DEATH NO MERCY MY GUY SUCH A HEARTLESS PERSON SHOULD NOT BE IN EARTH
A child should never find evil at the hands of their mother, or father.
Should never happen.
Love your children.
@DarkMatter420 Me too.
Fact.
Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children. Do you understand? Salt water is bad for him.
And yet when a child is harmed, the chance the perpetrator was a relative is quite high, especially when it comes to closest ones - parents, siblings and grandparents
Before I had kids, stories like this infuriated me, but now when I hear them I just become profoundly sad for the child. It's so incredibly upsetting when kids trust is betrayed at the hands of an abusive parent.
I'm the same. Just so sad. The image of him standing up, looking up at her with pure innocent trust just before she takes him and administers the fatal dose breaks my heart. And for him to spend most of his little life feeling so poorly at the hands of her. Poor little soul 💙 xx
Same dude. I have a 2 year old daughter and stories like this just bring me to tears
Once i had my own kid i cant really listen to stories like this i just read some comments and skip them to the next story.
The woman in the picture looks absolutely evil.
She would say she 'loved' her son, but she only loved the attention she was able to get by torturing him. She had zero empathy.
I mean, look at her face. I don’t think that is the face of someone who cares about others, especially her son. She looks pretty sociopathic
Attention is crack to a female.
I remember this story.
She's still claiming her innocence. She's truly a monster.
And there are so many more of them than you’d think. My momster was one of them
He was a cute beautiful boy. Innocent who loved and trusted his monster mother. So sad.
She's not really a monster. Its very clear from the evidence that she has munchausen by proxy a serious mental illness were a person, usual a mother, uncontrollably needs attention and it often manifest by faking or focusing their children illness to get positive attention. Dopamine is released in the brain when people get positive attention, its one of the reason why social media is so addictive and why people like comments/likes/ interaction. This is made even worst if you have a mental illness driving you for constant positive social interaction. The story of Gypsy Rose is a famous case of the issue.
Typical people with Munchausen will actually go to different doctors so they don't get caught as doctors *should* be aware of the possibility if a child continues to have strange medical issue that aren't going that don't have a clear cause. If she went to the same doctor all the time you would have think they would have noticed and put in hospital for the mental ill and removed the child. And for anyone who is super daft, i'm not saving her actions are acceptable i'm saying this is a well documented mental illness.
@@stargazing_gazer2847 She murdered her son.....she is a monster, regardless of however you want to justify it.
@@stargazing_gazer2847 There are many monsters out there who will hurt others to get what they want and there is no excuse for it no matter what name you give it. That’s why they go to prison. That’s why child molesters go to prisons and not asylums.
She was a monster to that baby and it’s not uncontrollable, it’s out of wanting attention…
Besides my mom I also have a neighbor who fakes illnesses to get attention and it’s not uncontrollable she’s a needy person wanting it all to be about her. I got out of the hospital and a neighbor asked what happened, in the middle of telling her Melanie shouts that she has a brain tumor! She couldn’t handle anyone paying attention to anyone else for one minute, has to always be about her.
So much like my mother and I spent enough years in that house after she shot me that I can tell you it is absolutely not uncontrollable
That picture of him at the end with the bandage around his head got me 😔. Poor kid with a sadistic mother. Rest easy little man
Knowing the backstory that look she had Is the true definition on a devilish grin...pure evil behind it
Did you see how happy the "mother" was...
She looks very happy in every photo! Smh!
Omg..... I see what you mean about last picture.... OMG! That grin from ear to ear! So happy there ...
That is classic munchausen syndrome, not sadism.
As soon as you mentioned her husband dying, I immediately thought "Oh no, she got attention from her police husband dying and now she's Munchausen by Proxy-ing." Then you told me about her husband not even being real, and I just got even sadder. Poor Garrett. No one deserves to be born into that.
Damien does!
The child had a father from somewhere.
But she also faked her own illnesses previously. So this bitch went all out with Munchausens AND Munchausens by-proxy!
My thoughts exactly. She definitely had Munchausen's by proxy. I hope she never gets out. She could have more children and will do the same thing! People like her never quit and deny what they are doing even when they are caught!
Personally I want to know why it took the doctors so freaking long to realize what the mother was doing. After the third time this happened there should have been a nurse visiting the home!
Cps should have been called
@@matthewc5019 exactly!!
