I dont understand why there are no criminal charges against the monster mother.

[@michaeljcarneyjr.6187]

Because Feminism and Feminists use words like sexist and misogyny at any decision that doesn't go a mother's way. Good Women need to shame women like Feminist who protect bad mothers from the system. Women care little what happens to men and boys, pathetic!

[@sparrowreport2879]

It's refreshing to see fathers fighting for their kid. Doing well on programs.

[@patriciaevans5906]

True

[@lisamariedooley2045]

They got their voice back. Children deserve both parents but when one is like this Mom then she should have to get her life fully together before seeing the child again

[@user-qd3nl6lb6c]

Equal treatment under the law, treat fathers as they do women. First of all, if the fathers are fit they should get their children. Mom is unfit, and shouldn’t get them back. Child Custody cases, CPS and the states really really need to get their crap together. Revamp the system. This is absolutely ridiculous that the children aren’t with their fathers, it isn’t in their best interest. Their interest is to be with a good parent and not a psycho.

[@Budgi3girl]

Mr Bentz admitted to violence (admittedly only AFTER the dept got video proof/police report, but he did admit it, but who knows what else hes done that the dept hasnt got video evidence of 😳). Right decision for now in my opinion, supervised visits for now. It does drive me a little crazy when mum gets 'orrr you need more help because you held your child under water' but if it had been a dad who had done this he wouldnt see the child again and be behind bars! Fairs fair.... 😡

[@cynthiarodriguez1019]

I agree. It should be a parent first over another, every time. It's sad they even have to have courts involved to make shit happen. I pray they do the right thing by this child

[@phyllistaylor5634]

So per Ms Acosta if Dad hadn't been in jail the child could have been placed with him! Same result! Send that child to her Dad!

[@tiam.5897]

Is anyone else screaming at this case? Why is mom getting any visits? She's completely traumatized these children and she has yet to be compliant with the dv classes! As for education, it sounds reasonable to keep the child in school #3 til summer. Then she will have a couple of months to bond with dad and settle in to her new home. Hopefully the children are in- and will continue- counseling. This is so depressing🥺

[@patriciaevans5906]

I scream at this one and a lot of them!

[@amyhunter7401]

The state SHOULD NOT be able to keep a child if there is a fit parent.

[@cabbott328]

I don't know about that just because of the Christopher Gregor case. He was supposedly the "fit" parent. it's so difficult. In this case, mom is completely nuts

[@maryholden3136]

If the child is in state care they need to make sure the parent is really fit......drug, alcohol and criminal background are all important and indicative of possible problems in the future. The welfare of the child should be paramount to everyone

[@LlamaLlamaMamaJama]

@@maryholden3136 for the child’s sake they need to be reeeeeally efficient though! It was outside the US, but my ex’s first wife was dangerous-as in stabbed him with a knife, was in prison when delivering their twins. She was never allowed to be alone with them; following her release, she was given one hour professionally supervised each week. Their CPS equivalent assessed my ex’s family, drug tested him etc and they went home from the hospital in his care with strong family support. Kids don’t understand “better safe than sorry” and I just think there needs to be a really high bar for removing them from a parent.

[@texasproud8822]

I am thankful the daughter will get to know her dad.

[@Budgi3girl]

It does drive me a little crazy when mum gets 'orrr we needto give you more time and get you more help because you held your child under water' but if it had been a dad who had done this, he wouldnt see the child again and be behind bars! Dont get me wrong both men and women abusers need help, but if found guilty they should serve time whilst getting help... both genders! .... 😡

[@theL0VERS]

If mom is a scew up then thats on her. Do not keep a kid in foster care bc dad lives in another state. The mom may never get herself together. Ridiculous.

[@armurph1102]

How much more selfish does this violently abusive "mother" and her aggressive attorney have to prove themselves to be? The fact that this attorney & physically abusive "mother" would much rather this child stay in the foster system with people she does not really even know than for this child to be placed with her father.

[@tammydonahue4958]

I am in tears. These poor babies.

[@H2G2_STP]

It's good to see two dad's making an effort even if it should've happened sooner. Not every guy grows up with a role model on how to be a protective parent or what a dad really even is. Not every father is a dad. And...i keep thinking about Judge Kim and those fans and the eye rolling.

