Crime Beat: “Make Him Breathe” | S6 E3

[@arcticgoddess]

Horrific child serial predator serial killers go to jail for 10 years in Canada, yet a woman with no history of hurting a kid gets thrown in jail for 14 years. No civil injury money for destroying lives. The Canadian legal system is the shame of a country.

[@samlsd9711]

I agree truly disturbing.

[@desireefarrell1314]

I do not think that was right or fair to not let her go to sick kids with her child . She wasnt being charged at that point . Let her be with her little boy he needed her !

[@joannemcguire7632]

@desireefarrell1314 You literally said what I was thinking.. I agree that it was not fair or good practice, the Police where wrong not to allow her be with Kenneth her baby boy when he needed his Mama. But she should have been with her boy , even under monitoring. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 Seems to me a lot of miscarriage of justices were done.

[@katherine9109]

​​not letting a mother be with her baby - who's not breathing!!! - is just PART of the REAL evil in this series of horribly tragic events.

[@asahel980]

Look at the police view sometimes, its a suspicious incident regardless they dont have hard evidence you wont let someone who might harm the boy get closer and finish the job. I wouldnt mind to look cruel as long as im doing my job. and the risk is still there , are you willing to risk it? besides what could she do? what doctors cannot?

[@jennpacsai2519]

"Feeling like you're being picked apart by vultures while you're still alive" i felt her comment through my heart, i remember being a single mother of 2 under the age of 1 and how exhausting that was alone. I couldn't imagine going through what she has. I just want to hug her, she couldnt grieve properly nor be there for her son kenneth when he needed her the most, broke my heart💔

[@Ezzaroonie]

That "...and Kenneth" at the end was absolutely perfect! 😂

Tammy My heart goes out to you. Your pain is etched on your face. Your mom was wrong. You are beautiful inside and out.

[@myshellee]

I hope she can keep a relationship going with her sons. I hope they bless her with some grandchildren and she can witness their childhood as she was robbed of her sons. Im glad addiction is behind her. And most of all I'm so so sorry that she lost 14 years of her life at the hands of our justice and medical system here in Canada

[@verityowens9638]

Sometimes fear makes you freeze .Happened to me ,my son fell over in the water and my feet wouldnt move i could only jump up and down and scream.My husband pulled him out .I couldnt get off the spot.

[@jennpacsai2519]

Sorry this happened to you, my mother had the same happen when her husband stopped breathing eating dinner, she froze and ambulance didn't get to him til it was too late

[@RehabSAl-Yasmin]

It's deeply heartbreaking that this mother lost her child and was imprisoned for 14 years. Apologies can’t make up for the years she lost behind bars. That doctor should be held accountable and experience the same hardship she endured. What a flawed system.

[@shannonmundy1684]

No way she had CPR training but was too upset to administer it to save her baby?? Hospital corners choked him?? She heard mommy and Mom and still can't get to him in time to stop him from choking on the hospital cornered sheets??? This is an obvious crime

[@manusha1349]

I don't like hearing about children dying without any explanation. Every single pediatrician I've ever heard on the subject agrees that 2-year olds don't die from SIDS. They're far too big and cognitively aware not to be able to extricate themselves from bedding. He could have suffered an epileptic seizure, but then wouldn't have been able to shout "mommy". So what happened? RIP little Kenneth ❤

[@carenlook7902]

That woman killed her son. That is what happened. Society hates the idea that a woman a (mother) plus white woman can be a killer. So even when she is punished they have to back track and show her in the light of wrongly accused. Wrongly convicted. Idk if she was mad about the dad having a new baby or she was just tiered. But ahe killed that little boy. It's clear as day.

[@serbear1328]

You do know that sudden death syndrome can in fact happen in all stages of life? Even adults.

[@manusha1349]

@serbear1328 not based on any medical evidence I've heard. And I practiced as a defence attorney for 15 years.

[@karinhaland-kinnapel9219]

OMG, what a terrible tragedy. I feel so sorry for this poor mother, my heart bleeds for her....

[@shortandcut]

This is heartbreaking.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

Charles smith should have been sued for the damages that he caused these people. As a Doctor he’s supposed to take an oath to first do no harm. He destroyed these people and their families and the ripple effect it has on so many more. Expert testimony in all court cases should be backed up by much more than one person. As a university student we were always told we needed a minimum of ten different opinions to present an argument in a paper. When we are talking about people’s lives we should be even more cautious.

