And Shanda cried during sentencing today. Not when Timothy’s two older siblings were giving their impact statement. No, she saved her fake tears for when her lawyer was begging the judge for mercy. She is evil.
Baggy clothes is her excuse for not knowing her son is 80 lbs under weight.......nevermind the condition of them house....looks like a dumpster.....she is evil and gross
Yea while still blaming Timothy. Saying “why would he do this”. It’s heartbreaking to know that many kids out there are going through similar experiences.
This child was loved by strangers during the trial as he was never loved by anyone in his own family. As sad as it sounds, he is now in a better place. He didn’t deserve all that suffering lasting his whole life. The true punishment for Shanda and Paul should be to receive in prison the same treatment they gave Timothy. For the rest of their natural life.
The fact she blames him for his death is disgusting, and beyond evil. “ Why did he have to do that to himself “ Unbelievable! I can’t listen to this anymore.
He is responsible for his death. He didn't feed him even after the mom told him to. You can hear it in the messages . Hours after she told him to she would ask Paul did you feed him he would respond not yet. Paul resented having to care for him. 90 percent of Timothys punishments were due to Paul telling and complaining on him. He got so mad that Timothy ate one of his poptarts he wanted to strangle him to death. Paul wanted to beat him down several times but the mom wouldn't permit it. And even by his own admission he slapped him around. The punishment for the poptart was 2 full days without food. Once Paul stepped on his diaper he left on bathroom floor and when Paul told the mom she ordered an ice bath. Paul was just as sinister as the mom and his not feeding him when he was told is why he died of starvation. He wouldn't even give him water to drink. Paul S.A. Timothy when Paul was 9 yrs old so the dad should be charged for allowing him to live with Paul. Yea the mom is 100percent to blame but so is Paul. He gets sentenced the 29th and I pray the judge doesn't go so light on him that he gets out and hurts another helpless soul.
Paul deserves some prison time, that was his little brother, if he knew that you have to feed a pet then he knew what would happen if Timothy didn’t get food
@@kimberleeturner8475Paul already made a plea deal to not be charged with his murder. In return he would testify and tell the truth.. so it's not likely he will get what he deserves. I totally agree with you about Paul not feeding him and being annoyed by his special needs brother, who desperately needed help & care, Mom made him do it. I bet he resented that and took it out on him:( Plus guys his age are self centered and want to do what they want, not to be a care taker. Brain washed also by psycho mom.
@@kimberleeturner8475 This is exactly what I have been saying too when others on sites say the older son is innocent and was forced to abuse Timothy. That is total BS and he needs to pay too for murder, he has every chance to call authorities because he worked a job and actually left the house unmonitored. I hope he gets LIFE TOO!! Thank you for your good thinking and posting.
Paul is clearly undiagnosed autistic too!! They asked "Who sits like this as a 20 year old????"? A child does because Paul is not chronology 20 yrs old!!! Where the hell is any PROFESSIONAL SPECIALIST IN AUTISM in this whole thing?????!!!!!
I think Timothy's FATHER, who knew Shanda was not a good Mother but still proceded to send his Son back to his Mum, should be prosecuted. He is guilty too. What I don't understand is that NOONE attempted to see how Timothy was and rescue him. Poor Timothy.
If she’s left in general population, she will feel a lil taste of what she did to her own flesh & blood! She thought dropping I work for a judge would help her; Manipulation at its finest. She is a Devil!
I was with my parents in 1995 when the Police/Detectives told my parents my 23yr old brother had been killed by a train whilst walking home after a night out. My Dad ran. He was in such shock he just took off. My Mum .. she punched a Detective then collapsed on the floor. She made this gutterall noise/scream that I will never forget. Shanda and her fake crying makes me sick 😡😡😡.
She's not a mother ,she's an evil horrible witch and I hope she doesn't get any visitation with her young Son ,he deserves to be able to go on with his life and put her as a distant memory ,that's the best thing for him .I hope she isn't allowed to see him ever again .I hope what his mother did doesn't hurt him in any way and that he'll be alright .
As a mother who has actually had to perform CPR twice on their child, her fake cries sicken me. My son survived, and yet I still wake up screaming just dreaming and reliving it. I'm sure my entire neighborhood heard me wailing for my son.
I had to give my brother mouth to mouth... That was 10yrs ago, and I also still have extremely vivid nightmares and ptsd... I cannot imagine having to do that to my child! I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but glad your baby is OK!
I had to save my child almost every day. I didn't cry or scream. She's perfect now. I found my Husband d××d, watched them work on him for 45 minutes, didn't scream. I screamed weeks/days later, many times. I laid on his body for hours, until the coroner came. I took pics from the angle I'd never see my Husband from again. I was not crying. I was in shock. People are different. Your comment suggests I didn't love my baby, or the man I've been faithful to, even for eight years since his death. I got his name on my thigh, pretty big, three years after he died. Not everyone loses their mind in an emergency.
Am I the only one who thinks Paul isn't as squeaky clean and innocent as he's making out?? I've seen a lot of comments *in his defence* yet he still sat and watched his brother slowly and painfully wither away....he actually sent a text to that excuse of a mother saying "I want to beat him to within an inch of his life right now" and that was all his feelings....I think people are forgetting that.... She's wailing and fake crying to the officer when she's sitting outside, then when answering questions, she's straight normal.... "Ohhhh God - boo hooo" "Whose in the house, Ma'am" (completely normal tone) "My 2 Sons....booo hoooo" back to the false cry again. Stevie Wonder could even see it's all bull 💩
It's like the Stanford prison experiment. She made one son a prisoner & the other his prison guard & herself warden. The students who participated in the experiment were around Paul's age when he moved in with her. Bear in mind the experiment had to be stopped within a few days due to everyone getting lost in their roles.
She can't remember what she gave him to eat last night because she didn't give him anything. This cop knows she's lying but he's going along with her and saying things to reassure her so that she keeps up the act and keeps talking. It was nice to see her sentenced today and for the judge to tell her that Timothy won.
@@agapelovepietas I didn't say that she didn't deserve worse than prison time. I said it was nice to hear the judge tell her what he thought at her sentencing. I don't know why you have to point out the obvious and put it out there that your moral high ground is something too high for me fathom.
She’s not really crying ,as theirs no tears ,and no Runny nose . She’s squeezing between her eyes to try to force tears . This is making me really angry . What an evil woman .
@@fionasteele3642 and, notice how quickly she stops ' crying ' to answer a question..!! - a genuine grieving parent would be inconsolable, unable to catch their breath to speak through heart wrenching howls of pain - they would need sedating at the very least before they could be interviewed.this horrible witch can't even get one tear out. Vile excuse for a human being.
She can’t even muster up one legit tear for what she did to her poor son. This case blows my mind. Just when I think I’ve heard the worse one, here comes another. May you forever rest in peace, Timothy. This just breaks my heart . She definitely wasn’t missing any meals. And the fact she took the stand in her own defense, was mind boggling. She is an absolute monster and I wish they would put her under the jail .
Taking the stand in her defence worked wonderfully for the prosecution. Shame they can’t put her under the prison, Timothy should never have been with her in the first place. I’m hoping charges can be bought against the dad too. Family should be the ones that love you the most, poor sweet boy.
Timothy real dad should have charges for putting Timothy with her. God rest his 15 yrs old young man soul. RIP . He didn't deserve to be abused.or food kept from him. She's horrible. Fake cry.
@@roxanahendricks7574. I couldn't agree more. Especially as she has outstanding charges for abusing Timothy in another county, that's how the father had custody
I lost my 14 daughter to suicide. I remember it all in a dream state. Finding her and I just remember screaming and screaming and my brain was fighting reality. I remember laying across the backseat of my brother-in-law’s car as we chased the ambulance to the hospital while they were working their asses off trying to get a pulse. I remember seeing a face I knew greet me at the hospital bc she had children in school with mine and I remember collapsing into her. This woman never shed a tear. There are no maternal gutter sounds of pain and that is something I can feel to this day in my bones. You’ve absolutely nailed what she’s doing in trying to control the narrative. There is no concern at all with her child who has been taken away in an ambulance bc she must make sure her co-conspirator, another child she’s abused, doesn’t screw up the story. The crazy thing is she works in the court. She knows the power of forensic evidence. She has to know that they already know he was dead hours before the time she claims. This is bizarre. I can’t imagine being so detached from a life I grew inside my own body.
I'm so sorry to her about your daughter ❤️🩹 God Bless you 🙏 I Pray God will ease your pain 🙏 I Jesus Holy Loving Name 🛐 Amen ❤️🩹🛐🙏 Please help me Pray for Paul Ferguson. He was 18, he knows he did wrong. I just see him as another victim of his monster Mother. God Bless you 🙏
43:33 I completely agree!! He is no victim!! Paul is a bully. When his stepmom and half sister heard about Timothy passing, prior to knowing HOW he died, his sister said “I bet Paul had something to do with it. He’s the biggest bully I’ve ever met!” Stop making excuses for Paul. He’s not autistic He’s not challenged academically He does not have Asperger’s syndrome He is just a weird guy who bullies people younger and smaller than he is. He said in his evaluation that having power over people feels good.
When I saw her sipping her water in the court and looking at the bottled water strange as if it had a funny taste, Imagine them giving Timothy hot sauce with bread as punishment but yet she had access to unlimited bottled water during her entire court appearance.
@elainemarock5840 - I know. She will be treated better in prison than her poor child was. She will have food, water, bed, pillow, blankets. It’s unreal.
I watched a video about this last night & was crestfallen to hear that this will most likely NOT be the reception she'll receive. One guest worked at that female prison and said, historically, in that exact prison, someone like her would be pandered to by the prison population &appointed the valuable in-house prisoners' legal advisor, so she'll be protected, consulted & paid in favors, gifts, premium treatment and that, weirdly, apparently women who took their offsprings' lives are nurtured & coddled/comforted in the clink.
Being an attorney who scored a 180 on the LSAT yet not knowing that medical staff can tell if a child has been starved, beaten and neglected is INSANE!!
@@carolapostolos8929 exactly, she’s always the victim and is so self-important! She thought she could outsmart everyone. So clear she’s a covert narcissist, even down to when she was correcting that officer’s pronunciation of her name while she searching her. I’d think someone getting my name right would be the last thing I’d be worried about if my son just died…
"How can he hide that from me?" He cant...theres no way your son lost all that weight and you DIDNT notice and no matter how you fake cry and tell your crazy lies, no one will believe you didnt notice and didnt purposely cause it.
The curator of her own evil, what's even more pathetic is it believes it's own lies and not only that gets annoyed when unable to convince others. At the same time, stories surface of her begging for money for extra food in prison. Whilst Timothy was alive, she kept a full fridge of food locked up. So this delusional delivery of her own demonic rhetoric is a good indicator that since her husband's stroke the intent to bring about his demise was there already. She had no moral compass when it came to Timothy. Heartbreaking for the child, who craved only love and care. Both were withheld by this monster.
I just watched the sentencing of Shanda Vander Ark, God Bless Hon. Matthew Kacel!! He spoke as a human being and a parent first, then he honored Timothy in the only way that he knew how, by showing his beautiful picture before she killed him. This case definitely left imprints on all our hearts. Justice was served!
