Omg I truly appreciate your kind words about vulnerable people. I was a working girl for over 20 years and have been a addict for over 30 years and you'd be amazed at the judgemental attitudes of most people. so thank you
Too many stones thrown from inside glass houses…Yes there are truly ignorant, nasty people abounding. I do think there are often so many who ridicule others to deflect attention from their own struggles or perceived inequities. If we could only learn to accept own own faults and misgivings, possibly we might be able to drum up the needed empathy we all so desperately need in the roughest of times. Warmest regards, Hannah and the best of days to come to you.
The road to recovery is not an easy one, it's not easy to overcome addition. I wish you well. Keep going because your worth it. If we (people) were a little more caring and understanding Britain wouldn't be so broken and vulnerable people would have a chance to heal and live out their potential.
Hannah I was a working girl for 22 years and a crack and heroin addict for 24 years. I'm 41. I've been trying to stay clean and I'm near the end of my second year of my degree. It's certainly not easy! Just a kind word and a smile can go a long way. I can't stand it when people judge others when they don't have a clue what they've been through or how they got to where they are. Stay strong 💪❤️🙏🏻
That quote: "If you don't feel loved, it's hard to find worth. And if you don't find worth, it's hard to find reason." Wow! That is so profound and so eloquently described.
Hartlepool born and bred here, whilst Angela had her problems she wouldn't ever hurt anyone, I knew her personally and she was always kind to me, even when totally inebriated. Rip Angela x
I remember her in Darlington, Noone ever gave her a chance, Yes she was kind and wouldn't have hurt anyone, she was just extremely vulnerable. She deserved a better life than she got.
I ended up in Hartlepool when I was going through a really, really bad patch. It was a terrifying place. There was a guy called Danny who kinda looked out for me. He had good taste in Music, and warned me about how dangerous the guy I was staying with was. But that place....still have bad dreams about it.
When you spoke about her posting chocolate bars through for the kids made me feel so sad. Imagine having one of the most unfair and tragic starts in life and still trying to make good starts for those youngest. What a lovely thing for her to do. ❤
Emma I cannot explain how grateful I am that you’ve covered this case. I’m from Hartlepool, and remember so clearly ever detail of this horrendous crime. What happened to Angela Wrightson was beyond sad and disgusting. And knowing the ages and that it was two school girls who carried it out makes it all worse. Thank you again. And I love you and all your videos.
@@tammyallen3813 hello Tammy, I replied straight away but it doesn’t seem to have worked. If it has and you’ve ended up with two replies I apologise. What I’d said in the original reply was… The girls’ sentences were quite confusing due to their ages. But from the court transcripts it seems as though they were given a minimum sentence of 15 years. Therefore there is no guarantee they will be released at 15 years it will all depend on their actions at the time. “For the murder of Angela Wrightson, I sentence each of you to detention during Her Majesty’s Pleasure. The minimum term I impose in each case is one of 15 years.” If it works I’m going to post a link to the transcripts of Sentencing remarks of Mr Justice Globe, Leeds Crown Court 7 April 2016. It’s a really interesting read!! www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sentence-f-d.pdf 😊😊😊😊
I used to be alcohol dependant, I'm now sober for 5years and counting 👍 I too am suffering from the effects of damage done by drinking. All kinds of damage that can't be fixed by my now staying sober Including TBI
This happened down the road from my nana, such a horrific attack. I used to see her out and about hartlepool Town centre, she was a face everyone knew R. I. P Angela
Um, I feel like I've waited my entire life for someone to say that to me. I know it wasn't directed to me. But the part in the beginning of the video when you're talking about grief and that she didn't necessarily choose to live that way, moreso that life just happened to her. Um. I've been through a lot as a child/young adult. I feel like my entire life I've been grieving. And no one's ever acknowledged that it wasn't my fault or I didn't deserve it. Idk I've just never heard those words before and it's incredibly comforting even if it's indirectly. Maybe someday I'll hear it in person. Thank you for saying that. Everyone no matter who they are should hear that.
@@Rylinu @Hollie Clayton I'm sorry you both know the feeling. But you're right, it is nice knowing you're not alone and I'll take ANY support I can get haha. ❤️
12 yrs sober here. To know what that poor, beautiful soul went through absolutely breaks me. I know what it feels like to believe you’re not wanted. I know what it feels like to believe you don’t matter. To know that she was tortured to death without ever having known love will haunt me. I only wish that, wherever she is, she’s feeling safe, loved, respected, and held in the arms of peace. As for the vile children who did this? There are no words except to say that sometimes pure evil exists without cause or provocation. Theirs are the faces of evil incarnate.
Cannot even imagine how shocking the pictures must have been to not have been shown in court. Didn't know about the Venables law though. Sickening that these people are given new identities and let out.
And the cost to the public is horrendous. Ian Huntley's girlfriend got a new ID, and security. But the press kept finding out where she was, and they still kept giving her new identies. Apparently £1 million was spent on protecting her. Venables, same thing. Multiple new identies, but he keeps getting caught watching/downloading kiddie porn, etc., so back to jail, only to be let out again with another new ID. It's ridiculous the amount of money spent on people who are proving to be serious offenders since being kids well into adulthood. When are the do-goodie psychiatrists, etc. realise some of these kids will never be "normal" as adults - and should be treat as such.
It was so gracious of you to describe Angela as tenderly as you did, she was a woman, she ought to have been loved and cherished, she should have been shown kindness and had a real connection to those that offered true friendship. I get that she seemed unable to help herself but she was all alone in the world. No one should suffer that. She may well have give up on herself and life after struggling against the tide for so long but she never deserved for her life to have been snuffed out in such a disgraceful, despicable way. This case is arduous and is telling of the very worst in humanity. Loneliness is a slow death. Reach out to someone if you or they are lonely, you never know you could save a life.
I could lose 6 stone and still be fine. That is absolutely sickly for an adult. These young girls laughing on that 999 call is terrifying. Simply beyond disturbing.
Whenever I hear "snap chat murders" I automatically think of the Delphi murders (Abby and Libby). I've never heard about this case before. Poor Angela. Such a horrendous ending to a sad and troubled life...
