Interesting how everyone is more mad at these parents than the wealthy parents of the actual killer of Preston Lord who hightailed their kid to Costa Rica to avoid prosecution. At least these ones are not trying to hide him from the repercussions of his actions. He should definitely go to jail once found guilty. I just find it hard to take the outrage on here seriously when there are parents, white parents, school officials like the coach at ALA actively shielding and hiding killers from the law. The entire community knows who these thugs are. They are repeat offenders who have previously sexually assaulted, beaten, stolen from their community, used drugs and always got away with it. Why aren’t they speaking out?
Absolutely untrue. The only child sent out of the USA was a victim beaten before the death of Preston Lord. These peoples kids are one of the “white rich kids” that are part of the Gilbert goons. Wonder how the media is getting the color of the kids wrong. His step son is a Gilbert goon & named by the FBI & is in the videos beating on Preston.
Oh stop it with just the wealthy ppl , why don't u research across the country in every democratic run city that goes on every day because starting with Obama has emboldened these ppl, as Beijing biden has escalated it all, DEFUND POLICE, catch and release crimmals even for murder, get educated 🤦♂️
actually , if you listen to the end, they did try everything and asked police for help in disciplining him. His mom doesn't even want to bail him out. Admirable principles.
Well the cops have to go by the law they can’t just arrest him for not committing a specific crime with evidence, NOW you want the cops to bend the rules and break the law?
arrest these parents, then blacks birthrate would plummit. its the same as letting a dangerous dog into the dog park. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE and will rightfully be held accountable in court
I’m so confused by some of these comments. When did they put the responsibility of kid rearing on the police?? I’m not in AZ I live in TX, but what do parents do, or what options do they have, when their kid continues getting in trouble and running away from home anytime they dole out consequences? Legally I mean. Because in TX if you are a habitual runner, you will go to juvenile detention where you can’t take the easy way out and run away.
@@Mellie.444Exactly, they asked for help from the police. They are saying the same thing I'm hearing over and over about the Gilbert police allowing the situation with these kids and young adults to get outta hand, it wasn't until a kid was killed that they started taking it seriously because of pressure from the public. They even sent their son to diversion therapy.
30 years working with juvenile offenders, discipline begins in the home. Juvenile laws have changed in the last 8 or so years which does reinforce this kind of behavior.
Increasingly, good parents are unsuccessful in correcting the bad behaviors of their children. Increasingly, our communities are unprepared to offer meaningful assistance. - These concerned parents are not expecting the police to "raise" their son; they are asking for assistance because their appropriate and common punishments have not corrected his behavior. I do not view their comments as an excuse or blame. They have discipled him when he exhibited poor behavior (taking away privileges, etc) but he continued to make poor choices. They are saying that assistance from the police may have helped to change their son's behavior. They are saying the police should not have taken months to notify them of a fight in which their son was involved. - We are a society capable of solving problems when motivated to do so. Unruly, unreachable children doesn't have to be a hopeless, national dilemma. - Isn't it reasonable to stop labelling and blaming concerned, involved parents and provide parents and schools the help they need to effectively discipline and modify unruly, disruptive behavior? Appropriately trained therapists and counselors are the solution. Perhaps there is a role for police involvement in particular situations but enforcing behavior modification techniques upon our youth is not a core job function for them. Similarly, handling mental health crises is not a core function but the police are often the ones called and expected to handle the problem. These issues are at the heart of the discussions about the role of policing in the USA.
Definitely not good parents and Christopher is being held in the death of Preston Lord, & was in the video. Unfortunately, the press doesn’t dare play video showing their son involved in the beating of the white boy.
If you listen to the end, especially after minute 10, you start to have respect for these parents. Mom won't even bail him out bcs he needs to face the consequences of his actions. Now, let's go interview all of those white parents, shall we?
If my child was arrested for murder I would be devastated. Blaming the victims for not coming out sooner. Theses parents behaviour doesn’t seem to be responsible.
