Do you think Julissa is guilty? Also, what are your thoughts on the new camera angles, I can’t decide. Yay or nay? ❤
I like one camera angle it keeps focus on the story, that's me personally
I think the new camera angles are cool. Adds some depth to the video. When it first happened, I was like “whoa, that was different!”
Yay
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 💯 ❤
I agree, not fond of the multiple angles. I’m thankful for any video from Annie but the back and forth is a bit distracting.
How the f*ck does this woman keep getting her kid back?! She’s a monster. This is truly disgusting and heartbreaking
A judge decides that.
Law favors bio mom :(
Now the judge needs to be charged
@@jadedoe9966 yesssss!
How was she able to go home after they found that slaughterhouse of a car she was in?
I was one of the kids that was forced back into an abusive biological family situation after Virginia passed their “Family Reunification Act”. If I had stayed with my foster family (they hadn’t capped the amount of time before this, so I spent 3 years with the same foster family), my life wouldn’t have been so filled with threats and violence. Not to mention the drug use.
I was lucky. I was 14 when I was shunted back to live with monsters. I was old enough to recognise evil, and to try and fight back against it. My physical body survived. My mind, however... I’m still trying to put it back together.
This whole BS of “we have to keep the children with their biological families, they do better with their biological families” don’t take into account that there’s some women who have been given the title of “mother” purely because Mother Nature made the mistake of giving them a functional uterus.
🙏🏻🕊✝️🌸♥️
Oh no, I'm so sorry... I just wish these non-mothers had the sense to terminate all their parental rights and let the precious foster families adopt. From my indirect experience with fostering, that would have been the BEST scenario. I'm literally feeling physically ill from this story above all the ones 10 to Life has covered, this one frustrates the daylights out of me and makes me want to DO SOMETHING. I wish your story could've been different. I wish we as communities could pull together and make changes, and not just allow this crap to happen over and over, under the guise of CHILD PROTECTION Services.
🙏❤️
I am so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story!
Hell yeah!
My god!! Literally, EVERYONE failed this child. Police, child protective services, therapists, and the judge should all be held accountable. This is heartbreaking.
The judge should loose his job.
Idk when ppl will realize CPS is corrupt. They traffic children. Theyre the largest trafficking ring in America. Judges and case workers get bonuses for removing kids permanently from the home.... I know, I was a case worker.... every good judge that looks into it ends up dead... research cps corruption... educate urself.
Exactly, but they won't be unfortunately
Absolutely true, it's just that woman. It is the system who need to take the blame. Something drastic has to change or else there is nothing stopping from such cases happening again
Everyone? What about his father? He wanted to take his responsibility towards his son. The system failed the poor child and the father.
Eli’s step mom is amazing! Her poise and the depth of her words…that was intense. She did a phenomenal job of painting a picture of what a beautiful little boy Eli was and also how destroyed their lives are from Julisa’s horrific acts. I found that to be incredibly moving.
it is normally the step mom esp that is cruel to there step kids
@@slinkiegirl2001that’s false
The stepmom's speech made me cry. You can feel her pain and love for Eli.
Yes, that impact statement tore into my soul. So heartbreaking. This little boy's murder was the cruel eat evil. I'm on the fence about the death penalty but the woman that murdered Eli I think deserves it if there's anyone who does. I'm sure she'll find some way to enjoy prison, to rule over her own little world behind bars in which she feels like she's the center of attention and that's all that matters to her, on top of being fed and housed on the taxpayers dime. I doubt she will ever feel a shred of true remorse and so I don't think prison is enough punishment for what she did. To so brutally destroy and steal away the life of her own tiny, vulnerable child. Makes me want to vomit.
I'm 63 & raising my 7 yr. old grandson, he brings great joy to my life, as any child should bring to their family. This woman & what she did to Eli sickens me to no end, I hope she finds the torment she deserves every day for the rest of her pathetic life.
I'm blessed to be a mother and grandmother it brings me so much joy
So hard to comprehend when you look into the face of a sweet innocent child!! For her to look at him and be able to take his life?? I'll never understand!!
I raised my grandson who is now 20 and it was a blessing to have him.
He’s blessed to have you and I’m sure you feel the same. These beautiful precious children. God will take care of her.
I agree I pray she suffers as Eli did, it is the most unfathomable and unforgivable thing in the world to me to harm a child. Also just want to say how much admiration and respect I have for you for stepping in to care for that young boy. I know I would do the same for my children’s kids. Children are a blessing, innocent and full of warmth and I’m so pleased he clearly has someone with compassion and love looking out for him. Sending you and your family prayers and good health. 🙏🏼
When you look at your own children after hearing these cases, it hurts to know someone else's child never experienced that love💔
THIS 💔💔💔
So true. I can't wait to hug my little guy when I pick him up this afternoon 😢
So true. I cherish every SECOND I get with my kiddo. Can’t imagine not loving my kiddo.
