YOUR MOTHER IS AN AMAZING SOUL , i like to believe that people in coma's can still hear you somehow some way. 🙏

In my first clinical practice as a student nurse, there was a man who had recently gone palliative and had become unresponsive. My group was brought in to see some of the physical changes that were happening. It just felt so natural, to hold his hand while my instructor spoke. I know he was grateful for the touch and thanked him for his time. @@insertname942

I love your mother!!❤️

Mummas a Lightworker❤

Your mom.is an angel ❤

Oh they definitely did something to her to make her that way.

yep my thoughts exactly. they did something to her and then just let her rot away until she died.

The parents are lying about everything They thought she was evil probably hated her, abused her, by shoving things into her mouth to punish her.

My daughter has "Locked In Syndrome" (completely paralyzed) from being hit by a drunk driver over a year ago. She has feeding tube, catheter, etc. She communicated by eye movement until a few months ago we were able to get her a special computer. She focuses her eye on each letter and when she's done the computer will speak for her. It has to be positioned right in front of her eyes. I pray science comes up with a better way of communicating & diagnosing patients who are "locked in". It was her devoted husband noticed she could roll her eyes upward for "Yes" & down for "No". Family does Physical Therapy daily besides the appointments. She's never complained, is very brave, keeps hope. We care for her now at home. People who are locked in need dedicated families to care for & love them.❤

Yeah, they probably kept blaming something or someone instead of taking action. I’m seeing it more and more, as if we’re all powerless, we certainly don’t want to be “Karen”.

they only got 20 years

@louangeles3770 Yes, they'll likely only serve 20 years, but they were sentenced to 40 with 20 being suspended.

What the heck why didn’t they get sentence for life!

@@hunnybees9869 The maximum sentence for manslaughter in Louisiana is 40 years.

HALLELUJAH!

​@foolishlyfoolhardy6004 while they may not have intended for it to happen initially, 12 years is just too ridiculous to even be justifiable. Even 2 years is insane to think about per your example given. The human mind can think of something as normal and adapt to a situation quickly but what kind of situation like that could even be normalised? It is completely upto the people living with them to try their best to help them not just leave them there because as a loved one how can you not?

@tasnimanimanimaa and I'm not justifying it. They got 40 years, and that's good. I'm just saying we don't have to make up crazy fanfics about it - this is perfectly in the realm of possibility as a mental health issue and cognitive dissonance. Everyone failed this poor woman, not just her parents - they literally tried to get help from the doctor and were brushed of which would've sent them further into thinking this was normal and she'd get over it. Not to mention the "tight knit" community and noone went to check. The human mind can normalise anything, especially if it happens gradually. Go watch something about hoarding, animal hoarding in particular - where they genuinely believe they are helping and taking proper care of the animals, and yet are living in houses full of feaces and mould. The human mind can do that. People are not comprehending that she wasn't in that final condition for the full 12 years - that is not possible, you cannot survive that , it would've been a gradual decline in care.

Two adults could have lifted her and showered her. The could have designed special couches, massaged her and so many things. Home health and SS disability were available. So many thing s. They left so she would die. No these community leaders were not dumb just cruel.

I think when they left for vacation they premedicated her death FYI degrees of homicide are not uniform across states. Your explanations are thus not technically correct.

The way she kept her legs crossed suggests SA.

So disgusting

well first red flag is supporting the kkk. no one like that can be a good person

how could you walk past any living being in that state multiple times a day? Let alone your own daughter?

I hope there's a special place in 🔥🔥 for her sperm and egg donor. They're not parents in any way. When I think I've heard the worst thing ever, like the Shanda Vander Ark case, there's aIways something worse. Idk if Hades is hot enough for someone who could do such a thing.

No one is "lazy" to the point that they refuse to get off the couch. There was something seriously wrong with her and her parents ignored it. They hid it, because they knew it was wrong. It's bizarre and there's no excuse good enough to justify watching another human, your own daughter, rot in front of your own eyes.

Exactly. That is the most effed up thing I've ever heard. I can't even imagine. The thought just drives me up the walls. Image even the effect this had on neighbors and the community. How can you EVER trust people again?

if my parents didnt help me during my periods of immobility i fully believe i would not be here right now. i have no idea how she survived

​@@irllvrpremium She didn't survive.

