this attorney really went to bat for this child, he's amazing. thank you sir for such integrity .

Timothy was 62 lbs, he died of starvation and exhaustion, she tortured him to death. He endured months of slow painful existence until his body gave in. Justice for Timothy.

Refusing to eat bread soaked in hot sauce is not a ‘hunger strike’.

His father didn't even show up at court! He wouldn't even stand up for Timothy in death! Then he couldnt even be bothered to give a victim impact statement for his child. That sperm donor should be arrested for violating a court order and abandoning his child with this abuser! She lost her parental rights for a reason! She was abusing her kids so much that the courts took her kids away from her! Why tf would he give the child back?! Timothys blood is on his fathers hands to!! The whole family abandoned & failed Timothy! They should all be ashamed and burry their heads in the sand with guilt! Shaunda & Paul used Timothy as a human punching bag! They wouldnt even let him die in peace! This case hit me so hard. I just feel so defeated because his death could've been prevented had someone, anyone stepped in. But all of these selfish bastards only care about themselves

I cannot imagine what a horrific experience this must have been for him. No food, no clothes, no friends, no life, no love, no family, he had to know. Everyday punishment and pain and discomfort. Rest in heaven poor Timothy on Gods love and comfort and no pain. How truly horrific for this boy.

She should have to eat bread and hot sauce three meals a day for the duration of her prison stay!!!

The father who had custody of Timothy and then sent him back to his mother when there was a court order that the mother was NOT to have custody or unsupervised visitation should also be charged! He violated a court order and placed this boy in the danger that killed him!

The worst part is that somewhere someone is being tortured right now. 😢 its painful to think there are people like this on earth.

She is a poor excuse for a human being, let alone a mother. Her cruelty is beyond “punishment”.

She was proven to be a liar on the stand yesterday by the prosecution. She knows she is guilty, she doesn't want to face reality. Hope the sentence is long and her comforts little.

He not only died of starvation from food but also from love; he also died from a broken heart!😢

Thank you Mr.Prosecuting Attorney for the long nights away from your family working on this case to get the facts clear. Thank you for speaking for a young boy who could not speak for himself today. I pray your hard work brings justice for Timothy. Well done.

His mother hated him because she could not ever control him no matter what she did.His father is just as guilty he signed that poor kid's death warrant the day he dropped him off at the mothers knowing legally she was never allowed to be alone with him.

Phenomenal prosecutor. Thank you. Justice for Timothy. Rip young man.

Those who want Timothy's "father" prosecuted for this atrocity!👇

Not just criminal. But absolute evil.

This prosecutor is good.

She didn't have the courage to face her horrendous actions today, what an absolute coward-not surprising.

The natural father had knowledge of this woman's past child abuse, his duty was to release the child into Foster Care, maybe a Group Home, and well supervised. The natural Father is complicit because he failed in due diligence to check up on his impaired child.

This Attorney gave a stellar closing argument. Stellar.

This and his rebuttal were so well done. Thank you for fighting for Timothy and giving him the voice stolen from him in life. Rest In Peace, Timothy.

My heart breaks for Timothy…. Poor boy. She knew exactly what she was doing! She should be put away for life. The whole thing is unspeakable… horrible!

I love this prosecutor! He sounds so natural when he speaks, so honest, so passionate, and everything he says makes sense. Welldone! Excellent delivery; easy to follow. Bless you.

The fact that she admits she has not spoken to her adult children says a lot they probably dont want anything to do with her

I have a disabled daughter, and it breaks my heart what this lying female did to Timothy. As a parent, stranger, or human being, we are supposed to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. My life is forever changed.

The prosecutor really did a good job speaking up for Timothy.

She couldn't remember anything yet when her attorney questioned her she had an unlimited memory even over stressful issues!! She is a real piece of work!!!!

The mother convicted herself on the stand yesterday. I was physically I’ll yesterday listening to her.

The dad should face judgement for sending him to live with the mom who already had issues with being a bad parent.

Who else love this prosecuting attorney?❤ He is so disgusted by this appalled behaviour of a mother.

Poor kid was probably gasping for air! That’s why his mouth was open😢😢😢I’m so sorry I couldn’t help you Timothy! RIP dear child

For a long time, Tim had no one in his corner. Thank you, prosecutor Roberts, for so passionately stepping into the shoes of protector and giving Tim’s final moments a voice so poignant not to be ignored.

I thought that Timothy ferreiter was a monster for keeping his son in a box until I came across this trial but this woman takes the cake, I hope that she's found to be guilty and given the longest sentence possible . Rip Timothy

So Tim’s father never tried to contact him? Never tried checking in with him? Never tried to visit? If not, he needs to held accountable as well.

My heart breaks for Timothy. Hell awaits that woman

What a horrible mother and to involve her other son is even worst.

