Make this into a series

You had a similar video like this years ago (which I rewatch every 2 months). The "Son of Sam" law, Amber Alert, Three strikes law etc. were all included. But this kind of topic has now been my favorite so I'll watch this again

The Dunblane massacre changed gun laws in the UK

Dunblane and Hungerford impacting uk law

"Kari's Law" is an interesting one -- it requires any phone that would normally require an extra step to dial an external line to have an exception for 911. Before Kari's law, you might have to do whatever procedure was necessary to dial out (like dialing 9 first) before calling 911. It's one of those things that seems obvious in hindsight but no one had really thought about it until something bad happened.

She's burning in Hell now..may not seem like much but I take comfort in the idea.

One thing i get so frustrated is that the woman who accused him got to have a family, children and grandchildren, the same situation Emmett till wouldve had if she didnt falsely accused him

She got to live because so many people don’t think racists killing POC is a crime. They just see it as life

Yeah

They did that law and she still never faced justice

His show was excellent. He (and his son Adam) really changed our country & the world.

Linda Kasabian did the same thing after she testified against Charles Manson. She worked for NCMEC for years and years. She said, "It could've been my age-progressed photo you see in a Walmart today" in a 2019 interview with ABC.

Yeah

Classic case of sucky parenting.

You throw down, John Walsh! I don't care how old my children are. If they don't wanna ride the ride. I don't ride it. Well, let's find something else to do. BTW. My son is 30 years old and a marine. He's not getting abducted. (Except for a SWAT team, or an enemy army or something.) What kind of fun can you have on a ride without your kid?

Yeah, he lost his child in far shorter time than it takes for a roller coaster to run its course. That was phenomenally stupid of the parents.

Irresponsible parents. My mom would always be with me. Didnt let me out of her sight lol

That's terrible

I never heard of this

I'm glad that law exists. I've never heard of the case

Thanks for bringing it up. It gives exposure to the case.

A Turkish-Dutch man named Aydin Coban was caught, extradited to Canada, and in 2022, he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Actually the guy who started all that was caught last year. His name is Aydin Coban and he's currently serving 13 years for this. Too short if you ask me Edit: One more f'd up part about all this. Amanda wasn't his only victim. He was doing this to more then 30 underage girls and 5,000 names of potential victims. He had hard drives of over 204,000 files of CP when he was being investigated as a suspect. Once again, 13 years is way too short for his crimes. Let him rot for the rest of his life.

@@thefreshestmango1106wayyyy too short. was just thinking of amanda the other day, actually quite often within the past couple of weeks. i hope she’s at peace

@thefreshestmango1106 They caught him? That's great! I didn't know that

@@thefreshestmango1106 On the plus side, the authorities will likely be closely monitoring his online activities once he is released.

I work at Walmart and I have witnessed a couple of Code Adam’s, where the kids were successfully found

Employee @ TJMaxx and HomeGoods, and the video training we get a few times a year, includes the Adam Alert - Code Adam, and yep - that's exactly what it is - and make sure that the person the kid is leaving with IS the parent.

And the doors are locked and no one is allowed to leave til child is found...love it

My mom and I had to do that when my niece disappeared in a clothing store. Thankfully she was just hiding in the racks but scared the life out of us.

I work at a hospital and they have code Adam as well

Good. I don't feel sorry for her.

​@cryingbananajo same she deserves to be in jail and not free

IIRC, it was Anonymous who disclosed her identity. And her mother got out of prison early??

That was Paula. not Stephanie.

And Gertrude got a light sentence for what she did. I think she deserved to fry.... 😑😐☹

Yeah they are

Sylvia Likens parents should have been held accountable too. They left their daughters with this horrible woman without knowing anything about her...

They made two movies about the case The Girl Next Door An American Crime

I learned about it from the law and order SVU episode Care

@@HopeGardner3amedWhat episode is it ?

I know

The song polly by nirvana was apparently written about the story

Makes sense, the animal is technically a police officer & assists with law enforcement.

We have Joker's Law in TN, maybe the whole of the United States. That was enacted because he was shot while working with his police partner in trying to arrest someone. The bad guy shot Joker, the K9 officer. It was touch and go for awhile, but Joker was tough and pulled through. He is retired now because of his recovery and service and lives with his human partner.

when was that? I've never known a time when assaulting a police dog wasn't considered the same as a human police officer in Australia, so wondering if that's a law from a long time ago or if we got in first with that (they actually say it's 10 times worse for the crim to assault a dog with the response it gets from the police dealing with them)

@@mehere8038 only a few years ago. Maybe 5 years or so.

