That poor boy. Abused by his parents and then abused by the legal system. Shameful.
I completely agree with you Emma, really well presented. Thank you.
This makes me sad and somewhat reflective. As someone who suffered severe systematic abuse from a step mother I can relate to this boy. At the age of 13 my life was threatened and I knew if I didn't get out of that house either I would die or she would. I ran away at 5am in the morning before she woke and I made the journey to my grandparents where I knew I was walking away from one kind of abuse to another.... my step grandfather had sexually abused me from the age of 7. Still, to me, that was more tolerable than the physical, mental and emotional abuse I suffered daily. I was a child and in hindsight I made a terrible choice but I did what I had to in order to survive.... Jacob did the same in my opinion. He was a desperate child who took desperate measures.
I am so sorry for what happened to you! I hope you have a good life now! 😪
❤
@@milenkagrears621 I managed to escape my situations and made a new life for myself in a different country. I had my own children and broke the toxic cycle within my family. I also went on to help others who have struggled with childhood abuse. I decided not to become a statistic but it could have been so very different.... I am thankful it wasn't.
@@LadyLoki-09 I am so glad that you have managed that! it must take incredible strenght! I wish you all the best in life! xxx
I'm sorry you went through such horrible things and I hope you're in a better place now.
it kills me to know that abuse like this still goes on every day. 😔
I greatly appreciate your transparency on your background and biases. Everyone is biased, no matter how objective they try to be. I personally think being knowing and making others aware of personal biases is much more objective than dismissing or ignoring them.
I wish that a LOT more creators on social media (& tv) would declare their biases. Many viewers appear to have blind-faith in their favourites on social media to be giving them facts, not “Fake News”. 🙄
I spent 10 years working with children in the care system who, the majority, had been abused. I feel so upset and angry about this case and the treatment of Jacob. The sentence was definitely wrong. He definitely should not have recieved a life sentence, nor should he have been put in an adult high security prison and he definitely should have been able to give evidence on the stand. This case makes me tearful. It's so sad ❤
Has to be said the editing on the videos is superb! Also Emma just never stops when she starts she can talk for a full hour with no edits Wow what a class act.
She’s amazing isn’t she? ❤️
What editing?
@@jmacmcfc4662 although the video has been done live, someone, I think it’s Emma’s partner or brother, puts the video together. Music and pictures etc.
@@xxzvictimxx3902 still very basic editing is my point
@@jmacmcfc4662 you can still do basic badly. I think the editing is great. I love the opening. Great music & great visuals.
Congrats with the sponsorship Emma your channel totally deserves it and you rock!
Poor. Kids

Yes 100% agree 👍
I have an abusive alcoholic parent and I always wondered why, as an adult, his angry face can still root my feet to the floor. I literally cannot move - now I know, Emma. I wonder how some mothers don't want to protect their kids, too. I'd take a bullet for mine. Humans are so complex
This case hits so damn close to home. I suffered similar things between 11-16 by my mother and her partner. I am so empathetic with these boys. Having the strength to fight back is incredibly difficult. It is painful, it is hard to gain any part of your life back after escaping these hell holes. It's a difficult thing to face personally, it really does mess you up your life. I am 29 and I am still working through what happened to me and the psychological consequences. Thank you for the in depth discussion of this. I do appreciate how you put this case across. Thank you.
Katie A it’s why now, I share my story. The more we are open about it, the more we can prevent others from similar abuse in the future. And thank you. ❤️
Emma also has a meditation video for child abuse.
Listened to it many times 😔
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Really well deserved sponsorship. You are clearly a hard working, intelligent and insightful woman who wants to have her voice heard. I think you are rapidly becoming an icon for women everywhere who want to be taken seriously. Not all heroes wear capes...
My son’s girlfriend father died when she was 11, and a new man moved in and sexually abused her for years with her mom’ s ok, and older brother ok too. She finally told at school. She has seizures now, just trauma caused. He never did jail time, probably groomed the family.
I understand, he is not a monster. The Mendez brothers in Calif. killing their parents was big, but it turned out they were horribly abused too.
