This is especially terrifying for me. My nephew broke into my house at 2am last Easter. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia/bi polar, and he also uses heroine . He has attacked his mother so badly that she was hospitalized for a few days. I have to barricade my doors at night because I'm terrified he's going to come back. He's in and out of jails and mental hospitals, and I never know when he's out.
@@cecilialopez1001 He did that because he and the clothes were dirty, not to hide the blood. He acted like any normal person would after doing garden work or something, the difference being that he killed his mother. That's clearly insanity.
@@cecilialopez1001 Watch all the way to the end. There is a specific diagnosis of schizophrenia, not always violent, but obviously this is a terrible case. But it is still an illness.

He had a psychotic break, perhaps kicked off by synthetic drugs, that was interpreted by his mother as drug use. The rehab facility employs psych professionals who should have caught this and made appropriate referrals.
The father pulled him out of the facility prematurely, although I’m not sure how quickly he did it. It’s possible they would have reached a diagnosis if he’d been there longer.
@@eh1702a diagnosis doesn't really mean much. They're mostly used for insurance purposes. I don't think getting diagnosed or finishing rehab would have changed the fact that this kid is a psychopath

I HAVE A SON WHO IS 35. SCHIZOPHRENIC PERSON…..AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IN THE MIND OF THAT GUY WHO KILLED HIS MOTHER…SOMETIMES. THEY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS….
Most schizophrenic people don't end up harming people though. Especially nowadays medication for it basically helps them live normally if they have very severe cases of it. The system failed him and he remained undiagnosed this whole time especially during a time when schizophrenia worsens once males enter their 20's. Though it does vary person to person.
You do not know exactly what's in the mind of that guy, you don't even know what's exactly in the mind of your schizophrenic son, SUPER SCARY YOU THINK YOU KNOW, a judge would be the first to tell you that you cannot know what's in another's mind, that's an audacious and frightening statement, perhaps are you the delusional schizophrenic?
It's kind of sad that the little sister seems to believe he was incapable of that. What if use of the synthetic drugs gave him the mental problems??? I would NEVER want him out again. 😬
Terribly sad and horrific story. I am so sorry this happened. I wish Brandon a recovery from his illness. I hope the family will find peace through the grace of God. Peace be with us.
As someone who doesn't understand the desire to hurt others, especially murder I watch these to try to understand and possibly recognize the signs. I've found that it seems 99.9% have an obvious explanation, greed, jealousy, control, compulsion and even, horrifically, curiosity. This one and a couple others are inexplicable, in the sense that a mental disorder is the reason. Now I wonder if the parents, mostly mother, here blamed drugs instead of looking deeper. Sadly for whatever reason mental illness was either ignored or not considered but she knew something was wrong. This stigma has to change. Mental disorders are biological in most all cases and a person having a serious mental health issue is no different than if they had diabetes or cancer. There are fungi that can control the behaviors of insects and look at Alzheimer's disease, it totally affects behavior! Anyways I hope people learn from this case and others and I'm sure we'll see more of this sadly.
I guess it's satisfying to me that my experience as a Public Defender gave me the schizophrenia idea early on. Glad I stuck with it to hear the word at 14:55+. This is particularly awful for families because it develops after a child has progressed quite a way in life with promise, as here. The delusions are not always murderous, but are debilitating. There are medications, but schizophrenics are notorious for going off the meds when they think they are "better," and relapsing. What a horrible case!
Oh how i wished this kid to have mental health evaluation and support early on, bc he showed signs of mental disturbance/ illness very clearly. It seems such a struggle to get genuine, consistant and valid support in such cases, it's so sad. And Mom + Dad not "pulling at one string" together may have take a part to escalate the situation further. They must have felt so helpless and alone, it's truly heartbreaking. My deepest sympathy to his little sister .
Yes, the torch-and-pitchfork crew was out for Austin Harrouff, too. I suppose most can't comprehend the power of schizophrenia unless they experience it from someone up close. He's not evil, he's sick..... but he shouldn't be allowed to live free among the citizens. He belongs - just like Harrouff does - in a facility that can manage his illness. The rage from the mother's sister is misplaced. Acute mental illness is a life sentence for those that suffer from it, and for those that love them.
They thought it was drugs but it seems he was exhibiting the beginnings of mental illness. My 1st spouse began exhibiting while we were dating but i didn't understand until after marriage and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It can seem like drugs especially if the person is medicating themselves with illegal drugs or alcohol.
So sad. It sounds like all the signs were there and the family was ready and willing to help but the diagnosis was missed by the people who should've know that schizophrenia at that age is always a possibility.
Weed and K2 can trigger schizophrenia. So can acid, it happened to a close friend of mine. His mom was schizophrenic which made it more likely to begin with. The drugs just sped up the process.
When they realised his drug tests were negative why for gods sake did this kid not get psychiatric help. So many people failed him and sadly his mother also.
Its horrible when mental health gets blamed on drugs, People can be very ignorant, and a young mind is still changeable, People with disabilities don't have a mind that matures until later in life. But the ignorance of people and society shaping those people doom themselves.