Venables and Thompson were a unique case. Children who murdered a child not long out of nappies. Unfortunately, their anonymity had to be protected. F and D were teenagers who murdered a vulnerable adult in the most horrific ways. It angers me when a murdered victim's human rights seem to end with their deaths. Where is the dignity and justice in that? They should have been tried as Adults. In the USA they'd be sat on Death Row Uncontrolled Animals get put down...End of. Keep up the good work Emma x
They didn’t even deserve not to be named or shamed, what they did to that little boy was horrible and that’s putting it lightly. They had the best life when they went away. They didn’t get punished x
@@dannybrown9580 at least they would be in jail still, in a shit cell, beaten for being a child murderer, with shit food, and no tv plushy cell with visiting hours where they allowed them to GO HOME on the damn weekends. Prison in the UK is a joke in a half… they should ROT. I feel horrid for the victims family. They spent hundreds of thousands getting new identities and one of the men keeps breaking the identity rules and they have to reissue them which costs thousands of more dollars. 😑
Not that I disagree but since 2005 the US has banned the death penalty for juveniles. Personally I feel like if you wanna do a grown up crime you should be subject to the same grown up consequences.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about the Turpin family - the oldest child held captive in the family was 23 when they finally escaped their parents I think. Just mad
Unfortunately they are living another life of hell the foster father SA some of the girls the money & clothes that where donated to them was stolen the case worker who said that she would personally see to their protect & safety didn't do her job. The state of California has failed these children twice beyond words
Honestly Emma, you really are brilliant with true crime. Got my mum hooked on your channel now lol. Can't wait for Sunday. All the very best to you and yours. Xx
The two murderesses sound like serial killers in the making. I wonder if it wasn’t Angela, was it only a matter of time before it could have been someone else? Would they have continued killing if they hadn’t been caught?
I can't seem to look at them as just "children" after what they've done. They were old enough to understand death and what they were doing. I feel they deserve no mercy from the law or public, they showed none to Angela.
Correctly labeling them children is not equivalent to claiming they didn't understand death or that they necessarily deserve mercy. It is biologically and neurologically true that they were children at the time of the heinous crime.
This case hits hard for me. My dad was an active alcoholic for years. The loveliest, most caring, gentle soul. Naturally he attracted less than savoury characters. They used his flat as a social club and he was always too afraid to ask them to leave. I never could give up on him and had many occasions where I would have to ask people to leave and deal with them. To the point where as an 18 year old I'd be sat in the car outside his flat in the early hours of the morning making sure he was safe. He had a head injury and was vulnerable. I was so proud of him when he eventually gave up the alcohol but sadly we lost him in September last year as the damage was already done. It's so hard trying to support someone in this situation and you can give your entire life up trying to do so. Ultimately if they aren't ready for the help or realise they need it, it won't happen. I hope Angela is in peace and can finally rest x
I felt so much sadness reading this. I've never known anyone personally who is alcohol dependent but my brother is a prolific drug user. I don't think people understand the desperateness family's feel to help their loved ones. Sadly my mum died this year from covid at only 54 and ive had to take her role of taking care of my brother. Its heartbreaking watching him kill himself because that is what he's doing slowly. He attempted to take his life last month because he don't want to live this way. Its tough for any addict in society especially with leeches. He's beat up and robbed often. My heart really goes out to you, what an incredible daughter and such a young age to take on that responsibility. I hope life does treat you better ❤
@@Jerseybaby19 I'm so sorry to hear of what you've been through and are going through ❤️ it's one of those things where people just don't understand fully unless they've been there. It really is a heartbreaking situation and I'm sending all the love your way ❤️ xx
My heart hurts for Angie, I can’t even imagine her final moments. Those girls unnerve me, if capable of harming such a defenseless woman as teenagers can you imagine what they’re capable of doing as adults? I’m glad they got that sentence.
Victim blaming..I excaped a serial killer. I jumped from a car naked in the middle of the desert. I flagged down a car for help. I was cut up bad. The paramedic said I was lieing. It was a trick gone bad. All the cared about was WHY I got in the car with him,not WHAT happened. Luckily no one listened to her but she was the one who transported me from the desert to the hospital telling me I was a liar..this guy was going to rape,and kill me but I lied about WHY I got in the car..it hurt my soul. The cop who came,I told him what she was saying. He held my hand and said he didn't believe her and he was happy I was okay. Victim blaming sucks. My PTSD is mostly from her. The one who was supposed to save me. I spent 30 minutes on the way to the hospital telling my story to her over and over. But she kept telling me it was a trick gone bad and you know that..she killed me
This case makes me question the "Care" of local authority and foster parents. One of the girls seems to be below average intelligence . Much more needs to be done to help young people who have suffered abuse and can turn their anger and frustration into this kind of rage. These problems will continue until more investment is made into lives of children.
I suffered worse abuse living in the care system in the UK, then I received living at home. Social services are corrupt. They lie to get the child taken away and have nobody to answer to.
I am all about upholding human rights, regardless of any personal circumstance. But I think the decision on the anonymity of the girls is such a stretch. You should not be protected from your guilty conscience. If you don't want to feel bad about what you've done, then consider NOT being violent. They obviously did not feel any remorse. I see no sense in the ruling.
I have seen this case before but I learned so many new details...thankyou for covering yet another case that raises awareness about kids who's identities are kept hidden..it is quite terrifying
Emma Kenny is so Fit . I used to watch crime documentarys just to see such a smart and beautiful woman Edit. Been someone whos suffered with significant addiction issues. Been someone whos had challenges thoughout most my adult life due to chaotic , self destructive behaviour this saddens me deeply. 😥
I will never agree with keeping their names out of the press. There is absolutely no reason to protect a viscious murderer, no matter what age. If they really can be rehabilitated (doubt it) then they can admit what they did and take their licks. If you are rehabilitated you don't try to hide what you did. You admit it, take your punishment, and strive to do better. By protecting these murderers you're telling them they did nothing wrong. "People might not like what you did, so we are going to protect you. That way you can live a nice life without harassment." That is what protecting a murderer says.
Just finished watching. Em, the work, research and the love that you put into your work is above and beyond. The way that you “coloured in “ Ange and made her a three dimensional person of intrinsic value was beautifully done. My heart aches for her. I truly hope that Ange is some where better now, some where beautifully Devine , where she is surrounded by love, love love.
This case always gives me such a deep visceral sadness whenever I hear it. I wish I could have gone back in time and given Angela the love and companionship that she craved so this didn't have to happen to her
I’m nearly crying already and we are only 24 minutes in 🤦🏻♀️. I bet that every person that has struggled with alcoholism, abandonment, any (or all) of the things mentioned here, I bet they wish that they knew an Emma Kenny during this time. I do ❤️.
Im a Geordie and at the time when this happened, being 43 now I remember the rawness like yesterday how the people of Newcastle felt. Terrible, for the majority living in this poor, deprived part of town were close knitted, friendly, warming but some lost their way like Angela and many others. Best place for these girls.....I'm all about rehabilitation were possible but not for these, jail needs to be home for them, forever.
Hi Emma, I love your presentation so much more natural than some of the other programs that over dramatise already dreadful circumstances. The way they scan folks eyes from left to right and everything is in the dark is a bit over the top. Watching you speak about people in a normal, natural way is so refreshing and not judging folk with problems. It’s like listening to a friend talk. Thank you so much.
Such a sad horrific case all round. Poor Angela, breaks my heart. I hope she is in peace now. Those 2 girls are/will always be dangerous, imo. The care system fails many!
