      My daughter passed in 2020. I 100% understand the “running out of tears” expression. I did it. I couldn’t stop crying. Then I went numb inside. I didn’t cry. I sat silent. I was in a weird haze. I didn’t cry. Even when I talked about her. My feelings were gone. I felt nothing. Life felt like it wasn’t real.
      It’s a coping mechanism. The brain can’t handle the feelings and it shuts down. It’s very very unhealthy and if a person feels that way they should see a dr/therapist.

      I agree with this and not sure if it’s related or not but days apart from this case there was an older man that was caught within that same area for distribution and was apparently inappropriate with several kids in the neighborhood. They found videos of those kids being abused in the drives they recovered. I remember it being linked to a huge ring but can’t remember the name.

      Dear buttie
      My spelling check kept changing your name lol. I come from an abusive background..I'm 69. It really changes a child and it's hard to navigate life as an aging person. I finished therapy some time ago. One can never change it out past but I no longer have that holding my life prisoner.
      I got to get back to my abuser. And it will affect his life as long as he exists.
      Anyway,you were a child. You didn't deserve any of that..my mom was mentally ill. I forgive her .
      I don't have to forget my abuser not what he did either. I want to tell you that you are courageous.

      Buttie, I feel you. Been there, done that, was 5 yrs old when it happened. My abuser is dead & gone, anyone who harms a child like this is a vile coward. I had to trust that God will handle it, and I'm sure that He carried out Justice in His own way. Therapy does help, as does venting those negative feelings & thoughts, by channeling them into something positive, making something lovely. I like to grow flowers, veggies and care for my critters. There is hope for a better day, knowing that no one can ever do that to you again. I pray that you find hope in each new day, God Bless you!

I understand that people go through things! I have bipolar disorder, I struggled for years with it, I also raised 4 children and trust me, it wasn't easy! I needed breaks, support, etc. But if I couldn't get it, I just tried my best to make it through. I wouldn't accept help from anyone I didn't trust and I wouldn't have my boyfriend taking on this intimate role with my children.

I'm not convinced she's not a sadist. She needs to be punished. Her job was to love and protect her child. Period. I don't give a shit about her mental health issues.

    Jenn Soto has paid the ultimate price for putting her child in a vulnerable position and allowing Sterns to have the contact he did with the sleeping arrangements. Although, I think Jenn is not quite there mentally and extremely naive, I also believe Stephan would have done what he did even if he wasn’t in harms way. He is clearly manipulative and his lies come across with so much ease it’s scary, pure evil.

    Even if my children come into my room at night my significant other will go sleep on the couch to allow my kids to sleep with me. I’ve had several talks with my kids about what areas are private and for them only. I also advised them that if an adult or older child tells you to keep something secret that’s when you know you have to tell me. I promised them they would never have to be around those people again and that I would protect them. Even if that person threatens them they still need to tell. They know how wrong it is for someone else to do anything whether touching or looking at their private areas. Or showing theirs.
    The fact this mom willingly let her daughter sleep with her boyfriend is disheartening. There is no excuse. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that she didn’t know what was happening. I’m really disappointed that is where this story seems to be going. She was failed in every way.

He probably said "she's sleeping", like out of it, just kinda looking tired, definitely not deceased. And probably strangled her on the top level of parking garage at 9 a.m. & after that he placed her into the trunk 4 hours & than disposed of the body.
