Side note... how much love did the cat 🐈 express towards Emma? The look of love from a cat is so beautiful 😍
Chase has a huge grin on his face for the whole video, he loves his mumma and it's lovely to see
MOM stop moving your hands and pet me 😂
I was looking away when he appeared and could just hear his purring. I thought it was one of my cats, but neither of them are in the same room as me ❤😅
SOOOOO adorable!! I could totally hear his commentary in my head....he loves her so :)
If we can all find partners who love us the way that Emma's cat loves her, we're sorted! What a gorgeous cat ❤xx
this video just breaks my heart, as a grown autistic woman who was an abused autistic child. my mother severely emotionally abused and neglected me; it wasn't until i was in my early 20s that i was able to get away. at 35 years old, and still deal with the scars left from that chapter in my life. this video reminds me to have gratitude and remember those that didn't make to adulthood.
This is such an absolutely an inspiring comment. Thank you
@@originalbiscuit8543 alot of that gratitude also goes to my actual parents (my dad and stepmom) who did what they could to help me catch up in terms of life skills and understand that it's not something that can be fixed overnight.
i was really hoping that my comment wouldn't be inspirational, but a reminder that children with autism, grow up to adults with autism. and how our overall society is not prepared or willing to aknowledge that fact.
@@jennifergilbert6532 I think adding that your dad and stepmum really helped is also a great thing. One of the best things about extended family is that a good stepparent/auntie/cousin/grandparent can hugely ameliorate the damage caused by an abuser.
As an abused adult with ASD, I totally get what you're saying. You're doing amazing though, your scars don't define either of us. Keep going! ❤
This one really hits home. As a mum to a 7 year old, severely autistic, non verbal boy this is my biggest fear. I've always said that if something happened with my marriage to his father, I wouldn't get involved with anyone else because I couldn't trust them with my vulnerable boy. He's challenging, difficult and complex but he's also hilarious, loving and loves life. I'd go to prison if someone hurt a hair on his head!
Really needed that beautiful cat purring towards the end. Going to watch him sleep now and hug him tighter in the morning. Sweetest dreams Harvey
My grandson is autistic it's a bog job for mom and dad. I he is wonderful ❤️
I myself am autistic but I’m high functioning (used to be in the Aspergers zone) but I’ve made it my job to work with children with special needs because I can kind of understand the thought processes a bit better than some others might and I believe that every child should be able to learn to swim and enjoy the haven that I and other autistics enjoy underwater where the stimuli are somewhat muted just for a little while.
My son is also non-verbal and this is my worst fear. It’s so hard to trust people with him. Hugs to you.
@@Thorstendeal Wow that fantastic what your doing.My Grandson who is 4 years old has severe autism and he's non verbal. It's hard for my daughter sometimes as she lives away from family and friends and is on her own. My Grandson has started to communicate with these little stick on pictures, where he has made a sentence the other day. He hasn't been doing it long as she has had to wait for speech therapist to come out to her. The therapist is really happy with him, how quick he's taken to it. The nursery he goes to have said he's very clever. He is such a lovely little boy, cheeky and loving. He's gentle with my dog and she is protective of him she doesn't leave him😂. I hope you continue to help the little ones as you said you have an understanding of your struggles and ways which you can help them❤ I find that so interesting about the underwater swimming, have to tell my daughter, maybe he's a bit too young yet?
You're a wonderful mum ❤ I'm old now, but was undiagnosed with ASD as a child. After splitting with my dad, my mum fell in love again - but he said she had to choose between me and him, as my behaviour was so bad & there was no ASD diagnosis in those are days, particularly for girls. My grandparents even offered to adopt me so she could go onto have a normal, happy life with more kids. My mum said no. She would never leave me.
I have always felt horrendous guilt that I ruined my mum's life 😢. All she ever wanted was marriage and kids. I stopped her from having that.
Thank you for mentioning adoption ❤ I was adopted at 2 weeks old and have never known my biological family. The amazing people that adopted me are the best parents I could have ever hoped for, they’re my mom and dad, very lucky! ❤
I love comments like this ❤ adoptive parents are special
@@WickedlyVicki Absolutely! My parents jumped through hoops to get me. My mother unfortunately wasn’t able to have biological children but treated me like I was so special ❤️
Awww, love to hear the positive experiences, it sometimes feels we only hear the negative
@@beccamason3712 Unfortunately the negative is always more attention grabbing. The positive ones always feel better tho!
