My car broke down when my then ten year old son was in the car. This very nice, kind man offered to take us to a phone box (pre-mobile). When I politely said no thanks he went off his head. Ranting and raving at me about how I had offended him. Did he think that I would get in the car by way of apology and appeasement? I don’t know but I am 100% convinced that had we got in the car that day we would have ended up in a shallow grave
I was sexually abused as a young child by my father and neglected by my mother. I have cptsd and at 55years old am still suffering from the trauma. So much of what you say in your shows I can relate to. I had a breakdown in my twenties after university and spent 10 years locked in a psychiatric asylum. I am now a single mother of two children. My eldest daughter has started university. Yet I suffer from abandonment issues and cannot sustain relationships because of this. I love your show, especially your irony, because you are a natural at explaining exactly what effect both sexual abuse and fear of abandonment have on peoples life. I was told never to have children as I would most likely be an abuser. Thank you for continually pointing out that this is not the case. I worked hard to give both my children an exact opposite childhood to my own. My childhood sexual abuse has had ramifications throughout my life. And surprisingly enough I’ve never hurt of murdered anyone! You are a fantastic speaker with extraordinary insights into childhood trauma and it’s lasting effects. Well done and thank you for your voice.
i was a child of the 40s and 50s and then sexual assault was looked at differently. there were cases where the child was accused of encouraging the perpetrator. thank goodness attitudes have changed.
Are you serious? A child encourage a predator?! Geez, I’m glad I didn’t live then. My mom wasn’t even born then. That sounds like a very scary time to live!
@@WyattRyeSwayIt was horrible back then, I lived as a child through the 60's and encountered so many of my schoolmates being terribly abused and adults protecting the abusive adults, so much ugliness and cruelty among so many humans...I hope so much there is hell after death, many humans deserve it.
I myself was nearly abducted and was sexually assaulted in a park on my way back from school.i was only 7,he asked me to come with him to his car,I know i wouldn’t be here today if I had of went with him,I sensed I was in danger and I ran after he sexually assaulted me,the thing for me was that I was brought up to respect my elders,being in such a dangerous situation and after being assaulted,I still didn’t want to be disrespectful and say no I didn’t want to get in his car,,I was far too polite so I just turned and ran for my life .Fast forward to now,I’m a Mother of 3 and I raised my children to not have that respect for anyone who they sense are going to harm them,they were taught to shout,swear,hit,bite,punch do whatever they could to get away and that they would never ever be told off afterwards for their behaviour,I hate to think that a child could be abducted just because they were too polite to say NO.
DAISY DOO, I just read your comment & FUCK that evil bastard that hurted you , RESPECT to you for always doing the right things in life especially with the way you have brought your children the correct way, honestly Mrs I have nothing but total RESPECT for you!🏴
I done the same as the same happened to me as a 7yr old.told me kids everything. I feel your pain.your a survivor IV just hady 3rd child and I'VE never put my hand ✋ on my two eldest they are 17@18yrs old girl@boy now 17yrs later , IV just had another girl. I'm 39yrs now and the man who done this to me, is in the John of god's for ppl who have lost there minds . I believe in karma. And he is getting his hehehe 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣 I f.ucking hate him
My beautiful mother was sexually abused by her father from very young and for many years, I'm one of 5 and she never once touched us or hit us. She is a fantastic mother 💕
GOD BLESS YOUR MOTHER, I ALSO HAVE A BRILLIANT MOTHER & IF ANYONE WAS TO HURT HER THEN I DONT CARE IF I WOULD GO TO PRISON FOR LIFE , I PROMISE I WOULD KILL THE PERSON 🏴
The majority of us it just makes us even more determined to protect every single child we can I would literally die for a child I’ve never met to stop them being abused
I love how she delves into psychology of criminals yet she doesn't allow that to be an excuse. Responsibility. Knowing right from wrong. Suppressing destructive urges. It all matters!
I have never been a huge fan of those true crime, mini documentaries with short clips from experts. I ❤️ LOVE Emma’s work on this channel. It’s one of my favourites. ❤️
Brilliant! Your description of why serial killers keep killing is a rabbit hole I’ve never considered. Your delivery is spot on as I can tell you are hitting key points, but you are adding so much conversational depth. A truly human touch.
Hey Emma, I don’t mean to be a Debby downer, but just a heads up. The flashing intro is pretty rough for people like me with eye and seizure issues. It definitely took me by surprise. Ps: I’ve truly enjoyed your weekly videos! I’ve been a fan of yours for years, and I’m thrilled you’ve come to CZcams! Thank you for all of your hard work, we love it!!!
I’m obviously not a very nice person because I think death is too easy. I would torture them given the chance. Wow that’s scary isn’t it I always shy away from any argument never mind violence but people like him alter my mindset.
Kitty Genovese was stabbed by a complete stranger, not a boyfriend. Also, he stabbed her, left the scene, and then returned minutes later and stabbed her again. She wound have most likely lived had anyone pulled her into their apartment before the second attack.
And a few people in her apartment building did call the cops when they heard her screams. Unfortunately, the newspapers reported, falsely, that her neighbors ignored her screams. Btw, she was a lesbian and I assume had no boyfriend.
How can anyone argue against the death penalty for child murderers? Emma thanks for analysing these horrific monsters, hope you will you do something on the James Bulger murder.
That’s my guttural response to cases like this. It’s human!! I recently learnt that a truly SHOCKING number of innocent men have been put to death in the USA. As advances in DNA technology are finally identifying serial killers, they are also clearing the names of the men previously convicted for some of their crimes. I’m against the death penalty for several reasons. It clearly doesn’t work as a deterrent but could it have the opposite effect on a culture? I don’t know but liberal, more ‘gentle’ countries, that believe in rehabilitation & human rights have far lower violent crime rates…🤔
@@cherylmyke1693 A sin is only something that a god does not like ... and not everyone beleives in your god or any god, so we should not make societal decisions based on one supernatural entity's proposed likes or dislikes. Anyway, placing him the general population is a death sentence. Just like with the execution of a certain intinerant preacher we are just washing our hands of it and out-sourcing the deed.
I’m becoming addicted to your channel. Primitive editing, no fancy expensive displays, just you, telling me that “once upon a time, there was a Monster”. I love the whole 70’s rocker T’s and opinionated honesty refreshing from some with your ability and background.
I was 8 in Edinburgh when Caroline Hogg went missing - the sheer terror of that time still stays with me. We all knew about Susan Maxwell's disappearance from Coldstream - it's not that far from relatives we spent our summers with in Chirnside, Berwick. This is by far the most in depth documentary of Robert Black I have ever seen and I found it unpausable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the practical tips to get the attention of bystanders - really interesting human behaviours. Robert Black was "The Bad Man in a White Van" of my Scottish childhood and the relief when he finally had a public face upon arrest was palpable. I remember the shock to me as a kid that he did not look like the obvious monster I had imagined. Great video
What blows my mind is that someone could think their sexual gratification is more important than the entire LIFE of another person...a child! Shocking and horrific 😢
The most respectable and underrated true crime channel on CZcams. The amount of forensic psychology I’ve learnt from you from you’re weekly videos compared to hours I’ve watched of “entertainment” style true crime videos which have absolutely no integrity like your videos do. The respect for the victims is all that matters and spreading good moral behaviour and that’s what I learn from you and you’re my new real world role model and I’m so thankful to have found your channel 🏆 ❤️
Emma, your videos are so gripping. I “got in to” true crime because I wanted to learn about the psychology side of it all, what drives these people, nurture vs nature etc. I love how much you weigh in about the psychology, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos!
I always thought that being a psychopath must be such a lonely existence, never being able to truly bond with anyone, a mix between an addict and a vampire... always having to look for 'new blood' and never being satisfied, forever wandering in darkness. But maybe that's just because I have a conscience.. serial killers probably enjoy the thrill and think nothing wrong of their abhorrent behaviour.
Not all psychopaths are serial killers. Not all serial killers are psychopaths. The majority of those who exhibit multiple psychopathic traits aren't even criminals, in the legal sense.
@@Will21st I was being overly pedantic - apologies. I think it's just the way I read & interpreted your comment. I see so many people spreading misinformation in comments' sections but I see that's not what you were doing. Occasionally I can be a bit trigger happy with responses!
