Same thing here, joining 58 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: me an all star panel. But first I'm going to 59 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: go to crime online dot Com investigative reporter Nicole Parton. Nicole, 60 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to just ask you a series of rapid 61 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: fire questions. Okay, then I'm going to go to the 62 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: other experts to explain aspects of what we are hearing 63 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: right now. You're telling me the little girls two years old, right, yes, 64 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: and she's near death. She starved that much. It's not 65 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: like she just went to bed without her supper. But 66 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: the girl is about to die at age two, and 67 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 2: they find her duct tape. 68 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 4: How they're they're working on the dishwasher and they hear 69 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 4: this baby crying, like not just the baby upset, but 70 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: uncontrollably crying, fighting for its life. They go into the 71 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 4: living room and they see a baby under a blanket. 72 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 4: When they lift the blanket, there she is duct taped, 73 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 4: her limbs duct tape. They see her emaciated body. She's 74 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 4: hours away from dying. Thank goodness. They take the videos 75 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 4: and they take photos and call us forty. 76 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: I don't know how medical professionals can determine you're just 77 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: quote hours from death, because Nicole Parton, you have literally 78 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: ten children. When I gave birth to the twins, the 79 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: doctor said Lucy would have died within thirty six to 80 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: seventy two hours if we had not had any emergency 81 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: c section. She was not getting any nutrition. She weighed 82 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: two pounds. John David or twin brother was getting it all. 83 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: I don't know how they can look at someone and 84 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: tell but guess what, they're almost always right. We have 85 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: a medical doctor on doctor Harvey Castro to explain that 86 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: to us. But first I'm want to go to doctor 87 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: John Delatory, very well known psychologist and mediator, especially in 88 00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: forensic psychology. You can find him at Resolution FCS. Doctor Delatory, 89 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: Thank you for being with us, doctor Delatory. Another striking 90 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: aspect of this discovery of a two year old little 91 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: girl duct tape and starved. They didn't really even try 92 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: to hide it. The dishwasher repairman walks in and the 93 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,799 Speaker 2: baby is in the lying in the floor under a blanket, crying. 94 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: I guess in the next room, what is that. 95 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 5: Well, you have to remember these individuals are doing this 96 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,119 Speaker 5: because they don't see the child as being a human 97 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 5: in any way. Right. They have the blanket over the 98 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 5: child because they want the child to be scared. They 99 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 5: want the child in their mind. They're trying to teach 100 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 5: this child a lesson. Right does this matter if they 101 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 5: have any family relations or anything like that. All that 102 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 5: matters is that the children listen to them. Right, Children 103 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 5: in these situations are merely objects and if they if 104 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: the object does something wrong, then they need to be punished, 105 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 5: and they'll be punished with with restricted movement, and they'll 106 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 5: be punished with the restriction on food to teach them 107 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 5: a lesson. This is about power, This is about showing 108 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 5: that they have authority over the child. 109 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: Well, we'll see who gets taught a lesson in this scenario. 110 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: I want to hear more about this, Jackie. Let's hear 111 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: in our cut to Dave Mack from Crime Online. 112 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 6: The maintenance workers show Houston police their photos and videos. 113 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 6: Police take the girl to the hospital, where doctors say 114 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 6: she might not have survived through the night had she 115 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 6: not been brought in for care. KPRC reports the child 116 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 6: was malnourished and suffered injuries indicating physical abuse. 117 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: This is what I'm learning. Let me go to doctor 118 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: Harvey Castro, board certifined emergency care physician, health care consultant, 119 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: CEO of Medical Intelligent Ops and creator of text Sherlock Holmes, 120 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 2: which I love because my son and I are obsessed 121 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: with Sherlock Combs and I very often go to my 122 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: mind palace. Dtor Castro, I want you to hear what 123 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: I've learned about the injuries to this two year old 124 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: little girl twenty four months old. Take a listen. 125 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 7: The two year old girl was found with her feet 126 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 7: duct taped and was determined to be nonverbal and suffering 127 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 7: from physical abuse as well as psychological abuse and neglect. 