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

Unfathomable😮 A very strong lady! ❤️‍🩹💐 Rip 🕊️ Kenneth

[@sparker3090]

What a tragic story.🥲🥲🥲 My god, poor Tammy, so much was taken from her & destroyed. Having just lost her little boy was enough, the devastation of that alone would crush a mother forever but what followed was a nightmare that should never have happened. All the while she is innocent and grieving 😢 I’m so sorry for her, I hope she and her boys become close now & make up for the yrs they all lost, it’s so unfair. Wishing them all nothing but peace & happiness for their futures, together again. 🩵💜💙xxx

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great coverage

[@VicCarrelli]

This exact thing happened to me when I was 6 years old (I'm in my mid 40's now) and I was staying with my Nan who made beds exactly the same way, by tucking the sheets in all the way around the mattress. I can still remember it like it was yesterday and some how I had managed to turn myself all the way around and my head was at the bottom of the bed with no way out and I was screaming my head of, my Nan came rushing in and managed to get me out, after what seemed like forever, but my gosh she was so angry with me she was shaking and screaming at me, something I had never, ever seen from her before. How any one can blame this poor Momma for something I've personally experienced is horrendous!

[@SherryinAB]

Heartbreaking story, iam sorry that it took so long for you to be cleared of any and all wrongdoing. I am happy that your son reached out to you and you are able to get to know him, pls walk with your head held high and enjoy your time with him. So glad you have the earring and continue to hold it close . ❤

[@canadianrobot]

Tammy if you ever come across this. I'm sorry. Kenneth always 💙🙏

[@gorelash9056]

Let me preface this by saying that I don't believe anyone shoud be in prison without sufficient evidence that they committed a crime. There doesn't appear to be enough evidence to convict here, but I'm still left wondering how a suffocating child could have kept saying "mummy" and "mum". It's my understanding that you can't speak when you're struggling even to breathe. Just wondering.

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

[@KM-sv5qd]

Tammy I met you once. I believe it was 2010 in October October 2009 and October 2010 I was at Queen’s Park and on for two years straight. I helped with a handful of people to fight an advocate for ombudsman oversight over Ontario’s CAS. I burned out and couldn’t do it anymore. There’s a lot more to the story but I’ll just leave it be that I was also a recent research assistant for powerful is called children’s aid Society’s that one Commfest award. You’re a very strong woman I don’t know how you did what you did 14 years for something that you didn’t even do specially, to your child it’s beautiful to see you with one of your sons. I hope your other son and you have a relationship today I’ve had my struggles in life, but that is a compared to what you’re struggling is like us minus I’ve been different I can’t minimize my own, but not like yours I just can’t believe the strength and yes, resilience in you I’ve been told for years how resilient I am in and wow Yoon-su so much as well as you know of your sons losing their mom and your poor little baby boy dying you know what a monstrous group of people that should be in prison themselves. I remember also that I want to see the name we know who he is I believe it was $4.3 million one man received, and he did around the same time as you, and then capped the amount of money that one could receive in your situation in a number of other peoples. How very unfair! Then, again, I bet you’d rather go back in time and just be a mom. CAS feels a lot far far too much in several ways. When’s it gonna change? No one will do anything about it. Please know I’m on Facebook under Kelly Mackin. It’s under Kelly Mackin I’m blonde. My current cover photo is a T-shirt with my son’s name on it and a ribbon with different words in it because my son has And then incurable type of brain cancer. I to am a recovering addict. If you ever need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out and just know that I value confidentiality. It’s very very important to me me every moment of the rest of your life, be peaceful, as peaceful as possible, because you’ve been through so much, some of us wrong with snow struggled in ways that others don’t. ❤️🙏💐 I’m also in Durham region. There’s a reason why I can’t say publicly where I can put my life in jeopardy. Stay strong, Stay brave and stay YOU!

[@ohwell94]

This was one of the reasons I never put a top sheet on my daughters bed..she being a special needs child who was a very restless sleeper I was terrified this exact thing would happen

[@chuckbeedle1983]

[@fauna3989]

What a hard life. I couldn't imagine. 💔

[@regineuhe6657]

Whatever mistakes the pathologist made in other cases, that little boy still died of asphyxia and her story is still bs, none of it makes sense and she has adjusted a lot to what she learned over time. She still admitted she heard him say "mom" while she was already in the room trying to free him from the blankets, yet right after this he's unconscious and his color is "wrong". When ambulance arrived his brain had been without oxigen long enough for him to be in a coma. So how could he talk to her? Her description of the whole situation doesn't fly as an epileptic seizure at all either, remember, she said at first he sounded playful, not alarming, muffled but calm. And how do you need minutes to get a small child out of the blankets? Minutes! Thats ridiculous. Watch the seconds tick on your watch and try to imagine this timeline of minutes getting a suffocating child out of simple bed sheets. When dispatchers try to explain how to do CPR, she tells them she can't do it because she's crying? This interview with her is so full of red flags, she's totally absorbed with herself, her person, her story. But if you heard that timeline and story tomorrow, about another child, another mother or father with that kind of backstory - you'd be outraged if police didn't investigate thoroughly. I understand she plays the "indigent" card but I doubt that had anything to do with it. Even from another background, good girl from good family, good money, good house, good husband and picket fence, this case still would have smelled and looked bad, because it just does!

