Glad there are still people out there that are fighting the good fight. Thank you for service, and holding these people accountable for their horrendous actions. You are truly an inspiration.
Exactly! There needs to be more people on the force who are working to help make this world a better place. Now a days most of the officers are just people who are on a power trip and have a superiority complex.
Yes that's true... except the moment she played dead but without doing so, they both would not be here and ray may not have gotten caught right away. Brave inspiration she is. This case breaks my heart.
the mom failed. CPS can only do so much and really are put in bureaucratic red tape. you have no idea how hard it is to take a kid from the mother without the most solid, iron clad, video proof of abuse.
@@carl1367 Of course the mom failed. Yes, she had zero instinct as a mother which is why the cigarette burn on a child’s hand is the job of CPS to take immediate action.Huge huge red flags when they are called to “investigate” MULTIPLE cases.
@@weave_of_k I agree I'm just saying CPS even with a lot of proof can't just remove a child easily. I mean look even after this the dad still had to fight for custody, after the mother's boyfriend slit her kids throat the mother still had custody rights. So I guarantee CPS was trying to get the kids out but the way the laws work is they have to basically have video of the mother abusing her kids for CPS to take kids away. Really if you want to say who failed these kids it's the judge because I guarantee CPS filed a order to remove and a judge said naw we wanna keep kids with the mom
There are so many stories of CPS taking children away from loving families for the most stupid reasons, yet they allow abuse like this to go unchecked. What is just as alarming is the failure of the Citizen Review Panels to effectively hold CPS accountable for their poor decision making. There needs to be a more powerful & independent review board focused on CPS.
@@parisdawson5024 no it isn’t. You’re doing a disservice to her strength as well insulting all the children who didn’t have her strength, like they just weren’t chosen by god
I think it's horrible that they gave full custody to an alcoholic mother over a stable loving father. So many things went wrong here and led to this horrible crime. :(
@@pizzapizza6722 yeah also the fees men has to pay for not staying with their wife and divorcing her. One dude I saw went bankrupt when the court wanted 40% of his living expenses and went homeless. I know it hurts when the one you love leaves you. But in time these emotions fade. People should think first what is best for the kids not their egos.
@@jenni_noura9170 no they’re not. This is inherently wrong, those kids obviously should have been placed with their father but don’t you dare say women are treated better in society than men because it’s simply false.
As a single mother of two girls, the only thing I can say is: NEVER TRUST PEOPLE AROUND YOUR CHILDREN. Sometimes you might think you're sacrificing your youth and missing a lot outside, but there's nothing worth more than being with your children and seeing them grow.
Absolutely and unfortunately single mothers are targets for children to be abused! You cannot be sure that a man wants to be with you to gain access to your children. 😢 I made the decision after separating from my child’s father that I would remain a single mother until my child is an adult. Working in law, unfortunately we see the same formulaic predatory behaviour of children being abused by step fathers… it is enough for me to stay single and keep my child safe. Single mothers please please PLEASE reconsider inviting another man into your home. You may think being without a partner is lonely and unbearable, but the damage from your child being abused cannot be undone and you WILL blame yourself. It is not just drug addicted mothers who get caught up in this, believe you me, I see it weekly in my job and it is rife!
@@scottwhite5937 they do we all make mistakes we are human but to bring in strange men I have been single a while now and would never bring different men home she must have been broken it's just sad 😢
true shit. Love seeing other women express ACTUAL opinions that can help other women feel like they aren't alone while giving good advice. I hope to one day see the majority think like this. It seems every mother is at some point afraid to be a mother but our culture certainly does seem to groom young women into this state of mind PERPETUALLY, which is a big fkn problem.
What about the mother? She deserves to rot in jail too!! She did absolutely nothing knowing that her so called "boyfriend" was assaulting her child!! Taking her into the room alone. What do these selfish, heartless mother's end up with full custody? When they don't even wanna take care of there own children!! Especially when the Father is fighting for custody.!!
I hope the mother was punished as well, she choose her addiction over her children, and one list her life because of it. Never bring just anyone around your children, and never ever leave you’re children with anyone! What a brave little girl, and very strong woman the oldest was and is. Your sister is always with you, and proud of the work you continue to do.
I bet that mom doesn’t care. My mother chose drugs over us and abused us heavily and now plays the victim card. She will find excuses for her behavior I bet.
Why doesn't this comment have more likes?? You got people who give thousands of likes to redundant comments but this one here speaks the absolute truth.
Her mother betrayed her, a family court judge failed her, a CPS officer failed her. But, her strength, courage and loving father let her be a child again and live a full happy life.
Since we have zero proof of an afterlife I think we need infinitely harsher punishments in this life. The dad should be able to tie this guy up and do whatever he wants with him.
No, he needs to rot in prison for the rest of his life. No death penalty; I don't think revenge belongs in the justice system. A rotting carcass vs a rotting old man in prison, no friends, no love. I just hope he drops the soap. The only love he deserves.
Not mentioned in this video is that just last year, Sayeh was named lead investigator on a case where a school principal was accused of sexually abusing students. She's really gone on to save lives. Edited to add: The trial for that principal started this week, I think. It's local news for me, so I'll try to edit this comment when the verdict is in. Final Edit: The jury found him guilty of 46 out of 50 charges including sexual assault and endangering of a minor. The maximum sentence is 20 years in prison (I have no idea if that’s per conviction or for all charges at once).
How I wish the father would of had custody of his kids 😢 the mother is a monster to expose them to such danger. She is so brave to have made it through that nightmare!
Most people who survive things like this don’t think they had any reason to survive, but this girl says, “I lived so it would never happen again.” That’s good to hear
Usually, we continue on into abusive relationships, or we become very promiscuous. Some of us will learn to value ourselves and move forward in life. We also develop deep compassion for others.
As she described what Ray did to her and the last moments of her little sister’s life, tears rolled down my cheeks. How can one be so evil ?! Glad she avenged her little sister and lives the way she does now. I’m sure there isn’t a day that goes by where she’s not thinking of her sister. She’s living for herself and her sister.
That monster may have been physically stronger than her, but her psychological and emotional strength at just 8 shows how much of a coward he is compared to her. It's so amazing to see what she has become and how many lives she will continue to save despite her terrible hardship. Such an inspiration!
That b**ch (the mother) had the nerve to petition for custody after all this- and a Florida judge enforced it-even ordering them to move back to Florida at one point. I am LIVID on top of feeling so sad for them. She failed them in every way possible and deserved no more chances to hurt and neglect them. There is an old article on New York Times about it.
Children services failed them, the courts sometimes give the mom preference. The dad should’ve been awarded custody, such a sad case. She was brave for her sister, RIP Sara.
Child services the courts most likely every adult in her life other than her father failed that child and her sister. This is what happens when the courts feel that a child should be with their mother simply because the mother is the female in our society is female biased when it comes to child custody. Anybody who argues that fact is a fool because this is the primary example this one specific case that we're watching.
You can thank the patriarchy for that. It’s because mothers are usually default parents and a lot of dads have minimal interest in their kids once they break up with the mom.
This is why we say both mom and dad should take part in looking after the kids, instead of putting all the load on the mother. The mother can also support the family by going to work. But male chauvinists don't want to hear about that
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a parent and it was my responsibility to keep my younger two siblings safe. The part during the raped when she was telling her sister it was going to be ok and that it's almost over. Was incredibly triggering memories I didn't know I had. I welcome these chances to grow.
As an older brother of two, I feel her pain. This is got to be one of my worst fears, so thank you Seyah Rivazfar for your service and your incredible bravery.
Holy cow. I'm crying. This is beyond moving. Her sister has to be so proud of her. That couple who helped her are amazing, RIP to her poor sister, and it's such a shame the dad didn't get custody of the kids especially with the mom at the time being in such an unstable unhealthy household situation. Man these cases break my heart and move me so much through a rollercoaster of emotions. That girl went thru so much crap and she has pushed thru, survived, and thrived to now help her community. Wow. She's so impressive. Sending my love and utmost respect.
