You canmot read into every single thing as incriminating...Many parents are strict and will not allow their kids to do sleepovers EVER..anywhere. . Smart.
Jenn did nothing at all.. nothing.. to help her daughter. All Ds and Fs and Jenn doesn't even show for parent teacher meetings, no tutoring.. no-thing! Jeeze, Maddie only ate bc mom wanted food for her own selfish self. Loser!
Did YT delete Part 3 of the series? I was in the middle of watching it and came back after a short break with a message "video removed because of bullying & harassment"?
I personally feel they don’t have a 200% case without Jen working with them. I think she’ll be charged later Her Biological Father is just as guilty( IMP) He only seen Maddie occasionally. If he was more active she might of been able to tell him! But he was not her safe place SO TO ME He is GUILTY ALSO!! He moved on to Texas with his new wife! So whenever I see him in interviews he makes me sick also! EVERY ADULT IN HER LIFE FAILED HER EVERYONE
@@suzaneejohnson2191I concur. Honestly don't think either of them are prosecutable, but they both should be for negligence. But if they change the laws to prosecute every absentee parent, they'd have to build about 5000 new jails & prisons. There's some horrible parents out there.
My daughter is twelve. I’ve been with my fiancé for 7 years and would never allow her to sleep with us or under any circumstance with him alone. If anyone questions why, this case is exactly why. When she wants to cuddle, I cuddle in her bed with just the 2 of us. It’s not because I don’t trust him, it’s because it’s absolutely inappropriate! Her mother failed to protect her in my opinion. An innocent little girl lost her life in the hands of a monster. Life or death is the closest justice possible and her mother is partly responsible. Breaks my heart! This could have been prevented!
Right?! My partner has been my daughter's dad since she was 2 years old and there is just no way I would send my daughter to sleep with my partner in a different bed. I mean its damn weird that Madeleine would be sleeping with her parental figures at this age - I mean, how would they have sex with a child constantly in the room and the whole thing stinks. There are just certain things a male, whether biological father or not, shouldn't do with a female child - such as helping them in the bath for example. They should both be in jail!
@@dawnatkinson7704Isn't it sad though that all of us has to go through life like this? Because of these perverted evil mofos?! I understand that we have to be very careful who we can trust with our children but it is very sad😢
Yeah, just the fact Stephan was okay with sleeping in a room alone with his stepdaughter is a huge red flag. If I was in that situation I'd just say "no, I don't think that's appropriate". Appropriateness aside, I wouldn't want to share a room with a little kid, girl or boy. That sounds like it'd be annoying for both of us. The whole situation is just icky.
Her blood cries out to the heavenly father for vengeance she at the moment is aware of nothing. She is asleep until the great day of resurrection. She will live her life in the thousand years millennium. The first will be the last and the last will be first. She will have 1000 years with no memory of her past.. as a Christian I am thankful that I have heavenly father to thank every day for the promise that he is given all of us. To live on earth in Paradise.. Madalyn your life was short in this day and age but the promise to you is you will be resurrected and the heavenly father has noted in his big book the injustice that was put upon you. We all love you Maddy. I wish you were here that we could tell you that. Instead we will be the gatekeepers to make sure Stephen Stern loses his life so that he may stand in front of the heavenly father and be judged. Thank you JessieFyfe your words touching me this morning ….
Sadly there is ZERO evidence of a god or gods so no she isn't in heaven however she is at peace in the sense she is no longer here to endure the abuse. So much sadder and why it's so important Stephen and Jenn are punished for their crimes in this one and only life.
I know a few people that were abused as kids , no one knew , they could not speak and it went undetected for years other than behaviour issues that can be just associated with growing up and puberty , until they reached adulthood they finally had words and were able to speak up ..its not always easy to detect , anything can be creating behaviour issues in a child ..such as a divorce , changing school because of a move , being bullied and so many other things …and manipulators and abusers are good at what they do , i went through so many types of abuse while growing up ..not sexual abuse thank god ..but i never shared it with anyone , because we did not know what was supposed to be normal or not …..its not all black and white ! ☮️
No wonder the poor girl was so sick all the time. And her mother having her on a.d.h.d drugs, shame on her. I think the mother should of been on some kind of drug. Theirs something wrong with this woman you can tell by her looks, maybe just me but she just doesn't look right. He could get the death penalty for S.A. There were definitely signs of S.A when she spoke to certain people so sad this case is. 😢😢
@@traceybarnett8829 What are you even talking about? Shame on her for letting the doctors treat her for a disorder??? I've had ADHD my whole life and I can't even begin to tell you how hard it is, especially when your parents don't take it seriously and listen to what the doctors say. My life would have been much better had I been treated sooner. This Mother did a lot wrong, but having her kid treated for a neurodevelopmental disorder is not one of them. Ya'll just want to talk so much crap on this woman and completely ignore the actual monster.
What about Maddie’s grandmother. Didn’t she care or love Maddie. I mean grandmothers love their granddaughters! No one cared…not 1 person. No emotion whatsoever!! 😢😢 monstrous!
Another Jenn lie! She said she talked to Maddie on the night of her party and Maddie told her she loved ALL her presents and was very happy. That horrible woman made that conversation up!
Yessss^ she did say that and always switching up. She also said she didn't see Maddy in the morning but when talking to the police when reporting her missing, she corrected Stephan when he said she had on a blue shirt and black pants , then Jen said no they were black shorts but she said she slept in til 9am and didn't see her that morning. So many lies. She's fn guilty
@@galaxxyeclipse6193 Yes, she corrected him on what she was wearing. That means she saw her before he left with her that morning. So, the question is, when did she pass? Before he loaded her into the car or on the way to school???
Can these investigators go to Tennessee and teach those investigators how to find missing kids?? Please 🙏 Poor Sebastian Rogers and Summer Wells deserve justice ⚖️
School age children are very vulnerable. I cannot understand how Maddie fell through so many nets listening to her teachers describe a very troubled neglected child. A child excessively tired, sleeping in class, it should be mandatory for a class teacher to speak to the parent. When a child describes a mother's boyfriend as wierd, saying she doesn't like him, it should be mandatory for that teacher to follow up, contacting mom etc,. Society continues to fail children when there are no safe spaces for them to speak out in a warm receptive enviornment that helps empower troubled children to speak out with confidence to trusted adults.
Yeah and now abusers have a way out through "home schooling" and problem is the system knows its used widely to hide abuse. Im dealing w this now w my nephews. Their drug addicted mother pulls them out bc she cant keep them in school w clean clothes or awake tht early. Then does absolutely nothing as far as "home schooling" yet nothing can be done?? What till one is dead? The system is SCREWED!!!
Although, teachers are mandated reporters and when they see these signs they HAVE to report to CPS. Theres where the problems arise. Cps is ass backwards and is only concerned about the money it cqn make and not whats best for the kids. Ive been a foster mom and it broke me seeing how the system is. They call to set up appts w the parents tht are being investigated. Who in their right minds are, 1 going to answer and set up appt or 2, not clean up and be prepared for the appt??
@@jennifers.3818that’s not true the teachers can’t report straight to cps, not in my country anyway. The protocol is if a teacher notices something they report it to a higher up. They in turn report it to a higher up and so on. The issue is either lost in translation or covered up because it makes the school look bad that they can’t intervene in a domestic situation. When I was a girl tho, just a word from the teacher got the head on the phone bellyaching my mum and report go social services, and I get hauled into the heads office crying as she ordered me to strip and bathed me then dressed me in clothes from lost property. My problems were bed wetting, unkempt , smelly and unwashed, most days no packed lunch and selective mutism. I remember the social service appointments, my mum sweet talked them into I was the problem child. It wasn’t poverty my dad had a very well paid job but my mum controlled all finances and it was all about her and her affairs which led to frightening situations. That was in the70s, but now teachers and caregivers have no powers to interfere for fear of losing their jobs. An anonymous call from a neighbour would do better.
Don't mistake stalker behavior Stephan did to Maddie for 'a close relationship.' Her friend might've assumed that's what that meant, because he was texting and calling her all the time, but that's stalker behavior, and maybe Maddie didn't want to say anything. So triggering, my mom's bf kidnapped me after i met him once, age 11, and then he moved in. I hated him, but was completely terrified and frozen. They threaten you and they love bomb you. He would buy me things i hated, but it confused me. I just don't want anyone to think Maddie felt close to this guy. It's possible, with Stockholm Syndrome, but for me, i just didn't know a way out, so i just lived with it and was too afraid to tell. I can't believe Maddie liked him. I finally told, and all hell broke loose at age 14, but he promised my mom he would never do it again and she forgave him. I wonder how close i came to being murdered when i look at Maddie's story. I bet she never thought he would kill her. That thought never entered my mind, but he hated me for a long time after i told on him. They sent me away to live with his brother, who i had never met, for a month, and even my bishop at church told me to just try harder not to get alone with him. So it all got blamed on me. His brother turned out to be a very kind man, one of the best months of my life and I'm eternally grateful he wasn't like his brother. He never knew, i never told him. Maddie, RIP little angel.😢
Omg, thats horrific. Im so glad you got out with your life. I can't say safely, bc unfortunately, you weren't safe emotionally or mentally. Did you keep the relationship with your mother after you became an adult? I can understand how difficult it would be to forgive her for her actions. I hope you've been able to heal from the trauma, at least somewhat. Sending virtual hugs ❤
This is horrific. I am so sorry you had to go through this. Maddie had reason to be too scared to talk. He more than likely threatened her, and knowing the outcome, she had good reason to believe those threats as he did end up taking her life. I am so glad you are here with us, you are very brave for speaking up and you are very brave for simply going through everything you’ve been through, and still being a good person. I hope you are healing well, and I hope your life is going well.
Oh sweet girl. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm so glad you survived. No child deserves that type of treatment. I hope you are happy and loved 💙
Natural reflex when being strangled. Smh. I have as much anger towards Jen as I do Stephen, since this was so avoidable. And happening from 8-13? You can’t ever convince me Jen did not know and condone it, even encourage it. Disowning your child? She is the trashiest bish, just as demented as Stephen is. I also wouldn’t be shocked if she is seen in video or photos of the SA.