@@KungPuKitty maybe they meant survived for as long as she did. It's honestly a wonder how she lived as long as she did being treated the way she was. What evil people

They must have been able to completely shut out what was going on over there on the couch

I personally think that the parents wanted her to die. Idk why but I feel it has something to do with the parents' mental health

@@Kaylathecoolest-fw6xw what horrible people they are. I can’t imagine wishing death on your own child.

nothing wrong with your language! it’s the unfortunate truth of what happened to her. Steph said she rotted as well.

i just can't help but assume they're a different kind of mentally insane/psychotic to watch their own child rotting away on a couch. My brain cannot comprehend the evilness without assuming they're not all there in the head

Exactly exactly 💯 no matter how much her depression or no matt3r what they thought that was but 12 years of watching their kid literally melting into the sofa with insects eating her there is no exuse for that like even 1 year is alot

​@@yumeyum9927en 48 HOURS IS A LOT!! It wouldn't even Cross My MIND to leave one of my CATS on a couch, unable to respond for an HOUR!! WTF WORLD??! 😮 THAT CAT would be in their case, on my back, me on my scooter bonzaiing through the snow naked if that"s what it took to get help for a creature in obvious distress. Folks, I can be sentimental, but when it comes to suffering I have zero patience when it comes to others. You do what needs to be done You MOBILIZE ALL Resources. YOU MOVE HEAVEN AND Earth TO reduce someone's pain and suffering I know this isn't how people tend to approach things these days. But that doesn't make it right That just makes it more imperative that those of us who still retain a shred of human feeling DO EVERYTHING WE CAN .. I'M just sick and angry right now. I need to go get some sunshine and fresh air. God Have mercy on your souls if you have any you ...subhumans- .Lacy's so-called parentsi 😢 Jesus Wept .

It is inconceivable to most of us. I mean, my skin crawls every time I hear about this case. I hope everyone involved get some counselling. Because I can't imagine that what they saw and had to do, wouldn't be affecting them in some way, shape or form.

And the fact that they still lied about their crimes?? they probably fed her sofa foam and her own feces because of their sick and sadistic kink. Like who tf would leave their OWN daughter to rot in the sofa and sleep, eat and walk in the same house like it’s normal?

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pYaipIekm4SbzJ8.htmlfeature=shared This how this poor lady end up. ****warning graphic***** I was crying for hour after seeing the picture. Had a night mare people take care of those in need

Omg those photos HAUNT me 😢

Could you describe the photo? Im a morbidly curious person but its nighttime and i know that image would be stuck in my head for weeks. ​@@lizzeyflower

@sairahilario it's her nude but don't see her face cuz she lay on belly. Her buns are not shown. I have seen plenty of graphic things from others to know what looks like. All you see how thin she looks and how her back was pale and little purple. Her hair just looked light brown. One nasty knot on her. That looks it had poop that can see om the edges. I don't blame not wanted to see you can't unsee what these monsters did. How could anyone do this to her. I was crying badly it hard to explain why.

Damn, I hope you are fully recovered now.

@@BubblesBulldog It took several months to fully recover but yeah 🙂 I'm all good now, thank you 🖤

@@ParanoidAndroid89so glad ur doing better! So sorry this happened to you.. s/o to your parents for taking care of you! Wish this lovely young lady got the same treatment but sadly we know how her story ends 🥺

@@dabest444u Thank you 🖤 My parents are incredible. I have a lot of issues that render me incapable of taking care of myself like a normal 35 Y/O & they go far beyond what should ever be expected of them to make my life comfortable. I appreciate them more than words can express. I can't imagine how much pain she must have been in, both mentally & physically & the knowledge that her "parents" completely neglected her is completely heartbreaking. It's amazing that she survived as long as she did but somehow that makes it feel even worse to think about the insane level of agony she must have been in with massive, festering & necrotising wounds & it probably goes to show just how long she was in this state considering that they were living normally amongst what is a POTENT smell. They clearly became nose blind to it. These scumbags deserve to experience exactly what they let their daughter endure for so long. It's sickening.

😮😮😮 Necrosis is too scary and painful. I didn't know that an abscess would lead to necrosis. Can you tell me how to prevent it? because recently my sister developed an abscess which was drained and antibiotics were administered to her orally and topically. It did subside but she has developed another abscess. I'm worried it might turn necrotic. Can you give any advice?

fr. how did they not drag her to a doctor after some time! how can you just look at someone and let this happen. i feel so sorry for her, not feeling loved and cared by her parents and passing in such a cruel way…. i hope she’s happy now wherever her soul may be

THIS. And when she was literally rotted?!! Thats so fucked on a whole other level. This isn’t neglect this is murder. Those two are absolute psychopathic monsters.

