I think that it would be best before getting intimate with someone to let them know if you are trans, NOT for fear or danger of reprisal, but because there's less chance of hurt feelings on either side. It's NOT an excuse to harm someone, but it makes sense to discuss it before getting sexual.
Why is everyone ignoring the giant elephant in the room? Why is your child out meeting strange men at 3 o' clock in the morning? That is the biggest thing that needs to be addressed here!
Totally i agree with you. It’s the political agenda is why. There was 32 murdered last year. I mean one person is sad i get that, but the agenda is unbelievable. They call it genocide!! Better vote Democrat to stop the genocide. Unbelievable.
My parents were so strict with me and my sister we had to be home by 9 and that was a long time from having to be home at 7pm and we were only allowed to go to certain places. Sadly I still veered in a terrible direction but I've been sober now for 32 years. I got caught early but think about people who keep using for years and never make it. 😞 You're right though, in this day and age, no one should be out that late, it almost never ends well.
Nikki fighting this man, how does it define logic? Nikki is biologically a man so she has the strength to do so, but dumping the body after killing her just doesn't sit well with me 🤷🏾♀️
Mom at the end says "she was just a baby she was just a teenager" well "mom" why did you let her party, skip school, and not intervene when she was on meth?
I agree...seriously....I was a single mom with several kids and two jobs..........I worked my tail off but I would never have allowed my kids to do that...EVER
If her child had made different choices, she would still be here. Unfortunately she made wrong decisions and fell into the hands of the wrong man. It's sad. She didn't deserve a hate crime though.
16 addicted to meth,suspended from school,took 6 bullets on a drug buy situation,violent and out at all times of the night?maybe he/she needed a parent not a friend .
At that young age out at all hours of the night, doing such hard drugs, lying to people, getting shot at?? This is the real problem. She mightve been a wonderful person but clearly with very deep problems and issues. Anyone living such a dangerous life that young has a high chance of not getting a good outcome.
Yep. But when we say "use common sense" & "make better decisions" I guarantee some dumbas* will come along and say "stop victim blaming!" Our society doesn't understand agency & personal responsibility anymore. Anything goes, apparently.

