Madeline Soto case: New police interviews with Jennifer Soto after Florida teen's disappearance

[@Liz_H9319]

If your boyfriend is spending the night he should be sleeping with you, not your daughter. She should be facing child endangerment charges at the very least.

[@jaggirl]

I agree. At the bare minimum.

[@novembershanghai]

I feel like she needs to be facing waaaay more than that..... there's no way he took all those disgusting photos and mom was just oblivious?! WHY was he allowed that much alone time with her underage daughter? 🤬

[@Loveandlight445]

This is what my own mother was in fear of when the police contacted her about my stepfather S,A me every night from age 4 to 11. She was thinking only of herself and being held accountable. I dropped it because of her. They both passed away a few yrs ago before their time, but maybe that was Gods punishment..Maddie's mother needs to be held accountable as much as that creep. I've cried many years for Maddie. I'm so sorry that you had a mother that only cared about what her sick boyfriend wanted. 😢

[@erickahernandez3023]

Not only that but she as the mom send her up to that room with that man even tho she had her own room, this woman needs to be charged and put away for life for permitting another human being that happens to be her partner, to harm her child…

The restraint of this officer is commendable.

Who can tell the truth while under the influence of drugs for anxiety, sleepiness, stress, nighttime meds!

Seriously , she trusted a man who had been gone for a while and no longer in a relationship to sleep with her 13 year old daughter! This is such a lie , she offered her up for abuse , and any parent would know if you send a grown man to bed with your 12 year old this would occur. Proof was over 1700 photos of him having sex with her daughter, sorry she KNEW! Lock her up !

Surely, the DA isn't waiting to offer her a deal in exchange for her testimony against SS. With all the overwhelming evidence found on his phone I would think her testimony against him wouldn't be necessary. She should be arrested and charged accordingly.

[@basicallyno1722]

They may need more evidence to feel like they can seal the conviction. Don’t want to risk double jeapardy if more evidence presents itself in the coming year or 2. Florida waited 9 years to secure the conviction against that Adelson dude for murdering his brother in law

Stephan didn’t have a job but was able to afford things, how? I feel like Jenn allowed her boyfriend to do horrific things to her daughter on camera to sell on that app he was always on.

For everyone mad at the police....It's the District Attorney/Prosecutors Office who have the ultimate say. I fully believe LE did make a case against Jenn, but when they presented it to the D.A., it was turned down (probably b/c the State didn't feel it was strong enough to win....*YET). I still have some hope that she will be charged with something...just "Not at this time". The other scenario would be the States using her as a witness in Stephen Sterns case, but I think that would be extremely stupid. They have mountains and mountains and mountains against Sterns. He will be convicted. They don't need over-medicated, lying Jenn to get that conviction!

She hated her daughter, it’s pretty obvious. She was a blond white blue eyes girl with whole life ahead of her.

She doesn’t use Maddie’s name, she even planned her bday party in a way not to be present. What other mother would do that? “Sent” them upstairs like what does it even mean? One could “ask” them or “suggest”. But even so… right after her bday, when the girl probably had a lot to say about her day, her her gifts, her guests, her emotions, had pics to show and all of that, she was not interested in hearing any of that.. just “send” them upstairs coz she is tired? wtf Jenn?
