Mom, step-dad open up about daughter's tragic murder by her own father

- One month after their daughter Kayden's death, Kathy Sherlock and Brian Sherlock, are opening up to "Nightline" in their first joint television interview about their unimaginable loss.
Judge should be in prison. He practically signed that sweet little girl's death warrant.
I agree.
Yup.. her blood is on his hands. I hope he sees her face everyday.
I AGREE 1000% !!
@• mankenntihn • Because he has a violent past, and has actually bitten a person's ear off. That much information is enough to elicit a more thoughtful verdict. People who commit lesser offenses don't get visitation rights. If any of the evidence scarcely suggests child endangerment, then its fair the visitations should be supervised.
@• mankenntihn • You have to understand the judge knew the father had a history of violence, abuse, aggression, and drinking. If you watch the video it is stated that he strangled the mother of his child, and was acting physically abusive to his mom in front of his daughter, and the daughter did state she was scared of her father. It's probably just a different of opinion but it's important for judges to keep this instances in mind so others don't get hurt.
The judge sounds a bit sexist. He called her a “crazy mom” which she obviously she isn’t. She cares about her children, like most parents. He didn’t take her seriously. Doesn’t sound like a very fair trial
Anonymous [26490] The dad killed his daughter. How can that judge cakl the mother crazy?
Bet he feels super great about his attitude now.
Internet Girl 👧 of course bc they don’t feel remorse
Most of the judges are psychos 🐷🐷🐷
Pickle Rick how does he dare??
I would had sue him for that insult 🐍🐍🐍🐷🐷🐷🐷💀💀👿👿
Anonymous [26490] judges are arseholes even with all that evidence is so much
I appreciate his sister saying “yes he had horrible issues” “he should have been evaluated and supervised” I hear so many family’s (aka flying monkeys) of narcissists saying they were fine, it’s not their fault.
When she first appeared I thought that was the direction this would take. I was relieved to hear she didn’t make any excuses for him and wanted him to burn in hell for what he did.
@@nottellingyou14wait when did she say that

It was hard to understand her

Suing the judge won’t bring her daughter back yet I would sue anyway so this never happens again by that judge.
The judge was following what she was allowing. She allowed him to have unsupervised visits with his daughter. Then when he went for part custody she expected the judge to say he couldn't have it (because she wanted control of their daughter). She should not have been allowing unsupervised visits without a court order. The judge saw her as already allowing him visits despite saying he was violent...what would that say to a judge?
For bastards like Jeff Mancuso it will always be about control and winning.
May that judge be thrown off the bench.
@@tinaosullivan6451 Two words Qualified Immunity. You cannot sue a judge.
This was totally preventable! The judge dropped the ball and now this precious life is gone. Just like that! So senesless!
@@tinaosullivan6451 I actually should have said judges have “absolute immunity”. I got my education the old fashion way, 30 yrs working in the court system. Also exactly who in the “State” would you have her sue? No state agency was involved in their case. This was a adversarial domestic legal proceedings (plaintiff v. respondent) The judge was careless based on what the mother said in this interview and the info in the father’s mental health evaluation but you still cannot sue the judge. Could the judge have some implicit bias toward the mother? I don’t know kind of sounds like it. I hope the recall works or he is not re-elected to his seat if he is in an elected position. This was a horrendous decision.
you know her stepdad truly loved her when he says “my little girl” while crying 😭
@dorothydreams oftornadoes i dont think you understand what this guy has gone through. so what "they dont cry". if this ever happened to me i would try my best to recover and show that im strong.
@dorothydreams oftornadoes agreed. there wasnt a single tear. seemed strange to me tbh.
It was heartbreaking. He was clearly this little girl's father in every way except for biological, and biological is overrated.
Men try so hard to not cry yiu can feel his pain for what he saw
dorothydreams oftornadoes tears don’t always mean anything.
Don’t say the mom is “too unemotional”. Everyone deals differently with the death of a loved person.
I meant death lol
Exactly. People also don't understand on these shows they tape the same thing over and over and over again. If they are crying sometimes they have them stop because maybe they don't understand their words.
I was a makeup artist in Chicago for a television show in the 90s.
So judging her for not crying on this show is crazy.
Exactly. That woman has probably cried herself to sleep every night. She looks numb and trying to hold it together.
You are sooo correct, cause I feel really sad & empty but I fight my tears back depending on who the person is
She provides cried until she couldn't cry anymore!
My daughter is living this now. The dad’s “rights” are more important than the child’s safety or his violent behavior.
Stay safe
I hate it.
I’m praying for the child and mother. Tell her to stay strong and don’t give up ❤️💪🏽
I also lived it. I couldn’t take it anymore and fought to the death for my children. It was sheer hell.
I wish you the best of luck. Reconciliation probably won't work but befriend him if possible and get him to commit to being better for your child. To bad you don't live in NC, they don't even listen to the father there.
As a foster parent, for years I've been watching the system give innocent children back to abusive parents. The courts don't care. The social workers are too overloaded with work to care. We need stronger laws to protect these children or this same thing will continue to happen.
I agree
Yup, it was already too much for me just on one ER rotation. Bone scans showing horrible fractures at different healing stages. Cops sending them home with abusive parents. I don’t know how you do it.
yeah and the these poor kids need more people like us to be a guiding light in their life,a protector,a person who shows them what love is and it hurts to know that some parents don't even care for their own children,i would like to be a foster parent one day,but no matter what kind of person i am i will never feel good enough because i will never somehow take the place of the love that their own parent's could've gave them
i just hate how CPS top priority is to reunite families when their priority should be to keep children safe
TIME FOR LAWS AGAINST VIOLENT PARENTS SO THEY CAN NOT HARM THESE BABIES ANYMORE!
Wives get to escape the abusive life with husbands yet the kids have to still be sent back to replace the punching bag for the abusive parent.
