- A mother and father in Scioto County, Ohio stand trial in the death of their infant son. Young Dylan Groves was found dead 30 feet down a well last year, prosecutors said. Authorities blame the boy’s parents-mother Jessica Groves, and father Daniel Groves-for what happened. The defendants are charged with aggravated murder, murder, kidnapping, endangering children, tampering with evidence, interference with custody, gross abuse of a corpse, and four counts of felonious assault.
Problems stemmed right from Dylan’s day of birth on January 10, 2019. The boy was born with drugs in his system, authorities claim. Daniel Groves later got the child back after showing that he followed regulations, but the defendant allegedly started missing important dates, including court dates and doctor’s appointments.
Investigators claim that both defendants bolted on a four-wheeler when authorities dropped by the home for a checkup on May 20, according to WLTW. Deputies obtained a search warrant, got Jessica Groves to give herself up quickly, but Daniel Groves was only arrested after a six-hour standoff. Authorities said they found $42,000 of stolen items at the residence, and later found the late infant in a well.
Deputies said Dylan Groves didn’t even make it to a full three months of age. They claim there’s evidence showing he’d been dead since March.
A coroner determined that the victim had been slain. The child sustained several bone fractures, had been wrapped in plastic bags with duct tape, then put in milk crates that were wrapped in chains, and other bindings, according to WSAZ. The creates were weighted down with rocks and a weight, authorities said. As in his birth, Groves died with drugs in his body, according to the coroner. This allegedly included methamphetamine.

She only had that baby for 12 days and she showed more love for him than either of his parents.
Thank god because that baby deserves all the love in the world.
Yes read my comment this system is f-d up
Why did they tale the baby away? He would have been safe :(
@@KrispyChangesaA
This foster mom is a wonderful lady!! Please know women like you are one in a million!! Your incredible!
Or pretending to cry to get back at parents to snatched her chance at being a mom. I find it difficult to believe she became that attached in 12 days that she is crying a year later.
Yeah, and she gave that child the only taste of love he ever got.
@@JmGmail maybe normally not but the horrific end of the chulds life could have something to do with it
AMEN MY FRIEND AMEN ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
@@JmGmail one you're definitely not a woman and number two you ain't no mama!!! Foster mom or not she was the best mom that child had for his short life,,..... I'm a grandma and if I was in her shoes it would devastate me too.!!! It's mother f****** sad this baby died he's gone that little light.....RIP SWEET BOY!
SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT REALLY LOVED HIM!!!! Makes complete sense that she'd be emotional.... In a way she lost a child too 😔
*Andrea Bowling* i hope she continues to open her heart to innocent babies, i know this hurt her but SHE GAVE THAT BABY 12 LOVING DAYS IN HIS SHORT LIFE, im so grateful for her.
Andrea Bowling, Baby Dylan's foster mom, provided the most loving, safe environment he had in his entire short 2 1/2 months of life. She did everything a loving parent would do. Bought items at her own expense for Baby Dylan. Told friends and family about the newborn she'd be welcoming into her home and received cribs, rocking chair, etc. She took pictures of Baby Dylan and must have held him for hours on end, soothing, rocking, kissing, and caressing his tiny, trembling, pained body. Over 12 days she strongly bonded with Baby Dylan. She is traumatized and will have guilty feelings about allowing him to go back to his monster parents even though she had no choice.
@@gailtrotman5256 my heart is breaking for her 😢
@@gailtrotman5256 same
Wow.....brilliant reply....you are so right...love from Canada
very true
Seems to me the parents look annoyed that the foster mom is so emotional.
Run free :the two demons can't understand why the lady is feeling so bad, because, they never loved the baby and killed it. 👺👺👺👺👺👺
RUN FREE they are so immature and redicules to me. They never ever shouldve been parents
Of course they're irritated. The jury is seeing the stark contrast between selfish druggies and a generous, loving human being.
Drug addicts don't choose to be addicts nor does anyone choose to be an alcoholic or gamler
IloveJC love yes they do When they take that first one they should be smart enough to know not to do it again. I just agree but they can’t stop
Andrea Bowling: please don't let this horrible experience deter u from fostering another child or infant . I know it's painful but there's another child out there that desperately needs u and u have so much to offer them. Don't let this close ur heart. At some point, please consider it, thank u 🙏💔
tina towns she has to do what’s best for herself.