I think it's crazy they don't release their names and they get new identities when they're released😳 Will they be on probation and watched or do they just get out with a clean slate? Thats ludicrous if they just get out with no conditions to ensure the safety of the public. I've never heard of this happening. My mind is blown. I hope Angela is resting easy in a better place💔
I just discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did! Unexpected tears but worth it! LOL I can relate to the childhood you’ve described in many ways! I was blessed enough to have many good people around me through the years. I’ve not been wise and chose as an adult to suppress my feelings. It’s been a decade since that life and I wish it upon nobody! I wish to warn others and hopes to educate and prevent others from going though what I did. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can change with time and professional help! I now find it crazy in a way to be grateful for those trials because I’ve become more empathetic and wise! Having a clear mind and intellect is daily work for someone like me. I’m 47 and now feel excited to my future. My heart goes out to those who for one reason or another don’t receive that love I have. So when I see a need (within my own home first) I speak up and act more. I try not to offend in the process but often it’s going to happen but it’s to become better and live a more joyful life. Thank you! You’re such a wise and caring person! 🙏🏻❤️🤗
Hi Emma, I don’t know if you read your comments or if I should email but you should research the infamous Irish case of “Ana Kriegel”. It’s still very fresh in our minds and it’s truly horrifying. The anonymity, drawings of violence and media driven issues is very similar to the Snapchat killers. Great video.
As someone who was abused as a child, raised in the system and turned to drug and alcohol abuse as a teenager and into my early twenties I have never and would never consider inflicting harm or death on another. I hate that people that have been through the system seem to get a reputation as turning into a monster because of what they have been through. Yes it can make you angry at the world but it doesn't make it ok for you to take it out on others. Their upbringing doesn't justify their behaviour!
You’ve given such a big insight into the case that you can’t get online. You’ve helped me understand better the motive, the background of these girls and the victim, and why their identities have been hidden. When I heard of this crime on tv I couldn’t believe how it was barely mentioned on the news. For a 13 and 14 year old to wandering the streets with no one caring for their return… society has failed these girls. I know these girls are vicious and dangerous and should be kept behind bars but it’s shocking how young people can be walking the streets like a ticking time bomb
No justice at all in the UK, it makes me sick and ashamed of this country! We need to get a grip and bring in the death penalty, they should never walk the streets again! Murder is murder whether its done by an adult or a child, they are evil regardless and should be locked up for good.
Brilliant, brilliant intro. Thank you for raising these issues. 10 years in recovery from alcoholism here and 15 in recovery from self harm. Still working on the loveless childhood that triggered it all.
I was in care for a long and even though I was surrounded by people. I felt so alone and was so unwell but I have a better life now. It’s possible aha.
protecting their identity regardless of the offenders age equates to condoning this type of behavior. PERIOD. humans at all points need to be held accountable, the fact that Angela’s life both before and after death was completely disregarded is such an absolute sham on her legacy & that of the justice system. allowing her murderer’s to avoid shame & identification is downright unfair. that being said id love to see your analysis of mary bell!
My mother was murdered in 2002. Its not a very 'exciting' case but I was only 7 (almost 8) at the time and there was an investigation into the mental health care my dad (the murderer) received just prior. It would be interesting to see it covered however I understand its quite straight forward. My Mam was called Elizabeth Gallagher, the murderer, my dad, Thomas Gallagher. Shiremoor, Newcastle.
Im sorry about ur parents. Ur moms story maybe able to help someone. Regardless her story deserves to be told. 🙏🏽thank u for sharing a little here. RIP Elizabeth
I know this type of character so well I'm 54 and have lived all my life in the area where we always had Angela it's heartbreaking to know she had zero self worth and must of felt so unloved thanks for this case emma you presented it with warmth ❤️
I knew a lady like Angie while I was growing up. She lived in the block of flats next to ours. Vanessa her name was, She was a lovely sweet lady just like Angie. She used to give me and my cousin 20p each to "get some penny sweets" but some people on our estate were nasty to her, they'd chuck rubbish at her and call her a piss head or smack head (she didn't even take drugs) once she was stumbling around the street drunk and a young lad shoved her over into the road with an oncoming car, it near ran her over. I heard on Facebook she died about 5yrs ago, her liver gave up on her. People like her and Angie don't deserve to be treated like that 💔
Thank you so much for once again managing to put the victim (and compassion for the victim) at the centre of this case- although you touch upon Angela having never really found her purpose in life, I think that her story and the utterly tragic circumstances in which she died mean that her legacy will be that if there are opportunities to get help, however small, they should be seized. She was definitely a woman whose life had intrinsic value, she deserved so much more (especially as a child) and nobody deserves to live the life that she lived or to die the way that she died. This was an utterly senseless murder. It is even more shocking when you consider the fact that her murderers were so young. This episode raises serious questions about the care system and how it can play a part in criminalising young people, as well as how it can play a part in making children who go through the care system feel like they have no futures. I believe that both girls probably did see a part of their future lives mirrored in Angela. The fact that they attacked her with a mirror speaks volumes. R.I.P Angela, I hope that wherever you are now, you are at peace.
.... In my opinion there's absolutely no question that if their identity is exposed, they will be targeted both upon release but even more so from other inmates. Even in the prison system, general population has a major problem with people who prey on the weak and vulnerable, especially those who have physical or mental health issues. Will find more morality in prison than either of these will ever be capable of....
Brilliant Emma quite chilling though that these could could be walking amongst us in years to come persoally feel they should be locked up forever as the bulger boys should have
IMO those evil cowards brutally killed Angela simply because they could... frail and vulnerable like crushing a kitten underfoot... not because they saw their future selves in her... she was worth a thousand of those two savages. I can understand the outpouring of rage in those messages you read out. Unfortunately vile açts bring out the worst reactions in normally placid people like myself. This story was harrowing.... RIP sweet Angela 💖
You said it. Grief is not just about loosing a love one. Grief is definately about not getting what you should have as a child such as emotional connection and protection. Live it daily.
I was in the care system from age 1.5yrs til a day before my 18th so I can fully relate to kids in care getting criminal convictions because they have intense mental health issues and have outbursts. I’m now 28, diagnosed with Autism, attachment disorder, Borderline personality disorder, acute depression with anxiety and PTSD. I wish I had a normal childhood because I doubt I would have suffered with any of these conditions otherwise. Love your content Emma! Keep up the good work xx
Please do an update on the two boys who killed the two year old. This will piss you off. One didn't do well at all. He was pampered while in ( jail.. LoL) when in there he had sex with a teacher. He gets out and is arrested I believe twice for child porn..the other kid I believe is trying. Married and no arrests..the killer we're protected but not the victim..