I was a kid like this and you're right, we don't matter.i went to Foster care bc my father beat and raped me and the judge still made me and my brother go visit over night every other weekend
@@lizstone2923 I'm so sorry this happened to you no one Deserves that
@@lizstone2923 the laws in this country really need to be fixed. A man can rape a woman/girl and still he award parental rights to the child conceived by the rape. Not only does it further victimizes the mother, it puts the child in a position that they didn't ask nor deserve to be in.
Precisely my thought! I'm so lucky my ex isnt abusive! We have a daughter together too.. I'm so blessed and so sad for those who are in bad situations like this ..🥺 breaks my heart
I know right & that so so so sad & the system needs to change or the parents need to not give a fuck about contempt or what the courts say !! The children are most important & the courts need to finally see & realize this so thus finally stops happening !! It’s so sad for it to happen to even 1 child !!
The mother is numb and angry. She seems so drained and tired. I feel so heartbroken for her. The system let her and the beautiful daughter down. The judge needs to go and seek help.
Court judge should be in jail. Send both parents to get help but didnt check the results of both n found out father is over anger etc n they act fast proctecting of the child.
ME i sooooo agree with you... My blessings go out to her and her family... So heartbroken for them...
She was my BEST FRIEND. I miss her so much. She always used to face time me I miss her.. I LOST MY BEST FRIEND. Her dad loved her too. Which is weird, why would you do that Jeff? I miss Kayden playing with me and coming over sometimes even though we were long distance.
Need proof? Look through RUclips channels named “daily great reviews every day” and I made RUclips videos with her.
He said to my dad on text if they could come over before the scene happend... thank god my mom said no, she knew something was up. He probably would’ve killed me too.
Paris Girl Forever god damn girl.. I’m so sorry.. your mother is smart. Always trust your instincts, I’ll pray for you.
@@TobeEvans Thank you so much, your blessings are appreciated.
Would that judge allow his granddaughter unsupervised visits with a son-in-law like Kaiden’s father? I’d bet he’d use the long arm of the law and every ounce of his judicial power to prevent it.
They don't care many judges are psychos themselves
As far as Mancuso having represented himself in court yet still retaining visitation rights then that says it all
Right?!?! Hell no I'd it was his daughter or granddaughter we would've had a whole different outcome
You better believe it.
Someone once told me, “People only seem to notice bad things when they are happening to them” and that is so true. The judge got to go home, be with his family and live his life but Kayden.. she didn’t. If people could have empathy, & look past there own lives, to care for those who are in need, to want to help others and protect them as much as we can, the world would be in better shape and that baby would likely still be here. I always try to set aside my own life and pay attention to others especially those in need of help!
Too many judges have blood on their hands. The system protects them, it needs to to be changed.
Period
Most of them forget that “fair” is included in “fair and speedy trial”
That judge should be in JAIL. What a disgraceful display of “justice”.
If what the mother and stepfather said was true. I bet if you looked into that judge he went through something similar himself like a bad divorce or something. Or possibly a history b of siding with fathers over mothers. Which is odd cause usually the justice system very VERY heavily favors the woman. The thing that was wrong to me s that he orders them to be mentally evaluated then when the dad turns out to be worse than the mother he just ignored it. If the diagnosis had been flipped he probably would of given the father sole custody with only few supervised visits for the mother.
Down on the Upside Babies happen. It isn’t the mother’s fault that he became a sadistic murdering psychopath, or that the system failed her. He was responsible for his own mental health, and the court was responsible for ordering that child safe.
i agree. His biggest punishment will be her death on his hands and the media getting ahold of this sad sad story. So he'll suffer. He gets what he deserves...
Ak A
8:20 there will not be safety for kids, as long as so called child advocates say, that violent parents have unsupervised custody, because otherwise “we’d have lot’s more kids in foster care and lot’s more kids not seing their parent”. Exactly, guess what would have changed in Kayden’s case, if she had not seen her dad unsupervised? Yes, she would live!! It is the courts obligation to clarify contentious claims, not to ignore them and hope for the best - that’s not law! Neither is it lawful to count one lost life against many improved lives. That is against the most important human rights! And he calls himself a child advocate, shame on you Frank
Tanner dylan the court favoring dads is actually a a myth. In fact- only 4% of custody cases people end up going to court and in all of those its joint custody most of the time
“He was violent toward me but I never expected him to hurt her.” They will. They always will. Please protect the children.
Madeline Lopez that’s what I was thinking. I wish people would stop all this casual sex and having babies with people they barely know. Cause it seems the child pays the ultimate price.
Once a man raises his hand on a woman that should be the end of it all
Madeline Lopez right!
R D it. was. unplanned.
She did. She tried. The court system failed her. She did not fail her daughter.
My cousin killed himself & daughter two years ago in Ontario, Canada. Even though I can't still wrap my head around what he was thinking at the time, my heart aches for this Mother.
Blessings to you, their mother, and both families 💔
I'm so sorry you went through that 💔 Can I ask where in Ontario? That's where I live
I remember this story in the news didn't know the family personally but I was deeply saddened by the outcome my thoughts go out to the family and I pray her mother is doing okay 💔
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It sounds like the Judge was partial and even mocking. The evaluation that HE ordered said the FATHER had mental problems and should not be unsupervised with the child UNLESS he was in treatment. What did the judge do? Ignored that (obviously is a narcissist himself and couldnt deal with those psyche evals coming back unfavorable to the man he was favoring) and now this child is gone. He needs to be removed from his seat and charged with something. When are these Judges and other officials who screw things up this badly gonna be held to account? Enough is enough.
Hallelujah!!!!
When they have skin in the game--something they value and will lose if they screw up.
I felt he is a misogynist
patriarchy is ALIVE and WELL.
I agree 100 percent
This poor lady was all cried out. Her eyes told her story not her dried up tears. This lady is deeply saddened.