I cant imagine going thru this. I have many times wanted to become a foster parent but I just dont think I could emotionally handle going thru things like this. having to give a child back to parents that I know are a threat. or even being blamed for things tht the parent may have done. For a good foster parent it is beyond difficult
Exactly she was probably the only one who gave him love and gave him light. It’s a damn shame
it likely she will be excluded from trying to foster, unfortunately if you show too much attachment, and when/if the bio parents sense that, it can go very badly for the child.......when you foster, especially emergent fostering of babies and kids, when they need immediate care, if you show signs of wanting to keep the child, adopt them, or stay active in their life----people like this woman, takes that as threat. In my opinion she killed her baby in defiance to the system and the woman that had her baby for those 12 days and wanted to keep him. Fostering should be be redone from the ground-up as far as being able to filter out potential abusers of foster kids and folks that cannot separate themselves enough from getting too attached.
The childrens services as usual failed this child.. I fostered my grandson for a year and after did the classes to foster and adopt and rethought that decision immediately there after because of this right here.. unfortunately the children of todays world come with some of these parents and things like this happen and you the one who opened ur home and heart suffers the most and the children inside thd home who also opened thier lifes to the child in question with love and compassion that is what we teach our girls.. So sad my heart goes out to all these kids out there thst suffer the. "drug epidemic "
This foster mom testimony was heart breaking, those parents could have just called her she would have come running
Kathleen Wykle totally agree! And they sit there like they don’t even care or have remorse. They are the absolute worst!!!!!
I honestly don’t think they wanted him to live. It’s just horrible.
Sad when a total stranger cares more about their child than they did.

Now this is what crying looks like. You can see tears, you can hear snot when she sniffles, and she shows real emotion towards someone other than herself.
It's how cry and I only cry when I'm extremely emotional you can tell she's devested
I agree. She became more fragile emotionally as each day passes. Watch how she changes physically day by day.
Lol I like how you so eloquently describe real crying and throw the word snot right in there.
i mean for goodness sakes, she gave them a bible...that speaks volumes....
Andrea is an angel God put down here on Earth as an example to us of what grace and selflessness look like. I pray she finds peace and can eventually heal from this pain. I cannot imagine how broken she is. My support is in spirit, always.
right. and she gave them a bible 😭😭😭
I think it says a lot she provided formula and diapers and the stuff she had paid for. She did everything for Dylan
God I know!!!! Right like they even know how to read much less read the bible!!! Even gave them the blanket from hospital it makes me sick and I want to cry!
CPS dropped the damn ball. I worked as a RN. I hated dealing with them. Some are lazy, incompetent, ineffective, and damn right criminal. Seen circumstances such as baby Dylan too many times.
That's so sad and disturbing. 😥
so true.
They also don’t pay well so they get uneducated and lower class people in general that work at CPS. In order to have good services u need to pay a livable wage to encourage quality staff.
@@slamminsam6xoxo me too.....I've seen absolutely criminal stupidity
From CPS......I know they don't pay well. As an RN in a large burn unit we received a little boy burned in the same way 3 different times.
All the nurses kept telling CPS, "DO NOT send that little boy home w mama and her boyfriend!!! These people are going to kill him."
After he recovered from his 3rd set of 2nd and 3rd degree burns.....they sent him home w them again.
The next time he came to our ER...he was dead...😐
I'm just shocked how often this happens.
when Andrea said she gave them a bible. my heart. oh my. 😭💔
Amy Elizabeth I wonder If it went in the well with that precious baby?
@@jennifertomlin4860 I hope to god it did in a way. so that sweet baby had the Lord to comfort him on his way back home to him 💟
I cried😥
I’d be offended if someone gifted me a bible it means the giver thinks your not good enough as you are and you’re beliefs are less correct than the twisted conflicting story that don’t make sense like key info was not included for some reason or so was taken out of context
@@joanbaczek2575 but it could also mean its for the baby! I have children and even though they already had bibles they have been gifted bibles. I have never been offended. I dont think there are ever too many of those around💗
Seeing the lovely Andrea Bowling trying to hold herself together and cry , broke my heart. It must be absolutely heartbreaking to foster a child that you’ve taken care of and have grown attached to ... I don’t understand why Dylan was returned to his parents having spent 12 days in Ms Bowling’s care? Children Services should be sat with The Groves! They are in no way blameless in little Dylan’s death ... so so very sad. Dylan RIP 😢😢😢😢
Nadia Lister most definitely. She bonded with him 😭 it would be so awful finding out this would be the last time she would hold that sweet innocent baby.😭
😭😭😭😭😭
Imagine that the foster mom are crying far more than this little babys parents, that makes me sick......why could they not se that those around her making decisions....
@@davcol98 True, but the monster mom was not supposed to be in the same house. However, when the police showed up, she was there. How come nobody checked up on that ?