That's probably why she moved. These Munchausen mom's will switch doctors and/or schools when people start catching on
Simple. She is a woman. We empathize with women. There's a trend of cold cases being opened up with the woman being considered the suspect for the first time. Men have told people their women may be poisoning them just to die, and years, later, it's revealed it's true by her in her death bed, admitting it in a drunken stupor or found decades later by reading grandma's diary lol
@Matthew C Sadly most cases involving women are not taken seriously
I know Munchausen and Munchausen by Proxy is fairly rare, but I really don't get why doctors never seem to consider it when these children come in for repeated, 'inexplicable' symptoms and conditions. Like. The fact that the kids get better the minute they're away from their guardian should be a pretty major red flag...
I saw this in a few other stories of this same disorder. I guess the mothers dont get enough attention or something happened to them as kids to make them use the children for attention. Very sad for the poor kids. RIP lil Garnett.
Exactly!
Probably never handle munchausen syndrome before. I mean, it rare, right. I can't imagine a mother would do that to her owon child.
My heart breaks when I see this kinda thing. I am sorry Garnett. Rest In Peace angel!
It's actually called Munchington's Disease. Here in Germany,, Munchausen actually means a place where children go to hide their chocolates. Munchingtons Disease is what you're referring which.
That last picture was heartbreaking. I lost my wife and daughter 20 years ago and I still cry and grieve for them every day. I would gladly give my life for theirs if I could and this monster sits there smiling, about to murder her own child just to get attention.
I'm so so sorry for your loss. I know I can't fathom cases like this one where the parent or caregiver is the perpetrator, so I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel when listening to cases like this one. my heart goes out to you !
I’m so sorry for your loss.
“You will lose someone you can’t live without and your heart will be badly broken, the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But in a twist of fate, this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly-that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”
So so sorry 🙁
Im so sorry. I hope you're doing better now. Im sure they are looking down on you.
That means you are a true loving child of God. Your wife and daughter will receive you one day.
It's true not every woman who gives birth to a child is a mother, how do someone kill their own flesh and blood. A Mother is anyone who cares, loves and protects their children (even those not biologically related).
It Fucking happens

@@pupsap7714 you don't understand my statement, you can stick to your definition.🤷♀
As an adoptee who found their biological parents on 23andMe my mother is the woman that raised me, and loved me
. Don't look for what you don't want to find. Trust me
This is so sad & shocking, a mother would intentionally hurt/poison her own innocent child & it leads to the little boys death-she’s a monster!!!
I saw this before, but never noticed until now: Lacy never changed her smile, ever. Its the same big grin, no matter what was going on in the photos. Creepy.
I saw an interview of her in prison denying it I think a while back.
She totally gives me the creeps
I hate she
What she did to that baby should be done to her!!!!
looking a little like pennywise
It's SO sad that an actual "mother," would do this to their own child... ANY child for that matter! 😞
It's called Munchausen by proxy. Poor baby. RIP.
You can give birth without being a mother just the same as you can be a mother without giving birth....A mother is someone who has a maternal instinct and an unconditional love for their child, regardless of if they gave birth or not. This woman was not a mother, this woman was a sicko who abused a child she happened to have thanks to nature, she probably never really wanted to be a mother at least not the type of mother a child deserves. She only wanted attention, that's probably why she got pregnant in the first place.
@@a57rich94 agree, sicko
@@maxhonneger2761 if it's a disease that the mother had , why is she being punished? I'm not trying to stick up for her in any way , I think she's a monster but if munchausen is a disease/ mental disorder shouldn't she be in a hospital & not prison?
@@pauldayton5285 No. There is a point where she could have come clean with the doctors about her mental illness. It took her 6 years to kill this child. She deserves to stay in prison. Mental illness doesn't absolve you of crimes like murder. Andrea Yates was convicted of killing her 5 (think it was 5) children and sentenced to prison. She eventually was transferred to a treatment facility because she was truly mentally ill but that isn't the case most of the times.
I was best friends with Lacey through 3rd grade when I I moved. I remember finding her on FB the year before Garnett died and she told the same story about his dad was a cop and told me all about Garnetts issues. I was so shocked at what came to light. Pure evil. His Father was NOT a policeman. That man never existed. That was a lie she fabricated. His dad was a bum and Lacey didn't want him around
You were never heer best friend if she told you those bold faced lies...
@@canceryahhh lady ( in 3rd grade)
@@canceryahhh she said she was best friends with her as a kid and reconnected later. Obviously someone who hasn’t been around the whole time wouldn’t the told the truth because they probably didn’t talk for years. Don’t be so ignorant and read before commenting
In the case of habitual liars, they will lie to a spouse or domestic partner. Lying to a best friend, same.