Medications can do that as well. I've seen her cry. She cries alot that little girl was so loved. Anyone who makes a judgement on this poor woman after she's been through so much is obviously sick in the head.
Medications doctors give you after such an event can dull your senses so you can function. I know this is what doctors have done for me. My son died 10 years ago as a baby and a year later his sister. Our only remaining child is dying of cancer. I see a woman who is so broken-hearted the tears just aren't there anymore.
@weatheredstorms......bless your heart !! My prayers are with you & your husband & family !! So much loss....I can’t imagine facing everyday with all you’ve faced & are facing ! May God bless you & help you get through all this & past it ! I will be praying 🙏 for you all ! So sad for you !! Love 💕
@Alex Jay you also have to remember they film these interviews a long time after the occurance and sometimes when you cry so much about something deeply heartbreaking you become numb to the feeling. Is a way of coping
Never judge another who’s shoes you do not wear. It may seem an old fashioned sentiment but if people would spend more time working on themselves and less on criticizing others the world would be a better place. My sympathy to all touched by this tragedy. 😢
This woman is so broken inside, how heartbreaking to witness. My heart goes out to her and her family. It's just not in the natural order of things for a Mama to have to bury her child.
You can absolutely tell the step dad had more love for her than her biological father. Sometimes, bloodline does not mean you have the right to be a parent. Another angel gone.
And tears doesn’t mean love, lots of people can fake tears and lots of people get fool like you. Not saying the step dad is faking the tears, but it doesn’t mean the mom doesn’t love her kid because she didn’t cry in front of the camera.
@@lissam956 Never said that she (the mother) never loved her child. I'm just stating the difference between the stepfather and the birth father.
Lissa M Wtf are you talking about?? She NEVER EVER said ANYTHING about the poor mother!!!! She spoke about the stepdad being more of a father then the real father who KILLED HER!!!🤦🏻♀️
People on here are treating and discussing this man as if he was normal. He wasn't. I believe he absolutely loved his daughter. He wanted to leave this world and take her with him. That's generally how murder suicide works. He was a selfish monster and all that was implied with that list of mental disorders. The stepfather loved that little girl as well but he was normal and able to be a human being about it. I'm obviously not defending the dad but to think that he didn't love his daughter is dangerous. He did what he did because he loved her and again, he wasn't normal.
Lissa M stfu
This has happened so many times...judges making ridiculous decisions.
Yes because they don't care about anyone
This reminds me of a line from "Law and Order"; he HATED his ex wife more than he Loved his daughter.
What a selfish SOB he was,
truly heartbreaking.
the stepdad saying "I just saw her lying there, my little girl" broke my heart.. He really loved that girl
Ikr.
DeAnna York Poor man :(
bruh it looks so fake
u can’t even see one tear when he was crying😂
@@rosadalok7145 go away 🤡
“Well he’s not hurting you” don’t you file a restraining order so they don’t hurt you
Perla Rodriguezzz seriously.. like you get a restraining order to prevent that. You don’t necessarily get it after the fact unless it was unexpected.
Yeah exactly
Cop: Listen lady, the only time we can help you is if your ex is literally over your body beating your skull in, until then, our hands are tied. Alright? Fagetaboutit."
Exactly
I just saw this, and while I don't have kids, I tried getting a restraining order against an ex. He and his wife (he was married and no one knew) threatened to kill me, stalked me, and harrassed me. Before that, he shoved me, mentally, emotionally, and physically abused me, and so much more that I don't remember but have proof of. I was told because most of the threats came online and through text, I wasn't at risk. Someone on my behalf went and told him if he touched me or reached out to me again, he'd be arrested (I have a second cousin who is a former state trooper, he would've made sure at least the state got him temporarily).
I would sit in jail to protect my kids. That judge has Kayden’s blood on his hands.
And this judge would jail the mother for contempt and place the child with the father. No winners here.
And who do you think would get custody while you're in jail?
@@DuckHouse1 you ever heard of going underground? My kids are grown but, there is NOTHING I wouldn’t resort to to protect them. And I mean anything!
@@sboyle536 not if they can’t find the child!
@@lgarner3663 the bottom line is that we live under a system run by and for men. People want to look at the situation after the fact and say they would have done things better, but none of the blame should be put on this mother. If she had a crystal ball would she have done things differently? Of course. But at the time she felt the best way to help her daughter was to work with the system.
I managed to get myself and my kids out safely. Maybe that's all that matters, but I still feel like there were no good options.
I give credit to the sister for having the courage to do the interview. They are all victims of this monster.
To kill her, he hit her in the head with a weight over and over. His seven year old daughter. This man didn’t need therapy.. he needed a mental hospital.
He need hell
He needed to be put down for being the rabid beast he was! Shame on the judge as well!!!!!!😡😪 RIP Kayden
@@SD-ts7eb and hell has him for eternity
Yea him and the judge as well!
He needs hell. Satan's got him. ! Thank you Jesus.
STEP DOWN JUDGE. This little girl would be alive if you would have listened to the mother. SHAME ON YOU.
G
Like he could predict the future. Raging custody battle says it all. People are so concerned about getting even with their ex, they don’t give a fuck about their kids.
@@mgal6234 he had multiple charges and arrests for violence. That information is available to the judge.
TheRiseofdaBeastGaming How do you know he didn’t believe her? He just said, “I don’t believe you?”
he gave access so in a way yeah he was saying he didn't believe her by his actions what do you call it
The bond wasn't strong if he took his daughter life that's just sickening to hear her say that 🤢🤮. Sad that little girl had to pay the price for something she had nothing to do with 😭 the justice system isn't ish!!
He flipped out after the mom remarried. He felt abandoned and was seeking control over the daughter. He killed that child as punishment for the mom moving on.
