This mother should be charged with child abuse

Hopefully this horrible mother is investigated so her children can get help.

Why wasn't the mother charged for allowing this sexual abuse by her husband toward their children???

This is child abuse pure and simple. The children need to be removed from her care immediately.

Thank you, Judge Boyd! The mother has abused the children mentally. She should be put under the jail and have her rights of being around her children and grandchildren revoked regardless of their ages.

Since mom can't make it without him, let her share his prison cell for 10 years. She's useless to him now that he no longer has access to her children. Both of them are disgusting! 😡

I have worked with women in recovery for 34 years. I can tell you from listening to so many life stories over the years that a parent not supporting an abused child is more harmful than the abuse. It follows that child every bit as long as the abuse. It makes it hard for that child to have true trust in relationships for a long time. Thank you Judge Boyd.

Thanks mom for sending a message to your daughter that it is ok for her to stay in an abusive relationship!! They should remove the children from that mother!! We definitely need more judges like Judge Boyd!!

The judge should contact CPS about that mother

Does anyone really believe that that mother will pay any attention to what Judge Boyd told her? I don't!

I’m not American but I’m still grateful there’s judges like this in the world.

She definitely needs those children taken away from her, and she should be charged with child abuse.

The scariest thing is now that her meal ticket is gone, she's going head to the nearest bar looking for her next one! She is completely dependent upon a man providing for her, even at the expense of her own children! Those children are still in danger & the state needs to take them! She has proven that her happiness & money mean more to her than her own children! DISGUSTING! 😤😡🤬

God, I LOVE this woman!!! She was 1000% spot on and that useless pos "mother" needed to hear every word of that, you absolutely rock Judge Boyd!!

Great Job Judge Boyd for putting this "mom" in her place. Thank you for speaking up for the kids. Kids are not meant to be used for money making. They are to be loved as a family.

I am so proud to have been able to vote for Judge Boyd! I for one love her transparency with her court in Bexar county and I feel better knowing she’s standing up for kids across the county. The way she lays into shoddy parents is all too pleasing!

Cheers to Judge Boyd for her off-record remarks to the horrid abusive "mother", allowing her children to be SA'ed and forcing them to write letters excusing the abuser's actions. CPS needs to get involved. The horrid abusive "mother" deserves to be convicted as an accessory to the crime for *allowing and permitting* it to happen. I hope the children were still in the gallery to hear Judge Boyd telling them that, no matter what their "mother" says, it is not their fault the monster went to prison and not their fault that they were SA'ed.

Mom needs CPS called on her.

Thank you Judge B , for BEING the VOICE for those innocent children! I ONLY wish you could have placed that mother in Prison along side that predator.

A mother who prioritizes her financial needs over her children’s safety like this will absolutely do it again. We can only hope that CPS, the local community, and local police will keep a VERY close eye on this family. The mother will allow another predator to have access to her kids if he provides financial incentives. The next one may be even worse, and there absolutely will be a next one. Predators have a 6th sense for women who will turn a blind eye to predation in exchange for their own desires. They can spot a woman who will sacrifice her children for her own comfort, so another predator will find her. She is attracted to the type of man that is wired this way. Her selfishness is fundamental in the type of relationships she seeks out. She is looking for a partner that provides financial security and she doesn’t look any further than the money. She’s just wired to prioritize her own comfort over her children’s safety. That type of personality pattern is not amenable to change, especially if she refuses to acknowledge what she has done and is willing to continue to let happen. Her adult daughter with a child has been raised by her mother and has been taught this same pattern. All of the children need to be removed from this dangerous situation and need intensive therapy. The adult daughter needs therapy NOW. She has a very high risk of developing the exact same destructive personality patterns that she learned from her mother.

That mom knew the whole time their children were being abused and turned a blind eye. She should be charged too!

The first girl's sigh says it all while reading that horrific coerced text.

I am so addicted to watching Judge Boyd enforce her judgements. She is awesome... I love how she instructs her court proceedings. As a victim of sexual child abuse the abuser does not think about nor care how much damage they inflict on their victim. It is such a selfish self serving act that often times destroys the lives of the victim forever. At 65 I still suffer and have had to live with the trauma of sexual abuse inflicted upon me starting at the age 5 ending at 11. Not having someone to stand up for me or protect me was almost as traumatizing as the abuses. GOD BLESS her for protecting those girls from the stepfathers sexual abuse and the betrayal of the mother.