Do, foing the same, as it becomes compulsive, to an old school friend, that she may not have seen as a best friend, is not a stretch.
Yup it’s fucked up( momma always says all dark comes to light)
Oh yeah, thank you Mr. Ballen. For all your hard work. I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. God bless you and yours 🥰
Lacy should've gotten the death penalty, and it should've been by the same way she murdered her poor child. What a psychopath
I couldn't agree more.
Lethal injection by salt.
A slow and drawn out death penalty, just like she gave that poor little angel.
Even doing this once deserves death sentence but she had years to realise how psycho she was. living everyday with seeing her baby that poorly too! 🤬
No one should get the death penalty. Only disgusting countries even apply the death penalty.
Plus, in the great USofA, the death penalty is almost exclusively for men. But we live in such a patriarchal society hein?
Such a tragic story. That little boy just loved his mother. He wasn’t even capable of comprehending what she was doing to him. It’s cases like this, where children are the ones being hurt, that make me truly sad. Children only know love and they trust the ones who raise them. When those people hurt the kids, they’re truly evil.
Evil is right...this lady should have got more than 20yrs for what she did. She should spend the rest of her life thinking about it in a jail cell.
She comprehended it fully. That’s why she did it. . Her selfish behavior to gain attention by hurting him was more important than his well being.
@@woebringer7884 yepp! for sure
same thing with people who hurt animals.
She had a mental illness and he suffered the consequences of that. 💔
"Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP) is a mental health problem in which a caregiver makes up or causes an illness or injury in a person under his or her care, such as a child, an elderly adult, or a person who has a disability. Because vulnerable people are the victims, MSBP is a form of child abuse or elder abuse."
Been following this man since his beginning, awesome!!!
You are the best story teller. Thanks
The second he said "high sodium levels" I knew what was happening. It's really shocking how common sodium poisoning is in Munchausen by proxy cases.
Shit makes me sad asf, my bf was poisoned by his mom as a kid
Wow. I know huh? As a clinician, I would be highly suspicious of any situation where I know my medical advice works, and yet it is consistently "not working" that my brain would immediately start sounding the alarm bells ... this is crazy that it got this far
@@macdawg9879 oh god I'm sorry.. how could anyone do that to a kid
@@Willo_1647 He is out of that situation now luckily. Munchausen runs in families so it's likely she was treated the same as a child but a diagnosis was never made. It's sad, it's usually left undiagnosed because the people don't understand they have an issue or don't want to admit it, so they never seek help unless other people get them to.
Especially the second time she brought him in for the same thing, wish the doctor took notice, & insisted on monitoring him more, after the feeding tube, as that should have been a ‘red flag’ right there…

Not all people should be able to have kids
That she's always so damn happy in every picture she's in when her son is dying was a huge red flag.
I agree.
When we didn't know what was wrong with my 3y/o son in hospital few pics every 1 of me I have swollen eyes from crying and an obvious forced smile in 1 but I do not look happy in them such a sick woman

The footage of her taking him into the bathroom was actually not intentionally taken as medical measure. It happened to be apart of the IV stand, as a new feature, not all of them come with one, but this one did. She might have gotten away with it without that damning evidence, and the doctors had no idea that camera was there either. One of the nurses actually spoke up, and alerted to them that she believed this was one of the IV’s that came with the security camera, and they were able to extract the footage after. Our nurses are awesome. Respect for our healthcare heroes outt there! Also, reallyy great storytelling!
Healthcare heroes? What a joke. She had been doing this to her son for 6 years, they were negligent in not doing something about this before he died.

The photo of Garnett in the hospital bed before his monster delivered that killing dose of sodium is gut wrenching. He is so trusting and unaware.

Payback
Munchousen by proxy is such a scary decease. In Denmark there was a story a couple of years ago with a little boy who kept getting anemic. The doctors were also baffled in this case.
At one point they got to go on some payed holiday for sick children. On that trip he got a lot better but no one could understand this either.
After years of this, social services and police grew suspicious enough that the police set up shop in the house next to her for surveillance. They were listening in and after a while they did find out she was taking blood from him.
When they had enough evidence they stormed in right as she was finished and she had taken 7 large syringes of blood out!!
The boy got a lot better after she was arrested but bizarrely enough, she never seemed to understand that what she had done was really bad. Because he didn't die sort of thing.
The hardest part about these videos is hitting the like button and reminding yourself that Mr. Ballen is just telling you the heinous story.

