• 1:45
  Let me say this Tonight's conversation. It's gonna get real deep. It
• 1:52
  may trigger some people, but it's imperative because this is happening far too often
• 2:04
  and I'm sick and tired of hearing about it. I'm tired of reading about
• 2:07
  it. It's people that see this and say nothing. Um, so it's
• 2:13
  time for me, heyble hey, my baby. So it's time for me
• 2:17
  to bring this conversation to the forefront. Like I said, I am going
• 2:21
  to when you go ahead and grab some clean X, because tonight's conversation,
• 2:27
  Yes, it's gonna get a little deep, a little triggering, so I'm
• 2:30
  gonna go ahead. Like I said, y'all know, I normally start my
• 2:34
  shows with something uplifting and empowering, So I'm gonna play this because I really
• 2:38
  want people to get mentally prepared for this conversation. And then we're just gonna
• 2:44
  we're gonna jump right on into it. So y'all dropping the comments, let
• 2:46
  me know how you're feeling the date, Like I said, it's Tuesday.
• 2:49
  How's your week been? How have you been these last few days? Have
• 2:53
  you been these last couple of weeks? You know, this last week.
• 2:58
  But I do want to let you know that you're mental health does matter,
• 3:01
  that you're not alone, that you don't suffer in silence. There are resources
• 3:07
  out here. If you feel like you need helpful, get it. You
• 3:12
  know, do everything you can to protect your mental You don't owe anybody anything.
• 3:16
  If you just go ghost and you stop talking to people, you don't
• 3:20
  anybody that because you have to do whatever you have to do to protect your
• 3:23
  mental peace. So that's all I'm gonna say. But for me, mentally,
• 3:30
  I'm in a good place. Mentally I am. I'm in a good
• 3:32
  space. M Yes, Father's Day is coming and it doesn't sting as much.
• 3:38
  Let me just say that it doesn't hurt as much as the first two
• 3:43
  father's Father's days. But I still have my moment. But other than that,
• 3:49
  I'm here. Um. I love you guys again. I appreciate all
• 3:52
  the love the support that you guys consistently give me each and every episode that
• 3:57
  I bring to y'all. But I told y'all I was gonna stay consistent with
• 4:00
  doing my shows. So here I am um. But again, like I
• 4:03
  said, I'm gonna go ahead and play this video because someone may need to
• 4:09
  hear this today. Someone may have needed to hear this yesterday. Someone may
• 4:12
  have needed to hear it last week. But this is for you. I
• 4:15
  love you. And then we're just after this, we're gonna get into tonight's
• 4:19
  conversation. What's stopping you? Are you tired? Think enough? Fleep?
• 4:30
  Don't have enough energy, don't have enough time? Is that what's stopping you
• 4:34
  right now? Don't have enough money? Is that the thing? Or is
• 4:42
  the thing that's stopping you? You? Excuses sound best to the person that's
• 4:51
  making a buck stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get off the pity party,
• 4:58
  telling everybody your sad, ad and solved stories, trying to get people to
• 5:01
  show up to your pity parties and your pity parades. If you ever see
• 5:06
  me in a Rose Royce, a six or seven star hotel, living my
• 5:11
  life to the fullest, don't get jealous in me, because I work my
• 5:15
  ass off to get it. Nobody handed me nothing. Wake your ass up,
• 5:25
  Awaken the beast inside. It's game one. It's a ghost season.
• 5:31
  It's time for you to take advantage of the access and the resources that you
• 5:35
  have in your country and your community. You got a problem with your life,
• 5:42
  you got a problem with your environment, Do something about it. If
• 5:46
  you want it, go get it. Recognize the excuses are not valid,
• 5:57
  they're conjured up, they're fabricated lies. Then how do you stop the lies?
• 6:02
  You stop the lies with the truth that the truth is you have time,
• 6:08
  you have the skill, you have the knowledge and the support and the
• 6:13
  willpower and the discipline to get it done. The fruit of everything good in
• 6:20
  life begins with the challenge. Everything is a pill that's good mine, and
• 6:27
  it's not going to come to you, and it's not going to fall in
• 6:30
  your lap, and it's not going to be something that, oh my god,
• 6:33
  it just was so simple. It's always going to be difficult. If
• 6:39
  you're wanting, you gotta go get This is your chance, this is your
• 6:44
  shot, this is your moment, this is your time, this is your
• 6:47
  place, this is your opportunity. That my tid, that my moment tomorrow,
• 6:53
  tomorrow tomorrow, and know that thing and formaw we only got today,
• 6:58
  and don't dream if we wanted to have Why and why you still got work
• 7:05
  to do. Stay on that basketball court, stay on that football fiel.
• 7:10
  It's grind Seaton, huh, y'all. So, like I said, every
• 7:47
  episode, y'all know, I have to play something encouraging, empowering. And
• 7:53
  I specifically told chose that video because it's grind season for me, and I
• 8:01
  want anyone that's out trying to live their dream. Don't stop. Somebody's watching
• 8:05
  you hoping that you'll fail, but when and make them drown. So that's
• 8:13
  why I show up consistently. I show up every Tuesday, Every Thursday,
• 8:18
  I show my face because I know somebody's watching. I know someone's gonna say,
• 8:22
  you know what, I'm proud of you. You didn't stop. Regardless
• 8:26
  of how many people show up and support me. I'm never gonna stop the
• 8:30
  grind, baby, The hustle never stops for me because I got three children
• 8:33
  that I gotta stand in the in the midst of this phone for you know,
• 8:35
  I gotta make it happen. So I say that to anybody, whatever
• 8:39
  dream that you have, whatever goal, whatever aspiration you have, you gotta
• 8:43
  get up and get it. No matter how many times you fall down,
• 8:50
  you gotta get back up. Don't stop all right. So, like I
• 9:01
  said, y'all dropping the comments, let me know how you're feeling. MAYBYB.
• 9:07
  How you doing, Hey Sissy, how are you all right? So
• 9:13
  tonight's conversation. So y'all know, after every show, I always say,
• 9:18
  if there's ever a topic that you want me to bring to the forefront,
• 9:22
  if there's ever something you want me to talk about that you feel I may
• 9:26
  be the best person to talk about it, send me an email. So
• 9:31
  I got an email a couple of weeks ago, make yeah, a couple
• 9:33
  of weeks ago, with regards to a particular top So I was supposed to
• 9:39
  have gone live and done this episode last week, but I had to think
• 9:48
  about my mentor because this subject is very near and dear to my heart.
• 9:56
  Anyone that knows me knows that I love children, and every day, every
• 10:01
  other day till every twenty thirty minutes, I see something that pops up with
• 10:07
  regards to a child being abused and killed. So I ask you go grab
• 10:18
  your clinic, your tissues, because, like I say, this is it's
• 10:24
  near and dear to my heart because this hits home. This hits home.
• 10:31
  Every day one and four black children are abused and killed at the hands of
• 10:39
  their parents or a loved one, whether it's a brother, whether it's a
• 10:41
  sister, mom, dad, cousin's uncle. But it's really affecting the black
• 10:48
  community the most. So I'm not saying that child abuse does not happen in
• 10:52
  the white community. It does, but with these numbers, it's affecting the
• 10:58
  Black community more than any other community in the world. Whites, Asians,
• 11:03
  Latinos, black children ranked the height. So I pulled a couple of story,
• 11:09
  a few stories that I was very familiar with, some that I followed
• 11:16
  all the way from the beginning all the way to the sentencing of the parents,
• 11:20
  and I wanted to bring those stories to you tonight. Trigger warning,
• 11:28
  there may be some conversations in these videos that may be triggering to some,
• 11:37
  but this is what happens to these children every day. Soul to the person
• 11:48
  as sent me the email, Pray for me, Pray for my mental because
• 11:56
  I know I can get through this episode. If I can talk about my
• 12:00
  story and the things that I've been through in my life, I know I
• 12:03
  can get through this one my sisters says, she says, she's feeling great.
• 12:09
  Keep pushing. I am that that I'll never stop. My hustle and
• 12:13
  my grind will never stop because I know where I'm trying to go, I
• 12:16
  know where I want to be, and no matter how many times I fall
• 12:20
  down, you know I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna keep going. So
• 12:26
  tonight's topic, it's child abuse? Is this the new epidemic, pandemic,
• 12:33
  whatever y'all want to call it? And when again, like I say,
• 12:39
  y'all, I always ask, if there's ever a topic of conversation, something
• 12:41
  you want me to talk about, send me an email. I always ask.
• 12:46
  So a young lady sent me this simply because just recently there was a
• 12:56
  six year old little girl in Bronx, New York who was ntil death by
• 13:00
  her mother. The saddest part about this story is that the neighbors heard this
• 13:09
  baby screaming for her life at two three o'clock in the morning, and not
• 13:15
  one person called the police, not one person got up to go knock on
• 13:18
  the door to see what was going on. This story really upset me because
• 13:24
  I said, how in the hell can you listen to a child begging,
• 13:33
  pleading, and screaming for her life and you do nothing. I don't get
• 13:37
  it. I don't let me relax a little bit because I don't want my
• 13:46
  blood pressure to get get all railed up. Joe sayss I told you that
• 13:52
  you could get through this show. Yeah, I'm gonna push through it.
