[@TiffWaffles]

I noticed that this stepmum never says anything nice about Takoda when the detective asks her to talk about him. Normally, a parent (and she was in the role of one) would have a lot to say about their child, no matter the behavioural problems the child reportedly had. She'd be talking about his likes, his hobbies, the sports he played or liked, the toys he loved... the funny things he'd say. But no, the first thing this woman mentions is how dad was in a custody battle and then describing how difficult Takoda was for her and her partner. He would have had a personality completely separate from his bad behaviour. Not once was any of this mentioned. She could have just said that he was intelligent even despite his difficulties with school, but there was none of that. Even in death, this woman felt the need to put him down.

[@IttyBritt0829]

In her mind, she was trying to make the detective see how difficult he was. An excuse on why he might be homeschooled, marks on his body, or whatever bad things happened to him. It was not even on her radar that the detective was asking about Takoda and not her excuses. Then she tries her best to distance herself from him. "I don't see him". "I don't see his body". She is 100% full of crap. Every word she said. She is not bright in the slightest.

A big problem with home schooling is that only the parents have to attend meetings with officials, not their kids. Any child being home schooled should by law be required to meet with officials at least 3 - 4 times a year to ensure they're not being kept home as a form of abuse or to hide abuse.

[@antheairenedevilliers1657]

She homeschooled him? What a joke

[@leslieknapp8985]

Her lack of emotion is bizarre. 8 years of being the child's mother and she could care less that he is abruptly passed. 💔 KarMa is watching her and waiting for the right opportunity.

A high school graduate teaching a child at home should be against the law. People think they know more than they do, and high school education is a bare minimum to function in this society. So many red flags. This child died because of so many failures.

[@MattHelmSA]

I know people who function quite well without a diploma. A buddy of mine didn't finish the 11th grade and makes upwards of $160,000 a year with the internet

So someone with learning difficulties and who is “not all there” is in charge of homeschooling a kid?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I question whether home schooling is about helping children or an excuse for isolation and bullying by parents. There are some children that benefit from homeschooling but it is getting questionable.

[@greydovegardens7688]

I would suggest having the state enact laws where homeschool children are registered with the state and monitored (annual required checkups with a pediatrician, testing, etc). As a homeschooling mom, I wouldn't have a problem with that. However, I am certain that abusers would not comply and move from state to state to avoid detection. Even if there were laws against homeschooling, there still would be these sickos that hold children captive and isolated in their homes. My children went on to college. One got her degree in Architecture and the other one is a senior majoring in piano performance. Homeschooling doesn't necessarily mean being undereducated or unsocialized.

[@tamarinbush6613]

I hate the idea of homeschooling. My ex sister in law homeschooled my nephew and surprise he couldn’t read or write when he was 12. Seriously how did no one see? And she left Alaska where they were living to WV, but obviously she never registered him and still somehow didn’t lose custody of him.

[@emilinebelle7811]

You guys sound super uninformed and ignorant. And shame on you “greydovegardens” for being a homeschooling part and letting rare cases like this to cause you to think the government is the best entity to control how parents teach their children. This case is a rare occurrence. You guys sounds so ignorant

[@joycewright5386]

@@tamarinbush6613I have met many public school kids who are barely literate. Home schooling is much better.

[@Bingowingznig]

If a parent has had CPS called on them & then suddenly “homeschools” their kid-they should be investigated and the living conditions should be examined on a regular surprise basis -huge red flag

[@kimwhitehead9096]

The answer is yes. You need a lawyer.

[@Yosetime]

It's just scary and sad to see how many parents are being charged with such terrible things. If this happened even 20 years ago the entire world would be outraged. Now it seems like it's just so normalized we see similar cases every week it seems like. Nobody has any morals anymore. It's just a terrible society to live in in the US. It's like the US has separated itself from the rest of the developed world and just given up entirely.

[@moonman2022]

Don't lose hope. Things are getting better, not worse, despite all appearances to the contrary. Those contrary appearances are due to the Age of Information that we now live in, being flooded with true crime 24/7. Twenty years ago, this would have flown under the radar completely.

[@mitchelline]

I am outraged from all the way in Sweden. Don't worry, the world isn't as sinister as it appears

[@bluedragonfly8139]

Lol, nah, the 'entire world' wouldn't have 'been outraged' because they very likely wouldn't have known about it. Y'all forget that the internet and KZbin didn't always exist in their current forms.

Your absolutely right. Cps should hAve been there for those kids.

@@moonman2022you’re 100% correct. This shizz went on ALL the time.

[@mtnvlifestyles]

She starts off saying she was out running errands and when she got back police were everywhere and al said the kid was unresponsive and he had to call the ambulance... and then says her errands were going to the dollar store around the corner to grab him a drink..... so maaaaybe 10 minutes to do that? Ok.. her whole demeanor screams guilty from the starts. That sound of shame in her voice

[@CopWifeCopMom]

This case bothers me more than any other I have ever come across. It will give you nightmares. 😢 That poor young boy was tortured only for their evil sinister fun.

[@jennydiver100]

They fight for custody of these children they have no intention of taking care of. We need to find a way to monitor these homeschooled children. This cannot keep happening.

[@jeanbeans7926]

I agree, it's horrendous and despicable that it persists. They want the money the disabled child brings in probably.

Why are all these parents and step parents killing their kids and step kids? What is going wrong with people? I hope it just seems worse because of the internet because if it actually is happening more often nowadays, then we’re in serious trouble as a society. Poor child.😢

The increasing godlessness tells us life originates from pond scum, there’s no value to a child unless it’s wanted, that our happiness and what WE want is always the most important thing, and that God doesn’t exist.
