Any Marys should watch out.

I was about to ask for clarification. Ty!

bruh they really weren't very imaginative on names huh lol... Mary, Elizabeth, William, Jack.... THATS IT lol

@@robcanisto8635 You do know when this took place right? Time periods and certain countries reflect popular names at the time.

@@sergeantbrother6940it’s a history channel. Everything happened 250 years ago. You Been smoking a little bit to mutch Mary Jane.

Shame on the men? Surely shame on that evil woman. Or does it agitate you that the main perpetrator was female. Feminists oh dear.

Happens today too if the offender is an influential politician. He just buys his version of truth. Unfortunately everybody has a price.

Men were simping harder then than they are now.

I mean what exactly do we think is happening RIGHT NOW?!? We live in a world controlled by men, which has effectively groomed entire generations of young girls into being sex workers today. Grown men in their forties and fifties (all the way up to a hundred) who are happy to consume their "content", while pretending to be faithful and devoted, fathers and husbands!😂 This is WHAT men are. Disgusting and predatory. If history tells us anything at all... it's that men in general should not have power of women of any age, as they will always abuse that power.

I was getting molested by my mom growing up. Im a woman. My dad didnt take it seriously and neither did law enforcement. A lot of men unfortunately dont take woman on girl abuse as seriously as they do when its a male perpetrator due to the strength difference between women and men. I had assumed with people being more strict in the days of antiquity, that this problem was only a new one. I guess not

Still happens in some countries

​@@nuzhatmuhammad4516 It happens in every country

I mean it is currently happening in every society that includes men.

​@@sarahalderman3126cry about it😂

Good ol civilization.

Men... it is always just men.

Still happens in Canada , Europe and all around the world . Sad but true.

@@sarahalderman3126Interesting that a woman was one of the persons doing the most abuse.

@@TkT8PR I mean… sure. Congrats on the observation? All the countless men within the chain and systems that could’ve helped or prevented this from happening, even doing something as small as investigating this girls stories completely slipped the minds of all of them

Democrats.

An entire family of sadists.

What do you mean the neighbors did nothing? In the video it said they stopped it happening.

Those poor girls. It is crazy there are such wicked individuals amongst us

Only keep three of 16 🤔

The beginning of this story was too 😮 horrific to listening to the end for me.

Close our borders.

Interesting statement. I live in Texas, and we just want to follow basic border protocal that the fed gov won't let us do! Without borders and citizenship, there is no country really! I think that is what "those people" in power are doing! UGH...

Unfortunately, modernity is perfectly capable of creating monsters with human faces.

Why? The girls weren't their children. Also it makes no sense to be speechless regarding this when the brutalities of slavery even towards children, for example are known. The fact that these girls weren't enslaved or non European makes no difference. They were members of an underclass and therefore in the minds of psychopaths, worthless.

@@ginnyanntonick Modernity? So the ritual human sacrifice found in almost all pre-Christian pagan religions is a product of "modernity"? You should try learning history without bias.

@@CandiceGoddard 🤣

​@@CandiceGoddardperhaps she is hoping for better behavior from supposedly civilized Christians, which is what they were supposed to be. That they behaved worse than ancient pagans makes it even worse.

I don't understand it either. I never finished this video but I still get Notifs. Good people comment here.

They may have gotten away with it in life, but they paid the price in Hell.

@@TheGrwhi065 that's for sure!

I’ve never been able to get it. Reminds me of what happened on October 7th last year. 😢

I believe they are often referred to as ghosts. 😢

Hi David, yes I wondered that and tried to find out but there's nothing out there. I just hope they managed to find some happiness in their subsequent lives. Have a good weekend 👍🏻

Mary Mitchell and Mary Jones might have wanted this horror to be forgotten. Still seems weird that there was no record of them afterwards. Could they have changed names at that time due to the crimes against them?

@@deed5811 It's not weird. They were members of the lowest social class and probably illiterate as mentioned in the video so unable to record their own histories. There's absolutely no mention of MOST people from the same socio-economic class and even though the girls escaped, it doesn't mean that anyone would have particularly helped them and made a record of their lives because quite frankly what would have been more interesting in the case would be the gory details and the motives of the killers. When I was at uni studying archaeology the first thing we were taught was to not interpret the past according to our own standards or morals, but try to get into the mindset of the people at that time. With all due respect, people like you seem to have a very delusional interpretation of history. These people were socio-economically beneath most domestic servants in a medium to large sized household and atrocities like this were not rare. In the same time period, which was the early industrial period btw, lots of poor families sold their children into apprenticeships knowing that many would not survive their teens. There are stories about how teenagers died being ground up in early machinery or having their limbs torn off. Old people who could no longer work would commit suicide so as not to be a burden and mothers who were out breast feeding rich women's children would enrol their own babies in death lotteries, hoping the children would die as the pay out was sometimes more than their yearly salary.

No record??? None!! I want to know more about them. ​@@thehistorysquad

​@@deed5811 They're very common names, and there was no paperwork other than church records for most people.

