#NorthCarolina #MadalinaCojocari #News
They used fire 🔥. That poor child
Why do people keep having kids if they don’t want them!?!? Ugh!!!!!!!
I dont know about my kids in 24 hrs I go into panic!! They are 26 yrs old. Imagine 11 yrs old? Didn’t report? Guilty!!
Omg 😢 so we’re is the update on the little girl ? Did they search the back years omg
Why does white folks always hurt kids.
What is going on how do people do this to children
They burned the evidence
My stepfather married my mom who had 8 kids that weren’t his. They had one together. He went to work daily and took care of all 9 of us. He even took care of his grandchildren by us until he died. He was a good stepfather turned father. We all loved him so much. If I could name a song to describe him it would be Color him Father by the Winstons.
In my days we call that man foolish, but this is very wholesome and your mom made a great choice by marrying him
@KARMA My male coworkers told me they don’t think they could have did that when I tell them about him marrying my mom with 8 kids. Come to find out a female coworker told me her stepfather married her mom with 8 or 9 kids that wasn’t his as well. I can’t blame them that was a big responsibility but that was in the 70s.
You were so blessed to have him in your life. He was a RARE breed.
@Kathy Cochran Yes he was. He took on a big responsibility.
My exhusband loved other people’s kids ,not his own though. My daughters have grown up to be good people despite his neglect.
The school is the one reported her missing?! Wow
Hope that step dad gets what he deserves 🤬
GOOD & DECENT MAGA-PATRIOTS DESERVE A BREAK…. HILDABEESTS EMAILS ? HUNTERS LAPTOP ? MOSCOW POLICE ?
That poor baby 🥺
Burning everyday??? We’re just gonna glide on past that???
My guess is they didn’t wanna look suspicious burning randomly one day, so they’re burning multiple days in a row so it looks “natural” for them. That, or there’s a lot of evidence to destroy, or they’re just tweaked out of their minds 🤷♀️
Casey Anthony didn’t report her daughter missing for about a month why didn’t she go to jail too?
Put your child first. Having a male isn’t worth it.
ROTTEN
I pray this sweet child has just run away for a while and will be on her door like now in Jesus name.
I pray it’s not what l suspect.
O God let it not be🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sat one two one two for picture imaging where is she?
Why wouldn’t the school turn the family in?
Sad to say we all know 🙁
Poor little girl💔
The school was probably repeatedly asking them about Madalina so they reluctantly went to the school to lie to them.
They both look guilty
poor girl so pretty 🙁 where is this princess :/ please find her
They should be locked away for the rest of their lives.Children are the greatest gift from god we can receive
The stepfather looks like the stereotypical evil stepfather.
Not another innocent child!!!
The parents know where she is at I believe she will be found very sad story what they did to her she is a very beautiful child In my prayers they will tell the truth and be charge.
Yea, those parents did that.
Not everyone should have rhe right to have children
Sad! I could never hurt my boys poor baby I’m glad there behind bars.
I THOUGHT PEOPLE DIDN’T BELIEVE IN ABORTIONS, THE RIGHTS OF A WOMAN’S BODY. THESE PARENTS WAIT TILL THEIR CHILD US 11 AND ARE SUSPECTS OF THEIR CHILD MISSING JUST PROVES HOW PEOPLE LOVE LIFE OF A CHILD
Shut up
Please keep in mind she was missing for about 13 school days. She went home on the 23rd, the day before Thanksgiving. Yes, the school calls every single day (I would even get calls when my daughter was suspended). By day 10 they send out a truancy letter. Why the extra few days before the school reached out? IDK. But I also have a feeling the parents called in to excuse her absence at first. And if the sixth grade counselor is the same lady this year as it was last year, that woman cares. It’ll shock me if she delayed the report. But from experience, I’m not quick to blame the school at all. Let’s focus on the parents who waited 22 days to report, and wouldn’t have done so if the school didn’t get involved.
Many many men look for women with young girls…then the mothers act surprised when the poor kid is abused! I hope they find out what led to her disappearance and lock these criminals up for life!!!
What’s wrong?are y’all judging those fine white folk and accusing them of doing something wrong?
They must have killed her.. case solved.
Why isn’t someone from the district arrested – they knew she was missing.
If they was buying in the backyard, that is so simple, find out
Beautiful little girl. Prayers for a safe return.
A child is never safe around white old men.
Sad story but being reported missing 3weeks later….parents definitely killed her
What an awful situation.😢 I hope they spend the rest of their life in prison
I hope and pray they find this little girl
USA !!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
American are really murderer by nature
The Bible says kids against children, Children against parents. It’s happening at an alarming rate
They killed her.
Who gives a sh!t quote from every parents
Just looking at the pictures of them, you can tell they are guilty. I hope this Angel is found safe, but I’m having my doubts..I’ll pray for you beautiful Angel.
Following the disappearance of the child, the police should have discretely watched the home and the parents, and immediately investigated what they were burning in the back garden. To hear that the burning was happening for days after the child was missing indicates they were incinerating her body. I know that no alarm was raised by the parents while they were getting rid of evidence or human remains, so perhaps the neighbours and police didn’t know anything while the fire was burning away day and night. There’s really not a chance of the little girl returning home, and why under these circumstances would anyone assume or surmise that an 11 year old has the resources to support herself after running away from home therefore they think it’s a possibility that she has run off.
If my son isn’t in school by 10 a.m I get a call from his school. And that is middle school. They NOTiCE! This little girl has been gone for way long for anyone not to be questioning anything.
