That detective who wrote a poem for baby Jailyn is a national hero

[@audreyclarke6276]

I cried hearing his poem

[@someonerandom256]

We lived in an apartment when my oldest was about that age, and one night, he was teething and completely inconsolable. After a few hours of us trying to calm him, giving him tylenol and cuddles,we decided that he was probably overstimulated, and we lay him down in his crib. He really fussed for a few minutes and then finally fell asleep. Somone called the police on us, and I was annoyed. I showed them our sleeping baby and explained that he was teething and that we had had a hard time getting him off to sleep. I was irritated because I knew that we weren't abusing or neglecting him, but after watching this, I'm glad we had neighbors who cared enough to call!

[@annettemurielle]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@daisyproud110]

I think we have to use common sense; if you hear a baby crying hysterically once, or over a couple of nights, they are probably ill/ teething. It’s when it’s a regular occurrence it needs attention. You can’t have police turning up every time a baby has a bad night; your neighbour did overreact. It’s the neighbours who *knew* this woman was habitually neglecting her child and did not alert authorities that behaved unforgivably. They have a level of culpability.

[@username.not.known2473]

Any time someone cares enough about my child to send for investigation, that person is now my friend, for we have the same goals.

[@NoelleTakestheSky]

@@daisyproud110 I agree on the neighbors overreacting to one bad night (in many areas, police and CPS already don’t have time to take appropriate action on actual abuse, and stretching the thinner means faster reaction times in cases that end up with dead people), but disagree that Crystal’s neighbors are to blame. Crystal’s established pattern was asking a neighbor to babysit before ditching her, and the crying was caught on a Ring doorbell outside, not by people outside. Given the nature of this, and Jailyn’s age being an age where kids will scream like they’re being skinned alive over not getting ice cream for dinner, it makes sense that the neighbors had no idea Jailyn was alone, or that anything out of the ordinary was going on. What was ordinary there wasn’t great, but the ordinary wasn’t going to result in a dead baby. This wasn’t ordinary for Crystal.

[@Valentina-Steinway]

I would rather have false negatives and the few who are really being abused get saved, than all be ignored… Sorry you went through that…😢

[@alicia4899]

That lady who did the autopsy was FIGHTING for baby girl. Her voice was breaking but stayed so professional to make sure nothing was left out. I can’t even begin to imagine the long lasting trauma having to work over a tiny baby body who was so devastatingly lost to her caregiver. Her mother. I cried so such during this video.

[@RedLipstickBookAddict]

There’s no way she did this to her own daughter and thought she would survive. This wasn’t just neglect. This was a sadistic act of murder.

[@BeckBeckGo]

Right, but it's an insane one. Like, it would require total mental and cognitive instability to do this and assume you won't get caught. This case truly is weird. If she wanted to kill her baby, she could have done it much more intelligently than this. Not that I would ever support such a thing, but I'm a true crime fan, and these videos outline clever murder plots all the time. I don't understand her logic here, even if she was intentionally trying to kill her kid. It's the worst plan ever. Childrens' cartoons come up with better schemes than this. I'm a mother who is in 24/7 adoration of my little one, so that was hard to type. But I'm also a data analyst, and I know an edge case when I see it.

[@LauraLanny]

I do not leave my 2-year-old CAT alone for more than 12 hours, and even when I'm struggling I make sure he has food in his bowl and a clean litter box. How on earth did she think leaving a baby alone for even 10 minutes was ok? She deserves life imprisonment and constant fasting for good measure.

[@Sarah-og2tr]

Exactly what I was thinking! I was worried leaving my cat for two days with a friend checking in on her a couple times a day. I can’t imagine how that “mother” was able to eat, sleep or anything knowing that she left her baby alone!

Yes! My dog especially. I take my lunch hour to drive home and feed her and the cat their lunch, let the dog out to potty and get some fresh air, and there's about 5 while minutes for my actual lunch preparation, but those things are more important. I actually have NIGHTMARES about my animals dying because of neglect which I've never ever done. They are never dead and I'm always shocked in my dreams that they're not dead, an if course EXTREMELY relieved. I'm not sure what those dreams mean but they are recurring over decades, and sometimes involve animals I've never even owned or seen before. I'm sure there's some deep reason for them but they're very upsetting.

