"The cops didn't do shit. They chalked it up to Johnny being a run away" Yep, sounds about right. In the early 90s we lived in a nice neighborhood. One day my mom was watering the plants & the neighbor girl 2 houses down was playing outside by herself. A green stationwagon pulls up & the guy starts talking to the neighbor girl. Mom jumps into action. Yells at the guy & grabs the girl & runs into her house to her parents. Guy peels off. Mom calls the cops, & gives them the license plate etc. Nothing ever came of it. Mom calls her mother later on & tells her about the ordeal. My Gran then tells my mom "Why would you do that? Why would you get involved? It's none of your business." Who did my Gran work for? The county sheriff. Lost A LOT of respect for my Gran after hearing about that.

Otherwise they'd pick up someone who's from a shitty neighborhood, or are an actual runaway. Corruption comes from various levels and in various forms. So for all your gram knew, anyone she worked with could be in on the human trafficking. That's how corruption works. Infect the system, and strike fear in the hearts of the just in order to keep them in line. Your mom's a hero for sure. But your gran isn't necessarily a villain for probably being scared.

So clearly, just a menace to society lol. The worst "trouble" I got in was being driven home by a cop because I was walking home at 3 AM. But my mother is an alcoholic narcissist. My rich step famoly wanted to send me to Elan as a black-haired teen with ptsd from monstrous sex abuse is apparently too embarrassing for their high-society lives. Had I been sent to one of those places, I wouldn't be alive today. I know that in my heart. I dealt with heroin addiction (8 years clean next March) and still have ptsd and clinical depression. Sweeping kids that have suffered at the hands of (mostly) adults they trusted to a place to be abused further...yeah....I'm not surprised most of the alumni are addicts, imprisoned, or dead. I just finished giving a victim impact statement because some prick was found with...certain materials...containing me. I've known most my life it was out there. It pops up occasionally. Knowing that monster is spending his life in a prison as a p3d0phile makes my heart lift. He's already in his 60s and he recieved 80 years.

It took me so long to get over my fear of police that there are a few times I should have called them but just avoided it at all costs. Thankfully the place I live now has the best freaking police. They are very kind and empathetic, and they were able to send caseworkers with them most of the times I called, if not immediately they managed to at some point.

[@ConclusiveConfusion]

Note for the first doc... I have two theories for why they pulled that heel turn at the end: 1: People who suffer abuse often try to rationalize their abuse as having a 'meaning', a 'purpose'. Speaking from personal experience, because it's easier to have a 'silver lining or positive outcome of the abuse' to point to rather than the callous reality that cruelty doesn't need a reason and it doesn't have a silver lining. Especially for kids, they can rationalize the experience as being something 'worth experiencing even if it was painful' because that idea provides a very twisted sense of solace and hope. I.E "Sure my dad beat me but it taught me discipline." or "Yeah I got screamed at a lot but only because I was being bad, without it I would still be bad." It's important to remember that kids are not working with a fully grown brain nor the necessary context in most cases to fully understand what is being done to them let alone that it is the abuser's fault, not theirs. Even after they grow into adults those early experiences remain and often override more introspective or honest looks at both the abuse and the abuser leading to strange defenses for their abusers or contradicting views. You might have someone absolutely agree that something like paddling kids needs to be made illegal but then turn around and insist that the paddling they got as a kid wasn't as harmful or traumatizing. It is just one human taking their aggression or insecurities out on another because they have the power to do so of course. But that realization can be devastating to an already traumatized child because it strips their person-hood from the equation, they're forced to recognize that their abuser (often a care giver) doesn't see them as a person but merely an object or job, something to be dealt with or something they can break/use as they please. 2: Theory two is just they wanted to sound 'balanced' least their work be called one sided. I hope this is not the case because this theory would be a stupid reason to soft ball a 'school' that doesn't deserve the kid glove treatment.

[@walkingexistentaldread3079]

a good example of your first theory is that one scene from Bojack Horseman. “Because if I don’t, that means that all the damage I got isn’t good damage, it’s just damage. i have gotten nothing out of it, and all those years i was miserable was for nothing.”

They would restrain you by pulling your arms down behind your head. Had both of my shoulder blades snapped that way. A staff member had me climb a tree because I was scared of hieghts. I got up towards the top and fell. Landed on my chest with my legs doing a scorpion over my back. I couldn't walk. He picked me up and took me inside. He said "don't say anything, and I'll make sure you're ok". He would bring me pain medicine that would fuck me up. But my back didn't hurt very much. He just didn't want to lose his job.