We need PSAs aimed at teen girls and boys educating them about the dangers faced by young children and the need for both parents to stay closely involved regardless of relationship status.
Unless good ole dad is their abuser. My ex tormented our daughter until she was 4 and could finally tell me. The only reason he's still alive is because I had no one else to take care of my children while I did time. They are adults and haven't seen him in years. The children also changed their names. They want nothing to do with him.
But also not just stranger danger since that’s rarely the person in question and educating children and parents that females and children are also very prevalent when it comes to SA and other abvses. It’s naive and dangerous to just look at men as a possible danger. Parents fail often times so it would be good to have PSA and schools teaching, but it does lay solely on the parents in the grand scheme of things since they are ultimately responsible for their children’s safety and well being. Outside education is only a bonus and can help those kids without well meaning or involved parents.
I love how Sterns said that Maddie was such a happy child.He is just as delusional as Jen is.What kid would prefer to live in the woods,rather than live at home.Home was Hell for this poor child!
It's pretty telling that she would have preferred to take her chances with the alligators and water moccasins. OTOH, there are other reasons why a kid might dream of living in the woods: when I was Maddie's age, that's what I fantasized about. I was a fan of Jean Craighead George (My Side of the Mountain, Julie of the Wolves) and I pored over Euell Gibbons' National Geographic articles and Bradford Angier's How To Stay Alive in the Woods by the hour. And I had a cushy life with wonderful parents, although at the time I thought my mom was overprotective and smothering.
Maddie being mad at her mom and complaining about her mom to friends makes perfect sense to me. I at times hated my mother for things she “ignored” or was oblivious to because I knew in my heart she knew what was happening but was too afraid to be alone or how the abusive pedo would react if confronted because he was extremely physically abusive as well. Thank you for your coverage of this sensitive material. Very respectful ❤
@@andrebailey6676I find it very strange so many almost only focus on the mother...We all agree she was a terrible mother letting her little kid sleep with the monster. However, he's the one taking her childhood, he's the one molesting her, he's the one mundering her. There is evidence all over the place he did this. No where have we read or seen the mother did it, until possible evidence is presented pointing at her, or that she helped, I think focus should be on the monster Sterns. It could actually be in his favour if people are shifting focus, do we want him to have favours?..I know I don't, I want justice for poor little Madeline.
Regarding her “sleepy days” at school. We know that Stephan had photos of her taken “when she was asleep”. It’s obvious now that she wasn’t “asleep”. She was drugged. He drugged her so he could take photos of her. Then, the next day at school, she was still under the influence of the drugs. Poor girl. I wish the teachers had picked up on it.
Could be. But.......When I was s/abused, I faked being asleep many times, in hope that he would stop or to help me get through it. It is another possibility.
Young children that are abused can frequently be seen as “tired, sleepy, daydreaming” ( speaking from PERSONAL experience) These days (I’m almost 60) I can fully imagine that where I was described as being flaky or daydreaming “ these day it may be analyzed as “ADHD” Poor Maddie she was likely disassociating or splitting
@@soniamichael7839wow... So sorry you had to go through that. I never even thought of that as a possibility but makes so much sense that she was constantly trying to escape her reality. OMfg that gave me the worst skin crawling hair standing on end feeling. And for years?! Horrendous. Absolutely horrendous.
@@BrittneyVignerithank you :-) It reminded me so much of my school reports “Sonia daydreams in class” Hyper-vigilance is exhausting as a child as well as the splitting effect of having to absorb fundamental emotional betrayal/love/physical hurt …. And just going to school … homework… peer and age appropriate socialization and interaction The only way to cope for the child brain is to escape Once an adult it becomes learning that you are a separate identity with rights and the fight to own yours and not behave endlessly in people pleasing behaviour as well as healing from your experiences That is thoroughly exhausting m Poor Maddie 😭😭😭 I’m here and living my negotiated life. I’ve had the time to heal and live. Not only did he abuse her he killed her possibility of any life. So he didn’t get caught…. Only to OBVIOUSLY be caught He is lower than excrement
Her little friends break my heart. They loved their friend Maddie. This is probably so confusing for them. These kids spoke about Madeline so sweetly and thoughtfully. Bless them 🙏
Those children captured my heart and I reminded everyone of them .They have not been shown enough and I thank her for showing them but it's not complete for whatever reason.Those children are the future and all adults are responsible for them .
Brings tears to my eyes every time I see her precious photos ; she was granted custody to the wrong parent. Rest in Peace in God's loving arms Madeline.
Her biological father failed her too. He didn't care. He must have signed resignation paper if he moved away and paid child support. Everyone failed her. I hope her mother gets charged
@@Kay091-ew3qi he paid child support, he obviously didnt sign any "resignation" papers. A parent can move to another state and still love and be involved in their child's life
Maddie was improving in *everything* as soon as Stephan Sterns is gone. More energy, more social, more confidence, etc. As soon as he comes back, she’s dead. 🙄
!!! Sometimes predators create conflict between parents and children so when and if victim says the parent deems the not credible or as "causing issues"
Having a revolving door at your home when you have a young daughter living there is SO CRAZY! And so DANGEROUS! No telling how many others abused this poor girl 😩💔😩
We don’t know until we know. Gisela, your integrity is impeccable, and you’re helping others to realize we have to keep grounded and rely on the facts. Police have done a fantastic job; I trust whatever they are doing in their investigation is for Madeline 💖.
Yeah that’s wild to me, especially if Maddie slept in the living room? (I’m still trying to figure out of the makeshift room was hers or sterns’) why would she bring strangers into her home with her teenaged daughter vulnerable like that in the living room? Like wtf lady
The friend saying she didn’t get the morning texts is proof enough for me she was dead the night before or early hours of the following day. Heartbreaking. There is no rock bottom for predators like baby boy. They will sink lower until they’re stopped. Regardless of Jen’s involvement and the glaring issues, shame on her for alienating her daughter…setting her up to keep the secret she never deserved to have 😢
Agreed. I KNEW it was shifty as soon as she said she'd 'forgotten' her phone - just no way is that likely in this day and age. Especially this generation - the phone is an extension of their body practically.
He's a person who was most likely past a demon when he was a young boy. It waits patiently while subtlety influencing the victim to become a perpetrator. Hence, the demon passes from one to another. I've seen Gordon Flowers in action, and some of them cry. They don't know why they do it, and they can't stop themselves. As a society, we need to do something one way or another. Giving no option leaves our babies unprotected. There needs to be shelters like for women but with no children allowed. The stuff they can access online has to be acknowledged as a huge part of the problem. Remember, demons are electrical. Why do you think they push tv so hard as well as computers ?
I was a great student until partway through my 4th grade year. Which was when my cousins started SA ing me. No one caught it, and I showed all the signs
If a parent had a lion in their home and that lion killed their child the parent would be held responsible. Because it is a parent’s responsibility to protect their children from predators/dangers. So, if a parent brings a stranger into their home and that stranger killed their child why aren’t the parents just as responsible? The parent has the responsibility to background ck, monitor what’s going on in the home, talking to the children, investigating unusual activity. That stranger/boyfriend/girlfriend isn’t the child’s friend/babysitter/parent. They have no business taking care of your children. They should not be left alone/transport/discipline your child. You are getting to know this person . It takes years to trust someone with the most precious thing you will ever have in your life. The mother should have known or did known about this man and failed to protect her child. She should be held just as responsible for her death. I was single when my children were young and I ran back ground ck on everyone. No man was allowed in my home when I wasn’t there. No man ever stayed the night when my children were there. I did remarry and never did I allow my new partner to discipline my children babysit my children or ever be alone with them. Not because I didn’t trust him but because my children our my responsibility and their father’s responsibility. If I wasn’t home my parents or their father had them. Not my boyfriends or my new husband.
As much as I understand how you feel, it wasn't a lion, it was another humanbeing. If they don't find any proof of her knowing about what he was doing to madeline or being involved in her being murdered then they have nothing to charge her on. Obviously I agree with you, she's a pos, horrible mother and should never be round children again. But from all the info we have available right now, what has she done that's illegal?
Thos guy was had friends and was around their kids as well and they had no idea either apparently. I heard some interviews with people who he was apparently friends with.
I call BS on anyone that thinks mom didn’t know what this man was doing. What parent would allow a man to sleep in the same bed same room as their child? For the amount of “stuff” found on his phone and the amount of time it would take to make all that “stuff” someone with any parental responsibility would have figured out something wasn’t right. Let’s go back to her parental responsibility. If she was monitoring her child for safety, at all, she would have found out years ago. The problem with this situation is the mother didn’t care about her child, didn’t take the responsibility for her child so that makes her 100% responsible for what happened to her. She deserves the same life sentence or death penalty as he does. I bet if “Mother” had a stack of gold she would put it in a safe or bank and she would lock it up. She would keep it safe. Her daughter was worth more than that stack of gold and she did nothing to protect her.
@@44LillPuffinyou’re right he is a human. But, what animal kills more children each year a lion or a human? Yep a human. So, I would be more concerned about letting a human near my child.
The fact that SS had the audacity to chime in when the police asked Jen what Maddie weighed after knowing he was carrying her body is just beyond creepy
I bet Stephan Sterns purposely causes issues between Maddie and Jen so that Maddie would run to HIM for “comfort and support” 😠 uggghhh I hate that dude.
Yeaaaah….my husband, who is our 13 year old daughter’s biological father as well, wouldn’t even do this. Long before this case, he and I discussed a round about date that he would stop doing certain things just as a father with a growing daughter. Our daughter has never been a co-sleeper, but it’s just not something that is appropriate after a certain age.
You said it agree we adults have to make it our mission to show we all children they can feel safe tell us if they are in a bad situation. ❤❤❤❤❤MY promise to Madeline Soto
G….the Soto house was a shared accommodation at one time hence the room numbers on the doors. This is why they say “room mate” they mean housemate. Madeline’s makeshift bedroom was downstairs because her mother was renting out her bedroom. I think this is how SS came to be involved with the Soto family. He was renting one of the rooms (4) He saw the perfect opportunity to groom the mother to get to the child. Jenn is as guilty as SS as far as I’m concerned!
