It never should have happened, but can we talk about how badass Ronnie is? Not only he was courageous to tell the police what happened, but he faced his “dad”/family’s murderer in court. Kid is so much stronger than any of us ever will be

You are right, we don’t know what someone has been through at the end of the day.

Instead of thinking that that commenter was putting anyone done maybe think and realise that they were just stating a fact.

The fact that little Ronnie's dad was allowed to cross-examine him is wild. In Australia, self-represented defendants aren't allowed to cross-examine their victims, generally they are forced to have counsel to do it on their behalf

[@nillyk5671]

The US sucks in that regard. And others

It shocked me that the court allowed that. I couldn't imagine how scared little Ronnie felt having to speak to his dad. I'm just glad he's in a safe and loving home and not moving around the care system, possibly giving him more trauma

Eleanor, please read this all, as an active true crime listener, I love you and your content. I was really hoping that you would be able to cover the unsolved murder case of a little eight year old girl from my hometown, it doesnt get much coverage and the person believed to have been responsible is just out walking around free. Her name is Mindy Tran and very little awareness has been brought to her case and with you being such an admerable victim adovocate and story teller she deserves to have her story told by you. It would mean the world to me and im sure to her family as well. Her name is Mindy Tran and this took place in kelowna BC Canada. Love you, thank you!

I heard the 911 calls coming out of the twin towers and the woman on the line realizing she wasn’t going to be saved in time and I started crying in the grocery store. And a lesser known celebrities 911 call when he was contemplating suicide was played on the news once, and I think that’s just disgusting, it’s such a personal, private thing, I don’t need to involve myself in that.

He was nothing but a sperm donor. He was never a father or a dad. People like him deserve a tall tree, with a strong limb and a short rope.

[@woonsockettruthseeker9009]

Guy is as unstable as possible. His court case was bananas. May his family rest in peace😢

[@ShilohJulia]

He’s an evil narcissist and with a low IQ thinking he can outsmart everyone

[@Eszlam]

If he was white he’d be labelled as mentally ill. Schizophrenic

[@featheredkisses]

Such a terrible case! Some people do not deserve to have children. Happy to have you back Eleanor!

[@emilythomason2297]

There was a murder case in Fairfield illinois (my home town) I think you should cover. A girl went missing for years. Her body was found buried in a field almost 10 years later. Her boyfriend and her father killed her and hid the body in a field in the town. It was devastating for my small town. I think this story deserves to be heard.

[@lynsey4224]

Awful story and so bizarre that this clown was allowed to question his own son. Hats off to the cop for having a heart and spending time with young Ronnie. Heartbreaking to think this little guy was recovering from something so horrific with no visitors 😢. I hope he's doing well.

[@SoCalJellybean]

My heart goes out to the first responders and medical professionals who had to witness the state of that sweet girl’s mutilated little body. I can’t even imagine how you would get that image out of your head. 💔

[@kileyblake5512]

I have genuinely checked Eleanor's page everyday since the murder kit case. I rinsed Spotify and bungee almost each video waiting for a new upload. Thank you for returning with a fantastic video Eleanor 💕💕

[@shannooony]

Mike Blair is an absolute hero! My eyes filled up with tears hearing how much he loved and cared for Ronnie during his awful ordeal. What a man 😢❤ so glad little Ronnie had a happy ending ❤️

[@Zapery33]

I don’t usually have many physical reactions to many cases, but this one genuinely brought tears to my eyes and pain to my heart… I wish only the best for little Ronnie Blair ❤

[@babyghuol]

It's very difficult to get me to cry, but that ending had me in tears. The Blair family is such a blessing. I'm sure Ronnie's mother and sister look down on them and are eternally grateful.

[@SocialExperiment232]

As if it wasn’t enough that he has to witness his perfect little family be brutally murdered but then he has to witness his father in court trying to blame his dear mother, call him a liar, to have to answer his questions… ugh! I feel angry for him I can’t even imagine how angry he must have been. When he asked him how he hurt him and he calmly answers “you stabbed me”… I got chills 😭 god bless that cop for being his only friend and giving him a new loving family. God bless little Ronny he is such a strong young man ❤

[@boopthesnoot_boop]

The courts allowed his attacker to revictimize him. Things need to change, victims deserve better.

[@SocialExperiment232]

@@boopthesnoot_boop yes they did! It’s disgusting that he had to honor that beasts rambles with responses. The “justice system” always cares more about the criminals rights than the victims. By honoring his right to represent himself they violated little Ronny’s right to not be victimized again. There was a literal recording of him killing the mother so is not like they even needed much to put him in prison.

[@ryokothenecromancer83]

... my heart breaks for Little Ronnie.... To have to witness such a gruesome attack and to be the only survivor, and then see his father represent himself and then be cross examined by his own father.... This takes abusive traits and buzz words to a whole new level.... I always wanna hope and believe that monsters don't exist... Folk lore monsters, maybe don't, but humans.... Humans are the scariest creatures to encounter....