@@littlewillowlinda did you watch the entire video? You can see pictures of sayeh with her dad, happy and healthy and loved. Obviously he raised her and her brother well once he got custody. The unfortunate reality is that women get custody almost always, and women are believed by the courts almost always. Even when the mother is the danger and the wrong parent for the child or children. Your supposition is insensitive and most likely wrong, considering the video as a whole.
@@Kesalley0805 i did not mean to upset you, and yes I do know that usually they side with the mom. I was just saying that in the video they didn’t share anything about the dad at all.
This is partly the moms fault.. if she hadn’t gotten authority of her children, and admitted to not being healthy enough to take care of her children responsibly, none of this wouldve happened.
@@zaander2228 correction, this is ALL the mom’s fault for exposing her children to the drunken dreg predators of society just to go have drinks and bring more pedos home. if she hadn’t been a drunk and befriended ray, he wouldn’t have come to their home, raped sayah and kidnapped the girls. sick bastard.
My utmost respect to this most wonderful elder sister who in the most fearful moment could still try to calm and comfort her little sister who must have thought she had dropped dead . Her great presence of mind saved her life but unfortunately her little sister couldn't repeat the pretence because the killer was around and she had to die in great fear😟😔. She's meant to bring the murderer to justice and to avenge her little sister and protect small kids in the future which she is doing just that🙏👍😌
I was only 20 with a new born when I became a single mom, and I never left my daughter alone with anyone or let anyone change her diapers. Women please love your babies enough to keep them safe
Same happened to me when my parents divorced they decided to give the custody to my unemployed alcoholic mother instead of my father with a high income job and no addiction
And so many horrible dads too. They are always mistakes. And it’s horrible and not fair but unfortunately it happens. My friend never wanted to go to see his dad. Now I know why and it has nothing pretty.
She was so brave. She avenged her sister’s death and she has saved so many more. She was so brave to be able to testify right in front of him and it’s even more amazing that she doesn’t have deep, deep self destructive issues from everything she went through. I was molested by my father and struggle a ton and she had to deal with even worse. And her poor, poor dad. Those kids should have been with him and he had to be devastated at being prevented from being able to protect those kids.
What happened to the mother? She is responsible for what happened to the children. I really hope that she is behind bars for neglecting her children in such a bad way.
A couple years ago, we visited her," Sayeh said. "The first two days would be fun and then it would go back to the same way it was. She'd drop us off at a relative's house for a few days. She'd yell at us, she'd hit my brother, she'd try hitting me." Pafford denies the claims, contending that her ex-husband has poisoned her ties to their children. Rivazfar stopped sending the children for unsupervised visits after Christmas 1994. If he does not bring them to Florida for eight weeks beginning Saturday, he could be arrested That bitch was able to get a judge to order unsupervised visitation even after this happened and she played the victim saying her daughter lied about her being abusive to her and her brother she threw blame on the innocent dad saying he brainwashed the kids, the nerve of that wench she doesn't take any responsibility for what happened to her children smh.
@@violetsrayreikishop2 she’s a piece of shit and I hope she lives everyday know that she let a monster into her home and kill her children. I hope she knows she is just as responsible
The end! I literally burst crying when she said she is now a trooper. This is such a heartbreaking story but the end is so so damn beautiful it truly is fascinating. She didn't let this take her down. She made something out of it. For her sister. I watched so many crime docus in over a decade but this one truly touched me. I wish her and her dad AND the couple who saved her nothing but the best in this world.
She was incredibly brave at such a young age and keeps being so. She was able to transform unimaginable trauma into strenght. She deserves a lot of happyness!
The death sentence is too mercifull. This is my suggestion. Take the devil to a good hospital w / the best surgeons . Prick his two eyes w/ a needle to make blind. Cut off both his arms and legs to make him disabled but be sure to let him live & then set him free.
I love how this channel highlights the survivors and shows how they’re living today, especially those giving back to the community to protect it in ways they weren’t protected. The system failed me so I work as a teacher to help the kids that need it.
I’ve become pretty desensitized to true crime but this one has tears flowing from my eyes. How dare such a brutal horrible monster put his disgusting hands on such beautiful innocent girls. Truly wishing he suffers for this life and the next one. Bless little Sayeh’s heart. She’s truly remarkable.
Same here, I've watched thousands of shows but a few types of cases really get to me. This was one. I wasn't really ready for it. My 2 daughters are roughly the same ages. I can't bring myself to watch everything about the Chris Watts case, for a similar reason probably :( ...May this little angel rest in peace. I'm so glad her sister survived, but sorry for all the pain it would have caused her.
With all sexual assault cases, my thoughts are all the same: I hope these guys drop the soap enough times that their assholes look like rotten tomatoes.
SAME HERE. It's why I love this channel - it's not often the victims'/survivors' stories are truly honored. They do an excellent job of making sure their voices are amplified.
As the oldest sister of two, this story breaks my heart. If my little sister or brother were taken like this, I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'm glad he got the death penalty. He never hurt another child again.
Absolutely blown away by her strength, courage, and resolve, but absolutely heartbroken that she should ever have to display those things in the first place. 💔 Rest in peace, Sarah. 🕊
It's shocking she was so conditioned to accept his abuse that she didn't cry out to the truck that passed by "HELP! HE'S NOT MY DAD! HELP!" This is a warning to all the desperate #singlemothers- put your kids before your dating life.
It was a moment that passed by so fast. Anything could have happened. She was trying to protect her sister. If she said that wasn't her dad, Ray was capable of killing the bystander and killing both of them on the spot, so she probably wouldn't be here to put him behind bars
Why are single mothers portrayed as desperate? Also, why highlight mothers when there are single fathers out there too? You can have a perfectly normal dating life as a single parent. In this case, the mother was an abusive alcoholic.... a bad parent regardless of who she dated. It is unsurprising that she made poor choices.
This happens in 2 parent homes too. Most single moms are not desperate, alcoholic, or bringing home the first penis they meet. Most are hard working and protect their children often neglecting their own needs.
She left the abuser after OTHER ppl noticed the abuse but she failed to tell her kids what was going on and that he should no longer be in their life. They were kidnapped by someone they knew and he was able to use that against them. P.s. NOT single mother's but single parents. Dad's neglect kids for their gfs a lot. It happened to my first child. He left us to starve for his secret gf and lied about being depressed and suicidal. Then bagged me to take him back and I almost did until I found out he dated someone else and we were intimate during that time. He got pissed at me and went crazy messing with me, disappeared for a while with her. I filed for child support and he began messing with me through courts and married the girl to look more stable so he had an upper hand. He knew I would put our child before other relationships. Anyway, thanks to his crazy ways and messing with me, I found the love of my life and had more kids and very happy today. Yes, we should always out kids first, they are not an item or a thing to be divided and their well being is more important that trying to get back at your ex or any selfish way.
What about the "mother" who brought all of this into her innocent children's lives? Bringing random men home at all hours of the night and giving them free reign over her kids. Leaving her children ALONE with these strangers and turning her head when this man would take her daughter to be alone with him. She is just as guilty and yet we hear nothing about any legal action being taken against her. Exactly why was she awarded custody in the first place? I will never understand.
Unfortunately, no...the mother did not change. She laid low for a few years after the trial, then sued the father for full custody after the children finally refused to come to Florida to visit her. Florida granted her full custody because "the father denied the mother her custody rights by not sending the children to Florida," but New York courts refused to recognize the order. The mother kept trying to bring the father to court for years after that until Sayeh turned 18. She still tried to get full custody of the younger brother but finally gave up after a few months. Even when they did visit her, Sayeh reported "everything would be fine for two or three days, then she'd start yelling at us, hit my brother and tried hitting me, then drop us off at relatives." The mother is a complete POS, who STILL doesn't give two sh*ts about her children, and as far as I've been able to find out has never been punished by the State of Florida.
I can’t believe that some people do this horrible shit. CPS failed to protect them, which is horrible. No kid or minor in general should live through this.
She outlived the ordeal to seal the fate of her abuser and her sister's killer, and then, when she grove up, she continued to protect the vulnerable. Just WOW!!!
