Mom wearing those goddamn sunglasses and swiveling in that chair during the whole trial… I could scream

[@karenlazzara]

Don't forget the little smirk on her face too.

[@lbpalexcool1]

Sad part is Mom didn’t jump up when Michael kicked Victoria, but jumped up big time when he took Mom’s phone, phone is more important than her children 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Some people need to get their tubs tied

[@JenniLynnD]

She didn’t even jump up over the phone, she “acted” like she was going to and instead of giving a fuck about ANYTHING just laid there antagonizing the teenager. The ONLY time she gets up is when he is trying to grab his shoes because he said he is going to climb out his window.

[@anythingforselenas806]

Omg 😩😭😭

She got a hysterectomy, def long over due!

[@michpratt1]

[@theresagarcia4892]

Why the heck did this woman keep having children? The problem here is totally irresponsible adults! SMH.

[@Keziah32]

Look how mother swivels back and forth in her chair. She is unable to be self aware

[@rhianabrooke]

That house did not take just a few days to get that way.....

[@user-pn6uk1ki9q]

Mom thinks being in court is like a zoom meeting. Hoody, sunglasses, swiveling her chair, checking her cell…

[@North_West1]

The teen does have concerns that need to be addressed. He was begging to call the relative…he recognized he was losing his temper. Calling the relative to get him out of overwhelming situation was a coping skill. He was trying to use his coping skill… However, mom blaming everything on teen is delusional!!! You are an adult take some responsibility. This isn’t an a temporary issue caused by mom’s recent illness. Dad needs to take reasonability too, he was also living in home and was aware of situation. Dad having a surveillance camera inside house to watch what was happen. Tells me he knew the concerns but choice to leave kids in that situation.

[@OnTropolis]

Dad did take responsibility. He's under a service plan as well. But he's got the kids and is hopefully doing well with mom out for now while the rest of the family can get some healing done. I agree about the oldest boy..he escalated because the adult who should have been helping him regulate just triggered him more. Very sad

[@texasproud8822]

Who knows if the 6 & 4 year olds really have issues or if their behavior was caused by living conditions. Thankfully there won’t be anymore children because these children need help.

[@shebaspurling605]

This is probably the only way he could get his children. If he had just left the crazy mom would have got custody and he would have been fighting for years to get them.

[@phyllistaylor5634]

[@loosie5224]

Yes! And she always shuts down Mr Brooks ridiculous thoughts ! She is an atty who goes above and beyond for the children !

[@rhanBo]

The way the mom keeps rocking herself back and forth with attitude tells me everything. She is willing to throw her son under the bus rather than look at what SHE is doing wrong as a parent.

[@andie2439]

What scares me about her is exactly what happened in the case of Shanda Vander Ark, she tried to blame her older son for the abuse SHE ordered the other son to do to her youngest, and the poor little boy died of malnutrition. All during her trial she did everything she could to shift blame to her son. He basically responded to that with, 'i just wanted her to love me. ' ... Now he has to live with the guilt AND has to deal with the fact that his mother did this to him and then tried to let him take the blame. Ugh.

[@harmonyfox]

Brooks just rolled with the mom blaming this poor young man for all the issues instead of recognizing she needs to learn how to parent him! We don’t just abandon our kids when they’re struggling.

[@hollies5841]

Why does it never occur to these parents that continuing to have children when you cant cope with the existing ones is grossly irresponsible? These poor kids, (including the 14 year old). They deserve so much better. He clearly needs help managing his feelings but mum completely threw him under the bus. I cant help thinking that will just cause more damage to him.

[@debbiesteffen448]

Yes yes yes, if your three year old is struggling and you can’t deal then stop reproducing 😢

[@mindymouse6849]

The mom only got up AFTER her phone was taken by the child. She didnt react to her baby being kicked in the head.

Did mom's lawyer just call 14 year old a vicious dog?