I like your stories I follow you you have great shows💯💯💯
I’m always so distracted by the story that I can never find the secret 😂. As always, great job Mr. Ballen 😅
Me too!
Me three!
That's what I said already. 😁👋
That's what I said as well. He does such a great good at telling the story you just get lost it that.
The secret is:
She was poisoning her son with sodium. Duh 🙄
It hurts even more when one is childless and would have given anything for a beautiful little child to love and care for. Such a sweet little boy. How could she??
My wife and I would have given anything to love and care for any child. This story hurts me to my core. God please give that child a wonderful eternity.
She had no love for that child, only for herself and the attention!
She was pleasuring herself on cost of the innocent kid. Pretty gross.
I’m afraid that some people are just downright monsters. I’m currently 14, and this time last year, I was in a phase where I pretty much didn’t care about little kids (God, I hate myself saying that). But my opinion on children changed when back in May, my sister gave birth to a baby boy we named Carter. I honestly can’t imagine my life without my pudgy-cheeked nephew in it, and I would do literally ANYTHING to protect him. One time, we were at a zoo and one family got a little too close to him and were startling him. Without saying anything, I picked up my nephew, grabbed the pusher and returned him to my sister and my brother-in-law. From that point onwards, I began to realise that I was always watching my nephew and was EXTREMELY protective of him. Even with friends or specific members of the family. Which made me realise just how far I was willing to go for him and his safety. Hearing this story hurts me. If anyone took my nephew from me, I would go to the ends of the Earth to protect him. Bless that poor child, may he rest in happiness and peace. There’s a special place in hell for people like that woman.
She's sick in the head, there's something really really wrong with with her. Its true, it is hard to comprehend
just adopt a cat or dog instead. those are better anyway.
I am literally talking to my teacher about your channel cause we're learning about the lacey story in my inside the criminal mind class
The way my mum was accused of having munchausen by proxy when I was genuinely really sick but so many of these cases happen 😭 maybe because we have free health care so the hospitals don’t dish out treatments as readily? Maybe.
After months of being told there was nothing wrong with me my mum had to threaten to drive her car through the front of the hospital into the reception desk before they finally agreed to scan me and found my kidneys were failing and it it had been left any longer I would have needed a transplant
I was angry watching this thinking about all the actually sick people that doctors can’t easily find a cause or solution. I’m glad things worked out for you in the end. So many people just get told they’re fine when they’re sick until it’s too late. I’ve heard another story were a girl died because they thought the mom was too aggressive about getting treatment and didn’t believe her. I really think if something isn’t easily treated most doctors just can’t be bothered.
There is no demon or creature more hideous, frightening or demented than a mother that can harm her own child...It truly goes against the very laws of nature! Child abusers and murderers don't last very long in prison...She will meet Karma soon enough.
Agreed
Rapists too. All of them should suffer.
They do just fine in women’s prisons
So gross. My wife and I have four little kids. Can’t even begin to fathom someone doing this. Though you don’t need kids to realize how sickening this is.
And yet over 63 million little innocent children have been "legally " murdered by their mothers since 1973 and very few people bat an eye.
As a father, this story breaks my heart.
As the older brother of a six year old boy, same.
The fact that she kept him from father only to slowly kill him is devastating. I think people often, and unintentionally, minimize how painful it can be for fathers when parents split up and they have limited access to their child.

Firstly, my kids are spread apart w 4 yrs between the first 2, and 2.5 yrs between the 2nd and 3rd. Then there was a 6 yr 10 mth gap between my yngst daughter and yngst son. There are 13 yrs between my oldest and yngst. My kids are mostly grown now. I have 2 girls, 23 next mth & 16.5, and 2 boys, 19 & 10 later this yr. My oldest daughter is married to her high school sweetheart w a beautiful 5 yr old son, and they just bought their first home. My grandson is never without family, and never left w a babysitter. Between our huge side, or her husband's big fam, if their work overlaps there is ALWAYS someone close to take care of him, bc that's how she was raised. She works p/t retail, while he has a decent factory job. My oldest son is going into his 2nd yr of Mechanical Engineering. My yngst daughter is a straight A honor roll student. My yngst son has ADHD and autism, and he too is doing amazing. I have an amazingly close relationship w ALL of my kids. They know they can come to me about ANYTHING without judgement, and they ALWAYS have and still do. I know things about my kids I didn't want to know, lol, but that's how close we all are.