She told her friends she was wearing makeup so they wouldn’t realize she had been crying. Think about that and how she had to hold all this horrible abvse in for 5 years. Kids always fine a way to blame themselves for adults horrific behaviors and all victims feel a sense of shame and responsibility, being less likely to tell a friend, teacher, other parent what they are going through. I just can’t imagine what all she endured on her own, and yet she went on every day as of life wasn’t a living h3ll as soon as she walked out that school door every single day. She put a smile on and just told people asking she was wearing blush or eyeliner to cover up for what Jen and Stephen allowed to be done to her. Smh💔🙏🏽RIP sweet Maddie.
The other crock (shoe) left at home cause that's where I believe maddie passed at the home. He drove around with maddie all nite wee hours of morning. Like, how they were going for special breakfast at mc Donald's. Then, stephan gave her a Danish he had... so he said....she was already unalived. Early am hours dumping her backpack n lap top in dumpster. Ccts shows maddie in front seat, slumped with her mouth open. Now where was Jen from 10 pm till 8am the next morning. This happened in the home, Jen Knows!
Oh no. She was killed in her own home, or possibly in a hotel room, placed in Mom's car, moved around, then moved to the step father's car, moved around, then, disposed of. I can't help but feel like SS is a Demon. Madeline, Darling Girl, you are close to God's heart now.
It's pretty astonishing that several people knew about his proclivities when he was way younger. S lived with a few friends in a house for several years that S's father owned. They knew. His mother paid someone( the roomate)off after he found a folder on the house internet that S had filmed of HIS girlfriend (the roomates) coming out of the bathroom after showering etc. Also there was Cp on that folder. So the mother knew, his friends knew and he even dated young girls when he was a teen and in his early 20's. I unfortunately think S is quite common in his predatory behavior for repeat offenders they often date mothers with young children. There's no fixing this depravity exhibited from these predators. They should all be locked permanently. They can never be rehabilitated. Everyone knows it. GH has S's friends that have called in and explained alot of the background of S. Also, some were in contact with up until the beginning of this year. Poor Maddie was probably groomed to such a terrible degree because The mother literally threw her daughter at S. She's deserving of some abuse charges her self.
Jen also lied she saw Maddy getting dressed for school, she was already dead. Jen lied about she was with him dropping her off for school. Jen needs charges against her.
Are you saying this channel, Grizzly, has videos/audio of his friends calling in to discuss his past?? I haven't seen those, if so, I'll have to find them. Do you know if they're a part of a longer video? If so, do you know what they may be titled or dated?
@@sj9410 That's because it goes to the top. Jimmy Savile was best friends with Charles. His favourite uncle Mountbatten was into boys. On and on it goes. They take them out on boats. This is happening all over the world.
I really appreciate how you present true crime. Every case you make it palatable for such horrific crimes and methodical so it’s easy to understand the timeline and facts, leaving out all the conspiracy, rumors and speculation creators go wild on, exploiting these victims and their families.💔 You have one of the few most respectful and accurate channels of all TC channels/podcasts, which is why you are an excellent source for information as well as professional with very high standards so you don’t do the victims wrong. Can’t say enough about your work and professionalism. I also wonder if she got misdiagnosed for bipolar, based on the behavior of a child victim. You can see how bipolar symptoms and going through such horrible, ongoing abuse could mimic one another at times. When she stopped those meds, she probably had a clear head for the first time she could remember, and because she was at grandmas and not being abused or drugged with tranquilizers. We saw how often Stephen referred to tranquilizers, so he obviously utilized them a lot and not on himself.
How did Jenn not know that Madaline wasn’t wearing her white crocs when she left for school supposedly! She snot check her house or Maddie’s room for her shoes and items of clothes that were missing ?! How could Jenn not know that Maddy left for school with none of her shoes?! Or left with 1 croc only!? Is this not suspicious?! What is wrong with Jenn?!
Exactly and you would think a grown woman would have common sense to know that as a child you cannot initiate a relationship with an older person. That’s absolutely impossible. A child doesn’t just know to do certain things therefore they either were groomed into those things or are being abused. Either way she lacks common sense and that’s what’s infuriating!
Maddie was used by Jenn as bait for Sterns… Jenn knew Sterns was abusing Maddie and this kept Sterns interested (wanting to be near Maddie)in Jenn….gross.
Hearing what her teachers & peers had to say about her demeanor in her day to day makes this story so much more horrific. That baby girl had to keep so much inside. I can't believe monsters like that creature walk among us. No more pain Madeline.
If I was Jenn, I’d be freaking out and asking the detectives why they are showing me photos of pen!ses. But in typical Jenn fashion, she just casually answers the questions. Help me Rhonda! 😠
She also laughed when the policeman said you’d be surprised ( Re tattoos) when they were asking about disguising body marks. I mean seriously you’re being asked about your kids body marks for identification purposes and you can crack a smile?? Let alone a laugh! The policeman wasn’t even joking he was just saying you’d be surprised. She was certainly not upset at that point about Madeline at all. Big 🚩
I am in SA. I really have to say; I follow a ton of great RUclipsrs. There aren't any quite like you! You are just SO articulate, objective, unbiased, thorough, professional, and just an all round star in my eyes. Love your work XXX
And maybe also Air BNB Either way It is so neglectful to have people in and out of your house w a 12 you girl there. I'm SURE Madeline's daddy would have bought anything she needed. Jen put everyone, including scum stephan, before her daughter
Any mention of Madeline's night clothes? She would not have slept in jeans and a hoodie? If crime happened early hours, which monster dressed her? Poor child suffered one gross indignity after another.
Can someone elaborate on this story that I heard where Stern’s parents paid off roommates for not reporting him for CSAM possession? If so, they are also part of the problem and should feel tremendous shame.
@prlove100 child s@# abuse material. It is the new word for child corn. It was changed to reframe what is occurring as a nonconsentual abuse rather than the child being a willing participant.
My husband would not even go in to my daughter’s room if she was not in the house! Let alone when she is in the room! And definitely he wouldn’t sleep near her!! That’s crazy stuff! Ladies, keep your eyes open and let your daughters know that she can tell you if anything weird happens even if it is her father. Protect girls and boys too!
Maddie was such a beautiful little girl. My heart breaks for her, this poor child went through hell. RIP sweet girl, no more pain. Your justice is coming 🙏😢💔
I never realized I can HATE someone so much as I do Stephan Michael Sterns. Every little thing we find out about him makes me sick-recording his roommate, saving his semen in jars, and everything he’s forced upon Maddie. I hate him. 🤨
I live in Florida! Mark my words…. Jennifer will ABSOLUTELY be arrested and charged!! That is coming! There is no question about that! Florida don’t play!!!
It's just sick anyone would condone a grown a** man to cuddle with your daughter. I feel like she definitely knew more. The mother told what she was wearing but 1 of her crocs was still gone?? Please and all the other crap. Mashes me sick.
Keep the focus on Jenn, because mark my words, she is responsible. She knew about the sexual abuse, she became sick and twisted with jealousy, constantly fighting with Madeleine. The night of her birthday she fought with her, strangled her and had him move the body the next morning. They are both very much guilty of the crimes against this little girl. Jenn Soto needs to go down!!
Sounds like the mother blamed Maddie for what Sterns was doing to Maddie & she was jealous over it. I think Maddie was getting to the point where she was going to tell someone what was going on. If Sterns was abusing her while she was passed out maybe she didn't remember a lot of it. She went from being close to him to not liking him. She said he made her feel uncomfortable like that feeling was something new. He didn't make her feel uncomfortable before? Maddie stopped taking her meds which Sterns didn't know about initially so perhaps he tried something thinking she was passed out & Maddie was getting to the point of speaking out.
The asthma is a huge thing and would be a parents number one concern when sharing immediate medical concerns. Those of us with kids with asthma are always making sure they have their rescue meds and any other meds should they need it, including their neb (even purchasing a small travel size neb they are able to carry with them for emergencies. We make sure we have the meds ahead of time and a second rescue inhaler in case one runs out or gets clogged. It is no joke, and countless people die of asthma attacks every day and they are also more susceptible to catching illnesses and take a lot longer to recover from because their inflammation in the lungs as well as the meds they require causing your immune system to be less effective. The fact Jen made no mention of this says a lot to me. Then add to it everything else about this woman and you want to be the cash me ouside, how bout dat girl.
Thank you for going thru all the pages. It's heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking what Madeline lived thru, I cannot entertain the thought that NO ONE KNEW. There had to BE SOMEONE. AND her Mother should be held as accomplice. She handed her only child to a Monster, without a hint of hesitation. NO ONE that loves their child would DARE let their young daughter sleep with a GROWN MAN that's not her Dad. My daughter slept with me and her Dad, for the first 5 years of her life. She would curl up next to me, and before morning I would have a finger in my nose. Her Dad would have a toe in his nose, or A foot in his back! I would have an elbow in my face.... she rolled all over the bed! Most Dads are protective and love their daughters. They would never dream of hurting them. But StepDads and Moms boyfriend, HAVE NO BIOLOGICAL PROGRAM to love the child.
My dad is my real dad and that didnt stop him for one second. Men lie and do it behind your back while telling you they love you but something is "off" or "wrong" with the "troubled" daughter. They stick a wedge between mother and child while convincing the mom that she's not able to control the daughter so he will do it. Dont trust without a hidden camera. If nothing ever happens you can rest easy. You never have to say a word but please dont believe your husband over your daughter. Especially if she's acting out. If you take him to a councilor and they want to see you alone it's not because there's something wrong with you, maybe the therapist wants to get you alone to tell you something privately. Please don't be talked out of your suspicions. Please. Dont be jealous, he's not your man if he's doing that behind your back.
