I think the worst part about this story was that she appeared to deliberately get pregnant in order to torment and eventually murder her child.
Ugh! I thought the same
02:05 He said it was cold and passsionless. She was doing it for a result.
It's absolutely bone-chilling. It cannot honestly be described as anything else than pure evil. She wanted a human completely and utterly under her power, so she just went and acquired herself a toy to torture.
yup. no doubt about that
My thoughts too.
She premeditated the death. She should have gotten life without parole. I believe ppl are softer on women who they think have munchousen by proxy but in my opinion these are just psychopaths.
Agree.
Born evil
She definitely planned it! Seriously, she researched it, and had all the right stuff to introduce the salt water into his G-tube.
Agreed. I don't care what label is put on it... whatever it is we know she's a very very bad person and will never be safe to be living with the res of civilisation.
Softer on wimin in general is what I think you meant to say.
Poor little man. I wish that medical professionals had figured out what his mother was doing before it was too late
😢
She kept changing doctors and moving to stay ahead in her game. Look at the case of Lucy Letby, serial nurse murderer in the UK. She murdered dozens of her patients but it took years to figure out despite various co-workers who had suspicions along the way. Thankfully, in this case, professionals finally set up cameras but it was too little too late. Tears for the poor child.
she lives in the south. her complexion and gender and age might have made her more trustworthy to the medical community and the culture in the south.
CPS doesn’t care
They didn't even try to find out if she was hurting him
For the safety of her potential next child, she ought to be kept behind bars until she's post-menopausal.
I agree… this woman having another child should be illegal.
She can always adopt or be a foster parent.
@@OmEvul1415I'd hope they would check her record and not allow her to do that, but you probably can't count on it.
Um excuse me this goes against womens empowerment.
@@griftospherequalitycontrol4179 Oops, we can't do that!
"Who? Who?" LOL. You crack me up, Dr. Grande.
🤣
🦉
I lost it 😂 Perfectly highlights the ridiculousness
lol😂😂😂
Reminds me of Gypsy Rose’s story, it’s unfortunate that this poor child did not survive his mother’s abuse.
If she gets out in her 40s she could still possibly have another child. She needs to at least stay in until there's no chance of that happening. Poor little guy.
I agree
But she could also babysit/work in child care regardless of her reproductive status. She really needs to be locked up long term.
Agree...even if she never has another child, she could easily get her hands on one. She,s far too dangerous to be in society.
CPS should have taken her friend's call about abuse seriously.
CPS doesn't take anything seriously
@@annazaman9657 they only go after parents who aren't doing anything wrong and do nothing about evil wh*res like this beeyatch. Seems like.
@@annazaman9657 Actually CPS doesn't take anything that's obviously serious serious. They'll take something not serious seriously.
CPS is terrible. They take children away from parents that they shouldn’t take away and leave children with monsters that they should take away.
20 years lol, for slowly murdering a child. Fucking justice system
Didn't another mom get 10 years for letting her 9 year old play at a park unsupervised for 2 hours? Is torturing your son from birth until he dies at 5 only twice as bad as a kid playing at a park? I don't get the courts
Another loss of a beautiful child at the hands of a wacko parent.
All the chances to remove this child from Lacey Spears, were missed so many times. Lacey Spears had obvious mental problems. She tortured her son, finally killing him. She was not punished severely for her murder, and when she is free, she will do it again. How can anyone make a person or animal suffer, I shall never understand.
I wholeheartedly agree - I just said to my adult daughter “I will never comprehend people, especially parents, of harming their children. I just don’t get it.
It is SO opposite of the way I feel inside, I will never be able to relate or “understand” in any way this phenomenon…😢
That's because you're a good person. ❤
@wallhagens2001 I mean, even some otherwise bad people don't harm children
Evil is now called mental illness , no doubt these days the Nazis would now be in a mental hospital the only one who suffered was that Poor child
It was a girl,dum%#@$$
Poor little lamb. He must've been so afraid & confused 😢
I wonder what she did to the other children in her care to give them ear infections?
That puzzles me, too.
Exactly poor innocent kid
Putting something dirty in their ears? Dirty water? I don’t know but I wonder too. So odd
That's what I was wondering.
Sounds vile, but she could have put poo on a cotton bud and pretended she was cleaning their ears. Definitely introduced something with bacteria into their ears. Such a sick individual.
Saw a documentary about young Garnett's short life. The last few minutes of his life on video were harrowing. But in every photo of him I've seen he was smiling. Poor lad.
