As a victim of severe abuse & medical neglect by my parents, my heart goes out to those who didn’t make it out on the other side

I really hope the social workers and foster carer had some support for their trauma afterwards. I love how you praised the social workers in this case as it clearly wasnt their fault yet they always get the blame.

I spent 13 hours in intensive care watching my partner die from sepsis. I can not convey the pain I felt watching him go through his body shutting down but at least he had nurses and doctors helping him with pain relief and care so he could pass peacefully. This poor little boy didn't even have someone who would hold his hand and show him how much he was loved, nor to hear soft loving voices at the end. Finley deserved so much more than he received in his short life.

Poor Finley deserved so much more. My 9 month old baby boy is currently asleep next to me, I can’t even describe the love, bond and care I have for him! I’ll be thinking about this for a while.

Canadian First Nation fan here, I’d so much appreciate a deep dive on the missing and murdered indigenous women & girls or the residential schools , you have such an amazing way of covering these cases with respect and love, and think you’d reach a lot of ppl about these issues that my family,community and country are dealing with constantly , much love💟☮️

Thank you Emma , for giving Finlay the legacy he so deserves - bless him 💔😞

Going through IVF treatment and seeing so many children being born to undeserving parents is just heart breaking 💔

Im so touched by Finleys gorgeous innocent smile. I'm heartbroken for him that anyone could treat him with so little care. Thank you for telling his truth, and may he never be forgotten. Blessed babe, gone too soon.❤😢 Rest in peace, baby Fin.

Why are so many children getting murdered by their parents in the UK? We have a real epidemic of infanticide here in Britain.

I cannot even imagine how much pain that sweet little baby boy suffered. Literally he was being tortured. How can you look at that sweet face and decide to hurt him? I truly hope they both get what they deserve in prison for the rest of their lives.

Emma, I deeply appreciate your advocacy for women and children. I’m a survivor of childhood trauma and you validate that little girl in me that was never seen. Thank you! ❤

My sister was in ICU for 72 days after Doctors told her for about a year that her illness is in her head coz, they can't find a reason for her nausea and stomach cramps. Long story short, her colon burst inside her and she got sepsis. She "died" about 4 times and her "fight" and recovery started when the nurses sneaked her baby boy, age 5, into ICU to let her see him and she shouted at the top of his lungs (after being told to be really quiet) "Mommy!" and she lit up! She started recovering. Her vitals improved in that instance. She says in her book that the incredible pain even when being unconscious made her feel that she is ready to go but, when she saw him, she saw what she is fighting for and just knew, "I have to get through this coz, my boy can't grow up without his Mommy and I'll be damned if my husband found him another Mom!" So, I from what she told me, sepsis is HORRIBLE and to think that a baby went through that, caused by parents, while my sister willed herself to live against ALL ODDS for her child to be a parent is just... Awful... I'm sorry that your Dad and you all had to go through that Emma.

As someone who left DV on Boxing Day, 2020, I wholeheartedly agree. My ex was a 6”2, 13st man. I’m 4”9, and 5stone. It was terrifying. We lived with his parents so it was torture to keep that secret. Never bruises on my face but I remember screaming in fear with a house full of people. No one came to help me. I left early hours Boxing Day and I’ve never looked back. I’m now with the kindest, gentlest man I could ask for. Same height and build as my ex, but he is a softy. I’m a grown man, and I’m healing from that experience more each day, but the thought of children being with these evil people terrifies me

If Social Services is on lock-down & unable to perform their duties as usual, does it not make sense that all of the proceedings be put on hold? If you had your child(ren) taken away because of abuse/unsafe conditions, it's not going to hurt for you to have a few more months to prepare for your child(ren) to come home.

The end when you show his beautiful little face and he’s all snuggly in his sleep suit, had tears falling because all I wanted to do was pick him up and hold him tight and save him from any harm.. I know we all feel like this .. heartbreaking 💙..