@@lorimiller4301 oh my God. I'm so sorry 😢 Most Dad's, don't. It's a sick man that does that, period. However, most Dad's are ultra protective, especially of their daughters. We couldn't sleep , with our little one in our bed. Her Dad bought her a brand new bed, we painted her room a pretty light purple, and we had to lay down with her for the first few nights, but she got used to it. We put a baby monitor in her room too. She was just babied to the point of ridiculous. She's his only biological child. So, he gave her everything, and she did no wrong. She got her way with everything, no matter what. He was killed when she was 11 years old. She misses him every minute of the day. She's 24 now, and talks about him all the time. Everyone deserves a Daddy that truly loves and protects them.
Or possible she was heavily drugged and he was trying to figure out where to end her life ( hence driving around until he got a flat tire )? Didn’t authorities use cadaver dogs on his car with no results ?
Right. He literally had a conversation with the guard at the gate! I think I would be able to recognize someone wasn't alive. Did the guard see her? She , i apologize in advance for what I am saying, be discolored, she would not have looked okay. Clearly SS escalated in his deviant behaviors.
Jen HAD to know Maddie was dead. If Jen was always the one to bring her to school, then there had to have been some conversation or something to happen for Stephen to suddenly take her to school the day she went missing. It’s all a lie. Jen is involved way more than she is letting on. I really hope they charge her too. Her entire narrative of that morning is a lie.
Has anyone else, found it STRANGE, that Jennifer called Stephan to come back after he'd been gone for a MONTH? SHE CALLED HIM TO COME BACK THAT VERY NIGHT he murdered her.... It doesn't sit right with me, that she's not been charged too. He had been doing that (sa) FOR YEARS, not been caught.... So, why did he kill her this time? So, it happened the very night Jennifer called him to come back?????
He’s probably a sociopath, they are very charismatic and charming at first, know how to love bomb you and make you believe something magical is happening. I had an ex like this and I just didn’t see it, thought he was lovely initially 🤷♀️ thankfully I never let him around my kid bc he then yelled at me my kid was retarded during one of his abusive rages. It was such a mindfuck when those colours showed and obviously we ended but I do remember how crazy charming he could be, particularly so as I’m a demisexual and usually takes me a while to form enough of an emotional connection to someone for romance. Took him maybe a day or so to have me instantly smitten
Amazing students having empathy, speaking rational thoughts about bringing perpetrators to justice..I PRAY FOR HEALING for everyone affected, except mom and perp.
Absolutely no way did her mother not know the grooming of her daughter had been going on for 5 plus years by this vile man . This is one of the most heartbreaking crimes against a minor I have ever come across ( although I know it goes on all over the world but to hear it read out point by point by G. Is terrifying) Poor Madeline if 8 years old wasn’t bad enough - 12 , 13 years of age is such a difficult tricky time for young males & females in regards to puberty and learning that these things are wrong I am wondering if perhaps his behaviour was about to be exposed by Madeline herself . Such a shame she couldn’t find a person in authority to confide in . Here in the Uk as part of the school curriculum children are taught life issues in I believe year 5 or 6 so at 10 or 11 years of age I think this is a great thing although again I believe parents can ask for their children to be excused from this . What a shame her mother couldn’t save her daughter , because I believe as I said she MUST of known something . Sleep well Madeline you did not deserve this . X x 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 😢😢
Actually I heard from Court TV, that they are thinking of charging Jenn, it’s a felony, in Florida, up to 15 years, to allow the harm of a minor, when they are the parent, Guardian. I hope they do. I know moms like this!
These crocs were supposed to be on Maddie’s feet, did Jenn not notice only 1 shoe was missing and the other was at her house still?! I’m confused! How the hell did Jenn not know something bad happened to her daughter and Stephen was involved ?!
well, part 3 was taken down. I was halfway through watching it. hopefully it will be resolved. I am thankful for your content and for giving trigger warnings.
Thankyou G for all you do and all the hard work you put into every live stream or all your Presentations Jen soto needs to be held accountable for at least neglect or child endangerment and for being a liar..imo RIP Maddie 🎉🤸🫶
1:42:11 and. He openly admits to being an adderall addict. And they have evidence of her being assaulted while completely passed out. I also have a suspicion that he was telling Madeline that she was his real girlfriend. He probably made her crazy promises and he probably talked bad about her mother. Which would have made the normal teenage angst even worse. Especially if he was saying things in her ear like, your mom is jealous of you, etc etc.
So they were separated! They were not living together! He is not Madeline’s real father! Still she allows him to come over, sleep in the bed with her young daughter, “taking her to school! Being alone with her ALL THE TIME!!?? 😡😡😡
I truly believe stephan pitted maddie against her mother Kind of like stephan and Maddie against Jen Maddie was the preferred "partner" in stephan's eyes.
Madeline Soto dad is a freaking punk he knew what was going on with his daughter and didn't want to take care of her...he never wanted her...poor Madeline the unforgotten the unwanted and the unloved little girl nobody wasted...shame on the grandparents and aunts cousins and of course the sorry a....mom
Thank you, G. This is the safest place to hear this horrific story. That poor child needed a mommy who cared. It is just so horrendously sad. 😢 My heart breaks for that strong, sweet, baby girl. ❤😢🙏

Beautiful child
You canmot read into every single thing as incriminating...Many parents are strict and will not allow their kids to do sleepovers EVER..anywhere. . Smart.
Thank you for the timestamps love
Jenn did nothing at all.. nothing.. to help her daughter. All Ds and Fs and Jenn doesn't even show for parent teacher meetings, no tutoring.. no-thing!
Jeeze, Maddie only ate bc mom wanted food for her own selfish self. Loser!
Did YT delete Part 3 of the series? I was in the middle of watching it and came back after a short break with a message "video removed because of bullying & harassment"?
The more I hear about Jenn Soto the more I scratch my head that shes not behind bars
Much like Melanie Pawlowski !
I think the Detective’s are just making sure before an arrest is made.
she makes me so mad I am phychically shaking and sick she is truly a pos
I personally feel they don’t have a 200% case without Jen working with them. I think she’ll be charged later
Her Biological Father is just as guilty( IMP) He only seen Maddie occasionally. If he was more active she might of been able to tell him! But he was not her safe place SO TO ME He is GUILTY ALSO!! He moved on to Texas with his new wife! So whenever I see him in interviews he makes me sick also! EVERY ADULT IN HER LIFE FAILED HER EVERYONE
@@suzaneejohnson2191I concur. Honestly don't think either of them are prosecutable, but they both should be for negligence. But if they change the laws to prosecute every absentee parent, they'd have to build about 5000 new jails & prisons. There's some horrible parents out there.
My daughter is twelve. I’ve been with my fiancé for 7 years and would never allow her to sleep with us or under any circumstance with him alone. If anyone questions why, this case is exactly why. When she wants to cuddle, I cuddle in her bed with just the 2 of us. It’s not because I don’t trust him, it’s because it’s absolutely inappropriate! Her mother failed to protect her in my opinion. An innocent little girl lost her life in the hands of a monster. Life or death is the closest justice possible and her mother is partly responsible. Breaks my heart! This could have been prevented!
Right?! My partner has been my daughter's dad since she was 2 years old and there is just no way I would send my daughter to sleep with my partner in a different bed. I mean its damn weird that Madeleine would be sleeping with her parental figures at this age - I mean, how would they have sex with a child constantly in the room and the whole thing stinks. There are just certain things a male, whether biological father or not, shouldn't do with a female child - such as helping them in the bath for example. They should both be in jail!
@@dawnatkinson7704Isn't it sad though that all of us has to go through life like this? Because of these perverted evil mofos?! I understand that we have to be very careful who we can trust with our children but it is very sad😢
Agreed.
No dude in his right mind would ever suggest or agree to sleeping with a child even with permission from the mother and no sexual intent
Yeah, just the fact Stephan was okay with sleeping in a room alone with his stepdaughter is a huge red flag. If I was in that situation I'd just say "no, I don't think that's appropriate". Appropriateness aside, I wouldn't want to share a room with a little kid, girl or boy. That sounds like it'd be annoying for both of us. The whole situation is just icky.
Now, you are free Madeline.
You are SAFE, AND FREE TO BE a kid.
You cannot be harmed ever again.
God will have His Vengeance.
I only hope that when stephan gets death, that he's not able to find Maddie in the afterlife. 😢
Still... that's an awfully high price to pay for peace. It doesn't diminish the fact that her LIFE (and her innocence) were stolen from her.
💜🕊
Her blood cries out to the heavenly father for vengeance she at the moment is aware of nothing. She is asleep until the great day of resurrection. She will live her life in the thousand years millennium. The first will be the last and the last will be first. She will have 1000 years with no memory of her past.. as a Christian I am thankful that I have heavenly father to thank every day for the promise that he is given all of us. To live on earth in Paradise.. Madalyn your life was short in this day and age but the promise to you is you will be resurrected and the heavenly father has noted in his big book the injustice that was put upon you. We all love you Maddy. I wish you were here that we could tell you that. Instead we will be the gatekeepers to make sure Stephen Stern loses his life so that he may stand in front of the heavenly father and be judged. Thank you JessieFyfe your words touching me this morning ….
@freethgvng2559 they are going in 2 different directions. He won't see her where he is going.
Sadly there is ZERO evidence of a god or gods so no she isn't in heaven however she is at peace in the sense she is no longer here to endure the abuse.
So much sadder and why it's so important Stephen and Jenn are punished for their crimes in this one and only life.
Maddie was keeping terrible secrets inside . her mother needs to be held accountable .
I know a few people that were abused as kids , no one knew , they could not speak and it went undetected for years other than behaviour issues that can be just associated with growing up and puberty , until they reached adulthood they finally had words and were able to speak up ..its not always easy to detect , anything can be creating behaviour issues in a child ..such as a divorce , changing school because of a move , being bullied and so many other things …and manipulators and abusers are good at what they do , i went through so many types of abuse while growing up ..not sexual abuse thank god ..but i never shared it with anyone , because we did not know what was supposed to be normal or not …..its not all black and white ! ☮️
No wonder the poor girl was so sick all the time. And her mother having her on a.d.h.d drugs, shame on her. I think the mother should of been on some kind of drug. Theirs something wrong with this woman you can tell by her looks, maybe just me but she just doesn't look right. He could get the death penalty for S.A. There were definitely signs of S.A when she spoke to certain people so sad this case is. 😢😢
@@traceybarnett8829 What are you even talking about? Shame on her for letting the doctors treat her for a disorder??? I've had ADHD my whole life and I can't even begin to tell you how hard it is, especially when your parents don't take it seriously and listen to what the doctors say. My life would have been much better had I been treated sooner. This Mother did a lot wrong, but having her kid treated for a neurodevelopmental disorder is not one of them. Ya'll just want to talk so much crap on this woman and completely ignore the actual monster.