@@stephaniebattison2334 wow! Thanks for that info. I'm really glad that law was changed. It's been that way for at least 30 years in Australia. My family used to raise police puppies when I was a child & I know it was certainly in effect here back then & wasn't a new thing then either. Even back then, the police very much saw & treated the dogs as a "police officer" & trained them accordingly. There was negative talk about how some agencies treated sniffer dogs as "equipment" & how different their dogs were to that. Police dogs here are raised by families for the first year of life, so as to experience a wide range of living experiences, to give them a good grounding to be able to make informed decisions later in life as police officers & the dogs are taught/encouraged to use their own initative in the same way as other police officers while on the job. Actually, I think our dogs may have been trained better than our humans in the past, back in the 1980's or 90's, we actually had to bring in a top cop from your country to replace ours & sacked the entire force & made them re-apply for their positions so as to get rid of the systemic corruption we had here in the humans. So ahead on some stuff, behind on other stuff in all police forces I guess. Glad your dogs get proper protections now though. Do they get a pension too? Our police dogs all get a pension when they retire. Their pension is food & vet care for life & they live either with their handler, or another suitably qualified person that will give them lots & lots of love & attention. I was actually offered one of our puppies back when I was older, but I was living in an apartment & didn't feel I had the time to give him everything he needed, so we went to someone else

Just a reminder that you don’t need to be black to feel empathy or enragement for when a black person is wrong by others

That women who accused him died in hospice a few months ago too

The US needs to adopt what the Germans and the Israelis do; they FORCE people that played a role in the Holocaust to go to Israel or Germany to answer for what they did from 1933 to 1945. They'll go anywhere in the world to force the person to go Germany or Israel and make them answer. The French and the Cambodians do the same thing with former members of the Khmer Rouge; they're forced to go to France or Cambodia to answer for contributing to the evil that the Khmer Rouge has done. The Germans, Israelis, French and Cambodians will go anywhere in the world and don't care how long it's been.

Same here in New Zealand. One terrorist attacked a mosque and the government took it seriously and automatic guns were banned. It was supported by most people and a buyback scheme worked well.

Because the problem is the people. Sick people who are hell bent on hurting others will find any means to their end.

The main problem with the Kitty G story is it was a (or rather another) quite embellished story by a NY times writer. Not the first, not the last. Great story though.

@@johnjarusik7383 this is all Harlan Ellison's fault lmao

It's a shame they didn't come out screaming or something, maybe the perpetrator would have backed off and ran.

@@deborahminter6231 Several people did actually. The perpetrator was driven off, but returned after Genovese retreated into a blind alley. There was literally no way for anyone to witness the second attack that killed her, even though one neighbour managed to make it outside in time to hold Genovese as she died. Given it was the middle of winter at 3:30am the fact that anyone realized it was happening at all was extraordinary.

That's it!? No wonder the rich keep getting away with stuff

Instead of that being a misdemeanor offense, it should've been made a felony

It's not a top 20, so the placement in the list doesnt matter

@@DarkAnon100 20

a lot of them affect the world, even if there's not a direct claim to it & you know the tamper seal doesn't actually make it "tamper proof" right? We had an incident with panadol in Australia not that many years ago. They just used hyperdermic syringes to insert the poison. We actually had a number of incidents in close proximity, ended up with all pain relievers being held behind the counter for a long time, so as to both prevent tampering on the shelf & also allow the person serving to properly check the package for any signs of damage before handing it over to the customer. Most were just pranks conducted in response to the attention of the real poisoning one, moving the drugs behind the counter worked really well for that too, without the need to be doing major recalls & publicity for the sick f*** behind the pranks. Point being though, don't assume your packaging is tamper "proof", it's not!

And yet there are still many food items sold without protective packaging. That's why folks kept filming themselves licking ice cream then put it back in the freezer to be sold. Because they could! Even after the Tylenol scare some products still have no protective packaging. SMH. NO, I am not saying folks should go around licking ice cream then putting it back on the shelf to be sold to some unsuspecting buyer. Absolutely not. I'm just unsure why these companies still take such easily remedied chances with consumers.

So until now police doesn't take missing persons case seriously?

What is a if I go missing folder?

​@@amandam4023it's a folder of information about you. It should contain things like a recent photo of you, information on your health, car etc. Also social media passwords, names and numbers of close friends/family. Pretty much anything that could help police find you if anything were to happen.

If they are a legal adult you do. But yea most people think the 72 hour wait is universal.

@@1966fastback ok thank you

Girl Next Door is good for the 'horror' side of the story, but An American Crime is better for the story accuracy. I watched both after a similar video to this.