128 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 7: Doctors discovered she also suffered a brain bleed caused by 129 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 7: head trauma, anemia, and kidney failure as a result of 130 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 7: the abuse. Even though she is two years old, the 131 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 7: victim is so malnourished her weight is equivalent to that 132 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 7: of an average one year old. The list of the 133 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 7: child's injuries was extensive, including acute kidney injury, bilateral subdural hemorrhages, anemia, malnourishment, 134 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 7: subconjunctival hemorrhages, and retinal hemorrhages. 135 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: You know, doctor Harvey Castro, hearing Sidney Summer from crime online, 136 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: apparently read off from a medical report, reminds me of 137 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: going to the medical examiner's office. And of course they 138 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: would all hip when they saw my beat up Honda, 139 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: usually smoking from under the hood, coming their way, letting 140 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 2: the blinds down, shut the door because they did not 141 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: want to go through every single word, which I had 142 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: to do. It's like someone speaking Latin. When you medical 143 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: Lexander start talking, you no offense. I love medical examiners, 144 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: Doctor Harvey Castro. My first question is how can you 145 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: look at somebody and say, oh, well, they're going to 146 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: be dead in twenty four hours. How do you It's 147 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: like the weather. How do you know that? 148 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, honestly, it's our clinical distault. After being seen so 149 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 8: many patients think of it. We see thousands of thousands 150 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 8: a year, and then walking in a room, you can 151 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 8: tell color of the skin, at their kneemas they're vitals 152 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 8: to how their heart rate, how they're acting. Often within 153 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 8: thirty seconds, you can walk in and tell yeah, this 154 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 8: this person's not going to make it, or this person's 155 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 8: going to be hospitalized, or we need to jump on 156 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 8: these things quick because this person's not going to make it. 157 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: Wow, that was a lot of information doctor. I'm trying 158 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: to digest it, but it reminds me the twins are 159 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: constantly asking how do you know when people are lying? Well, 160 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: because I've put I don't know, five to eight thousand 161 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: people under oath and watched them lie. I certainly haven't 162 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: taken a class in it, but I can tell most 163 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 2: of the time. So you and other doctors, especially in 164 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: er doctors, because you see so many people near death. 165 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: It's not like going to the dermatologist, right, No, if 166 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: it's to all you dermys out there, But they took 167 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 2: one look at this little girlment she would be dead 168 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: in twenty four hours. That's what they said.

When you 340 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: keep duct taping someone, they ultimately get sores and wounds 341 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: where the skin gets torn away from the duct tape. 342 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: Isn't that true, yes, ma'am. 343 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 8: And then we have a natural barrier, which is our skin, 344 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 8: and when you break that skin, even through duct tape, 345 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 8: you're going to introduce infections. 346 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: So this is what we've got. The dishwager Repairment goes in. 347 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: He finds his child hiding under a blanket. I don't 348 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: know why she's under the blanket, starving, near death and 349 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 2: covered in duct tape. This is what we learn from 350 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: the other children that Child Protective Services aka defacts. They 351 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: just decide to let the other children stay there for 352 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 2: a couple of days, just test that out. This is 353 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: what we learn from them. 354 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 6: Listen, the other children in the home paint a grim picture. 355 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 6: The other children said. The girl sleeps on the floor 356 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 6: and regularly removes the tape from her arms, legs, and mouth. 357 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 6: The toddler gets popped when she removes the tape, and 358 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 6: a lock has been put on the refrigerator to prevent 359 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 6: the little one from accessing food. ABC thirteen reports, during 360 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 6: an interview with investigators. Perkins's boyfriend tells police he has 361 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 6: never seen the toddler's ankles being taped, just her hands. 362 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 6: Flucker said the girl would not eat when given food, 363 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 6: would then sneak food from the refrigerator, trash can, and pantry, 364 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 6: and that her hands were bound to prevent her from 365 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 6: doing so. 366 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: And more from Sidney Sumner. 367 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 7: Six year old twins tell police they have seen Perkins 368 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 7: and Kenry Flucker duct tape the two year old because 369 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 7: she wastes food. One of the twins tells investigators the 370 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 7: toddler gets popped if she removes the duct tape, and 371 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 7: that Perkins and Flucker allegedly use a belt to whoop 372 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 7: the little girl. That their mother instructed them to tell 373 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 7: anyone who asks about the duct tape that she and 374 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 7: her twin brother had been wrapping each other up. 375 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: So like Ruby Frankie claiming a three year old was 376 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: into porn, you have, according to these children, who I 377 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 2: find to be some of the best witnesses in all cases. 