Despite the harrowing topic being discussed, I am so heartened to see the comments from my fellow Emma Kenny subscribers. It's reassuring to know that although we are coming together for such a horrendous story, I am thankful that so many of us are disgusted and heartbroken by what these people have done to this baby. Hope everyone is doing well and feeling safe. Sending love to you all, and your pets if you have them 🥰❤️

As having a still born baby boy my heart breaks every day literally anyone could knock on my door and say I dont want my baby and I would happily take any child in need in and love and cherish them how is life so evil to allow theese monsters to have theese angels when genuine loving people can't have babys r.i.p baby boy love stace x😢❤

The way you want nothing but justice for these babies is why I come back to this channel. The way you word your emotions on these cases is in a way I can never quite put it. Like you said, all of us here are here to grieve these babies and support you in giving their stories the limelight they deserve and your hyper focus on change. I’m seriously considering going into social care but I have trouble staying hard faced and would be really emotional and probably cry in the houses if I had to do awful visits or just want to take the babies straight with me . These babies deserved to live , like you said they meant something even if that was to us all here right now, they mean something

I’ll never understand how anyone could see a little baby and want to hurt them in such an horrific way. The innocence of them.. I’ve been in childcare for nearly 20 years, kids can be unbelievably frustrating! But to hurt them.. I can’t imagine. I’ve nannied several sets of twins, that was a lot of frustration, especially when they were itty bitty! Walk a way for a minute and catch your breath. Why fight so hard to get him back if they had no love for him?! Breaks my heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful boys story, and yes, anger and tears for sure. My husband sat next to me while I watched, I was explaining to him how horrific his injuries were for such a little guy. Babies are so bendy, the amount of force they used. Love to him and those who love him. Love to you and our community who listen and share their love with us.

My only child was born 16 days before findley was. I can think of all those little moments him growing up and thinking that this baby should have been doing too. Even during lockdown, if my son sneezed the wrong way, I was demanding to see a doctor to the point I screamed at a receptionist, my son was always at the doctors because I was so scared after him being in special care after he was born, I was terrified that his heart murmur was making him breath funny, he didn't take well to the breast one day so I was worried he had a bad stomach, literally anything I thought was out of place, he seen a doctor. His first Christmas was magical but now hearing that this poor baby didn't get to wake up to all that magic like my baby did, it breaks my heart 💔

I genuinely teared up when Emma commented on the compassion of her viewers and when she referred to us as her community. ❤ Thank you Emma for giving these angel babies a voice when they are no longer here to be heard. ❤

Crying my eyes out, Emma a beautiful tribute and legacy, your humanity is humbling ❤

I’m constantly flabbergasted/angered by these cases!! Honestly what the hell? These poor children who are birthed to actual complete degenerates/scum of the earth wronguns. I can’t even begin to imagine what the beautiful baby boy went through. I hope that someone in prison gets to them two & makes them suffer just like the way they made their son endure. I hope that every second of the day in prison is hell on earth & that gorgeous boy haunts them until their dying day. Thank you again Emma ❤

Absolutely horrendous I will never know how anyone could hurt an innocent child thank you for telling this story. RIP Finley

Such a young child to have suffered so much abuse in his short life. Another little angel in heaven far too soon. 👼👼xx

I have watched all your episodes, this one has had me crying that hard i couldn’t breathe .. thank you for being a advocate for all these children 🫶🏼

What a beautiful little boy. Fly high 🙏💖😢

This case is absolutely heartbreaking 💔 When social services think a home is safer, they SHOULD be making sure it's SAFE, drop the 'r'!!

Thank goodness they both got a long sentence this time because some of the sentences in the U.K. is laughable & what is happening lately so many people killing their children it’s so sad, thank you Emma for giving him a voice, I can’t imagine what that poor soul must of went through

Poor baby with broken ribs wouldn’t be able to even cough; to help himself. Having broken a rib… with pneumonia, just one, I feel sick at this precious baby’s pain 😢 this is what evil looks like

The lockdowns were awful. So much sorrow, lonelyness and sadness. Vulnerable children, old people and people who lived alone were the ones that have sufferd the most. So much children who have died at the hands of their abusers during the lockdowns. 😢

Thank you Emma for putting these stories of people that didn't get a chance to live to tell their own ...love to you and yours ...everyone here ❤️

I almost died from sepsis and I can tell you it's very very painful on its own. I was two days away from dying. I can't imagine the pain this little baby was experiencing. It'd infuriating

Thankyou for covering this one emma I followed the whole trial and it absolutely broke my heart. Its really going to highlight misplaced trust...the dangers of domestic violence and reunification with high risk parents 💔 I know i won't get through this one without tears 😢 RIP beautiful Finley Boden how I wish it never happened x