😣

Yeah

On a national level, no. But "maybe" some states might have something in place. I just mentioned this in my comment that we need a country wide "Helen's Law" here in the US. Too many murderers get these sleazy deals without the family's ever knowing where their loved ones remains are...

I'm sure anybody falsely convicted is gonna just love that.

In America, it must be like the children's story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". In my country, people would not really care because we don't want to be bothered by other people's problems.....or no compensation.

Exactly!

"Not my pig not my farm"

And there was Theresa Saldana before that

Not enough people in the comment section are disgusted by this. Very telling.

I didn't know lynching was legal before 2022. Wow

More like centuries later. It’s disgusting that it was not recognized as a hate crime for a very long time.

That is genuinely so scary y'all had to live with that for so long.

Hope she has fun in hell!!

God knows what she did

Now that book is going to be released of her admiting what she did

Hopefully it ravaged her body,and she went to he'll.

​@@kellbellsparklesNope.

I opened something recently that had plastic pieces facing downward on the lid which would puncture the tamper seal when you opened it. So when I opened it, I had no idea if I broke the seal or if it was already broken. Totally defeats the purpose.

That's what's sicking then when they don't find them they look in those parents eyes til them sorry can't find them the nerve yes some are rebels but assuming all do it is disgusting it's like no no no you couldn't find my kid/kids you just didn't care enough used bs excuse to stop from looking then went and said ig were forced to look loosely looked and didn't bother really trying to look

I never related looked into that case. Even though that case is part of why how in school, when they taught how easy it was to look up anything about yourself (as it relates to jobs) and I never found anything about myself, but stuff about thus case popped up. So... never really searched.

It’s considered a lynching because they attached barbed wire to a cotton gin and tied the barbed wire around his neck. 😢

Life in prison still isn't enough...

I remember this :( that poor police officer Andrew harper his name was and he was dragged down for more than a mile down the road by the car after they hit him and they knew he was still attached to the car and still kept going 😢😢

I agree. Dear Zachary is one of the most gutwrenching pieces of work I’ve ever seen. David and Kate Bagby are some of the greatest people and I would be honored to have them as grandparents

YES !! Extremely frustrating

Yeah 20 stories told in just over 20 minutes. That’s around a minute a story. Quick and to the point but lots of info missed and doesn’t highlight just how devastating most of these cases are.

The fact that she lied too

White woman tears

Most people can't fathom that there are monsters such as a Richard Davis or Gertrude Baniszewski out there who harm others in such horrific manners. You can't arrest someone for what they haven't done yet. Especially in the Sylvia Likens case. No one could have forseen what GB would do to her. But Likens parents should have been held accountable too...

Laws always worked in that way. A serious crime was commited that nobody thought it before, make it a law to prevent it.

Now if only the state of MI could have passed a "Calista's Law" in honor of Calista Springer.

that’s actually not true, much of that claim is actually erroneous, and based on actually lies by the police and journalists - in fact many people did try to call the police and others simply didn’t see the attack because of the angle from their views - this wasn’t just people knowing there was an attack and doing nothing I highly recommend you do a deeper research into this because it has been shown in recent years that what was believed about the bystander effect that came from this case, was inaccurate

@@CaptainPikeachu You are right, I they actually told this case in my psychology class as well and I corrected my lecturer.

The people who tried to help her that night ended up with severe ptsd and survivors guilt. Because of the misinformation campaign they were harassed constantly. Phone calls, property destruction, physical assaults etc. They never stopped living the nightmare of that night.

That whole case is based on lies. Shepard's murderer was also gay. He was killed over a drug deal, not for being gay. The courts and everyone have always known this, but they continue to lie about it.

Yes it was so sad that no one was arrested, the main suspect was James Lewis

There are some really sick people in this world.

My father called Carolyn Byrant the C-word when he heard about Emmet Till.

THANK YOU!

Skylar Neese, I presume. I've heard of that case. I'm not sure why the law was passed. What people needed to realize is that an Amber alert would have made no difference. She was gone before anyone other than her murderers knew she was gone. By the time her parents knew she was missing, it was too late. By the time they informed the police, it was too late. If they had sent out an Amber alert, all that could do is help them find her body. Except I don't even see how they could do that since her body wasn't in West Virginia.

Sorry, but Floyd's death wasn't tragic! He ingested a bunch of fentanyl before being subdued by the cops and that drug along with a heart issue contributed to his death! He wasn't "murdered"! He died of an overdose of fentanyl! Honestly, the world is better off without Floyd! He pointed a gun at a pregnant woman's stomach while his cohorts robbed her house!

Just because there are laws in place, that never guarantees that these crimes will ever be stopped. That's just the sad reality we must deal with whether we like it or not.