I want to go get my 5 & 6 year old boys from school right now and hug them so tight. You said it so right.
So true!! I'm going to hug my kids right when they get home from school
What really pisses me off is hearing how Eli would act infront of the cps worker while his mom was there and didn't think that was enough to keep him away from her. He would constantly hide from her during their visits and would wet himself too. I cannot imagine the terror he was feeling knowing his mom is pure evil
This is exactly why judges need to stop favoring the mother. Genuinely look into who would be better. (In some cases it’s neither parent)
The poor father just wanted to love his son and the system cruel rip both child and parent away. The system rather let the child be abused than be taken care of
I absolutely sobbed during the speech from Eli's step-mom. Why in the world was the mother ever granted custody when these people were amazing and loved him so wholly???
She was Eli’s true mom. The love in her voice for him. He would have had a great life if his dad and his stepmom (TrueMom) and his father had gotten him. 😢
Unfortunately, this is quite common. It is so hard for fathers and stepmothers to get custody even when it’s blatantly clear that the mother is unstable and or abusive. I’ve experienced it personally with my step son. Thankfully we finally gathered enough proof and the judge thankfully had common sense and saw through her many manipulation tactics but it was a fight that went on for almost 2 years before we finally got full custody of him.
Maybe because love is not what CPS cares about. They care about the law, not love.
Exactly! You could see all the love and smiles and everything in any photos and just how happy his dad was to have his son with him but they chose a monster over him. I don't get it
I was crying, too. 😢
As an x social worker there were many times I felt the child should not be returned to them; however the court sees the rights of abusive adults as more important than those of innocent children. It was infuriating to say the least.
Bless you. It definitely takes a special type of person to be a social worker.
My sister is a former social worker for the same reason. She felt helpless in her job to try and save/help children.
But did your reports sound like theirs, I highly doubt it.
No the courts always gives the child back to the woman.
You can't go below 16 inches on a shotgun
Oh man the stepmothers impact statement has me crying like a baby.
grow up
This story absolutely broke my heart. My son was murdered by his uncle and grandparents.
He was only 8 years old.😔 And I’m still fighting for justice for my son. This case really messed me up.
R.I.P My Baby boy Kayden👼🏼
R.I.P Lil Eli 👼🏻
God will take care of you boys
so sorry your son was taken from you so brutally. 😢
@@annadyrda7220 I appreciate it.😔
If you pray please say one for my son.
Kayden Phillips.
@@time4u2losethe-take-over25mother to mother, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child, especially so young and because of the heinous actions of others. I hope you are doing okay, considering the circumstances. I will be including Kayden and you in my prayers tonight. God bless ❤
@@justkim9827 I’m his Father and I really appreciate that so much. I still see my son in that casket. My baby boy birthday was yesterday. He would have turn 11 years old. 🥹😔💔
I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. I can't even begin to imagine your pain. I pray you get justice for you and your son. May God continue to grant you the strength to get through each day.
😢🙏
So heartbreaking. I was in tears listening to his stepmother talk about Eli. CPS...is a failure...the lazy, lame, uneducated. We need a higher level of people in CPS. Yup I said it.
Nope just need just honest and caring people.
The court gave him back.
The judge determines who gets their kids back. I worked there for 10 years and the judge would override our decisions.
@@deannarounds3295 very seldom does happen. Judges and CPS and attorneys are all just evil as the next.
My stepdaughters were being abused by their mother (a nurse) and her boyfriend (a pediatric neurologist). CPS closed the cases every time without even talking to the mom or boyfriend due to their careers. Even with photos of bruises and the girls being old enough to describe exactly what was happening. We have full custody of them now but it took us 3 years and we had to use a lawyer. CPS was worthless.
The most comforting thing to me, when my son passed away, was that we don’t fully understand time. There’s a planet that if we were standing on it looking at earth, right now, you would see dinosaurs. Time is a complete mystery. Eli is out there playing somewhere, my little boy too.💛
This literally brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss but I agree with you and if it's true then I bet my little brother is playing with them too 🤗❤️🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you have been through. As a mom, this brought me to tears. Sending you love. 💜
Kait, I am so sorry for your loss.
@Petty Kitty😼 and Kait: My little sister will be forever 15 - your kiddos have an amazing girl with them, and I know she's holding the babies taken too soon and showering them with love🩷
Well worth reading Slaughterhouse Five if you haven’t already. It has a wonderful description of a human explaining our perception of time to aliens.