Yup. When a 25yo masc approaches an attractive teen femme who's alone at night, it's not because they're a nice guy. He wanted something from her. Pretty sure he wouldn't have gone up to an old, heavyset man walking alone at night to see if he needed help... ya know?
I find it crazy that Nikki was still able to go out at night after her mom finding out that she's been using drugs and got shot six times. This is such a tragic case that could've been prevented
I guess you BOTH missed the fact that Nikki was not living with either of her parents, huh? But, how about we just stop BLAMING victims? ANY of the victims. Victims include family and friends.
She was 17 and living with friends. Regardless, what right does a parent have to keep their teen captive because they were struggling with substance use a year prior?
The killer was quick to point out Nikki’s lifestyle was a biblical sin yet glossed over his lifestyle of picking up whom he thought was a vulnerable girl for casual sex, giving them alcohol and drugs, and murdering them. Some defense.🙄We’re commanded to LOVE. GOD judges our sins.
yes- i got stuck on this as well. "The killer was quick to point out Nikki’s lifestyle was a biblical sin yet glossed over his lifestyle of picking up whom he thought was a vulnerable girl for casual sex, giving them alcohol and drugs, and murdering them". horribly sad & digusting.
Yes. Even if Nikki was biologically a woman she was still an underage and vulnerable child. I wonder what other kids he’s picked up, drugged and assaulted before this case.
I see plenty of these kind of tragic endings, and usually the accused found out way too late in the relationship, or meeting that the person they were talking to was actually not a woman. Just say when the flirting begins that you are trans, because if you are proud of who you are (as you should be, like we all should trans, straight, in between etc), then you should have no problem saying it when someone is flirting with you.
@@realreviews4017 Educate yourself. As a hetero Cis Person, we are very privileged but there is a Reason for Queer People not to come forward as if they talk about their fav Color etc.Blaming Victims never helped anybody...
@sharimeline3077 you do realise that biological women get murdered all the time due to living life dangerously but for some reason the trans community took ALL of the blame away from Nikki despite her making bad decisions repeatedly and sleeping with complete strangers for drug money. Trust me if this was just an average biological woman she would 100% receive scrutiny for her behaviour and actions.
Seems like the mom wanted to be more of a 'yass queen' bestie than a mom to her kid, you can tell how how delusional she is about Nikki's behavior, the behavior she facilitated.
@@kathysmotherman2515 her friends and the interviewer, they only talked about how tough she was and that wouldn’t stop her, also showed pics of every smiling and posing in the hospital
Another fact is that this was still a 16 year old.. not really mentally in a place to make decisions with clarity of consequences that would follow, that’s where guidance comes in, especially with meth, I’ve heard it’s difficult for full adults to shake, can’t imagine 16 and living an adult lifestyle 🥹
I was once 14 and despite being a “good girl”, sometimes I lied to my parents that I’m staying at my friend’s place and instead was hanging out with a group of guys that were doing drugs and drinking. I was madly in love with one of them… now I’m 33 and I’m thankful that poor decisions didn’t ruin my life, but there’s no chance I’d understand anything back then. Just remember that you’ve also been a child one day and probably did stupid things..
Still too young to decide to be a girl. So many teens regret their choice to "change gender". But those promoting trans ideology aren't honest with the world about that.
24:31 Well that’s a beautiful sentiment. But. It’s such a shame that Lisa’s drive “to do right by her child” didn’t kick in earlier, ie while her child was alive and spiraling. *My comment is NOT based on the matter of transgender status.. we can remove that factor from my point entirely.* Because her child, trans or not, was clearly struggling and on a very destructive path as a school suspended, violent fighting, shot 6 times, teenage METH addict for goodness sakes. Red flags were a-flying and gave Lisa multiple opportunities to “do right by her child”. This is beyond tragic.
@@kerrykent7194 There is no need, as that what this video focuses on. What it doesn't focus on, is the bad parenting that contributed to that young girl's spiraling and eventual death. Since it doesn't get enough attention in the video, people feel the need to highlight it here. None of the comments concerned with the mother were aimed at excusing the killer's actions.
In no way is it ok or justifys anyone being murdered. I think its important whether straight, bi, gay or transgender that people are open and honest prior to engaging in any type of intimate contact with anyone, in many times it will prevent disappointment from both parties and allow the other person to make a decision whether they want to pursue something with a man, women or transgender.
@@zombiechicken7114So do you think that a trans person should not be honest about being trans then? And just it let be a surprise or something when they become intimate with someone? Is that what you think?
@@zombiechicken7114come on bsffr, Nikki told him the night of their “date”. A lie is a lie is a LIE. A person should NEVER just surprise another about something as serious as their gender identity the night of meeting up. This is typically why trans murders occur. Research shows this. Time & time again. Be honest and up front from JUMP. Lying no matter what the situation never ends up well.
Parenting is not a part time job, if you're willing to have children then expect to dedicate yr entire life, the mother was at fault, seeing all these red flags and the parent never did anything is ridiculous
they just patted him on the back and said "wow your mental illness is wonderful huh?" "must be great to be used all the time" ugh I can not identify with these "baby mills".
@@trishhamilton2049 Mental illness? I don't think that murderer's parents were patting him on the back for being deranged? Mental illness is nothing to be praised. His parents should have raised him not to hate other people for just living their lives. What "baby mills" are you talking about?
@@thedeviouspanda Well it's simple really, his mother knew he was a boy but accepted him as a girl. The dynamics change when its an actual girl. His confidence is that of a young man and not of a 16 year old biological female who are generally more cautious and would not behave like him. His mother no doubt took many a verbal beating from him so she let him do whatever. Not her fault, she's only submitting to the alpha male.
The suggestion that someone high on meth would go for a gun “defies logic?” Um, yeah, no it doesn’t. Have you ever encountered someone high on meth? Lol
Also that Nikki was somehow helpless?? Yeah right, physically she was still a man. Wayyy stronger than most women regardless of what Nikki claimed to be. PLUS, Nikki was high on METH!!! AND we ALL know about meth and what it does regarding physical strength. It sure as hell doesn't turn people into timid, little butterflies!!!
@@knavishlassie I apologize I meant young people on school nights? Roaming the streets not going to school? Is that not asking for trouble??? High risk behavior = Dangerous consequences

Never ever pick up strangers or get into a strangers vehicle. Don't drink and drive. Don't do drugs. Don't lie, deceive others for personal gain. These are the real lessons here.
I love how the MRAs are blaming the victim. This is always what I see when women are the vic and men are the perps. We're suppose to do better, not the men (a.k.a., the perps).