I was watching you on Britain’s darkest taboos earlier and I totally love the difference between your demeanour I love your attitude on UKposts but you always have empathy for the victims you can tell how big your heart is My heart breaks for this poor innocent baby boy!💔💔

My and my ex-wife's cherished twin-baby daughter died in 2015 at 10 and a half months old due to sepsis. It truly destroyed us. The pain of that has made us both 2 completely different people than we were before. I just shared this because the slightest thought of my (or any mum and dad's) children coming to any harm is unbearable; yet these two subhuman pieces of filth didn't care for their son at all. As Emma says "He isn't their concern". What evil lurks in these people...

To watch this the same day as I saw the video of the conservatives partying at Christmas 2020, when we were in lockdown, I was working in Oncology witnessing people take their last breaths without any loved ones around, and babies like this going through these experiences during lockdown, supposedly following the rules... my word, it absolutely boils my blood

Broken hearted 💔for this poor sweet baby boy. Rest in peace and love 🩵🤍🩵 Thank you for telling these stories, as difficult as that may be for you to research case after case after case of these terrible stories. Thank you for your truthfulness as well as your deep compassion for the victims and their families. Much love from San Francisco ❤️

I grew up in a dysfunctional home. Marajuana was always in abundance but food rarely was. I grew up watching my father beat my mother mercilessly and she took her frustrations out on me. At 11, I was fortunate that my mother kicked my father out and I went to live with my grandparents. Moving in with my grandparents was truly the best thing that ever happened to me. As an adult who still carries trauma, I appreciate your perspective, political and other. Please never change❤.

My heart goes out to the foster family that took care of Finely the first nine months of his life. I cant imagine the pain of his loss for them.

There is a part of me, when Emma is showing pictures of the tidied house full with provisions of food & toys & warmth & love & the mother is expressing her excitement about having her baby son in her care at last, there's a part of me that wants to believe Finley was returned to them & that they, having turned their lives around, went on to bring him up with love & with kindness & with joy. A part of me that pauses the video for a moment, as if I can stop this inevitable tragic, barbaric, horror filled end to the story. That part of me is about to be destroyed, like baby Finley's life, as I will continue to listen, to watch until the end...

Honestly Emma, you hit the nail on the head. That beautiful little baby = cash to them. Absolutely nothing more than that. I fully believe that benefit money is the motivation behind almost all of these cases. The very thought of it makes my soul leave my body.

Thank you for bringing us this story as heartbreaking as it was 😭 I would have taken this precious boy 10 times over. I understand the pandemic lock-downs created issues. However, social services could have masked/gloved up to make at least 1 surprise home visit. I was working in-home healthcare and still went to patients' homes. Poor Finley's parents were despicable! They should be suffocated, as was he. RIP Angel Finley in God's loving arms 💖

Thank you for covering this one. I seen you in Chesterfield unfortunately I couldn’t stick around and meet you as I needed to get back to Sheffield to let the babysitter go but I did think you would be asked by a few people that night about this extremely sad case. As a mum to an almost 9 year old little girl I still remember her at Finlay’s age still wanting lots of mummy cuddles but wanting to explore the world around her it breaks my heart how this little boy was treated by his, well I can’t even call them parents. I will never ever understand how people can hurt children especially their own flesh and blood. RIP sweet boy 😢

Hi Emma, no need to apologise for your views on lockdown. Totally agree. Never supported it and never will. We are all suffering the consequences now. Thank you for giving a voice to all these poor children.

This is just beyond horrific to hear about. That poor baby 😢 39 days of pure pain & torture. Just breaks my heart.

Had to watch this in about 4 separate parts, was too tough to get through in one go. How many times do we see this happening, time n time again then we get the same BS of lessons will be learnt. Finlay's beautiful face will forever haunt me & rightfully so, to forget him or not acknowledge what he went through is like he never existed. Thank you Emma a beautiful tribute to Finlay 💙

I wish I had someone like u around when I was a child. I actually had a psychiatrist laugh when he heard my story. He apologized right away and said he just couldn't believe I am as sane as I am. I've always wanted to write a book. I guarantee most people would think it was fiction.