He’s a narcissist. There was never a bond in the first place
This was almost my story with my son. My ex was incredibly abusive to me, had a violent history, mental issues that he wasn’t seeking treatment for, and they gave him unsupervised visitation. My son has many medical issues including a bleeding disorder. We had called child services and police 3 times for leaving marks on my child, they did nothing. It wasn’t until he gave him a black eye that they finally did something. He missed half the supervised visits and eventually lost his rights to my child. My son has suffered so many years from what he had gone through from him. He won’t even open up in therapy.
Hang in there, momma. I went through the same. My Son is my world. Just love him, and be there for him. Wishing you and your son all the best ❤
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The mother is right. His rights were more important than the rights of Kayden or even her.
Yeah, criminals seem to have more rights than law abiding citizens.
@@vickieclark5931 That's a lie lol
Ayana Kai I know what a dumbass to think that privileged fuck.
Anna Schueller I see what your saying but the child’s well being should have been what he was worried about a man that bites off half of someone’s ear clearly needs help
So a child being killed is better than them not seeing their abusive parents ?!?! Set your priorities straight judges !!
The patriarchy and the ‘Old World Order’ prison system is insane...
Absolutely, foolish.
They don't care.
In most countries the focus is on the parents' right to see the child, not focus on what's best for the child.
I do for example really doubt that 7/7 is the best system for a child to grow up in, but it's "fair" for the parents.
Well said..that's so true
This is why I fought in court for my abusive ex husband to have supervised visitation. I'm thankful I finally got it.
As an aunt I would straight up kidnap my niece and nephew if I thought either of their parents was going to hurt them, like come find me and take me to jail I dare you
After my little brother died. My mother became numb like that. I’ve seen that look on my own mothers face. It took her years for her come alive again. I feel so sad for this family.
SR- I m sorry about your little brother.
I'm so sorry
I'm sorry about what happened :(
My prayers are there for your family, you and your lil brother in heaven ❤️
I’m so sorry. What happened to hima.
Do you have any advice for how someone who lost their first born child unexpectedly, can recover from the grief please?
The system failed another precious child AGAIN.....
Voice of Reason8071 Voice of Reason8071 How about just blaming the evil perpetrator, you know just for once!
Voice of Reason8071 Voice of Reason8071
Right. Whenever someone white commits a crime it it's never their fault. It's always the system, family, "mental illness", or some other bs excuse.
Donna Barnes her biological father failed her not the system
@Voice of Reason8071 Voice of Reason8071 racist much?
@Artanis the guy is dead, wtf do you want done? Stop bringing race into it
I sure hope the Judge lost his credentials, and sent to a psych eval to see why the hell he cared more for the abusive mans rights then the childs. Do give me "it's the law".
"The fact that I will never see her again: I hate it. I hate it. I don't even know how to go on with my life." 😭💔 Every day must be a living hell for this poor mother. I can't imagine the heartache. 😣
This is why I DEFIED court orders and REFUSED to send my girls to their dad’s. I fought the court relentlessly and won.
You do the right thing. 👍You are a great mom, if i may say so. I heard of a case in the town i live, with a judge that did the same thing and the poor mom lost her little boy, when her ex, who had been known to be violent, murdered him. So tragic; i cannot imagine the pain that mom went through, bacause of that terrible judge, as also, in this case. 😖😖
Glad they didn’t put you in jail like they have others. So happy for you. A job well done
Very brave and intelligent. I hope your girls turn out just like you.
Good for you. You HAVE to do the right thing for your children .
Bravo !
Title should actually be “Mom and Dad open up about tragic murder of their daughter by bio father”
He killed a child, he doesn’t deserve the title of Dad.
after what he did.. he doesnt deserve anything but a law suit coming his way to be honest..
actually it was father not dad
@Kim Kim..KAYDEN WAS NOT JUST A CHILD....KAYDEN WAS HIS BIOLOGICAL CHILD. RIP IN KAYDEN RIP
That's true 😭😔😔
@Gymnastics Girl that's even more accurate
Heartbreaking 💔 the stepdads cry when he says “my little girl” so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼
She was such a beautiful little girl. I pray her mom has peace and heals. I can not imagine losing my child. The idea of that makes me want to keep my life now as bad as it is.
My heart. That’s a STRONG woman. The “step” dad was her DAD. He loved that little girl as his own. Laws need to change to help out children.
He KILLLED HER THATS NOT HER REAL DAd listen
I agree..so heart breaking.. her life could of been spared... 😭
@@AllisonSandiford read the comment again and think about it more thoroughly before replying
In all honesty the step dads reaction seemed a little fabricated. Where were the tears? I have no doubt he was very saddened but it seems he wanted to prove it by forcing theatrical emotions rather than being honest about his real emotional state in that moment.
amen :/
Another child who dies under the hand of the system that is meant to protect them.
Joanna Rivas this is so sad
I used to work for CPS. Some of the most useless and awful people.
Tabitha parks that is the truth.
Yes...like like two little boys the social worker literally saw go up in a ball of flames 2 seconds after she gave them to the dad
the system didnt kill her, her psychotic father did.
Unemotional? This woman begged for help. Did all the legal steps... The Justice system failed this mother and daughter.The hopelessness and despair of cries and pleas for mercy were literally snuffed out. This woman went through every hell imaginable. Being numb is completely understandable.
Now I don't even know how grateful I am to have both my father and step father.. We don't realize how blessed we are until we see the stories of others. RIP Kayden
Amen
That judge needs to be charged for manslaughter. He deliberately gave access to the bio dad when both mom and dad had evaluations done, proving the bio dad had the issues and not the mom. He purposely put this girl in harms way and should be held accountable for it and have his rights as a judge taken away. This system is f’ed up in more ways than one.
@Kat deejay The child was terrified of him. The mom wasn’t being selfish. If her daughter said she was comfortable around him then the mom would have, reluctantly, allowed the biological father to see her. The child did not feel safe and died by the hands of the monster her mother tried to protect her from.
