In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Thomas Ferguson and analyzing it from an educational psychological and legal perspective.
You know my father was put in prison for 15 years for running a con where he'd spray fruit trees for bugs, but he'd use water and food coloring instead of pesticide. I'm talking about small orchards. This was in the 90s. He was convicted a month after I was born. He got paroled when I was 13, but he had a traumatic brain injury from fighting in prison that deteriorated, and he passed when I was 19 a sophomore at Texas Tech. This guy was given probation after probation for violent crimes until a kid wound up dead, my father never committed a violent crime, he came up with a dumb con to make a quick buck for his extremely poor family and prison killed him I got 6 years with him.
The system is so rigged and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I’m absolutely sorry for you and your family. His love for his family lead him to do what he did. It’s not fair what happened to him, and I at least hope in those 6 years you had with him, you had some good moments to remember him by ❤
I feel for you bro, I’m from the Uk. And have watched enough crime docs and seen how the U.S. Penal System works. It is crazy. I feel for you and your family because your dad, certainly can’t have been expecting such a harsh punishment , either. Apparently the U.S. take their agriculture very seriously, so if he thought he could make a few extra bucks to feed the family but the actual offence is really frowned upon and your getting 15 years in the pen for that. Sheeesh… Seriously in the Uk, he might get banned for from working in the industry and suspended sentence or a fine would be the likely outcome. I’ve also been to prison. And we can thank god for small mercies, I think. I listened to a podcast last night about a book called fish. A young kid from the suburbs. Green as they come in prison terms. This guy T.J. Pursell. Is the author, similar background to me. But this guy in the us jail was gaslight by experienced older convicts. Super friendly, plied him with drink, then turned on him and took turns r@ping him and they flipped a coin for who hee belongs to now. White guy from the suburbs in jail in 78, first timer ⏱️ . This kid was being super naive admittedly. My point being. The prison system in the Uk, is so much more civilised, I was in prison with quite a famous old con in the early 90’s a reasonably well known hard man ex boxer ( lol) Hands like shovels ( total narcissist) anyway it was said to me. Never to go in the shower when Paul Sykes was in. Coz he would k.o. You and have his way with you. Now I mentioned this story on a UA-cam documentary about Paul Sykes ( ironically his dad was a prison officer, too) This Ex con was giving me pelters saying there’s no such thing as jail bent. If your doing long enough, I bet there is. Going back to my point. The u.s. is so vast. It’s just so hard to not run like meat packing factories. I mean the transportation from jail to jails sounds like the 7 th circle of hell. God bless you and father. I hope this makes sense, because I haven’t fully edited it yet.
If he went through so much effort actually spraying trees, why not get actual pesticides.. sad he got so many years though and had that injury. Wasn't deserved. He should have been slapped with a fine, not prison.
That's true and many who have done wrong and gone to prison feel it deeply against their soul and continue to grow. Others who have psychopath need to be found out, because their souls seem irreparable.
@@johnanthony9923did you even watch it? Because that’s not what happened. In the phone call she asked her sister to contact detectives, the sister did so and then detectives listened to the call and interviewed her. She didn’t want to protect the woman, she just didn’t want to be a snitch. Being a snitch in jail will get you severely beaten.
Just take a moment to consider that Jeremiah is receiving more love and compassion from the strangers in a UA-cam comment section then he did from his own mother.
I went to school with Jeremiah, we would sit next together in science class and would hangout a lot at school, I remember one day he moved schools and I never saw him again, next year 8th grade we had some counselors come into the classrooms, explaining our previous classmate had passed away. I still have his account following me on Instagram. I'm 19 now and it's so heartbreaking looking back and seeing what happened to him. He was such a sweet person and had the funniest things to say, he was a good friend and I would love to see where he would be today. Rest in Peace Jeremiah, everyone still thinks about you and misses you more and more everyday.
This is so sad! Thanks for talking about him, it's nice when the victims get attention especially sweet ones like him, sorry for you losing your friend 😔
Bless you for keeping his memory alive and commenting. I can’t fathom how anyone could hurt a child much less kill one. I will never understand. Rest In Peace Brave Boy.
I was agreeing with the inmates sister the entire conversation. Her sister seems to be truly kind heart while being seriously straight forward. She loves her sister abundantly.
@@shallawnmarshall320 I loved how direct and no nonsense, facts sister she was. The contrasts of personality types and behaviours in this story was wild.
Too bad the scumbag took the cowards way out. I would rather see it done in a gas chamber or whatever method they use. And of course the woman gets less time than the other dumb ass.
“My Mom just Quit on Me” Those are some of the Saddest Words I’ve Heard! To feel your Mom, the person who should Love You & Protect You, has Quit on you, absolutely Heart Breaking! That sad excuse of a mother, should serve just as much time as the Loser that took that Little Boy’s Life!
Ugh... It infuriates me to hear that Thomas took the easy way out and that Jordan and Tracy got what basically amounts to a slap on the wrist for all the abuse that Jeremiah had to go through. I hope they get jumped in prison, daily.
It's so sad nobody came to the Jeremiahs rescue from this horrible family. I grew up in a very abusive household. I was finally rescued at 7 after a near death beating. School kept asking me why i can't sit down and things went downhill from there. I was rushed to the hospital and stayed for a week. Then foster care till i was 16. I'm still to this day terrified of my dad. As an adult I've seen him twice, and he acted like he didn't even recognize me. Why can I remember him, but he didn't acknowledge me. Walked right past me. He has a whole new family and new life. Idk now that I'm older I have been so interested in the abuse cases. Some of the videos being back memories I had forgotten about. Sometimes, I feel like I need to talk about it and release these emotions. I guess I'm doing that now. I struggle, but surprisingly I walk around everyday with a big ol smile thanking God for another day.
That's because you're a strong beautiful woman! 👏 🙏 🙌 we need start helping children in some way shape or form. Volunteer, something. I'll be doing some research for sure. Stay strong mama, you are NOT alone.
Glad you are doing well and survived your previous "family." You know exactly why your "father" doesn't recognize you. He is ashamed and in denial at the least and is not bonded to you. I pray his current "family" is in a better situation. Stay safe. God bless.
I appreciate you guys @liMe-leMon and @soexpeewee. I will definitely look into some volunteer work. That's a very good suggestions. Your kind words made me smile.