Maddie seemed to be unaware of the abuse . She was being drugged for years .😢
What about Maddie’s grandmother. Didn’t she care or love Maddie. I mean grandmothers love their granddaughters! No one cared…not 1 person. No emotion whatsoever!! 😢😢 monstrous!
Jen needs to be IN JAIL!!! “Grieving “ is not enough for what she allowed to her daughter!!! Ignorance is not a defense!
She won't
What are they going to charge her with tho? Being daft? I doubt that would happen
Covering for him is the most she could be charged with...or maybe child neglect
How about child neglect and endangerment!
How about accessory or conspiracy?
Another Jenn lie! She said she talked to Maddie on the night of her party and Maddie told her she loved ALL her presents and was very happy. That horrible woman made that conversation up!
Yessss^ she did say that and always switching up. She also said she didn't see Maddy in the morning but when talking to the police when reporting her missing, she corrected Stephan when he said she had on a blue shirt and black pants , then Jen said no they were black shorts but she said she slept in til 9am and didn't see her that morning. So many lies. She's fn guilty
@@galaxxyeclipse6193👍
I knew immediately because she was shrugging her shoulders when saying that. Conversation never happened.
@@galaxxyeclipse6193
Yes, she corrected him on what she was wearing. That means she saw her before he left with her that morning.
So, the question is, when did she pass? Before he loaded her into the car or on the way to school???

Can these investigators go to Tennessee and teach those investigators how to find missing kids?? Please 🙏 Poor Sebastian Rogers and Summer Wells deserve justice ⚖️
In tn from lived in Florida for 20 yrs born and raised here. You are totally right. Tn law enforcement is a good old boy joke.
School age children are very vulnerable. I cannot understand how Maddie fell through so many nets listening to her teachers describe a very troubled neglected child. A child excessively tired, sleeping in class, it should be mandatory for a class teacher to speak to the parent. When a child describes a mother's boyfriend as wierd, saying she doesn't like him, it should be mandatory for that teacher to follow up, contacting mom etc,. Society continues to fail children when there are no safe spaces for them to speak out in a warm receptive enviornment that helps empower troubled children to speak out with confidence to trusted adults.
Yeah and now abusers have a way out through "home schooling" and problem is the system knows its used widely to hide abuse. Im dealing w this now w my nephews. Their drug addicted mother pulls them out bc she cant keep them in school w clean clothes or awake tht early. Then does absolutely nothing as far as "home schooling" yet nothing can be done?? What till one is dead? The system is SCREWED!!!
Although, teachers are mandated reporters and when they see these signs they HAVE to report to CPS. Theres where the problems arise. Cps is ass backwards and is only concerned about the money it cqn make and not whats best for the kids. Ive been a foster mom and it broke me seeing how the system is. They call to set up appts w the parents tht are being investigated. Who in their right minds are, 1 going to answer and set up appt or 2, not clean up and be prepared for the appt??
@@jennifers.3818that’s not true the teachers can’t report straight to cps, not in my country anyway. The protocol is if a teacher notices something they report it to a higher up. They in turn report it to a higher up and so on. The issue is either lost in translation or covered up because it makes the school look bad that they can’t intervene in a domestic situation. When I was a girl tho, just a word from the teacher got the head on the phone bellyaching my mum and report go social services, and I get hauled into the heads office crying as she ordered me to strip and bathed me then dressed me in clothes from lost property. My problems were bed wetting, unkempt , smelly and unwashed, most days no packed lunch and selective mutism. I remember the social service appointments, my mum sweet talked them into I was the problem child. It wasn’t poverty my dad had a very well paid job but my mum controlled all finances and it was all about her and her affairs which led to frightening situations. That was in the70s, but now teachers and caregivers have no powers to interfere for fear of losing their jobs. An anonymous call from a neighbour would do better.
Strongly agree
Don't mistake stalker behavior Stephan did to Maddie for 'a close relationship.' Her friend might've assumed that's what that meant, because he was texting and calling her all the time, but that's stalker behavior, and maybe Maddie didn't want to say anything.
So triggering, my mom's bf kidnapped me after i met him once, age 11, and then he moved in.
I hated him, but was completely terrified and frozen. They threaten you and they love bomb you. He would buy me things i hated, but it confused me. I just don't want anyone to think Maddie felt close to this guy. It's possible, with Stockholm Syndrome, but for me, i just didn't know a way out, so i just lived with it and was too afraid to tell. I can't believe Maddie liked him. I finally told, and all hell broke loose at age 14, but he promised my mom he would never do it again and she forgave him.
I wonder how close i came to being murdered when i look at Maddie's story. I bet she never thought he would kill her. That thought never entered my mind, but he hated me for a long time after i told on him.
They sent me away to live with his brother, who i had never met, for a month, and even my bishop at church told me to just try harder not to get alone with him. So it all got blamed on me.
His brother turned out to be a very kind man, one of the best months of my life and I'm eternally grateful he wasn't like his brother. He never knew, i never told him.
Maddie, RIP little angel.😢
Omg, thats horrific. Im so glad you got out with your life. I can't say safely, bc unfortunately, you weren't safe emotionally or mentally. Did you keep the relationship with your mother after you became an adult? I can understand how difficult it would be to forgive her for her actions. I hope you've been able to heal from the trauma, at least somewhat. Sending virtual hugs ❤
I'm so sorry you went through that!
This is horrific. I am so sorry you had to go through this. Maddie had reason to be too scared to talk. He more than likely threatened her, and knowing the outcome, she had good reason to believe those threats as he did end up taking her life. I am so glad you are here with us, you are very brave for speaking up and you are very brave for simply going through everything you’ve been through, and still being a good person. I hope you are healing well, and I hope your life is going well.
😢
Although I don’t know you
I am happy that you are alive.
Oh sweet girl. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
I'm so glad you survived. No child deserves that type of treatment.
I hope you are happy and loved 💙
The scratches on his hands and wrists was her fighting for her life .......
😢😭💔
😢😢😢😢
Natural reflex when being strangled. Smh. I have as much anger towards Jen as I do Stephen, since this was so avoidable. And happening from 8-13? You can’t ever convince me Jen did not know and condone it, even encourage it. Disowning your child? She is the trashiest bish, just as demented as Stephen is. I also wouldn’t be shocked if she is seen in video or photos of the SA.
@user-ei4ty3xq9d I know right. She was probably asleep with her sleep medicine . Who knows right . She did NOT protect her daughter . how very sad 😢
@user-ei4ty3xq9dyou can’t yell if being strangled. 😢
“There is still gonna be a hole in ppls hearts but it might close it to get justice.” What a mature thing to say coming from someone so young.
I was very impressed 👍
We need PSAs aimed at teen girls and boys educating them about the dangers faced by young children and the need for both parents to stay closely involved regardless of relationship status.
Only thing u can do is educate your kids and any kid u come in contact with 😢
We need single mothers to not send their daughters to share a bed with their boyfriend's.
We also need absent fathers to at least get to know their daughter.
Unless good ole dad is their abuser. My ex tormented our daughter until she was 4 and could finally tell me. The only reason he's still alive is because I had no one else to take care of my children while I did time. They are adults and haven't seen him in years. The children also changed their names. They want nothing to do with him.
But also not just stranger danger since that’s rarely the person in question and educating children and parents that females and children are also very prevalent when it comes to SA and other abvses. It’s naive and dangerous to just look at men as a possible danger. Parents fail often times so it would be good to have PSA and schools teaching, but it does lay solely on the parents in the grand scheme of things since they are ultimately responsible for their children’s safety and well being. Outside education is only a bonus and can help those kids without well meaning or involved parents.
I love how Sterns said that Maddie was such a happy child.He is just as delusional as Jen is.What kid would prefer to live in the woods,rather than live at home.Home was Hell for this poor child!
Eileen Wournos went and lived in the woods at 12yo to escape her abuse.
@@HumanimalChannel And look how great that turned out for her!
It's pretty telling that she would have preferred to take her chances with the alligators and water moccasins.
OTOH, there are other reasons why a kid might dream of living in the woods: when I was Maddie's age, that's what I fantasized about. I was a fan of Jean Craighead George (My Side of the Mountain, Julie of the Wolves) and I pored over Euell Gibbons' National Geographic articles and Bradford Angier's How To Stay Alive in the Woods by the hour. And I had a cushy life with wonderful parents, although at the time I thought my mom was overprotective and smothering.
More than delusional I'd say he is a pathological liar.
Maddie being mad at her mom and complaining about her mom to friends makes perfect sense to me. I at times hated my mother for things she “ignored” or was oblivious to because I knew in my heart she knew what was happening but was too afraid to be alone or how the abusive pedo would react if confronted because he was extremely physically abusive as well. Thank you for your coverage of this sensitive material. Very respectful ❤
I’m sorry Angela you deserved much better.
My daughter is 12 right now. I would be going absolutely crazy if she went missing. This whole story makes me cry. It's hard to watch sometimes.
My daughter is 27, I would as well if she was missing for 12hrs. I dnt understand the mother
@@jennifers.3818 it's almost as if she's in complete denial and the severity hasn't set it fully yet. I don't know how else to explain her behavior.
Yup! I got a 13 year old daughter and would be losing my mind if she ever went missing.
The crock that was left in the house is VERY TELLING! I am 💯 convinced she was killed inside the home the night before he dumped her!