The law supports “the least restrictive environment” that is safely possible. That’s why
The foster mom gave this baby the only love he’d experienced in his very short life, had he been able to stay with her he would still be alive and doing well. Such a sad case. The parents and CPS are to blame for this tragedy.
exactly. the only photos the so called parents had were what she gave them. I couldn't imagine not having millions of photos of my babies 😭
I wonder if the baby would have grown up to have attachment disorder and act out on foster mom even though she didn’t cause the problem, his early baby months were spent with monster parents
Amy Elizabeth I don’t have a lot of pictures of my son cuz I didn’t have the extra money for camera film and developing. So that’s not fair that you said that. And even if I had my baby recently there is no way I would be able to afford a phone that takes good pictures sorry the cheap throw away phones are so low quality they are not worth having who wants shitty blurry pics. With a phone that doesn’t have a screen that works well enough to even accurately dial a phone number
@@joanbaczek2575 seem to be able to afford to log onto youtube and internet. And if you cant afford a 50$ phone which DOES take good pics [its 2020 the cheapphones have good cameras lol] I cant imagine a child having a good life if youre that poor.. most people nowdays take millions of pics of their babies so it is fair and makes sense for someone of this day and age to say what she said. Jeeze i even see the people in 3rd world countries still being able to get a phone and upload pics to their facebooks.
Look for a second at the genetic structure of that baby. Both parents were criminals. Darwin is looming around in this one. The upbringing of a child is extremely important but the DNA is also there, and can show up, under certain conditions.
Why would they let the Groves sit together? They lost their chance to get to hang out, write notes and smile at each other.
I said the same thing.
I agree. The 2 attorneys should between them.
It’s bc they are both separately on trial, with separate lawyers. This is also why we have 3 different teams questioning witnesses. If the lawyers sit in the middle between the two defendants they would not be able to discuss the case in confidence with their client. The way they are sitting, the lawyers can converse with their client without the other client or lawyer hearing.
They should be sat at separate desks
Thankyou I thought the same thing these two should not be able to write notes & be together that was ridiculous I couldn’t believe anyone didn’t say anything like no note writing your days should be Miserable from here on out that poor baby these two are monsters! 🤦🏻♀️
Dylan would of had a beautiful life with this wonderful woman Andrea! Soooo sad. I cant understand how they took that baby from this guardian and threw him back to the wolves! SO soon!!!!! Like how in the hell did these monsters get him back in 12 short days after everything observed! It should of taken a full year for them to prove themselves and get their lives together.
I was thinking the same thing .she seemed like a wonderful women who would of helped that baby thrive in life.this is sooo sad
I can’t believe they took the Dad at his word that mom wouldn’t be in the house and that he would do “everything to keep the babies needs met”
@@erinm3980 yea that is amazing.honestlt they should always rule and act with caution in this day and age with the way the drug world is now .Just cant take people on that "good word"
Jessica Mendez
Can't believe CPS didn't inspect Dylan head to toe @ her home visit with mom & dad.
And after throwing him back with the wolves there wasn’t follow up! What the F?!?! Everyone failed this baby with the exception of the foster mom.
CPS is a crap show. I think they do more harm than good.
Yes! They are lazy and incompetent!
This is the kind of attitude that leads to children being sent back to their bio parents so quickly....
@@sandracampbell8128 no it's incompetence.
On the other hand they take children for much less.
That's why it's a crap show.
My kids father was a CPS caseworker for years .. yet doesn't know how to co parent yet "qualified" to go into people's homes and tell them how to & not to parent their kids .. JOKE!
@@dawnlove1014 Go to your governor's advocacy office and legislators if you feel they are so incompetent. Saying that CPS does more harm than good promotes unfit parents such as these people, to keep kids in their care when it's not safe.
The system failed this poor, helpless baby boy. He was in such safe and loving arms with his foster mother. I cant even imagine this.
And it fails many more everyday ): really hope CPS betters itself one day. Shit’s depressing
For the life of me I can't even understand why these two just didn't give this child up for adoption? They didn't expect to have another child, they couldn't afford another child, they couldn't hold down a job, apparently didn't want another child and they apparently had a lifestyle that wasn't a good one for a baby.
I am right there with you
Probably for welfare government financial support of some kind
I don't think they had much time to go through those motions to get the kid adopted. Secondly, have you had any experience with drug addicts? Drugs screw your mind up during the high and then it is like they forget everything that occured when they're sober again. Same as getting overly drunk. And a heroin addict is much more severe in that regard. I don't she had reasonable thoughts at any point.