I was stolen from my real family never gunna find them now and social services allowed me to stay with the thieves and they were murderers and rapist yet the best place to place me n my bro at age 4mths and my bro was 16mths hate social services and the family they put me with I wish I'd been adopted by someone who actually wanted children not just for the money a child brings in xx
My daughter is 3.5 years old and diagnosed severely autistic at 3 years old, thank you Emma for talking so knowledgeably and with such empathy regarding autism, as a parent I have discovered this doesn't happen often. I've been a fan for years but never commented before. I needed this today❤
I couldn’t agree more. She is very well educated in this disorder and speaks with compassion. If only everyone would take a little time to understand what autism is and is not I believe the “stigma” associated with ASD would disappear.
Same I have 3.5 year old twin daughters diagnosed as non verbal & autistic. I appreciate her empathy & perspective towards Harvey. I can’t believe this monster did this to this poor even more vulnerable child 💔
I have 5 kids 4 are Autistic, one is non verbal. This case bothers me , but im happy to hear compassionate language about ASD and learning difficulties, especially driving home the points that non-verbal children are still children that deserve love and consideration. Xx
My 12 year old son is autistic and was nonverbal until age 4. He still requires diaper changing and being fed today. I’ve devoted my entire life to his care. It can be exhausting but I couldn’t imagine ever hurting him. He depends on me and his father for literally everything and he’s so sweet and special and smart. I can’t imagine ever betraying that trust. It sickens me. Thank you for giving a voice to this child especially on World Autism day!
Love to you from another special needs mummy ❤
Love and respect from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
You're a hero. Just know that you are a hero and your child is an important part of society. Neurodiverse brains fascinate me. I'm sure he is very interesting to be a mother.
❤
@@mgreen1206 hi from Sydney
I don't get how people can hurt children, I don't get how people can hurt people but I really can't get how people can hurt children
That's because you're a decent and empathic human being. Unlike the monsters who are capable of these vile acts. To anyone else this doesn't bear thinking about.
Me neither x they prey on the weak and vulnerable its something I struggle to understand xx
I’m a swimming teacher for children with special needs and I am ashamed to admit that when one of my students informed me of issues with their new step-parent, and then that step-parent arrived to collect my student (we were holding her in our care at the pool while we waited for police to arrive) they screamed in the face of a teaching assistant and I lost control and had to be held back by my colleagues, my shame is that I lost control in a place that the students could see. I know that violence is not the answer and it most definitely is not acceptable for students to see their teacher act with violence but I couldn’t stand the idea that an adult would harm a child that is never anything but smiles and who just smothered everyone they met with love and care. These children deserve better and we do not do enough for all our children and unfortunately it is often the children who have special needs that fall through the cracks.
@@Thorstendeal legend 👊
@Colm Coss hurt is one thing abuse it's just... abuse.
Seeing his little smiling face sitting in the car just broke my heart, I just can't fathom how anyone can harm a child
He has the sweetest little face and his smile melts my heart, what a gorgeous boy. So so sad, RIP little man
I’ve listened to hundreds of not thousands of true crime podcasts or CZcams content and for some reason, this one I’ve had to pause numerous times because I just can’t stomach thinking what happened to that beautiful little boy. Seeing him in his car seat smiling with his little drink 💔💔💔 His sweet little face..I raised 3 children who I did not give birth to and I would lay down my life for any one of them!!
Dina watching him smiling, sipping from his little cup really got to me. In a lot of these cases you'll see videos, pictures of these innocent babies smiling and laughing and in hindsight realise this was during the times they where being abused.
I've often wondered if their laughs, smiles are "put on"? , I want to believe that in those moments they really are happy, it gives me some comfort to think that regardless of the horrors they went through that they still could enjoy the "peaceful" times 😢
I cannot believe that the father is still going to marry his son's murderer 😮 what an insult to his son's memory smh.
