I think a lot of times when people are on vacation they seem to have a false sense of security as far as danger is concerned.
yup i have seen this happened many times. Parents let there kids wander unsupervised, people have on valuables when they are out..etc etc
Especially when it is fostered within a specific environment. Cruise ships are not safe places for anyone.
I’m surprised that piracy is not a problem for cruise ships. There’s a lot of tourists on board and no armed guards.
Or a strong belief in faith.When he saw the horror that could happen he felt God would be the one to prevent him he continued his actions and found out and suppressed the end result
@@nnoneymoney7642 Believing in some make belief guy in the sky would’ve saved that little girl. How about common sense or logic which by the way is in short supply today.
Until I saw him leaning out of the window, I was 100% thinking it was a terrible accident & the cruise line was liable. But if he clearly knew the windows open, then I agree he was negligent. Spot on, Dr Grande 👏
How is the cruise line at fault if he dropped her?
My family member was driving with her grandchildren, and through a mistake of her own rear-ended another vehicle, causing the death of one child and seriously injuring the other... I never want to be at a funeral like that again. The incident completely changed our family dynamic, she has since passed away, but I never saw her smile again in the 20 years after the accident, I'm sure he isn't lying when he says there is no worse punishment available than being responsible for the death of his granddaughter
Especially when you are quilty of gross negligence.
@@cherylhaskell9830 Seriously? Wow. People like you baffle me.
Apples and oranges
The lawsuit is disgusting
Oh shit
The moment I saw in the surveillance video that he leaned out the window before this fall happened, his guilt was established in my mind. I think he screwed up. He did not expect her to wriggle or something and he lost his grip and she fell. Either way, he knew the window was open.
I agree completely
No matter how colour blind he is - that window was open! Extremely reckless dangling anything out of that window. However - I cannot Imagine the pain he must be living with. That poor child🕊️🕊️🕊️
Εxactly as you said. And the family trying to take the cruise liner to court? To make money from the negligence of the grandfather? I supposed they did not know at that time there was a surveillance video of him.
Right, he is seen on video leaning out of the window then picking up Chloe and placing her out of the window. Clear as day. He told many lies.
Exactly!
I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but sometimes I use your videos to fall asleep because your voice is so soothing. I can't be the only one, can I?
I listen to Dr. Grande's analysis of the day with undivided attention, before I go to bed. Then I let him tuck me in and I listen to him on autoplay until I fall asleep 😁 I've watched most of his videos a few times already.
I fall asleep to him every night. It's like a variation of hypnosis. Don't think I've ever got to the end the first time round.
Right? He could have an ASMR channel.
I do it too! But always finish watching the videos properly the next day🙂🌸🇦🇺
He does have a very soothing way of speaking : )
This man made an awful decision in lifting his granddaughter up to the open window. Can you imagine living with knowing that little girl died because of one stupid decision? I don’t believe he intended to harm her in any way.
He killed that little girl intentionally with the hope of getting a settlement from Royal Carribean. She wasn't his granddaughter. She was his step-granddaughter. They weren't even related.
He was NOT her grandfather. She was therefore not his grandchild.
@@m.j.c.6969 That is not true. My stepdad’s mom is my grandma. I am absolutely her grandchild.
@@Andreamom001 They're saying she wasn't his Biological grandchild. It may not have happened with you, but there's a nasty habit among human beings to treat children that are not their own poorly compared to biological family, see the phenomenon called the "Cinderella Effect".
Also if he really did feel bad he wouldn't have lied about not leaning out of the window for 8 seconds like it shows in the video.
@@ohmaaanwhattimeisit Yes, and for him to have the guts to try and sue the cruise line!!? Then to say well I'm glad I'm not going to prison...as if to say I'm not guilty so I'm having to deal with probation even though I don't think I deserve it....Kids shouldn't be allowed to bang on glass anyway!! He chose the ONLY open window, to boot. Guilty.
I’ve been on that ship and it’s obvious when the windows are open. The tinting makes the windows darker; it doesn’t make any difference if you’re color blind or not. IMO He knew the window was
Bollocks have you been on it
I agree. You can tell that the windows are open.
When you are high up on a cruise ship there is usually also a breeze. Not to mention, leaning out through the window beforehand tells you the window is not there
I feel so bad for the grandfather, because I really think he was unaware of the obvious danger .. I would not have let my grandchild beat on a window 10 stories up . Poor choices by the grandfather...
Edward Brown I’ve been on 13 Royal Caribbean cruises. Why do you say Bullocks? Are you just being a contrarian?
The family suing the cruise ship when they clearly know the grandfather was wrong is just to show how some people never like to take ownership for their actions
@@cht2162 There are such places. Why do some people want to absolve the responsible party of their guilt? A child is dead, for pitys' sake.