@@brii.badazz Your such a strong woman & my heart & love go out to you for all the pain & trauma you went through. Your a survivor & an amazing woman to be able to share some of your sad story with us. Thank you 🙏💕
@@brii.badazz I hope you are having a great day/evening first and foremost. I think we need more awareness anytime a child is involved and anything you can do even if it's just a friendly smile or maybe a hug might just be what makes their day better is absolutely worth it. I turn 45 today and my mother has been difficult throughout my life and has made some horrible decisions and life choices, but I think it's gotten worse. Over more than a year now my mother abuses me every chance she gets basically, such as telling me I'm always wrong, I am the problem, that I don't care.... All while I struggle to survive as my life, my dogs, and my home that my dad left me are being threatened on a constant basis since my landlord (a neighbor offered to help keep my house getting taken for property taxes) forced me to have his violent employee that can't go 24 hours without going through withdrawal if he doesn't have his meth. Not just humiliating and belittling me, actively supports those 2 and constantly we have yelling matches where I'm just standing up for myself and she refuses to even listen to me. Me and my 5 dogs are in a bedroom with a metal gate in front of the door in MY house and he's still tried to attack me out of the blue for whatever reason he decides is relevant. Police don't help, they blamed me last time I callled for wasting resources. Of course the landlord and roommate were there so I couldn't explain anything or show video or audio recordings I've had to keep since this all started and he tried to attack me before even entering my house. Landlord refuses to do anything other than actively do whatever I don't want just to put more pressure on me. I had to start putting videos on FB and here on UA-cam as well. I can't type anymore. Hope you have a wonderful day young lady... And everyone else too! Smile! - it makes people wonder what you're up to. 🍻🌎❤️🌮🎶
Well I only see a criminal using a loophole to get away with her crime by "doing the right thing"... come on get off the gas. I def think the crime is horrible but once you get into ohh these are good criminals well I don't see it so grey. My son said he wanted to go into law enforcement... I said this... Unless your plan is to never violate anyone's civil rights and that you never ever do anything illegal or abusive of the powers.. You should never take a job that requires a huge amount of temptation unless you really want to serve and protect... don't.. but if you are serious and what I said is you mission I want you to know that makes me very proud... just know that crooked cops create other crooked cops so if you see that at all do not be a boyscout resign and locate a office that is integrity in words and deed... Because crooked cops are the worst of all since it is rampant and a problem but there is sheriffs and law enforcement who take the public trust serious and my biggest problems is that their is not very serious consequences to crooked cops... if you are not a cop do not got trying to act like one.
There are literally millions of drug addicts who are not murderers . There are millions of abuse victims who do not abuse people. People only do what they want to do
That poor poor child. When that sorry excuse of a mother was talking about how tough he was, I broke down. He was a baby and never should’ve had to be strong. And on top of it, he was still telling his mom that he loved her after all of that. That poor boy was failed by everyone around him. May he rest easy now. Such a heartbreaking case.
That part hit home because my mother used me as a sacrifice so my fathers beatings would land on me instead of her. Karma took revenge for me, they deserved everything they got
@@hellhound1389 I’m so sorry that happened to you. All children deserve to be protected and those who fail to do that deserve every bad thing that comes to them. I hope you’re happy and healing now
It kills me when mothers and fathers wont even let their little boys go through a crying stage. Like theyll be barely able to walk and run into something and its nothing but your ok, meanwhile if it was a daughter theyd run to em and fawn over em for half an hour. Alot of parents expect the emotionlessness of a man from a boy as soon as he is old enough to cry. THIS story makes me so angry and BOTH his parents are so evil and still he smiled for pictures. I hope hell exists thats all I know.
Man. Something about reading those texts from jeremiah really got me.. between him asking his mom if shes mad at him because she didnt come pick him up.. to the little guy saying his mom quit on him and he doesnt know what to do.. that poor kid. All he wanted was some love. Shame on his parents for failing him like that. Lifes tough enough as it is.
1:08:36 paused to read the coroner's report and it says his left eye was displaced from thr socket, tears were found in the scalp, left cheek and left ear. Also that he had on a diaper and several others were wrapped around his neck and head. That is where i lost it. Thinking of this sweet beautiful young boy crying in agony as he's tortured and mutilated is so heart wrenching. How can people be so evil? He suffered so much and its just so hard to fathom that Jordan nor his own mother helped him. I hope these monsters suffer for many many years.
Seeing Jeremiah’s unanswered texts to his mom was heartbreaking. That poor boy just wanted his mother to love him, he wanted her to care about him, he wanted to not have to doubt it anymore. He worried about her and wanted to know she was ok, and she couldn’t give him any of that. I see my kids every single day, and I can’t imagine ever seeing a text from them and just ignoring it, especially one saying “I love you.” This woman disastrously failed on so many levels, worst of all was the man she kept around. I just don’t understand some things.
Jeremiah was an especially introspective kid. He knew he was in a bad situation, including his own drug use, and was looking for ways out. He probably could have overcome his beginnings if he had been allowed to live. That's probably another reason why they killed him -- not only was he a threat to the (gag) "alpha," he was showing them up by showing signs of sanity and responsibility.
Male children are always bothering their moms and female caregivers and trying to stop them from living an independent life. It's like an instinct they have to hold strong women back even at such a young age. Very sad.
My mom randomally texts me I love you and if I don't respond I feel bad. I'm 36 I could only imagine if I was a kid and texted my mom and she didn't respond
the inmate who told did the right thing, but it bothered me that she struggled with doing it. If I heard someone hurt a child, I’d tattle so fast my head would spin, even if it was my own mother. And the mother is just as evil as the stepdad for allowing him to hurt her child. Makes me so angry.
I firmly agree. I don't think the mom would have ever been brave enough to say anything without her telling that other inmates and then the sister talking sent into her. I think that that was all due to the sister being the one to talk some sense into her. I'm so glad it worked out that way though and I hope that the mom doesn't do a whole ton of time because yes, it is her fault too but not as much as that raging douchebag. He threatened them time and time again and I guess I might be scared as well but when you're sitting in prison, that would be the best time to say something and she could have. Edit- she's a disgusting monster too. Now knowing she was in on it too. Because like I said above though, why wouldn't you say anything when you're both locked up in prison? That's pretty telling right there
That poor baby, he felt so unloved by everyone in his family and he still would try to tell his mom that he loved her. In another lifetime he’ll be born into a loving family that he deserved in this lifetime. Rip Jeremiah
I was thinking the same and seeing it in writing broke me. All these poor children, Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos, Noah Cuatro and countless more, my heart hurts more than ever for these innocent souls. I cry and ache for the physical pain they had to go through but what really gets me right in the pit of my stomach and soul is how unloved and hopeless they must of felt. How I wish I could go back in time and save them and shower them with love and kindness. My only hope is their souls do come back in another life and they are treated with all the love and respect they deserve.
@kennethlandert8350 we all perceive and have different beliefs. And we believe it does work that way. So in your heart he'll not get to experience what love within a real family is like. In ours, a family who has been trying for months-maybe years, for a healthy beautiful baby boy, will recieve the ultimate blessing from A higher power, and they both will be a blessing to the world bc of their union. This "lord" in my experiences must be greedy, and not want folks to learn from his most gifted, most blessed creations. How are the younger generations suppose to learn?