[@nakela2]

Your statement rings so true! My dad didn't have his father growing up, and he raised myself and my two siblings in a 2 parent household. And my brother said to us that given his upbringing, the streets raised him, he was a damn good father and provider! May not have been the best husband, but he was definitely a dad!! I love that man!

[@H2G2_STP]

@@nakela2 my best friend was adopted when he was 4. He acknowledges that his mother and father created him but weren't mom or dad quality (two addicts). His father left to try to get clean and his mother left the state with him and moved constantly due to her addiction. To him the couple who adopted him are his mom and dad. They chose him and love him. He's in his 40s now and celebrates his adoption day each year instead of his birthday. Conception makes a mother and father. Loving and care make a mom and dad.

[@princessrosie90]

This mom gives me antisocial personality disorder vibes. See how quickly she can turn on and off the sadness? Praying for these little girls!

[@tamaraperras9853]

I am so impressed with the dads! When Dad started to cry, I joined him. Can't wait to rewatch when you have a case update! I always do. 😃

[@jinny13]

54:33 the father’s reaction says so much. Holding back tears and you can tell he was keeping himself from reacting outwardly to hearing that his daughter will safely be placed with him. I sincerely wish them the best ❤️🙏🏻 Mom is a danger and I feel like so many stories of mothers killing their children start off with a history like hers. I’m glad that the court and the various attorneys/caseworkers are all in agreement about the safety issues with mom and the risk of harm to the child both physically and emotionally. I hope she gets herself and her life together for her sake and for the sake and safety of all her children.

[@Brookawooka]

You’re absolutely right. Elijah Lewis was killed by his mom even though his father fought to get him. CPS kept returning the boy to the mom, though. Even though her own father said it wasn’t safe.

[@user-zl7zr2rt2v]

If they let any of the children go to mom, or even give mom a pass on anything. For the moms lawyer, to say this would not have happened if he was home. The father is the only choice, this child can change schools 10 times and the impact won't be near what the mother has done to her. Now, the mom is still committing crimes of violence against the father, she needs prison.

[@maryholden3136]

This case is so sad. Of the three children who have been abused and traumatized Scarlett is the only one who has a positive option at the moment. A stable home with her father and grandfather, distance from her abusive mother and a chance to start fresh in a new neighbourhood and school. Hopefully, she will learn how relationships should work and break the cycle

[@Budgi3girl]

Miss Fullers statement at the got me! 😍She fights for what is right but always gives that nugget of incouragement! Great balance ....a lot of stick and a promise of a little carrot even when things are really tough... people can change but these kiddos deserve for it not to be too long or their childhood will be gone and ruined in the bink of an eye. The dads seem to be doing ok but Mr Bentz only fessed up to his wrong doings whilw dept had proof of it! who know what esle there was to admit 🙄 Just hope they all think about these kiddies before themselves in future.

To mom: You wear those too long, too wide, too thick fake eyelashes like a mask. We can still see who you are. Give these children a break and don’t cause them or their fathers further harm.

[@Lindz_triple10]

Having fake eyelashes isn’t a degrading thing like you’re making it to be . How rude can you be . Fake eyelashes isn’t a damn mask . She has some serious mental health issues not her fake eyelashes making it as a mask . Make up is whatever she wants it to be just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it needs to be thrown at her like it makes it wrong to have fake big eyelashes , SERIOUSLY ? She is a domestic violence offender and a mental health problem. That’s the issue . Not the damn make up or whatever she may wear . Wearing certain clothing or make up doesn’t mean anything . If you’re a bad parent then that’s what you are . Stop throwing women’s choices of make up into the mix like that’s a problem . If you hate woman who aren’t natural that’s all you have to say . But it’s not a mask . 😷 it never will be . What a weirdo statement .

[@sharonbroadbent8138]

How can you reunify a child with a parent that has tried to kill them!

[@mandylucas123]

I totally missed this. Where is this part? Can you point me please

[@jenw.1412]

​@@mandylucas123when they talk about Charlotte saying her mom tried to drown her and also choked her. The only reason she stopped was because Mr. Bentz pulled her off of her and sat on her. It was said that the little girl even announced it to her entire class.

[@taniesha64]

So hard for a man to get their child.

[@amyhunter7401]

Maybe if mom didn't want her visits with her daughter disrupted, she should have been a better parent to start with. If Scarlett has a fit parent, she should be living with that parent.