Although not for blood & guts reasons that it was so extremely disturbing to my soul,
but just seeing that little boy walk along & jump on his bed & then to be dead a few minutes later at the hands of his mothers psychotic sodium poisonings in the doco you talk of really messed with my head.
Same here, I think it was on 48 Hours.
Lacey is a cold, selfish, and evil person who I hope never get out of prison .
Yes, it reminds me of a dog that is beat, but being noble little animals, they still treat their owners with love. That poor baby, Garnet. 😔
Who, who. Just when I thought I could not be surprised by Dr. G's dry humor, he finds a way to make me burst out in smiles and laughter.
That one got me too 🦉
Nah, think I missed this one - que line please?
@@user-mc9qh9xc6v Start at 5:40
Likewise!

She should be sent to serve a life sentence in a psychiatric hospital. Thank you Dr. Grande for looking into this sad case. Rest in peace Garnet!
she isnt beyond redemption. all she needs is the loving guidance of a good man.
she can be saved 😍
@@easterworshipper5579Are you trying to be amusing? This statement is delusional.
@@cathrynward4617 Do not feed the troll...
SHE IS NOT MENTAL, SHE IS EVILLL…
@@easterworshipper5579 Are you kidding me?
these child abuse cases are hard to get through
Indeed, and they're never-ending.
Yes, I normally avoid listening to them. I made the dumb mistake in this one in thinking at the beginning that the poor little dude might have survived.
I had to stop listening. After becoming a mama myself , I just can’t 😞 not that it didn’t bother me before, but….i just can’t 💔
That last part, when he was in the hospital and twice asked other people "not to leave him", and to come get him, knowing he was in danger . . . that said it all. Even at 5 yrs old, he was already aware something was very, very wrong with his situation and his "mother" (I use that word very lightly here). One can only imagine the nightmare this kid was going through before he finally passed. Lacey should never be set free, ever, for any reason. Maybe life in a mental institution instead of prison, but absolutely should not be anywhere where she could inflict this type of sadistic misery upon anyone.
This hits hard. I was poisoned by my mother with salt as a teenager for a period of 6 months. I cannot understand what makes people like this do what they do.
they are evil and want attention and control.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
????? Wh~??? I'm so, so, so sorry this happened to you. I cannot even imagine how heartbreaking this must be. I hope you got justice, and independently of that closure and peace.
Damn that's terrible, sorry to hear. Can you give a little back story and what ended up happening? If not, I completely understand.
How did it happen as a teenager?
"Who, who" made me spit out my juice. One of the wittiest ones you've come up with. 😂
Felt the same way. It took me by surprise. Lol. ❤️ from 🇨🇦
?
@@user-mc9qh9xc6v 🦉
I literally choked on my hot pocket 😂
Unfortunately, I didn't get the joke.
EDIT: AAAAH, he was imitating the sound of an owl ! Got it !!
I don’t see how it will ever be safe to set her free in society. She could get a job babysitting or caring for an elderly person.
It broke my heart anytime one of my kids cried or were hurt. I can’t wrap my mind around the behavior of this woman. Sadistic.
She not only killed her kid. but she tortured him. And the judge doesn't give her the max because she has mental issues? So she can get out and have another kid and do the same thing again?
I think prison is not just for punishing people, but keeping society safe from criminals such as her.
How is this not 1st degree murder?
Sure seems premeditated to me. It wasn't in the heat of the moment.
Female privilege bud
"Her" privilege
It's difficult to prove intent in a court of law, so a lot of prosecutors will choose second-degree murder rather than first-degree murder in order to win the case and get people in prison.
Poor little boy with a monster mother.
My dad was a medic. He knew how brutal medical procedures get. He always warned us not to play around with hospitals. They'll get to the bottom of it, and you'll be traumatized for life. He wasn't lyin.
It's sickening how that poor child suffered his entire short life. The judge made a mistake in not giving her life in prison, I believe that she will continue harm others when she's released.
Oh she will,ppl like her always find victims,there's no divine intervention
_Ms. Lacey Spears, a young woman whose selfish and pathetic need for attention transformed her into her son's worst nightmare. Because every once in a while, the most dangerous place for a child to be...is in the arms of his very own mother. A sad and grim reminder on behalf of...The Twilight Zone._
Excellent comment! 💎
I'm not diagnosing anyone in this video, just marveling that a situation like this actually occurred.
If that woman has a psychiatric condition it isn't one that makes her sympathetic to most people. The fact that she was sadistic and took pleasure in her son's pain should have been enough for the child protection agency to have taken measures to strip her of her parental rights.