And I am so sorry for your loss, I’m not a mother but even the thought of losing my pets is devastating, I can’t comprehend the pain of losing your child 💔
I hope the dad sues the judge…. This makes NO sense. How does she have so much negative things brought up about her care taking and they STILL pick her over the father for custody. I’m furious for the family😥😥
The judges go with the recommend actions of Cps ..
Judges are immune from lawsuits from their judgment.
💯
@@lyndawadsworth8572The judge still had knowledge of all of the facts and still made that judgment.
Eli’s stepmom speaking at court made tears roll down my face. How eloquent… so well articulated… I felt her and Eli’s pain and unconditional love for their son. Heartbreaking and just so unnecessary.
Thank you for covering this case.
Eta: There was a similar case of this happening where a father was fighting for custody of his child and the mom and her boyfriend abused a little girl so badly that she ended up dying. It happened a few years back in Euclid, Ohio. I remember it specifically, and my heart hurt for the little girl’s father. He seemed like such a good man too. Tragic that these things happen so often. I don’t understand it.
Your username is racist af
Imo thats his mother... his real mother... the human that birthed him was not his mother she was just the person who gave birth to him... and thank God he got to feel a mother's love in his short life. I'm I'm thankful to his MOTHER.
My heart goes out to Eli’s dad. This is so heartbreaking! I called CPS on my ex and they only took a report. He said nothing was going on and they took his word for it. CPS is a joke!
I always have to brace myself for stories where a child is the victim 😢
Me too. They’re never easy
Me too, sometimes I can't do it.
Me too. I worked for a Family Law Attorney and I’ve heard some nightmare abuse stories. Burned out after five years.
Policies are definitely for the parents! I work in the field and let me tell you, parent attorneys run the show
I really wish I could do a tell all book on the system
Annie, you're absolutely right, I got my children. Took away almost 5 years ago from CPS and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. It made me see that I needed to change myself. I was an addict. I worked hard and changed my whole life, people, places and things and I have been sober. I'm happy to say for 4 years July 21st. My children are healthy, happy and I have had full custody back for 3 years now. Some parents to change some are cruel and don't deserve to have children.
Congratulations, Sam! That is wonderful. 😊 I hope you feel the pure love that only children can bring. well done.
Proud of you!
I live in Minnesota and I remember when this happened. Such a sad and tragic story. RIP Eli, I'm so sorry that your Mom did that to you. Thank you for sharing his story!
The lack of accountability taken by those who made the blatantly, obviously idiotic, wrong decision to give this child back to that woman, is incredible.
Most likely it's the higher ups and or courts/judges. They clearly have the final say....SOOOOO "EFFFF" THEM😡😤😡
It's not that they favor the mother. They favor the parent the child has been with the longest no matter how that came to be and no matter what the circumstances are. Fighting it myself and I am a woman and he is an abusive POS who physically and emotionally abuse our children but because he established custody by illegal, and underhanded ways employing purgery among other tactics....well possession is 9/10's of the law. Who ever has them will keep them.......until you can get a miracle. Drugs, abuse, the kids statements, doctors, teachers, recordings, pictures the kids being removed over and over and then returned.......none of it matters and the parents who are fighting FOR their kids are deemed the problem. A lot of us who go through this end up taking our own lives..... We live in constant fear and pain and heartbreak. We live knowing that any moment the other parent could snap and do something like this and NO ONE WILL LISTEN TO US. Not until it's too late and we are on episodes like this talking about the could have, should have, would haves that everyone should have done. Getting absolutely no comfort from the comments saying how insane it is for it to get this far and yet.........
The dad and step mom’s statement absolutely broke my heart. Rest easy sweet boy:(
My best friend and his family are going through something similar due to DFS not taking Noah Cuatro out of his abusive household when they were supposed to. This case starts in April. Justice for Noah.
Good luck, I hope you get justice for little Noah
I hope there is justice for Noah I'm praying he is protected and not put into any harm's way!!!
This is one of the reasons some parents "kidnap" their children. To save them from the other parent.
My hubby and I struggle with fertility and are standing in line for IVF after 6 years of trying... How we would have loved this boy😭
Rest in Peace and I wish healing for his family who loved him💔
The step-mother’s victim impact statement was the most beautiful and heartbreaking I’ve ever heard.
The saddest part is that Eli had a bio parent that wanted him. That child protection insisted on returning him to his mother is repulsive. She is a monster and life in prison is not enough. Thoughts and prayers to all who loved Eli. RIP little angel.
Absolutely heartbreaking 🥺😔 I wish his dad had him instead of that mutant of a monster. She deserved the DP.
Exactly!! I fully understand not wanting to separate a child from their biological parents. However, when the parents are separated, and you have one parent, who is perfectly capable, willing, and able to take care of that child, it shouldn’t even be a second thought.