Thank you Judge Boyd for standing up for these children when their own mother wouldn’t. Such a sad world we live in. 😢

These poor children were victimized twice - once by him and then again by the mother. This woman doesn’t deserve her children.

I can not believe how absolutely horrific this mother is. The kids need to be removed from her home. She’s as much a danger as the perpetrator. This woman is evil!

Thank you Judge Boyd for keeping children safe by not releasing this person.

Bless that Judge Boyd for giving that horrid mother a piece of her mind. I'm so glad the children heard what she said too.

This is the first time Judge Boyd's voice gave me chills, because it sounded like she was about to crack. She handled her obvious anger so well, and told that "mother" exactly what needed to be said. I pray for those children, and everyone involved.

Witness intimidation will always be taken seriously by prosecutors. Severe consequences.

Look at his atty! (When he steps back in view)He even agrees when is listening to Judge Boyd. She is amazing! She is what our judicial system needs. She’s compassionate and firm! I only wish I could have met her grandmother to hear her wise words of wisdom! I often think about my granny’s words. What an amazing woman!

Whew. That was heavy. I am so, so thankful Judge Boyd presided over this as she’s wise enough to see what was going on and could address the so called mother as well as put the S offender behind bars. Unfortunately, people who think like that mother does won’t simply change with one speech, no matter how impactful it may seem to us. It will probably just make her mad, make her feel victimized by the courts, and hold an even bigger grudge against the judicial system because she didn’t want to accept the truth. The biggest truth in it is that she was complicit in the molestation of her children and so much more. She’s never going to look at herself in the mirror and face that though. She’ll continue to see in herself what she wants- no matter what the truth is, who gets hurt, or what’s at stake.

They'd have been locking me up and holding his funeral service. I can't imagine a parent who thinks they should keep a child molester bf/gf in the home. Children deserve protection, it's impact on your finances and your "love" life should be disregarded. It must be devastating for a child to be molested and then not receiving a parents complete support and understanding.

The way he accepts his sentence shows how guilty he knows he is.

I like Judge Boyd; she gives me hope for the American criminal justice system to be successful. We need more Judges who believe in repeat offenders having to actually serve their sentences and learn their lessons.

Judge Boyd is the best mom Texas has ever had. Just admire her so much.

Judge Boyd was 100% correct! What kind of messed up mother OR father forces their children to go through this horrible abuse and then ask for lenience for the abuser. 😡

The fact that Judge Boyd's voice was cracking when talking to the mother tells volumes. This got to the judge - and the if she had her way, the mother would lose custody.

Good on ya, Judge Boyd!! We need more like you, who put the children first!! ❤

Mrs. Boyd is single handedly one of the best and most professional judges i have ever seen.

Why isn’t the “mom” in prison? Did she stand accountable in any way? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thank you, Judge Body, for calling out BOTH perpetrators.

Excellent call Judge. Amen this sorry mother needed to hear that!!!

Judge is 100% correct. She is a great human as well as Judge.

The mother is just as sick and guilty as he is.

The mother revictimized her children all over again by her disgusting actions and in my opinion should be punished for it. Some women are so desperate to have a man in their lives that they will put their children In danger to do so.

I love that Judge Boyd made sure to say blame me not your child. She’s trying to protect her from that horrible woman taking out her anger on the daughter. Judge Boyd has such great empathy and understanding.

