I don't think the brother is "sketchy". I think it pains him to have to speak about his sister this way; her parenting failures and substance abuse, and toxic marriage.

It can't be easy to take part in a hearing like this, with his sister and jerk husband staring him down on the screen. I always feel bad almost everyone who has to be involved in these messes. It's heartbreaking, and I just hope things work out for the children. It's entirely up to the parents to straighten themselves out.

​@@fayezentner2244 not if it ends up in court. If you call cps and your the only witness to the crime you will ether have to be ok with beeing identified or everything you say would be hearsay in court. If cps does not have evedence of their own everything they repeat from you would be unusable in court if you do not testify yourself. If it goes to trial the accused has the right to know their accuser. If you wrote and signed a statement they could use that but it would still identify who you are. Thats why its so hard to get a conviction based on a confidential tip. They will have to investigate the tip and find evidence of the crime. Where if a witness just calls and says they will testify thats all they would likely need.

After 18 months of mother not doing anything to get her son back, and constant threats of violence and harassment online. My son and dil adopted my now youngest grandson. He's the youngest of five grandchildren. I could not love him anymore than I do. He is now 4, when he gets home from daycare (where everyone loves him) and yells Grammy I home.

Many yrs ago, I worked at an elementary school. On my way to work, across the street from the school, I found a little girl, naked, wet, and alone, reaching her hand thru a fence with a Viscous Dog sign on it. I estimated her age between 3&4, but she was totally non verbal. I jumped out of my car, wrapped her in my coat, (it was cold) and put her in my warm car with a blanket out of the back. I knocked on doors and nobody in the neighborhood knew who she was. I took her to the school. We took a picture of her and walked around the classes to see if anyone knew her. Nobody did. Then we called 911. Police came. Then more police, EMS, and the fire dept came. They knocked on doors for blocks in every direction. Nobody knew her. The little girl, again, was totally non verbal. Finally, after 4 hrs of going door to door, flashing lights from all the emergency setvices, they decided to take her to Children's Services. She wouldn't go to anyone else, nor let go of me, so they asked me to go with her. It was a 35-40 min drive in the police car. Just as we pulled into Children's Services parking lot, the officer got a call they had found the mother. We were told to bring her back. By now, we are at like 5 hrs gone, and then the long drive back. Mom's excuse was she put her in the bath & nodded off! What?? Her door had been knocked on by me and 2 different officers. There were fire trucks, local and county LE cars, and an ambulance with flashing lights almost directly in front of her house, but she nodded off with her toddler in the bath for a moment. When we pulled up, I didn't want them to just hand her back, but they made me! I was sobbing! Mom just walked up to the car & waited. When I got the child out of the carseat in the police car, mom just said "Get in the house you little shit!". The cop was now crying too, but his supervisor said he had to give her back. Nobody in the neighborhood had EVER seen the girl, even the next door neighbors! The girl was non verbal, but understood when you talked to her, and was very loving to me. Police filed a report with CPS, but she should never have gone back till they could show she would be safe!

So in other words you are confessing that you engaged in child/human trafficking buying someone else's children, you admit to aiding and abetting in kidnapping.

[@ShannonR1969]

His bio parents were obviously not capable of keeping him safe and well. There was no "kidnapping" or "trafficking." Get real. She opened her home and heart to a child in need of both.

That poor brother was subpoenaed he was in a impossible situation. He will also be likely worried about grassing her sister up to him knowing they live together. I personally am terrible at dates, definitely terrible at being asked on the spot questions, l panic then my brain scrambles even more.

[@HaileyAndTheArt]

You hold your children hostage after assaulting your wife and mother, you lose your rights to those children.(I'm really having a hard time accepting in my mind the possibility of treatment that would be enough to ensure the absolute safety of those children. ) Why are we even wasting resources on these cases?!

[@toniaphillips9695]

[@peggyhardt7326]

The defense attorney attacking the brother was uncalled for. She knows better than to use the 'but what about you' defense on a witness. He was not on trial. Someone should have objected. As for one of the attacks.....yes, it is a problem when children are given candy late at night instead of a decent meal! That is what he was talking about.

[@dragonf1092]

They are their children not his or yours they have the constitutionally protected right to give their children candy whenever they so choose.

The lawyers for the parents drive me absolutely insane! I know they have a job to do, but for crying out loud! If her brother called CPS or PD, and it will probably happen now because he testified against them, the father will beat the mother to within an inch of her life, and he may well kill her.

[@yolly2292]

It’s so disingenuous when they say “I’ll do anything…”. Well, they’ve done everything to insure that their children will grow up broken until now. The cowards behave themselves when they’re outgunned but they change back to monsters when they’re with the children who can’t defend themselves.