@Kat deejay lol what the heck are you? The kid didn’t feel safe around her own father, how the heck is the mom just gonna let her go to someone who acts like a stranger now. She was right wasnt she? The reason her daughter is dead rn is cause of the dad.
@Kat deejay another idiot in the internet has appeared
@Kat deejay - I hope you’re trolling. The only reason why this little girl is dead is BECAUSE this man was allowed access to her unsupervised. He bludgeoned his seven year old to death with a weight but you want to blame the mom, who was almost choked to death by this violent POS. You think it makes sense to allow a child around a monster who would viciously attack his own mother, the mother of his child, and countless others? Please seek help.
@Kat deejay Stop it! You are blaming that mom for someone elses choice! That is why he was able to do what he did, because he was allowed visitation. His own mother and sister said that he had no business having unsupervised visitation. That's not what made him dangerous! He had been dangerous all of his life! Stop blaming the women! Bottom line he not had unsupervised visitation...the little girl would be alive! PERIOD!! You need to reread the story!
That judge should be charged.
Angelia Gurner I think all judged would be charged
I agree with you. I really think this should be pushed. If a judge ignores a parents pleas, & it results in a murder. Judges should be charged with accessory to murder. Hey if it were you or me, WE would be charged. Why should a judge be above the law? I think judges across America would be more cautious.
Voice of Reason8071 Voice of Reason8071 stop being racist.
@UCPJejVhe540aciuTvdShm7A he had every hard fact he needed, he had his criminal record,he had his mental health evaluation results and still ordered unsupervised visits without further treatments,very very wrong.the system failed this little girl.
Hello Everyone only white people can be racist. Stay butthurt
Don't ask the mother why did she follow the court orders? Ask the judge why did he allow unsupervised visits. Way to add grief to an already grieving parent. I'm sure she would not have allowed the visit had she known he was that crazy. My heart goes out to the mother and stepdad and all family members and friends of this precious little girl.
I can’t imagine being so deeply in love with something with every vibration of your soul and then just having it ripped away from you I don’t know how I can survive that😭
I understand how she’s possibly feeling numb. 14 months ago, my mom took her life causing my dad to take his two days later leaving me, 16, to take care of my 8 year old nonverbal autistic brother. It’s like a feeling you can’t describe. I can’t even imagine losing a child. My brother is the reason I live today. so I can’t even grasp what it’s like to lose a daughter. God bless this woman.
My God, I am so sorry for you and your brother. I have a 4 year old non-verbal autistic son, and even as a grown adult, it is a difficult situation. As a child it must seem impossible. I hope you have support from family and friends and special needs professionals. I wish I could help you myself! Bless you and your brother sweetheart!
just me thank you! yes autism is extremely difficult. Good health to you and your son!
Wow. I’m so sorry to hear that. You have to be one amazing, strong, loving sibling to do this all yourself. Remain strong. Love and light. ✨
Dylan I’m so incredibly sorry. Please know that you’ll get through this. God wouldn’t give you this if he thought you couldn’t get through it ❤️❤️
Dylan this story broke my heart, and it’s not even a story it’s your truth, it’s your life. May Allah guide you to better days💕
Judge should be fired he needs another career this just ain’t it her blood is on his hands.
Can't agree with you more.
Ikr
Screw another career, he should be in prison for his role. He shouldn't be allowed to work anywhere
I would sign the petition for his removal in an INSTANT and honestly I would also have him put on trial for negligence because honestly his INACTION was just as much to blame for the little girl's murder as the father was.
Yeah
As a mother myself this is heartbreaking beyond measure. I wish to giv this mom my condolences and tell her that she will reunite with her lovely daughter but not in physical form but in energy and everything will be harmonius again. If can find forgiveness, which is a personal choice of course, then may transform this horrifying experience into hope for other parents in same situation as well as a personal trascendant lesson. God bless her.
What a beautifully-written comment!❤
Her dad reminds me so much of my bio dad, I’m so glad my mom worked hard to keep us safe with her.
Any Judge protecting abusive parents should "Step Down" or be "Fired"!
Often it is not just our broken system, but family members that stand in the way. My father threatened us for years after the divorce. I spent my teen years helping support my five siblings and looking over my shoulder constantly. He went on to marry another woman, and abused her and their three children. His family supposedly stepped up and took custody, allowing him to take the children from their home anytime. It is sad and sickening that courts are not more in tune with mental health issues today. I did learn a lesson on my job, years later, and would quote it to every battered or abused woman I came across: You never divorce the same person you married. Any thing you thought about them before, dump those ideas.
The judge is a corrupted mother...., ..r, he probably was bought. Get the fu** out assf***
Nah Suzie he should be in trial
@Psalm 139 There's tons of violent mothers out there too you know.
@Psalm 139 There's been plenty of female judges who side with the mother because they are mothers too, and can sympathize with their "motherly instincts". It's no coincidence that women win nearly all custody battles.
When Brian started crying and saying when he turned the corner and found her dead i started crying....
Edit: HOW DA HELL MY STUPID ASS COMMENT GET THIS MANY LIKES
INDIA Brian is the real dad, her biological dad was not her dad at all.
seemed faked to me
Limeade L ohhh I get it now i had to rewatch
The stepdad looks like he forced those tears. The mom didn’t cry? The sister/aunt cried!🤔I don’t know if I believe his story!
S P you know how many times they have cried before? this thing is so horrible, that you wouldn’t even probably know how to react. You can see the pain in their eyes clearly.
This mom is so strong!! I’m going through something so similar and IM TERRIFIED!