No matter which side of the social/moral issue involved here you live, no person DESERVES to be assaulted or killed. Period. My heart breaks for all the families who end up dealing with the outcome of someone else's choices.

I doubt the initial shooting was over drugs...but hey, raging hormones and a belief that you're invincible can be a deadly combo. Meeting someone for casual sex is always going to be a dicey situation regardless of whether one person is transgender or not ...look at the Grace Millane case.
Nikki died because her mother wouldn’t parent her… a kid out in the middle of the night meeting random men, doing meth, skipping school… that’s on her, regardless of her gender.
She was seventeen. No matter how you twist or turn it and whether she did or didn't make the right choices, she was a teenager. She did not deserve to die
how do people mix up deserved to die and was living a risky lifestyle that would increase your odds of dying? I haven't seen one comment say she deserved to die, quit twisting people's words like you don't have the ability to understand
I respect transgender people and want them to be able to live their lives the way they please HOWEVER I DO BELIEVE that a STRAIGHT person should have a RIGHT to know who STRAIGHT person is DATING
Very true, she was continually putting herself in high risk situations, eventually you're going to run out of luck. If only she'd been honest to the guy from the very start, she'd still be alive.
In regards to a potentially romantic relationship, it is imperative for the trans person to be honest from the beginning. It’s for the safety of the trans person.
How can a person do such a thing to another human being and still close their eyes at night. So heartbreaking. Meeting people on social media is very dangerous, and 99% of people lie about what they look like or who they are. You cant start a relationship on a lie.
When he said, "this was such a humiliating experience for me," after describing how he brutally murdered her. How self-centered and disgusting can you be? So cruel.
Based on the comments, I believe many will agree. I can Starr by saying in no way, did the victim deserve to be killed. With that said, multiple people, including the victim, could and should have made better decisions with simple common sense and better judgment. If transgenders or anyone else for that matter wishes to be respected and treated with care, then they should also respect and treat others with the same respect and care. By doing so, that would include being up front about sexual gender.
Uh, when you make excuses for your kid hitting other kids in school a bunch of times 'but it was always to defend other kids', you're a bad mom. Then drugs and truancy and doing whatever else, while underage?? And don't even start with this 'when trans people go missing they're often dead' stuff- that's the case with EVERYONE.
I wouldn't be surprised if he already knew she was trans when he went to pick her up, and that he picked her up with the full intent of murdering her. It's tragic that some people's discomfort with their own sexuality results in them projecting it on others. Sick. Just sick.
Respect to all transpeople and their decision to live their life the way they want and need. There is no justification for the crime. But, being deceitful to others by not revealing their own identity is unacceptable as well. Sure, be who you are but but be honest and open about it.
Remember guys, don't be too all-American, don't be the life of the party, don't light up a room and keep your shirt on your back. Follow this advice and you'll live longer.☑
Love and pamper your child till age 5 then be strict parent till age 16 be their guide afterwards..... You know what your child is doing , you know what kind of ppl are around so please guide them in proper way. Getting addicted to durgs so early risking life by meeting strangers at odd time she had invited too many dangers for herself. Its sad for a parent to loss a child so early this will be a never healing injury in her life. I wish all youngsters be bit more sensible and cautious when you are going to explore new things. Same parents keep tab on your kids on what they are doing.
Nikki had a history of hitting people her even said, “I would get called for her hitting people.” Why is it hard to believe that he freaked out on him after feeling rejected because he pushed him back and called him disgusting? This could’ve ended up differently if Nikki was up front with who he truly was. I am not saying the guy that killed him is in the right he should’ve killed him. This is just sad the mom basically let Nikki do what he wanted she even said it. “I just let Nikki lead the way.” Kids are not supposed to lead the way as parents we are supposed to guid them and protect them. This mom didn’t do that. Truly sad
Nope. This is why at least one safe parent is needed. That the mother phrased it as "She led the way, I followed" says alot. Also: single mothers mostly didn't chose that past from the get-go. Many were forced to leave in order to survive. So in the end, it often is to blame on the fathers. But not them missing, but them behaving abusive.
I told that to my kids' dad. He was too busy trying to get back with me so much that my children were able to point that out. They eventually told me to stop trying (I drove to wherever so that he could spend whatever time with them -- up to 1k+ mile trip one way). They used to tell their friends that he was dead before he actually passed away. So, I'd have to disagree. Oh.. I left the relationship with the encouragement of my children & both sides of the family due to his horrible treatment (I was the ONLY female he put his hands on). No matter how hard I tried -- he was still absent. 🫤🫤
The whole mess is so sad. Yes, she was very young. She was so at risk, mom, she needed limits set by her mom. She also set the young man up for quit a surprise. You dont really believe guys are up for that ?
13:00 *MONTHS* went by before police located David? How does that happen this day & age? Like come on. U have his name and address. Do a stakeout. Or more. That's ridiculous. "Oh we finally *heard from him* four months later" 😡just your prime and only suspect, that's all. Smh
This comment section is insane. We don't know if she reached for the gun. He was lying the whole time. He was down low and killed her out of shame and rage. I cannot believe what people are focusing on.
Someone really confident in themselves would not use Meth. I’m being totally judgmental but it sounds like the mother is on pills. It makes me wonder why her high school aged child was out meeting strangers in the middle of the night? It appears that the victim had a lot of issues, even though Nikki was accepted by her family and friends, there was still more going on. A lot of times, trans children/teens think transitioning will solve their problems but it does not.
It should ALSO be punishable by law if someone engages in any form of sexual contact (including kissing) without informing the other person they are trans. As a man I can tell you I would suffer serious trama if I discovered I was kissing another man dressed as a woman. The mere thought makes me nauseous. I don’t care how trendy it is to be trans; the law should protect those who are misled in this way. There’s absolutely nothing acceptable about non disclosure.
I totally agree. I am Hetero and the thought of being with a Woman pretending to be a man is nauseating. It would make any of us feel violated and traumatized. Nikki brought this on himself!!!! That was a nasty thing to do to someone.
With heterosexual males, full disclosure is mandatory. If you are transgender, you owe it to the other person to disclose this before you allow yourself to become intimate with them. This is just common decency. On the other hand, he had no right to react the way he did and take someones life. This tragedy was preventable.
Being different, irresponsible, troubled, addicted, foolish, etc... does NOT mean you deserve to be MURDERED! Nikki was vulnerable and had the misfortune to come into contact with a homicidal bigot.
WTF, no offense, but can we stop pretending that this is some do good, regular 17 year old girl?This is the most over produced, forced episode I’ve ever seen.
So disturbing, the relationship mother/daughter. sorry to say, but if her mother would have take her mother responsibilities serious, there would maybe another result with Nikki. as we say here in switzerland: don‘t give your child always what they want, give them, WHAT THEY NEED!
Also, when you’re underage the parent has the right to have you go to rehab whether they like it or not. The teen may throw a fit but ultimately is grateful to be introduced to sobriety.
This video made me sad and angry at the same time. This death was absolutely preventable! Her mum was lax. She allowed too many things to go unchecked. If my child came to me with a drug problem im forcefully taking you to rehab i dont care how many times you fall of the wagon. We will keep trying. As for the perpetrator hope he goes to jail for life
No matter what the reason Nikki was getting into fights, her mother should've stopped that. There's no reason as a preteen or teenager to be getting into physical violence for any reason, that's not the way to solve problems. It makes me sad that this mom really loved her daughter but did wrong by her anyway. It's a shame. They both needed someone on the outside who was sensible to talk sense into them both.
This guy is acting all self righteous, yet he this righteous grown adult was okay with meeting & doing drugs with an underage teen in the middle of the night, with the intention of sleeping with them
I think that it would be best before getting intimate with someone to let them know if you are trans, NOT for fear or danger of reprisal, but because there's less chance of hurt feelings on either side. It's NOT an excuse to harm someone, but it makes sense to discuss it before getting sexual.

