Hi Everyone, Apologies about the comments being turned off, we've turned them back on three times now and aren't sure why they keep going off but we'll try and work out what's happening! TC 🖤
Sometimes when the story involves a child, YT will disable comments. POSSIBLE SPOILER BELOW: And seeing that I've just reached that part -- yikes! -- in the video, it might be why.
Not that he went back for the pet - thankfully, and also the brother, but the fact that he found - in his story - his mother and the room on fire, yet he left her there to go and get help, then came back and couldn't reach her. If it was true and you were right there, you'd take her with you when you left the first time.
Yes, that's very true, I was thinking that myself. Thank you for putting it so perfectly. Some stories are so interesting, but because of the voice and dilevery, I just move on, looking for something else, like this program.
He will have to carry the stigma of psycho brother and mental family problem through life. Hope this won't affect his life too much and will have lowest impact on it. Poor boy
How comforting can it be that he won’t be released unless he’s no longer deemed a threat ? He was deemed to not be a threat just 6 weeks before he killed his mother?
The mind of an adolescent. I’m 40 and I don’t remember shit about being that age. What I do remember is cloudy. Mental illness was probably at work here, but I also blame the adults for allowing him to hide away and consume the filth that isn’t meant for children. The mind of an adolescent is a fragile thing.
These ‘professional reports’ are a problem in law too. Some so-called expert meets a person for an hour or two then writes a report which is then tendered as evidence in court. It’s often little more than personal opinion and usually lacks a great deal of context. I hope this psychopath doesn’t ever get released.
There are sadly very strict laws that make it very difficult to intervene unless the danger the person poses is seen to be clear and immediate by suitably qualified professionals.
The thing about this whole tragic tale that makes me really angry is the so called ‘professionals’ who found there was nothing wrong with him and that he wasn’t a danger to himself or others. I mean WTAF? Surely that’s professional negligence.
Psychology is an inexact science, there are no experts in that field. There are many cases of criminals manipulating psychologists, and of a psychologist having a completely different diagnosis about the mental health of suspects in a trial.
CAMHS have a difficult job and they try to avoid "labelling" . The mental health services for children and young people needs a complete overhaul. Too many children are lost in the system. Too many children take their own lives or harm others before the help reaches them. However with this case I don't believe the blame lies solely with CAMHS but will the level of manipulation and psychopathy this child was capable of but due to his age could not be diagnosed. I've seen children his age insist they are ok or have got better and do what they have to do to either not need to be seen after the initial assessment or manage to get discharged before they should and go on to decline, i think its also partly to do with getting children discharged so the next on the waiting list can be seen. This needs to change, I have heard that children feel like they are being rushed through and not being heard. Another reason a complete overhaul of MHS is needed.
Sentenced to only 16 years? For killing his mother! And then insult upon injury, the letter stating his sentence will be reviewed? Further proof that women are not protected or valued in the criminal justice system.
How anyone can believe the justice system is in favour of men is beyond belief. There are countless examples of female criminals receiving lighter sentences.

@@beaulieuc8910 Yeah, it’s like people act like it’s a fkn gift to be brought into this world so full of suffering, adversity, and chaos. I love my Mom more than anyone or anything, but if I could have been asked, I would not have consented to life.
@@iamcasihartActually, despite your unbelief, we all chose to be born. We lived before coming to Earth and we'll live again after we die. I'm obviously casting pearls before swine here, but maybe someone who actually wants to know the truth will see this.
What a tragic and horrifying case! But, as always, you deal with it with intelligence and without any mawkish over-sentimentality, yet still with the utmost respect for those directly involved. Yet again, well done!
Mothers are egoistic and think that it casts bad light on them if they let their kids live with the father. Most problems in this world come from broken families. Women initiate 75% of divorces…
@@tarkmees I disagree, I let my son 12 years old live with his father when we divorced, needless to say he blamed me for the divorce and hated me. He’s now in prison for 2 years and still has mommy issues. I raised my daughter and she’s a well rounded adult. Children need both their mother and father!
@@tracyshaffer4510 if you broke the family and left then maybe the boy has a right to blame you... after having a kid it is not about your happiness anymore. if you had not left the family maybe the kid would not be in prison... is your current happiness worth more than your kid being in prison?
Sometimes it’s not about personal happiness but safety. I live for my son and will do anything to protect him. My sons father is abusive and we do not have any contact with him. I think children raised with an abusive man also creates monsters. Mothers do the best they can but all humans are flawed and not all situations are ideal
Some people are pure evil regardless of their age. The justice system shouldn't apply normal parameters to this case while determining whether Daniel is re-habitable. He displayed an alarming amount of apathy and deception. The psycho-therapist who assessed Daniel not to be a threat to himself or others is extremely disturbing.
