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.
What an outstanding and dignified man. Every word was heartfelt and graciously delivered. Tristyn, we can feel you had a wonderful dad and family. R.I.P.
As a grandma, thank you for speaking to Aiden's grandma. I appreciate that you had the heart to say that. That was very kind. Sincere hope for peace for your family from Pittsburgh
@Mandi Taylor I'm not sure he comes from a good family, although I didn't watch the whole trial. It seems like grandma might be in denial. For her to say that she never saw the siblings fight or argue was very telling.
What a beautiful man. And what a beautiful family. I’ve followed this case from Australia and have been incredibly moved and saddened by this tragedy. God bless you Tristyn. Rest in peace.
I’m from Australia too and have followed this. May God give this family the courage and strength to go on knowing they will see their beautiful daughter again one day. RIP beautiful girl.
I watched it live from Australia, and seeing him attempt to collect himself in order to continue with the reading of the verdict- it was clear how much it distressed him. Also, just a handy hint, it’s impressed :) Have a great day!
Having lost my nephew, 25yrs. Old. Was murdered. I know the feeling of grief and loss. Keep strong Bailey family. His off the streets. The vile villain
As did I, lost my cousin in 1989 to being shot at 19 years old. He was a great kid, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. May everyone find the peace they need and deserve. God bless
What an absolutely stellar human being. Very impressive. The entire team - law enforcement, legal reps, and other support - was incredible. It was really nice to hear how well everyone worked together, and how much the hard work was appreciated. My heart goes out to Tristyn, her family, and to all who cared about her. There is no greater loss than the loss of a child, especially in such a heinous manner. There is no justice, but a life sentence is the best outcome there is.
What an amazing family. The dignity and grace they have demonstrated is exemplary. I hope they can move towards greater healing now that that monster is caged for life just as he always deserved
I cannot express my profound respect and admiration for Mr. Bailey. The loss he has suffered is immense, and not only was he able to give a dignified and respectful response, he managed to show untold amounts of empathy. 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.
Sneaking out as teenagers was always a thrill! remembering the times we were potentially unsafe also makes me realize it wasn’t all that worth it looking back at it now
This family is filled with such class and beauty that their precious daughter’s legacy will be one that will shine forever. This man not only thanked everyone who helped prosecute this case, but their families that sacrificed their time apart. He went on to name and thank so many including bailiffs. I have never seen a family so grateful for so much. I truly hope they are able to take their steps forward with peace and I have no doubt it will take so much time, but sending love and strength to all of you.
Dad BailEy you are an exemplary man to give the content from your final statement. As a parent, I am not so sure I gave such grace to BOTH sides of the case, the family of Aiden -wow. YOU are an incredible family and a show of TRUE humanity. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!
As an outsider it's easy to forget how many people work together to help each other in situations like this. What an absolutely awful thing to go through. I'm just so glad his family had people looking out for them.
I can’t stop crying so senseless to put this poor family and all of these very professional people thru this horrible case, but they found each other and I think that’s beautiful.
I feel this murder has had an affect on everyone and anyone who has watched this from the very beginning. From the time she went missing, to this very day that Tristens murderer was finally put where he belongs. In prison for life! 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! Prayers to this family! ❤️ Tristyns murder was terrible and horrific, but she saved many other young girls and womens lives from this serial killers hands! She is a hero in this world! ❤️
I haven’t followed this case all that closely, but from Mr Bailey’s remarks, it sounds like the defense attorneys said some deeply shameful things to a grieving family. I can’t imagine what kind of people it takes to call out a grieving family on anything… 😮
@End Times Are upon us You clearly don't know much about this case, or the circumstances. Tristyn was the type of young lady who had a heart big enough to care about everyone, even the problem kid at her school. Tristyn listened to other kids who needed a sympathetic ear. Aiden got her number from a relative of his who knew Tristyn, and called her on some ruse to get her to come out.
@End Times Are upon us r u kidding me? Just STOP your bad behavior and STFU. WHAT a truly awful thing to say, not to mention unfactual. I've been reported. U don't get to make such unfounded & absolutely unnecessary & GROSS criticism of a grieving family who lost a young daughter. Your stupid statement is such a stark, SHOCKING contrast to the eloquent, amazing speech of Tristyns dad here. My god. Shame, shame ON YOU. Learn something & better your atrocious behavior.