I guess you BOTH missed the fact that Nikki was not living with either of her parents, huh?
But, how about we just stop BLAMING victims? ANY of the victims. Victims include family and friends.
@@jrambo7495exactly, their mom was more of a friend than a parent. Let them do whatever they wanted so the mom could be the cool one on the block
She was 17 and living with friends. Regardless, what right does a parent have to keep their teen captive because they were struggling with substance use a year prior?
@@randibgood a teen and not living with their parents is CRAZY
The killer was quick to point out Nikki’s lifestyle was a biblical sin yet glossed over his lifestyle of picking up whom he thought was a vulnerable girl for casual sex, giving them alcohol and drugs, and murdering them. Some defense.🙄We’re commanded to LOVE. GOD judges our sins.
he talks about nikki but was having pre marital sex..sad sorry
yes- i got stuck on this as well. "The killer was quick to point out Nikki’s lifestyle was a biblical sin yet glossed over his lifestyle of picking up whom he thought was a vulnerable girl for casual sex, giving them alcohol and drugs, and murdering them". horribly sad & digusting.
He didn't give her drugs. She was already a meth addict
Seems to be common amongst religious people. Always quick to judge others, while forgetting their en "sins" shortcomings.
Yes. Even if Nikki was biologically a woman she was still an underage and vulnerable child. I wonder what other kids he’s picked up, drugged and assaulted before this case.
This story is so sad, this baby was lost before she was lost. She had loving people, yet no guidance.
No she did not. To love means to seek the best, even at a cost.

