The worst you've ever heard, but not the worst case. These celebs are abusive behind closed doors. Beatings, neglect, sexual abuse. Many of them are parents, so they have someone to abuse for their occult pracrices. True fact.

She actually did very well in prison, she taught sewing classes and was called MOM due to her mentoring to the other young woman. Unbelievable and sad.

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

[@princejohn6560]

A friend of mine is a prison guard at a high security women's prison and she told me that the inhouse justice that is meted out to child abusers is predominantly a men's prison thing. For some reason it is not as big a deal in women's prison for some reason.

[@cannpdx781]

This story is what nightmares are made of, poor little Sylvia Likens. The sad truth is this was a time in our country where child abuse and child welfare was not really something anyone talked about, as it was considered a distasteful topic. No one paid a high enough penalty for what they did to this girl, nor did any of them have a good enough reason why they went along with it, nor why they never told another adult to get help for Sylvia. I hope each and every one of them had a horrible life, and met up with a worse fate in the afterlife.

[@rbsmith3365]

In 60’s life was hard and lot of poverty too.

[@elisabethhughes6005]

Too often, abusive monsters like this woman whose name I won’t even mention, rule by intimidation. The vulnerable ones around them see what becomes of the victims at the receiving end of their rage, and they choose to align with the abuser at an attempt to stay safe. It happens in abusive families regularly and heaps guilt onto the survivors later. Intimidation and fear are disgustingly effective measures of control.

[@cannpdx781]

@@elisabethhughes6005 although I agree with you, this was not the case here. I've read the old court transcripts on this case( years ago there was a movie which prompted me to do more research) at least 12 neighborhood children participated in this murder, going over to that house to torture this girl was just something you did before dinner and tv. The oldest daughter was 17 and was pregnant, and she was a evil girl . Hobbs age 11 a neighbor boy who became a major participant is suspected to have been sleeping with the mother Gertrude ( so along with being nuts she was also a pedophile apparently) Gertrude herself had 7 children, didn't work. The family pastor visited twice, she told him horrible things about Sylvia and that she had hate in her heart for the girl. They prayed together, he didn't tell the authorities, nor did he ask to see Sylvia The next door neighbors also personally saw Sylvia being beaten twice, they said nothing to no one. Another neighbor saw her pushed down and stomped in the groin, she said nothing. Sylvia's younger sister Jenny was able to contact their older sister who was married, but she just figured it was a lie. Eventually she went to the house and Gertrude threatened to call the police, she did tell Social services, they went to the house and Gertrude told the case worker that Sylvia was a whore and had ran away, the care worker never went inside. Another child DID TELL HER MOTHER, THAT SHE SAW THEM KICK SYLVIA HER MOM REPLIED, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE BAD. Countless adults, family members, neighborhood children, all saw and said nothing. There are no excuses. Evil comes in all sizes and ages Thankfully most of the neighborhood kid's who were put on trial? Died very young, they changed their names but couldn't escape their fate Unfortunately many got away with not being charged. Sylvia's younger sister died at 56. There are no excuses for any of these people, and I'm glad they are dead and not using any of my air.

[@annethomer9569]

If that was my sister I would have went to the police station and dragged them to the house and stopped it my sister would have lived or I would have tryed eveeything

[@cannpdx781]

@@annethomer9569 100 % agree as would have I. This case is a study in control and psychology of abuse. The older sister did once wait outside and tried to talk to the youngest sister, but she screamed I CAN'T TALK TO YOU and ran away. ( this is when she called social services, but she also just went home. She didn't hang around at all ) Also the parents of the 2 girls had visited twice within a month and the girls said nothing, considering the abuse started with a week, why didn't they? Because they felt they had no value? Or because they felt that was no help for them? The school saw the bruises daily as Sylvia attended school until the last 2 or 3 weeks of her life, the Likens family had a total of 5 children, Sylvia had 2 younger brothers that were left with the grandparents, why not leave the girls there as well instead of with a COMPLETE STRANGER..why was Sylvia and Jenny just treated like spare baggage you dropped off, instead of their children? Why didn't the parents face charges of abandonment of their children? At this time it was not uncommon to have kids boarded out, or have kids as young as 12 working and not going to school, yes there was laws, but most of the time they were ignored depending on where you lived. Also most of the abuse was sexual in nature, Sylvia was as a rule after being taken to the basement kept naked and most of the abuse was aimed at her private parts. Unfortunately the fact is due to the so called moral structure at that time, you just minded your business, what went on in a person's home was private. As far the control Gertrude had, the facts of this murder show that most of the abuse that actually caused Sylvia's death? Was done by children, 3 of whom were once her friends. Much like how people followed the Nazi into doing evil things without question, this is how these children acted, following the orders given by a evil crazy woman, and often the children came up with new ways to torture Sylvia when Gertrude wasn't even in the room or aware of it. ( Not that she would have stopped it) Her sister once said, she did nothing as she was afraid of if she did, the abuse would become worse. Most videos on the horrible case never give the details as KZbin most likely would pull the video or demonetize it. It's my opinion there should be a monument to Sylvia Likens in this town, to honor her and all the names of EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED SHOULD BE ENGRAVED ON IT. It doesn't matter if it was almost 70 years ago. The people of that town should never be allowed to forget.

This brings another tragic story to mind. The Japanese girl Junko Furuta who was also unimaginably tortured, raped and murdered by four boys (with yakuza gang ties), which is why they got off with light sentences. The one who got the most time was sentenced to 20 years-but only served 8 of them. To this day they are all free and living their lives and no justice was given to poor Junko Furuta or her family.