Exactly the words I was going to say
That makes him just as bad as her. That's the only way we can look at it. He should be in prison with her and not within 500 meters of his other child!!
@@MichelleMackenzie-zs6qz Maybe he knew she was abusive with him. She did text him and warn him not to leave her alone with the kids... He knew she wasn't able to handle them!!!!
@@berniedoran2688 exactly
What a dumb man. The thing killed his boy and he is going to marry the violent evil thing.
I think the only comfort in this case is this little boy didn't spend his whole life in misery and fear. For 5 days a week he was safe and happy with his mother. He was absolutely gorgeous he looks like a real sweety. It's so sad.
Hi Emma. Not sure if I’ve commented before, if I have it’s not often. I’m mildly Autistic and also completely blind and so as you can probably imagine, I’m nowhere near in sink with the so called mainstream/typical world. It makes me so unbelievably furious that excuse for a human being did not go down for murder, it makes my blood boil as in my opinion she blatantly and purposely abused her position of so called care giver and did all she could to get rid of that poor child and for absolutely no reason whatsoever! Thank you so much for covering this case! It means the world to me! And by the way I love listening to your videos as I love the way you talk through and describe the cases. And I don’t mean that to come across in the wrong way, I know each and every case is incredibly heartbreaking and devastating! But in the nicest possible way, I honestly learn so much from your videos due to how very deeply you always dive into the details of each case! Please keep your amazing work up, if you know what I mean?! Thank you!
There's no such thing as being "mildly autistic" it's not salsa.
@@SjofnBM1989 I’m sorry but you’re talking absolute BS. Of course Autism can be mild. I suggest you go away and do some proper research on it before you go round making such dismissive comments. Like any mental health conditions it varies in terms of the severity and so you can’t say that there is no such thing as mild Autism.
Autism isn't a mental health condition, but apart from that, I agree.
I cant understand why you dont have millions of subs, Emma. You do such an amazing job bringing these cases to light.
My best friend has a child with special needs and whilst verbal, he has such a high pain tolerance that when he broke his arm, he didnt cry or say he was in pain - it was only due to his pale complexion and appeared dazed that his parents took him to the A&E and confirmed the break.
There is no excuse for allowing a child who exhibits adverse reactions to not be tended to! I wish we could sterilise people like this - to prevent them from bringing such gifts into their world only to damage them beyond repair. 😓
My son had a febrile seizure in a bakery in selby once. Wanna know what I did?? freaked the f**k out. I'm so thankful for the people who were around me and the staff at the shop because I was a MESS. The last thing I thought of was filming it to send to his father. This thing is vile. We always ask why, but there is never going to be an answer that will be "good" enough for anyone with a heart. There will never be a reason for any of these tragic deaths of innocent babies. 💔
On a lighter note Em, my son and I are in love with your cat there, he is so adorable, had to watch twice through once for the cat alone. How you mange to not even break your stride is amazing. The way he looks at you and loves the bones of you. See you next month in Worcester Serial Killer Next Door Tour 🧡😺😻
Met a lovely lady yesterday in a shop & we were chatting & then you came up Emma, she's a massive fan too & I encouraged her to go see your tour. Friends parents are going to see you soon as I'd recommended it. X
This one hit close to home as someone who has autism and at times finds it hard to communicate with others, I still can't imagine what this baby was feeling.
I asked in your live chat, but just thought I'd say it here as well as I'm very passionate about his case! I'd really love for you to cover the case of James Prout one day. No one ever talks about that case, I've only ever found one documentary and it was just all about the killers... James Prout deserved better and I think you could do that, I'll warn you though it's heartbreaking and it's stayed with me for a very long time. 💕
😢
Same. I was never a nonverbal autistic person, but I went through two years of selective mutism after my parents moved me from one school to another and then back to the previous one. I’m not sure if the mutism was due to autism or just the trauma of all the change. My parents never tried to figure it out. They weren’t my biggest fans lol
I hate hearing about nonverbal kids who weren’t given proper attention. A lot is going on inside their heads.