[@bloodyneptune]

My mom told me a story from when she was in her late 20s and living in a crappy apartment with paper thin walls: her neighbor was in a _very_ abusive relationship, and my mom called the police every time she heard him starting to attack her. The woman eventually found out it was her and flipped out on her, and my mom just told her if she heard it, shed be calling, every time. And she did. The lady never pressed charges, but after like a year the guy skipped out on her. She said one day the lady stopped her in the hall and thanked her, because if she hadn't called she was sure hed have killed her Which yeah, probably. The guy kept attacking her _knowing_ the police would be coming. Thats a crazy amount of rage to have

[@Globelle]

God bless that detective and the entire law enforcement community who sit up for this precious little angel.

[@nmikloiche]

When she said “It’s not like I shot her or beat her with a bat”, my immediate thought was, “actually, that would have been more humane”. Thats says a lot. Secondly, as a person with ADHD and long term depression, I take major objection to people who use mental illness as blanket defense to explain away acts of violence. Most of us who suffer with mental health illness don’t harm others, and if there be neglect or harm, it is often done to one’s self. This was a truly horrifying case and I thank Stephanie for using her platform to bring it to a larger audience.

[@myessanagi5307]

Same!!!! Just absolutely disgusting.

[@Royluver1313]

I also had the thought that it would have been less cruel for her to kill that baby quickly before her trip than leave her there to starve and suffer. How heartbreaking. 💔

[@saracobb7384]

I agree with you! I had to turn this off during the Ring footage of that sweet baby crying and gone back to it later because it was so devastatingly hard to listen to. I burst into tears and my husband was like “what is it?” And I said it’s a case involving a 16 month old and he said “oh no, did the parents kill the child?” And I said “it’s worse” I omitted the scarring facts, but simply said “the mom left her baby home alone in a pack n play for 10 days”. I can’t get the image of the fecal matter in her little nails and in her mouth out of head. 😭💔💔 I’ve been cuddling and loving on my 7 year old & 2 year old baby girls even more than usual.

[@pisceandreamer3]

Not necessarily. There's a woman living behind my place of work who is constantly screaming at her kids who are all 3 under about 6 1 still in a pram is barely a toddler. I reported to social services, police and MASH (multi agency safeguarding hub) at least once a week, usually more, for almost a year! My colleagues also reported. Nothing got done we were just ignored for all that time until I told my friend who's an officer that of something didn't get done soon I would confront the woman myself, take the kids to country hall and drop them off at social services and he'd be arresting me what I go back to do to the mother. That afternoon 2 social workers visited and a few weeks later there started being weekly visits from ss checking in n the mum calmed her shit down. The point being, perhaps people did report and try and sort something out, maybe even many times and were just ignored.

This was an immigrant community and many immigrants do not like getting involved with authorities for whatever reason. Hence, they never contacted CPS or the police when the mom would fail to pick the baby up from babysitting. Jaylin was described as a very easy going baby and if she was being left alone she learned crying wouldn't illicit a response so her crying may have been very little during the abandonment.

My mother has been a NICU nurse for almost 50 years and has watched premature babies time and again forget to breath, that part of the brain has not fully developed yet and it often takes considerable time for that function to finish maturing.

I live in Cleveland, also. I cried this morning after learning a 14-year-old boy was shot in the head, laying in a ravine for days on the opportunity corridor highway. A few weeks ago a guy I went to high school with was a shot in the head on East 49th for no reason. Things are crazy out here.

The neighbours should be held accountable. Quite happy to be apart of this case now.

[@dianne1214]

How could so Many of them listen and not call the police or go over and break the door down to save that little darling. She could have lived. She could have been placed in another home where that baby could have been loved and raised by people who deserved her and the baby deserved them. Every person that heard that baby crying is partially responsible for her death.

[@brooketrisano6450]

It makes me so angry that not one person thought to call for a wellness check. Not one. After days of hearing crying and no indication of anyone coming and going. How did not one person just feel like there could be something severely wrong?

[@maryannetesoro8848]

I know RIGHT? And anyone with ears knows those are not regular cries of a collicky baby, they were TORTURED howls of a starving child. Shame on them, shame on the grandparents, and most of all Crystal. There is no punishment that is enough for this crime.