[@loosie5224]

The PICC Line: Periphereally Inserted Central Catheter. My husband had a PICC Line due to an infection that he got while he was in hospital receiving chemo treatments. The very first thing the nurse who trained us on how to care for it was : It must be sanitary, no germs, don't have kids touching the area, don't have pets around . I would never have considered having him care for our 3 kids alone while he had the PICC Line. No excuse for this. She uses her older kids as caregivers for those kids. I do not believe this only happens because she has a recent medical condition. It seems that this family had CPS involvement for quite a while!

[@rhondadines3287]

I pray that these children are placed in at least a clean environment. Immediately !!! Mom is a shell not a whole lot going on in there.

[@amberreschke9241]

I sat down to watch this video. Saw how dirty that home is and got off my buns. I'll listen to the rest while doing dishes. Children deserve a clean space. I have two neurodivergent daughters that make constant messes so I know how overwhelming things can get, but before it gets THAT bad, ask for help, please!

[@loosie5224]

And she thought it was a good idea to throw 3 dogs into the mix. ! She shouldn't be caring for kids or pets!

[@MrsBees]

Mom not reacting at all to him kicking his sibling killed me. She didn't even check to see if the child was injured. What a lazy, despicable woman. The fact that she doesn't understand that locks on all doors and windows is a huge fire concern is really scary. Everyone is very lucky that pigsty didn't light up.

[@SheaShea71]

[@Syndilouwho]

I have a port. I have to keep everything as clean as possible and sterilize everything before I access it daily. That is a bad situation. On a separate note, I came from a family of 7 kids (1 with Autism) but never lived in this kind of chaos. Our home was 2100 sq ft and we still never had a room so trashed or misbehaved.

[@amanda_215]

She looks like Herman Goering at Nuremberg at the end of this video with those sunglasses on, rocking back and forth

[@Delulutrain]

I’m minutes in, am I seeing this correct where mom didn’t even flinch when that poor little girl was booted?! I didn’t see the blanket move 😮

[@Delulutrain]

Just saw your same exact thoughts pop up with not one person reacting

[@Delulutrain]

Also, if mom feels as though the oldest is the issue, problem child, etc, maybe she shouldn’t have gone on to have SIX more children! Maybe if she put more attention, time and love in to Michael rather than being pregnant his entire life, maybe things would look different. Moms the problem 🤯🤬

[@heyitsMD]

@@DelulutrainI’m sure the oldest has been taking care of his younger siblings most of his life too. Not getting enough attention and having to grow up fast would make any kid resentful

[@marciamartin5559]

[@Fishfood94]

She needs a court order TO STOP HAVING KIDS BECAUSE SHE CANT HANDLE HER OWN LIFE

[@DeviceAnathema]

That's not a thing and shouldn't be. That's called eugenics.

@DeviceAnathema that's not at all what eugenics is. Nobody is trying to "improve the gene pool" just stop people from continuing to have children to hurt and abandon

Mom’s infection is from a post hysterectomy abdominal infection. Permanently sterilized.

[@annelewis7531]

I've never commented before as this is your system, not mine. But today I'm sitting here with my blood boiling. I have MS and have 3 children, 2 with autism. My youngest two children have never known a fully functioning mother. When I had my really bad days, my husband helped out. We have never blamed our autistic children for having meltdowns. We, just tried to find ways to avoid the situation and stimulation that triggered these behaviours.

[@debbiesteffen448]

As a former teacher, thank you for parenting ❤. Take care of yourself 😊

The 13th year old giŕl is the "mom" , so it seems ,looking at the video.

[@CariT136]

Those poor children. You can tell this mom, as she sits swiveling in her chair with her sunglasses on, & a smirk on her face, thinks she is above this! It's maddening! She absolutely agged that boy on. Praying for these kids. At least she's had a hysterectomy now, since she wasn't smart enough to use birth control.