I totally agree. If you were walking down the street and saw someone who needed help, you'd help. I can't understand how could walk past this girl every day for 12 years and just allow things to continue that way. There's just no way this could ever become normal in a decent person's world.

@@NotVille_ wdym fakes her vids.. also I can't find any content on your page so idk what you're on about

I wonder when they took out a life insurance policy and for how much...

Because certain legal factors have to be involved to qualify it as premeditated. That's how these things work. There's no such thing as perfect justice.

​@@WeRNthisToGetHer and that absolutely sucks

Likely part of it is while they may have had intent to harm and neglect, the court can’t prove that they had specific intent to kill. It’s possible that her death was only the product of their actions, not the goal. Absolutely does not vindicate them, but it can’t be categorized as first-degree because their “pre-meditation” doesn’t involve intent to kill (as far as we know). Probably. I’m not a legal professional.

@@_McCormickProductions It doesn't suck. The alternate is that people get charged wrongfully (more often than now) because nothing ever needs to be proven.

Fr wtf is wrong with that judge??

Are* sick monsters 😏

Considering they actively cut off her social connections, I’d not be surprised if 1 or both parents abused her. Using homeschooling and her autism diagnosis as a way to prevent her from getting help. Edit: ah, I replied before I reached the part where people have the same suspicion I do.

The fact that she got more and more reclusive since an early age (14 I guess) tells me she was mentally abused and sexually enslaved, and eventually her trauma led her to be catatonic, allowing her to be tied down and tortured.

I missed that. So she was abused sexually? What happened to the parents? Are they in prison?

​@sandrawelch6653 Am currently at the 58:56 mark and so far its one of those things barely hinted at in the description of Lacey being "found" mostly nude, except for barely a shirt that didn't even cover her breasts. It's a small detail, easy to miss amongst all the other horrifying details, but one that suggests Lacey was probably suffering long before her couch days. Another small detail that's easy to overlook in this regard is she was pulled out of school as a teenager. Homeschooling isn't exactly something that gets *easier* the older a student is; it was a struggle with my young daughter during all the lockdowns (getting her to do the work; not so much the work itself.) Why would they randomly pull her out for no apparent reason? Perhaps some sicko reasoning of she's appearing to be womanly and her abuser didn't want her to get a boyfriend, or perhaps her abuser impregnated her and needed to hide it/"take care of the problem"/ensure she could never tell anyone. Perhaps. We'll never know. If there is any truth to these grim speculations, perhaps this may also explain her love for Disney movies. Happy endings where characters are saved from bad circumstances or true love conquers all. Heck, I'm 41 and still want that lie Disney promised little girls of the 80s and 90s: Finding my true love, sharing true loves kiss, and living happily ever after. I know it's a lie, but I still want it and I know I can't be the only one. Regardless, it would make sense that these movies could provide a form of escapism for someone in a situation like Lacey may have been in. Dreaming of her hero/true love/prince coming to her rescue and living happily ever after. The poor girl. She certainly needed rescued and nobody knew until it was too late 💔 Update: the theory gets mentioned around the 1hr 1minute mark. Along with some other theories. They are only theories. All any of us can do is speculate and theorize.

I feel she was being **PIMPED* by them. Good LORDT you knew what I meant. 🙄 SOLD FOR SEX. Is that better, children?

Yeah,like just shows they purposely left her there to actually rot 😔

Yes like it’s not like it’s an incompetent pair of low iq people that truly couldnt properly care for themselves well much less her. They clearly could clean, socialize well etc. they had money at their disposal, it’s crazy. If your daughter can’t get off the couch at the very least they have depression and should be taken to a psychiatrist.

I agree. How can anyone walk past that EVERY DAY and not go get help…? Especially in the early stages, knowing the person hasn’t been moving. As time went on they KNEW she was suffering and chose to not help her.

The parents not once had any company over in 12 yrs?! How is that even possible? Someone had to know what was going on.. I wouldn't be surprised if they were soliciting their daughter for sex that entire time.

@@desladd3932I wonder though since the type of town they were in, more than likely the neighbors have the mindset of “none of my business”. So they probably saw things that seemed off or questioning why they never saw her again for 12 years, but in small towns like that I wouldn’t doubt they would just ignore the warning signs.

Imagine 12 years just sitting in pain seeing the same exact wall every single day, and you can't move, you pee and poop in the same exact spot, your body rotting away no one cares about you till the point you have to eat sofa foam and feces, your skin merging with the sofa, maggots in your body, the maggots that are what kept her alive, why didn't her parents drop her off in a medical house if they couldn't provide her any help, poor thing may her body enter the heveans and rest in peace may God bless her 😢

Absolutely much love to you💛

​@@NotVille_and yet here you are, being nasty begging for views and subs on her popular channel? Okay child.