It's not the job of the police taking responsibility for the kid. They could have gone to church with the kid every Sunday. They could have actively help him pursue his gifts and talents. They are blaming the police. This step father is soft and is passing the buck. He talks about his step son as if he does not live underneath his own roof. It's not all about discipline - being a parent is about actively getting ahead of issues. They sound very lazy and have a very simple understanding of parenting.
Seriously " it's the polices fault because they did nothing when my son ran away from home". Like dude that's an 18 year old in your own damn house. What are they supposed to do?
The stepdad should have kept his mouth shut. He felt since he was well spoken that he would make a more intelligent statement than the mom. They are definitely going to use that against him in court. Great job dad!!
9:02 “…an animalistic behavior…” Well said, mom… as far as step-dad goes - he has no respect from his step-son and probably never will as he doesn’t hold him accountable for his actions… and he’s expecting the Gilbert police to do so… what a goon!
I feel the parents frustration, Gilbert police do fail to do their job. I know this from personal experience, as I worked in Gilbert and had to call the cops to have people removed for refusing to leave my employer place of business and they would not enforce anything. Once we told the Gilbert police a person threatened other employees and the cops walked him back into the building. The step dads right they can only do so much. I have no respect for Gilbert police because of my dealings with them at work calling them and them not enforcing state laws.
@cinluvsart what the hell should the police do? Arrest every young black kid that runs away from home? Parent your own damn kids. It's not the county's job to punish your kids.
@@HH-el8vpwell according to the news, these are all white rich kids who have affluent parents. These can’t be the right people from what the news media keeps putting out.

Corruption abounds, and sanctimonious hypocrisy reigns supreme in the "church" families there, you know who they are.

Sounds like the parents want the child to be held accountable. A kid is at school 8 hours or more a day. You can’t control their actions. You can guide them but ultimately THEY will have to deal with whatever consequences that follow behind those actions.
@@nickpeacock1896 Exactly. A lot of ignorant, pop off at the mouth-type people posting BS comments with no experience in these situations. It's sickening to see such ignorance and naivety here....smgdfh
I don't think they are expecting the police to raise their child. I believe they have done lots of interventions to try and help him from what I heard them say. I understand their frustration with the police not making him accountable for his actions in public. Sounds like they were making him accountable at home. They can only do so much but if law enforcement agencies slap him on the wrist I think he feels with the law enforcement there are no consequences.
This reminds me of a case from another country. If CF is not part of goon, he was used as a hunting dog. Used by goons to hunt victim and open the attach. Goons then help him to hire a law firm. He was used as a scape goat as plea bargain for goons to escape jail time. Finally his 'friends' sent someone to get rid of him while in prison as a sacrificial lamb. Then life goes on for his 'friends' as if nothing happened.
Everyone is at fault but the parents. Unbelievable. Probably on the front line of defund the police ignorance. The police aren’t parents. Discipline needed to start long ago.
It’s frustrating when incidents happen and the parents are kept out of the loop. If the communication was better, then the parents can timely address the issue which is more effective. I had an issue with my sons school when he was growing up and they didn’t communicate any information, then one day I got a letter that they were kicking him out. I went to that meeting and was flabbergasted they had been hiding stuff in his file and openly lying to me about it during teacher conferences , etc. in fact, I was in constant contact with the school!! The reality of it is, schools hate communicating with parents and they don’t want to bothered. You would think they would find another profession, but they don’t. They sweep problems under the rug and don’t care. I see his point. After my kid turned 18, then he experienced consequences when finally out of school. A lot of schools are jokes.
I’m am confuse on the matter that both parents are casually speaking as if their son is not involved in a murder case, and how the step dad keeps blaming the authorities. I think they gave up on the kid long time ago. The way their speaking and body language shows a lot.