Hi Emma, don't know if you will read this but I just wanted to say I have become hooked by your channel! I am not normally someone who listens to true crime stories as they're generally just way too harrowing for me but you present these cases with expertise, passion and depth, and in such a thought-provoking way that I've found myself binge-watching your videos. I'm also in the UK and a lot of these cases I do remember hearing on the news at the time and being utterly horrified by them. In this case, your unpicking of the information given at the trial ended up chilling me most of all - the sheer immaturity of at least one of the girls - such a low level of awareness and thought. Anyway, thanks for doing what you do.
This reminds me of the American case of Cindy Collier & Shirley Wolf - 2 teenage girls who savagely murdered an innocent elderly lady who simply let them in because they asked to use her phone. Those girls had really troubled backgrounds too and hadn’t known each other long before they committed the murder
I’d love to hear you cover Shanda Schearer. You do cases so much justice in you deep dive into mental health and the struggles of these younger killers. You’d do this case brilliantly. James Bulger, Snapchat killers, Shanda Schearer all heartbreaking and interesting crimes committed by children. We may never know the real why? Behind these horrible murders.
Loving your content each and every time I watch :) I've watched you in tons of crime shows before but so chuffed that you have your own platform now and you can go into more depth :) x
There was an independent film released in the mid 90s called “Fun”. It was about 2 young teenage girls who go on a crime spree one day, which leads to them brutally murdering an older lady. It was shocking and stuck with me for a long time afterwards. Hearing the girls giggling on the phone with emergency services in this case made me think of that film. For the film characters it was fun to take things too far and to release their pent up anger and frustration. They pushed one another along so that they did more together than they would’ve done on their own. I think that’s what happened in this case.
Thank you for your compassionate and empathic telling of this sad story Emma, the world was too hard for broken souls like Angela and you really get that across🤗
That's such a good point you raised about some people finding prison better than anything that normal life in society offers. There are literally thousands of people who feel like this nowadays, weather its because of homelessness or loneliness it's really sad. Thanks Emma, I tune in every Wednesday and Sunday (or soon as I can afterwards) really enjoy the delivery as well as the content. 👍😁
Hi Emma,This was harrowing to listen to and made me fill up.Poor poor Angela, Her giving the kids chocolate bars is so poignant and was a really lovely trait.youre so compassionate,Emma.I love your channel xx
Memory is always there. Age is but a number, may they live with consequences or will they forget.sorry Em I have no empathy for them. 30 years old and out, I don't want them in my neighbourhood-do you? I hate the legal system, its really unjust. A Life sentence in Britain is just maybe a long dream not a sentence.
I worked in a hostel for years and people requiring attention via calling the services is very, very common, a daily occurrence in fact. It's typically alcoholics who do it. It's so sad and unless the individual wants to change, there's little that can be done.
They should release the kids names! The reason being, people need to steer clear from them.. even when they are out of jail.. What they did to this woman was horrific, horrible, sickening, just all around wrong! Another question.. how come none of her Neighbors helped her? Of course people would hear the excessive beatings..
Yet another great/sad case Emma thank you. But me myself got very angry with this case. Why do we carry on making excuses for theses young kids? By all accounts they seemed to of had some sort support from many associations. But is this another case of the social services letting them down? There isn't anyone else to blame but these two girls.This poor woman was bloody let down by everyone!! and even now shes just another murdered person by unknown assailants that thought it was funny and just having a laugh!!! We should be told their identities why should they be allowed the freedom of walking the streets with new names,lives. Poor Angela cant! Our courts are soft on such cases. I believe when they do eventually get released they'll brag about their crime and be known and will certainly do other crimes.xx
It really DOES take a village to raise a child, on the other hand if a child grows up ignored by that village and is treated coldly by the people in the village: that child will burn the village down just to feel some warmth.
OH EM…you ALWAYS look beautiful & I absolutely love to see you In your groovy t~shirts BUT my darlin’ Emma you look Bloody Gorgeous today in this episode! Absolutely Gorgeous …Breathtaking 🤩🥰!
Omg I truly appreciate your kind words about vulnerable people. I was a working girl for over 20 years and have been a addict for over 30 years and you'd be amazed at the judgemental attitudes of most people. so thank you
Too many stones thrown from inside glass houses…Yes there are truly ignorant, nasty people abounding. I do think there are often so many who ridicule others to deflect attention from their own struggles or perceived inequities. If we could only learn to accept own own faults and misgivings, possibly we might be able to drum up the needed empathy we all so desperately need in the roughest of times. Warmest regards, Hannah and the best of days to come to you.
The road to recovery is not an easy one, it's not easy to overcome addition. I wish you well. Keep going because your worth it.
If we (people) were a little more caring and understanding Britain wouldn't be so broken and vulnerable people would have a chance to heal and live out their potential.
This was shocking and heartbreaking in so many ways....made me so sad
Hannah I was a working girl for 22 years and a crack and heroin addict for 24 years. I'm 41. I've been trying to stay clean and I'm near the end of my second year of my degree. It's certainly not easy! Just a kind word and a smile can go a long way. I can't stand it when people judge others when they don't have a clue what they've been through or how they got to where they are. Stay strong 💪❤️🙏🏻
Angela was tortured & murdered by 2 sociopaths. These 2 are defective. They will never have empathy, compassion, or conscience.
That quote: "If you don't feel loved, it's hard to find worth. And if you don't find worth, it's hard to find reason."
Wow! That is so profound and so eloquently described.
Hartlepool born and bred here, whilst Angela had her problems she wouldn't ever hurt anyone, I knew her personally and she was always kind to me, even when totally inebriated. Rip Angela x
I remember her in Darlington, Noone ever gave her a chance, Yes she was kind and wouldn't have hurt anyone, she was just extremely vulnerable. She deserved a better life than she got.
Me too, she was a lovely human being, wouldn't hurt a fly 😭
Not very far away at all and this broke my heart. This was a senseless evil murder.
I ended up in Hartlepool when I was going through a really, really bad patch. It was a terrifying place. There was a guy called Danny who kinda looked out for me. He had good taste in Music, and warned me about how dangerous the guy I was staying with was.
But that place....still have bad dreams about it.
@@Tidgy did she go to gad? Her face is familiar to me..unless I imagine it..
When you spoke about her posting chocolate bars through for the kids made me feel so sad. Imagine having one of the most unfair and tragic starts in life and still trying to make good starts for those youngest. What a lovely thing for her to do. ❤
Emma I cannot explain how grateful I am that you’ve covered this case. I’m from Hartlepool, and remember so clearly ever detail of this horrendous crime.
What happened to Angela Wrightson was beyond sad and disgusting. And knowing the ages and that it was two school girls who carried it out makes it all worse.
Thank you again.
And I love you and all your videos.
No way I live in Hartlepool too aha. I didn’t live here then but it’s still heartbreaking

@@SarahCarroll1987 I might have missed it, but do you know what sentences the two got?
@@tammyallen3813 hello Tammy, I replied straight away but it doesn’t seem to have worked. If it has and you’ve ended up with two replies I apologise.
