Yet again another instance of CPS removing a thriving child from a loving home to place him in a horrific place. This poor boy didn't just have a shot at life, he had it. He had everything he needed with two parents who loved him, and it was all senselessly ripped away from him by the two people who gave him life. Hug your loved ones tight. Have a safe weekend. ❤Drewby + Yergy Discord: discord.gg/kCCzjZM

@TheMiseryMachine The half time credit longer exists in Indiana. I work in DOC and the laws have very recently changed so that an inmate must serve at least 75% of their sentence instead of 50% It’s still not ideal but is a marked improvement.

Parents who say kids are “stealing” food are an immediate red flag to me.

[@kignfh59]

Now I know this has nothing to do with this video, but In a 1-20 person case that could mean their child has prader willie syndrome, where they cant stop eating because they never feel full and the children do eventually steal food, so the parents have to lock it up, so that the child doesn't over feed themselves and make their stomach burst or the child becoming overweight

[@KenZaracki]

For sure. My kids dont "steal food" its their food they sneak snacks when i tell them not to ruin their appetites especially my little girl she will is just a snacker she doesnt like to eat real meals just eats little snacks all day long and it bugs me but i just limit her snack intake and give her smaller more frequent meals. Doesnt really help all that much but shes healthy and strong so I don't worry too much im hoping its just a phase

Not always. I've had 9 kids and some kids will squirrel things away. I had a son who would hide bread for some unknown reason. He ate plenty. Only thing he took and never could come up with any reason for it.

I used to think that until my daughter was about 5. She would empty my pantry if I didn't keep it locked. Can goods, sugar, flour it didn't matter. All of my kids were well fed. She still, at 30, has a hiding place in a cabinet.

As soon as a child who is potty trained starts having accidents thats a major sign of abuse. That poor baby

[@JesseMarcum-bh2hk]

I will also throw this out there I was potty trained really early and could walk around just fine but when my parents had my little brother who's about 4yrs younger than me I went back to trying to be a baby and I definitely wasn't abused or anything though I was diagnosed with severe anxiety when I was 8 but honestly to this day idk what brought it on or whatever but I know that it wasn't really anything to do with my parents I honestly think it was school until I got way older and my parents got way overwhelmed with trying to work and some other stuff going on with my family everything was picture perfect until I was like 12ish... I do definitely however agree that it should be looked into and I as well have seen it absolutely be a very very bad sign and a sign of abuse but not always...

[@LuckyKat89TV]

People like you are ones who get children taken away from good parents and then hurt my CPS. That’s grossly untrue as regression with potty training is common and so our medical issues. Please shut up about things you don’t understand and quit making assumptions.

[@AmyLeeAngelLove]

Well, not necessarily. I was fully potty trained but hated using the big toilet because I was very tiny. I fell in once and that sealed it for me. I had "accidents" to avoid using the big toilet because I didn't want to fall in again. This was back in the 80s. It may be a sign of abuse for some children.. but not all.

[@JesseMarcum-bh2hk]

@@AmyLeeAngelLove lmao I had that same happen at a grocery store when I was little and it completely freaked me out...I mean honestly I still am small enough to swing my feet kinda on some toilets and I'm almost 40 lol!!! But your absolutely right and I really don't think having accidents is the best indicator of abuse bc there's so many other things that can cause it though I do think no matter what should probably be looked into or at least kept in the back of your mind especially if there's other things going on along with it!!! But great comment I kinda forgot about that lol I honestly just busted out laughing reading that...!!!

In NC, a little boy named Corey, was killed by his adoptive mother. His foster parents wanted to adopt him and his biological brother. They had cared for Corey and his brother since Corey's birth. Corey's brother was 8, Corey was 4. They were denied because the boys were black and the foster family was white. DCBS searched for a black family and when one was located, Corey and his brother were removed and placed with the adoptive family. The adoptive family were a military family. The father was deployed and the mother began abusing Corey's brother. Corey's brother told his teacher he was being hurt and DCBS took him out of the home. Corey was not abused, so he was left in the adoptive home. The adoptive mother immediately turned her violence on Corey and killed him by hitting him over the head with a computer keyboard. The foster family sued DCBS and won! There is now a law on the books in NC- Corey's Law- whereby if one child is removed from a home, ALL children are removed!

They apparently don’t ‘protect’ children that can’t protect themselves!” They are supposed to advocate for children in dangerous environments. They are supposed to make sure they are PROTECTED.

[@sadrabbit53]

This is an extra "feels bad man" case, especially for Gina I imagine, due to the knowledge that Judah likely died thinking that his foster mommy hated him enough to abandon him with the dastards who abused him to death.

[@tanyabrown9839]

nods I was thinking about that too, he must have been wondering what he did which was "so bad" for them to send him there and never come back.

[@athenarox]

The whole “stealing food” thing is something I will never understand.

[@oOIIIMIIIOo]

This is the common "Do you pay the bills in this house?" mindset, isn't it? I mean, it is common.

His TRUE MOTHER will never be rid of this pain and guilt. she was made to hand deliver her son to the devil. The cruelty in that is unreachable

[@annasharp5247]

Thank you for covering this story. I'm from laporte and I knew his Judahs dad growing up. He is a horrible person and this baby deserved so much better then what he got

I stopped being a foster parent when I took off my rose coloured glasses and realized the system is irreparably broken😢

[@Parrotgirl-tattoo]

I never had my own children & have thought about fostering. I just dont think i could stand having them taken away from me only to go back to abusive homes.