This is heartbreaking, if my daughter had been taken in this way, I would not have his strength to speak that way, or to be honest, the strength of the family to carry on. May God bless you all, your respect to his grandmother shows the person you are, the family you are, and the fact you can refer to other cases, and show care is unbelievable. It's a tribute to humanity that those who have lost young people can carry on, and try to help, God bless you all x
This was so incredibly sad but also so beautiful. I watch a lot of true crime shows and there are tons of stories where the police department dropped the ball and the family never gets justice. It’s amazing to see how well everyone worked together and how close everyone became and how everyone truly cares about this family ❤
When I was 14, I knew the difference between life and death. This sentence will not bring that beautiful young girl back. I cannot imagine what her parents are going through, knowing how she died. I hope they are able to find some type of peace. Heartfelt condolences to Tristyn’s family and friends. 😔
It's not just the young girl's life that is destroyed, Aiden's life is destroyed also. He will never experience the joys of having his own family, owning your own house, getting your first pay check, etc. I can't imagine what both families are going through right now. Aiden's mentality will change once he hits a real prison with convicted murderer's just like him who have nothing to lose.
@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.
Hey Michelle! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your UA-cam channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!
After seeing so many trials lately, it is obvious that victim advocates are such a very important resource for grieving families. What a great career path this would be - compassion, understanding, empathy and a strong sense of justice.
@Wayne Williams - The word is *_counselling,_* - meaning "to provide support or therapy" - not _counciling,_ which is not a word, though "council," an advisory group or panel, is.

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.
A child of 7 knows the difference between right and wrong. Dood his dysfunctional undeveloped brain tell him to throw the knife into the lake? He knew it all. Thank God he was caught that , let loose is ur next serial killer. Smart work detectives.
What a strong Dad even in his grief he highlights the Ayanna Belton case! Healing Blessings to this family. I pray that their beautiful angel Tristyn embraces them all daily. I pray that her amazing smile greets them each time they close their eyes. ❤😢
What a wonderful dad and citizen Mr. Bailey is. To you and your family, my sincerest condolences to all of you. May God richly bless you and heal you…the reuniting with Tristyn will be sweet.
This is what Justice looks like. So much respect for them all and I can only wish for so many that have faced similar tragedies with the same respect and urgency. It was well said. 👏🏻Humanity at its finest. Being someone who has lost many people and watched my own family lose friends and family members in the same horrible way, I am glad to see them get justice for there daughter and respect to the justice system/media for coming together like they did and showing compassion to them.
I’m still crying. What a wonderful man I’m sure his heart is broken but he’s a believer, and he knows he will see his beautiful daughter again one day.

His words to the universe tore me up. I need to tell my kids those things even more often than I do. Every day is a gift and we never know what day may be our last or the last of someone we love. My heart breaks for this family and all parents who have lost a child of any age, but to lose one so young and in such a senseless and horrific way far exceeds my ability to imagine their pain. I'm so sorry for the innocent members of both families and to all who knew Tristyn personally. It sounds like she was a very special young lady who touched so many lives in positive ways.
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
This man demonstrated more grace and serenity than I thought humanly possible given the circumstances. How he remained so well spoken throughout is simply amazing.
Awe. Mr Bailey gives me encouragement for the people of the USA. Such a exceptional example. For how horrific this tragedy is, something great will happen. Mr Bailey is an excellent speaker and advocate for his community, St. Johns. We’ll look forward to hearing from them in the future. ❤️
Do not want to imagine the agony this family must feel every day, no words or even faith in God can take this away. I hope this monster never gets out of prison, the family must have this certainty at least.
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.
His mom had a bunch of kids. They were clearly not paying any attention to him. Parenting to her was scrubbing Tristan’s blood off his blood soaked jeans and shoes.
Such a powerful presentation from the father of Tristyn Bailey. Probably the most difficult time in the lives of your family and yet you handled it with grace, compassion, and increased awareness that the family of victims must endure. God Blee you and your family.

Mr. Bailey's statement under the circumstances, is PLATINUM to infinitely. This statement and his gratitude to all deserving of it: words to the media, families, and other relevant entities, his candor- amongst other qualities- are exceptionally noteworthy, and surpassed any that I've seen. Thank you Mr. Bailey! To you and your family, sorry for your loss!😢❤
Mr. Bailey. You are an incredible human being. Patient, strong, kind hearted, understanding. Just like his beautiful daughter. He was able to control his anger for that pos. Not alot of Dads would show the amount of grace and maturity AND vulnerability he has shown. My heart goes out to you and your beautiful family.... One of the cases that will haunt me forever....