We are a neuro spicy family and one of my nephews is non verbal. I worked in children safeguarding for 25 years and I cannot imagine a man marrying a woman capable of treating one of the most vulnerable people on the planet like this poor baby. I’ve seen women take child sexual abusers back because they believe they will change. Maybe he feels like this too. Personally I don’t feel sentence was long enough. She should never see the light of day again. I’m sorry for her surviving children. Having that monster for a mother can’t be easy. RIP little man 💜
@@Starryeyes65 Unfortunately the sentence was pretty good for the UK standards though it would have been higher if she was done for murder! That's what i find really disgusting, I'm so over the whole "they didn't intend to kill them" , like come on, if you, a grown ass woman is going to attack a 3 year old, who isn't even a quarter of your size, repeatedly of course your going to end up kill him! It's like those who subject people to prolonged torture and then get the "I didn't intend to kill them" defense, like if you are going to torture someone for prolonged period of time, of course your going to kill them! It drives me crazy 😤😡
@@BeckBeckGo It's really upsetting, this case actually made me think and realise that without my voice, I wouldn't be able to communicate that I was in pain either, I would completely depend on others noticing my physical appearance and behaviour. I can't imagine what this little guy went through, what chance did he really have, absolutely none at all! RIP little man 💕
Aside from the horrible case- your cat is so in love with you. Beautiful to see!
I was thinking the same thing and the purring sure helped soothe my soul during this difficult content.
I was going to say the same thing about her lovely cat! It also lightened my mood watching him as he followed her hands moving about as she spoke. So adorable. RIP angel Harvey.
Aside from this horrid story, you have a beautiful cat
Yes, the cat is absolutely adorable ❤
As the mother of a non-verbal autistic child, this is my worst nightmare. Knowing that other people might harm him when I’m not there and I would never know is something that is so difficult to deal with. The video of little Harvey drinking in his car seat, laughing and living reminded me so much of my son, who is 100% pure joy. My heart breaks for Harvey. Such a horrible thing to do to anybody let alone someone as vulnerable and innocent as Harvey.
I 🥤 5:7😢
It is a scary thought, but take comfort in the fact that because you had that thought in the first place, you are a good enough parent to be able to see the signs, even if the child might not be able to tell you themselves.
The “parents” who do evil things to their kids, or even just parents who don’t care about their kid as much might not notice the behavioral signs….
Harvey looks like an angel, I bet he is one now too. What a beautiful little boy, how anyone could hurt a child .... I'll never never know. Rest in peace baby boy Harvey. 💙
his beautiful little face in the photo of him wearing his little dinosaur coat broke my heart...so precious😇🕊🧸RIP Harvey
where was his father all the time before...the older injuries. She came of easy. my heart cries for this little boy and his family.
This case fills me with so much rage. I don’t care who’s kid it is, if a child collapses I’m going into mom mode because children are precious and we’re here to protect them. Poor baby boy. My heart breaks for him.
I am a childhood abuse survivor. And I was in Harvey’s shoes when I was younger. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder and couldn’t talk at the typical age children start talking. I was dx’ed with Childhood Speech Apraxia. My abusers took advantage of that. The abusers were so called family friends. My parents had no clue of what was going on. I endured around 7 years of horrific abuse. Once I started talking after years of intensive speech therapy, the abuse stopped. I personally don’t know how I survived. My mind split itself apart to protect me emotionally and mentally. I could have ended up like Harvey, but I didn’t. This case struck a very personal cord for me. I survived where Harvey didn’t. I am now 40 and planning to go into the medical field after graduating from university. I am thriving today. RIP little Harvey. 😢
This tragic story certainly gives a new perspective of being a voice for the voiceless. My heart is broken like never before over this young child’s death. I don’t often weep….this one the emotions hit hard!
I cannot comprehend how someone could be so cruel to a child. Rest in peace little angel ❤
Thanks for covering a case with an autistic person. I'm autistic and the amount of abuse to us by people who are supposed to love us is very disturbing. Luckily, my family is very loving and support me in everything I do, but many people aren't so lucky. In the US, 50% of filicide cases happen to autistic children. HALF!!! And the known amount of autistic people is 1/100 people. We need to do more to stop this from happening.
I can second this. My family was not as kind as yours, but I think they tried.