I’m speechless and crying like a baby. Thank You so much for being so brave to share this story. May your precious sister RIP. That man was a monster and you slayed the giant with your strength.
My respect for this woman. As an older sister myself, I understand her need to protect her little siblings. I can't imagine her pain and trauma from that horrible crime
Sayeh is an inspiration to me and probably everyone else who watches this, but especially for children who have had to grow up too fast, children failed by parents who became protectors themselves, and children victimized by predators and sworn to secrecy. I would like to shake her hand someday. What a terrible introduction she was given to this world. She learned about the worst experiences life has to offer right out of the gate, and she powered on through them with righteous spiritual love. I am however saddened to think of how much stress she has to manage in the aftermath. To see her as an adult today, she comes across and healthy, beautiful and strong, with a career and insight, and is a glowing example of healing to me. I know there must've been a process to this place in her life, I'm curious to hear more of her insight into the other side of trauma. Thank you Sayeh for this look into your life, and the resulting hope and love to be found inside of it.
This touches me so deep cause I’ve always been the only protecting my brothers from the abuse we went through as a kid and to this day they don’t think we lived in a bad place cause I took everything for them. This would tear me up inside cause as the oldest we try out best to protect our siblings no matter what. And when anything happens to them we feel solely responsible for it. Stay strong everyone who takes care of your family. You got this and we’re all here to help
What a marvellous woman she has become. She suffered so much terror, pain and heartache in her young life. She's become a symbol of hope, kindness and understanding. Her little sister would be so proud of her.
Wow this had me in tears. I cannot imagine the horror those poor babies were subjected to. Incredible what she’s done with her life against those odds 😭😭😭
I know what it's like to be a scared little girl on a stand putting someone away. I was molested by my grandfather on my mom's side. This girl went through way worse than I did though and I'm so proud of her for all she was able to do. That's one tough kid ❤️
Hey!dont compare what u suffered to what the girl passed tru!you too suffered dont think that it were worse than the orther girl you both had suffered but in different ways
This is such a bittersweet story. She is so extremely strong to fight not only for herself to fight to stay alive BUT to make sure her sister got the justice that she deserved!!!! May Sarah’s sweet soul be at peace!! It’s so awesome she grew up to continue the fight as she became a highway patrol!! Good for you girl!! Good for you!! ❤
This is definitely a case that shows why mothers don’t deserve to always have the children. It’s awful how mother so easily just get custody even if their awful people and this has ended in so many abuse Cases and murders
There are also cases where the fathers got the children and abused them, so wouldn’t judge who to have the children by parent’s gender in the first place. Some moms or dads can be hell of livings that don’t deserve these angels.
I’m a Mum an agree with 100%. My Mum was abusive. she left when I was 6 and thankfully my Dad got custody of me and my siblings because then she didn’t want us. She had a new boy friend and that’s all she cared about. It would have been ok if that was how she left it but she came back when I was ten, and instead of finally becoming the Mum we should have had she subjected us more of her abuse. She hated me, but I was a kid and I didn’t deserve it. She abuse me as baby till I was six and then comes back to do it again. There is no excuse she could ever give that makes what she did ok. Women aren’t always the mothers society wants to believe they are, and that they should be.
My blood ran cold. I had a similar upbringing in the 80s. One of my friends lost her life. The moms left for bars, and would let ANYONE watch their kids, as long as they could party. I'm not as strong as Sayeh. I retreated from the world. I commend all she has done for society. Standing Ovation*
Sayeh became a state trooper. She protected Sara as long as and the best she could. Then she continues to protect everyone else she can. Sayeh is an angel on earth and her little sister an angel above..
Sayeh, you were such a wonderful child and continue to be a strong woman helping others. Your sister and thousands, if not millions of people are in awe of you and so proud of you! Sara is #1 on that list! I also hope your stories give a STRONG reminder to mothers that their priority should always be their children…especially when you fight to get full custody….only to be disgustingly selfish, leaving them to care for themselves and put them in terrible danger over and over and over again! Be like Sayah…..not her “mom”. Thank you for sharing your story and spending your life protecting others. ❤️🙏🏼
So happy to see she gets married in two days. To have such strength as a child and to not go in the direction of self destruction is something most people don’t have. This story will stick with me forever.
Sayeh is truly a hero. She was forced to grow up so young and endure the worst things a child could go through and yet she stood up to her monster. She still continues to help others to this day, so much strength.
Just absolutely awful what these two endured at the hands of this monster. DP rightly deserved!! Sara is definitely living on through her sister's determination and spirit. Hope the mom has lived with constant regret and anguish ever since that happened. Anyhow, thanks again for another survivor story -- love these! -- and hope your weekend is off to a great start!!
Her level of bravery at the age of 8 is out of this world! Sarah is your guardian angel, and you are the guardian angel to those people whom you have helped and will help in the future 💖🫶 God bless your strong heart!
As an older sister, I cannot imagine the pain that Sayeh must've felt listening to her little sister being murdered and being helpless and not being able to protect her. It makes me sick that people are capable of this. I was sobbing the entire time. God bless her and I hope she lives a wonderful happy life, and that the pain eases.
This is sad & inspiring. This is why ppl that have childhood trauma don’t get to use that as an excuse to be danger to society. This women experienced her own on top of that of her sister & look at what she has done for herself & probably several families. Keep going you sister will carry you ❤😭
This is incredibly inspirational. She easily could have spiraled down a different path of darkness, but instead she triumphed and is now a fighter and advocate, good for her!! 👌🏼👌🏼🖤
I am so damn proud of you and Sara. You two are my heroes, and true heroes to girls and women everywhere. I cannot imagine what that animal put you and your beloved sister through.
This was so moving, what an incredibly strong girl Sayeh was, and she is an inspiration to so many people now. I recently found your channel and I’m glad you did. Thank you for showing us that victims become stronger from truly tragic events.
Totally her fault, but dude um. She wasn't the one who repeatedly raped a girl + left her for dead and killed her little sister. The mother deserves to rot in prison, but the offender is still the offender.
@@DUWANGlai_kangyi no doubt. But I feel like the man wouldn’t even have been in the same house if it wasn’t for her alcoholic mother. Ur not clear in the head and ur better judgement is completely lost when ur an alcoholic.
This is so sad , and just goes to prove how the system yet again failed children . Same with the mother . They’ve got reports of cigarette burns and bruises on the children and didn’t do a thing . God helped this child get thru that excruciating pain she went though . I’m glad she was able to get her justice especially for her little sister . My heart goes out to her and my condolences to her & her family . ❤️
@@alvarezzz530 maybe if there was any god that kid wouldn't have been raped and her sister killed but hey what do I know? God DIDN'T help this child, obviously. You weird, sick freak - you say that to a child that had been raped and tortured and had to witness her sisters murder? "God helped her" - NOBODY helped her or her sister! That child and now woman is resilient. Some people are, some people aren't. Resilience has nothing to do with God. Her strength is her very own and not some made up magical BS man in the sky who "helped" her. If there is a God he didn't do SHITE.
@@KrabbyPatty_ I understand why you asked that,I ask myself everyday why didn't God save my siblings and I from sexual and physical abuse..But know what? He did. He intervened when our sperm donor went to prison...
@@ashleybowman7605 he didn't do anything or else it wouldn't have happened in the first place. All the good and bad things that humans do are their very own doings and choices. There's no magical man protecting you (obviously, since you weren't protected) just like there's no magical man making people do evil things. There are no higher powers at work here. Just people and the chemicals in their brains.
She's a real life superhero! Even though her sister's life was short her memory will always live on through her big sister. Strong girls and such a strong woman. God bless her and her family.
This is so empowering!! Thank you for giving the victims of these crimes a voice to share their victory of these cowards that try to harm them in the most heinous ways. God bless you girl, as a big sister myself who had to help care for my younger siblings, I’m so proud of you for fighting for them. May God keep you safe and let no harm come to you! ❤️
I can’t imagine the nightmare these little girls had to go through and the fact that she still fought for herself and her sister is really inspiring. She’s so strong and that criminal is a coward
I can’t imagine the pain the little had to go through and it breaks my heart. Any single parents out there, please do everything to protect your children until they can be independent. You have taken them to this world, please be responsible!!
