Hey everybody, Autumn here. Today we are going to be talking about the child murder of Judith barsi. Most of you don't know but there weren't a lot of child actors way back in the day but Judy became a very famous one. She appeared in over 70 commercials between her being 5 to 10 years old. 
So sit back, relax, grab a snack and let's jump into this case. 
Judith barsi was an American child actress in the mid-to-late 1980s. Both of her parents were Hungarian immigrants. Her mother was Maria barsi, and her father was Joseph barsi. it's described as a smart adorable and funny person. Judith was very social and enjoyed spending time with many of her friends and riding her bicycles around their neighborhood with her friends. Judith had a 1 and 10000 chance of becoming a child star and was noticed initially at a skating rink while members of a commercial crew were filming. She was mistaken at first, for a three-year-old because she was abnormally small compared to the other six year olds. After her first commercial, she moved on to appear and over 70 commercials and as the fame continued, she appeared and films such as Jaws the Revenge, and a voice actress in The Land Before Time. 
Even with Judith being on the brink of Fame, Maria, Judith's mother, would bring Judith hot lunches to school almost every day. She tried to keep Judith’s School life as normal as possible. 
All this came to a screeching halt when Judith was 10 years old. In the household, Judith and her mother were abused by Judith's Father Joseph. Before Judith's career took off, the family had been living on welfare and struggling financially. By the time Judith was 7 years old, she was making over $100,000 a year. Because of this, Judith's father became abusive, jealous, and paranoid. 
As the abuse worsen, it begins fill out in front of neighbors, who described Joseph as often becoming an explicitly angry with the little girl. One neighbor we called an afternoon we're Joseph snaps Judith's new Chi and called her a spoiled brat and then proceeded to Break her kite into tiny pieces. Joseph's reign of terror continued as he constantly threatened to kill himself Maria and Judith. He was in a raging alcoholic. in December of 1986, Maria finally step forward and reported the abuse to police but stated they found no signs of physical abuse. Maria decided to not press charges against  Joseph.
One of Judith's friends recall Judith confessing to her that her father through pots and pans at her and caused her to have a nose bleed. 
She also told a couple, who were friends with the family, quote I'm afraid to go home. My daddy is miserable my daddy is drunk everyday and I know that he wants to kill my mother and quote. 
Judith began to put on weight and her behavior became very disturbing. This once shining little girl became reclusive and began to self harm. After Judith broke down in front of her agent during a singing audition, Maria brought her to a child psychologist. The psychologist stated that Judith was very verbal about the ongoing abuse, and reported her findings to the CPS. the investigation was dropped when Maria assured the caseworker that she was planning on divorcing Joseph and moving her into an apartment she had recently rented. Maria never followed through with her plan to leave. 

Very shortly after on July 25th, 1988, Joseph walked into Judith room and shot her in the head as she slept. Joseph spend the next couple of days wandering around the house with his wife and daughters bodies left where he had killed them. Joseph house Judith and Maria's bodies with gasoline and attempted to set them on fire. Joseph ended up committing suicide following the events. 
On August 9th, 1988, Judith and Maria barsi were laid to rest in white caskets, and unmarked Graves at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles. The graves went without headstones for 16 years before who made by the public could purchase the headstones which were a place where mother and daughter lie beside each other.
