No. There's a big difference between people who are bad, and good people who do bad things. These parents.were not rotten people. They convinced themselves they were doing the right thing to save their baby. Sadly that kind of mental justification is something good people do all the time in various ways.

It registered prior to hearing it. They just didn't care. Plus, he said the mom stepped in the kitchen and saw what had happened. When he tried to talk to her about it. She told him to shut up or something of that nature. I just watched the full episode on Peacock a few minutes ago.

Just before Jack McCoy asks the judge if he can resume his cross-examination of Sammy Morelos the following day, he sounds like he gets choked up when he says "but you were going to college" after Sammy says all the money went towards Davey. I think in that moment he was starting to get it, and his heart broke for the little boy that Sammy was when he got sold to Monty Bender
When McCoy also says its irrelevant that Sammy is lying about making the abuse up (10:28), you can tell he also regrets that Sammy has to find out what his parents did.
Imagine selling one kid to a pervert to save the other! By doing so they mentally, emotionally and physically destroy their healthy kid. Davi maybe saved but what will happen when he finds out the truth? these parents literally destroyed their sons wellbeing and god knows what kind of damage they’ve caused by doing so. Lord have mercy .
This reminds me of the Chicago Med Episode where parents have a second child just for the purpose of being an organ donor for their first child, literally harvesting the second one as much as possible
SVU had a similar case, it was even crazier in that one. The parents were so desperate to keep their child from testifying that they had an uncle smuggle the boy to Canada. Only silver lining was that the father was imprisoned technically in perpetually, as he was ordered imprisoned until he produced his son for testimony. The case was also derailed by one of those Munchausen moms who jumped on the bandwagon and thought she could get money, ultimately she was exposed for poisoning her daughter to make people think she had cancer.
What disgusts me the most about this is that the parents are the ones who are supposed to protect their children, no matter what! They deserve to be in jail for life.
Yes, thank you for confirming that was Lisa Lisa from the 80's group Cult Jam. On the thumbnail showing her face I said, that looks like Lisa Lisa & that's the reson why I watched this episode. Didn't know she acted as well. She lived in the mid fifties where I resided for a bit, cool!
These are the types of shows that make you appreciate your own non-transactional parents. If you haven't already, tell them how lucky* you are to have them as your parents. *Unless they're one of the many other weirdos we see on TV.
Non-transactional assumes they were offered a price. I'm sure the couple in the episode were normal parents until someone threw a million dollars in their face.
There are many forms of abuse. Just because my parents never sold me (that i know of) doesn't mean I'm gonna reach back out to them and thank them for the abuse they DID put me through. What weird logic.
@@Orion_TheyThem Transactional is a broad term. The transaction doesn't have to be money. For example, if you had a narcissistic parent and they would provide you with your basic living needs only when you made them look good or served them in some way, that's transactional.
Probably the parents because they lead that child to the slaughter to save the other child who was sick and they have to live with what that man did to that child!
“I had no reason not to trust him.” Because being told a stranger wants to spend a weekend with your kid isn’t suspicious. He *must* be trustworthy because he is pushed by the entertainment industry. She’s mother of the century material. How could *anyone* blame her??? /a billion watts of sarcastic anger. Edit: Replaced a ? with a .
Exactly some parents barely let their child have a sleepover at another child's house that they've never met. The fools let their young child spend the night at a whole tale adult's house they've never met.
This is bad ……the minute I start watching these clips - I’m hooked for ages ! On another and more serious note ……how can any parent “sell” a child to a pervert even if his/her sibling is so poorly ? I’d sell myself if that’s what it would take but never , not my child. Some very disturbing parents here .
I can understand that the parents were desperate to save their sick child, but what they did... No justification. There should have been the following segment in this story. People's exhibit ###: Bank record indicating how much money the family received. People's exhibit ###: Medical expense record for treating your brother. After deducting the medical expenses, that leaves "so much money", and that's an estimate. Why aren't you getting it? Your father's getting it. Your parents are getting it. But you're in college, and you're paying to live in the dorms. If you wanted to go for scholarships, okay. But still, the money, or rather what's left of it, is meant for you, not them. So why aren't you using it?
