Her Own Parents Neglected Her For Over A Decade | Lacey Fletcher

Hi guys, today’s case is one of the hardest and saddest types for me to discuss as it involves the horrific treatment of someone’s child. I hope Lacey can now rest in peace, and gets justice for the brutal way she was left to die.
I have also been made aware that the term Asperger's syndrome is technically no longer a diagnosis on its own. It is now part of a broader category called autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I apologise if I offended anyone that was not my intention. 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching ❤️
Besitos xx

[@ZaraV]

Hey Brittany! Thank you so much for your kind comment. Means a lot to me - the last thing I would ever want to do is hurt anyone especially a victim. I’m always open to learning and growing. Kind people like you are what makes the world go round! Lots of love to you and your son ♥️♥️♥️

[@brittanylashe2540]

@@ZaraV I believe people forget that our “Autism Parent,” or other titles are not everyone’s experience. As an advocate for the community it is well known that abled individuals may not be aware of the plight of the disabled. The community goal should be to lead, teach and protect, anything less is a disservice of advocacy. Be well!

I don't wish ill on the youtuber but your son being autistic doesn't mean you get to speak for OUR community. Autistic people get to speak for autistic people. You don't get to decide what is and isn't okay. I assume this is in reference to 4:00 where she uses the nazi term Aspergers. Telling her it is a nazi term is what people SHOULD do. That is educating people on how to be an ally to us autistic people. (like also using the term "autistic people" instead of "people with autism", since that is preferred by the majority of us)

Something tugs me about those parents. It feels like they were abusing her in secret and then it amplified somehow and so they kept her home. She may have copied by closing in entirely and basically becoming a shell. I really think they directly caused absolutely everything.

[@Tesko91]

I was thinking the same, this goes far beyond neglect, they must have hated their child to treat her that way. Sadly the full extent of their abuse will probably never be revealed. Truly heartbreaking and disgusting. I hope they get life without parole.

[@chiaroscuroamore]

I 100% agree. There has to have been some sort of parental abuse happening and it escalated and they kept her at home to hide it Her parents are 100% responsible Also why was she only wearing a tshirt with her breasts exposed? That makes me wonder if there was some sort of humiliation or sexual abuse happening

They have no excuse for this. I worked at a nursing home previously and we had a woman who was too much for her parents to care for. She was extremely disabled. We took great care of her and they came to see her often. There are places that can provide care when you can't anymore. There are so many resources!!!

[@MadyLeeMoore]

When I was a CNA we had to turn/adjust people every 2 hours who were bed ridden or had limited mobility - even at night. It didn't matter how big the patient was. If the patient was with it mentally I had to explain how important it was for me to move them and convince them to let me roll them over. The only time we stopped doing this was when they were elderly and literally hours from dying. It is so important to move people! That poor woman.

[@Nostalgic_1]

As a retired charge nurse of 30+ years ~ you sound like the type of CNA that I would have been proud to have working on my team!

[@OnMyFeet82]

I've worked in care homes and it's vital to turn those that are bedridden every couple of hours. It's important to let those know, who have capacity, that you're moving them so they don't get sores. I've seen sores on the elderly that couldn't be prevented as they were very old, but we still got nurses round to dress the wounds and apply creams.

[@kristyparlor7849]

Thank you again and I will do my best to reach out and let you know updates when they do go to trial. #justiceforlacey

[@chiaroscuroamore]

I wonder if something abusive happened to Lacey around the time she started homeschooling? And that whatever happened is why the parents didn’t want her going to school?

[@giapaul7973]

That’s possible. It could of made her anxiety worse. I don’t think any signs of abuse were ever found, just medical neglect. A lot of medical conditions get worse or more noticeable when you become a teen. Some conditions start showing symptoms at around that time as well. We may never know what really happened since no one saw her during that time. Only her parents know and theirs not really any evidence that can say if it’s the truth or not

[@couragebuff5060]

As some one who has auto immune diseases and physical limitations because of them, I can't imagine being truly trapped in my body. I spend a lot of emotion on already feeling trapped because I can't do the things I use to be able to do, but to be truly trapped and fully conscience is a waking nightmare. This poor woman's story taught me to be more grateful for what I can still do. RIP Lacey 🙏 😢

[@Nostalgic_1]

I'm in the same situation as you are and I agree with you! It's depressing, yes, but I see and hear about people in far worse situations than I am in. Those things make me realize that I could be far worse off. However, autoimmune diseases definitely needs to see some advances in the medical treatment for them. Everything a specialist has prescribed for me does virtually nothing to help improve my symptoms and/or my quality of life. The fatigue is the worst as it keeps me from doing even minor things for enjoyment even if I could push myself through the pain to do them. Unfortunately, long haul Covid sufferers have symptoms that sound suspiciously like an autoimmune disease so, maybe, research for that will help to benefit the millions of autoimmune disease sufferers too.

