He has a very rare talent, and he has put it to such good use. I remember the first time I watched a documentary he narrated- he was interviewing prisoners on death row. I was floored he could ask anything and everything- things most people would be afraid to ask, or not know how to ask. He spoke in such a respectful and forthright way, no one was offended, and always answered his questions- in full. Truly a wise, insightful, compassionate man.

Child abuse is SO CRUEL and it lasts a LIFETIME. Kayley was attacked at 15 MONTHS and was still terrified 27 yrs later 💔 It just brought up a memory of me as a teen…I had been abused by my adoptive father for my whole childhood starting at around 4 and told around age 12… I developed an irrational fear of ALL bathroom windows at night after he was arrested, simply terrified he’d come get me for telling. Even in another STATE, even knowing he was in PRISON I had a panic attack in the bathroom one night years later as my fears piled on together and the stress became too much. I had to talk myself down trying to use logic and rationalize. It was just too much as a child, the feelings were real regardless of what I knew. I hope Kayley can eventually find peace and heal, but I totally get why it’s so hard.

The only reporter that, in my opinion, comes close to this style of reporting that you can watch in the US is Keith Morrison. He is brilliant, insightful and compassionate, but he doesn’t put up with nonsense or people trying to get one over on him. I love it when, during a Dateline episode, there is one of those “come now,” moments where he basically tells the criminal you don’t expect me to believe that, do you? He could read the New York City, since we’re talking about the US, phone book and I’d happily listen. They are both class. That’s all I can say. -Saoirse, West Belfast, NI

This woman makes my blood run cold. Wow she's cold and devious man
I've had a child who was in NICU for almost a month at birth. Believe me, there was one nurse who was absolutely horrendous to me and my husband at the time. And another who was so caring and kind. I'll never forget her kind and caring soul. She was one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure to meet. I cannot wrap my head around a human who would want to hurt innocent babies like this. So incredibly sad and heartbreaking for the victims and their families. God bless them all.🙏💜

The only plus here, is that in hospital she wil be much easier to get to. If she had done this to my child I would certainly be in prison and she would certainly be dead. How does she deserve treatment anyway? Can't she get an hour of therapy in prison? That she has to pay for herself? This is too easy and it pisses me off to no end. Normal, hardworking people don't get help like she does. Even the parents of the kids she killed have to pay for their own therapy. How dumb are these therapists???

Lol wow! It's on text that she admitted to the crimes and families were NOT informed? Just WOW💥! And the statement, "well... too lil too late" after they know. I mean she has 13 LIFE SENTENCES right? Why is she still not back inside after all these revelations???? SHE IS BEING PROTECTED by authorities. Meaning if it wanst for Trevor MaCDonald they wouldn't have known...
the psychological pain is immeasurable

One of my twin granddaughters died when they were in NICU she was over fed and couldn’t digest ended up her intestines rotted away and couldn’t be saved. My daughter has never been the same. She turned to drugs after that The one twin who served misses her sister she said before she was told she knew part of her was missing. We never found out which nurse over fed her . Our family fell apart after the babies death . 😢 I think about the baby we lost daily.
Knowing she is eligible for parole and what a master manipulater she is, is simply terrifying!

@@blakejameson1114 It seems likely that Munchausen by Proxy is more prominent in women because in many societies women are typically pushed into certain roles, assumed to be great mothers or at least pressured to become or appear as one, as well as typically in serving positions such as being a nurse. This ACCESS to victims is something most men who are predators simply don’t have, and because of the stereotypes of women being caretakers, people simply don’t suspect or refuse to believe when a woman starts killing off kids.

14 victims in around 8 weeks means if she worked 5 days a week she tried to kill approximately every other shift she worked, for 2 months, til she was caught. She probably wouldn’t have stopped. That’s some seriously false confidence to go after 14 and intend to keep going
