my bf (who's hobby is carpentry) just popped his head through from the kitchen when you were talking about the strippers pole in the kitchen and said- ''aah maybe it was the only room in the house with an exposed ceiling beam to drill into and a wooden floor to drill into? maybe the rest had concrete floors or carpeting?'' lol he could probably solve a crime through a persons DIY choices alone i;m sure of it.

@@lauda6945 Unfortunately anti-social mental disorder (popularly known as psychopathy) is not even considered as illness, it is not treatable and those people are not able to be "rehabilitated". It is not something that just goes away. Prefrontal cortex of those individuals is just for some reason different than the average person's, it cannot be restored and therefore they will never experience empathy or remorse. You can see that even in small children and it is dreading thought to have such a child and literally not to be able to do anything.

Ive worked as a therapist for someone with psychopathy and changes werr able to be made to assist with issues related to common social issues. Furthermore my partner is a recovered psychopath.

I feel it has to do with people still believing that being mentally ill isn't a real thing or big deal. The whole "just hang in there" attitude people have about getting through a hard time also seems to be a big example of this type of belief that mental illness isn't something that could end fatally especially in cases of depression or schizophrenia. Heck, even untreated anxiety disorders can lead to the development of other neuropsychiatric disorders.

Oh this poor girl. I understand where the father was coming from, but I think a chance of being teased is worth getting help. If a child couldn’t see on there own and needed glasses, almost every parent would get them glasses. There’s no shame in that. You can’t see on your own, you need glasses to help you out, so you get glasses. Even if the child gets teased, you’re not going to deny them glasses. Why is it so hard and stigmatized to get children help for mental disorders when they so clearly need it? I really wish that I would’ve gotten help sooner. I left it untreated for so long that it became a disorder. If you have a chance to prevent that or possibly lessen that, I urge you to take it. There’s no shame in asking for help and getting help.

Multiple personality disorder, or Dissociative identity disorder - DID(as it's called now) is an extreme manifestation of PTSD an in almost all cases stems from extreme and continous childhood abuse. Considering that, and the fact that the father took the first chance he got to get this girl away from her mother and sister and take her to the middle of nowhere, I do question what was going on there. Google DID, it doesn't happen just because, it has very particular causes. If she did have, she must have been abused at a very young age and troughout her childhood.

If I found a body at my friends house, I would probably assume it’s a party goer before I assume it’s my friends father.

[@heathers432]

Me too. The father would have been the last person I would have thought of.

[@PiercingChild]

Maybe they knew what he looked like? There must be a reason she knew it was him.

[@lizzi7128]

Same. Anyone BUT the father seeing as she said he had committed suicide and you had no reason not to believe her

[@swampdonkey4919]

Hmm. When I was partying as a teenager, none of my friends that age had a big house all to themselves for more than a day or two at a time. Having strict parents who didn't approve my partying, I'd more likely assume the body was a parent or a drug dealer. We all had the one friend whose parents let them do whatever, but the parents would always come back and we'd all have to go home Sunday afternoon when the party is over.

[@Wined34]

@@swampdonkey4919 That's so true, I think everyone had a friend whose parent was more of a friend than a actual parent to there kid. So they would let us do anything at there house, and everyone in our group knew where to go if we wanted to go smoke or have a few shots..💯

[@soberbunniee]

Seriously, you are hands down the best true crime channel i have ever watched. I like how you report on it. U can give ur a opinion, but somehow keep it unbiased. Thank u and keep it up 😊. I cant wait to see what keeps coming.

[@denisea.869]

I love your non-regional accent and how clearly you speak. I also appreciate that you have a great mic (so many KZbinrs have terrible audio!) and finally I love that you don’t have any weird inflections or “sing-songy” cadence when you tell your stories. You’re one of the few KZbinrs I could listen to for hours. Love it.

[@Emily-xs2mg]

My ex-husband refused to let me give my son medication for ADHD. Called it "throwing meds at him instead of dealing with him". Guess what? Now that he's on meds he's doing so much better at school. And he doesn't even take them any other time. It's amazing what happens when you actually look into options, talk to your kid, and try things out. It also helps that I spend actual time with my son, and not one or two days every couple of months. And I make time for doctor and counseling appointments. Holy hell people, talk to your kids.

[@NotAsalei]

The Truth Within The Lie - I hope you already know, but in case you don’t; you’re an amazing mother and an outstanding person. Thank you for sticking up for him, he’s forever immeasurably better off having someone like you.

[@azadalamiq]

how was he tested for his adhd? doctors do diagnose it too quickly, and him getting better grades can be in-spite of instead of caused by the meds. I have add, and I was an a and b student, I never acted out. It took a second grade teacher seeing my penmanship and slowish-ness to consider it. My mom took me to the 10 page test, a neurological exam, and a c a t scan which all came back with adnormal brain function. Also was diagnosed with having autism as an adult (28) and again recently. a lot of parents and dr do throw meds at their kids to pacify them then actually deal with the problem.