What I’d said in the original reply was…
The girls’ sentences were quite confusing due to their ages.
But from the court transcripts it seems as though they were given a minimum sentence of 15 years. Therefore there is no guarantee they will be released at 15 years it will all depend on their actions at the time.
“For the murder of Angela Wrightson, I sentence each of you to detention during Her Majesty’s Pleasure. The minimum term I impose in each case is one of 15 years.”
If it works I’m going to post a link to the transcripts of Sentencing remarks of Mr Justice Globe, Leeds Crown Court 7 April 2016.
It’s a really interesting read!!

I used to be alcohol dependant, I'm now sober for 5years and counting 👍
I too am suffering from the effects of damage done by drinking. All kinds of damage that can't be fixed by my now staying sober
Including TBI
That's incredible 💜 Sending you hugs and warmth
💛💛💛
I'm struggling myself , I'm ready to give up , keep up the good work x
Congratulations!You've something that is really hard to do! You're doing amazing, stick with it! 💜😍💜😍xx
Great believe me u are doing so well I'm 20 year's sober so keep up with the great work ☺️❤️ x
This happened down the road from my nana, such a horrific attack. I used to see her out and about hartlepool Town centre, she was a face everyone knew
R. I. P Angela
Sweet Words
Um, I feel like I've waited my entire life for someone to say that to me. I know it wasn't directed to me. But the part in the beginning of the video when you're talking about grief and that she didn't necessarily choose to live that way, moreso that life just happened to her. Um. I've been through a lot as a child/young adult. I feel like my entire life I've been grieving. And no one's ever acknowledged that it wasn't my fault or I didn't deserve it. Idk I've just never heard those words before and it's incredibly comforting even if it's indirectly. Maybe someday I'll hear it in person. Thank you for saying that. Everyone no matter who they are should hear that.
Let it all go hun, it's not your fault. Sending love from Ireland 🍀🇮🇪🤗💜
@@margaretdavis3858 Thank you 🥺💕🤗
I totally get you. It touched me too.
I feel your pain, literally. I really do xx
@@Rylinu @Hollie Clayton I'm sorry you both know the feeling. But you're right, it is nice knowing you're not alone and I'll take ANY support I can get haha. ❤️
12 yrs sober here. To know what that poor, beautiful soul went through absolutely breaks me. I know what it feels like to believe you’re not wanted. I know what it feels like to believe you don’t matter. To know that she was tortured to death without ever having known love will haunt me. I only wish that, wherever she is, she’s feeling safe, loved, respected, and held in the arms of peace. As for the vile children who did this? There are no words except to say that sometimes pure evil exists without cause or provocation. Theirs are the faces of evil incarnate.
Absolutely..the devil spawn walks amongst us..
Lol, I have never believed I was unwanted. I know I was. I was told this.
Congratulations Lisa I am 20 yrs sober and I appreciate how hard it is to get sober. I am always here for u if u need support of a chat x
Cannot even imagine how shocking the pictures must have been to not have been shown in court. Didn't know about the Venables law though. Sickening that these people are given new identities and let out.
And the cost to the public is horrendous. Ian Huntley's girlfriend got a new ID, and security. But the press kept finding out where she was, and they still kept giving her new identies. Apparently £1 million was spent on protecting her. Venables, same thing. Multiple new identies, but he keeps getting caught watching/downloading kiddie porn, etc., so back to jail, only to be let out again with another new ID. It's ridiculous the amount of money spent on people who are proving to be serious offenders since being kids well into adulthood. When are the do-goodie psychiatrists, etc. realise some of these kids will never be "normal" as adults - and should be treat as such.
It was so gracious of you to describe Angela as tenderly as you did, she was a woman, she ought to have been loved and cherished, she should have been shown kindness and had a real connection to those that offered true friendship.
I get that she seemed unable to help herself but she was all alone in the world. No one should suffer that.
She may well have give up on herself and life after struggling against the tide for so long but she never deserved for her life to have been snuffed out in such a disgraceful, despicable way.
This case is arduous and is telling of the very worst in humanity.
Loneliness is a slow death. Reach out to someone if you or they are lonely, you never know you could save a life.
I could lose 6 stone and still be fine. That is absolutely sickly for an adult. These young girls laughing on that 999 call is terrifying. Simply beyond disturbing.
Whenever I hear "snap chat murders" I automatically think of the Delphi murders (Abby and Libby). I've never heard about this case before. Poor Angela. Such a horrendous ending to a sad and troubled life...
Venables and Thompson were a unique case. Children who murdered a child not long out of nappies. Unfortunately, their anonymity had to be protected. F and D were teenagers who murdered a vulnerable adult in the most horrific ways. It angers me when a murdered victim's human rights seem to end with their deaths. Where is the dignity and justice in that? They should have been tried as Adults. In the USA they'd be sat on Death Row Uncontrolled Animals get put down...End of. Keep up the good work Emma x
They didn’t even deserve not to be named or shamed, what they did to that little boy was horrible and that’s putting it lightly. They had the best life when they went away. They didn’t get punished x
No sorry, even the US doesn't execute minors bud. It'd be life without parole over there.
@@dannybrown9580 at least they would be in jail still, in a shit cell, beaten for being a child murderer, with shit food, and no tv plushy cell with visiting hours where they allowed them to GO HOME on the damn weekends. Prison in the UK is a joke in a half… they should ROT. I feel horrid for the victims family. They spent hundreds of thousands getting new identities and one of the men keeps breaking the identity rules and they have to reissue them which costs thousands of more dollars. 😑
Venables reoffended, as well.
Not that I disagree but since 2005 the US has banned the death penalty for juveniles. Personally I feel like if you wanna do a grown up crime you should be subject to the same grown up consequences.
Absolutely disgusting pure evil what they done to that poor defenceless woman so heartbreaking
Have a look at the Suzanne Capper murder, that too was horrific, it happened about the same time as the Bulger case so didn't get much media attention
I'd love to hear what you have to say about the Turpin family - the oldest child held captive in the family was 23 when they finally escaped their parents I think. Just mad
Unfortunately they are living another life of hell the foster father SA some of the girls the money & clothes that where donated to them was stolen the case worker who said that she would personally see to their protect & safety didn't do her job. The state of California has failed these children twice beyond words
You have such a compassionate way of exploring these stories and explaining the vulnerability of the victims.
Honestly Emma, you really are brilliant with true crime. Got my mum hooked on your channel now lol. Can't wait for Sunday. All the very best to you and yours. Xx
The two murderesses sound like serial killers in the making. I wonder if it wasn’t Angela, was it only a matter of time before it could have been someone else?
Would they have continued killing if they hadn’t been caught?
THIS
Absolutely. On both
And providing them anonymity, provides them with the opportunity to do it again.
I can't seem to look at them as just "children" after what they've done.