I completely broke down when Sayeh said that Sara is now her guardian angel, watching down on her and protecting her sister. Absolutely incredible, so moving 🤍
My cousins are in a similar situation where their parents got a divorce and my aunt, who is very mentally ill and an alcoholic won custody of them. She often leaves them alone for even days on end with boyfriends she has just started dating. This story is truly devastating, and it terrifies me that something like this might happen to them.
I am infuriated by mothers like the one in this case who put alcohol and their drunken libidos before their own children. My own mother dealt with this with her drunk of a foster mother and my mom ended up raped and nearly killed by it at 18 months old. From then on she ended up being regularly sexually assaulted by her foster mother’s many one-night stands. I’m not saying that single mothers shouldn’t be allowed to date but they shouldn’t let these people around their children. Pedophiles regularly target single mothers because they want access to the child(ren) and single mothers often let their guards down because they’re lonely and just grateful to find someone who they believe wants them even though they have children. This happened with my mother in the sense that she married my father and willfully conceived me with him in hopes of having a daughter despite the fact that she knew my father was a convicted pedophile. As a result my life was just like hers in the sense that my father sexually abused me from infancy until I was about 13-14 years old. I believe that he sexually assaulted some of my friends but I don’t have any proof. I think my mother was willfully ignorant and was able to remain as such because I didn’t tell her what my dad was doing to me and no other children came forward with accusations so in her mind he was honoring her promise to never reoffend. If you are a single mother and trying to date I plead with you to know your partners inside and out before you even entertain the thought of having them around your children. If you want to just have some fun one-night stands, fine, but don’t bring these people into your house and fall asleep where they can have access to your children. Have the encounters at your partners’ homes, hotel rooms, anywhere but at home if your kids are there. And if you find out your partner is a pedophile, even if they were only ever arrested and charged for it once, don’t believe them when they try to sell you some story about how it was a misunderstanding or how they’ve changed. My father was only ever convicted once but that just meant he was only ever caught once. Once a pedophile, always a pedophile. Some dick is not worth your child’s sanity or possibly even their life. And just because they’re sleeping with you doesn’t mean that they don’t want to hurt your children. To them, sleeping with you is a means to an end. If you value your partner over your children you are scum. You’re as vile as the perpetrator you exposed your kids to.
I'm so sorry that you went through this! Even if your mother was also a victim in the beginning she stopped being that when she knowingly got with a pedophile and trusted his untrue words. Hope you're in a safe environment right now and working on healing! Sending many virtual hugs! You're right about single mothers vetting their boyfriends better before introducing them to their children by the way!
This story is crazy. I can't believe that despite going though that hell herself she birthed a child into this world for her pedophile husband to abuse. I'm so sorry
Thank you. I just don’t want any children to end up like me. I’m a disaster, mental health-wise and at 40 I’m only now beginning to dig into my past with a trusted therapist and trying to climb out of this hole I’m in. If I can educate one mother to keep her partner away from her kids until she feels with the most certainty that she can that it’s safe then I’ve achieved some meaning out of my experience. That’s what I hope for.

Glad there are still people out there that are fighting the good fight. Thank you for service, and holding these people accountable for their horrendous actions. You are truly an inspiration.
I wonder if the father also has her brother, I hope
@@crm208 says he got both her and her brother, but no celebration because they were grieving.
@Tomasino Romano I am so sorry this happened to you
Exactly! There needs to be more people on the force who are working to help make this world a better place. Now a days most of the officers are just people who are on a power trip and have a superiority complex.
@Tomasino Romano 🫂
While experiencing her worst pain, she calmed her little sister. She was a brave big sister, respect.
Right?! This poor child 💔
May god allways be by you’re side god bless!
Yes that's true... except the moment she played dead but without doing so, they both would not be here and ray may not have gotten caught right away. Brave inspiration she is. This case breaks my heart.
Wow GOD BLESS YOU SWEET BRAVE STRONG GIRL❣️🤯💔🙏❤️✌️💞🌞
What an amazing person
So … CPS failed at their job to protect these children. It’s sickening to me to think this whole thing could have been avoided.
the mom failed. CPS can only do so much and really are put in bureaucratic red tape. you have no idea how hard it is to take a kid from the mother without the most solid, iron clad, video proof of abuse.
Exactly!!
@@carl1367 Of course the mom failed. Yes, she had zero instinct as a mother which is why the cigarette burn on a child’s hand is the job of CPS to take immediate action.Huge huge red flags when they are called to “investigate” MULTIPLE cases.
@@weave_of_k I agree I'm just saying CPS even with a lot of proof can't just remove a child easily. I mean look even after this the dad still had to fight for custody, after the mother's boyfriend slit her kids throat the mother still had custody rights. So I guarantee CPS was trying to get the kids out but the way the laws work is they have to basically have video of the mother abusing her kids for CPS to take kids away. Really if you want to say who failed these kids it's the judge because I guarantee CPS filed a order to remove and a judge said naw we wanna keep kids with the mom
There are so many stories of CPS taking children away from loving families for the most stupid reasons, yet they allow abuse like this to go unchecked. What is just as alarming is the failure of the Citizen Review Panels to effectively hold CPS accountable for their poor decision making. There needs to be a more powerful & independent review board focused on CPS.
How on earth did she have this level of strength? She certainly didn’t inherit it from her mother. It’s amazing.
Her father , than
Strength isn't always passed down. It's a choice.
@@JubilantMints it’s god
@@parisdawson5024 no it isn’t. You’re doing a disservice to her strength as well insulting all the children who didn’t have her strength, like they just weren’t chosen by god
Life taught her,, not the mother,, 😑😭😭😭
I think it's horrible that they gave full custody to an alcoholic mother over a stable loving father. So many things went wrong here and led to this horrible crime. :(
This is how society is. Often women are favoritized
@@jenni_noura9170 yeah.. the justice system is shit
@@pizzapizza6722 yeah also the fees men has to pay for not staying with their wife and divorcing her. One dude I saw went bankrupt when the court wanted 40% of his living expenses and went homeless. I know it hurts when the one you love leaves you. But in time these emotions fade. People should think first what is best for the kids not their egos.
It was the late 80's, fortunately it's more common now for fathers to get custody, but not as common as it should be.
@@jenni_noura9170 no they’re not. This is inherently wrong, those kids obviously should have been placed with their father but don’t you dare say women are treated better in society than men because it’s simply false.
As a single mother of two girls, the only thing I can say is: NEVER TRUST PEOPLE AROUND YOUR CHILDREN. Sometimes you might think you're sacrificing your youth and missing a lot outside, but there's nothing worth more than being with your children and seeing them grow.
I don't like my 17 year old going out I don't onow what I would do I'm glad she got away and got him
Absolutely and unfortunately single mothers are targets for children to be abused! You cannot be sure that a man wants to be with you to gain access to your children. 😢 I made the decision after separating from my child’s father that I would remain a single mother until my child is an adult. Working in law, unfortunately we see the same formulaic predatory behaviour of children being abused by step fathers… it is enough for me to stay single and keep my child safe. Single mothers please please PLEASE reconsider inviting another man into your home. You may think being without a partner is lonely and unbearable, but the damage from your child being abused cannot be undone and you WILL blame yourself. It is not just drug addicted mothers who get caught up in this, believe you me, I see it weekly in my job and it is rife!
A lot of parents that go out partying every weekend need to hear this. Be a parent and take care of your kids
@@scottwhite5937 they do we all make mistakes we are human but to bring in strange men I have been single a while now and would never bring different men home she must have been broken it's just sad 😢
true shit. Love seeing other women express ACTUAL opinions that can help other women feel like they aren't alone while giving good advice. I hope to one day see the majority think like this. It seems every mother is at some point afraid to be a mother but our culture certainly does seem to groom young women into this state of mind PERPETUALLY, which is a big fkn problem.