[@remingtonlee2800]

Seeing little ronnie in that picture with those other kids makes me so happy, I'm so glad he's got the support he needs

[@lemonem15cats]

Wow such a horrific case. At first I thought this man was insane, but as we went on with the details and footage I came to the conclusion that he's a narcissist who only cares about himself and controling others. After such a horrific case it's nice to have a positive ending. I bet his mother and sister would be happy and relieved to know that little Ronnie is in good hands and part of a loving family.

[@Drearyz]

I have genuinely never ever cried at a true crime video b4. But hearing the happy ending really got me going

[@marionfriedenthal7352]

Ronnie has found a place of belonging amidst all the loss and pain. Nothing could have been more fitting than him being adopted.. That boy has a beautiful face and a smile to touch any heart. ❤❤ I wish him well for the future.

[@Sailormercury_56]

Rest In Peace to the amazing mother and her princess 💕 absolutely heartbreaking especially for little Ronnie. Thank you for sharing their stories in a way that’s true to the victims, instead of being all about the killer

[@glkmee22]

I literally can't stop crying. So many reasons to really cry on this one. Long live little Ronnie. Bless his heart. Bless his new family. And welcome back Eleanor!

[@corriel2500]

Family annihilaters are the most horrific people. That poor baby is lucky to survive but that monster had to traumatize his baby more in court. My heart is broken and I can't imagine how that baby is dealing with this emotionally

[@Pilot-MJ]

Those guilty sickos who choose to represent themselves are blinded by their massive ego and crushing stupidity... it's cringey and embarrassing to watch, but also a slap on the face to the victims! 😤

[@mynameiselvispresleygirlsa5911]

Yeah I'm really surprised that they're allowed to cross examine a witness against them. Would that not be a conflict of interest? What about coercion and intimidation??

[@Pilot-MJ]

@@mynameiselvispresleygirlsa5911 exactly, poor little Ronnie there saying "you stabbed me"... many would not be able to confront or even face a violent/unstable person who hurt them so badly. Ronnie was probably somehow still sheltered by his own innocence 🙏

[@mynameiselvispresleygirlsa5911]

@@Pilot-MJ the kid did so well. A lot of kids would clam up and refuse to speak, or, even worse, just say what the perpetrator would want to hear because they're scared.

[@megannaughton116]

Ahhh Ellie is back, i have bloody missed your videos. I hope you have enjoyed a well deserved break, but i am extremely happy to have you back ❤

[@jennyserenityforestelgin]

As someone who takes in teens for foster care i love this family so so much. We had to fight for counseling and other services you would assume they would have access too. A police officer will also understand the trauma. I love this ending! Happy crying with you!!

[@manoeaerts1727]

this story made me cry. It's so heartbreaking but so heartwarming in the end. Little Ronnie will never be the same, but he might actually be happy again. I can't imagine the psychological torture this must have been and still is for him, but he's so strong and I hope and believe he'll make it. He's not just a victim or a survivor, he's something that can't be put into words. This family deserves endless amounts of respect for what they did.

[@aeshaal-saedi2318]

Its so traumatizing how this kid had to reply to his dad about what happened 💔

[@NoirValkyrie]

Damn, it's like the universe was trying to do good work trying to take that monster out and that beautiful woman and her babies suffered because they weren't successful. So horrible.

[@LaFemmeNoir83]

I thought the same thing! smh

[@karaghjane4942]

When I say I ugly cried hearing that the Blaire family took Ronnie in… Honestly so blessed to have such loving people out in the awful, big, bad world 🖤

[@jellystarz]

his little smirk in the court photos that makes him look like a cheeky schoolboy makes me feel physically sick

[@ratman6754]

Sometimes I wish that the US didn’t have laws against cruel and unusual punishments, because personally, I think that this man deserves to be put through every single thing that he did to his family, with time to heal in between so that he can feel the pain he inflicted onto the people he hurt. That’s just me though! 😊

[@HeisenbergFam]

Eleanor's British accent is so strong it turned my coffee into tea, glad to see you back safe & sound after 2 months

[@user-jk1nn6jp4z]

my face is drenched in tears I love little Ronnie he's so strong

[@IsabelNailedIt]

I feel bad for everyone in the courtroom having to sit there and listen to him

[@TshepoMohasoane]

I remember seeing Ronnie’s videos and pictures circulating twitter and people were using him as a meme and I can’t believe those videos came from such a sad and tragic situation.

[@pig_rabbit6944]

I'm so glad to hear little Ronnie was adopted and is doing well. Bless that little boys heart

[@isabelmolinaware]

when he’s cross examining his son, i was so heart broken for his son because i can’t imagine him just seeing his father after everything he put him through! on the other hand, it was laughable the way his dad handled his own defence. it literally sounded like he was on the other side of the court! he was just laying out questions so his son could confirm everything that the dad did that night!

[@estherdenenga5227]

The ending is what got me, I don’t know why. Just Little Ronnie finding a new loving family makes me emotional

[@tattoro]

i’m in tears at ronnie being adopted by the family, what a sweet ending :,)