Is he involved in a murder case? My understanding is that there has been a lot of teen violence in the area that the police have ignored. Now that Preston's death has brought media attention they are finally doing their job and looking back at older cases
People are so judgmental that most don't listen to everything that's being spoken before they've already made a decision as to how they will view a person. I did not hear a stepfather who wanted the police to raise his child. I heard a stepfather explain the failure of law enforcement to enforce repercussions for bad behaviors before the escalation of a loss of life.
Making excuses for her son & his step son when he is absolutely on many videos with the goons of Gilbert, and yet claim he’s not. Making excuses the cops “sweeping it under the rug”, when it’s one of their kids threatening them to not go to the cops. That’s all I hear is the man making excuses. Yes, I know where my 16 year old is every day, when she’s not in school, she’s with us, when she’s at an event, we’re also there. Claiming the cops aren’t doing anything when it took from May to January and the parents didn’t allow the kids to go to the cops. This could’ve been taken care of if the community came together & made it mandatory that the parents know where their children are. Using the race card is classic when these goons are all races and all classes.
The police do not impose punishments on charges , the stepfather has not a clue that the Maricopa county attorneys office imposes and sets punishment for juveniles, not the police. A “runway” charge is known as an “incorrigible” juvenile and gets no punishment for the juveniles, it is one of the lowest charges known on the books. For these parents to think take my child away and lock him up to make a “point” is punishment is absurd. To believe moving your kid from south Phoenix to avoid behavior issues is also absurd. Karma has certainly reared its ugly head on this family. Really sad.
“The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn. They don’t remember what you try and teach them. They remember who you are.” Man does this quote incredibly powerful after listening to this garbage interview.
God willing......you never have to be in this situation. Sometimes kids fall through the cracks, regardless of what upbringing they have. Obviously, you don't have any first hand experience with it.
Funny how it's always someone else's fault when you can't get your life in order. Considering his son is facing a murder charge, this guy is a wee bit to Happy. I have not once heard this man say he is sorry for what his son did. Oh wait that's right, the blame is on everyone else but this idiot
OMG, next time please send someone out into the field to do a story who has interview skills. Ms. Torres can read copy well enough in the studio, it seems, and can sometimes do short recorded spots okay, but wow, not so good on the fly. Just sayin’.
If you run away as a child under 18 most states have a PINS system… person in need of supervision… they then go to Juvie. But if there’s nothing in place in AZ… then I see how this is possible…
Actually, in the State of AZ it is not a crime for a minor to run away. However, it is considered a "Status Offense". It is against federal law to detain a minor for a status offense.
The reason there were NO arrests for so long is because these thugs work for the Gilbert Police department. It's a psyop and you've been played. Jew Michael Soelberg was installed to advance the police state.
I appreciate the father's honesty. I appreciate him trying so hard to raise his hard headed son. Parents need to have the authority do what is necessary to raise their children. Period. You run away, you stay away. I pay the mortgage here, I pay for the food, if you can't follow the rules you can leave, and you will stay gone. Once you decide to jump on someone you can find someone to represent you in court.
You should take ACCOUNTABILITY as parents. PLAYING THE VICTIM CARD. Look at their HOODIES….Chasing the Paper…that should tell you everything you need to know about these so called parents.
It's true that these are the results of a broken system of authority and balanced enforcement throughout our nation. "Time out" doesn't work and "zero tolerance school policies" are an epic failure. I thought it was refreshing to see parents addressing the brokenness of our law enforcement systems, without dismissing the value of accountability.
@@dudemorris7769 They spoke about incidents that happened in school. Not just about him running away. Like I said, sometimes people don't listen because they've already decided how they want to view people.
So parents don’t take accountability and blame the cops. Then they wonder why their son takes no accountability? It’s NOT Gilbert police’s responsibility to raise YOUR SON! 🙄 Unreal! The tax dollars don’t pay for police to raise YOUR KIDS! Everything is ALWAYS the cops fault right? 🙄
And how do you know they never took responsibility?????? Geezuz....Hopefully you never have to be in this situation. You obviously are speaking from a point where you have no personal insight or experience with.