I'm still working my way through your backlog, Emma you cover things in such an in depth, psychological and balanced (even when you're furious of their actions like the rest of us). Definitely one of the best channels for covering killers and other criminals especially for difficult topics like this xx
Your advocacy for children is heroic. You are truly amazing. And your channel is bloody brilliant. Not only is your telling of the crimes horrific, but I love your analysis and especially your respect for these beautiful children and how you give them a voice is admirable.
Thank you for standing up for rape victims. I always thought rape was awful etc, but I’d never realised the horrendous effect it has on survivors until my daughter was assaulted 😞 It’s just life changing. So many ramifications all the way down the line.
Im a rape survivor, I suffer from PTSD and am very messed up from it and before I was even raped I was so terrified of it happening that I'd have panic attacks. But it makes me wonder how it is that so many people are unable to recognize how awful and life changing it is to have someone forcefully use and take possession of your body for their own pleasure. Im not saying that you lack empathy or there's something wrong with you- the way you thought seems to be fairly common. Also im sorry about your daughter. I hope she finds peace and is able to get better
yeah my daughter was 7 and her dad had her at weekends and he certin stuff but she did not want to go court police said if she not want to cant make her as traumitised enough. but she 14 now and still not want to see him. but thankfully not effect her she quiet enough though and use to be more lively do you find same?
@@clairebyrne1725 I can almost guarantee that it's still affecting her. I haven't seen a single survivor who said that their assault hasn't affected them, or no longer affects them. I would highly suggest getting her into therapy if she isn't already. Being 14 is hard enough without the trauma your daughter has, and the sooner she gets professional help, the better it will be for her. I hope she continues to recover a move past it, but she will likely be affected by it forever, in some capacity.
@@clairebyrne1725 Your comment caught my eye. Claire my daughter was 12 when it came to light her own father was violently molesting her. 2 years later she has had zero contact w the pedo, and yet despite trauma therapy and rx, she is unfortunately still very much suicidal. I implore you to check on your child's mental health-isolation is a warning sign.
@@bayleighc.5843 completely agree and back your statement. 14 is a terrible age for most girls as it is, but as a surviver myself I will attest that she is still goin to be effected. I wouldnt blame her for never ever wanting to see her perpetrator again. Anyone who thinks victims are able to co exist, visit or have thier rapist and molester involved in their lives without it messing them up further are not only un empathetic but they are also deluded. To have it forced on you is cruel.
I just discovered your channel and love the way you tell these stories. Oh I agree. I think child killers or molesters should be dealt with by a mandatory higher more severe penalty. No parole ever! Castrated + desexed. It's a whole different , disturbing + dark level of crime. when a child is the victim. They re the innocent members of society. It's absolutely heinous.
I was wary coming into this video, I have to say I cried a lot. But the way you treat the material is so respectful of the victims and their families I knew you would treat with a delicate kindness that would soften the blow of the material. Thank you Emma 💕
These poor girls' names and faces are etched on my brain as this happened when I was in Primary School and they formed part of a talk from the local police about saying no to strangers. I didn't know the full details about what Black did until now. Had to steel myself to watch this one. Great as always, Emma.
One of the main reasons I would NEVER upload photos of my kids, especially when they are young. If my kids wanna take selfies and upload them then that's their choice and I would remind them of who could be viewing them, but I certainly would never personally upload photos of them to be perved over potentially or even worse!!!. Don't give child molesters a free pass on your kids!!
Bystander effect story - so I was on a night out when I was about 19. It was about 2 and the pubs were closing, lots of drunk people on the street when I hear screaming. I look over and there's a massive bloke literally kicking kicking his girlfriend's head in and nobody was doing anything. There were big men just stood doing nothing. So me, a small 19 Yr old girl runs over and stands between the two and tell the man that he has to stop. Obviously he didn't and he smashed my head into a chicken shop window. But at this point, other people came over and helped. Sometimes it just takes one person to go and do something to snap everyone into coming to help. At the hospital m mum, once giving my hugs and making sure I was ok, berated me for going over and getting involved. She told me that I should ring the police and not give up on the phone until they understand the situation. She said "please don't be a hero, you don't know what situation you are getting yourself into".
Oh and the bit about not giving up on the phone is so true - I was trying to report a man who had stabbed a woman in the neck with a pen, it was very difficult to get the person to listen, just stay calm and ask another person to explain if they for any reason don’t understand you (I was extremely panicked that day and likely not making sense, so I passed the phone to someone else)
This literally happened at Walmart today almost same thing at least...I was checking out and saw a man and woman arguing next to me. He kept getting louder n more aggressive so I mouthed "are u ok" at her and she shook her head no. I started slowly moving to try to situate my cart to push between them if needed and get her on the side w me away from him. There was tons of people around and many were watching because he was being loud. But no one else stepped in until they saw me trying to help, then a few other people started telling him he needed to back up and chill. But instead he whacked her in the back of the head so hard she fell against my cart. But I grabbed her and put her on the other side of me further from him and tried to push the cart at him cuz I could tell he was coming after us still, but I missed. He had his arm raised to hit me or her or either idk who he was aiming for, but thankfully a guy stepped in and tackled him. Cops came right after. It was super scary I've never seen someone act that way in public before smh. I didn't even think he would hit her let alone me, I thought he had just like momentarily lost his temper n when a stranger interjected he'd realize where he was n calm down maybe, which idk why I just didn't think he was gonna take it that far. But he did!
What a chilling case. I remember this and it had a big impact on me at the time. A lot of the failures to recognise the terrible path Black was on from childhood were from a naivity of the judicial and mental health professionals of the time, but I do wonder just how many Robert Blacks there are out there now, in spite of our apparently more advanced understanding of serial sexual predators in the 21st century. And thank you Emma for your warning and advice to give to our children to protect them from these monsters that stalk our children.
This week I feel like I am treating myself after a really trying time. I missed last weeks episode so I have that and this to watch. On my laptop, in pyjamas, with hot chocolate. I really need all of the above to stay sane 😅 thank you for giving me something to look forward to on Sunday evenings Emma. 💗💗
Thank you so much for your tips on how to be safe, and especially what to teach your children to say if a stranger attempts to take them. Very important knowledge for a very rare but very dangerous situation.
I love the tips you have given for what to shout if being attacked and what to teach your children to say, i have had my daughter AND my husband riveted by repeating things and views you have stated to the point where they have both subscribed too. I love the work you put into your research and i have watched a lot of true crime youtubers, you are definately our favourite and i cant wait to be able to afford to join your klan :) I am a true crime fanatic and always have been since my teens so 40+ years, i have always explained my fascination as my yearning to know what makes these criminals step over that moral line when i wouldn't
I love the set up of these videos... I feel like we could all be sat around with a brew . Thanks for this, must’ve been hard going through the research , so thanks Emma x
Emaa, this was so sickening. I literally felt sick to my stomach. I'm so glad that he got what he deserved in prison, I hope it was hell. Thanks for the statement of victims not becoming abusers. It took away my irrational fears
The comment you made on “ that’s not my mummy or daddy “ made me think of a story. Apparently I was throwing a tantrum with my dad as a toddler, a police person stopped and asked if everything was okay and was this my daddy? I think said no and continued to cry 🤦🏼♀️ luckily my gran came up the street and sorted it out. My poor dad 😂
I never stop thinking about a time when I was 12 (about 30 years ago) I was on holiday at Skegness with my family. One night we were all playing at the slot machines but on different machines. I left my mum, dad and brother inside the building and went for a walk out the front. Two men were stood at the back of a white van with the doors open. I could see a rail of clothes inside. They asked me if I wanted a free dress. They said I could climb inside and pick one. I instantly felt uncomfortable and scared. I went back inside to find my mum. I just stayed by her side. I never said anything to anyone and know now I should have but to this day I’m thankful I never climbed inside and pray that no one else did.
Honestly child molesters and child killers should be trialed in a different way, have you ever seen the film Lady Vengeance, there's a horrendously upsetting scene of parents listening to a recording of their children begging for them to save them, they are then taken to a back room where the molester is tied to a chair and are given a choice of weapons to use on him. That should be the justice for anyone whose child has been assaulted or killed by these sickos. They are the lowest form of beings.