I had kids young, and bc of that my ex and I had A LOT of familial support. My oldest was born a little over a yr after high school graduation while I was in college, and we lived w my parents. I always made every effort to be THE ONE taking care of her as an infant. I remember sitting at a drafting table in my parents basement doing homework while she slept in her bassinet right beside me until she needed me. I went to class sometimes on 2-3 hrs sleep. I had 3 kids by 25, and then I was a single mom. I'm very blessed that I have absolutely amazing parents who asked me to move bk in w them and give my kids a good, stable, life. That meant giving up my independence that I had worked so hard for, but it was the best thing for MY KIDS. That way when I worked 6 yrs of nights at a local newspaper (went to college 1st time for graphic design) I had my mom filling in, but we were all under the same roof.
A yr after my yngst daughter was born and I was a single mom, the newspaper I worked for (6 yrs) was sold and mass layoffs occurred. With no portfolio bc I worked for a newspaper on ads, on top of everyone being able to do their own basic design, I ended up at an inbound cust svc call center, for HALF of what I was making. After 2 wks I asked my parents if they'd support me going bk to college for 1 yr f/t while I worked three 10 hr shifts/wk to make sure my kids had a good future, and they happily agreed. I took a 1 yr college prgm, Personal Support Worker (PSW) which is what is required to work in nursing homes or as a PSW in a hospital, here in the province of Ontario, Canada. But I also took Human Biology and Selective Disorders, Pharmacology, and psychology related to developmental disabilities and mental illness (dual diagnosis) as I had decided I wanted to work w developmentally disabled adults instead of in a nursing home. I took those night courses for almost 3 yrs, even after I was hired by a group home agency as a Developmental Disabilities Behavior Worker, so that I could move up. I worked straight nights for another 2.5 yrs (contract position). I was then put to p/t but still got my 40 hrs/wk, and then some. It was at this time I met my husband, who immediately after finally meeting my kids, took them on as his own. A yr later I was pregnant w our son and we moved in together and eventually got married. But we still, 10 yrs later, are 2 mins from my parents.
Then my life changed forever. In Sept 2012, 9 mths after our son was born, and 3 mths before I had to return to work (we get 52 wks of maternity/parental leave), I developed horrible chronic pain. After multiple specialists including pain specialists, I was diagnosed w fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and chronic fatigue. I _did_ return to work, but only 3 days/wk bc the job was extremely physical. I pushed myself for 8 mths. Then I had a bad fall down our stairs bc my body was so fatigued and weak. My husb looked at me and said "U are NOT going to work, anymore! I can't sit here and watch u do this to urself for a job. I will be the one who works and u stay home w the kids and take care of urself". And that's the way it's been since 2013. I eventually got the pain mostly under control, and have spent the last 8 yrs DEDICATED to my kids while my husb, who's a tradesman, licensed heavy equipment technician, has supported us. My parents have always been close and have been great co-parents and grandparents. My kids have never once been left w a babysitter. It's ALWAYS been grandparents, or Aunts and Uncles.
My oldest 3 grew up playing rep hockey (where u travel and spend wknds in hotels, especially when u have 3 playing in tournaments on the same wknd) (my yngst daughter started w figure skating and I was an assistant coach), baseball, lacrosse, ball hockey, and have everything they have ever wanted in life and more. Bc I worked nights at both jobs, I arranged my sleep around THEM. Also, bc of my choice of 2nd career I'm the best mom to my autistic son. Without that education and experience, I'd have been LOST. My kids have thanked me for all the sacrifices I've ALWAYS MADE FOR THEM. I'm definitely NOT perfect and have made many mistakes. But I have ALWAYS done my very best and given them more attention than a single child w 2 parents! And this doesn't even mention the s**t I went thru w my ex during ALL of this time.
@@LisaMarie042 sorry I didn’t mean it negatively at all. I’m sure your kids more then enough love by the sounds of it. I’m just some nobody you don’t need to acknowledge me or my comment. I’m far from perfect clearly but I do feel really bad my comment made you think all this stuff. And I’m glad your doing well in life
@@browniepudding8315 Thk u very much for ur response. I am really glad I read it wrong😊 I just get defensive when it comes to my kids, or suggestions that I may not be the best mother when I've sacrificed and done everything in my life for THEM. Many have found out that out the hard way when they tried messing w them. My kids have always called me "Mama Bear" bc of it, lol. And when I see/hear about ANY injustice to children, like this story, it brings me to tears and infuriates me at the same time. I hope that woman rots away in prison until she enters the gates of hell. Again, thk u for clarifying.