Theres a man where I live whos mother married a man who then proceeded to build a sex dungeon to take him and his sisters into and his mother knew all about it. He didn't do any jail time either both him and his sister left home at 16 and joined the forces to get away from him. If so e man came I to my life and did that he'd be thee one going in the dungeon while I phoned the police. There are some sick I dividuals out there and I feel for Jacob people can only take so much.
I adore Emma as a professional and as an individual. The amount of compassion and effort that is put into all of these videos are so evident, it really shows her as a person. Another great video, I can’t wait for the next one.
Totally agree Jade! I have so much respect for Emma as a professional and as a fellow human being, but have total admiration for her as a content creator. Every video is 100% captivating and has me glued from the moment I click play, till the very end.
I love how strongly opinionated she is and everything is presented with total conviction and belief in her position.
Totally refreshing, especially with the professionalism and paperwork to back up those beliefs and view points.
I have a lot of sympathy for what Jacob had to deal with throughout his childhood. Looking forward to hearing your insight on this one xxx
So happy ur getting supposed
His case was not what you would call fair.glad he got out and hope his life is good.Thank for telling jacobs story .Stay away from the bad gangs Jacob.Regards from Ireland
Wow! This was a hard watch! I was very young when I had my children and didn’t cope well and I once told my beautiful son Jacob that I hated him ( I hoped my parents who were present ATM would realise how much I was falling into the black hole ) nobody came to our rescue and I still beat myself up for that day even though Jake is now 32. I am afraid to talk about it to him as I don’t want to open old wounds or tell him something he has forgotten. Jacob is a lovely young man who I am very proud of. The tears are flowing as I write this again
Make sure Jacob knows how much you love him, and forgive yourself. Hopefully, he doesn’t recall that comment from long ago.
I know this is an old comment but as someone that has long term post partum depression (miscarriage) and has a kid son;
I found it very healing for both of us to talk about my feelings and that I never meant to hurt his feelings but if I did I'm sorry.
Especially now that your kid is an adult, I think it would be good to talk about it
Yes, I had to fast forward a few seconds here and there 🤦♀️😔😖❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🕊.
Sweety as parents there is a familiarity that comes between parents and children, you will never love anything more, but we can hurt each other so much, as a single parent with 2 boys, once they were teenagers, my youngest had obvious adhd from 8 months but I refused to believe it until the school said medicate him or we'll expel him at 11, the 3 of us struggled severely, I enlisted a counsellor, one for me and one for them and we openly discussed everything. When I apologised for various things I never said but... or if you hadn't done this I just said I'm human I screwed up and not coping and I'm so sorry. And they said huh, what are you talking about, oh that, I never even thought about it 🤦♀️🥲 sometimes we hate ourselves more than we need to. And sometimes we don't need to go back, just do our best and move forward ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🕊🥲🐨🦘🇦🇺🕊.
Reminds me of the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story a little.. people can only take so much abuse. I actually nearly got sick listening to this . Thank you for your work amazing as always
Leaving home as a youngster from an abusive home and leaving your younger sibling behind affects you forever. I can't put it into words.
I know I am not the only one who cried listening to this. Thank you for your insight and standing in your truth about how you felt about this case. So glad you started your channel. I only knew you in 'soundbites' from those ITV (?) shows. this is such a treat to hear your full and complete take on a situation
Cannot wait for this tonight! I'm currently at home with Covid and your channel is what's been keeping me going during isolation! Keep up the amazing work Em xx
Becky Marshall I'm so sorry you're sick...wishing you a very speedy recovery! You're in my thoughts...GET WELL SOON! Sending a big virtual hug! xoxo hydie 🙏❤
@@hydie0073 Thank you Hydie! That’s so kind of you xx
Hope you get better soon XX
@@StolenFromMe Thank you :) xx
Aw no, get better soon Becky! X
This one was a hard one. Evil parents, evil defence, evil judge. I have 2 sons and when they were young I was like you as a parent (I am lucky they were great sons) If anyone had ever touched my sons I would be doing time. I suffered abuse and I made damn sure my sons didn't suffer. Well done Emma on the sponsor. Even though you do not know any of us IRL we are all your friends. xxx
I love the compassion and understanding you use from which to educate us about such traumatic events.