@@MichelleKMann, yes I have had experience and all they had to do was leave the baby alone at the foster mom's house. But they went above and beyond to get it back.
@@rosesmith6925 , Do these 'parents' ever explain why they wanted their baby back?
Why in the world would CPS give that poor baby back to the those roaches.
Toni Waid damn CPS! They are about applying rules that is all.
Lawyers
Sometimes the natural parents are not the best parents especially when they have drug issues. It's disgusting that baby Dylan's life was cute short due to CPS incompetence.
CPS generally do carry on that they are not throughly and stay on top of children cases. This is known as FACT!
Exactly. Meth addicts don't suddenly stop doing meth in 12 days. And when CPS couldn't get in touch with them the cops should've been called right then, especially given the bio family's history. It's ridiculous how badly CPS failed this baby.
Wow just wow! I’m so glad Dylan got to experience unwavering love & support for even a short time. This foster parent is an angel 😇
The only two photos that were ever taken of baby (Dillon)was, during the twelve days the foster mom (Andrea Bowling)had him.
We don't know that. But it does appear the mom was too addicted to drugs to care for a baby.
There are more than two and he was so tiny I am sure Andrea was the only one who photographed him. I agree that Jessica was too high to function.
Mom sitting there while foster Mom is hysterical. What’s wrong with that picture?
Jennifer Tomlin I think we should call bio mom a donor and the foster mom his mom cause she earned that
EVERYTHING
I think we should call a spade a spade and a murdering, sick, twisted, no good meth head a murdering , sick, twisted, no good meth head. And a decent caring compassionate foster parent, that baby's only life line. That CPS took a pair of scissors to and cut.
@@melissaandersonblue3524 Jessica was an egg donor and Daniel Sr. was a sperm donor. Andrea Bowling was his real mom who loved him dearly.
Sweet precious Dylan rest now in Jesus's arms🙏🙏🤲🤲
Yes😇🙏 he had 12 beautiful love filled days and nights with her before entering heaven
6 years ago my 2 children were placed in foster care ( not because of drugs) but domestic violence.
Yes they are back home but it took me 1 whole year. Multiple parent courses, domestic violence courses I also did a college course and kept up with my contacts which I travelled 40 miles and that was three times a week.
The foster cares were the most beautiful, caring loveing people I ever met. I now have them on Facebook and I keep them updated.
I've been engaged now for three years, nice home and me and my partner have twins too which we had social in again just to be weary. But every time they came they checked all the children's bedrooms, held both babies and they would also do a visit along with the health visitor. Of course there not involved any more and at that time I was like I don't get it.. But hearing this case I'm so glad they do that!
I'm just now getting my oldest son back and he was 3 when he was taken and I got him back when he was 10.
At least you were able to realize the error of your ways. Many parents don’t and their children are returned regardless. It’s a horribly flawed system, but I’m happy your family was one of the lucky ones.
That baby was loved by his foster parent... he would have had a full life. This story is heartbreaking. Why did they even try to get this baby? They showed no one that they wanted him.
It wouldn't surprise me if they wanted custody of the infant for the extra funds from welfare?
12 days not a full life and the remaining 45 + days of pain and horror is not a full life and the 12 days of real care was not enough to cushion the horror brought on by his mother
@@marniehall7168 Umm 🤔 I said he WOULD HAVE your comment makes no sense
Andrea Bowling should have been the little man's Mommy.
She was 😭 the only mommy he truly knew in his short little life. That monster who caused him so much pain is no mother
Ms. Bowling, I'm just watching this case. My heart is torn into pieces for baby Dylan and you. You're there epitome of what a true Mother should be. My heart sank when you stated you gave them a Bible. You would have been the best Mommy forever for baby Dylan. God Bless You sweet and caring lady. I hope you know and realize you provided baby Dylan the best life while in your care. I pray you may have resolve, understanding and closure to this. You are a true hero. There are still great people in this world and you are one of them. 💔💔
I'm a 39yo man with 2 kids of my own watching the Foster mum breaking down is heart breaking that baby should have never left her care
She loved him 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
I’m glad someone did 😢
With all of her heart. At least that precious baby had love, true genuine love while in here care.
If she’d kept him, he’d still be here.
well, she feels guilty but there were no plans for her to adopt this child. She was just performing a good social deed. It did little to change the outcome. That baby was doomed.
@@linanicolia1363 what are u talking about? She is a foster to adopt parent bozo
I was adopted once my birthmother overdosed. I was returned after i was done with drug withdrawals and being premature. Lot of lies told to my adoptive parents such as she died during childbirth. Scar was surgery but docs day it’s a gunshot would. I was “checked on” at 12 weeks and taken away and was hospitalized. We think i was actually shot and then taken away;..footer care and orphanages until she overdosed. This story breaks my heart. He should have never been allowed back with the parents until years clean.
