The horrific day Leanna Taylor found out her son was dead: Part 1 | ABC News

[@Millie.00]

rarecharisma facts it’s his fault not the mother fault

[@cmarierogers9991]

rarecharisma oh I don't know Maybe because she defended the baby killer. Or maybe because she didn't put a headstone to lay her baby to rest and waited until the community did it.

[@trueCrimeGuruYes]

misogyny

[@trueCrimeGuruYes]

She still believes it was an accident. Why shouldn't she? The evidence doesn't add up. The jury may have convicted him because he was a huge, disgusting perv, plus everyone is bashing him for being overweight. But the fact he was on his phone sexting to multiple people makes it MORE likely he genuinely forgot. As for the headstone. I have lost the most precious person in my life to sudden death and you are numb and can't think to do a lot of stuff.

[@32446]

The women always gets the blame. Total misogyny

[@elyse679]

wait- why is everyone hating on her?! she's not the one who left him in the car- she didn't kill her son. Why is everyone against her?? Of course her ex is guilty, but she isn't. why is everyone hating on her?? This must be such a painful thing to go through, I can't even imagine losing your child. Of course she's in denial about her ex killing her baby- she lost her son, she's going through something terrible, and her (ex) husband is to blame. She doesn't want to accept the fact that he could actually do that and that her son really is dead. I'd be in denial as well if that happened to me.

ThatGirlElyse true

[@sopranomegs]

ThatGirlElyse Thank you. 100% agree. No one can predict how they would act if this happened to them. I believe she was in shock and that caused her to act "suspiciously" (even though I don't think it was suspicious at all...).

[@MissJessyeNorman]

Because there are things she did, that make it seem as though this was not an accident, that they BOTH conspired to kill their child, whilst making it appear to be an accident--AND VERY LIKELY, FOR PROFIT. We could be wrong. BUT, when things like this happen--it's unusual for SOOOOO many people to share the same gut feeling that the narrative being presented, is NOT the full story, and those ppl to be in absolute agreement about what the main issue being covered up is. That doesn't make it true, but it does definitely increase the likelihood a great deal. God grant us mercy is we are wrong about her--it would be awful for her to endure these accusations on top of the loss, were she innocent. If we are right--as killers do, she can't help but hint at the truth constantly, as she appears to do here, and in all of the other videos I've seen.

Peaches if you read more about the case no one actually did searches on hot cars. Someone on the mother's device just liked a Facebook share about "don't leave you DOG in a hot car" and it's not even clear anyone in the house even actually watched it. It was liked on her device. No one searched it up. But the prosecution tried to use that. The prosecution ALSO used the fact someone had sent Ross Harris a link to a "child free life" website and his response to the friend who shared the link with him was actually "Grossness." But the prosecution tried to make something of the fact SOMEONE else sent him the link.

What's wrong with me????? Counceling would had helped me grief but my mom did not know better she was conditioned to tough it up you can do it kind of lady. She did nit thought counceling would help she had enough faith in us that we would overcome and be strong is my guess. I love my mother I would not change her for nothing, to me shes my hero and the perfect mother. Months and months passed I remember 6months later i was still numb. Years had to passed untill i started to feel sad, the numbness was dissappearing and I started to miss him, i was traumatized I would constantly have dreams if him and on the dreams i would ask GOD please lets this be just a bad dream! I want to wake up to my Dad and when I would wake up I would have a hard time accepting his passing away. Its being 13years and im still grieving. Im more mentally stable, im working on it. Its so SAD SOCIETY POINTS FINGERS AT PEOPLE WHO SHOW MO EMOTIONS DURING THIS SITUATIONS AND PUT PEOPLE IN JAIL ACCUSED THEM OF MURDER JUST BECAUSE THEY SHOWED NO EMOTIONS.

Pullburry Doughboy. ,. Well spoken and very true, seems like judging others is way easier than kindness and understanding. My brother died, major time went by while my husband and both sons rotated holding me , of which two days I don't remember. I went online googled "grieving". and learned so much, plus you can talk to others or read stories sharing experiences. What makes us human is being different, not acting the same. I have learned to be careful about what I'd do given another person's dilemma,.cause passing judgement on others can turn on you. Bottom line we never know how we will behave or handle an unexpected situation, until it actually happens.