Wife: K you’ve been on RUclips a LOT. The heck are you watching so much?
Me: The strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Only 20 years for that psychopathic woman? She deserves much much more.
I truly cannot fathom this...
God, she looks THRILLED in that last photo, anticipating all the attention and sympathy she's about to get.
Ikr
Yes 😡 twisted woman
I would love to give her some attention. But them I'm sure her new neighbours will too.
Why didnt someone in her family or circle of friends report her to DSS? If they knew she had a history of lying about important things in her life to get attention??
I have a 6 yr old. I couldn't imagine doing this to him.
That last image of him smiling in his hospital bed, not realizing the danger in was in. He loved and trusted his satan’s spawn pure evil mother aka his murderer💔😢RIP little Angel she cannot her you anymore.
but there's a innapropriate smile from the mother
@@rick15666 she tortured him his whole life. I honestly think the justice system is far to soft on child killers, child abusers and the like. Typically they keep them away from other inmates , because they do not like them either. As far as sentencing seems like it is always not nearly enough. It is completely unfair to all children.
@@jperry8572 our government arechildkillers too
@@prestonkorey6799 oh I agree completely
Evil 💔😥 worse video I've ever seen.😭💔
I cant even comprehend this! I'm a mom of 5 and when my babies are sick or even my teenagers I'm all over them....I get so worried when their belly hurts that I can even imagine being the cause of their symptoms!
My entire recommended is mr ballen lmao. I get on RUclips as if I'm really about to watch something else 🤣🤣🤣
Poor baby, I can't imagine a mother doing this to her own child, twenty years is not long enough for this monster. RIP little angel, sleep with the angels
true
Definitely not enough time she should be denied freedom forever.
Was it 20 to life? They can certainly deny her parole
I agree
@@renatawarec they can also let her out early. Which they surely will. Male murderers serve 63 percent longer sentences than women. Females also are released early from their sentences 76 percent more often than men. Hopefully they keep her locked up for the full 20 years, but highly unlikely. 20 years is a joke to begin with.
No one ever thought “huh it’s weird he’s been to the doctors 354 times for the same thing and there’s no real reason it should be happening”? Is it not common enough for this kinda stuff to happen for it to ring bells or what? Like you said, your body can’t just create sodium so after the first seizure shouldn’t there have been at least a wellness check to make sure the mom wasn’t at least eating horribly or something?
Unfortunately common sense is not too common.....but demon's are
@@drinking_master Speaking about common sense and then claiming some supernatural fairytale character is actually the cause of things like this instead of the people who actually do the acts is ironic at best.
@@Trainwheel_Time hilarious how labelling what happens to the majority of people daily as fairytales? You are blinded by a lack of reality.... and a lack of authority.
@@Trainwheel_Time is love for you to disprove the “fairytales”
@@lisafoos8976 yeah I watched a video on this case that was a bit longer and she kept doctor hopping and would move around as soon as the doctor started to get suspicious :(
I believe you served sir.. if so thank you. Now I'm enjoying your channel brother
this is heartbreaking. that poor child :(
The secret in this video is that I want to hurt her personally, but I’m going to like the fact that you told the story and move on to your next video. Thank you and Rest In Peace little guy. ♥️
@@suisei9040 lmfaooooooooo who hurt you
That’s no secret. We all want to hurt her.
@@suisei9040 Hey. It’s just a gut reaction. I felt the same way. Doesn’t mean I’d ever hurt anyone. I wouldn’t. And I wouldn’t be a vigilante. Even though our country (US) is full of them. It’s just a statement of a feeling to express what is incredibly difficult to express.
@@suisei9040 Chile stfu anyone that hurts children's deserves to get hurt, regardless of it not bringing back the child. You must pay for your actions. And if someone was in the position to hurt her THEY SHOULD. So what bs are you talking about
@@suisei9040 What a nerd.
This "mother" is awful. 😭 Rest in paradise little Garnett. 😇🙏🌹
She doesn't even deserve to be called "Mother"
This reminds me of a couple of cases that occured in the United Kingdom. The first concerned a hospital nurse called Beverley Aylett who was diagnosed with Munchausen by Proxy after several of the children on her ward failed to respond to treatment and ultimately died. Although she seemed very concerned that the children were getting progressively worse instead of recovering like they were expected to, the cases were too similar in nature to be purely coincidental.
