wow! Thats a wonderful and morally uplifting family tale. I think many mothers did the same when their teen daughters got pregnant. They would say they had a " late in life" pregnancy, and these were common as it was. Hide them away and come out with a baby , and hopefully the girl would not be shamed. It was dreadful how women were mistreated. No real contraception, and many times once they got pregnant they kept having baby after baby for 15 or 20 years. It really good to hear an happy ending to one of these stories.

​​@@primesspct2All they had to do was keep their legs closed. It's absolutely 100% effective and it still works! They were only victims of their loose morals and lack of self respect.

@@naelyneurkopfen9741 How about the guy keeping it in their pants? Lack of self respect much?

@@naelyneurkopfen9741 misogynist

Right guys should wrap their snakes why they're on the make. They absolutely had condoms back then! Casanova was said to be the inventor of them!!

Will Definitely listen again and share, thanks so much ❤

Sadly people have dual standards and women always got the blame for pregnancy.

​@@glorysmummyStill do. No one even mentions fathers anymore. It isn't about women or men. It's about the children. We seem to have forgotten about them, too.

@StacyL. "getting her pregnant and then abandoning her and her child!" WOMEN control sex. She chose that scumbag. It's unfortunate how things turned out, but as soon as the doctors said she was of sound mind before drowning her baby - she should have been tried accordingly (regardless of public outcry). If this was a man, he legit would have had to be suffering from psychosis to even attempt an insanity plea.

Thanks for watching Holly :)

My great-grandfather was a foundling in the 1840s. This was when a baby was given up by a woman 'of previous good character' to be cared for by the foundling hospitals. If she were able, she could reclaim the baby at a later date, but otherwise the children were raised by the hospital, precisely for this reason.

@@disgruntledmum4916 wow!! Very interesting!!!

Thanks Matto, Your support is always appreciated :)

You're welcome. I love showing support to your brilliant channel. 🤗 ​@@BriefCaseOfficial

Hello from north Philly!

@@nataliesharif2167 Hello, I hope you're well. I'm from Mechanicsburg. Which is some 2 hours west of where you're located. Thank you for the "hello." 🙂

@@ChildfreeMatto yup I've been through there b4 I know where it is. Have a good day!

I have always wanted to visit Jamaica, I have heard such wonderful things about your beautiful country.

Oh, it must feel a bit odd but it’s lovely in a way isn’t it. Connects you with all of us . Keep well 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

Thanks Beth, I do not do so many, but will do them from time to time :)

@@BriefCaseOfficial I look forward to it! I very much enjoy your work! ☺️

Wow, thank you!

Thank you! You too!

My Birthday soon too, hope you enjoyed yourself :)

Thank you so much!

@@BriefCaseOfficialI’ve been watching this channel since day one. I was working when your channel first started and every Monday I would wait for the video upload. I would plug in my earphones and listen through my mobile. It made my monotonous working day more enjoyable. Now I’m retired I still love this channel and I now can watch it at my own leisure.🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹

Nicely said!

No and I feel bad for the wives and families that were deprived of financial aid - for men to do that, it's nuts! She didn't have to accept it she could have compromised with the families rather than walking off with all the money.

Minnie probably married the devil when she arrived in hell.

Thanks for watching :)

Exactly what I was thinking.

They wouldn't believe a woman.

​@@ColleenLytle-sq8txthey sure won't if you don't mention it.

Thanks Stacee, your support is appreciated

You are so welcome!

Hi, BC. Four short stories are perfect. Short stories that you can pause and come back to. 😊

Easy to say since we aren't working under great emotional strain

Widow. A widower is a male

How could she afford a ring? She couldn’t even afford a proper place to live for herself and baby.

@@ladylove2310 A simple band wouldn't have cost much in a pawn shop- it's a good idea

@@lazyhomebody1356 it’s a good idea from our perspective. But we weren’t in her shoes at the time. I am not condoning her choices. What she did was horrible, and I would think, she spent the rest of her life with great guilt. I am only saying that in those days, there was no help for women. No welfare. No WIC services. No public housing. No child support. One had to have money to provide everything. She gave birth in a hotel room where she worked. That alone tells me she was not financially stable at all. Add to that the stigma of being an unwed mother, I think she was very desperate. Lots things happened to make her feel this way: the letter that never was answered (she thought she was abandoned by her own family), the guy that she was pregnant by made her show up to false address and disappeared without taking any responsibility, and no financial security. I wish she had never made the choices she did, including have sexual relations with the man that left her this way to deal with everything all alone. I feel that way about today’s women as well. People can’t be trusted, and it’s a tale as old as time, man gone, woman left to deal with it all. So while I don’t agree with her choices at all, I can see how she may have been dealing with postpartum depression/exhaustion, was all alone, hungry, and scared while trying to care for her baby, causing her to do what she did. Unfortunately, her baby paid the price of all the people in the story that didn’t make good choices, including the father of the child.