This case is self-defence. Such a sad case. Congratulations on the sponsorship Emma!!... xXx 🖤🖤🖤
Even more heart breaking because it was more for protecting & saving his brother as well.
I would love to hear your opinion on the Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose case. I know it is quite popular, but I agree with your stance on this case and would love to see your thoughts on Gypsy Rose who was abused (in a different way) also! Great video, really love your content.
This is the hardest episode to watch, with the exception of the rape, this was my childhood. I only have started to come to terms with it - I’m 58. While I think the scream killers should die in jail, this case is nothing like that. I’m Australian, we don’t have guns in the house. If we did, I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same. This episode hurts, this man should be allowed the chance to have some sort of life. 😢😞😔🥺
I’m thankful on a regular basis that we don’t have guns in our homes in England. I’m sorry that happened to you when you were a child, but I’m glad you’re starting to come to terms with it. You’re still young enough to have a fabulous life and I wish exactly that for you. Take care - from a fellow warrior x
❤
I low-key like to pretend you’re the cool, true crime loving big sister I never had. Is that cringy? I don’t care. 😂 Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this channel. It’s a wonderful, if not slightly morbid distraction. 😊💕
It’s not cringe ! I absolutely love that .😀😉😘❤️. Em x
My support worker kay .... reminds me of emma kays so much like emma v peace out rachel uk devon bideford v ps we our lucky little duckies to be part of emma kenney s crime cult .v
Is pretty cringe
Hi Emma, can you say hello to me and my daughter Bliss!! Love your channel
@@jmacmcfc4662 oh hush
I appreciate the way you presented this case! It really DOES matter what the circumstances are. When the victim of S.A. kills someone that’s abusing them, well, they should only get a half sentence. I guess the perpetrator just shouldn’t have been doing that and they wouldn’t have got killed.
If only this boy had had a half decent defense attorney, he would have gotten off much, much easier than he did. Who knows: Maybe he hadn't become a white supremacy nutter then...? I have watched American history X. It is one of the most gripping movies I've ever watched. I must have watched hundreds of movies in my life, and this is easily on my Top 10. Absolutely captivating! Thank you for being angry and emotional, Emma! 🥰
OMG just watched American History x wow thank you for the heads up on this film wow 😢😢😢 for a 1988 film it was amazingly portrayed and so sad that this still happens xxx
I started watching it but it was just too triggering for me. 😔
You should watch This is England. It’s like the British version of American History X
In some American prisons joining a gang is pretty much a matter of life or death. The USA is highly divided by race so the White Power gangs were probably his only option for protection.
Vulnerable prisoners are not protected in American prisons as they are in other developed nations prisons. (I know that very few countries prisons are beyond reproach but the USA seems to tolerate shocking levels of physical & brutal sexual attacks on their convicts!)
@@NikkieTwix did u watch the tv series? It’s so good!
My god. My heart breaks for Jacob. Thank you for your compassion and insight Emma.
My siblings and I were abused for years. I completely understand him and zero sympathy for the parents.
This. When Emma said his parents didn’t deserve to die all I could think was, “ehh, I think maybe they did.” People who do horrific things to children do deserve to die.
It was my mother. My father never knew until l was adult and saw and heard her. He did not know what to say he just cried one of only times I saw him cry 😢
I have binge watched every episode this week after finding you! I can’t believe I will have to wait from week to week! I need at least one every day! Love this channel
It felt so long when I had to wait a whole week so lucky to have 2 a week now but like you 1 a day would be brilliant x
I feel so incredibly sad for Jacob and his brother. I totally understand why he just wanted his parents gone.
I was a victim of abuse,i must have been 4 when started my sister was 5.
He was our step dad he said if we told are mum she would leave us.