Rest In Peace, Timothy. The world will take care of your mom the same way she "took care" of you, baby boy. You never deserved anything less than the best and somehow you ended up with worse than the worst. It's not fair, but I promise you that everyone is fighting for justice for you AND your "mom". You're loved and cared about, my friend. Idk if heaven is real, but if it is, you are there, and you're safe there. She can never hurt you again. ❤
@@iamahorsenut7541 lots of people have. She was a Nazi with this innocent boy. She has ZERO excuse. Starving someone takes some time. That's a long horrible death. I can't believe this whole case. Peace ✌️🕊️
Paul could have called the police or told his sister & brother the moment the torture started. He is just as guilty as shanda. Pls dont call her a "mother" as she doesnt deserve that title.
I would prefer seeing Paul get mental health treatment over prison. He's also a victim, in my opinion. He's been abused & brainwashed by his mother & looks like he's been starved as well. She is horrific & I pray that she never sees anything beyond her prison cell for the rest of her life.
I disagree He was very resentful of his brother... He hated him & wanted to punish him. He locked him in closets and literally tortured and starved him to death. He was the one there & in charge of all the direct actions to Timothy. I'm sorry Paul was also abused but that will never be an excuse to me. Him being brainwashed by his mom isn't an excuse for his own hate & resentment for his sweet baby brother. The mother is pure evil & in turn so is Paul. He needs to be punished too... You can't just get away with torture & murder just because your mommy was abusive to you too.
She ruined the lives of all three of those boys. She made Paul her surrogate husband and partner in crime. The only time she gave him affection was when he was obeying her every sadistic command. He kept saying ‘we’ in his interview as if they were a parenting unit. So sickening. I really want to know what all happened in OK. If Timothy’s dad knew what an evil witch she was, why did he let her take Timothy??
Yeah it’s a blatant lie because he hadn’t had his meds filled since he moved in with them 🤯 and Paul even said that when he first moved in with them (when he was taking his meds) he was “chunky”…! 🤯
I totally agree, she should receive the same punishment she gave to her son, Timothy, you are in the arms of Jesus, whole and healthy. Denied life here by your own mother, you are alive in Christ. God bless you.
This woman is infuriating. Every time she says she needs water or a snack for her hypoglycemia I can’t help but think “yeah so did your son and you gave him nothing” so she should get nothing too. Her fake vomiting and crying is so transparent and all those apologies are going to the wrong person. I am also surprised she didn’t request an ambulance for her incarceritis.
There’s no mistaking that Shanda was Paul’s entire life. After watching his police interrogation I was blown away because Paul kept telling the detective his mother loved them so much and i was literally watching Paul begin to realize his world was not what he thought it was. He now clearly understands the level of inhumanity of it all and he needs intensive psychological rehabilitation and counseling to be OK. Paul may have been able to go to work and school but it’s obvious he had no other life. He wasn’t doing what normal kids his age do because he was essentially her slave in my opinion. He even says in text: Mom, Timothy is trying to get me in trouble. He knew he didn’t want to be in his brother’s shoes. He’s not adequately socialized.
No one of this family isn't correctly associated with the other members of the family, especially concerning the relationship between Paul and Thimothy, since he has been absent all this time, except for the Several months prior his murder. That's pure evil that this psychopath shows, she is definitely alienating family members, in order to keep full control - the Narcissists first tactic of manipulation. Paul is a victim like Thimothy was.He wasn't just so important for her to get rid off and on the other hand - she saw his value as a tool , an instrument she might use over the other household.I believe she was a obstacle, but not such a great one as Thimothy! Paul couldn't feel more protected , except from the moments when he could be hadfull and useful to her.Thats why he participated , but he was disturbed throughout the process of torture over Thimothy. She was convincible, that nothing however depends on him, since she is control, but yet he started to receive a flashlight that this is not right and the form it takes is leading to something that is not right!
I envy her for the stable nervous system she demonstrates - cold-blooded bitch! She has preferences at being treated in a certain way , with respect at all times.. she doesn't lose her cool! You think you can put this "thing" through suffering? I assure you that she is capable to endure a lot and still keep her head clean.
Thank you! You are so correct! This poor child! That is basically what he is... His mother, no... that woman has stunted his growth. I have to find his whole interrogation. This breaks my heart even further. She is so vile.
For him to starve to death he was starving for months. She saw this in February. And his face would absolutely look emaciated so she knew. She didn’t care.
It’s crazy how she can state and whine about her “health” issues, hypo/hyperglycemia whatever it is she said, and carrying on about being light headed and dizzy, but they’re treating her with much dignity comparatively to how she treated her own flesh and blood. He was tortured 24/7 and she’s uncomfortable for what, less than an hour?
When I watched the interrogation footage of Paul and he asked the detective for a snack I was so hopeful they would bring him bread with hot sauce on it 🙌
Anyone who calls her an animal, please rephrase, as she's a monster. Animals have compassion for each other for goodness sake, something this monster doesn't have
I hate how she keeps apologizing to the officers like she's sweet and passive. We all know this is not the case. She's trying to come across as gentle and someone that's not capable of doing the awful things she's done to this poor child.
How the officers were so polite is beyond me. I saw the verdict and Judge Kacel brought me to tears. Thank you Law Enforcement Officers and "honest" judges who hold these demons accountable. My heart breaks for that precios child.
The best part of this entire horrific case is the Timmy is in heaven with God and he does not remember all the horrific things that were done to him. I am imagining him.running through a beautiful field of brilliant colored flowers and green grass that looks loke emeralds. I honestly do not understand why God allows such horrific torture, especially to innocent children, but I do trust that He will more rhan make it up to those who were tortured.
@@dewick134 do you know what Jesus Christ says about people like this? He literally says >>> *"and if any of you should hurt one of these little ones, it would be better for you to tie a millstone around your neck and jump in the deep water”* It used to be hard for me to understand as well but God is not to blame here or in any other situation. God gave this lady free will and look what she did with hers she chose bad she chose wrong she chose evil. She didn’t have to but did. If heaven exists and God exists and I believe these things to be true- THEN that means Satan exists as well… and we know for sure that God did not influence this lady or female rather, (bc a lady would never act this way) God did not influence her in anyway to do these things that she’s done. Satan and his demons do and did and will again. People are calling her a demon she’s not one… but she’s clearly plagued by demons, maybe even thousands. We look at her and anyone like her with such disgust and hatred because of her cruelty her coldheartedness & evilness but what are we judging this by moral law man’s law? If you are not saved by the blood of Jesus Christ that is how God sees every single one of us. you’re like stained and dirty and only Jesus Christ can wash you clean and change your heart and make you like New and so you must be born again. But if you would like to spend eternity with her and or people like her or worse do nothing and your place in hell will be secured. God wants us to choose life. and you cannot wait until you die out of this bag of bones and flesh to make your decision- don’t let the demons plaguing you make you ignore this message. They can’t stand the truth and will have you running away from it. For the last 40+ years doctors and scientists have been getting together and have now come to the conclusion that death does not mean what they originally thought it to be. by definition they had to change what it says when you look up the meaning. And what they have found was it does not mean that you cease to exist altogether when you die. Christians know this already one things for certain we’re all going to live forever but you have to choose now while you’re in this life of where your forever will be. And if you hate evil like this then I think you should choose God/Jesus Christ the kingdom of God and heaven. .. not a nasty place with people like this person and much worse. God wants you to accept Jesus Christ into your life make him your new number one best friend. So put your trust in the lord & love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul & confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the son of God he was crucified & died on the cross for your sins and raised again on the third day. Accept the lord as your savior. And you will be saved. Your place In Heaven-will be secured and you’ll be able to live with him in his kingdom. For all eternity ✝️👑✝️
@missmisty5181 I am in agreement with you. I am a born again Christian and I believe the Bible is true. I personally believe humans can have demons living in themselves. That is clear in the Bible. Jesus cast them out of people, so we know they are real and they can live in humans. For anyone to do what she did, she definitely has demons living in her. She may even have a legion of them.
@@cynthialandis4263I'm so glad. My eldest daughter is autistic, and happily married, she's also doing wonderfully. This case is the worse I've ever heard of. It's unfathomable how this level of evil exists.
@cynthialandis4263 Until they're not! This IS what autistic people are capable of and generally have comorbid conditions that accompanie autism like Alexi! Mind Blindness and them lacking "Theroy of Mind" is very real in these "humans".
It’s unfortunate that all three of your sons are affected. I don’t know what it is, I thought of it is due to over diagnosing any developmental delay as autism. But the rest of it… Somethings going on. There’s something going on in the environment that’s messing with our DNA and causing all these autistic people. Definitely not a good time to be breeding. I hope you have all the support you can get
My son has Asperger’s Syndrome…you learn how to deal and cope with these children when they have their moments. It’s called being a mom…being a parent and having strength to stand by your child through everything.
@@m42037 while I do understand what you are saying and I understand for some parents those extreme behaviors can be too much… these two didn’t seem to be afraid of Timothy. And the reasons they say he was punished seem very insignificant. “Stealing food” “leaving his room” “lying”. Sounds like normal behavior for a child and teen.
The son would have been abused even if he was neurotypical. She was probably using his autism as an excuse or a way to get sympathy. And using his ADHD to take his drugs.
@@leigha000 Oh ya I completely agree!! After year's of my ADULT son on and off would disobey and never clean his messes, never would wash a cup or dish, he would talk to himself in his room and laughing I mean to the point where it was like you'd think there's two people in his room. He told my late wife there was a girl on his window sill that would come and talk to him. He'd shower about once a month, longest I remember back in our old house he went two months without taking a shower. I lived in the basement he lived in one of the upstairs rooms. He smashed his room up bad. Whenever he'd get mad he'd punch holes in the walls, old food on the floor like pizza crust, bread pieces, cig butts you name it. Coffee cups with mold in it from rotten old coffee with a bunch of cig butts in them and spit, etc. It got way out of hand. Whenever he would go crazy we'd call the police and they'd take him to the hospital on the psych floor, but they'd only keep him seven days tops then send him back home. After a couple weeks it would start back up again. I tell him to do something he'd tell me later, or no, I'd say "Kenny I want that cleaned up etc, he'd say " don't Fk with me dad" then a shouting match would happen, then he'd go in his room and start breaking things. It took years before I could finally get him in a place that handles these kids, or adults. They take all their SSI checks and only give them about 40 dollars a month spending money for cigarettes etc. He's now 30, he's been in there since 2016. There's much more to the story. I feel bad real bad I can't do nothing for him because I'm poor, he's in Detroit, not a good area. But he seems to like it there. I don't talk to him much but when we talk on the phone he never says he hates it there. I want to bring him here to a good neighborhood but that would cost probably two grand a month I can't afford it. The state of Michigan don't care about them they just put you in old places in the ghetto more less, and nothing you can do about it. My dad and my aunt won't even give me a dime to buy him something, my aunt says she wants to buy him some stuff but that's just talk. Lol my dad won't even help me lol. So ya that what she did was pure evil and she had a job that made great money. If she couldn't handle him like me she could've put him in a group home simple, they know how to deal with them! She should get more than life, I can't say or RUclips will delete my comment
I have a son with epilepsy and a son with severe autism. I could never imagine hurting them. My son with autism is the happiest sweetest person I know. My son with epilepsy gets combative and angry before during and after seizures and we deal with that too. It's not a choice he makes. It's a symptom of his condition. This lady could absolutely help what she did.