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 could only wish to have such a wonderful family such as the Bailey's!! God bless you all and I pray you all find Peace and I'm so sorry for your loss !! She's so much more than a loss I can't find the words to express it !! You are wonderful people and I will pray for you all everyday ❤️
News4Jax showed a great deal of compassion for Tristyn's family, which you don't see in news broadcasting. Thank you so much for that! My heart and prayers go out to the Bailey family.
Wow his speech amazed me and his heart is good even after the loss of his beautiful daughter. He is one amazing man and as I see stood his ground stayed strong for his family and showed so much compassion that some may not much respect to this man
My heart breaks for this poor Family on the tragic death of their beautiful daughter Tristyn the strength and composure you have shown during your grief and loss is truly compassionate, keep strong I can’t imagine what you are going through, Am glad this disgusting,vile, evil , narcissist has been given a life sentence, i hope he is never released, I hope he is tortured every single day , Your beautiful Tristyn would be so proud of you all and will be the brightest star in the sky, RIP beautiful Tristyn ❤️
What a dignified and measured response from Tristyn's Dad Forrest......I can't imagine the pain he is going through having to relive it time and again with the trial and now having to step up to the media and relate such heartache, truly shows the strength of this Dad and the undying love he had for his precious daughter.
My condolences. I know your pain and loss all too well. My mother was murdered when I was 7 years old. Her murder was senseless. I was 7 back in 1969 and she was just 29. I only knew my mother for just 7 years. I still can't make sense of why it happened in the first place. My prayers are with you and your family.
Wow this man is unbelievable. Worse thing that could happen to any father and he is handling this with such grace and class. If everyone could have his heart.
Human beings standing together when it really counts is an amazing thing to witness. Blessings to this family, the defendant’s family, the community and legal & law enforcement teams/organizations.
He's a great man. His personality is a reflection of Tristyn's. The values he taught his children. I really feel for him and his family. I hope this message reaches you. Always in my thoughts. I will prayer for you going forward.
Mr. Bailey's expression of deep care, concern and gratitude for all the people in the county that had a part in prosecuting and securing a conviction in such a difficult case involving young teens, but mostly, for his beloved daughter, Tristyn. 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!
For the sheriff to break down and choke up the way he did….you know he has had to see the crime scene and photos etc! Knowing the loss this family has suffered tremendously! I cannot fathom!
Condolences go's out to the family I'm sorry for your great loss of your beautiful daughter. I watch the mother in court, I cried, for the mother, 🙏🏼 🕊 🕯 ✝️
God bless this family .so happy he got life. For this Dad standing their giving a commitment like he did was incredible. This is so Heartbreaking. 💔💔💔💔💔💔
What a lovely man- this loss is beyond anyone’s imagination. My prayers everyday for them. This will remain a most painful suffering for them. May God comfort them always.
Mr. Bailey, I appreciate the dignity you showed during such a sad time. My prayers go out to the Bailey family. Tristan had to be amazing because you are truly amazing! I wish you all the best. Continue to hold on to the memories. I couldn't imagine such a tragic loss. You are a strong person. I thank God for the strength he has given you through this time of bereavement. ❤❤
It’s sad what these parents are having to go through. I can’t even imagine. The killer will have a long time to think about what he did. Prison is not going to be easy on this killer .
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. May God bless and keep your family and comfort you going forth and dealing with something no family should ever have to experience.
Wow Mr Bailey you and your Family our amazing just as your Beautiful daughter So so Heartbreaking but so well Spoken my Love and Prayers too you your Family and friends and may your Beautiful Daughter Rip Thank you Judge and everyone well done 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
I pray this family can heal, I know that's easier said than done. But they are so precious and have taken such a high road that it's admiring. I know they will do wonderful things in Tristyn's name. REST EASY BABY GIRL❤
Listening to the defense attorney speak in court was more painful each time. She was appalling and even more knowing that she mailed letters containing a survey. Yuck
Such a terrible thing to do! The defense attorney sent a survey on the death of her daughter to Tristyn's Mom!💔 Her daughter was killed on Mother's day!😰
Such touching remarks from Mr. Bailey. I've had to lose both of my son's. Not to such unspeakable violence but my heart understands their pain and loss. My heart broke and I cried as the family members gave their statements about their beautiful daughter, sister and granddaughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the future without your girl. Tristyn Bailey forever a beautiful angel who will continue to watch over her loving family.❤
What an amazing family the Bailey family is, been following this case from Australia and I’m so glad the beautiful Tristan got justice, may you RIP sweet girl x
What an incredible family and a beautiful father and man. So well said. Dignity, integrity and articulated so well. You are truly a tribute to your daughter. ❤ I hope the Sheriff’s comment “today you are not the Bailey 7 you are the Bailey 927!”. I hope that backing and support can hold them up in their grief and the long, dark road they continue on to find a place in their lives for their loss….