My mum died in 1979 and I believed she died because I had said something I shouldn't have.after my sister took on that roll and I just got battered black and blue.he was sent jail in 1992 after he was caught with my nieces x
35.24 in and hearing about what him and his brother went through with his step dad had me in tears 😢. As a grown man I don't like to admit it but this made me feel very emotional... As usual brilliant work Emma you're Amazing!!
43.01 Lol You're so funny!!
Jacob will be very welcome here in Northern Ireland. We are not the savages that we appear to be in the media. ‘Cead mile failte’ One hundred thousand welcomes.☘️🧤🌈
I believe his being sent to a high offenders prison was wrong. Two life sentences were wrong. I am glad he eventually got out.
I do believe he needed to be punished but not like that. I hope his step father and mother rot in hell for what they did.
🤗🤗🤗🕊❤️🩹🐨🦘.
Ireland is so beautiful and I know he’ll be happy there. ❤
Jacob, welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪! Be married& happy w out the cultists and white racist viewpoint; now you're a man and must protect& be a sweet, kind human being.were sorry for what happened to u.kit w your bro in the statez...great case
Omg. Love all your crime Emma. But this case is so disturbing😢 poor jacob had a horrible life had to leave here a couple off times to take a break. That's how heartbreaking and disturbing it was 💔. Jacob will definitely be made welcome here in Northern Ireland🥰
I absolutely can't imagine what a horrendous life poor Jacob must have had up until 15. It is totally shocking. Nothing can make up for the 27 years he lost inside, locked in with that pain and trauma. I hope he is realises that racism is just another form of abuse and he lives the rest of his days happily and productively, making use of the PHD and finally gaining peace and happiness. 🙂
Thanks Emma as always for your dedication. ✌️
Amazing news that you’ve now got a sponsor . The best true crime channel on CZcams . Finally someone who actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to crime 🧐
Wow 😮 I found this so powerful. I had never heard of this case before. I can't believe everything that Jacob and his brother went through. How can any parent treat their children that way or let anyone else treat their children that way. Imagine living in fear day in and day out. When you said he use to literally throw them into the bathroom I cried 😢 They must of felt pure terror. He shouldn't of been tried as an adult at all. He should of been allowed to speak at his trial. He needed better advice, he needed better support. Every single person basically failed him, apart from his brother. Teachers, Friends, Social workers and so called Family, should be ashamed that not one of them stepped in to stop this. You delivered this case spot on Emma and I was gripped from the start. I'm now going to watch Jacobs interviews 👍
Ok so now at the end of video: this is one of the times where I had to stop and give my opinion on the questions that you asked, Emma. Yes my heart does break for Jacob and the abuse that he had to go through to get to the point of no return. I DO have great hope for rehabilitation for this type of young person. 🥺 I pray that he goes on to have a great life.This was one of the toughest to watch. I’ve seen and been through a lot, and this was rough.
His wife has been in touch and they are doing well. X
Oh my 😢 I feel so sorry for him. As a mother I teach my kids the importance of privacy and teaching them That no one, NO ONE is allowed to look at them or touch them against their will. Not me, not their school nurse or doctor. I am always taking time of from work for their school nurse/doctors appointments so That I can make sure they have protection and able to give full consent to the examinations they are supposed to have. Poor boy 💔
As much as i really enjoy your channel,i can't help the feeling that you should be reaching a much wider audience,i hope the channel grows and grows.
Agreed
He should never have gone to prison if all you say is true.
I’m English. I’ve often thought that sentences aren’t long enough for many crimes, particularly sexual ones, in this country. I lived & worked in Texas, USA for many years. I was horrified by the severity of punishments AND the violence & rape which is so very common! I guess that somewhere in the middle would be better…
Excited, have my viewing planned for later, watching in the bath with a vino! Love your video's and personal insights :)
Good to know about the really friendly child. My son takes ages to look or say hi to strangers
A decent defence he wouldn’t have been sent to jail
Hi Emma. No way on earth should he have been tried as an adult. He wasn’t a brutal killer. I fully understand why he did what he did. He needed to sent to a secure unit for young people to have a period of treatment and rehabilitation to make him understand the gravity of his actions, the experts would’ve been able to say whether or not it was safe to release him. I am personally glad that he has his freedom back, and wish him well in the new life he hopefully will get.