• 13:56
  I prayed about it, and apparently God feels like I'm the person to hold
• 14:05
  this conversation, to hold his space tonight. But I want to know a
• 14:09
  child a boost. Is this the new epidemic because one in every four child
• 14:18
  is killed at the hands of their parents or a lovely a friend. I
• 14:26
  want to first say this, if this is why you're having children, stop
• 14:35
  These children do not ask to come here. These babies are innocent. What
• 14:41
  can a six year old child do that would warrant you to beat them to
• 14:46
  the point that you killed them? What can a three month old baby due
• 14:52
  to you that would warrant you to beat, beat, beat a child to
• 14:58
  the point that you kill them or you permanently injure them. I feel like
• 15:05
  every person that unlives a child, if it's a man, I feel like
• 15:09
  you should be castrated with no medication. You women that are having these children
• 15:16
  and are killing your children, I feel like you should have a hysterect to
• 15:20
  me with no anaesthesia. I feel like you should feel ever ounce a pain
• 15:24
  that you have inflicted on these children. That's the way I feel y'all should
• 15:30
  let the people handle that. Stop sending them to court, let the people,
• 15:31
  let the public handle these people. But I'm so tired of seeing these
• 15:41
  stories three year old, two year old, six year old, ten year
• 15:46
  old, three months old, eighteen months old that are being brutally brutally murdered,
• 15:54
  sexually assaulted, and abuse mistreat How could you do that. You have
• 16:04
  to be one sick ass individual to sit up there and't do that to a
• 16:08
  child. I just, for the life of me, I will never understand.
• 16:18
  The first young lady m that I want to talk about. Her name
• 16:29
  is Jelia Eason. This baby was six years old and was beaten to death
• 16:41
  by her mother. This is the young lady from the Bronx who neighbors reported
• 16:53
  hearing this child screaming for her life and then it was sided. I just
• 17:03
  don't understand. How could you do that to a child. They do not
• 17:10
  ask them, They don't y'all, These children, these babies really don't ask
• 17:25
  the company. But for you to brutalize this child in the manner that you
• 17:34
  did a high place in hell waits for This is Julia. This is the
• 17:49
  six year old that was murder at the hands of come Up. And the
• 17:57
  mother has only been charged with child welfare. I believe something like that.
• 18:03
  She hasn't even been charged with murder. There was a TikTok video where the
• 18:14
  mother was calling this baby weird and you could see the fear in this child's
• 18:19
  eyes. The baby, you could see her. She had a black eye
• 18:25
  that was healing, and she had a band aid on her forehead. This
• 18:37
  child, this child is child. Jule says, we have to stop calmly.
• 18:47
  These people are sick and call them what they truly are. These motherfuckers
• 18:49
  are evil and demanded absolutely because I really just don't understand what would warrant you,
• 18:56
  What could this child have done for you to beat her the way?
• 19:00
  And this was not the first time. When police arrived, the other two
• 19:08
  children had bruises on them as well. Here's her story and then we'll jump
• 19:22
  back into a conversation. A Bronx mother is facing charges this morning, just
• 19:27
  two days after the death of her six year old daughter. The little girl
• 19:32
  was found bruised and unresponsive in a home she shared with two other children.
• 19:36
  CBS two's Christina Fan joins us live from the Bronx with the latest on this
• 19:40
  tragic story. Christina well Doug Good Morning. The mother now faces charges of
• 19:47
  acting and a manner injurious to a child, but those charges could be upgraded
• 19:52
  once an autopsy is complete and the medical Examiner's office rules if this was a
• 19:57
  homicide. Police a twenty six year old Lanaia Eson placed the nine one one
• 20:03
  call that brought officers to the twelfth floor of the four's houses, where they
• 20:07
  found a six year old unresponsive early Friday morning. The mother claimed she was
• 20:12
  home with her three children and woke during the night to find Julia unconscious with
• 20:18
  marks on her wrist and torso. Anyone daddy at Cols enough conveal those cads
• 20:22
  from time to time. This neighbor, who lives one floor below, questioned
• 20:27
  that day if the mother was telling the full truth. She described on several
• 20:32
  occasions hearing children crying, running back and forth. Their screams at times were
• 20:37
  deafening. Anybody who's a moml last case is hardbreaking. Paramedics rushed Julia to
• 20:42
  the hospital, were less than an hour later, she was pronounced dead inside
• 20:47
  the apartment. Officers also found an eight year old boy and three year old
• 20:51
  girl. Sources say both had signs of bruising and literature marks indicating restraints.
• 20:56
  The eight year old told police his mother had hit him in the past.
• 21:00
  I'm sorry broken, this is disgusting. I don't even know her and I'm
• 21:07
  hurt. It's just really shocking. Everybody keeps to themselves here and police sources
• 21:15
  say the family's apartment was filthy and in disarray the mother. The mother also
• 21:19
  had two prior ACS cases involving the eight year old boy. Lie from the
• 21:26
  more Sania section of the Bronx Christina Fan CBS two News, Christina, thank
• 21:30
  you. That's the one part of this story that I don't understand is you
• 21:40
  take these children, you're removed. Let me let me back up. You
• 21:45
  remove these children from the home only to put them right back in the same
• 21:51
  situation that you removed them from, and nine times out attendee end up there.
• 22:00
  This woman had two cases against them for her oldest child. Why would
• 22:19
  you allow those children to go back into that situation. Yes, I get
• 22:25
  it, I understand. Before y'all jump on your soapbox, I get it.
• 22:29
  I understand. Oh, they're so backed up, and there's so many
• 22:32
  children in the system. Give those children to a family member if you don't
• 22:37
  want them. If this is the way you're gonna treat your children, give
• 22:40
  your children to somebody that's gonna take care of these children properly. There are
• 22:45
  too many people out there, are too many women out here who cannot have
• 22:48
  children, and y'all are having babies to kill them. We as a community
• 22:55
  continue to fail these children, and the system continue you to fail these children.
• 23:03
  Like I just said, one in every four child is killed at the
• 23:07
  hands of a loved one, whether it's a mother or father, or brother
• 23:11
  or sister, a cousin or uncle, somebody. But these children are being
• 23:17
  failed and I don't and what, for the life of me, I don't
• 23:22
  understand why people are not more enraged about this. This could be your child.
• 23:33
  I get it. It's not enough. Case workers. They're loads,
• 23:37
  they're they're overloaded. I get it. I totally understand. But I want
• 23:42
  to talk about the case workers that lie on their paperwork and say, oh,
• 23:48
  they've been to check on the child, and they haven't. You haven't
• 23:52
  been to see the child in six months. You haven't been to see the
• 23:56
  child in one year, but your adding your paperwork saying that you have and
• 24:03
  then the child ends up there or the child ends up permanently injured. I
• 24:15
  don't understand these neighbors. You heard this baby screaming, and you did nothing.
• 24:29
  Not only did the system fail Jalia. Not only did her mother failed
• 24:33
  Jelia, but the community failed because y'all heard this and you did nothing.
• 24:41
  You didn't call the police, you didn't get up and try to kick the
• 24:44
  door in to see what's going on. You'll hear this baby screaming, but
• 24:48
  you got up and did nothing, And now an innocent life is taken so
• 24:55
  brutally, and then two other children living in filth with bruises, and then
• 25:07
  the mother already had two previous cases against the eight year old. Jule says
• 25:14
  that ship was saying, yes, that baby was so terrified to even look
• 25:17
  in her direction, as if she felt that we're warring some form of punishment
• 25:21
  or abuse. Did you see her like It's when I saw the video,
• 25:33
  it broke my heart. I just wanted to jump through the screen and I
• 25:34
  wanted to just hold and hug and love that baby and tell her your love.
• 25:38
  You're special, You're beautiful, you're not a weird old, but here
• 25:47
  we are another baby. Take Jule says, child Protection is truly feeling these
• 25:56
  children. Absolutely, she say, meanwhile, sending them into a fucked up
• 26:00
  back into a fucked up situation, knowing that the abuse has taken place.
• 26:04
  It's sad all the way around. Absolutely, And we see this all the
• 26:10
  time. I remember hearing Houston a lot of y'all. Remember I was posting
• 26:12
  about it. Malia Davis, beautiful little girl who went missing, and the
• 26:22
  boyfriend lied and said old he was robbed and the kidnapped. But you had
• 26:26
  another child in the car with you that wasn't kidnapped, So I knew something
• 26:32
  was fishing about that story with Malia Davis. Then the mother just mysteriously was
• 26:37
  out of town for a funeral. But your child is missing. I just
• 26:48
  really refused to believe that the boyfriend acted alone in killing Malia Davis. I
• 26:57
  just refused to believe. I believe the mother was there. I believe the
• 27:00
  mother knew. I believe the mother told him take her and get rid of
• 27:06
  the body. And then you're dumped her body at the Arkansas state line,
• 27:11
  left to there. You're dumped it like she was trenched. But again,
• 27:18
  this child had just had brain surgery months prior to that, and her and
• 27:25
  her little brother were removed from the home and then once placed back a month
• 27:33
  later, after returning to the custody of the mother, Malia Davis ends up
• 27:36
  there. She ends up there. The boyfriend was sentenced to forty years,
• 27:42
  but the mother is still walking free. I'm gonna say this, and I'm
• 27:51
  gonna say it loud, and I'm gonna keep saying it. I refuse to
• 27:55
  believe that Malia Davis's mother did not have anything to do with the death of
• 28:00
  her child. I refused to believe that because you were investigating and these children
• 28:08
  were removed from your custody because Malia allegedly slipped and hit her head on the
• 28:15
  table, which warranted this baby to have to have brain surgery, and then
• 28:23
  a month prior to her being killed, she was placed back into the custody
• 28:27
  of her mother, her and her little brother. Another question that pondered me
• 28:34
  with that case was how did you not know your baby wasn't at daycare?
