What is the tragic story of Judah Morgan?
Hello everyone, my name is Rachel and welcome back to another true crime video. So the case that I have for you all today is very devastating. The details are very difficult to hear. This is one of the worst cases of abuse that I think I have looked into and researching this case was very tough. I actually researched it a while ago, maybe three or four weeks ago at this point, but I couldn't bring myself to share this case until now because whatever you can imagine a child could go through for absolutely no reason, this is going to be worse. So if that is something that you are very sensitive to, I would advise that you skip this video for now. But if you can handle it, I want you to hear the story of this sweet, adorable little boy who is taken from this world way too soon for absolutely no reason. So without any further delay, let's get into it. Judah Morgan was born on June 17th, 2017 in Lepore, Indiana to 21-year-old Mary Yoder and 23-year-old Alan Morgan.
What was Judah's early life like?
When Judah was born, he had one older brother who was three years old at the time. Judah was known to be a happy energetic little boy. He loved fruit and popcorn on family movie nights. He was also known to be an intelligent little boy who learned very quickly and loved teaching others about the things that he knew. His family says that only 18 months old, Judah knew his right hand from his left. He loved wearing hats and smiling big for photos. He loved spending time with his siblings and playing with the family dogs, Thor and Willow, taking them to the park with his family whenever he got a chance. He loved jumping into puddles, riding his bike, and being outdoors. He loved to sing and dance and some of his favorite shows were Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, and The Magic School Bus.
He loved the movie Cars with his favorite character being Lightning McQueen. However, Judah had a very rough life from the moment he was born. In the days before he was born, the Department of Child Services had received complaints that Judah's older siblings had been abused and neglected by their parents, and upon investigation, it appeared that there was abuse and neglect happening in the home. And when he was born, it was found that Judah had very large amounts of THC in his system, so his mother couldn't bring herself to stop smoking weed while she was pregnant. So, Judah's three-year-old brother was removed from the home and he was placed with his maternal grandmother. Judah was then not allowed to return home with his family and was placed into kinship care.
How did Judah end up in kinship care?
Judah was placed into the care of his biologically related third cousin, Gina Hullet, and her husband, Phil. Gina had three children of her own, Kyle, Caitlin, and Madison, and she thought that Judah would adjust really well in her home. She knew that she could provide a stable, safe, loving home for Judah to grow up in. Now, there is a difference between being placed into foster care and kinship. Foster parents have to have a license that requires specific requirements in order to have a child placed into their care. They're given payments by the government to help take care of that child as well. They have the option to adopt at a certain point, but the goal with foster care is to eventually place the child back with their biological family.
As we know, foster care doesn't always work and although the goal is that there's a very strict criteria and there are a lot of regulations that have to be followed, there are a lot of situations where children end up in homes that are bad, if not worse, from the home that they were taken from. But in a lot of situations, the foster family is amazing. They do their best to care for the child and make them feel welcome and like they're a part of the family. On the other hand, kinship care is legal guardianship by relatives or very close friends of the family. A lot of times, kinships involve grandparents, siblings of the parents, so the child's aunts or uncles. A lot of the times, this can be done with or without the involvement of a child welfare agency. They also aren't given any sort of financial assistance for taking a child in. A lot of times, kinship is the preferred choice because they get to stay with their biological or close family. They get to stay in a situation that they may be more familiar with.