I didn't know this stat. That's frightening.
Emma is so compassionate. It's so obvious that she is an amazing loving mom, human and that's an amazing trait to have. God bless you Emma.
This case is truly horrific, the fact this little innocent boy could not voice what was happening makes it all the more disgusting. Looking forward to your insight on the case emma ❤
The fact she stood there filming him instead of ringing 999 is actually making my heart beat so fast, that poor little baby 💔
Thank you Emma for giving this very special little boy a voice....he's one that will always remain in our hearts!😢
I really needed the purring during this case. It’s incredibly soothing considering the very heavy content!
This is heartbreaking, my nine year old son is non verbal autistic, it can be a struggle at times but he's worth it, the thought of someone hurting him and me not knowing that's my worst nightmare
What a beautiful little boy. I'm heart broken by this episode.
I'm so sorry for Harvey's family.
Emma I absolutely love the way you always speak so eloquently when explaining peoples additional needs, what they mean, and quash the usual stereotypes people have about them 💜 it’s so important to see
I'm putting some of the blame on the dad. He worked whilst he was supposed to have his son for the weekend. And then conveniently at the cinema when she totally lost it. He should be accountable too. Vile woman hoping she gets her comeuppance in jail
I said that. Why wouldn’t he rush home or have words with her about her video she sent him or the texts off her. I can’t imagine she was playing nicely all the time he was around too. If I was the father I’d be expressing my serious disapproval of her actions, not marrying the human trash. His action or non action worries me.
You would marry someone like that to keep her mouth shut if you were complicit in the abuse
I have ASD and ADHD, I was forced to speak by my parent's at the age of 3 yrs old. I have had someone use 1 of my sensory overload issues against me which is very very painful for me, it was another Autistic person who did it to me who has no empathy whereas I have far too much of it.. I have also been on the recieving end of violence too by my own parent's, it's easier to blame those that can't express their own selves 💚
Emma why hasn’t this been on any uk news I’m shocked that it’s not more k own in the uk x
I thought I was the only one who hadn’t heard of it.
The poor darling! My heart breaks! I have worked with children with verbal and non verbal autism, and they are so trusting! We as care givers have a duty to keep them safe! She should have got LIFE because she stole little Harvey's life, so her sentence should have reflected that IMO! R.I.P you precious boy!
Child murders are obviously very hard to watch. Thank you for telling us Harvey’s story in such a compassionate way. He looked adorable, how could anyone hurt such an innocent wee soul. 😢
I hope borrington never gets a minute of peace for the rest of her life
You look fabulous!
You always cover the two C's of Crime and Consistency. Those that follow you for any length of time appreciate the silent C of compassion xx
I am delighted to have found you on CZcams. Going to watch your whole playlist
I grew up in the village this happened in but wasn't aware of this case. That monster will be out in fewer than 10 years with good behaviour. Glad to see the channel doing so well Emma, fully deserved. You're easily one of the best TC CZcamsrs. Also love your cat 😻
My youngest daughter, whose 4, was diagnosed as non verbal level 3 on the autism spectrum when she was 2 and I just want you to know that the way you explained an autistic child whose non verbal was absolutely amazing! I have never read/heard any other person, including professionals at hospitals, and autism centers based strictly on everything autism, explain it the way you have and it was like a breathe of fresh air! I can't thank you enough for spreading the information on autism in such a real way. That poor baby boy, I can't imagine what he was feeling or thinking and it truly breaks me. I'm a true crime junkie, I love it. But I couldn't even get through this whole video. People disgust me.
I love your videos. I also LOVE how lovingly your kitty just gazes at you. The adoration in their eyes is adorable
Once again another excellent video Emma. I'm appalled she only got 15 years with the possibility of being out in ten. Fancy filming him when she should have been waiting for an ambulance to come. Like you I'm staggered by the father wishing to marry her after all this. Crazy.
And yes Chase made an appearance. He looks so adoringly at you. It's so nice to see, thank you.
