Some people like to think they have some sinister "agenda", stopping what they see as "the truth about vaccines" or some other such malarkey, but then you see things like Rachael Oates having a video removed for "medical misinformation"; the video in question was specifically intended to DEBUNK medical misinformation, and anyone that had taken the time to actually review it would've understood that. In other words, almost anything that's not from a yuge media conglomerate, which might be "controversial" or trips up some algorithm, is at risk of demonetization or even removal in some cases.

Additionally if you didn't create or transform the intellectual property of someone else you don't deserve the income the video produces under law. I'm the first to point at skeezy corporations but in this instance KZbin is in the right. It's just 80% of the people on KZbin are under 18 so many creators correlate age restriction with being demonetized which is not how it works.

I watched them discover that one of the detainees was there bc she had almost beat her five year old daughter to death. The PO's just got her out in time. A group of nearly 20 females were watching her in the dorm at that moment wherever she went & someone had already "befriended" her to find she had no weapons and were only waiting to see if she were dumb enough to try and use the toilet before lights out. Some of the women there were only in waiting until they were placed upstate for a number of years, and a lot of them had kids. She got put in a dorm further away so it took about a day for that group to descend on her that night. And she wasn't on the news like this lady. Believe me, she will never be safe.

It’s always questionable to me how much of the SA is motivated by actual predatory desire and how much is motivated by a very particular type of same-gender based jealousy. Sometimes I think the female that perpetrates SA on a female child is actually “punishing” the child for being what they view as too flirtatious, attractive, etc. Like it is perhaps rooted in a deep seated twisted form of jealousy. It makes me think of the case of Elisa Izquierdo, one of the worst and saddest cases of parental filicide I’ve ever read. Her mother was partially motivated to assault her own child in that way because she thought she was essentially stealing her limelight and attention from the father. I’ve also always wondered if that’s what happened in the JonBenet Ramsay case. This woman may have been a neighbor and not her mother, but I believe her reasoning for the SA may have been similar.

It's so sad that it seems that her family and police did everything right. So many times in cases when a child is abducted, jurisdiction between police districts get in the way. Tracy police put that aside and still couldn't save her. Such an awful case, I hope her family and community are doing okay. RIP Sandra.

But sadly, neither of our wishes can make it so. I think the only thing we can really do is change the world to make it safe for children, and part of that is everyone learning to recognize dangerous mental disorder early enough to prevent their access to children and other potential victims.

Working in healthcare and behavioral health these types of "attention seeking behaviors" are often times reduced to just, attention. Often ignoring the level of attention behaviors danger level.

To ask for forgiveness while denying SA and just reality takes some seriously delusional balls… unbelievable. I’m with you babe wishing nothing but the worst for the guilty. I’m genuinely floored by her gross statement. Keeping family and friends of left devastated by the loss of a sweet little girl in my heart sending big love; may you become ok in a new way that includes the scare of this tragedy as simply a part of much larger whole heart able to live a whole beautiful life.

The image of Sandra skipping so happily, carefree and ready to play with her classmates and friends should be an image that makes anyone smile. When I first saw that video I had a big smile but then within seconds the video became daunting. Knowing how Beautiful Sandra’s day would end. My prayers and condolences go out to her family friends and classmates. I don’t think I’ll ever forget Sandra’s image skipping across the road

My daughter is 8 and we live in a apartment complex where everyone knows everyone and kids are always playing outside and I still won't let me daughter go out without me unless I'm at the window doing dishes and I can watch her from the kitchen. I'm glad I do that now. 😭 RIP Sandra

im from the area, this case really shook up the region, i still vividly remember them showing the porch cam footage of her EVERYWHERE. people were stuck trying to figure out if it looked like she was walking towards someone. when the truth came out not long after, it was devastating. i never realized it, but this was probably one of the modern-day cases that made people afraid to let their kids freely play out in the neighborhood. most of us know how common it was to just "be home by dark". that doesn't really happen anymore

I just want to correct a small inaccuracy in this video. The worker who discovered the suitcase did not open it. He was very aware of the missing girl and immediately called the police.

Unless you can come up w/a better system, it's the only systems there is. At least in the US, defendants are given the option of having their cases heard by a jury of their peers or by a judge. In most countries, defendant's cases are heard only by a judge and in many instances by tyrannical judges who make up their own rules as they go along.

mental health is such a weapon against humanity sometimes... and it's sad that people rather label eachother than to just actually investigate or invest in mental health. that little baby didn't have to go through such thing if the woman was to be treated for her issues. As someone who suffers several mental health disorders it pains me so much that even though some of us might have limbs, ability to move, or freedom, our minds can limit us to staying in one locked hell. I hope the family of Sandra is doing better and I pray for them.

I remember distinctly when this happened. I'm an EMT now but back then I was a teacher working with children. My coworkers and I had a really hard time with this one. We felt she should be given the death penalty personally. It was just difficult to see someone who was totally unassuming to do something so unspeakable and evil. It wasn't long before the Casey Anthony case and trial who got off scot-free and shouldn't have! Like I said my coworkers and I just had a really hard time with this and we tried to support each other during this time. I don't entirely understand and find it incredibly bizarre how she kept inserting herself into this investigation. I mean she could have gotten away with it, not that I wanted her to. The FBI profile was way off initially. I don't buy her statement for one second! Thank you for all you do on your channel! ❤️