My heart breaks for Jeremiah. May that innocent child rest in peace. His parents are the worst monsters I’ve ever heard of. They did not deserve this kid.
Drugs are horrible, but she intentionally didnt stop the abuse cuz she might catch a charge..GROSS#@!@@!@. ..although i hear THE foSter system is a nightmare too. GET CLEAN STAY CLEAN AND MOVEAWAY FROM WHERE YOU ARE . GOING from clean right back into the sess pool you came out of and trying to stay clean is a challenge most fail at. As a mom I can say these bitches evil for not getting the help to stay clean. SELFISH!!
@@awkwardautistic There are always worse. But beating your kid until his theet fall out, urinating on him and torturing him for days is probally one of the worst deaths you can think of.
I have a three year old son. His mother and I arent together. Hes going through a phase where he cries whenever I leave, asking me to stay, and I can't. I would do anything for him. He looks up to me, tells me he loves me and gives me hugs. I would do anything to protect him, and hearing what these people did, fucking breaks my heart and makes me angry. Give me 5 minutes alone with them. Please.
This woman is complete TRASH!!!! As a mother you'd think your first instinct is to protect your children at ALL, and ANY COST. My heartbreaks for Jeremiah.
I was actually very touched by the love and respect those officers showed Jeramiah even though they never met him and while that sick twisted animal mother doing her acting. Jeramiah rest in peace
Can we just talk about that sister?!?!?!?!?!? I was even taking some of the advice she said with being able to handle anything that comes her way. We allllll need to be a human like her! I hope she knows how amazing she is!!
I am so appalled and saddened that not a single person did anything to help Jeremiah😢😢how someone could do that to another person let alone a child is beyond disgusting. RIP Jeremiah❤
I was just about to say she needs to call her lawyer, I am SO GLAD she did. She deserves to be rewarded for showing strong character, even in the way she empathized for her prison friend. She's clearly a young person who just needs redirection.
Do inmates receive routine counselling or have group sessions while incarcerated?yesterday I heard some congress woman say they plan to set up help for inmates to get them ready for outside life again....retraining for jobs....help with that whole process to keep them from returning to jail...so they can be successful when released! Maybe schooling? Sure hope that happens!!! And this Biden administration has enabled criminals to run free with little to no accountability....increasing crime everywhere. New laws need implemented too. Take all the money 1 million per person I think it was said yesterday for slavery reparations and use it for this purpose with inmates! We do not need to support 5 million illegals when we have homeless everywhere in this country too!!!
She was released early, so they say but don't say if she was released to the public or another jail unfortunately but I agree with you, she showed a lot of character here.
@camvin575 yeah most people in jail would be terrified to say anything Honestly in the guys section, even going to get health checkups is worthy of being interrogated by the whole unit to see if you snitched and if someone gets taken away and charged with something they'll usually blame the last person to leave the unit whether that be to go to the health wing or "visitation" w.e it may be if you leave the unit people will be suspicious of you being a rat
I watch a lot of true crime and feel for all the victims but every once in awhile a victim just really gets to me. He had the sweetest face, kindness and innocence. And those texts to his mom are heartbreaking. I'm sorry Jeremiah. You were too good for this world, you deserved so much better.
I am so sad knowing Jeremiah will never see a peaceful life free of the chains put on him. I can only hope heaven is real so he can enjoy a happy existence somehow despite all of this
Same. My daughter is 14 and I can't stop crying despite watching so many of these because I'm so paranoid of losing her it's like a strange compulsion to know what is out there and then the pain of knowing no matter what I know it just hurts for the victims and that I can't truly completely and unconditionally protect her from weirdos out there. However a mother who lets this happen is so, so sickening and infuriating
My mother went to prison for running an insurance scam, not for violently abusing, neglecting, starving, kidnapping, and imprisoning her children. There were multiple reports, arrests, and restraining orders, photographs taken of our marks and bruises, attempts by my dad and grandma to get custody of us, they didn’t care. But how dare she steal money from a few rich people. I hate the injustice system here. Child abusers and domestic abusers are ignored and covered up here because no one wants to believe the abused children and partners.
I’ve watched all your videos and videos that involve children always get to me the most but this story made me cry. It’s crazy to me the evil there is in this world and the fact that things like this happen to children often. Also, someone in the comments mentioned his mom is out of prison?? She should’ve been given life for what she allowed to happen to her son.
Tracy deserves the same sentence for letting this man beat her son, throw chemicals on her son and finally kill her son and she did nothing to protect he kid and no telling what he did to that little girl
She said he treated her very nicely so I'm gonna assume he touched her sexually and rewarded her for that by not abusing her physically but I could totally be off base
What happened to this poor child is beyond disgusting, and I hope everyone who caused harm to Jeremiah rots in jail. There sentences were beyond unjustified and they most definitely deserved more time in jail. What disgusting people, I just hope Jeremiahs sister gets help and support from the people shes around of for being forced to witness this. May Jeremiah rest in peace and be free from the pain he suffered.
I don't know what kind of mom she is, but she's a junkie from what her son said. It's a shame she chose drugs. I hope when she gets out of jail, she cleans herself up and lives a better life and takes care of her daughter the way she should have her son. I'm not at the end of the video yet so I don't know if the sentence purred to any prison time related to this or not. I do think she has something of a conscience and a heart because she was so upset about her son that she talked to her cellmate about it. So she's not heartless.❤ Her poor daughter, she's probably got PTSD and something akin to Stockholm Syndrome. I hope she heals and grows up to have a lovely and fruitful life.❤
@@ritawashere5787still feel the same after finishing the video? Hearing her phone calls after his death giggling and telling her sons killer how much she loves him? I felt the same way about her up until that point. I’ve lost a child in a FAR less brutal manner, and the devastation that first year was indescribable.
@@b_sus87 no I do not feel the same. I was going to edit my comment but I got distracted. She's the grossest of all human beings. When I made my comment, I had thought she must have felt some type of guilt that made her confess to her cellmate. But from what her cellmate shared, I trust the cellmate. She actually has a heart. If the cell mate says the mom had no remorse, then I believe her. That child was treated worse than an animal. The fear that both of them live through. I hope the daughter is able to heal and thrive in her life. I fear that she will have struggles from her traumatic upbringing.. My twelve-year-old daughter and I were victims of a violent home invasion and I was raped in front of her. Thank God my daughter wasn't. But still, my daughter struggles that great deal. She has guilt and she has told me she wished she had done things to help. My daughter is now 24 and she still struggles with anxiety and PTSD. I'm quite certain that this girl watching her brother mistreated and murdered, will struggle the same way. * sorry I have to edit my comment, I dropped my phone and it sent it. I'm so sorry for the loss of your child. That pain is something I don't wish on anybody. ❤️
I started tearing up when they read Jeremiah's unanswered texts to his mom. It wasnt the most horrific part of the story but it made everything feel so much more real. Just to think how alone and neglected that poor boy was. He still loved his mom no matter how horrible she was to him. Never bring your children around people who you know are violent/dangerous. When you do that you made a conscious decision to abuse your kids, whether you hit them yourself or not .