God bless this family. I’m so sorry that you have to go through such horror as the brutal loss of your child. I lost my daughter on her 25th birthday in 2020 yet my heart goes further out for this family as my daughter passed from natural causes and to hear the sickening manner of the loss of your beautiful beloved little girl is so so heart breaking. And dad is so noble and so poised 😢I completely salute you sir. Again I say God please bless and cover this lovely family and keep them in your bosom 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
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.
if he wanted to be angry he would have that right I mean his mother did allegedly over up for him
You can’t tell someone how to express their grief
GodBless you All
Amen

Impressed by him not empressed
I was impressed by his calmness as well.
This father is so wise! What a gift he was to his beloved daughter, now lost to him and the family and now to her family, as well.!
This father has a courage and grace that reaches beyond comprehension.
Having lost my nephew, 25yrs. Old. Was murdered. I know the feeling of grief and loss. Keep strong Bailey family. His off the streets. The vile villain
I'd love Mr Bailey to have 10 minutes alone with that evil scum
Sorry that happened to you. Sending you hugs from someone who lost a loved one in the same way.
As did I, lost my cousin in 1989 to being shot at 19 years old. He was a great kid, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. May everyone find the peace they need and deserve. God bless
Thank you for sharing. Having a family member murdered is heartbreaking. Not everyone gets justice.
I'm so sorry for your loss I can't imagine

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.
❤😂😢 God Bless your family l
Strength, courage, gratitude, eloquence embodied in this speech and in this father.
A thousand times YES!!
What a wonderful husband and father...to stand up and beside his family with such class and kindness. God bless you all.
Hey Michelle! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your UA-cam channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!
Wow the Dads speech was incredible. So very humble and appreciative of everyone. What a special family. So sad that this has happened to them.
That dad is an absolute legend! RIP
After seeing so many trials lately, it is obvious that victim advocates are such a very important resource for grieving families. What a great career path this would be - compassion, understanding, empathy and a strong sense of justice.
@SComment Great point. So many different types of counciling that are available, Dealing with grieving families must be the most demanding of all!!
@Wayne Williams - The word is *_counselling,_* - meaning "to provide support or therapy" - not _counciling,_ which is not a word, though "council," an advisory group or panel, is.
depending on where you are at could also be counseling with 1 L...
A beautiful father. What a statement.

Rest in peace Trisyn Dear baby!🌹🕊💐🌷from Virginia
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.
Your conscience grows as a child by being taught right and wrong. He has grey matter missing in his brain.
A child of 7 knows the difference between right and wrong. Dood his dysfunctional undeveloped brain tell him to throw the knife into the lake? He knew it all. Thank God he was caught that , let loose is ur next serial killer. Smart work detectives.
@@LisaPeterson227 That seems most likely to be the case. That is not normal behavior in any way, shape, or form.
I call bull on that. That lil motherfr was aware of consequences cuZ!!!! May he rot cuZ!!!!!
He knew he would be incarcerated if he was caught. That's why him and his mother TRIED to cover it up.
May God continue to bless the Bailey family .❤
What an admirable man. I don't think many of us can picture handling this with such grace.
What a strong Dad even in his grief he highlights the Ayanna Belton case! Healing Blessings to this family. I pray that their beautiful angel Tristyn embraces them all daily. I pray that her amazing smile greets them each time they close their eyes. ❤😢
What a wonderful dad and citizen Mr. Bailey is. To you and your family, my sincerest condolences to all of you. May God richly bless you and heal you…the reuniting with Tristyn will be sweet.
Wow this guy is on another level of greatness. All I can say is wow
This is what Justice looks like. So much respect for them all and I can only wish for so many that have faced similar tragedies with the same respect and urgency. It was well said. 👏🏻Humanity at its finest.
Being someone who has lost many people and watched my own family lose friends and family members in the same horrible way, I am glad to see them get justice for there daughter and respect to the justice system/media for coming together like they did and showing compassion to them.
An Eye for an Eye is long gone, probably for the best.