Wtf?? Another mom & dad of the year 🤬

[@indirastone7382]

Natalie Bennett projects the attitudes of the parents. That’s not a good thing. There are no excuses for their behavior and how they behave in front of their children. They’ve had too much contact with Law Enforcement and CPS. Bradley has an explosive temper. They’ve created a hostile, unstable environment for the children. It will never understand why he yelled at his toddler and called her “dirty white trash”. That would’ve given me grounds to lay a flurry of hands about his head and face.

[@User39123]

If you work for CPS my one and only piece of advice. Document every single interaction. And then get a signature from at least one party after the interaction. I did this faithfully as a caseworker and I had a teen and her adopted family who got angry at the judge (rightfully so) for not moving the case along but the judge let them believe it was on me. So they filed a complaint with the state on me. When the state came in to do an audit on me the family was PISSED to get a letter back from the state saying that not only had I fulfilled my duties but I had gone above and beyond. (Which I didn’t. I just documented everything I did and if everyone did that people would have an understanding of how much CPS workers do, and who is doing the work and who isn’t).

[@Kivlor]

I have some bad news: a large portion of kids taken from their parents end up in *worse* circumstances than they left. That's not to deny the plight of abused or neglected kids. Its an indictment of the existing foster system. There are parts of the US where the odds of a kid being killed due to neglect/abuse are higher in state custody than if they'd been just left to suffer in their biological parents care. Horrifying and sad.

The brother seems genuine to me he’s worried about his sister and the kids! I think he held back because he said his sister would confide in him and I’m sure he’s worried he said that because she has to go back home and live with him also he doesn’t want his sister to lose her children! Imo

I wanna say, I submitted a report to CPS a few weeks ago about my brother who has been using meth and terrorizing his kids, my niece and nephew. He has a live-in girlfriend who is also equally addicted and violent. I have a letter that my niece wrote detailing some things she has been through. she is 11. CPS took the report and sent it through "Alternative Response." They literally deemed that report not a threat. Did I mention my brother is a RSO? Did I mention he is on probation right now for burying a body? I'm about to start dropping documentaries on the $hit I know... It's too much and I have to put it somewhere.... EDIT: The video drops have started. I linked it all in my profile. Hopefully they'll do okay.

[@cv6442]

Living up to your username 💜 I hope they are able to intervene. I wonder if you keep contacting CPS? Squeaky wheel gets the grease unfortunately, but without many eyes on them, sometimes that does NOTHING at all! That's why I feel these types of videos are so important for the public to access. We must have transparency for accountability for these children's well-being!! Can you contact his probation and tip them off to his drug use? I wish I knew more ways to help!! Your family will be in my thoughts 💔

[@fjetcj]

@@cv6442 I have already spoken with his PO. She is the one I sent the letter to, to forward for the first CPS report. She is a mandatory reporter, I made sure of it before I sent it and spoke with her personally beforehand and got her email. Gave her the whole backstory about how I was his first victim, and that he was also violent with me, the same crap his little girl is experiencing. 3 weeks later I gave my own report and this time I was angry. I had just gotten news that after living in a camper for 3 weeks, they were being evicted from the land they were on and the reports of violence in this little camper were off the charts insane. Again I relayed the letter verbally...You have to understand, CPS knows, I know, these children's bio mother was 16 when she began dating my brother in his mid 20's. they split up many years back and a couple mother's days ago, she committed sui_ide. CPS understands the trauma these kids have endured and they have a healthy aunt that can take them on the maternal side. I don't have the space for courts to deem fit. i'm raising 3 of my own, but the point is there is better placement and DFPS ignored it.

[@emilyward4388]

Keep contacting cps!!!! Apply pressure and keep applying that pressure. Those babies need to be out of his care immediately

[@fjetcj]

​@@emilyward4388 ugh i'm so emotional over this, let me try to respond like a sane person- this has been going on for 2 years. I first dealt with them over this, 2 years ago, and I just sent another email to the current caseworker, today. However, they closed the "case" within 3 weeks of my last report, so 3 weeks ago. Everyone always says, "keep contacting CPS" as if that means something. No offense but those are the ones who aren't dealing with CPS. The case worker told me verbatim, " CPS isn't what it used to be." If the caseworkers feel hopeless, how do you think I feel? Or the kids? at this point even the kids don't want to speak. Last time they did, when he threatened to k_ll them 2 years ago and I sent the kids to school straight to the counselor to report, it got them silenced. CPS did nothing and the kids felt abandoned. They haven't been open since.

[@amandakay789]

That’s when you go above their heads. You can contact the Supervisor (get any & all proof & go public) you can contact their school inform them bc they are mandated reporters so they’ll have to report it, you can go straight to your local police dept as well. If that all fails you can really piss them off and contact your Commissions office they will record a “in take” report & investigate. Also, if they are using Methamphetamines in the home it’s highly likely the children will have it in their system. That drug is worse than pure tar H. I wish you all the best