@@cht2162 The area was a safe area for kids... Didn't you listen he had to lift her off the ground and still raise her over the bars.... That's why the second row was the only one you can open and that's why the bar was there... The grandfather was negligent and got away with murder.
@@cht2162 They did. It's not their fault these trashy people didn't use it.
@@cht2162 I didn't realise playing includes adults dropping kids out of windows.
@@rayj5091 not murder.
I've sailed with Royal Caribbean. The spacing and height of the railings and windows is enough to deter any normal, rational person from falling overboard. I remember this because was trying to shoot some photos at an angle, but it was too much of a hassle. Even if the man was colorblind, he'd still be able to feel the ocean breeze coming through the window, as it was the only one open on that part of the deck. The windows are also tinted, so he'd be able to notice the change in brightness. Then there's the surveillance footage, which clearly shows him leaning over the railing and sticking his head out beforehand. He knew the window was open, and then leaned _even further_ out the window when he was holding his granddaughter. There's just no excuse.
IV BEEN ON SEVERAL AND I AGREE , NO MISTAKE HERE . THE GUY STUCK HIS HEAD OUT OF IT FIRST , HE KNEW IT WAS OPEN
I would feel grief, not RELIEF.
I think the man living with this guilt is even harder than going to prison. I would feel like a complete failure of a human being, I would feel unworthy of living.
Agreed, I would have jumped out that window after her if I had done that.
Poor bastard messed up big time sadly he's the only one to blame. Suing the cruiseline was unnecessary.
I agree. He probably had to comvince himself that it was not all his fault, so he can get through the rest of his life. He is guilty..
@@graytoby1 It was the baby's parents that sued and while I think it was egregious to blame the cruise line I also think they did it to cope. It has to be impossibly hard to accept your father killed your baby out of stupidity
@@somethinginthenothing Yeap I fully agree with you there
not everyone has that kind of conscience
Great summary and analysis. The family contacted a lawyer within a few days of Chloe's death, and the lawsuit was filed well before Aniello was charged. The judge threw out the suit recently, but the family has filed an Appeal. They seem determined to seek monetary solace for their grief, instead of facing the facts that point to the real cause of their child's horrible death.
The parents have admitted to not viewing the video
of Sam's negligence.
I've always liked the "reasonable person" standard and this case is a good example of how that standard really cuts to the substance of the matter.
One more thing... The row of windows were located in an area with bar tables and chairs, and there was a bar serving alcoholic beverages located at one end of that area. The opposite side of the ship had the same setup. The "kids splash zone" was located in the center of the deck.
From the beginning, the plaintiff's atty has stressed that this "hazard" was located IN the children's play area, and the media has run with that narrative, even though it is, at best, a major exaggeration, and at worst, a self-serving falsehood.
They are suing out of grief. The defendant is a several million dollar yacht. If a settlement was reached it wouldn't be the end of the world. A cruise line would lose a few bucks and a grieving family would be able to pay their bills a little easier.
This was a tragic and senseless death that was 100% preventable. I remember being in complete disbelief when it happened. I tend to agree that justice wasn’t served in this situation.
Thank you for reviewing this case Dr. Grande.❤️
It bothers me that regardless of blame, it doesn't seem that the ship made any adjustments to its windows. I hope they can't be opened ever
@@TheDramacist Very good point !!...you would hope more safety procedures would have been put into place following this, even though they were not at fault.
@@TheDramacist Why would they redesign the windows? Hundreds of thousands of passengers have sailed on that ship, but only one was stupid enough to drop their grandchild through a window.
Sealing those windows makes no sense unless you also surround every deck with a railing too high to lean over. .... As Dr Grande said, we can't live in a world designed to prevent every possible type of stupid behavior.
@@TheDramacistwith that logic we shouldn’t have cars, trains, stairs, etc….people have to held accountable to exercise some degree of common sense, this man knew good and well that window was open because he himself leaned out of it, that poor child would never have fallen had he not lifted her up to it. This is one of the few times I side with the corporation
Rejane; I really like your comment, but I feel the grandfather is serving a life sentence,for the death of his beautiful little grandaughter.
I can barely listen to this. It’s so painful.
I agree. My son fell down a flight of concrete stairs when he was barely walking age. I had my hands full and he got past me. When I went to grab him, I watched him tumble head-over-heals all the way down. That was 48 years ago. I'll never forget the way his father looked at me when I told him or how the doctor looked at me at the hospital. He was barely injured but that picture still passes through my mind. The poor grandfather will live with this in his mind for the rest of his life. What a tragedy.
Horrific.