I don't think that she does. She did this consistently and methodically over the course of several years. People who are mentally ill to the level that they would k*lll somebody are generally not organized enough to pull something like this off. If I had to guess, some kind of Cluster B personality disorder. This whole story reeks of an attempt to get attention and sympathy through his poor health and death. 😒
Lol, "whoo whoo". 😆
Never change, dr. Grande.
Well now I've seen whoo whoo mwntioned 4 times and I never even registered it...?
This was torturous to watch. Poor little Garnett. My heart aches for him.
What a light sentence for taking this little boy's life.
How come a G-tube was still in place for so long without being needed? How was something like that allowed and not trigger any earlier suspicion from the medical personnel every time they visited the hospitals? Strange story indeed.
It's a mystery why a doctor installed it on a healthy child. She really pushed for it. But after that when any doctor who told her it should be removed she just never went back to that doctor. It was her tool to keep him sick.
Crap doctors.
@@sarahalderman3126 All the doctors she saw other than the quack who installed the tube had one goal- to get the child better. She never stayed long. Get the child sick, take pictures to post on her face book and blog, and move on. She bounced from doctor to doctor , hospital to hospital. And she moved a lot. All they could do was report her and a few did but she knew when it was time to get out of Dodge.
Medical professionals are not exempt from being dumbasses
That poor boy, no one helped. She was such a bad person & made many suffer while playing the victim. Great analysis again. Thanks Dr G😊💕💕
Thank you again Dr. Grande 👍
"Lacey was attention seeking, self-centered, shallow, talkative, excitement seeking, sadistic, vindictive, petty, immature, insecure, manipulative and deceptive."
This dry humor of Dr. Grande is the best. “Who is this owl? Who. Who.”
Instant like for the "HooHooo". I enjoy your humor and love listening to these stories when doing stuff around the house. Thank you for the laughs!
I tend to take dr grande along to the kitchen while preparing dinner❤🎉
Rough story, but I did get a giggle at the owl part, "Who did this woman think she is. Who. Who"
How unbearably sad.
This sounds like Munchausen syndrome by proxy
I agree, it is pretty clear.
its much more common now. Because it's an illness of narcissism, which has become.. epidemic. The most vulnerable always suffer the pyschoses of society....
It is.
It is. Factitious disorder/Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another is just a re-naming of munchausen's/munchausen's by proxy. They just updated the name in the last DSM update. Similar to how other conditions have had their names changed.
Yeah, he said that in the video.
Textbook case pf von Munchausen Syndrome
Yep. Munchausens by Proxy.
God rest that poor baby. My heart breaks for him. 💔
Although I was familiar with this case, I wasn't aware that during his last days, poor Garnett had pleaded for help. This just makes me VERY sad! As someone who regularly suffers from migraines and other chronic pain, I pity Garnett for the agony the additional sodium injected through his PEG tube caused him among his other suffering. He saw his mother as a threat to his health and very existence at the age of 5 years old. There are few things as tragic as not being able to trust your own mother! I couldn't help thinking of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother Dee Dee as I was watching this, but Garnett was never going to get the chance to retaliate. Having isolated him from family who might have been able to help save Garnett left him, even in hospital, at the mercy of her lack thereof sealing the boys fate. I DON'T think that 20 years is enough time to serve, especially if she could still conceive another child upon her release. I DID enjoy the "who, who" owl noises made by Dr. G, but they were the only "enjoyable" parts of a very sad video. RIP sweet Garnett! My condolences to Garnetts extended family.
INSANE!!!!!!! She should be locked up forever. It was 1st degree murder 100,000% Can you imagine if a man did that???? I hope they find out what she did in prison. Hopefully, the other women will dish out the correct justice.
Man, I swear you are reading my mind. I just got done saying your exact comment at the end of the video.
If a man did what?
Nah, the sisterhood cover for each other.
@@themysteryofbluebirdboulevard Killed their kid in this manner.
You have become one of my favorite CZcamsrs.
What a sad story on many levels. Some young woman who can't have children would have loved him to the moon and back.
And America increasingly treats their children like empty beer cans,
just look at how many have been aborted in the last 50+ years.
Oh god, that was so upsetting to listen to. Poor little guy.
She should never get out as she will never be safe to be around.
Five year old child realized what trained professionals did not.
Good work, DCF.
Poor Garnet, suffered so much in the hands of the woman who should love him and care for him. RIP little angel ❤ 😢
Absolutely nothing more important than looking after a child...this beautiful baby boy...TOO late contacting cps🙄...poor baby...screw up by all involved not recognising abuse
Or recognizing abuse but "not wanting to get involved". I am so sick of how people turn a blind eye to everything evil!!!!!!!!