They were old enough to understand death and what they were doing. I feel they deserve no mercy from the law or public, they showed none to Angela.
100% agree
Correctly labeling them children is not equivalent to claiming they didn't understand death or that they necessarily deserve mercy. It is biologically and neurologically true that they were children at the time of the heinous crime.
@@xebek and that they will remain children for the rest of their lives.
@@xebek obviously they were children. I said I can't look at them that way. I look at them as murderers.
Exactly I agree they don’t deserve anything x
I was a fall down drunk for over twenty years. I'm sober for over 3 years now but I remember reading this a while ago it broke my heart
This case hits hard for me. My dad was an active alcoholic for years. The loveliest, most caring, gentle soul. Naturally he attracted less than savoury characters. They used his flat as a social club and he was always too afraid to ask them to leave. I never could give up on him and had many occasions where I would have to ask people to leave and deal with them. To the point where as an 18 year old I'd be sat in the car outside his flat in the early hours of the morning making sure he was safe. He had a head injury and was vulnerable. I was so proud of him when he eventually gave up the alcohol but sadly we lost him in September last year as the damage was already done. It's so hard trying to support someone in this situation and you can give your entire life up trying to do so. Ultimately if they aren't ready for the help or realise they need it, it won't happen. I hope Angela is in peace and can finally rest x
I felt so much sadness reading this. I've never known anyone personally who is alcohol dependent but my brother is a prolific drug user. I don't think people understand the desperateness family's feel to help their loved ones. Sadly my mum died this year from covid at only 54 and ive had to take her role of taking care of my brother. Its heartbreaking watching him kill himself because that is what he's doing slowly. He attempted to take his life last month because he don't want to live this way. Its tough for any addict in society especially with leeches. He's beat up and robbed often.
My heart really goes out to you, what an incredible daughter and such a young age to take on that responsibility. I hope life does treat you better ❤
@@Jerseybaby19 I'm so sorry to hear of what you've been through and are going through ❤️ it's one of those things where people just don't understand fully unless they've been there. It really is a heartbreaking situation and I'm sending all the love your way ❤️ xx
I am not able to put into words how good of a daughter you are. I hope you are moving forward and taking care of yourself.
@@lekkki1 thank you so much ❤️ that really means so much to hear, it's been heartbreaking but I'm trying my best xx
My heart hurts for Angie, I can’t even imagine her final moments. Those girls unnerve me, if capable of harming such a defenseless woman as teenagers can you imagine what they’re capable of doing as adults? I’m glad they got that sentence.
Victim blaming..I excaped a serial killer. I jumped from a car naked in the middle of the desert. I flagged down a car for help. I was cut up bad. The paramedic said I was lieing. It was a trick gone bad. All the cared about was WHY I got in the car with him,not WHAT happened. Luckily no one listened to her but she was the one who transported me from the desert to the hospital telling me I was a liar..this guy was going to rape,and kill me but I lied about WHY I got in the car..it hurt my soul. The cop who came,I told him what she was saying. He held my hand and said he didn't believe her and he was happy I was okay. Victim blaming sucks. My PTSD is mostly from her. The one who was supposed to save me. I spent 30 minutes on the way to the hospital telling my story to her over and over. But she kept telling me it was a trick gone bad and you know that..she killed me
This case makes me question the "Care" of local authority and foster parents. One of the girls seems to be below average intelligence . Much more needs to be done to help young people who have suffered abuse and can turn their anger and frustration into this kind of rage. These problems will continue until more investment is made into lives of children.
We two
Maybe
Believe me, the local authority in Hartlepool is horrendous.
They could give the foster money to the parents & the majority of cases would be closed as most kids are in care for neglect, not abuse
I suffered worse abuse living in the care system in the UK, then I received living at home. Social services are corrupt. They lie to get the child taken away and have nobody to answer to.
I dont agree with the ruling not showing their names - where is the accountabilty, what about safety of others once they are out
Totally agree
I have a theory of who the killers might be...
@@zaracummins4481 what is your theory ??
@@kialondon8879 id say but if I'm right I don't want law enforcement up my ass. But idk dm me and maybe I can tell you
@@zaracummins4481 definitely what’s your ig handle xxx
I am all about upholding human rights, regardless of any personal circumstance. But I think the decision on the anonymity of the girls is such a stretch. You should not be protected from your guilty conscience. If you don't want to feel bad about what you've done, then consider NOT being violent. They obviously did not feel any remorse. I see no sense in the ruling.
I have seen this case before but I learned so many new details...thankyou for covering yet another case that raises awareness about kids who's identities are kept hidden..it is quite terrifying
Emma Kenny is so Fit . I used to watch crime documentarys just to see such a smart and beautiful woman
Edit. Been someone whos suffered with significant addiction issues. Been someone whos had challenges thoughout most my adult life due to chaotic , self destructive behaviour this saddens me deeply. 😥
I will never agree with keeping their names out of the press. There is absolutely no reason to protect a viscious murderer, no matter what age. If they really can be rehabilitated (doubt it) then they can admit what they did and take their licks. If you are rehabilitated you don't try to hide what you did. You admit it, take your punishment, and strive to do better. By protecting these murderers you're telling them they did nothing wrong. "People might not like what you did, so we are going to protect you. That way you can live a nice life without harassment." That is what protecting a murderer says.
Just finished watching. Em, the work, research and the love that you put into your work is above and beyond. The way that you “coloured in “ Ange and made her a three dimensional person of intrinsic value was beautifully done. My heart aches for her. I truly hope that Ange is some where better now, some where beautifully Devine , where she is surrounded by love, love love.
This case always gives me such a deep visceral sadness whenever I hear it. I wish I could have gone back in time and given Angela the love and companionship that she craved so this didn't have to happen to her
I’m nearly crying already and we are only 24 minutes in 🤦🏻♀️. I bet that every person that has struggled with alcoholism, abandonment, any (or all) of the things mentioned here, I bet they wish that they knew an Emma Kenny during this time. I do ❤️.
Im a Geordie and at the time when this happened, being 43 now I remember the rawness like yesterday how the people of Newcastle felt. Terrible, for the majority living in this poor, deprived part of town were close knitted, friendly, warming but some lost their way like Angela and many others. Best place for these girls.....I'm all about rehabilitation were possible but not for these, jail needs to be home for them, forever.
R I P ANGELA 💔🙏🏽😔😢
I’ve never seen a true crime channel cover the Derek Bird case. It was a big deal here in Cumbria. I’d like to know what exactly lead up to it all.
I need to stop taking my sleeping tablet b4 I watch you Emma. I've started nodding off near the end and the dreams are getting too wierd x
Hi Emma, I love your presentation so much more natural than some of the other programs that over dramatise already dreadful circumstances. The way they scan folks eyes from left to right and everything is in the dark is a bit over the top. Watching you speak about people in a normal, natural way is so refreshing and not judging folk with problems. It’s like listening to a friend talk. Thank you so much.