Accidents happen, we aren't perfect we are human. If things are stressful or trigger unpleasant memories take time to be kind to yourself💙☀💙
Yeah I can't listen to this, it's so tragic and sad
@@polarbearsrus6980 i’m so glad your son is OK
“He had other options in this situation…like not doing that.” Gold, pure Dr Grande humor gold.
Excellent. I learned some new information about this case that changed my opinion! When my first child was just a few months old there was a tragedy at the local zoo that was similar to this. My husband and I acknowledged that we, as new parents, were bound to make stupid mistakes, but we made a pact to "never hold the baby over the alligator exhibit"--meaning never intentionally do something so stupid it could reasonably lead to our child's death. It's actually come to mind a few times and made me change my behavior--I've been grateful. What a tragedy for this family to live with. 💔
Edited for clarity: so i don't sound like I'm the person whose child died at the zoo.
was it that kid that got eaten by the colorful dogs?
I'm interested in how "he let Chloe bang on windows all the time" was established -- just on the family's word? Even if it was a family bad habit, the fact remains Sam held her to the edge, and then let her go, whether she was banging or not.
IMO, this is more likely: he leaned out, saw how high up they were and wanted to thrill Chloe by showing her the drop. He dangled her near the edge, but couldn't keep hold of her, and let her fall. Probably not intentionally, but highly, highly reckless. I have no sympathy for people who sue for damages which are obviously their own fault.
Accurate AF! Love your comment
Haha "probably not intentionally". What it being intentional ever on the table?
@@eadweard. yes actually at one point it was. There were some articles stating that they often complained about what a burden Chole was before the trip, according to some neighbors of theirs. But since I hadn't seen it mentioned since the beginning, that may have been ruled out.
He should be locked-up for a very long time. The entire family has no integrity....making me wonder if they did this on purpose.
@@jasonmichael3676 yep. If you look at the videos there was no glass there. Very obvious.
I'd heard about this case, but not the part where Chloe was used to banging on glass at hockey games (also probably not a good idea). I get where she might want to do it on the ship's window, but the grandfather should have said 'no.' Banging on or leaning against any glass is not a good idea at any age. Perhaps Anello was so interested in the view and wanting the baby to see it, that he just didn't realize he was leaning out of a window, but he shouldn't have been doing that in the first place. It's a sad story, nonetheless.
Some people let the kids do whatever they want....parents trying to be friends with kids 🤡
I agree with you about not letting kids bang on glass! I think that is too risky to let kids think it’s an ‘okay’ thing to do.
He did realize. They released security footage, and on it he first leaned out the window, then he picked up the child and held her out.
I'm happy he was guilty, people need to start taking responsibility specially for their kids. I'm so damn sick of irresponsible adults, they cause so much harm, pain, neglect and abuse to both innocent children and animals. You can't just cry and be sorry when something horrific eventually happens and think you Will get out of it, I really dislike how he was trying to get out of it and blame the gruise line even when it wss obvious he was negligent, that's no justice for your granddaughter, him crying when it comes u just shows to me he's sorry for himself.
Sounds too that he lied, that he knew but wanted her to see the view, yikes. Makes it even worse imo that he's not taking responsibility for his own granddaughters death by lying.
We went on a 5 day cruise out of in the gulf, Mobile to Mexico & back. There was an autistic teenager traveling with caregivers-not his parents-who disappeared off the boat, believed “to have jumped.” After a lock down and search of the boat, he was never found. Another passenger got stabbed by his wife, airlifted from the middle of the ocean. Crazy it did not make the news!!
Tons of people disappeaor from cruises or die during them......it's like playing russian roulette going on one.
Happens all the time!
Went did they allow a autistic teen to get on a cruise without his parents.
He put his head and shoulders outside the window before lifting Chloe up there? Yeah, negligent homicide.
Also, you would feel the breeze from the sea from a open window. You would know immediately it was a open window, especially it being the only open window. As someone who has lived their whole life on the coast. It is hard to miss the sea breeze when you stick your head out of a window.
@@_epic_dyslexic_ yeah I can confirm that also (I grew up in San Francisco).
First degree homicide. This was a premeditated act.
@@robertodell9193: My thoughts exactly!
@@robertodell9193 agree! I saw the video and he simply threw her out of the window. This was not an accident, it was a premediated murder.
There is an oceanside cliff in Santa Cruz, ca, very scenic and fenced off by the state or city. I was there taking in the view and a man went over the fence, which was designed to be kind of part of the rustic scene, with a little toddler boy and proceeded out onto the out-cropping cliff which was very slippery from the mist as the waves crashed below. And the little boy ran around on this outcropping while the man casually walked behind him. We drove off. I don’t know what happened, but what was that guy thinking letting the kid near the edge of a slippery rock cliff?