378 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 2: Many people argue they can't recount what has happened, but 379 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: I counter that with the theory that they don't have 380 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: the wherewithal to lie, as well as adults. They like 381 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: the cunning. So this is what I'm gathering from what 382 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: two six year old twins tell us. That the little 383 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: two year old gets beaten with a belt if she 384 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: wastes food, and that the two little six year old 385 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: twins were instructed to lie, claiming that if asked that 386 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: the little girl would wrap the little girl and the 387 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: others would play with duct tape and wrap each other up. Okay, 388 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: joining me right now, Jason Jensen, out of Salt Lake, 389 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: private investigator, owner Jensen Private Investigations and co founder of 390 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 2: the Cold Case Coalition. You can find Jason at Jensen 391 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 2: Private Investigations dot com. Jason, I love and loved putting 392 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: child witnesses on the stand. I never like to put 393 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: a child on the stand that has been a victim, 394 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 2: but I would do what I had to do to 395 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 2: put the devil in jail. You can count on that 396 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 2: and another thing, Jensen. While I believe it is traumatic 397 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: to put a child on the stand and I don't 398 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: like that, I think years on that, well know, somebody, 399 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: if not their own parents, somebody took up for them, 400 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: and somebody put the bad guys behind bars for them. 401 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 2: And yes, it comes at a price. The price is 402 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 2: them having to testify. Jason Jensen, The first thing I 403 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: would do is put these children on camera, video their 404 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 2: statements and nail it down. I don't think that they're lying. 405 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: I don't think children normally have the wherewithal to lie 406 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: the way parents. 407 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 12: Do you know, Nancy, you're right about that. I mean, 408 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 12: children are resilient. If you put them in that kind 409 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 12: of a spooky environment where they're not comfortable, put on 410 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 12: the stand in a room with an investigator for an interview, 411 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 12: it's temporary. They get over it. They usually I see 412 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 12: in the TJC videos they sigh relief when they get 413 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 12: to leave. They got whatever on their mind out in 414 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 12: the open and they can go on. So yeah, they 415 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 12: make the best witnesses. 416 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: And just thinking about how I would prove this case. 417 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: How would marshal the evidence? Now? What about the bio 418 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: mom just passing the little girl off to a relative 419 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: and literally leaving the state. Take a listen. 420 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 3: The mother of the abuse toddler admitted to relinquishing care 421 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 3: and custody and control of her daughter to Tanisha Perkins 422 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 3: a few months before KHOU reports. Henry Flucker confirmed the 423 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 3: girl had been living there a few months, Flucker tells 424 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 3: police the toddler's seventeen year old aunt, Maya jahar Bro Magruder, 425 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 3: moved in with them about the same time. Flucker blames 426 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: the abuse and neglect of the toddler on Perkins and Magruder. 427 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: Back to Nicole Parton, I want to learn more about 428 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: why this two year old girl was even in that apartment, 429 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: who was supposed to be taking care of her. 430 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 4: Her biological mother had said she couldn't care for her, 431 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 4: didn't want her anymore, and had left her in the 432 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 4: care of her cousin, who is Tanisha Perkins, the twenty 433 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 4: seven year old living in the home. The bio mom 434 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 4: had moved on with her life, moved to another state, 435 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: gotten a job somewhere else, and had relinquished all rights 436 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 4: and responsibilities of her daughter, leaving her in the care 437 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 4: of this twenty seven year old. 438 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 2: I want to go now to Jlaysia Krome joining US 439 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: Chief Communication Officer Prevent Child Abuse America, Jalaysia, thank you 440 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: for being with us. Got a question for you with 441 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: so I can count three adults living in this home. 442 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: How can one or two of them stand by and 443 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: do nothing when they see the third adult abusing the child. 