This case is a little worse than the Ruby Franke case. But Ruby and Jodi used some of the same punishments that Timothy received, no food, punishment as wall sits, hand cuffs, hog tied, no water, and no empathy for her own children. What is wrong with these mothers?
I dare say their torment would have amped upwards if not caught at this stage. I don't understand these parents who inflict horror upon their children.
Unfortunately is an endless circle of violence. Apparently she was abused herself by her father and that kind on behavior got “normalized” through her life. Is not an excuse, but as a community, is our responsibility to open our eyes on this kind of behaviors around us, and act upon it.
The officer who told her she was being charged did an amazing job... he was kind when absolutely NO kindess or compassion were not required to be given... well done. I have no clue how he held it together.
@pchic7860 Absolutely, Sgt Bill from Policeoffthecuff always says the same thing. I believe Sgt Bill is very good at reading body language. Children are precious gifts from God, this is pure evil. How can parents be so evil, Duty Ron this is really shocking, a real acting performance. Actually saying oh my God!!! God is watching all the time, he will never be mocked. Absolutely 💯 no longer sobbing,controlling the situation with Paul, not wanting the truth to be revealed. Demonic 💯 evil. I was legal guardian for my brother who suffered with Angelmans Syndrome, one of the highest blessings of my entire life. This breaks my heart, as i knew my brother William understood everything, even if he could not speak verbally. May Timothy be safe in the Lords house in heaven, where God's love never ends. Amen 🙏 🙏🙏
@@BuffyLynn Did you? I’ll try again bc I didn’t and it made me kinda sick. But w her faking dizziness etc like she needed smelling salts ibwas already annoyed.
The last full day timothy was alive, july 5th 2022, he was punished with an 8 hour ice bath, shower curtain removed so he couldnt use it to "cover up" for warmth of any kind, this punishment was for "faking" being nonresponsive... he was dying... shanda asked paul if it would be "crazy" to put hot sauce on timothys penis, and if hes willing to do it... One of the sickest things i feel likely happened is that they tortured his dead body with further "punishments" for being nonresponsive... punishments for being dead.. Furthermore, hot sauce was in fact found in the bathroom timothy was regularly forced to take ice baths in. That poor sweet innocent child had hypothermia so bad his internal organs were in a state of hypothermia. Timothy you sweet angel. I am so so sorry. You deserved patience and love and support and happiness. You will FOREVER live on in my heart. Rest in peace you beautiful soul.
This woman is a monster. She is so concerned over every imagined physical or mental issue she claimed to have but was completely unconcerned about her child's horrific physical condition. SHE IS A LIAR! SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
I watched this full interview the other day and I loved it when the detective says "how many good people do you know that starves their kid to death" after Paul is saying his mom is a good person.
She couldn’t even get fake tears to flow. This just shows how much she really “ loved” this poor child. She knew exactly what she was doing to him! There’s a place in hell with her name! Evil,evil monster!!
My son passed away and I have never been the same since. Me or his did everything to save my son's life. And it haunts me every day. This woman is sick pathetically sick in the head. She got everything she deserved in court
She was competent enough to work as a court clerk and scored super high on the LSAT...yet claims she has memory and sensory problems! She is sadistic, masochistic and evil. I do mean evil. I live about 90 min from that house. It's a good neighborhood and she hid in plain site. Paul definaty played a part, however, it is immed obvious that something is "off" with him. I was a social work tech with at risk kids. Paul doesn't present as a 20 yr old. His behavior can't be let go but prison doesn't seem his best option. If i could sentence them, she would never have a comfortable day in her life. Paul would be court committed to a mental/occupational facility. I believe he's young enough to be saved. Survival guilt is real. Paul also has to come to terms with what he did to Tim at that womans commands, cameras, locks etc. God help the little guy. Is he 8? When he finds out what his family is about, he will need endless support. By far, one of the most infuriating, heartbreaking cases ever. 💔
Yes I agree. Paul needs mental health services Court ordered.. n occupational therapy. He is deathly afraid of his mom. N did wat she asked.. but poor Paul feels bad about it.. mom is more culpable. Bc she directed all of the abuse. Now she has no one to abuse.. hope prison justice happens.. bread n hot sauce for a long time
This woman is pure evil and everything about this case shakes me to my core. When she was being arrested she said she was hypoglycemic… She sure didn’t worry about Tim’s medical needs… which I’m sure were way beyond being Hypoglycemic after she was done with him! What a sick, twisted evil monster! Can’t even refer to her as a human being! I’m so very saddened and my heart breaks for Tim. I have to believe he’s safely in the arms of Jesus now! 😢I just literally have no words to express what I’m feeling quite honestly. 😥😪🤕
And then she says on the stand that after her arrest she didn’t eat for a month. Who the f cares?! Pity party, pathetic, narcissistic woman and mother.
The father is guilty as well. For what I learned on Paul's sentencing, the judge mentioned that the father and stepmom didn't want him in the house because he was abusive towards Timothy and the other brother and Shanda didn't have custody because she was abusive as well and he wentcand dumped the poor boy to those two demons. He should go to jail too.
She's stepping into her own crap. By her CONTINUOUSLY saying "I should have made him eat. How did I not see this. How could he hide this from me" only brings to attention how bad she knows he looked. And what teenager goes on a hunger strike? When my son was a teenager he and his friends nearly ate us out of house and home!! The more she talks the deeper the hole she digs for herself. She's a horrible human being.
How could a mother do this to her own child that kid must have been in agony for months even years he's in a better place now fly high lil man Rest In Peace
I honestly believe the 20 year old, Paul, was so abused, neglected, and controlled by that evil horrible mother. He was home-schooled and barely had any outside input from anyone other then that horrible woman. She put way too much responsibility opon him. He should not receive a long sentence for the incredibly awful, horrific, torturous death of his brother. Once he was out of her control he was incredibly remorseful for his part in the treatment of Timothy and he did the only appropriate thing by aiding in the prosecution of his “mother”. He needs therapy and a second chance. As far as the dog, the dog was probably the only real love shown to that poor child as he was dying
He wasnt raised by her. He didnt move with her until he was almost 18. He knew better, even if he was on the spectrum, he even admits to tht. He cared more about getting her approval than he did torturing his own brother. He is not 100% innocent in any way. Just bc someone is on the spectrum, doesnt mean they cant think for themselves, dont know whats right and wrong. Paul knew what he was doing but didnt care, bc he was the "golden child" in his moms eyes and thts all he yearned for.
Sensory processing is a symptom of autism. I have a few close family members with autism. He shows quite a few symptoms of being under the spectrum. Therapeutic incarceration. He obviously was manipulated, abused, controlled and not fed appropriately. Paul is a victim too and way too thin.
Yes, I work with clients with Developmental Disabilities and he definitely is on the spectrum. But don't get me wrong, that don't mean he is special needs because most are very smart & can articulate certain things very well. He seems to have some Stockholm behavior to me as well 🥺!!
@mama_tichi Paul wasnt raised by her. He didnt live with her until he was almost 18yrs old. He knew what he was doing was horribly wrong. He cared more about getting her approval than he did torturing his own brother. He knew it was wrong and did it any way. He isnt innocent at all. He wants to back up now tht hes caught
He is not a kid.. he has been abused , but most of criminals have gone through a lot of evil coming from their own families too…. He’s not challenged, even being afraid of his mother is not a reason to help her killing his disabled innocent brother …..
Whilst i agree Paul isn’t a kid, unless you’ve been coerced by a someone it’s unreasonable for you to say that. once they have their claws into you it’s almost impossible to get away, they threaten you, they can beat you, they withdraw food and other privileges eg; phone, pc, TV coercion is like an addiction, you cannot control it out of fear, I absolutely know paul is guilty, but i feel that he was following orders because the mom may of threatened him with the same punishment. I was coerced by my Ex-Boyfriend over 27 years ago and i still get nervous and anxious when i hear things like this! it’s absolutely crippling fear.
I agree! And if it wasn’t for his mom, he never would’ve done those things. He’s absolutely traumatized, by not only everything concerning his brother, but his own abuse by the hands of his mom and dad.
@@pupikatz8442 He May legally be an adult……. But I know myself at age 20, I was still a kid. Paul is under coercive control. Our laws here in the USA are horrible around it. In the UK, they have proper laws and better psychological understanding around it. Paul is still guilty. It doesn’t absolve him from punishment……. But given being in his own, he probably never would have done any of it. He’s not the psychopath his mother is.
Why doesn't anyone acknowledge how often abused kids reach out for help and don't get it? We cry out for help and the police come and tell our parents and then we are savagely punished. Why do people EVER expect abused people to trust police or DCYF?! Every. Time. You. Call. Them, YOU are abandoned by them and brutally punished by the abuser. The same goes for when you're in an abusive marriage. "Well, just leave," they say, and then they do, and you get beaten again. If they want people to call the cops, the cops need to help and not just put the child into an even worse situation with even more controlling violence levied against them.
No Shanda. The reason the cop knows you won’t do anything to him is because you target the vulnerable. You go after someone that is defenseless and completely reliant on your mercy. This cop can defend himself and you are reliant on his mercy. So of course you won’t do anything
Everyone talks crap about addicts and alcoholics but its truly not the worst thing you can be. So many of these phsycopaths are "upstanding citizens" on the outside.
Listen to her voice in between sobs. It goes back to normal. She’s lying, she’s lying, she’s lying. Just plain evil. She’s not a mother she’s a monster!
Paul was clearly fearful of his mother and will need intensive therapy and even then, he may never recover from the trauma and guilt. I feel so sorry for him😢
Yes he did, she probably told him you’re not getting that from me. I’m sure he’s getting the love and attention that he deserves in heaven where he’s safe.
I just finished listening to one of Shanda’s prison phone calls complaining about the food they serve asking her friend if she could put money in her account so she could order things she liked to eat, I was so happy when her friend said no she didn’t have it to give !! Her son wasn’t able to eat anything except for bread covered in hot sauce so why shouldn’t she have to suffer !!
She clearly has no understanding of other people, no empathy, no remorse. I hope that the cooks in prison are putting all sorts of filthy in her food and she never ever gets to enjoy another morsel of anything EVER. That poor kid. Her texts tell the story of a woman who enjoyed causing pain and suffering.
I hate it when they say she vomited upon seeing pictures of Timothy.. she didnt vomit! She acted out a reaction she thought would suffice! She has a black soul!
