Hello Danielle, hope all is well with you; you uploaded super early, normally I get a notification about between, 12:30pm to 3:00 pm, anyway I'm going to start watching this video !😎❤
Danielle's you really need to look at the case of Mandy Thomas! It's one of the worst things I've heard of and I feel liker he story "you cant run" is not heard of enough! Get this woman the awareness she deserves❤
God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, who is the name above all names & the only way to Heaven❤
I love sassy danielle can we pretty please have a end of year special that is a sassy danielle compilation video 😂
I tried playing cards one on one. When it looks like you are winning, the other guy disappears. I have never completed a game. I am not saying that will happen with the game you are talking about
I was a foster child that was blessed to be put in my mom's home. She ended up adopting me. She was an amazing mom. I truly lucked out.
I'm so glad for you! Sounds like she gave you a wonderful upbringing. So very, very glad. x from England.
That makes me so happy!! Every child deserves a great parent.
It's so rare for children to find great parents or a mother who will truly love and care for their foster children
Seeing your comment warms my heart ❤️. I'm so happy for you 💗
Im so happy for you. My granmother adoopted me. She was strickt but i was happy i was in known home.
I love that, and it is sad that your experience is considered lucky.
The fact that she was denied twice 😞 and still got a hold of some children.
I just don't get why someone would fight so hard to get kids just to end up abusing them.
@TheAlmalilibeth To keep up 'appearances', "keep up with the Jones", & for 2 Gov paychecks 🤷♀️😔
@@TheAlmalilibethbecause she was trying to run for office. She needed the family/unselfish foster care giver image because her reputation was not good!! She wasn’t a politician as Danielle said. The girls were a necessary political prop to her
predators are truly relentless.
$$$ and false esteem 😢@@TheAlmalilibeth
My abusive step mom tried to adopt an infant baby girl. When she came into my life at 5 years old I was already too old for her to brain wash and I had my bio mom as an influence in my life. At 19 years old after no contact for many years she came to me to let me know she was trying to adopt an infant baby girl. I immediately thought to myself that all she wanted was a doll and if that baby girl doesn’t turn out how she wants I can’t let another child be abused in the way she abused me. My stepmom tried to repair our relationship and get me to show up to their adoption meetings to make it look like we were a big happy family. Surprise, surprise we had another falling out before I ever went to one of those meetings. Couple weeks later I get a request for an “adult child reference” from the adoption agency. I ripped her to shreds in that reference and thank god that I did not ever show up to those meetings. She did not get the chance to adopt and they were rejected. Seeing this video makes me feel like I saved a child’s life.
Oh sweetheart you definitely saved a child and I’m so sorry she abused you ❤❤❤❤ but you made it out and I hope you found a way to heal from it all ❤❤❤
@@dustmepink you’re so kind for saying so 💕
Good on you for speaking up! Thank you for sharing
You 100% save that’s babies life ❤ the world needs more people like you xx
@@hillarygordier1919 thank you for your kind words. All I can really say is I’m thankful for speaking up and thank you to Danielle for making this a safe space for me to share my story and for having such a caring and supportive fanbase.
i never usually cry at true crime but the picture of her with her leg in a cast, still trying to smile for the absolute waste of life that did it to her, honestly shook me. couldn't help but cry.
I agree. I also cannot understand why Jennifer would take a picture of her like that.
@@AlexandraBolz She was NOT Jennifer's daughter
That picture absolutely broke me as well. She is the sweetest baby and is so clearly suffering at the hands of this monster of a woman.
Same 😢
I had the same feelings and thoughts 😢
Samantha is the epitomy of 'just here for the paycheck' what an absolutely useless worthless waste of space. I hope the trauma of what happened to Layla haunts and follows her for the rest of her life. She enabled this!
Absolutely, weak link in the chain. In a rare instance the system actually worked like it was supposed to and just took one person to mess it up.
@@IndigoBellyDance 'In all fairness'. I'm sorry... what? Were you half asleep during this? She saw numerous reports before the girls were even fully adopted, didn't bother doing her job at all when they were. She was supposed to look out for their wellbeing and she DIDN'T. She doesn't deserve a shred of fairness
@@IndigoBellyDance Oh I paid full attention thank you. Where did I say Samantha was the only one responsible? Care to point out which comment? Other people failed too, thanks captain obvious I noticed. But did you know who failed them the most after the monsters who beat those kids? The woman who supposed to be proactive in protecting them, the one who couldn't take a few minutes to examine if a kid had bruises under their clothes and chose to go to a gymnastics class just so she could tick a box and nothing else. Just because she wasn't the only one responsible doesn't mean she deserves any sort of fairness
@@IndigoBellyDance she’s the casework doing the job she as the authority here unless she is blind, deaf and dumb it’s her fault however if I was the biological mother I would call the police and get them to do a welfare check that would totally remove Samantha or I would ask for Samantha to be removed from the case. However let’s not forget Samantha didn’t even do her job right before the kids was in her care.