I’m not surprised, he didn’t protect the kid , there’s no way he didn’t know that things weren’t right…. But it does make it seem like he really didn’t care about his child at ALL and that’s just sad 😢
Emma, you are absolutely amazing ❤️ your input in this channel and all crime docs I've seen so far is very in depth and quite eye opening! 👍 Sending love from Gloucester, UK ❤️❤️
She didn't intend to kill him?! For fucks sake! She sure as hell wasn't trying NOT to
After losing my baby at 19 weeks gestation, him being born alive and me holding him for 15 minutes whilst he took his first and last breaths, hearing about cases of children being abused just absolutely sickens me. Children are an absolute blessing and need to be cherished. That poor boy. I have a 3 year old myself and I can't even bear the thought of anything bad happening to him. The mere thought of somebody hurting him makes me angry! Beautiful boy 💓
I'm sorry for your loss.
So heartbreaking poor little Harvey. Cannot believe how evil & twisted a so called woman can be towards a tiny boy. She should be in prison forever for this cruelty. I do feel the father knew it was going on or was more involved in the cruelty as he is still planning on marrying the monster. If someone had murdered my child & I feel this should have been a murder conviction I would want to get a hit man out on them rather than a marriage. This case is shocking & extremely insetting even for us let alone his direct family. Hopefully she will get pay back in prison. RIP sweet boy. 😢
I've only just started this video, but I already resonate with it because I, also, have a severely disabled child who is non-verbal. I know this case will break my mama heart but I also know it's important to soldier through and listen because there is a huge problem with abuse of especially vulnerable children all over the world unfortunately. They have no voice so we have to be the voice for them!!
Your cat is so adorable! The attention he demands and the love he has when he looks at you is too much ❤
Matlock is one of my favourite places too. Next time I'm there I will be thinking of little Harvey & the perfect memory his mother shared about their walk. She shouldn't have to be left with only memories of her child, this is awful. And it's scary because it just shows that sometimes the wrong people find their way into your lives and we have no control over it. It makes me not want to trust anyone with my children.
I love how every time you move your hands chase is just constantly trying to get some rubs/attention 😂😂❤
Hello Emma and all. First time commenting. Love your in depth info on the cases. Iv seen you Emma break down only once but this is going to be hard to talk about! X😓❤️
The only thing I can think of about the dad still willing to marry her is that he did things too and maybe that monster could reveal things he's guilty of. My 27 yr old son is verbally limited and I was assaulted in high school, it was horrible and I still struggle with it. I am so sorry for this sweet baby's mom.
This one is so tough. My 3 yr old foster (soon to be adopted) child is autistic and to think someone could hurt one of these beautiful children is so beyond my realm of comprehension. I may not have “grew” this little girl but if anyone ever tried to hurt her in any sort of way, life as they knew it would change forever. 😡🤯
Kitty steals the show once again!❤
Another great video, thank you. Such a sweet boy ☹️
That poor baby's father failed him. This case is so sad. What an evil woman.
Just wondering if the father was complicit. And also wondering why he wasn't there on the weekend the boy died. Did I hear you say he was at the movies? He should have been the primary caretaker for his son if it's only weekends.
Anna I thought the same. And if it was 2.00 am where was he? Something isn’t right here
@@deborahknowles6541he probably was there , but tried to make it seem like he wasn’t….
I’ve actually seen someone delay calling for an ambulance, of someone who was overdosing, so that one of the people there “got far enough away” , before they called” people just don’t care about other people at all and it’s so sad….
What’s even worse about that situation, is before calling 911, they called my boyfriend, he was friends with the girl in distress. And they called him freaking out saying she wasn’t breathing, and he rushed over there, and immediately called for assistance, and IMMEDIATELY started cpr and whatnot, all things that all the other people at that house failed to do, and you know that , the state is literally trying to charge him with manslaughter for it. Absolutely fucking ridiculous
Long time fan (new-ish to your channel, though) and first time commenting.
I think what you said about "Why aren't you doing the maths and realising that you're not a terrible human being for falling in love with a monster" etc is just so profound of a message. It has so many applications, and people don't say it soon enough. I think "risk offending" can be applied to the people we love too. Done in the right way, of course. Thank you so much for all your videos.
Excellent video as always. Thanks Emma.
I love the way your cat looks at you adoringly and keeps on trying to get your attention!