My heartbreaks for this boy. Jeremiah deserved so much better. His mother failed him as well as everyone else. It's absolutely heartbreaking. He is gone but will never be forgotten . R.I.P
It’s sickening that Tracy only received a 4 year prison sentence (not 12 years. She was sentenced to 21 years. The judge ordered 9 years be suspended. 2 years spent on parole and 5 probation. So she’s out now) Poor Jeremiah. RIP ❤
If any demon or psycho claims they live in an oppressive, society caused by men, just show them this video. Even if the state kept to their word about the 12 years, that still would've made me sick to my stomach. The double standard towards the worst of the worst is absolutely, vile.
Being viewed as a "rat" in prison can literally get you killed. Women in prison can be more vicious in their street justice then men in prison, so I've been told by Corrections officers. Her courage to come forward is incredible. However being viewed as a baby killer in prison is much worse. I commend this woman for coming forward.
Are you defining viscious as "less viscious"? There's myriads of stats with large margins of separation to demonstrably show that's not the case lol I wish that was a true factoid but idk where you're finding this data.
I really feel for the girl that came forward wrestling with that horrendous shit she got told in confidence from her friend like risking being a snitch in PRISON just to do the “right thing” without any benefit to herself like damn that’s brave props to her honestly Edit: damn she got early release Nevermind. I mean still good for her she gets a snitch pass- the unjustness of the universe really just gets me sometimes. The texts break my heart like this kid wants a mom so bad like he was born and was denied everything because he was unlucky enough to be born into that family. Seeing your parents become unsafe people you have to avoid after losing all trust and hope that they ever will be there for you or protect you is so terrifying and lonely. And seeing them turn into people who genuinely despise / loathe you is 10 times worse. What Jeremiah went through is *unspeakable*. I can’t imagine the physical and emotional pain he suffered throughout his short life, and the absolute helplessness he must have felt after being slowly tortured by the people that literally brought him into the world - and eventually killed for simply for being alive. Like these kids were literally born into hell. They were completely robbed of any support system, let down by their community, and devastatingly betrayed by their own parents - who are untreated addicts in desperate need of severe help themselves in order to become into human and take care of themselves, let alone others, as they were probably raised in a similar sadistic abusive chaotic environments creating a diseased familial cycle that just continues to spread terror - like so much outside intervention was needed here I feel like the world failed these kids I got no sleep again God damn im emotional today Also I agree that all the adults are at fault here but an physically abused person (that’s also struggles with addiction is a person in need of dire help, that is a situation that can be impossible to leave unscathed by oneself - and victims are often completely brainwashed and controlled by their abuser. It doesn’t excuse engaging any crimes, but this woman and all the children are clearly terrified of the father - who is threatening to kill everyone. When you have fear beaten into you so deep it can be impossible to escape, and delusional thinking kicks in for survival. People have seen loved ones morph into someone unrecognizable when in this situation. The biggest monster here is the “man” that thinks kicking the shit out of people half his size and strength and sometimes killing them is what makes him a big man. Imagine being a grown man threatened by a 14 year old. Imagine having to hold your entire family hostage by gunpoint in order to prevent them from trying to escape you. What a miserable existence. Waste garbage human. Trash. Glad he’s dead. I can’t tell if the mom is genuinely evil too or has been brainwashed over the years to make herself more like the man who abused her - which affected her and her kids life. Edit: nevermind just got to the part where they’re like yeah this woman did this in cold blood and had no remorse. I mean she could have disassociated - but nahhhhh This is how I watch and comment on videos now. Like my own personal diary. 😊
This is one of the most heart shattering stories I've ever heard. My heart breaks for that baby. He deserved so much better. I will never understand people who hurt children. And that coward took the easy way out. Makes me sick. May Jeremiah's soul rest in peace. I hope his sister is with a good family and is being well cared for and loved.
Amen. I agree with every sentence of your post. I was hoping Thomas was being treated horribly in prison for being a child k1ller. Very upset to hear that he took the coward's way out. That's a hard thing for me to even say bc I just lost my own brother to su1cide a few weeks ago but it truly is a cowardly act.
I dont have children but listening to the torture that 14 year old child endured, broke my heart. I couldn't help but cry inside. Those text messages he sent his mom, and getting no reply, him opening up to his friends about it. Tragic beyond belief. I pray you are at peace Jeremiah. Where in this life you were let down by people that were supposed to care for you and love you, I pray you are comforted, loved and embraced by our Lord Jesus.
I'm a 50 year Grandma who loves crime documentaries . This was so heartbreaking. I cried so hard and actually needed to watch a Disney movie after this. Rest in peace Jermiah you are now where you need to be in heaven with God.
@@liMe-leMon I know , that makes me so sad.. Those poor babies in Ohio who got murdered executions dial by their father in the front yard in front of their mother like it was no big deal didn't even try to hide it. It's just breaks my heart. 🙏🙏🙏
I know it sounds weird because none of these cases are “enjoyable” to see of course, but as someone who is a lover of true crime, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your teams dedication to your content. You have the most original cases in this genre and it’s truly appreciated when there’s usually the same few cases cycled through constantly. Every part of your content is top notch! Thank you for the amazing breakdowns and analysis.
I want to preface that I watch all of the crime videos on UA-cam. But this is the first one that I had to pause and physically walk away from to regain my composure. The descriptions of Jeremiah's living conditions and injuries were disgusting.
I don’t usually cry when watching these videos, but when they showed Jeremiah’s face for the first time I shed some tears. He was too young to be dealing with this and had such a good life ahead of him. From the texts about smoking pot you could tell he wanted to be different from his mom and everyone around him. He wanted a better life for himself, and he deserved it. Rest in peace, little man.
I don't understand why they're not harsher punishments for POS "career criminals" like this waste of space. So many opportunities to have him compete his sentences. That judge has blood on his hands too 😢 So sad. RIP Jeremiah. You deserved to live your life.
I mean if it’s nonviolent offenses, rehabilitation should be the goal. But when it escalates to violence or just starts out there… fuck ‘em. Throw away the key. They don’t get better with time and prison (not our prisons at least). How many times do we hear on the news a serial killer or a dude that murders a whole family had a lengthy criminal history of being violent, raping and kidnapping?