@AngelRasmus3 defo …ppl that don’t care about children shouldn’t b in Samantha’s job…. Pathetic how she turned a blind eye…she should have been locked up tp
So she was pissed off when they denied her because of the potential to be an abuser...so she manipulated the system and proved them right by being exactly that??? Smfh...
Yeah There is no excuse for what she became.
Both were in the wrong. Her, for obvious reasons detailed in this video. But while children from abusive homes can go on to abuse others, many don't, and there are also plenty of abusers who were never abused themselves. That being part of the criteria in the first place is evil.
@@transientdaydreams Oh for sure, I was abused as a child and could never harm a child. I don't think it's fair to completely deny someone on the off chance. I just found it ironic that she ended up exactly what they were afraid of.
Social workers who don’t care at all about kids infuriate me so so much. It’s like if you came to the doctor’s office with blood gushing out of your artery and the doctor was like „Eh, I don’t really feel like doing anything, I’d rather grab another coffee“
Couldn't agree more. I'm a social worker, and my job is so incredibly hard I can't understand why anyone would want to do it if they DONT care? The day I don't feel passionate is the day I need to stop because the kids 🙏 deserve 🙏 better.
I’m a mandatory reporter, and I kind of hate it. I make reports knowing it’s just going to hurt the kids even more. Our CPS system lost over NINETY kids in around 5 years. Just lost them. Nobody checked on them, but they wrote reports saying they did. When I think of what a system working correctly looks like, I think about the social worker who almost got blown up trying to save Susan Powell’s boys from their HORRIBLE dad. The system failed those boys terribly, but she refused to leave them as much as she could. A good system is run entirely by people like her.
@@rhiannon24677wish they was all like you
Why get a job in social work..if your not going to do the job
@@corinawyatt3803 couldn't agree with you more
35:59 layla was still non verbal, so it made it EASIER to abuse her. she couldn't tell anybody what was going on - that's why she focused on her so much
Something has got to change. There are far too many caseworkers getting away with these children's blood on their hands.
I agree, these case workers should Absolutely get charged if they are negligent in their duties! It should be right in their contract of employment that they are liable so that it serves as a deterrent and to enforce that they be extremely diligent in their casework!
It is unbelievably rare for them to get any legal issues done too. One of the only cases I can truly think of where there was any kind of legal penalties to a social worker was A.J. Freund's case, but he was only sentenced to 6 months. Which is just nothing imo for what he let happen.
So many times the government protects workers like that and it's just... awful. There's no consequences, not enough anyway
what needs to change is people being responsible when they bring babies into the world : (
@ashleytaccone5298 so are you pro choice or pro life?
@@ashleytaccone5298well unfortunately): that won’t happen): & kids who go up for adoption isn’t just bc of irresponsibility): 🙄
I will never understand people who choose to foster/adopt children just to then abuse them. The kids have been through enough without further trauma, it’s just absolutely disgusting. I would love to foster children, one day when I’m stable enough as I have plenty of love to give to any child in need 💜
I'm closer to my stepbrother than I am my birth relatives. My dad was the father figure he needed when my stepmom didn't care about either one of us.
Ppl sometimes adopt and foster for money most times. Sad
It's the fact that she was like a bloodhound to foster child, I cannot wrap my head around it, I have 3 boys and one Little boy through CPS, things are hard and tiring some days, but I never ever project any way I'm feeling onto or near the children, it's just wrong on all levels to actually go out of your way to foster children only to hurt then
@@MORNIN-s4p The last word of your name. I've been asking "what's it called when..." for a couple days here 😂
I don’t understand why people choose to abuse kids Regardless
My sister was a nurse in the ER the night she was brought in. They tried their hardest to save that poor baby. My heart goes out to her sister Millie and family.
Heartbreaking
I can't fathom her nightmares. My grandmother was a NICU nurse in a big university hospital for around 40 years. High-risk births, like addicted mothers and multiple births, go to this hospital even from across the country. She saw some stuff. Things I couldn't handle, and I know it. I'm constantly so grateful for people like her and your sister. The strength it must take... unfathomable. Tell her thanks from me. ❤❤
When my brother was in 3rd grade back in the 80s, his teacher took him to the principal's office one day. They kindly asked him how he had gotten a bunch of bruises up and down his arms. My brother told the truth -- he was playing competitive tackle football (we live in Texas). The principal called our parents and then the football league and my brother's coach to verify this. He also called our family's pastor. Our parents were taken aback, but not upset -- they appreciated his teacher alerting the school of the issue. They also went to the sports store and bought my brother arm pads.
This is what people are SUPPOSED to do when they see suspicious bruises on a child!
too bad everyone is not like this
Samantha White was just a lazy person that didn't want to bother. She didn't want to do the paperwork because that would have just been way too exhausting for her. Samantha needs to be put in a room and have everything she done to these precious little girl's done to her. I have absolutely no sympathy for monster's that harm children and could care less if they survive another day. This case makes my blood boil. The case worker should have been charged with allowing all of this to go on.