I’m still crying. What a wonderful man I’m sure his heart is broken but he’s a believer, and he knows he will see his beautiful daughter again one day.

that family is lucky to have such father figure
A very emotional time. God's blessings for the family.
His words to the universe tore me up. I need to tell my kids those things even more often than I do. Every day is a gift and we never know what day may be our last or the last of someone we love. My heart breaks for this family and all parents who have lost a child of any age, but to lose one so young and in such a senseless and horrific way far exceeds my ability to imagine their pain. I'm so sorry for the innocent members of both families and to all who knew Tristyn personally. It sounds like she was a very special young lady who touched so many lives in positive ways.
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
Forrest that was amazing, you did so well dude! It was very brave to get up there at all and you spoke clearly and calmly!
And for this father to thank Aiden's grandmother speaks volumes about this family !!
This man demonstrated more grace and serenity than I thought humanly possible given the circumstances. How he remained so well spoken throughout is simply amazing.
💯💯👍 Yep
May God Bless this dad, his family 👪, the Judge and everyone on the Justice Team. ❤
Mr. Bailey showed courage and respect throughout the whole response. RIP Tristyn and may the family find peace
Awe. Mr Bailey gives me encouragement for the people of the USA. Such a exceptional example. For how horrific this tragedy is, something great will happen. Mr Bailey is an excellent speaker and advocate for his community, St. Johns. We’ll look forward to hearing from them in the future. ❤️
Do not want to imagine the agony this family must feel every day, no words or even faith in God can take this away.
I hope this monster never gets out of prison, the family must have this certainty at least.
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.
Oh I agree.. I don’t feel that they cared enough to see anything that was going on w/him & instead tried to cover it up
His mom had a bunch of kids. They were clearly not paying any attention to him. Parenting to her was scrubbing Tristan’s blood off his blood soaked jeans and shoes.
Such a powerful presentation from the father of Tristyn Bailey. Probably the most difficult time in the lives of your family and yet you handled it with grace, compassion, and increased awareness that the family of victims must endure. God Blee you and your family.

Mr. Bailey's statement under the circumstances, is PLATINUM to infinitely. This statement and his gratitude to all deserving of it: words to the media, families, and other relevant entities, his candor- amongst other qualities- are exceptionally noteworthy, and surpassed any that I've seen.
Thank you Mr. Bailey! To you and your family, sorry for your loss!😢❤
Mr. Bailey. You are an incredible human being. Patient, strong, kind hearted, understanding. Just like his beautiful daughter. He was able to control his anger for that pos. Not alot of Dads would show the amount of grace and maturity AND vulnerability he has shown. My heart goes out to you and your beautiful family.... One of the cases that will haunt me forever....
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 could only wish to have such a wonderful family such as the Bailey's!! God bless you all and I pray you all find Peace and I'm so sorry for your loss !! She's so much more than a loss I can't find the words to express it !! You are wonderful people and I will pray for you all everyday ❤️
News4Jax showed a great deal of compassion for Tristyn's family, which you don't see in news broadcasting. Thank you so much for that! My heart and prayers go out to the Bailey family.
Wow his speech amazed me and his heart is good even after the loss of his beautiful daughter. He is one amazing man and as I see stood his ground stayed strong for his family and showed so much compassion that some may not much respect to this man
My heart breaks for this poor Family on the tragic death of their beautiful daughter Tristyn the strength and composure you have shown during your grief and loss is truly compassionate, keep strong I can’t imagine what you are going through, Am glad this disgusting,vile, evil , narcissist has been given a life sentence, i hope he is never released, I hope he is tortured every single day , Your beautiful Tristyn would be so proud of you all and will be the brightest star in the sky, RIP beautiful Tristyn ❤️
What a dignified and measured response from Tristyn's Dad Forrest......I can't imagine the pain he is going through having to relive it time and again with the trial and now having to step up to the media and relate such heartache, truly shows the strength of this Dad and the undying love he had for his precious daughter.
My condolences. I know your pain and loss all too well. My mother was murdered when I was 7 years old. Her murder was senseless. I was 7 back in 1969 and she was just 29. I only knew my mother for just 7 years. I still can't make sense of why it happened in the first place. My prayers are with you and your family.
Wow this man is unbelievable. Worse thing that could happen to any father and he is handling this with such grace and class. If everyone could have his heart.
I just want to hug this man. 😢
Grace. The epitome of grace. ❤️🩹
Thank you Mr. Bailey for your words of love and caution. God bless you and your family.