It’d be like a emergency response dispatcher telling you to return the your friend who is covered in 2nd degree burns to the burning house because only firefighters can save your friend and put him in an ambulance…
the system is rigged against men
@@troybaxterI like turtles
Applause to you Annie!! You've been giving us new, important, content almost, daily! While taking care of your own son...just wow! You're such a genuine, sweet, caring soul. Tysm for your hard work covering these hard cases & bringing voices to these innocent victims! Props to you!!! Best wishes & all my love!
Of all the cases you've covered this one just ripped my heart out. I can't believe how evil of a human Eli's mother is. May she rot in prison or better yet hell. I hope she gets hers.
Eli - rest in peace sweet boy. You didn't deserve to feel this pain and to be taken so soon.
This happened in my town. It's so tragic 😭 I wondered if it would ever get covered by anyone in the true crime community because our town is such a small place.
Thank you for covering Eli's case. CPS in this country is failing children like this every day! We desperately need changes!!
I agree. Cps failed Eli. A quick background check should be enough to show that she wasn't fit to take care of him.
I've never seen a defense attorney so ashamed of their own client
Parental reunification in my opinion should only happen if the parent shows continuous effort to stay clean, address their mental health, attend parenting classes and pass home inspections. I say this as an adoptive mom who went through all the above to be able to adopt my son. Having seen the CPS system from the inside, it is severely understaffed, underfunded and not nearly diligent enough watching parents who have had their children removed for good cause. Cases like this break my heart especially when there is a good father begging to get custody of his son who he knows is in danger!
Absolutely heartbreaking case. I have an almost 2 year old son named Eli and currently planning his birthday party so it’s definitely hitting heavy on my heart. Horrific to hear what happened to this poor baby boy. He deserved all the love this world had to give.
Oh man me too… I have a 10 yr old Eli and it’s so hard just to hear his name in a story like this. Heart breaking.
Her comment in court🤯🤯 Even the woman next to her cringed so hard. PURE EVIL TO THE CORE. I'm so sorry the parents and family had to hear that. #justiceforelihart
She gave the middle finger and said, "F all of you"
@Daily Bread She said, (not word for word) I'm innocent, fu*k you, and you're all garbage.
I have a child close to Eli's age. She is my LIGHT. The reason I am who I am. I just can't believe this human! I won't refer to her as a mother or even a woman. She is absolute garbage. (And not to rant on any further.. besides, the system failed this sweet boy as well. Such a horrible case.)
@@dailybread7687 I had to put my earbuds in and turn up the volume because I couldn't hear it either. It sounded like she said I'm innocent, FU all, you are garbage. She's disgusting and there is a special place in hell for people like her, imo.
@@dailybread7687 she said “I’m innocent, fuck you all, you’re garbage and proceeded to give the court and everyone the finger before she was hauled away to her life sentence. She lived blocks from me. Hope she rots under the prison
@@dailybread7687 “I’m innocent. Fuck you all. You’re garbage” 🙃
What a precious little boy. I am so appalled by the system that keeps allowing children to be returned to dangerous people.
I love how regularly you upload content! I’m impressed because that’s a lot of work to post what seems to be daily lately! I want you to know how appreciative I am that everyday I find a new video to watch! I found you through DCP and I’m so glad he told us about you so that I got to discover your channel!
The testimony the stepmom gave was heartbreaking. Prayers and empathy for the family of Eli Hart. RIP little man , you deserved so much more than this
Seeing the child’s school homework broke my heart. My son is gonna be 6 next month and it just makes me think of how much of an evil animal you can be to kill your own son . To plan it , then go and do this to him is just unbelievable. She deserves no justice , no empathy.
Man , hug your kids tight , love them even when they aren’t on their best behavior . Some kids clearly don’t get it at home 🥺 rest in peace little baby boy 💞
The judge in the custody case should be brought to the town square for all to witness
I'm disabled and have caregivers that come to my home to help me out and I'll never forget how this one young woman came to work for me....the state sends them by the way.....anyway, this one in particular told me about how she just lost her son to his grandmother because she was violent with him....I was immediately terrified of her. She was weird and have off really bad vibes. Thank God I was able to get rid of her but I always wonder what makes someone so violent. Scary
@@1silverchad it wasn’t the judges fault it was more of cps who recommended the judge to give her custody
Yes! That tore me up inside. I’ve got 4 boys, one of them is 6 and when I seen that school work all I could see was my sons face bringing his school work to show me as soon as he gets home from school. 😢
As a previous CPS worker this is crazy to me. How does this happen I do not understand how they continued to give the child back to her. SMH this is heart breaking
After reporting what they did I have no clue why they would give custody back to her
You were a CPS worker Marie? Why do you think she got him back? You have more insight into the state policy's, so what, in your opinion, do you think happened?
