I'll never understand why child abuse isn't called rape any more. And why these monsters don't get life in prison.

[@redwojak5182]

Prison? You probably mean electric chair.

[@littlesofty01]

​@@redwojak5182 rather use ( + ) pew pew

[@hangedups2608]

SOMETIMES ITS NOT

[@baffledbits3226]

Not all abuse is sexual and rape has a specific definition.

[@Aaron.Seabolt]

Not all child abuse is rape. There’s physical and mental abuse that’s not always sexual. Like people that beat their kids or torture them.

[@NeiaSun]

Story nine is insane. Hopefully he’s never hurt another person again. Clearly he knew what he was doing.

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

I was wondering if anyone else was affected by this one...definitely the most insane. I'm proud of her standing up for herself. I'm not sure if I could have done as good a job

[@Shadmockk]

First story's nuts. Like thought crime is one thing, but talking about specific people you want to cannibalize and googling people's addresses and info is way too far to be just fantasizing, especially considering those who do go through with that

[@Madalina1098]

No sane person would think of such things. That man is dangerous.

[@DakotaMambaPrescott244]

Exactly, some of these judges need to be removed immediately because they keep on letting dangerous people out who are clearly dangerous to society. Those judges are just as dangerous as the criminals they release

[@baffledbits3226]

Yeah, it was definitely the abuse of his powers as an officer and sharing real phots of people he knows that made it alarming.

[@brittanyarford6353]

The conversation about the money exchange for kid napping was all I needed to hear. Someone fantasizing doesn’t start talking numbers unless it’s a true plan

[@ravenshadows444]

Something that i didn't hear included here was that he had paid people do actually commit the kidnappings, but they backed out and he just lost his money. He absolutely WAS GOING TO DO IT

First story, at the end wife defends her husband's possible pedophilia murder fantasies 😅 says "you got to accept your partners flaws in a marriage noones perfect",...... um. There you go happy now, accept, except.

[@Taj-Mahal]

[@Sitandspinpls]

Crazy what people will defend when they love someone. Take the madeline soto case for example. The people who choose to defend and makes excuses for these monsters tend to be just as evil, just in a different way.

No, "accept". Big difference in meaning!

[@Flyfeesh]

Someone please comment back as far as how or why I can and do fall asleep to these almost every evening. Is it the calming tone? It’s certainly not the subject matter 😂

[@Mom-a-Dragon7622]

If the thought crime includes preparation and conspiracy to do something to someone like that it is definitely more than a fantasy! Def predatory!

[@lydiapetra1211]

I completely agree with you...

[@Nicholem718-1]

That’s actually statutory law. Conspiracy is not just discussing what you want to do. It must include action to commit the crime. For the perp in story 1, I’m sure he did something in furtherance of the conspiracy for him to get indicted.

And we're supposed to believe story 4? The lady that was safe in her car, but somehow got a sudden desire to be the Incredible Hulk and get out of the car to fight 3 men? Yeah, sure... Lets not forget the bad guys were supposedly trying to break her windows and they had s crowbar, but they only used the crowbar to try to pry the door open. They didnt try to bash the window with the crowbar... People, If you're gonna make up a story, at least think it through and proofread for severe plot holes.

[@breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.]

Im appalled by the first story and how okay people are with fighting for the justice of someone who wanted to violently hurt their wife. His mother especially. Fantasy or not, that is disturbing and he deserves to be in jail. How often does the justice system not take action when it comes to cases, like stalkers for example, and then it's too late and they've harmed the victim they were fantasising about. So yeah, keeping him in jail is the preventative step society needs. He was violating multiple people, regardless if he physically did anything or not

And it hasn't made it's way to the public. And or people don't share screenshots. For their own safety. As I said before. You are still very much seen by who runs those rooms

[@Humanbean00]

[@leah1324]

Story 4 mentioned that similar situations had happened there before and it reminds me of another story I heard on here a while ago. The woman in the story got a room and the owner kept coming to her door, gave her sus coffee, and then came back later with friends. She escaped through the window and took off in her car, but didn’t have proof so the police couldn’t do anything. It would be crazy if that was the same motel and the perps learned from this story to disable the car to keep her from getting away.

[@animekingdom4918]

Sounds like a fake story honestly

[@nasty__nancy998]

[@SusanPetersenLilly]

I am so happy I found your KZbin. I enjoy listening to you telling these stories and I really love the long sets. I listen to you when I'm making dinner, driving someplace, getting ready to go to bed, etc. 😊 On a side note, it really isn't surprising that Charlie acted like this. Everyone has the ability to do some really bad things, regardless of any circumstances. Special needs or not, I believe Charlie would have done the same thing. Plus based on the woman's story, Charlie lied, changed his story and has well off parents. In my opinion, this probably wasn't Charlie's first rodeo.

[@sanimi]

Why did the woman get out of her car??? I get fight or flight but she was IN A CAR

[@kristenasskickin]

Right?? Especially KNOWING the police were on their way. I’m tall for a woman, and I’ve been an EMT for ten years, so I’m fairly strong and confident I could hold my own in a fight. If I was locked in a car surrounded by three violent men, you bet your ass I would STAY IN THE CAR. The odds are not in your favor, like what are you trying to prove? EDIT: I’d also like to point out that while she didn’t know that one of them had a knife, they had already tried gaining access to the car with a FUCKING CROWBAR. That by itself is a solid weapon. The sheer stupidity of trying to fight 1v3 against a crowbar is pretty hard to believe.

[@Godzilla763]

Probably because it's fake, the fact that 3 dudes with knives and a crowbar got their teeth kicked in and the person they were attacking only got some minor bruises and 1 cut and none of them tried to hit her with the crowbar.. yea

[@Godzilla763]

​@@kristenasskickinI'm leaning towards it being fake, especially since none of them attacked her with said crowbar

[@kristenasskickin]

@@Godzilla763 oh absolutely, I don’t believe for a second that any of it is true. It reads A LOT like at least one other story that has been covered on this channel, featuring a lone woman staying by herself at a sketchy motel and choosing to sleep in her car for safety, only to have some scummy guys later come to her room looking for her. It also feels like the author forgot that she armed the three guys with a crowbar, which is why it was never used for anything other than an initial attempt to break into the car, and they apparently failed to break any windows with it. Sometimes I think it’s fun to try and recognize when a story is fake. And sometimes it’s just so frustrating that I stop listening to these stories altogether, because I know that no matter how obviously made up it is, there are plenty of people out there who are going to believe it without question.
