EMP DEEP STATE ATTACK!!! EX CIA NAVY SEAL MICHAEL JACO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34k4XA_A96g&t=703s
Those composites are not the best . Yikes
They dont even look like newborns ,but adults. lol
True but baby skin is very delicate. The skull is very soft too .I’m sure the bodies were bloated and disfigured by the water and whatever the bodies bumped into while floating around. They did their best I’m sure
😂
nice pro life content during RvW over turn
I was thinking it’s pro-choice. – Somebody was trying to “hide” the fact that they were ever pregnant.
@Colorbug Originals agree but pro lifers never give the mother a choice…
@Colorbug Originals which begs a question. In their last terrifying moments of life, were those babies grateful to have been born? Biology does not make you a parent regards of what religions and their gods have to say on the matter.
@Gale Martin I cannot tell if you are arguing for infanticide 😬✌️
@Colorbug Originals At least, OP unconsciously acknowledged it’s the same thing.
Gonna be a lot of infants in the Mississippi River once abortion is overturned.
Gross. People who hurt children are pure evil.
Too bad these people were not taught about contraception and abortion.

All children are gifts from God. We were entrusted to raise children with love, morals, responsibility, guidance, and respect. We all hope that parents would be the pillars of strength and build that strong foundation. Yet, some children have lacked that firm foundation to grow. We must all remember that a “Firm Foundation Cannot be Built on Shifting Sands.” I would give anything to have me daughter back with me. Jennifer died at the tender age of 24 from malignant brain tumors. She never got the chance to marry, have children, grandchildren, etc. Children are our future and once again, that firm foundation must be built so they may have a solid life.

What a lovely lady. Bless your heart.
She will be rewarded in heaven as well. God bless her and the little children
@Kamikaze Kid There are lots of live children in need – adoration of dead corpses is lunacy.
@paul sawczyc she cares about their fate, do you care about yours?
they try to murfered us now
Awe.. Lady that was soooo loving those babies are all your guardian angels and know what you’ve done for them!!! 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻
🙏🙏🙏✝️
Awwwww! I’m in awe of her also!
Please keep us updated on this !!!
No !!!!!!!!!!
That gal is a weirdo
23 and 911
This is what happens when you make Abortions illegal and force people to be mothers when they are not able
Either way, the outcome is the same: a dead baby whose mother and father refused to accept responsibility for the child they conceived. In the river or in a dumpster behind a clinic, the end result is the same.
According to white christian conservatives..being a loving and responsible mother is a function of biology. I wonder, in that child’s last horrific moments of life……..was he glad to have been born. I doubt it.
“If you have a baby, It’s a gift from God.”

That women’s an angel. Poor babies.
Urgent Alert !! Supreme Court and DOJ are compromised!
since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos. Put an end to the Trumpist Republicans
The world has greater peril from those who tolerate evil, like the DOJ, than from Trump and his fellow insurrectionist! DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting Trumpist.
Civil Contempt For Trump, But Trump Has Not Been Indicted
1. the DOJ really wants to let Trump go
2. DOJ Garland is afraid of what might happen to himself
3. DOJ Garland is afraid to do his job and wants others to Pursue Trump in Civil Court
DOJ Garland
promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not done so for the insurrection leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn’t get to it in time.

Human life is NEVER a disposable commodity, no matter the circumstances.
Tell that to Muslims, Christians and Jews
No they’re considered a “domestic supply.”
Towool
So yeah, let’s be sure to make safe abortion illegal, because this kinda stuff is so much better…
This is what happens when pro lifers only care about the birth and not about the life of the child…
This is genius 👏 hopefully scarry enough to keep anyone from trying this ever again. Those babies deserve justice
At timestamp 3:16, the comment feels like it’s directed to the moms (“you can get help for what you did.’) Rather than the assumption made that the mothers killed the babies – since there are two sets of genetics with the same M.O., it could be a case of where the father took the babies from the moms and ‘took care of the situation’, too. The moms could have thought/been told that the babies were dropped off at a ‘safe haven’ site while the father simply threw them in the river in order to be done with something he perceived as an inconvenience. It would be interesting to learn if either parental role shares DNA with all three babies. If so, I would say that person is the murderer.

