The father may have been the one to leave the mother alone with the kids but he isn’t the one who drowned their children plus I don’t think he even knew that his wife was going to even drown the kids when he left plus he didn’t tell his wife to drown their children and besides he had to leave for his job so he can earn money to support his wife and kids so in a way he technically had nothing to do with the murder of their children

True. It's hard when those you are trying to help, live in denial. They don't see the truth. Medications don't solve the whole problem. That's why I go the extra yard. I take phonecalls all times of day and night. We all at one point or another suffer depression. A person need to forget about pride, what others may think. There are support groups out there. Counseling, therapy helps. What is sad, many mental health places are closing thier doors. This been going on since the late 80s when hospitals let those who had severe mental illness out on the street. They didn't care. They had no where to go. Many even young people went into nursing homes. Or was left to friend for themselves. Lot long term facilities were closed, even our Veterans lost the only home they had. It's sad. That's why this country has a homeless population. Letting those who need 24 hour care are given a check, pills. Pills don't work if no one is there to make sure you take them. They are often abused, used, sometimes killed. I find more and more, people have become heartless, lovers of themselves. It's all about them. They have what they need, nice home, car. Nice bank account. So they forget about the little people. Bless you for sharing.✌️🙌🌻🦋🌠❤️🖖🙂👋. Love, respect and positivity always.vee and family.

This story is heartbreaking on so many levels. Heartbreaking for the kids obviously. They didn't deserve this. But I've always wondered why her husband wasn't charged. After being told repeatedly by doctors not to have more children, Rusty pushed her to have the last baby. Andrea told him and the doctors repeatedly how she was feeling and what was wrong and wasn't taken seriously. She's guilty of murder in a black and white sense, but it could have been avoided if anyone had of loved her enough to listen to her and help her. None of this needed to happen.

I pass that house often visiting them on different holidays, and I always slow down and say a little prayer for the kids and Andrea, too. It's a tragic situation. But Andrea was mentally ill and shouldn't have been left alone with those kids that morning! He's just as culpable as she is in this situation. Rusty KNEW she shouldn't be alone with the kids. She shouldn't have been alone, period! She could have killed herself with her history of suicide! She never should've had more kids after the 3rd, but especially the 4th. Rusty made her stop her psych meds and get pregnant with Mary, knowing what it would do to her. I fault him more than her for this tragedy. Those poor kids would all be adults now, possibly with kids of their own. I pray she's doing better, too. She couldn't help what her mind was doing to her sanity.

She should never have been left alone with them knowing her condition and the things she could do.

The person to blame is the children's father. He knew and had been warned against leaving the children alone with Andrea, and chose to leave them anyway. I feel for both parents in this case. Andrea is a sick woman, and yes her illness led her to kill her sweet innocent babies, but in her moments of clarity can you imagine her grief. She didn't kill out of anger, her mind led her to believe that death was saving them. Prison was no place for her, she's where she needs to be. I do think her husband should be held to some form of responsibility. I do give him credit for testifying on Andreas behalf. Even after remarrying!

U cant put all that responsibility on the husband though. He needs to work and stuff .. She should have gotten treatment at a closed facility, NOT chillin at home with her kids

Thank you for your compassion in covering this case.

This is a tragic case all around. I work in mental health and believe me, when someone has a psychotic break they truly believe whatever the delusion is at the moment. It's frightening to see someone so far gone. I have also dealt with families who like John didn't believe in medication or mental illness was something that needed to be treated. It leads to dire consequences.

Lamont, you are amazing! You handle these horrific cases with such dignity & respect. You are the voice of these silenced victims. Wonder, though, how is she now, mentally? Would they ever release her, unsupervised? Such darkness took over her mind. The husband bares guilt, also. They were left unprotected. 😭

Well done Lamont. I have clinical depression and I cannot even explain how it just takes you over and possesses you. People wouldn't understand unless they have it. You are a kind and discerning soul. God bless your life.

Having kids changes a women. Postpartum is very real. I’m so glad it’s recognized more today. Andrea needed serious help and the Dr should have reported this to CPS. Kids were in danger for there lives. And the husband did not take it seriously. This is could have been prevented.

THE DR SHOULD'VE REPORTED ALL OF THAT TO CPS HOW AWFUL.... BUT YET THESE WOMEN ARE CONSTANTLY PREGNANT I JUST DON'T GET IT WHY KEEP FUCKING AND HAVING KIDS BACK TO BACK AND THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE ONES THAT THEY HAVE RIDICULOUS

Thank you so Lamont for giving a voice and story to victims and a caring loving viewpoint on the incident or story as a whole. God bless you and thank you for making these videos. You rock!!!!

You should write a book sir. Your stories about the departed and wisdom on life is is very interesting and engaging to say the least. Keep up the great work. It is greatly admired.