It wasn't so much that as they were desperate, their younger son would die without surgeries, and they had no money for them; they were offered a million dollars for the eldest son...and they took it. Were they wrong? OMG, of course they were.
That was sorry what they did to their firstborn and they justified it which what they did seem more vile and wicked and they deserve what they have coming!
one of my fave episodes! love the actors who play the parents but their characters on this episode infuriate me. & serena for some reason works for the DA when she should be a defense attorney, feeling sorry for every perp smh
I don't remember which episode exatcly, but you are right. Serena had a bleeding heart which led to Arthur Branch letting her go. I liked Serena in some aspects but she was no Alexandra Cabot or Casey Novak. those 2 were bosses!
Before how the parents react when the truth is revealed for them actually setting him up for abuse. There's two clues that suggest they never really cared about him, both being during the court case, first with Monty's ex-associate saying that the mother never really looked unhappy and was actually having a good time away from Sam on the little vacation, then when she says Monty seemed trustworthy despite wanting to be alone with her son. And then you place with how they said he was molested only one time as if it was never a big deal, you got the worst parents ever featured on television.
My children always come first always never ever would I sell my child for money ever even if one of my child was dieing it's unimaginable to do this evil act dear god....
😳 OMG!! I remember this episode. Sadly, this happens more often than any of us want to admit. In my opinion, the parents deserve an even harsher punishment than the child abuser. Crimes like this make me wish for public executions.
In this instance however what would happen if they got the wrong person 😞 There have been exonerated by DNA evidence among others who would have been executed if that State had the death penalty!
I don’t think there are all that many parents who arrange for their own child to be brutalised for money because the golden child needs it. There are plenty of parents who hurt kids or even sell them to pedophiles… but not to get money for another kid. They want the money for themselves. That’s a unique twist - selling one kid to be abused to save the other.
I love Law and Order, I’m a huge fan. Please post the Law and Order from Season 8 episode : Divorce when The Lawyers got into a debate and the Male lawyer had the manipulative female set up to confessing to killing that Counselor who involved in the divorce of a couple. Then in Court the Victim’s Husband yelled at the female lawyer on how could she be sorry just to win a divorce case. That was epic.
Every time I kept hearing the word bender.... Me and my futurama mind... BENDER! BEEEEENNNNNDER! BENDER! BEEEEENNNNNDER! SPELL B E N DEEERRRRREEERRR!!!
I had this happen to me but without money involved. My mother liked my sister better, so I was left with grandpa, who had sexually assaulted her. Between the ages of 3-6, I was left to placate him while grandma, my sister and mother would go shopping. I know my dad suspected something, because dad couldn’t stand him; but his work kept him away. When he was home, I stayed with him.
I kept thinking that at any moment the courtroom would go dark, a spotlight would hit Lisa Lisa, and her band would appear out of nowhere jamming. Or at least I hoped. 😀
Oh my god wtf ?? they sold their own son to a perv ?! That’s fucked up u really can’t trust any own even your own blood 💔what’s sad is this shot happens in real life to
I remember when Monty was at arraignment. Bailiff: Charge is sexual abuse of a child in the second degree. This is where the Judge usually asks how the Defendant pleads. Instead we got- Judge: Shame in you!
00:12 can anyone read his jacket? it looks like it says NYBD. at first I thought it was nyfd because maybe they couldn't use fdny, but then i saw the other jackets and obviously they do use nypd. so now I'm more confused. there's no NYBD, NYED. so whats up with his jacket?
@@ineffable_eldritch_horror131yeah, I looked up the history and it's weird. I was confused because they call themselves the fire department of new York. But use the lettering nyfd. I know in movies/Tv they sometimes switch up the letters to get away with the laws but apparently it's just a weird new York thing. After a big fire they changed the name but kept the lettering. Or something like that.