Every state has different policies but these social workers were making decisions based on biases for a mom in my opinion. Most of the time workers and courts are usually backing mom because they tend to be the "primary" parent. The judge obvious did not read the whole case file because in all honesty really failed this child. The judge usually makes the final decision in these cases.
There could have been an evaluation done for him to be placed with his father instead of closing the cps case to have a custody case. That was the absolutely wrong decision to make.
I agree with you wholeheartedly Annie. Why aren't there laws in place making CPS workers legally responsible for their decisions and actions? How many times have we heard how these people have too many cases and can't keep up with their caseload? These are our children. Any thoughts on where we can begin to have laws in acted to hold these agencies legally responsible? The "advocates" for this little boy should be facing criminal charges!
CPS workers are overwhelmed, overworked and underpaid, to say the least. It's been like that for a long time, as anyone who would like to be a social worker knows. Applicants tend to be well meaning but damaged women who distrust men.
Absolutely, let's clamor for laws regulating CPS. Anything to bring attention to the inadequacies of the system.
And they are often pushed by whatever the supervisor above them or their department agenda is. So if they are audited by the state do their stats for reunification look good? To have both workers shift their recommendations from what they were reporting? Someone may have been "advising" them.
They do have terrible jobs and are criticized at all sides. Didn't return fast enough, took kids who should have been left home, didn't take kids in danger, terminated when they shouldn't have, and sent kids back only to have them suffer or be killed. It's hard to predict what will happen and many workers are doing good jobs. No one hears of the cases where services and supports really help.
But cases like this highlight that the error risk should always be on the side of overprotecting kids. There were so many serious red flags. The father wasn't fairly investigated. It didn't need to be all or none. This sweet boy had a safe and loving family placement. Supervised visits and working slowly, not closing the case, would have been better than rushing to reunification. So so sad.
I know one guy and two women personally that worked for CPS. All three of them set out with good intentions but were mentally distressed and worn down in six months. Each of them had to resign or their own mental health. Keeping people in that soul destroying system is very difficult. You have to be a certain type of person to ride that job out. I will let you decide what kind of person that is
This case had me crying at only a few minutes in. I had to take breaks in between. Eli's smile stole my heart. He was such a beautiful and happy boy. His case got me choked up so badly and I cried listening to this case. Her impact statement to the court, broke my heart. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and everyone who had the privilege to care and love him. This case is up there with the Baby Briana for me. I will never forget Eli's story, he will forever be in my heart.
The slew of cuss words that came out of my mouth when the court asked her if she had anything to add before her sentence and she had the audacity to call that baby's father trash 🤬🤬
😭😭😭 poor father. How the hell did he end up with that poor excuse for a female. 😭😭😭
She's absolutely evil.
The stepmother's speech is so heartbreaking 🙏💜
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔. I hadn’t heard of this story. Thank you for sharing this story. Rest in peace Eli.
You are seriously my fave person to watch . I’m so glad your doing daily vids .. love from your biggest Aussie fan 🖤
This case to me has an extra layer of insanity because there was a parent who they could’ve placed the child with. The dad at every turn said “PICK ME” I’m safe she’s not. There’s no excuse!
Exactly
as a mom of a 6 year old boy this case makes me so sick. The last photos of him, he had no idea ;( I hope he is getting all the hugs and love in heaven he deserves ♡
He is ❤✝
As an artist, photographer + some. I truly truly appreciate the effort into the channel revamp and filming. Incredibly professional. Two cameras. Side angles, yes! Darker setting. New intro this year. Name. Colabs.
LOVE love love it all. I see it all, I see the effort Annie. Well done 👏 loving the new revamp. 10/10
I really appreciate how u detail these cases I never take a break while watching because I am so enthralled by how you speak & explain cases I am locked in I'm invested thanku
Heartbreaking. Julissa sounds like my daughter. I had to get sole custody of my 17 month old granddaughter 8 months ago. Thank God I did it when I did my daughter's had multiple incidents of psychosis/ drug use in the months Ive had this baby
I'm sorry for ur daughters addiction. It has to be hard as a mom and a grandma! 🥺 Thankfully u are there for the baby. Sending you, your daughter and the little one so so much love ♥️
I hope it gets better for you guys.
@@elisakatarina1435 Thank you. Your thoughtful comment brought tears to my eyes. It's hard and of course to her Im the enemy the bad guy. Its conflicting but this baby and her safety are my number one priority. I am in therapy it helps a bit.
Your granddaughter is lucky to have you.
You are protecting your daughters soul at the same time. ❣️ Preventing her from the possibility, of doing something she can't take back.