Kindest.
Libby xx
I can’t believe there’s another one of these, how is this happening so frequently in the UK🤯
Omg what a beautiful little boy 👦. How can any parent hurt their own children? So sad . I hope she gets everything she deserves.
Thank you for all your content Emma. The more exposure the victims of these horrid crimes get, the more hopefully there is a voice for change..and really calling them out for their actions. Children especially are the most vulnerable and have no voice. We seem to have legal matters in place with a licence for this and that..but none in place for the importance of protection of the young, mentally impaired or elderly. Big huge gaps, but it's all about the dollars and not the actually people. Anyway that is another huge subject which you do touch on at time. Thank you for being you and passionate and empathic.
I live local to this and the story about matlock made me cry, i too have taken my 3 year old son to that area and have beautiful memories there. My heart truly goes out to the mother and her family 💔
This story reminds me of the little boy who cried nobody loves me and he had a step mother from hell too.
Poor little Arthur
Was so nice to meet you in Glasgow! ❤
Feel like there are so many of these sad cases involving children these days. Absolutely dreadful what this poor baby went through 😢
Gosh this case is so tragic, as a person on the spectrum myself, the way you talk about individuals on the spectrum is super respectful and incredibly refreshing to hear, especially regarding how autistic children are still as much as a treasure as a neurotypical child, and I really appreciate it! It's definitely a view that needs to be passed around more, and those that abuse children who require extra needs in their raising are truly despicable (as are all child abusers, tbh!) Harvey looks to have beenn an absolutely gorgeous child and raising him should've been an experience that is so special and rewarding, and yet he was never given a chance to be the gorgeous individual that I and many others know he would've been, god bless.
I really love how you present these horrific crimes , I love how you act it out , your cat idolises you , listening to you so cute 🐱
As a fellow True Crimes Channel I realise that it takes a different level of evil to hurt children. 💔
My daughter was diagnosed at 2 too asd global development delays and none verbal but let me tell you she is the best little girl in the world god bless this beautiful little boy so sad how could anyone hurt a baby i know its challenging when caring for a special needs child i have 2 but if u cant give them what they need step away and let them be properly loved by a real parent 💙💙💙
Only just started this video but as a mum to a 3 year old little girl who is also autistic and nonverbal, I can tell what I’m about to hear is going to be truly awful. I have a huge amount of anxiety about letting other people look after my daughter and this is a huge fear of mine, that someone who’s looking after her may treat her badly and she wouldn’t be able to let me know. I just don’t understand how anyone could harm a helpless child 😭💔
Wow this one has really got to me my son has asd and adhd and mental health at 13 hes extremely challenging and life has never been easy but I would not change a single thing about him hes my boy and dont know him any other way than being extra awesome.
How these parents can do harm to their child whether they're neurodiverse or not is just unthinkable
What a beautiful little boy,
How could someone just sit there videoing him dying,
Its beyond evil,
Karma will catch up with you with Miss.
Fly high little man 💙x
Again, thank you Em, another candle is burning. 😢❤🔥
Your cat! ❤❤❤ hope they will become a regular feature, their purr and how they gaze at you so lovingly xxx
Hadn't heard of this case even though I live 10 miles away.
One parent families have to vet potential partners. You can't expect everyone you invite into your unit, to be mentally stable.
My ex partner was allowed to stay at weekends.. I never entertained the idea of living with another person:-- but then my own experiences as a survivour makes me only too acutely aware of dangers.
Rip lil guy So sorry you were let down 🥀
I really don't know how the dad would want to have anything to do with her! I don't know how old their other child is, but surely she would not be allowed near children?! So so sad 😢
The beautiful cat trying to maneuver his gorgeous head under Emma's hand as she speaks is absolutely adorable. A much needed reprieve to the horrific story of the monster who brutally abused a vulnerable sweet child.
What a sweet little boy omg/ love your show hugs from south London x
As a mother of two boys, youngest being autistic and has adhd and also being a step mother to 2 girls I just cannot understand how she could do this to this beautiful wee boy :( my step daughters are my whole life, just like my own boys are, if you don’t intend to love your partners child like they were your own child then you have zero business being in their lives
I was wondering what had happened with his dad. Then you said that they were getting married. I just can't.
