I'm from Croatia in Europe and there's been recently tragic death of a little girl. She died on Easter day. She had two and a half years and social workers took her from mother because she wasn't good. After mother gave birth two more babies with her new boyfriend she got her daughter back and they were worst parents ever. They molested her, and little girl died from lots of bruises and other wounds. They hit her hard with their feet until she passed out and got hospitalized. She was in bad condition for days and eventually passed out 😢😢😢. Social workers knew something was wrong with a relationship between mother and little girl. Even grandma talk to social workers and tell them that little girl shouldn't be with her mother but they disobey every sign! Little girl was bring back to a monster mom and lived in suffer. In the end she died. Only 2,5 years!😢😢😢 Whole country is NOW on legs but just to point out a blame to another. Here we got system that couldn't even be called that way. REST IN PEACE NIKOLL💔🐣

[@dreamscott5913]

Exactly!

[@helenamirian908]

Yep. I thought the big brother did it.

[@Muirmaiden]

@@AlbionRising Friends of Nicholas said that the problems got worse when Jason (who was actually a half-brother to Nicholas and several years older) moved in. Jason was a drug addict with a violent temper, and the mother, Beverly, was a heroin addict. They were both in recovery when Frederic (the fake Nicholas) came into their lives. Shortly before Jason's death, he was questioned by investigators, and he admitted that he knew Frederic was an imposter but he wasn't going to tell his family that. Hmm. Beverly refused to give a DNA sample when the authorities wanted further confirmation that Frederic wasn't Nicholas. I don't know if Carey knew anything about what actually happened to Nicholas but it does seem that she coached Frederic. The phone call Jason made seems to cement the theory that he had murdered Nicholas and was trying to make it seem that he was still alive.

[@Tw1zzl3rs]

When the con artist expresses concern about the family he's trying to con, that's when you know things are really messed up. That subtle "goodluck" to a total stranger you know nothing about whom you know is trying to con your family, and the con artist knows that you know, chilling. Spine chilling. I can't imagine a situation like that. That family definitely murdered that child and I think he's in the house. All the family lives there and evidence is only circumstantial so they'll never be able to obtain a warrant to that extent, they'd need some hard evidence to link the two first and the family covered their tracks. They created a catch 22 situation to protect a body. They should go undercover, pretend to be a dog walker, only the dog is a cadaver dog. Pretend it ran off it's leash onto their property. See where it goes.

[@arfived4]

The guy is a serial imposter, and seemingly lies to get attention. so it's entirely possible that he's making it all up to keep the spotlight on him following the case, plus he looks less bad if people think that the family was in on it. If I was trying to hush up a murder, the last thing that I would do is attact atention back to the case with a highly-publicised, and quite frankly, ridiculous hoax.

[@traudelbunbel132]

@@arfived4 i dont like the guy`s "work" either, but there are 2 things to consider in this case... a) he did this since he was a teen.. running away, pretending to be someone...looking for shelter... and Nicholas wasnt the only real kid missing he tried to impose... but it was the only time it worked... b) he isnt that kind of a media-b***h, he gave rare interviews(i think it was 2)...never wrote a book or anything(afaik).. and all the docus and movies and stuff werent his work.. so i dont think he told this story for money... and he never told any stories of any other possible incidents with other families or stuff... i think the family was trapped and unable to react "correct" due to their fear to handle the situation wrong when their "son" was found.. if u do someting u think about what can happen afterwards (sometimes maybe not after the crime itself..but u think at one point "what mistakes could i have made, what will the cops ask if they ask me...yada yada).. noone thought of a french guy with too much time + fantasy

They wanted to believe that their child had been found, was safe, and had come back to them, even though they knew deep down that it almost certainly wasn't true. As soon as they got the result of the test, they would have to accept that the whole thing was a lie, and return to the near-certainty that he was out there somewhere, most likely laying dead and undiscovered in some remote place, and that they would never really know what happened to him.

That very interesting. First I think you meant country. Do you honestly think that our wonderful country (that ironically has been run by a criminal) is the only place in the world to have a corrupt justice system? People never look at the big picture that is right in front of them. It's OUR fault! Yes the citizens. It starts with the creeps that WE the people vote into office. All the way down to the city levels. How ironic that is with the former president. If we want change, vote the right people in! Stop voting because of an R or D in front of them. No one is forced to vote for unfit person. I'm talking on everr level. Including the mayor's and judges. If you don't like it then do YOUR job as a citizen and vote in fair, uncorrupt politicians. Speak to your legislation!Look at us now! Trying to reelected a convicted conman. For the freaking 2nd time. You get what you ask for. IT STARTS WITH US!

It was deep into French countryside in the 80s and the house was isolated. The reason that story got so famous is because nothing ever happens there.

The first story is so confusing

[@christopherfeatherley]

From my understanding, basically, the step father abducted the children of his first wife, placed them into social services, yet kept one of the daughters. He basically kept traveling with her and giving new aliases; there's also suspicion he raped and abuse her, since thet did get married at one point--I think. The step daughter got pregnant twice, from two separate fathers, but kept the second son (Michael), which the step father (technically step grandfather) kidnapped from school and murdered, after he was denied custody as he wasn't the real father. I think the problem is how this video was told, as it kept going back and forth, so it was rather confusing.