It is never the children's fault. Never. Everybody in his life let him down, including literal professionals. He's not pure evil, he's broken. Also def his mom's fault for letting him cook in those horror movies.
And that therapist is still employed because...? Oh right it makes NO difference SO if we CAN'T get life in a mental hospital for criminally insane, just let him go anywhere? I bet this guy gets paroled eventually. That means he's gonna be able to repeat it.
This case hit really close to home, because my brother acts very similar to this kid. He grew up consuming disgusting content, was physically violent, drew murder scenes, and more. My mom lived in denial though and refused to see him as anything but her favorite son. He would direct his rage towards me and my brother, which resulted in several times being in the emergency room due to beatings. Now that I’m 25 and married, I’ve moved across the country, changed my number, and made sure that NO one under any circumstances gave him any of our information. Honestly, I sit back and wonder if he’s ever going to do something like this, and it’s horrifying to realize. He’s hasn’t been far off from it, and there’s nothing that we’ve been able to do to prevent it when growing up. My thoughts are with the youngest son, and I hope that he is given space to heal and recover from this trauma.
Good on you, as long as you have no contact with him or dont post anything n social media you are safe. However, I know a story of some angry guy who killed his parents and hunted down his sister who lived at the other end of the country, the following day to finish her off because she was the nice one.
The thought of him getting out in a few years is terrifying. I don’t know what the prison system is like there but if it’s anything like the prisons here in the USA he’ll most likely leave prison a lot worse off mentally & with a much better understanding of how to get away with murder next time.
Prisons in the UK are nothing like in the USA. You can get paid for doing ‘work’ around the prison. There’s always education and you can redo exams and further education. You can get most things bought in (with obvious exceptions) from what is see about American prisons 😳yeah the UK is pretty light.
@@SarahLBanks There’s zero rehabilitation in our prisons here & if you are lucky enough to make out alive you’re probably leaving with PTSD. There’s a lot of non violent offenders in our prisons who truly do deserve a second chance but sadly it’s going to be very difficult if at all possible to get hired anywhere here with a felony/felonies. This is why our recidivism rate is so high. We desperately need prison reform here.
@@SarahLBanks Prisoners in the US have the option to study and get their degrees while in prison. For example, Murderers like the twins who murdered their mother, graduated with honors while in prison (check TCD). Some lifers have graduated with degrees and those who will be released so they will have jobs when they reenter society. Some have work training rescue dogs to be service dogs for people in need outside. I'm not American but even I know that as I have watched videos of prisoners and what they have been doing inside prison. Some even have barbers as jobs inside LOL.
@@sonny5196Being a victim doesn't automatically mean you're innocent. Leave your keys in your car overnight and watch your insurance company refuse to cover the loss.
All I can say is I hope these so called professionals that said he was ok and no danger to anyone found a different career!! Hope they were found accountable.
We don't know what he said to them though. He wasn't mentally ill and may have presented himself as normal so he could go home and be left alone to consume his violent media without further appointments. He could have said his mum was lying or exaggerating his behaviour. Children also can't be diagnosed with personality disorders, which is what he probably has.
You are such a brilliant story teller. Thank you for reporting on the evil in this world. Is there ever accountability for people like Dr's who said there is no problem.
First mistake, not buying a house because your 14 year old son 'doesn't like it' - that's just too bad, they should have put him in his place then and there.
yes. children need to learn their place. They do not get rule the roost. His mother didint enforce rules or anything and show him that she was boss and not him. And the result ended badly
Tbf when we were moving after my mum passed away my dad did ask for my opinions on the houses we looked at and the one that he chose (that I didn't like) turned out to have a very bad energy and horrible neighbors, my dad trusted my judgement after that lol. So much so that he asked me to help chose between 2 cars that he was interested in.
It's not okay to let a child alone in his room for months or even years watching extremely violent horror movies.That must have had an impact on his behaviour. His parents should have said no from the beginning.
Exactly. A child’s mind is like play-Doh. They are extremely impressionable and if not protected by the adults in their lives they have the potential to become monsters. The doctor says he wasn’t neglected, but this kid was allowed to sit in his room in isolation watching violence and filth without intervention. That’s neglect.
I don’t think it’s even been proven that watching violent films or playing violent video games leads to murder. More likely he enjoyed the violence because he has some kind of psychological defect. But I agree it’s not healthy for kids to be shut in their rooms constantly.
Doesn't sound like his mother was good at saying no, reasoning with him or disciplining him either (not doing chores and such). Sounds like he was left to his own devices too much to the detriment of those around him.
His mother was afraid of him , she couldn't do anything other than love him , so your blaming her for all this are you??? So she deserved to be killed like that did she ??? She was a loving mother, no matter what she did she couldn't stop her son , even if she did say no he would have done it anyway!