[@kathryn6092]

Considering the fact that she survived for that long, it’s impossible for her to have had locked-in syndrome. If she could only move her eyes, she wouldn’t have been able to eat. Her body could never go on for 12 years without food. People who are locked-in have to be fed via a feeding tube. It’s much more likely that she had such severe anxiety and agoraphobia due to her autism that she literally shut down and couldn’t make herself move. She must have been dealing with unimaginable trauma. This story is absolutely unforgivable. How could any parent leave their child to suffer like that for so long?! It makes me sick.

[@kiei8083]

That sounds more logical

[@somber087]

She clearly lost her mind as no one was there to love and care for her, was bullied and she only had her two parents at home.

[@blessedbeauty3989]

As a parent, or even a human being with a heart and a conscience, I can't even begin to imagine how the hell they let her to get to that state. It seems like one day they both just got sick of caring for her and did as little as possible to keep her alive but still went on to live their own normal lives. I used to work in the medical field and I've seen some bad bed sores, I can't imagine the pain she went through. If they didn't want to care for her, they should have admitted her to a hospital or care facility where she would have been taken care of. Obviously since they had previously taken her to the doctor when she was younger, this isn't a case of religious beliefs (where people refuse to seek out medical intervention) so it's baffling to me.

Just a side note: I believe (I could be wrong) the term Asperger 's is being phased out as the doctor, Asperger, who named the syndrome did unethical experiments on young children. Saying lower end of the autistic spectrum may be more PC?

[@ZaraV]

Yes I was thinking about this! I filmed this video a while back but when I was editing I googled it and it basically said Asperger’s still falls under the term ASD but you would need to clarify “without intellectual or language impairment” - but I do have a family member with “Asperger’s” and he told me it’s ok to use the term here and there as it’s being phased out! But thanks for your comment - super helpful to be informed ♥️

[@JaggedBird]

I'm on the spectrum myself and never minded the phrase, but I understand why it's being removed due to its origins. That said, I s'pose South Park's insensitive joke saw that one coming in the episode Assburgers (aka you're Getting Old part 2). The line in question? "Of course not! If there was a social development disease, you wouldn't call it Asperger's (pronounced as assburgers)! That's just, that's just mean!" It's a surprise as despite their animation style let's them stay on a topic's timing better than other adult animations, it's still a shock all the same. The line went from distasteful joke to Simpsons style prediction. Fair play, Stone and Parker...well played.

[@giapaul7973]

I have read somewhere that Lacy’s parents at one point saw a doctor without Lacy saying that she was to nervous to leave the house. The doctor told them to bring Lacy in but they never did. I have a feeling that they couldn’t kill her directly so they just chose to slowly kill her by neglecting her. I think the reason why people didn’t question anything was because since they were well known in the community and since they didn’t seem like anything was wrong they had no reason to suspect

[@Charmolution]

Here's my conception of what happened based on what I've heard: -Lacey is born with autism, but nevertheless has a relatively normal childhood. -Going into high school, she begins feeling disconnected from her peers and develops SAD, asking to be removed from public school. -Her parents never get her treatment for her SAD, on the basis that she was satisfied living a solitary life away from others, and with the hope that she might "grow out of it" -Around the age of 25, her couch adventure begins and they set up a toilet for her in the living room and begin bringing meals to her on the couch. At this point, they've accepted that things aren't going to change, and rationalize their neglect on the basis that she's an adult and can make her own decisions. -Twelve years later, perhaps some incident occurs, or they just grow fed up with their daughter, maybe thinking they're getting too old to care for her, they tell her she needs to leave the couch and start taking care of herself. They stop feeding her and cleaning up after her, reasoning that if she wants food or to use the bathroom, these things are accessible to her, she just needs to leave the couch. -Lacey is either unwilling or unable to leave the couch, resulting in her eating the stuffing and wasting away in her own filth. -She dies, and due to her parents waiting for her to "stop being stubborn" and leave of her own accord, they fail to notice for 1 or 2 days. -They call 911 to report her dead, believing they have done nothing wrong.

[@mango_pop1904]

Yes it did take time to have them arrested but the DA and Sheriff wanted everything clear and not a single thing out of place so it could be presented to the grand jury.