I know this is just TV for fact parents have done this to tell your child to a predator knowing what he was going to do with him is beyond evil beyond anything in this planet or universe they may have saved their second child from death but their sacrifice the other my God which is even more evil
What makes me so sad is he actually forgave his parents when he thought they took the money after what happened. He understood they needed they needed it for his little brother and he gave up ever getting justice for his little brother’s life. But the fact they they basically prostitued him out to a pervert broke him.
Monty adopted the child, there was a fire and the guy held the baby outside so the baby wouldn't breath in the smoke and the child fell , it was an accident that eventually uncovered the real crime
For anyone wondering what happens next, Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.
I had a landlady who sold her boy. He was 12 but looked 9. I didn't have to testify but I did talk with the agents. That was way back. So yes it does happen.
At first I think it was just a tactic to get them to turn against Monty. It wasn't until that moment that McCoy realized the extent of their depravity. By the way, Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.
I also thought it was sick when people have another child just to save their sick child but this, these parents sold one of their kids to save a sick kid
This has to be loosely based on Michael Jackson right? I didn’t think of it until I read the video description, what other explanation do you have for linking a baby, a hotel balcony, and a celebrity diddling kids away from the city in a special place?
Not sure, but I know how to watch it for free. By the way: Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.

I was shocked by this how can someone do this to their child.
Before how the parents react when the truth is revealed for them actually setting him up for abuse. There's two clues that suggest they never really cared about him, both being during the court case, first with Monty's ex-associate saying that the mother never really looked unhappy and was actually having a good time away from Sam on the little vacation, then when she says Monty seemed trustworthy despite wanting to be alone with her son. And then you place with how they said he was molested only one time as if it was never a big deal, you got the worst parents ever featured on television.
My children always come first always never ever would I sell my child for money ever even if one of my child was dieing it's unimaginable to do this evil act dear god....
The mom is Lisa Lisa. This could have been a crossover episode with SVU.
😳 OMG!! I remember this episode. Sadly, this happens more often than any of us want to admit. In my opinion, the parents deserve an even harsher punishment than the child abuser. Crimes like this make me wish for public executions.
In this instance however what would happen if they got the wrong person 😞 There have been exonerated by DNA evidence among others who would have been executed if that State had the death penalty!
I don’t think there are all that many parents who arrange for their own child to be brutalised for money because the golden child needs it.
There are plenty of parents who hurt kids or even sell them to pedophiles… but not to get money for another kid. They want the money for themselves.
That’s a unique twist - selling one kid to be abused to save the other.
I love Law and Order, I’m a huge fan. Please post the Law and Order from Season 8 episode : Divorce when The Lawyers got into a debate and the Male lawyer had the manipulative female set up to confessing to killing that Counselor who involved in the divorce of a couple. Then in Court the Victim’s Husband yelled at the female lawyer on how could she be sorry just to win a divorce case. That was epic.
Jill Clayburgh was Great
Great acting from everyone, especially David Zayas and Lisa Lisa.
Thank you, I thought that was Lisa Lisa
Every time I kept hearing the word bender.... Me and my futurama mind...
BENDER! BEEEEENNNNNDER!
BENDER! BEEEEENNNNNDER!
SPELL B E N DEEERRRRREEERRR!!!
I had this happen to me but without money involved. My mother liked my sister better, so I was left with grandpa, who had sexually assaulted her. Between the ages of 3-6, I was left to placate him while grandma, my sister and mother would go shopping.
I know my dad suspected something, because dad couldn’t stand him; but his work kept him away. When he was home, I stayed with him.
🥺
I'm so sorry ❤❤❤❤
Are they in prison where they belong?
That was a pretty bad jump cut from the hospital room to the station. 😅
I kept thinking that at any moment the courtroom would go dark, a spotlight would hit Lisa Lisa, and her band would appear out of nowhere jamming. Or at least I hoped. 😀
Missing Context. First, they show Monty getting arrested, and then John and Lucy are on trial. What happened to Monty.
I didn't see that coming at all. That's so effed up...
4:25 I wonder if I take you home 🎶(if you're a POC from the 80's ,you'll get that 😊)
The look on his face, good acting
03:22 Angel! How's Dexter?