@@intotheunknown1991 She did not deserve this. She was kind and she loved him but she should have tried something. Doing nothing is wrong too. Maybe they tried idk. The way it was explained in the video they left him alone in that room and that's wrong.
That young man is going to be full fledge physco with a degree in criminology when he gets out. The step dad better buy a gun. Once again ladies love your work.
This is horrible, he will be treated exactly like he treated his mom in jail and when he's out, no worries; his dumb arse will not repeat the bullshyt. Smdh 😏
The biggest victim is the little brother, he lost his mother and his brother. I hope he is okay and is living a happy life despite all the horror he’s been thru.
No the biggest victim was Daniel who was left alone for hours and days at a time! A mom who was to busy and self absorbed to actually be in this kids life training him, being with him!
Captivating video as always! Side note- I often hear, divorce of parents being portrayed as minimal trauma but i feel it's more soul destroying for children than is realised.
I have a friend who is in her 60s, whose parents divorced when she was 16 and she has never gotten over it. It has led to many issues for her. The difference is that she has not killed her parents, or anyone else. Yes, it is traumatic, but most kids going through this don't plan and plot to murder their family members even if they have long term mental health issues.
This is yet again another example of how thorough your information is. I thought that I already knew about this story but you know far more. I’m so glad that your channel popped up.
First thing, is Never act scared of you child, even if you are. Always stand your ground. Let them know you love them but will not tolerate having hands being put on you. Period!
Nottingham is literally on my doorstep, thanks for sharing this story. You are really great at narrating, you are such good story teller. Definitely one of the best on you tube. Well done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Sad that not once in this story do we hear a peep about Daniel's father. That says a lot, and makes one think twice about his upbringing. A child should not be permitted by his Mum, devoted or not, to spend all of his waking hours alone in his room.
It asks a lot more than it says, actually. Mothers are usually favored for custody, but moreover, what made her think that taking up with another guy while her sons were still under her would be a smart idea? Why couldn't she send them to their father in the interim? It might not have made a difference, but who knows?
This is a perfect example of the damage that single m0thers do to children. She divorced his father ripped him away from his happy life with no thought about anyone but herself. An extreme example of what their narcissism does to children.
What about the younger brother? 🤔 Those psychologists must have gotten their degree from a cereal box. Have him live with them, and see if they make the same diagnosis. Never let him out. Psychopath for sure
Based on all the other true crime vids about the UK that I've seen, towards the end of the video I was predicting to hear a sentence of "life" with a relatively short "minimum term". A minimum term of 16 years though?!?! What an absolute joke. Thank you for doing these amazing videos! Love the channel
Minimum term doesn't really mean much if there's no change with the prisoner. My half brother's minimum term was 13 years, he's coming up on 19 years now.
If this guy gets released, innocent people will pay 😢 how can they never learn that this kind of criminals will always and forever continue to be ones 😩
I found your channel about 3 days ago and have seen all your videos already. I’m a bit obsessed. I went to work with no sleep because I was watching every video on your channel.
Parents...MONITOR WHAT YOUR KIDS CONSUME IN THEIR SPARE TIME. Talk to your kids, get to know them, interact with them, make sure they are focused, always keep an open avenue and also be sure to apply discipline. Your kids need your guidance because their peers and pop culture are not going to help. Simon was keen while Jackie was lacking.
@@mechaksawuna262 Maybe you are but I am not. Life is great. I'm an Engineer, free to travel as I please, in shape, have a stress free life, a great circle of friends and I take life seriously. No depression over here bucko.
@@FallenAngel9979 Either she gave them to him, which is irresponsible parenting, or worse, he gained access to them via other means and she has no clue whatsoever what her 8 year old son was doing.
@@jannetteberends8730 Such a major part of the story that is buried beneath "young boy kills mother". People don't want to to speak ill of the dead, but in this instance it is warranted.
No doubt in my mind that after they let him loose, there will be more stories added to the list of crime podcasts. They won't be for stealing bread though for this dangerous and evil 'thing'. Evil through and through.
Where was Daniels father in all this? May have been helpful if his father had taken him for a while, he wouldn’t have been able to intimidate his dad so easily. Also he needed to hear that his dad was just as responsible for the relationship breakdown. It’s hard on children but many have to cope with a lot more hardship?? Just seems so sad Jackie was left to cope with Daniel on her own.
