write her own name and insisted that her name was hotdog and became very uncooperative with her parents and staff Susan eventually decided not to enroll Jani after she learned that she had a difficult time sitting still while other children at storytime she removed her and decided to home-school her instead according to Susan Jenny had no easier time with homeschooling she still refused to pay attention enough during the teaching and will not do any work that required sitting still it was also very difficult for Jani to make friends because the other kids simply didn't have the imagination that Jani did which is likely why she continued her relationships with her imaginary friends by the time she was six years old Jenny's behavior was almost unimaginable she was taken to see numerous doctors who eventually referred to her mental state as psychosis and insisted that her imaginary friends were hallucinations she was hospitalized in 2008 and spent two years in an inpatient treatment

private space one child live in one apartment and the other would live in the apartment across the hall they continued this arrangement for nearly two years today Jenny is about 16 years old and is doing fairly well all things considered she's unfairly heavy medications but appears in her mother's YouTube videos frequently she's believed to still maintain her relationship with her imaginary friends to this day number three back in 2015 a couple adopted a young boy named Rylan for a meth-addicted family though they soon learned of his obsession with blood knives and violence after the adoption they found that both of his parents suffered from bipolar disorder and their drug use certainly didn't help this his current parents are concerned that his biological makeup may lead him to be irrationally violent one day and even appeared on dr. Phil to express their concerns the family also have three other children in Kim their mother believes that Rylands transition was quite smooth though she soon began to realize that he was not developing the same ways as the other children when he turned just three years old they caught him stabbing knives into a watermelon from here Rylan formed a relationship with an imaginary robot friend named bleeder he then began to say that bleeder wants him to kill his whole family talking about how he's going to stab him to death frequently according to his mother when he was just six years old he locked himself in the bathroom with his older brother's razor blade and cut off the tips of his fingers just to see the blood according to Rylan bleeder told him to do it according to the family their biggest fear is that they're going to raise a murderer each of the parents takes turns solely taking care of Rylan as he requires so much more attention than the other children his father says that they haven't lived like a normal family in the last three years and then when he has a breakdown they have to restrain him for upwards of 45 minutes his father says that he's found sharp objects hidden behind their toilet before and feel certain that one day bleeder will tell us to kill someone number two according to police a man by the name of Ricky Cole had an imaginary friend that told him to hurt people and occasionally kill them according to authorities a man named Jason Cote heard Ricky having a conversation with his imaginary friend known as Vern he says that this conversation made him fear for his life and Jason also says that Ricky had bragged about killing two other people before and is being investigated for weapons charge at the time ultimately Jason says that these facts are it led him to take Ricky's life in 2013 Ricky was found bludgeoned to death by metal pipe inside of his own home in New Hampshire and Jason was the only suspect Jason alleges that the attack was solely in self-defense though the severity of Ricky's wounds seemed to indicate otherwise as his skull was found completely crushed during the attack further reports seem to indicate that Jason may have been under the influence of certain illegal substances at the time of the attack which may have led him to interpret Ricky's conversation with an imaginary friend and a negative light regardless Jason is now facing trial and is likely to spend life in prison number one Casey Anthony is surely a name that most of us remember she was questioned back in 2008 after she was believed to have been involved in the disappearance and ultimately death of her little girl Caylee she was never actually charged with the murder and spent just a very short amount of time in prison one of the most curious and twisted details of the Casey Anthony trial though was that she reportedly left her daughter with that nanny named Zenaida or zani for sure she returned home later that day to pick her daughter up but both she and the nanny were allegedly gone however investigators soon found out this supposed nanny never actually existed Casey had told investigators that zani had been watching her daughter for over a year and a half and that she would oftentimes drop her daughter off at xanies apartment police eventually located a woman named zani and questioned her about Casey though she says that she'd never met Casey or even seen her before according to investigators zanny was simply one of the many fictional characters that case he had made up through the course of the trial some of these characters had fold backstories names for family members and parents and even details that Casey could recall straight off the top of her head though none of these people actually existed some have suggested the Casey may suffer from some form of mental illness though many others have simply come to the conclusion that Casey is a pathological liar and told stories of these fictional people and a way to cover up any possible tie she may have had to her daughter's disappearance Casey remains a free woman to this day and even though her allegations of neglect child endangerment and murder never went anywhere through the legal system she was awarded the title of most hated woman in America just a few years back Casey has since spoken of the possibility of having another child thank you guys so much for watching if you like this video be sure to click that like button also don't forget to subscribe and click that notification ball to keep updated with our videos [Music] you
