    Mr. Bailey’s remarks demonstrate a righteous and calm rebuke to those who need it, and sincere thanks to those who deserve thanks. This is the way to express grief. Heaven bless this family.

Calling for people not to harass the Fucci family, and to express empathy with the grandmother, and to also shed light on the tragic murder of Ayanna Belton, which I only know about from Bailey mentioning her, to thanking local journalists. My condolences to the Bailey family.

      Aiden got her number from a relative of his who knew Tristyn, and called her on some ruse to get her to come out.

      ​@vietman79 well no one cares about what he loses. This wasn't a petty crime. Theft. Fighting. Not even shooting and making it fast. He stabbed her over 100 times. Majority of adolescents aren't stabbing no where near that degree. So I hope it hits him. He lost his privileges due to his own choices. She didn't. So hope it hurts when a bigger person gets him. I hope he struggles at night when he can't sleep. When he can't walk out the house as he'd like. That still wouldn't be enough. He belongs there. You wanna be a thug, then play thug games.

    It saddens me that at the time of the murder, Aiden was only 14 yet had such evil inside him. It just doesn't make sense for ANYONE to have that much evil inside them that they could commit such a heinous crime. Something went wrong with that kid and no one seems to know a thing in his family. There's usually signs that your kid is not acting like themselves or somethings off. Why couldn't his mother see this? Why couldnt his dad? For Christ sakes he had knives named "picker" and "poker" and not one of his family members knew of this either? Who was even taking care of this kid? Truly mind boggling. Rest in heaven, Tristyn. You'll forever be young and beautiful. This world will never forget you.

May he never get out of prison, because if he does, society will not be safe from him killing again. He is a serial killer caught before he could kill again!

    It's true that the murderers brains weren't fully developed; the area in the brains that fully understands the consequences of one's doings is fully developed at about 23-25yearsof age. BUT, at his age he fully understands what death is, he knows you don't come back once you die. He also understands that stabbing a person over one hundred times leads to death. What he didn't understand at his young age, was what would happen to HIM afterwards. The consecuences of his evil act. Well Aiden, NOW you have been enlightened of the consequences. NOW you know what happens to a person after he murders a child, or any given person.

      Agreed- the whole family is extraordinary! The impact statements their other children wrote were amazing- very powerful- in a situation where it would be impossible for one to express the impact of such a crime and such a loss- they did and in doing so you definitely also felt a lot of their parents pain! Every one of them are very special no doubt they have been blessed with genuinely wise loving strong parents. Forest Bailey being the man that he is and knowing his wife is obviously just as special- will be the sole reason this tragedy isn't going to destroy neither theirs or the other children's lives. This family will continue on to spread more goodness where it is needed so much in this cruel world. And tho it may take some time- they will be able to have truly happy lives again! May God continue to Grace them! Which is exactly what Tristan would want.

I see how and why the Bailey family is so close and so strong. A wonderful man and father. To acknowledge the grandmother in her grief, took a big man. It was evident that she was still in shock and truly, truly sorry for the Bailey family and their loss. I felt sorry for her. My thoughts and prayers will continue for the Bailey 7!

Can anyone explain why?? He had a girlfriend and it seems it was known so what on earth made her leave the comfort and safety of her home??
    Her father and family have been the most graceful, courageous and strong during this horrific time which would break many.

    I am so proud of this father for stepping out of his own horrific grief to caution us as parents and our children of the dangers of bad choices. His beautiful daughters life was taken senselessly because of a decision to leave the safe haven created by a loving caring family and lured her into a dark and dangerous citation that robbed her of her beautiful life and changed the life of so many that loved her. While it will not change their circumstances I believe that it will save lives. Thank u so so much for your courage and strength.