Thank you for making this, it is definitely my favourite and I have been binge watching all your episodes over Easter, I recommend it to everyone, please continue to make more I’m a super fan💛💛💛
I saw it coming because I grew up with a brother like him. I'll bet he felt replaced by his mother getting a boyfriend and going out. I'm not saying this excuses what he has done, but I understand why. I'll bet he heard her getting intimate with her boyfriend and he didn't like it. Add the divorce to it. My mother was never home and even though she might have been nice to others , as kids we felt left out and we knew she prioritize her man more than us. She also abused us she was horrible. Just another way to. look at it. Sadly her son had a temperament prone to violence. Parents should not let their kids consume all that garbage, but because she felt bad and probably guilty she let him do whatever. People usually will ask why but won't listen to the reply.
Yeah, maybe he has narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and not psycopathy, so NPD, or even if no NPD, and the whole situation made him so jealous/angry he did this. Interesting thoughts. I find this case fascinating since so many doctors were confused about it and did not think he is a psychopath. I was also theorizing a brain injury in childhood maybe. Even one that didn't seem serious, just some random fall on the playground, could have changed just the right (wrong?) spot to cause this. Tumors too, though I would assume they checked for that. I'm not a doctor but I would also assume not every brain injury can be seen with the tech they have. Tiny, unable to be diagnosed, and seemingly minor but in the exact spot needed to make a change like this... Weirder things have happened. Nobody take this as me having any idea.. I'm just thinking out loud! I am also aware that, at least in the US, anybody under 18 can usually not legally be diagnosed with these things. Again, just thinking.
I agree with this. He had his own issues. But his parents' divorce and her mother getting a boyfriend that he didnt like, made it worse and finally resulted to such horrible crime.
@Forever Free if there was one thing every child should feel is that they are the most important thing in the world to their parents. I’m sorry you didn’t experience this with your mom, my nephew was also emotionally neglected by his mother although he was privileged in many other ways. I hope if or when you have children you spend lots of time with them and never let them forget how much they are loved
I agree. Divorce, moved from his school new house, new father figure. Sounds like he was left to his own devices in his room , left to defecate, why wasn't this noticed? Some parents so obsessed with their own new lives the kids get left behind. This case is just tragic.
Same here, when my dad died of a stroke, when I was a kid my mother had no interest in us but was fixated on getting a man, any man. We were neglected. She even ended up having a six year fling with an extreme evangelical pastor in Kent and they used to use our home as a Sex Fest uring the day. And we used to get the congregation ringing our house and I had to pick up the phone and it was awkward as they wanted to speak to the Pastor and he was in bed with my mother. As a child, I had no idea what to do in the that crazy situation.
I don’t know but she is portrayed as a perfect mother but he was isolating and into the gruesome movies and things before the divorce. It seems she was not a good attentive parent. And it all went steadily downhill
@@beaulieuonnp593 it’s pure speculation but I wonder if she was an alcoholic or heavy drinker. It seems she was not attentive to her son from a young age and then divorced and met the new boyfriend in a pub and in short order they decided to live together. The boy had a lot of problems from a young age and didn’t get the help he obviously needed. And he must have had a lot of anger buildup to kill his mother
Damn... As soon as she said that the kid had woke up to someone throwing a hammer at him, I thought "Well, it likely wasn't a made up story then. That's a pretty specific thing to make up." After all the crime stories I've seen, I'm amazed at how naive I can still be.
If this devil can do this at 14, imagine what he'll do at 30 if released. He's gonna murder someone again. That's for sure. Lock him away for good or hopefully he gets "taken care of" while in prison.
How can someone be so called "rehabilitated" when they won't explain why they did it. Rehabilitated should be admitting to and accepting responsibility for your crime which he hasn't done and they are already talking about cutting his sentence. Sickening.
I can't stand these people like you who gloss right over the fact that this woman openly abused (and christ only knows what she did to him behind closed doors) the kid for years before he finally snapped and killed her, and insist she's the ONLY victim, like they explicitly detail that she neglected him so badly he was able to fill multiple boxes with excrement, and able to have unsupervised access to graphic materials designed for adults, sure she didn't deserve to die but holy tacos let's not act like she's a true victim.... saying with me, just because the dead person is female DOESNT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE HER THE VICTIM
I watch and rarely comment. This kid knows he'll get out. He is ahead of the game, jail will only make him more calculating. The system will give in to him eventually and that's terrifying.
I love this channel! I have watched every video and wait every week for a new upload. Does anyone recommend any other UA-cam channels like this one ?! 😫
Hi Everyone,
Apologies about the comments being turned off, we've turned them back on three times now and aren't sure why they keep going off but we'll try and work out what's happening!

It's probably because children are in the video. UA-cam turns them off automatically when it thinks a video involves kids or is targeted towards kids.
Sometimes when the story involves a child, YT will disable comments.

OMG are you going to fall for these lies? She lived in Nottingham. It was clearly the Sheriffs goons that murdered her than he set up her son.