Not to mention other children's suffering in her other cases that we don't even know about 😢
I watched the sentencing. The fact that the father of Joseph called Laila “it” told me all I needed to know. The judge was so appealed as to the lack of remorse for the death of Laila. Neither Jennifer nor Joseph, neither their family said that they were sorry for what happened to that poor child…
And the judge had to pause because he was literally choking back tears!!!! I watched this whole trial from start to finish and that last word from the judge absolutely broke me!! He was so calm and neutral and quiet all through the trial, so he clearly was fighting back some hard emotions to get choked up the way he did!!! 💔
Where can I watch this please x
Layla was just an easy target for her. A baby who couldn't speak or defend herself against her actions. She is just a horrible human being. That baby deserved so much better😢
Found out the lil one we were hoping to adopt might not be able to. I can’t even comprehend who would offer to be a foster parent, and then abuse those same babies in their care. No baby should ever be put in danger..or not feel loved😢
The fact that case workers like Samantha STILL don't have to face any kind of criminal charges for what they have done (or didn't do), just leaves me dumbfounded. Once more I have lost all faith in the system and humanity.
The justice system is a joke it's totally pathetic.
I haven't finished the video yet but I was wondering if Samantha got any form of punishment... She SHOULD be confronted in front of a jury.
@@noellie9682 YES, I absolutely agree! I mean, people who work in this field have to make decisions that literally can make the difference between life and death (of INNOCENT & DEFENSELESS!) children. If they cannot rely on the "outside world" - so CPS - to come and save them, then who can they rely on?
And don't get me wrong please.. I know and understand that so many CPS caseworkers are absolutely overworked and underpaid at the same time and that even if they do their very best, sometimes they sadly still can't prevent the death of a child because of a variety of other reasons.. I mean that's obviously a huge issue within the system itself and I'm not referring to these kind of case workers..
But Samantha's behavior was - and I think obvious to everyone who listened - absolutely negligent, irresponsible and not acceptable.
Btw.: I'm not a professional, this is just my personal opinion.
She needs to be put in jail too. That dumb look on her smug face annoys me. No remorse either. Just as bad as Jennifer I think
I had a horrific childhood and foster care was awful, I have 2 children now myself. My children are so adored, protected and I may spoilt them too much by trying to compensate for my childhood. How could she not adore her child? It hurts my heart so much :(
In my opinion ( pregnant at 14, not a great childhood) We, the children who were abused have a choice to make, repeat the abuse, don't hold yourself accountable and cause harm OR do like you and I did. Refuse to be a monster, love cherish, and care for our children. All the excuses that people use to defend these monsters are evil, too.
I mean I feel your pain my childhood was awful too my apartment was like a drug house as a child
After their mother died, my aunt and my mom were almost adopted by a wealthy couple. These people gave them new clothes, and toys, but when they decided not to adopt my mom and aunt because they cried too much, they took all those things from them, to give to the new orphans they were expecting.
They actually wanted to keep my aunt, but they didnt want my mom, so decided to get rid of both of them. People can be awful 😞
I am truly sorry to hear that 😔💔
They lost their mother and were thrown into a new environment. That's really difficult to go through as a kid. These people had no compassion.
Was probably for the best since those rich people are horrible people.
The picture with Layla's leg in a bandage is truly just so much more heartbreaking when you notice how bruised her other leg is. I find Samantha equally culpable, she should be rotting in prison. Those injuries should never have happened, and if Samantha had done her job, that little baby girl would have still been alive today.
You can see one on her cheek too on her left cheek. 😢
I just hope that poor Millie is able to grow and never have to endure any more pain in her life. That strong, sweet soul deserves nothing but kindness.
They make it about "abused people abuse people" but they just don't want to admit it's their own foster system that breeds instability and insecurity. They know this, and THAT is why they don't want formally fostered adults to be foster parents.
I was fostered and had a tough childhood... and I learned what NOT to do to a child. I never hit a child nor a pet in my life, quite the opposite, they naturally come to me.
Once your brain develops and you're capable of reflection, you CANNOT use your past as justification for any wrong doing. You're an adult now, it's your responsibility to heal those wounds and stop the cycle.
These poor little girls 😣❤
@@sophiemarcaurele well said. 100%
My husband and his siblings were from the system. When we tried to become foster parents that was a huge concern/obstacle. Especially since they had been abused in the system.
I think it's actually a fair concern. I don't think the way they went about assuring that he had turned out "okay" really tells anyone anything.
Lots of predators come with pretty packages and know how to say what they need to to pass as normal.
My hubs was a great gut who truly wanted better for others but you can't tell that by just looking at people.
My sisters and I were abused by our parents and we love and protect our children. I tell my nieces and nephews even that if anyone ever lays a hand on them, even if it were my sisters or their dads to let me know and I would make sure that it would never happen again. I let them know that they will always have a home with me just because I want them to be safe and loved. My sisters do the same! We keep each other in check and when one needs a break, we step up. We broke the cycle and it can definitely be done! I can't ever imagine raising my hand against one of these kids or screaming insults at them.