What gets me is that he racked up pretty serious charges and still only got probation. That is a massive miscarriage of justice and i hope the judges that refused to revoke his probation feel the effects of their actions on this.
That kind of leniency with a repeat offender makes trying to escape very difficult, because you get him charged and convicted for abuse, and he gets probation.
It's new Mexico. People come here for our leniency. An old man from Alabama told me once it was a running saying "if ya wanna get away with murder do it in New Mexico" 🤷😥
Like my mom used to say "they were all hit with the same rock". What a terrifying group of people if you want to call them that. I hope that the daughter is okay.
It's good to know that, even though she obviously made a poor choice that caused her to be arrested, the young lady in jail had a heart enough to risk herself and her safety to tell the cops about these monsters! Some people just don't deserve to be parents!
Yeah, but they did a crappy job hiding her identity and if one of them wants to hurt her they can easily find out where she is and get someone to do it.
This is by far the worst case I have ever heard. Its just horrendous, there are no words to describe it. Poor Jeremiah, I just cannot believe what he had to go through. The only comfort is that he is at peace now but this should never have happened in the first place 😢 I can't get my head around how someone can do this to another human being
I don't want to make myself sound barbaric, I did cry when Tracy was crying at her son's burial site and I cried when the sister gave her account of what happened to her brother. But I do like how you take these stories and almost paint the subject as a victim and then give us a plot twist and rip it all way, like "Man I really felt for them feeling so trapped and come to find out she was in on it???!!" Mind blown!
You don’t sound barbaric, you sound like someone who is caring and empathetic. She’s obviously good at manipulating-it’s not your fault for believing her, it’s her fault for manipulating in the first place.
You shouldn't either judge a book by their cover or personalize a persons telling of an event. Empathy is one of the worst things to have as a judge or leader; it can and will cause you to overlook the obvious and make bad judgement calls. Empathy is only good in proper context. People don't seem to realize that virtue is not blanket actions or thoughts but the proper actions or thoughts for a given situation. It is also important to understand that seeing people as either victim or perpetrator is almost always a fools interpretation of a human being. For the majority of the time people are both sometimes simultaneously.
@@sad.jackfr00tThat is terrible advice. If you get manipulated you share in the blame. That's just the truth of the matter and empathy unchecked leads to many terrible things like enabling bad behaviors, poor judgement or the grooming of narcissism for those that are the recipient of said empathy.
That poor baby, I hope he's finally found peace somehow. And I hope his sister is finally getting the help she needs in every way possible. How anyone can look at such a happy, smiley child (ANY child) and not risk themselves to protect them is beyond me. Twelve years for sitting back and watching that happen to her son. Twenty-one for participating in it. And the coward took his own life knowing what would happen to him. Justice was not served for Jeremiah...
I have never cried so hard watching a true crime case. Even babies. He was a teenager. But he was so innocent and pure yet soooo broken 😭🤬 god poor baby.
I watched this yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it. My sons are 13 and 17 and it breaks my heart that a young boy was treated like this. I came back to the video to get the boys name so I can do more research.
I feel genuine sorrow for the fate of this little man who clearly just had the best of intentions for all of those around him, who had his life cut short by a genuinely evil coward. Typical for his murderer to take the easy way out and prove his guilt at the same time by escaping punishment the way he did… I hope Jeremiah’s sister completely recovers and has a long, healthy, prosperous and fulfilling life with a happy family so that her unfortunate innocent brother’s blood can live on through her future generations🙏🏻
"The Office of Medical Investigator also found that the boy’s jaw was broken in two places, to the point where a bone poked through Valencia's gums, likely as a result of a 'final beat-down' on November 25, the day the boy died, prosecutors said. Lacerations consistent with sexual assault were also discovered in the boy's autopsy, and portions of his body 'had possibly been burned.' 'A perfectly healthy 13-year-old boy could barely walk, couldn’t eat and needed a cane,' the District Attorney said, according to the Journal. 'Nuñez was watching his little brother hobbling around on a cane, bleeding on it, and did nothing.' Evidence of Valencia's blood was found in his room and throughout the family's home, but wasn't 'visible to the naked eye,' prosecutors said. The largest amount of blood was found in the fireplace in Ferguson's bedroom, where Valencia was confined behind a specially-made door." The daily mail. HE LIVED LITERAL HELL! RIP Jeremiah. 💔 you deserved a better life.
The phone call at 1:02:37 told me everything I need to know about her. She was obsessed with that murderer of hers; the second part of that call proves it! She's laughing like a school girl with him, hoping he feels the same about her; hoping he gives af about her, which he most likely didn't. Jeremiah was targeted. He was the child in their family who was highly concentrated on, gangstalked, abused, and taken out of here. They say it's always that one child (usually the middle sibling) who's hated the most, which hurts me to even admit. These two filthball demonic mfs deserved each other, but didn't deserve Jeremiah! The only upside to this story is that he's no longer with them, and the baby boy's also no longer suffering. I do, however, hope the mother and Jordan suffer in prison and, when they finally meet their demise, rot in hell...just like that coward lover of hers. RIP, beautiful Miah! 💔
Sorry to break it to ya, but another commenter reported that the mother got out on reduced sentence based on some fucking plea deal. This country is so far from what it used to be, its nauseating.
@@hisaceinthehole3426 Just now seeing this! Well, she needs to be dealt with vigilante style! She put her son through hell, so she's not entitled to a life of rest and relaxation. I sincerely hope she gets hers!
I never comment but this video moved me. Thank you for sharing Jeremiah’s story and may this help all parents to hold their children a little longer and give them all the love because parents are their children’s first love. Don’t take that for granted.
My heart breaks for this precious child. The fact he was so bright and so aware of his situation; and that despite the horrors of his life brought upon him by his drug addled mother he still had so much love and compassion for her, makes it even more devastating 💔
How are children falling through the cracks and ending up abused and killed? Makes my blood boil. Monsters walk among us sadly. Rest in peace, Jeremiah. I am sorry this world failed you. 😔💔
Man what a poor kid this Jeremiah was. Imagine being totally neglected by your mother, telling her you love her and she doesnt respond. And you get murdered by her scumbag druggie boyfriend. I am heartbroken for this young kid. How egregiously unfair life can be. 😢
Thank you EUW FOR SHARING THIS sad ,terrible , satisfying how the detectives worked to clear this case ,all the brave people in this case that came forward with information, police work , and you EUW put all this info together for us ,Thank you and God Bless you all!
One of the best true crime videos ever done and I say that with over 20 years of true crime reading, studying, watching. Truly impressive. Those poor children.