"Whoo? Whoo? Whoo?" 😂😂 I'm a proud subscriber to this humor!😅
Sometimes you should trust a mother who is insisting a child is sick. I personally know someone who was repeatedly dismissed by the hospital for children. Things came to a head when this woman I know was being told to leave the ER. (Repeated visits to the ER were brushed off and she was called crazy and that nothing is wrong with the kid.) She refused to leave and sat on the floor in the middle of the er and said "I'm not leaving until this problem is addressed." (not exact)
Some point after this incident in the same hospital (I don't recall the exact details or if it was the same literal day), she was in the cancer ward and childhood leukemia was being explained to her and what the next couple of years would entail. She was right, the hospital was wrong.
😮😢
One of the kids getting chemo when my baby and toddler was....had been taken to the er 20 times in the year before.finally he was dx with stage 4 stomach tumor...he died at age 3 years 4 months
@@candice-hw7nbhappens more often then people know. Not just with children though, it is actually the norm for most.
@@sarahalderman3126 indeed. Neither if NY kids would be alive today if I wasn't present t in the hospital 24/7/365. I bought so many errors and even one's oncologist told me so....people who say just to trust them and leave so thry can do their job are ignorant beyond words.
@@candice-hw7nb I agree 100%! As both a parent, patient, and a CCRN myself for the last 17 years I can say with confidence do NOT trust anything without confirming it yourself.❤️
Some of these need horror ratings. So sorry for Garnett.
How is it that a woman can torture a child over and over for many years and do it, solely for their own pleasure, until he died has the possibility to be out of jail in twenty years?
I know for certain that a man who tortured a child for many years in a way that caused them the same amount of pain and suffering as Lacey Spears caused her son until it eventually caused the boy's death he would get life with no chance of parole.
The fact that Lacey Spears' son didn't have bruises to show the pain the poor child suffered is not an excuse for her to only get a minimum of 20 years.
😂😂😂😂😂the “who who who “part had me , these videos are so helpful.I’m writing ✍️ my psychopathology exam tomorrow and I’ve been binging on your videos Dr Grande . Very helpful 🙏🏽
Sounds like another Gypsy Rose type story 😮
No it doesn't
@@festina_lente7655 thanks for your personal opinion. Dgaf .
@Venise7777 yes, same disorder.
Both Munchausen's syndrome by proxy
@@festina_lente7655 Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Not a "disorder" but rather a symptom of psychopathy.
My son and DIL have been waiting 3 years to adopt a child and she just throws this little boy away.
It’s wild to me a married couple has to wait three years to adopt a child who needs a home. I hope they are able to adopt soon and have the happy family they deserve. 🩵
He was in a hospital, there was a suspicious history, and there were even freaking cameras in the freaking room catching her almost in the act - and yet nobody stopped her killing her own son.
They didn't know the history. She bounced all over and took him to many different hospitals. She knew how not to get caught.
But seriously-poor little guy!
Whooo ?🦉 makes the funniest Dad jokes? Dr Grande, that's who❣️
I've seen the video from the hospital where the poor boy was heaving helplessly because he was unable to throw up, in obvious distress and pain. How a mother is able to intentionally do this to her child is mind boggling.
Hindsight always comes to late in these cases. If just one person had done something differently, that poor little soul might still be alive today.😢
The judge didn't impose a harsher sentence because he felt that Spears had a mental disorder. This begs the question: What are prisons for? If their role is solely as a form of retribution (punishment), the judge's sentencing is understandable as he could argue that Spears mental condition diminished her responsibility for her actions. But, to my mind, the principal role of prison is to keep the public safe from these deranged people. When she's released in her forties, she'll be the same person. She may not murder another child, but there's a strong chance that she'll bring more suffering into the lives of innocent people who are unlucky enough to encounter her.
She did have a mental condition, but she was in full control of it. If I had to guess, maybe some type of Cluster B Personality Disorder. It's not like she was psychotic or couldn't control herself, like what happens when you have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. She knew what she was doing as she was doing it, and she fully deserves to be punished for it. Garnett is the victim here, not her. 😒
They represent a rug to sweep our problems under and that's the best we're ever going to get. Ever.

Too heartbreaking.
Sorry, Dr. G.
I agree. Absolutely devastating 💔
This is one of those cases that is so evil, it’s unfathomable. This tells me there is real evil in this world. Real horrible, horrible evil.
I've commented before that cases involving children are particularly hard for me. I really can't fathom how a parent... mother... can hurt and murder their/her own children.