She makes my skin crawl. I was a case like this, although I survived. I was near death when I was rescued in 1978. The cop was able to dip a finger into my pelvis and the back of his finger wasn't even touching the skin of my sunken belly (I was 7). This woman looks SO much like the foster monster who harmed me. Paul looks like a skeleton, too. He was definitely being abused, and part of the abuse of HIM was to force him to hurt his brother; I can almost guaranty it. In the 'home' I was in where this happened to us, the more 'liked' kids were punished for any compassion by making them punish us. Sometimes they would be forced to personally take the lives of their pets if they wouldn't hurt us. Looking back as an adult, I think that's *why* they were given pets to begin with. Just because someone isn't DIAGNOSED autistic, doesn't mean they AREN'T autistic. Paul obviously has some kind of delay, even if it's only the one that she forced onto him. I don't mean this rudely (but also not nicely, frankly), but do you guys truly NOT understand how abused children are taught to be TERRIFIED of police, DCYF, etc.? We don't ask for help because the times that we do ask for help, WE are the ones who suffer. The cops/ DCYF don't listen to us, don't believe us... and then we are brutalized savagely. You want people like us to reach out to you for help? THEN HELP US WHEN WE DO. Prove the monsters wrong and actually HELP. When my brother escaped from the foster monsters, do you know who dragged him back for a night of having his skin flayed off [literally, not figuratively] by a 'switch'? The cops! Can you please stop talking about Paul like he has reason to trust DCYF or 911? Can you please acknowledge the fact that DCYF had already been involved and she STILL ended up with poor Timothy in her care?? Did they check on him at his father's house? Did they know where he was? Did they CARE WHERE HE WAS? All of you people pointing fingers at Paul, and I kind of get that... but you have no idea how often kids ask for help and don't get it. Over, and over, and over... Now you want to know why he didn't keep trying? Maybe you think about that for a while, eh?
Exactly... some of the comments these cops make reinforce the stereotype that they're just looking for an excuse to harm someone ("please resist"????).... WTF 😬🫣🚔
Good point. Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome. I remember getting sucked in by a malignantly narcissistic boss. Looking back, I realized I joined her cult of personality because I was afraid of her, so I shamefully did her bidding. Like placating a bad man. The outcome for me has taken years to overcome somewhat. But I still have bad dreams and PTSD from it.
My heart goes put to you. I, also came from abuse. I was 4 when my mother threw me out of our car like a bag of garbage. From beatings to rape, I went through it all, but I survived but I couldn't tell anyone because my punishment was always worse.
Paul was already an adult when he started living with his mother and Timothy. He was already 18. So she didn't force him to do those things to his brother he was a willing participant. He could have said no that's not right, to her, but he didn't. He could have helped but he didn't.
Paul was abused in different ways . Being made to torture your own brother must have been horrendous for him . Extensive therapy with a very long supervision of his progress
@@shellbell313really? I bet he has either been SAd himself by his mom or someone and then did the same. He seems to have a disability as well. So maybe he slightly didn’t know it was SA? His mom has him pouring hot sauce on the other brothers private so his understanding of boundaries and such is not accurate
I think she should be charged with abuse against Paul as well. He is obviously mentally challenged and was totally controlled and manipulated by her through fear.
Paul got exactly what was coming to him. He is a sadistic monster just like his mother. He could have gotten help at any time. I will give him a little credit for trying to get his mother to lighten up, but not sure of his motivation. The Prosecutor suggested that they did not want Timothy to died so they could continue to torture him.
Thank you for covering child abuse cases. No child deserves abuse, certainly not an abusive parent. Children need stronger protection by the legal system. The entire system fails these children.
Yes indeed, we are thankful. Because this case hits home for me because I supervise adults and children with Developmental Disabilities and this thang makes me sick 😡. Thinking about my babies aka my clients I would litterly spazz out on this evil egg donor and nobody could stop me. That's why I'm strict with who I hire because working in this field I promise you will see wolves in sheep clothing so you have to be their voice 😪. Smh, this is painful and angers me to the core 😡!!
Even the Great Dane knew and cared that this boy was suffering and dying. The dog offered more love and compassion than Timothy had known in months, if not years. At least he was shown love by this dog. 😭💔🐾🐕🦺♥️😥😞
Paul should get some prison time, not in general pop. He also needs intense long term, residential therapy, and stepped down slowly, only when he is ready to be integrated into society. The “mother” if you can call her that, should do life with no parole, no special protection.
After seeing the dog video, I changed my mind. Paul can be as manipulative as his mom. I still think he was abused as well, but is much more culpable than betrayed in most media.
Paul is the one who initially starved him to death. He had to clean Timothys poop so he didn't feed him because of that. In his interagation he said he tried to give him enough calories. The mom put the responsibility of caring for a special needs child on her other speciaal needs child. Paul resented it. He was addicted to his electronics. His you tube channel to have to stop and look after Timothy. Thats why he , Paul, kept him locked in that closet. The Mom only cared about herself and Gabriel. She had no emotional attachment to Paul or Timothy due to their disabilities. She used Paul. Paul wanted to please his mom.PAUL IS EQUALLY QUILTY as Mom. It was by his hand his brother died.
I feel Paul was abused also and was watched constantly and nagged to do his mothers bidding You can hear in his responses on the stand how brainwashed he was, I truly hope he gets the help He needs to deal with this. That woman is pure evil.
Yep I agree. You can also see how he struggles with empathy. It's not surprising though looking at the adults responsible for raising him and their behaviours.

Mel thank you kindly my friend 🧡
Her fake cries piss me off. She spent that entire time trying to cover up the starvation. This woman is pure evil.
And Shanda cried during sentencing today. Not when Timothy’s two older siblings were giving their impact statement. No, she saved her fake tears for when her lawyer was begging the judge for mercy. She is evil.
If satan is female, we now know what she looks like.
Baggy clothes is her excuse for not knowing her son is 80 lbs under weight.......nevermind the condition of them house....looks like a dumpster.....she is evil and gross
Totally, that's the first thing I thought right off the bat. If she's upset at all, it's that she's been found out.
Yea while still blaming Timothy. Saying “why would he do this”. It’s heartbreaking to know that many kids out there are going through similar experiences.
More people have shed real tears for this child than this woman can even fake to do.
AMEN I was looking hard too..NOTHING
Indeed
Yes 😢😢😢
Ain't that the truth 💯
This child was loved by strangers during the trial as he was never loved by anyone in his own family. As sad as it sounds, he is now in a better place. He didn’t deserve all that suffering lasting his whole life. The true punishment for Shanda and Paul should be to receive in prison the same treatment they gave Timothy. For the rest of their natural life.
The fact she blames him for his death is disgusting, and beyond evil. “ Why did he have to do that to himself “ Unbelievable!
I can’t listen to this anymore.
He is responsible for his death. He didn't feed him even after the mom told him to. You can hear it in the messages . Hours after she told him to she would ask Paul did you feed him he would respond not yet. Paul resented having to care for him. 90 percent of Timothys punishments were due to Paul telling and complaining on him. He got so mad that Timothy ate one of his poptarts he wanted to strangle him to death. Paul wanted to beat him down several times but the mom wouldn't permit it. And even by his own admission he slapped him around. The punishment for the poptart was 2 full days without food.
Once Paul stepped on his diaper he left on bathroom floor and when Paul told the mom she ordered an ice bath.
Paul was just as sinister as the mom and his not feeding him when he was told is why he died of starvation. He wouldn't even give him water to drink.
Paul S.A. Timothy when Paul was 9 yrs old so the dad should be charged for allowing him to live with Paul.
Yea the mom is 100percent to blame but so is Paul. He gets sentenced the 29th and I pray the judge doesn't go so light on him that he gets out and hurts another helpless soul.
Paul deserves some prison time, that was his little brother, if he knew that you have to feed a pet then he knew what would happen if Timothy didn’t get food
@@kimberleeturner8475Paul already made a plea deal to not be charged with his murder. In return he would testify and tell the truth.. so it's not likely he will get what he deserves. I totally agree with you about Paul not feeding him and being annoyed by his special needs brother, who desperately needed help & care, Mom made him do it. I bet he resented that and took it out on him:( Plus guys his age are self centered and want to do what they want, not to be a care taker. Brain washed also by psycho mom.
@@kimberleeturner8475 This is exactly what I have been saying too when others on sites say the older son is innocent and was forced to abuse Timothy. That is total BS and he needs to pay too for murder, he has every chance to call authorities because he worked a job and actually left the house unmonitored. I hope he gets LIFE TOO!! Thank you for your good thinking and posting.
Paul is clearly undiagnosed autistic too!! They asked "Who sits like this as a 20 year old????"? A child does because Paul is not chronology 20 yrs old!!! Where the hell is any PROFESSIONAL SPECIALIST IN AUTISM in this whole thing?????!!!!!
The nerve of her to talk about her blood sugar crashing while her son died of starvation is mind blowing 🤯 she is a true sociopath
So dam True
I think Timothy's FATHER, who knew Shanda was not a good Mother but still proceded to send his Son back to his Mum, should be prosecuted. He is guilty too. What I don't understand is that NOONE attempted to see how Timothy was and rescue him. Poor Timothy.
As someone who was physically, sexually, and mentally abused by a parent, this case makes me sick to my stomach. I hope the dad is charged, too.
❤
I’m so sorry you went through that🤗
I am so sorry to hear this MS Alma sending you strength!
AMen!
Thank you!
How dare she complain about it being cold in the room when she literally left Timothy in an ice bath for 9 HOURS.
Great point!!!!
💯 percent correct!! The irony. Now I bet she wishes she had given karma a little more to visit her with
Or hungry 😲 right lady 😜😅
@@WileE.CoyoteSuperGeniusgive her some hot sauce soaked bread.
If she’s left in general population, she will feel a lil taste of what she did to her own flesh & blood! She thought dropping I work for a judge would help her; Manipulation at its finest. She is a Devil!
That is NOT the cry of a mother who just lost her son. If you’ve ever heard what that sounds like, you know it’s a cry like no other 😢
I was with my parents in 1995 when the Police/Detectives told my parents my 23yr old brother had been killed by a train whilst walking home after a night out. My Dad ran. He was in such shock he just took off. My Mum .. she punched a Detective then collapsed on the floor. She made this gutterall noise/scream that I will never forget.
Shanda and her fake crying makes me sick 😡😡😡.
Unfortunately I have heard that sound, it's gutteral, almost animalistic.
The father of Timothy should have been charged as well, he knew Shanda was not suppose to have Timothy. Just disgusting.
Good point
I agree I thought the same thing when I started witching this case
Right, how the hell did he allow this?!! And why didn't they make him show his face in court?! He definitely should've been questioned as well!
Pauline, we agree 👍 but this crime happened in July of 2022, and no charges! It's frustrating
Kellio message agreed
Let's NEVER call her a "Mother" ! A Mom doesn't torture her child !
You are Right, it is a psychopath, that groomed the elder & tortured a poor special needs child that should not have been in her house.
Her older biological children will not call her mother
Yes!
I refuse to call her a mother. She is a monster, a demon, a Satan & should always be referred to as such
She's not a mother ,she's an evil horrible witch and I hope she doesn't get any visitation with her young Son ,he deserves to be able to go on with his life and put her as a distant memory ,that's the best thing for him .I hope she isn't allowed to see him ever again .I hope what his mother did doesn't hurt him in any way and that he'll be alright .
The dad should absolutely be charged. He was going to put the boy in foster care...meaning he knew the mom wasn't a safe option for the poor boy.