@@karliann1 good, it's so important that you take care of yourself ♥️ i hope that therapist helps and there's also Al-Anon meetings (for an addicts family), I'm not sure if u have been, but some find those very helpfull! And yeah I bet it's a tough situation for ur daughter to face too, to lose a childs custody and addiction is one hell of a disease .. so it's easier for her try to sift the blame on you, at this moment. But it's obviously clear that you are doing exactly what you should ♥️
She's a monster and yes she's absolutely guilty!
Omg the system failed Eli so badly. It's unbelievable and completely unacceptable!
My heart is broken for his daddy. What a horrifying tragedy.
Rest easy sweet Eli 💔
The system starts and ends with your state legislature. They are the ones who demand the children be reunited with their bio parents at all costs. Second are the judges who have the final word on reunification at the case level. The judge many times rules in favor of bio parents no matter if CPS says no. But, of course, yt blames CPS every time.
This happened in a small, close and protective community just 30 minutes west of downtown Minneapolis. We are surrounded by one of the most beautiful and largest lakes and nature areas in Minnesota. The schools are wonderful. The teachers and parents love our little kids here. Eli's teachers adored him. A bridge over a channel of the lake was dedicated to Eli, and the community raised tens of thousands of dollars to help Eli's dad. Eli's memorial was full of beautiful flowers and mementos for Eli and his father. CPS and our courts wronged this child and his dad. The state is to blame for this murder. The only agency Eli's dad had to help his child failed him. The insensitivity is maddening. I'm relieved this woman is in prison. No one - literally no one locally - was ever divided. She did it.
I watch A LOT of true crime and since I've discovered your channel, I have seen so many cases that I've never heard about. Thanks for telling them and thanks for giving these victims voices.
I cannot believe that I had never heard about this beautiful little boy. Thank you for the work you do and the compassion you have for these people. Keep up the wonderful work
I 100% believe that Julissa is guilty!! Especially after her obnoxious statement to the judge. 😡
This story broke my heart and literally had me crying while I watched you explain it.
I agree this stuff needs to stop. I was in and out of foster care until I was 9. At 9 I was finally adopted. I adopted my niece. I've had her since birth because the hospital took her when she was born on substances. My sister's boyfriend at the time fought me for custody despite not being her dad and being an addict with a very violent rap sheet, and almost got her from me. If he hadn't gone to jail, he would have had her within a few days. It's really unreal how that even went that far. How much rope they give these people. How dangerous of a situation they were about to put this baby in for no reason, knowing full well that he wasn't the dad. It's sick
WOW!! That makes no sense to give that baby to him.
@denisekellogg5885 I know! I told them who the dad was and they said that unless the dad came forward and took a DNA test every wouldn't object to this guy saying he is the father. This is the stuff that dcfs does that puts so many kids in danger. They are over worked, under paid, and take the easiest route to close a case. Luckily divine intervention saved my daughter and its been 6 years since that case was closed
I love your channel! I watched half the video and couldn't stomach the rest...this is sooo awful and heartbreaking.
It’s the step mom going on and on. You can just feel how beautiful this child was and how much he was loved. How incredibly sad.
She literally left her kid on the side of a cliff and still got her kid back😳😳😳
Right?!?!
Those pics of Eli and his Daddy are so heartbreaking. They were so happy together. I'm so tired of seeing these smiling children in obituaries.
Yeah, as much as I try to man up, a lot of these cases tear me up because of the innocence lost. I can't stomach the pain of losing a child, but I feel it when I come across such stories because the signs are/will present themselves.
I love how you talk about drama but you aren’t INVOLVED in drama. It makes it so easy to trust you and what you say when listening to these videos. It’s so heartbreaking and it is something we need to hear to further understand that we need to say something if we see something. Thank you.
Ugh! System failures break my heart. You should look up the story of Josie Ann Abney of Salem MO. A little girl who had a rough start from birth, taken by CPS, and adopted to an even worse family, which cost her her life. Tragic story.
What is so devastating about this case(other than the obvious) is that she had options if she couldn’t take care of him. There was a loving father and fiancé or even a loving foster family that could have given him a wonderful life!! Disgusting!!!
They’re selfish people who don’t really love their children. That’s why they won’t give them up
Yet another absolutely tragic story that shouldn't have happened. Poor Eli, I hope he can rest in peace. Thank you Annie for sharing this disgusting case, your work ethic is unmatched.
I honestly was just thinking about the story 💔 Thank you Miss Annie for doing everything that you do, I know these stories are hard but you do an amazing job
That is such a brutal way to leave this world 💔 I feel for Eli and his father. The system fails too many children.
Of course she is guilty. Who googles that kind of crap and is innocent when a death happens? No coincidence!!! And the insurance broker's testimony sealed her coffin. And I'm glad. She doesn't need or deserve the freedom to do this to another child.