Thank you for covering this case, Emma 🍀🌿🍀 Really appreciate the light you shine on child cases, especially ones where the primary care giversare the ones failing the wee bean, cause it's important for people to have these conversations 🔥🔥🍀🌿🌳 As a late diagnosed autistic adult, the only thing I'd like to mention, as an addition - there is a push within the autistic community to use "non-speaking" instead of "non-verbal" (much appreciation for you mentioning it as limited verbal skills as well); non-verbal subconsciously makes people think someone cannot communicate, when it's simply their ability to verbalise that's impacted in many cases, and when the same people communicate in writing they are fluent in their language, so non-speaking lets people know that they can communicate, just not with the sounds that make sense to most neurotypicals 🍀🍀🌿🌳 Thank you again for all that you do, Emma 🌿🍀🌙🌿🌿
Very empatheticly told Emma. These innocent children have an amazing advocate in you.
There was an American case where a "mother's" new "man" murdered her baby son, and blamed it on the baby's older sibling - and that "mother" also married that utter piece of human excrement.
Sadly, I can't remember the baby's name, however his brother - the one who was accused by his stepfather of harming his baby brother - does a podcast. If I remember right, either his name or his baby brother's name is Tom.
I know that's not much to go on but I'd love you to cover the case.
Love to all, from Kerry in England 🙏 ♥
My heart is breaking looking at this sweet, innocent face! I feel so saddened for his mom. 😢
My 2 youngest children are autistic. My son is non verbal. This is my worst nightmare. I worry every time he leaves home without me because he can't communicate his needs and he can't tell me if something has happened, even going to school where I know he is safe, still worries me. How anyone could hurt any child is beyond me but harming a little boy just because she knew she could get away with it is beyond evil! She should be tortured every day for the rest of her life the way she tortured this poor little man.
There's something a lot colder in this woman than I see normally with people who hurt children. Usually they panic, try to cover what they've done but to simply stand there filming that poor, sweet child whilst he's suffering, that's a whole other level of callousness!
Yes! She's a demon 👹 Dead behind the eyes, utter coward that she is.
What suspicious is how she has an explanation for every injury and nothing like this happens when he is with his mother…
.. loved watching your precious kitty wanting to join you with todays 😮presentation Emma. Thank you for bringing yet another tragic episode into the light. 15 Years to serve two thirds is not acceptable… her 15 years should be served to the day- no get out of jail free card for any murderer let alone a child killer.. nasty woman!
I sure hope she spends a long time in prison, but something tells me she won’t 😢😢😢
What was his dad doing at a movie??? He should of been at home with this beautiful little boy!!!
My son was minimally verbal until age of 3 and has autistic spectrum condition. I just can't fathom how on earth anyone could hurt a child, any child at all, but he was even more vulnerable because of his needs! Horrifying.
Omg I just realised and I’m 33 you just explained my childhood . My dad left my mum when I was a baby and when I was old enough I would spend every second weekend at my dads with my step mum ,step sister and half brother . My step mum treated me horribly .. absolutely horrible I have childhood trauma and I could never understand why .. how she could be so cruel . I would cry to mum I didn’t want to go but mum said there nothing she could do and sent me anyway . I always felt unsafe there when she was around and could feel the tension coming off her towards me
His dad made it easy for her to abuse this poor boy to or he would not be still marring her now
Here is me thinking about the guilt the father must be feeling having let somebody look after their child who then went on to torture and kill them, only for Emma to say he still plans to MARRY her!!!!!
Thanks!
I could tell as soon as I tuned into your channel that you aren’t well because your eyes give it away. Hope you get better soon ❤
This case is horrid... poor darling boy and his poor mother having to live without her boy and to carry those details from the case. My heart just breaks... rest in peace darling boy away from the horrors of life down here.
This is heartbreaking. My 3yr old niece is mostly nonverbal autistic. I couldn't imagine anyone neglecting, never mind abusing her 😢
Thankyou for your sensitive, wise and knowledgeable description of neurodiversity, especially autism. Much appreciated.