She was barred by the courts from having him. That’s why she couldn’t enrol him in school. She has a long history of child abuse, known by the courts.
Thats what i said. Where is the charge for the dad. He knew she wasn't safe and wasnt supposed to be alone with him.
Did he actually say this? That's not even a crime.
She was barred? What about the two other kids of hers. Like this guy and that other one. They were allowed to be with their mom a child abuser?hmmm
She not even crying . Just doing a lot of whining
As a mother who has actually had to perform CPR twice on their child, her fake cries sicken me. My son survived, and yet I still wake up screaming just dreaming and reliving it. I'm sure my entire neighborhood heard me wailing for my son.
I had to give my brother mouth to mouth... That was 10yrs ago, and I also still have extremely vivid nightmares and ptsd... I cannot imagine having to do that to my child! I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but glad your baby is OK!
How awful for you, so sorry. Glad he pulled through. Take care
I had to save my child almost every day. I didn't cry or scream. She's perfect now.
I found my Husband d××d, watched them work on him for 45 minutes, didn't scream. I screamed weeks/days later, many times. I laid on his body for hours, until the coroner came. I took pics from the angle I'd never see my Husband from again. I was not crying. I was in shock.
People are different. Your comment suggests I didn't love my baby, or the man I've been faithful to, even for eight years since his death. I got his name on my thigh, pretty big, three years after he died. Not everyone loses their mind in an emergency.
@@mrs_maverick1121 deeply sorry 4 u x hugs

I can't even believe that she is blaming her dead son on his condition, when she is the one at fault. She makes me so sick.

As a mother, this woman makes me sick to my stomach. My son is my everything, and I would do anything and everything to protect him.

I love how she goes from being distraught to answering for Paul, so he doesn't answer. She's clearly afraid of being told on. Makes me so sick.
I love that he calls her out alll her lies in court he actually looked at her during court a few times while doing so
Oh ya, so obvious! Cop should’ve shut her down
Indeed
Am I the only one who thinks Paul isn't as squeaky clean and innocent as he's making out?? I've seen a lot of comments *in his defence* yet he still sat and watched his brother slowly and painfully wither away....he actually sent a text to that excuse of a mother saying "I want to beat him to within an inch of his life right now" and that was all his feelings....I think people are forgetting that....
She's wailing and fake crying to the officer when she's sitting outside, then when answering questions, she's straight normal....
"Ohhhh God - boo hooo"
"Whose in the house, Ma'am"
(completely normal tone)
"My 2 Sons....booo hoooo" back to the false cry again.
Stevie Wonder could even see it's all bull 💩
It's like the Stanford prison experiment. She made one son a prisoner & the other his prison guard & herself warden. The students who participated in the experiment were around Paul's age when he moved in with her. Bear in mind the experiment had to be stopped within a few days due to everyone getting lost in their roles.
Shanda: I missed something.
The World: Yeah. we know. It’s called a heart and a conscience. 💀💀💀
Shanda Vander ARK is a demon 😈
She can't remember what she gave him to eat last night because she didn't give him anything. This cop knows she's lying but he's going along with her and saying things to reassure her so that she keeps up the act and keeps talking. It was nice to see her sentenced today and for the judge to tell her that Timothy won.
Yes. He did. But what a price he had to pay to win. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
She deserves way more than just prison time. Prison will be like Disneyland compared to what she did to her own son. 😔
@@agapelovepietas I didn't say that she didn't deserve worse than prison time. I said it was nice to hear the judge tell her what he thought at her sentencing. I don't know why you have to point out the obvious and put it out there that your moral high ground is something too high for me fathom.
gabriel must be prevented from seeing anything. i pray he is fostered by a caring human from here...
There's a part where she says something about food, and the officer just goes "mmmm" like whatever lady.
that fake crying is so annoying.
She’s not really crying ,as theirs no tears ,and no Runny nose . She’s squeezing between her eyes to try to force tears . This is making me really angry . What an evil woman .
She is nothing short of a devil
@@fionasteele3642 and, notice how quickly she stops ' crying ' to answer a question..!! - a genuine grieving parent would be inconsolable, unable to catch their breath to speak through heart wrenching howls of pain - they would need sedating at the very least before they could be interviewed.this horrible witch can't even get one tear out. Vile excuse for a human being.
She can’t even muster up one legit tear for what she did to her poor son. This case blows my mind. Just when I think I’ve heard the worse one, here comes another. May you forever rest in peace, Timothy. This just breaks my heart . She definitely wasn’t missing any meals.
And the fact she took the stand in her own defense, was mind boggling. She is an absolute monster and I wish they would put her under the jail .
Taking the stand in her defence worked wonderfully for the prosecution. Shame they can’t put her under the prison, Timothy should never have been with her in the first place. I’m hoping charges can be bought against the dad too. Family should be the ones that love you the most, poor sweet boy.
The women prison.. she's gonna pay for what she's done to Timothy..
Timothy real dad should have charges for putting Timothy with her. God rest his 15 yrs old young man soul. RIP . He didn't deserve to be abused.or food kept from him. She's horrible. Fake cry.
I think she was glad her son was gone.
@@roxanahendricks7574. I couldn't agree more. Especially as she has outstanding charges for abusing Timothy in another county, that's how the father had custody
I lost my 14 daughter to suicide. I remember it all in a dream state. Finding her and I just remember screaming and screaming and my brain was fighting reality. I remember laying across the backseat of my brother-in-law’s car as we chased the ambulance to the hospital while they were working their asses off trying to get a pulse. I remember seeing a face I knew greet me at the hospital bc she had children in school with mine and I remember collapsing into her.
This woman never shed a tear. There are no maternal gutter sounds of pain and that is something I can feel to this day in my bones.
You’ve absolutely nailed what she’s doing in trying to control the narrative. There is no concern at all with her child who has been taken away in an ambulance bc she must make sure her co-conspirator, another child she’s abused, doesn’t screw up the story.
The crazy thing is she works in the court. She knows the power of forensic evidence. She has to know that they already know he was dead hours before the time she claims.
This is bizarre. I can’t imagine being so detached from a life I grew inside my own body.
Exactly so detached 😢😢

43:33 I completely agree!! He is no victim!! Paul is a bully. When his stepmom and half sister heard about Timothy passing, prior to knowing HOW he died, his sister said “I bet Paul had something to do with it. He’s the biggest bully I’ve ever met!”
Stop making excuses for Paul.
He’s not autistic
He’s not challenged academically
He does not have Asperger’s syndrome
He is just a weird guy who bullies people younger and smaller than he is.
He said in his evaluation that having power over people feels good.
Paul got 30-100 years and is a danger to society!
He performs and manipulated the truth as well.
The mother especially who has involved her older son is the most evil person I've seen!
She should be given the same treatment as she meted out to her children . What phony wailing , makes me sick .
When I saw her sipping her water in the court and looking at the bottled water strange as if it had a funny taste, Imagine them giving Timothy hot sauce with bread as punishment but yet she had access to unlimited bottled water during her entire court appearance.
@elainemarock5840 - I know. She will be treated better in prison than her poor child was. She will have food, water, bed, pillow, blankets. It’s unreal.
@@StilettoCutsQuick. Hopefully the inmates treat her REALLY REALLY well, and give "people" like her a true welcoming.
I watched a video about this last night & was crestfallen to hear that this will most likely NOT be the reception she'll receive. One guest worked at that female prison and said, historically, in that exact prison, someone like her would be pandered to by the prison population &appointed the valuable in-house prisoners' legal advisor, so she'll be protected, consulted & paid in favors, gifts, premium treatment and that, weirdly, apparently women who took their offsprings' lives are nurtured & coddled/comforted in the clink.

The way she talks bad about Timothy here is so sickening. Every killer does this. Every. Single. One.
"How can he hide that from me?" He cant...theres no way your son lost all that weight and you DIDNT notice and no matter how you fake cry and tell your crazy lies, no one will believe you didnt notice and didnt purposely cause it.
The curator of her own evil, what's even more pathetic is it believes it's own lies and not only that gets annoyed when unable to convince others. At the same time, stories surface of her begging for money for extra food in prison. Whilst Timothy was alive, she kept a full fridge of food locked up. So this delusional delivery of her own demonic rhetoric is a good indicator that since her husband's stroke the intent to bring about his demise was there already. She had no moral compass when it came to Timothy. Heartbreaking for the child, who craved only love and care. Both were withheld by this monster.
The way she turns the wailing and crying on and off is so narcissistic. She literally thinks shes fooling everyone.
Ik she tries turning into an award winning actress it’s so obvious !
Ohhhh....ohhh....then she stops to answer a question..the way she turns in of and on tells me it's fake
@brianagarcia7387 no awards for her..only if it's for the very WORST parent in the ENTIRE world!
totally revolting to see and hear.
So weird cringe
I just watched the sentencing of Shanda Vander Ark, God Bless Hon. Matthew Kacel!! He spoke as a human being and a parent first, then he honored Timothy in the only way that he knew how, by showing his beautiful picture before she killed him. This case definitely left imprints on all our hearts. Justice was served!
I agree with everything you said.... ( rest in peace little one 🙏)
You know what.... I cried while that wonderful judge spoke... ☹️☹️
The poor boy is with God now, away from this cruel monster.
Judge Kacel is an incredible man.
I cried to. Judge Kacel is a wonderful man.
And what a lovely looking young lad he was, god bless you fly high sunbeam xx
Rest In Peace, Timothy. The world will take care of your mom the same way she "took care" of you, baby boy. You never deserved anything less than the best and somehow you ended up with worse than the worst. It's not fair, but I promise you that everyone is fighting for justice for you AND your "mom". You're loved and cared about, my friend. Idk if heaven is real, but if it is, you are there, and you're safe there. She can never hurt you again.
❤

Heaven is very real 🙌❤️✝️JOHN 15:5🙏
I broke out in goosebumps reading your comment. So well said. This case is beyond belief. 🙏🕊️💯
The mother had been sexually assaulted before she was 8years old, went on for years, and she had bipolar and OCD. Just a vicious cycle of abuse
@@iamahorsenut7541 lots of people have. She was a Nazi with this innocent boy. She has ZERO excuse. Starving someone takes some time. That's a long horrible death. I can't believe this whole case. Peace ✌️🕊️
Paul could have called the police or told his sister & brother the moment the torture started. He is just as guilty as shanda. Pls dont call her a "mother" as she doesnt deserve that title.
Agreed!
Out of everybody in that house, SHANDA seemed to be the only one eating well.
I would prefer seeing Paul get mental health treatment over prison. He's also a victim, in my opinion. He's been abused & brainwashed by his mother & looks like he's been starved as well. She is horrific & I pray that she never sees anything beyond her prison cell for the rest of her life.
I hear you
I agree.
I disagree
He was very resentful of his brother... He hated him & wanted to punish him. He locked him in closets and literally tortured and starved him to death.
He was the one there & in charge of all the direct actions to Timothy.
I'm sorry Paul was also abused but that will never be an excuse to me. Him being brainwashed by his mom isn't an excuse for his own hate & resentment for his sweet baby brother.
The mother is pure evil & in turn so is Paul.