Thanks Jennifer

​ hi there im late but im listening now ❤

True for men and women in that situation. At least these days the women can leave (if they do the first time they stand a much better chance of the abuser letting them go).

Sorry :(

For her or her innocent baby?

Thanks Crystal, hope all is good with you in Canada :)

Thanks Dave, I only do compilations ocasionally so It will just be the one next week

Do you not know these are just old episodes stitched together?

​@@audreymuzingo933Isn't it great!!😊

I agree to bc and the crime reel do excellent work I also reccomend rotten manago as well it has very interesting cases from all over the world

​@@audreymuzingo933 yes I know but I still love my dose of bc on a weekly basis

Must be a Bank Holiday for you :)

Sadly no...off to work I go lol. Have a great week BC!

Hope you enjoyed it!

@BriefCaseOfficial I absolutely loved it! I also appreciate your hard work and dedication to us and your channel.

Thanks, cofffee, wake and bake sounds nice :)

@@BriefCaseOfficial always🧡💚 thank you again, I love Monday mornings and look forward to another Brief Case🖤🤎

Keep in mind, lying and pretending was not as prevalent as it is today. Back then most people were God fearing. IMO

They also had self respect and morals as well as the ability to take responsibility/ accept consequences for their actions more readily because they were God-fearing.

Hope you sleep well :)

That’s all it really is. It’s a story.

Thanks

Thankyou :)

I have always wished to see the Canary Islands!

Thanks Eliza :)

Maggie should have surrendered the baby to an orphanage.

@@anthonytroisi6682 Many wouldn't be able to take all the children in. Easy to say what could have been done.

​@@lexicat6177 she could have at least tried.

​I'm sure many people today consider it a late-term abortion. The baby's life doesn't matter if the poor mother was in a bad mood, or depressed, the baby is just a second thought. 😢

Thanks for your support :)

Thanks for watching Tara

Thanks, you too

Thanks so much! How did you know

Wow, thank you!

Thanks, you too

Thanks Lucie

It was never proven that Minnie did anything wrong, besides being a high-priced hooker in everything but name. She went for the money and people do it every day. If her first husband kept it in his pants he wouldn't have died. Her second husband didn't drink himself to death in a few months, it took years before he married her. The third man was on a different continent! As for a woman killing her baby so she doesn't die, that's call selfishness and evil.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Many thanks!

Wow, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Bobby

Did you miss the part where she killed her baby? Honestly, some women never accept responsibility for their actions, or expect responsibility when looking at the actions of other women. It's always men's fault, or the society's fault, or the devil made them do it. It's always "they needed help, and nobody helped them". What an insulting view of women! Women should be responsible, and capable of helping themselves, which in actuality the majority of us are.

Many thanks!

I'm sorry for the tiny baby boy she murdered.

Why is everyone sorry for Maggie? Was she sexually assaulted? Did she try to give her baby to someone to care for him and get told no? Did her parents say they wouldn't help in any way? You don't have to kill an innocent baby to make your life decisions look better! She was pretty, and prostitution is better than murder...by quite a lot!!! Give your baby to someone who wants one. Someone always wants a baby. Prostitution isn't something I imagine she wanted, but it would feed her and the child. It's sad that maybe nearly the only choices she had, but they are much better than the one she made. That she passed out when she's sentenced to death after killing a baby says what the problem was... She was selfish.

@@bobbierobinson6269 Gosh, thanks so much for the lecture. You have proven your superior morals and anthropological knowledge and immense understanding. I bow before your greatness.

@@bunnymad5049 The irony of your last sarcastic post is that bobbierobinson6269 is actually demonstrating superior morals, anthropological knowledge, and immense understanding of the situation. But facts and logic can never be more important than fee-fees, can they?

Hope you are OK

Thanks for watching

Thanks Joy :)

Thats good to know Carolyn :)

Thanks Greg :)

Maybe the solution is not to "find" yourself pregnant. Pregnancy isn't a disease that you can innocently contract. Barring rape, it is a preventable condition.

I did ask viewers what they thought, but there was an overwhelming response to keep it :)

The 2nd Case where she is married is so close to my hometown, Louisville Ky. first time i remember hearing Kentucky in a Brief Case. My Father was born in New Orleans, not sure when My family arrived there after leaving Ireland many Generations ago.

That's exactly what I was hoping she'd do until I remembered I was watching Brief Case😅

People had integrity. It would have never crossed their minds to add a lie onto, what was then perceived as a horrible sin, onto the fact of giving birth out of wedlock.

Thats def what I wouldve said! No facebook....theyd be none the wiser

I've asked that same question... Like what difference would it make 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm sure empathy is what they woulda gotten...😢

Ida was right, that the men are just as responsible for the baby's conception and care. I don't believe there is a reason to kill your innocent child. Murder because you didn't say no is bs.

Thankyou :)

Thanks for listening