444 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: Doesn't that make them all part of it? 445 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 10: You know? That's correct. They are all standing around all 446 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 10: they all do have a responsibility to this child, to 447 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 10: this defenseless child. And my concern, as I said before, 448 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 10: that none of these people in this household have the 449 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 10: resources that they need to make this right, to have 450 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 10: fixed this. And I'm not saying again that this is 451 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 10: where we should give a flying fig as far as 452 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 10: it comes out. 453 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: Hey, hey, Juli said, what does that mean? They don't 454 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: have the resources they need? This is abuse. This is plain, old, mean, hateful, 455 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: evil abuse, straight from hell. What resource do they need 456 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: to know? They're not supposed to duct tape a baby 457 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: and with whole food till she starves. 458 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 10: They should definitely know that. But if they grew up 459 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 10: watching the same thing, what about this two year old 460 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 10: that almost dies? What's going to happen to her when 461 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 10: she grows up and she's never told and never given 462 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 10: the tools to be a better parent herself when she 463 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 10: grows up, the cycle continues. 464 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: Well, I know that I'm talking about this case and 465 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: these adults that did this, and they're all part of it. 466 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 10: They're all part of it. I oh, one hundred percent agree, 467 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 10: one hundred percent agree. I don't know what was going 468 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 10: through their minds, and I don't know why they felt 469 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 10: that this was the right the right way to discipline 470 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 10: a child. But this child almost die as they should 471 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 10: they should. 472 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: I mean, do you really think that they need some 473 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: kind of education uh in in parenting to know you're 474 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: not supposed to starve a two year old and put 475 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: a put a padlog on the on the fridge. 476 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 10: This should have happened long before. But if they were abused, 477 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 10: what if they were abused when they were young things? 478 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 10: This is a mental health issue as well. So the 479 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 10: cycle continues because no one gives a flying fig that 480 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 10: but they've been hurt. 481 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: I got a funny feeling you're gonna keep saying flying 482 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 2: fig because. 483 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 10: You didn't give me a chance to really explain what 484 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,239 Speaker 10: was going on. Because at the end of the day, 485 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 10: it doesn't mean that they don't deserve punishment, but we 486 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 10: got to look at what has happened to cause what 487 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 10: in the world would make a child think that this 488 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 10: is this is the way that they're supposed to discipline 489 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 10: a younger person in their family. 490 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: Well, you said this is what would make a child 491 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: saying this was Okay, these aren't children. They're adults, right. 492 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 10: These are adults that, for whatever reason, believe that this 493 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 10: is the way. But at one point they were children, 494 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 10: and so for whatever reason, they didn't get the tools 495 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 10: to understand this is not how you deal with your family, 496 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 10: This is not what you're doing is continuing discycle. So 497 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 10: someone this is James Ham. 498 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just gonna ask you, James, because that 499 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: sounds a lot like the state having to determine motive 500 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: that I'm supposed to say, oh, pitif them they were abused, 501 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: and I don't have any evidence they were abused at all, 502 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 2: but that's irrelevant in a criminal case, y'all. Not it 503 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. 504 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 11: I agree one hundred percent. It's not lost on me. 505 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 11: What she is saying that that past abuses can manifest 506 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 11: themselves into that abused person's conduct in current time. 507 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 2: Well, she's right, she's right. I hear her, and she's 508 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 2: right about that. But I still don't care. 509 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 11: No, I don't either. The resources they had were their 510 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 11: hands in their feet. They could have picked that child 511 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 11: up and left with that child, taken that child to 512 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 11: the police station. They could have called nine on one, 513 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 11: They could have unwrapped that child from douct tape at 514 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 11: any given time. It doesn't matter what resources were there, 515 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 11: were not there. It doesn't matter what parenting skills they have. 516 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 11: It's hard for me to believe that they did not 517 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 11: have a basic common sense or basic morality of right 518 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 11: and wrong to understand that this child is being abused 519 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 11: and is likely going to die if I don't do 520 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 11: something about it. 521 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 2: To doctor John Delatory, psychologists and mediator. Doctor Delatory, you know, 522 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: have you ever been to the zoo? 523 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:28,959 Speaker 9: Yes? 524 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: Okay, then you've been to the snakehouse? Right. I go 525 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 2: in the snakehouse and I hate snakes, but I look 526 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: at them because, you know what, there's a big thick 527 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 2: piece of glass between me and them. So in this case, 528 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 2: I'm intrigued. I'm discussing number one. I'm angry number two, 529 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: and I want justice. A nice long life behind bar 530 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: sentence would start making me feel a little bit better, 531 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: Doctor Delatory. One thing I'm fascinating with, and I don't 532 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: understand it, is the withholding a food, using food as 533 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: a way to abuse a child. I mean, it's evil, 534 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: but yet cunning. It's I've heard of it, but who 535 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out who even think to do that, 536 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: to put a padlot on the refrigerator. 