This case is beyond frightening, after watching this I read up that Jeremiah had also been raped, had a sledgehammer dropped on his hands, multiple fractured ribs, had been severely burned, his jaw was broken in 2 places so much so that a peice of bone protruded through his gums, literally just imagine your absolute worst nightmare ever actually being your reality, at 14 years old! His mother and step brother were all complicit in his torture, completely sickening and unreal that this stuff can even exist!
@@antepa112oh goodness I was just about to ask who raped him. This is already sick enough. Brings me a sliver of relief. This poor kid lived hell on earth. I know he is experiencing eternal peace now.
Thank you for speaking up. You were solid in every way shape and form. And your sister is a good role model for you. I don’t know why you’re there, but get outta there and get your sh** together.❤
This is a perfect example about how legal negligence can become deadly. The Thomas guy has displayed more than plenty of signs that showed his unwillingness to change. He was a danger to society and the judge should have locked him up for good. DV is a violent crime and should be treated as such. How many times does a woman or child have to die? Why doesn’t the justice system take domestics violence seriously. If someone is willing to harm their spouse or child, they’re willing to do a lot more. Despicable.
@@gray3508 absolutely, but the most likely to die from abuse are women and children. I am in no way trying to downplay abuse that men face at all though.
It’s so sad to think about what that child went through with them 3 as his caregivers. My heart breaks to know that young mans inner thoughts while everything was happening to him. I know his sister was thinking am i next if i say something? It’s so sad to hear everything that poor kid went through. May he rest in peace ♥️
That poor child. He wanted his mother to love him so severely that he endured all this abuse. Deep down, he knew that his mother would turn on him if he spoke up, so he never did to get whatever little love she likely showed him every so often to manipulate him. Thomas is a monster for murdering him, but the ''mother'' is so much worse because she never loved him and kept him in this environment. She murdered that child's spirit slowly and enjoyed every moment of it. May she rot in jail forever! Rest in power, little one.
I'm glad that little girl got away from that family. Complete monsters. I hope prison is treating her well. I've never been so happy to hear about someone offing themselves, but hearing Thomas did that made me feel a little better about this story.
This actually is the most twisted case I've ever heard. You got me this time, EWU. Seriously... everything about this is disgusting. I wish Jeremiah could have been rescued... everyone who sees this fantasizes about a reality where, somehow, he could have been saved posthumously by our wishes. And it reminds me that there are people now who need to be saved.
It's actually insane that this guy takes the police out to the general area of the burial and tries to provide clues to where the body is while at the same time saying he was never there. Like "Yeah so the body is out here somewhere and the person who buried Jeremiah said you could find the body if you follow these very specific directions. But I wasn't there." As if the person who buried the body would divulge such sensitive and specific information to another person in the first place.
I saw a deep dive on this boy a couple weeks ago abd I watch tons of true crime but what happened to this boy was extreme and so so sad. This poor boy suffered so much it’s one of the saddest I’ve ever heard .
The fact that a judge disregarded the recommendation by the probation officer to send him to prison mare weeks before Jeremiah was killed...what a justice system smh
It’s disgusting that the people who make the decisions (parole boards and judges) to release these monsters for early release do so with absolute impunity! 😡 If had any level of accountably for crimes committed after the criminals were released perhaps they might make wiser decisions.
This case made me so ANGRY. I could not listen to what that poor child went through. I had to fast forward. I was too triggered. Thank you for your continued work on this channel. This one was just 😭. Fly high sweet Jeremiah ❤❤❤
May all the innocent victims, especially the children, rest in peace. Humans are truly the one species capable of extreme evil. Makes me sick the things these people did, especially to their own children. 😢
Thank you for the hard work you do to bring us these accounts of the crimes committed by nasty people. You always narrate in a way that helps us understand the system and procedures of interrogations, back story and outcome. Respect EWC
Good on that inmate and her sister for backing up her choice to come forward and allow the truth for Jeremiah to come to light. Hopefully that family support system helps her succeed when she get out of prison.
She told to get out early. It took them hours of trying to get her to talk. She was only willing to talk once they offered her early release. I think she is selfish and I know she will pay for that for the rest of her life. She didn’t want to bring justice to the boy, she wanted out early
@kateharless5659 whoa wait do u think she kept making the detectives dig and try to make her talk for a while bc she was possibly waiting for them to offer some type of deal? But she didn't know how to go about it.... 😳
I think she was scared of being labeled a snitch and being retaliated against, at the least she still would have to be relocated. Obviously she felt bad for the kid Bc something similar happened to her brother growing up. If she did not care she wouldn’t have told her sister
@@kateharless5659 I disagree, more than likely she saw the opportunity of putting this behind her. Before there was fear that the rest of her sentence would be shadowed by this
As someone who watches true crime stories a lot, this really was a hard watch for me seeing how this young boy fought to stay positive despite everything he was going through resulting in his sad and unfortunate demise. He deserved so much better than this it’s truly heartbreaking. He never stood a chance being in the presence of monsters like this, that’s the saddest part.
My favorite true crime channel by a long shot. I thank ewu’s team for their hard work and days of work to provide us with such high quality content. Also thank you for covering cases like this so their names are more know and will not be forgotten.
I watch and listen to a lot of true crime and this one… this one has made me understand why people need mental health breaks… the fact there are no parents to grieve and love him…. I just wow His family, the system, everyone failed him. He was gone so long and no one even bothered to chase it up
Wonder how he felt afterwards, knowing that she was part of it all? Tracy obviously didn't learn anything from him - he had more compassion for her son than she did.
I watched probably hundreds of these UA-cam videos, and never have I ever got mad and upset until this one. That poor boy, a needless and pointless murder. RIP, young man, may you be flying high where ever you are now.
I’ve been binge watching these videos for a few days and this video is heartbreaking I can’t imagine the pain that poor boy went thru emotionally and physically they deserve to rot away in jail rip baby boy 💔
EWU has always proved themselves worthy of extensive recognition and praise for all the dedication and hard work that goes into every single one of their case analyses. May God bless them.
Every time they release a video they literally make their mark as the best true crime on UA-cam-for all the reasons you described- plus their consistency, quality and length of features.
It's an attention grabber for sure, but it's hard to tell which ones you've watched and which ones you haven't. The titles really need changed or at the very least, have some identifying information distinguishing one from another.
There's a special place in hell for people who hurt lil kids. Just seeing the lil boy's face I tear up, can't imagine how they did that. How inhuman do they have to be :(
I'd like to think that the little guy fought and endured until the end. He woulda been a great adult considering how he still cared about his mother even when she abandoned him. Rip
You know my father was put in prison for 15 years for running a con where he'd spray fruit trees for bugs, but he'd use water and food coloring instead of pesticide. I'm talking about small orchards. This was in the 90s. He was convicted a month after I was born. He got paroled when I was 13, but he had a traumatic brain injury from fighting in prison that deteriorated, and he passed when I was 19 a sophomore at Texas Tech. This guy was given probation after probation for violent crimes until a kid wound up dead, my father never committed a violent crime, he came up with a dumb con to make a quick buck for his extremely poor family and prison killed him I got 6 years with him.