Lone Wolf, thank you for presenting cases like this. I am working on finishing my degree in early childhood education. I participated in a fundraiser this weekend in support of a DV shelter. Your efforts help remind me I need to work more with state politics. Parents need to get the message. Stop CA or go to jail. We have shelters and yes, it is hard to uproot your children to protect them from abuse. It is the law though. We need to educate parents how to look out for abusers. Few, very few ever rehabilitate. I needed someone to make sure I understood this. Being a survivor, religion taught me to be supportive and forgive. It was stupid teaching. Someone can be very good but bad when drunk. No serious CA and no SA. I had him arrested when he relasped. Rinse and repeat. I couldn't understand why rehab didn't work? It only works when you work it. It requires regular meetings for years. It requires focus without distractions. Why it is best children are not involved. DV shelters have resources. Sadly, too many people out there have issues. It is more like good luck finding a good partner. Not many of them out there. Be prepared to fail. Not enough good prospect. Find good support groups and use birth control. People, please support all forms of birth control. Having a child you cannot support. To play a fairytale that can turn into a nightmare. We know, even with laws, if your partner doesn't want to support their child? They won't. Very few pay enough to hold up their side. The worst will keep using you to get something out of the deal. Society is changing some. With great resistance. Why you learn employable skills. Support your kids education. If you want a child? Be able to support them. It is our right and responsibility to be able to care for ourselves and our children. Society has offered us some help. Not as much as is needed to provide a nice home if our partner flakes on us. But enough to keep us afloat. The rest is up to us. Laws have been written about CA and SA to protect criminals. Yes, to protect the innocent but in crimes against children? They are too weak. Public expects criminals to want to behave even though their actions prove otherwise. Criminals target children because they are born with a blank slate. Like putty, they have learned how to mold them into victims. Just as most of us try to teach them to be good. They only know good because that is what we teach them. Why, crimes against children of this magnitude must be as serious as murder. Many become criminals because criminals raised them to think this way. This case, just knowing there are many more like this, has to convince good people to please. Give less to churches. More directly to the groups doing the most good. This woman, like Shanda, Leticia, these mother who expect a certain lifestyle and will sacrifice their children to achieve it. They only bear children to use them as tools to get support from a partner. Like this mother crying, where is my beautiful house? Fancy purse? I will use my children as payment to make sure a partner will give it to me. Why, if this mother isn't prosecuted? Her children put into a safe house? All they may have learned is life is terrible and that terrible people get what they want. If a mother who helps a criminal commit terrible acts goes unpunished? It is okay. Kids are bad. Not mom. This is why the children should be removed. This mom was gutter bad. With intensive intervention she might be re-educated but these children need severe education that she cannot provide. Time is ticking for that window to help them learn how not to become abused or abusers. Mom is not that person.

CPS needs to be called on the mother. Those children need to be protected & their mother, obviously, cant be bothered. Any parent that would allow a their child to be around their abuser is disgusting!

absolutely despicable behavior. Hope these children grow up with a better home.

The " mother" needs Charges! And to be kept away from the Innocent Children!

I really like Judge Boyd - she has the interest of all parties involved and does what she can to help. Also, love the wolf!

I agree with Judge Boyd 100% of the time. In this case, the mother is just as culpable as her scumbag husband! How dare she use her sexually abused children as pawns for her own gratification and gain? 😡

I love when Judge Boyd goes off the record. ☕️

The way the defense attorney cracked a smile when he realized that Judge Boyd was about to go in....😂

Prayers for these children 🙏🏻 Thankyou judge Boyd 👏👏👏✌️

Shame on that man and the Mom!!! 10 yrs ain't long enough.

The despicable female that dares call herself a mother…I have no words to describe the utter outrage & CONTEMPT I feel towards her! My mind is blown! God bless those children, I pray for them with all my heart. 😢

To speak so firmly yet with such control, truth, and grace is something I aspire for. Great job Judge Boyd

The best Judge Boyd Mic 🎙️🎤 drop ever! Thank you 🙏🏻 Judge Boyd 💞💞 This Woman loves your Justice ⚖️

No Judge Boyd. You do not need to be blamed. it is the "mother" and "father".

Ugh....this jist pissed me off 😡 that mom needs to be in jail right with him 💯

It is beyond satisfying to hear righteous judgments!!!! Thank you Judge Boyd!

What an amazing Judge! She has the ability to cut through all the noise and see what is the real crux of the matter!

CPS need to get in on this!

Damn that off-the-record statement to the mom was masterful. Both a dressing down to the mother and a heartfelt plea to the mothers children to remind them someone cares and has their back. I hope cps or some other measure can be taken to help those children.

This lady is an outstanding judge. She rules from the heart and does not suffer fools gladly.