• 28:42
  You're paying for it, and you mean to tell me you don't know your
• 28:45
  child is not a daycare. But the daycare says they were calling the mother,
• 28:57
  Malia Davis Shaw Malia Davis. That happened here in Houston. But I
• 29:06
  want to get back to Julia Easton again. Y'all, welcome to another episode
• 29:11
  of Black Girl Interrupted tonight. I'm talking about child abuse, and I'm talking
• 29:18
  about Julia Easton. And Julia Easton, for those that don't know, was
• 29:25
  the six year old little girl from Bronx, New York that was brutally beaten
• 29:33
  to death by her mother at two to three o'clock in the morning and the
• 29:37
  neighbors heard and no one called the police. Neighbors reported hearing this baby is
• 29:44
  screaming, begging for her life, and then they said they heard a thud
• 29:52
  and it went silent. So again, you hear this, but you do
• 29:59
  nothing thing. You don't call the police, you don't get up to go
• 30:07
  knock on the door, you don't get up to try to kick in the
• 30:10
  door. But you're hearing this baby screaming and begging and pleading for a life
• 30:15
  at two three o'clock in the morning, and you do nothing. So again,
• 30:19
  not only is CPS failing these children, but we as a community of
• 30:25
  failing these children. You hear something, why didn't you get up, Maybe
• 30:30
  you could have saved this baby's life. When is this gonna stop? When
• 30:47
  is this gonna stop? If you are a parent and you don't want the
• 30:56
  child, give the child to a love sign your right soul, give you
• 31:04
  a baby a chance because some of your parents out here aren't. These babies
• 31:10
  don't even have a fighting chance with you. You're you're killing these babies at
• 31:14
  three months old. You're killing babies at eighteen months old. You're killing these
• 31:18
  kids at ten years old. Why what the fuck is wrong with you?
• 31:22
  Like, I'm let me, let me, let me calm down, because
• 31:26
  I really don't want my blood pressure to get up. But I see this
• 31:33
  constantly. I see these stories come across my timeline. I see these stories
• 31:41
  come across on TikTok, beautiful children, so innocent, so pure, who
• 31:49
  haven't even had a chance to live life because it's violently taken away from them
• 31:56
  at the hands of a monster. Yes, children cry, Yes, babies
• 32:01
  are gonna get on your nerves. Yes, kids are gonna, they're gonna,
• 32:05
  They're gonna ask a million and ninety nine questions. But that doesn't warrant
• 32:09
  you to put your hands on them and brutally kill them, essentially assault them,
• 32:15
  or permanently disable these children because you don't know how to control your emotions.
• 32:20
  You don't know how to control your temper. If that's the case,
• 32:25
  get your ass up and go walk out the door. Give these babies a
• 32:30
  fighting chance. They could be the next president something. But you're not giving
• 32:37
  them a chance. And then the manner that y'all are killing these children is
• 32:44
  sick. I really honestly feel that I'm gonna say this, and I'm saying
• 32:47
  this with my chest out. I just won't give it. Five minutes with
• 32:53
  one, just five minutes with with with a child abusive. Please give me
• 33:00
  one one, just five minutes, just just in a room, just because
• 33:06
  I want you to feel the same amount of pain that you inflict on these
• 33:07
  children. That's all I want. I want you to feel that. I
• 33:10
  want you to know what this feels like to these children, what you've done
• 33:15
  to these babies. Again, they don't ask that they're innocent, but this
• 33:20
  is what y'all do. And I'm so passionate about that because I'm a victim
• 33:25
  of child abuse. Yeah i am. My father beat me to the point
• 33:34
  I ended up in the emergency room and CPS got involved. Yeah, my
• 33:38
  story. That's why this is so near and dear and passionate to my heart,
• 33:46
  because I have three children, and I understand it's overwhelming. I get
• 33:51
  it parents. I know they climb, they won't stop. I know,
• 33:55
  I get it, shaking them and beating them. It's not the answer that
• 34:08
  goes hand in hand postpartum depression. Look at Andrea Yates, she killed all
• 34:17
  five of her children. No one cares. We fell these children daily,
• 34:29
  We fell each other daily. Again, these babies do not ask to come
• 34:37
  here, they don't. You gotta be a sick, twisted individual to sexually
• 34:46
  assault a child and to enjoy it. The sickening to me. I wish
• 35:00
  I could say what I want to say to pet. I don't want to
• 35:07
  get blocked, so I'm I'm gonna hold those thoughts in my mind. Julia
• 35:15
  Easton y'all six years old from Bronx, New York kill. Another child failed
• 35:23
  by a system, another child just let down, helpless. And then two
• 35:37
  other children involved as well, two other babies eight and I believe the other
• 35:45
  child was three. Yeah, but they did nothing, and that innocent baby
• 35:54
  lost her life for what. M Let me take five seconds because I have
• 36:07
  to decompress because have another story. And I followed this story from the beginning
• 36:21
  to the end. Mhm. The next young lady, her name is Hawaii
• 36:37
  Robinson. She's from Mobile, Alabama. The beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
• 36:52
  viciously taken from us. This story here, when I tell you, made
• 37:01
  me sick in my stomach. For those that don't know, Hawaii Washington,
• 37:09
  I'm sorry, Hawaii Robinson. I believe she was eight, was brutally raped
• 37:22
  and killed, and you'll never ever believe who did this. For those tuning
• 37:38
  in, y'all, welcome to another episode of Black Girl Interrupted. Y'all already
• 37:43
  know it's your girl, Ash and tonight I'm talking about child abuse. Is
• 37:47
  this the new epidemic? Because it seems to be happening every day. I'm
• 37:57
  now moving on to Hawaii Robinson, who was from Mobile, Alabama. She
• 38:00
  was labeled the Pritchet Alabama Princess. I believe she was eight who was brutally
• 38:09
  sodomized and killed. Let me play her story and then we'll jump back into
• 38:21
  the conversation. But an entire community wants to know what happened to this little
• 38:28
  girl and who did it. It's been two weeks since Hawaii's body was found.
• 38:31
  Here's a look back at how we got to this point. The frantic
• 38:37
  and desperate search for eight year old Hawaiian Robinson started on September sixteenth. She
• 38:43
  vanished after leaving her family's Pritchet apartment that Tuesday afternoon. Hawaii's mother said she
• 38:49
  came home from school, changed clothes, called her dad, and then left
• 38:52
  to go see her cousin, who only lived the next breezeway over. Sadly,
• 38:59
  she never made it air. In this surveillance video, we see Hawaii
• 39:02
  buying candy at a convenience store just three blocks away from her apartment. The
• 39:07
  time here four or four PM. Investigators believe that was the last time the
• 39:14
  little girl was seen alive. She got a lot of love. Everybody is
• 39:19
  hoping for a return. We just want to have a bang record show that
• 39:23
  call to nine one one came in just hours after she disappeared at nine to
• 39:28
  fifty eight pm. No Amber alert was issued. Police claim the guidelines were
• 39:34
  not met in this case. We don't have any indication that she was abducted.
• 39:37
  The next day, hundreds of volunteers, the Pritcher Police Department, US
• 39:42
  Marshals and the FBI searched by air by K nine and foot. Around that
• 39:49
  time, the parents came out to thank the community for their support and to
• 39:52
  beg for the safe return of their precious little girl. Following day came the
• 40:00
  news no one wanted to hear. A wise body had been found behind a
• 40:06
  nearby abandoned building near Rebel Road. The public's works employee who made the discovery
• 40:12
  said she was naked, lying on her back, face up, and in
• 40:15
  a pile of trash, just two days after the third grader was reported missing,
• 40:22
  You did. The only hint of what might have happened to her came
• 40:31
  hours before the discovery of a wise body. That's when during this press conference,
• 40:37
  FBI agent said they believe she might have been taken across state lines and
• 40:40
  we're looking for like she's our very own daughter. Then came the call to
• 40:45
  find this person of interest, a woman who was seen standing behind Hawaii inside
• 40:50
  that convenient store. After questioning police, said she had nothing to do with
• 40:53
  a disappearance. It was the last time investigators would talk about the case,
• 41:00
  but the community spoke in a huge outpouring of emotions. This memorial filled with
• 41:07
  teddy bears, flowers and pictures was made where her wise body was found.
• 41:12
  Over the weekend, visitation was held for Hawaii at Mount Hebrew Church. She
• 41:16
  was laid to rest this past Saturday, September twenty seventh. There was a
• 41:22
  standing room only crowd for her final going home and rewards now total twenty three
• 41:29
  thousand dollars. If you know anything, even if you think it's something small,
• 41:32
  that one clue could be the missing link, call a telephone number on
• 41:37
  your screen. It is one eight hundred call FBI. Jule says, I
• 41:49
  can only wish that s firm don its being repeatedly sodomized on a daily basis,
• 41:52
  Absolutely, Abbe, I hope you're having a good night edwork. I
• 41:59
  love you so. Hawaii Robinson was discovered two days after she went missing.