It is one thing to be a child who makes horrible decisions. It is another thing altogether to be a 27-year-old man and keep making decisions that put your family at risk. The final straw was learning he was "involved" with a woman who lived 2 hours away from us and was out on bond for planning a mass shooting. Boundaries had been crossed too many times. I bought a gun, learned to shoot (I am REALLY good now), and said goodbye. I finally accepted it is okay to love him as my son, but really dislike the man he has become.

[@Falconer22]

GG, I really appreciate that you make jokes about the viewing experience instead of the material. I've seen some other KZbinrs try to make jokes while reacting to the events in whatever true crime thing they're watching and it is so distateful. You do an excellent job at being serious but also light hearted

Very good point. There’s a huge portion of the true crime community that seems completely out of touch with the reality of what they’re talking about

[@m.k4447]

!! I feel the exact same way. So many of them talk about these horrific events in the most infuriating, light hearted tone. It’s vindicating to hear someone discuss these documentaries in a light hearted way, while also knowing when to stop and have respect for the victims.

[@mrsmaggiekoch]

As someone with an older brother that reminds me of Paris (threatened my life, age inappropriate behavior, started small fires in the backyard, hurt some small animals, threw knives at my door while I was in my room, ect.) some moms will do ANYTHING but admit their kid has a problem. And I feel empathy towards the moms because you don't want to see your child as a monster. But when SOMEONE ELSE is put in danger, including your other children, it's time to stop deneying.

[@TaraSmallss]

I'm a recovering heroin addict, I did it for like 15 years. That first documentary really really made me sad. I know the hell, and the despair they must feel. If you're reading this, and you're struggling, just know that there is hope, and you're not alone. I've known about Vera's case for a long time, And it's fucking infuriating that everyone failed her.

[@kellifavazza8021]

I can tell you that the police in Iowa are pretty much still the same as they were in the 80s. The father of my children went to live with his dad in Davenport Iowa in 2014 and 2 months later he was killed, shot 4 times in the chest and once in the abdomen. No one was charged with his murder, it didn't even seem like they investigated or talked to anyone.and 6 months later his father that he went to live with was found dead near tbe Mississippi River. He was a fisherman his whole life, he would have never drowned and his keys and wallet were taken out of his pants and left on a rock outside the water. And no his family doesn't think he killed himself. He had 5 other kids with him in Iowa and the circumstances were all very weird. And again, no real investigation, no real suspects connected to it. So it has been 9 years and we still have no answers. It makes no sense and it's infuriating. Our two children who were only 4 and 5 at the time have to grow up not even knowing their father and not knowing why he was taken away. It's not fair

[@RisingRevengeance]

I can kind of see why didn't investigate his father that thoroughly even though they should've, I mean he did lose his child. But a presumably young(?) guy like your partner who's new to the area randomly getting shot should've been taken incredibly seriously. Either way I'm very sorry for your loss and hope I didn't come off too dismissive.

[@dalerimoller272]

I feel sick thinking of that poor girl, Vera. What a horrific life of terror and pain. In a way, her death- getting murdered, is the only way she could escape because so many people failed to protect or save her. That’s the most bleak but honest outlook on a person’s life… to say that getting murdered put her out of her man made misery. 😫😔😭 Rest In Peace Vera Jo.

[@mich3421]

So heartbreaking, I had to pause but had to keep going to hear Vera story. Her story needs to be told loud and clear.

[@SomeRandomJackAss]

The worst part is that they couldn't even do that right and just left her to die. Even getting put out of her misery was tortuous and humiliating for her.

[@empressmarowynn]

This is part of why I've never been scared of fictional horror media even as a little kid. Real life humans are capable of so many more horrific things. When people talk about some of the scariest and most disturbing horror media the monsters depicted are always humans.

That poor, poor girl and that wicked, abusive manipulator 🤬🤬🤬 What the eff is wrong with these "families" and my lawd, WTAF were the police playing at? So, so much wrong with the whole story, my brain is struggling to comprehend it?! Wow😢😢😢

[@noahmorgan13]

There were kids who escaped Elan. 3, I believe, who all died the same night they escaped. I remember the story of one girl that escaped and tried to hitchhike to the nearest town, got picked up by a trucker, and he raped, murdered, and abandoned her on the side of the road near the "school". Another boy escaped, made it to a neighborhood and was shot after banging on a residence door begging for help. Those kids couldn't leave because the fear of the outside as much as the fear of the inside.