Me too! I also think Jen might have known that night
@@wondertwin13all speculation
@@andrebailey6676I find it very strange so many almost only focus on the mother...We all agree she was a terrible mother letting her little kid sleep with the monster. However, he's the one taking her childhood, he's the one molesting her, he's the one mundering her. There is evidence all over the place he did this. No where have we read or seen the mother did it, until possible evidence is presented pointing at her, or that she helped, I think focus should be on the monster Sterns. It could actually be in his favour if people are shifting focus, do we want him to have favours?..I know I don't, I want justice for poor little Madeline.
@@anniezion I agree I believe she was abused physically and emotionally and mental
I’m pretty sure the other croc was found at crime scene
Regarding her “sleepy days” at school. We know that Stephan had photos of her taken “when she was asleep”. It’s obvious now that she wasn’t “asleep”. She was drugged. He drugged her so he could take photos of her. Then, the next day at school, she was still under the influence of the drugs. Poor girl. I wish the teachers had picked up on it.
Could be. But.......When I was s/abused, I faked being asleep many times, in hope that he would stop or to help me get through it.
It is another possibility.
I was thinking the same thing, that he drugged her and did his filthy evil deeds.
Young children that are abused can frequently be seen as “tired, sleepy, daydreaming” ( speaking from PERSONAL experience)
These days (I’m almost 60) I can fully imagine that where I was described as being flaky or daydreaming “ these day it may be analyzed as “ADHD”
Poor Maddie she was likely disassociating or splitting
@@soniamichael7839wow... So sorry you had to go through that. I never even thought of that as a possibility but makes so much sense that she was constantly trying to escape her reality. OMfg that gave me the worst skin crawling hair standing on end feeling. And for years?! Horrendous. Absolutely horrendous.
@@BrittneyVignerithank you :-)
It reminded me so much of my school reports “Sonia daydreams in class”
Hyper-vigilance is exhausting as a child as well as the splitting effect of having to absorb fundamental emotional betrayal/love/physical hurt …. And just going to school … homework… peer and age appropriate socialization and interaction
The only way to cope for the child brain is to escape
Once an adult it becomes learning that you are a separate identity with rights and the fight to own yours and not behave endlessly in people pleasing behaviour as well as healing from your experiences
That is thoroughly exhausting m
Poor Maddie 😭😭😭
I’m here and living my negotiated life. I’ve had the time to heal and live.
Not only did he abuse her he killed her possibility of any life. So he didn’t get caught…. Only to OBVIOUSLY be caught
He is lower than excrement
The students comments were so sweet. What a cute kid. And wise words. Agreed justice for Madeline! Arrest her mother.
Her little friends break my heart. They loved their friend Maddie. This is probably so confusing for them.
These kids spoke about Madeline so sweetly and thoughtfully. Bless them 🙏
Those children captured my heart and I reminded everyone of them .They have not been shown enough and I thank her for showing them but it's not complete for whatever reason.Those children are the future and all adults are responsible for them .
But none showed up for her birthday.
Brings tears to my eyes every time I see her precious photos ; she was granted custody to the wrong parent. Rest in Peace in God's loving arms Madeline.
Her biological father failed her too. He didn't care. He must have signed resignation paper if he moved away and paid child support. Everyone failed her. I hope her mother gets charged
@@Kay091-ew3qiDo you know the father?
@@Kay091-ew3qi he paid child support, he obviously didnt sign any "resignation" papers. A parent can move to another state and still love and be involved in their child's life
@@jennifers.3818Sorry, but moving to another state when your daughter is so young is not being a parent. He failed his daughter.
@ms.emotions Parents move to a different state all the time. That doesn't mean he failed, Maddie! Maddie's dad is a victim here.
Maddie was improving in *everything* as soon as Stephan Sterns is gone. More energy, more social, more confidence, etc. As soon as he comes back, she’s dead. 🙄
This poor girl had no chance, no one to turn to😢😢😢
And even getting along better with her mom
!!! Sometimes predators create conflict between parents and children so when and if victim says the parent deems the not credible or as "causing issues"
Or to be the one who is perceived understanding of the kid and make them more vulnerable
Just as they do in adult domestic abuse situations I guess. They alienate the victims so their the only person they feel they can turn to 😢
100%. This is how my abuser operated.
I wonder if he will ask for a happy meal his last meal in deathrow😂
Having a revolving door at your home when you have a young daughter living there is SO CRAZY! And so DANGEROUS!
No telling how many others abused this poor girl 😩💔😩
That's what came to my mind too! 😢
Yes. And why did she need roommates when her father was paying her rent?!
@@deborahpoole9710He wasn't paying her rent. He was charging her rent.
We don’t know until we know. Gisela, your integrity is impeccable, and you’re helping others to realize we have to keep grounded and rely on the facts. Police have done a fantastic job; I trust whatever they are doing in their investigation is for Madeline 💖.
Please do that right thing Floridians. Please show the rest of the U.S.A. what real justice is.
I’m so sorry for you sweet little Madeline. Your beautiful life was stolen❤ I pray her family gets justice.
It is said a person dies once when no one says their name anymore. Remember Madeline, forget Stephen's name
May his name be blotted out.
Why would one open their home to rent "rooms" to strangers while you've to worry about the safety of your own child... wtf jen
Right
I'm wondering does this mean Madeline didn't have a room of own? That apartment had 4 rooms??
Yeah that’s wild to me, especially if Maddie slept in the living room? (I’m still trying to figure out of the makeshift room was hers or sterns’) why would she bring strangers into her home with her teenaged daughter vulnerable like that in the living room? Like wtf lady
She couldn’t afford to live on her own and is why she took the rapist back
@@traceyparrett7683 yup!
The friend saying she didn’t get the morning texts is proof enough for me she was dead the night before or early hours of the following day. Heartbreaking. There is no rock bottom for predators like baby boy. They will sink lower until they’re stopped. Regardless of Jen’s involvement and the glaring issues, shame on her for alienating her daughter…setting her up to keep the secret she never deserved to have 😢
Agreed. I KNEW it was shifty as soon as she said she'd 'forgotten' her phone - just no way is that likely in this day and age. Especially this generation - the phone is an extension of their body practically.
Also proof mom was lying about seeing her getting dressed tht morning!!
He’s a demon
He's a person who was most likely past a demon when he was a young boy.
It waits patiently while subtlety influencing the victim to become a perpetrator. Hence, the demon passes from one to another.
I've seen Gordon Flowers in action, and some of them cry. They don't know why they do it, and they can't stop themselves.
As a society, we need to do something one way or another.
Giving no option leaves our babies unprotected.
There needs to be shelters like for women but with no children allowed.
The stuff they can access online has to be acknowledged as a huge part of the problem.
Remember, demons are electrical. Why do you think they push tv so hard as well as computers ?
I found Gordon on PP Eastcoast Texas if i recall but he's on a number of channels. His real name is Alex Rosen. He deserves support for all he does. ❤
This might not have been the first time Sterns has done this. Living in two different places is food for thought 🤔🤔🤔
I cannot stress enough to teachers.... when kids aren't turning in their homework, it should never be glossed over.
Teachers know this. They either ignore it or punish the child.
Doesn’t necessarily mean anything wrong. My kids are adhd and don’t remember to. It’s frustrating
I was a great student until partway through my 4th grade year. Which was when my cousins started SA ing me.
No one caught it, and I showed all the signs
@@KimberlyMayo-u8h Yes, but hopefully the teachers know that.
If a parent had a lion in their home and that lion killed their child the parent would be held responsible. Because it is a parent’s responsibility to protect their children from predators/dangers. So, if a parent brings a stranger into their home and that stranger killed their child why aren’t the parents just as responsible? The parent has the responsibility to background ck, monitor what’s going on in the home, talking to the children, investigating unusual activity. That stranger/boyfriend/girlfriend isn’t the child’s friend/babysitter/parent. They have no business taking care of your children. They should not be left alone/transport/discipline your child. You are getting to know this person . It takes years to trust someone with the most precious thing you will ever have in your life. The mother should have known or did known about this man and failed to protect her child. She should be held just as responsible for her death.
I was single when my children were young and I ran back ground ck on everyone. No man was allowed in my home when I wasn’t there. No man ever stayed the night when my children were there. I did remarry and never did I allow my new partner to discipline my children babysit my children or ever be alone with them. Not because I didn’t trust him but because my children our my responsibility and their father’s responsibility. If I wasn’t home my parents or their father had them. Not my boyfriends or my new husband.
This is such a wise analogy. Just so true. 🎯 Poor, poor Maddy 😔
As much as I understand how you feel, it wasn't a lion, it was another humanbeing. If they don't find any proof of her knowing about what he was doing to madeline or being involved in her being murdered then they have nothing to charge her on. Obviously I agree with you, she's a pos, horrible mother and should never be round children again. But from all the info we have available right now, what has she done that's illegal?
Thos guy was had friends and was around their kids as well and they had no idea either apparently. I heard some interviews with people who he was apparently friends with.
I call BS on anyone that thinks mom didn’t know what this man was doing. What parent would allow a man to sleep in the same bed same room as their child? For the amount of “stuff” found on his phone and the amount of time it would take to make all that “stuff” someone with any parental responsibility would have figured out something wasn’t right. Let’s go back to her parental responsibility. If she was monitoring her child for safety, at all, she would have found out years ago. The problem with this situation is the mother didn’t care about her child, didn’t take the responsibility for her child so that makes her 100% responsible for what happened to her. She deserves the same life sentence or death penalty as he does.
I bet if “Mother” had a stack of gold she would put it in a safe or bank and she would lock it up. She would keep it safe. Her daughter was worth more than that stack of gold and she did nothing to protect her.
@@44LillPuffinyou’re right he is a human. But, what animal kills more children each year a lion or a human? Yep a human. So, I would be more concerned about letting a human near my child.
The fact that SS had the audacity to chime in when the police asked Jen what Maddie weighed after knowing he was carrying her body is just beyond creepy
Yep he was like trying to get it down to the pound
The fact that you inserted the word ‘micro’ into these documents is really all I need to know about Grizzly True Crime….simply the best 😂👍🙏😭
I bet Stephan Sterns purposely causes issues between Maddie and Jen so that Maddie would run to HIM for “comfort and support” 😠 uggghhh I hate that dude.