The foster MOM was the closet thing Dylan had as far as a MOTHER! That’s the only love he got was in that 12 days with this foster mommy. She was the ONLY one that didn’t fail that baby. She is such a good person with a genuine soul.
Bless her heart . She was Dylan's angel . 💖💖
My heart just broke for this woman. She loved dillon more in 12 days then anyone ever did. ❤️❤️
These videos should be compulsory for anyone considering social work, foster care, or human service vocations. There is a wealth of information to be absorbed; from nonverbal observations to legal procedures/techniques to how to be a witness (key:Speak UP).
I would have benefited tremendously from these videos prior to my social work time in Cincinnati. Two years was the maximum I could handle. It’s beyond difficult for those of us who are more like the foster mom (care deeply @ others).
We are desperately needed in those positions but they can eat us alive 💔. We can’t help but get invested in outcomes and the feeling of helplessness is real, despite our best efforts. You can either become jaded or suffer a nervous breakdown. There isn’t much middle ground.
Kelli Votel: Excellent comment. I too, am formerly from social services. I know a lot of people like to blame the caseworker, but all we can do is fight our hardest against the bureaucracy - and often lose. I put my heart and soul into all the children I worked with, but that comes at a price, and I eventually burned out.
Thank you for caring. I realize the amount of cases is very high.
Yeah, I did it for one year and knew I couldn't participate and follow my morals and values. Several devastating cases in those twelve months.
Smartest comment I've seen. You are absolutely right!!
I cant even imagine the pain this foster mother must feel every day and every night. Knowing that there is nothing she can do to bring him back.
IT IS THE ...FULL RESPONSIBILITY...OF THESE PEOPLE TO GET TO THESE COURT ORDERED TESTS AND APPOINTMENTS!!!
NO EXCUSES....PERIOD!!!!
Seeing all of these people involved trying to help these two pukes makes me sick. All the time and money wasted, not to mention a life, is crazy.
Mike Smith exactly they need two inexpensive bullets in the temple
Love Pet that still would be too good for them. They should have to endure the exact beating that baby did! I’d be happy to facilitate.
Unfortunately everybody needs a fair trial. Whether they deserve it or not. It is a safety system put in place to make sure the innocent are not wrongfully punished which does happen. All of these prosecutors you see in this trial most likely defended criminals in the beginnings of their careers
And of course they aren’t thankful or ashamed of the situation that THEY put themselves in. Entitled and wanting more. I’m so grateful they are getting what they deserve.
What do you mean by "all these people"? There was only cps and the foster mom. Cps failed at protecting baby and foster mom's hands were tied. I don't get why they hire incompetent cps workers. Their jobs are just as important as drs. Imagine if this cps worker was a dr performing your bypass. 😱
My heart goes out to the foster Mom. She clearly has been deeply affected 😔 ❤ child protective services should have left baby Dylan in her care. He would probably be alive, healthy, and happy. When does CPS begin to be held accountable?
Baby Dylan is resting in the arms of Jesus and rejoicing with the angels. We can take comfort only in this.
We will battle to comprehend this level of evil forever
They picked the wrong prosecutor for this case he has the emotional intelligence of a toad. He doesn't even give that poor woman time to compose herself before asking her another question I mean come on she loved that little baby and you can't wait 2 minutes for her to compose herself. They should have left the questioning to the female prosecutor she asked the relevant questions in a prompt fashion.
Oh sweet baby.Gone too soon.
I'm so confused at the defense attorneys' line of questioning in much of this.
Me too. I came to see if anyone else agreed.
That's her strategy keep the jury confused...
@@natashadefoe7035 , Well, given what she's been appointed to do, and not being given any single good thing to use as a defence, she's simply falling around for something, anything to make her look as if she's defending them.
I know! The state had a case that was pretty open and shut. It almost seems like Jessica’s attorney WANTS to fail. He was SUPER kind to the foster mother, which was surprising.
Yea like when jessicas defense attorney asked the cop if Jessica was belligerent, cop said yea and he said ok no further questions....lol wth
I don’t understand why the Groves even wanted little Daniel. He was placed with a loving safe family, why not leave him there.
If i had to guess it would be for any baby bonus or funds they might receive for him!
Ms. Bowling looks like the only person who ever loved Dylan and now she has to suffer for that for the rest of her life.
If you ever commit a crime in Ohio, probably would be best to avoid these two to defend you
Right?? They were definitely court appointed.