I have two children with autism. They are happy living life their own way. Sure we do therapy so that it’s easier to function within society. But I hope they never lose their unique way of looking at the world.

As a fellow high functioning autistic women it causes me so many problems that neurotypical people don’t face. Also how about lower functioning autistic folks who have so many hardships caused by their autism? Autism isn’t a moral or personal failing but i don’t understand this point of view. Not trying to be rude at all just to be clear.

@@NotVille_she doesn’t fake her videos

This!

True story

yes, and narcissists isolate their victims to have full control of them, i think they enjoyed it

It’s like out of sight Out of mind. There were people who asked about her. But no one asked why she wasn’t at church or at social functions?

So true

I think she was naked all the time, but the father tried to put on a t-shirt to cover her before police arrived, but maybe he couldn't get it on her so left it.

I suspect they did it on purpose, as revenge/ punishment for her needing extra support.

They said when they became parents they didn't sign on to be care takers. I think they are deplorable psychopaths or something. I wouldn't allow this to happen to my worst enemy, let alone my daughter. I keep waiting to hear if they will get prison time. 🙏🤞

​@@mirzamay I completely agree with you! And what about all of the nail marks all around her area of the couch. Like she was clawing to try to stand up. Like she was clawing to try to get help and escape. Also yeah when you CHOOSE to become a parent you sign up to be a caretaker LMAO I don't know I genuinely wonder if they chained her to the couch at first. Like for the first few years and then after that her legs and arms are too atrophied she couldn't escape anymore so they didn't bother

@@WhitneyDahlin yeah, wow. Who knows what the whole story is. It seems like they were passive, she was off in college and living life and then she wasn't. To think these people or anyone could do this to their child runs counter to everything a decent person could think of, but if they could do this much they could probably do anything. This is off in the woods territory. They should investigate everything she communicated to her friends and regrets back when she could communicate and see what she told them about her parents. Because you'd think she'd have a phone, and if she could claw you'd think she could push buttons, so there may be way more to this anyone knows. This could be like when parents lock their child in an attic, but her attic was the couch.

​@@AlissaSss23yes. Totally. Like her weakness made them resent her.

I can't stand to see my daughter even be sad, let alone physically hurt. This blows my entire mind. I'm 37 my mom wouldn't do this to me the same. I just don't understand. I'm horrified

Mediate?

​@@amymckay23 It's kind of planning when it comes to things like this. For example, if I wanted to commit tax fraud and I planned on how I'd do it, it would be first degree premeditated. Hope this helps ❤

​@@amymckay23p sure they meant meditate

Yes!!!! I was tortured by a psychopath caregiver after a car accident and this person is a totally respected member of the community.

​@@antoniawaverly1539I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Were you able to get justice served to that horrible person?

Which would make sense on why the body was found with her shirt pulled up over her chest and completely naked. And why something snapped in the parents one day where they wanted to silence her.

Fr

True. I may not go well with children because of my anger issues that make me mad easily but, this is just sick and twisted.. how could parents do this to their children?!?

@@kneegrow3906 ew how gross is YOUR house? Is it normal for you to see maggots crawling around? 🤮

@@kneegrow3906you won't? weird.

Yes and they made excuses - saying she refused to go to the doctor etc... just ridiculous

THe only way I see this happening is she either had that disease where you cannot feel pain along with severe social anxiety. Or her parents kept on the couch for some odd reason. Why weren't any adult diapers put on her? This is just so effing sad and weird!

A lot worse. The worst kind of torture

​@Andronicus87 they were lazy

​@Andronicus87 what disease are u talking about???? Who said she couldn't feel pain????

The fact that she lived for 12 years like that makes it seem that they had to give her antibiotics all the time to prolong her misery. I’m betting they had help from some doctor. This is the most inhuman thing I’ve ever heard.

Exactly. They had to have tried to keep her alive for as long as possible 😢

The living room thing is almost the wildest part, if she was in a bedroom that they just didnt go into I guess it would make a little bit more sense but its the living room... like did they just stop having guests over for 12 years? Did no one think that was odd? No house repairs, friends for dinner, nothing? And how could they have genuinely walked past her shitting and pissing and rotting into a melting couch every day.

@@missamylee12 exactly!! Especially because they were so social and highly regarded in a VERY small town where everyone knows everybody’s business. They weren’t some shut-ins in a huge city where no one would notice that they smelled or behaved so oddly.