Sad that the mother would manipulate her daughter into saying all that! SICK PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD

The only thing I disagree with that Judge Boyd said is that if the mother wants to blame someone for her man being in prison she should blame Judge Boyd. No, she needs to blame her man who sexually assaulted children for being in jail! If he didn't do the crime he wouldnt be seving the time!

Thank you your honor as a survivor of child hood sexual abuse and phiscal abuse I appreciate you sending the message that you did

Love this Judge. Smart, decisive and strong. An absolute representation of what justice should look like.

That last conversation is the reason I love Judge Boyd so much! Judge Boyd you are probably one of the three or four best judges I have ever seen. God bless you!

Disgusting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hopes that in prison some good old fashioned justice will be brought upon him. "Mom" should lose her children, and her freedom.

No way the prosecution should be reducing the charges of any sexual related crimes ever!!!

You go Judge Boyd! Thank you. I agree whole heartly.

Great job judge. And for being diplomatic in addressing this horror of a mother!

Judge Boyd for president! She's attractive, sharp, sassy and has integrity in spades. What a fantastic judge!!!

That mother,and i use that term lightly, should also be in jail!!

THANK YOU JUDGE BOYD!!!! I wish more of your peers would act in this manner as well!!!!

I love how carefully Judge Boyd chose her words, but still let everyone know her BS alarm was going off.

Damn I love Judge Boyd. Those kids shouldn’t even be allowed back home. If their mother thinks pimping her kids out to pay the bills is ok who knows how long until she finds another man to ‘pay her bills’, she needs to be arrested and sent to jail as well.

Hard for me to believe a mother could do that to her own kids. I’m very lucky to have had a family who did anything to protect all children.

Judge Boyd is an amazing judge. She’s fair but extremely thorough, and won’t let anyone get away with any bs

I love the gentleness on Judge Boyd's face as she listens to the victim.

she spoke for those whose voices often go unheard and for those who are traumatized over and over again! that slow head nod, and slight smirk with her red lipstick when she said, "i'mmmmm sending him to prison" matterfactly, was the icing on the cake! bravo, Judge 👏🏾

Just one more thing I would have liked Judge Boyd to say: "And don't be bringing some other man into your home until there's NO CHILDREN in your life."

this judge is smooth, i like her. she composes herself very well

This is why I love this judge she speaks the truth and looks out for everyone, especially children I really respect her decisions when she's sending someone to jail you go judge!! Stephanie

These poor kids 🤬You know they were sooo relieved to hear he got 10 years.

Later, the Judge asked for help for the young girl and her siblings. It was heartwarming. 💕

Bless you Judge Boyd for standing up for the victims,

The fact that the Judge Boyd sees these kinds of things every day must be completely demoralizing. I truly don’t understand how she does not become a depressed mess. She’s quite extraordinary.

That’s why I love Judge Boyd!! That woman is a disgrace to mothers everywhere! I feel so bad for her children! That is VILE what she did to them! I hope and pray the prosecutors were paying attention and charges will be forthcoming! As for the children I pray they will be able to overcome this and be survivors! 🙏🙏

I love Judge Boyd. She is an absolute badass in the classiest way. I’ve never once seen her give an unjust sentence.

Thank GOD for this Judge! I pray those children can find new caregivers!

"Good luck to you~!" Perfect wrap up for that scolding. Said with some true 'bless your heart' energy.

Thanks Judge Boyd,for sending him to prison, and for addressing the mother, you were 100% spot on with everything., out of all the court videos that I’ve watched, I’d have to say that without a doubt you’re my favorite judge. It’s still a damn shame to me that the mother wasn’t charged in this case as well. But then again, I’m not a prosecutor, so idk.🤷‍♀️

This had me seeing red. CPS needs to be called and investigate the mom and her ass needs to be in jail as well. How could a mother do that to her own kids. DISGUSTING!! I love Judge Boyd she always looking out for the children. I hope the kids get all the help that they need.

Good call judge 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Thank you for protecting kids 🫶🏼

I absolutely LOVE this judge! Every word she said is exactly what I would have said. She has the wisdom and insight to see through what witnesses say and - more importantly - WHY they are saying it. I fully agree with some of the commenters' phrase, "You Rock, Judge Boyd!".
