IL - Child, 9, charged in fire deaths of 5 people, Goodfield, 6 Apr 2019

Has anyone found Katie's YouTube channel?

That lump of sod can’t be bothered to get her tail up to throw away a diaper, dress her baby or get some water so I have a hard time believing she had the energy and inertia necessary to maintaining a YouTube channel.

 

[gitana1]

These videos are so disturbing. There is just so much dysfunction going on. I’ve got to go back to the beginning.

Someone please download them! I tried and failed.

 

[gitana1]

From the looks of it she wouldn't have the wherewithal nor 'energy' to make one... unless its recent, for attention. She's just a bump on a log in all the videos i've seen. She surely didn't take the time to ever clean anything... and i consider myself a BAD housekeeper, so thats saying a LOT.

Jinx!!

This little kid has some deep internal struggle going on. He’s thought carefully about posting these two videos.
Truly breaks my heart. He needed someone to hear him. Pre-planning in process?

I believe that this channel was under his name, but it was for him & his mom to do together. I am basing this off of one of the first videos I saw on that particular channel & on the tik tok videos it has his mom's tik tok user name.

Agreed. ...and that video --- did JW just take off his toddler's diaper and fling it across the room ?
And left it there to rot and smell ?
Didn't care enough to dispose of it properly ?
Smdh.

I thought the same thing... he just flung it.......... i thought maybe i saw wrong

That's what it looked like to me -- but, hey, there was a diaper pail/trash can nearby, so gee.... ya know how it is.

Arrest warrant, yes, that would be very informative. I would really, really like to see that.

My own post - after finding out there is no such thing.
D'oh. <whap>

 

[borndem]

So sorry. I can’t either anymore. I’m hitting paywalls everywhere now.

Try this:
Illinois mobile home fire that killed five was intentionally set, authorities say

Got there! A big Thanks, @imstilla.grandma!
Good info.

I was hoping to find details of how it happened, i.e., what was ignited, what was used to do it, etc. Naive, wasn't I?! Maybe later.

In process...
Stay tuned...

Yes, that the correct protocol...
Family placement. Hmmm. That's a bit scary, IMO. (sitting on my hands now)

Per this article, after the fire, he was staying with paternal grandparents. I presume that's what DCF means by "foster care."

The fire was April 6th. so it was a few days later... but still completely agree with you on how they act. But yes, all is VERY strange. And in her current interviews she states one 2 yr old died in her arms... so that has changed. Supposedly Boyfriend pulled her out of the trailer, yet she was holding a 2 yr old, and then another interview states she was at the window and heard them screaming and then 'they were gone'. So multiple stories now being told.... thus i'm sure that is why a gag order now in place.

The varied stories help the kid. But her plastering his face and name everywhere don’t. I’m guessing that’s the issue. And fear that she will say more.

Do sleeping people who die of smoke inhalation scream for some time first? I mean that I thought that was one reason people die in house fires while still asleep is that the toxins in the smoke cause unconsciousness before finally causing death.

Also, KA allegedly went out a window during the fire. If he intentionally lit the home on fire, why was he inside of it? In the beginning of the video with the girl where they pretend to he news reporters, KA says something about her pushing or pulling him out the window? I couldn't quite understand what he said. Where was she during the fire?

They do. If they are aware of the fire and smoke and can’t get out. Then it’s like a hot volcano of gagging smoke and ash that suffocates them in seconds.

And yeah. I caught that about the girl pushing him or the window. But she’s never mentioned as a survivor.

I truly thought with the Casey Anthony case I couldn't get much more disgusted with a mother. I've now been proven wrong. As much as I want to stop reading, I just can't. It's a good thing I don't live near that area. If be in j jail for going and smacking a few people

 

[jjenny]

So after the fire, there was a very detailed story about step-father dragging the mother out and then running back to save the children. And lots of screaming going on the inside. And now the article claims everybody else was sleeping and that's why they didn't get out? Is that just really bad reporting or is mother actually saying it now? Cause that's a huge difference in the story. Do these reporters know nothing about what was previously reported?

I'm catching up with you viewing videos. Kyle has 2 accounts on youtube so I just found the ones you were talking about.
Awful...just can't imagine living with those people! Look at how this woman talks...disgusting!

How do they help the kid? Not that he actually needs help, again, the worst he is facing is probation. They can't do nothing to him because of his age.

 

[jjenny]

After looking at the videos I can easily believe that kid had ADHD. Not really buying schizophrenia and bipolar diagnoses.

 

[borndem]

That is interesting that Kyle didn't save his GoPro. Given how much he seemed to love it, I am surprised he let it burn up in the fire. Hmmm.....

I was surprised to hear that as well. Seems to me, that as much as he loved it, if he were going outside (if the fire was set outside), seems like he would have had it with him or stashed it outside before he set the fire IF he set the fire. That's hinky, IMO.
He could have filmed it... innocently or otherwise.

Family placement. Hmmm. That's a bit scary, IMO. (sitting on my hands now)

It looks like CPS placed the child with his paternal grandparents. Hopefully that’s an improvement off what we’ve seen.

Has the kid been posting any more videos after being placed in "foster care?"

Family placement is often actual, real live foster care. CPS has to vet them and do background checks. They have to qualify and then are designated the foster carers. They typically try family placement first.