[@mariawestman9026]

Meika Jordan , a case of a girl only 6 yo was told by this channel four years ago. She died by tourture. It’s impossible to write a comment bc the channel has inactive the field. The mother was devastated ! I don’t blame her or her boyfriend” . The parents of Meika had split up and had started new relationships with children. The state/court system has ordered them 50% each custody. As a mother myself I have the feeling that if the full truth about my daughters all injuries and damage to her body (both the old and the new ones) hasn’t been addressed BEFORE this day at court is a big/huge failure of the state/system 🤬 I don’t know why Meika Jordan never told her mother about this abuse or how she was able to handle the hurt or how to hide all bruises/scratches or bleeding (broken bones ribs toes fingers) Idk because I saw no written details. I am in a great shock right now !!! So was Meikas mother !!! And mark my words .. - will NOT BLAME THE MOTHER for anything her daughter had to go through. I don’t know anything about this children / parents / adults so I am not a Judge. Only a mother of two boys and stepmother to my husbands 5 children since their birth mother suddenly died in a car accident. All children get bruises scratches and some bleeding 🩸 among childhood. I choose to bathe them every evening (my way to have them talk about their life/day , our own special time and 3 kids fits in a bathtub) There is NO WAY one of them could have been hidden bruises or broken bones to me or the siblings. It’s totally unimaginable !!! Poor mother and poor little brother !!! He should’ve trusted his mother and started to speak up to her what he knew. I hope this family was able to get help and support from this tragedy. To be healed. The boy was so afraid of his own father who tourture his sister so I really hope that the state/court finds a way to promise him that he doesn’t have to see his father as long as he lives. Crazy world we are living in. 🤬 Sweden 👵🏻🌟🇸🇪

[@SirJaymesDAudelée]

Attorney Gen thinks that a few sentences are sufficient for his part-even while acknowledging that he is already aware that such words are weightless in the face of what they put her through. Amends and apologies are two very different things. Sorry is what you say when you accidentally bump into someone. Not when your corrupt process has cost them 14 years behind bars. Where are our human values anymore. Certainly not in the government, if they ever were. No. They never were.

This is so devastating. I had a cot death which i believe may have been prevented but the doctors wouldn't listen to my concerns. As it was my next 2 sons had the same problems but i had good doctors. Many operations but they both live. Oldest now 41 younger just turned 31. If i had been treated like this😔 so not ok. Even though i know i did no wrong ive always questioned did i do enough. The good doctors say no and if it weren't for me 2 cot death problems they weren't aware of wouldn't have come to light as early as they did. Im so sorry for what they and their families went through.

[@valeriemcelree4427]

I thinkthat first judgement for being indigenous is far too prevalent in Canada, also the first judgement for not being as smart as others is so damaging to women especially. It is heartbreaking and really disgusting. We need to fix that.. people like Charles Smith are so dangerous . thank God the truth was exposed. The grieving mother should absolutely have been compensated, it was wrong.

I am sorry but I do not agree with her recollection of the events. Firstly, IF he had epilepsy, he would not be talking at all and would not wind up a sheet (which every parent knows not to put in a crib with a child). His seizures were probably caused by fevers that were unable to be broken - this happens with young children. As for Charles Smith, although he was a terrible choice for Child Pathologist, he wasn't always wrong - at least he took responsibility albeit after he was proven inadequate. Even if her story was accurate, she should have been charged with child neglect causing death or manslaughter. I wish her the best with her lucky second chance. I have experience with epilepsy and am a mother. This was a travesty all around. In the future, please spend more time on the actual victims of these crimes Crime Beat. RIP Baby Kenneth 😥💔🙏 Addendum - no tattoo for her dead son? Just tattoo for herself? Had more children? Drugs? Come on!

So it’s called fitted sheets… you don’t fold flat sheets and make corners for babies and kids obviously cause they are bc it stable like that. Also kids sleep in cribs or kids beds. Prime example why you don’t sleep in same bed as children as it increases risk of SIDS. Very tragic and feel very sorry for mom and child but not very careful parenting.