As soon as they started to dip and dodge the social workers, CPS, and the police, we KNOW they are up to no good. There was all this police activity and shouting outside his trailer and dude is inside passed out. That must have been quite a bag.
Asensio Rodriguez or lack of bag 🤦🏽♀️
Or he was pretending to be asleep
This poor lady’s heart is broken. I feel so deeply for her pain. She is truly sad to her core. I hope she can find peace in knowing she gave that baby the only love he ever experienced.
I would give my babys up before I would do anything to harm them... as I'm sure 99.9 people would... I just don't understand why this didn't have to happen!!!
I’m glad this baby had those 12 days of love and attention.
Would love to know what the messages were. Passed back and forth between each other.
Jessica's defense is secretly working for prosecution 😂😂😂
Thankfully... ♥️
It's not a secret that public defenders and prosecutors are on the same team. They're dope feins they can't afford a lawyer, the State has to legally appoint anyone a lawyer who can't afford one on their own. But, they get their paychecks signed by the same people most of the time. Most lawyers and prosecutors are friends outside of the Court room.
Which in this case is a good thing because they're guilty.
I don't care what anyone says, you don't have to be a specialist to know when someone is a good or bad person. That's why we have instincts. You can also read people by their body language and mannerisms etc and the contrast between the paternal mother and Ms Bowling is crystal clear. Ms Bowling seems like a genuinely lovely soul and it's clear she loved that baby more than it's mother (and I use that word extremely loosely) and you could see that she was cut deeply about that poor baby. I choked up more than a few times watching her testify. I felt so bad when she broke down after saying she had him for 12 days but was going to have him for more. I badly wanted to hug her and reassure her that there's no way she could of done any more than she did. See how the ripples of such a heinous crime affect good people in ways you could never imagine. My heart goes out to her. She's lovely. Instinctively likeable. She is an example of the type of foster parents that you hope to see. God bless her.
Well said♥️
May GOD BLESS HER SOUL FOR SPEAKING ON BABY DYLANS BEHALF. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I CANT IMAGINE THE HORRIFIED FEELING SHE IS BEARING AT THIS TIME THAT WILL NEVER LEAVE HER HEART.

Venus Gamez shes been the only one in all this to even shed a tear for that sweet baby
My heart hurts for this foster mother. I cannot imagine.
Andrea showed more emotion and heartbreak than Jessica and Daniel together through the whole trial 😢
RIP Baby Dylan 🙏🏼
The agency needs to be held accountable.
It's heartbreaking to watch this foster mother.
I could not agree more...this issue in college that after you abused your first child were punished and than re offend They need to be on court-mandated forced birth control!!!! This does not stop them from being abusive people it just stops him from making more people for them to abuse!!!
Drug counsellor is definitely an ex user. It does something to the voice that never changes.
The best ones are X addicts
Former cleaned drug addicts are the best to help because they have been there
Andrea Bowling... you are so sweet hearted. I wish I could hug you. ❤️ I’m sorry you had to go through this. ❤️
Andrea Bowling::: aka Earth Angel
Thank You for the sweet love and care you gave baby Dylan. He will be waiting for you with open arms in Heaven! If love could determine parents you are indeed his true mommy!❤️
We need more foster parents like her, you can see she really cares about this child.
I really get the feeling that Jessica groves lawyer is doing the absolute minimum to defend her when the Dr who did the autopsy was testifying he looked absolutely horrified and rightly so. I want to get my hands on Mrs groves so badly
Don’t worry the women in prison will take care of her. They don’t like her kind in there.
I totally agree! Either that or he’s completely incompetent
Wishing love and strength to Andrea, being a foster parent is ridiculously hard. All the love you have for them with minimal input on decisions :( I did it for two years and it was too emotionally and mentally draining to relinquish care of them.
Ppl like these monsters is why I've slowly lost hope for humanity
I will never understand how anyone can hurt another especially a baby and their baby. Sorry but they should get the DP!
I give the foster mom so much credit and overwhelming respect. I love children and babies and would do anything to help them. I’ve very often wished I could do what she so selflessly does in being a foster mom. Every time I’ve ever gotten close, what always holds me back is knowing the devastation that would come every time a child was taken from me and given back to filthy, monstrous, druggie, inept “parents”. It’d be much easier to get over missing a child you cared for if you were giving them to loving parents but I bet that almost never happens. How do you ever get past the sickening worry you’d feel from there on out never knowing if they’re safe and being properly cared for. That worry, heartbreak and devastation would just do me in after one, let alone multiple times.