I believe they referred to a broken system, not so much the cops in particular. Although, it’s clean Gilbert pd wasn’t in fact doing more about teen on teen violence
I’m glad he’s talking about taking away his phone take away the damn room take away the damn door you have kids who don’t do these kinds of things and you can only ask. Why is it because the parents intervened or the police no, the parents these people need to start taking responsibility.
Maybe he needs better mental healthcare, which is also non existent because none of these systems and high paid officials are keeping up with actual social issues. It falls on police and even medical professionals to handle but it’s not their primary function to rehabilitate troubled teens.
Don’t blame the cops, they can’t arrest the kid for running away and not committing an actual crime, so NOW you want the cops to bend the rules? NOW you want them to break the law? Only when it’s convenient for YOU, if they would’ve arrested the kid there would be outrage.
I think it’s rude to call people stupid for expecting parents to be responsible for their children? 6 children is too many unless you are extremely wealthy and have a lot of help. So it’s not surprising to me that she has one with problems. Few people can take care of and afford 6 children. Now you want the police to raise your child? You want the police or you don’t want the police? The police are afraid to touch children.
My heart goes out to these parents. Our Web-based world takes away parental supervision by allowing kids to be influenced by unknown and unseen individuals who want to destroy the fabric of our society.
@@specialagentorange4329believing that an internet filter can’t be easily manipulated by someone with minimal knowledge of tech, but especially the “digitally native” generation (gen z) is ignorance on your part.
@@Mellie.444 it's called a "deterrent ". Once they get passed that you find another way to stop them. It's called "parenting". When they rebel, you fight back. You don't give in. God, I hope you're not a parent.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you bail him out, you’re enabling him. If you don’t, you’re a neglectful parent. If you try to discipline with force, CPS would show up. Parents can only take away phones and TV time, whoa. Meanwhile, my step dad would physically discipline us, with a cutting board, proudly hung on the wall, as a reminder. Guess what, it worked. In today world, the teacher sees a mark and the child is the victim for their actions and the parents are the responsible parties.
Maybe these kids should’ve been prosecuted earlier. But it’s the parent’s responsibility to raise the kid. You can’t put this on the police. Go to counseling. Seek help if you don’t know what to with your troubled child.
The parents seem sensible and it seems like they tried. Prisons are full of bad apples and some just refuse to conform. This is an incredibly unfortunate incident for everyone involved.
These 2 are slimy dogs. Look at the T-shirts. The "Gilbert Goons" are hired by the Gilbert police. Michael Soelberg is Chief traitor. This is all about the Police State

No mam it’s Not Normal or just being kids to beat a boy to death!! You didn’t raise your kid right. You certainly don’t seem to care about the poor mother who lost her son. Kinda disgusting
The comments! Lol 😆 Such a tunnel vision world. Americans actually look forward in seeing the next person fail. There's plenty of criticism to spread, but never any detailed SOLUTIONS. Lol.
Parents do need to hold their children accountable. But it is true that the GPD let SO much go for YEARS. Report after report was made. They did NOTHING. GPD is acting now because of public pressure. At least these parents are willing to talk about it. At least these parents aren't hiding their kids (Like some of the others), and allowing him to stay in jail. I give them credit.
What a waste of a good interview as well send a better interview or next time. Also if you want to be in journalism young lady, be able to ask hard questions and not get intimidated wasted all damn time.
It's not the police or governments job to raise someone's child. That's the parents job. If they break the law, then yes, there should be consequences.