537 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 5: Well, so when it comes to the food itself, right, 538 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 5: food is both a life giving thing. 539 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 9: Right. 540 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 5: We all need food just as much as we need water, right, 541 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 5: And so I think what happens is they see that 542 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 5: this child is not listening to them, The child isn't 543 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 5: doing whatever it is that they want them to do, 544 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 5: and so there is an aspect of suffering that that 545 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 5: must accompany that's not listening to me, right, because they're 546 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 5: not seeing the two year old as being someone who 547 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 5: clearly doesn't understand the world and clearly needs to be instructed. 548 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 5: They're seeing the two year old as someone that's just 549 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 5: not following the instructions that they are trying to give it. 550 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 5: And because of that, particularly, this not wasting food and 551 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 5: not wasting food is something that, yeah, you shouldn't waste food. However, 552 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 5: a two year old doesn't understand that. But the two 553 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 5: year old does understand when you don't have access to it. 554 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 5: The two year old does understand when it feels bad 555 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 5: because it's hungry, because it's starving, because its body is 556 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 5: literally eating itself in order to get the nutrients it 557 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 5: needs in order to survive, and they watch this happen. 558 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 5: The adults watch this happen, and they think they are 559 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 5: teaching a lesson. But that's not what is happening here. 560 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 5: That's not They aren't teaching a lesson. They've confused what 561 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 5: they thought they were doing with being something that is 562 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 5: actually necessary. 563 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: Time stories with me. It's a Greece, you. 564 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: Know, doctor Dolatory. I don't understand. As I was talking 565 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 2: to Jalaysia Krome earlier at Prevent Child Abuse America, the 566 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: adults standing by watching it happen. For all I know, 567 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 2: they took part. They all took part in it. There's 568 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: the also the unusual factor, which I've seen in so 569 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: many cases, including cases I prosecuted, where there are several children, 570 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 2: but one child is picked out to be mistreated the most. 571 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 2: In my case, in the cases I've seen untill the 572 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 2: child dies. But it reminds me of the Holocaust, where 573 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 2: the guards, the minders stood by and let the abuse 574 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 2: and murder of millions of jeeves happen, and they go, oh, well, 575 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 2: you know, I was just following orders, like that makes 576 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 2: it okay. It happened. It's not okay. And they are 577 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: just as responsible as the others. And I'm trying to 578 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: understand how in your mind you think it's okay to 579 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: stand by and watch hatred take over an abuse and 580 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 2: murder occur. James Shellnott, high profile lawyer out of Alabama. 581 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 2: They all need to be charged with felony child abuse. 582 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 2: And I think a tempted murder. I think this is 583 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 2: attempted murder. The child is in twenty four to thirty 584 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: six hours of death, that's attempted murder. 585 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 11: Oh absolutely. You know, how do you lay your head 586 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 11: down at night knowing that there's a child duct taped 587 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 11: in the living room to your own little girl? How 588 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 11: pathetic a a person do you have to be? I'll 589 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 11: tell you when I was a detective and investigated cases 590 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 11: like that, I was always very professional, played it by 591 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 11: the book. But I'll tell you this, when I go 592 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 11: to serve that warrant, it wouldn't hurt my feelings one 593 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 11: bit if I had to assist you in that pair 594 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 11: of handcuffs because you resisted. Because that's the type of demon, 595 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 11: as you said earlier, that is the type of person 596 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 11: who is a just horrible drain, a horrible menace to 597 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 11: society and I have nothing for him. 598 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 9: It's pitiful. 599 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 2: Guys, if you had not heard of that famous influencer 600 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 2: Ruby Frankie, I know you've heard of top mom Casey 601 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 2: Anthony and her murdered daughter Kelly.