How many times have you heard of a father/man doing and being charged with that exact crime? I have never heard of it. Most often it’s the mom that does something like that. I believe it has to do with the shame she feels of not wanting families/friends etc. knowing she doesn’t want her baby. When men don’t want their babies or can’t handle them, they don’t seem to have any shame in others knowing he’s abused, brutalized the child before killing him/her! Just my perspective only.
Agreed. Plus there have been multiple cases where it was some psycho who had women chained up, and got rid of the kids.
Women are easily blamed, especially when they’re used to being in controlling relationships. It’s everyone’s fault who knew that baby existed.
@Aster Farwoods they’re easily blamed because they carry the baby literally. I can’t believe I had a reply on another vid where the person actually said they (women) gestate the baby, it’s their responsibility! And then said maybe when men can gestate blah blah blah. They sounded like a christian religious person. I got so angry I said may God forgive you that’s disgusting attitude.! UNBELIEVABLE!!
Give that woman nuther carton of cigarettes. 🥴
What a special lady. A complete stranger who shows more respect for those kids than their parents.
That woman is a gift. She cares so much. As a victim of attempted murder by my own parents, i look at the poor children and think im the lucky one…i lived but they did not.
I don’t know why your parents were misguided and didn’t see you as anything but a blessing but I am glad that you are still here and I hope that you found people that will love and appreciate you and the life you have that you can really call family. I had a hard time growing up but I can only imagine what it must have been like for you to have to deal with this situation after it occurred but I hope that things are going okay for you now. No child should ever have to go through what you did. I may not know you but I am really glad you are still here and that they didn’t succeed. I wish you all the best.
It amazes me how many people just throw their babies away, I was young and I didn’t know what to do with babies so my mother made me give two of my babies up for adoption I wasn’t yet 18 and I didn’t have any rights in Florida, I’m trying to find those babies today they would be grown adults now but I just can’t understand how someone would just throw their babies away when so many people would love to have babies and people that can take care of them, like in my situation I was young and stupid. And I also blame the system because in my case I should have had birth control and the knowledge of birth control, And doesn’t it make you wonder that people don’t miss babies?? that people don’t say hey where’s your baby where did your baby go? they were all big enough that they should have had birth records and people saw them so how is this so easy to just throw them away I don’t understand the government and the system seem to know where you always are when you get in trouble , they log you into the government computer, as soon as you’re born, thru your social security number so how come these babies are invisible? They obviously belong to someone? Unfortunately the cemeteries here are full of dead babies with no names no identification and it just boggles my mind, I go and clean the graves and put flowers on the headstones and some of them don’t have headstones but I know where they are I’ve been doing this for many many years with the babies. 🖤😥 Florida
Thank you for not killing your babies.
I hope they find the demon’s who dumped their babies in the river, especially the one who gave birth to the two babies related to each other. Bless the lady who gave her time, kindness, and finances to have the proper burials for these innocent babies.
No indication the birth mother is responsible
Maybe the babies were wanted by their mother and the father killed them.
@M SC it was a update. The mother who birthed the two babies that was related was caught. Her excuse was she was on drugs and alcohol. On top of that she already had two other children.
GOD BLESS YOU THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR THESE SMALL BABIES WHO WERE ABANDONED. Thank You
It’s none of her business why they did what they did! Stop thinking about life in a black or white mentality!
Those “mothers” should hire you once found and face a jury. Tell them it’s none of their business.
The mother should’ve aborted them, according to pro choice, it’s not a baby unless it’s wanted
Reason is people were not allowed to have abortion
Why were they not allowed to have an abortion?
They’re not a gift from God God denying pregnant with his women God is not even real
There will be a lot more stories like this after roe/wade overturn.
This happened in the 90s and thereafter. If you have a muderous heart there is nothing you can fix.
I totally agree!
Funny how they’re trying to force women to have children but once those unwanted kids are born the very same people don’t care what happens to them.
@Virginia Evelyn Untrue, I’ve know tons of people who’ve fostered and adopted children, adoption is an option
The sheriff looks like the middle baby.
Yes! I’m thinking it’s a small town, lol.😂
Indeed, a kind lady! God bless you!
There has to be accountability in the next world for the dirty deeds we commit in this world!!!!!
Bless her sweet soul! 💜❤💚 I want this women to be my momma!
What a sweet sweet lady. I have to agree with others, if there is such thing as a heaven, these babies are watching over you and waiting to meet you one day.
This lady has wings, we just can’t see them. What a true gift from God. God Bless this Angel lady 🌠🌟🌠🕊️✝️
Heartbreaking a woman did that to TWO BABIES. SHE may be deceased herself.