I like how they throw their kid under the bus. Pray in the God that the police don't take them to jail. For things that he did, it does not matter. It's a black family. You kind of people wake up guilty of doing something wrong everyday
For all you stupid people who are blaming the parents really need to shut up. I learned a long time every child is different. These kids learn that if their parents spank them they can call the police. The government is tying the parents hand when it comes to discipline. Parents can't do what was done back in the day because they would end up in jail or lose all of their kids. When I was growing up if you misbehave at school, the teacher would spank you with a board. They didn't call the parents and ask for permission nor did they tell them they got a paddling. My niece has 6 kids who don't have any problems with 5 but there's one ALWAYS in trouble. The government ties the parents hands because the kids learn there's no consequences. The minute the child does something serious they charge them as if they are adults. I just watched the news not long ago a 13 year old child was robbing and carjacking people and he shot one of them. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. He has to serve all of it before he is considered for parole. That person he shot didn't die but this child has to grow up in prison. He can't even be considered for parole until he's 43 years old.Nobody knows what their kids are doing when you are not in their presence. You can't put anything past any child. Peer pressure is very real. One of the hardest things my son deals with is caring so much what people think or say about him. I didn't want any kids because this world today is horrible it's almost impossible to keep some kids on the right path. You can't spank them because you are going to jail. This is why a lot of parents end up in jail or prison because they lose it and go overboard with discipline a challenging child. If you have a good child get on your knees and tell God thank you. He blessed you with a smart, polite child because there's some parents and at the edge because they have tried everything. So instead of blaming the parents, see if you can do something to help because it takes a village to raise them. You can change that child's life and do the world a favor because he is no longer breaking into homes or cars or God forbid robbing and murdering you or someone you love.
@@TiffineShah-ci8rk facts I remember I was a teenager I wasn’t as bad as this kids now but like you said I still was doing sneaky things and I didn’t come from a abusive home I had a good childhood I just wanted to be grown. So people need to stop always blaming the Parents because it’s not they fault now you do have some parents that don’t cared but I can tell these parents cared about their son but they are tired.
Nooooo surprise at all why this kid is the way he is. I'm so disgusted with these parents. There's no shock or disgust with the kid possibly being an accomplice to murder. They act like it was a robbery or simple assault . I'm flabbergasted!!!
🇺🇸the insight displayed by this Parent, recognizing different factions of Youths, a different group, household rappor and yet laws have been re-made if a Parent wants to discipline their own child, it's Charges for them!!!!!!! It's "0well kiddo I hope ya make through all this, if not, I'll bring ya Commissary money, son"🇺🇸
I hear these parents and I was in their footsteps. I have reported all of my own kid's actions to as many as a million departments of law enforcements and to No avail, nothing! I feel these two parents.
The father is sick of his son’s bs, very well spoken. He tried everything now it’s the government’s responsibility!! FREAKING WOW

The reality of it is, schools hate communicating with parents and they don’t want to bothered. You would think they would find another profession, but they don’t. They sweep problems under the rug and don’t care. I see his point.
After my kid turned 18, then he experienced consequences when finally out of school. A lot of schools are jokes.
He is talking about putting a belt to his butt and he can’t because that’s abuse but now his son is locked up 😂
There needs to something besides police to help parents with out of control kids. Something like a boarding school or military school.
How dare the police not raise your child !?!

The most honest parents I have seen out of the group
I’m am confuse on the matter that both parents are casually speaking as if their son is not involved in a murder case, and how the step dad keeps blaming the authorities. I think they gave up on the kid long time ago. The way their speaking and body language shows a lot.
Is he involved in a murder case? My understanding is that there has been a lot of teen violence in the area that the police have ignored. Now that Preston's death has brought media attention they are finally doing their job and looking back at older cases
How’s there tops “paper chasers”, in the worst crappy font ever.
Where can I get some of this sweet merch lol😂
I feel like you as parents needed to intervene
People are so judgmental that most don't listen to everything that's being spoken before they've already made a decision as to how they will view a person. I did not hear a stepfather who wanted the police to raise his child. I heard a stepfather explain the failure of law enforcement to enforce repercussions for bad behaviors before the escalation of a loss of life.
