Shanda fought for custody of “little man” yesterday and parental rights were TERMINATED! There is justice! ❤
👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank goodness. Well she will be in prison for life.
just how do you regain custody from prison?
@@Imthemomthatswhy Not physical custody, I would assume she wanted legal rights to say who he is with, and how many visits she gets with him.
@@purplebean8989 will the grandparents who now have custody have orders to not have contact with her? Or like the son can't have any contact?
The judge is awesome!!! He told her in her face how horrible of a human being she is.He called out her BS.
👍
She is not human !
We needed this judge for the Tim Ferriter's trial too. This is a fair judge who did his job properly.
Thank you!!!! Yes!!!!
Absolutely 💯!
What are the legal challenges in dealing with cross-border environmental crimes?
This story is unspeakably devastating and ugly. No child should ever have to experience what that poor baby went through. Bless you, Timothy. Rest in peace. ❤
That she thought as a convicted murderer she could get custody of G( little man) is beyond me. And that she thinks she didn’t do anything wrong to Timothy . I can’t stand her and her pigtails and she better not get a retrial .
Dorothy you're not in Kansas anymore!
It’s not good when siblings are made to be a caregiver instead of the parents ! Well spoken sister of victim !
The judge statement before reading the verdict is spot on.
The snow out the window 10:42 nice touch while the judge read the verdict
Gave me hope for the future We got to have a way to track and check these CPS cases to many babies dying in America
PS I'm not shifting blame here Timmy couldn't say it so I am
i am proud to have this judge in my town, wtg!
These poor children. There was abuse from the very beginning with CPS involved as his sister’s earliest memory 💔
All of them were abused! She knew she could use this one child! He never showed disobedience She knew she could use his as a scape goat! She forgot about technology! Without it She would be free and a Son in prison for life!
Hearing the two siblings speak just broke my heart, especially when the older brother spoke brought tears to my eyes.
I Cried!
This story deserved way more attention than it got.
And she has the nerve to fight the $5000.00 cost for the county to bury her son.she personifies evil.
This is one of the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard 💔 strength and prayers to her surviving children
Thank you judge. That was pure torture. Rest in Peace beautiful Timothy
These children made me cry. I wish i could give them a hug. so much pain. these poor children deserved so much better.
The pure new snow falling while she learns she will never see freedom again. That poor child got his justice.
It was like a scene from an awful movie
My heart is aching every time i hear this case. 😢
it struck me while listening the the judge pronounce the sentence how beautiful the snow falling out the window was and this beauty is never to be seen by this poor boy. As a mother my heart aches.
It was like a movie scene.
That was Timothy...he is pure.
Even her own defendant is repulsed by her, she asks for a pen , he disrespectfully throws it on the table, and her face scowls.
Its so aweful that sometimes we have a tendency to not realise how much we love someone, and then show them that, until they're gone. My heart goes out to Timothy's siblings.
She irritates me. Shes the face of EVIL....she deserves her freedom taken away for life she has the rest of her life to think about her poor Timothy she unalived..🤬😡
The sad thing is that she is incapable of thinking she did anything wrong!! This person is the true embodiment of a narcissist!!👿👿👿👿
You don't have to use codewords in the comment section.
@@We_Are_All_VulturesYea some words will definitely get your comments put in the spam section, so it's not about being cute using ''code words'' it's simply just avoiding certain words CZcams has deemed "bad."
And the fact we have people in 😢our court system like her shows how broken it truly is
Could you have ever imagined! Don't think there are Judges just like her that got thru the cracks! Scary!
Vinnie I love watching your clips on courttv, you’re such a good host! Thank you for your passionate input on all things court related!
The court's statement before the sentencing was spot. When he then proceeded to display Tim's picture on the bench was so so powerful.
Monster mother...no remorse never...
Prosecutor needs to go after the dad. Because it was court order for him to have custody of Anthony. The father went against that
The whole family needs to be looked into both sides as nothing was done to protect Tim
TIMOTHY!!!
I hope so too for negligence and court contempt. I read somewhere that Shanda lost custody over her children. He should’ve sent Timothy to the State or to one of his older children.
WHO IS ANTHONY?? Do you mean Timothy? Did you watch the trial ?
Paul should be treated like a child soldier even if he’s more than 18 years of age. I saw his interrogation video and he compared his experience with his father and mother. He attested that he was treated better by his mother, which says a lot: his father also abused him.
Paul needs rehabilitation, not prison-time.
Timothy, rest in peace. I wish you knew you were loved even if you felt that way for months 🥀
They need to go after the father next because from what I read, she was never supposed to have Timothy full-time. It was supposed to be under parental supervision, and he just gave him to her…since he’s an abuser as well go after him too.
Totally agree! He should be arrested for child neglect, child abuse and court contempt. Shanda lost her custody of all her children and instead of sending Timothy to the State or relatives, he sent him back to her.
I agree about Paul. He should get a short sentence. You can tell he still has a soul, unlike his mother. I am sure the court will show him mercy.