The picture of that poor baby girl being treated for a broken leg still trying to smile just took me down! Poor little angel!! and the results of the authopsy was just the freakin worst!!!!!! 😢
So heartbreaking 💔
I lost it when you said her pancreas was split in 2, I cannot even fathom how someone can be so evil
Dear God, that Baby was Battered! How does anyone hurt a 2 year old, and a 4 year old?? Heart Shattering! 💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏
In last week's video I commented explaining that as a teacher I'm obligated to report any changes - no lunch, bruises, if a child appears dirty and I was torn to shreds for 'reporting every little thing' and how it can ruin good families and have children taken away. I was called 'pathetic', 'over the top' and accused of 'projecting my childhood trauma onto children', also referred to as 'that cheeko teacher girl'... But cases like this, just prove WHY it's so important to 'report every little thing'
P.s I don't report to CPS, I HAVE to report to the school if I see anything. I'd be failing my obligation as a safeguard, and a professional if I didn't. I'd rather look stupid than have the death of a child on my hands.
No way! THANK YOU for all you do.
You're a mandated reporter for a reason and as a former foster child, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the good you're doing.
I tried reaching out to counselors and teachers at my high school regarding the neglect and abuse I endured at home. No one said anything. No one advocated for my safety and well being. No one seemed to care until my mother attacked and beat the crap out of me (yet again) in the middle of my friend's house a half block away and the police were finally notified... By then, I was 15.
My first two foster placements were mentally abusive.
I lucked out with my 3rd placement and was able to age out. The wanted to adopt me but I didn't let them. Had trust issues, ya know? I did land my first job with their love & help. I got my GED and a license too. I'll always love them for their support 😊
So honestly, I applaud you. You have no way of knowing what a child MIGHT be going through, whether at home or actively in the system. A lot won't verbally tell... You have to look for the signs.
You're a good person, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. ❤
@@FarrRedStarr I'm gutted you went through all that! You're incredibly strong and I hope you're doing well now. I was a child of abuse too, and that's why I wanted to be a teacher - I didn't go to school till I was 7 and out of the abuse , my teachers were the first 'non family' adults to look after me and care for me. So, I take my role seriously 💕💕 xxxxx
Meanwhile, if you didn't do anything like they wanted you to and something bad DID happen, you'd be bashed for "ignoring the signs." It's better to be cautious than negligent!
@@Silvermoon424 exactly, it really had me questioning whether I'm justified. Xxxx
My youngest daughter is two next month. When I arrived at the autopsy part of the video I found I can not process this level of harm to a child. I can’t help but cry. Thank you for sharing this baby’s story so that she will always be held in light and love by the collective consciousness.
Hi Danielle. I’ve been struggling with a depressive episode and one of the only things I look forward to, is watching your videos. Just listening to you talk makes me feel less alone. Never stop doing this, it really means a lot to some people. Thank you so much for sharing your time with us viewers and I hope you get to read this comment and know how much it means to me. Greetings from Colombia.
Her Beautiful, Sweet Little Face! Millie is a Hero! As Little as she was, trying to Protect her Baby Sister! That Tiny Baby ??!! Baby Laila was in Pure Agony! Millie was still Protecting her Baby Sister! What a Brave Little Girl!💝💝💝💝
When you said “you see her mask slip” my ears shot up like a hunting dog. Something about these manipulators makes me recognize patterns in the people around me
💀
Interesting
i’m sure we can all say that about everyone we meet.
I've seen the same thing and it was creepy.
🤣🤣
When you said that her arm was broken because she was trying to block her head from getting hit, I just thought- wtf would have happened if it was her head and not her arm. I just can't wrap my head around what she did to these little girls. It's disgusting and evil and I hope prison gives her a taste of her own medicine. Ugh Terrible.
There should be intergenerational retirement homes. As many grandparents and great grandparents raise their grandkids, it seems like that might be an option for both the elderly and kids to get better care.
There are some places that are changing the laws making it illegal to evict a retiree from a retirement home just because the retiree is caring for grandchildren.
@@elaexplorer Oh that's great to hear. If these girls could have just stayed with their grandma we probably wouldn't have heard this case.
Lela, not talking, tantrums and strong reactions to noises could've been Autism Spectrum. Unfortunately no one will ever know. Poor baby.
As a mom of a 2 yr old I am f-ing IRATE!! What cruel, disgusting and evil behavior!!! I am so saddened these precious babies had to endure such evil treatment. Having kids is a blessing and a privilege. God bless these babies! Karma is coming for Jennifer 😡😡😡😡
I had to flip the phone screen over. I couldn’t bear to look at that sweet little girl with a leg cast and imagine what she went through. As a mother of 2 little girls, I can’t even wrap my head around this.