Thankyou so much for as ever delivering a horrible tale in your usual unbiased, compassionate style.Your are one level headed cookie 🍪
Such a sad horrific case all round. Poor Angela, breaks my heart. I hope she is in peace now. Those 2 girls are/will always be dangerous, imo. The care system fails many!
I think it's crazy they don't release their names and they get new identities when they're released😳 Will they be on probation and watched or do they just get out with a clean slate? Thats ludicrous if they just get out with no conditions to ensure the safety of the public. I've never heard of this happening. My mind is blown.
I hope Angela is resting easy in a better place💔
Hi all, looking forward to another great video...I am a retired Met. Pol Cop thought I would have had enough but Emma makes you come back.
I just discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did! Unexpected tears but worth it! LOL I can relate to the childhood you’ve described in many ways! I was blessed enough to have many good people around me through the years. I’ve not been wise and chose as an adult to suppress my feelings. It’s been a decade since that life and I wish it upon nobody! I wish to warn others and hopes to educate and prevent others from going though what I did. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can change with time and professional help! I now find it crazy in a way to be grateful for those trials because I’ve become more empathetic and wise! Having a clear mind and intellect is daily work for someone like me. I’m 47 and now feel excited to my future. My heart goes out to those who for one reason or another don’t receive that love I have. So when I see a need (within my own home first) I speak up and act more. I try not to offend in the process but often it’s going to happen but it’s to become better and live a more joyful life. Thank you! You’re such a wise and caring person! 🙏🏻❤️🤗
Shame nobody gave Angela flowers when she could see them.
This comment has so much meaning in its simplicity ♥️
Hi Emma, I don’t know if you read your comments or if I should email but you should research the infamous Irish case of “Ana Kriegel”. It’s still very fresh in our minds and it’s truly horrifying. The anonymity, drawings of violence and media driven issues is very similar to the Snapchat killers.
Great video.
As someone who was abused as a child, raised in the system and turned to drug and alcohol abuse as a teenager and into my early twenties I have never and would never consider inflicting harm or death on another. I hate that people that have been through the system seem to get a reputation as turning into a monster because of what they have been through. Yes it can make you angry at the world but it doesn't make it ok for you to take it out on others. Their upbringing doesn't justify their behaviour!
I'm from the UK and hadn't heard of this case! Love that you cover cases that are not as well known! Great job as always! I'm a huge fan! X
You’ve given such a big insight into the case that you can’t get online. You’ve helped me understand better the motive, the background of these girls and the victim, and why their identities have been hidden. When I heard of this crime on tv I couldn’t believe how it was barely mentioned on the news. For a 13 and 14 year old to wandering the streets with no one caring for their return… society has failed these girls. I know these girls are vicious and dangerous and should be kept behind bars but it’s shocking how young people can be walking the streets like a ticking time bomb
You can convey thoughts and facts so powerfully.
Great job!
No justice at all in the UK, it makes me sick and ashamed of this country! We need to get a grip and bring in the death penalty, they should never walk the streets again! Murder is murder whether its done by an adult or a child, they are evil regardless and should be locked up for good.
Brilliant, brilliant intro. Thank you for raising these issues. 10 years in recovery from alcoholism here and 15 in recovery from self harm. Still working on the loveless childhood that triggered it all.
I was in care for a long and even though I was surrounded by people. I felt so alone and was so unwell but I have a better life now. It’s possible aha.
protecting their identity regardless of the offenders age equates to condoning this type of behavior. PERIOD. humans at all points need to be held accountable, the fact that Angela’s life both before and after death was completely disregarded is such an absolute sham on her legacy & that of the justice system. allowing her murderer’s to avoid shame & identification is downright unfair.
that being said id love to see your analysis of mary bell!
My mother was murdered in 2002. Its not a very 'exciting' case but I was only 7 (almost 8) at the time and there was an investigation into the mental health care my dad (the murderer) received just prior. It would be interesting to see it covered however I understand its quite straight forward. My Mam was called Elizabeth Gallagher, the murderer, my dad, Thomas Gallagher. Shiremoor, Newcastle.
Im sorry about ur parents. Ur moms story maybe able to help someone. Regardless her story deserves to be told. 🙏🏽thank u for sharing a little here. RIP Elizabeth
Emma - "you never know you might one be serving them a cup of tea in your house"
That's why I don't invite people to my house 😂😂
Alcohol numbs the pain and you drink to keep the pain away and you don't need to face your emotions as alcohol numbs it 😔
I know this type of character so well I'm 54 and have lived all my life in the area where we always had Angela it's heartbreaking to know she had zero self worth and must of felt so unloved thanks for this case emma you presented it with warmth ❤️
I knew a lady like Angie while I was growing up. She lived in the block of flats next to ours. Vanessa her name was, She was a lovely sweet lady just like Angie. She used to give me and my cousin 20p each to "get some penny sweets" but some people on our estate were nasty to her, they'd chuck rubbish at her and call her a piss head or smack head (she didn't even take drugs) once she was stumbling around the street drunk and a young lad shoved her over into the road with an oncoming car, it near ran her over. I heard on Facebook she died about 5yrs ago, her liver gave up on her. People like her and Angie don't deserve to be treated like that 💔
Thank you so much for once again managing to put the victim (and compassion for the victim) at the centre of this case- although you touch upon Angela having never really found her purpose in life, I think that her story and the utterly tragic circumstances in which she died mean that her legacy will be that if there are opportunities to get help, however small, they should be seized. She was definitely a woman whose life had intrinsic value, she deserved so much more (especially as a child) and nobody deserves to live the life that she lived or to die the way that she died. This was an utterly senseless murder. It is even more shocking when you consider the fact that her murderers were so young.
This episode raises serious questions about the care system and how it can play a part in criminalising young people, as well as how it can play a part in making children who go through the care system feel like they have no futures. I believe that both girls probably did see a part of their future lives mirrored in Angela. The fact that they attacked her with a mirror speaks volumes.
R.I.P Angela, I hope that wherever you are now, you are at peace.
Thankyou Emma for telling Angela's story 💖
.... In my opinion there's absolutely no question that if their identity is exposed, they will be targeted both upon release but even more so from other inmates.
Even in the prison system, general population has a major problem with people who prey on the weak and vulnerable, especially those who have physical or mental health issues.
Will find more morality in prison than either of these will ever be capable of....
Haven’t heard of this case before, so glad your covered it now Emma x
Brilliant Emma quite chilling though that these could could be walking amongst us in years to come persoally feel they should be locked up forever as the bulger boys should have
IMO those evil cowards brutally killed Angela simply because they could... frail and vulnerable like crushing a kitten underfoot... not because they saw their future selves in her... she was worth a thousand of those two savages. I can understand the outpouring of rage in those messages you read out. Unfortunately vile açts bring out the worst reactions in normally placid people like myself. This story was harrowing.... RIP sweet Angela 💖
You said it. Grief is not just about loosing a love one. Grief is definately about not getting what you should have as a child such as emotional connection and protection. Live it daily.
