STORY
Once upon a time, in a prosperous American city, the Gladsteins lived in a grand and elegant home. Marilyn and Peter were successful real estate agents, known for their luxurious lifestyle and impeccable taste. Their children lived a life of privilege, surrounded by the best of everything money could buy. However, behind closed doors, the Gladsteins were hiding a dark secret. They were involved in illegal animal abuse, a fact that came to light in 2012 when they were apprehended by the authorities. The police raid on their home revealed dozens of neglected animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and more. Marilyn and Peter were sentenced to 8 years in prison, and their once-beautiful home was left empty and forgotten. The children were left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, forced to come to terms with the consequences of their parent's choices. The Gladsteins' once-luxurious home stood as a reminder of their fall from grace. What was once a symbol of their success and wealth now served as a haunting example of the consequences of one's actions? The once-proud family was now a cautionary tale, reminding all who passed by of the importance of making good choices and living a virtuous life. Years passed, and the Gladsteins' children grew into adulthood, determined to turn their lives around and make something of themselves. They worked hard and went to great lengths to distance themselves from their parents' past, doing everything in their power to create a better future for themselves.

Michael and Marilyn Gladstein were arrested in September of 2010...that house was condemned just 1 week after their arrest so they were never allowed back inside which explains the advanced state of decay. The husband was a predominate and wealthy Dermatologist in Long Island NY. There were 115 dogs living in degusting conditions there. Marilyn ran a puppy mill out of that place. Michael Gladstein is still practicing in Brooklyn NY... though they were found guilty neither did any real jailtime. Their sentences were commuted to 5 years probation and they can never own animals of any sort. So that house has sat empty for 12 years now shadowed only by the memory of the terrible neglect those poor animals suffered. No food, water or warmth until that kind neighbor saved them from a terrible fate.

Another reason to never buy from a puppy mill. They almost always involve neglect and abuse although I’m sure this was one of the more extreme cases. Still puppy mills are always horrid to the animals. There are no good ones. They need to be banned.

@sav2823 Жыл бұрын

This is why it's so important to rescue OR find a RESPONSIBLE breeder. Not everyone can handle a rescue, I understand, just like not everyone can adopt a child. But in that case it's extremely important to put a lot of research into what makes a good responsible breeder and finding one so you aren't just paying for a possibly inbred puppy to be born into the filth of those garages with dozens of other dogs. Really sad reality. Looks like Marilyn literally just chucked them in those sheds and let them fend for themselves and do whatever. So disgusting.

Breeding should be banned as well. Money is the reason people breed. Sad. Get your forever pet from the shelter or a rescue.

Why the house was so decayed..They neglected it also.. This 8 bedroom, 4 bathroom mansion - nicknamed “Sweet Hollow” - was built on 27 acres in 1938 by attorney Francis Plimpton. He included a dollhouse in the back for the kids to play in. When Francis passed away in 1982, his wife continued living there until she passed in 1995. Then along in the 2000s came dermatologist Michael Gladstein. He purchases the mansion and he and his wife Marilyn settle in.

I did a little bit of searching on the internet about these people in this story. His name was actually dr. Michael Gladstein who is a dermatologist and his wife Marilyn was his receptionist. The information that I found said that the way they were brought to the attention of the authorities was because their smoke detector went off because of the high ammonia levels in the home. The story also said there was one pony and three goats it did not mention how many cats but it did say their work 115 dogs rescued from the property These people absolutely DISGUST me! The story also said many of the animals were removed from within the house where the detector went off because of the high levels of ammonia do to the urine in the house. These people were not good to their animals and to let their child live in that kind of cells makes up horrible parents as well I don't care how much they let their child dress up and bought her trinkets you don't let a child you love live in that kind of Filth.

This 8 bedroom, 4 bathroom mansion was built in 1938 by Francis Plimpton on a 27 acre piece of land he called Sweet Hollow. He built the little child's house in the back, for his children. He passed away in 1982, his wife lived there until 1995 when she left because she was too old to live in the house. In the 2000s, Michael and his wife Marilyn bought the house and lived there with their daughter Emily. It all came to an end, when the urine in the house turned to ammonia, which alerted authorities. Dressed in full hazmat suits, they found a horrible scene, dead animals everywhere. There were 115 dogs, 3 goats, one cat and one pony. 30 of the dogs were dead, some of their bodies found piled in the sink and bathtub. The pony's hooves were so bad, a hacksaw had to be used to trim it's hooves. They were fined $142,000.00 to take care of the animals and were arrested for what they did to the animals. The house is for sale, the price tag, 1.7 million. Michael still practices dermatology in New York.

The decay in the other one wasnt that bad yet and there was still a picture of their cat on top of the piano. I was wondering what happened to Emily after the parents went into prison so I checked if I find some informations about her and her life afterwards and I did. I found her instagram account, the same picture of their cat still on her account, and another page created by her friends. She's deceased in 2022. I don't knew her myself but it made me so sad to read about her passing...