@@DiMagnolia "small" is a relative term. I have 5 different neighbors a couple meters away from my house in all sides and I couldn't tell them apart to save my life. And this crime happened in the US, and in a rural area to boot so we're talking about several tens if not hundreds of meters apart houses. It's natural that detection is impossible

@@yggreuyri5822 You know when an animal has been hit and is rotting by the side of the road and you drive by and the smell of death fills your car, even though you're like fifty feet away? That death smell is strong. It permeates everything. It HAD to have been in her parents' clothing, hair, everything.

​@quietone748 That's the first thing I thought too, her parent's clothes had to have that smell in them.

Exactly!!! Like no one visits inside each others house but you’re that social?

It's the small town thing and their place in it. It's not hard to have people feel like going to their home was inappropriate. They had no real friendships, it was all fake. Southerners are great at stopping to chit chat with people they actually hate.

I live outside a small town of 250 people. No one has been inside my house since 2016. It happens.

Yes. That's what mystifies me the most. If they'd lived in the wilderness with no one around, or, conversely, in a city where no one paid attention to anyone, ever, for any reason, I could see them getting away with it. But all those years, and no one ever visited them? It's not conceivable.

Because they were respected, they probably rejected people when they tried to visit and that’s it.

Maybe they will get put in a prison where people like that will be taken care of because some things just don't go even in prison and maybe just maybe karma will come around to where it belongs just saying😢😢😭😭😭💔🤬🤬🤬💔💔😭😭😭

Agreed no excuse your mom and those caregivers doing their jobs wel BLESS THEM!!! and thank you to them for their service absolutely incredible.❤

Yeah, my mom used to work in a nursing home. She works at homes with disabled people now, same thing as you said. I don't know how anyone could be so negligent to people who can't even shower on their own.

Sadly, not all people care that much :/ My grandma is in a memory care facility for dementia, and my mom has told me that she's gone upwards of two weeks without a shower. The nurses simply don't try to get her to shower, and my mom can't do it on her own. My mom is constantly asking the staff to do more than just ask "do you want a shower?", and some have straight up refused.

Lacy could not even move. Her parents lied. For whatever reason, they obviously also fed her her own feces since Lacy could not have moved to transfer the feces from her buttocks area to her face and mouth. These two people who were supposed to love and care for their child, physically and mentally abused her and their abuse resulted in her long horrible torturous death. Had she received proper care, she would never have had maggots eating holes in her body, never had all the horrible things happen to her body while she lay there helpless to do anything about it. With proper care, it is possible she may have responded and come out of her locked out condition and be alive today. This is one of the worst cases of murder I have ever heard of.

Like a lot of little kids hate taking baths, but that doesn't mean you just let them rot

One thing a Redditor said and stuck with me is: what if they thought she was possessed by a demon (since their religion believes in those things) and felt no compassion because they thought that’s not their daughter anymore?

​​@@martafiord If they'd really think their child was possessed by a demon, they wouldn't go on enjoying their lives. They would'nt give the demon food or water to drink for 12 years, like it is a pet, they wouldn't ate their breakfast next to them, wouldn't take a nap next to her....Instead they would panic, they would call a bunch of priests, all kinds of help from the church, do a lot of drawn out rituals, etcetera. The basis for all religions is to love and not harm. My guess is these people are just hiding behind religion, putting up a facade. There's probably more evil and sadism in them than normal people can imagine. Don't forget, we only know the tip of the iceberg, we don't know what these parents have done in all those other years leading up to this death, and I don't even want to imagine. So either they are incredibly nice people, that are accommodating a demon in their house, for years like, mi case es su casa......or they are the worst parents ever, that will try to look like they are the innocent victim here

@@martafiordI’m sorry but it’s her damn evil parents that were the people possessed by a demon.

They were not possessed by demons. They were humans who chose to do an abominable, evil, inexcusable thing. They are culpable. There are no demons. Only evil people who cry 'demon' as a scapegoat, or an excuse, to absolve themselves, and stupid people who let them get away with it because they believe in demons.

​@@martafiordThat's actually not normal for how christians behave Or believe unless they're in extreme minister in cults. Christian

@@dragonyamiThey get the wall. You know, the one with sand bags behind it.

the fact that you think investigations are instantaneous is crazy. stop watching tv

Do you have a pressure changing mattress? My partner has one now, I hope it makes a difference.

