Too bad there wasn't a "Dexter" type around on this one. Or serve her up to the most heinous serial killer of women (sexual sadist torturing type) and just let him have at it. Here's a freebie, do your 'best' work...slowly.
Watch 'An American Crime'. It's horrifying. I feel so bed for her. She went through so much more too... Gertrude forced her to shove a coke bottle up herself, and even severely burned her vagina. I don't understand how people can find pleasure in this. It's scary how many monsters there are out there.
There are evil people in this world and I believe many of these individuals are compelled to do as much damage as possible. There is an evil in this world that has live and still lives now that has been here since before time memorian, born without souls their main mission on life is to cause as much havoc and pain as possible. Creatures that look like you and me but for some reason .
@MegaBlueZOMBIE The Earth around you is all the science you need to have to believe in Christ our Savior. Some random explosion couldn't have created all this! The Human Body is a complex organism. It takes a true master to create it!
I have been on this case now for a few weeks, and have searched high and low as to what may have caused Sylvia to withstand this beyond words abuse from these scumbags, victimology is a new branch of forensic science that wasn't around back in 1965, she could left the 1st time she and her sister Jenny were struck by Gertrude, after that, all hope was lost because of all of the injuries and emotional abuse she sustained, she became weak and had no will to leave her tormentors.
@ydaltarf She stayed at first because Jenny and her had no where else to go and she didn't think it would ever get that bad. When it did start getting bad, Gertrude was hurting both of them and since Sylvia was older and Jenny was crippled because of polio, Sylvia told Gertrude that she would take Jenny's punishment to spare her. Then it escalated really quickly & she was suddenly not strong enough to leave and thought that if she did, Gertrude would just start in on Jenny. So, she stayed.
I wish I could go back in time when this was happening with my friends go to the basement beat the shit out of the people pushing sylvia around and get sylvia out of that house
I gives my thanks to those cigarettes that Gertrude smoked throughout the entire abuse of Sylvia. Because of them, Gertrude is now dead and now rotting in hell and young Sylvia can finally RIP.
Rest In Peace, Sylvia Likens. You never deserved what happened to you. If only I could go back in time and take you away from that hell hole.You were never a prostitute. You were a human being. You were a sweet, innocent, beautiful flower who was mercilessly tortured and killed by an evil sadistic cunt named Gertrude Banishzewski. But now you can rest. Rest In Peace, Sylvia Likens.
FUCK THAT BITCH THAT TORTURED HER SHES A CUNT ASS BITCH ASS SLUT PROSTITUT SHE WILL BURN IN HELL FOR EVER HAHAHHA NO ONE DISERVES THAT TORTURE!!!!!!!!!
Paula Baniszewski moved to Iowa and assumed a new identity; internet rumors claim that she is still alive and lives on a farm somewhere in the Iowa countryside. Stephanie Baniszewski became a school teacher and assumed a new name. John Baniszewki changed his name to John Blake and worked as a truck driver before becoming a real estate agent and lay minister; he was never arrested again. He married and had three children, and has lived in anonymity
I wish Sylvia would have lived longer then 16 years that's just sad. Rest in peace Sylvia Marie Likens. You're in our hearts. January 3rd 1949 -October 16th 1965. In 25 days it'll be her 63rd birthday.
@MrRazorblade999 Because there are assholes on this planet who don't think it's right to kill people like this vile creature. They'd rather put her in a reasonably comfortable jail cell, give her three meals a day, computer access and a color tv in her cell, and access to a college education and exercise periods. These people are called LIBERALS, and are against the death penalty because they say it is cruel and unusual punishment. I'd like to kill her myself, very very slowly.
poor baby i couldnt stand i just keep reading no one will ever know what true happend besides the dumb grety i cant belive she did this to her i love girl you will live on forever in our hearts our angel
Cigarette burns are incredibly painful. (being a smoker myself, I've accidentally burned myself a few times from falling asleep with them) The initial burn is bad enough, but the pain afterwards lingers for a really long time, even when you hold ice on it. And Gertrude gave more than 100 of these to Sylvia...evil woman. And she dared to say "I'm asking for mercy" at her parole hearing?
@mplsmn1975 I know this is what I do not understand. She had no mercy for Sylvia but she wants people to have mercy on her. They should have shown her the same mercy she gave to Sylvia
@MegaCrazycatt I don't get our judicial system. Gertrude Baniszewski not only killed a child, but sadistically tortured her in the process. I would really like an explanation from the people responsible for letting that animal out of her cage. Exceptions should be made to our 8th amendment regarding cruel and unusual punishment just for people like her.
@mplsmn1975 She not only INTENTIONALLY tortured this girl to death, she rallied other kids to help her in torturing this girl. Its not like she accidentally killed this girl somehow, this murder was very intentional and methodically drawn out because Gertie was a massochist who enjoyed seeing people suffer. People like this do not change, and she should never have been set free.