Sound effects very unnecessary
Why so many lil kids coming up missing wtf
I’am so tired of Parent’s allegedly killing their own children. What’s wrong with these …?? monster’s
A parent who doesn’t report their children missing caused the dissapearance
Are the cheesy sound effects necessary?
Poor girl. If she’s not deceased, I pray she is ok. I think she’s in heaven now. Beautiful soul. No one deserves that.
the guy from “NBC” at the end of this video doing the outro gives me nightmares. Scary, weird looking guy…
I knew something was off. The moms story didn’t add up when she was asked when’s the last time she saw her daughter.
This is so sad for the poor child
They did something to that girl I hate to say it we know the outcome
Look at them… i mean of course they’re guilty
Some people don’t deserve to be parents. I pray she is safe
USALLY YOU REPORT TO THE POLICE WHEN YOUR CHILD disappeared.
This is a Red Flag, the NEIGHBOR SAID THEY SAW BURNING IN THE BACK YARD FOR DAYS EVEN THROUGH THE NIGHT.
CHECK THOSE ASHES IN THE BACK YARD.
You arrest, isolate, and interrogate. Unfortunately, this kind of violation of rights is normal procedure.
I am sorry to hear about the girl. I think that is more likely than not that she is dead. However, you think that the police could do a real investigation without taking shortcuts that could lead to a case not being able to be presented. This has happened when police do things like this.
I knew it had to be the parents. Not reporting your child as missing is automatically suspicious if you are a caring parent
My only question at this point is where will they find that poor girl’s corpse. Also, I suppose, how long will it take to find these people guilty and hand down a sentence.
I live in Charlotte and this saddens me.
Part of the reason for today’s climate of entitled young folk is that previous generations went too far the other way on the discipline scale to the point where spanking your brat (or monkey) in public has become taboo. A good spanking does a world of good, just ask Madonna.
Jesus made it very clear , children are supposed to be protected. Whatever this abusive parents do to a child , they need done to them. Jesus would not agree, but I can’t help it.
Because they know where she is and unfortunately, she’s dead
They’ve been burning in the back yard. Getting rid of the body probably. Sickening.
We need stiffer laws and harsher penalties for people who abuse children in any way and even if they take too long to report the child missing. In my opinion, the only way to solve something as tragic as child abuse is to get tough and stay tough until monsters are in jail, life without parole.
This is sickening, that poor girl 😢
Something tells me the stepfather was molesting her then murdered her. Hope that isn’t the case…We’ll see how this plays out.
Just saw an update on this. The parents released this handwritten front and back of a piece of paper essentially saying someone find out child.
Obviously the mom knows. Anyone missing their kid would call immediately. So they know
Oh I’ll tell you what they were burning back there. The body. They were eliminating evidence. Homicide detectives will smell death a mile away. Maybe it was an accidental death, but the fact that they messed with a dead corpse and took long to report… nope not good at all. Tragedy.
I knew the moment I heard this story it was the parents, they must think everybody’s stupid.
hi, guy’s, how’s everything going? I’m here to tell you now that you are loved so much by JESUS CHRIST
JOHN 3:16 For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. CALL ON HIM NOW. HE WILL HEAR YOU. WE WILL NEVER BE SATIFIED UNTIL YOU FIND JESUS CHRIST. HE DIED FOR EVERYONE SINS. WE CAN AGREE THAT WE ALL DO SIN.
BUT HE PAID THE PRICE FOR THAT. 1 Corinthians 6:20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. I LOVE YOU ALL
Isn’t it stupid that thousands of people will storm over their right not to wear a mask, but when a child disappears, presumably with its very life in danger, nobody cares enough to ask where she is?
My stepmother married my dad who 8 kids who weren’t his and he took 4 away from us and we were all in the same place
Ohhhhh no not another baby
I remember when I was in high school if we skipped ONE class you’d get a phone call for EACH period you slipped. Why did the school board take 22 days to notice????? That’s so odd.
Step daddy looks suspicious… and the victims mother looks desperate to keep a man even if her own flesh and blood is discarded
I’m so freakin sick of people committing all these horrible crimes to CHILDREN!! THESE PEOPLE NEED TO REALLY GET LENGTHIER PRISON SENTENCES/DEATH PENALTY!!..THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! IT NEEDS TO STOP STARTING NOW!
You poor baby you deserved better than those trash people called parents
She might be dead
the moment I heard stepfather… I knew enough
dont bring a strange man with a questionable background… divorced… into your daughters life…the moment she gets 11 or 12 he will prey on her….
Yikes, I would test whatever was burning
Those parents LOOK 👀 SHADY af!!🤨

I’ve blown my account twice and it’s frustrating..please recommend a good expert that can
trade on my behalf and generate profit for me.

Talking about been successful. I know I am blessed if not I wouldn’t have met someone who is as spectacular as Mrs Stacy Griffin Dollary
My love for FOREX will never die BTC all the
way. All thanks to my professional trader Mrs Stacy Griffin Dollary…
Sounds like this girl was let down across the board! They should all be held accountable for what ever the reason this girl is missing. Hopefully it’s good outcome for her and those that failed her I hope they get what they all deserve but they probably won’t because the world don’t work like that.
I never understand why moms would choose a man over their children..
Pedo parents never be trusted
Step parents are evil
The stepdad looks like a creep…
So sad. Just horrible.
What is happening to people?
Step father. That’s all I needed to hear.