Yeaaaah….my husband, who is our 13 year old daughter’s biological father as well, wouldn’t even do this. Long before this case, he and I discussed a round about date that he would stop doing certain things just as a father with a growing daughter. Our daughter has never been a co-sleeper, but it’s just not something that is appropriate after a certain age.
Rumours are Maddie was strangled. That explains those scratches on the back of his hands. Poor baby didn’t have a chance!
These poor kids, learning the dark side of life way too early. Breaks my heart❤
You said it agree we adults have to make it our mission to show we all children they can feel safe tell us if they are in a bad situation. ❤❤❤❤❤MY promise to Madeline Soto
G….the Soto house was a shared accommodation at one time hence the room numbers on the doors. This is why they say “room mate” they mean housemate. Madeline’s makeshift bedroom was downstairs because her mother was renting out her bedroom. I think this is how SS came to be involved with the Soto family. He was renting one of the rooms (4) He saw the perfect opportunity to groom the mother to get to the child. Jenn is as guilty as SS as far as I’m concerned!
Exactly,
She told her friends she was wearing makeup so they wouldn’t realize she had been crying. Think about that and how she had to hold all this horrible abvse in for 5 years. Kids always fine a way to blame themselves for adults horrific behaviors and all victims feel a sense of shame and responsibility, being less likely to tell a friend, teacher, other parent what they are going through. I just can’t imagine what all she endured on her own, and yet she went on every day as of life wasn’t a living h3ll as soon as she walked out that school door every single day. She put a smile on and just told people asking she was wearing blush or eyeliner to cover up for what Jen and Stephen allowed to be done to her. Smh💔🙏🏽RIP sweet Maddie.
Well said!
You are the best at covering all of these cases. Thank you. You are so polite and respectful ❤️
The other crock (shoe) left at home cause that's where I believe maddie passed at the home. He drove around with maddie all nite wee hours of morning. Like, how they were going for special breakfast at mc Donald's. Then, stephan gave her a Danish he had... so he said....she was already unalived. Early am hours dumping her backpack n lap top in dumpster. Ccts shows maddie in front seat, slumped with her mouth open. Now where was Jen from 10 pm till 8am the next morning. This happened in the home, Jen Knows!
One shoe off is a fetish - look at the Heuremann case.
She at least absolutely knew she didnt see her getting ready for school!
Oh no. She was killed in her own home, or possibly in a hotel room, placed in Mom's car, moved around, then moved to the step father's car, moved around, then, disposed of.
I can't help but feel like SS is a Demon.
Madeline, Darling Girl, you are close to God's heart now.
It's pretty astonishing that several people knew about his proclivities when he was way younger. S lived with a few friends in a house for several years that S's father owned. They knew. His mother paid someone( the roomate)off after he found a folder on the house internet that S had filmed of HIS girlfriend (the roomates) coming out of the bathroom after showering etc. Also there was Cp on that folder. So the mother knew, his friends knew and he even dated young girls when he was a teen and in his early 20's. I unfortunately think S is quite common in his predatory behavior for repeat offenders they often date mothers with young children. There's no fixing this depravity exhibited from these predators. They should all be locked permanently. They can never be rehabilitated. Everyone knows it. GH has S's friends that have called in and explained alot of the background of S. Also, some were in contact with up until the beginning of this year. Poor Maddie was probably groomed to such a terrible degree because The mother literally threw her daughter at S. She's deserving of some abuse charges her self.
Jen also lied she saw Maddy getting dressed for school, she was already dead. Jen lied about she was with him dropping her off for school. Jen needs charges against her.
Chemical or surgical castration
Are you saying this channel, Grizzly, has videos/audio of his friends calling in to discuss his past?? I haven't seen those, if so, I'll have to find them. Do you know if they're a part of a longer video? If so, do you know what they may be titled or dated?
Doesn't matter who knew, our justice system does nothing to these pedophiles until something like this happens
@@sj9410 That's because it goes to the top. Jimmy Savile was best friends with Charles. His favourite uncle Mountbatten was into boys.
On and on it goes. They take them out on boats. This is happening all over the world.
I really appreciate how you present true crime. Every case you make it palatable for such horrific crimes and methodical so it’s easy to understand the timeline and facts, leaving out all the conspiracy, rumors and speculation creators go wild on, exploiting these victims and their families.💔 You have one of the few most respectful and accurate channels of all TC channels/podcasts, which is why you are an excellent source for information as well as professional with very high standards so you don’t do the victims wrong. Can’t say enough about your work and professionalism.
I also wonder if she got misdiagnosed for bipolar, based on the behavior of a child victim. You can see how bipolar symptoms and going through such horrible, ongoing abuse could mimic one another at times. When she stopped those meds, she probably had a clear head for the first time she could remember, and because she was at grandmas and not being abused or drugged with tranquilizers. We saw how often Stephen referred to tranquilizers, so he obviously utilized them a lot and not on himself.
So awesome to see an SA page do so well! Represent sister! Brilliant work! Thank you 🙏
Well done Gizela. Amazing representative of all us SAFAS
How did Jenn not know that Madaline wasn’t wearing her white crocs when she left for school supposedly! She snot check her house or Maddie’s room for her shoes and items of clothes that were missing ?! How could Jenn not know that Maddy left for school with none of her shoes?! Or left with 1 croc only!? Is this not suspicious?! What is wrong with Jenn?!
Rest in God's love Maddie 🙏
I swear this reminds me of those situations where the mom interprets the abuse as an affair.
EXACTLY!! And the mother is jealous of her daughter
Exactly and you would think a grown woman would have common sense to know that as a child you cannot initiate a relationship with an older person. That’s absolutely impossible. A child doesn’t just know to do certain things therefore they either were groomed into those things or are being abused. Either way she lacks common sense and that’s what’s infuriating!
Maddie was used by Jenn as bait for Sterns… Jenn knew Sterns was abusing Maddie and this kept Sterns interested (wanting to be near Maddie)in Jenn….gross.
That poor baby girl. :(
Hearing what her teachers & peers had to say about her demeanor in her day to day makes this story so much more horrific. That baby girl had to keep so much inside. I can't believe monsters like that creature walk among us. No more pain Madeline.
If I was Jenn, I’d be freaking out and asking the detectives why they are showing me photos of pen!ses. But in typical Jenn fashion, she just casually answers the questions. Help me Rhonda! 😠
She also laughed when the policeman said you’d be surprised ( Re tattoos) when they were asking about disguising body marks. I mean seriously you’re being asked about your kids body marks for identification purposes and you can crack a smile?? Let alone a laugh! The policeman wasn’t even joking he was just saying you’d be surprised. She was certainly not upset at that point about Madeline at all. Big 🚩
I am in SA. I really have to say; I follow a ton of great RUclipsrs. There aren't any quite like you! You are just SO articulate, objective, unbiased, thorough, professional, and just an all round star in my eyes. Love your work XXX
Brothel rooms, trick rooms, s-- rooms, motel, hotel, these are usually numbered doors.
Never thought of that 😮
And maybe also Air BNB
Either way
It is so neglectful to have people in and out of your house w a 12 you girl there.
I'm SURE Madeline's daddy would have bought anything she needed.
Jen put everyone, including scum stephan, before her daughter
She rented the rooms to others for living, not short term stays. The roommates were interviewed
@@Southernheathen13 I've tenants and my DOORS ARE NOT NUMBERED!
And isn't this subletting? Is it legal in fla.
Any mention of Madeline's night clothes? She would not have slept in jeans and a hoodie? If crime happened early hours, which monster dressed her? Poor child suffered one gross indignity after another.
Maybe she never went to bed that night. He terminated her before it got to that point.
They found a dress and underwear near her body. Probably what she wore to the party. He changed her after he unalived her.
Can someone elaborate on this story that I heard where Stern’s parents paid off roommates for not reporting him for CSAM possession? If so, they are also part of the problem and should feel tremendous shame.
CSAM?
@@mintpattyChild blank blank material
@prlove100 child s@# abuse material. It is the new word for child corn. It was changed to reframe what is occurring as a nonconsentual abuse rather than the child being a willing participant.
How come the roommates at Maddie’s house were not interviewed and did they notice anything weird!!!
My husband would not even go in to my daughter’s room if she was not in the house! Let alone when she is in the room! And definitely he wouldn’t sleep near her!! That’s crazy stuff!
Ladies, keep your eyes open and let your daughters know that she can tell you if anything weird happens even if it is her father. Protect girls and boys too!
Was she not his daughter?
@@jennifers.3818 no
@@jennifers.3818 No she is not
Maddie was such a beautiful little girl. My heart breaks for her, this poor child went through hell. RIP sweet girl, no more pain. Your justice is coming 🙏😢💔
I never realized I can HATE someone so much as I do Stephan Michael Sterns. Every little thing we find out about him makes me sick-recording his roommate, saving his semen in jars, and everything he’s forced upon Maddie. I hate him. 🤨
Saving semen in jars? Where did you hear this???😫
Oh my Lord
In my opinion nobody protected that child. Her mother didn't, her bio father didn't The Stranger in the house didn't
I live in Florida!
Mark my words….
Jennifer will ABSOLUTELY be arrested and charged!!
That is coming! There is no question about that!
Florida don’t play!!!
She has to be to shown children we won't tolerate this.
If it takes a community to raise a child .
It also takes a community to abuse one .
It's just sick anyone would condone a grown a** man to cuddle with your daughter. I feel like she definitely knew more. The mother told what she was wearing but 1 of her crocs was still gone?? Please and all the other crap. Mashes me sick.
She has no excuse for making Madeleine sleep with that FPOS.
I think you're going to be very disappointed. She has most likely been cleared
Keep the focus on Jenn, because mark my words, she is responsible. She knew about the sexual abuse, she became sick and twisted with jealousy, constantly fighting with Madeleine. The night of her birthday she fought with her, strangled her and had him move the body the next morning. They are both very much guilty of the crimes against this little girl. Jenn Soto needs to go down!!