Totally agree with you dear 😢💔
That unfortunate reality of a bunch of people who were abused going on to abuse other people is exactly why I refuse to have kids myself. As someone who was abused a majority of my childhood and has PTSD from it, I simply cannot and refuse to put a child in a position where I might do something to traumatize them the way I was traumatized. If more people made this kind of responsible decision, cases like this wouldn't happen.
Agree with you. But it's more complex than that. I never had children and I never was abused not even spanked during childhood. It's just that my parents never encouraged me to be a mum. They were... sad and pessimistic all the time. I saw my mum crying only once in my life, when I told her that I would never have a child. I'm 61 now and never regretted it. On the contrary, I feel released because I didn't make this mistake.
If you've got that attitude that it would be wrong to abuse your kids, then I don't think you would abuse your kids. You wouldn't traumatise your kids the ways you were traumatised.
I think the people who do that don't go into it with a properly oriented moral compass to start with.
Honestly, I think you are probably safe to go have kids, just because you were abused doesn't mean you will abuse your children. Some abused people do, but not all, many go on to be good parents. You can break the cycle.
I am not saying you have to have children, that is your choice, just as it would be your choice if you hadn't have been abused.
@@FronteirWolfwhy would you say that?? She clearly understands her trauma and temperament better than a random armchair parenting professional on CZcams! She is making the right decision for herself and it’s admirable!
Same here. I can't imagine bringing a child into this cruel world and even going through a portion of what I suffered. No, absolutely not.
I was abused as a child. At first I didn’t want children. As I got older I understand that what was done to me will NEVER happen to mine. I have 2 beautiful adult children and a grandson. You can break the cycle.
Samantha is Responsible, too. Those Defenseless Little Girls were being Abused, and they weren't Protected!! Poor Tessa, and their Great Grandmother were Suffering, too! It's so Very Wrong!
2 and 4yr olds cant even grasp the concept of time. Jennifer's ignorance is all encompassing. She is the perfect example of someone who can learn something by repetition and mimic behaviors, but not truly understand a damn thing... ever.
When it comes to Samantha I'm thinking she was just being lazy because trying to find a foster home that will take 2 children under 5, that are siblings, with behavioral issues, and 1 of them nonverbal is virtually impossible. It's easier for her to pretend like these things are not a big deal or turn a blind eye or somehow justify it to herself or outright play stupid than it is for her to actually have to put in the effort to do her job correctly and find a suitable foster home without splitting these siblings up and then work with Tessa on reunification. Now yes social workers are overworked underpaid and overloaded but that doesn't mean it's acceptable for them to half/ass their job... ever.
Samantha the caseworker should be in prison too. She’s just as bad. This is such a tragic and avoidable loss. Bless both the little girls in heaven and on earth ❤
This is a prime example of parents who want to foster or adopt who should be going through therapy first. MANDATORY therapy, zero exceptions. Children are not here to fill a void in your heart or life. You should not have expectations of children being well behaved& obedient no matter what. Children who are, are the exception& not the norm. Children are not possessions& they aren’t an extension of you. They are their own person& learning to human. It’s our job as parents and guardians to them how.
Not you alone Kirsty. I saw her deceitfulness and her looking fake. She was struggling to compose herself at that interview
Samantha needs to be charged. Absolute incompetence! Jennifer and Joseph hopefully are getting similar treatment that they gave Layla 🙏🏻
What a devastating story. I know Tessa had a hard life and she didn’t get the guidance to be the mother these girls needed (at least not in time), but it seems little Millie was the only human being who put her sister first. How tragic when a four year old prioritizes a toddler’s well-being more than any adult they encountered.
Great coverage as always, and congrats on 1 million subs ❤️
Y’all, the civil case Tessa and her partner filed against the Georgia Dept of Human Services is outrageous. Not only was Samantha’s boss liable but they WON their suit against Tessa. WTF is up with the state of Georgia???
She wanted an opportunity to dish out what she had received in life.
So many times this baby could have been saved,,,SHAME on the people who let her down. Rest Well Layla 😢❤
This story just triggered me. How tf do you beat a 2 year old? This woman is a real devil. Awful, horrible case.
Clicked fast, then hit pause. Can I handle this? I often remind my kids that they are each a gift I prayed for. Gift. Not property, responsibility, burden, or something to torture so I can distract myself from my own brokenness!
❤
As someone who was adopted by two narcissists and likeminded power hungry people, thank you for this coverage. This is truly heartbreaking.
So confused as to why she fought so hard to be a foster parent only to abuse the child so horribly.
I have a question when it comes to these cases with children. Why didn't any of Tessa's family think of taking the girls in? They all speak during the trial about how much they love Millie and loved Laila but, where were they? Nowhere, absolutely nowhere when Tessa needed them most. If the family loved Tessa and the girls as much as they say. They'd have helped her at her biggest time of need and not allow the children to enter foster care. Somebody, atleast one person in the family had the means to step up. JUST ONE PERSON! Everybody failed those girls.