• 42:13
  The saddest part about this story is you saw the mother and the father pleading
• 42:19
  and begging with the community to return Hawaii Robinson, only to find out,
• 42:29
  I believe, two weeks after her funeral, her father was arrested for the
• 42:38
  murder and sodomizing of his daughter. When I tell you this story right here
• 42:52
  had me sick. I followed it all the way from the beginning to the
• 42:54
  end. How could you, as a father sodomize and kill your child?
• 43:21
  And I did not want to post the reports, so let me say this
• 43:25
  trigger warning. This baby died while she was being sodomized by her father.
• 43:37
  Her autopsy showed that you men are supposed to protect us, you're not supposed
• 43:51
  to let harm come our weight. But you, sir, you took your
• 44:01
  daughter. You brutally sodomized this baby to the point where she died in the
• 44:10
  middle of the act. And then you threw a body away like she was
• 44:15
  trashed. And then you got your ass in front of the camera. Not
• 44:20
  once you're rolling down your face begging for the community to help you bring your
• 44:24
  daughter back home. You are sick, sick, sick sick. You are
• 44:34
  demonic, you are full of the devil for you, how could you stand
• 44:45
  in front of a camera and you're begging with a community to help you find
• 44:50
  your daughter, and all the while you're the one that killed her. That's
• 44:54
  sick. And then you threw a body out like she was trained. You're
• 45:07
  left to where she was. So you took out to this field and you're
• 45:14
  left for there. You're rightists, Julee says, please stop referring to that
• 45:27
  demon as a father, because he does not deserve that title. You're right,
• 45:30
  Sisty, But the person that gave the sperm to her mother for this
• 45:37
  baby to be to come into this world, you took her and you,
• 45:44
  y'all, are supposed to protect your daughters. You're supposed to protect your children.
• 45:46
  Y'all are the protectors. Mothers were the nurturers. The fathers are the
• 45:51
  protectors. I'm not saying moms don't protect, because we do, but the
• 45:55
  father, because you're our first up. You're the first man to show us
• 46:02
  how we're supposed to be treated. And what you did to Hawaiian Robinson,
• 46:12
  I hope you're never sleep a piece for night as long as you live,
• 46:15
  as long as you breathe the same as that I'm breathing, I hope you
• 46:20
  are repeatedly violated the way you violated this beautiful eight year old child who could
• 46:27
  have been anything she wanted in the world. But you know what, you
• 46:29
  decided. Excuse me to perpetuate your sick and twisted sexual pleasure or whatever you
• 46:37
  wanna call it on this child that shared your DNA heller don't even matter if
• 46:45
  she shared your DNA or otherwise. You shouldn't have did it if you felt
• 46:52
  that way, If you had that stronger her urth, you should have got
• 46:54
  you a blow up dog. You should have went and took that the punk
• 46:58
  ass farted dollars and bought you some cat. If too many women, if
• 47:01
  too many people out here, that's selling it, and you choose to take
• 47:06
  him from an eight year old child. And forgive me, y'all, I'm
• 47:10
  not you know, I don't want your to feel like I'm co signing for
• 47:15
  what he did. But it's it's it's people eight years old. This baby
• 47:28
  was eight, y'all, eight eight years old. Look at her, y'all.
• 47:35
  That that could have been your daughter, that could have been your niece,
• 47:37
  that could have been your sister. You should be enraged by this.
• 47:43
  This should upset you to know that this happens. This happened in Mobile,
• 47:52
  Alabama. I'm so I'm sorry Pritchard, Alabama, which is right outside of
• 47:54
  Mobile. This is where that's happened. And then got the daddy on TV.
• 48:01
  I'm so sorry, the sperm donor on TV buollhound him and pleading with
• 48:07
  the community all please help me find my daughter. But all the while you're
• 48:10
  the one that killed her. You knew where her body was, You knew
• 48:16
  where she was. But it was a beautiful thing when they showed up to
• 48:22
  his door with the warrant, because on the camera, once he got home,
• 48:31
  he hurried up and he's washing his clothes. So you come home like
• 48:40
  nothing. You've brutally sodomized your daughter to the point where she dies, and
• 48:49
  you go home like nothing. Then you get on national TV begging and pleading
• 48:55
  with the community. Oh my god, please help me find my daughter.
• 48:58
  Please help me find my daughter. This is what you do. But when
• 49:01
  I went back and I looked at the video, not one ted was rolling
• 49:05
  down your face. So you weren't. You aren't sad. That was a
• 49:09
  front. You are fake. And I hope that those inmates in prison know
• 49:17
  exactly what you did. I hope they know. I hope you are repeatedly
• 49:25
  and savagely brutalized. I hope you are. I want you to feel the
• 49:34
  same exact pain that you inflicted on eight year old Hawaiian Robinson. That's what
• 49:38
  I want you to do. I want you to feel that. I hope
• 49:45
  every time you close your eyes that played that replays in your mind. I
• 49:52
  hope it haunts you for the rest of your life. I hope they I
• 49:59
  hope it does. And the manner that they found this baby in absolutely devastating,
• 50:08
  absolutely heartbreaking that you could do this to a human, let along a
• 50:17
  child defenseless who could do nothing. Hawaii Robinson, eight year old from Pritchard,
• 50:38
  Alabama, who is brutally taken from this earth at the hands of the
• 50:45
  very same man she shares DNA with. I just want to take a moment
• 51:01
  to decompress. And again, y'all, welcome to another episode. A Black
• 51:08
  Girl interrupted. Thank y'all so much for tuning in. Thank y'all for loving
• 51:13
  and supporting me the way that y'all do. And tonight's episode, I'm talking
• 51:21
  about child abuse. Is this a new epidemic? And maybe epidemic may not
• 51:30
  have been the right word to use, but this just seems to be happening
• 51:37
  every day. Every time you turn on the news, every time you get
• 51:38
  on social media, you see a post about a mom doing this to a
• 51:43
  child, a father doing this to a child, a brother or sister,
• 51:45
  somebody harming a child. Again, this was a viewers request topic and she
• 52:04
  didn't specifically say who, so I grabbed some stories that I knew that I
• 52:08
  was familiar with, some stories that I had followed and still checking from time
• 52:14
  to time. Why a lot of y'all just don't even understand that black children
• 52:25
  are suffering at higher rates of abuse, higher than white children, Asian children,
• 52:35
  Latino children. Yeah, and it says according to the Department of Health
• 52:45
  and Human Services, black children were three times more likely to die from abuse
• 52:52
  or neglect than white children. And you know, the blacks, we only
• 53:00
  make a make up a small percentage of the population. So black children are
• 53:07
  three times more likely to die from abuse or neglect than white children. That
• 53:17
  should upset you, That should really piss you off to know that these children
• 53:27
  are being filled daily. I understand CPS their caseload, I get it,
• 53:34
  it's overwhelming. But I want to address the ones that are patting their paperwork,
• 53:38
  that are lying and saying, oh, they've been out to check on
• 53:40
  the child, and you haven't. You haven't been to see the child in
• 53:45
  six months, you haven't been to see the child in a year, maybe
• 53:49
  two years, and then the child ends up there, all because you failed
• 53:57
  to do your job, all because you failed to follow up, all because
• 54:02
  y'all take these children away. Let me let me back up. Y'all remove
• 54:08
  these children from these families, only to put them back in the same situation
• 54:14
  two three months later, or you put them with a falseter parent, and
• 54:20
  it's even worse with a falseter parent. What do we do, America?
• 54:25
  What do we do as a community to stop this? What do we do
• 54:37
  if you see or hear reported that's just like Julia Easton her situation. The
• 54:47
  neighbors heard this baby screaming and begging for her life and did nothing. The
• 54:55
  mother had two previous ACS cases against them for her eight year old child.
• 55:01
  But you put the child back in the same situation that you fought to remove
• 55:06
  them from. I don't get it. Make me understand what these babies have
• 55:21
  done to you to make you want to kill him. It says seventy seven
• 55:32
  percent of abuse of abuse among Black children occurred in children zero to five years
• 55:38
  of age, sixty one percent of black children abused by biological parents, and
• 55:45
  then six hundred and fifty six thousand victims of child abuse slash neglect Nation Why
• 55:55
  six hundred and fifty six thousand of child abuse and neglect seventy seven percent of
• 56:19
  abuse among Black children occurred in children zero to five years of age. Zero
• 56:28
  to five years of age. Sixty one percent of Black children are abused by
• 56:39
  biological parents. And then six hundred and fifty six thousand victims of child abuse
• 56:55
  and neglect nationwide. That's a lot of babies, y'all. That's a lot
• 57:09
  of babies. Six hundred and fifty six thousand. Why I'm sitting here and
• 57:37
  my heart is aching as I sit here and do this story and talk about
• 57:44
  these babies that are no longer here with us. Excuse me? Why?
• 57:58
  How could you? How could you? I'm gonna save this next little girl
• 58:08
  for the end. And I want to address two more stories that I pulled
• 58:24
  that happened just recently within a week's span. This first story is in Atlanta,
• 58:39
  Clayton County, and then the next story is in South Carolina. So
• 58:45
  I want to address this story first and then I'll go to the second one.
• 58:52
  So again they have not released as young man's name because he's a miner.