Some people (and I’m going to say it - mainly dads) just don’t think. I used to work in a childcare on a military base and so many of the fathers would come in and to pick up their kids and throw really small babies in the air, or put little ones on their shoulders who were too young. I’d have a heart attack every time. I was too junior to say much more than ‘oh! Please be careful’ but even the boss’s more stern warnings were ignored and they just said ‘she loves it!’ or get defensive and say ‘I know what I’m doing.’ One day a dad put an 8 month old baby on his shoulders right next to me as I was giving him a rundown on the baby’s day as he walked out and the baby threw itself backwards and I went ‘Aaahh!’ and quickly stopped the baby going all the way with my hand. The dad said ‘thanks!’ and kept walking.
@@blondesense1708 I have seen that, throwing the kid in the air thing. One little slip and lives are ruined. It clearly child endangerment, and the next time I see it I will say something.
I know what he was thinking: "life was better before kids"
This was such a sad case. Sweet baby didn’t need to die.
Just heart breaking and I can't understand it. If she banged on the windows and thats what she wanted to do then far before 34 seconds you would know there was no glass in there. The whole story makes no sense and its just tragic for that family
Right, these ships should be completely safe. Although I know that's a challenge, they make enough money to do it.
@@polarbearsrus6980 I dont know this case is honestly so upsetting like I cant imagine the pain of going on a trip to make happy memories and having the worst happen but I do agree with Dr grande on the fact this guy clearly knew the danger but obviously was negligent. I just don't think you can legislate or signpost every careless action human beings might take
@@mamacito1795 I honestly understand your view but still think the windows on a ship should be completely safe. Just as I think the decks on a ship should be built to prevent one from being able to jump or fall overboard. The industry can certainly afford it. Take care.
She must have been terrified💔
Your brief analysis of liability here was wonderful. I worked for years in insurance liability defense and this case has always bothered me. The suit was right to be dismissed.
3 local news stations with several stories could not tell me what you have thank you
I’ve been on lots of cruises and I don’t know how you can possibly think there is a window where there is none. Glass is never as transparent as a clear opening, so the difference is obvious, and there are always breezes coming through open windows.
Thanks as always, Dr Grande. One of the most tragic, needless losses I've ever heard, God bless the family and the spirit of the little girl. My Dad's brother was killed age 4 in a strange and unlikely accident when a bicycle handlebar hit him in the temple. The tragedy of his death ruined not only my Grandparents' lives and the lives of the cyclist and his family, it has echoed through our family ever since. It had a dramatic effect on my Dad's childhood, on his parenting of us and how my sisters and I parent. I honestly believe that my sons are unusually alert and fearful of danger and that they will possibly pass this on to their children too; a little extra caution is not a bad thing to learn but I hope they are spared even a glimmer of the unbearable grief that such a needless and seemingly preventable accident caused. A few seconds of thoughtlessness or lack of concentration can cost the most precious, irreplaceable being in someone's world and I pray to God to please never let such a loss occur again. I know it's something of a hopeless prayer but I mean it with all my heart - I wouldn't wish such pain on the worst person on this earth.
Your conclusion is spot on. Personally I think the guy got away with homicide because he risked her life for his own amusement. If he truly loved that girl then he would be begging to go to jail, or would have lost his sanity and be committed to an institution. I read the statement he gave after he pleaded guilty. The first two things he said was he was glad there is no jail time and that he doesn't have to admit the facts.
Seriously. I gasped when he said he didn't have to admit facts. That's an oxymoron.
I used to own a toothbrush with these words printed on the side- “Directions: use the fuzzy end”
🤣
Did you listen? Or did reading that make you want to use the other end to be a rebel? 😂
@@AMM3. oh I listened. I used that toothbrush for a disturbingly long time because I loved it so much!
@@opheliasloveshack Good stuff... Its way safer to listen... I guess I have a problem with authority... It's kind of a theme in my life... It hasn't really worked out that well 🤣
@@AMM3. i respected this particular toothbrush. I listened. Other toothbrushes and I haven’t had it go so smoothly. But this one... he was different 😍
I have watched that video several times and it even appears to me that at one point he held Chloe out of the window using just ONE ARM!
even if he didn't holding her out of the window is insanely stupid. A dark part of me wonders if for some of these cases it isn't accident but some bizarre succumbing to an impulsive thrill. Why else would you hold your baby granddaughter 150 feet (or even 30) at a height with no restraint and leaning forward over a rail? how stupid or drunk must one be?
@@theflyingkaramazovbrothers6 I agree completely
It was murder. The grandfather couldn't have lived so long if he was that stupid. They probably thought they could kill her and collect on a lawsuit. They didn't know there was security footage.