The cops can’t do anything about him running away!!
@@dudemorris7769This case is old and was reopened AFTER the Preston Lord murder hit the media. Police need to be held accountable as well.
Making excuses for her son & his step son when he is absolutely on many videos with the goons of Gilbert, and yet claim he’s not. Making excuses the cops “sweeping it under the rug”, when it’s one of their kids threatening them to not go to the cops. That’s all I hear is the man making excuses. Yes, I know where my 16 year old is every day, when she’s not in school, she’s with us, when she’s at an event, we’re also there. Claiming the cops aren’t doing anything when it took from May to January and the parents didn’t allow the kids to go to the cops. This could’ve been taken care of if the community came together & made it mandatory that the parents know where their children are. Using the race card is classic when these goons are all races and all classes.
The police do not impose punishments on charges , the stepfather has not a clue that the Maricopa county attorneys office imposes and sets punishment for juveniles, not the police. A “runway” charge is known as an “incorrigible” juvenile and gets no punishment for the juveniles, it is one of the lowest charges known on the books. For these parents to think take my child away and lock him up to make a “point” is punishment is absurd. To believe moving your kid from south Phoenix to avoid behavior issues is also absurd. Karma has certainly reared its ugly head on this family. Really sad.
Step dad. Of course.

“The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn. They don’t remember what you try and teach them. They remember who you are.”
Man does this quote incredibly powerful after listening to this garbage interview.
God willing......you never have to be in this situation. Sometimes kids fall through the cracks, regardless of what upbringing they have. Obviously, you don't have any first hand experience with it.
You seem pretty judgmental about a kid you know nothing about.
Punishment starts at home, discipline reinforced with love.
Funny how it's always someone else's fault when you can't get your life in order. Considering his son is facing a murder charge, this guy is a wee bit to Happy. I have not once heard this man say he is sorry for what his son did. Oh wait that's right, the blame is on everyone else but this idiot
Teaching right and wrong starts at home.
OMG, next time please send someone out into the field to do a story who has interview skills. Ms. Torres can read copy well enough in the studio, it seems, and can sometimes do short recorded spots okay, but wow, not so good on the fly. Just sayin’.
If you run away as a child under 18 most states have a PINS system… person in need of supervision… they then go to Juvie. But if there’s nothing in place in AZ… then I see how this is possible…
Actually, in the State of AZ it is not a crime for a minor to run away. However, it is considered a "Status Offense". It is against federal law to detain a minor for a status offense.
Running away from home isn't a criminal act.
Gilbert people are no better than other people. People are people! And Gilbert is being exposed now it just took awhile
The reason there were NO arrests for so long is because these thugs work for the Gilbert Police department.
It's a psyop and you've been played.
Jew Michael Soelberg was installed to advance the police state.
I appreciate the father's honesty. I appreciate him trying so hard to raise his hard headed son. Parents need to have the authority do what is necessary to raise their children. Period. You run away, you stay away. I pay the mortgage here, I pay for the food, if you can't follow the rules you can leave, and you will stay gone. Once you decide to jump on someone you can find someone to represent you in court.
You should take ACCOUNTABILITY as parents.
PLAYING THE VICTIM CARD.
Look at their HOODIES….Chasing the Paper…that should tell you everything you need to know about these so called parents.
Other than blaming the police, I feel that the parents are at least not shoveling what he did under the rug.
It's true that these are the results of a broken system of authority and balanced enforcement throughout our nation. "Time out" doesn't work and "zero tolerance school policies" are an epic failure. I thought it was refreshing to see parents addressing the brokenness of our law enforcement systems, without dismissing the value of accountability.
They blamed the system the entire time. The cops can’t do anything about a kid running away other than bring them home.
I agree with you. The kids should have been charged before. The family needs to sue the courts.
@@dudemorris7769 They spoke about incidents that happened in school. Not just about him running away. Like I said, sometimes people don't listen because they've already decided how they want to view people.