Always look forward to your videos. Thankyou for all the effort you put in it is noticed and appreciated x
I watched a documentary that featured and interview with Jacob and I couldn't help but feel so sorry for him. The fact that his mother stood by and let this happen makes me so angry.
Poor boy should never have been put in prison.
If I were that boy, I would have refused to go to prison. I would have told them no.
I can hear the empathy in your voice. This is why I love your channel. You have a heart we could all wish for
You are always so upbeat and happy Emma, always giving that happy presence to others whilst a great documentary being told!! Cheers Emma x

Thank you Emma! Another one to look forward to tonight 👍😀👏♥️♥️
I agree. I can’t even really imagine what it would be like to grow up in that environment. This poor boy was horribly treated over and over again. Thank goodness he is now out and has a wife! I hope he is able to make it to Ireland, what a beautiful way to live out the rest of his life 🙏
Jacob was a victim of not only his abusive parents but also the justice system in America. I truly feel sorry for him no child should live that life!!!
ah ur my absolute favorite emma! cheers & love from a dear fan across the pond ❤️
That was a hard listen. I can't imagine the life those boys had to live. Thanks Emma for this case xx
So happy for your sponsorship! Absolutely thrilled you’re getting the recognition you deserve, Lovely! ✨⭐️
I think Jacob should have got a medal not a prison sentence, poor guy, I hope he can find some happiness and contentment in life. Thanks Emma, congratulations on the sponsorship.
So excited for the alibi show, Nicola Walker is freaking amazing!! I don’t blame Jacob at all for this crime, I desperately wanted to kill my abuser (just so as not to panic anyone, he’s dead now and it was cancer not me!) and it was in no way this extreme. How can you blame a child for wanting this awful pain and trauma to end! Heartbreaking!
I feel like the White Supremacy aspect of his life is a lack of identity, going to prison at 15 he's barely developed his own identity, I hope he snaps out of that because he seems like he has a lot to offer and has real potential to give back to society and settle down with a nice girl.
I feel so bad for Gabriel, he was clearly mentally vulnerable and was kind of fed to the wolves by Jacob, I feel like his death is on Jacobs hands.
Incredible insight Emma! Passionate and although opinionated still balanced.
In some American prisons joining a gang is pretty much a matter of life or death. The USA is highly divided by race so the White Power gangs were probably his only option for protection.
Vulnerable prisoners are not protected in American prisons as they are in other developed nations prisons. (I know that very few countries prisons are beyond reproach but the USA seems to tolerate shocking levels of physical & brutal sexual attacks on their convicts!)
Had a long chat on the phone with my son. Last words I said were “ I love you.” I can’t imagine telling my son I hate him. I can’t imagine hurting my son in any way. It would be like stabbing myself in the heart
this boy was let down so badly by all people around him and by the system growing up. Biggest RESPECT for his brother for telling the whole story for him.
OMG Emma, I can't believe I forgot to mention this like...weeks ago. If you've not already got it on your list, pleeease take a look at Paris Bennett. It's the case that got me into true crime. Fascinating. Death of a child, I'll warn you now, but the explanation given and the family behind it....we need that insight of yours on this case!
Ay!! You got your wish!!x
Time to unwind listening to this whilst tucked up, can't get much better 👍.
Congratulations on the sponsor! Felt like a friend recommending a television show, thank you for your commitment to producing excellent content!
Can't wait to watch the show and discuss.
What a sad case, thank you highlighting the importance of boundaries with children and presenting this case in such a sympathetic way, my heart goes out to Jacob and his brother.
