[@KateElizabeth1013]

While this whole story is shocking, the fact that an 18 year old girl who is 8 months pregnant and homeless is in such a desperate position that she meets up with a stranger off Craigslist to have sex in some random ass park in the middle of the night for just $50 is absolutely heartbreaking..

[@phantagirlable]

She said she needed money for gas and "mess". That probably was code for meth, which explains her desperate, reckless behavior (and that of her boyfriend).

[@Taelyr]

So true. Why couldn’t she just live with her mom? She was barely 18, her mom seemed like she didn’t get involved in her daughter’s personal life at all. Idk, I’m best friends with my mom and I couldn’t imagine her letting me live on the streets pregnant and a teenager. I’m not saying this was her fault at all, but I do believe her mom let her down.

[@androgynylunacy]

Yea, her mom let her down. Her mom was clearly emotionally absent. I thought that too I would never let my pregnant daughter be on the street. It is dangerous out there. That shows a lack of care and concern. And she was basically still a child, if you ask me. Like wtff. And I bet the mom doesn't lose one wink of sleep at night knowing she allowed her pregnant teenage daughter to be out on the streets. No sense of "it was partly my fault" in any way.

[@Taelyr]

@@androgynylunacy couldn’t have said it better!

[@totallyjaded1658]

I’m sure narrator said that they couldn’t meet at their place.prob the mothers house if she already had the nursery ready. Can’t have a paying customer come over so you sell yourself can you. Not sure how mother is ‘clearly’ emotionally absent?

I actually started crying when I heard Deb talking at the end. The devastation and suffering she faces is almost impossible to grasp. Pain continues and so does grief, but I hope she also continues to heal at the same time. Many thanks to her for continuing to share her daughter’s story.

[@stefanib.4283]

The fact that EWU is able to add humor to their videos while also respecting the victims and families and delivering accurate information is wonderful. The cases are so sad that its nice to have a script and narration that has personality. This case is especially heartbreaking and I hope the mother continues to heal from her loss

[@abelis644]

"True Crime Loser" (Scott) and "Reporting from my Sofa" (Paul) also bring in levity to their work while being very respectful of the victim's. I always wonder how they manage to do that!

I almost lost it whenever EWU called out Brady’s [twisted gross self] with that deeply serious voice, talking about some… “A casually dressed Brady, in what appears to be boxers and a tank top, scratches himself as he appears to be thinking of how to approach his task… “And then its back to more scratching!”😂 It’s rather refreshing to catch some EWU humor every once in awhile, it makes for a nice little “doom break” during the telling of these really tragic events… thank you much sir!

[@nunyabidnazz2311]

To all the people asking why Brooke was homeless if her Mom, Deb “cared so much.” Deb made a nursery for her unborn granddaughter! I’m willing to bet that she asked more than once for Brooke to come live with her & leave that loser Charlie. When women are in abusive relationships, the abusers completely control them. Brooke probably wanted to move in with her Mother, but Charlie had too strong of a grasp on her! Don’t just assume that Deb didn’t offer Brooke a place to live!! How about instead of that, we empathize and understand that Deb is tormented & grieving! How about we have some compassion and understand that we don’t know everything!! I’m so saddened by some of these comments. 🤦🏾‍♀️ 😢Im so sorry that not only did Deb lose her Daughter & Granddaughter, but now she’s seeing cruel comments from strangers who feel that they have the right to assume things & judge her based on their assumptions!! Sickening!

Idk how to explain this but. The part about him squeezing hands too hard when he was greeting someone? I’ve had that happen before and it was such a creepy feeling.. I was bartending and someone I was waiting on introduced himself and offered his hand so I shook it and he hurt me he squeezed so hard. I acted like nothing happened but he had a smirk on his face like he knew he did it. Creepiest feeling ever.

[@phantagirlable]

Yeah, that's a way to exert violence that is not regarded as violence and they know it. Some men also like to do that to other men to demonstrate dominance but a guy doing this to a woman is extra creepy.

[@maironoakley4299]

That comment resounded with me too. It is definitely a thing that creepy guys do. A dominance thing. It is gross and scary.

