Personal opinion: don’t court order children to spend time with people they’re uncomfortable with; it just seems so obvious 😭

[@coyoter9691]

I know, that seems so cruel. Even if there isn't a threat of abuse or murder, I would think it would be very psychologically damaging to force a child to be around someone they are scared of or uncomfortable with. The well-being of the child should always be paramount in these decisions, not just the feelings of the parents.

[@CreativeC13]

I agree but it get complicated when parents lie to children to make them think the other parent is wrong or evil. It happens all the time.

[@MK-Hogan]

Kids need to be listened to and it should be investigated when they don’t want to visit the other parent. However, it’s not that simple because it could be the rotten parent that’s successful in alienating them from the good parent. Then you have a case of the kid being removed from the good parent who now has no chance of maintaining that relationship. It gets messy. It should definitely be investigated though.

[@ellaboehme6748]

@@coyoter9691 as a kid who was forced to go through it, yes it is extremely damaging. I had debilitating anxiety, extreme social issues, depression, and suicidal tendencies that I still struggle with years after that situation ended. I don’t think any child or any person should ever have to go through that. This case proves that not only is it detrimental to the child’s health but also a danger to their safety and their life.

[@wepeelwraps]

@@ellaboehme6748 exactly! i put my foot down for myself at 16, it’s been almost ten years and i still have tons of trauma from it all. it severely impacted my personality and who i grew up to be. we should look into why kids don’t want to be with certain people. kids deserve so much more protection

[@debbiesimkovitzweinglass7840]

We need "Dylan's Law" - a law that protects children who voice their opinion that they don't wish to spend time with a parent, who may be abusive. Dylan didn't want to spend time with his Dad. If Dylan would have been allowed freedom of choice not to visit his Dad, he would possibly still be alive!!!

[@amaliesolli8986]

This is so true❤️

[@cocokai9661]

Exactly!!! I was just going to post this exact thing! When a child doesn't want to spend time with someone there's a reason. We see this over and over. The courts need to listen. Especially when this opinion was shared by his older sibling.

[@ashleymonnin3962]

Yes!

[@lisasmiles3318]

100% Dylan's Law needs to be a thing. I'm sick of hearing stories about kids who don't want to go, but they're forced to. Like.. There's a damn reason they don't want to!

[@kimberly2440]

I agree. When my kids didn't want to go with their dad (I had found out so much during our divorce the kids never told me) I kept them in the house even though my lawyer told me I would be violating the court order and could be taken to jail... Take me to jail. My kids are not going. They are older now and still have nothing to do with him. This really does need to be a law.

[@ViaCurtis]

if the child doesn’t want to see a parent after divorce, there’s probably a reason. it sucks that children aren’t taken seriously just because they’re minors. children in divorce are the biggest piece of the puzzle.

[@Bubba.mitchell4603]

Children have hardly any say or power or a bigger word being seniority, is seriously lacking.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Parental alienation is a big risk if you don't have a close look at the individual situation, children are so often manipulated by some parent. BUT I agree that once that suspicion is out of the way kids should be taken seriously. No kid should be forced to see anyone.

[@jennifermcgee8621]

@@TheNinnyfee Agreed 100%. Also, child should not be kept away from a loving parent because an adult had a grudge against that parent. Many children are used as pawns when adults have issues with one another. I've seen this happen to a family member who didn't have the financial resources of her late husband's family. That is why I commend Kendall for her support of Her Justice. There are women out there that need help and support. Thank you Kendall.

If I had known those pictures had existed it’s no way I would have sent my son to him! 😡🤬 I have to believe his mother did not know this side of his fAther and still let him go with him…I will finish watching the rest of the video

No where in this video does it ever say Dylan was afraid. He didn't want to spend time with his dad. He had 0 respect for his dad, especially after those photos. But that doesn't mean he feared his dad or felt like he was in danger. There was no sign that his dad would ever hurt his kids which is why he was given visitation in the first place

[@nicoledoubleyou]

Unfortunately that's not always true. Sometimes parents can bad mouth and lie about the other parent to the kid and make the kid not want to be around the other parent or even feel uncomfortable around the parent. It's hard to know the difference, you know? It's hard for the courts to figure out if there's a valid reason for not wanting to be with the parent

[@crossfoot4612]

[@eromo4856]

@@nicoledoubleyou I agree, because I’ve been in that exact position at the 11-12 years of age myself. Also another factor can be which ever parents home is still their original home, same neighbourhood friends, same school. Kids don’t like change either. Sometimes it’s which ever parent will let them do whatever they want, or get away with what they want, or gives them whatever they want. If the parents aren’t co-parenting well, children aren’t as naive and stupid as people think sometimes they learn to use/manipulate their parents too!