Oh my god wtf ?? they sold their own son to a perv ?! That’s fucked up u really can’t trust any own even your own blood 💔what’s sad is this shot happens in real life to
Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.
honestly it depends on the parents and relationship to their child. Also anyone can lie and get away if they try to protect that lie to the grave.
I doubt that this specific scenario has ever happened in real life.
That is so wrong of them . I'd didn't get it until the end.
I remember when Monty was at arraignment.
Bailiff: Charge is sexual abuse of a child in the second degree.
This is where the Judge usually asks how the Defendant pleads. Instead we got-
Judge: Shame in you!
American medical system: sell your kid to be able to pay for an operation.
00:12 can anyone read his jacket? it looks like it says NYBD. at first I thought it was nyfd because maybe they couldn't use fdny, but then i saw the other jackets and obviously they do use nypd. so now I'm more confused. there's no NYBD, NYED. so whats up with his jacket?
Nyfd as is new york fire department
@@ineffable_eldritch_horror131yeah, I looked up the history and it's weird. I was confused because they call themselves the fire department of new York. But use the lettering nyfd. I know in movies/Tv they sometimes switch up the letters to get away with the laws but apparently it's just a weird new York thing. After a big fire they changed the name but kept the lettering. Or something like that.
That was a weird way for that cop to talk to that woman.
Where can I watch all episodes in full for free in the Uk
Also I can’t seem to find season 9 episode 17
I know this is just TV for fact parents have done this to tell your child to a predator knowing what he was going to do with him is beyond evil beyond anything in this planet or universe they may have saved their second child from death but their sacrifice the other my God which is even more evil
The moment you realize the mother is played by Lisa Lisa of Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam.
A baby’s death seems like no laughing matter
What season ang episode please? Thank you.
Those traitorous parents.
What makes me so sad is he actually forgave his parents when he thought they took the money after what happened. He understood they needed they needed it for his little brother and he gave up ever getting justice for his little brother’s life. But the fact they they basically prostitued him out to a pervert broke him.
This is the one episode of Law & Order that stayed with me for a long time afterwards.
Why was the baby thrown out of the window in the first place? Why was the baby there with them?
Monty adopted the child, there was a fire and the guy held the baby outside so the baby wouldn't breath in the smoke and the child fell , it was an accident that eventually uncovered the real crime
@@kdohertygizburThank you. I was so confused as to what a fire and a baby falling out a window had to do with that poor boy being sold to monty.
I need the full epi
Thanks for posting this episode!
Omg now I have to see the whole episode. You cut off to soon
For anyone wondering what happens next, Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.
Does this story sound familiar?
mj?
Law and order Svu did one too I think it was called sick
I had a landlady who sold her boy. He was 12 but looked 9. I didn't have to testify but I did talk with the agents. That was way back. So yes it does happen.
DISGUSTING! Why are they not charged with sexual abuse of a minor!
At first I think it was just a tactic to get them to turn against Monty. It wasn't until that moment that McCoy realized the extent of their depravity. By the way, Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.
They are charged. They are charged with conspiracy to commit child sexual abuse, and convicted.
I also thought it was sick when people have another child just to save their sick child but this, these parents sold one of their kids to save a sick kid
WOW. I wasn't expecting that ending. I knew things didn't seem right with them per se. But I honestly wasn't expecting that.
Those parents are freaking sick Blessed Be.
This has to be loosely based on Michael Jackson right? I didn’t think of it until I read the video description, what other explanation do you have for linking a baby, a hotel balcony, and a celebrity diddling kids away from the city in a special place?
I think so yeah.
Where can I buy this episode?
Not sure, but I know how to watch it for free. By the way: Sammy asks to testify again and sends Mommy and Daddy Dearest away for a long time. Monty is arrested in front of a phalanx of reporters.
4:54 hey funny man😂
Is this the correct season and episode ?
NOOOOOOOOO, SGT. BATISTA, DON´T SELL YOUR KID, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My god this is brutal. How does someone ever recover from that? People can be absolute soulless monsters, especially when it comes to money.
This television show is amazing it teaches crime doesn't pay
