STORY
Once upon a time, in a prosperous American city, the Gladsteins lived in a grand and elegant home. Marilyn and Peter were successful real estate agents, known for their luxurious lifestyle and impeccable taste. Their children lived a life of privilege, surrounded by the best of everything money could buy. However, behind closed doors, the Gladsteins were hiding a dark secret. They were involved in illegal animal abuse, a fact that came to light in 2012 when they were apprehended by the authorities. The police raid on their home revealed dozens of neglected animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and more. Marilyn and Peter were sentenced to 8 years in prison, and their once-beautiful home was left empty and forgotten. The children were left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, forced to come to terms with the consequences of their parent's choices. The Gladsteins' once-luxurious home stood as a reminder of their fall from grace. What was once a symbol of their success and wealth now served as a haunting example of the consequences of one's actions? The once-proud family was now a cautionary tale, reminding all who passed by of the importance of making good choices and living a virtuous life. Years passed, and the Gladsteins' children grew into adulthood, determined to turn their lives around and make something of themselves. They worked hard and went to great lengths to distance themselves from their parents' past, doing everything in their power to create a better future for themselves.

It feels appropriate that the innocent child’s room would be bright and happy, the parents’ room decaying and dark.

At 34:00 when he said “I hope you’re well in life right now” I got chills😞 The way they handled her belongs and talked about her with such grace and respect without knowing she has passed was very inspiring. This world needs more people like you two. Thank you for being such kind, respectful humans❤️
I hope you’re resting in paradise sweet Emily.

Michael and Marilyn Gladstein were arrested in September of 2010...that house was condemned just 1 week after their arrest so they were never allowed back inside which explains the advanced state of decay. The husband was a predominate and wealthy Dermatologist in Long Island NY. There were 115 dogs living in degusting conditions there. Marilyn ran a puppy mill out of that place. Michael Gladstein is still practicing in Brooklyn NY... though they were found guilty neither did any real jailtime. Their sentences were commuted to 5 years probation and they can never own animals of any sort. So that house has sat empty for 12 years now shadowed only by the memory of the terrible neglect those poor animals suffered. No food, water or warmth until that kind neighbor saved them from a terrible fate.

The way you talk about the places is so lovely and respectful, your mother raised a gentleman 🥰

[Janadu]

People who abuse children and animals are beyond redemption. Thank you, as always, for your respectful and insightful explorations. You are the very best.

[dorisjonsson]

These people should have more year in prison. Gets so angry when people do abuse animal. The animals is so innocent like children.

I want to say his enthusiasm and heart towards the animals and the little girls doll house brought me to tears. You can tell he is a real man’s man but he is also à sensitive man. I wish God create more men like this man and his Bro

The smaller rooms and laundry were actually the ORIGINAL Servants Quarters. That is why there is the smaller set of stairs from the kitchen. This home was built long before the Gladsteins owned it. The air and heat in the basement was retrofitted to the home. That dumbwaiter was a lift for coal from the basement area to the upper floors.

I did a little bit of searching on the internet about these people in this story. His name was actually dr. Michael Gladstein who is a dermatologist and his wife Marilyn was his receptionist. The information that I found said that the way they were brought to the attention of the authorities was because their smoke detector went off because of the high ammonia levels in the home. The story also said there was one pony and three goats it did not mention how many cats but it did say their work 115 dogs rescued from the property

These people absolutely DISGUST me! The story also said many of the animals were removed from within the house where the detector went off because of the high levels of ammonia do to the urine in the house. These people were not good to their animals and to let their child live in that kind of cells makes up horrible parents as well I don't care how much they let their child dress up and bought her trinkets you don't let a child you love live in that kind of Filth.

I was intrigued so I did a little digging. Emily has passed away last summer. She seemed very friendly, ambitious and loved. RIP 🙏

This 8 bedroom, 4 bathroom mansion was built in 1938 by Francis Plimpton on a 27 acre piece of land he called Sweet Hollow. He built the little child's house in the back, for his children. He passed away in 1982, his wife lived there until 1995 when she left because she was too old to live in the house. In the 2000s, Michael and his wife Marilyn bought the house and lived there with their daughter Emily. It all came to an end, when the urine in the house turned to ammonia, which alerted authorities. Dressed in full hazmat suits, they found a horrible scene, dead animals everywhere. There were 115 dogs, 3 goats, one cat and one pony. 30 of the dogs were dead, some of their bodies found piled in the sink and bathtub. The pony's hooves were so bad, a hacksaw had to be used to trim it's hooves. They were fined $142, 000.00 to take care of the animals and were arrested for what they did to the animals. The house is for sale, the price tag, 1.7 million. Michael still practices dermatology in New York.

This huge house is so haunted looking, the decay hangs like moss on swamp trees, and yet we see the ghost of elegance around the edges of the rooms. What a grand dining room set. The doll house was beautiful. Thank you for sharing you two.

[robinc]

That house looks like it's been abandoned for over 30 years!! It must have already been run down to look so bad after just 11 years.

[gwencasados]

The book you found in the siblings room is vintage written in 1889. Thank you for your tour. So sad that Emily passed away so young at 29. I hope she had some happiness after such tragedy losing her parents and living in filth. I also pray all the animals were rescued and loved by good families. Sad story but appreciate what you do. ❤️❤️

[heidigordon]

These people collected animals like they collected things. They were true hoarders and I feel so badly for those poor animals that were collected and neglected. That is abuse. I’m a dog owner and lover so this explore was especially dark for me. It looked to me like Marilyn doted on her child so at least there was that, but was she trying to put pretty things in front of Emily’s eyes to try and disguise the ugly horrors that were going on at that place. This whole thing broke my heart.
The young pictures of the house when it was white and bright were beautiful. I think the dark redecorating was a reflection of what was happening to the souls of Marilyn and Michael as they spiraled further into the world of animal abuse.

About Emily: I saw a video of this place some time ago and wanted to find out what the story is as they didnt gave much information in the other video. The decay in the other one wasnt that bad yet and there was still a picture of their cat on top of the piano. I was wondering what happened to Emily after the parents went into prison so I checked if I find some informations about her and her life afterwards and I did. I found her instagram account, the same picture of their cat still on her account, and another page created by her friends. She's deceased in 2022. I don't knew her myself but it made me so sad to read about her passing...

[Genesis-wodg]

I love how you guys are always working together, passing the camera back and forth, and sometimes helping finish each others sentences. You're a great team. I love your channel ❤️

Why the house was so decayed..They neglected it also..
This 8 bedroom, 4 bathroom mansion – nicknamed “Sweet Hollow” - was built on 27 acres in 1938 by attorney Francis Plimpton. He included a dollhouse in the back for the kids to play in. When Francis passed away in 1982, his wife continued living there until she passed in 1995.

Then along in the 2000s came dermatologist Michael Gladstein. He purchases the mansion and he and his wife Marilyn settle in.

[deborahrobinson]

Reading on the condition of the house when the 115 dogs, puppies, and a few other animals were found and taken from there, no wonder the place is in such poor condition so rapidly.
The ammonia from the urine of the dogs actually set off the fire alarm. I've never heard of this, but that shows how bad it was. It was said that the dogs were actually fighting over the water from the fireman's hoses. Hard to imagine what it was really like.

[ramona_rami]

Such an emotional life story, too bad people don't realize lack of responsability and bad choices can ruin their children's future forever! I love Emily's bedroom, all those cute little toys, the dresses, her innocent fairytale like universe! I also love your gentleness, care and respect for any of the family's personal items, Lesley! Thank you for this touching exploration!!!