So parents don’t take accountability and blame the cops. Then they wonder why their son takes no accountability?
It’s NOT Gilbert police’s responsibility to raise YOUR SON! 🙄
Unreal! The tax dollars don’t pay for police to raise YOUR KIDS!
Everything is ALWAYS the cops fault right? 🙄
And how do you know they never took responsibility?????? Geezuz....Hopefully you never have to be in this situation. You obviously are speaking from a point where you have no personal insight or experience with.
I believe they referred to a broken system, not so much the cops in particular. Although, it’s clean Gilbert pd wasn’t in fact doing more about teen on teen violence
Is this the same Gilbert Preston Lord was found dead in by those rich thugs and then the parents tried to cover it up 🤔
The things he's blaming on the cops and the school is his and his wife's fault
I’m glad he’s talking about taking away his phone take away the damn room take away the damn door you have kids who don’t do these kinds of things and you can only ask. Why is it because the parents intervened or the police no, the parents these people need to start taking responsibility.
Maybe he needs better mental healthcare, which is also non existent because none of these systems and high paid officials are keeping up with actual social issues. It falls on police and even medical professionals to handle but it’s not their primary function to rehabilitate troubled teens.
It’s up to you to raise him, not the police.
Gilbert Police is full of goons..
Don’t blame the cops, they can’t arrest the kid for running away and not committing an actual crime, so NOW you want the cops to bend the rules? NOW you want them to break the law? Only when it’s convenient for YOU, if they would’ve arrested the kid there would be outrage.
I think it’s rude to call people stupid for expecting parents to be responsible for their children? 6 children is too many unless you are extremely wealthy and have a lot of help.
So it’s not surprising to me that she has one with problems. Few people can take care of and afford 6 children.
Now you want the police to raise your child? You want the police or you don’t want the police? The police are afraid to touch children.
My heart goes out to these parents. Our Web-based world takes away parental supervision by allowing kids to be influenced by unknown and unseen individuals who want to destroy the fabric of our society.

More accountable for youth in general?
Kids brains need to be raised in supportive loving environments. Not ‘left to the wolves’
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you bail him out, you’re enabling him. If you don’t, you’re a neglectful parent. If you try to discipline with force, CPS would show up. Parents can only take away phones and TV time, whoa. Meanwhile, my step dad would physically discipline us, with a cutting board, proudly hung on the wall, as a reminder. Guess what, it worked. In today world, the teacher sees a mark and the child is the victim for their actions and the parents are the responsible parties.
Maybe these kids should’ve been prosecuted earlier. But it’s the parent’s responsibility to raise the kid. You can’t put this on the police. Go to counseling. Seek help if you don’t know what to with your troubled child.
The parents seem sensible and it seems like they tried. Prisons are full of bad apples and some just refuse to conform. This is an incredibly unfortunate incident for everyone involved.
These 2 are slimy dogs. Look at the T-shirts.

put the accountability on everyone but themselves. sad as hell. This is a kid that was not disciplined as a child.
So, if a black kid is arrested the police are "picking on them" and if they don't arrest them the police are at fault for their bad behavior?
GOH
Where in hell does it reference that in the interview???? Smgdfh..
I call BS……parents fault not the police
No mam it’s Not Normal or just being kids to beat a boy to death!! You didn’t raise your kid right. You certainly don’t seem to care about the poor mother who lost her son. Kinda disgusting
Is he in any of the videos? Did his friends point a finger at him? It seems mom and dad have 2 different stories.
The comments! Lol 😆 Such a tunnel vision world. Americans actually look forward in seeing the next person fail. There's plenty of criticism to spread, but never any detailed SOLUTIONS. Lol.
Some kids are hard to parent
Parents do need to hold their children accountable. But it is true that the GPD let SO much go for YEARS. Report after report was made. They did NOTHING. GPD is acting now because of public pressure. At least these parents are willing to talk about it. At least these parents aren't hiding their kids (Like some of the others), and allowing him to stay in jail. I give them credit.