Honestly, the moment you said that he ran back into the burning house to get the pet and NOT his MOM, I just knew he did it.
Not that he went back for the pet - thankfully, and also the brother, but the fact that he found - in his story - his mother and the room on fire, yet he left her there to go and get help, then came back and couldn't reach her.

It is never the children's fault. Never. Everybody in his life let him down, including literal professionals. He's not pure evil, he's broken. Also def his mom's fault for letting him cook in those horror movies.
And that therapist is still employed because...? Oh right it makes NO difference SO if we CAN'T get life in a mental hospital for criminally insane, just let him go anywhere? I bet this guy gets paroled eventually. That means he's gonna be able to repeat it.
@@aeron8884 No. Daniel was a little psychopath who deserves the rest of his life in prison. It WAS his fault, and nobody but his.
@@scheezy children aren't born evil, they are taught to be evil.
@@aeron8884 Some are.
This case hit really close to home, because my brother acts very similar to this kid. He grew up consuming disgusting content, was physically violent, drew murder scenes, and more. My mom lived in denial though and refused to see him as anything but her favorite son. He would direct his rage towards me and my brother, which resulted in several times being in the emergency room due to beatings. Now that I’m 25 and married, I’ve moved across the country, changed my number, and made sure that NO one under any circumstances gave him any of our information. Honestly, I sit back and wonder if he’s ever going to do something like this, and it’s horrifying to realize. He’s hasn’t been far off from it, and there’s nothing that we’ve been able to do to prevent it when growing up. My thoughts are with the youngest son, and I hope that he is given space to heal and recover from this trauma.
Stay safe and trust your instincts..xx
He's
He's a
Criminal
Good on you, as long as you have no contact with him or dont post anything n social media you are safe. However, I know a story of some angry guy who killed his parents and hunted down his sister who lived at the other end of the country, the following day to finish her off because she was the nice one.
The thought of him getting out in a few years is terrifying. I don’t know what the prison system is like there but if it’s anything like the prisons here in the USA he’ll most likely leave prison a lot worse off mentally & with a much better understanding of how to get away with murder next time.
Prisons in the UK are nothing like in the USA. You can get paid for doing ‘work’ around the prison. There’s always education and you can redo exams and further education. You can get most things bought in (with obvious exceptions) from what is see about American prisons 😳yeah the UK is pretty light.
If he was in the USA he'd be in prison for his actual life, which I think he should be bc he will kill again if he gets out.
@@CocoAvalon I couldn’t agree more.
@@SarahLBanks There’s zero rehabilitation in our prisons here & if you are lucky enough to make out alive you’re probably leaving with PTSD. There’s a lot of non violent offenders in our prisons who truly do deserve a second chance but sadly it’s going to be very difficult if at all possible to get hired anywhere here with a felony/felonies. This is why our recidivism rate is so high. We desperately need prison reform here.
@@SarahLBanks Prisoners in the US have the option to study and get their degrees while in prison. For example, Murderers like the twins who murdered their mother, graduated with honors while in prison (check TCD).
Some lifers have graduated with degrees and those who will be released so they will have jobs when they reenter society. Some have work training rescue dogs to be service dogs for people in need outside. I'm not American but even I know that as I have watched videos of prisoners and what they have been doing inside prison. Some even have barbers as jobs inside LOL.
the father should have done more to sort him out rather than leaving it to his ex
The mother should have done more.
@@SteRDLK they both should have done more!
@@kikismama Victim blaming are we?
I agree.
@@sonny5196Being a victim doesn't automatically mean you're innocent. Leave your keys in your car overnight and watch your insurance company refuse to cover the loss.
All I can say is I hope these so called professionals that said he was ok and no danger to anyone found a different career!! Hope they were found accountable.
"An attempt to get attn"
What a crock. How exactly was he getting attn by stealing his Mother's underwear and hiding them away?
Whoever diagnosed him as no danger should lose their license.
We don't know what he said to them though. He wasn't mentally ill and may have presented himself as normal so he could go home and be left alone to consume his violent media without further appointments. He could have said his mum was lying or exaggerating his behaviour. Children also can't be diagnosed with personality disorders, which is what he probably has.
@@tbv979 Reason why my children were never allowed to watch the kind of content he did!
@@tbv979 He was also very manipulative.
Chances are he was playing nice boy.

He was on a business trip.
@@Andy-Aims Right on! Good one! ✌🏻👍🏻😁
He was stuck in traffic jam.. 😜
He popped out for milk
Great cover of this story! I’ve heard it many times but the different background info you included gave another perspective!
You are such a brilliant story teller. Thank you for reporting on the evil in this world. Is there ever accountability for people like Dr's who said there is no problem.