I see plenty of these kind of tragic endings, and usually the accused found out way too late in the relationship, or meeting that the person they were talking to was actually not a woman. Just say when the flirting begins that you are trans, because if you are proud of who you are (as you should be, like we all should trans, straight, in between etc), then you should have no problem saying it when someone is flirting with you.

@@jnbr7520 Yeah, went for the gun because she was about to get strangled to death. My god, does everyone here side with the murderer?
I would say switching genders didn't make that person happy as they thought it would so they started using meth.
@sharimeline3077 you do realise that biological women get murdered all the time due to living life dangerously but for some reason the trans community took ALL of the blame away from Nikki despite her making bad decisions repeatedly and sleeping with complete strangers for drug money. Trust me if this was just an average biological woman she would 100% receive scrutiny for her behaviour and actions.
Seems like the mom wanted to be more of a 'yass queen' bestie than a mom to her kid, you can tell how how delusional she is about Nikki's behavior, the behavior she facilitated.
Exactly. Nicholas needed guidance not friendship. Good parents nowadays are hard to find.
Lack of proper parenting here.

And apparently from NICHOLAS's childhood, momma just gave in and enabled confused behavior instead of being a mother and guiding HIM.

Another fact is that this was still a 16 year old.. not really mentally in a place to make decisions with clarity of consequences that would follow, that’s where guidance comes in, especially with meth, I’ve heard it’s difficult for full adults to shake, can’t imagine 16 and living an adult lifestyle 🥹
I was once 14 and despite being a “good girl”, sometimes I lied to my parents that I’m staying at my friend’s place and instead was hanging out with a group of guys that were doing drugs and drinking. I was madly in love with one of them… now I’m 33 and I’m thankful that poor decisions didn’t ruin my life, but there’s no chance I’d understand anything back then. Just remember that you’ve also been a child one day and probably did stupid things..
@@anasi1509being 17 and changing your body would ruin a lot of future decisions as many transgenders have regretted their decision.
@@surelooksresourceful6032 well it’s their choice after all. As that shouldn’t explain or justify them being killed
Can't you see it's very lower class. The mother was clearly troubled herself.
Still too young to decide to be a girl. So many teens regret their choice to "change gender". But those promoting trans ideology aren't honest with the world about that.
24:31 Well that’s a beautiful sentiment. But. It’s such a shame that Lisa’s drive “to do right by her child” didn’t kick in earlier, ie while her child was alive and spiraling. *My comment is NOT based on the matter of transgender status.. we can remove that factor from my point entirely.* Because her child, trans or not, was clearly struggling and on a very destructive path as a school suspended, violent fighting, shot 6 times, teenage METH addict for goodness sakes. Red flags were a-flying and gave Lisa multiple opportunities to “do right by her child”.
This is beyond tragic.
You don't have to qualify your stance. Nothing you said was wrong. She was a terrible parent to a troubled, drug addict, violent kid. Period.
Any focus on the murderer. You've taken the time to comment on everything else in this story. Except the murderer? Is he just invisible in this story?
@@kerrykent7194 There is no need, as that what this video focuses on. What it doesn't focus on, is the bad parenting that contributed to that young girl's spiraling and eventual death. Since it doesn't get enough attention in the video, people feel the need to highlight it here. None of the comments concerned with the mother were aimed at excusing the killer's actions.
In no way is it ok or justifys anyone being murdered. I think its important whether straight, bi, gay or transgender that people are open and honest prior to engaging in any type of intimate contact with anyone, in many times it will prevent disappointment from both parties and allow the other person to make a decision whether they want to pursue something with a man, women or transgender.
True but nikki was honest before it became intimate and this is what happened!!

