Derek LevasseurHOST
We're gonna talk more about Rose and how she contributes to the story But I do have to ask myself and I ask all of you based on what we're going to talk about If the children had stayed with this couple Would we be here right now and in my opinion? The answer is emphatically no And that's enough for me to be upset.
Derek LevasseurHOST
So in 2001, when Yasmin was around nine years old, she and Demarcus were taken away from everything they knew and then brought to Rose's home in the Austin neighborhood of the city's west side.
Derek LevasseurHOST
And unfortunately, this wasn't a very stable environment for the kids.
Derek LevasseurHOST
Rose later admitted to being overwhelmed by their behavior, and she would often whip them with a bell, lock them in the basement for hours, and Demarcus claims that she would actually beat him.

And even though it's been a long time without any answers, Yasmin's family and members of her community have not given up hope.
Derek LevasseurHOST
They've regularly held peaceful protests and candlelight vigils, often on Yasmin's birthday.
Derek LevasseurHOST
Yasmin's cousin, Ira Ackrey, is a respected pastor on Chicago's West Side.
Derek LevasseurHOST
He's attended many events honoring Yasmin, and during one of them, he questioned whether the neighborhood where Yasmin lived had influenced how Chicago PD initially handled the investigation, stating, quote, I don't want to slam police, but you gotta wonder, if a child is missing in Bridgeport or Lincoln Park, if the police would have just assumed that it was a runaway...