Taylor be encouraged. Praying for you. I hope you and your family 👪 🙏 make a solid decision. God's protection over you and your child (children). Min Charlotte Gadson
My mom put up a 3 year fight with my bio dad for supervised visitation with my bio dad when I was 11 and I’m forever grateful. I was and still am scared of him. We had supervised visitation with family members on his side for a few hours every other weekend.
His own SISTER saying not one person in his family could swear on a bible and say he’s a good father I was like dammmmmnnn son
That sure says it all. 👵
word nigga ???
She said "And I wish he rot in hell"
@@saad4447 what?
Dont say that
Grief is much more complicated than tears being shed. My dad passed away in 2000, and my mom in 2008, and no one saw me cry. Don't be so quick to judge.
5 pounds of Possum I know the feeling. I find it far easier to cry for other people’s hurt than my own
I agree. My cousin passed away and I didn't cry until AFTER everything was done. It just hit me later than everyone else 🤷🏿
@@dootdoot4057 grow up!
Agreed. My mom was in the hospital for a week before she passed away. I didnt cry until i saw her slip away. And even then it was for only a min. Everyone was falling apart,i had to stay strong and take care of things so my father and brother didnt have to.
@@yayaf28 sorry to hear that. It's fake news though
Family is formed by bonds not just because your related so her step dad truly was her dad because he loves her so much and treated her like his own they are all so strong and rest in peace little angel
This was an easily unavoidable tragedy. The judges in these type of cases should be held responsible for their reckless decisions! My heart breaks for her mother and step father, he seemed like a much better father then her so called real dad. The way he cried and called her “my little girl” 💔 I hope this family can find some peace and I wish them all the best. ✌🏾❤️
Bit off a man's ear? Dude is pulling a Mike Tyson. He was definitely crazy
Jason Juneau ahh yes, let’s let this man have a child. Perfectly safe.
Suarez
Looks like sounds like roidrage anyways I say give mom five minutes alone with this guy and we could save a lot of tax money so sorry for this loss how does this happen
Jason Juneau or a Jeffery Dahmer. I’m sure he ate a few ears
Mike Tyson has custody of his kids
He should have NEVER had any visitation. Period. He was a danger to society.
Yes. The laws need to change.. if you are a danger to adults, you are a danger to children
The issue is that lots of women pretend and accuse dads of untrue things, using their children as pawns. So its so difficult to see the real cases and protect the real victims. Riep sweet baby girl xxx
This story breaks my heart.
The court system let this little girl down.
There are very many similar cases like this one where the court claims the decision is in the child's best interest and later death happens in the hands of a mentally ill parent.
Heartbroken 💔 that this even happened! That judge should absolutely be held accountable for this senseless murder of a child !
Saying this mom is unemotional is not true. She literally has no tears left to cry. It is possible to run out of years and this mother clearly did. Sending. My prayers go out to this family.
No it isn't unless youre severely dehydrated or your tear ducts are clogged. This is what is systemically wrong with the U.S. . People are convinced by affluenza & appearances and do not look at or judge the big picture and the roles each person played. This women drove her unstable husband to desperation in her attempt to recreate her fairytale world with a new man and forgetting the rights and needs of the little girl and her real daddy. I see mom as a culpable villain here too that did not make decisions on what was best for her daughter or she would not have tried to "replace" daddy and pretend its a real family. I assure you, she violated her child by forcing her & everyone into an unnatural situation. This divorce and step-parent situation is creating these nightmares for everyone everywhere & its the children who suffer unless we can find a way to really snatch them out of the fire & let the birth parents suffer their own tragedies instead of hoisting the consequences upon the children. .
It's Just Renee` getting a divorce isn’t justification for MURDERING YOUR OWN DAUGHTER. Sometimes a divorce is the best option. Yes they didn’t go about it in the right way but that man is severely f****d up and if they had stayed together it might have ended up in worse circumstances.
@@jessicavanderross4059 She was a massive part of driving him to his state of desperation. People should take heed before they go about to just try to throw people away, take their children and turn them into someone elses child. These things happen when you mess with people lives like that. I don't believe divorced parents should remarry until the children are grown. It's cruel & selfish to the children and the other parent.
It's Just Renee` What the hell is wrong with you?
@@bookcreator Whats wrong with you? Stuck in fairytale world where everyone gets a 2nd go at "happily ever after" at the ex's and childrens expense? That system is going to end because it is destroying everyone. I promote laws where if parents get divorced it will be illegal to remarry or live with another mate until the children are 18 years old and that no child shall ever be forced to leave their home for any visitation. Only one parent can be named as custodial parent and the other one can work and both parents shall raise the children and if not, go to jail until the child is 18. Let the parents suffer instead of the children. The system we have now absolutely destroys children, violates their human rights and is cruel and unusual. I'm saying both parents are culpable when they try to go about life as though the real parent didn't exist. People aren't trash you can just disgard and then move along. She had a significant role in creating the situation that drove this man to desperation.
The judge should be in prison right now
I agree with you 100%!!
Yes!
Happened to my oldest daughter I sent her a few times until he had an explosive episode while she was in his care. After that I never sent her again and he finally got the clue I wouldn’t let her go there without a fight. We’ve been free of him for 3 years now and my baby has absolutely no memory of him. She has a daddy that’s loved her and raised her since she was 1 and he’s all she needs
The family court system needs to be exposed. They can’t see real cases like this bc of what kind of system they set up
Sadly this has happened to a lot of other children since this video was made. Children are victims all too often in family court cases. It is always heartbreaking.
I can't even imagine the rage she has to feel every day, that her daughter would be alive if she was only taken seriously. I don't know how she keeps going, I really don't know how you deal with that much anger and grief. One strong lady.
When you lose a child you want justice!!!! That's how.