@MegaCrazycatt At her parole hearing Baniszewski said "I'm not sure what role I had in it because I was on drugs. I take full responsibility for whatever happened to Sylvia." (For WHATEVER happened to Sylvia.) That's rich. She's playing the martyr/scapegoat here. "I'm innocent, but I'll take the blame, anyway" so to speak. Let's give the poor self-sacrificing woman a wooden cross so she can nail herself to it. (yes, I stole that line from a movie, but I just had to use it here)
@mplsmn1975 That's a load of crap. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing, she just doesn't want to have to answer for how she could have done something so messed up to another human being. She should never have been released fom prison,
@MegaCrazycatt i don't mean to be 'that person' but you used Masochist instead of Sadistic. Sadistic is when you enjoy inflicting pain on others. Maso means you enjoy receiving pain.
@mplsmn1975 You are absolutely right. This gertrude 'THING' should have got life in prison NEVER to be released! I can NOT believe that the only woman on the parole board 'thought' this cruel & heartless piece of excrement could change. I ask myself had it been her daughter that endured all that poor Sylvia did, whether or not gertrude baniszewski would have walked out of prison at all! I hope she is rotting in the cesspool where she belongs!
@JojoplusBo Personally I think she should have been strapped to a spiked chair with a roaring fire lit under the seat (medieval style) until she was dead, but unfortunately our government is too civilized for that kind of thing. The fact that she wasn't sentenced to the electric chair was an abomination itself, but being paroled after 20 years was unconscionable. The members of that parole board should've been hanged for letting her go.
@mplsmn1975 Totally agree! I kept my comment civilised ONLY because there would never be enough room to comment on what I personally would like to have done to this gertrude. I hear you ma friend....I hear you!
When Gertrude forced Sylvia to write letters to her parents in one or two letters it said "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Likens" insted of mom and dad so if her parents got the letters saying "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Likens", woulden't they have become suspicios because it wasn't like her to say mr and mrs and not mom and dad, In one letter it said "to mom and dad" but not in all of the letters.
I hate how people leave comments about Jenny saying that she was retarted for not telling anyone. HELLO! Gertrude said to Jenny if you tell anyone whats going on with Sylvia whats happening to her will be done to you. So, she wanted to tell but she couldn't do it with out someone telling Gertrude that Jenny told what was happening to Sylvia.
All of those people who held down Sylvia while Gertrude (AKA a monster) carved into her stomach were demented in the mind. A normal person wouldn't have the heart or the inhumanity to hold her down while she was in screaming pain. Sickos.
@spotdathief - it's a form of Stockholm syndrome where the others fear what is going to happen if they show disapproval of what the queen bitch is doing. It's a case of sooner her than me and you shouldn't hold yourself so high unless you have been in their shoes and stood up to the psychopath who has raised you and beaten you into submission from your birth.
It's not inhumanity it's being raised from birth sh*tting yourself in fear everytime that woman breaths, moves or glances your way
What the programme didn't tell you was that the children were also tried and found guilty of various offences relating to the torture and murder of Sylvia
They left out the part that Ricky Hobbs finished the writing on Silvas stomach, and he also put a "3" on her too. Apparently in the book, the reason why Ricky listened to Gertrude was because the cops were speculating that Ricky and Gertie were having sex together and thats why he did that to. Of course Ricky denied it.. poor Silva.,
well she won't be doing it any more. They let her out of the prison and move her to Illnois where she had a job and she pass away. don't know what year but I know she pass away it was reported after she pass.
When I was in school,we had to do a research paper on a heroic person.I chose Sylvia Likens.She was tortured and killed by the stupid trashy woman,Gertrude all so her sister could live.Sylvia,you are a real hero.I can proudly say you'll never be forgotten and Gertrude will never be forgiven.
@conkersla She was a hero. Sylvia could've fought back, could've told, could've done ANYTHING. But she was afraid that if she fought back, they'd be picking on Jenny instead. Sylvia didn't want to let her sister get hurt. So she took it all. She protected her sister.
@MrAladdin1991 Wonderfully said, MrAladdin. I'd like to find that vile Banizewski whore and have her slowly torn into so many pieces that God himself couldn't find them all. Damn her for all time for what she did. R I P Precious Sylvia!
Well, the good news is, Gertrude died of long cancer, meaning she suffered as well, she deserved it every bit for what she did, this is the most horrible thing I've ever seen.
Omgsh! I remember watching a movie about this case a couple years ago, and I didn't know for sure whether or not it was a true story, now that I know that it is...good Lord. I just can't believe a mother could do this to someone's child.
why the hell did she write im a prostitute and pround of it in syliva's stomach. gertrude had 6 or 7 kids of her own with out syliva and jenny there shes the bloody prostitute f********** whore. R.I.P syliva likens your story will live forever on.