I love your opinions on the backgrounds it really helps me, I left my abusive household about 7 years ago and it still effects me daily
At nearly 30 I look back at the girl I was at fifteen and I barely recognise that girl tbh. And I would love to say that abuse or neglect during my childhood has not largely shaped me into the woman I have become but it has. 🤷🏻♀️ obviously killing people is never ok or never the answer but the grey area you mentioned is astonishingly large and impossible to overlook if we truly want to understand people x
Since you’ve touched on kids who definitely should not be released from prison, would be interested on your take of the Paris Lee Bennett case.
I second that
Definitely!
You got your wish!!x
@@ktcooki276 I was so stoked, it was such a good vid
You are my favourite true crime presenter, I can't praise you enough Emma, absolutely brilliant thankyou so much for your unbiased approach and commitment to every story you bring us x
I'm breaking a generational curse laid upon me by a family member in the late 80s. The last 40 years have been an emotional roller coaster for my family and I. Luckily I regurgitated to my partner which lead to taking the predator to court. Since then it has been a learning and healing process. I can relate to the brothers totally.
The mental and emotional pain is life long. So many people get affected by these predators.
Love your channel Emma keep making them waves❤
I always look forward to your videos Emma! Thank you so much for all your effort .
All of last week whilst I was away I was having withdrawal symptoms!! You're channel and vids are what keeps me going SO much. I love them!
I burst into tears watching this. I shouldn’t be able to rest ego any of what these boys went through, but I sadly know almost all of it all too well. Thank you for covering this
2 minutes in and OMG! Get you and your sponsor Em! Nice one! Xx
“Spooks” is called “MI-5” in the US. Note to Americans,: “spooks” is slang for “spies” in the UK.
Congrats with the sponsorship Emma. Looking forward to the show. Guaranteed to be good with Nicola Walker in it. Amazing actress.
I remember seeing you on TV shows and thinking how compassionate you are. I don't think I've ever come across anyone who can truly understand and articulate what someone might have been through as well as you do.
Jacob needed punishment and help, but he should not have been in prison with adults. Just awful his entire childhood was stolen, then 25 more years lost in prison.
I'm happy he got out, albeit far too many years later and has found someone to share his life with.
Poor guy should never have been sent to prison, he wanted out from the abuse and because nobody would listen he had no choice but do what he did.
yes yes YES to Nicola Walker - love her in everything she does but one of my favourites is River - writing this before I get on with watching this episode. While I'm writing - what is your introductory music??
Another fantastic video from Em. It is such a tragic case. Society let him down greatly as a child and then continued to let him down massively as an adult. His parents deserved solitary confinement for 40 years. He deserved help, therapy and care. Thank you Em
Went on the journey and changed my mind! Well done on your sponsorship, I can’t wait to watch Tuesday night x
Looking forward to your take on this #stayawesome❤️
Epic narration thanks Emma…. I’m with you, poor chap but cults are baaaaad!
It's wonderful that you have sponsorship! Well done Emma, you deserve it!
It's absolutely awful that Jacob was given any sentence at all, bless him! I'm so glad that his "defence" lawyer was stripped of his licence! American History X is a brilliant film, Edward Norton is an amazing actor!
Hi Emma have listening to your podcast for the last month now and it has really been life changing. My views on victims and perpertrators has taken a massive paridgm shift you bring so much insight and clarity to the conversation. This was a truly horrendous case but i totally agree with you on every point, in fact I think tougher consequences should be given to lawyers who handle such cases in such an inept manner. Keep up the great content it really is educational in spirit.
Very good EM and no they got what was coming to them well Done to him for doing that👏👏👏👏all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪looking forward to Wednesday EM 👍XOXO
I've been busy with a new job and I've missed your content SO much! I have so many comments I want to post whilst watching, but I've waited tonight. You've nailed this story. It reads as my own. Might be weird, but I'm happy to see someone as disgusted as I. Plus, I love your sarcasm. 🤷♀️ Jacob didn't deserve to endlessly pay for his parent's destruction. I'm glad he's free now. Way to late, but I'm happy. Go be happy Jacob. You've earned it.
I’ve watched so many of Nicola Walkers programmes. The way she takes on each role is phenonimal. Annika is such a good programme. Waiting on the next ep for season 2 to air.