[@thepeopleslast2579]

@@azadalamiq add is different from adhd though. It has the added fact of hyperactivity, you may not have acted out because you had add not adhd. A lot of children with adhd "act out" because they are hyperactive, it's not really acting out just hyper but people don't know how to deal with it. But medication isn't a bad way to go, it's not 'not dealing with the root of the problem', it's a solution and one that works.

[@myrest3334]

I'm 26, I've been in treatment for my bipolar just for two years and sometimes it feels like my life is finally beginning. I wasn't before because my parents thought it would cause more harm than good. I understand they thought they were doing something good, though; at the start of my recovery I had to forgive them for their decision. But yes, some of us really need treatment. Sometimes the child knows and begs for it, and the parents says no cause doesn't know any better.

[@marljusweety]

Im so happy your son is doing well. What some dont understand is how medication sometimes is needed for a person to be able to receive help or treatment. Its individual and everyone needs to find out what works for them. And using meds is not the same as abusing meds.

[@meganlaroche]

Wow how you’ve grown!! This is 2 years old as I’m watching it and it’s crazy! LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS old and new!!

[@dpowers2005]

This makes me so happy. You were so thrilled and happy with 10k subscribers then and you're now so close to 475k. You're seriously the best Stephanie, keep it up!

[@Stelpots]

I absolutely love your attitude to your son and allowing him to wear nail varnish. I wish my own family were like that. My family have a real problem if my sisters youngest (he's 13) ever shows emotions. If he gets upset my brother tells him to "man up" or he gets told to stop acting like a baby and I absolutely hate it. It's turning him into a rude teenager himself where he is defensive and proceeds to pick faults with people straight away instead of trying to see their point of view.

[@StephanieHarlowe]

If you let kids do what makes them happy they turn into happy, accepting adults!

[@sleepinglabradors]

How could anyone say anything negative about you Steph, you are so lovely! Congratulations on hitting 10k, I am SO excited for you!

I know this is a old video but I love your voice, since I found your channel I have been going through all your new and old episodes. I watch everyday, I honestly watch at night when I fall asleep so have to go back and re-watch as your voice is so relaxing. I love how in-depth every episode is. Keep doing you.

[@loretta5653]

I have no idea how I just found you but I love your channel and with my immune system I’m still stuck inside so I’ve been watching all of your videos. Keep up the amazing work!

[@marysharkey1503]

Omg I absolutely LOVE that you allowed your son to wear nail polish and to handle himself in school with kids who've been indoctrinated into stupid social norms. Very cool.

Aaaand we have a feminist. "Indoctrinated?" We're seriously going there now?

[@meredithgrund9952]

Fragments of Creation go away

[@marysharkey1503]

@@damienthonk1506 - a feminist, as if that were a dirty word... Would you give us your perspective on what constitutes 'indoctrination"? Did you ever consider that the societal norms we are all born into, are in fact, a form of indoctrination? Did you ever consider that your views on feminism and the apparent, negative ways in which you perceive them, are a form of brainwashing? Do you even know what feminism really is? I'm not talking about extreme feminism. That's ridiculous and any type of extremism is not a good thing, imv. Honestly, I'm not being a smart ass and not attempting to be clever. Just very curious. In my view, feminism means equal pay for equal work. Allowing people to be who they are and that means, all people. Feminism is about intellectual honesty and striving to make the world a better place for future generations by encouraging each other to dig deeper, and each take responsibility for the world we live in, however small a part we each play. If a boy wants to wear nail polish or makeup or whatever, so what. Anything can be normalized, but what I would love to see normalized? It would be amazing for people to live and let live. Worry about yourself, is my motto. Btw, I really like your user name.

[@otubedajoana]

Same. The amount of youtubers that get way with basically reading off the wikis page about the case they're covering is really aggravating.

[@summerramsey9734]

Her "details" are misleading and unreliable. How about interview someone who was there and get your information from that, like a professional. I guess thats why she's not a professional. She has no right to be making accusations. The investigators did plenty of that until they found VIDEO coverage of the actual murder that took place in that home. But nobody would know that because it's not public record for one, and because noone was there to witness it except the people who WERE involved. People like her are the reason why media is almost always not probable or even reputable at this point. Take it from someone who was there. People are idiots.

[@heyhiheather]

Summer Ramsey I’m sure she isn’t purposely giving misleading/unreliable information. I’m guessing she’s getting her info from research she’s done on the internet. I don’t believe she would purposely give wrong info.

[@mooseymcflurffycat3018]

Also my son loved nail polish when he was 3-4. When his dad would pick him up, he would be very angry. I told him that my kiddo wanted it and it was great for teaching different colors. One morning I came downstairs to find he painted his nails (and skin) with my red polish. Hahaha. I'm glad your boy handled the disparaging comments in such a great way!