I was in the care system from age 1.5yrs til a day before my 18th so I can fully relate to kids in care getting criminal convictions because they have intense mental health issues and have outbursts. I’m now 28, diagnosed with Autism, attachment disorder, Borderline personality disorder, acute depression with anxiety and PTSD. I wish I had a normal childhood because I doubt I would have suffered with any of these conditions otherwise. Love your content Emma! Keep up the good work xx
Please do an update on the two boys who killed the two year old. This will piss you off. One didn't do well at all. He was pampered while in ( jail.. LoL) when in there he had sex with a teacher. He gets out and is arrested I believe twice for child porn..the other kid I believe is trying. Married and no arrests..the killer we're protected but not the victim..
They hid when people came in they knew exactly what they were doing .
Exactly how can’t anyone defend the girls. X
Hi Emma, don't know if you will read this but I just wanted to say I have become hooked by your channel! I am not normally someone who listens to true crime stories as they're generally just way too harrowing for me but you present these cases with expertise, passion and depth, and in such a thought-provoking way that I've found myself binge-watching your videos. I'm also in the UK and a lot of these cases I do remember hearing on the news at the time and being utterly horrified by them. In this case, your unpicking of the information given at the trial ended up chilling me most of all - the sheer immaturity of at least one of the girls - such a low level of awareness and thought. Anyway, thanks for doing what you do.
I try to read every comment Jade. I’m glad you are Enjoying my channel. I have so much more to come. Em x
This reminds me of the American case of Cindy Collier & Shirley Wolf - 2 teenage girls who savagely murdered an innocent elderly lady who simply let them in because they asked to use her phone. Those girls had really troubled backgrounds too and hadn’t known each other long before they committed the murder
Super presentation Em!!! Being from the states I love hearing about cases far and away!!!
I used to hang on the corner by the offie, ask a adult to get us 20/20 lol oh my days.
Ommmph , 20/20 😃😃 , also Thunderbird and Merrydown cider 😂 x
Your insight, experience and sheer ease of conversing is so enjoyable...thank you Emma for another lovely video! 🥰
I’d love to hear you cover Shanda Schearer. You do cases so much justice in you deep dive into mental health and the struggles of these younger killers. You’d do this case brilliantly.
James Bulger, Snapchat killers, Shanda Schearer all heartbreaking and interesting crimes committed by children. We may never know the real why? Behind these horrible murders.
Erm EVERY one of them came from deprived and abusive homes......kinda a clue
A Monroe not all of them
Loving your content each and every time I watch :) I've watched you in tons of crime shows before but so chuffed that you have your own platform now and you can go into more depth :) x
ive been binging your videos for three days now. I LOVE your content
I love this ❤️❤️ loads too come xx
There was an independent film released in the mid 90s called “Fun”. It was about 2 young teenage girls who go on a crime spree one day, which leads to them brutally murdering an older lady. It was shocking and stuck with me for a long time afterwards.
Hearing the girls giggling on the phone with emergency services in this case made me think of that film. For the film characters it was fun to take things too far and to release their pent up anger and frustration. They pushed one another along so that they did more together than they would’ve done on their own. I think that’s what happened in this case.
I really enjoy your take on these cases. You always bring something new to the table. Thank you Emma 😊
Powerful and thought provoking I 100% agree Emma,delivered with passion and so professional x
This deserves a rewatch.thank you
Thank you for your compassionate and empathic telling of this sad story Emma, the world was too hard for broken souls like Angela and you really get that across🤗
That's such a good point you raised about some people finding prison better than anything that normal life in society offers. There are literally thousands of people who feel like this nowadays, weather its because of homelessness or loneliness it's really sad. Thanks Emma, I tune in every Wednesday and Sunday (or soon as I can afterwards) really enjoy the delivery as well as the content. 👍😁
Hi Emma,This was harrowing to listen to and made me fill up.Poor poor Angela, Her giving the kids chocolate bars is so poignant and was a really lovely trait.youre so compassionate,Emma.I love your channel xx
Tears😪😪😪 posting chocolate bars a heart of gold buried in all her chaos ❤
I missed most of it live😞 Looking forward to watching it. Thank you Emma.
Thank you for all your work & for uploading twice a week, I totally hang out for each new episode ♥️
African proverb: The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth 😭
Memory is always there. Age is but a number, may they live with consequences or will they forget.sorry Em I have no empathy for them. 30 years old and out, I don't want them in my neighbourhood-do you? I hate the legal system, its really unjust. A Life sentence in Britain is just maybe a long dream not a sentence.
I dont think anyone in the UK has covered the case of Katie autry. It would be amazing if you covered it @Emma Kenny
Xxx
Loved this episode. I totally can relate to her pain. I’ve felt all those things. Grief and loneliness is important to address. 👍🏻🌻❤️
Hope your doing ok..
I love how you tell us about her life..lts so sad ☹️
I worked in a hostel for years and people requiring attention via calling the services is very, very common, a daily occurrence in fact. It's typically alcoholics who do it. It's so sad and unless the individual wants to change, there's little that can be done.
They should release the kids names! The reason being, people need to steer clear from them.. even when they are out of jail..
What they did to this woman was horrific, horrible, sickening, just all around wrong!
Another question.. how come none of her Neighbors helped her? Of course people would hear the excessive beatings..
Yet another great/sad case Emma thank you. But me myself got very angry with this case. Why do we carry on making excuses for theses young kids? By all accounts they seemed to of had some sort support from many associations. But is this another case of the social services letting them down? There isn't anyone else to blame but these two girls.This poor woman was bloody let down by everyone!! and even now shes just another murdered person by unknown assailants that thought it was funny and just having a laugh!!! We should be told their identities why should they be allowed the freedom of walking the streets with new names,lives. Poor Angela cant! Our courts are soft on such cases. I believe when they do eventually get released they'll brag about their crime and be known and will certainly do other crimes.xx
It really DOES take a village to raise a child, on the other hand if a child grows up ignored by that village and is treated coldly by the people in the village: that child will burn the village down just to feel some warmth.
OH EM…you ALWAYS look beautiful & I absolutely love to see you In your groovy t~shirts BUT my darlin’ Emma you look Bloody Gorgeous today in this episode! Absolutely Gorgeous …Breathtaking 🤩🥰!
The first thing I noticed is how beautiful she is, inside and out I imagine
What a video Emma…. Absolutely fascinating and extremely disturbing at the same time. Poor Angela, god bless her!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼.
Loving the great reset references.
Emma is a real one for sure. So many others are going along with this sick agenda.
Thank you
Great job of covering this case, Em!
very informative Emma, another one I've never heard of; looking forward to Sundays episode, thanks;-))