The fact that she became a state trooper made me tear up. No innocent child has to go through this.
I’d like to talk to her one day
No child ever SHOULD go through this
Your wording is complete ick
What about the mother? She deserves to rot in jail too!! She did absolutely nothing knowing that her so called "boyfriend" was assaulting her child!! Taking her into the room alone. What do these selfish, heartless mother's end up with full custody? When they don't even wanna take care of there own children!! Especially when the Father is fighting for custody.!!
Exactly!!
Exactly!!
Paycheck! Child support and more money from the government.
Because women pushed for it in the courts, women's rights, uncivilized women thinking they're standing for something.
@@Catapultdragondude amen
I hope the mother was punished as well, she choose her addiction over her children, and one list her life because of it. Never bring just anyone around your children, and never ever leave you’re children with anyone! What a brave little girl, and very strong woman the oldest was and is. Your sister is always with you, and proud of the work you continue to do.
Yeah, the neglect it real. I wonder why they didn't follow up about the mom?
I bet that mom doesn’t care. My mother chose drugs over us and abused us heavily and now plays the victim card. She will find excuses for her behavior I bet.
Why doesn't this comment have more likes?? You got people who give thousands of likes to redundant comments but this one here speaks the absolute truth.
The mom should rot in jail as well for bringing such terrible things on her daughter.
@@ravenbeaudoin109 mine too! She is the victim and narcissist
Her mother betrayed her, a family court judge failed her, a CPS officer failed her. But, her strength, courage and loving father let her be a child again and live a full happy life.
What happy?
@@shaksheedigitalmarketing As you can see, she's living now a happy life. Helping and inspiring other people. Use your brain.
Her mother is the worst .
What an absolute failure of a mother. This is such a horrible and heart-wrenching case, and I genuinely hope this guy rots in hell for what he did.
aparently he died of natural causes in 2004 aged 48 while on death row.
Since we have zero proof of an afterlife I think we need infinitely harsher punishments in this life. The dad should be able to tie this guy up and do whatever he wants with him.
No, he needs to rot in prison for the rest of his life. No death penalty; I don't think revenge belongs in the justice system. A rotting carcass vs a rotting old man in prison, no friends, no love. I just hope he drops the soap. The only love he deserves.
@@kimmygibler760 I agree 👍
Including the mother what a worst woman ever. This happen because of her shit
I'm so proud of the woman she became.
Rip to the young child who never got the chance to grow up.
And rip to the girl who was forced to grow up far too early in life. 😢 She’s so strong
All because the f up mother picked alcohol and random dick over her children. I hate women like her!
@@littlewillowlinda She's still alive, she's the woman who you saw in the video
As someone who also did everything to shield their little sister from abuse as children, this one really choked me up. What a strong little girl.
I’m sorry you had to go throughout that, blessing to you and your sibling!
Same 🫶🏼
I'm so sorry ❤ I hope that you and your sister have all the healing and happiness you deserve in life
Not mentioned in this video is that just last year, Sayeh was named lead investigator on a case where a school principal was accused of sexually abusing students. She's really gone on to save lives.
Edited to add: The trial for that principal started this week, I think. It's local news for me, so I'll try to edit this comment when the verdict is in.
Final Edit: The jury found him guilty of 46 out of 50 charges including sexual assault and endangering of a minor. The maximum sentence is 20 years in prison (I have no idea if that’s per conviction or for all charges at once).
Thanks for that..
this story is crazy
WOW! God kept her here to continue to save lives. She’s so loving, motherly, smart, brave & strong. She had a calling on her life 🙌🏾🥹🙏🏾♥️🔥
Leaving a comment so I can get an update

How I wish the father would of had custody of his kids 😢 the mother is a monster to expose them to such danger. She is so brave to have made it through that nightmare!
I wished the father would of fought tooth and nail to get his kids from that trifling mother 😤🤬🤬🤬
He failed them too. Just because you don’t get full custody, you don’t just abandon them, and move to another state.
He called CPS in the mom a few times
@@Msboochie2 um he fought for years to get them
Sad.. I hate these double standards.. Woman always get custody of the kids... Sick. This woman is horrible
I feel bad for Sarah . She deserved to live. She was just a kid who had her whole life ahead of her.
And her last thought was that her sister was dead
@@blueberrybubble5391oh god no 😭😭😭😭
Crying rn.
Most people who survive things like this don’t think they had any reason to survive, but this girl says, “I lived so it would never happen again.” That’s good to hear
Usually, we continue on into abusive relationships, or we become very promiscuous. Some of us will learn to value ourselves and move forward in life. We also develop deep compassion for others.
Yes its good to hear that their is hope after a horrible misjustice
As she described what Ray did to her and the last moments of her little sister’s life, tears rolled down my cheeks. How can one be so evil ?! Glad she avenged her little sister and lives the way she does now. I’m sure there isn’t a day that goes by where she’s not thinking of her sister. She’s living for herself and her sister.
That monster may have been physically stronger than her, but her psychological and emotional strength at just 8 shows how much of a coward he is compared to her. It's so amazing to see what she has become and how many lives she will continue to save despite her terrible hardship. Such an inspiration!
Very well said
Agreed, but I’d rather say an example of bravery instead of inspiration.
What an incredibly brave story.
Her mother deserved a similar punishment for child endangerment. RIP Sara.
That b**ch (the mother) had the
nerve to petition for custody after all this-
and a Florida judge enforced it-even
ordering them to move back to Florida at
one point. I am LIVID on top of feeling so
sad for them. She failed them in every way
possible and deserved no more chances to
hurt and neglect them.
There is an old article on New York Times about it.
Very true her mother deserved the same punishment.
RIP Sarah, if you watch over your sister she’s a strong, strong woman and I’m so proud of her for all she did ❤
Children services failed them, the courts sometimes give the mom preference. The dad should’ve been awarded custody, such a sad case. She was brave for her sister, RIP Sara.
Child services the courts most likely every adult in her life other than her father failed that child and her sister. This is what happens when the courts feel that a child should be with their mother simply because the mother is the female in our society is female biased when it comes to child custody. Anybody who argues that fact is a fool because this is the primary example this one specific case that we're watching.
My mother was awarded me and it should have been my dad. I was just a paycheck. I was raised by grandparents. But my bio mom got the check
You can thank the patriarchy for that. It’s because mothers are usually default parents and a lot of dads have minimal interest in their kids once they break up with the mom.
This is why we say both mom and dad should take part in looking after the kids, instead of putting all the load on the mother. The mother can also support the family by going to work. But male chauvinists don't want to hear about that
Rest in peace so sorry
I respect how she makes sure to include her sister saying "WE made this happen", putting an end to it.
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a parent and it was my responsibility to keep my younger two siblings safe. The part during the raped when she was telling her sister it was going to be ok and that it's almost over. Was incredibly triggering memories I didn't know I had. I welcome these chances to grow.
I'm so sorry ❤ I hope you and your siblings have all of the healing and happiness you deserve in life
As an older brother of two, I feel her pain. This is got to be one of my worst fears, so thank you Seyah Rivazfar for your service and your incredible bravery.
You have a good heart.
Her pain? You lost a sibling as well?
@@xKouture Nah i think it means he also feels her pain when she lost a sibling
@@xKouturehe understands her pain
Xkouture. E M P A T H Y
She had to take the role of a mother at such a young age. It's amazing how she never lost hope. She's such a strong woman.
I absolutely love that Ray had to sit there and watch a 9 year old child that he thought he had for sure killed seal his fate in that courtroom.
Holy cow. I'm crying. This is beyond moving. Her sister has to be so proud of her. That couple who helped her are amazing, RIP to her poor sister, and it's such a shame the dad didn't get custody of the kids especially with the mom at the time being in such an unstable unhealthy household situation. Man these cases break my heart and move me so much through a rollercoaster of emotions. That girl went thru so much crap and she has pushed thru, survived, and thrived to now help her community. Wow. She's so impressive. Sending my love and utmost respect.
