    This video was restricted by YouTube so they won’t push it out to as many people. Can you do us a favor and share? More people need to know about Oakley’s story🙏💔 thank you
  • @sland6428
    Imagine being a case worker and saying “don’t get too attached next time” that’s DANGEROUS These kids need attachment more than anything!!
  • @lilyc9722
    The grandparents are such cowards letting their meth-addicted, unemployed son ruin three children's lives because they were afraid of him taking away their access to the grandkids. If they were better people, they'd recognize their son is an unfit parent and be supporting the foster family or trying to get custody themselves.
  • @purplechickon
    DCYF didnt just fail Oakley... they killed her. By sending her back with obviously unsafe parents and never checking in on her. This makes me so sad, I just dont understand any of it. My heart is broken for her foster parents who truly loved her. I hope they get answers some day.
  • I’m so sick of the social services treating children like possessions you can pass around, they have feelings and thoughts and early childhood is such an impressionable and vulnerable time, I myself was failed by the system so cases like these just enrage me
  • @MsKJackson831
    This is beyond sickening. Oakley could have had a loving happy home and instead they fought to have her back just to abuse her?? I'm just at a loss for words. Truly human garbage
  • @olivialopez2958
    The way her foster mom and dad are able to bounce their words off of each other when talking about her. You can tell they loved her. 🥺❤️
  • @dvsdawl
    Oh my god. Can you imagine calling DCYF over and over about a child’s welfare and then… they randomly call you asking if you’ve seen that child? I would scream at them all and tell them her blood is on their hands. Unbelievable
  • @e.3125
    Guys, please write to the governor! I did it a week ago and just got a response. So the emails are actually being read by someone. We, as an audience, can take real action to get justice for Oakley.
  • @emilydodgemhm
    JUSTICE FOR OAKLEY CARLSON Jamie Jo and Erik - if you're reading this, know that you did everything in your power to protect sweet Oakley. Without you both, she likely never would have experienced true love and happiness. You gave that to her. She was failed by her parents, by DCYF, CPS and so many more. But never by you. Thank you for loving her all those years, and continuing to advocate for her now.
  • @judgesjudily
    Taking a child from a loving home & putting her in a home where they KNOW there’s abuse AND DRUGS makes me so angry that I can’t even put it into words. The failure in the system is just unforgivable
  • @Pat_Speaks
    As a former social worker and Washingtonian, I would start looking into a lawsuit against the state which is sometimes the only way to get government type people to act.
  • @ashleylyn
    DCYF should be held criminally responsible for what happened to this poor baby. Donating now.
  • The fact that DCYF let the foster parents think they were getting Oakley back only for a friend to have to tell them that she’s dead is horrifying.
  • @samanfersilyk
    oakley and her foster parents deserved each other. it’s heartbreaking there’s a couple here so CLEARLY in love with this little girl, and she’s thrown back at her horrible bio parents
  • @user-dq6jc1ef6o
    ill always be sick of people asking “why didnt u call cps” “nobody reported to cps” “wheres cps” THEY DONT CARE. they NEVER have and they NEVER will
  • @westernwagal9493
    As a former foster child in Washington State, I have to say, our DYF is horrible. They harm kids more than they help.
  • @arieljayde7486
    It’s devastating knowing that Oakley could have lived a healthy and happy life with her foster parents.
  • Just came to say that I grew up in Grays Harbor and it’s terrible. Not just the foster care system, but the CPS system there sucks. My mom had CPS called numerous times for “surprise” visits, yet she knew about them, sobered up, forced us to clean everything, and they never suspected the abuse, neglect, and drug/alcohol addiction. This has been going on for years and the whole system is corrupt, especially Grays Harbor County.
  • @jeep2nv92
    I could barely finish this video. When you said that the foster parents were told “don’t get so attached next time”, that made my stomach turn. That’s the whole reason of fostering a child. To treat them as if they are your own, and show them unconditional love. I’ve personally never felt so much love for anyone, as I do for my kids. I love my wife, I love my parents, I love my sister, but the love I feel for my kids, I had no idea I could love so much. I could not even imagine doing anything to harm them in any way. My heart breaks for the foster parents, and I hope to God, that the birth “parents” get what they deserve someday soon.