The second case involved a couple who adopted a young boy and his sisters, the husband and wife only wanted to take the two girls but were told by social services the children were to be kept together. Shortly after the adoption the boy was admitted to hospital suffering from a sodium overdose. He would tragically succumb to kidney failure just a few days later. According to the newspaper article I read, his adoptive mother had made him take a spoonful of salt as punishment because she thought he was misbehaving. When he asked for a drink because the salt was making him thirsty, she refused to give him anything. Sometime later he collapsed in agony, and the couple decided to take him to hospital as they hadn't intended to seriously harm him (or so they claimed when questioned). After he died, the boy's sisters were transferred to a new home, and the couple were no longer permitted to adopt on the grounds of gross negligence. As far as I can recall, they were also arrested and served a prison sentence for their mistreatment of the boy who was about the same age as Garnett.
There is no punishment bad enough for this woman.
"Despite following Doctor's orders...." I think we all know that she didn't.
You sir have a gift for story telling, even tough ones like this.
I'd say especially with tough stories like this - it's where his fairest qualities really shine.
He's one of the best storytellers on RUclips.
I remember reading this story, my heart aches for this poor child... rip xxxx🙏
there really need to be parenting class and psychological check that need to be taken before having a child.
Good luck with that. People will argue about their rights, etc.
Having a Mr Ballen video pop up makes Monday a hell of a lot better!
Since I'm a dad, I can't deal with hearing about child abuse anymore. This was such an awful story, I won't sleep well the next few days...
Your kid is very vulnerable
It hits different when you're a parent. And it's always the worst when your child is that age and another child passes away from child abuse and is the same age as your child.
Garnet is absolutely adorable! May his precious soul rest in peace 💕
Totally can't wrap my head around this sort of thing...
I try very hard not to pass judgement, as someone who has a mental illness and has felt judged, I really try not to do it to others.
But I have two children, and any time they have been ill and/or needed to see a doctor or be admitted into Hospital, I am absolutely heartbroken to see them feel unwell and suffering.
SO this, I just can't excuse.
I knew her & Garnett before they moved to New York. I was young then but I remember thinking how mean she was... & how she would get almost jealous of me playing & running & laughing with Garnett. She used to watch my nephews too... & after a short while, my family started to have a bad feeling about her. There's a few documentaries out there & there is a lot more to this story that is absolutely insane.
what do you mean?can u share a story?
.
Disgusting! This could have been prevented had ANYONE that knew them spoken up!!! FFS
OMG… that’s just horrifying… And now for you to hear this story and what happened afterwards they moved away… that must be somehow shockingly surprise you… oh my…
Dang really hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This case makes me so sad. I saw it the first time it was published, then watched it again now, and both times it just broke my heart. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a real thing, and if you ever see symptoms of it call the police, call CPS. Call someone, tell them what you see! You might just save an innocent child's life.
That's what was going on with that woman Dee Dee and her daughter Gypsy. To a point, at least.
We'll never know if Dee Dee planned on eventually poisoning or, otherwise causing Gypsy's death.
Please do not call CPS, they are just as evil, even more so because they have been Documented as kidnapping children for Adrenochrome harvesting to the elites of the world!!! Not Joking!!!
***BUT YES, CALL THE POLICE!!!*** And if the police call CPS, Watch them Close!!! Check up on the Child and or Demand to see the child for proof of their wellfare, but if they give you the runaround the child is gone or dead by then.
We are in some Horrid Times! Especially for children!!! in Jesus name, amen.
@@miketalas7998 why does Jesus let those things happen?
Adrenochrome... 😔 People are so gullible
@@neglekt_official because God gave us free will .
I’m honestly shocked that they never questioned that
I actually can’t watch this when the story was first published it broke my heart now as a mother of a beautiful baby boy it just breaks me even more
All children deserve parents but not all parents deserve children.
The love and trust that child had for his mother is so clear from his eyes in the photos. Its really heartbreaking 💔
Just like how pizza is for everyone but not everyone is not for pizza
U stole this comment
Found it!
all parents deserve children. There are some people that don't deserve to be called parents you mean
That poor boy😭 he was so adorable and he could’ve had an awesome life had his mother not been an utter monster😭😭😭
If you believe in heaven, at least find comfort he is now safe and loved with God.
If you dont believe that is fine. Instead know the mother will suffer in prison and once released few if any will ever want to be part of her life again.
@@theoneeyedartist3253 I don’t believe in the heaven stuff and god and all that, but I do believe in the afterlife. I take peace in knowing the fact that the little guy is having a better life in the afterlife than he ever would have with his awful mother and I do take joy knowing that his mother is gonna rot in prison.
