The thought of this little sweet baby sneaking out because she wanted to be grown up, but still taking her blanket absolutely shatters my heart.

To be fair, there is no evidence that she killed her, which is why she was not charged with murder. It's really weird how much people are trying to blame the actions of a p*do on a female he was friends with. Why not blame his mommy too?

[@phantom0456]

The fact that this child took her blanket with her when she snuck out is just heartbreaking… she just wanted to feel grown up and to be accepted by someone outside of her family. These two monsters deserve to rot for what they did to this little girl. I hope that her family can find some peace.

I wonder if David would consider his 50 year prison sentence a ‘Milestone Goal’ or ‘ultimately it’s not where he wanted to end up’ while he was working at ‘bettering himself’. His message to the court after his sentencing was so hollow. There was not one bit of remorse for taking her young life. Not one bit for her family. Disgusting people. I feel for that poor mother. I just can’t conceive of the horror that child went through and how perpetrators don’t have any capacity for empathy.

[@angelarice8418]

I can't imagine what it's like for a family to hear "I'm so sorry," from the murderer. I think it would make me that much more angry.

It's hard to believe so many kids get bullied-- does anyone ever step in? I think bullies depend on the idea that it's not just them but everybody else too, who considers their victim as worthless or stupid.

Leading children to death and young adults to think heinous actions are ok, as long as you don’t get caught. Such a tragedy

[@edwardzignot2681]

You know the idiot's gettin' caught when his computer is full of stuff like "How did this fictional character get away with his fictional crimes?"

[@toribern816]

This poor mom. Closure will never come unfortunately. Idk why people even talk about closure. You can never undo what’s happened. There is no closure. So sad. 💔

David lived across the hall from me at va tech when this happened. I had gone home for the weekend when I found out from my suitemates that he’d been arrested. I was surprised obviously, but I wasn’t exactly shocked that it was him. Since we live suite style, we left our doors open often on the hall so people would come and go to hang out. David came by a few times and I could tell that he always tried to appear confident and charismatic, but it just came off forced and awkward. He always gave me a creepy vibe. I also remember reading a release from police later down the line that he and his accomplice had met up and planned the attack at cook-out…and just before the murder, my friends and I actually saw him there with a girl. We don’t know for sure obviously if that’s the moment they had been planning, but I always get a chill down my spine looking back on it. Like if I had been nosey and eavesdropped…what would’ve been different??? Rest in peace sweet angel Nicole.

[@divinemichael256]

Once he said “you should be looking for a body and not the last person to meet her” I knew he had some part to Play in it. My condolence to family of the young girl

[@audreylytton3684]

Mike, thank you for doing a video on Nicole Lovell. When this happened here (yes I'm a local) it was absolutely heartbreaking 💔. Thank you again for all you do. ❤

[@Cousinbiddy1]

This is the mothers fault for being a single mom without a father figured into her daughters life to protect and serve , she wouldn’t have gotten killed , this is why u should never divorce ur husbands , this is why single moms are potentially damaged goods for this particular reason!

[@sunshinepatsoph4219]

no matter what you do to protect your loved ones. creeps will be lurking 24/7

[@legoqueen2445]

Very hard when children don't understand there's danger everywhere. My son would get angry at me for being protective and needing information on where he would be going out and who else would be there. He'd say I didn't trust his judgement. It was very hard for him to understand it wasn't him I didn't trust, it's every psycho and stupid kid that could hurt him in unfortunate events I didn't trust!

[@user-gj1me4mf5c]

Often, it's the loved ones that are the creeps.

[@boogsie87]

[@nhmooytis7058]

Social media should refuse to allow accounts for anyone under 18, and ban posting of photos of anyone under 18 by anyone. These kids are setting themselves up or being set up as targets of weirdos.

[@manuxx3543]

Too late for that, kids watchtime and attention fund the internet now

[@littleblackpistol]

Kids will lie they are 18, you would need to institute using ID to set up all accounts, which has various implications, and can also be faked, stolen and bought online fraudulently, and the sale of it by criminals would skyrocket if this happened. FB isn't supposed to have anyone under 13 on it, and kids used to set the accounts up anyway. What is needed is under 18s not having access to smartphones - they need a very limited phone with applications that do not allow access to social media. As long as kids roam around freely with smartphones, a cohort of them will land themselves in trouble by trying to hook up online. Parents need to be way more vigilant too, understand the internet and police the content vigorously. Kik is vile, but kids are contacted by dodgy people, including other minors with ill intent, on all platforms. People also need to teach their kids that trying to hook up online as a minor is like waving raw meat at a hungry dog. All they will attract is bad people. They need to show kids all the ways they get exploited online. They need to be utterly explicit about the dangers and the gross shit that will happen to them if they send nudes to what they think is a same-age boyfriend online, or whoever, or all the gross rapes and murders that have happened.4

[@makennaaking]

Kids would just easily find a way around any age verification, it isn’t as simple as you make it sound.

[@supastar25]

No solution is simple or perfect but you have to start somewhere...at the very least they should have official policies to require age verification for any of these social sites. The problem is in most countries in which they operate there's no legislation pushing for this. The whole landscape is the wild west.

[@manuxx3543]

It is stories like this that scare me for kids today. My granddaughter is only three, but that day will come when she is on the internet. Sadistic horrible people. I don’t understand what makes people go in this direction. Rest I. The arms of Jesus sweet girl. And bring comfort to her poor mom.

[@Krysta-xj6mk]

I love this channel, it’s very informative with a little tasteful humor added at times. I do wish when when anyone covers these types of cases and mention the mental health of accused/convicted individuals they would also point out that a person with mental illness is far more likely to have a violent act committed against them than they are to commit one themselves.

[@user-tk5nx7up1h]

This is so incredibly sad. I am truly sorry Nicole this happened to you. I honestly feel that kids, teenagers and others are in more danger on the internet than just walking around in the real world. RIP Nicole. 💔

[@lisahinton9682]

@@KarmicSalt UMM, no. Do you not realize someone can get pregnant after exactly ONE encounter? This autistic young man obviously knows that and freaked out that the child's paternity test could out him. He offed her before he even knew she was pregnant, simply on the chance she COULD be.

[@AstroNomical-fi2hc]

That's why I support pred catcher's channels, they make a huge difference saving children from this kind of monsters exposing them so communities can be aware of whos lurking around.

[@michaelmarlow6610]

I think the thing that makes true crime such a big genre is trying to understand the why. Why would they do this to such a sweet kid? Why are they like this? Why do they even exist? She was so young and so naive, this is the worst nightmare of every parent.

You just think you are "open" about everything. Teens are notorious for lying, manipulating and hiding things from parents.