I remember back in the 90s trying to explain to my small daughter about going off with strangers and some of the things that they might say and she seemed to understand ok.. but then I asked her what would you do if a man that you didn’t know asked if you could come and help him look for his lost puppy… you could tell by the look on her face that she kind of thought this was a trick question, and she said well I would ask him if he had REALLY lost his puppy! Bless her she was only about 4 but it goes to show you have to be really careful to make sure they understand…
Another thing I remember learning regarding children being taught about “stranger danger” is that often a child’s perception of a stranger can be quite different to what our is. A person the child recognises from being out in public (shopkeeper, local person etc) or have had a “friendly” interaction with can make the child believe they don’t fit the profile of being a stranger and hence they can trust them. We are now also aware that sadly children are frequently at risk from this in their close circle.
@Emma Kenny.. never thought I'd be in a cult but glad to be in yours. Thank you thank you and thanks again for your treatment of this case. Triggering but so important to know. The detail of horror reminds us what we're protecting our children from; yes children forget and the conversation can't happen often enough.. You're an amazing psychologist who is able to talk with passion about protecting our young on so many levels. Deeply moved.
Thank you Emma x I love you’re advice for parents. I’m a mum and a teacher, your advice is so important. I taught, and continue to, tell my girls the same thing. I appreciate the professional and personal approach to everything! Legend 🌸
My reminder is on! X I watched it... I agreed with everything you said Emma, and especially the way you said it! He was one hell of a sick monster! My heart breaks for the victims. No one deserves to die like that, let alone innocent children! Very upsetting thinking about how they died. I just can’t get my head around the fact that he got pleasure from such horrific violence!?
@@stungstung2424 this is a fallacy. None of our physiology is that of a carnivore - but is that of an herbivore. Our teeth, digestive system, etc all perfect for chewing plants and digesting plants. The INSANE amount of money generated per year from the torture, killing and dismemberment of animals for food in the United States alone could feed the entire world for years. There's absolutely no reason or excuse for eating meat in this day and age.
I was vegetarian for the majority of my chidhood and have been vegan for 12 years. I havent ever had any deficiencies, I have actually bloods done a few times throughout the years that have checked so I'm not just saying that based on not having symptoms.
I remember when I first learned about the bystander effect in psychology and I told myself that if I were ever in a situation like that, that I'd report whatever it was even if I felt someone else had because of how shockingly common it is. If you're reading this, always call for help in a serious situation whether you're just an innocent bystander or something like that. Chances are no one else has. You be the person that does. Also, fantastic advice to teach your children specific things to say. If I ever have a child of my own, they'll 100% be learning that. Also, lol I definitely believe his apprehension was divine intervention as well. You can't write a more perfect ending. It's a shame that it took so long for this man to be caught but I can't help but think how many more lives were saved that day. I hate that monsters like him exist but in the end, one way or another, in this life or the next, you play with fire, you're going to get burned.
If you are seeking additional help when assisting someone or even seeking help for yourself apparently it is much more effective to make a plea that is specifically directed and personal - “hey you with the blue T-shirt call the police, lady with the pink flower skirt can you get first aid”. It creates more personal accountability for the bystanders plus the power of social pressure and expectations can be used to increase compliance.
Honey, massive hugs to you for getting through this case, I could hear in your voice a few times that certain bits were especially tough emotionally. I know you’re a professional psychologist but I think we need to listen to the listeners too sometimes. It’s one of THE most horrific cases I can think of. Yes, he did have a really brutal childhood. However, for him to then go on and do this, KNOWING from experience what it does to a child, is just....I don’t even have words. ’heinous’ sounds too weak. It’s beyond evil. I completely understand what you mean about wanting to kill child killers. It’s hard to look into some of these minds and actions and NOT find yourself randomly wondering how scaphism works in practice. But like you say - they’re thoughts, they’re rage urges, and only the truly deranged would actually try it. But those wee girls.....man. What they must have gone through is something I can’t bring myself to think about. I’m so glad those wee souls are safe and sound nobody can ever hurt them again but it makes me so sad that they were taken like this and so young, they were babies 😭
I’m just came across your channel a couple days ago. I really enjoy the way you cover the content with such empathy and grace, along with not being afraid to say how you really feel about the scum committing these crimes. All abductions &murders are horrific, but As a retired (police/fire/medical) dispatcher, I have to say that the part where the officer found his daughter in the van… wow!! It really hit home.
Other true crime creators havd covered this. You, by far, are the best indepth storyteller. You go way beyond just the crime, and dive into their entire back story. Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Thank you for giving education on how to teach children how to react and what to call to get help. I give my 6 year old girl a lot of education but learned a lot here in your video! It breaks my heart for this children and their families!
Hi, Emma! I’m fairly new to your channel. I just wanted you to know that I think you’re amazing! You tell these stories with such passion and empathy. I love the deep dives. You truly have a gift. Thank you for all you do! I will support this channel in any way that I can. Much love to you! ❤️
Fantastic as always Emma ( I’m binge watching catching up) I was pregnant with my 1st child when Caroline Hogg “went missing “ I visited my nana twice a week who lived round the corner from the little girl, the atmosphere was awful I’ve never experienced anything like it and would never want to again! I’m with you…tear them limb from limb slowly..they are not human!
As a person diagnosed with a personality disorder and struggled with my own destubutbing behavior, starting at 4 or 5 and developing and paraphalia throughout my life into a adulthood I have to say you never know what child is struggling with I really wish adults could understand. protect, love and care for you children cause you don't what's to to become of then when there older. And sometimes when you repeatability take away the power away from the child, when they grow older they WILL take it back.
Hello from across the pond! I was "that creepy pagan Goth girl" in high school too, so I bet we would have been good friends if we'd known each other then. Thanks for your insight into the psychology and inner workings of these criminals. When I watch TV shows or read stories of these crimes, I always wonder about the background influences on their psychological development. Thanks for showing us the side of things that isn't always discussed in depth. Hugs from the "ungrateful, rebellious colonists" over here in America (don't worry, just a bit of good-natured humor). 😀
👋 Em! Another fan from across the pond (Florida, USA)! Love the passion you have for your life's work! You are such a gracious giver... thanks from one of your recipients 😊❤!
I remember as a child, seeing the TV reports of Susie Maxwell. On the day that Susie was found in Uttoxeter, we were driving past on the way to Alton Towers. I remember so vividly that the police had stopped the traffic and cordoned off the area. I would of been 7 at the time. I’ve never forgotten Susie, I’m so glad that her Killer was brought to justice. Thankyou for shedding a light in the darkness. Xxx
It’s important to remember that child abduction is incredibly rare. Sexual assault is normally committed by a friend relative or teacher. Incidences such as these are incredibly rare
When you said that it was her dad that saved her. I literally got goosebumps. This man sorry beast should have suffered in jail not get the easy way out. Again another amazing video. I'm sad I've worked my way through your backlog and I'm nearly done. 😭😭😭
Parents also need to be willing to yell out when they realize their child is missing. A friend was in a store, standing in line with her daughter. The woman took just a moment to answer a text on her phone and noticed her daughter missing. She began looking, turning left and right while standing in line. Another woman, standing behind her said, “Oh, her dad just came and picked her up. They went that way.” This would be abductor was so smooth, it looked normal. Immediately, my friend went to the front of the line and demanded they shut every door in the store. The clerk said, “I’m sorry ma’am. We don’t have that ability.” So Mom yelled in her loudest voice, “ Of you can hear me scream ‘mommy’! You’re allowed to scream! Use your outdoor voice.” She paced around the area yelling that. Her daughter was recovered by a security guard at the entrance where the daughter was left. Witnesses did not get a look at the man but said they watched him put her down as she tried to yell ‘mommy’. I still get choked up thinking about how close that was.