According to the doctor, 607 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 13: there were three overlapping pieces of duct tape over the 608 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 13: lower aspect of the face, and that these pieces of 609 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 13: duct tape were the smoking gun that something terrible happened 610 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 13: to Kaylee Anthony. 611 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 2: In other words, it was no accident that Kelly died 612 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 2: and this case, the case in chief, reminds me of 613 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 2: a horrific case we covered out of Arizona.

Krome 641 00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 2: joining us from prevent child abuse America. You know, isn't 642 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: it the most bizarre thing when child abusers give their 643 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 2: reasoning and it's completely incriminating, but they think it explains 644 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 2: it all away. 645 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 10: And Grace like you, like you all have said, they're 646 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 10: just unfortunately, there's no excuse and they're not going to 647 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 10: be anything that one can say to make it right 648 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 10: or make the circumstances any lesson just it's so sad. 649 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,479 Speaker 10: I mean, it's really sad. And and like I said, 650 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 10: you know, it's unfortunate that we can't have some sort 651 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 10: of mer looking glass beard to see what's gonna come, 652 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 10: what's gonna happen. We don't know, we don't know why 653 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 10: these things are happening. There's no science to explain exactly why. 654 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 10: But at the end of the day, yeah, trying to 655 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 10: come up with reasons after the fact. No, let's get 656 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 10: ahead of it. It's prevent it. But I fully agree, 657 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 10: and I hear what you all are saying, and no 658 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 10: hearing these stories or hearing people try to defend it 659 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 10: and defend. 660 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 2: The Yeah, I think that's what they're doing.

But I want to go 697 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 2: back to Nicole Parton, who who is really an angel 698 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 2: on Arth. She's not just crime online dot Com investigative reporter. 699 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 2: She has ten children, many of whom she has fostered 700 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: and adopted. And we were talking Nicole about how very 701 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 2: often you'll see abusive parents single out one child and 702 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 2: end up like killing the child while the others seem 703 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 2: to be fine. 704 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 4: Yes, and this hits home for me my now adopted daughter. 705 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 4: She's ten now, but at the age of three, her 706 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 4: birth mother had targeted her. She had other siblings who 707 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 4: were well cared for, but for whatever reason, the mother 708 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 4: targeted my daughter. She abused her, she neglected her, wouldn't 709 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 4: feed her, and finally just abandoned her. Dropped her off 710 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 4: at the Miami Airport. She was three years old, just 711 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 4: left her there. My daughter still remembers being treated horribly, 712 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 4: being left, having food withheld from her. She had scars 713 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 4: on her arms where she was burned and taped. She too, 714 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 4: was taped to keep her from fire food. But fortunately 715 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 4: today she's loved and she's cared for, and she's mine. 716 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,760 Speaker 2: This little girl, we believe weighed seventeen to nineteen pounds 717 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 2: at age two.

These charges are against them, and 721 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 4: hopefully justice will be served. They can blame each other, 722 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 4: but at the end of the day, they're all responsible. 723 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 4: They all knew what was happening in that home. 724 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 2: Kenry Fluckers, Deshae Perkins, and Miam McGruder rot in hell 725 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 2: after a nice long stint behind bars. I imagine you 726 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 2: out on the yard looking up at the barbed wire 727 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 2: and I hope you remember why you're there, Goodness,