[@greenman6141]

Everything you said is what I was thinking. Thank goodness her uterus is out. If only that had happened years ago. I do not understand why it is always the MOST incompetent, negligent parents who go on having child after child after child. And I do mean parentS plural. The sperm donors are equally culpable. The attitude of the mother in court is hard to believe. That swiveling, the dark glasses, that smirk. Well, I suppose it is all to the good. She isn't making any pretense about who she is. I still cannot believe that it took over a week, and required outside intervention for the kicked infant to be seen by a doctor. The "mother" STILL doesn't care. Then there's her lawyer. They do say that people end up with attorneys who reflect their own character. This man certainly is NOT the exception proving the rule. He's just proving the rule

[@North_West1]

Mom’s hate for the 14 year old comes screaming through. The teen knows his parent blames him for everything and no matter what he does he can’t do anything right. Even in video the teen made took multiple steps in attempt to regulate his behavior. His attempts to regulate were blocked by mom. With toddlers (or sleep walkers) in the house a simple slide lock above toddler reach on outside doors might makes scenes. But double key lock and locked windows is a recipe for disasters. If messy, chaotic house was only short term issue due to sudden illness…I’d feel better about the family coping long term. Family has required CPS involvement for at least 11 years. This wasn’t only a sudden illness when older children needed to step up and take on more responsibility for a week or two. Teen daughter wasn’t in school…no way she could be getting home schooled even if self directed.

[@tigrisb28]

I think you are extra. This is a behavior management issue. He has aggression issues and maybe more. This is a very short clip to make diagnosis or evaluations. There are tons of kids running around at the moment. She doesn’t need this bs court case. Maybe Without judgement get her help. The old statement it takes a village to raise a child. She should not have been having that many kids. If she had services since the oldest was young why didn’t they step in for that issue?

[@kellyredinger5974]

​@tigrisb28 She was offered services and a plan was developed. Neither parent did any of it.

[@pamelaliegh]

@@tigrisb28Parents didn’t follow through though. This poor boy Micheal has a hard time and his Mother is not of the skill level to manage that. The Parents are alienating that poor boy and likely causing a lot of the issues happening. I cross my fingers that Micheal is saved from them. 😢

[@loosie5224]

It sure does. I had tears in my eyes as mom was speaking about her son. If we feel it from just watching this video, imagine how Michael feels living it all day every day. I sure hope she becomes aware of how damaging her treatment of him is and finds a way to change her relationship with this child.

[@ashlinielson2578]

We all need to wrap our arms around these kids. ‘That boy’ hears that reference and it does so much damage to his inner esteem and self worth. The young man needs to be loved and not involved in adult business. 😢😢

[@arievena19744]

I am terrified of fire. Living in that mess, plus multiple locks on doors and windows would be scary Definitely a safety issue. These parents have no excuse for this chaos. Overflowing trash bags, clutter, dirty floors, bugs and food everywhere. Mom watches baby getting kicked in head and has no reaction. She sure popped up when her phone was taken! I hope the children can get the help and support they so desperately need. CPS has been involved for 11 years with this family. These kids have grown up with CPS strangers examining and probing into every aspect of their lives.

[@patriciaevans5906]

Fire is definitely an issue here….I don’t get people…why keep having more children? And it’s horrible for the other children that help thru this. And apparently Brooks doesn’t quite understand chronic illnesses….& for mom to be a diabetic is dangerous. After the statement mom made about the baby not being hurt I’m beginning to think mom shouldn’t be in charge of any children right now. I don’t think really she has any idea what being a mom means….theres a lot to it. I wish Brooks would retire. As some have said he’s very infuriating!

[@adriedrake8605]

I'm sorry her excuse of being on a pic line is not an excuse for a disastrous home! I have raised 6 kids . My home would have NEVER looked like that even when I was on bed rest years ago. How could you just give up on your child? Having a child austic requires a structured environment. The children are used to the environmental conditions. It's terribly sad. I really pray the children are safe and healthy❤

You won't immediately notice the effects of it, but in generations to come if there's a generation that doesn't have kids that means there will be more elderly people with nobody to take care of them, people will have to work longer before retirement because there's nobody to take their place, etc. It has huge effects on the economy. The issue right now is that the wrong people are continuing to have kids. There's a generation where it's celebrated to be childless and successful which there's nothing wrong with, but we need more of those successful people having children that will grow into successful adults.