My initial thought is that the mother may have had very little choice in the matter. This seems like the doings of a male upon a captive female. I hope I am wrong. But in any case, can we please not vilify the mother u til we know more?
Shame. This kinda stuff will increase if/when abortion becomes illegal. Don’t force ppl to have something that is unwanted. They will do anything including murder to get rid of it.
What’s the difference?
@Ruby Arias An embryo is quickly terminated without suffering during an abortion. Birthed babies who have been abandoned suffer from suffocation, starvation, drowning, freezing or overheating. They may also suffer from drug addiction if addict-mom is forced to stay pregnant.
Sometimes the most humane option for the potential baby is an instantaneous death to the fetus.
Yeah. Got to figure something out.
Truth.
“People that have children should always remember that they’re gifts from Bob.” Give thanks and praise to Bob!
That woman should be punished to the harshest punishment of the law she could of gotten an abortion she could given them up for adoption she could of left them in a box in front of a church in the night but she chose to murder
So they will be ruining someone’s lives digging up the past. #abortion
Sad!!
🙏🏾
Ummmm let’s be real- no one wants these babies. These kids are not being adopted. And then they grow up in the system and have issues.
That was nice lady!
I watched this video at 7:30pm and at 8 pm, I read ABC News online, and found an article there, saying a woman has been arrested.
Absolutely heart breaking ! Given these were crimes paragon should have had DNA a soon as possible !
Pro-choice
This would be pro-forced birth
Is this pro life Mississippi?
Bizarre
This will increase with cuts in womens rights
How can anyone hurt a child only God knows….
People are just evil! I would love to get my hands on who did this.
Very sad and disturbing to know the same woman killed 2 of her babies. A lot of damaged and broken people in this world. I hope she got help.
That woman is a gift from God
Money would have been better spent on live children. This lady needs a hobby
Very touching story🥲
“If you have a child, they are gifts from God.” This simple but profound statement needs to be plastered everywhere based on the crimes against children constantly coming up in the news, especially lately. That woman is an angel 🙏❤️
Keep up updated
I am very passionate about genetic genealogy! Absolutely love it. Every single one of us has thousands of matches on these sites. And that’s exactly what we do. I’ve helped many find there bio parents, or children adopted out. To my surprise, a few foundlings (those that are abandoned at birth) find their families. One turned out to be criminal, the other was given up at birth and foster parents left him as an infant in a brown paper bag with a bottle of spoiled milk. He was very fortunate to find bio mom and siblings. Had an awesome relationship with the mom for 3 years until she passed. Fully accepted him.
Another cousin was also given up and we found mom and siblings. They have a secret relationship, and only one of her children know. Married shortly after giving child up and never disclosed this to the husband. So he’ll never know anything about a child before she met him. And let me tell you, there are a lot of women who never disclose this information for various reasons and will take it to their grave…..until now.
So for all those who just threw their child away whatever the reason, DNA now has a way to find you, even without you ever having to test. Those thousands of matches lead right back to you. And you would be surprised at the folks that have done this.
Those who have been able to escape punishment for violent crimes, your number is next. It’s happening every single day. Just not headline news.
Happy Ancestor hunting for all who know what that means. Lol
The Hospital I work for has signage as a Safe Place to Leave Your Baby. I wish theses babies had been brought somewhere like my Hospital.
Those babies looked like siblings.
Poor little babies 😢😢😢😢😢
Once abortion is banned, there’ll be LOTS of more cases like that.
That sheriff’s face is not very intelligent looking – and he is given a firearm to carry around.
He looks like the father of the 2nd baby. Looks just like him!🤣
I hope they find the biological parents because this is murder.
Those composites are creepy AF.
Does anyone else think the babies resemble the sheriff? Weird….
Yeah..that’s why he couldn’t look straight at the interviewer 🤣
For being part of the “Heartland”, there sure have been quite a few depraved crimes, from Mexico to Canada. Now, we await the supposed number of Native deaths, from past abuse; the number surely will be less then reality.
They look like brothers
What a wonderful Woman 💖
Rip little ones 🙏
Reverse DNA???
This woman is nuts
Donate the money for those plots and funerals to living children in foster care
This is nothing compared to the utter horror the SCOTUS new endeavours will unleash. Watching from Canada with trepidation and sorrows, 🙁
So sad. Just terrible! And there will be many many more babies thrown in rivers after Roe v Wade is overturned. Sigh.
Outlaw abortion and this will happen every day.
I wish people cared this much about the living children in the foster system. Instead we’re going back in time and making abortion illegal which in turn will cause more suicide and botched home abortions as well as a slight increase in these types of crimes
Turned off when she said God
She is truly a blessing! People like this remind me that therer are good people in this world
I think these babies all come from the same woman! 💔🌹
I bet whoever did this is nervous now. DNA will find u