He needs to be punished too... You can't just get away with torture & murder just because your mommy was abusive to you too.
Exactly right!
@@pettykittyfamI agree with you.
She needs charged for the damages she did to Paul.
She ruined the lives of all three of those boys. She made Paul her surrogate husband and partner in crime. The only time she gave him affection was when he was obeying her every sadistic command. He kept saying ‘we’ in his interview as if they were a parenting unit. So sickening. I really want to know what all happened in OK. If Timothy’s dad knew what an evil witch she was, why did he let her take Timothy??
@@Su_aSponte I totally agree 100% to you. Shonda make her parenting to Timothy "our" thing between Paul and her. Disgusting.
I agree
Her conviction is automatic LWOP she will die in prison. She will never see the light of day again.
💯
“His meds was killing his appetite” you know what else was killing his appetite? His mom, starving him..
Yeah it’s a blatant lie because he hadn’t had his meds filled since he moved in with them 🤯 and Paul even said that when he first moved in with them (when he was taking his meds) he was “chunky”…! 🤯
It's a shame she can't get the same punishment she gave her son.
I agree, poor Timothy 🙏
I totally agree, she should receive the same punishment she gave to her son, Timothy, you are in the arms of Jesus, whole and healthy. Denied life here by your own mother, you are alive in Christ. God bless you.
Agree completely!!
Not the legal way but the mothers in jail will find a way like she deserves
@@knarrie1966I agree, it's just a matter of time
This woman is infuriating. Every time she says she needs water or a snack for her hypoglycemia I can’t help but think “yeah so did your son and you gave him nothing” so she should get nothing too. Her fake vomiting and crying is so transparent and all those apologies are going to the wrong person. I am also surprised she didn’t request an ambulance for her incarceritis.
During her trial, she took a sip of water every time she said she couldn’t remember a text or incident. So obvious she was lying.
Incarceritis. Best new true crime word ever
@@AnnieBooker that’s what we say in the ER when arrested individuals insist they have to come to the hospital. 🤣 Chief complaint: incarceritis.
There’s no mistaking that Shanda was Paul’s entire life. After watching his police interrogation I was blown away because Paul kept telling the detective his mother loved them so much and i was literally watching Paul begin to realize his world was not what he thought it was. He now clearly understands the level of inhumanity of it all and he needs intensive psychological rehabilitation and counseling to be OK. Paul may have been able to go to work and school but it’s obvious he had no other life. He wasn’t doing what normal kids his age do because he was essentially her slave in my opinion. He even says in text: Mom, Timothy is trying to get me in trouble. He knew he didn’t want to be in his brother’s shoes. He’s not adequately socialized.
No one of this family isn't correctly associated with the other members of the family, especially concerning the relationship between Paul and Thimothy, since he has been absent all this time, except for the Several months prior his murder.
That's pure evil that this psychopath shows, she is definitely alienating family members, in order to keep full control - the Narcissists first tactic of manipulation.
Paul is a victim like Thimothy was.He wasn't just so important for her to get rid off and on the other hand - she saw his value as a tool , an instrument she might use over the other household.I believe she was a obstacle, but not such a great one as Thimothy!
Paul couldn't feel more protected , except from the moments when he could be hadfull and useful to her.Thats why he participated , but he was disturbed throughout the process of torture over Thimothy.
She was convincible, that nothing however depends on him, since she is control, but yet he started to receive a flashlight that this is not right and the form it takes is leading to something that is not right!
I envy her for the stable nervous system she demonstrates - cold-blooded bitch! She has preferences at being treated in a certain way , with respect at all times.. she doesn't lose her cool! You think you can put this "thing" through suffering? I assure you that she is capable to endure a lot and still keep her head clean.
Agree, Paul has been damaged too from his mother. Now he needs help
Well said
Thank you! You are so correct! This poor child! That is basically what he is... His mother, no... that woman has stunted his growth. I have to find his whole interrogation. This breaks my heart even further. She is so vile.
For him to starve to death he was starving for months. She saw this in February. And his face would absolutely look emaciated so she knew. She didn’t care.
It’s crazy how she can state and whine about her “health” issues, hypo/hyperglycemia whatever it is she said, and carrying on about being light headed and dizzy, but they’re treating her with much dignity comparatively to how she treated her own flesh and blood. He was tortured 24/7 and she’s uncomfortable for what, less than an hour?
When I watched the interrogation footage of Paul and he asked the detective for a snack I was so hopeful they would bring him bread with hot sauce on it 🙌
L lp
Right!!!!!! I said the same DAGGUM thing!!!!!
Anyone who calls her an animal, please rephrase, as she's a monster. Animals have compassion for each other for goodness sake, something this monster doesn't have
Animals are more protective of their young than this 👿
Humans are animals 😂
Amazing how she's able to stop crying long enough to answer questions and then starts back up again after she's done answering.
With no tears!
This is the worst fake crying I’ve ever heard.
instead of pursuing a legal career she might of got a small part in hollywood?
Right a complete phony
@@tessmoore3762demonic
I can't help but notice how well-nourished mommy is!
Yeah, she hasn't missed a meal
So disgusting her saying how could he do that? Even then blaming him for dying! She’s absolutely disgusting 🤮
I hate how she keeps apologizing to the officers like she's sweet and passive. We all know this is not the case. She's trying to come across as gentle and someone that's not capable of doing the awful things she's done to this poor child.
We know that now.
How the officers were so polite is beyond me. I saw the verdict and Judge Kacel brought me to tears. Thank you Law Enforcement Officers and "honest" judges who hold these demons accountable. My heart breaks for that precios child.
Kinda funny when she said "it's kind of cluttered but I'm sure you've seen worse" and the officer just said okaaay.
The best part of this entire horrific case is the Timmy is in heaven with God and he does not remember all the horrific things that were done to him. I am imagining him.running through a beautiful field of brilliant colored flowers and green grass that looks loke emeralds. I honestly do not understand why God allows such horrific torture, especially to innocent children, but I do trust that He will more rhan make it up to those who were tortured.
@@dewick134
do you know what Jesus Christ says about people like this? He literally says >>>
*"and if any of you should hurt one of these little ones, it would be better for you to tie a millstone around your neck and jump in the deep water”*
It used to be hard for me to understand as well but God is not to blame here or in any other situation.
God gave this lady free will and look what she did with hers she chose bad she chose wrong she chose evil. She didn’t have to but did.
If heaven exists and God exists and I believe these things to be true- THEN that means Satan exists as well… and we know for sure that God did not influence this lady or female rather, (bc a lady would never act this way) God did not influence her in anyway to do these things that she’s done.
Satan and his demons do and did and will again. People are calling her a demon she’s not one… but she’s clearly plagued by demons, maybe even thousands.
We look at her and anyone like her with such disgust and hatred because of her cruelty her coldheartedness & evilness but what are we judging this by moral law man’s law?
If you are not saved by the blood of Jesus Christ that is how God sees every single one of us.
you’re like stained and dirty and only Jesus Christ can wash you clean and change your heart and make you like New and so you must be born again.
But if you would like to spend eternity with her and or people like her or worse do nothing and your place in hell will be secured.
God wants us to choose life.
and you cannot wait until you die out of this bag of bones and flesh to make your decision- don’t let the demons plaguing you make you ignore this message. They can’t stand the truth and will have you running away from it.
For the last 40+ years doctors and scientists have been getting together and have now come to the conclusion that death does not mean what they originally thought it to be. by definition they had to change what it says when you look up the meaning. And what they have found was it does not mean that you cease to exist altogether when you die. Christians know this already one things for certain we’re all going to live forever but you have to choose now while you’re in this life of where your forever will be.
And if you hate evil like this then I think you should choose God/Jesus Christ the kingdom of God and heaven. .. not a nasty place with people like this person and much worse.
God wants you to accept Jesus Christ into your life make him your new number one best friend. So put your trust in the lord & love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul & confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the son of God he was crucified & died on the cross for your sins and raised again on the third day. Accept the lord as your savior. And you will be saved.
Your place In Heaven-will be secured and you’ll be able to live with him in his kingdom. For all eternity ✝️👑✝️
@missmisty5181 I am in agreement with you. I am a born again Christian and I believe the Bible is true. I personally believe humans can have demons living in themselves. That is clear in the Bible. Jesus cast them out of people, so we know they are real and they can live in humans. For anyone to do what she did, she definitely has demons living in her. She may even have a legion of them.
Man this hurt my heart😢, this precious child died thinking no one loved him.
You’re perfect in heaven now Timothy❤️🕊️🇦🇺
The father also needs accountability for placing Tim in her care illegally.
As a mom of 3 autistic sons what this woman has done is completely unacceptable😢😢😢 I hope she enjoys her prison cell...
I have two girls with autism may have Asperger's my husband has it too. They are all doing wonderful
@@cynthialandis4263I'm so glad. My eldest daughter is autistic, and happily married, she's also doing wonderfully. This case is the worse I've ever heard of. It's unfathomable how this level of evil exists.
@cynthialandis4263 Until they're not! This IS what autistic people are capable of and generally have comorbid conditions that accompanie autism like Alexi! Mind Blindness and them lacking "Theroy of Mind" is very real in these "humans".
Dido😡🤬
It’s unfortunate that all three of your sons are affected.
I don’t know what it is, I thought of it is due to over diagnosing any developmental delay as autism.
But the rest of it… Somethings going on. There’s something going on in the environment that’s messing with our DNA and causing all these autistic people.
Definitely not a good time to be breeding.
I hope you have all the support you can get
Dry tears, dry heaves. What a phony! I don’t understand how she can be so cruel to children she brought into this world. Those poor kids.
Nothing but lies with this POS I can’t! She said “ I didn’t know how skinny he was” pleaseeee 🙄🙄🙄🙄😡😡😡
She kept her son in an ice bath for hours on end, and she had the nerve to complain that it's cold in the room! She is absolutely nauseating!
She's getting it allll back now in her lil tiny cold cell, and hates the jail food, poor thing
My son has Asperger’s Syndrome…you learn how to deal and cope with these children when they have their moments. It’s called being a mom…being a parent and having strength to stand by your child through everything.
When they smash the room to bits and stop showering and threaten to harm you, it gets old quick. My son is in a group home I can't handle him
@@m42037 while I do understand what you are saying and I understand for some parents those extreme behaviors can be too much… these two didn’t seem to be afraid of Timothy. And the reasons they say he was punished seem very insignificant. “Stealing food” “leaving his room” “lying”. Sounds like normal behavior for a child and teen.
The son would have been abused even if he was neurotypical. She was probably using his autism as an excuse or a way to get sympathy. And using his ADHD to take his drugs.