That’s a good question. There were family members who wanted the girls and had the means to take care of them. They were prevented from getting them because of hatred from other family members.
It did say none of the other family members were found "suitable" ... another failure of the system I guess
I agree with you everybody failed them
With Tessa being an ex foster child herself. There maybe a generational issue of instability, some may have also been out of state which can make them unsuitable, or not had the space finances or work arrangements to allow them to take in the girls.
Some of them did take one of the children at times and both at others. It was clear this was going to be a long term situation. Sometimes the state says you are not suitable. Or your home is too small. Or you work too much. Or you’re too old. Or you’re in Poor health. I’m not saying you are wrong but it’s not easy. Your spouse has to agree. Maybe your landlord. It’s expensive. You can’t immediately say they didn’t love the kids. It is not easy to take three small children into your home. I did it for one year for a relative. Thank god she turned her life around. Wonderful mom now.
This story is heartbreaking! I went through a case when my son broke his leg! I went through hell!! Social services accused me of doing it to him but I have to say with the help of an amazing family and SouthWales Police I cleared my name!! He was 18 months and twisted his leg while on the sofa! I have no faith in social services and think they should have done more!!!
Thank you Danielle for covering this story and love to the family and victims xxx
I suspect that she was denied the PRIVILEGE of becoming a foster parent for very good reasons!
I gre up in foster care. 50+ hones before I found a match but when I did, I lucked out. Saved me from Juvie and eventually jail or even worse, death. So grateful I found a good family. I'm 23 now and still call them family. Praise God🙌🏼
These people are so corrupt but hearing how powerful they are is laughable. They have no power outside of their tiny little town.
This woman is pure evil. I’ve heard this story before but your retelling was enlightening.
I do not believe if you are abused that you will likely abuse. I was abused and as a child and adult I vowed to break that abuse and I did.
It's a cycle. You are likely too but not always. Just like when adults sa they were likely sa when they were kids. That's why we need to break that cycle
100% my mum was abused as a child and she has been the most amazing, supportive kindest mum to me ❤
Congratz! Same here, I broke the cycle 💜
think it depends on the person. Yes, some victims of abuse will become abusers themselves simply because they don’t know a different way to act, don’t have insight and have certain personality characteristics. While others who were victims of abuse become determined to be better and as a result become extra compassionate to others in their circumstances. I think your innate personality determines which one you’ll be. I agree though that just because you were abused doesn’t mean you’ll be an abuser.
Good on you for breaking the cycle!
I was mentally, physically, and sexually abused as a child, and I was determined to break the cycle, and I achieved that goal. I have 4 sons and 15 grandchildren, and they are all "normal," and the cycle was broken.
I love when my favorite people upload right at that perfect moment that I’m looking for something good to watch ❤️
yeaaah, I just finished watching formula 1 race and then here is my queen Danielle. Best parts of sunday 🎉
For real, needed a podcast for my shower and came by this which is perfect.
same ! currently getting a tattoo and i needed a distraction haha tysm danielle !!
@@kayzee_bee Nice!! 🤘
My dad was physically and emotionally abused by his dad throughout his childhood. He always told me that experiences like that can lead you on one of two paths; you copy the behaviours that you have witnessed, or you learn from them and become the better person ❤️ he’s the best dad anyone could ask for
I'm a cps caseworker and I'm appalled at that worker!!! The standard of care for children in the system is so much higher than if they were with their parents. That social worker and her supervisors, that judge and all those slimy politicians should be held accountable. I'm glad they had the book thrown at them. For me, if I even have a suspicion that kids are being abused in a foster home I remove them upon further investigation. Disgusting
As a mom with a 2 y/o and a 5 y/o, I just couldn't imagine this type of abuse for such a small child, for any child but such a small child at that. And then her big sister testifying in court and recalling everything. Heartbreaking! Me and my sister grew up together with my mom. When you go through so much childhood trauma with a sibling, there's no bond like that. She lost a piece of herself with her baby sister and she even tried to stop it. Such a brave girl. I hope the rest of her life is abundantly filled with peace and love.
That little girl probably had autism.
I have two nonverbal boys (12&14 years old)
Two years old is a hard age, but when you're dealing with an autistic child, it's extremely baffling and stressful.
Jennifer IS a monster.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Girls are less likely to be diagnosed early but she definitely showed signs. Unfortunately it probably made her more of a target 😢💔
I was also sadly thinking the same. Mama of a gorgeous autistic girl myself.
She wasn’t nonverbal though. I don’t know where Danielle got that from but it’s not true. They played a recording in the trial in the closing statements. It was Tessa’s last phone call with Layla and she was talking to her a bunch! She was counting and chatting as much as any two year old baby! She couldn’t communicate like her 4 year old sister, obviously and it was speculated that that was the only reason Layla took the brunt of the abuse. But she definitely wasn’t nonverbal.
Not necessarily, my oldest didn't want to talk until she was 4. even at 5 in kindergarten she talked very babish..