[@Bootbitch]

I’ve unfortunately I too have had the same experience. There’s a big difference between a nice firm handshake and one that’s way too hard and meant to hurt. Those type of people make me feel very uneasy.

[@mischr13]

A lot of guys do that as some sort of dominance thing, it's so pathetic. It's like they heard of a "good, strong handshake" and go way overboard and performative. No one is impressed by getting their hand squished lol. We should phase out handshakes anyways. I don't wanna touch a strangers hands. who knows where it's been??

[@andiward7068]

Without consent, it's cruelty and criminal. With consent, it's providing a safe space to be vulnerable. The physical acts are part of a psychological and physiological experience rather than an end unto themselves. Safe word(s) revoke consent, which makes the "sub" ultimately in control as they can make it stop. Doms know and push but ultimately respect limits. Abusers don't.

[@minxironwood]

​​@@andiward7068sadly the fine line between the two is the worst part with me. I'm a sub myself and have been in wayyyyyy too many situations and relationships where it was just abuse. A lot of people seem to think being a Dom, means doing whatever you want with full control while the sub just deals with it....which is not okay.

Is THAT what you call teenage hijinks? I can tell you don't have kids otherwise you'd ask why and how she got to that point. And no her mother never requested to a welfare check nor any other legal means to get this under control before she ended up advertising sex on Craigslist. She did not finish highschool and got pregnant at 17 by an abusive manipulated 25y/o man whom she'd been sleeping with since 15. Talk to me about where her mother was during her teen years and the statutory rape charge filed against Charlie. No? Cause there was none. Soooo at 15 she had no control whatsoever? You cannot be that dense. And "...no control over what they become when they are adults"????? SHE WASN'T AN ADULT. Did you miss that? All this was done to a very misguided, lost, drug addicted, codependent, low self esteemed pregnant teen girl. If she was 30 and this happened no one would care if she was hooking in a park pregnant and on drugs at midnight with Charlie. And yeah he'd done this before with her. It was not the first time he had her do that for money.

You would be surprised how many parents are not like that with their children. I have had friends that have been in bad spots and stuff and their parents kick them out actually. When I was 18 I had to have a friend move in with me and my family, because my parents didn’t want her to be homeless after her parents kicked her out because they found a little bit of weed.

[@KackieJennedy]

What I truly can't fathom is the fact that these kids had seemingly normal parents with homes of their own and yet, their kids opted to live their lives in uncertainty, poverty and crime. Why? I'd rather live with my parents (as I did) until I put my ducks in a row than hooking up with some trash people, couch-surfing, and being ass broke+begging strangers for money. Kids, stay on your ass, educate yourselves, get a job, and THEN move out and find your ways. ☹️

[@HeyCutie90]

I think there’s likely a lot left out of the story for the sake of giving the victims dignity. I understand this, but I also can’t fathom putting myself in a situation like this. I did some reckless things in my teens and early 20’s, but this is incredibly high risk behavior. No one deserves what happened to these kids, but I feel most for her unborn child who never had a chance. The parents failed her before she was ever allowed to grow up and make her own mistakes. Such a tragic case.

[@laceyjade9834]

This case is extremely chilling, in more ways than 1. I always said they will make a documentary on my ex. When they do, it will mirror this to a T. He currently on a measly 3yr prison bid for “attempted felonious assault”after beating a woman unconscious who then escaped naked from his home. During his court case 26 police reports were unearthed showing the pattern of ab*se & t*rture. Yet since this was his “first” offense on paper (thanks to his ties with law enforcement) he was given a slap on the wrist. We’re hopeful the investigation brings more charges so he can’t ever hurt anyone ever again. However, it’s soul shattering to see how many “men” like this exist & stay under the radar being allowed to wreak havoc. They never seem to take victims seriously who still have a pulse. It’s maddening. I feel so bad for her mom. Idk what their dynamic was but my mom tried so hard to get me to leave my ex. I couldn’t see what was happening until I too almost lost my life. I’d be willing to bet this poor girl was in the same boat. I hope her & her baby girl are watching over Deb 💕