You know it is true about kids being too trusting, when i was 6 there was this dog i used to stroke down the street and one day the guy who owned him said his rat had babies and did i want to go in and see them and i went straight in and walked straight upstairs, id never been in there before and he only vaguely knew my mother, thankfully it was nothing sinister and he did have baby rats but for someone with bad intentions it would just be that easy and it sticks in my head because at that time i was a missing person for 2 hours and i was just lucky the man down the street wasnt a pedophile because i put myself in the most vulnerable position without a second thought and it didnt even occur to me that anyone would be worried about me until i left his house and there were police on the street looking for me. This is why kids need to be supervised because if a child doesnt immediately expect danger they dont evaluate or know how vulnerable the position they are putting themselves in is. And i could imagine six year old me going to someone's van to see puppies 🙄
The girl who fought back and her boyfriend are my absolute heroes. It’s difficult for me to say his capture was “divine intervention.” Firstly, because it feels disrespectful to the families whose children were never returned home. Secondly, because I had hoped they had made it to rescue the girl unharmed. It is a marvelous story that the neighbor was so vigilante and acted, that the van passed directly by, and the child’s own father was able to cradle her in his arms and end her nightmare. Most of all, thank gawd they removed this subhuman from roaming free. How can one not breathe a sigh of relief to hear of his death, when he handed out death to the most innocent amongst us.
My mother tells a story that I have no memory of. When I was a tiny toddler, I was sitting in the child’s seat are at the front of the shopping cart, when she stopped and picked up an egg carton and opened it to look inside to check the eggs were all in good shape. In that time, an older man picked me up and put me in his cart and began to walk away. My mother saw immediately and grabbed me back, yelling furiously at him. And apparently he was saying it was joke. I was so cute he thought he would put me in with the groceries and take me home. She never reported it. I’m not sure why.
I’ve seen someone else cover this creature, Emma you go into this so thoroughly and have an amazing way of telling the story and breaking things down, and adding in the phycology and facts it makes it all that much more interesting to watch. I’d love you to do a video on borderline personality order as I don’t think many people get quite how bad it is based on the “ borderline” part of the name. I have personally suffered at the hands of someone with this and it is so misunderstood xx
I always heard it be called "the bystander effect. " They may have changed it idk. Anyway, the guy who killed Kitty Genovese was a stranger to her. He was NOT her boyfriend. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Kitty was actually gay
Yes and like many such hyped stories, if you look into the actual occurrence, it was nothing like we're told. People didn't stand and watch and do nothing. Watch Georgia Marie's video on it its very enlightening.
In fact you’re right I’m studying forensic psychology; the people who were ‘bystanders’ where neighbours and not all of them saw what was happening. The man that attacked kitty wasn’t someone she knew
kitty was gay, and I have heard that in her neighbourhood there were many gay and trans people that were scared of the police and didn't trust the police and that played a part in them not calling. I don't have a source right now though, so don't take this for a fact, but I definitely read about it
Thanks for the clarity on we the people who have been abused, I would never hurt a living thing, I cannot bear cruelty of any kind either to animal or human, as you say the scars are there for life.
Bravo Again Lady Kenny! How you educate others makes your programme so much more than Just true crime. As a victim of pedophilia, misinformation made me fear I was bound to become one. And I think even as adults w experience, predators know to Use vulnerabilities like kittens, injuries and oops locked myself out, to lure. Children don't stand a chance w/o educating them. And if it is truly a wiring issue, Nature and nurture can't help so leads me back to culling. These monsters breed more oft than not. Still thankfully we have beautiful people like yourself and others making differences. Mimi
This case is why I believe in both nurture and nature. Mine and that animal's backgrounds and early experiences are very very similar. I became naughty until I matured but I've never thought of hurting kids or anyone!.sick bastard wired wrong. Thank you Emma for making it clear it's a tiny percent. This was actually a really hard sentence to write and I found myself re-editing a few times.
@Emma Kenny - I love your videos. I saw you on a programme after I started uni as a (very) mature student in 2010. I love the way you disseminate the 'stories' , alternating between what is known, and the psychological perspectives. And the fact that you don't put too much emphasis on the psycological terminology! Keep up the good work!
When I was 11, a man exposed himself to me in the park. I understand why people don’t report things like this. I was embarrassed and felt like I was colluding and involved. I felt ashamed. It made me a partner. That was the worst.
Fuck... That was a really tough watch. I can't imagine how difficult that was to cover. As a parent my heart broke watching. Was really interesting though and I was intrigued as to how he'd be caught. I think any parent who watched this will give there kids an extra tight hug xx
The brain wiring doesn't surprise me. There has to be something wired wrong to be that way. Hopefully they can find a way to use info like that in the future for prevention. Always enjoy your videos!
Hi Emma, I've been watching this for an hour and had to pause sooo many times... Now I'm just full on sobbing. I remember Caroline Hogg. I was 11, my sister was 5. I remember watching the news and just looking from her picture to my sister unable to comprehend how anyone could do that... To anyone, let alone a small child... Thank you, thank you for all you do.
Again Emma very well narrated, with compassion and gripping empassioned outrage....you really are a voice to those who lost theirs... keep going..thank you x
Thanks for this case Emma as an Australian I hadn’t heard of this story before,all I can say is what a despicable human being he was to get so much gratification out of what he did is just is so disgusting, I’m with you on every level with this case as people who do harm to kids and animals are not deserving of any rights, thankfully he got a bit of what he deserved in prison by other inmates!!!
Really intrigued by this tonight and I'm really enjoying your series. Thank you so much for doing this Emma. Sending you and everyone loads of love, positive vibes and big hugs and wishing you all a lovely and peaceful night xx
I taught my kids to yell not my mommy and not my daddy. I do not know this person please help me. I also told them that if they are in any kind of establishment to knock thing off shelves knock down chairs. Just tear the place up and make as much noise as they could to draw attention to themselves.
I remember this very clearly. I live in the Uttoxeter area and recall the little one being found and the names of the other little ones. Mum didn’t let me travel too far from the back door for a while even though my dog was just with me. Horrific
My car broke down when my then ten year old son was in the car. This very nice, kind man offered to take us to a phone box (pre-mobile). When I politely said no thanks he went off his head. Ranting and raving at me about how I had offended him. Did he think that I would get in the car by way of apology and appeasement? I don’t know but I am 100% convinced that had we got in the car that day we would have ended up in a shallow grave
Instinct is an amazing natural tool we should trust more often, as you did that day.
How many people have got in a man’s car and not come out !! Well done everyone should say no ;) ❤️
I'm keen to know how you got your car going.
Thank God you Dident
Oh my gosh. Praise the lord for your instincts. And im not even religious
I was sexually abused as a young child by my father and neglected by my mother. I have cptsd and at 55years old am still suffering from the trauma. So much of what you say in your shows I can relate to. I had a breakdown in my twenties after university and spent 10 years locked in a psychiatric asylum. I am now a single mother of two children. My eldest daughter has started university. Yet I suffer from abandonment issues and cannot sustain relationships because of this. I love your show, especially your irony, because you are a natural at explaining exactly what effect both sexual abuse and fear of abandonment have on peoples life. I was told never to have children as I would most likely be an abuser. Thank you for continually pointing out that this is not the case. I worked hard to give both my children an exact opposite childhood to my own. My childhood sexual abuse has had ramifications throughout my life. And surprisingly enough I’ve never hurt of murdered anyone! You are a fantastic speaker with extraordinary insights into childhood trauma and it’s lasting effects. Well done and thank you for your voice.
Turn to God. He can and does help people if we seek Him with all our hearts. Praying for you. 😊

@@eurekasquared9853 God is a psychopath in the 47 years iv lived on this earth that is something iv definatly learned!
i was a child of the 40s and 50s and then sexual assault was looked at differently. there were cases where the child was accused of encouraging the perpetrator. thank goodness attitudes have changed.
That’s horrific😔 I’m glad that’s not the case now but how terrible for the children brave enough to come forward and report their abuser(s).
Thats awful! How on earth did they have that thought process of a child bk then 😪
@@michellecarter3856 that's still going on today. not much has changed
Are you serious? A child encourage a predator?! Geez, I’m glad I didn’t live then. My mom wasn’t even born then. That sounds like a very scary time to live!
@@WyattRyeSwayIt was horrible back then, I lived as a child through the 60's and encountered so many of my schoolmates being terribly abused and adults protecting the abusive adults, so much ugliness and cruelty among so many humans...I hope so much there is hell after death, many humans deserve it.