If he didn’t get custody he was probably just as bad as the mom. Might be wrong though
@@littlewillowlinda did you watch the entire video? You can see pictures of sayeh with her dad, happy and healthy and loved. Obviously he raised her and her brother well once he got custody. The unfortunate reality is that women get custody almost always, and women are believed by the courts almost always. Even when the mother is the danger and the wrong parent for the child or children. Your supposition is insensitive and most likely wrong, considering the video as a whole.
@@Kesalley0805 i did not mean to upset you, and yes I do know that usually they side with the mom. I was just saying that in the video they didn’t share anything about the dad at all.
This is partly the moms fault.. if she hadn’t gotten authority of her children, and admitted to not being healthy enough to take care of her children responsibly, none of this wouldve happened.
@@zaander2228 correction, this is ALL the mom’s fault for exposing her children to the drunken dreg predators of society just to go have drinks and bring more pedos home. if she hadn’t been a drunk and befriended ray, he wouldn’t have come to their home, raped sayah and kidnapped the girls. sick bastard.
I can’t stop crying, this girl is the definition of the word BRAVERY. I will never forget this as long as I live.
My utmost respect to this most wonderful elder sister who in the most fearful moment could still try to calm and comfort her little sister who must have thought she had dropped dead . Her great presence of mind saved her life but unfortunately her little sister couldn't repeat the pretence because the killer was around and she had to die in great fear😟😔. She's meant to bring the murderer to justice and to avenge her little sister and protect small kids in the future which she is doing just that🙏👍😌
I hope the police awarded her a citizen award for getting a hardened criminal off the streets.
I was only 20 with a new born when I became a single mom, and I never left my daughter alone with anyone or let anyone change her diapers. Women please love your babies enough to keep them safe
The court unfortunately tends to side with the mother in custody cases. There are so many horrible mothers that obtain custody.
The fact that it still took years for the father to gain custody is beyond baffling.
Sexist courts. Disgusting.
Because is she is woman's that's why and it disgusting to me
Same happened to me when my parents divorced they decided to give the custody to my unemployed alcoholic mother instead of my father with a high income job and no addiction
And so many horrible dads too. They are always mistakes. And it’s horrible and not fair but unfortunately it happens. My friend never wanted to go to see his dad. Now I know why and it has nothing pretty.
She was so brave. She avenged her sister’s death and she has saved so many more. She was so brave to be able to testify right in front of him and it’s even more amazing that she doesn’t have deep, deep self destructive issues from everything she went through. I was molested by my father and struggle a ton and she had to deal with even worse.
And her poor, poor dad. Those kids should have been with him and he had to be devastated at being prevented from being able to protect those kids.
@@fouziasadiq4223 Very well said..and gosh..I'm so so sorry..I hope you're okay. Much love your way.
I'm crying so hard. What a strong brave smart lil girl she was. She's destined to be an officer. What a hero. And rest in peace precious Sarah.
The mom(if you can call her that) should've been charged too. It was her fault Sayah and Sara went through such a horrible thing. RIP Sara
What happened to the mother? She is responsible for what happened to the children. I really hope that she is behind bars for neglecting her children in such a bad way.
A couple years ago, we visited her," Sayeh said. "The first two days would be fun and then it would go back to the same way it was. She'd drop us off at a relative's house for a few days. She'd yell at us, she'd hit my brother, she'd try hitting me."
Pafford denies the claims, contending that her ex-husband has poisoned her ties to their children.
Rivazfar stopped sending the children for unsupervised visits after Christmas 1994. If he does not bring them to Florida for eight weeks beginning Saturday, he could be arrested
That bitch was able to get a judge to order unsupervised visitation even after this happened and she played the victim saying her daughter lied about her being abusive to her and her brother she threw blame on the innocent dad saying he brainwashed the kids, the nerve of that wench she doesn't take any responsibility for what happened to her children smh.
@@violetsrayreikishop2 she’s a piece of shit and I hope she lives everyday know that she let a monster into her home and kill her children. I hope she knows she is just as responsible
The end! I literally burst crying when she said she is now a trooper. This is such a heartbreaking story but the end is so so damn beautiful it truly is fascinating. She didn't let this take her down. She made something out of it. For her sister. I watched so many crime docus in over a decade but this one truly touched me. I wish her and her dad AND the couple who saved her nothing but the best in this world.
Hearing her sister was killed just made me cry. Those poor girls.
Mature behond her years.
@@joaquimrodriguez8961 she really was
She was incredibly brave at such a young age and keeps being so. She was able to transform unimaginable trauma into strenght. She deserves a lot of happyness!
Happiness*
The death sentence is too mercifull. This is my suggestion. Take the devil to a good hospital w / the best surgeons . Prick his two eyes w/ a needle to make blind. Cut off both his arms and legs to make him disabled but be sure to let him live & then set him free.
@@gheata_playz874 you dont have to correct them hun💀
@@mustangsandmadras sorry
I love how this channel highlights the survivors and shows how they’re living today, especially those giving back to the community to protect it in ways they weren’t protected. The system failed me so I work as a teacher to help the kids that need it.
I’ve become pretty desensitized to true crime but this one has tears flowing from my eyes. How dare such a brutal horrible monster put his disgusting hands on such beautiful innocent girls. Truly wishing he suffers for this life and the next one. Bless little Sayeh’s heart. She’s truly remarkable.
Same here, I've watched thousands of shows but a few types of cases really get to me. This was one. I wasn't really ready for it. My 2 daughters are roughly the same ages. I can't bring myself to watch everything about the Chris Watts case, for a similar reason probably :( ...May this little angel rest in peace. I'm so glad her sister survived, but sorry for all the pain it would have caused her.
With all sexual assault cases, my thoughts are all the same:
I hope these guys drop the soap enough times that their assholes look like rotten tomatoes.
True. This one was so painful to watch. What a horrible disgusting mother! Why have kids when you’re not ready to step up for their well being? 😢
SAME HERE. It's why I love this channel - it's not often the victims'/survivors' stories are truly honored. They do an excellent job of making sure their voices are amplified.
As the oldest sister of two, this story breaks my heart. If my little sister or brother were taken like this, I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'm glad he got the death penalty. He never hurt another child again.
Absolutely blown away by her strength, courage, and resolve, but absolutely heartbroken that she should ever have to display those things in the first place. 💔
Rest in peace, Sarah. 🕊
It's shocking she was so conditioned to accept his abuse that she didn't cry out to the truck that passed by "HELP! HE'S NOT MY DAD! HELP!" This is a warning to all the desperate #singlemothers- put your kids before your dating life.
It was a moment that passed by so fast. Anything could have happened. She was trying to protect her sister. If she said that wasn't her dad, Ray was capable of killing the bystander and killing both of them on the spot, so she probably wouldn't be here to put him behind bars
Why are single mothers portrayed as desperate? Also, why highlight mothers when there are single fathers out there too?
You can have a perfectly normal dating life as a single parent.
In this case, the mother was an abusive alcoholic.... a bad parent regardless of who she dated. It is unsurprising that she made poor choices.
This happens in 2 parent homes too. Most single moms are not desperate, alcoholic, or bringing home the first penis they meet. Most are hard working and protect their children often neglecting their own needs.
She left the abuser after OTHER ppl noticed the abuse but she failed to tell her kids what was going on and that he should no longer be in their life. They were kidnapped by someone they knew and he was able to use that against them.
P.s. NOT single mother's but single parents. Dad's neglect kids for their gfs a lot. It happened to my first child. He left us to starve for his secret gf and lied about being depressed and suicidal. Then bagged me to take him back and I almost did until I found out he dated someone else and we were intimate during that time. He got pissed at me and went crazy messing with me, disappeared for a while with her. I filed for child support and he began messing with me through courts and married the girl to look more stable so he had an upper hand. He knew I would put our child before other relationships. Anyway, thanks to his crazy ways and messing with me, I found the love of my life and had more kids and very happy today. Yes, we should always out kids first, they are not an item or a thing to be divided and their well being is more important that trying to get back at your ex or any selfish way.