Thanks for all your awareness, Annie! You're just the BEST!!!:)
With tampon blood all over her face lmao red flag
Right?! I know it makes no sense that those who commit these crimes leave such an extensive, obvious digital history… but at the same time, I hope that they continue.. just so that there’s no doubt of what their intentions were.. definitely cannot be a coincidence.. so glad that the insurance broker decided to speak up once he saw her on the news.
Such a sad sad case.. my heart aches for his daddy and his step mom.. they wanted him.. the system gets some of these so wrong, and this is one that they got so so devastatingly wrong.. that poor baby.. prayers for his soul and the family who loves him.
Thank you so much for covering Eli's story! 🙏🏼 Orono is just a couple towns over from us, and as a Mama of four, this case hits way too close to home. Eli looks and sounds like such a sweet innocent boy caught up in the chaos surrounding him because of irresponsible, negligent authorities with a bias toward the mother maintaining custody, and seriously mentally ill adults. 💔 May he RIP.
Thank you so much for covering this. I live in thw area and saw her pulled over for over a half an hour. It was awful. She had blood and obvious brain matter in her hair. I saw her while taking my son to school. It was odd because she was walking around. I came back a half hour later and thw scene was the same. Our town can not understand why the cops let her go considering the obvious scene. It has caused so much heartbreak. I am a hairstylist. I told one of my clients that finally a true crime you tuber covered this case. She has a son that was in his class. I asked her how do you possibly explain this to a 6 year old? Let's just say it wasn't easy. Not only did her actions take a beautiful life, She also stole a piece of innocence from so many kids. Also what kind if cop doesn't notice 9 shotgun shots to the back sest?
They noticed. They saw the blood all over HER, blood all over the inside of the car, a bunch of shotgun shells and bullet holes...they even found the body in the trunk IMMEDIATELY!!! Watch the police body cam footage! I can't believe they let her go home...and didn't arrest her on the spot as soon as they saw the body of a child in her trunk!!! Unbelievable!!!
@@psychicrenegade They let her go home before opening the trunk but seriously? They couldn't see the crime scene in the backseat?
I remember seeing this on the news, absolutely horrifying. Rest in peace sweet Eli ❤ thank you for sharing Annie!
This case is near and dear to my heart, very close to home. I am friends with his foster mama, such a sad case 😢 CPS should be completely held responsible.
Give her a hundred hugs from all of us. Wish we could do something as the 10 to Life Community!!!!
I'm so sorry you were personally touched by this tragedy. That child had two loving adults who wanted him so much. I can't believe they at CPS lack the empathy to see and understand that. It makes absolutely no sense.
I live in Minnesota and this case has been so heartbreaking. This state needs to get it together.
I was so touched by the young man who was picketing with his handmade signs. As far as I could tell, he was unidentified and I wonder if he was a relative or friend of the Dad or just a stranger with a big heart and a desire for change. I think if hundreds of people joined alongside that picketer, and made their own signs, and shared on social media, and the crowd just grew and grew -- maybe every Tuesday for a couple hours or whatever -- that finally the courts would get embarrassed enough by the situation that they'd actually make some changes and abide by the name of the agency: CHILD PROTECTION Services.
This system FAILED this poor little boy ! Disgusting. Those social workers need to be held accountable
My first comment on here: the angles was somewhat distracting at first, but im surprised i like it. also i apritiate it because of the effort and creativity you put in to your videoes,its new and creative and i think you did a good job on how you angled it ,and when you switch between the angles! Your content is great and your voice soothing. Love from Norway🌤
Our CYS in this country is disgusting!! When I was a childcare worker, I had to call on several people that were abusing their children. They call the parents before they come and their standards have become very low. This poor little boy😢The father has to be completely heartbroken!! I say, lock her up and throw away that key!!
I live in this town and this freaked me out so bad when this happened! Edit: I also used to work at carbones and I’m pretty sure I’ve served Eli and his dad. I remember driving by the crime scenes that were blocked off and being super scared and confused, and then finding out it was one of the worst possible things that happened while we were all asleep. Thank you for making a video on this, you’re my favorite true crime RUclipsr!
Please hold the system accountable.. I’m so over them dropping the ball
I’ll never forget this case. This happened like 30 mins from my house and my girls were 4 and 5 at the time. I didn’t even have the words. Minnesota is such a mothers state even when it’s harming to the children and it’s devastating.
Hey Annie I grew up in Minnesota. The state failed him ,Many people do not know this but Minnesota is a "woman first state" Unfortunately that means even in a situation like this the state thinks it benefits the child more to be with the mother. My friend was a single father who had to press the state to get his son out of an abusive situation. Its sad and breaks my heart.