Thank you😌
@@troublemakertime2.036 THANK YOU finally someone with common sense💀 btw u got ig?
@@plutoxll4757 uh yes. I do have ig. Why?
@@troublemakertime2.036 cus tryna follow u on there✌🏽
May she meet the same pain and suffering her child did. A child is a precious gift which we are to protect.
I wish I had not listened to this one. This one broke me. The pictures or Garnet, he was so beautiful and he trusted his mom. I can't stop crying for that poor baby. I'm going to go hug my toddler now and hold him close. It's almost just too much to bear knowing things like this happen. It's too much it's soul crushing.
20 Years in prison is a slap on the wrist. She deserves so much more.
As a father of two awesome kids, I can’t imagine how anyone can hurt their kids.
Fathers don't get enough credit
I come an abusive mother, they can and they feel no guilt. The family often turns a blind eye and Services cant do anything b/c theres no room to take more kids into the state. We need more regulations for who can have kids. That woman should be forced to get a hysterectomy.
@TestHD Induced 🅱ased
im a young and new father, and just watching that made me want to puke, how could you even do that to that beautiful child its truly heartbreaking
Dude right!! I have 1 son who's almost 6 and ANYTIME I see a story about parents hurting their kids it makes me tear up. I love my son more then anything. More than his mom or even my mom! I've never known true love until my son was born. And now we're inseparable. He never wants to leave me and I never want to leave him. Even when I need a brake I can only go about an hour or so tell I want him back. I can't do overnight because I stress to much. And anytime we've tried he just wasn't having it because he wanted to be with me. Its to the point where he basically acts like im his only parent. He knows his mom is his mom but he doesn't care. He doesn't want to be with her or sleep with her or anything. He just wants me. And I feel so bad for his mom but what can I do? I've wanted a son since I was 14 and got one at 19 and EVERY SINGLE person who knew me for some random reasons around kids or not said they think I'd make a great dad. And here I am at almost 26 with my almost 6 year old knowing that when I chose to have my son it was the best dession I've made in my life. Wether we struggle with money or a place to live or anything. I know I made the right choice. I can NEVER imagine doing anything so cruel to my son. I can't even spank him because I hate when he crys :( I've tried. Its to hard for me and I end up buying him a bunch of toys for it. The parents who do this are the most HEARTLESS, SPINELESS, COWARDOUS, PATHETIC PIECES OF SHIT IN THE WORLD! I hope that B rots in jail and gets tortured. I hope theirs some parents in there that love their kids like I do and beat the hell out of her for it. This makes me sick. This and rapest are one of the people I'd definitely not hesitate putting a bullet in their head.
I’m a mother of four(25,22,13 and 11), and I felt violently ill as I watched this video. HOW anyone is able to hurt their own babies that they carried 9 months under their heart...I’m sorry, I can’t wrap my head around it...
My heart aches for that little boy Garnett, but definitely not for that sick monster that calls her self a mother!!!
Crying so hard that I can’t see to write.
Keep safe y’all and blessed be.
Jeanette, I'm still feeling very physically ill & it's been over an hour since I've learned of this evil thing of a "mother."
20 yrs...That sweet, innocent and beautiful boy💔💔💔
I've seen and bin through some sick shit in my life but shit like this involving kids just tear me up. While I know it's going to get me upset watching these videos while I couldn't help em least I can do is hear their stories. Hopefully hearing the stories and continuing my work irl this sort of shit can be caught before a kid dies or has to suffer at the hands of monsters.
I just love watching and listening to you also.
That is crazy ! Rip 🙏
I’ve heard this story so many times and yet I still stay watching. I love this channel.
This poor kid. As a loving and devoted father, I couldn’t imagine my baby ever being harmed.
My brother has a baby, the first new generation of our family. And I love that baby sooo much, I would do anything to protect him. I don't get why you would murder your own blood
And unfortunately his real father was never even aware of his existence. She lied about so much. Including his dads death. His dad never got to know him.
We would kill for our children if we had to! I know I have certainly dressed some people down over my children!
That’s what Garnett’s mother said.
I thank God immensely for my ability to spot crazy people, that is one that my instincts would tell me "nope."
So heartbreaking. I have a 4 year old and a new born, and I can't even imagine how someone could entertain the idea of doing this to their own kids. Seeing those pictures of that little boy, and knowing that his future was stolen from him...it makes me so mad, and so sad at the same time.