[@stefanie9072]

Poor baby was failed by so many people (her horrible selfish “mother”, her family who took her mothers side, the neighbours who heard her cries for help) but I am so glad that at least the people in the justice system did right by her. Hopefully Crystal never sees the light of day again.

[@lolAnnMarie182]

I expect the mother to not give a rats but her extended family too? There are no words. It’s just sick. That poor precious baby.

[@karentucker2161]

Inwas thinking about that but I wonder at the sametime they didn't come because the girl's mother. They probably didn't want to look like they were supporting the mom instead of the baby. I'm trying to looknat it from all sides.

[@k_3911]

Yeah, I agree. Only those who knew her after death sat on her side, literally and figuratively, it seems. My mother always told us that if we ever _really_ hurt someone then she would completely disown us (except for self defense or protecting another). In my opinion, there is *no* good reason to defend her. Excuses like, "But it's their daughter" do *not* cut it for me. That baby was their _grandbaby_ , and that *grown woman* chose a *vacation* (that she seemingly had planned and carried out every detail for, without issue) over her own _daughter_ . How do they not see that what she did (or FAILED to do) shows _exactly_ what kind of demonic nature _really_ lurks inside of that woman? The question the court always asks is not, "Are they mentally ill." It is, "Did they know right from wrong" because you can have issues mentally and *still* know full well what you're doing is _beyond wrong_ - it's *evil* . Just like someone who is mentally ill can choose to do good. I hope they don't think she loves them either, because she had to have known it would hurt them if something happened to that baby. She'd starve them if she felt the need to just the same as the baby.

[@lolAnnMarie182]

@@karentucker2161 They showed up and spoke or wrote letters on behalf of the mother. They were def there sitting on the defenses side of the court. I get looking at things from all sides, we truly need more of that. I also think how most normal families would be horrified. Probably condemn the deplorable act their loved one committed while also saying they still love them. I’ve seen that in other cases but def not this one.

Thank you to the officers and medical examiners and court for being Jailyn's voice and family.

[@megansslore]

I, and I'm sure everyone who has watched this video, stand with Jailyn in that courtroom. Many of us would have jumped at the *privilege* of welcoming her into our families with love and warmth and the nourishment she needed and deserved. Crystal and the family who support her can rot. God may be forgiving, but I am not.

You got that right!

[@unknownhumanbeing7935]

I babysit my 17 month old granddaughter and if she isn't within my eyesight, I go look to see what she's doing. How can you expect a baby to survive alone for 11 days? Bury her under the jail.

I also thought she was flipping-off the camera, but if you look closer, it’s actually the string from her swimsuit hanging down.

[@algellish340]

how can you hear those horrific screams for days and not check? not call? how could you listen and do nothing for days?

[@LH-Oz]

Oh, this case hurts my heart so much! I currently have a 16 month old. I am a struggling single mother, struggling to pay rent, bills and buy food. But I would and WILL sacrifice anything and everything to look after my little one and love them dearly. This is so messed up and she deserves nothing less than what she received. Put her in solitary confinement for the first whole year, so she has to go through even a fraction of psychological trauma and abandonment that she put her child through.

[@alexiscarvalho7745]

I've written and deleted several comments. At the end of the day, there are no words to adequately express what I'm feeling and honestly, other viewers have said it much more eloquently than I ever could. What I can add is directed at Judge Sheehan: 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽. Thank you sir, for salvaging some modicum of justice for this sweet angel. ❤

I’ve seen this case come up in a lot of channels but I couldn’t bring myself to watch any of them. I just knew it would hit me deeply and I was right. Oh God bless that sweet child. I could cry just imagining her wanting to be loved and taken care of. No living being should ever be ignored or left to suffer, especially the helpless and innocent ones.

I normally have pretty thick skin when it comes to these cases… but this one… this one made me sick to my stomach and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the suffering that poor baby went through. Absolutely heartbreaking.

[@pl.mags.dub.]

I don't have baby myself but if I hear baby crying like that it always makes me feel uneasy. I called Garda (Irish police) on my neighbours to do check out because baby was crying for few hours. And it was right thing to do because baby was alone in the house. I don't care if people will call me "Karen" for putting my nose in someone's business. If i have a " bad feeling" about something I'll always react.

[@miriamiuricich6636]

Good for you. You saved that baby from a potential life threatening situation. You are not a “Karen”; you are a walking angel. Bless you.♥️