The amount of hate she had for this child is beyond understanding....he suffered so much.....poor child....he is free now may his soul rest in peace 🕊️

Having just watched this woman’s testimony I can say that for the first time in my life I have witnessed PURE EVIL. Just heartbreaking

I dont care what health conditions this woman is dealing with, she should be required to be present. She has a “panic attack”, she vomits at the sight of her own son when she didn’t seem to care what he looked like any other time, and now she is incapable of handling the rest of the trial because its too upsetting? She is a sick, disturbed, horrific, depraved human being!!!!! This poor, sweet boys life was an atrocity! At some point she will learn what its like to be kept and treated like an animal.

But can u really call "stealing food "when ur trying to eat in your own home?...unbelievable

“Can’t remember”.. yet remembers how to show up to work & even remembered the answers to a very hard exam for her career choice!

If he had lived, he would have ended up being mentally disturbed from all of this abuse, physical and mental. He was 60 pounds underweight. She is a sadist.

Is the father going to be prosecuted for sending his son, who he had custody of, to the mother, who was not supposed to have custody of the boy? His son's blood is on his hands, also.

I cant get my head around how a mother could do this to a child that she carried for 9 months. I think that she sealed her own fate with her performance yesterday, she's pure evil. Rest in peace, Timothy. Paul was old enough to know right from wrong, he should have protected his brother.

Frozen pizza rolls while Timothy is cold in an ICE bath. That woman did not love Timothy…why, I do not know…but she did not love him. I noticed she kept saying “punishment”… not discipline…….but PUNISHMENT! Yes, she is a monster. The reason she is dressed the way she is WITH braids…and no make-up…..she is trying to elicit sympathy from the jury on how young and innocent she looks…….MONSTER! And…. where are Timothy’s grandparents…….AND his father?

She must think forgetting your crimes absolves you of them! Well it doesn’t!

Is the monster still faking an illness or is she back yet? Smh.. She only did that bc she didn't want to answer the jurors questions and she got torn up on that stand by this prosecutor. You can hear it in his voice just how repulsed he is by her.

After she is convicted go after the Dad who gave those kids to her. He knew she wasn’t safe so neglect at the very least.

This poor child suffered for so long and had no way to get help. This is heartbreaking. This mother hated her child.

This prosecutor really cares. It emanates from him. Respect.

I would have charged this child's father, too.

This is so heartbreaking. This woman is utterly demented and a menace to others. I hope she spends many years in prison.

Best prosecution team ive seen in years. He really cared about the victim

The prosecutor was extremely well spoken, she is a monster

BRAVO to this prosecutor !! Excellent job Sir ! We applaud your service to Timothy

Poor child was disabled and then abused . This was horrific . She needs a life long sentence. And the poor brother. Heartbreaking.

This prosecutor was phenomenal!!! Thank you Jesus that this man was able to speak for Timothy!!!

An ice bath? For hours? I can’t wrap my head around this.

This woman was treating her son like a sadistic lab experiment

As a mother of 2, I’m in tears listening to what this poor boy endured at the hands of the one person that’s supposed to love & nurture him. I cannot even begin to imagine the sheer fear that poor boy felt as he was tortured incessantly. As a prosecutor, he has done an incredible job in helping to seal this monsters fate. I can only hope justice is served for sweet Timothy with this poor excuse for a mother going to jail for the rest of her life

This thing is beyond evil. How can anyone do that to anyone, but your own child. Eye for an eye

This is a fantastic closing argument. This Prosecutor really cared about Timothy. Shanda is the sickest petson I have ever seen. Not as smart as she thought she was though, thank god, throw away the key and never let this monster see the light of day again! Paul too!

This one broke me… how, how on earth can someone do this to anyone let alone their own son… how alone and scared this poor boy must have been… my heart breaks for him… RIP Timothy… you deserved so much better 😢💜

Rest in Peace Timothy. You didn’t deserve this, no child does. And the braided excuse for a human didn’t deserve you or any child. Rest in Peace. I don’t know you but I celebrate your worth. Sympathies from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Great Prosecuting Attorney knows his stuff. Thank you Sir for not letting her win. RIP young man.

I have a son with special needs and she described Timothy’s behaviors (with food) similar to my son’s behaviors. It IS very exhausting and can be frustrating but NEVER EVER in my wildest dreams would we ever ever give our son hot sauce on bread or treat him in such inhumane ways! Timothy sounds like he had Prader-Willi syndrome but an individual who is severely abused, will also present the same behaviors as someone with Prader-Willi. a mother who truly loves her child will seek whatever help and support she can find so she doesn’t lose self-control or her mind. And the way she treated her other son listening to those text messages just about wore me out. I was so stressed out, listening to them and everything she made him do to his brother. She needs to take an ice bath every day for a couple of hours and be soaked in viper sauce, whatever the hottest sauce is and be treated just as she treated that precious precious young man. She can stand the wall with her hands up in the air. Inmates don’t take kindly to child abusers, so she is going to be receiving punishment. She stated something very interesting that she took custody from her ex-husband of Timothy because she didn’t want him to go into foster care . She is worse than foster care would’ve ever been. We adopted our son through foster care, we adopted him on purpose, special needs, and all. And as much as some days are very challenging We have such a deep, love and connection with him as if he was our own biological son, and this evil woman did this to her son her biological son. and then for her to not come to court because she was too emotionally upset. She wimped out because she knew she was guilty and they should’ve made her come. She needed to listen. She needed to hear what she did to her son and pay the consequences of her horrific actions. When she contacted I think she called it DHHS for Support or for help she said she called to vent somebody’s alarm should’ve gone off in their head and they should’ve done a check. Somebody dropped the ball. There needs to be follow up on that call.