SS had the scratches on his hands not Jen . I think she’s involved in the cover up definitely and lies with ease ! Lock her up !
Sounds like the mother blamed Maddie for what Sterns was doing to Maddie & she was jealous over it. I think Maddie was getting to the point where she was going to tell someone what was going on. If Sterns was abusing her while she was passed out maybe she didn't remember a lot of it. She went from being close to him to not liking him. She said he made her feel uncomfortable like that feeling was something new. He didn't make her feel uncomfortable before? Maddie stopped taking her meds which Sterns didn't know about initially so perhaps he tried something thinking she was passed out & Maddie was getting to the point of speaking out.
The kids in the beginning made me tear up- what sweet kids. Justice to close the hole in hearts just a little bit. 😢
The asthma is a huge thing and would be a parents number one concern when sharing immediate medical concerns. Those of us with kids with asthma are always making sure they have their rescue meds and any other meds should they need it, including their neb (even purchasing a small travel size neb they are able to carry with them for emergencies. We make sure we have the meds ahead of time and a second rescue inhaler in case one runs out or gets clogged. It is no joke, and countless people die of asthma attacks every day and they are also more susceptible to catching illnesses and take a lot longer to recover from because their inflammation in the lungs as well as the meds they require causing your immune system to be less effective. The fact Jen made no mention of this says a lot to me. Then add to it everything else about this woman and you want to be the cash me ouside, how bout dat girl.
Exactly! What parent wouldn't discuss LIFE SAVING medicine?
@grizzlytruecrime What happened to Day 3 ? I was watching it live and had to step away, came back to finish watching and it’s gone??
Thank you for going thru all the pages.
It's heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking what Madeline lived thru, I cannot entertain the thought that NO ONE KNEW.
There had to BE SOMEONE.
AND her Mother should be held as accomplice. She handed her only child to a Monster, without a hint of hesitation.
NO ONE that loves their child would DARE let their young daughter sleep with a GROWN MAN that's not her Dad.
My daughter slept with me and her Dad, for the first 5 years of her life. She would curl up next to me, and before morning I would have a finger in my nose. Her Dad would have a toe in his nose, or A foot in his back! I would have an elbow in my face....
she rolled all over the bed! Most Dads are protective and love their daughters. They would never dream of hurting them.
But StepDads and Moms boyfriend, HAVE NO BIOLOGICAL PROGRAM to love the child.
So true
My dad is my real dad and that didnt stop him for one second.
Men lie and do it behind your back while telling you they love you but something is "off" or "wrong" with the "troubled" daughter.
They stick a wedge between mother and child while convincing the mom that she's not able to control the daughter so he will do it.
Dont trust without a hidden camera. If nothing ever happens you can rest easy. You never have to say a word but please dont believe your husband over your daughter. Especially if she's acting out.
If you take him to a councilor and they want to see you alone it's not because there's something wrong with you, maybe the therapist wants to get you alone to tell you something privately. Please don't be talked out of your suspicions. Please. Dont be jealous, he's not your man if he's doing that behind your back.
@@lorimiller4301 oh my God. I'm so sorry 😢
Most Dad's, don't. It's a sick man that does that, period. However, most Dad's are ultra protective, especially of their daughters.
We couldn't sleep , with our little one in our bed. Her Dad bought her a brand new bed, we painted her room a pretty light purple, and we had to lay down with her for the first few nights, but she got used to it. We put a baby monitor in her room too. She was just babied to the point of ridiculous. She's his only biological child. So, he gave her everything, and she did no wrong. She got her way with everything, no matter what.
He was killed when she was 11 years old. She misses him every minute of the day. She's 24 now, and talks about him all the time.
Everyone deserves a Daddy that truly loves and protects them.
Thank you reading this with us, G. It’s incredibly sad. ❤ 🐻
Why was he driving around with her so long if she was already deceased? Wasn't he worried about someone catching on to what was up?
That's what intrigues me... How could he drive with her being obviously dead on the passenger seat in daytime without being Seen at all..
At those hours it’s possible people would just think she’s sleeping. Terrifying
Or possible she was heavily drugged and he was trying to figure out where to end her life ( hence driving around until he got a flat tire )? Didn’t authorities use cadaver dogs on his car with no results ?
Right. He literally had a conversation with the guard at the gate! I think I would be able to recognize someone wasn't alive.
Did the guard see her? She , i apologize in advance for what I am saying, be discolored, she would not have looked okay.
Clearly SS escalated in his deviant behaviors.
Jen HAD to know Maddie was dead. If Jen was always the one to bring her to school, then there had to have been some conversation or something to happen for Stephen to suddenly take her to school the day she went missing.
It’s all a lie. Jen is involved way more than she is letting on. I really hope they charge her too. Her entire narrative of that morning is a lie.
Also, they could charge her with child endangerment, child neglect, several other things!
Has anyone else, found it STRANGE, that Jennifer called Stephan to come back after he'd been gone for a MONTH?
SHE CALLED HIM TO COME BACK THAT VERY NIGHT he murdered her....
It doesn't sit right with me, that she's not been charged too.
He had been doing that (sa) FOR YEARS, not been caught....
So, why did he kill her this time?
So, it happened the very night Jennifer called him to come back?????
So this dude have been dating the mom, and had another girlfriend, and also cheated.. how could he charm all these women?? 😭
He’s probably a sociopath, they are very charismatic and charming at first, know how to love bomb you and make you believe something magical is happening. I had an ex like this and I just didn’t see it, thought he was lovely initially 🤷♀️ thankfully I never let him around my kid bc he then yelled at me my kid was retarded during one of his abusive rages. It was such a mindfuck when those colours showed and obviously we ended but I do remember how crazy charming he could be, particularly so as I’m a demisexual and usually takes me a while to form enough of an emotional connection to someone for romance. Took him maybe a day or so to have me instantly smitten

Shame on her abuser and murderer
@@jennifers.3818
I agree but her mother was the facilitator
I know he had the body, but the question is which one strangled her? Who lets BF sleep with daughter. Consent to abuse really
Absolutely no way did her mother not know the grooming of her daughter had been going on for 5 plus years by this vile man . This is one of the most heartbreaking crimes against a minor I have ever come across ( although I know it goes on all over the world but to hear it read out point by point by G. Is terrifying) Poor Madeline if 8 years old wasn’t bad enough - 12 , 13 years of age is such a difficult tricky time for young males & females in regards to puberty and learning that these things are wrong I am wondering if perhaps his behaviour was about to be exposed by Madeline herself . Such a shame she couldn’t find a person in authority to confide in . Here in the Uk as part of the school curriculum children are taught life issues in I believe year 5 or 6 so at 10 or 11 years of age I think this is a great thing although again I believe parents can ask for their children to be excused from this . What a shame her mother couldn’t save her daughter , because I believe as I said she MUST of known something . Sleep well Madeline you did not deserve this . X x 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 😢😢
Jennifer knew what Stephan was there for. Yup.
Jen pimped out her daughter just to keep a man around, for what, to do some heavy lifting. You can't believe anything she says. She's on video lying.
@HumanimalChannel i cant help but agree. No one is that dumb, i hope. 😮😢
Who else would sit here listening to G read the entire document?! Couldn’t handle reading it alone. 🍿😳🍿
Actually I heard from Court TV, that they are thinking of charging Jenn, it’s a felony, in Florida, up to 15 years, to allow the harm of a minor, when they are the parent, Guardian. I hope they do. I know moms like this!
That's not actually true that's not even correct
The reporter from the Orlando area said police are not focused on Jan Soto and will not be she will not be charged I only focus is on Stephen Stearns
CSA is at a pandemic level. Many survivors in the world. Thank you for the video.
Love listening to you. Love your voice. You do a very good job for the victoms
I feel like maddi got brave and stood up to Stephen, it made him angry and then he got scared she'd tell. 😔 My heart aches for her.
These crocs were supposed to be on Maddie’s feet, did Jenn not notice only 1 shoe was missing and the other was at her house still?! I’m confused! How the hell did Jenn not know something bad happened to her daughter and Stephen was involved ?!
well, part 3 was taken down. I was halfway through watching it. hopefully it will be resolved. I am thankful for your content and for giving trigger warnings.
Thankyou G for all you do and all the hard work you put into every live stream or all your Presentations Jen soto needs to be held accountable for at least neglect or child endangerment and for being a liar..imo RIP Maddie 🎉🤸🫶
1:42:11 and. He openly admits to being an adderall addict. And they have evidence of her being assaulted while completely passed out. I also have a suspicion that he was telling Madeline that she was his real girlfriend. He probably made her crazy promises and he probably talked bad about her mother. Which would have made the normal teenage angst even worse. Especially if he was saying things in her ear like, your mom is jealous of you, etc etc.
Here in Florriduh,lying to the police is a crime,they will get Jen.
Thank you beautiful Gisela for your thorough coverage on this case
So they were separated! They were not living together! He is not Madeline’s real father! Still she allows him to come over, sleep in the bed with her young daughter, “taking her to school! Being alone with her ALL THE TIME!!?? 😡😡😡
I am so heartbroken when I watch this case. I cry during every episode
I truly believe stephan pitted maddie against her mother
Kind of like stephan and Maddie against Jen
Maddie was the preferred "partner" in stephan's eyes.
Triangulation
Thank you Gissila this is great coverage
Madeline Soto dad is a freaking punk he knew what was going on with his daughter and didn't want to take care of her...he never wanted her...poor Madeline the unforgotten the unwanted and the unloved little girl nobody wasted...shame on the grandparents and aunts cousins and of course the sorry a....mom
Thank you G for your compassion and helping us understand this horrific case
Love your coverage G. You’re the best on RUclips!!!
Thank you, G. This is the safest place to hear this horrific story. That poor child needed a mommy who cared. It is just so horrendously sad. 😢 My heart breaks for that strong, sweet, baby girl. ❤😢🙏
This breaks my heart...Maddie was so loved she didn't even know it...I pray all the truth comes out.. Justice for Madeline ❤️