It was so eerie when you named him and unveiled his face at 5:20 🙀
First mistake, not buying a house because your 14 year old son 'doesn't like it' - that's just too bad, they should have put him in his place then and there.
Can I get an amen on that??
I agree she should of got more help with a kid that ill
yes. children need to learn their place. They do not get rule the roost. His mother didint enforce rules or anything and show him that she was boss and not him. And the result ended badly
Tbf when we were moving after my mum passed away my dad did ask for my opinions on the houses we looked at and the one that he chose (that I didn't like) turned out to have a very bad energy and horrible neighbors, my dad trusted my judgement after that lol. So much so that he asked me to help chose between 2 cars that he was interested in.
First rule, don't put your own happiness before that of your children.
It's not okay to let a child alone in his room for months or even years watching extremely violent horror movies.That must have had an impact on his behaviour. His parents should have said no from the beginning.
Exactly. A child’s mind is like play-Doh. They are extremely impressionable and if not protected by the adults in their lives they have the potential to become monsters. The doctor says he wasn’t neglected, but this kid was allowed to sit in his room in isolation watching violence and filth without intervention. That’s neglect.
I don’t think it’s even been proven that watching violent films or playing violent video games leads to murder. More likely he enjoyed the violence because he has some kind of psychological defect. But I agree it’s not healthy for kids to be shut in their rooms constantly.
Doesn't sound like his mother was good at saying no, reasoning with him or disciplining him either (not doing chores and such). Sounds like he was left to his own devices too much to the detriment of those around him.
His mother was afraid of him , she couldn't do anything other than love him , so your blaming her for all this are you??? So she deserved to be killed like that did she ???
She was a loving mother, no matter what she did she couldn't stop her son , even if she did say no he would have done it anyway!
@@intotheunknown1991 She did not deserve this. She was kind and she loved him but she should have tried something. Doing nothing is wrong too. Maybe they tried idk. The way it was explained in the video they left him alone in that room and that's wrong.
He had no restrictions, the family were frightened of him the outcome was not too much of a stretch
Totally agree 👍
Ditto! Agree.
In other words he had a mother and father but he no parents.

The biggest victim is the little brother, he lost his mother and his brother. I hope he is okay and is living a happy life despite all the horror he’s been thru.
No the biggest victim was Daniel who was left alone for hours and days at a time! A mom who was to busy and self absorbed to actually be in this kids life training him, being with him!

Thank you. Great video. Very informative. God bless Jackie and her family.
You voice is one of the Best telling these crime stories,Thank you
Incredible content and presentation! Well done, you!!
Very well put together case video as always,great narration 👍
Captivating video as always! Side note- I often hear, divorce of parents being portrayed as minimal trauma but i feel it's more soul destroying for children than is realised.
Absolutely. Don’t underestimate the effect that a divorce has on children.
I have a friend who is in her 60s, whose parents divorced when she was 16 and she has never gotten over it. It has led to many issues for her. The difference is that she has not killed her parents, or anyone else. Yes, it is traumatic, but most kids going through this don't plan and plot to murder their family members even if they have long term mental health issues.
Well said and having another kid when they are an only child is a big and sometimes unwanted change
Girls are more mature than boys
This is yet again another example of how thorough your information is. I thought that I already knew about this story but you know far more. I’m so glad that your channel popped up.
I really love how detailed and clear about everything this channel is. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ i keep my notifications on !
First thing, is Never act scared of you child, even if you are. Always stand your ground. Let them know you love them but will not tolerate having hands being put on you. Period!

I really enjoy your channel because I haven’t heard of a lot of the stuff that you talk about.
Sad that not once in this story do we hear a peep about Daniel's father. That says a lot, and makes one think twice about his upbringing. A child should not be permitted by his Mum, devoted or not, to spend all of his waking hours alone in his room.
It asks a lot more than it says, actually. Mothers are usually favored for custody, but moreover, what made her think that taking up with another guy while her sons were still under her would be a smart idea? Why couldn't she send them to their father in the interim? It might not have made a difference, but who knows?
@@shahidabdoullakhanzorovr1564 The father wasn't reliable in that way this is documented in other documentaries
Watchin bloody horror films 🤦♂️
This is a perfect example of the damage that single m0thers do to children. She divorced his father ripped him away from his happy life with no thought about anyone but herself. An extreme example of what their narcissism does to children.
The rationalist, what an irrational statement. You don’t think fathers damage their children? You’re in lala land.
What about the younger brother? 🤔
Those psychologists must have gotten their degree from a cereal box. Have him live with them, and see if they make the same diagnosis. Never let him out. Psychopath for sure
Totally agree!
Based on all the other true crime vids about the UK that I've seen, towards the end of the video I was predicting to hear a sentence of "life" with a relatively short "minimum term". A minimum term of 16 years though?!?! What an absolute joke.