I realize he could be dangerous but I feel horrible for him. I don’t know why all this is happening and he’s still there & not somewhere which can give him more help…I don’t know the story. Is she just trying to keep them all together or what? She seems to be too sick to take care of a child without any issues but being in a situation such as this doesn’t seem good. Does it sound like she wants him out of the home? I feel bad for all the children. I get angry at times but I this is terrible for him and the other children. And the more I listen to mom it sounds like she would prefer him gone and I agree she’s not taking responsibility for much. And I have to ask myself “why have so many children”…I know it’s a person’s right to have children but maybe sometimes you shouldn’t. I don’t know the story here…will have to go back and view.

Mr. Brooks quotes 'The Old Lady In The Shoe', but using the excuse "She had so many children she didn't know what to do," does nothing for his case. One is a nursery rhyme, the other a real woman that should have quit being a human Pez dispenser after the first couple of children were born! We have a few large families in our community, and inevitably, the eldest are required to tend to the youngest. The parents haven't the time nor energy to care for all of them, and the eldest grow up far too soon.

When I was a kid, my parents had friends with 13 or 14 kids, can't remember because I was quite young and I never saw them again after we moved away.

There were only 2 kids and mum and dad in our family and we weren't always organised 😄

Dayum, so she blames the son, then the husband, then the daughter. No blame on herself. I think 5/10 is accurate for her.

[@Baird3711]

So this woman who wears sunglasses in the court room mind you. Blames all this on her son?!? C’mon. Children especially are a product of their environment and this was no place for a goldfish to be living. She could try loving and encouraging her son but that’s just my two cents.

[@paigewilson7893]

She does not look sick while she is sitting smuggly rocking in her chair. I pray that Mr. Brooks does not have kids.

[@brittanyengels913]

Also, the mom wears a hoodie to court? Like, at least pretend to have it together. Your lawyer is in a suit!

[@claz7307]

I am so sick of hearing Brooks be like “there are 7 little kids in that confined space”. Who chose to have 7 kids when they can’t afford adequate housing…your client. Knock it off!

When my teenager was a runaway risk I installed an alarm on the doors and windows. I carried the pad that would turn it off to bed every night so my teenager couldn’t get out without me knowing but the door could still be opened.

[@debbiesteffen448]

I hope your teen and you are well and have a good relationship.

@@debbiesteffen448 And I have a wonderful grandson from her. She kept me and the school on high alert but she ended up graduating in the top quarter of her class. The moveable alarm pad was the most ingenious idea I came up with. Thankfully her younger sister took an easier path.

@@texasproud8822 thank you for the update, it is always good to get good news. Take care

[@anythingforselenas806]

Wow. Anyone would be losing their mind in an environment like that.

[@alyssahedman9438]

This is unbelievable. Yes the 14 year old has problems that need addressed but the mom taking no responsibility and blaming everything on a 14 year old is just crazy. She shouldn’t have any children . Glad she got a hysterectomy now but little too late.

No other services for his autism? Nope i dont beleive that, i know theres services for him its the parents job to follow through!!!

[@texasproud8822]

And if a child is labeled and they hear it all the time they become the label. It’s sad because the child will always be labeled. Autistic children shouldn’t get the “bad” label they should have help.

[@chickychick126]

The way this “mother” is setting there twisting in her chair sunglasses on as if she’s innocent. Sounds like this poor boy is better off when “mom” isn’t around him.

[@redone8232]

Have more kids, you can afford it.

[@corinnem]

Is she only on antibiotics?

[@North_West1]

She has a pretty severe infection with a pic line for IV antibiotics. Likely also on pain medication. However mom didn’t flinch. Almost like it was normal.

[@legendarymayormarylikestur8874]

JFC that video is unbelieveable!! The acting out kid is likely extremely frustrated by that mess and lack of appropriate life skills. The little ones following him around, while the adults just sit around like lumps on logs. All these kids need functional CLEAN homes.