I myself was nearly abducted and was sexually assaulted in a park on my way back from school.i was only 7,he asked me to come with him to his car,I know i wouldn’t be here today if I had of went with him,I sensed I was in danger and I ran after he sexually assaulted me,the thing for me was that I was brought up to respect my elders,being in such a dangerous situation and after being assaulted,I still didn’t want to be disrespectful and say no I didn’t want to get in his car,,I was far too polite so I just turned and ran for my life .Fast forward to now,I’m a Mother of 3 and I raised my children to not have that respect for anyone who they sense are going to harm them,they were taught to shout,swear,hit,bite,punch do whatever they could to get away and that they would never ever be told off afterwards for their behaviour,I hate to think that a child could be abducted just because they were too polite to say NO.
DAISY DOO, I just read your comment & FUCK that evil bastard that hurted you , RESPECT to you for always doing the right things in life especially with the way you have brought your children the correct way, honestly Mrs I have nothing but total RESPECT for you!🏴
I done the same as the same happened to me as a 7yr old.told me kids everything. I feel your pain.your a survivor

I believe in karma. And he is getting his hehehe 😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣 I f.ucking hate him
My beautiful mother was sexually abused by her father from very young and for many years, I'm one of 5 and she never once touched us or hit us. She is a fantastic mother 💕
GOD BLESS YOUR MOTHER, I ALSO HAVE A BRILLIANT MOTHER & IF ANYONE WAS TO HURT HER THEN I DONT CARE IF I WOULD GO TO PRISON FOR LIFE , I PROMISE I WOULD KILL THE PERSON 🏴
❤️❤️
The majority of us it just makes us even more determined to protect every single child we can I would literally die for a child I’ve never met to stop them being abused
😥❤️
This was Emma's most gripping video so far. I'd never before heard of Robert Black and I won't forget him in a hurry.
He was a MONSTER!! Thank goodness creatures like him are rare. 😢🤬😢
This has fast become my favourite “True Crime” channel!!
Thanks Suzi x
Same here.
Emma, can you do a pod cast about little Amelia ( her bitch of a mother drowned and set her on fire)

To have it is one thing, to act on it is another.
I have seen you Emma in so many documentaries on crime/psychology etc. So glad you've made a channel!
I have never been a huge fan of those true crime, mini documentaries with short clips from experts. I ❤️ LOVE Emma’s work on this channel. It’s one of my favourites. ❤️
I love when Ema tells personal experiences, geez, sure am glad she listened to her guts and ran from that man @ service station 😢😊
Brilliant! Your description of why serial killers keep killing is a rabbit hole I’ve never considered. Your delivery is spot on as I can tell you are hitting key points, but you are adding so much conversational depth. A truly human touch.
Hey Emma, I don’t mean to be a Debby downer, but just a heads up. The flashing intro is pretty rough for people like me with eye and seizure issues. It definitely took me by surprise. Ps: I’ve truly enjoyed your weekly videos! I’ve been a fan of yours for years, and I’m thrilled you’ve come to CZcams! Thank you for all of your hard work, we love it!!!
I was going to comment she needs a trigger warning on the intro flashes and i dont even suffer with anything like that x hope you’re ok
I have the same issue
I read it in the description for this very video.
Me too, that one caught me off guard!
@@elavke5441 You have to have clicked on the video before you can read the description...
The fact that the Daddy got to rescue his baby girl. 🥺😭 Thank you for the amazing neighbor too!! 🙏🏻
I could kill a man who commits these types of crimes, and I do not like knowing that fact about myself. Thanks Emma, and all the best.
You are not alone Jack Teare... and I too do not like knowing this about myself. Do I believe in vigilantes ... sure do!
May be I'm not a very good person, but I think it's normal to feel that way about pedophiles that do such atrocious crimes.
Me too, I certainly wouldn't trust myself alone with one for more than 4 minutes 😉
I’m obviously not a very nice person because I think death is too easy. I would torture them given the chance. Wow that’s scary isn’t it I always shy away from any argument never mind violence but people like him alter my mindset.
Maybe. You don't "know" though. You might be Clint but you might be Ned.
Kitty Genovese was stabbed by a complete stranger, not a boyfriend. Also, he stabbed her, left the scene, and then returned minutes later and stabbed her again. She wound have most likely lived had anyone pulled her into their apartment before the second attack.
And a few people in her apartment building did call the cops when they heard her screams. Unfortunately, the newspapers reported, falsely, that her neighbors ignored her screams. Btw, she was a lesbian and I assume had no boyfriend.
Oh that's awful that no one wanted to help that poor woman
How can anyone argue against the death penalty for child murderers? Emma thanks for analysing these horrific monsters, hope you will you do something on the James Bulger murder.
Serving death penalty fof them
That’s my guttural response to cases like this. It’s human!!
I recently learnt that a truly SHOCKING number of innocent men have been put to death in the USA. As advances in DNA technology are finally identifying serial killers, they are also clearing the names of the men previously convicted for some of their crimes.
I’m against the death penalty for several reasons. It clearly doesn’t work as a deterrent but could it have the opposite effect on a culture? I don’t know but liberal, more ‘gentle’ countries, that believe in rehabilitation & human rights have far lower violent crime rates…🤔
😔😢😔
Murder is a sin…..even when the executioner does it…..general population in prison for a child predator can’t be a walk in the park..
@@cherylmyke1693 A sin is only something that a god does not like ... and not everyone beleives in your god or any god, so we should not make societal decisions based on one supernatural entity's proposed likes or dislikes. Anyway, placing him the general population is a death sentence. Just like with the execution of a certain intinerant preacher we are just washing our hands of it and out-sourcing the deed.
I’m becoming addicted to your channel. Primitive editing, no fancy expensive displays, just you, telling me that “once upon a time, there was a Monster”. I love the whole 70’s rocker T’s and opinionated honesty refreshing from some with your ability and background.
I was 8 in Edinburgh when Caroline Hogg went missing - the sheer terror of that time still stays with me. We all knew about Susan Maxwell's disappearance from Coldstream - it's not that far from relatives we spent our summers with in Chirnside, Berwick. This is by far the most in depth documentary of Robert Black I have ever seen and I found it unpausable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the practical tips to get the attention of bystanders - really interesting human behaviours. Robert Black was "The Bad Man in a White Van" of my Scottish childhood and the relief when he finally had a public face upon arrest was palpable. I remember the shock to me as a kid that he did not look like the obvious monster I had imagined. Great video
What blows my mind is that someone could think their sexual gratification is more important than the entire LIFE of another person...a child! Shocking and horrific 😢
I’m no psychologist, but I assume these predators don’t view their victims as being anything but objects.
The most respectable and underrated true crime channel on CZcams. The amount of forensic psychology I’ve learnt from you from you’re weekly videos compared to hours I’ve watched of “entertainment” style true crime videos which have absolutely no integrity like your videos do. The respect for the victims is all that matters and spreading good moral behaviour and that’s what I learn from you and you’re my new real world role model and I’m so thankful to have found your channel 🏆 ❤️
Emma, your videos are so gripping. I “got in to” true crime because I wanted to learn about the psychology side of it all, what drives these people, nurture vs nature etc. I love how much you weigh in about the psychology, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos!
I always thought that being a psychopath must be such a lonely existence, never being able to truly bond with anyone, a mix between an addict and a vampire... always having to look for 'new blood' and never being satisfied, forever wandering in darkness. But maybe that's just because I have a conscience.. serial killers probably enjoy the thrill and think nothing wrong of their abhorrent behaviour.
Not all psychopaths are serial killers. Not all serial killers are psychopaths. The majority of those who exhibit multiple psychopathic traits aren't even criminals, in the legal sense.
@@julietarossetti7426 correct, and I never asserted of the statements you make.
@@Will21st I was being overly pedantic - apologies. I think it's just the way I read & interpreted your comment. I see so many people spreading misinformation in comments' sections but I see that's not what you were doing. Occasionally I can be a bit trigger happy with responses!
I'm still working my way through your backlog, Emma you cover things in such an in depth, psychological and balanced (even when you're furious of their actions like the rest of us). Definitely one of the best channels for covering killers and other criminals especially for difficult topics like this xx
I can’t imagine those cops pulling him out of that van being able to restrain themselves from kicking that man to death.
Totally agree
Good grief yeah, especially the dad. I can’t imagine what that poor guy went through.
Imagine it’s your own kid the cop must have been numb .
Your advocacy for children is heroic. You are truly amazing.