The dad was talking in past tense during his interview where he says “Dylan WAS the light of my life and he MEANT everything to me” when he was only missing. Isn’t he still the light of your life if he’s still alive out there but missing? Well seems he knows his son is dead. Edit: then it looks like he was trying to make himself cry in the beginning when he says he meant everything to him and he just couldn’t form tears.

[@pinkcupcake613]

Any time someone refers to a missing person in the past tense you know they’re guilty. I know people who have lost loved ones and still refer to them in the present tense sometimes because they struggle with having lost them. Unless you killed your kid you wouldn’t refer to them in the past tense because you don’t want to believe they are gone.

[@Findpepperbridge]

I know that everyone thinks past tense means guilty but I don’t automatically think that. When my cat went missing I was doing that. I can see how it looks guilty but I think blood evidence has more merit.

[@shannonbritton5313]

The family courts forced him to go after he told them he didn't want to and his dad was aggressive towards him. Judges need to be held accountable when they do this to children. Believe the kids and mothers when they have proof showing a history of abuse and violence! This pisses me off because it was preventable. His last text was a sad face to his mother. He knew what was coming

[@WhisperingMoon83]

Absolutely!! I had commented something similar on Stephanie Harlowe’s video on this case. I don’t understand it!! I really hope these judges are held accountable somehow.

At the same time parental alienation is more common than physical abuse. But at 12.. that’s questionable

[@ds5322]

Social worker in CO here, unfortunately this would be difficult to accomplish. Parents have visitation rights according most states statutes and even though there are definitely concerning parents out there, a state can’t withhold that right unless the parent has displayed ongoing instability or violence. It’s not a perfect system at all but if the courts allowed children to decide under any circumstance, there would be many parents who don’t get to see their kid’s for unjust reasons like: “Sally said her dad doesn’t let her stay up late so she refuses to go”. They definitely need to look into cases one by one, but the system is too underfunded :(

That makes absolutely no logical sense! There should be no contact at all, if the child does not agree to it. If they later on, actually & for real, want to have contact to that parent again, for whatever reason, guess what - they can STILL change their mind but didn't have to go through all that additional trauma ffs..

Saying he would never kill Dylan he WAS the light of his life and that he MEANT everything to him. He was speaking about him as if he was dead.

I was old enough to escape it as I was turning 18 at the time but my siblings (in Colorado) are being made to spend time with our mother even though she's incredibly verbally, mentally, and sometimes even physically abusive. The divorce system rarely if ever takes the child's wants into consideration.

It's not that unusual at all. If there's no reason (as in a risk) provided then it's normal. Children say they don't want to do things all the time that's rarely an acceptable reason. Clearly the mother didn't really believe there was a risk either or she would've raised safety issues with the police and court beforehand

I know he was 18 but if he was living with the mom she should have absolutely forced him to go or at the very least stay in town. The mother quite frankly should have flown out as well and stayed somewhere else. This whole situation was a mess from the start. The brother not going is so disrespectful.

Except that's not how it happened. There was no indication - to the court - that the father was unstable or violent. It's very easy to make this strawman argument in hindsight but the fact of the matter is in the majority of cases children don't turn up dead. Often there can be bad blood because of a messy divorce which biases children towards one parent or the other and has reflects in no way on their parenting skills/love of their child and the child goes on to have a positive relationship with both parents. Also you're forgetting that often in situations like this one parent can poison the child against the other. Then there are other considerations, does the child not want to visit the other parent for superficial reasons? (maybe one parent is wealthier and has more 'fun' things like computer games/cars/pools etc). What if one parent is just stricter and the other lets them get away with bad behaviour? It's a complicated issue.