The system is so rigged and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I’m absolutely sorry for you and your family. His love for his family lead him to do what he did. It’s not fair what happened to him, and I at least hope in those 6 years you had with him, you had some good moments to remember him by ❤
I feel for you bro, I’m from the Uk. And have watched enough crime docs and seen how the U.S. Penal System works.
It is crazy. I feel for you and your family because your dad, certainly can’t have been expecting such a harsh punishment , either. Apparently the U.S. take their agriculture very seriously, so if he thought he could make a few extra bucks to feed the family but the actual offence is really frowned upon and your getting 15 years in the pen for that. Sheeesh…
Seriously in the Uk, he might get banned for from working in the industry and suspended sentence or a fine would be the likely outcome.
I’ve also been to prison.
And we can thank god for small mercies, I think. I listened to a podcast last night about a book called fish. A young kid from the suburbs. Green as they come in prison terms. This guy T.J. Pursell. Is the author, similar background to me. But this guy in the us jail was gaslight by experienced older convicts. Super friendly, plied him with drink, then turned on him and took turns r@ping him and they flipped a coin for who hee belongs to now. White guy from the suburbs in jail in 78, first timer ⏱️ .
This kid was being super naive admittedly. My point being. The prison system in the Uk, is so much more civilised, I was in prison with quite a famous old con in the early 90’s a reasonably well known hard man ex boxer ( lol)
Hands like shovels ( total narcissist) anyway it was said to me. Never to go in the shower when Paul Sykes was in. Coz he would k.o. You and have his way with you. Now I mentioned this story on a UA-cam documentary about Paul Sykes ( ironically his dad was a prison officer, too)
This Ex con was giving me pelters saying there’s no such thing as jail bent. If your doing long enough, I bet there is.
Going back to my point. The u.s. is so vast. It’s just so hard to not run like meat packing factories. I mean the transportation from jail to jails sounds like the 7 th circle of hell.
God bless you and father.
I hope this makes sense, because I haven’t fully edited it yet.
Do the crime, do the time. Unfortunately food standards are taken seriously in the developed world.
@@TJ20232 I'm not sure what you're implying...
If he went through so much effort actually spraying trees, why not get actual pesticides.. sad he got so many years though and had that injury. Wasn't deserved. He should have been slapped with a fine, not prison.
Respect for the woman for speaking to the cops.And for her sister
not all felons are bad. sometimes it is just circumstances. yes wrong is wrong but people hurting kids is a big no no even in prison
That's true and many who have done wrong and gone to prison feel it deeply against their soul and continue to grow. Others who have psychopath need to be found out, because their souls seem irreparable.
🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣🤡bruh she told to get out of jail. Plain and simple.
I hope she's in for something easy to get out of once her sentence is over. Her sister is lovely too, supports her so much
@@johnanthony9923did you even watch it? Because that’s not what happened. In the phone call she asked her sister to contact detectives, the sister did so and then detectives listened to the call and interviewed her. She didn’t want to protect the woman, she just didn’t want to be a snitch. Being a snitch in jail will get you severely beaten.
Just take a moment to consider that Jeremiah is receiving more love and compassion from the strangers in a UA-cam comment section then he did from his own mother.
Mother god is loving him 10x fold. 😢❤
😢😔
Isn’t it unfathomable?
Isn't that how it normally goes when there is familial abuse? Strangers have more empathy and compassion than so called family.
No kidding
I went to school with Jeremiah, we would sit next together in science class and would hangout a lot at school, I remember one day he moved schools and I never saw him again, next year 8th grade we had some counselors come into the classrooms, explaining our previous classmate had passed away. I still have his account following me on Instagram. I'm 19 now and it's so heartbreaking looking back and seeing what happened to him. He was such a sweet person and had the funniest things to say, he was a good friend and I would love to see where he would be today. Rest in Peace Jeremiah, everyone still thinks about you and misses you more and more everyday.
Ffs why didn't they all go to the cops.Surely they would of arrested him
this is so sad
This is so sad! Thanks for talking about him, it's nice when the victims get attention especially sweet ones like him, sorry for you losing your friend 😔
Bless you for keeping his memory alive and commenting. I can’t fathom how anyone could hurt a child much less kill one. I will never understand.
Rest In Peace Brave Boy.

Agree! that was really good to hear a voice of reason and someone who’s caring.
She was the only person that had a voice of reason
and courage!I would have fallin apart!!!
That inmate's sister was such a lovely voice of reason. Thanks EWU for another fantastic video, you never disappoint.
I was agreeing with the inmates sister the entire conversation. Her sister seems to be truly kind heart while being seriously straight forward. She loves her sister abundantly.
They are the most twisted and most heinous, too
@@shallawnmarshall320 I loved how direct and no nonsense, facts sister she was. The contrasts of personality types and behaviours in this story was wild.
i like her..what she said was the truth too
Too bad the scumbag took the cowards way out. I would rather see it done in a gas chamber or whatever method they use. And of course the woman gets less time than the other dumb ass.
“My Mom just Quit on Me” Those are some of the Saddest Words I’ve Heard! To feel your Mom, the person who should Love You & Protect You, has Quit on you, absolutely Heart Breaking! That sad excuse of a mother, should serve just as much time as the Loser that took that Little Boy’s Life!
Absolutely devastating to read that
Yeah, that Pena woman is pure meth-head scumbag. Her kids never had a chance.
Aren't they
Agreed
Yeah. But every one will pressure eveey female to have kids. Every. Single. One.
Ugh... It infuriates me to hear that Thomas took the easy way out and that Jordan and Tracy got what basically amounts to a slap on the wrist for all the abuse that Jeremiah had to go through.
I hope they get jumped in prison, daily.
Give them a super slick soap bar
It's so sad nobody came to the Jeremiahs rescue from this horrible family. I grew up in a very abusive household. I was finally rescued at 7 after a near death beating. School kept asking me why i can't sit down and things went downhill from there. I was rushed to the hospital and stayed for a week. Then foster care till i was 16. I'm still to this day terrified of my dad. As an adult I've seen him twice, and he acted like he didn't even recognize me. Why can I remember him, but he didn't acknowledge me. Walked right past me. He has a whole new family and new life. Idk now that I'm older I have been so interested in the abuse cases. Some of the videos being back memories I had forgotten about. Sometimes, I feel like I need to talk about it and release these emotions. I guess I'm doing that now. I struggle, but surprisingly I walk around everyday with a big ol smile thanking God for another day.