• 58:58
  But this is in Atlanta, this is in Clayton County, I believe,
• 59:00
  I believe it was in Clayton County. But here we go. A
• 59:05
  mother and her boyfriend are behind Barston I charged with the brutal abuse of a
• 59:08
  six year old. Clayton County Police say the little boy spent days without medical
• 59:14
  attention and has severe injuries. Fox Earns Eric Perry was the only reporter there
• 59:17
  as the child's mother was taken to jail. This is a story that has
• 59:23
  even angered Clayton County police and investigators. They led Porsche Wells out of this
• 59:29
  door, into a patrol car, off to jail while her six year old
• 59:32
  son fights for his life in a hospital. There any peo people like to
• 59:37
  say? Nothing at all? Complete silence from a handcuffed Porsche Wells as Clayton
• 59:43
  County police escorted her out of the police department, into a patrol car and
• 59:46
  off to jail. Wells and her boyfriend, Napoleon Eights, faced several charges
• 59:51
  and the abuse of his six year old. He was plunging the six year
• 59:55
  old like he was a grown man. Julia Isaac with Clayton County Police say
• 1:00:00
  they initially got the call to a Metro Atlanta hospital as the child was unresponsive
• 1:00:06
  and unconscious, brought in by his mother. Napoleon Eights to believe that the
• 1:00:10
  six year old stole eighty dollars from him and gave it to his roommate.
• 1:00:15
  Police believe that was Sunday and say the child was severely beaten for days until
• 1:00:19
  his mom took him to the hospital Tuesday. Wells initially told police she wasn't
• 1:00:23
  theory during the time of the assault, but say she changed her story and
• 1:00:28
  stood by as her child was beaten. She went about her daily life,
• 1:00:32
  she went to work, she went and got her nails. Horrible, horrible
• 1:00:39
  what this baby had to endure. Wells and eights faced several child cruelty and
• 1:00:45
  battery charges. Wells has an additional charge of line to police has for the
• 1:00:50
  six year old. He needs your prayers. The six year old is currently
• 1:00:53
  suffering from a brain blee, a blood clots of the lung, several broken
• 1:01:02
  bones. And there is yet another person impacted by all of this. I'm
• 1:01:07
  told Porsche Wells had another child, in eight year old inside of that house
• 1:01:09
  who's now been handed over to the state in Clayton County. I'm Eric Perry,
• 1:01:14
  Fox five News. Let me say this to you women and to you
• 1:01:28
  men, y'all need to be mindful about who the hell you'll leave your children
• 1:01:30
  around. Because see a lot of y'all stand around and y'all co sign on
• 1:01:35
  this bullshit that these that these men and women do to your children. You
• 1:01:40
  allow this man to brutally beat your child, punching your child in the chest,
• 1:01:47
  all because he thought the baby stole eighty dollars out of his watch.
• 1:01:52
  You went to work, You want to get your nails and your feet done,
• 1:01:59
  but you take your child to the hospital. You are a piss part
• 1:02:07
  excuse for a woman and a piss part excuse for a mother. I understand
• 1:02:14
  you women. Let me let me address you women, because then I'm a
• 1:02:15
  double back to you men. Okay, but let me address you women.
• 1:02:20
  You women are so fucking desperate to have a man in your house that you
• 1:02:25
  allow them to abuse your children and you're stand by and you say nothing.
• 1:02:32
  We see this far too often. These women get these men that are abusive
• 1:02:38
  to their children and you know they are, and you'll stay with them.
• 1:02:45
  You are sad, you are sick, and you are fucked up in the
• 1:02:49
  head. Let me just go ahead and say it, because I'm Frena.
• 1:02:52
  Get on my soap box now, because this story really piss me off.
• 1:02:55
  Because we see this far too often, like I say, you women,
• 1:03:00
  y'all are put in any man in the bed with you just to say you
• 1:03:02
  got a man at the expense of your child or your children. Half the
• 1:03:07
  time, you women know that these these men are beating your child or they're
• 1:03:12
  molesting your children, and you say nothing because you know what, you don't
• 1:03:15
  want to be by yourself. You need to go get some therapy for that,
• 1:03:17
  because you are sick. You are sick, you are deranged, and
• 1:03:22
  you got a fucking problem, y'all. I'm so sorry to get so vulgar
• 1:03:28
  like that. But and then to you men, because these women out here
• 1:03:34
  killing these kids too. I remember the story. What was that a couple
• 1:03:38
  of months ago the girlfriend killed her boyfriend. The wife killed the husband's daughter
• 1:03:45
  and stuffed the baby in a trash can and drug cut down the street and
• 1:03:47
  pulls it up in front of her MoMA house. You men need to be
• 1:03:52
  mindful about these women that you let in your house and in your bed and
• 1:03:54
  around your children, because a lot of these women are jealous of the relationship
• 1:03:59
  you have with your children, or the jealous of the relationship that you have
• 1:04:01
  with the child or the children's mother. So guess what they're going they kill
• 1:04:05
  the child to spite you all, because they don't like the type of relationship
• 1:04:11
  you have with the child, with the mother of your child or your children.
• 1:04:15
  Y'all need to start doing background checks. Y'all need to start listening to
• 1:04:19
  your children. If your child comes to you and says so and so,
• 1:04:23
  it's being mean to me, or they touch me or they hit me,
• 1:04:26
  you need to start listening to your children and stop listening to these men or
• 1:04:29
  these women that you know ain't gonna be permanent fictures in your life anyway.
• 1:04:32
  They're just a warm space in your bed right now. Oh, let me
• 1:04:41
  calm down a little bit, because, oh, let me take a deep
• 1:04:45
  breath, because we see this. We see this all the time. These
• 1:04:57
  women. You want to you don't want to be alone, You want to
• 1:05:02
  have a man in your house, but you do it at the expense of
• 1:05:04
  your child. And I'm gonna say that your child has to suffer, and
• 1:05:10
  you stand by and say nothing, and you do nothing. I remember the
• 1:05:14
  little boy in California. His name was his name, no, not Juniorum.
• 1:05:18
  What is that baby's name? I have what is his name? Because
• 1:05:24
  there's a documentary about him on Netflix. But he was a Hispanic little boy
• 1:05:30
  out of California who was beaten by the mom's boyfriend, was starved, was
• 1:05:36
  hidden, the just just brutally abused to the point he died. And through
• 1:05:50
  all of that he would go to school with bruises, still telling his mommy
• 1:05:58
  loved him, he loved they were making me kitty letter. Everything. The
• 1:06:04
  system failed him. So these are the stories that we see daily, ladies
• 1:06:14
  and gentlemen. This is what we see. But what do we do to
• 1:06:20
  fix it? What do we do? How do we fix a broken system?
• 1:06:28
  How do we fix a system that consistently fails these children on a daily
• 1:06:32
  basis? You remove them from these unsafe environments, only to put them right
• 1:06:40
  back in the end up dead, only for them to end up dead.
• 1:06:51
  And then all you could say is, oh, my caseload, my caseload.
• 1:06:56
  But you're also patting your paperwork as well. And I'm gonna say that
• 1:07:00
  because you're lying insane that you went and you checked on the child and you
• 1:07:06
  know you're having Then you have these parents. If you don't want the child,
• 1:07:23
  give that baby to somebody that does. There are so many women out
• 1:07:29
  here, so many men out here that would love to be parents and get
• 1:07:35
  here. You are killing them because they won't stop crying, because they're asking
• 1:07:44
  you too many questions. These poor, helpless, defenseless, precious gifts are
• 1:08:01
  being so brutally taken from us. I don't even think there's there's enough room
• 1:08:15
  in hell for y'all to fit. I just, I just, I really
• 1:08:27
  don't get it. Jul says, I think his name was George. I
• 1:08:33
  don't know if it was George. Yeah, because Netflix did do a documentary
• 1:08:39
  on he was Hispanic hute little boy and the mom just got sentenced, I
• 1:08:44
  want to say a couple of years ago because the um the family because the
• 1:08:49
  little boy was staying with the uncle at first, and then the uncle the
• 1:08:54
  mom wanted wanted the child back, so they gave the child back to the
• 1:08:58
  mom. And the boyfriend was abusive to only him. He wasn't abusive to
• 1:09:02
  the other children, because I believe she had three or four other children in
• 1:09:05
  the home, but he was the only one that was being abused. And
• 1:09:10
  uh, I remember they filed the lawsuit against CPS in the state of California.
• 1:09:16
  I believe it was in La County and they lost. They lost the
• 1:09:20
  lawsuit against the workers, the CPS workers that were assigned to this baby's gates.
• 1:09:28
  Um, his name is gonna come to me. I know it is.
• 1:09:31
  But when you go back and like I said, these children are innocent,
• 1:09:44
  the system fails we as a community, we fail these children. And
• 1:09:50
  yes, I'm gonna keep saying that because that's what happens. But what do
• 1:09:56
  we do, ladies and gentlemen, what do we do? How how do
• 1:10:00
  we curtail this problem? What do we do? How do we stop this
• 1:10:05
  from happening? If you hear something, if you know something, y'all reported
• 1:10:15
  shit, go go take action. I mean, let me say this.