That horrible woman who did those acts should’ve been put through worse when she was in prison, she should have gotten the gas chamber. I hope there is a special place in Hell where that horrible bitch suffers punishment for what she did. Only a true demon could do those things, may her soul rot and so hopefully those who helped that demon.

I was in Indianapolis back when she was paroled. 88 or 89 whatever it was. Me and a girl was at a Myer store on the westside of Indianapolis. It was late/dark that evening. Perhaps after 10 towards 11 PM whatever the time. And as we were standing in line waiting to checkout. I look at the person whom was having her products scanned. And it was Gertrude Baniszewski. I told the girl i was with. I said. LOOK. its Gertrude. I Kept looking at her, and she knew i was starring at her. So she stop for probably a second or so and just stared back at me. We made eye contact for that short moment. But now I understand what one means when they say they looked at someone and could feel the evil. That's what i felt. Pure evil i felt when we made eye contact.

[@HORSEYANIME2024]

Rip the young girl whom was brutally beaten,tortured, and murdered 😢😢😢😢

[@choadagirl1]

In Arkansas in 1991, a girl by the name of Amy Childree was brutally murdered in a cemetery in Scott Arkansas. I'd like you to do her story. There's nothing online about her and it seems the world forgot about her. She was only 14.

[@TinaCatanese]

They made a movie of this, its absolutely sickening.

[@ohmeowzer1]

I agree with you 100% Lamont ,,never change you are a good soul

[@lornalulich9562]

Lamont, I feel same as you, they should have never gotten out of prison. Ik this story is a hard one for you certainly can tell that. I've watched the movies related to this An American crime & The Girl next door. Very horrific what was done to those girls. I've watched this channel for some time now & started with Lamont at Large. I'm not sure how I came across you but, I watched a video & was hooked. You have been my top cemetery stories I follow. Since, I use to go on cemetery walks & can no longer Im glad I found you. Be safe out there.

[@QouteTheRavenNevermore]

I watched the movie on this case about a year ago. It was sickening the abuse the girl went through. That woman was a monster!

[@patriciarhymes4492]

I think every single one of the horrible abusers should have been given the death penalty, or had to serve life in prison with no chance of parole. I was a victim of severe child abuse. Nothing was done or reported back when I was a child. After I was grown, I saw one of my Mother’s friends and she told me she never thought I would live to grow up, she thought Mother would kill me. She said all Mother’s friends used to talk about it and all thought I wouldn’t live to grow up. My question was, why didn’t someone do something?! They all remained silent, just talked about it among themselves….

[@carmenzimits4874]

Oh god I remember this story now, This monster of a woman, made my mother look like an angel. Just a sick ,sick woman. I hope where ever she is, I hope she is suffering. 😡

[@McgarickWAstate]

We got people like this running the country!

[@phoenixburns3943]

The story always bothered me. The first learned about it 5 or 6 years ago. I have family who lived near there who are older and actually remembered details about this case. I used to always drop messages to my favorite KZbin channels asking them to cover the story. There's more than what we've been told. I really appreciate you Lamont for covering it. I thought it was strange how the oldest boy died. They all got what was coming to them. I think her parents should have been held more responsible

[@Gingersnap-uv9rg]

Please tell me what happened to the teenage abusers after they got on with their lives.

[@carolyncruse5495]

The poor girl was just a damn punching bag. I hope that evil witch paid some type of way for her abuse.

[@shawnhorkheimer5267]

Nice story Lamont !- That Damn SICKO Monster Woman Ticked me off too !.. That poor girl that was treated so badly !...- Thank You Lamont for all you do, and please watchout for all the bad people I'm sure you come across so often, for Kris Crossing the states like you do, cuz we love ya out here buddy !

[@markhoezee6292]

For the life of me I can’t figure out why she was given a sentence that had the possibility of parole. I agree Lamont,the whole bunch should been locked up forever

[@DakWhite-od5yx]

They made 2 movies about it , an American crime, and the girl next door.

[@judylong841]

Lamont you are the most caring person and you have the biggest Heart . Thanks for all that you do Love you Bunches my friend ❤

[@nettricegaskins1871]

Paula had the nerve to leave jail and work in a school until word got out.

[@user-kd8hq9wp3h]

My mom is a narcissist she didn’t abuse me physically but she did emotionally and that is the same treatment in my book also 💅🏽I hope she gets deliverance from that but who knows 🤦🏽‍♀️🔥

[@truckstopmurderandtruecrim9519]

The one thing I never understood about the story of Sylvia is she had an older sister that was out of the house, I never knew why she couldn't take it to girls in, that older sister also got lost in the desert of Arizona with her husband and I survived

[@gailmiler2797]

Stephanie wasn't charged because she turned state's witness and basically threw everyone else under the bus- not that they didn't deserve it, but Sylvia's sister Jenny said during the trial that Stephanie participated in the abuse.

[@kristiefloyd3922]

Right!! I love going to cemeteries. Stopping and acknowledging those who came before. Keep them coming! You take me to cemeteries I will never see in person.

[@jameshyde1501]

Thanks! for exposing those evil ones evolved. Great!! story Lamont.

[@Thunder-acro]

This is a case that has not left my mind for many years. I find the end result of the trial to be an injustice. Release from prison should never have happened.

[@dannquan7696]

This is one of the most gruesome story I ever heard of she's more than an animal 😮

[@BreeAnnaMarie]

I remember watching the movie about Sylvia. What that poor girl went through is utterly disgusting! I will never understand how a person can do that to a child, or anyone for that matter. I know Gertrude is where she belongs.. Continue resting in peace beautiful Sylvia.
