As someone who gets easily overwhelmed by all of the news in the world, I greatly appreciate these headline highlights- they help keep me informed without going down the rabbit holes.
As much as I LOVE your content Annie Elise and the community that you've created, it honestly breaks my heart every single time I’m reminded of just how much darkness exists in the world. The fact that there’s even a need for a headline highlights video to capture the sheer amount of terrible things happening says so much about where we are as a society. It’s overwhelming to think about how many people choose to cause harm, and how their actions ripple out across every platform and every corner of the internet. Our world feels so fractured at times, and seeing this kind of content even when it’s meant to inform just reminds me how much pain and cruelty still exist. I wish we lived in a world where videos like this weren’t necessary at all. 😓
I OFTEN think about what is happening in different houses as I drive through areas. Nice community or not. 😢😮
It's always the crimes against the most vulnerable that are the most sad to hear about. 😢
The Michael Vaughn case is out in my neck of the woods. Was a huge story for a while. Unbelievable what those people did to him, poor baby.
With friends like that who needs enemies. I’m glad she was found, and on her way to getting healthy.
The case regarding the woman who was restrained by “friends” is SO reminiscent of the woman Shelly Knotek had killed. She had her restrained and she was beaten, starved, just completely tortured. The kids also had to participate in the torture. I’ve been begging for this case to be covered. It was truly such a heartbreaking case
Having family members with disabilities or working directly with anyone with disabilities our deepest concerns is the lack of friendships they have. So we encourage it, but there is always an inherent fear when a stranger becomes friends with a child or adult with disabilities, yet we have to tread lightly, respectfully, & protectively because they are always going to be more vulnerable than anyone else we know & love.
Annie! I’ve got a case for you. The murder of baby Francine Meegan. First the parents sold her, then the father killed her and burned her body in the Las Vegas desert where cowboys found her. I knew the older sister. It’s a crazy story.
As a mom of a child with developmental disabilities this is my nightmare.