• 1:10:18
  If I know that a child is being abused, I just have to take
• 1:10:24
  that charge. Baby, I just have to go to jail for kidnapping or
• 1:10:26
  something. I just have to take the charge. Anything to get the baby
• 1:10:29
  out of that situation. I'll just have to take that charge. Yes,
• 1:10:34
  since that's it. They had them living in a Jewels says. They had
• 1:10:38
  them living in a cabinet or something like that. I know it's a small
• 1:10:41
  space that they were putting that baby in all day and night, right because
• 1:10:44
  they were they used to. They were making me kitty litter. They were
• 1:10:46
  making me at litter um and he was beating so bad and I remember that
• 1:10:54
  it shaved his head off. And he went to school and the teachers were
• 1:10:59
  reported it and and the CPS never came and did anything about because they would
• 1:11:04
  lie and say, oh, he was clumsy, and they would try to
• 1:11:06
  get they would co worse the siblings to say that the little boy was clumsy
• 1:11:11
  and he would fall down and he would hurt himself. Uh but yeah,
• 1:11:15
  that's the one. That's the one, huge, little Hispanic boy. And
• 1:11:17
  for Mother's Day he drew a picture for his mother and was like, Mommy,
• 1:11:23
  I love you. Um because one of the girls that he was really
• 1:11:28
  good friends with was a little he was friends with a little black girl who
• 1:11:31
  talked about that despite him coming to school with the bruces and the black eyes,
• 1:11:35
  he was still smiling. He was still a happy child. Uh.
• 1:11:41
  So, yeah, that's that's the one. I can't think of that baby's
• 1:11:43
  name, but I know it's gonna come to me. But again, this
• 1:11:50
  other young lady, I want to save her for the end because this baby
• 1:11:55
  here, y'all just don't even know this. This baby touched my heart.
• 1:11:59
  And the way the father acted, man if I could have hugged the day,
• 1:12:08
  if I could have just hugged the day. But here's another story.
• 1:12:14
  This is out of South Carolina. This actually happened last week where Jessee,
• 1:12:21
  and we'll talk about it tonight. Beauford County Depanties tell us they're investigating after
• 1:12:29
  thirties say that a mother drowned her six year old and then attempted to drown
• 1:12:32
  her eight year old as her Andyico reports it was their sister who told the
• 1:12:38
  thirties about this horrific crime. Sheriff PJ. Tanner has been in law enforcement
• 1:12:43
  for forty three years. He says he has never seen a case like this,
• 1:12:46
  calling it horrific. Typically, mothers do not kill their children. It
• 1:12:53
  happened just before one thirty Friday morning. A sixteen year old was awoken by
• 1:12:58
  a scream from her It is not a typical situation, according to Buford Sheriff
• 1:13:03
  PJ. Tanner. She ran into a bathroom and saw her mother attempting to
• 1:13:08
  drown her eight year old sister. The sixteen year old grabbed her sister,
• 1:13:13
  escaped the house off Sam Doyle Drive, and called nine one one. Deputies
• 1:13:16
  responded in eight minutes. As we conducted the protective sweet we found a six
• 1:13:23
  year old victim in the home. Deceased. Investigators say thirty seven year old
• 1:13:30
  Jamie Bradley Brunn drowned her six year old and attempted to drown her eight year
• 1:13:34
  old. She's been charged with murder and attempted murder. Do you'll have any
• 1:13:39
  sort of sense of why this happened, because mothers don't kill their kids.
• 1:13:46
  I can. It's more than a sense. I mean, I know what
• 1:13:50
  happened, and it's pretty horrific. Sheriff Tanner is thankful for the bravery displayed
• 1:13:58
  by the sixteen year old who her sister being drowned by her mother and immediately
• 1:14:02
  called nine one. This sixteen year old sister. Very proud of her.
• 1:14:11
  I think I think she did an unbelievable job. She defend She defended her
• 1:14:16
  family when when no one else was available to do so until we got there.
• 1:14:21
  So again, I thought her courage is amazing. Neighbors we talked to
• 1:14:27
  are asking the community to pray, to pray for the children, to pray
• 1:14:30
  for the family, and to pray for the mother reporting in Buford, I'm
• 1:14:35
  Andy Cole to b jc L twenty two News so you have a mother will
• 1:14:53
  drown one child and attempted to drown another baby. I'm not praying for the
• 1:15:04
  mother. I'm not praying for you. I'm praying for the baby that you
• 1:15:14
  took. I'm praying for the baby that you attempted to take. But I'm
• 1:15:20
  also praying for your sixteen year old daughter who had to come in and stop
• 1:15:27
  you from drowning your other child. You had already killed one, you are
• 1:15:38
  attempting to kill another. I'm gonna be honest with you, when when I
• 1:15:45
  read the story, when I saw it, and when I looked at this
• 1:15:47
  woman, she looks like she's mentally disturbed. Mental illness is real, you
• 1:15:56
  know, no matter how much y'all try to slice the bread, mental illness
• 1:16:00
  is real, and she looks like she's mentally unstable. But one thing I
• 1:16:06
  want to give this deputy some pushback on is for him to say women don't
• 1:16:11
  kill their children. Yes, they do. You're in South Carolina. You
• 1:16:14
  remember Susan Smith. Y'all remember the lady that that strapped her two boys into
• 1:16:19
  the car and drove her car off into the lake and lied and said a
• 1:16:23
  black man, two black men kidnapped her children. And come to find out
• 1:16:29
  it was her all because the new man she was dating didn't want children.
• 1:16:38
  Let's talk about the lady in Detroit, Michigan who killed two of her four
• 1:16:43
  children and stuffed their bodies in a deep freezon. The list goes on and
• 1:16:58
  on and on. So Sheriff, I'm giving you some pushback on that,
• 1:17:02
  because stop seeing women don't kill their children because they do. Andrew rate rate
• 1:17:08
  Yates, I'm so sorry Andrew Yates killed off five of her children. She
• 1:17:16
  did, so stop seeing women don't kill their children because they do, just
• 1:17:24
  like y'all try to say women weren't predators, sexual predators, and we know
• 1:17:28
  who they are. But I've already had that conversation. But these children,
• 1:17:44
  this is getting out of hand, ladies and gentlemen. This this is what
• 1:17:54
  do we do? What do we do? What's a solution to this now?
• 1:18:03
  Because we're seeing this far too often. How do we fix a system
• 1:18:19
  that consistently fails these little black boys and little black girls. We're already trying
• 1:18:30
  to battle and tackle mental illness. Then you add police brutality on top of
• 1:18:38
  that, then you add child abuse on top of that, then you add
• 1:18:45
  poverty on top of that, and I'm only speaking about the black community.
• 1:18:55
  What do we do? How do we fix this? I just I gotta
• 1:19:13
  take all of this in as I going to this last story for the night.
• 1:19:34
  This baby here, her name is Anaya day Gary Oh. This baby
• 1:19:45
  was four years old from euclid, Ohio who was being abused at the hands
• 1:19:58
  of not only her mother, but her mother's boy friend. I want to
• 1:20:03
  say a week or so prior to the custody hearing, because the father was
• 1:20:10
  fighting to get custody of this baby, she dies. This baby died of
• 1:20:17
  a stress induced stroke. I saved this one for last because this one hurt
• 1:20:32
  me the most. It's because you had a father who was fighting to get
• 1:20:45
  custody of his baby. The baby would say she didn't want to go home,
• 1:20:56
  she wanted to stay with her daddy. She died. Anaya de Garrett
• 1:21:09
  was four years old and didn't stand a fighting chance. Again, I say
• 1:21:30
  this one for the end because, like I said, this one touched me
• 1:21:32
  for most because you had a father that was out here fighting for custody of
• 1:21:41
  his child. He knew the baby was being abused. People say, oh,
• 1:21:46
  why didn't he just kidnap or why didn't he keep her because he didn't
• 1:21:51
  want to ruin the risk of getting custody of a child. Here's the story
• 1:22:00
  of Big Year Element Tonight at six, I'm five on your side, Investigator
• 1:22:04
  Sarah Butterson. A large bruise on her left eye, burns on her feet
• 1:22:10
  and legs, fingers so thin you could actually see her joints. That's how
• 1:22:15
  police described the body of four year old Anaya Day when they found her lifeless
• 1:22:19
  in her Euclid home on Sunday. Anaya's mother and her boyfriend were arrested for
• 1:22:25
  her death. We found public record showing the abuse have been going on for
• 1:22:29
  quite some time. His five's Amanda van Allen has been digging through the paperwork
• 1:22:32
  and Amanda, this abuse was documented by several agencies. It was incredibly well
• 1:22:39
  documented for over a year and a half. Case after case was opened by
• 1:22:45
  Family and Children's Services and then closed. The question now is did the system
• 1:22:49
  fail little Anaya Day? A young life taken too soon? Four year old
• 1:22:57
  Anaya Day was killed over the weekend, and police say it was at the
• 1:23:00
  hands of her own mother, Sierra Day, and her mother's boyfriend, Diante
• 1:23:04
  Lewis, in their euclid home. Here's the nine one one called Day May
• 1:23:09
  to police when Annaia died. Three and a half minutes into the conversation,
• 1:23:14
  and she finally tells the dispatcher very calmly, the four year old is unresponsive,
• 1:23:18
  like I put my hands up to her nose to see if she want
• 1:23:23
  breathing, not in fee an, no ear coming out, like she got
• 1:23:25
  her eye open. Wait a minute, is she not breathing? No,
• 1:23:30
  your child is not breathing. No, okay, let's do CPR. Then
• 1:23:36
  authority say Day was abusing her daughter for about a year and a half.