And your channel is bloody brilliant. Not only is your telling of the crimes horrific, but I love your analysis and especially your respect for these beautiful children and how you give them a voice is admirable.
Thank you for standing up for rape victims. I always thought rape was awful etc, but I’d never realised the horrendous effect it has on survivors until my daughter was assaulted 😞 It’s just life changing. So many ramifications all the way down the line.
Im a rape survivor, I suffer from PTSD and am very messed up from it and before I was even raped I was so terrified of it happening that I'd have panic attacks.
But it makes me wonder how it is that so many people are unable to recognize how awful and life changing it is to have someone forcefully use and take possession of your body for their own pleasure. Im not saying that you lack empathy or there's something wrong with you- the way you thought seems to be fairly common.
Also im sorry about your daughter. I hope she finds peace and is able to get better
yeah my daughter was 7 and her dad had her at weekends and he certin stuff but she did not want to go court police said if she not want to cant make her as traumitised enough. but she 14 now and still not want to see him. but thankfully not effect her she quiet enough though and use to be more lively do you find same?
@@clairebyrne1725 I can almost guarantee that it's still affecting her. I haven't seen a single survivor who said that their assault hasn't affected them, or no longer affects them. I would highly suggest getting her into therapy if she isn't already. Being 14 is hard enough without the trauma your daughter has, and the sooner she gets professional help, the better it will be for her. I hope she continues to recover a move past it, but she will likely be affected by it forever, in some capacity.
@@clairebyrne1725 Your comment caught my eye. Claire my daughter was 12 when it came to light her own father was violently molesting her. 2 years later she has had zero contact w the pedo, and yet despite trauma therapy and rx, she is unfortunately still very much suicidal. I implore you to check on your child's mental health-isolation is a warning sign.
@@bayleighc.5843 completely agree and back your statement. 14 is a terrible age for most girls as it is, but as a surviver myself I will attest that she is still goin to be effected. I wouldnt blame her for never ever wanting to see her perpetrator again.
Anyone who thinks victims are able to co exist, visit or have thier rapist and molester involved in their lives without it messing them up further are not only un empathetic but they are also deluded. To have it forced on you is cruel.
I just discovered your channel and love the way you tell these stories. Oh I agree. I think child killers or molesters should be dealt with by a mandatory higher more severe penalty. No parole ever! Castrated + desexed. It's a whole different , disturbing + dark level of crime. when a child is the victim. They re the innocent members of society. It's absolutely heinous.
I was wary coming into this video, I have to say I cried a lot. But the way you treat the material is so respectful of the victims and their families I knew you would treat with a delicate kindness that would soften the blow of the material. Thank you Emma 💕
These poor girls' names and faces are etched on my brain as this happened when I was in Primary School and they formed part of a talk from the local police about saying no to strangers.
I didn't know the full details about what Black did until now. Had to steel myself to watch this one. Great as always, Emma.
One of the main reasons I would NEVER upload photos of my kids, especially when they are young. If my kids wanna take selfies and upload them then that's their choice and I would remind them of who could be viewing them, but I certainly would never personally upload photos of them to be perved over potentially or even worse!!!. Don't give child molesters a free pass on your kids!!
Dont let your kids do it either. Duh.
Bystander effect story - so I was on a night out when I was about 19. It was about 2 and the pubs were closing, lots of drunk people on the street when I hear screaming. I look over and there's a massive bloke literally kicking kicking his girlfriend's head in and nobody was doing anything. There were big men just stood doing nothing. So me, a small 19 Yr old girl runs over and stands between the two and tell the man that he has to stop. Obviously he didn't and he smashed my head into a chicken shop window. But at this point, other people came over and helped.
Sometimes it just takes one person to go and do something to snap everyone into coming to help.
At the hospital m mum, once giving my hugs and making sure I was ok, berated me for going over and getting involved. She told me that I should ring the police and not give up on the phone until they understand the situation. She said "please don't be a hero, you don't know what situation you are getting yourself into".
Your mum is right, but you clearly have an extremely strong spirit and snapped everyone into action, please don’t ever do that again though 😄❤️
Oh and the bit about not giving up on the phone is so true - I was trying to report a man who had stabbed a woman in the neck with a pen, it was very difficult to get the person to listen, just stay calm and ask another person to explain if they for any reason don’t understand you (I was extremely panicked that day and likely not making sense, so I passed the phone to someone else)
This literally happened at Walmart today almost same thing at least...I was checking out and saw a man and woman arguing next to me. He kept getting louder n more aggressive so I mouthed "are u ok" at her and she shook her head no. I started slowly moving to try to situate my cart to push between them if needed and get her on the side w me away from him. There was tons of people around and many were watching because he was being loud. But no one else stepped in until they saw me trying to help, then a few other people started telling him he needed to back up and chill. But instead he whacked her in the back of the head so hard she fell against my cart. But I grabbed her and put her on the other side of me further from him and tried to push the cart at him cuz I could tell he was coming after us still, but I missed. He had his arm raised to hit me or her or either idk who he was aiming for, but thankfully a guy stepped in and tackled him. Cops came right after. It was super scary I've never seen someone act that way in public before smh. I didn't even think he would hit her let alone me, I thought he had just like momentarily lost his temper n when a stranger interjected he'd realize where he was n calm down maybe, which idk why I just didn't think he was gonna take it that far. But he did!
Fantastic advice 👏 picking someone out to help you! Snaps them out of bystander mentality, more people need to hear this!
I love that huge tip too !!!!
Amazing amazing job on this video! Also, it’s really nice having one crime channel without all the interruptions of ads and promos! You’re the best!
What a chilling case. I remember this and it had a big impact on me at the time. A lot of the failures to recognise the terrible path Black was on from childhood were from a naivity of the judicial and mental health professionals of the time, but I do wonder just how many Robert Blacks there are out there now, in spite of our apparently more advanced understanding of serial sexual predators in the 21st century. And thank you Emma for your warning and advice to give to our children to protect them from these monsters that stalk our children.
This week I feel like I am treating myself after a really trying time. I missed last weeks episode so I have that and this to watch. On my laptop, in pyjamas, with hot chocolate. I really need all of the above to stay sane 😅 thank you for giving me something to look forward to on Sunday evenings Emma. 💗💗
Thank you so much for your tips on how to be safe, and especially what to teach your children to say if a stranger attempts to take them. Very important knowledge for a very rare but very dangerous situation.
I love the tips you have given for what to shout if being attacked and what to teach your children to say, i have had my daughter AND my husband riveted by repeating things and views you have stated to the point where they have both subscribed too. I love the work you put into your research and i have watched a lot of true crime youtubers, you are definately our favourite and i cant wait to be able to afford to join your klan :) I am a true crime fanatic and always have been since my teens so 40+ years, i have always explained my fascination as my yearning to know what makes these criminals step over that moral line when i wouldn't
I love the set up of these videos... I feel like we could all be sat around with a brew . Thanks for this, must’ve been hard going through the research , so thanks Emma x
Emaa, this was so sickening. I literally felt sick to my stomach.
I'm so glad that he got what he deserved in prison, I hope it was hell.
Thanks for the statement of victims not becoming abusers. It took away my irrational fears
A guy exposed himself to me and friends when I was still in High School. I laughed at him and that little worm fell flat. He got out of there so fast.
The comment you made on “ that’s not my mummy or daddy “ made me think of a story. Apparently I was throwing a tantrum with my dad as a toddler, a police person stopped and asked if everything was okay and was this my daddy? I think said no and continued to cry 🤦🏼♀️ luckily my gran came up the street and sorted it out. My poor dad 😂
I never stop thinking about a time when I was 12 (about 30 years ago) I was on holiday at Skegness with my family. One night we were all playing at the slot machines but on different machines. I left my mum, dad and brother inside the building and went for a walk out the front. Two men were stood at the back of a white van with the doors open. I could see a rail of clothes inside. They asked me if I wanted a free dress. They said I could climb inside and pick one. I instantly felt uncomfortable and scared. I went back inside to find my mum. I just stayed by her side. I never said anything to anyone and know now I should have but to this day I’m thankful I never climbed inside and pray that no one else did.
That gave me goose bumps when you described how the teenage girl got away, thank god for those teenagers...