People like her are absolute miracles. I hope she is able to heal after this and go on to help more children that need her. I wish something could be done for her.
Watching in 2023 God Bless everyone reading my comment and prayers to all in need 🙏🏻🕊️
This is a real CRYING SHAME. The system fails these children time & time again, and again! It's insanity that proper guidelines, training and standards are not implicated and followed. And then they get a slap on the wrist! Sickening...
poor foster mom is traumatized. I wonder if she'll ever foster another after this
I wouldn't be able to... but i think she will just to hopefully save another from this demise.
this is some of the saddest testimony ive seen. This poor woman. My heart goes out her
I don’t get the defense attorney’s point- without foster parents CPS couldn’t function- duh!
He tried to make it seem like she was in it for the money which she picked up on quickly and he realized it.
I didn’t hear any of these witnesses say anything about how much pain poor baby Dylan was in after having his ribs broken, his legs snapped, and his skull broken on more than once.
Let the guy answer a damn question jeesh
Erin M I was thinking the same thing!!!!
She was trying to slow him down so the jury can understand that mr dad wasn’t cooperative and great like the defense is saying. He is running thru what happened, using acronyms that everyday citizens wouldn’t necessarily understand and she’s pausing him to understand the timeline, events and every detail. By locking himself in a house and making the police track you down and have to call some special team, this mr dad did everything in his power to bullshit these cops. This is only a mess because these parents where a effing mess.
And how many criminals have you successfully prosecuted?
Ms Bowling, in my judgement, is a very loving and caring person. God bless her. I hope, when all is said and done on Earth, she does wrap her arms around baby Dylan again --with Jesus smiling down on them both.
I give Andrea Bowling a metal for having such a big heart for children. My sister is also a foster mother and it’s not easy giving these children back to parents knowing they are in danger. May Andrea keep her home open for love. Rest In Peace Baby Dylan.
I pray that she still remains to be a Foster parent so many
Kids would be blessed to live in her home ! Maybe even adopt but more then 12 days to a drug addict ! She has been hurt so badly! , I really do want her to stay as a foster parent! She is such a caring woman ! It touched my heart when she said what she gave Dylan a blanket and a Bible! God Bless her and her family ! Kids need to know love ! 👍❤️😘🙏😊😇
My heart breaks for that foster mom. I also commend her. She gave Dylan 12 full days of unconditional and pure love. 12 days isn’t much but at least he experienced that. He was truly loved for 12 days. He was loved. He will continue to be loved. She was and is his guardian angel.
Oh this poor foster mom
He was so tiny, what a beautiful baby.
The entire system failed this baby.
This prosecutor needs to stop interrupting witnesses
Despicable defense attorney...trying ( i think) to make out this lovely foster mother was fostering Dylan for the money ...grrrr!
susie foxy As far as defense attorney’s go, he’s one of the creepiest I’ve ever seen. There’s something off about him. That poor foster mom loved that baby more in those few days she had him than both of his parents put together.
susie foxy
I think he was pointing out she spent a lot of her own money to prepare for Dylan coming to live with her because she wanted him.
@@mimikay5421 I agree but I believe she was lying. Foster parents are given funding to buy items for children. The pay is good too. She as a foster parent should have been more professional, and although getting attached is normal, it is advised to not get too attached. This can cause a conflict of interest. 12 days was way to soon to say she loved him. She was an emotional wreck because the baby was killed, if alive and doing well would she be crying? And it's against policy that foster parents ask to stay involved with reunited children, she's a dogs body for CPS nothing more. Shame as she is a wonderful lady who should just adopt, fostering is too hard for her, she gets attached to easy, clingy in fact. This isn't a stable lady emotionally ( speaking generally )
Hach
Not sure how much foster parents are paid in Ohio ... Nevada pays $800 a month per child. This amount doesn't even cover full time monthly child care expenses for a newborn or a older child's after school care & extra curricular sports, gymnastics, karate, ect...
Yes, "CPS" does advise foster parents not to get too attached to the children placed in their care.
Imho this mindset is a disservice to the emotionally & physically broken children who are thrown into the system.
Many of these kids need love, guidance, acceptance, & support from an Adult..Not another dysfunctional & detached relationship.
Andrea Bowling has been a 3rd grade teacher for almost 20 years... clearly she loves children & wears her heart on her sleeve.
I believe she fell in love with Dylan the minute she laid eyes on him.
Mommy instincts are fierce ... Something inside of her connected with this little boy & she gave him her heart.
12 days with a newborn baby who's going through drug withdrawals is a 24/7 job. These babies wake up screaming & go to sleep screaming in 2-3 hour intervals.