Yes, he DID! I wondered about a more sinister reason for his reckless behavior.
I kind of wondered if he did it as a passive-aggressive response towards someone in the family.
Maybe he was ticked off about something that was said, perhaps? Felt annoyed or slighted in some way? Also, he is not Chloe's grandfather, he is grandma's boyfriend.
@@duanejackson6718 I remember a case where a grandmother threw her granddaughter over the rail at a mall on the second story to get back at her son in law.
Dr. Grande, I'd love to see you analyze the life and death of Norm Macdonald. He died yesterday after a 9-year-long battle with cancer. He's considered to be a comedian's comedian, as he seemed to care about literally nothing in his comedy. Someone that hilarious is worth looking into, in my opinion
Norm was amazing. One of my favourites. Will miss him dearly. 💔
Holy SHIT! I JUST LEARNED OF HIS PASSING FROM YOU.
Man ... From the "love line" and stand up comedy to his rolls in Family Guy and Mike Tyson's Adventures he was one of the funniest men alive. RIP Norm
@@Mommyandtux sorry to break the bad news, man. Norm was a cut above all of his contemporaries. In a way, he kind of ruined all other comedians for me, because Norm was THAT much funnier than everyone around him. My world feels decidedly more hollow after his passing.
Just watched the video. The moment he picked that little bundle up and brought her NEAR the open window my heart was in my mouth! Who does that? And then he put her through! Un-be-lievable.
Everything else aside... who doesn't know that's not safe?! Wth.
This man was either incredibly stupid or a murderer.
Rest in peace baby.
Of all Dr. Grande's videos about terrible and gruesome murders, this is the only one I can't sit through or finish. I have no words.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign... Another professional and informative analysis as always Dr. Grande! Much respect 🤘🏻

This is a tragic story. I have never desired to go on a cruise, and this is another reason why. So many people disappear mysteriously, with no explanation. Thanks Dr. G. That color is very nice on you.
Chloe didn't disappear mysteriously. There is an explanation. She was allowed to fall out of a window.
@@jaelzion not Chloe. But alot of women have, and they can never find them. Dumped overboard? Probably. Or kidnapped? It is ugly and scary, both.
Now the case of Daniel Küblböck comes to my mind. A German TV personality who apparently committed suicide by jumping off a cruise ship after many struggles with depression. Come to think of it, it would be an interesting case for Dr Grande...just pronouncing the name Küblböck would be a nightmare for him, I guess. 🤔
Chuck T stop blaming big money for human error
This is very irrational of you. Millions of cruisers travel every year with a handful of tragedies. If you’re afraid of dying on a cruise then idk how you leave your house without terror. Driving on a road is far more potentially dangerous.
Oh my gosh, the horror of this entire situation. I cannot fathom the grief of this family.
This is perhaps one of Dr Grande's better videos because it covers a topic that really grinds my gears; the public's perception that someone else is always financially responsible for a careless mistake.
I can't imagine losing a child or grandchild. How do you wake up everyday knowing they are not there? Not sure I could do it. But I don't think I would sue a company that had no cause in the accident.
Like Dr Grande pointed out, warnings are for "mouse traps"; a term we use at work for hidden dangers. Signs were never meant for warning people not to eat AA batteries. Nor were signs meant to warn people against sticking their hand under a running lawn mower. I also don't need a sign warning me that the hot water inside my new water heater will burn me. It is absurd, yet they are all the results of successful law suits by people with no sense of resonsibility.
I work as a mechanic for a large public utility that has a legal department that spends a lot of time fighting frivolous lawsuits. In a recent lawsuit, the family of a man sued the utility after he broke into a vacant building and tried to steal copper from a panel energized with 480 volts. By the time the coroner arrived they literally had to sweep up his ashes. The family argued that the panel the guy cut open should have been de-energized if the building was vacant. So what do we tell the building owner? " Thank you for paying your bill, but we are going to de-energize the panel anyway because some people are stupid enough to cut into it"
You ever notice that you seldom hear of Walmart being successfully sued? Their legal department vowed to fight every lawsuit regardless of how much it costs. They will spend $10K to fight a $500 lawsuit. Try to find an attorney willing to take on Walmart. Not going to happen. That's how all companies should be
I swear these videos have helped keep me sane since the start of the pandemic.
It's like that time when the late Micheal Jackson dangled his infant son over the balcony of his hotel so everyone could see him even tho the baby was fully covered under a blanket. So, not much to see really except Jacksons very poor judgement. Thankfully his strength didn't give out.
I also thought about that moment. that scared the crowd below the balcony I remember
Always thought that situation was completely unnessesary and quite scary actually.
It's spelled 'Michael.'