@@thedeviouspanda Well it's simple really, his mother knew he was a boy but accepted him as a girl. The dynamics change when its an actual girl. His confidence is that of a young man and not of a 16 year old biological female who are generally more cautious and would not behave like him. His mother no doubt took many a verbal beating from him so she let him do whatever. Not her fault, she's only submitting to the alpha male.

Right?
Nikki died because her mother wouldn’t parent her… a kid out in the middle of the night meeting random men, doing meth, skipping school… that’s on her, regardless of her gender.
She was seventeen. No matter how you twist or turn it and whether she did or didn't make the right choices, she was a teenager. She did not deserve to die

exactly. So many things were wrong but at the end of the day she was a minor and did not deserve to be murdered. The comments disgust me.
how do people mix up deserved to die and was living a risky lifestyle that would increase your odds of dying? I haven't seen one comment say she deserved to die, quit twisting people's words like you don't have the ability to understand
Honesty is really important. But, the guy could have walked away.

Honesty up front would have kept Nikki from being in that situation. Unfortunately, people living dangerous lifestyles are more likely to die.
Very true, she was continually putting herself in high risk situations, eventually you're going to run out of luck. If only she'd been honest to the guy from the very start, she'd still be alive.

How can a person do such a thing to another human being and still close their eyes at night. So heartbreaking. Meeting people on social media is very dangerous, and 99% of people lie about what they look like or who they are. You cant start a relationship on a lie.
He was on meth…. Yeah I believe he was acting crazy when he was rejected! Sad story for everyone involved
When he said, "this was such a humiliating experience for me," after describing how he brutally murdered her. How self-centered and disgusting can you be? So cruel.
Based on the comments, I believe many will agree. I can Starr by saying in no way, did the victim deserve to be killed.
With that said, multiple people, including the victim, could and should have made better decisions with simple common sense and better judgment. If transgenders or anyone else for that matter wishes to be respected and treated with care, then they should also respect and treat others with the same respect and care. By doing so, that would include being up front about sexual gender.
Just my thoughts!
Agree 100%
well, duh, that goes without saying saying...
Uh, when you make excuses for your kid hitting other kids in school a bunch of times 'but it was always to defend other kids', you're a bad mom. Then drugs and truancy and doing whatever else, while underage?? And don't even start with this 'when trans people go missing they're often dead' stuff- that's the case with EVERYONE.
That mother should be charged also!!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if he already knew she was trans when he went to pick her up, and that he picked her up with the full intent of murdering her. It's tragic that some people's discomfort with their own sexuality results in them projecting it on others. Sick. Just sick.
Respect to all transpeople and their decision to live their life the way they want and need.
There is no justification for the crime. But, being deceitful to others by not revealing their own identity is unacceptable as well.
Sure, be who you are but but be honest and open about it.
Nicki Minaj should not be anyone’s idol.

Nikki had a history of hitting people her even said, “I would get called for her hitting people.” Why is it hard to believe that he freaked out on him after feeling rejected because he pushed him back and called him disgusting?
This could’ve ended up differently if Nikki was up front with who he truly was. I am not saying the guy that killed him is in the right he should’ve killed him. This is just sad the mom basically let Nikki do what he wanted she even said it. “I just let Nikki lead the way.” Kids are not supposed to lead the way as parents we are supposed to guid them and protect them. This mom didn’t do that. Truly sad
These people just act like it’s normal to be shot six times. “She was a tough cookie.” No, she was very lucky.