Honestly child molesters and child killers should be trialed in a different way, have you ever seen the film Lady Vengeance, there's a horrendously upsetting scene of parents listening to a recording of their children begging for them to save them, they are then taken to a back room where the molester is tied to a chair and are given a choice of weapons to use on him. That should be the justice for anyone whose child has been assaulted or killed by these sickos. They are the lowest form of beings.
I remember back in the 90s trying to explain to my small daughter about going off with strangers and some of the things that they might say and she seemed to understand ok.. but then I asked her what would you do if a man that you didn’t know asked if you could come and help him look for his lost puppy… you could tell by the look on her face that she kind of thought this was a trick question, and she said well I would ask him if he had REALLY lost his puppy! Bless her she was only about 4 but it goes to show you have to be really careful to make sure they understand…
Another thing I remember learning regarding children being taught about “stranger danger” is that often a child’s perception of a stranger can be quite different to what our is. A person the child recognises from being out in public (shopkeeper, local person etc) or have had a “friendly” interaction with can make the child believe they don’t fit the profile of being a stranger and hence they can trust them. We are now also aware that sadly children are frequently at risk from this in their close circle.
What you said @39:30 is something I really relate to, because as a child I wasn't even believed when I told my mom.
Reminder on 🔔🥰🥰. It's a lovely little routine you've got me into thanks Em. They're the thing I look forward to all week 🥰🥰xx
@Emma Kenny.. never thought I'd be in a cult but glad to be in yours. Thank you thank you and thanks again for your treatment of this case. Triggering but so important to know. The detail of horror reminds us what we're protecting our children from; yes children forget and the conversation can't happen often enough.. You're an amazing psychologist who is able to talk with passion about protecting our young on so many levels. Deeply moved.
Thank you Emma x I love you’re advice for parents. I’m a mum and a teacher, your advice is so important. I taught, and continue to, tell my girls the same thing. I appreciate the professional and personal approach to everything! Legend 🌸
My reminder is on! X I watched it... I agreed with everything you said Emma, and especially the way you said it! He was one hell of a sick monster! My heart breaks for the victims. No one deserves to die like that, let alone innocent children! Very upsetting thinking about how they died. I just can’t get my head around the fact that he got pleasure from such horrific violence!?
As always great episode. Emma fancy telling us about Orkney child abuse from 1991? Thanks x
I’d be interested in hearing emma views as well as Cleveland 😃
I haven't eaten meat for 20yrs. Ever since I brought home my baby calf who lived until 20.
Do you take vitamins? Meat is essential part of diet
@@stungstung2424 Plants contain plenty of vitamins, calcium and protein etc. Meat is an essential part of a carnivores diet, not mine.
@@stungstung2424 this is a fallacy. None of our physiology is that of a carnivore - but is that of an herbivore. Our teeth, digestive system, etc all perfect for chewing plants and digesting plants.
The INSANE amount of money generated per year from the torture, killing and dismemberment of animals for food in the United States alone could feed the entire world for years. There's absolutely no reason or excuse for eating meat in this day and age.
Omg that’s amazing I never knew cows could live so long!
I was vegetarian for the majority of my chidhood and have been vegan for 12 years. I havent ever had any deficiencies, I have actually bloods done a few times throughout the years that have checked so I'm not just saying that based on not having symptoms.
I remember when I first learned about the bystander effect in psychology and I told myself that if I were ever in a situation like that, that I'd report whatever it was even if I felt someone else had because of how shockingly common it is. If you're reading this, always call for help in a serious situation whether you're just an innocent bystander or something like that. Chances are no one else has. You be the person that does.
Also, fantastic advice to teach your children specific things to say. If I ever have a child of my own, they'll 100% be learning that.
Also, lol I definitely believe his apprehension was divine intervention as well. You can't write a more perfect ending. It's a shame that it took so long for this man to be caught but I can't help but think how many more lives were saved that day. I hate that monsters like him exist but in the end, one way or another, in this life or the next, you play with fire, you're going to get burned.
If you are seeking additional help when assisting someone or even seeking help for yourself apparently it is much more effective to make a plea that is specifically directed and personal - “hey you with the blue T-shirt call the police, lady with the pink flower skirt can you get first aid”. It creates more personal accountability for the bystanders plus the power of social pressure and expectations can be used to increase compliance.
Honey, massive hugs to you for getting through this case, I could hear in your voice a few times that certain bits were especially tough emotionally. I know you’re a professional psychologist but I think we need to listen to the listeners too sometimes. It’s one of THE most horrific cases I can think of. Yes, he did have a really brutal childhood. However, for him to then go on and do this, KNOWING from experience what it does to a child, is just....I don’t even have words. ’heinous’ sounds too weak. It’s beyond evil. I completely understand what you mean about wanting to kill child killers. It’s hard to look into some of these minds and actions and NOT find yourself randomly wondering how scaphism works in practice. But like you say - they’re thoughts, they’re rage urges, and only the truly deranged would actually try it. But those wee girls.....man. What they must have gone through is something I can’t bring myself to think about. I’m so glad those wee souls are safe and sound nobody can ever hurt them again but it makes me so sad that they were taken like this and so young, they were babies 😭
I love how honest and passionate you are. Another great video.
I’m just came across your channel a couple days ago. I really enjoy the way you cover the content with such empathy and grace, along with not being afraid to say how you really feel about the scum committing these crimes.
All abductions &murders are horrific, but As a retired (police/fire/medical) dispatcher, I have to say that the part where the officer found his daughter in the van… wow!! It really hit home.
Other true crime creators havd covered this. You, by far, are the best indepth storyteller. You go way beyond just the crime, and dive into their entire back story. Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Thank you for giving education on how to teach children how to react and what to call to get help. I give my 6 year old girl a lot of education but learned a lot here in your video! It breaks my heart for this children and their families!
Hi, Emma! I’m fairly new to your channel. I just wanted you to know that I think you’re amazing! You tell these stories with such passion and empathy. I love the deep dives. You truly have a gift. Thank you for all you do! I will support this channel in any way that I can. Much love to you! ❤️
Much love back xx
Fantastic as always Emma ( I’m binge watching catching up) I was pregnant with my 1st child when Caroline Hogg “went missing “ I visited my nana twice a week who lived round the corner from the little girl, the atmosphere was awful I’ve never experienced anything like it and would never want to again! I’m with you…tear them limb from limb slowly..they are not human!
As a person diagnosed with a personality disorder and struggled with my own destubutbing behavior, starting at 4 or 5 and developing and paraphalia throughout my life into a adulthood I have to say you never know what child is struggling with I really wish adults could understand. protect, love and care for you children cause you don't what's to to become of then when there older. And sometimes when you repeatability take away the power away from the child, when they grow older they WILL take it back.
Hello from across the pond! I was "that creepy pagan Goth girl" in high school too, so I bet we would have been good friends if we'd known each other then. Thanks for your insight into the psychology and inner workings of these criminals. When I watch TV shows or read stories of these crimes, I always wonder about the background influences on their psychological development. Thanks for showing us the side of things that isn't always discussed in depth. Hugs from the "ungrateful, rebellious colonists" over here in America (don't worry, just a bit of good-natured humor). 😀
👋 Em! Another fan from across the pond (Florida, USA)! Love the passion you have for your life's work! You are such a gracious giver... thanks from one of your recipients 😊❤!
I remember as a child, seeing the TV reports of Susie Maxwell. On the day that Susie was found in Uttoxeter, we were driving past on the way to Alton Towers. I remember so vividly that the police had stopped the traffic and cordoned off the area. I would of been 7 at the time. I’ve never forgotten Susie, I’m so glad that her Killer was brought to justice. Thankyou for shedding a light in the darkness. Xxx
It’s important to remember that child abduction is incredibly rare. Sexual assault is normally committed by a friend relative or teacher. Incidences such as these are incredibly rare
This channel satisfies my desire for hour long talks about monsters in a pleasant voice.
Your deep dives are THAT good, this could be your Olympic sport…..I’m totally hooked, crime and consistency is exactly what I’m getting here. ❤
When you said that it was her dad that saved her. I literally got goosebumps. This man sorry beast should have suffered in jail not get the easy way out. Again another amazing video. I'm sad I've worked my way through your backlog and I'm nearly done. 😭😭😭
I live in edinburgh he took caroline hogg from portobello beach and what that wee girl must have sufferd its shocking x
Parents also need to be willing to yell out when they realize their child is missing.