Totally agree with your political stance…we were screaming our concerns and non compliance from the rooftops about the devastating effects of lockdowns and were brandished ‘conspiracy theorists’ or ‘anti-vaxxers’ or ‘covid deniers’… It gives me absolutely no pleasure whatsoever to be proven right now all these failings are coming to light…💔

This case was horrific and brought me to tears Fy high beautiful Angel Finlay you're safe now no one can ever hurt you again, you will always be remembered ❤

Your commitment to children is a large part of your charm! You so obviously love and have compassion to children of all ages. Dear Finley looks just like my eldest daughter did at the same early age. Big Round basically bald head, sparkling blue eyes and big smile. Brought tears to my eyes. I can't even imagine a legitimate reason for Finley to have gotten Sepsis. All those broken bones! My God how did that poor baby muster up even a weak semblance of a smile! I hate these 2 evil wastes of space "parents". I don't use hate often. I truly hope they both get big burly baby loving child protective, very large strong cell mates. No parole for ever would have been nice. In the UK is the 28 and 29 max or minimum terms? Too bad the magistrates can't be held culpable. Covid took too high a toll! 36 children dead or in my opinion useless Covid shutdown.

Dear sweet Emma, I know it's especially painful to do cases involving children. I just wanted to thank you for getting these stories out. Love you, love your channel and love your hair xxx

This is so like the Lola James case that recently happened in my area. I agree with Emma’s thoughts on lockdown in this respect - social workers are key workers in my opinion and should have still been allowed to visit to protect these children. RIP beautiful baby Finley you deserved so much better ❤

Just watching now. Listening to the part where you describe them laughing and it has taken me straight back to the moment my baby died, the howling, the sobbing, the sounds that came from me that I hope to never hear again. Evil. Beyond evil. Such a hard watch as my daughter ultimately died of pneumonia. To think of poor Finlay suffering like that…Nobody trying to help him. My daughter had a whole team trying to save her. Heartbreaking 💔 Sleep tight sweet boy ❤

Finley's story breaks my heart. 39 days and they absolutely wrecked this precious baby... they very much went out of their way to make sure they had the opportunity to mistreat and harm an innocent child. Thats a whole different level of depraved. They couldve left him in the custody of people who cared about him, genuinely. May prison treat them both the way they treated their son.

My lil boy is called Finley.. looking at little baby suffering like this breaks my heart. hugged my kids extra hard now after seeing this or anything like this.. RIP Finley Boden.. I hope paradise exist for you

Thank you for diving sooo deep and sharing your passion,for justice for our children,Emma xx 🙏🏻❤️🇩🇰

THANK YOU EMMA for speaking the TRUTH about the lockdowns. I admire you and you are 100 percent the type of person we NEED in this world to show the people who are blinded by the b.s they’re being fed!!!!! The amount of abuse that went on during the lockdowns is SO sad and could have been avoided. It’s very very upsetting. 🙏🙏🙏

We ARE in a university of stupidity - Full Stop. People lost their minds in 2020. This child suffered, not only at the hands of the parents, but at the hands of the government. They have a lot to answer for, and charges of abuse and murder should also be levelled at the government and the medical profession.

Emma, thank you for advocating for vulnerable children. I worked in crisis mental healthcare and have seen the effects of multigenerational trauma and neglect. I also am a survivor of abuse and neglect. I agree with everything you said about how these parents acted. We need more people like you!

How could anyone do this? RIP beautiful little Finlay, he deserved so much more…this one had me in floods of tears.

In this case I feel the government failed this baby. It really does seem social services tried so hard to protect Finley. It's heartbreaking when you think of how many babies, children, wives, husband's lost their lives during the pandemic. But especially the children. RIP Finley❤

You are one of my favourite youtubers because you don't sugar coat the grisly or tough details. It's Important to know exactly what every victim went through no matter how visceral

Thank you for being authentic. I am so tired of listening to phonies who are too worried they’ll offend someone who needs offending and trivialize the victims. Personally I feel anyone, male or female, should be mandatorily sterilized if they abuse, neglect, or murder a child, ANY child.