Michigan is too
My mom’s youngest child was married to a girl in MN and she was an alcoholic and addicted to opiates. She physically abused the oldest daughter horribly and tried to smother the youngest with a pillow twice! And they still gave her full custody! When the oldest was old enough to make a decision for herself she chose to live with her dad. The court gave her custody of the only boy and the youngest that she’d tried to smother twice! I’ve never understood how someone like that deserves custody of their children, the alcohol and substance abuse are obviously not a safe environment for the children. CPS up there would call him and ask him if he could come get the other two for “emergency” custody because the kids weren’t even going to school and it was an 18 hour trip one way, and only to know that once she went back in front of the judge he was going to demand they be returned to her. Finally she got a DUI and was released but got a second in less than 5 days and she lost all the kids and they’re now living in Ohio with their dad. She passed away in her sleep a year and a half ago, her organs just shut down from all the abuse she had done to her body. I’m not for always returning the kids to the mother, they need to be with the person who can give them the most love and take care of them the way every child deserves.
I’m in Minnesota and have not heard of this case. Thanks for covering this! As both a social worker and a mom this case made me sick to my stomach
Yes I am in mn too and have not heard of this. It makes me sick
Me too...I'm thinking how didn't I hear of this? God help us!
Bless you for the work you do. You guys work so hard and get such little thanks or appreciation. You deserve so much more. 🖤
Anna Elyse I absolutely love your and your passion over this case. There are so many broken agencies in the usa
That beautiful heartbreaking speech says it all....how very very sad.
I live a few miles from where this happened. Absolutely tragic. I'm glad she's serving a life sentence.
Another child the system FAILS. My heart aches for those who loved him… 💔😞
I have already posted about this case on your page but Yoy covering this made me join.
Here I am a 65 year old man and this mom has me crying.
Everything is absolutely heartbreaking in this case. But when i heard Eli's step mother talking on the street and after in court i was like "what an articulate, loving and very mature woman". I think she is amazing and it breaks my heart to think there was at least one great human that would have take care of him very well until he would be an adult, but instead ... 😢
The court should be held accountable as well. How the heck do they keep sending him back to that mother.
wow…his stepmothers victim impact statement was heartbreaking. moved me to tears.
Hey Annie! I’m a new subscriber but let me just say, the main reason I watch your videos is because of how much effort and time you out in to getting all the information out. You get the facts girl! You care about the victims and getting their stories out there and it’s amazing to see.
I recently heard about Lawrence Paul Anderson, he pleaded guilty to murdering his uncle, 4 year old cousin and neighbor (he cut out her heart and tried to feed it to the family for dinner) TRAGIC.
I would love for you to cover this case and maybe other viewers too?
Ask The Misery Machine to cover it! They are really active in their comments and good about taking listener requests, so it's likely they'll see it. They do excellent research and are incredibly respectful of victims.
@@semeninturkeybaster Thank you!
Absolutely tragic.
I will never understand how a parent could do this to their own child, in any circumstances.
That poor kid. I’m so sorry Eli, you didn’t deserve any of this injustice 💔
How. Sher wasn't a real parent, only biological. And
she didn't want the father who loved him to get custody. She's selfish and evil
@@IbelongtoJesus. yes, obviously I agree.
She should never have been granted custody. All of this could have been avoided.
It just blows my mind, as a mother, that anyone could even do this
This breaks my heart. This poor baby was failed. Why would they continue to send him back to her? 😭 I feel so bad for him, his father and his foster family. This woman is truly sick!!
This absolutely breaks my heart...Eli was such a sweet boy 🥺🤧
This woman will get what she deserves on prison. Killing kids is a big no no.
Someone should sue the Judge that gave this custody to that monster
Thank you for giving this case some attention! It completely dissolved in the news when it happened last year. :/ I had just started watching 10 to life when Julissa did this and I couldn’t believe these cases could happen so close to home. The entire CPS is failing and needs change. Rip Eli and my heart goes out to his dad… 💔
The real culprits in this are the Dept. of Social Services and the court. The dad should sue the Department of Social Services. If people
outside the family are given power over children, they should be held accountable for their decisions. The court is also responsible.
His father and second mom's words at the end were just beautiful, "who loves you most?" "You both do" wow few children are loved so greatly, may he rest
Social services should be on trial. What is wrong with them. 😡😡😡
The courts and cps need to stop with the mentality that children are better off with the biological mother. That is not always in the best interest of the child(ren).
God bless sweet Eli 🫶🏼
My heart breaks for his dad, other family members, and his foster family.
Cps and the courts failed yet another innocent child.
I heard a story on news nation yesterday about a small child that was beaten to death by his father. The mother called CPS several times and tried to get an emergency order through the courts and he killed him the next day. Another system failure. 😥 would Love to see you cover this one.

Thank you Annie for giving all these sweet children a voice and a chance for those to hear their story ❤ Obsessed with you and Christina Randall you both have the biggest hearts