So true
@@Sailormoonfan88 its really not that simple but ok
@@flawlessodette9753 If My brother in law killed any of his children or all 3 of them, I would do whatever it took to be there for my sister to help her get justice!!! Remind her everyday of her children who are alive and blessed to be so or that she still has family who love her very much. Maybe she knows her daughter wouldn't want her mother to just give up on life and be angry all the time. Plus it's not healthy for you to hold grudges and be angry all the time you have to forgive at sometime. Like it says in the bible when you forgive the ones that have hurt you God forgives them.
I dont think i could do it
I just don’t understand how a parent can kill their own kid?! The judge is at fault here for failing this beautiful lil girl! So heartbreaking
Sick!!
Psychopath he was that is how
It's a control issue. He wanted to dictate how everything should go (his way) and this was basically his final "eff you because the mom dared to leave him.
Familicide. If you or anyone wants to research it more.
I can’t believe ANY human could kill ANY child
Rip kayden! I hope your tragic story helps many other kids and families. You are loved and missed by not only your family but many people who never even got the chance to meet you. My prayers are with the family
I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I know your struggle. Not the forever loss of your beautiful baby girl, but the struggle to get help for your child (in my case children) when it comes to an abusive dad. The court system needs to change. I am so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤
How the hell did this man ever get away with that many arrests and still be allowed any contact with a defenseless child?
Why would the judge be so freaking stupid! Now that poor little girl is DEAD because of him!
Sheila Quinto right . 🙄💔💔💔
It’s so fucked up but unfortunately it’s still very common for judges to give custody to violent, abusive and drug using parents. It’s disgusting! So many children have died because of this and each time it happens nothing changes and the cycle continues. Innocent children getting abused and killed because our court system is all fucked up.
White and a man.
Well they shuldn't say that, in this case the killer and the judge were both white men.
Well that not the problem the problem is he put her unsupervised with a person suffering a severe mental disorder and went against the recommendation of the people who evaluated him. Like he should go to jail cause that's not a mistake anyone can make that's just plain stupid
You know it was bad if his family has no excuses for him!
His own sister said she can never forgive this and she hopes he rots in hell. Meanwhile Chris Watts family is all like " we love you son. And we forgive you. And we re here for you" Smdh.
Same thing is was thinking.just so sad. Smh
@@AmazinGraceXOXO1 and all those loving words in front of Shannans's family, in court. Disgusting.
He was mentally ill.
AmazinGraceXOXO1 Chris Watts Family are all sick too
So sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine your pain. She was so precious..🙏🙏🙏😔
NO NO NO how tragic. What a beautiful little girl. Stay strong mum.
At the point of this recording, this mother had been grieving 24 hours a day for a month straight. How dare anyone judge her by the few short minutes of her talking without tears. There are 23 hours and 55 minutes left in just this 1 day that you don't see her. There are different stages of grief that hit you, in no apparent order, over and over, and I know all too well that occasionally you enter a numb period where you feel like a shell of a person. Your mind and heart giving you what you need to continue to push on...a small reprieve. To judge her based off this video is horrific and I hope she never reads those comments.
allison currie yeah she’s probably already cried allot. I’d rather see her not cry then have something like at 6:52 when the step dad was fake crying. Who cries and no tears comes out? No one.
I agree, no one knows how many nights and days this woman has spent crying her eyes out! Right now she is justifiably angry at the f***** up system and the judge that failed her daughter!
Facts.
@allison Currie Agree!
@@PastorJustinWade actually that happens a lot. Also he is a man, trained not to cry for his entire life because of gender rolls and this kinda mixes in here
The fact that Brian had to find her is absolutely heartbreaking
What happened? How did he find her and how did the real father kill her and himself?
@@casitube22 He didn't bring her home when he was supposed to so the stepfather went looking for her. He had beaten her over the head with some weights, put a plastic bag over her head and then killed himself. The stepfather found her body.
@@shell6927 OMG how can a father do that? He seemed to have a good relationship with her. She always looks so happy in pics with him. Usually when a parent kills a child then themselves,they try to make it as painless as possible like a gunshot but in this instance she felt pain unless he was able to knock her out with the first blow but still she was old enough to know something wasn't right with her dad. I can't believe the poor stepdad had to find her. Do you know why the mother didn't go looking for her? I tried finding a more detailed story on here but I didn't find anything.
@@casitube22 This one gives most of the details and I can't answer your question as to why... some people are just evil :(

@@shell6927 Thankyou
Thank you for sharing this story. A lot of us parents are stuck in this battle; having to obey the law or protect their child. The system has definitely favored the rights of the parents over the rights of the child. This needs to change. Follow your gut parents and keep fighting for your kids to prevent this from occurring to your own child. This gave me the push I needed to follow my intuition and protect my child at all cost.
Meeting someone so quickly and getting together can be quite chaotic and at times disastrous!!! I had such poor judgement and it could have cost my life ! So sad for this little girl! You must go on to help others!!
The judge actually failed this child twice
Jackie Sable definitely more than 2 even
@Leo Dancor who should decide those things then? 😂
Andrew Gabriel Yo, dummy definitely not a judge that doesn't know the family/child or what the situation is. The parents should decide and if one of the parents is not fit to, the parent that is fit should be able to. And if neither parent is, then the grandparents should, but it should be someone that knows the child well and one that the child trusts, so that person can inform the judge and give a story as to the situation so then the judge can make a sound, reasonable, beneficial choice for the child, so this tragedy doesn't ever happen. I have had an experience like this but no murder, with my sister, her ex husband and my nephew and if the judge would have only talked to my nephew and what parent he wanted to be with and trust the most, my nephew wouldn't have been living in squalor and abuse for years. But because the judge "thought" he knew best for my nephew, he put him into abuse and if the judge got off his high horse and listened for once my nephew could have been living with the parent that cherished him and cared for him. Instead he was put with the parent who only used him to get child support money for themselves and to use him for manipulation on others. Sorry not to be a jerk or have a long comment, I just wanted to get a point across and educate.