Hello, Emma, and Thank You. Just started this, but my heart is already hurting for Baby Finley! 🕯️🕯️🕯️🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️💔💔💔

Thank you so much for covering this 💔 😢

So, I just found your channel and I'm glad I did. I'm Brazilian and even though there are some foreign people who talk about true crime I really like, for most cases it usually bothers me the lack of "more valid" emotions on true crime videos. This kind of thing does make us sad, but also makes us angry, shocked and struck. But I commonly see youtubers trying to make a scene over it to call attention or being unnecessarily sassy, instead of actually showing emotions for the victim. Thank you very much for being this sensitive

Thank you for covering this case. I live locally and it’s been haunting me for years. I’m so glad people are aware of what Finley Boden experienced and that globally we stand with Finley ❤ gorgeous baby boy, may you be resting in eternal peace.

My oldest son is 30 now. In May 1993, his father passed away... And 5 days later, my son was hospitalized with bronchiolitis at 5 months old. He was seriously ill and I was a wreck. How anyone could hear their baby struggle to breathe and do nothing... That unfathomable to me. That's barbaric and evil.

This story has left me emotionally drained Emma. I thank you for bringing this story to us, it was difficult for you too. For once child protection services tried their damn best to protect Finley, yet they were over ruled in court! I wonder how that judge feels now? Obviously the judge fell for the parents lies and acting skills! I'm always angered by child protection services, but this sad case, it wasn't their lack of getting it right. They were on the ball 100% and still baby Finley was given back to the parents, and died in angony 6 weeks later!! Bless you sweet Finley, your in Gods arms now! Im so very sorry you went through so much pain and neglect! ❤

Emma, please don't apologize for your views about the lockdowns. You are absolutely right. I live in FL where we have a governor who used a bit of common sense to stop the worst of it. It was still ridiculous. just not as bad as some of the other states. Look at you, almost 200K subscribers.. Congratulations on your well deserved success!

Thank you Emma, for always giving your in depth content, but also doing justice to the victims. I always sob at your endings, but this one had me balling my eyes out. I don’t understand some humans 🥺😭 my baby has just turned one. I cannot CANNOT imagine this scenario and it makes me sick to my stomach even thinking what this poor innocent baby went through 😢 utterly devastating

Thank you for sharing what happened to your dad in 2013 i attempted suicide by jumping in front of a train and lost my leg it was after a break up i want to get into mental health services so im doing a course and I'm volunteering for the NHS mental health services because we need to help more people with mental illness especially young men and women

Emma your political stance is the same as mine , this made me cry , you are one of the most compassionate, intelligent & professional presenters on UKposts, thank you for all your work… can’t wait to buy my T-shirt ❤️

That rattling sound I believe provokes a primal reaction in a mother. My son is autistic so doesn’t communicate well. The moment I heard that sound I knew something was very wrong. He ended up in critical care and recovered very quickly thankfully. But I’ll never forget that sound. I go into him every night while he sleeps just to make sure he’s breathing ok. It’s traumatising

Emma thank you for sharing his story. X

I work in substance misuse services and love that you said that most people who use substances are not bad people, because they are so easily demonised. Sorry, it's an aisde to the purpose of the video, just wanted to acknowledge what you said

Before I listen to this case and become angry sick and heartbroken on a lighter less serious note I wanna say Emma ur hair looks amazing idk when u got it cut but it looks great!🥰

I'm so pleased that you show your passion for innocents and don't mince words, it's exactly the attitude that is needed in order to bring about change. I really hope you took some kind of mental health day after what must have been truly harrowing and horrible research. Thank you

Thank you Emma for another true crime episode. I can never get my head around why someone would abuse a child. It's just sickening. I agree with your views about lock downs.its awful and terrifying for innocent children that get locked up with these monsters. My heart breaks for Finlay what a beautiful little boy he was. It makes me so angry that children keep being abused and murdered by the people who are supposed to love and care for them.

Right there with you Em. 100% for our children, 100% for all children. Another candle is burning. The light you shine for these sweet sweet souls is most powerful, precious and so important. Thank you Emma. Much love Finley, much love little man, and may those bastards burn in hell. 🥺♥️🌺🎈

I live in Chesterfield & I remember the huge local response to this case … Thank you for covering thins 😢❤

So many out there wanting children, to love and care for and then monsters like this get the chance to do that and cause such horrific damage instead. Poor little boy 🙁 I will never understand how someone can hurt a child. Glad you’re covering all these cases, these poor babies need to be remembered 💖

My dad broke his pelvis. He was kicked by a horse, close range, whilst he was against a wall. That's the power required to break a pelvis. These people are monsters.