I can’t believe this woman could ever imagine that she would be found innocent. She clearly murdered him.

She killed her own son and blamed everything for her other son. She thought she is smart. But she is guilty all over the place. She will be spending her life in prison

The worst kind of human being is the psychopath who delights in the prolonged torture of another. Her evil is unfathomable.

Thank you to this prosecutor for really doing his best to defend Timothy. She starved her own son while he sat in ice baths dying of hypothermia 🥺

Cannot understand the continued “punishment” for what? At that point he didn’t even have strength to disobey anything?? MONSTER !!!!!!

Such a sad case. It blows my mind that the natural protective instinct that all mothers should have can become so twisted in someone like this monster of a mother. God bless all those who have special needs children and rise to the occasion every single day. 😢

The ONE person in the world that SHOULD love you UNCONDITIONALLY. What an abject, utterly *depraved* BETRAYAL. This innocent child is now resting in the loving arms of God.

This case has haunted me since I first heard it’s details, and poor little Timothy has been on my heart ever since…I have a small boy and cry when I hug him thinking about how much I wished I could have been there for Timothy too….children suffer so much in this world, it’s almost unbearable to imagine 😢

She is so screwed she got her other son involved to her dirty doing! Now her son is paying for that too! She didnt deserves to be a mother!

She makes the Nazi SS death camps guards sound like teddy bears.

This woman deserves no mercy. As a survivor, I know what I speak!

Withhold food from her 2 weeks at a time when she’s imprisoned.

❤❤❤❤ The BEST attorney I've seen. So eloquent, heartfelt, and matter-of-facual. 👏 👏 👏

Thank you everyone, for being here. Raising my hope for justice for abused children.

Once she's found guilty, please send her to the same prison, unit ec etc etc Mitchelle Blaire is in. She's got an extensive history of attacking other inmates, guards.

Just recently I thought I’d try the ice bath fad that’s going round at the moment . I ran the bath with just cold water, I live in England and it’s the middle of winter but I didn’t have any ice to use so it wouldn’t have been as cold. I wanted to see if I could stand that first. Let me tell you it HURTS it’s painful. My leg muscles hurt for a while afterwards. It took me 3 attempts to actually dunk myself up to my neck and it was just for about 2 seconds and I jumped back out. I couldn’t stand the pain and shock. I really cannot imagine what that poor boy went through being forced to do that while already starving and without hope and having his brother dictate his position. He must’ve felt absolutely helpless against them. I also had a warm towel waiting on the radiator he had a tarp. That poor child. It’s unimaginable. That is sadistic torture. It’s literally what the nazi dr mengle would do to people to see how long they could survive it.

1 phone call and they would've came and gotten that child from the home , with zero cost to her

When i heard the lawyer say the last words the mother said to that poor boy " see dummy you dont have to open your mouth to breath" 😭 that poor poor boy my heart breaks and had me crying for that young boy to have to hear those words and the last words mind you from someone whos suppose to love him, be a caring and nurturing mother to him and protect him ....who instead was a evil monster to that young boy ..... 😭😭 RIP to that young boy Timothy 🌅🙏🙏🙏

Life in prison...no parole, please

The Prosecutor is the voice speaking for Timothy. Thank you for your good work and you were straight, you did your Job excellent. Thank you!

Child abuse? It is murder, pure and simple.

Unbelievable. What some parents will do to their children. Cruel.

Why this woman didn’t take the deal and admit to guilt is beyond me. Listening to the torture she subjected both Timothy & Paul too is vile & disgusting.

The cruelty here is unfathomable.

What a closing argument. Fantastic prosecutor and I actually watched his closing arguments.

I try to imagine living with this woman through a child’s eyes. The confusion and how maddening it would be to live with a person who has convinced you that they are perfect and righteous in every way and that your hunger was an ugly thing that needed to be punished.

Yesterday i said" the jury would be back in less than a hr. 58. Minutes. Place your bet.

Eating frozen food, my Goodness the poor boy was desperate for something to eat. She is cruel beyond words.

Her oldest son is just as guilty and cruel.he also deserve to go to jail

Why isn’t the bio father held responsible for breaking the law and giving this monster this poor child? He is culpable. He is guilty. The system didn’t fail the parents did. The parents! Both of them.

She should not have been allowed to be a no show, her son was tortured, he had no opportunity to opt out,it is giving her more rights than timothy got.

Prosecutor did such a good job here. Well said.

What I cannot understand is how HER attorney could even defend her. It turns my stomach.