Jackie Sable I hope the judge gets removed from the bench
@@thombreJ1485 did your nephew go to the mother or the father?
“Well he’s not hurting you “ this is the problem they wait till someone gets hurt... how pathetic they are if it was them they would’ve made sure something would’ve been done to keep who ever away the judge is disgusting for allowing someone who has a violent history be around an innocent child.
Yes this is what they said in my case too. My spouse beat me so they said it has no bearing on the children. 10 months after the separation when the children were old enough to speak for themselves they told us all that my spouse was doing. The bastard got away with it because the children weren't old enough to speak for themselves on the witness stand so it was my word against my spouse's word, according to the law anyway. The ex-spouse is free to this day but my children are grown now and surviving. And sadly, the spouse beater pedophile did not have their reputation ruined.
Person Incognito I’m sorry you had to go through that . It’s sad because just because the physical abuse isn’t happening to the children directly they are around that environment so mentally it affects them. But they don’t realize it when it’s said and maybe it’s because some people men and women lie about abuse but i still feel they should take every case serious , because you never know
Audrey Corona I agree, how are these people that make these calls living with themselves? What if the persons first act of violence is murder and not just “hurting” them
Judges need to be held responsible when their judgements result in someone’s death.
I had a judge grant an emergency restraining order only to have the next judge dismiss it as frivolous after my ex husband threatened to have me shot. Very scary and I had to go back to the monster for two more years after he found out where I lived and the law did not ever protect me.
Mother : has anxiety
father : has major depression, npd, aspd
Judge : this is equally severe and u both need help
??! Fire him
Doesnt mean anything idiot.
Every man having been convicted and then 'tested' automatically get those pinned on them.
Oddly, women never do.
Yeah, the mother was right to have anxiety seeing as the girl's dad was a dangerous narcissistic psychopath.
Lia Dors Idiot, moron judge! Guilty as hell..
StofStuiver and what’s the problem here? He got the child and killed her so I guess his evaluation is bologna, you’re right.
@@ilovemana143 What an incredibly dumb comment.
The problem is; if you automatically attach disorders to people (men) when they are convicted of a crime, it doesnt mean anything. It is a testimony to how awfull diagnostics are in the psychological realm. Heck i could expand by pointing at various 'tests' and how flawed they are, but if it doesnt mean anything to you that an entire category of people AUTOMATICALLY get these disorders, then thats not going to help you understand anything.
And if you do that automatically, you are going to be wrong a whole lot of times. And that then means there is no understanding of what brought someone to something.
And that then means you are not contributing at all in preventing such things...
The reason for that is sheer political. Because the entire sector is left idiots, which by definition party with women, opposing men.
The fact he killed his daughter, doesnt prove it right, you utter idiot. On the contrary, these cases are hardly ever men that are narcissistic or anti social.
The system failed that poor innocent child. They need to care about these things.
It happens everyday. Its so heartbreaking.
Shew. This brought shivers to my spine. Very same thing happened to me. Where the judge believed the bully and not all my witnesses. I left feeling broken and abused all over again. Except my girls are still alive. Because we hid away. I hope that THE meeting goes well. Be blessed. Niki. South Africa.
I understand everyone handles grief differently. The poor mom was probably numb and overwhelmed by the loss of her daughter. However, When the stepdad was crying and she showed absolutely no emotion in that moment, I was stunned. She did not reach out to him or anything. Still, I am so sorry for their loss and the senseless actions of the father.
The mother seems undeniably fed up . She’s suffering in silence 😭
Not as much as dad was.
Unfortunately through the slight smile she will never be at peace until the day she close her eyes. A mom that loses a child. There is no other pain like it. Because you were responsible for that life coming into the world
“It’s not uncommon that people with records of violence have unsupervised visits.” UMMMMMMMMMMM WHAAAT?!??!
POPCORNBUTTER It sounds bad, but it’s true. A lot of people have gotten into bar fights or minor scuffles with people in their youth and then grow up and become parents. More people have records than you would think at first. This case isn’t about that though. This man had more than just a minor scuffle.
Look around you...they want to hurt humans, not help them.
POPCORNBUTTER I said the same thing. So, does that mean that countless children have to pay the price? He made that statement like it was no big deal at all. These family laws and policies need to change for better protection of children and the abused.
Any judge who have a right mind would not award any abusive parent unsupervised visit especially if they have a criminal record because that's exactly what happened a stupid spineless judge I'm more than someone with a criminal record and little issues unsupervised visits and then look what happened

Bless you. She's absolutely beautiful. I stand by you in encouraging change. When we take justice out of the criminal justice system, then we only have a criminal system that works for criminals. Rehabilitation and evaluation requirements for all individuals who perpetrate violence. We can't sit and watch and do nothing anymore. Women and children should feel safe. Enough is enough. I am so sorry for your loss. She is a beautiful person and soul. My heart bleeds for you.
Now I understand why a female friend of mine went against the court and disappeared with her children for years.
This judge need's to be removed permanently !!!!!✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
How do you kill your own child ? Like HOW?!
LaTavia Washington jealousy makes you do stupid shit
Its called Fallicide,Parricide
Ill never understand that either. I have two beautiful kids and I die when they’re sick, I die when they get hurt. How can someone just kill their kids :(
He killed himself too so it was easy. He wanted to kill himself and get revenge on his ex too.
LaTavia Washington also having antisocial and narcissistic PD (as suggested by the health professional) allows for ppl wired differently to do unthinkable things such as these.
Rest in Peace, beautiful baby girl!
I'm a single mom myself after I made the ultimate decision to raise my son on my own (without my abusive ex's help) when I decided to leave him at 5 months pregnant. He has zero rights or custody. He would have harmed him too because he has a short temper. I changed my phone number and I have a Ring outside my home to make sure he doesn't come by or he will get what's coming for him
So much grief in this thread. My heart weeps for all of you.