Thank you for doing these amazing videos! Love the channel
If it were in Australia his minimum term would have likely been 10 or less even. The Australian judicial system is a joke 😐
Minimum term doesn't really mean much if there's no change with the prisoner.
My half brother's minimum term was 13 years, he's coming up on 19 years now.
Tbh for a child that's a decent sentence but when he gets to 16 years doesn't mean he will be granted parole.
Life in the uk is 21 years
Its the UK the love being lenient on murderers
Your channel deserves a million+ subscribers. You’re amazing 🤩
Another great video. I am glad the victims have someone like you willing to share their stories and keep their memories alive.
If this guy gets released, innocent people will pay 😢 how can they never learn that this kind of criminals will always and forever continue to be ones 😩
I found your channel about 3 days ago and have seen all your videos already. I’m a bit obsessed. I went to work with no sleep because I was watching every video on your channel.
These psychologists are wrong. Too many poor judgment calls to even waste time talking about
Most trainee doctors who spend their time on the Psych wards reckon that the Psych doctors are the ones who should be sectioned - not the inmates!
So happy I found this channel!
Parents...MONITOR WHAT YOUR KIDS CONSUME IN THEIR SPARE TIME. Talk to your kids, get to know them, interact with them, make sure they are focused, always keep an open avenue and also be sure to apply discipline. Your kids need your guidance because their peers and pop culture are not going to help. Simon was keen while Jackie was lacking.

She also gave him violent videos and films at an inappropriate age.
@@SteRDLK How do you know she “gave” them to him? Highly unlikely.

@@FallenAngel9979 Either she gave them to him, which is irresponsible parenting, or worse, he gained access to them via other means and she has no clue whatsoever what her 8 year old son was doing.
@@jannetteberends8730 Such a major part of the story that is buried beneath "young boy kills mother". People don't want to to speak ill of the dead, but in this instance it is warranted.
Evil can’t be rehabilitated. That poor woman 💔
No doubt in my mind that after they let him loose, there will be more stories added to the list of crime podcasts. They won't be for stealing bread though for this dangerous and evil 'thing'. Evil through and through.
Wow, this kid didn't stop till he was in danger. Poor lady!
Where was Daniels father in all this?
May have been helpful if his father had taken him for a while, he wouldn’t have been able to intimidate his dad so easily.
Also he needed to hear that his dad was just as responsible for the relationship breakdown.
It’s hard on children but many have to cope with a lot more hardship??
Just seems so sad Jackie was left to cope with Daniel on her own.
I would have sent him to live with his father if I were his mom.
Maybe dad was abusive? Maybe dad refused to have custody?
@@singularlyinepthumanProbably because he knew Daniel was a little devil
Some people are just born rotten. I hope his little brother is okay. How horrifying.
Thank you for making this, it is definitely my favourite and I have been binge watching all your episodes over Easter, I recommend it to everyone, please continue to make more I’m a super fan💛💛💛
16 years is nothing for this guy. He should never be released. He will hurt again for sure if he is released.
You have such an excellent narrating voice! So calming. Whatever the grisly content. 😶
Daniel's father should have given some help . With Daniel's behavior , it looks like he didn't .
Neither did his mother, step-father or professionals. Failed at every turn.
Lack of a positive male role model perhaps?
@@davidjma7226lack of abortion if you ask me.
I'd imagine that there's a reason why the marriage failed and why the dad didn't help out. Potential DV or abuse perhaps.
How can people never check their kid's bedrooms? I can never get my head around that.🤷♀️
Just discovered this account. Really great content guys. Well and thorough research done on true crime cases.
I love your presentation of every story you tell. I haven’t heard of many of these crimes and always look forward to the next episode.
I saw it coming because I grew up with a brother like him. I'll bet he felt replaced by his mother getting a boyfriend and going out. I'm not saying this excuses what he has done, but I understand why. I'll bet he heard her getting intimate with her boyfriend and he didn't like it. Add the divorce to it.
My mother was never home and even though she might have been nice to others , as kids we felt left out and we knew she prioritize her man more than us. She also abused us she was horrible.
Just another way to. look at it. Sadly her son had a temperament prone to violence. Parents should not let their kids consume all that garbage, but because she felt bad and probably guilty she let him do whatever.
People usually will ask why but won't listen to the reply.