Yes selfish women dont care abt their kids very sad
What about the "mother" who brought all of this into her innocent children's lives? Bringing random men home at all hours of the night and giving them free reign over her kids. Leaving her children ALONE with these strangers and turning her head when this man would take her daughter to be alone with him. She is just as guilty and yet we hear nothing about any legal action being taken against her. Exactly why was she awarded custody in the first place? I will never understand.
That's what I want to know.
She is no mother.
@@fastgurrrl agreed. But we can't forget that she was the enabler. I'd like to know if she was charged with anything.
@@corineusa1454... if she wasn't charged it is a travesty. Sadly, so many women are bar hoppers and hook up with evildoers.
same thoughts
Much love to the couple that found her, and did everything right to make sure she had the best chance to survive.
As the oldest of 5 this absolutely destroys me. I couldn’t imagine losing any of them. That’s such a different pain. She’s so brave and strong.
What happened to their mother? I certainly hope she was charged with the many crimes she committed against her children.
Sounds to me like she needs some good old community justice… hope she’s suffering incredibly if she’s still alive.
I was about to comment the same thing! She was so irresponsible as a mother she deserves some sort of punishment too
@@vanessapaviag ikr
Unfortunately, no...the mother did not change. She laid low for a few years after the trial, then sued the father for full custody after the children finally refused to come to Florida to visit her. Florida granted her full custody because "the father denied the mother her custody rights by not sending the children to Florida," but New York courts refused to recognize the order. The mother kept trying to bring the father to court for years after that until Sayeh turned 18. She still tried to get full custody of the younger brother but finally gave up after a few months.
Even when they did visit her, Sayeh reported "everything would be fine for two or three days, then she'd start yelling at us, hit my brother and tried hitting me, then drop us off at relatives." The mother is a complete POS, who STILL doesn't give two sh*ts about her children, and as far as I've been able to find out has never been punished by the State of Florida.
@@Promses2Keep she really is a nutcase. I wonder how she feels about this particular night ?
I can’t believe that some people do this horrible shit. CPS failed to protect them, which is horrible. No kid or minor in general should live through this.
This is heartbreaking! Shame on that mom! Poor little girls! What a strong girl for all she went through!! God bless her!!
She outlived the ordeal to seal the fate of her abuser and her sister's killer, and then, when she grove up, she continued to protect the vulnerable. Just WOW!!!
I’m speechless and crying like a baby. Thank You so much for being so brave to share this story. May your precious sister RIP. That man was a monster and you slayed the giant with your strength.
My respect for this woman. As an older sister myself, I understand her need to protect her little siblings. I can't imagine her pain and trauma from that horrible crime
Sayeh is an inspiration to me and probably everyone else who watches this, but especially for children who have had to grow up too fast, children failed by parents who became protectors themselves, and children victimized by predators and sworn to secrecy. I would like to shake her hand someday. What a terrible introduction she was given to this world. She learned about the worst experiences life has to offer right out of the gate, and she powered on through them with righteous spiritual love. I am however saddened to think of how much stress she has to manage in the aftermath. To see her as an adult today, she comes across and healthy, beautiful and strong, with a career and insight, and is a glowing example of healing to me. I know there must've been a process to this place in her life, I'm curious to hear more of her insight into the other side of trauma. Thank you Sayeh for this look into your life, and the resulting hope and love to be found inside of it.
Right on.
This touches me so deep cause I’ve always been the only protecting my brothers from the abuse we went through as a kid and to this day they don’t think we lived in a bad place cause I took everything for them. This would tear me up inside cause as the oldest we try out best to protect our siblings no matter what. And when anything happens to them we feel solely responsible for it. Stay strong everyone who takes care of your family. You got this and we’re all here to help
What a marvellous woman she has become. She suffered so much terror, pain and heartache in her young life. She's become a symbol of hope, kindness and understanding. Her little sister would be so proud of her.
She is the definition of strength. Wow. What a badass she's become.
She's amazing!
Amen!!!!
Absolutely!
Perfect word to describe her!
What a badass human being. The bravery and strength is incredible.
Wow this had me in tears. I cannot imagine the horror those poor babies were subjected to. Incredible what she’s done with her life against those odds 😭😭😭
I know what it's like to be a scared little girl on a stand putting someone away. I was molested by my grandfather on my mom's side. This girl went through way worse than I did though and I'm so proud of her for all she was able to do. That's one tough kid ❤️

After everything, she's still fighting and putting monsters away as a police officer, g'on girl, we are with you ❤️
This is definitely a case that shows why mothers don’t deserve to always have the children. It’s awful how mother so easily just get custody even if their awful people and this has ended in so many abuse Cases and murders
There are also cases where the fathers got the children and abused them, so wouldn’t judge who to have the children by parent’s gender in the first place. Some moms or dads can be hell of livings that don’t deserve these angels.
@@monolinny1817 This person was pointing how the court system favors mothers just because they are the ones who gave birth.
I’m a Mum an agree with 100%. My Mum was abusive. she left when I was 6 and thankfully my Dad got custody of me and my siblings because then she didn’t want us. She had a new boy friend and that’s all she cared about. It would have been ok if that was how she left it but she came back when I was ten, and instead of finally becoming the Mum we should have had she subjected us more of her abuse. She hated me, but I was a kid and I didn’t deserve it. She abuse me as baby till I was six and then comes back to do it again. There is no excuse she could ever give that makes what she did ok. Women aren’t always the mothers society wants to believe they are, and that they should be.
She's so amazing and strong. She saved countless girls and herself. I'm so sorry for her lost, no kid should experience that.
My blood ran cold. I had a similar upbringing in the 80s. One of my friends lost her life. The moms left for bars, and would let ANYONE watch their kids, as long as they could party. I'm not as strong as Sayeh. I retreated from the world. I commend all she has done for society. Standing Ovation*
Child protective services failed these kids. So heartbreaking, she is one brave girl! Bless her.
Some addicts and alcoholics should be sentenced to mandatory treatment. The mother was abusing the kids. This is criminal
Sayeh became a state trooper. She protected Sara as long as and the best she could. Then she continues to protect everyone else she can. Sayeh is an angel on earth and her little sister an angel above..
Sayeh, you were such a wonderful child and continue to be a strong woman helping others. Your sister and thousands, if not millions of people are in awe of you and so proud of you! Sara is #1 on that list!
I also hope your stories give a STRONG reminder to mothers that their priority should always be their children…especially when you fight to get full custody….only to be disgustingly selfish, leaving them to care for themselves and put them in terrible danger over and over and over again! Be like Sayah…..not her “mom”. Thank you for sharing your story and spending your life protecting others. ❤️🙏🏼
So happy to see she gets married in two days. To have such strength as a child and to not go in the direction of self destruction is something most people don’t have. This story will stick with me forever.
The fact this girl even made it that far is a miracle and i feel so bad for her i hope she is doing way better and is under REAL care
chills. This case is truly horrific. My heart goes out to the victims
You are one hero of a big sister. Get the monsters off the streets. What a dedication. Your little sister would be proud of you.
Sayeh is truly a hero. She was forced to grow up so young and endure the worst things a child could go through and yet she stood up to her monster. She still continues to help others to this day, so much strength.
Just absolutely awful what these two endured at the hands of this monster. DP rightly deserved!! Sara is definitely living on through her sister's determination and spirit.
Hope the mom has lived with constant regret and anguish ever since that happened.
Anyhow, thanks again for another survivor story -- love these! -- and hope your weekend is off to a great start!!
DP? Double penetration? Lol

Cases don’t usually make me this emotional but this actually made me cry. How can someone do this to literal babies?
Her level of bravery at the age of 8 is out of this world! Sarah is your guardian angel, and you are the guardian angel to those people whom you have helped and will help in the future 💖🫶 God bless your strong heart!
As an older sister, I cannot imagine the pain that Sayeh must've felt listening to her little sister being murdered and being helpless and not being able to protect her. It makes me sick that people are capable of this. I was sobbing the entire time.
God bless her and I hope she lives a wonderful happy life, and that the pain eases.