THIS!! I'm not FULLY bed bound, but for the past two years or so, I have been barely able to leave the bed, let alone the house. I had diabetes that had been developing for years and years and my doctors were completely neglectful. For 5 years I was told that I was fine and there was nothing wrong. The diabetes had probably been developing even further back, but I only started to see symptoms 5 years ago. So basically I was slowly getting sicker and sicker with no answers or help. And about 2 years ago is when it started to get bad and I couldn't function anymore. I was sleeping 15-18 hours a day, I was in excruciating pain and I couldn't even do simple things like brushing my teeth or showering. Eventually I FINALLY got diagnosed with diabetes. But by that point it was BAD. I had liver damage, kidney damage, and damage to my nervous system. My heart had become atrophied and deconditioned from years of being too tired and in too much pain to move. But throughout it all, I had my mom. She helps me do everything now, even though shes approaching 70 herself. She helps me shower, makes me meals every day, helps move my wheelchair in and out of the car, brings me to my appointments, everything. Parents are supposed to be there for you. To love you and protect you. Like you said, even if they felt unfit to care for all of her needs, I'm sure they could have hired a caretaker for her. I'm fairly certain insurance would have covered that for her. And if they didn't have insurance, there are definitely ways to get government help for that. This whole situation is completely fucking disgusting and there are zero excuses for it. On another note, I'm so sorry you've had to go through what you've gone through. Being bed bound is really really rough. So many people act like we're so lucky that we get to sit in bed all day, but it's horrible. I'm only 21. I'm stuck in bed watching all my friends grow up and start their lives. I hope things get better for your physically or at the very least that you're able to find ways to adapt and still live a fulfilling life. It is possible to live a happy and fulfilling life, no matter how disabled you are. I can only wonder what kind of life Lacey could have lived if only she'd had different parents.

So you lay in bed 247 geez

Right

Who paid the bills?

exactly that's what i've been thinking too there aint no way no one visited the house for a damn moment in the 12 years and no even smelled anything wrong? and suddenly there was just one neighbour who saw lacey in the couch through the window after literally like her death?? and nothing happened for 12 years to even know the existence of poor lacey?

I recommend watching the video Dreading made about her. I believe he said that the parents claimed that she moved out or went (back?) to collage

Agreed!!

I lived in the surrounding area of Slaughter for 30+ years and honestly I believe that they were ashamed of her disability and took her out of society because they were so popular in their community and tortured her for being different and I don’t take SA out of the equation 😢

I once cry because my baby had a very bad diaper rash due to acidic diarrhea due to antibiotics 😭 I had no choice because he had an infection and I regularly change his nappies but it still happen. I totally get you Mama. And I feel horrified hearing this case I was about to vomit when she was telling it 😱

@@kellymcclendon2162 as someone who spent their early childhood in the south, it’s very sad to me that I see this as the most likely explanation. So many of these towns where reputation is everything completely disregard the safety and needs of the vulnerable for the sake of what their neighbors think of them.

@@knnorman3855 My mom had a similar problem, but we later discovered that it is actually due to acidic foods. The simple explanation is that my body is naturally acidic, so eating acidic foods pushed my body over that limit and essentially gives me UTI symptoms. I thought I would mention it just in case it could be something you would want to observe or look into for you child.

I agree 1,000,000%! A diaper rash, stubbed, toe, splinter, whatever, you’re just there for your baby no matter how old your baby is. What monsters. What absolutely horrifically sick monsters.

It's possible they force fed her pieces of the cushion themselves, but your theory about her not having locked in syndrome sounds very likely considering there were claw marks on the sofa, which means that the poor girl probably tried to get up from the couch but was unable to for some reason.

I imagine weakness from malnutrition made it difficult to move.🙁

I'm leaning towards this theory as well. Maybe they didn't want to outright kill her so they let neglected her until she died on her own.

It’s possible that they fed her the couch cushion smh 😢

What was the name of the nursing home?, or the name of your mom, I'm trying to find that "nursing home" your talking about

What an amazing women both the patient and your mother. I can't imagine the patience it would take to even blink a sentence letter by letter but to run a business, how impressive. For her last letter to be to your mom speaks volumes to the type of woman she is. Thanks for sharing!

your mother sounds like an angel. tell her random people on the internet think she's a superhero. if she's no longer with you, know that she was an absolute hero. I always thank nurses and doctors as well as ppl in the military etc. they do a job I never could and not bc I'm not intelligent enough - it's about strength. what a wonderful woman your mother is.

