Funny how mom cries the most when she realizes her birthday is tomorrow, yet doesn’t seem to be nearly as sad when talking about Madeline :(

[vtw]

Even if Jen didn't know she was being abused. Allowing your daughter to cuddle and sleep with a grown man (who is not her father) is completely inappropriate. She should be charged on those grounds alone.

[elainemarock]

I couldnt believe my ears when she said that the SA was " fine" but didnt believe that he could do something " evil" huh ?? She is not normal, not even ashamed of letting this monster get his claws into her daughter ! Please please charge her ! Please .

[ReleasePeas]

Even her saying “i dont want to believe he killed her” instead of I don’t want to believe she’s dead” is insane to me. She needs to be charged

[patriciagonzalez-jzwv]

Soo.. Maddie couldn't have sleepovers with school friends but she could have sleepovers with Stephan??? 😠

[traceymitchell]

All you hear is me me me, meds meds meds. What about Madeline? Not once have I heard Soto say she loved her daughter, not even a kind word about her. No justice for Madeline until both of them are behind bars. Absolutely disgusting that Jen Soto is walking free.

Letting your underage daughter sleep with your GROWN BF MAN is not a ‘slumber party’ 🙄

[sashagarcia]

the mom knew 1000% she was jealous of maddy and ignored the abuse she 100% knew i garantee it . she deserves life in prison

[rebeccayoung]

She saw evidence of SA and didn't think he'd "done something evil" to her. Excuse you? SAing your daughter, no doubt for years, is the definition of evil. This is making me feel sick!

[truecrimebuff]

She 100% knew he was molesting her daughter and I truly believe she either offered her to the boyfriend or she pretended she didn’t see/know what he was doing. THIS WOMAN NEEDS A VERY LONG PRISON TIME. Poor Maddie had no one to protect her.

[amandamoore]

I think the mom should do time too. Being messed up on pills is not an excuse for your daughter being ABUSED for 6 or 7 years! As a mom (and just human being) she disgusts me ALMOST as much as her gross whiney boyfriend does 🙄🙄

[Jennifer_Layne]

I’m in utter disbelief right now. Despite seeing the photos of him SA’ing Maddie, she still didn’t believe he was evil. I have no words.

[lovelydre]

The fact she let her daughter sleep in the bed with a grown man tells it all

[TiffaniVernon]

She calls it a "slumber party"??!!!! A "slumber party" with a 12yo girl and a 37yo man??!!

[victoriajarboe]

When she leans back, puts her hands behind her head, and stretches out like she’s watching her favorite tv show, while just hearing that her bf was assaulting her daughter, it makes me so sick. She needs to go to jail. She knew what he was doing to that little girl.

[cats]

Mom totally knew and chose to ignore. She should be held accountable. Poor Maddie deserved better.

[Nerdesss]

Did she really just say “I know he did these terrible things to her, but nothing evil (like killing her). He did what I saw in the photos, fine, but what if she’s still out here?” I’m appalled and truly have no words for this. How could you let this happen to your baby???

[marysmith]

The mom handed her daughter to him on a silver platter. She was desperate to keep a “man.”

[gail]

If you had an extreme circumstance and HAD to sleep in the same bed, why would you ever put your teen daughter in between you and your partner?

[robertoestaraneta]

The fact that the mom hasn't been charged is outrageous. She offered alibis for her boyfriend without anyone asking, like she knew they would be questioning the phone factory reset. She knew the boyfriend liked to steal from his parents but allows him to sleep with her teen daughter?!