[@CallofFreaky]

I fucking knew instantly what her fate would be when you said hitchhike. I just can’t understand it. A lot of serial killers are truckers too

[@SalemSomniate]

God, those first two in particular were absolutely heartbreaking. I'm not American, so I never heard about the troubled teen industry until MrJoeNobody started doing his comic on the Elan school. I haven't finished reading it yet. Don't know if I ever will. It's just... so difficult to imagine what those victims went through, and how they must have felt. I've dealt with abuse, but nothing anywhere near that scale, and learning about Elan disgusted me to my very core. The entire industry still does. I feel so sorry for anyone who had the misfortune to be taken to one of those places.

[@MM-jf1me]

It's horrific that these places are still legally allowed to operate -- yet more evidence that America doesn't value its children.

I’ve got a story to tell that relates to this video, when you made a video talking about Dear Zachary I just had to watch it. I broke down multiple times during it, so I had to get my dad to watch it. I could count on one hand how many times he cried in the past 21 years of my life. After watching dear Zachary, he was more of a mess than I was, the man is otherwise the biggest stone wall I know. to this day I think Dear Zachary is the most powerful doc I’ve ever watched. An incredible story I have GG to thank for showing people like me

[@sunbleachedangel]

[@abbywatson8133]

Dear Zachary got me fucked up. I did no research before hand and went in raw. I don't think I'd watch it again, even to show someone else. Absolutely devastating.

[@lacountess]

If someone held a gun to my head and told me to either watch Dear Zachary or A Serbian Film, I’ll choose the later. At least I’d know it’s not real and just a bunch of actors acting. 😰

[@KlutzyNinjaKitty]

There’s also a book from Zachary’s grandpa, David Bagby, that provides more details about the case, the aftermath, and how he and his wife were coping with the loss of their son and grandson. It’s called “Dance with the Devil: A Memoir of Murder and Loss.” There’s even an audiobook version if you’re interested. Idk, something about this case just stuck with me so I picked up the book immediately after.

[@chocomelo454]

I know a lot of people refuse to say what dear zachary is about because spoilers but I show me, I won't be able to watch it if it's as disturbing as people say so can someone quickly say what it's abt?

[@hayleyrosexox]

My stomach churned hearing Vera’s story, It still hurts me to my soul knowing there are many many people out there like the monsters that abused poor Vera 😔 I cant even fathom it sometimes. Hearing stories like Vera’s I have to stop myself sometimes from thinking about it too much or I would just spiral, especially having children and also suffering from domestic abuse😔

[@kaijuteeth]

i got curious so i looked into goodnight sugar bear before watching this video and god, its SO much worse than gg was able to get into, he was not joking. that poor poor woman, Vera wanted to escape repeated S abuse but died cold, naked, in pain and not able to be the best mother she could be. I hope all of that family rots with the way they were talking about her and what they did. Vera Jo deserved so much better, the neighbors who tried to get police involved and even *save* the kids while they were growing up must feel some guilt or defeat about what happened in that home. it makes me so fucking sick Cheri got a slap on the wrist for being a murderer and p*dophile (as young as TODDLERS mind you. i do not want to think about what she wouldve done to baby willadean or what they couldve done to her in the time span.) Cheri was so much worse than described, she had 5 children removed from her care because of what she did especially to her one year old, the one she had with her cousin. Abuse can create abusers, but im so sick about what she did.

Love this series. I enjoy your humor but when the time calls for seriousness, you also deliver in a way that is just as engaging. I immensely respect your restraint in not trying to overcompensate with an overabundance of silliness to counteract the disturbing nature of these films (documentaries like Just Melvin, Just Evil, for example, deserve nothing but the utmost consideration and sensitivity given how absolutely sordid the subject matter is, and you gave us that in the last installment). Again, great work GG. You're one of my favorite youtubers for a reason.

Nothing will ever beat "Dear Zachary." I think it's because it was so well done and if you go into it without knowing much, it punches you right in the gut. You could walk into a room full of people and just say "Dear Zachary" and everyone who has seen it will have some kind of reaction. "Oh no! That was SO sad. I cried for a week!" Something like that is the general response.

I can not imagine how much worse these places were before the internet and when adults were much more willing to blindly trust a supposed authority figure, no matter what.

[@chocomelo454]

Those places gotta be shut down fr kids are sensitive they can't handle the chaos of an inpatient. What kids need is stability.

I find most of the documentaries I've seen come in three flavors: absolutely disturbing, frustrating, or a bitter blend of the two. The only one that I can think of that didn't leave me feeling worse after was Dave Not Coming Back, just because of the love on display from the people involved in the events. It was very sad to say the least, but not something that made me feel helpless afterward. Highly recommend that one. It's about the death of a diver and the efforts to retrieve his body from an incredibly dangerous diving location. (I should note, this isn't a recommendation for GG's disturbing docs series, just for people in general. It's not disturbing in the same way these docs are.)

“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil. Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