I dont know how it feels to be in that situation but It sounds good to have something to do and think about

I suspect you're right

Exactly what I think....😢

She was a fighter. And the fact she lasted as long as she did shows just how strong her spirit is. If she suffered from agoraphobia or any mental disorder that caused this situation to occur, she would've died a long time ago. This is someone who is fighting for her life and consciously deciding everyday to not give up. And it angers me that people see her as the perp and not the victim. We have lost our humanity to see this as anything but murder.

That makes sense.

I totally agree that’s what I was thinking

God bless you ❤ we need more people like you to help care for others

Hopefully, you may teach others some day and show them the right way to do it instead of the way you were shown. ❤

Wtf she should be reported to the board so she can take sensitivity training because that is really fucked up.

The world needs more nurses like you ♡

@@DeaDiabola She shouldn't be a nurse anymore. That's deplorable behavior.

This happened a few.miles from me. Parents won't go to trial till late supper. Out on bond. How did they not see or smell. Please keep up to date. Thank you

@@zxyatiywariii8 Amen. That's beautiful. I'm glad you are still here. Hope you are doing better now 🙏🏼

"He's still with me" I mean who wouldn't be yr a fucking Saint in this world 😭❤️

Wow what is her name??

What's her name

what’s her name ?

Love this! What’s the name of her book?

Lmao bullshitter

I’m so glad you were in the moment with him❤

I’m so sad to hear that. I can not imagine doing that. He’s still a man. A man that raised a family, he’s a dad, a husband and a human being. Sometimes people are just very unaware, unfortunately. My mother in law had Alzheimer’s. It was very early onset. Our youngest son would always want to help her walk, eat, everything. He was very young, but he was so attentive and kind. My mom helped care for her on and off for a few years. She would have a wonderful time taking her places and making everything special for her. Her husband was so heartbroken. It was so sad, but she had the best care possible. Her husband took her on many trips all over before she became unable. He wanted to do everything she had ever wanted to do knowing that they didn’t have very much time for it. My aunt recently passed and she had Alzheimer’s as well. I still traveled out of state and spent a lot of time with her. I was blessed to be able to make her laugh and we spent hours just sitting together on the front porch chatting (as much as she could ) and we were like two high school girl friends joking and talking. It was wonderful. I’m so grateful for the time I had with her. Thank you for your comment because we need to remember that we must treat others with kindness and be aware. Thank you. 💗

That’s crazy!! All because he was mad at his wife?!

Thatll show her!

@@bradherman9707show her what?

@@Mina-nv9xc it's a figure of speech. He taught his wife a "lesson" by hurting himself. Sarcasm ya know?

@@bradherman9707 Ohh

They killed her, it's not a matter of doing more lmao, there isn't even any picture of her besides the school one !

They left her there even when she was rotting but still alive. Not to mention going on vacations. Those people are demons and left her there on purpose

i had severe agoraphobia too and i was unable to go out, i was put on serotonin which helped me a lot and i’m completely cured today (and now i looove social interaction!!)

I have extreme social phobia , I am afraid of people but also open spaces , its very hard but you have to force yourself to go out at least once a day , I have very good psychatrist and therapeut who help me with that , i spend at least 3 hours a day outside no matter how hard it is , I dont go to places where there are a lot of people but i at least walk in forrest and in the beach

I suffer with agoraphobia and I've not left the house since I had my last child in 2021

Fully agree!!!!

Not to mention, the parents had NOSES!

They did this to her on purpose. I don't think she had locked in syndrome either.She wouldn't of been able to eat couch foam. I think she was too weak,scared,in pain,& fused to the couch and couldn't move because of it. They did this to her by choice:(

Right. The hospital would’ve still seen her and just billed her later if she didn’t have insurance. But she def could’ve gotten free government insurance based on the fact she had a disability. It’s so sad 😢

The thing that absolutely gets me fucked up is that they would have smelled her rotting in her feces all those years in their living room. No one mentions this and it drives me nuts, but they were ABSOLUTELY intentionally punishing her for her "laziness." They endured the smell of feces and rotting flesh so that she would have to as well. You can tell by what they said about her, too.

Did they explain why they done such a disgusting thing not that there can ever be a reason but I’m just so confused

It's despicable. That's all they got. Thank you for updating.

@@peppariddle6897 Not that I know of.

@@michellejarvis2127 It should have been more, but with their connections, we were sure they would walk.

@@justbreathefool There is always the chance of getting out on parole. I’m not sure how they determine when they are eligible for parole. I would hope they serve the whole thing.

This. There is no way she was not abused SA and with other abuse. and I believe they did something to her that made her shut down.

What dose SA mean?