Emma you're just amazing. I'd love to hear the story of your life, working life schooling and accomplishments. You're fascinating. I work in adult/young people social care and I want to become an advocate. I agree these young people need a voice. You're one of these voices. I'm in awe of you 💓
I can feel your emotions regarding this case.. Thank you for your information on abuse and the fact that teens are not heard. Psychological care seems to never happen in prison.
Congratulations on being sponsored Emma.....delighted for you, so well deserved.
Your presentation and production level is absolutely amazing Emma! 😍
I love that you bring such professionalism to the 'scene' and have the credentials to back it up.
The way I see him, he didn’t necessarily want his parents killed, he wanted the horror to stop and that is the only way he knew how to make the pain go away. This case goes much deeper than just an angry kid wanting vengeance against parents who restrict their children. There was trauma, hurt and fear in every aspect of his life. My heart just ached hearing this case. I just wanted to hug him. When you said about him hurting that boy with the locker door I’m sure it was because he saw that as retaliation and anger to his situation rather than hurting the boy specifically. He is the victim in this case and I feel that his parents (albeit one was a step parent, and I use that word lightly because they didn’t deserve the right to have that privileged title) are now where they deserve to be so that they can’t hurt anyone else. I wish him well as he puts his life back together.
Thank you, Emma, for your passion & understanding for the children of abuse. You are a wonderful advocate for these vurnerable, violated children.
Jacob was failed on so many levels throughout his life &, despite taking tbe ultimate action of killing his abusive parents, I feel such sympathy for him. It is almost impossible to comprehend his humiliation, pain & anguish. Suffice it to say that it had to have been horrendous enough that he felt his only recourse was to murder his tormentors, albeit that action being very extreme. I am so pleased that he has been freed but I worry that he now has to negotiate this world without help, as he acclimatises to that world which he does not recognise or understand. I am also concerned about his religious affiliations, but, hopefully, he will embrace a more open-minded view of his fellow man as he makes his new journey.
Poor man. He has so much to learn about life on the outside & much self adjustmment ahead. I wish him the very best in whatever future endeavours he undertakes.
Emma, you truly are a force of nature - your experience, dignity, empathy for the trials & tribulations of the unfortunates of our world & your ability to educate us on the difficulties & subtleties of the human condtition is unparrelled.
Thank you & much love from Ireland
I think this is my favourite episode so far (despite the tragic circumstances obviously). Your insights are what make these docs so good. It's the human touch that is rarely brought to these subjects.

You are the ONLY true crime CZcamsr to cover his case...THANK YOU!!
It was a case I NEEDED to cover as I felt there was a great injustice. Since I released this his wife has been in contact to make it clear he isn’t in any white supremacist group and also to let me know that he is happy xxxx
This is why context around these types of cases needs and must be in the forefront of the public’s mind. It’s so important for regular people to know what the signs of abuse are and ensuring boundaries are well and truly established when going into a new relationship when one has children, from everything I’ve read around this predators are manipulative and there are lots of different signs you can look out for. Thanks for all you do, love your content ❤️
Absolutely Brilliant Emma 🌈 I really felt your passion on this one. Parents deserved it but they didn’t suffer enough 😡
I was a very fortunate to be born into a loving happy home with 3 sisters. I then married my husband and had 2 boys and twin daughters who died shortly after birth . We were married for 6 weeks shy of our 44th anniversary when he died in his sleep. When I watch these kinds of true crime videos on child abuse I say a prayer thanking God for my good fortune.
Now in one year when I was 24 I lost my mom, dad and twin daughters, but our marriage grew much stronger and I miss my husband every single day! I can’t even imagine what these young people had to endure growing up!
It is really nice that you are having your feelings in it and it is also good that you warn us when you are being bias. Thank You very much.
As a victim of sexual abuse your words and views took me along time to realise that the anger I felt was normal thankyou so much for being real and your honesty
Sad story, hope he finds a happy peaceful life in Ireland. Really enjoying your stories Emma, great story teller.😘☘️🇮🇪