I don’t believe they lived with her full time , how could they without getting sick. Human waste, maggots rodents etc will cause diseases and make you very Ill like it played a part in her death that’s why I find it hard to believe they started. With being able to pay bond at that price tells me they could easily afford to be elsewhere. I mean the smell could be on their clothes too with rodent waste, even insects and rodents move on to find space. So many pieces to the puzzle missing. Would like to see a documentary for on it.

This case just tears me apart, yes numerically she was an adult, but neurologically she was stuck as a child who needed love and an advocate! These were 2 FUNCTIONING PEOPLE, all they had to do years ago is call an ambulance so she could get care and be treated like a human being. These parents were indifferent to her suffering. I read they lived elsewhere and only stopped by occasionally because of the flies, maggots, rodents and stench. I mean your paralyzed sick child is melting into the couch and you can’t even have compassion to take care of her severe medical needs professionally? They deserve to rot, this child needed them, instead she got a couch. Mental Illness needs delicately treated yes, but the first step is protecting her so she doesn’t get to this degree if severe, inhumane shape, just like my grandfather with dementia when he was doing strange things we let it go a few days to see if he wasn’t dealing with losing my grandmother or if he needed help and he did, it was so hard admitting our once strapping grandfather was spiraling but as a family we talked, he fought us, but his mental and emotional health were more important than the pushback he gave us. Sometimes people neurologically are going thru something you can’t even begin to comprehend, usually it’s extreme fear, and fear of the unknown of admitting they need help, but if you see something off, DO SOMETHING! Even if your guess is wrong check up on the people you love, heck even on your neighbors that may have no one. 😢

Yeah that’s what I find strange! If everyone knew each other I’m sure they knew she had a daughter? Especially since the parents never mentioned she moved away? Thanks for your comment and support lovey ❤️

Ok so great vid but . Your explanation of Asperger syndrome is categorically wrong . Asperger syndrome is autism not separated as you are saying speaking with multiple doctors your explanation is wrong . I speak from experience as both my sons are autistic. Every autistic child is different with their capabilities .

Hello! Yes I agree I used the incorrect word/explanation. I did update the description to correct my mistake - and I am thankful for you guys who have corrected me in the comments and as I stated below - I was completely unaware that the word “Asperger’s” was no longer used, as I have a family member on the autism spectrum and he still refers to his condition as “Asperger’s”. Also here in Australia I still hear that term, so wonder if it’s also being phased out here? It probably is and is totally my mistake. I’ll be sure to keep this in mind for future terms used in videos. Thank you for your comment, I’m sorry if I caused any offence, it is never my intention! 🙏🏻♥️

She was probably nonverbal so of course she didn't complain. Some of their comments and the fact that they had stuff for near the couch makes it sound like the expected her to take care of herself. Clearly she was long past be capable and I don't doubt that their neglect caused most of the problem.

ZERO EXCUSES for the LACK of care that they failed to provide for their child. However, caregiver fatigue is very real but, at the point where a caregiver feels like they can no longer provide adequate care for their loved one, it's time to find alternative care for them. Whether it's having home care providers and respite care to assist you in your home or by placing them in a reputable long-term care center and going to visit them there. I am wondering if they were receiving a disability check on her behalf and they knew that they would no longer receive it if she were placed in a facility? One thing is certain, they clearly neglected even her basic needs in a criminal manner and they deserve to be held accountable for that. I hope that this precious girl is resting in peace. Seeing her photos as a young girl is absolutely heartbreaking. 💔 She looks like a happy and carefree little girl without a worry in the world and knowing what she would go through in the last years, days and hours of her life is particularly horrific to think about.

I feel like she didn’t complain bc she couldn’t. If that’s even true. She might not have been able to speak. She might not have been able to form sentences. It could have been from malnutrition, it could have been from a disease. Whatever it was from, I believe that if she wasn’t complaining, it was bc she couldn’t. Not bc she didn’t want to or that she wasn’t in discomfort or pain or just repulsed by her living conditions. This case is absolutely appalling and disgusting and heartbreaking. I was in disbelief when I first heard of this case. As a parent, HOW COULD YOU LET YOUR CHILD SUFFER LIKE THAT? Because make NO MISTAKE, that woman SUFFERED HORRENDOUSLY. So freaking sad. Ugh.

this should be 1st degree (capital ) murder, because it was prolonged, they knew, that living like this is deadly, neglecting a person, / allowing them to live like Lacey did, has deadly consequences,, it was a years long slow torture. very methodic , i do support death penalty, how ever i don want her parents to get the death penalty, i want them to to get life without parole in a high level prison, in gen-pop. they will spend their life suffering the way they deserve.

[@beckyh8041]

This is beyond disgusting and disturbing! I can’t imagine the suffering she went through!! It hurts my heart so much to hear such neglect 😔