[@brigidmahon352]

Pillburrydoughboy Realdough This is completely accurate

[@openyourmind3763]

So sorry you lost your dad so young, and then to have to deal with your grief on your own and be misunderstood and judged. Everybody deals with grief differently and shutting down is a survival mechanism for coping with surreal circumstances and difficult emotions. . Most teens aren't able to identify thier feelings yet never mind articulate them. People that judge do so out of ignorance. It seems you are processing in your own time and way and may need to so at different developmental stages in your life, especially when you become a parent or have other vulnerable times. There is no guidebook or right or wrong way to grieve. Some of us process more privately or Internally, some more externally. I lost my dad unexpectedly when I was 19 and I am an introvert, I was surprised at the drama of other adults.. The grief is now a part of you but it gets smaller and less intense, and I am grateful for the years I had him and I can see the ways he is still part of me or has helped me. Dreaming is part ofprocessing, I had both unsettling and comforting dreams. Depending on your spiritual beliefs you can ask for good, guidance dreams before bed, and you can meditate on the advice your dad would give you. And know you are never alone, there are a lot of supportive resources and people out there if you get stuck. Often the people in the circle we are born into are not as helpful as we hope, but that is because they are stuck in their own grief. Wish you much peace and healing. Parents just want thier kids to be healthy andhappy, and that is the best way to honor your dad. Much peace to you and your loved ones, and kudos to your mom for being strong and keeping on, even if you needed a little more awareness from her.

I can't imagine having to go through this. I don't care what was going on in my life I would never forget my child in the car. I would have lost my mind and been screaming at crying at my husband , not hugging him. omg

[@PrinceChris93]

cherry Path that was the daycare worker you idiot

[@trueCrimeGuruYes]

If you really loved and trusted your husband then you would believe it was an accident and turn to him for support and you might be too numb and disbelieving to start screaming and crying. Also she may have been barely making ends meet and not had money for a fancy headstone which is kind of a pointless waste of money anyway.

[@trueCrimeGuruYes]

cherry Path Then you didn't love your husband to begin with. If you truly loved your husband and believed in him you would be sure he forgot and it was a horrific accident like she did.

I understand we are all individuals and react to trauma in different ways. But even the thought of receiving news like these just break my heart and send me in a horrible anxiety roller coaster.

Alot of men do this alot they just forget or smoke Marijuana. Very forgetful . My mom left my sister in the crib as we got in the freeway for vacation. She had 5 kids to get in the ready in the car.

[@lexic993]

I find a common trait between a lot of cases where the husband/wife are responsible for someone's death whether it be the significant other, a child, family member, etc. The couple gets married too fast, and it's immediately the family of the victim who told them they were rushing into it. See y'all it just proves how ur family is right and just like how your mother can detect the fake friends in your life before you do, your family can sense when something's wrong and you should really listen to them no matter how badly they make you happy you should always take a step back and look at the whole picture

[@markharrisllb]

Lexi C Your comment reminds me of some of the warnings my late mother gave me and I can’t think of one time she was wrong. My mother was really badly affected by Lewy Bodies Dementia by the time I started a relationship with my wife, even though all that Mum knew Hazel was the right person for me.

[@maguieg]

Dark Angel my sister would think that... even when she was pregnant she was worried of forgetting the baby in the car, yes, the baby wasnt even born and she was already worring about that. And when her mother in law takes care of the baby while she is working, she sometimes gets worried that she can forget the baby in the car. Remember we are all different, the fact that you wouldn't think of that, doesnt mean other people wouldn't either.

My son is now 23, I raised him as a single mom and times were tough here and there yet NEVER once did I not know where my baby boy was. Never. I can't believe for even one second that he didn't know where his baby was. If you love your baby that's an impossibility in my mind. I do find it hard to grasp how she can stand by the man that did this horrible horrible thing to her baby. That sweet innocent beautiful boy died alone, even as an adult that is one of my biggest fears-dying alone. I never had the chance to know this beautiful baby yet I can never forgive what he did. I understand being in denial of a traumatic event, I'm not bashing the mom here at all, I'm just saying that the last thing I would or could do would stand by ANYONE who had taken my son's life. My heart us with her, I can't even fathom the pain she feels, and I pray that she finds true happiness in her life. I truly mean that. My God, this is such a difficult video to watch. God bless her sweet baby boy and God bless her too.

[@nicolesmith6677]

As long as you have a normal, human brain you can have the perfect storm where your brain creates a false memory, based on the other times you dropped the child off, and your grandchild or other child in your care, can end up being cooked to death in a car. This has nothing to do w/how much you love a child. This is about the science and limitations and creativity of the brain. Which has nothing to do with Ross or LeAnn's story. They're both murderers.

Netia Louis My mom forgot I was in the car with her when I was really little. I fell asleep in my carseat (it was really early in the morning) and because she didn't hear me she forgot that she had to drop me off to daycare before heading to work. Fortunately she realized her mistake when she was halfway there. Parents are human, they get tired. It could've ended terribly, but I'm still there. Sadly it happens and it's heartbreaking, but if it's unvoluntarily, the person will have the weight of a dead person to carry forever, and it's not easy for anyone.

My 2 year old walked out our front door on her own and headed to the village shop. When I noticed she was gone 5 mins later, (much to my surprise later) I didn’t panic. I bolted and ran after her. I caught up with her down the street and even after having the relief of her safe in my arms, I didn’t cry. I think mothers are sometimes bears in terrifying situations, not balls of emotion and tears. We are looking for ways to ‘fix it’ even when it can’t be fixed. Therefore I don’t blame her for seeming calm.