I love this channel. You do True Crime right, by focusing on the victims/survivors.
Thank you for watching! ❤
@@unseentruecrime U do a great job, thanx 4 that 😊
I agree. They do a good job
They don't only talk about the killer or abductor, and talk about the victims journey. I appreciate that.
I agree, fantastic channel!
She was so brave and selfless, through all her trauma she had to be what her mother never was. A living inspiration.
This is sad & inspiring. This is why ppl that have childhood trauma don’t get to use that as an excuse to be danger to society. This women experienced her own on top of that of her sister & look at what she has done for herself & probably several families. Keep going you sister will carry you ❤😭
Poor Sarah. She had to witness the horror Sayeh had to endure and then get killed brutally. My heart breaks. Just horrifying.
She has the strongest soul ever. Thank you for sharing your story Sayeh. You’re strength is out of this world. ❤️
This is incredibly inspirational. She easily could have spiraled down a different path of darkness, but instead she triumphed and is now a fighter and advocate, good for her!! 👌🏼👌🏼🖤
I am so damn proud of you and Sara. You two are my heroes, and true heroes to girls and women everywhere. I cannot imagine what that animal put you and your beloved sister through.
This is heartbreaking but this woman is also inspiring. Her intentions are sensible, pure and righteous.
This was so moving, what an incredibly strong girl Sayeh was, and she is an inspiration to so many people now. I recently found your channel and I’m glad you did. Thank you for showing us that victims become stronger from truly tragic events.
I cried so hard. I love how she turned out so strong, grew out from that terrible trauma.
It’s 100% all the moms fault I’m just completely appalled that she had to go through this and the abuse at home. Just terrible
It’s both of their faults, they both deserve to be punished. People are evil.
Totally her fault, but dude um. She wasn't the one who repeatedly raped a girl + left her for dead and killed her little sister. The mother deserves to rot in prison, but the offender is still the offender.
@@DUWANGlai_kangyi no doubt. But I feel like the man wouldn’t even have been in the same house if it wasn’t for her alcoholic mother. Ur not clear in the head and ur better judgement is completely lost when ur an alcoholic.
@@mattg1611 oh, definitely
@@mattg1611If she didn't let him inside her home he might've harmed others so it's kinda both of their fault
This is so sad , and just goes to prove how the system yet again failed children . Same with the mother . They’ve got reports of cigarette burns and bruises on the children and didn’t do a thing . God helped this child get thru that excruciating pain she went though . I’m glad she was able to get her justice especially for her little sister . My heart goes out to her and my condolences to her & her family . ❤️
Why did "god" not help her little sister then?
Stop with this "god" nonsense.
@@KrabbyPatty_ seems like you need god in your life 😐
@@alvarezzz530 maybe if there was any god that kid wouldn't have been raped and her sister killed but hey what do I know?
God DIDN'T help this child, obviously. You weird, sick freak - you say that to a child that had been raped and tortured and had to witness her sisters murder?
"God helped her" - NOBODY helped her or her sister!
That child and now woman is resilient. Some people are, some people aren't. Resilience has nothing to do with God. Her strength is her very own and not some made up magical BS man in the sky who "helped" her. If there is a God he didn't do SHITE.
@@KrabbyPatty_ I understand why you asked that,I ask myself everyday why didn't God save my siblings and I from sexual and physical abuse..But know what? He did. He intervened when our sperm donor went to prison...
@@ashleybowman7605 he didn't do anything or else it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
All the good and bad things that humans do are their very own doings and choices. There's no magical man protecting you (obviously, since you weren't protected) just like there's no magical man making people do evil things.
There are no higher powers at work here. Just people and the chemicals in their brains.
She's a real life superhero! Even though her sister's life was short her memory will always live on through her big sister. Strong girls and such a strong woman. God bless her and her family.
This is so empowering!! Thank you for giving the victims of these crimes a voice to share their victory of these cowards that try to harm them in the most heinous ways. God bless you girl, as a big sister myself who had to help care for my younger siblings, I’m so proud of you for fighting for them. May God keep you safe and let no harm come to you! ❤️
This woman is literally the meaning of strength. That prayer she said saved her life and allow her to get justice for her and her sister.
I can’t imagine the nightmare these little girls had to go through and the fact that she still fought for herself and her sister is really inspiring. She’s so strong and that criminal is a coward
I can’t imagine the pain the little had to go through and it breaks my heart. Any single parents out there, please do everything to protect your children until they can be independent. You have taken them to this world, please be responsible!!
Her speech at the end gave me goosebumps. She is epitome of self sacrifice and a fighter. Thank you for your service and all that you do 💙
This is right next to my home town and I've never heard this story,thank you for sharing it. Jay is known as a bad place to live so I'm not surprised.
How such a "mother" can get full custody?? Unbelievable
Courts are incredibly biased towards mothers.
I completely broke down when Sayeh said that Sara is now her guardian angel, watching down on her and protecting her sister.
Absolutely incredible, so moving 🤍
My cousins are in a similar situation where their parents got a divorce and my aunt, who is very mentally ill and an alcoholic won custody of them. She often leaves them alone for even days on end with boyfriends she has just started dating. This story is truly devastating, and it terrifies me that something like this might happen to them.
This is so heartwrenching, I can't hold back my tears, Sarah deserved to live.
I am infuriated by mothers like the one in this case who put alcohol and their drunken libidos before their own children. My own mother dealt with this with her drunk of a foster mother and my mom ended up raped and nearly killed by it at 18 months old. From then on she ended up being regularly sexually assaulted by her foster mother’s many one-night stands.
I’m not saying that single mothers shouldn’t be allowed to date but they shouldn’t let these people around their children. Pedophiles regularly target single mothers because they want access to the child(ren) and single mothers often let their guards down because they’re lonely and just grateful to find someone who they believe wants them even though they have children.
This happened with my mother in the sense that she married my father and willfully conceived me with him in hopes of having a daughter despite the fact that she knew my father was a convicted pedophile. As a result my life was just like hers in the sense that my father sexually abused me from infancy until I was about 13-14 years old. I believe that he sexually assaulted some of my friends but I don’t have any proof. I think my mother was willfully ignorant and was able to remain as such because I didn’t tell her what my dad was doing to me and no other children came forward with accusations so in her mind he was honoring her promise to never reoffend.
If you are a single mother and trying to date I plead with you to know your partners inside and out before you even entertain the thought of having them around your children. If you want to just have some fun one-night stands, fine, but don’t bring these people into your house and fall asleep where they can have access to your children. Have the encounters at your partners’ homes, hotel rooms, anywhere but at home if your kids are there. And if you find out your partner is a pedophile, even if they were only ever arrested and charged for it once, don’t believe them when they try to sell you some story about how it was a misunderstanding or how they’ve changed. My father was only ever convicted once but that just meant he was only ever caught once. Once a pedophile, always a pedophile. Some dick is not worth your child’s sanity or possibly even their life. And just because they’re sleeping with you doesn’t mean that they don’t want to hurt your children. To them, sleeping with you is a means to an end. If you value your partner over your children you are scum. You’re as vile as the perpetrator you exposed your kids to.
I'm so sorry that you went through this! Even if your mother was also a victim in the beginning she stopped being that when she knowingly got with a pedophile and trusted his untrue words.
Hope you're in a safe environment right now and working on healing! Sending many virtual hugs!
You're right about single mothers vetting their boyfriends better before introducing them to their children by the way!
I'm sorry that happened to you.
This story is crazy. I can't believe that despite going though that hell herself she birthed a child into this world for her pedophile husband to abuse. I'm so sorry
Heartbreaking to read your story💔 you have relayed a profound response and solid advice to single mothers..
Thank you. I just don’t want any children to end up like me. I’m a disaster, mental health-wise and at 40 I’m only now beginning to dig into my past with a trusted therapist and trying to climb out of this hole I’m in. If I can educate one mother to keep her partner away from her kids until she feels with the most certainty that she can that it’s safe then I’ve achieved some meaning out of my experience. That’s what I hope for.