@@leigha000 Oh ya I completely agree!! After year's of my ADULT son on and off would disobey and never clean his messes, never would wash a cup or dish, he would talk to himself in his room and laughing I mean to the point where it was like you'd think there's two people in his room. He told my late wife there was a girl on his window sill that would come and talk to him. He'd shower about once a month, longest I remember back in our old house he went two months without taking a shower. I lived in the basement he lived in one of the upstairs rooms. He smashed his room up bad. Whenever he'd get mad he'd punch holes in the walls, old food on the floor like pizza crust, bread pieces, cig butts you name it. Coffee cups with mold in it from rotten old coffee with a bunch of cig butts in them and spit, etc. It got way out of hand. Whenever he would go crazy we'd call the police and they'd take him to the hospital on the psych floor, but they'd only keep him seven days tops then send him back home. After a couple weeks it would start back up again. I tell him to do something he'd tell me later, or no, I'd say "Kenny I want that cleaned up etc, he'd say " don't Fk with me dad" then a shouting match would happen, then he'd go in his room and start breaking things. It took years before I could finally get him in a place that handles these kids, or adults. They take all their SSI checks and only give them about 40 dollars a month spending money for cigarettes etc. He's now 30, he's been in there since 2016. There's much more to the story. I feel bad real bad I can't do nothing for him because I'm poor, he's in Detroit, not a good area. But he seems to like it there. I don't talk to him much but when we talk on the phone he never says he hates it there. I want to bring him here to a good neighborhood but that would cost probably two grand a month I can't afford it. The state of Michigan don't care about them they just put you in old places in the ghetto more less, and nothing you can do about it. My dad and my aunt won't even give me a dime to buy him something, my aunt says she wants to buy him some stuff but that's just talk. Lol my dad won't even help me lol. So ya that what she did was pure evil and she had a job that made great money. If she couldn't handle him like me she could've put him in a group home simple, they know how to deal with them! She should get more than life, I can't say or RUclips will delete my comment
I have a son with epilepsy and a son with severe autism. I could never imagine hurting them. My son with autism is the happiest sweetest person I know. My son with epilepsy gets combative and angry before during and after seizures and we deal with that too. It's not a choice he makes. It's a symptom of his condition. This lady could absolutely help what she did.
This case is a little worse than the Ruby Franke case. But Ruby and Jodi used some of the same punishments that Timothy received, no food, punishment as wall sits, hand cuffs, hog tied, no water, and no empathy for her own children. What is wrong with these mothers?
I wish I knew sp we could fix or prevent it. It is so sick !!!
I dare say their torment would have amped upwards if not caught at this stage. I don't understand these parents who inflict horror upon their children.
*monsters , not mothers
Unfortunately is an endless circle of violence. Apparently she was abused herself by her father and that kind on behavior got “normalized” through her life. Is not an excuse, but as a community, is our responsibility to open our eyes on this kind of behaviors around us, and act upon it.
Make no mistake, Ruby and Jodi’s abuse would have risen to this level had one of the kids not escaped.
The officer who told her she was being charged did an amazing job... he was kind when absolutely NO kindess or compassion were not required to be given... well done.
I have no clue how he held it together.
He was way too over the top nice to her. Imo.
There’s a reason why the cops are “nice” just enough to her .
I don’t think he was being nice, I heard sarcasm and passive aggression in his remarks to her.😉
@pchic7860 Absolutely, Sgt Bill from Policeoffthecuff always says the same thing. I believe Sgt Bill is very good at reading body language. Children are precious gifts from God, this is pure evil. How can parents be so evil, Duty Ron this is really shocking, a real acting performance. Actually saying oh my God!!!
God is watching all the time, he will never be mocked.
Absolutely 💯 no longer sobbing,controlling the situation with Paul, not wanting the truth to be revealed.
Demonic 💯 evil.
I was legal guardian for my brother who suffered with Angelmans Syndrome, one of the highest blessings of my entire life.
This breaks my heart, as i knew my brother William understood everything, even if he could not speak verbally.
May Timothy be safe in the Lords house in heaven, where God's love never ends. Amen 🙏 🙏🙏
@@BuffyLynn
Did you? I’ll try again bc I didn’t and it made me kinda sick. But w her faking dizziness etc like she needed smelling salts ibwas already annoyed.
The last full day timothy was alive, july 5th 2022, he was punished with an 8 hour ice bath, shower curtain removed so he couldnt use it to "cover up" for warmth of any kind, this punishment was for "faking" being nonresponsive... he was dying... shanda asked paul if it would be "crazy" to put hot sauce on timothys penis, and if hes willing to do it...
One of the sickest things i feel likely happened is that they tortured his dead body with further "punishments" for being nonresponsive... punishments for being dead..
Furthermore, hot sauce was in fact found in the bathroom timothy was regularly forced to take ice baths in.
That poor sweet innocent child had hypothermia so bad his internal organs were in a state of hypothermia.
Timothy you sweet angel. I am so so sorry. You deserved patience and love and support and happiness. You will FOREVER live on in my heart. Rest in peace you beautiful soul.
This woman is a monster. She is so concerned over every imagined physical or mental issue she claimed to have but was completely unconcerned about her child's horrific physical condition. SHE IS A LIAR! SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING.
I watched this full interview the other day and I loved it when the detective says "how many good people do you know that starves their kid to death" after Paul is saying his mom is a good person.
Indeed
She couldn’t even get fake tears to flow. This just shows how much she really “ loved” this poor child. She knew exactly what she was doing to him! There’s a place in hell with her name! Evil,evil monster!!
Exactly
She is so fake and looks quite well fed! Hystrionic at best!!
As the judge said she was only upset she could not abuse him anymore and she knew she was in trouble. She did not care about that child.
Pink shanda Vander ARK is a demon 😈
I have chills from listening to her demon lies and fake cries.
I'm so sorry, Timothy 😢💔🙏
My son passed away and I have never been the same since.
Me or his did everything to save my son's life. And it haunts me every day. This woman is sick pathetically sick in the head. She got everything she deserved in court
I’m so very sorry for your loss 💗
So sorry for your loss
My condolences. I can’t imagine your pain 🫂
Sending you love and hugs from Oklahoma ❤
She was competent enough to work as a court clerk and scored super high on the LSAT...yet claims she has memory and sensory problems! She is sadistic, masochistic and evil. I do mean evil. I live about 90 min from that house. It's a good neighborhood and she hid in plain site. Paul definaty played a part, however, it is immed obvious that something is "off" with him. I was a social work tech with at risk kids. Paul doesn't present as a 20 yr old. His behavior can't be let go but prison doesn't seem his best option. If i could sentence them, she would never have a comfortable day in her life. Paul would be court committed to a mental/occupational facility. I believe he's young enough to be saved. Survival guilt is real. Paul also has to come to terms with what he did to Tim at that womans commands, cameras, locks etc. God help the little guy. Is he 8? When he finds out what his family is about, he will need endless support. By far, one of the most infuriating, heartbreaking cases ever. 💔
Agree 💯
I get this icky feeling that sexual abuse runs rampant in that particular household.
Yes I agree. Paul needs mental health services
Court ordered.. n occupational therapy.
He is deathly afraid of his mom. N did wat she asked.. but poor Paul feels bad about it.. mom is more culpable. Bc she directed all of the abuse.
Now she has no one to abuse.. hope prison justice happens.. bread n hot sauce for a long time
Not a tear!!! The policeman knows she’s lying. It must be hard for him to keep his council with her.
Btw - the officer did a great job at gathering information in a calm way. I love his comments to her.
She is always performing. At her house, the panic attack in the courtroom, getting sick on the stand, it's all performances!
This woman is pure evil and everything about this case shakes me to my core. When she was being arrested she said she was hypoglycemic… She sure didn’t worry about Tim’s medical needs… which I’m sure were way beyond being Hypoglycemic after she was done with him! What a sick, twisted evil monster! Can’t even refer to her as a human being! I’m so very saddened and my heart breaks for Tim. I have to believe he’s safely in the arms of Jesus now! 😢I just literally have no words to express what I’m feeling quite honestly. 😥😪🤕
Tim is with the angels. He's in Heaven eating and drinking and healthy.
'Reactional hypoglycemic', she claimed, yet she swore Timothy was faking everything that he had going on...she makes me want to hurl 🤢
And then she says on the stand that after her arrest she didn’t eat for a month. Who the f cares?! Pity party, pathetic, narcissistic woman and mother.
I believe she is of Satans spawn, an absolute demon.
The father is guilty as well. For what I learned on Paul's sentencing, the judge mentioned that the father and stepmom didn't want him in the house because he was abusive towards Timothy and the other brother and Shanda didn't have custody because she was abusive as well and he wentcand dumped the poor boy to those two demons. He should go to jail too.
I DO NOT see any tears!! She actually believes she has them fooled...
Dishes is a demon 😈
And her crying sounds so fake!!! 😡Grrrrr
Thank you Dutyron and Ed. ❤
No words for that woman just sick sick monster 👹
Yep
Message agreed!
Wallace!
She's stepping into her own crap. By her CONTINUOUSLY saying "I should have made him eat. How did I not see this. How could he hide this from me" only brings to attention how bad she knows he looked. And what teenager goes on a hunger strike? When my son was a teenager he and his friends nearly ate us out of house and home!! The more she talks the deeper the hole she digs for herself. She's a horrible human being.
Yes when mine were teenagers they ate tons of food.
That was her way of building her case and overall COVERING HERSELF ‼️
She said he stopped his medication because it stopped him eating if he was on hunger strike wouldn’t he keep taking it if he was on hunger strike?
How could a mother do this to her own child that kid must have been in agony for months even years he's in a better place now fly high lil man Rest In Peace
I honestly believe the 20 year old, Paul, was so abused, neglected, and controlled by that evil horrible mother. He was home-schooled and barely had any outside input from anyone other then that horrible woman. She put way too much responsibility opon him. He should not receive a long sentence for the incredibly awful, horrific, torturous death of his brother. Once he was out of her control he was incredibly remorseful for his part in the treatment of Timothy and he did the only appropriate thing by aiding in the prosecution of his “mother”. He needs therapy and a second chance.
As far as the dog, the dog was probably the only real love shown to that poor child as he was dying
He wasnt raised by her. He didnt move with her until he was almost 18. He knew better, even if he was on the spectrum, he even admits to tht. He cared more about getting her approval than he did torturing his own brother. He is not 100% innocent in any way. Just bc someone is on the spectrum, doesnt mean they cant think for themselves, dont know whats right and wrong. Paul knew what he was doing but didnt care, bc he was the "golden child" in his moms eyes and thts all he yearned for.
I could not agree more,he needs help more than anything.
@marielle3548 He NEEDS prison. No excuses.
Except he only went to live with her as an adult-he had a history of assaulting and hating his brother at his fathers house
Paul might not be diagnosed as autistic, but he is definitely learning disabled. I’ve taught students like that.
Paul being convicted of anything is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice I've ever seen
Sensory processing is a symptom of autism. I have a few close family members with autism. He shows quite a few symptoms of being under the spectrum. Therapeutic incarceration. He obviously was manipulated, abused, controlled and not fed appropriately. Paul is a victim too and way too thin.
Yes, I work with clients with Developmental Disabilities and he definitely is on the spectrum. But don't get me wrong, that don't mean he is special needs because most are very smart & can articulate certain things very well. He seems to have some Stockholm behavior to me as well 🥺!!