@@habibio4085I haven’t even heard of that. I’ll have to look it up!

Tbh, I can easily see my mum being capable of doing that to me. My dad would never dare to stand up to her, he gets ab*sed daily by her for the smallest things.

the parents are now sentenced to 40 years for manslaughter

I've been in this rut of depression for a few weeks now. Your comment and this video are helping me get out of this asap, and I'm calling my therapist and psychiatrist today!!

I haven't been wanting to get ready when I wake up.

Let us know how you’re doing after you go to your appointment! I’m a stranger but I’ve been there and I care about you! It does get better!!! @@RoLLUpAFat1

PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR MOM🙏🙏🙏

@@RoLLUpAFat1that’s amazing!!! I’m finally getting back into hygiene habits and I have hygiene ocd (meaning I have ocd but some of the worst of my ocd is directed towards extreme hygiene habits), so imagine how “disgusting” I feel when in depressive episodes when I can’t take care of myself. I’ve just gotta humanize it and celebrate every little victory, I’m so proud of you and I’m so proud of myself for being able to brush my teeth today.

I can't even. My skin crawls every time I hear about this horrible case. And wouldn't everything in that house be tainted with the smell? I can't imagine the parents leaving the house and their clothes not having a stench on them. How people didn't notice is just sad. My sister was a nurse when I was around 12 years old, I used to go hang out with her on a weekend or for a week or 2 when school was out for summer. She worked in a nursing home and had a crazy schedule when it came to her shifts, so sometimes she take me along, if she was on nights...I liked visiting with some of those nice old people, some had no families or anything so I'd do that while she did her nursing thing. I'd help her turn people in their beds, so she could clean them up and I couldn't imagine letting anyone sit in that mess for an hour, never mind years. And yes, there were difficult patients there, too. But those are everywhere.

I agree my friend. This is heartbreaking. Those parents are nothing short of evil. I couldn't imagine in my wildest nightmare watching my baby girl in such a horrible condition. Bullshit they were feeding her. Absolutely abhorrent

This was from years ago you’re just hearing it now?

​@6Haunted-Days There were no commentaries addressing time period hearing about this case. Who cares when? Is there some award I'm not aware of deeming people the first to sit on yt all day to initially hear a case? How sophomoric.

Agree! This is first degree murder!!! They weren't even talking about her... Nobody will just sit in an uncomfortable position like that because they choose too and if a person is bedridden it is a parents or a caretakers job to move their body every 2 hours, it is a lot of work but when you truely love someone you won't be able to watch them decay... This is so extremely sad, they could've put her in the system, asked any of the relatives or even the neighbours to take care of her, my parents would've taken care of her FOR FREE! Her parents aren't human, they are just monsters 😢

i think they knew.

just the smell... how could they possibly not notice the smell?.....

Like how far away the houses are from each other?

That's a good point, & with the smell, even a person knocking on the door should have been able to smell it.

@@massivel that's such a disturbing and scary thing to process if it's true...

Dam, I hate wearing pads cause they irritate me sometimes! I couldn't imagine having to deal with that for 12 years!!

This case happened 40 minutes from my childhood home. Literally haunting.

that must be some awful information to have to live with@@seaurchinted

I could not stand to see an animal like this let alone a human. Very heartbreaking.

@@seaurchinted u must have been scared I would be horrified that happened

Like line Stephanie said from the court case about the vet

All of this is so horrific to even imagine.

It's called fecal vomiting, but the feces does not make it to your ears and this condition is fatal if left untreated.

@manedlioness7016 How would you explain the sofa foam in her stomach then?

@@pepojordan73that’s not something the human body can actually digest. So it just stayed in her stomach, stuck.

@@pepojordan73 she was either eating it or it fused with her organs as her back flesh started to melt. Im not saying she didnt eat her own feces im just saying if she did she prolly also had rectal vomiting explaining it being in her ears. Bc eating shit would prolly give u rectal vomiting

I can't believe she lived that long so horrifying .

It was literally hell on earth for her. I can’t even understand what would compel someone to do this to any human or ANIMAL let alone your only child. They are true sadists and I agree, with you 100%

I’m actually surprised that UKposts didn’t delete your comment. Anytime I type the word torture the comment gets deleted almost immediately.

Might have had something to do with the Maggots? They eat away all the dead and infectious tissues, perhaps they were actually cleaning her wounds so that maybe stopped her getting infections? Until the very end. I think the woman in the video did say at the end that Lacey had an infection. I can’t remember.

Really?? Try researching Unit 731