I agree with the judgment and your analysis. Thanks again! Btw, your "commercials" are the only ones I listen to, because of your enjoyable delivery.
"Mimicking the behavior of social media influencers may cause a sudden loss of self-respect." Damn, I did not expect that! Although it is very true, not to mention the case being very tragic.
Excellent and prudent analysis, I'd say.
Well said Dr.
When you've heard the word prudent, but don't know what it means. ^
I like the suggestion of those "warnings" on social media influencers' channels though, Dr. Grande! ROFL!
Needed that giggle after such a heavy case! :)
Once I've actually BEEN THROUGH the portal and back, I'll let ya know:)
This was incredibly sad. And Sam's excuses about colorblindness, stating he thought a window closed, that he just put the upper 1/3 of his body through, were just the coping skills he had at the time. In many ways, his responses had an almost child-like naivete to them...everyone suffers here.
Sam Anello is cold-blooded murderer who killed a child for money.
William Fuld
We've all had momentary lapses of incredibly poor judgement, but most of us get to walk away unscathed. This story was hearbreaking.
I feel so horribly for the grandpa 💔 that’s a guilt you can never shake
I would be incapable of forgiving my father if this happened to me. When you are caring for any child, you have a clear responsibility to keep that child safe and alive. I just can’t imagine surviving this incident.
I have one child after years of infertility. He is 29 and I kept him safe. I took nothing for granted. I knew my role was to raise him to understand safety protocols and use good judgment. I may sound selfish but that is too high a price for me to pay to lose my child over such stupidity and severe negligence. No one will ever be the same. He inflicted life long agony to his family.
He should be in jail!
Agreed
He caused unbelievable pain and suffering to Chloe's family. He is not Chloe's grandfather, he is her grandmother's boyfriend. Not related. He is loosely referred to in the media as the grandfather, but that is not factual. Can you imagine?
His being in jail would cause more pain for the family. But if he was my bf and did this to my granddaughter, ugh he may not be walking around any longer.
@@orangetabby3229 he was wanting to have fun on the cruise ship, not be used as a babysitter.
This was such a tragic accident. Sams guilt is a life sentence.
Great video Dr Grande!!!
Not an accident. Anello knew he was going to murder that chid before he set foot on that ship. It was all about the lawsuit.
@@robertodell9193 Agree. It's so obvious. I guess most people are just naive AF to believe the parents and grandfather ever cared about the little girl.
Thank you Doctor, taking a cruise is a great way to observe the human animal!
I think we get so used to doing things without noticing. I could see myself leaning out a window to see something and a few minutes later my perception changed and my focus being on something else and forgetting I just leaned out the window. Sad for all involved.
Lol!!! Forgetting you’re leaning out the window of a cruise ship, ok!!
It seems silly af, but I agree with what you said. Stuff happens. Everyone has had an ‘I feel so stupid’ moment. Unfortunately, this grandpa paid the ultimate price for his “I feel so stupid’ moment.

Hello Dr. Grande❤️ Thank you for the new upload & all the hard work you put into your videos🙏
Thank God, to date, I have only bumped myself into a glass pane rather than falling off an unprotected opening, because of monocular vision causing inability to appreciate the difference.
Thank you, Dr. Grande for an interesting analysis!
Pleaseeee look into the case of Gabby Petitos dissappearance. Her "boyfriend" drove her car all the way from Wyoming to his parents home in Florida without her, got a lawyer and wont speak to police. She's missing in an area that is close to the "Zone of Death". Also there were 2 murdered people in Moab around the same time thwy were there and the Moab Police received a call about Gabby and her boyfriend having an altercation. Everything is SO WEIRD in this case
Yes, this one is clearly foul play
What can he say? the boyfriend is obviously guilty of killing her and running off back home in her vehicle.
I think we have a boyfriend who needs to be charged with murder. The question is will the authorities be able to find the victim’s corpse.
what is the zone of death
He lawyered up immediately so they're going to have to do an actual investigation and gather evidence rather than coaxing him to confess in a 12 hour interrogation.
I had never seen the video where he was leaning in the window. And he is color blind? Wow. The lawsuit always confused me but who knows how anyone would react when losing a child. Great video 🖤
The lawsuit becomes less confusing when you know Chloe’s mom and dad are a lawyer and a cop. Litigation was a foregone conclusion.
What a sad and tragic case! Thank you for your analysis Dr. Grande!
He should never have been allowed to not plea to the facts of the case. He should have been sentenced to time in prison for lying about his actions.
Imagine being grandpa the first seconds after Chloe fell and having to tell her mother and father what happened....
He should have taken the blame on him, in my opinion, out of respect for the little girl.