What a terrible person this Murderer was. Took someones life instead of walking away. Maybe he is the guilty one?
This is why fathers are needed in a family period!
Nope. This is why at least one safe parent is needed.
That the mother phrased it as "She led the way, I followed" says alot.
Also: single mothers mostly didn't chose that past from the get-go. Many were forced to leave in order to survive. So in the end, it often is to blame on the fathers. But not them missing, but them behaving abusive.
I told that to my kids' dad.
He was too busy trying to get back with me so much that my children were able to point that out.
They eventually told me to stop trying (I drove to wherever so that he could spend whatever time with them -- up to 1k+ mile trip one way).
They used to tell their friends that he was dead before he actually passed away.
So, I'd have to disagree.
Oh.. I left the relationship with the encouragement of my children & both sides of the family due to his horrible treatment (I was the ONLY female he put his hands on).
No matter how hard I tried -- he was still absent.

If you are confident in who you are then you should be totally upfront. Especially if you are about to enter a hookup or a relationship.
Drugs are bad, moral of the story parenting is a full time job.
Someone really confident in themselves would not use Meth. I’m being totally judgmental but it sounds like the mother is on pills. It makes me wonder why her high school aged child was out meeting strangers in the middle of the night? It appears that the victim had a lot of issues, even though Nikki was accepted by her family and friends, there was still more going on. A lot of times, trans children/teens think transitioning will solve their problems but it does not.
It should ALSO be punishable by law if someone engages in any form of sexual contact (including kissing) without informing the other person they are trans. As a man I can tell you I would suffer serious trama if I discovered I was kissing another man dressed as a woman. The mere thought makes me nauseous. I don’t care how trendy it is to be trans; the law should protect those who are misled in this way. There’s absolutely nothing acceptable about non disclosure.
Yeah I agree.
It should also be punishable to meet minors
But I agree as well
I totally agree. I am Hetero and the thought of being with a Woman pretending to be a man is nauseating. It would make any of us feel violated and traumatized. Nikki brought this on himself!!!! That was a nasty thing to do to someone.
You dont have to agree with the lifestyle in order to feel empathy for a mother losing her child. ❤
Terrible parenting.
With heterosexual males, full disclosure is mandatory. If you are transgender, you owe it to the other person to disclose this before you allow yourself to become intimate with them. This is just common decency. On the other hand, he had no right to react the way he did and take someones life. This tragedy was preventable.
Don't hang out with meth addicts.
Being different, irresponsible, troubled, addicted, foolish, etc... does NOT mean you deserve to be MURDERED! Nikki was vulnerable and had the misfortune to come into contact with a homicidal bigot.
WTF, no offense, but can we stop pretending that this is some do good, regular 17 year old girl?This is the most over produced, forced episode I’ve ever seen.
Right. "Poor Nikki missed the bus because she was out till 3am doing meth just like most girls at age 16 🙄."
This episode definitely felt like that, a lot of forced propaganda and not fair coverage of both sides like they are known for. Very agenda-y
37:51 just a baby…” should have been home?
So disturbing, the relationship mother/daughter. sorry to say, but if her mother would have take her mother responsibilities serious, there would maybe another result with Nikki. as we say here in switzerland: don‘t give your child always what they want, give them, WHAT THEY NEED!
Also, when you’re underage the parent has the right to have you go to rehab whether they like it or not.
The teen may throw a fit but ultimately is grateful to be introduced to sobriety.
If a white male hillbilly got shot six times over a meth deal gone wrong, you’d all be clapping. The bias in this episode is down right disgusting.
I’m a hillbilly and you have offended me
Nikki's parents and friends have failed "her", supporting "her" delusion of being trans.
Be TRUTHFUL and everything will work out just fine for EVERYONE involved.
This video made me sad and angry at the same time. This death was absolutely preventable!
Her mum was lax. She allowed too many things to go unchecked. If my child came to me with a drug problem im forcefully taking you to rehab i dont care how many times you fall of the wagon. We will keep trying.
As for the perpetrator hope he goes to jail for life
No matter what the reason Nikki was getting into fights, her mother should've stopped that. There's no reason as a preteen or teenager to be getting into physical violence for any reason, that's not the way to solve problems. It makes me sad that this mom really loved her daughter but did wrong by her anyway. It's a shame. They both needed someone on the outside who was sensible to talk sense into them both.
This guy is acting all self righteous, yet he this righteous grown adult was okay with meeting & doing drugs with an underage teen in the middle of the night, with the intention of sleeping with them
The main message from this is don't do meth!!
Whole lot of victim blaming and transphobia in this comment section. It's a weird thing to be afraid of.