Yes, everyone should watch Paul's interrogation. It's clear that Paul is autistic, as well as it is clear that he was manipulated by his mother and is easily led by others, as the detective interrogating him was also easily able to lead him. Paul's entire reality was framed by Shandra Vanderark and all he wanted to do was please his mother/be a good son. Paul is a victim too.
@@vevrvivnv where do we find this?
She was able to hide behind her lawyer from the cameras - then in the end she couldn't even apologize - She did not shed one tear for Timothy. The rage she must have brought upon Tim must have been so horrible. It is unimaginable to think of the pain Timothy endured for weeks of her torture - Tim I know your now in a beautiful place in heaven where you can be free, happy, and loved.
I would like to know more about the father. Is there not an investigation into him? He gave Timothy to the monster.
I was thinking the same where is he? Was he even in Court what about a victim statement Non! He didn't give a damn any more than her! Where is the justice? His hands aren't clean at all! To think he might be your neighbor! Scary!
The snow ❄️ out the window is beautiful
Really
This is a wonderful defense lawyer. Great judge as well!
Great defense unfortunately he had nothing to work with…
I didn’t think the defense attorney was that great but it’s true he had nothing to work with. Judge is awesome.
I felt bad for that public defender.
The impact statements in this case were so sad. 😞
And the defense attorney 🤦🏻♀️just stop.
She's evil
Having the snow falling in the background made it even more of a visceral impact. My heart goes out to all of the remaining children.
So surreal
She will never see beauty again in her life
Pretty interesting that her lawyer sits in a perfect position to hide her face.... trust me, i already know he didn't wanna represent her but that's his job.
This is heartbreaking. I feel bad when I yell at my babies. I could not fathom torturing them. Heartbreaking. Timothy mattered.
Thanks for your continued coverage Vinnie. Kindest regards from London, UK.
What a savage human being. Her own defenseless son.
Rest Timothy.
Now you can rest, little one... 🥀
Monsters are real...😢..this was the worst case of child abuse , so glad that she got caught and is facing consequences, also the best part is that she no longer has parental rights to Gabriel...a sad sad story with a fair ending..Rest in Peace, Timothy..❤❤❤
Heartbreaking - I live in Michigan and I feel so badly about this. I'm not too fond of goodbyes too. Poor little guy. Why are people so evil - I am so sorry this happened to him. I wish I could have helped him despite not knowing them. I am a paralegal and I have a specialty in family law. I keep thinking.,... the Best Interest of the Child... where did those guidelines go in this case?
She also worked for justice ⚖️ which shows that you can't trust anyone. As long as have Satan as the government of this world worse things will be seen. The only way is when Jesus Christ takes control. Chapter 12 Revelation explains why there is so much evil in the world.
I still cannot believe that Vinny landed on a jury. That is insane. What lawyer would want him on the jury
Who?
Not Vinny's fault, but if there was a defense or a plaintiff's attorney, they very rarely want to have a lawyer as a jury member. I'm sure it happens just never from someone that does a show about legal topics.
Vinny was a juror for a civil, not a criminal trial.
How can false accusations and their consequences be better addressed in the legal system?
@@praytogodus when you figure it out, let us know because our American Justice system is broken.
Beautiful child. Really horrible Mother. I don’t even treat my dog this way. Disgusting.
Worst courtroom I’ve ever seen. Between the angle and the column it’s been hard to get a view of the monster hearing her fate.
So that's where you've been!!! Jury duty. I was missing you! Glad you're back and bringing all the details and insights.
I think this is an example of narcissistic scapegoating one child. Which i don't understand, why anyone behave this way.
She's a female psychopath.
I agree. In terms of a possible explanation few people would be capable of ab-sing and torturing a child as she did to Timothy, and her behaviour strongly suggests Sadistic Personality Disorder (SPD). Individuals with SPD hold extreme disdain for others with special needs who they'll target for particularly horrific and sadistic treatment as she did with Timothy; that by no means justifies anything she did albeit helps explain it.
Thank you for doing the missing persons Vinnie!
Love this program! I don’t like giving my opinion on cases but i love to watch them!❤
this happened in my town! makes me sick!
Watching from Zimbabwe. Just a thought - surely "Family Protection Service" or Child Protection Service, or whatever it is named in USA, should also be charged with at least dereliction of duty/negligence, fail of basic duty?
Even at the end she got to get her lawyer to cover her face as being sentenced and scrubbing on paper, she is uninterested! The thought that a smart woman like that would get away with this! Her enjoyment of doing this is what took her down! Every text message every video! The scary part is how many parents out there are doing the same and are smarter than her! It's Scary! People please check on your loved ones stop in once a month and look at your Loved Ones If you are denied call 911 immediately! I believe this could have been prevented! Make laws that children home schooled have to be seen by a cop, fireman or social worker once a month! Let's make it a Law! Timothy's Law!
“Something broke “ her defence attorney says. She is not broken she is a sadist, she is a complete waste of skin.
What she did to that poor sweet boy is beyond evil.
Now we know what evil looks like. If you’re unadulterated evil.
She even wanted to keep parenting rights for G, I suppose to keep a firm control on him. Thanks goodness, she's lost them.