• 1:23:41
  These police records show documentation of the alleged abuse. They're all from Annia's daycare.
• 1:23:46
  They wrote down and dated every single incident, from busted lips to bumps
• 1:23:51
  on her forehead to a hand imprint on the side of her face. All
• 1:23:56
  of these reports went to Children and Family Services. The agency looked into them
• 1:24:00
  and close the cases, but no one knows why. News five called an
• 1:24:05
  email CFS, but we haven't heard back. A house visit was planned for
• 1:24:10
  Monday, but the four year old was killed before a case worker could get
• 1:24:14
  there. When kids play, they fall, they hurt their cells on their
• 1:24:16
  knees, their chin, their elbow, the bony parts of the body.
• 1:24:20
  But when you see injuries on the fleshy parts of the body, that's a
• 1:24:26
  little bit, you know, out of the norm, and maybe we need
• 1:24:28
  to look into it a little further. Carrie Joseph from the Domestic Violence and
• 1:24:31
  Child Advocacy Center says, agencies take many steps to determine child abuse. You
• 1:24:36
  know, generally when they go out on the investigation, they're gonna look into
• 1:24:41
  as many areas as possible. Did it determine, you know, if there
• 1:24:45
  is a cause here, if there is a reason for concern. Back out
• 1:24:51
  here live now, you can still see a small memorial sits outside little Anaya
• 1:24:57
  Days apartments. News five has also learned that several police reports have been made
• 1:25:01
  because of a domestic abuse sorry not domestic abuse, domestic calls made to this
• 1:25:08
  home. We are live tonight in Euclid Commandovan Allen, who's five AW,
• 1:25:29
  I really don't think you'll even understand how much this story touched me. Their
• 1:25:40
  baby had been she was only four years old. Their baby was abuse.
• 1:25:49
  Pretty much, it's hired life and for the mother to so homely called and
• 1:26:00
  I wouldn't want to say my child is not breathing? How how could you?
• 1:26:17
  This is a prime example when I say the system fails these children.
• 1:26:27
  Multiple cases opened, police called documentation, and this baby still ended up there
• 1:26:41
  four years old. I remember when they released the autopsy and they stated this
• 1:26:51
  baby died from a stress induced stroke. For you years old. She only
• 1:27:01
  weighed how many pounds did they say? She weighed ten pounds? Twelve pounds?
• 1:27:14
  She was very tiny and nothing was I look at this beautiful, beautiful
• 1:27:30
  little girl who looked to be so full of life. She looked like she
• 1:27:39
  just loved to laugh, loved to play, suffered for a year and a
• 1:27:45
  half. Mind you, she was only four years old, So they started
• 1:27:55
  abusing her when she was a year and a half. If my math is
• 1:28:00
  right, so two and a half years old. I'm sorry, y'all,
• 1:28:08
  two and a half years old. At two years old? What could this
• 1:28:13
  baby do to you? The father was fighting to get custody of her.
• 1:28:23
  Why didn't you let her go? Why? If I know something is terribly
• 1:28:34
  and wrong with my child, I'm immediately called her nine on one, I'm
• 1:28:42
  gonna be in hysterics all over the place. But she was just calm.
• 1:28:54
  And then again. You know a few minutes into the call is when you
• 1:28:56
  finally tell her Old, she's not breathing. But the dispatcher I had to
• 1:29:00
  ask you, was this baby breathe? Yeah, she's not breathing Anaya day.
• 1:29:15
  Garrett was four years old. Multiple reports open, cases that were closed,
• 1:29:30
  and this baby ended up dead four years old. I remember when the
• 1:29:41
  mom and the boyfriend were sentenced. Well let me let me let me say
• 1:29:45
  this. The carrier of this child was sentenced. My so says, they
• 1:30:00
  have no feelings at all. Why I put them in jail just to do
• 1:30:02
  them, just due to them, what they did to them. Absolutely,
• 1:30:05
  the plan and hurt. The pain and hurt that I still have, still
• 1:30:10
  have after two years, still get to me every day. These cowards absolute
• 1:30:15
  Because this baby had burn marks on the bottom of her feet. Like I
• 1:30:25
  said, I didn't want to post the autopsy report because it's devastating this baby.
• 1:30:30
  If I'm not mistaken, I believe she only weighed uh fifteen pounds.
• 1:30:34
  I believe at the time that she died. I believe that's how much she
• 1:30:39
  weighed. I believe she only weighed about fifteen pounds. And the father was
• 1:30:43
  fighting for customer and the day that the mother and the boyfriend were sentenced,
• 1:30:53
  the mother sat there as if she did nothing wrong, stone faced. The
• 1:31:02
  boyfriend taunted the dad. You know there's a high place and health for people
• 1:31:11
  like y'all. Again, you women, y'all need to be mindful again with
• 1:31:23
  who y'all bringing around your children. Y'all, y'all look cooled, cats be
• 1:31:27
  be throbbing, and you just be ready for any man. But it be
• 1:31:32
  at the expense of your child, and you're standing by and you let it
• 1:31:35
  happen. You don't do anything about it. You don't see anything. And
• 1:31:44
  you men, you need to be mindful with these women you're bringing around your
• 1:31:47
  children. Because there was a case in at Lanta where stepmother starved her stepdaughter
• 1:31:56
  to death and the father knew about it. The father, i believe,
• 1:32:00
  was sentenced to life in prison and the and the stepmother was sentenced to the
• 1:32:03
  death penalty in Atlanta. You got cupcakes out of Alabama, your head.
• 1:32:23
  Another baby here in Houston whose mom and boyfriend said, oh, they ran
• 1:32:31
  in the house for a moment. They came back and the child was gone.
• 1:32:33
  And then a couple of days later, the baby's body was floating in
• 1:32:36
  Braydon braised by you, the MoMA all on TV hysterical, but all the
• 1:32:44
  while you and a boyfriend are the one that killed her. Then your CPS
• 1:32:54
  gets these cases, they don't look into them, they don't investigate, and
• 1:33:00
  they close them, and then these children end up Did they end up there?
• 1:33:14
  How? How could you do this again? There are women out here
• 1:33:27
  that cannot have children due to circumstances that they could not prevent. Give these
• 1:33:34
  babies to these parents that really want to love and nurture and care for these
• 1:33:39
  babies. Give them to them. If at the time of a birth you
• 1:33:43
  don't want the child, leave the baby at the hospital, drop the baby
• 1:33:46
  off at the fire station. Give that baby a fighting chance. If you
• 1:33:51
  know you are your mental it's not capable, give these babies a fighting chance.
• 1:34:00
  Give these babies to somebody that you know is gonna take care of these
• 1:34:02
  babies. They don't deserve this. They don't deserve to be brutalized. They're
• 1:34:08
  innocent, they're helpless, they're not a threat to you. But this is
• 1:34:15
  what happens case overload. They get caught up in the system and knowing bad
• 1:34:30
  to eye. Then they get with these falseter families that treat them the bearer
• 1:34:39
  same way as the family that they just left or the situation they just left.
• 1:34:47
  We're failing them. The system is failing them. Everybody's so worried about
• 1:34:56
  what the hell Donald Trump got going on, But you about these babies that
• 1:35:00
  are dying every day, and you say nothing. Y'all talking about Donald Trump
• 1:35:04
  all day. I don't give a damn about Donald Trump. I'm more concerned
• 1:35:08
  about with this four year old child whose life made into the That's what I'm
• 1:35:14
  concerned about. I don't give damn about Donald Trump. Y'all care more about
• 1:35:19
  these reality shows than these children. Y'all will sitting post about the Real Housewives
• 1:35:27
  of Atlanta or Love and Hip Hop, whatever it is, and then when
• 1:35:30
  I do shows like this, y'all don't want to talk about. But now,
• 1:35:40
  I bet you if I was doing a show and I'm talking about the
• 1:35:42
  latest gosslip or who's sleeping with who, I bet y'all would all be ready
• 1:35:45
  for that conversation. But I'm talking about something that makes sense. I'm talking
• 1:35:50
  about a situation that's going on in your backyard. I'm talking about a situation
• 1:35:55
  that could be going on in your house right now. You might have a
• 1:35:58
  boyfriend who's touching on your or who's brutally abusing your child, and you're not
• 1:36:01
  saying anything. That's what I'm talking about. But if I was sitting up
• 1:36:09
  here talking about some shit that had nothing to that, about some gossa or
• 1:36:14
  y'all would love that this could be your child. I could be telling this
• 1:36:23
  story about. This could be one of your loved ones that I could be
• 1:36:25
  sitting over here telling this story about. Y'all need to start caring about shit
• 1:36:32
  that really truly matters. We have to start saving our children again. They
• 1:36:38
  are being felt consistently, not only by the community but by the system.
• 1:36:45
  Funding is not going where it needs to be. They more worried about funding
• 1:36:48
  other countries instead of taking care of what's going on over here. You got
• 1:36:51
  harmless people over here, You got these overwork, underpaid teachers over here.