What makes u think that? Simply his behavior on the stand? There hasnt been enough information out for you to diagnose him
@mama_tichi Paul wasnt raised by her. He didnt live with her until he was almost 18yrs old. He knew what he was doing was horribly wrong. He cared more about getting her approval than he did torturing his own brother. He knew it was wrong and did it any way. He isnt innocent at all. He wants to back up now tht hes caught
That kid Paul just breaks my heart. He's definitely been abused by her. He's under her coercive control. She's so disgusting.
He is not a kid.. he has been abused , but most of criminals have gone through a lot of evil coming from their own families too…. He’s not challenged, even being afraid of his mother is not a reason to help her killing his disabled innocent brother …..
Whilst i agree Paul isn’t a kid, unless you’ve been coerced by a someone it’s unreasonable for you to say that. once they have their claws into you it’s almost impossible to get away, they threaten you, they can beat you, they withdraw food and other privileges eg; phone, pc, TV coercion is like an addiction, you cannot control it out of fear, I absolutely know paul is guilty, but i feel that he was following orders because the mom may of threatened him with the same punishment.
I was coerced by my Ex-Boyfriend over 27 years ago and i still get nervous and anxious when i hear things like this! it’s absolutely crippling fear.
I agree! And if it wasn’t for his mom, he never would’ve done those things. He’s absolutely traumatized, by not only everything concerning his brother, but his own abuse by the hands of his mom and dad.
@@pupikatz8442 He May legally be an adult……. But I know myself at age 20, I was still a kid. Paul is under coercive control. Our laws here in the USA are horrible around it. In the UK, they have proper laws and better psychological understanding around it. Paul is still guilty. It doesn’t absolve him from punishment……. But given being in his own, he probably never would have done any of it. He’s not the psychopath his mother is.
Why doesn't anyone acknowledge how often abused kids reach out for help and don't get it? We cry out for help and the police come and tell our parents and then we are savagely punished. Why do people EVER expect abused people to trust police or DCYF?! Every. Time. You. Call. Them, YOU are abandoned by them and brutally punished by the abuser.
The same goes for when you're in an abusive marriage. "Well, just leave," they say, and then they do, and you get beaten again.
If they want people to call the cops, the cops need to help and not just put the child into an even worse situation with even more controlling violence levied against them.
It’s amazing how many people think they can get away with Murder.
She is a special kind of evil 😈
No Shanda. The reason the cop knows you won’t do anything to him is because you target the vulnerable. You go after someone that is defenseless and completely reliant on your mercy. This cop can defend himself and you are reliant on his mercy. So of course you won’t do anything
Everyone talks crap about addicts and alcoholics but its truly not the worst thing you can be. So many of these phsycopaths are "upstanding citizens" on the outside.
Absolutely agree 💯%
I get so much second hand embarrassment when I see someone pretending to cry and lying through their teeth.
Same!
Me to
Ugggh, same. Cringe. Yuck.
"I feel like I just missed something!". Yeah gurl.... Your bloody moral compass. 🙄
Listen to her voice in between sobs. It goes back to normal. She’s lying, she’s lying, she’s lying. Just plain evil. She’s not a mother she’s a monster!
And I don't see one tear being shed.
No tears being shed, no snot running, no Kleenex even needed.
Paul was clearly fearful of his mother and will need intensive therapy and even then, he may never recover from the trauma and guilt. I feel so sorry for him😢
I do too 😢
When your parent brainwashed you into thinking doing bad things are ok ,and then the day comes that you find out it's actually abnormal 😢😢😢😢
Indeed
In all of their messages, his interrogation, the trial and even Paul himself stated he was not fearful of his mother. He just wanted to please her
It was also stated by family that Paul always tormented Timothy and mistreated him
Catching up from the UK. This is such a dreadful case. That poor boy. This woman is an absolute disgrace to humanity.
She makes Tom Cruise look like a great actor. I noticed she wasn't deprived of any food!
Dont hate on Tom
“He didn’t want a kiss or a hug” ??????? She is pure evil.
Exactly! As if she ever hugged and kissed that poor boy. 😢
Yes he did, she probably told him you’re not getting that from me. I’m sure he’s getting the love and attention that he deserves in heaven where he’s safe.
I just finished listening to one of Shanda’s prison phone calls complaining about the food they serve asking her friend if she could put money in her account so she could order things she liked to eat, I was so happy when her friend said no she didn’t have it to give !! Her son wasn’t able to eat anything except for bread covered in hot sauce so why shouldn’t she have to suffer !!
She clearly has no understanding of other people, no empathy, no remorse. I hope that the cooks in prison are putting all sorts of filthy in her food and she never ever gets to enjoy another morsel of anything EVER. That poor kid. Her texts tell the story of a woman who enjoyed causing pain and suffering.
I hate it when they say she vomited upon seeing pictures of Timothy.. she didnt vomit! She acted out a reaction she thought would suffice! She has a black soul!
It sounds like she’s blaming this poor child for what she did to him.
She makes my skin crawl. I was a case like this, although I survived. I was near death when I was rescued in 1978. The cop was able to dip a finger into my pelvis and the back of his finger wasn't even touching the skin of my sunken belly (I was 7). This woman looks SO much like the foster monster who harmed me.
Paul looks like a skeleton, too. He was definitely being abused, and part of the abuse of HIM was to force him to hurt his brother; I can almost guaranty it. In the 'home' I was in where this happened to us, the more 'liked' kids were punished for any compassion by making them punish us. Sometimes they would be forced to personally take the lives of their pets if they wouldn't hurt us. Looking back as an adult, I think that's *why* they were given pets to begin with.
Just because someone isn't DIAGNOSED autistic, doesn't mean they AREN'T autistic. Paul obviously has some kind of delay, even if it's only the one that she forced onto him.
I don't mean this rudely (but also not nicely, frankly), but do you guys truly NOT understand how abused children are taught to be TERRIFIED of police, DCYF, etc.? We don't ask for help because the times that we do ask for help, WE are the ones who suffer. The cops/ DCYF don't listen to us, don't believe us... and then we are brutalized savagely. You want people like us to reach out to you for help? THEN HELP US WHEN WE DO. Prove the monsters wrong and actually HELP. When my brother escaped from the foster monsters, do you know who dragged him back for a night of having his skin flayed off [literally, not figuratively] by a 'switch'? The cops!
Can you please stop talking about Paul like he has reason to trust DCYF or 911? Can you please acknowledge the fact that DCYF had already been involved and she STILL ended up with poor Timothy in her care?? Did they check on him at his father's house? Did they know where he was? Did they CARE WHERE HE WAS?
All of you people pointing fingers at Paul, and I kind of get that... but you have no idea how often kids ask for help and don't get it. Over, and over, and over... Now you want to know why he didn't keep trying? Maybe you think about that for a while, eh?
Exactly... some of the comments these cops make reinforce the stereotype that they're just looking for an excuse to harm someone ("please resist"????).... WTF 😬🫣🚔
The ugly thT goes on behind closed doors is unreal. Sorry you too experienced abuse.😅
Good point. Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome. I remember getting sucked in by a malignantly narcissistic boss. Looking back, I realized I joined her cult of personality because I was afraid of her, so I shamefully did her bidding. Like placating a bad man. The outcome for me has taken years to overcome somewhat. But I still have bad dreams and PTSD from it.
My heart goes put to you. I, also came from abuse. I was 4 when my mother threw me out of our car like a bag of garbage. From beatings to rape, I went through it all, but I survived but I couldn't tell anyone because my punishment was always worse.
Paul was already an adult when he started living with his mother and Timothy. He was already 18. So she didn't force him to do those things to his brother he was a willing participant. He could have said no that's not right, to her, but he didn't. He could have helped but he didn't.
Paul was abused in different ways . Being made to torture your own brother must have been horrendous for him . Extensive therapy with a very long supervision of his progress
So agree with you, Paul was tortured in a different way just as cruel though
I agree
Paul’s testimony was truthful painful and honest. I believe Paul was equally abused and needs intensive psychiatric evaluation and therapy.
Allegedly, Paul SA'ed Timothy in OK. That would explain why Paul moved to Mich with his mom while Timothy stayed in OK.
@@shellbell313really? I bet he has either been SAd himself by his mom or someone and then did the same. He seems to have a disability as well. So maybe he slightly didn’t know it was SA? His mom has him pouring hot sauce on the other brothers private so his understanding of boundaries and such is not accurate
I think she should be charged with abuse against Paul as well. He is obviously mentally challenged and was totally controlled and manipulated by her through fear.
Yep.
Paul got exactly what was coming to him. He is a sadistic monster just like his mother. He could have gotten help at any time. I will give him a little credit for trying to get his mother to lighten up, but not sure of his motivation. The Prosecutor suggested that they did not want Timothy to died so they could continue to torture him.
Hope he’s treated as well in prison as his brother was
Thank you for covering child abuse cases. No child deserves abuse, certainly not an abusive parent. Children need stronger protection by the legal system. The entire system fails these children.
Thank you for watching @HomebirthMommaX3 we hope you consider subscribing here?
Yes indeed, we are thankful. Because this case hits home for me because I supervise adults and children with Developmental Disabilities and this thang makes me sick 😡. Thinking about my babies aka my clients I would litterly spazz out on this evil egg donor and nobody could stop me. That's why I'm strict with who I hire because working in this field I promise you will see wolves in sheep clothing so you have to be their voice 😪. Smh, this is painful and angers me to the core 😡!!
The video is hard to watch. She is such a evil monster!
Yes it is
Even the Great Dane knew and cared that this boy was suffering and dying. The dog offered more love and compassion than Timothy had known in months, if not years. At least he was shown love by this dog. 😭💔🐾🐕🦺♥️😥😞
What the hell is she talking about?!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. Just stop. You didn't notice he was skinny until that morning?!!!! Seriously!!!! What the hell!
Paul should get some prison time, not in general pop. He also needs intense long term, residential therapy, and stepped down slowly, only when he is ready to be integrated into society. The “mother” if you can call her that, should do life with no parole, no special protection.
Agree
After seeing the dog video, I changed my mind. Paul can be as manipulative as his mom. I still think he was abused as well, but is much more culpable than betrayed in most media.
💯
Paul is the one who initially starved him to death. He had to clean Timothys poop so he didn't feed him because of that.
In his interagation he said he tried to give him enough calories.
The mom put the responsibility of caring for a special needs child on her other speciaal needs child.
Paul resented it. He was addicted to his electronics. His you tube channel to have to stop and look after Timothy. Thats why he , Paul, kept him locked in that closet.
The Mom only cared about herself and Gabriel. She had no emotional attachment to Paul or Timothy due to their disabilities. She used Paul.
Paul wanted to please his mom.PAUL IS EQUALLY QUILTY as Mom. It was by his hand his brother died.
There is untidy and there is dirty this house is disgusting no excuse for that
I feel Paul was abused also and was watched constantly and nagged to do his mothers bidding You can hear in his responses on the stand how brainwashed he was, I truly hope he gets the help
He needs to deal with this. That woman is pure evil.
Yes, yes she is
Plus the cameras. Paul knew she watched him constantly.
Yep I agree.
You can also see how he struggles with empathy.
It's not surprising though looking at the adults responsible for raising him and their behaviours.
She was sentenced today life with no parole.
We covered it live
Shandra has two life sentences.
This life and the here after.
That second life sentence will be her torture.