A friend was in a store, standing in line with her daughter. The woman took just a moment to answer a text on her phone and noticed her daughter missing. She began looking, turning left and right while standing in line.
Another woman, standing behind her said, “Oh, her dad just came and picked her up. They went that way.” This would be abductor was so smooth, it looked normal.
Immediately, my friend went to the front of the line and demanded they shut every door in the store.
The clerk said, “I’m sorry ma’am. We don’t have that ability.” So Mom yelled in her loudest voice, “ Of you can hear me scream ‘mommy’! You’re allowed to scream! Use your outdoor voice.”
She paced around the area yelling that.
Her daughter was recovered by a security guard at the entrance where the daughter was left.
Witnesses did not get a look at the man but said they watched him put her down as she tried to yell ‘mommy’.
I still get choked up thinking about how close that was.
You know it is true about kids being too trusting, when i was 6 there was this dog i used to stroke down the street and one day the guy who owned him said his rat had babies and did i want to go in and see them and i went straight in and walked straight upstairs, id never been in there before and he only vaguely knew my mother, thankfully it was nothing sinister and he did have baby rats but for someone with bad intentions it would just be that easy and it sticks in my head because at that time i was a missing person for 2 hours and i was just lucky the man down the street wasnt a pedophile because i put myself in the most vulnerable position without a second thought and it didnt even occur to me that anyone would be worried about me until i left his house and there were police on the street looking for me. This is why kids need to be supervised because if a child doesnt immediately expect danger they dont evaluate or know how vulnerable the position they are putting themselves in is. And i could imagine six year old me going to someone's van to see puppies 🙄
New favourite True Crime channel! It would be great you see you cover some other shocking UK cases like Tia Sharp, Gemma Hayter ... Take care 💕
The girl who fought back and her boyfriend are my absolute heroes. It’s difficult for me to say his capture was “divine intervention.” Firstly, because it feels disrespectful to the families whose children were never returned home. Secondly, because I had hoped they had made it to rescue the girl unharmed. It is a marvelous story that the neighbor was so vigilante and acted, that the van passed directly by, and the child’s own father was able to cradle her in his arms and end her nightmare. Most of all, thank gawd they removed this subhuman from roaming free. How can one not breathe a sigh of relief to hear of his death, when he handed out death to the most innocent amongst us.
My great grandparents went to Australia on the £10 fee.
Their son , my grandad, stayed here in the UK as he was in the RAF.
love these videos Emma. Xx
My mother tells a story that I have no memory of. When I was a tiny toddler, I was sitting in the child’s seat are at the front of the shopping cart, when she stopped and picked up an egg carton and opened it to look inside to check the eggs were all in good shape. In that time, an older man picked me up and put me in his cart and began to walk away. My mother saw immediately and grabbed me back, yelling furiously at him. And apparently he was saying it was joke. I was so cute he thought he would put me in with the groceries and take me home. She never reported it. I’m not sure why.
Most definitely puts the ‘Evil’ in devil.
How can anyone argue against the death penalty for child killers?

I’ve seen someone else cover this creature, Emma you go into this so thoroughly and have an amazing way of telling the story and breaking things down, and adding in the phycology and facts it makes it all that much more interesting to watch.
I’d love you to do a video on borderline personality order as I don’t think many people get quite how bad it is based on the “ borderline” part of the name. I have personally suffered at the hands of someone with this and it is so misunderstood xx
I always heard it be called "the bystander effect. " They may have changed it idk. Anyway, the guy who killed Kitty Genovese was a stranger to her. He was NOT her boyfriend. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Kitty was actually gay
Yes and like many such hyped stories, if you look into the actual occurrence, it was nothing like we're told. People didn't stand and watch and do nothing. Watch Georgia Marie's video on it its very enlightening.
In fact you’re right I’m studying forensic psychology; the people who were ‘bystanders’ where neighbours and not all of them saw what was happening. The man that attacked kitty wasn’t someone she knew
@@Leahbb4571 Also many people called and some tried to help; she was hard to locate and police didn't respond
kitty was gay, and I have heard that in her neighbourhood there were many gay and trans people that were scared of the police and didn't trust the police and that played a part in them not calling. I don't have a source right now though, so don't take this for a fact, but I definitely read about it
Always a pleasure to tune in. (Of course) x
Just booked our tickets for your serial killer talk at Whitehaven in September!
We’re so excited! Love watching your videos!
Thank you!
Thanks for the clarity on we the people who have been abused, I would never hurt a living thing, I cannot bear cruelty of any kind either to animal or human, as you say the scars are there for life.
Love the deep dive into these cases and the killer’s background 💕
Bravo Again Lady Kenny! How you educate others makes your programme so much more than Just true crime. As a victim of pedophilia, misinformation made me fear I was bound to become one. And I think even as adults w experience, predators know to Use vulnerabilities like kittens, injuries and oops locked myself out, to lure. Children don't stand a chance w/o educating them. And if it is truly a wiring issue, Nature and nurture can't help so leads me back to culling. These monsters breed more oft than not. Still thankfully we have beautiful people like yourself and others making differences.
Mimi
Thankyou for being so kind and considerate towards victims of abuse in your videos ❤️
Emma! As an epileptic! Your intro got me tripping!! 🤣🤣
This case is why I believe in both nurture and nature. Mine and that animal's backgrounds and early experiences are very very similar. I became naughty until I matured but I've never thought of hurting kids or anyone!.sick bastard wired wrong. Thank you Emma for making it clear it's a tiny percent. This was actually a really hard sentence to write and I found myself re-editing a few times.
@Emma Kenny - I love your videos. I saw you on a programme after I started uni as a (very) mature student in 2010. I love the way you disseminate the 'stories' , alternating between what is known, and the psychological perspectives. And the fact that you don't put too much emphasis on the psycological terminology! Keep up the good work!
When I was 11, a man exposed himself to me in the park. I understand why people don’t report things like this. I was embarrassed and felt like I was colluding and involved. I felt ashamed. It made me a partner. That was the worst.
Hi Emma looking forward to this premiere tonight.would love you to analyze the MC canns.Too many question marks on that case.loyal fan👍😌
So much fact and background. This is what I want not all those pics the other channels do.
This was a sad case and around the time all the stranger danger adverts were on TV as a kid i was terrified .
Fuck... That was a really tough watch. I can't imagine how difficult that was to cover. As a parent my heart broke watching. Was really interesting though and I was intrigued as to how he'd be caught. I think any parent who watched this will give there kids an extra tight hug xx
The brain wiring doesn't surprise me. There has to be something wired wrong to be that way. Hopefully they can find a way to use info like that in the future for prevention. Always enjoy your videos!
Hi Emma, I've been watching this for an hour and had to pause sooo many times... Now I'm just full on sobbing. I remember Caroline Hogg. I was 11, my sister was 5. I remember watching the news and just looking from her picture to my sister unable to comprehend how anyone could do that... To anyone, let alone a small child... Thank you, thank you for all you do.
Just came across your channel Emma and can honestly say loving it keep up the excellent work x
Again Emma very well narrated, with compassion and gripping empassioned outrage....you really are a voice to those who lost theirs... keep going..thank you x
Thanks for this case Emma as an Australian I hadn’t heard of this story before,all I can say is what a despicable human being he was to get so much gratification out of what he did is just is so disgusting, I’m with you on every level with this case as people who do harm to kids and animals are not deserving of any rights, thankfully he got a bit of what he deserved in prison by other inmates!!!
Really intrigued by this tonight and I'm really enjoying your series. Thank you so much for doing this Emma. Sending you and everyone loads of love, positive vibes and big hugs and wishing you all a lovely and peaceful night xx
Emma your amazing story teller thanks hon for your update keep it up 😘😘
I taught my kids to yell not my mommy and not my daddy. I do not know this person please help me. I also told them that if they are in any kind of establishment to knock thing off shelves knock down chairs. Just tear the place up and make as much noise as they could to draw attention to themselves.
Loving your channel Emma I’m watching/listening whilst I’m baking (it’s my job)
I remember this very clearly. I live in the Uttoxeter area and recall the little one being found and the names of the other little ones. Mum didn’t let me travel too far from the back door for a while even though my dog was just with me. Horrific