@phantomchick123 Because her daughter thought that she had told people that she was promiscuous. She shoved coke bottles in her vagina before she wrote those words on her body. There is a good movie on the story called "An American Crime". Unlike the movie, nobody but her sister tried to help her.Gertrude got out of jail early, but died 5 years later of lung cancer. A fitting painful death for such evil. The home that this crime happen in was torn down about a year or two ago.
so what actually happened between the writing of the letter and the finding of her body? I mean... what actually killed her? or did she just finally slip away from starvation and thirst?
I wish someone would have stopped this crime before it went as far as it did. No one should ever be branded something they aren't or go through as much torture as Sylvia did. Rest in Peace, Sylvia, I wish you could have lived longer the 16 years. :)
Watch the movie Aurore a poor lil girl went thew all most the same thing she was beaten branded many times by her stepmother and hit with a wooden nail rod twice in the face and in the foot rest in peace Aurore and slyvia
Gertrude shudda gotten death for murdering her own child.... i dont usually say that about ppl but with this sadistic B**ch i am willing to make an exception
This show is a compleate failure yes i know the case of Benezweskie V The State Of Indiana is true but the way they portraied this was just bad I mean really Bad there is better acting in childrens shows then this
Syliva just wanted to help her own sister and her sister didnt do nothing AND THOSE WHITE ASSES DID SOMETHING CRUEL I BET THEY ARE IN HELL and Syliva with God
@kissy24087 I know; I think what happened is Sylvia said she wanted to take the punishment for her sister because her sister had Polio. I feel bad for her sister too; I wonder if she is still alive. ANd this monster should never have been paroled
This is example to not turn your head away when you suspect something. Behind a casual neigbour family argue you never know what it might be. Saddest part that Sylvia's eternal torture and death could have been avoided if ppl would pay more attention.
@Electronictrip Hey, you are right, I think that if they ever do another movie about Sylvia Likens that have to get the actress who played Gertrude in this to play her again.
this woman in this reinactment should have played Gertrude in the movie An American Crime, she does a great job of capturing a bit of the evil that possessed Gertrude. The actress who played her in the movie did a horrible job of portraying Gert's evil. I really despise that movie to be honest.
@roblou62 I know what you mean, I hate it when I saw The Girl next door, I could handle An American crime but not the girl next door it didn't tell the story right and it wasn't easy to watch and neither was an american crime, but I liked it better then thr girl next door. I hope she is in a safer place now. Sylvia, not Gertrude.
They should dig this spiteful bitch up and chop off her head and shove it up her fucking ass. WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT. BURN IN HELL ALL OF YOU BANISZEWSKI'S. FOR THE NEXT ONE HUNDRED GENERATIONS SHOULD ALL OF YOU BURN IN HELL. PIGS.
I don't know if anyone one on here saw the episode of Shanda Sharer but Canidance also said that about Tony Lawerence you know the whole, "If I can do this to her, then I can do this to you." Yeah, maybe she can word it differently when she talks about someone killing someone else.
I hope that bloody cunty fucking bastardy monster that is NOT human rots in hell and if i was the police i would have punched the fucking hell out of her!! I would have done everything that it did to that poor Sylivia to it!! That should it's fucking punishment! That or a slow painful death whilst being violently raped
During her parole hearing, Gertrude said, "I'm not sure what role I had in it ... because I was on drugs. I never really knew her ... I take full responsibility for whatever happened to Sylvia."
Sounds like a bullshit excuse to me. If she really had almost no income, I would think more than likely they wouldn't be throwing away what little money they had on drugs. Yeah, blame the drugs for the slow torture and murder of Sylvia Likens. It was her own damn fault. She should still be in jail.
I think An American Crime told the story about Sylvia better then The Girl next door, It was hard for me to watch them both but I liked An American Crime better.
@EmmyRossumFan9 I agree but whenever I see anything related to Sylvia Likens I lose my mind. Every vicious thing I could imagine I wish for Gertie the slut bitch and every single one of her decendants. This piece of shit is dead now but she should be more than dead. Ripped apart and made to devour her own children. OH HELL I HATE THIS BITCH. That movie made me so angry I can't even express it although I'm trying to. Gerties mother should burn in hell. Her kids and their kids. JUST BURN.
Talking of The Inquisition, the origins and genetic traits of the inquisitors is unquestionably puppets in the hands of the ruling elites who were psychopathically sadistic. Much as today, where the military dictate policy and politics, in warfare against the general populations, they attract to their senior ranks those of similar disposition. As Hollywood and Medicine are under military control, one has to look for the major shareholders in the perpetuation of warfare, torture and abuse.
She is a freaking sasdistic whore im only ten but if somebody talked to me like this i would slap her tie her up and let her rot