I don't know what to say about this, obviously, it's horrifying, but I have been smoking mj since 1970. I have not slaughtered any one. This boy was going in this direction with or without smoking pot.
Wonder how dad feels now after undermining his wife/the mom? So senseless. Parents, be on the same page always. Kids are awful! They are feral animals in survival mode and will divide & conquer you.
Sharon was a highly accomplished teacher with an Masters of Education...the degree of violence in this atrocious crime should, imho, demand that Brandon be kept in a locked facility for the remainder of his life...
What does her background have to do with anything? If she was a high school dropout who never worked a day in her life, she should be entitled to the same thing as you're suggesting.
The Dad is a idiot. Of course the son would not show up postive in drug rehab because they seaech your stuff when you come in and have ways to blocks drugs from coming in. Also why waste you money on rehab if you are just going to use. But when someone has no sens of remorse they become a dangerous person.
Can anyone tell me why that guy in the courtroom was shielding Brandon from the camera as he made his speech regarding people inside of other peoples heads? Was that his lawyer? What purpose did that blocking the camera serve? Just curious because I’ve never seen that before.
I hate channels like this that make bullshit tag lines. The investigators were NOT left speechless. And he was not "clearly disconnected from reality", he was sane and clear and was able to give all details without pressure. Stop the click bait bs. You don't need to click bait for people to watch your videos. We're here for the videos, not your tagline, so there's no need in lying on. Just be real and you'll get more subscribers!
Oh, well god, a woman is murdered by her son and you note the house was a mess. Thank you for letting us know. PS - he stabbed her in the eye. And the woman is dead. But then, she wasn't a good housekeeper so.... sheesh
its sad to see the sister is so traumatized she STILL thinks he did it because " voices " told him to. look it sucks. but you have to realize you cant pick your brothers, and its ok to blame them for what they 100% did.
I'm sorry but did you actually listen to what was being said here? Are you just trolling? Or are you dumb? This kid was diagnosed with SCHIZOPHRENIA! What is it you don't understand about that? If you don't know what it is, ask in the section. Or use Google!
I mean, I know saying "mental illness" feels like an attempt to shift blame or something but.... sometimes people really do have schizophrenic episodes or flare-ups which can be very protracted. And the sorts of delusion that come with it can absolutely make a person dangerous. A lot of his behaviour, quite apart from "vicious and unhidden murder of mother" seems to indicate something awry. That doesn't mean you can't blame someone for what they did even if they truly were hearing voices, or whispers or whatever. Schizophrenia/similar severe mental illness being a contributing factor to murder doesn't mean a person can't be blamed for the crime.
I like that your videos are short and to the point. I don’t always have the time or attention span to sit through an hour video 😂

Hard for him not to smile throughout the interview
At least he is polite.
makes all the difference
Straight to the point. I subbed.
I guess it's satisfying to me that my experience as a Public Defender gave me the schizophrenia idea early on. Glad I stuck with it to hear the word at 14:55+. This is particularly awful for families because it develops after a child has progressed quite a way in life with promise, as here. The delusions are not always murderous, but are debilitating. There are medications, but schizophrenics are notorious for going off the meds when they think they are "better," and relapsing. What a horrible case!
I really like your channel! To you post anywhere else?
No not currently!
Those making comments/jokes about his weight… the side effects of some medications cause a person to gain weight .
Oh how i wished this kid to have mental health evaluation and support early on, bc he showed signs of mental disturbance/ illness very clearly. It seems such a struggle to get genuine, consistant and valid support in such cases, it's so sad.
And Mom + Dad not "pulling at one string" together may have take a part to escalate the situation further. They must have felt so helpless and alone, it's truly heartbreaking.
My deepest sympathy to his little sister .
Yes, the torch-and-pitchfork crew was out for Austin Harrouff, too. I suppose most can't comprehend the power of schizophrenia unless they experience it from someone up close. He's not evil, he's sick..... but he shouldn't be allowed to live free among the citizens. He belongs - just like Harrouff does - in a facility that can manage his illness. The rage from the mother's sister is misplaced. Acute mental illness is a life sentence for those that suffer from it, and for those that love them.
Yea...no.
I grew up around 6 different schizophrenics, different types. Bipolar, paranoids, it was all the same. I will never be the same. Lol
Wait he was caught with A KNIFE AND THEY SAY NOTHING??!!!
This case WTF
Happy beyond belief that I'm child free!
Me too. We decided not to have kids decades ago and seeing how many have become monsters today is pure vindication of our decision.
I’m ready to go home? 😂😂😂
SO if hes having issues with his mom why not just go to your dads house and stay there.
Because he's mentally ill.
Yeah…he should never be released, he would kill someone else.
They thought it was drugs but it seems he was exhibiting the beginnings of mental illness. My 1st spouse began exhibiting while we were dating but i didn't understand until after marriage and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It can seem like drugs especially if the person is medicating themselves with illegal drugs or alcohol.
I’m surprised in rehab nobody saw that he has schizophrenia
So sad. It sounds like all the signs were there and the family was ready and willing to help but the diagnosis was missed by the people who should've know that schizophrenia at that age is always a possibility.