[@IndigoCave28]

It’s designed that way

[@CrossingJordan]

@@Parrotgirl-tattoo it’s a sick system. They remove children from homes they deem unsafe, place them in foster homes (sometimes worse than their biological homes), then after a few crossed Ts and dotted Is, put them BACK in that unsafe environment. It is heartbreaking.

[@lotuspocus76312]

What happend to Foster Homes from the government itself? That is 1 way to at least try to prevent abuse and m.rder. But I guess these "homes" have a bad name...therefore everybody seems to be allowed to foster.

[@MarkSentMe]

@@Parrotgirl-tattoo Become a foster parent. Children need you

[@casuallyceltic]

They need to stop prioritizing reunification. I get it, it'd be *wonderful* if all families could be unified and loving; I so want to believe that children are better off with their biological parents. But that's not the world we live in and it never will be. *Edit:* Her asking the detective for a hug is vile 💀

[@qq84]

"reunification" is just one of their excuses, they do that on purpose.

[@audnbob1]

I’ve never heard of anyone asking for a hug dying the authorities?! 😣

[@dreamiinotdream730]

Is it even reunification if the child doesn’t even recognize their biological parents? He’d been with a foster family since he was months old. That was his family, they gave him away to strangers.

[@suzannee6673]

Yep. "Parents'" rights trump common sense. These systems create life-long, detrimental disorders like RAD, all so junkie failures can keep hoarding children they don't even want. Children need to be viewed as individuals with specific developmental needs and NOT property!

If your a parent who’s struggling with you child it is a godsend to have another trusted person who loves the child unconditionally.

[@kellsatmosphere]

This is why I'm so scared of CPS. I hug my daughter every night and I make sure she's fed and happy everyday. They are supposed to be protecting these kids who don't get that and they couldn't give a F less.

[@johntaeowens1248]

Exactly

[@annjepsen1621]

My adopted sisters were sent back to their abusive bio Mom four times before finally taking her parental rigghts away. It was extremely hard on them to be tossed back and forth and each time they came back to us they were more traumatized than they were when they left.

[@kellsatmosphere]

@@annjepsen1621 i understand that completely. My step daughter is forced to go to her bio moms house for every other week. Even tho she didn't want to go because her mom forgets to feed her n stuff. So I'm constantly worried about what's gonna happen to her or if her mom is high or not. It wouldn't be so stressful if CPS could just do their job -______-

[@oOIIIMIIIOo]

In any way around, they take out kids from normal homes and put kids back into abusive homes. The world is upside-down.

[@PatriotafVenise]

You can’t steal food from your own home - especially at 4 years old 😢 saddest story

I’m from Indiana and the laws have recently changed. The day-for-day credit no longer exists. Inmates must now serve at least 75% of their sentence. It’s not ideal, but it’s a marked improvement.

The fact that people like this aren’t prevented from ever having children, especially after these horrific incidents and being unfit.

I was a poor single mom at 17. Money was tight as I was trying to get into college. I would forego meals to be sure my little one could have enough food to eat! NO CHILD STEALS FOOD IN THEIR OWN HOME!!!!!

I've noticed that watching you guys makes it a lot easier to listen to these cases. It's still absolutely heartbreaking, but when I listen to you guys talk I don't get as frustrated. Please keep talking about what the victims liked and spreading awareness ❤

[@fionakison4914]

The people who were in charge of placing this boy in that home should be charged! Some one needs to take responsibility. This is more than heartbreaking 💔

Swear it's the worst parents who always brag about what great parents they are. It's like they have to try to convince themselves.

[@KenZaracki]

Sounds like my cousins. They were addicts their entire adult lives, all had each kid removed by the state and still act like theyre the best parents in the world. I only had one biologically and hes ten but I wish i had as many kids as they did their childhoods are just too short for a guy who loves kids

[@mandakenziee]

[@waves2378]

My mom used to work in foster care (not CPS). One case she heard of was a boy placed with a foster family. Eventually, the foster parents noticed food going missing from the kitchen, and found it under the boy’s bed. They learned that his previous family (foster or biological, I can’t remember) were withholding food from him and subsequently starving him. So you know what his new parents did? They let him keep the food under his bed.

[@tiffanys.9098]

Thank u guys for always bringing awareness to these cases and showing compassion for the victims❤

[@patboyd1587]

What is the state doing about this useless agency?

[@thomson872]

Why don't judges and social workers care about how children feel?? Why can't these "experts" understand that removing a child from the only family they've ever known is terrifying??? Why can't they treat children as human beings instead of property???

[@voidofastora6032]

Depending upon The severity of the case I think plea agreement should be outlawed especially in the case of children.

A classic case of CPS taking kids from loving homes and just giving them to monsters

How sad, he was so precious.

Ty sooo much for finally covering the case of Judah!!! Another horrid thing is that, in this small area..we also had another child death only months before Judah, Mercedes Lain. Our community was shocked, devastated, in pain and morning the loss of these 2 gorgeous souls. Im also glad Laporte got the case instead of starke ( where it happened )!

[@LordVlax]

In what world do people believe that removing a child from a loving home with the people the child recognize as his parents (biological or not) to place the child in some place with people he would not know, is good idea? And to put the child with a couple of abusive junkheads... Alan action where completely despicable and he wasnt even remorseful, he didnt deserve no plea deal... Again, another case of Child Protection Services failing another child. Bravo! Everytime people see you as being completely useless... And, again, no one was to blame and no one faced consequences. At least something came of it...

[@dianawagner8542]

I don't think that any child protection agency should be permitted immunity, it seems to me that maybe if these people were held accountable there would be less children dying.

[@marksoldier4640]

Since a few days after escaping my abusers, It was nailed into my head that it's NOT considered stealing because i lived there and needed food.