I think the most experienced & professional foster parent would have a difficult time compartmentalizing emotion durning & after caring for a drug addicted newborn.
Bowlings knew there was a problem with the parents & broke the rules-
She was Dylan's only lifeline.
CPS worker didn't bother with her protocols either.
I don't think Andrea Bowlings is too emotional to foster- This would be a traumatizing situation for any person who loved & wanted to help children...
@@mimikay5421 In the UK it's a nicely paid job, all costs covered including petrol and any extra curricula activities children attend.
On average my friend brings home around £550 A week for one child, this depends on the needs of the child, disabled children can bring in £650- 700 a week. I know a few foster parents who are quite honest and stated it's for the love of children, but if the money wasn't nice they wouldn't do it. It's a full time job, the foster parents I know do not work, fostering is their employment.
I agree with what you say about these children needing love, you can give love without being too emotionally attached in an unhealthy way, teachers who cross the line with children in school isn't a healthy teacher, pupil relationship. It's not an easy job, but you must remain professional. Motherly instincts and soft skills are a must, I would imagine to become a foster parent. During my interview for teaching I was asked about boundaries, yes teachers must remain behind that line. A teacher who can't help herself stroking or cuddling a specific child is quite creepy, if I see this I report those people.
Andrea cries for the baby and what he went through. Jessica cries for herself and that she’s going to prison.
The foster Mother was more upset at the loss of that sweet baby than the bio mom and dad!
Social Services let Baby Dylan down severely, but Mrs. Andrea Bowling you are an Angel on Earth where the parents were demonic, evil devilish trash. Please keep your heart and home open to others like Baby Dylan, he may not have lived long, but you did give him 12 days of love, hugs and what love from a Momma should be. From the rest of us loving Momma’s, Thank You.
Completely heartbreaking for that poor woman! 💔 .. The mother looks annoyed that the Forster carer to Dylan is emotional..💔
That poor foster mom..... breaking my heart, you can see she is a good, caring and kind woman. God Bless her.
This baby should of stayed with this loving foster mother, this is definitely child services biggest mistake
This is sheer stupidity. A little late on this story but mind is blown. Children services should have never returned that child into their care I am dumbfounded by this. And if ur unable to check on the child why does it take months to get a search warrant. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy.
So this child had 12 beautiful, love filled days and nights with this Angel before entering heaven?
Hello Sweetheart ~ no, the baby endured his mother’s anger for weeks before he passed away. The foster mother had him for 12 days, then CPS returned him to the home:-(
Those 12 days where the best days of his little life
How did they get convicted of kidnapping?
CPS fails again and that's why Dylan is no longer alive. God bless Miss Bowling.
I liked the cops reporting his search n seize!!👌👊👀🧐🤨😳🤫🤔
This better end in some serious prison time for both of them! I have faith they will be convicted.
Does Andrea have a photo of Dylan engraved into that heart necklace? (My MIL has one similar of her daughter that passed away as a small child) Absolutely heartbreaking. She is a special special woman. As a teacher and a foster mom, I would love to have her in every child’s life.
Why would the system return a child to a drug addicted person who was not even keeping her rehab. Sessions. And take the baby from a loving caring environment. Who ever made that decision needs to be fired.
The female lawyer for the prosecution is excellent
My heart breaks for all of those who are involved with this case. How terribly troubling.
It literally blows my mind just how anyone can do this to a child my God why
The psychology of all this is why i watch these stories.... I still (after 8 years) have not figured out what a child could do bad enough to get this type of treatment, or what kind of person could do this, even when the baby is a perfect child....
Look at that sweet baby's picture! This sweet lady took incredible care of this sweet baby boy.
Poor Andrea actually has the look of a grieving mother and a lot of people overlook how the foster dad looks so angry and devastated aswell that poor couple were given the dream only to have it torn away in the worst circumstances imaginable. If only cps had listened to their concerns they would still be bring up baby Dylan now.
Having raised a large family and knowing the effort involved in caring for a newborn, ie. being constantly available to comfort, change diapers, feed and bathe, all the time being sleep deprived and exhausted, I can’t imagine why an addicted mother would choose to keep her baby. Of course, I realize they don’t do these things, but I assume the intention is there when they ask CPS to return their baby. Why? Some addicted women have 4, 5 and more, so they know the drill 🤷🏼♀️
Gaga Goose because they’re selfish!!! Most addicts are
I know this was a few years ago.I so wish Dylan stayed with this wonderful woman.I have 5 children.I'v had some drug problems.I Have Never hurt any of my babies/children.I also NEVER used when pregnant.These people are MONSTERS.