These people collected animals like they collected things. They were true hoarders and I feel so badly for those poor animals that were collected and neglected. That is abuse. I’m a dog owner and lover so this explore was especially dark for me. It looked to me like Marilyn doted on her child so at least there was that, but was she trying to put pretty things in front of Emily’s eyes to try and disguise the ugly horrors that were going on at that place. This whole thing broke my heart. The young pictures of the house when it was white and bright were beautiful. I think the dark redecorating was a reflection of what was happening to the souls of Marilyn and Michael as they spiraled further into the world of animal abuse.

@deborahrobinson5266 Жыл бұрын

Reading on the condition of the house when the 115 dogs, puppies, and a few other animals were found and taken from there, no wonder the place is in such poor condition so rapidly. The ammonia from the urine of the dogs actually set off the fire alarm. I've never heard of this, but that shows how bad it was. It was said that the dogs were actually fighting over the water from the fireman's hoses. Hard to imagine what it was really like.

My guess about the dumbwaiter is that it was used to hoist firewood up to the living room with the fire place in it. There was probably an easy way to load firewood into the basement (that open area near the dumbwaiter perhaps) and then rather than carting firewood up the stairs or through the house, that was the cleanest and simplest way to bring wood to the fireplace.

In 2009 Carrie Cagata of Lee County, Florida faced 120 counts of Animal Cruelty. I adopted my Hound Dog from Cagata in 2008. She was married to an Oral Surgeon and ran an “Animal Rescue”. I found my Hound Dog on Pet Finder. The only thing written next to the picture of his face was that his adoption fee was waived. I KNEW that meant he was going to euthanized so I sped to the rescue to adopt him. The rescue was crowded but not overly so. It was clean and the dogs seemed well cared for. I didn’t see any red flags. When they brought my hound out he was so terrified he urinated on himself. I was horrified to see his ribs and vertebrae protruding. Carrie Cagata told me he was gaining weight after she “found him in the woods”. I had NO IDEA the woman had starved him and had a farm with almost 100 other dogs. Long story short, Boo had suffered tremendous abuse. It took almost two YEARS for him to really trust me. Boo was a tremendous challenge for years and all I knew to was love and care for him. Boo was the most gentle loving Dog I’ve ever known. He passed away last year at almost 17 years. I was privileged to have him for 15 of those years and miss him every single day. IDK why anyone would mistreat an animal. Wealthy people like this have NO excuse to neglect animals. Very sad what happened here. I’m grateful for the respect these gentlemen showed these animals memory.

I don't think they were living in the house when this happened. Only the dogs, sadly - alone and abandoned. From what you describe of her mother's behavior, it's pretty clear that she suffered from some form of mental illness that got worse as she got older. It appears that she suffered from periods of grandiosity that were punctuated by periods of absolute malaise and utter despair. The house was a reflection of her grandiosity. Her inability to properly dress herself was a reflection of her despair. I think that Emily was adored as a child, but emotionally abandoned as a young adult. I'm sure it confused her. I doubt she understood her mother's apathy and emotional withdrawal. I'm sure it broke her heart. She may have blamed herself. I hope she had someone to help her understand those childhood landmines as she navigated through her own adulthood. Sadly, I don't think she did. This is a family tragedy.

Hi guys! I love you guys and your show so very much. You're passionate about your work, you have compassion, love and kindness for people and animals. This video has left me feeling so sad but it's also good that you put it out there so that people know that they should never ever hoard animals. Such a great disservice was done to these poor animals by these people and their poor daughter. I've heard many stories like this and no matter how many times I hear it I can't believe the ignorance and selfishness of people like them. The little picture you see of a cat on my comment is my little Peanut. She died just this month the 6 of April 2023 I thought I would die to. It was unbearable the pain I felt of loosing her but, she was after all 19 years old and I was blessed to have her for 17 years. She was a rescue from outdoors. I was unconsolable up until 2 days ago. I miss her so much. Thank you guys for all the wonderful videos and I love that you always have a story to go with your videos. Keep up the good work.

I am a huge animal lover and I just can't comprehend why a human can do that. Why have animals if you do not love them? Maybe a sign of power to them. As for the "dumb waiter", there are a few older upscale homes in the USA which had them. I see the washer/dryer was upstairs, but some homes had them in the basement and the laundry chute was similar to the dumb waiter to throw the clothes down. This was once a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing.

My impression of Emily’s room being bright and cheery, and happy to total contrast of the master bedroom, dark and creepy. You did an outstanding job. Oh my gosh you just got to the attic. It looks like it’s just a total hoarders house. It definitely is a huge house over here. I feel sorry for the people who bought it. The cleanup will take months alone.