[@AngelBabyMama]

I wish we could read the psychiatric evaluation.

[@bukibukurije1]

The childs needs come first not the mothers rights. Why should this child have to thru foster care when she has a dad and a stable living enviro nment

[@OnTropolis]

Absolutely. But it's never the child that comes first. The parents rights are always put above the child. It's disgusting.

[@LightInsights]

The other children have a dad too. Mom is tormenting him, and he loses the kids too? The state needs to get a grip

[@traceymcdonald7949]

It is SO GOOD to see 2 dad's stepping up!

[@PurpelDewdrop]

That monster is who she wants the child to remain in close proximity to. I know the attorneys are doing her job. But it it rages me to see someone fight that heart for something that is detrimental to a child. Everyone knows me, know I don’t give a damn about the adults. It’s children that I care about. So, as an adult if you’re not a good thing in a child’s life, get the heck out.

[@SuzanTisdaleCheekyWench]

Please tell me there is a follow up on this. My heart breaks for these babies.

[@karendkn1960]

[@robynxenis]

I really hope the kids are doing well and their lives are just getting better and better from here on out. ❤

[@user-zl7zr2rt2v]

Why does it take more than 5 adult officers of the court to manage 3 adults that can't get along well enough for the benefit of them children. The lawyer questioning the case worker, it is not her job to figure out how them adults get to seethe kids..,her job is to make decisions in the best interest of the children...not for the mother to get her life figured out. You want to see your children, then get your shit together, find a way to pay for flights to go see the children...no one ownes this woman free visits to see her children.

[@danaetscorn9203]

Interesting story. Thank you!

[@valerie362]

If the mom was so concerned with keeping her child in state, she wouldn't have let CPS be involved in her life in the first place. Holy moly! They buried the lead! The mother is accused of terrible things. Poor girl. That is heartbreaking!

[@robynxenis]

I’m glad paternal grandma has older child now vs before when she was with a seemingly random ex step dad.

[@angelasheets1500]

Isn't Acosta the same one who never wants reunification with the parents? Or am I thinking of someone else

[@karendkn1960]

No you’re right

[@jenw.1412]

Yes she is. She'd have all of the children taken away put up for adoption. I've even wondered if she isn't accepting payments from some of the people wanting to adopt these children.

Seeing Mr. Rascor just sbout break down at getting his daughter just warmed my heart. Bless him. After hearing all mom has said or done, a psych eval sounds necessary. Jope she gets some help. God blesss. Shoaf for saying moms daughter lives her and repeated it. Mom needed yo hear that. Hope she does get the proper help .

Wow this so called mother should never be around her children or any other children. 😢😢 Those poor baby's 😢 😞 I don't know how they could ever think of putting these kids back with this mom. She can go in to councilor and act like she doing better and lie. And that scars me if mother dose this they will give the kids back. Wow

[@theknitwit7098]

This was very tough for me to watch! My mom tried to harm (and likely kill) me when I was very young, but she was a MUCH slicker operator than this mother. From the outside, she looked perfect, loving, and devoted, but she greatly resented me, and it bothered her that my father sometimes put me first. After I became verbal, the physical hijinks stopped, and began abusing me psychologically. I am not a stupid person, but it was only after I became an adult, did I realize that the things were done to me, as opposed to ME doings things that put me at risk.

[@OnTropolis]

I'm sorry you went through that. Some people are just truly not meant to raise humans

[@theknitwit7098]

[@karenstephens1418]

Absence, on its face, is not an offense. A military spouse on deployment is absent . Under your theory the military spouse should’ve been able to keep the child safe; that is impossible. You assume incarceration equals bad parent; that is incorrect.

[@OnTropolis]

Nothing is absolute. You're correct. But 9/10 of these "non offending parents" in these cases are just deadbeat or disinterested parents who are just as much to blame as the losers that did whatever they did to get their kids removed. If I'm a cynic, it's because I have watched hundreds of these cases and I get tired of hearing "I wasn't there" like it's an excuse.

Mom's lawyer is doing her job sticking up for Mom but being with her father instead of foster care is more important. Her Mom hurt her. Too bad she can't visit her daughter in person. If they just got divorced, the child would be allowed to go to NY to be with a parent. Pretty bad when the Dad's try harder for the kids than the Mom. She doesn't deserve visits. Especially when she has supervised virtual visits for now!