• 1:36:58
  Start don't need to start contributing to ship that makes sense. We have to
• 1:37:04
  start protecting our children, even if that means doing it on our own and
• 1:37:13
  just taking the l for it. Because I'm here to tell you if I
• 1:37:18
  hear or no a child being abused, tell yeah, I'm gonna report you,
• 1:37:24
  now what, fight me. Absolutely, I'm gonna report you. Because
• 1:37:32
  these children don't ask to come here. You chose to lay down and had
• 1:37:40
  a baby. You chose that. So you either step up and be a
• 1:37:46
  parent, or you give that child to someone that wants to be a parent
• 1:37:49
  that you know for a fact can love, nurture and support and care for
• 1:37:53
  the child the way that this child is supposed to be cared for. They
• 1:37:57
  need to be loved, correct, they need to be nurtured. But if
• 1:38:05
  you know that's not what you want, you know that that you're not capable
• 1:38:09
  of doing that. Leave the child at the hospital, take the baby to
• 1:38:13
  the fire station, drop the baby off at the police department, do something.
• 1:38:20
  I'd rather do that than to brutally beat the child to death. I
• 1:38:25
  would rather you do that. So this last video is the sentencing of Anaya
• 1:38:48
  Day's mother and the boyfriend. And then I want to roll into my final
• 1:38:55
  thoughts for tonight. Where's the journ your case being doing a panel sworn?
• 1:39:01
  Do you find the defendant Sierra Day guilty of aggravated murder? Guilty on all
• 1:39:08
  counts. Nearly a year after the death of four year old Anaia Day,
• 1:39:11
  Garrett A jury needed just hours to find her mother, Sierra Day, and
• 1:39:15
  her mother's boyfriend, Deonte Lewis, guilty of aggravated murder. The dramatic decision
• 1:39:21
  was the emphatic ending to a week long trial that featured evidence showing the two
• 1:39:27
  starved, neglected, and beat the little girl until her bodily her body finally
• 1:39:32
  had had enough. As wives Joining vander Burke has covered this story from the
• 1:39:35
  beginning and has reaction to today's verdict well. In the end, the evidence
• 1:39:41
  was simply overwhelming, but today likely won't be the end of this case,
• 1:39:45
  as the loved ones of the little girl may look to the Cuyahoga County Division
• 1:39:48
  of Children in Family Services may try to hold them accountable as well. Like
• 1:39:55
  a stone statue, Sierra A Day sat silently as the jury held her account
• 1:40:00
  honible for her daughter's death. The guilty verdict for Deante Lewis set off even
• 1:40:03
  more emotion, culminating in a back and forth between Louis and Annia's biological father.
• 1:40:16
  The trail that spanned six days featured evidence showing the two siphon the life
• 1:40:20
  out of Annaia slowly through neglect and abuse, before the little girl died of
• 1:40:26
  a trauma induced stroke. In the months that followed, the Cuyahoga County Division
• 1:40:30
  of Children and Family Services came under fire for mistakes that were made in its
• 1:40:34
  handling of a Nia's case. While prosecutors did not mention the controversy directly,
• 1:40:40
  they did say this after the verdict was read. Everyone has a responsibility in
• 1:40:45
  our community to do your job. There are some who did their job.
• 1:40:50
  I applaud the Euclip Police Department for doing their job, and others. I
• 1:40:56
  applaud the Euclip Police Department for doing their job. This is the first step
• 1:41:00
  in responsibility accountability for Nia's death. There are certainly other responsible parties that will
• 1:41:06
  be held accountable. The system failed to Nia in the Garrett family, and
• 1:41:11
  that system will be held accountable. As News five first reported, state officials
• 1:41:15
  reviewed the county's handling of a Nia's case and found case workers failed her at
• 1:41:19
  seemingly every turn. Follow up investigations weren't done, records were not collected,
• 1:41:25
  and basic procedures were not followed. The county has implemented some changes, included
• 1:41:30
  creating a review board and adding retired police officers to aid with investigations. See
• 1:41:36
  every Day and deante Lewis will be sentenced March twentieth. In the news from
• 1:41:41
  Jordan vaniburg Us five a game, everybody needs to be held accountable and correction,
• 1:42:04
  y'all. The baby died from a trauma induced stroke at four years old.
• 1:42:17
  Again, to the mother, I'm so sorry. The carrier of Anaya
• 1:42:24
  Day, Garrett, I hope you never rest peacefully. To the boyfriend,
• 1:42:38
  I hope that beautiful, beautiful baby's face haunt you for the rest of your
• 1:42:46
  life. Because again, this baby looked like she was full of life,
• 1:42:49
  Ladies and gentlemen. This baby looked like she wanted to play with dolls and
• 1:42:55
  she just wanted to go outside and just But she was abused, rutally abused
• 1:43:05
  to the point that her body just couldn't take it anymore. To the family
• 1:43:15
  of Annya, they Garrett, I saved this baby store for the end.
• 1:43:29
  I pray that justice is served and know that annyas no her death was not
• 1:43:42
  in vain. These babies don't ask if you don't want them to have them.
• 1:44:00
  Get those babies to someone who will, who love men, who'll take
• 1:44:04
  care of them babies because they're innocent. I promised, did it that has
• 1:44:14
  to come here. I promise. They're so innocent, they're so helpless.
• 1:44:16
  All they want to do is it's play. They just want to live.
• 1:44:19
  They just they want to be children, but your parents don't let them.
• 1:44:34
  Every one of these stories has touched me so deeply tonight, ever last one
• 1:44:40
  of them. I prayed that I don't have to sit on this side of
• 1:44:47
  them. Got a camera and tell your child story. I prayed that I
• 1:44:58
  don't m m m hm, and nowa we love you. If she was
• 1:45:26
  still here, that baby would be eleven years old. She would be eleven,
• 1:45:35
  she would be in the sixth grade, maybe fifth or sixth grade.
• 1:45:47
  Hey, Sissy, Suave says wild both just standing there, coldhearted, whole
• 1:45:55
  baby. Yeah m hm. So let me go into my final thoughts.
• 1:46:11
  One and four children are victims are child abuse Again, seventy seven percent of
• 1:46:25
  abuse amongst amongst black children occurred between the ages of zero and five. Sixty
• 1:46:36
  one A Black children are abused by their biological parents. And then you have
• 1:46:45
  six hundred and fifty six thousand victims of child abuse slashed neglect nationwide. That's
• 1:46:54
  a lot. It's only three one hundred and sixty five days in a year,
• 1:47:02
  three hundred and sixty six. If it's leapier, so you do the
• 1:47:08
  man. That's how many children? How many little black children are dying due
• 1:47:15
  to abuse and neglect or are victims of abuse and neglect six hundred and fifty
• 1:47:26
  six thousand victims nationwide. Y'awi as are people. We have to come together
• 1:47:40
  and we have to start taking care of and saving our youth, our children,
• 1:47:45
  our babies. If you notice any types of bruises on a child reported,
• 1:48:03
  don't stand by in say nothing, because that's what happened in Julia Easton's
• 1:48:09
  case. Neighbors her, this six year old being brutally beaten, and no
• 1:48:15
  one said anything, no one called the police. Then you have the family
• 1:48:19
  in South Carolina who's sixteen year old had to run in and physically snatch her
• 1:48:28
  eight year old sister from her mother to prevent her from drowning her, although
• 1:48:34
  she succeeded in drowning the six year old. Let's send prayers to the baby
• 1:48:45
  in Atlanta whose mother allowed her boyfriend to beat this child, punch him in
• 1:48:50
  the chest, all because he assumed the child still eighty dollars out of his
• 1:48:55
  wallet. And the mom decides to go get her nails and our feet done
• 1:48:59
  and go to work. Again. This happens daily. But now that we
• 1:49:10
  know the problem, now it's time to come up with the solutions, because
• 1:49:14
  again, these children don't ask to come here to your parents. You women,
• 1:49:26
  you need to be mindful with who you allowing your house and around your
• 1:49:29
  children. And same applies to you fellas. You need to be mindful of
• 1:49:34
  the women that you allowing your house and around your children, because jealousy is
• 1:49:39
  real. We saw this a couple of months ago where the lady killed her
• 1:49:45
  husband's daughter, stuffed the baby in a trash can and droll cut down the
• 1:49:48
  street and dropped in front of her mother's house. It's time for us to
• 1:49:57
  take our children back again. We're dealing with mental health, we're dealing with
• 1:50:02
  police brutality, and now child abuse. We doubt we're also dealing with maternal
• 1:50:09
  deaths, poverty. How much more can we take? So as I bring
• 1:50:19
  this episode to a close, if you know anybody that may be going through
• 1:50:31
  this child abuse, there's the one eight hundred number that's the National Child Abuse
• 1:50:38
  Highline. Any report you make are anonymous. If you can't save all of
• 1:50:50
  them, at least try to save one. I know we can't save them
• 1:50:55
  all, but let's try to say they've won, all right. So for
• 1:51:13
  Thursday night, my upcoming episode is about plastic surgery and the risk of cosmetics.
• 1:51:20
  Cosmetic surgery and the risk of being beautiful. I believe that's what the
• 1:51:29
  episode is called. I don't know, y'all. My mind is all over
• 1:51:31
  the place right now, but I'm gonna be addressing the risk of cosmetic surgery
• 1:51:43
  and the things that we as women do to be beautiful at the expense of
• 1:51:46
  our health. That's Thursday night, eight thirty pm Central Time, nine thirty
