The worst part about this episode was how the "mother" wasn't charged with anything or arrested for what she did.

[cheyrose]

"I could never harm a child." Gave him to strangers who were beyond sketchy and ended up being horrible criminals who traumatized him worse than what that mom could ever imagine, she could have just taken him to therapy...

[kevintravers]

Not every person deserves to be a mother. Fact she gave her child away to such sketchy people would be worthy of lifetime incarceration. I work with kids with mental disabilities and no matter how difficult the kid acts, there’s always a better way.

[nbrikha]

The opening the car door doing 70mph bit was more HER fault than the kids...child safety locks are standard

[WarGrowlmon]

The kid ends up being fine: he was so much of a handful that the molester actually abandoned him at the airport. They found him stowed away aboard a flight to Atlanta which the kid misunderstood as being in Georgia the country. He was unconscious by the time that Bensen found him, but he ended up being alright.

[matthewcrome]

This is so sickening... giving up a kid to child molesters is one thing, but giving a diabetic severely autistic kid to child molesters is a whole nother level of evil!

[DragonGoddess]

2:04 "ShE wAs VeRy nIcE"

😒 Lady. Plenty of evil people know how to pretend to be nice

[SmokeyMcb]

A wise hedgehog once said:

"Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like, but if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that's no good! It's your body. No one has the right to touch you if you don't want them to so what do you do? First say NO! Then you get out of it. Most important you got to tell someone you trust like your parents, your teacher, a police officer."

[laverdad]

The fact that things like this really happen is wild

[joncarroll]

I love how Fin has this almost supernatural ability to know every address in NYC.

[MrRepoman]

Its frustrating to know that this mother didnt even get charged for what she did. Gave her child to pornographers and got off with a slap on the wrist.

[swimfast]

1:50 thats.... child abandonment. And they're saying they can't charge her for breaking any laws? Wtf? You can he arrested for not picking up your kid from the hospital or from school etc but she's allowed to just give him to a stranger without the dad's consent and not be charged with a crime????

[skeletonflower]

It's so weird as someone who is not from the US how there are laws that are literally enabling things like this. Like how can you one day decide to give away your child to strangers and it's legal in some states? Are the people in charge apart of a ring exploiting children because who in their right mind thinks this will benefit the kids.

[torisisk]

In Texas, they just a
Instated a new law called “Athena Alert” to broadcast on an regional alert for missing children, whether or not they have confirmation of a kidnapping. I think everyone needs to does this. Having to have confirmation that they were kidnapped to put out an alert for a missing kid kinda seems counterproductive

[SaraNightfire]

I have high functioning Aspergers, my mom told me that they told her that she was offered to institutionalize me.

She told them hell no, this was early 80’s. Kids were banging their heads against a wall wearing helmets.

My mom spent over a decade working with me and bringing me to several types of therapies to help improve my work.

This is inexcusable, there’s always an way.

[loveGG]

This is like what happened with Myka Stauffer. Re-homing adopted kids with disabilities, it's sick. Hope that real life situation turned out better.

[CA-bwvw]

They should charge both parents. You don't adopt a kid and hand them over to some shady person like a broken toy. You don't adopt a kid and after discovering severe mental and physical issues, abandon the kid and your wife. I don't want to have kids because I know I'm not selfless enough to give them the care they need. Not everyone deserves to be parents.

[heleanapowell]

He opened the car open? Where are the child safety locks!? You're at fault lady!

[MsSOwen]

I've seen plenty of desperate parents in need of help badly, but usually they sought out help from any support they have. If they didn't have anyone to turn to for support, then to hospitals, social workers, or other legal channels. Certainly not to some rando on a website which is an obvious red flag of handing a child into a questionable situation.

[Relicanth]

I have a feeling the mother sensed all the red flags and did it anyway. Probably out of spite for Nikki, probably almost punishing him.
