Police can find reasons to arrest people for breathing the wrong way but all of a sudden can’t find any criminality in two juveniles being forced to sleep outside in freezing weather? Useless parents. Useless police. Useless Child “Protective” (yea, right) Services. I hope they young men get the long term help they deserve
The house is huge, you know it probably has a basement. There has to be plenty of room inside somewhere. I simply do not understand why some kind, loving people can not have children, yet monsters can. 😢
The fact that it's not considered abuse or negligence is wild to me. The police can show up, and you legally can have your kids sleeping outside, and it's freezing.
Something is very wrong on many levels, by the family, & by the law. When I was about 12 or 13, my friend & I would sleep out in her backyard in the late spring early summer, once & awhile. Hot July & August would be bad enough for these kids, with freezing temps, this is ludicrous & should be illegal. It’s a form of abuse, no matter what the law there says. Some parents are just cruel & damn sick, I don’t care what these kids did wrong. Hmmm maybe have the parents sleep outside for months, & let the kids sleep inside, fair is fair.
Maybe we should feel bad for society for letting this thing go on since July! And the cops said they couldn't do anything about it at first-was an investigation ever done to see why they were even sleeping outside on their porch in the first place? I think the news media knows more about this matter(certainly the neighbors, relatives and "friends" of this family do) than they have told us, but why haven't told us more of the details remains a mystery to me! 12-4-24.
The two teen boys do not NEED to return to that home period...Their parents are worthless and abusive...JUST EVIL. How could they do that...Thank God for the community and news reporters helping save them be safe, fed, and warm.
12 and fourteen I was working had my first job laying sod for Mr. Pete when I was 8 when my son was five I took him to work with me and taught him about a paycheck! They need jobs not handouts
These parents let a 12 and 15-year-old sleep outside by themselves in inclement weather; meanwhile, another parent in another part of the country is facing criminal charges because she let her son walk to town by himself. Someone please explain this Insanity to me. 🤯
@@iamlegend8120 Older than the state minimum required to leave a child unattended. Which in GA is 8 I believe and this kid had just turned 10 or was a couple days away from his 10th birthday. Cops are jerks.
I they should be jailed! You have people getting their children taken away for less. This is ridiculous! What did they do that they have to live outside for months as punishment? And idc if "they want to" theyvare kids and dont know any better but i strong dont believe they want to freeze.
That's a damn shame that parents would treat their children that way I salute the neighbors for standing up trying to help and calling the police that's how we need to take care of our neighborhoods we have to care about each other we don't have to be in each other's business but it doesn't her to speak up when you see something wrong especially with children
Agree 💯 this situation Screams See something Say something. Thank you to All trying to help these children. Some people don't need to be parents. Show their faces.
“Nothing illegal is going on “!!!! YES THERE IS, IT’S CALLED CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT! These so called parents need to be arrested!!! DPD is failing them! Imagine the physical and emotional pain these boys are in, having to sleep in freezing temperatures! As a parent, I’m irate!!!! There are dogs left in the freezing cold in Detroit, which is heartbreaking… now children!!!! Thank God above for loving, caring, proactive neighbors!!!! God bless them!!!
What a crazy story. I hope the kids make it. I’m really glad the neighbors are on the job. That’s what community is all about. Helping and watching out for each other. Kudos to all who got involved. Your hero’s.
This is sick and sad at the same time I wouldn't care what my kids do wrong they will not be sleeping outside on the porch those parents need to be put in prison 😠 it makes me soo pissed every time I think about it I pray 🙏🏽 that they get a forever home were they will never have to experience being put out
Could never be my pastor how is he teaching anyone about the word of Christ, What kind of pastor is he to do his own children like that, what’s going on inside that church 🤷🏽♀️ that needs to be looked into as well. What church is it I “ might” go investigate and be nosy check it out
If they don't want the kids, give them a chance somewhere else. They are probably collecting benefits for them. Those are not real parents, they are sperm and egg donors.
This is frightening those children definitely have been abused mentally. To not leave or accept help from anyone while existing under those conditions. The police nor CPS could find a crime of abuse or neglect is also telling. New leadership in both organizations needs to be seriously considered. And the father being a pastor is alarming all members of his congregation needs looking at it most likely more of a cult.
That's exactly what I was thinking, that these people might be a part of some weird cult. Which is probably why the police and CPS didn't want to do anything and "never found any crime or neglect" against them for doing that to their children.
It's not against the law to sleep on your front porch. The weather has become an issue, now that it's cold. I like sleeping outside and I'm guessing that the boys prefer it as well. It shouldn't be considered a punishment, and there are mixed reports about that. They didn't accept help because they didn't need it. There's obviously issues and dysfunction in this household, but nothing is considered abusive. If my father was a pastor, I would have been at odds with him while I was a teenager. It's just a sad and unfortunate situation. I'm glad they are staying with friends and out of the cold.
Nothing they can do wtf 🤬 that’s child abuse you don’t put your kids out in the freezing cold with windchills down to single digits someone needs arrested and thrown in jail 🤬🤬🤬
It looks like they will get in trouble if they except any food or help. They have to be removed from the home in order for them to be safe. If the parents discipline them like this in front of everyone, then just imagine what they do when no one is looking!!!
the parents threw their kids out on the porch to sleep in the cold, yet weren't arrested for child abuse??? this is a disgusting miscarriage of justice.