Interviewer inarticulate, needs schooling
What a waste of a good interview as well send a better interview or next time. Also if you want to be in journalism young lady, be able to ask hard questions and not get intimidated wasted all damn time.
It's not the police or governments job to raise someone's child. That's the parents job. If they break the law, then yes, there should be consequences.
This was "acting" .
Yes…they will find you with that last name….
I like how they throw their kid under the bus. Pray in the God that the police don't take them to jail. For things that he did, it does not matter. It's a black family. You kind of people wake up guilty of doing something wrong everyday
Lol, wrong.
His his dad in his life.
Probably not!
For all you stupid people who are blaming the parents really need to shut up. I learned a long time every child is different. These kids learn that if their parents spank them they can call the police. The government is tying the parents hand when it comes to discipline. Parents can't do what was done back in the day because they would end up in jail or lose all of their kids. When I was growing up if you misbehave at school, the teacher would spank you with a board. They didn't call the parents and ask for permission nor did they tell them they got a paddling. My niece has 6 kids who don't have any problems with 5 but there's one ALWAYS in trouble. The government ties the parents hands because the kids learn there's no consequences. The minute the child does something serious they charge them as if they are adults. I just watched the news not long ago a 13 year old child was robbing and carjacking people and he shot one of them. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. He has to serve all of it before he is considered for parole. That person he shot didn't die but this child has to grow up in prison. He can't even be considered for parole until he's 43 years old.Nobody knows what their kids are doing when you are not in their presence. You can't put anything past any child. Peer pressure is very real. One of the hardest things my son deals with is caring so much what people think or say about him. I didn't want any kids because this world today is horrible it's almost impossible to keep some kids on the right path. You can't spank them because you are going to jail. This is why a lot of parents end up in jail or prison because they lose it and go overboard with discipline a challenging child. If you have a good child get on your knees and tell God thank you. He blessed you with a smart, polite child because there's some parents and at the edge because they have tried everything. So instead of blaming the parents, see if you can do something to help because it takes a village to raise them. You can change that child's life and do the world a favor because he is no longer breaking into homes or cars or God forbid robbing and murdering you or someone you love.
@@TiffineShah-ci8rk facts I remember I was a teenager I wasn’t as bad as this kids now but like you said I still was doing sneaky things and I didn’t come from a abusive home I had a good childhood I just wanted to be grown. So people need to stop always blaming the Parents because it’s not they fault now you do have some parents that don’t cared but I can tell these parents cared about their son but they are tired.
Nooooo surprise at all why this kid is the way he is. I'm so disgusted with these parents. There's no shock or disgust with the kid possibly being an accomplice to murder. They act like it was a robbery or simple assault . I'm flabbergasted!!!
Of course blame the police !!
There not the parents
Now it's the police's job to parent your child?
It’s not the police’s job to raise your kids!!!
A GED? Someone ain’t doing their jobs.
Where is bio dad? Maybe that’s why kid is mad.
God bless you . Good people, Good parents , stay strong
L COUPLE
Bahahaha what a joke this guy is. You’re the parent, not the cops. Don’t get involved with parenting since you are clearly incapable.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🇺🇸the insight displayed by this Parent, recognizing different factions of Youths, a different group, household rappor and yet laws have been re-made if a Parent wants to discipline their own child, it's Charges for them!!!!!!! It's "0well kiddo I hope ya make through all this, if not, I'll bring ya Commissary money, son"🇺🇸
How did he become troubled tho? You act like as parents you're helpless and can't intervene pftt
I hear these parents and I was in their footsteps. I have reported all of my own kid's actions to as many as a million departments of law enforcements and to No avail, nothing! I feel these two parents.
For the Black parents blaming the police!. Since when are police in charge of your children!? Thats not their responsibility!!