Hi Lamont, this has got to be one of the most saddest, and tragic stories ever! I can't even imagine the suffering that those innocent little babies went through🥺 God rest their little souls. Thank you for sharing.

The husband should definitely be held accountable for the death of her children! He was told by his wife mental health doctor not to be left alone with her kids! I remember this horrible story very well. They lived right now door to my Aunt and Uncle. She also had worked at the same hospital with my aunt! May all five innocent angel's Rest In Peace!

Lamont It is all good, I think we all know your giving us just a summary of the main storyline to each case you do a video on. You DO A WONDERFUL JOB at what you do. Thank you for the hard work and your personal input on your channel.

This was a real tragic story and so awful for those poor kids...Rip Yates children 🙏😇👶👶👶👶👶. Thanks for sharing this Lamont and showing respect to the children at their grave 🪦...

The husband shared some responsibility in this tragedy, because he chose to ignore the doctor's orders about Andrea being alone with the kids period.

My heart breaks 💔 for those Beautiful children, but now they are in paradise! As far as Andrea Yates goes, she had NO Control over what her "sick" brain was having her do!!! I suffer from clinical depression and I've fought it most of my years, just to remain alive! Andrea's illnesses were a totally different kind, horses of different colors!!! A LOT of things could have been done differently by the husband, psychiatrist, etc. Lamont, Thank you again for a Very investigative story and another one so well told!!!

What a sad story 5 beautiful children. How can a mother kill her children it's beyond me.a beautiful cemetery so calm and relaxing and a beautiful tribute to the children. Thanks for sharing this very sad but interesting story love from West Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

Well like Lamont said, when a person has a mental illness they can't help it, they don't think normally, it's a chemical imbalance in their brain, I know, because my brother had a nervous breakdown in 1992 and was never the same and ended up committing suicide he would've never done anything like that before his mental illness, it changed him completely he really couldn't help himself

I've always found him to be a psychopath. He didn't love her or those children. Instead of leaving them and having to pay thousands over the years child support, he manipulated Andrea's depression and mental state until the breaking point. She has a psychotic break, kills the children, and spends the rest of her life in prison. He gets to start an exciting, brand new life. Scott free. Sadly this monster pulled off the "perfect crime."

I love that you take us to the location, and then to their gravesite. Can’t imagine how it feels for you, but I know how it feels for me 😭😭💔 thank you Lamont

I feel so sorry for Andrea... When i had my daughter i had PPD and PPP, but a year and a half later i had a tubal removal, so no more children for me thank god!! Being pregnant, sleep deprivation, all that was a horrible expierience.

This vlog is so sad since Andrea killed her five children. Thanks for remembering these five precious children. Take care Lamont.

If the husband hadn't ignored the signs, he might still have his 5 beautiful kids

I remember this story, so very sad 😞 thanks for telling their story… you are a great story teller. The ending at the gravesite perfect!

May God Bless each & every single one of those innocent children’s souls! May they all REST IN PEACE! Amen

So many failed those kids. I wish her peace, and pray she can forgive herself.

I watched a lot of documentaries on this case. Noah literally died fighting for his life. Andrea said his last words were "I'm sorry Mommy ". And she struggled the most with him, because he fought until his last breath.

They told Rusty that Andrea had suffered from postpartum depression after each of her children’s births and told them not to have any more children. This was before she became pregnant with Mary. I think he should have been held accountable as well because, if he had followed the doctors’ orders, those kids would very likely be alive today. He divorced Andrea and remarried in 2006. He had one son with his second wife and she filed for divorce in 2015.

I also think the husband should have been held accountable because knowing what the doctors said they still had another child and left her alone even though the doctors said DO NOT LEAVE HER ALONE WITH THE CHILDREN! Yes he had to go to work but he could've had someone there to keep an eye on her or at the very least the kids.

Thanks again for all your hard work and loving ways. Bless you

Lamont - You summed it up quite nicely. Mental illness is definitely a problem in America and more attention is needed to address the problem. We need more health care providers that are trained to help these people. My heart and prayers go out to those in need.

This is such a tragic story. So many warning signs and it still ended in tragedy.

I thought then and I know now the husband should have been held accountable and jailed... he was as responsible as his wife... in fact more responsible. I remember reading somewhere that he wanted congenial visits with the hopes of having more children... as he said "to replace the ones he lost" he was refused... He has since divorced Andrea an remarried in March 2006... he remained in the church where his children burial service was held... said "he chose to move on with his life while resisting temptation to pity himself or seek revenge on people who may have wronged him." Nice guy... he just left her to deal with those issues alone...

Thank you for sharing this story.. mental illness is a serious problem even in my island..

Thank You Lamont for always being the voice of reason.

I remember this and it crushed my soul for her. Mental illness is real and people need to pay attention. You have a good heart.

Thank you for addressing this so respectfully Lamont