They left out the part that Ricky Hobbs finished the writing on Silvas stomach, and he also put a "3" on her too. Apparently in the book, the reason why Ricky listened to Gertrude was because the cops were speculating that Ricky and Gertie were having sex together and thats why he did that to. Of course Ricky denied it.. poor Silva.,

When I was in school,we had to do a research paper on a heroic person.I chose Sylvia Likens.She was tortured and killed by the stupid trashy woman,Gertrude all so her sister could live.Sylvia,you are a real hero.I can proudly say you'll never be forgotten and Gertrude will never be forgiven.

@MrAladdin1991 really? because she wasn't really heroic, she was tortured and killed, she didn't really did anything heroic.

@conkersla She died to protect her sister.
MrAladdin1991 5 months ago
@conkersla She was a hero. Sylvia could've fought back, could've told, could've done ANYTHING. But she was afraid that if she fought back, they'd be picking on Jenny instead. Sylvia didn't want to let her sister get hurt. So she took it all. She protected her sister.

why the hell did she write im a prostitute and pround of it in syliva's stomach. gertrude had 6 or 7 kids of her own with out syliva and jenny there shes the bloody prostitute f********** whore. R.I.P syliva likens your story will live forever on.
phantomchick123 11 months ago 93
@phantomchick123 Because her daughter thought that she had told people that she was promiscuous. She shoved coke bottles in her vagina before she wrote those words on her body. There is a good movie on the story called "An American Crime". Unlike the movie, nobody but her sister tried to help her.Gertrude got out of jail early, but died 5 years later of lung cancer. A fitting painful death for such evil. The home that this crime happen in was torn down about a year or two ago.

@kissy24087 I know; I think what happened is Sylvia said she wanted to take the punishment for her sister because her sister had Polio. I feel bad for her sister too; I wonder if she is still alive. ANd this monster should never have been paroled

This is example to not turn your head away when you suspect something. Behind a casual neigbour family argue you never know what it might be. Saddest part that Sylvia's eternal torture and death could have been avoided if ppl would pay more attention.

HeyyItsKara 1 year ago
this woman in this reinactment should have played Gertrude in the movie An American Crime, she does a great job of capturing a bit of the evil that possessed Gertrude. The actress who played her in the movie did a horrible job of portraying Gert's evil. I really despise that movie to be honest.

I hope she is in a safer place now. Sylvia, not Gertrude.

During her parole hearing, Gertrude said, "I'm not sure what role I had in it ... because I was on drugs. I never really knew her ... I take full responsibility for whatever happened to Sylvia."
Sounds like a bullshit excuse to me. If she really had almost no income, I would think more than likely they wouldn't be throwing away what little money they had on drugs. Yeah, blame the drugs for the slow torture and murder of Sylvia Likens. It was her own damn fault. She should still be in jail.

I think An American Crime told the story about Sylvia better then The Girl next door, It was hard for me to watch them both but I liked An American Crime better.
EmmyRossumFan94 1 year ago 2
@EmmyRossumFan9 I agree but whenever I see anything related to Sylvia Likens I lose my mind. Every vicious thing I could imagine I wish for Gertie the slut bitch and every single one of her decendants. This piece of shit is dead now but she should be more than dead. Ripped apart and made to devour her own children. OH HELL I HATE THIS BITCH. That movie made me so angry I can't even express it although I'm trying to. Gerties mother should burn in hell. Her kids and their kids. JUST BURN.

Talking of The Inquisition, the origins and genetic traits of the inquisitors is unquestionably puppets in the hands of the ruling elites who were psychopathically sadistic. Much as today, where the military dictate policy and politics, in warfare against the general populations, they attract to their senior ranks those of similar disposition. As Hollywood and Medicine are under military control, one has to look for the major shareholders in the perpetuation of warfare, torture and abuse.