But could solve little puzzles at 18 months.
She's perfectly healthy and now talks too much.
Kids are just different.
Im a guidance counselor in the U.S. and have worked with many many foster students/ case managers. Some case managers are amazing, but it’s far and few in between. There are SO many who do not answer calls, do not take abuse/ neglect reports seriously, and just completely ignore suspicious behavior. Often they have way too large of a caseload and/or there’s no where else to put the children - NOT an excuse though.
Our system is so broken 💔
Gotta love these spineless spouses who know about abuse, but just allow it to go on...ugh. So many people failed these children. It makes me sick that this continues to happen. Social workers need to be held more accountable. I know they are often overwhelmed by cases, but come on! RIP beautiful Layla. I wish nothing but healing and happiness for her sister, she truly deserves it.
Omg!!! She is beyond adorable!! She looks like a precious good natured toddler!!😢
Seeing her still smiling with her broken leg just broke my heart xx 💔
I pray Millie to have found a good loving peaceful home, where she is loved and supported, and is healing. I pray she gets a stable happy successful future.
Millie was adopted before the trial even started. Her adoptive mother testified in trial as well.
People are getting more evil. CPS is pretty much useless. They just don't care. Everyday children "go missing" at the hands of their parents/step parents. It's very sad. I don't even believe that many of these parents who want to have children start out with good intentions. They want someone to use as a punching bag to take out their frustrations. Everyone failed Layla & Millie. Why did the physicians never call the police in? The saddest photo is Layla sitting there with the cast on her leg with a big smile on her face😢. Christopher Gregor did the same to Corey. He beat him do bad, he lacerated the heart & liver. These people are psychopaths! Even if Tessa did do this why wouldn't Jennifer then take her to the hospital. OMG what an obvious lie! Samantha should have gone to jail along with Joseph & Jennifer. Poor Millie. It's heartbreaking listening to her💔 . RIP Sweet Layla🕊🤍
The only time Jennifer took her was when she broke her leg and she had a perfectly “understandable” excuse……she’s in gymnastics! Regardless, she was told to take Layla to Children’s Hospital of Atlanta, she agreed and told them she was going straight there, but obviously didn’t. They had no reason to be suspicious. Samantha White on the other hand was adamantly covering her ears to drown out all the suspicion Jennifer gave her!! 😡😡😡
Can u please cover the case of Moses Sithole. He’s South Africa’s biggest serial killer. He was found guilty of 38 murders and 40 rape charges.
Wow what a fitting name
😮 I've never heard of this guy
@@ecb1979 my grandpa told me about him. I was shocked 😮.
If you have to tell a child “don’t tell anybody”….you KNOW your treatment of them is dirty.
it cracks me up when people say “innocent baby,” which they do a lot. i HAVE to meet the guilty babies!
great vid as always, Lady D 🙏
This is so horrific. I got chills listening to this terrible story.
Having kids myself always makes these cases so much harder to listen to and even harder to comprehend
My heart hurts for Precious Laila, and her Sister.I hope Millie is Safe, and Loved! Prayers for Both Little Girls. 💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏
I mean Millie. Sorry about that!
Danielle you give so much detail.. even when it’s hard to hear, it’s important. You are a great activist for these victims, I hope your soul is okay at the end of each night.
I went to college at Georgia State University with her!! We were literally like in the same college "homeroom" it basically kept a set of new college students together for freshman and sophomore years. Also took other basic courses with her and even worked on group projects with her! She was very "normal" and nice. I was completely mind blown when I saw this story on the news!!
Children are such a precious gift. Jennifer and Samantha are a pair of snakes. When will people learn to see what they sometimes witness?
This made me cry. How does a child get taken from an unfit mother just to get murdered by the foster parent. System is trash
This NEVER should've happened to these sweet babies. I pray Milly has found love, peace, and safety wherever she is today. I pray little Layla is at peace. RIP ❤
As a fellow foster child grown up this case infuriates me!
I had a bad & traumatic time with my childhood & foster care. I felt my foster carers only did it for the money.
So many foster carers aren’t fit for the job and do opposite of what the job is it’s so evil she should have never got approved, yes she was in foster care due to not her fault but she should know better than the way she treated that girl.
I wouldn’t ever treat a child in my care like crap if I was a foster carer because I know what being in foster care is like, the child needs protecting and nurturing that’s why they are in care.