Thank you, Dr. Grande. Your analyses are always great to watch!
she's a psychopath
This is probably my favorite true crime channel. Dr Grande is great at telling us the details of each case & his joke delivery is just… well, perfect. The jokes are freaking clever AF, but done in such a way that I don’t feel like they are disrespectful. If anything, his brand of humor adds exactly the correct amount of levity.
I would absolutely pay a bunch of money if he decided to pivot slightly and start doing stand-up. He could start a whole new genre: True Crime Stand-Up.
ETA: the “Who? Who?” literally made me laugh out loud, as his jokes usually do. We had to skip back 30 seconds because I laughed so hard we couldn’t hear the TV.
525 dollars a month for a two bedroom apartment. Wow! I rented a one bedroom in 1994 for 560, by myself and easily afforded the apt. I was there 7 years and the rent rose over a couple hundred dollars while I was there. It was around 780, In 2001. That’s over a 35% increase in only 7 years. Today, they are around 1500 for a one bedroom. Almost triple. I don’t know how the younger people afford it. I certainly know wages haven’t kept the same pace.
I apologize, I took a left turn here. Lol!!
She should Never be released!
As a mother who desperately wanted her little boy with cancer to live, I have no words.
"who does this woman think she is? who.... who...." This may be one of my favorite Dr. Grande jokes.

@@user-si4ly9mn7vWasn't obsidian the birthstone? Not that it matters, obviously. Garnets were used as replacement for small rubies in some jewellery from what I'm aware.

Poor little guy. This is horrible, what a monster
I've listened to at least 50 if not 100 of Dr. Grande's videos, and most are pretty upsetting but this one had me fighting back tears for this little innocent boy.
This is why you should never trust salty women.
I wouldn’t suggest trusting the unsalted ones either.
I keep trying to see evidence that there's all this "war" against women?
The WAR is and has been for the last 50 years, increasingly against MEN and MASCULINITY !
@PrimalSion You shouldn't trust anyone. Trust no one.
It seems so strange that the hospital doctors & staff were clueless with those sodium levels. Even I would have been highly suspicious of what was going on. I'd say that was a BIG fail for that little boy😢😢
That's why she moved Dr's and hospitals frequently so no one Dr puts together the big picture. Each new encounter is seen in the context of her lies, and his then condition.
Tragic and heartbreaking. Such a sweet little boy gone
sometimes I want to just give up everything in my life and just watch Dr. Todd Grande videos.

That owl joke was a good one Dr. Grande

Not gonna lie, I just burst out laughing at the "who, who?" joke 🤣😂🤣
Lacey: Blake, you're the father.
Blake: Wh-who?
Yes, I'm pretty sure she had Munchansen by Proxie. I used to be very intrigued with this rare condition, and I used to search anything there was on the subject. Lacy's case was one of first ones I found.
Definitely.
"Bags of open salt and feeding bags full of salt" facepalm. Inculpatory factors: "The man had a hamburglar outfit and a burlap sack with a giant money sign on it" basically
You would think one of these so-called "professionals" of medicine would have analyzed that feedback at some point .
What I've noticed about so many doctors as well as with other professions is that the younger ones have gotten very one-dimensional in they don't really have a sense of structure about the entire picture, beyond what their immediate task is.
Imagine being that 5 year old boy. Knowing something was terribly wrong with your reality but not having any experience beyond what you have known, not one caring connection to another being and living every moment at the mercy of a sadistic psychopath. Anyone who would do this to not just her own child but other children and anyone incapable of defending themselves will never reform. As soon as she gets out she will go right back to baby sitting, working in old folks homes, moving in with a bed ridden elderly person, any path to getting new victims. There will be more victims as soon as she is free.
“Who-who?” Dr Todd Grande kills me yo
How sad, poor kid
"Who does this woman think she is? Who? Who?"
😂
I'm ⚰
This story always makes me sad. Such an adorable little kid. May he rest in peace.😪
I wonder what could be happening in a situation like this
I never heard before that Garnett knew he was in danger, that’s heartbreaking
I personally delivered supplies for contamination remediation to Atwater and heard stories of plutonium and other highly-toxic items being poured down sinks.
Also a story about in the middle of the night the military brought in equipment to dig a trench and buried many drums of waste and had it all covered by daylight.
For what that's worth
Am I the only one who likes to fall asleep to Dr. Grande? His voice is so soothing. 🤓🤣
Don’t judge should be in jail. Someone should give him a prison sentence. She should never see the light of day again. !!!
That deadpan "who? Who?" was so unexpected. Excellent.
What a tragedy. GOD help us; evil people are so scary.😢😢😢
I feel so sorry for this poor child.