So sad and horrible.I have no words to describe this case , it was painful to even listen to. 🙏
This tragedy... simply can't be explained. It makes no sense. Rest in peace dear blue-eyed boy 😞
As someone who grew up in cps care our deepest fear as children wasn't being separated from our mother, the reason we put up with her abuse was the fear of being seperated from each other as siblings. My heart broke for them both and Timothy when his brother said he hated to say goodbye and would cling to them. A mother shouldn't bond her children through trauma and fear. I hope that woman burns in hell.
Someone should have closed the window blinds- an evil monster shouldn’t be seen against such a beautiful snowy backdrop- it’s like putting Béarnaise sauce over rotten eggs.
Rest easy, Timothy- your suffering is over. ❤
Hollandaise sauce goes on eggs. Just saying. But I do like your analogy! And I love Eggs Benedict
Just plain evil. Imagine if you worked beside this woman everyday. I wonder what her coworkers have to say about her?
I heard she wasn't liked, she spent most of the day staring into her fone, now we know why.
Good show Vinny!
Hey Vinnie! I saw your interview with Emmy on East Idaho News. That was awesome!🤩
This story is almost beyond belief. It's just incredible ........ and evil really does exist in our world. Frightening. RIP Timothy WE love your memory.
I love your feelings for this child Vinny your a super Dad I feel like you incredible what she did none one cand understand why Yes just one person knows why Shonda knows we will never understand I actually feel for her son he was brain washed by her
The note he wrote for his gf reminds me of The Sweat-Hogs when Vinnie wrote his school Vinnie didn’t go to school because he was sick signed Vinnie’s mother. Crazy as hell
Also what are dx so far on these family members?
It’s so upsetting, poor Timmy. I’m glad he’s happy and at peace now. What he suffered through is heartbreaking 😢
the music on the background is so horrible
What on earth is she writing whilst the judge is giving his sentence. Its like she is enjoying the case and things she is a lawyer during this case. She is emotionless.
It’s just to make her look smart,and that way she’s not wanting to hear anything that’s been said.
What's with the Resident Evil typewriter save room music during the siblings speech? A curious editorial decision to say the least lol
It makes so much sense that that child hated to say goodbye to any other family member or visitor because he knew that he would then be stuck home alone with mom and the torture would continue.
This wicked beast hated that little boy for no reason. She need never see another free moment
I think these horrendous people should be required to stand up and explain their actions and thinking to the court.
What a wicked viIe creature!
Thank you judge
Best judge ever 😊 justice has been well and truly served
THAT JUDGE WAS AMAZING!!!
that pseudo-resident evil saferoom music tho lol
My honest opinion? Shanda won't survive prison! There are real mothers there!
I think the state should be charged for leaving any child in her custody. Why on earth did they feel the need to only take two kids from her? There is more here that we didn’t get information on. What ever judge that only took the two older ones away should be in prison beside her. 😤🤬
where is Timothy's Father through all this and on this day??? WTF!
I can’t wait to have time to watch this… For those of you who are following, where’s a good podcast to start?
I watched this on "dreading"s channel here on CZcams. Can't say I enjoyed it bwcause it's so freaking horrible but he does a great job of covering it
Ohhhhh I missed you Vinnie and thank the heavens for justice and hell for this woman… Rest in eternal peace beautiful Timothy xx 🥹🙏💔🇦🇺
13:41 I stand by it! I loved that part!
Who is the prosecutor? Seems like a stand up guy, would be a tough job
13:01 there is no “evil”. Just broken humans. 💔
Where was the bio dad?? I know he couldn't handle him but the is he not there in court??😢
Nope. Foul
Re: Treehouse Murder trial: He's history's greatest Chameleon. Grade: AAAA for his Narcissistic being.
I had to fast for the last 2 1/2 days . Finally tonight I got to eat . I thought about Tim the whole time 😢 couldn’t stop thinking about him . The pain he went through. I’m so sorry Tim RIP 🕯️🙏
How the hell did she get those children back when DCS took them? RIP Timothy. Prayers for all the other children she abused😢. She’s where she needs to be.
The judge is sentencing her and she's just writing and correcting her paperwork that her lawyer had to tell the judge to correct..before he handed down her sentence, this women is a massive narcissistic!
One of the worst questions I've ever heard coming from a journalist "Are you prepared to go to jail if you get found guilty"
She won't have fun behind bars.
She has a serious character defect...she's processing everything coherently, but her processor has a bug
Female psychopath
I hope they keep her in the general population!! Maybe she will be faced with others who are not fond of child abusers 👿👿
Justice is not enough. However, justice was served. She will definitely be haunted daily by what she did to her own flesh & and blood, although she may pretend she has no conscience...She can definitely pretend, but she will die a haggard "being" in prison!
How do we react to the jarring stories of people driven to crime by desperate circumstances?
Pretty cool that Vinny was picked for a jury!! 😊
The persistent torture, day in and day out, it was something out of Joseph Mengele’s mind.
This of your own child makes even worse.
I hope prison is a living hell every last day