Oh you aren't reaching at all, I seen it too. Were she's about to come unglued, then pulls it back in. Like, I'm not unhinged or crazy. This woman is a piece of work
normally these don’t get to me, but i’m pregnant and seeing that baby trying to smile through the pain of a broken leg and all of those injuries killed something in me
This one really got me. I’m a mum of a 2.5 years old little girl and I’m absolutely disgusted by this evil b. I can’t even find my words. If only the case worker had been a caring one she could have been saved. Absolutely disgusting
I lived with an unstable roommate that wasnt quite that bad but almost. She moved out after a few months to her parents who took care of the baby because she turned into a drug zombie. I had to live every day worried what I was gonna find after I came home from work. The mother was 21,unemployed and her boyfriend was in jail. Little Rozz was the sweetest cutest baby and I helped watch him when I was hime. But she wasnt a good mother. She had mental problems and was depressed about the father not being there. I had to tureaten cps in her because I came home to her having the space heater on high with the door closed and Rozz covered all the way with a heavy quilt. I flipped it off him and the poor baby was sweating and dehydrated. The mother had visits from a social service worker but shed always sufarcoat things. She clipped his nails too close and made them bleed ine time. She hit Rozz for crying when she was on the phone. I dont know what she did when I was at work. Im glad shes out of my house and Rozz is in better care now. That was 2011 so hed be 13 now.
That's horrible! Glad you got out of that situation...
This is so sad and really hits home. My Fiancé was fostered and he tells me some of the awful things that he has been through when being fostered. Alot of people become Foster carers for the money and not for the love of children xx
Those poor babies. Prayers for them and Tessa too. You could see the pain in her face.
I was a foster child for 3 years when I was 5-8 years old . had a wonderful family they wanted to adopt me but I was able to go back home to my mom and my brothers where things went great. I’m still in contact with them today n I’m 47 this makes me sad and angry
Just about one or two weeks ago there was something on the Swedish news about a doctor from the Mediterranean that had been arrested for "messing around" with small children at the hospital he worked at. He was caught right before he was about to pick up his newly born baby from a Ukrainian surrogate mother. I don't want to think about what his intentions were regarding that child.
😢😧🤮
Oh no 😮
‘Give me a child until he is 7;and I give you the man’. Aristotle.
14:38 It's true that children of abuse are more likely to become abusers themselves. That doesn't mean that every abused child grows up to abuse it just means there's a higher rate of abusers compared to the general population.
This absolutely breaks my heart. These poor children didn’t deserve any of this. I hope these monsters never see the light of day again. RIP ANGEL❤️
The way I would jump so fast to get those kids out of there, had I been an adult around them. This was a very hard video to stomach. I work with nonverbal children. I was also a foster child myself. This is honestly my worst nightmare. I do not understand how the case worker could fail to save them. The mother must be completely traumatized. I cannot imagine being vulnerable enough to recognize that the kids need to leave the home, to then hear how much they suffered while they were away.
I was abused as a child very badly. I promised myself that if I ever had children, I would never put my hands on them. My son is 44 years old and I kept that promise. I never wanted to make my child afraid of me like I was afraid of my abuser. I still have scars, but as I got older, I covered them up with tattoos. I decided to put beautiful tattoos over the scars so I wouldn’t have to look at them. This is so tragic and heartbreaking. There’s nothing worse in this world than hurting a defenseless child. I am not a violent person, but if I’m going to get in to a fight, I wait until I’m matched in size. I would gladly be violent towards Samantha and Jennifer.🤛🏽🤛🏽💪🏽💪🏽 In a heartbeat😡😡 it takes a lot to make me cry, but this video I had tears streaming down my face. Leila truly was a beautiful little girl and was taken away from two monsters, actually three because of Samantha. I’m glad Jennifer and her husband didn’t get the death penalty. I’m sure they’ll be suffering enough in prison, especially after the inmates know what the two of them did. In a perfect world Samantha should’ve been charged as well for neglect as a caseworker she got off lucky by only being fired. I always try to figure out why I was abused and there were four of us children, but I was the one that was singled out. I had a different father and my mother hated him and I think every time she saw me she saw him. The only thing that I think I did wrong was being born.
Rest in Peace Beautiful Angel 😔🐶🐰🐱🦄🦋🌹🌸🌼🪻💐🌺🌷🪷🥀🧸🕊️🩷
Poor Layla...this is heartbreaking. RIP little angel.
I just want to give both these girls a hug 😢 they were so failed by the system
Ok so this case is different than many of the child abuse cases I’ve seen….. in so many others , case workers won’t even actually see the child …. Of course with the reason ,” they are too overwhelmed with too many children that they can’t see them all.”
In Layla’s case the caseworker actually did see the kids , talked to the daycare, went to the gymnastics class …… yeah she went but DID NOTHING 🤬🤬🤬
There’s no excuse! These caseworkers need to be held accountable BY THE COURT ! Not just lose a job but be prosecuted. It’s disgusting!!!!
Excellent work on Layla’s case. Thank you for introducing us to Layla & brave Millie ❤️
Wishing Millie love , happiness and the help she needs to heal.
Rest in peace sweet Layla ❤️🕊️
Danielle, you have a Truly Beautiful Heart! Thank You for giving these Innocents a Voice!💜💜💜💜💜💜
38:32 sweet little Millie is such a hero! I pray for her healing. I hope that she’s doing good today.
I truly don't understand how people can treat childeren like that. Childeren are little bundels of joy and they should be loved not tortured and beaten