The fact that NO ONE said anything about it until now? What's wrong with you people? How could nothing illegal have been going on? This was child abuse / neglect.
CPS does nothing until the media gets involved. The way children are treated in this society is deplorable. You don't have any rights until you are 18.
Did the parents allow them to have the choice of sleeping on the inside floor, and they choose outside. I know the parents should be smart enough to not allow this during such extreme temps, but some just are not smart about most simple things in life. I grew up poor, and could see the boys choosing the porch like a campout. The parents need to be taught how to parent.
That’s what I’m thinking. I know people are quick to judge, and the parents shouldn’t have allowed it in such extreme temperatures, but given the fact that the police said there was nothing illegal happening it sounds to me like the boys weren’t forced to sleep outside but chose to. And maybe the reason the 12-year-old was sleeping inside now is because the parents DID force him to come inside once it got cold enough but chose to allow the 15-year-old to stay outside. I mean, the boy had on a super thick coat and had tons of blankets. This could have been his act of defiance, for example. Maybe the parents told him, “If you can’t get here at curfew, don’t bother.” So instead of coming home on time, he willingly chose to sleep outside as a way to defy their rules. We just don’t know the full story. Again, the parents should NOT have allowed this to continue once it got below freezing, but if the police said it was’t illegal then maybe they know something we don’t.
How is this NOT child endangerment, child abuse or neglect..unreal. you can get in trouble if you leave your dog out in cold weather, but he was told nothing criminal is happening. Smh
They have been sleeping out on the porch since July? And they 12 and 14, they are minors. And they arrested and charged the lady whose 12 year old son walked alone a mile in the neighbourhood? Seriously I am just speechless.
If my cat goes out and isn't in by dark I don't go to bed until I know he's safe and warm in the house so how can you sleep in a warm house and bed while your kids are outside freezing? What kind of pastor is this. No wonder so many people are leaving churches it's because of these so called men of God when God is raging in His heavens when he sees what they are doing in his name
I grew up in an uninsulated farmhouse in new England . If it was zero outside it was zero in the bedrooms. Now at age 86 I sleep better in a cold room.
Police said there was nothing they could do????? How is the children sleeping on a porch in the freezing cold not child endangerment / neglect? It is my understanding that child neglect/endangerment is illegal in all 50 states. When children are left home alone inside with no heat or food, that is considered endangerment/neglect. Why not this?
I gave my kid a spanking for stealing and CPS came to my house 3 separate times. They got kids sleeping outside in freezing temps and the authorities dont even care?
Never mind the cold, is it safe for a minor to be outside all night unattended on the west side of Detroit? Would you sleep there????? How can this not be illegal???????
Thank God for the neighbors, people in the community, and activists because the police and cps didn't care no more than the parents. Thank you Jesus for covering these kids. I pray they get in a safe place and get the emotional help they need.
So it's not illegal to kick your under 18yr olds out of the house as long as they are on the property?!?! Wtf is going on in the world today??... This is abuse mental, psychology, emotional,, whether they found any signs of neglect,, at this point what are they considering neglect. If sleeping outside on the porch for the last five months isn't considered abuse and neglect then I don't know what they are thinking....
I'm glad the Prosecutor's Office is getting involved with this case. The Parents should be charged with Child Neglect and Endangerment. Also, I'm glad the Teens are in a warm place now.
These neighbor saw these boys sleeping out there all summer long. Only the cold is what made them think I should step in here. Not the summer heat not the flies not the potential lack of food but the cold. They should’ve been calling the police sooner they should’ve been calling child protective services sooner.
They called months ago. Cops and CPS came out to the house and nothing was done. The only reason there's something happening now is because the media got involved. The neighbors did what they were supposed to do.
I seen some comments that said maybe the kids were bad, and even if that was the case, its a reflection of bad parenting. And it still doesn't make it right! This is abuse. Don't support this foolishness!
Im a 91 yr old curmudgeonly #NavyVeteranKorea n retired county law enforcement officer. Out of our 5,, our 2 sons acted up pretty bad a couple times. Yes I banished then to the HOBO shed in our barn a few nights. But NOT in the middle of winter. They straightened up too. But I used this method only 2×. As my Mrs stated I could not do it again.

I seen some comments that said maybe the kids were bad, and even if that was the case, its a reflection of bad parenting. And it still doesn't make it right! This is abuse. Don't support this foolishness!
Yall know since July but now someone call CPS and Cops
This is sick.
This is actually despicable and heartbreaking and the father is a pastor at that, just horrible 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Im a 91 yr old curmudgeonly #NavyVeteranKorea n retired county law enforcement officer. Out of our 5,, our 2 sons acted up pretty bad a couple times. Yes I banished then to the HOBO shed in our barn a few nights. But NOT in the middle of winter. They straightened up too. But I used this method only 2×. As my Mrs stated I could not do it again.
What is wrong with people 😢