I'm sure he'll never get over the feelings of guilt. This was the cruise ship's fault.
@@polarbearsrus6980 how was it the fault of the ship of all things?
@@polarbearsrus6980 No it wasn’t the Cruise’s fault, Grandpa is the one at fault.
Agreed♥️ for Chloe♥️
@@polarbearsrus6980 You are obviously one of those people who never take responsiblilty for their own actions.
People need to realize that prison isn't only a deterrent it is also a punishment and this man needed to be punished
Agreed.
This is my fave Dr. Grande shirt. The plaid pattern continues from the collar to the front, and from the arm to the front. Pattern matching isn't always done by clothing manufacturers, and when they don't, it's jarring to the eye. Nicely done!
It’s the sign of a well crafted article of clothing.
Yeah, this shirt is on point
Dr grande you did an awesome job on this topic your empathy is amazing your balance truth and justice is great I feel so sorry for this poor child this is indeed a great tragedy
Cruises sound amazing. On a regular vacation you might be able to get Covid-19, contract a disease that causes diarrhea 30 times per day, or get thrown 100 feet to your death. But only a cruise can offer all three in the same day.
How do you get the same disease 30 times a day makes no sense
@@eadweard. he didn't say same disease 30 times in a day he said DIARRHEA....you know runny poop coming out of you, usually repeatedly in a short time frame......and yes when suffering diarrhea it is totally possible to have to poop 30 times in one day when you have the runs. Your attempt to argue with him/prove him wrong was incorrect.
Similar to parents taking children to a beach during a storm. We've had a few tragedies involving kids being swept away on the Oregon coast the past few years. Never risk it. Can't imagine the pain.
Look at Dr. Grande snagging a national advertiser. Such a big shot.
Your shirt is akin to the dusk Delaware sunset over the cornfields scattered between Bear, Glasgow, and Newark.
Dr. Grande nailed this one. Every point is right on.
I myself get sweaty when a little kid comes to close to something dangerous . My hair will stand up on my arms and i speed over to protect any child who gets near a place i see as an danger to them . So maybe it's just me but to put this little girl close to this window i would not and could not have done this. I just have tears in my eyes now just looking at this video .
The colours in your shirt warm-up your complexion, Dr. Grande. Very nice!
So sad a little child died because of very poor judgement by an adult. You can’t fix stupid and that is a terrible price to pay for a lesson learned.
He clearly leaned out the window. 🙄Very tragic and certainly negligent. Thank you for your analysis Dr Grande!💖💖
Excellent video as usual. I have a suggestion for you: Rocky Rambo Wei Nam Kam. Convicted in double homicide in Vancouver, BC. No apparent motive. He was an avid gamer and that was offered as a possible explanation for his actions. Would be interesting to hear your analysis.
Who in their right mind lets a child bang on windows? It is bad, stupid and dangerous behaviour.
What a tragedy. I find it disconcerting that high-rise buildings have windows that only open a few inches to protect children from dangerous falls, but the H2O Kid Deck of a cruise ship has windows that open to a 150 ft drop. That's scary and I'm not even a parent.
I am a parent and I have brought my children on Royal Caribbean. I am exceedingly cautious with my kids. There is no way an adult or child could accidentally fall out the window. Poor Chloe was lifted up to the window and put on the ledge
@@lee3171 have you been on that ship? Seen those exact windows? The answer is did they change the windows after the accident. No one knows. I would expect they might.
This man, I really cannot imagine the grief and blame he feels every day of his life.
Why he’s an idiot probably doesn’t have any feelings.
Your dark humor is fabulous. Thanks for your insight into this case.
FACT: Anello is not Chloe's grandfather. He is the boyfriend of Chloe's grandmother.
he said that in the beginning.
I heard him say Kimberly's mother and step father. They were not married, so its Kimberly and her mother and her mother's boyfriend Sal Anello.
Watching while at the DMV. Thanks for another video 💕
I just heard of this case immediately searched to see if you’ve covered it. You always come through!
From the beginning I've had the sense Anello unconsciously sabotaged his own happiness with his decision to dangle his tiny granddaughter out an open window 150 feet above concrete. The timing of it was very significant - the whole family together, about to set off on an idyllic cruise. Maybe he deep-down felt he didn't deserve that much happiness, maybe he had an infantile jealousy of another infant getting more attention than he was among loved ones. What I know for certain is that innocence and evil often go together, and there was something evil in grandpa that destroyed the innocence both of little Chloe and of the entire family. Further evidence of that is the way the toddler's mother so angrily defended the very man who killed her daughter. Yes, he was her father...but that crusading degree of defending him was downright disturbing. There was no hint of Chloe's mother being sad or even disappointed in her father for destroying so much so stupidly. Perhaps there was evil in Chloe's mother, also?
