kids at the motel.. I think this is them! I reside in the same county but different town than where these 2 nasty humans were found living in....
It's imperative that our country need to make laws with heavier penalties for child abuse. I seen a few cases of this magnitude when I was in a Child Welfare and CPS. One particular family I saw had several young children. One child, who is 11, had to be sent to a state mental hospital because he was deemed "wild". The other children weren't walking or speaking if at all and they were about 4, 5, and 6. It was like seeing a realife Nell from the movie. The 16 year old was so malnourished he was checked into a children's hospital for four months. Our country doesn't respect or values children nor their rights. I heard so many parents in CW and CPS (and when I was a teacher) parents saying "Well they're my children and I'll do whatever the hell I want! No government's going to tell me how to raise my children" or "hey my parents used the belt on me. If it was good enough for me, it's good enough my children". Speaking as though they were possessions. I'm now an EMT. I can tell you the truth not much has changed being in a couple different job positions working with children and families. The only way that's going to change is we need to have a better system on keeping track of children. We need a nationwide system for child welfare and CPS. Too many families can take off when social services sniff around and go to the next state. That's what they do. They will also go state-to-state. They'll take them out of schools until the ultimately just keep them at home. The isolate the children so nobody sees them. Therefore nobody can know they are there. The family that I seen on that case, the children were never at school, never saw a doctor or dentist ever. Most people didn't even know they existed. It wasn't until they (family services) start getting complaints about hearing children running around in the middle of the night. After a few calls from that, it began to unravel in that case. If you or anyone else ever sees anything that concerns you. Please call! Even if it doesn't work the first time just continue to do it. Sometimes the laws only allow state to do so much until they have enough evidence. Only police as far as I know where I live can only do emergency removals not CPS. So don't be shy don't hesitate document , document and call, call, call! Make it a record. You never know. One of the biggest child abuse cases in the citys history I live in. The parents got some serious time in prison and are still there. But it was in a nice home. In a nice neighborhood. The neighbors had no idea what was going on not a clue. The police responded to some noise complaints and due to a mart police woman she was able to find the children who were chained to the toilet. So just keep your eye open and be vigilant.
How was this able to go on for so long😢
I grew up in Bucks County and had an old elementary school friend who allowed her toddler daughter to die from severe neglect and starvation living in filth in a locked, over heated bedroom. She also had an infant son who barely survived and ended up with her family. She barely served a couple years and the children's father received just a few years more. Completely inconceivable.
How do these type of ppl find one another. Not a ounce of human decency between them
Once again, you can always count on "the judge" who lives in their comfy safe gated community to sympathize with the hardened criminals that they never have to worry about. All heart aren't they
This is insane. I can't believe these kids lived like this.
no!
This would never happen if they have extended family around. I think the parents cut their family off and never informed them of their condition or how many children they have. This is appalling. To think this has been going on for 16 years without anyone noticing it is amazing to me.
Thank God for Tammy the neighbor reporting them..she saved those 7 kids from that hellish nighmare KUDOS to Tammy👍.
Why do people like this even have children..it's just sickening.
OMG!!:((
OMG!!!!! I’m only liking this video to support the channel otherwise I’m literally sickened by the parents and hope they never see their children again. I feel so sad and angry at the same time and there’s no words to express my thoughts without anger pushing through. I sincerely hope the children recover and thrive.
Horrifying!!
It takes a village to raise children. This village failed miserably.