The dad literally fake cried for all of 2 seconds and then went straight on to talking about what HE'S doing and how HE feels. He also spoke in past tense about Dylan but Dylan's mother spoke about Dylan in present tense...

[@crystalpeterson8730]

I could see a parent talking about a child in past tense if it had been month.. and they don’t know cause the person hasn’t been there butttt in days no no no..

[@xlucyphurx5463]

@@crystalpeterson8730 What makes it worse is that he mentioned blunt force trauma before anyone even thought about that 😵

[@martacapela8527]

I teared up when Dylan's mother was talking about him and also his brother, when he said Dylan was someone he always exepected to be there and now he wasn't 😭

[@nicoledoubleyou]

Yeah it's really rough to lose a sibling. You grow up with them, and then suddenly they're gone and it's so hard to live with that. People overlook how hard it is for siblings, everyone usually focuses on how hard it is for parents to lose a child. And it IS really hard for parents. But it's really hard for siblings, too.

[@LaguBudakKuching]

That part broke me. Poor Dylan didn't deserve this and neither did his family.

[@ginnywiel]

I love the fact that while Kendall is talking about this highly disturbing case, while her cat is looking as having the best sleep of its life..

[@cdude9295]

His mama is a total badass. It’s sad to know that Dylan maybe had a feeling that something bad might happen to him, it’s human nature to dread something we know doesn’t feel 100% right. Ugh, just a horribly sad story.

[@summercooper3201]

Did anyone else catch Mark talking about Dylan in the past tense during his interview-an interview taken during active searches for a live child? That is a HUGE red flag

[@42Ccastro]

I've actually never heard of this case, but in the first few minutes of this video I already knew Mark killed him.

[@changedmyusernameagain7654]

I was the complete same

Same here. Dad is a POS.

As a single parent, this is devastating on many different levels. The mom had no reasonable choice and this needs to be changed. If he was going to run away, he would have run away while at his mother's house. A man with a violent past should not have been granted unsupervised visitation.

[@melaniejohnston3520]

The courts failed Dylan by forcing him to stay and visit with a man he hated - you don't just have the right to visitation you earn it -prior to that thanksgiving he HAD not earned it- the laws need to change when a parent is known to be violent toward a spouse or child - that child should be allowed to chose what type of visits he/she can tolerate - shame of the system !!

As someone with chronic illness it is SO SO SO heartwarming and inspiring to me to hear you talk about taking care of yourself

Ikr 🥺 it also inspires to see how successful she still is

[@tameashajanaye3200]

My ex was a narcissist and I’m glad I left him and he lied ALOT Never would admit to fault at all I believe my son was in danger especially since he wasn’t his father my prayers go out to Dylan’s family and I feel so bad for his mother

_children are people._ they deserve _full_ autonomy + respect. children are often wiser than us adults. *listen to children.*

[@waterfall6328]

This just breaks my heart. He didn’t want to see him. The court system fails so many kids that way. Children have the same rights as adults, to be heard and to decide who they want to see.

[@cocolime6496]

it pisses me off so much the way the courts waffle on about "the best interests for the child" and then fail children spectacularly time and time again 😡😡😡

Mark definitely looks like he smells like stale cigarettes (and shit - l haven't forgot about that part of this story).

I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It’s very hard to live life on a schedule when you can’t predict flare ups. I’m glad you are taking time for yourself bc that’s most important! ❤️

[@jessicagipson3213]

Mark's use of past tense when referring to Dylan in his interview while he was still missing is a tell-tale sign. "He WAS the light of my life and he MEANT everything to me."

I NOTICED THAT AS WELL! CHRIS WATTS VIBES

[@SpiritStoneWarrior94-yx3gs]

I could tell the second I saw that clip that he was the guilty one in all of this tbh.

[@Beatrisu]

If a kid doesn't want to be with their parent, they shouldn't have to! There is probably a reason. The system is supposed to protect kids, but all too frequently it enables abusers. It's atrocious!

[@crazymumlife8735]

Yup so true :(