I am amazed that Mr Bailey and the family are trying to teach about the dangers Thanks.
Human beings standing together when it really counts is an amazing thing to witness. Blessings to this family, the defendant’s family, the community and legal & law enforcement teams/organizations.
The judge is a grand and fine man.
He's a great man. His personality is a reflection of Tristyn's. The values he taught his children. I really feel for him and his family. I hope this message reaches you. Always in my thoughts. I will prayer for you going forward.
I have never heard such an amazing statement by a man whose daughter was brutally taken away. ❤ Speaks volumes of the type of parents they are.
Mr. Bailey's expression of deep care, concern and gratitude for all the people in the county that had a part in prosecuting and securing a conviction in such a difficult case involving young teens, but mostly, for his beloved daughter, Tristyn. 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!
Just a Canadian guy with some really wet eyes after watching that. May you heal and find peace and laughter once again. I am sorry for your loss.
For the sheriff to break down and choke up the way he did….you know he has had to see the crime scene and photos etc! Knowing the loss this family has suffered tremendously! I cannot fathom!
Condolences go's out to the family I'm sorry for your great loss of your beautiful daughter. I watch the mother in court, I cried, for the mother, 🙏🏼 🕊 🕯 ✝️
God bless this family .so happy he got life. For this Dad standing their giving a commitment like he did was incredible. This is so Heartbreaking. 💔💔💔💔💔💔
My prayers go out to the young lady and her family
What a lovely man- this loss is beyond anyone’s imagination. My prayers everyday for them. This will remain a most painful suffering for them. May God comfort them always.
Mr. Bailey, I appreciate the dignity you showed during such a sad time. My prayers go out to the Bailey family. Tristan had to be amazing because you are truly amazing! I wish you all the best. Continue to hold on to the memories. I couldn't imagine such a tragic loss. You are a strong person. I thank God for the strength he has given you through this time of bereavement. ❤❤
It’s sad what these parents are having to go through. I can’t even imagine. The killer will have a long time to think about what he did. Prison is not going to be easy on this killer .
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. May God bless and keep your family and comfort you going forth and dealing with something no family should ever have to experience.
@goldenage - I think you meant "dangerous *situation,"* not "citation" (a ticket).
Wow Mr Bailey you and your Family our amazing just as your Beautiful daughter
So so Heartbreaking but so well Spoken my Love and Prayers too you your Family and friends and may your Beautiful Daughter Rip
Thank you Judge and everyone well done
🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕
May God bless this family beyond belief.
I pray this family can heal, I know that's easier said than done. But they are so precious and have taken such a high road that it's admiring. I know they will do wonderful things in Tristyn's name. REST EASY BABY GIRL❤
Listening to the defense attorney speak in court was more painful each time. She was appalling and even more knowing that she mailed letters containing a survey. Yuck
Such a terrible thing to do! The defense attorney sent a survey on the death of her daughter to Tristyn's Mom!💔 Her daughter was killed on Mother's day!😰
I sure hope this disgusting lawyer loses her job & license
Such touching remarks from Mr. Bailey. I've had to lose both of my son's. Not to such unspeakable violence but my heart understands their pain and loss. My heart broke and I cried as the family members gave their statements about their beautiful daughter, sister and granddaughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the future without your girl. Tristyn Bailey forever a beautiful angel who will continue to watch over her loving family.❤
What an amazing family the Bailey family is, been following this case from Australia and I’m so glad the beautiful Tristan got justice, may you RIP sweet girl x
What an incredible family and a beautiful father and man. So well said. Dignity, integrity and articulated so well. You are truly a tribute to your daughter. ❤
I hope the Sheriff’s comment “today you are not the Bailey 7 you are the Bailey 927!”. I hope that backing and support can hold them up in their grief and the long, dark road they continue on to find a place in their lives for their loss….
God bless this family. I’m so sorry that you have to go through such horror as the brutal loss of your child. I lost my daughter on her 25th birthday in 2020 yet my heart goes further out for this family as my daughter passed from natural causes and to hear the sickening manner of the loss of your beautiful beloved little girl is so so heart breaking. And dad is so noble and so poised 😢I completely salute you sir. Again I say God please bless and cover this lovely family and keep them in your bosom 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The grace of God over Mr. Bailey's life was in full display when giving his remarks about his daughter's killer.
Such a great message for kids and parents. May God gives you the strength to heal
Well that was a real tear jerker, condolences to the family.
Cried like an infant fam. Bless them