I was thinking the same.

Thank you for doing this thankless and difficult job! ❤

Yea, inequity in society is unfortunately still very prevalent. But, at least there are people like you 😊

People like those in this story make me wsh Tyburn were still in operation.

If you see this all the time then why haven't you reported it to the police? More rubbish coming from the direction of social services.

@@bustestlucloc4630 we do, thought that was obvious

The Brownrigg's weren't people, they were monsters.

The really sad thing is that something like this has or is probably happening right now somewhere in the US or the world.

Yes God was responsible and acted through the hands of the murderer as usual.

@mrparlanejxtra cringe.

Blaming God for humanity's satanic actions, what a useless mind you have​@@mrparlanejxtra

God cares no matter how small it is. Tell Him anyway.

Yup I remember I watch

You are so welcome.

Soon to be again, thanks to voting for liberals.

And yet these days we're called white privileged

Indeed, but sadly it is still happening today. If I understand correctly a gang in Scotland has just been brought to justice for similar cruelties against children.

Similar things have happened in more recent times, two in particular comes to mind - Sylvia Likens in the US and another one from Japan called Junko Furuta. In Britain there have been a couple of cases such as the murder of Suzanne Cooper.

⁠​⁠@@steves1015The Sylvia Likens story is absolutely horrific. I think group psychosis is at play in these types of murders

Cheers Nick 👍🏻

It is an incredible shame that these predators have ALWAYS gotten away with the countless atrocities that they continue to commit against girls and women.

Thanks as always for watching 👍🏻

That’s very kind of you, thanks.

Did she lose them or kill them?

@@bas4903 oohhh good question! I hope she didn’t kill them but I wouldn’t put it past her with the way she acted.

Hi Kevin, another brilliant video despite the horrific crimes committed by Elizabeth, James and John Brownrigg and the unimaginable suffering of those poor girls. I’m from Wiltshire and I know there it’s lots of History here and I’m sure many fascinating stories connected to the county. Do you know of any in particular that jump out?

​@@T-ChillSilverandSuch That's a frightening thought. Perhaps she did lose them as child mortality was higher in 18th century London. Though it's possible that some died of neglect or even intentional foul play.

Yes this is due to the abuse she experienced at the hands of the men around her. This is what abuse can do to a person.

There were multiple attempts over the centuries to improve English society by reorganising it, from the Peasants' Revolt, through to the Levellers, and on to the unionist movement inspired by the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Power is never surrendered willingly. The conscienceless few are rarely reluctant to abuse the principled many.

I think the lack of action is due to many things. There was so much abuse of the young people in the situation as we have heard of. People who were aware of "groans and screaming" could not do anything of their own accord. The workhouse and constable had to be fetched and even then victims were hidden and perpetrators escaped. Like the countries populated by hundreds of millions of people no one sees the ones that go missing.

Sylvia Marie Likens had a similar fate in the USA in 1965

Well...now that I've watched it...not so happy. But I appreciate your telling the stories.

😜 I know what you mean, thanks 👍🏻

Cheers Dave, have a wonderful weekend 👍🏻

@@thehistorysquad Thanks! You too!

I agree. I'm a pagan, and it's because of monsters like this that I do believe in Hell.

So, you will believe in God, if it means there is a hell for bad people to suffer in? That makes no sense. Whether or not you like something doesn’t make it more or less real. You believe in something because you believe, not because it suits you. Also, I would hope the idea that your loved ones could be in Paradise would be more motivational than people you’ve never met suffering. You scare me, sir

This is one of the problems I have with Christianity. The idea that someone can commit crimes for a maximum of about 70 years, and (compared to what Hell is supposed to be like) have a limited human level of cruelty, yet the perpetrators are then condemned to unimaginable horror for *eternity*! And then many folk will think this is just?! Wow... Just wow... Tbh with a heart like that, I would wonder if you would be likely to join them....

@@steves1015...you need to read and understand what sin is and why Christ came. It's completely logical.

Downton Abbey is more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.

@@harkonen1000000 Disneyfied is my word for it.

It's hell on earth now too, to be fair

Still hasn’t changed.

Hope it didn't give you nightmares.

@@thehistorysquad I didn't even look at the title, nor watch the video as I said this. I kicked back in bed after and started the video up and had that "Oh..." moment. Definitely still super interesting and well told story, but hoo boy that was a journey.

Sadly not, I did some digging but couldn’t find anything, as I said they were largely lost to time 😕

Yes! Reminded me of Sylvia Likens too. People talk about the brutal olden days, but has anything changed?

Ironically, slavery was finally outlawed within the UK itself in the beginning of the 1800’s. It was seen as barbaric to treat humans as property. Yet for children & youths, human rights seemed non-existent still

Yup

It was tough doing the research for sure.

@@thehistorysquadexactly. No wonder the "mother" went along with this predator. She was groomed and abused mercilessly and had to "help" or be treated in the same manner. Basically the story or plight of women all throughout history.

Thanks for listening

Cheers Mark 👍🏻