Thank you for the surveillance clip!
Sam says, "The wall of protective glass disappeared." He doesn't mention that Chloe also disappeared. The statement honestly should be, "The wall of protective glass disappeared and so did my marvelous granddaughter. She fell to the deck." That would indicate an honest appreciation for the situation that he created for no good reason. In the latter statement, Sam would be held accountable to himself rather than to the law. So, Sam is basically lawless and reprobate. There's no such thing as an adequate defense for those who are on their way to hell.
This channel is far more exciting than traveling through a interdimensional portal.
Nightmarish for everyone involved.
So terrible. The family seems not to blame him, not sure I would feel that way. Leaning through the window is damning for sure! (“She could have banged on lower window.”) I agree justice not realized. Horrible consequence of negligence.
Congrats Dr. Grande for reaching 1M subscribers!! 🎉🍾🎊🎈 Love your channel ❤️
Hi Dr.Grande
Have a great night late work day today, and watching your uploads and waiting to sleep.
Always appreciated.
Thank you.
I remember when this happened thinking at the time how horrible it was.
I'd not hear of this case, such a sad story.
Daaaang , Dr. G.! Lookin' sharp in that shirt! You need to create a separate channel in which you do tours of your house (including that fab wardrobe), cooking/meal prep videos, AM/PM routine vids, ADITL, GRWM, etc. I would sub immediately!
I second this!
If my husband came to me and said, "Guess what, honey? We're going to film every inch of our house and expose it to the world."...
🔪
That show would never air and the body would never be found! 😉
@@kayzbluegenes You can already find his house online, and I’ve even seen a pic of one of his two sons standing in front of the house, so I know it’s the right one. It’s not like it’s hard to find out where a person lives.
@@fern7306 And the 12 people who’ve liked my comment in the last 8 hours. 😊
@@fern7306 I’m surprised you’re watching him at all then.
30 seconds is a long time to be in that position. I feel very sorry for this man, I hope he finds peace, but I agree with your entire analysis. It was negligent.
heartbreaking case. thank you for your analysis
I believe it was George Washington who said "it is better to offer no excuse than a bad one".
I'd never seen footage of him leaning thru the window until your video, so thank you Doc!! Always amazing analysis. This is such a tragedy😢 an accident on his part (not sure why??) but the cruise people probably should rethink those windows
@@sgirl1234 I think you misunderstood me, I'm not blaming the ship for anything, just speculating about the windows .. And I didn't follow this case, I only heard about it fairly recently here on the CZcams (I don't have a TV and don't follow much social media)
@@sgirl1234 The ship was docked. That's why Chloe landed on concrete.
Your analysis of this inexplicable incident was beneficial because It provided an understanding of fact; but not of his intention.
Excellent and heart breaking analysis. Thank you Dr Grande.
He obviously just wanted to dangle the baby in the air like Michael Jackson.
34 seconds is insane.
We all make mistakes. It’s a doozy but I think he’d deserve sympathy.
Cept he blames others not himself.
Pathetic man.
So so sad. My heart breaks for that family. 💔
Save your sympathy for the little girl they murdered.
Thank you for all the hard work! Greetings from Greece 💙⛱️
I almost didn't watch this video as I knew the horrible story and didn't want to subject myself to it. What a terrible tragedy; I can't imagine the grief and horror this family had to endure.
Omg...this terrible, just awful! I can't even imagine. That poor baby!.Can't imagine having to live with that. I feel so badly for the babys family.
a window 100-150 feet in the air will have some very slight breeze or feeling in conflicting temperatures right at that space. There's no way in hell he didn't know that window was open, that was his excuse.
It never ceases to amaze how women have all the sympathy in the world for criminals but none for the victims.
"Oh, that poor murderer!"
-some woman, probably
The family conspired to kill baby Chloe and Sam Anello was the hitman. All they cared about was the lawsuit.
@@robertodell9193 I said "Oh, that poor baby"?
@@cindylang7402 "I feel so badly for the babys family."
Did you forget you wrote that?
@@robertodell9193 no, I did...am I not supposed to feel bad for the baby's family?
Dam still remember this story, in Puerto Rico, some of my friend working at the dock actually saw the kids body ... horrifying
No pictures
@@twocents7495 what are you saying?
Way off topic but I actually said this out loud "OohOooo! The colors in that shirt Belong to Dr Grande now!" I know I say that about many of the colors you wear but it is remarkable (so I remarked)!!! Great insight as always! Thank you for all your hard work! A day without Grande is like a day without sunshine! 🌄 Having said that, I hope you're getting enough R&R, you know we all worry about that! ❤
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing my friend.