15:48 I thought it switched cases Damn
He looked like a completely different person
From anti psychotics
Psych meds will do that.😢
Weed and K2 can trigger schizophrenia. So can acid, it happened to a close friend of mine. His mom was schizophrenic which made it more likely to begin with. The drugs just sped up the process.
When they realised his drug tests were negative why for gods sake did this kid not get psychiatric help. So many people failed him and sadly his mother also.
Brandon ate a lot
Yes sir, yes ma’am ❤ Merry Christmas 🎄
"Step down facility." Terrifying to hear that in this case.
Its horrible when mental health gets blamed on drugs, People can be very ignorant, and a young mind is still changeable, People with disabilities don't have a mind that matures until later in life. But the ignorance of people and society shaping those people doom themselves.
as evidenced in this comment section as well
Why do so many of these cases take place in the southern United States?
I think that bathroom was a crime scene way before he did anything 😂
Good video! Made me follow.
So did I miss it? Did he get out or not? Ended much too quickly without any summing up.
The background music is completely unnecessary.
Start your own channel then and go away
@@bethewalt7385I bet you wish this was a musical
wow, he was self-medicating (obviously failing), but nobody saw the underlying issue.
Boy eating good in prison
I don't know what to say about this, obviously, it's horrifying, but I have been smoking mj since 1970. I have not slaughtered any one. This boy was going in this direction with or without smoking pot.
Ain’t no Braxton Strange but there sure is a strange brat
Ready to go home? Yikes
Wonder how dad feels now after undermining his wife/the mom? So senseless. Parents, be on the same page always. Kids are awful! They are feral animals in survival mode and will divide & conquer you.
Absolutely, as for the sister wanting him out 😳 maybe she needs help
You can’t ever let this guy out. The public needs to be protected
not sure its up to this channel, maybe not even Utube..
Sharon was a highly accomplished teacher with an Masters of Education...the degree of violence in this atrocious crime should, imho, demand that Brandon be kept in a locked facility for the remainder of his life...
What does her background have to do with anything? If she was a high school dropout who never worked a day in her life, she should be entitled to the same thing as you're suggesting.
everyone deserves justice no matter their achievement
Honestly this is the dumbest comment I’ve ever read on so many levels.
@@loveforeignaccents accomplishments...
@@grogsmashrock7240 did you figure that out by yourself...??? You must be so proud...??? I'm pleased for you...
The Dad is a idiot. Of course the son would not show up postive in drug rehab because they seaech your stuff when you come in and have ways to blocks drugs from coming in. Also why waste you money on rehab if you are just going to use. But when someone has no sens of remorse they become a dangerous person.
@mindofacriminal first time I've seen your channel and heard about this case. Subbed!! 👍
Good on you you will not regret it i promise,go through and spoil yourself to all the other episodes,all soo good and unique
Can anyone tell me why that guy in the courtroom was shielding Brandon from the camera as he made his speech regarding people inside of other peoples heads? Was that his lawyer? What purpose did that blocking the camera serve? Just curious because I’ve never seen that before.
I hate channels like this that make bullshit tag lines. The investigators were NOT left speechless. And he was not "clearly disconnected from reality", he was sane and clear and was able to give all details without pressure. Stop the click bait bs. You don't need to click bait for people to watch your videos. We're here for the videos, not your tagline, so there's no need in lying on. Just be real and you'll get more subscribers!
Treatment facility is CAKE compared to prison!!!!
She looked at you like you were crazy. Well you are😝😝😝
The house is a mess too...
Oh, well god, a woman is murdered by her son and you note the house was a mess. Thank you for letting us know. PS - he stabbed her in the eye. And the woman is dead. But then, she wasn't a good housekeeper so.... sheesh
its sad to see the sister is so traumatized she STILL thinks he did it because " voices " told him to. look it sucks. but you have to realize you cant pick your brothers, and its ok to blame them for what they 100% did.
I'm sorry but did you actually listen to what was being said here?
Are you just trolling?
Or are you dumb?
This kid was diagnosed with SCHIZOPHRENIA!
What is it you don't understand about that?
If you don't know what it is, ask in the section.
Or use Google!
I mean, I know saying "mental illness" feels like an attempt to shift blame or something but.... sometimes people really do have schizophrenic episodes or flare-ups which can be very protracted. And the sorts of delusion that come with it can absolutely make a person dangerous. A lot of his behaviour, quite apart from "vicious and unhidden murder of mother" seems to indicate something awry.
That doesn't mean you can't blame someone for what they did even if they truly were hearing voices, or whispers or whatever. Schizophrenia/similar severe mental illness being a contributing factor to murder doesn't mean a person can't be blamed for the crime.
Drugs for s not always the answer… obvious to anyone that this kid had serious mental issues.
I want to know what his childhood was like, what he liked, didn’t like, how he acted, behaved, lived, and more!
Why? Schizophrenia happens, it's not based on your childhood.
@ just very curious, nothing more
He also has these flat talking. Maybe hes schizophren or has psychosis.
Are they taking the inmates to Golden Corral?