Yeah, maybe he has narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and not psycopathy, so NPD, or even if no NPD, and the whole situation made him so jealous/angry he did this. Interesting thoughts. I find this case fascinating since so many doctors were confused about it and did not think he is a psychopath. I was also theorizing a brain injury in childhood maybe. Even one that didn't seem serious, just some random fall on the playground, could have changed just the right (wrong?) spot to cause this. Tumors too, though I would assume they checked for that. I'm not a doctor but I would also assume not every brain injury can be seen with the tech they have. Tiny, unable to be diagnosed, and seemingly minor but in the exact spot needed to make a change like this... Weirder things have happened. Nobody take this as me having any idea.. I'm just thinking out loud! I am also aware that, at least in the US, anybody under 18 can usually not legally be diagnosed with these things. Again, just thinking.
I agree with this. He had his own issues. But his parents' divorce and her mother getting a boyfriend that he didnt like, made it worse and finally resulted to such horrible crime.
@Forever Free if there was one thing every child should feel is that they are the most important thing in the world to their parents. I’m sorry you didn’t experience this with your mom, my nephew was also emotionally neglected by his mother although he was privileged in many other ways. I hope if or when you have children you spend lots of time with them and never let them forget how much they are loved
I agree. Divorce, moved from his school new house, new father figure. Sounds like he was left to his own devices in his room , left to defecate, why wasn't this noticed? Some parents so obsessed with their own new lives the kids get left behind. This case is just tragic.
Same here, when my dad died of a stroke, when I was a kid my mother had no interest in us but was fixated on getting a man, any man. We were neglected. She even ended up having a six year fling with an extreme evangelical pastor in Kent and they used to use our home as a Sex Fest uring the day. And we used to get the congregation ringing our house and I had to pick up the phone and it was awkward as they wanted to speak to the Pastor and he was in bed with my mother. As a child, I had no idea what to do in the that crazy situation.
Just found u tonight . Thanks for your work . Will keel watching
I don’t know but she is portrayed as a perfect mother but he was isolating and into the gruesome movies and things before the divorce. It seems she was not a good attentive parent. And it all went steadily downhill
yes, neglectful parent
@@beaulieuonnp593 it’s pure speculation but I wonder if she was an alcoholic or heavy drinker. It seems she was not attentive to her son from a young age and then divorced and met the new boyfriend in a pub and in short order they decided to live together. The boy had a lot of problems from a young age and didn’t get the help he obviously needed. And he must have had a lot of anger buildup to kill his mother
Your channel is so awesome, I Look forward to watching your video’s each week. Keep up the Great work!!!👍💯💯❤️🙌❤️🥰
Damn... As soon as she said that the kid had woke up to someone throwing a hammer at him, I thought "Well, it likely wasn't a made up story then. That's a pretty specific thing to make up."
After all the crime stories I've seen, I'm amazed at how naive I can still be.
You tell these stories really really well!!
The signs were all there, this could of been prevented, unbelievable.
If this devil can do this at 14, imagine what he'll do at 30 if released. He's gonna murder someone again. That's for sure. Lock him away for good or hopefully he gets "taken care of" while in prison.
He has a Mouth on the Outside but the Guards and Inmates will show him who is Boss🤔
How can someone be so called "rehabilitated" when they won't explain why they did it. Rehabilitated should be admitting to and accepting responsibility for your crime which he hasn't done and they are already talking about cutting his sentence. Sickening.
I can't stand these defence attorneys,
Always blame the Victim.
It's disgusting!
I can't stand these people like you who gloss right over the fact that this woman openly abused (and christ only knows what she did to him behind closed doors) the kid for years before he finally snapped and killed her, and insist she's the ONLY victim, like they explicitly detail that she neglected him so badly he was able to fill multiple boxes with excrement, and able to have unsupervised access to graphic materials designed for adults, sure she didn't deserve to die but holy tacos let's not act like she's a true victim.... saying with me, just because the dead person is female DOESNT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE HER THE VICTIM
This was easy to call. "Threw the hammer at him" and "panicked so he grabbed his brother and departed" told me everything I needed to know.
As someone who also went to Thorneywood for an assessment It doesn’t surprise me they’ve been closed down now for a few years
Love ur voice and content presentation. Panama here
I don’t understand how the psychiatrists did not diagnose him with anything, Daniel seems to display so many aspects of psychopathy
I watch and rarely comment. This kid knows he'll get out. He is ahead of the game, jail will only make him more calculating. The system will give in to him eventually and that's terrifying.
Where was his father in all of this?? This kid needs to be locked up for life!!! Sociopath!!
"Daniel didn't do chores", or approve of the house? Umm, who's the parent? Tell that kid what's what and don't take any s**t...
Some people are just born evil. This filth should be shown no mercy.
I agree! He's an evil little sh*t and should never see the light of day.
I don't understand the seemingly light sentence. Why? How very sad for that poor woman, to die at the hands of her son! Hope they keep him in prison!
I love this channel! I have watched every video and wait every week for a new upload. Does anyone recommend any other UA-cam channels like this one ?! 😫
This poor family.