Wow Emma 😢 very devastating case to cover, thank you for delivering the case with compassion and empathy. thank you for clarifying the doubts regarding social services. We do always find cases where social service have failed, in this case they deserve praise. 😢😢😢😢😢 rest peacefully baby Finley ❤❤❤❤❤

Emma, I hope YOU are ok. I cannot for a second imagine how harrowing & draining researching these cases must be for you. I know you have a very loving family who I’m sure will be very supportive but please always make sure you’re able to take some time for self care, remember self care is not selfish. Sometimes we forget that in amongst our busy lives but what you are using your platform for is so important - we (your supporters) don’t want to see you burn yourself out. Thank you thank you for helping raise awareness & for helping keep all these vulnerable souls memory alive. Xx

I love the passion you have for these little ones! This one was especially heartbreaking. You have a new subscriber!

I can't. I don't know why; I have watched many distressing cases or read about them. Upsetting of course, always, but over the last couple years I just can't watch any with children. It's like I shed a layer of skin, emotionally. I love Emma but I just can't.

What a beautiful, compassionate and intelligent person you truly are. Your politics are spot on to. Thank you Emma,Dusted. God bless all 🙏

There's not many true crime videos that I struggle to watch, but this one was a real struggle. Majority of the injuries that were listed, I had as I baby, hearing how the injuries may have been caused has made me realise what exactly I might have actually been through as an infant at the hands of my biological mother. I was saved when I was 18months old, but very very sick. I was one of the lucky ones, so many get failed by the system 💔

Hi Emma! I watch every case of child abuse u cover,I’m studying to be a social worker to make sure I can safe guard children as much as I can! We have a lot of these cases in New Zealand aswel it makes me soooooo heartbroken and angry. Thank u for sharing .

I LOVE your vids!! I love the population that you advocate for as well. I can foresee you turning all of this into something huge to help those poor children lost through the system and victims of such monstrous parents! Keep doing such amazing work!😘

That poor little beautiful baby how on earth can some people be so cruel R.I.P little Finley your safe now in the arms of the angels so sad

I'm so glad u covered this case, it completely broke my heart from it happened, I hope they get everything they deserve xx

I watched this yesterday and had nightmares the night after, horrific, egocentric slobs. They demanded hím back just for torturing him. I agree 100% with your political rants because its the truth! I will hug my 8 month old Baby boy extra often today. RIP sweet Finley😢

Poor darling boy , this breaks my heart 😢 I had pneumonia and its like slowly drowning by the fluid in your lungs ...absolutely awful , bless him . Rest peacefully baby boy - those beasts cant hurt you anymore precious boy 🧸💐 🩵🩵🩵

Emma! As horrific and sad and hard as it was to listen to this story of that poor innocent soul. You did the job beautifully. You have so much compassion and love and it shows through. Honestly I don't see how you only got 3,000 thumbs up you should be getting 3 million I tell all my friends about you until the next time my friend

My son was born w 3 broken ribs & 2 broken collarbones from birthing difficulties. I remember the intense pain he was in for 2 months until they healed. He wud wince in pain often & squirm. It was aweful to see. As Em spoke, I grimaced remembering my son's pain. I cant imagine what this wee child experienced with All these broken bones, bruises and sicknesses he experienced; just HORRIBLE, horrible ongoing pain. Dear Finley, you mattered & I will remember you. You are infinitely loved by me. 🕊💟🕊💟🕊 Fly high beautiful child

Cried from beginning to end. People like these creatures don’t deserve the titles of “mother” & “father” 😡 Anyone who could put a poor defenceless baby through that needs stringing or up put in a room with members of the public to give out their own kind of justice!! If I wasn’t from Scotland and was in England the temptation to commit a crime and end up locked up wherever that THING is and make sure you never gets out would be too great!! RIP Little Man 😇 You deserved so much more in your short 10 months in this world 💔

I recently witnessed first hand the devastating consequences and pain caused by sepsis in a teenager, my heart breaks thinking of the pain that Finlay must of been in. Xx