That's because you're a strong beautiful woman! 👏 🙏 🙌 we need start helping children in some way shape or form. Volunteer, something. I'll be doing some research for sure. Stay strong mama, you are NOT alone.
Glad you are doing well and survived your previous "family." You know exactly why your "father" doesn't recognize you. He is ashamed and in denial at the least and is not bonded to you.
I pray his current "family" is in a better situation. Stay safe. God bless.
I appreciate you guys @liMe-leMon and @soexpeewee. I will definitely look into some volunteer work. That's a very good suggestions. Your kind words made me smile.
@@brii.badazz Your such a strong woman & my heart & love go out to you for all the pain & trauma you went through. Your a survivor & an amazing woman to be able to share some of your sad story with us. Thank you 🙏💕
@@brii.badazz I hope you are having a great day/evening first and foremost. I think we need more awareness anytime a child is involved and anything you can do even if it's just a friendly smile or maybe a hug might just be what makes their day better is absolutely worth it. I turn 45 today and my mother has been difficult throughout my life and has made some horrible decisions and life choices, but I think it's gotten worse. Over more than a year now my mother abuses me every chance she gets basically, such as telling me I'm always wrong, I am the problem, that I don't care.... All while I struggle to survive as my life, my dogs, and my home that my dad left me are being threatened on a constant basis since my landlord (a neighbor offered to help keep my house getting taken for property taxes) forced me to have his violent employee that can't go 24 hours without going through withdrawal if he doesn't have his meth. Not just humiliating and belittling me, actively supports those 2 and constantly we have yelling matches where I'm just standing up for myself and she refuses to even listen to me. Me and my 5 dogs are in a bedroom with a metal gate in front of the door in MY house and he's still tried to attack me out of the blue for whatever reason he decides is relevant. Police don't help, they blamed me last time I callled for wasting resources. Of course the landlord and roommate were there so I couldn't explain anything or show video or audio recordings I've had to keep since this all started and he tried to attack me before even entering my house. Landlord refuses to do anything other than actively do whatever I don't want just to put more pressure on me. I had to start putting videos on FB and here on UA-cam as well. I can't type anymore. Hope you have a wonderful day young lady... And everyone else too! Smile! - it makes people wonder what you're up to. 🍻🌎❤️🌮🎶
I lost count on how many times he titled his videos, the most twisted case. They're all twisted in their own ways and I can't get enough of it
I always noticed this, but he’s never wrong
Lol. I thought the same thing.
Oh man, that's rough. You should probably just take it WAS less fucking seriously. It's called marketing. 🤡
It's working cause I keep clicking lol 😂
Same. Well literally about to post the same. It's always the most whatever..
They didn't hide her identity very well. Anyone who knows the inmate can tell who she is by her hair and her voice. I hope that they keep her safe.
And the fact she was close enough to Tracy for her to confide in her
She was released immediately and hopefully stayed out of jail.
Well I only see a criminal using a loophole to get away with her crime by "doing the right thing"... come on get off the gas. I def think the crime is horrible but once you get into ohh these are good criminals well I don't see it so grey.
My son said he wanted to go into law enforcement... I said this...
Unless your plan is to never violate anyone's civil rights and that you never ever do anything illegal or abusive of the powers.. You should never take a job that requires a huge amount of temptation unless you really want to serve and protect... don't.. but if you are serious and what I said is you mission I want you to know that makes me very proud... just know that crooked cops create other crooked cops so if you see that at all do not be a boyscout resign and locate a office that is integrity in words and deed... Because crooked cops are the worst of all since it is rampant and a problem but there is sheriffs and law enforcement who take the public trust serious and my biggest problems is that their is not very serious consequences to crooked cops... if you are not a cop do not got trying to act like one.
She should be safe because MOST women in prison HATE CHILD KILLERS❗️❗️❗️❗️
That sister on the phone was so smart, asking for clarification and being clear and simple in what she said. Strong woman!
There are literally millions of drug addicts who are not murderers . There are millions of abuse victims who do not abuse people. People only do what they want to do
You must be a psychologist
People who abuse children deserve to have done to them everything they did to the child
I feel even that is to good for them. It should be much much more torturous.
Yes
And or firing squad
Then deleted.. we need severe penalties reinstated.. the bleeding hearts are responsible for countless victims
thats why they don’t do well in prison because even hardened criminals can’t stand that shit
They deserve alot worse than that. I don't think there's a punishment that could be bad enough and still be legal.
That poor poor child. When that sorry excuse of a mother was talking about how tough he was, I broke down. He was a baby and never should’ve had to be strong. And on top of it, he was still telling his mom that he loved her after all of that. That poor boy was failed by everyone around him. May he rest easy now. Such a heartbreaking case.
That part hit home because my mother used me as a sacrifice so my fathers beatings would land on me instead of her. Karma took revenge for me, they deserved everything they got
@@hellhound1389 I’m so sorry that happened to you. All children deserve to be protected and those who fail to do that deserve every bad thing that comes to them. I hope you’re happy and healing now
It kills me when mothers and fathers wont even let their little boys go through a crying stage. Like theyll be barely able to walk and run into something and its nothing but your ok, meanwhile if it was a daughter theyd run to em and fawn over em for half an hour. Alot of parents expect the emotionlessness of a man from a boy as soon as he is old enough to cry. THIS story makes me so angry and BOTH his parents are so evil and still he smiled for pictures. I hope hell exists thats all I know.
@@hellhound1389me too😢
Man. Something about reading those texts from jeremiah really got me.. between him asking his mom if shes mad at him because she didnt come pick him up.. to the little guy saying his mom quit on him and he doesnt know what to do.. that poor kid. All he wanted was some love. Shame on his parents for failing him like that. Lifes tough enough as it is.
Heartbreaking 💔
1:08:36 paused to read the coroner's report and it says his left eye was displaced from thr socket, tears were found in the scalp, left cheek and left ear.
Also that he had on a diaper and several others were wrapped around his neck and head.
That is where i lost it. Thinking of this sweet beautiful young boy crying in agony as he's tortured and mutilated is so heart wrenching.
How can people be so evil?
He suffered so much and its just so hard to fathom that Jordan nor his own mother helped him.
I hope these monsters suffer for many many years.
That’s heartbreaking
Jesus Christ 😢
That sounds so beautifull displaced left eye tears in the scalp just thinking of him crying in utter pain makes me feel so good ❤
@@justme14445 wtf
@@justme14445get help
Seeing Jeremiah’s unanswered texts to his mom was heartbreaking. That poor boy just wanted his mother to love him, he wanted her to care about him, he wanted to not have to doubt it anymore. He worried about her and wanted to know she was ok, and she couldn’t give him any of that. I see my kids every single day, and I can’t imagine ever seeing a text from them and just ignoring it, especially one saying “I love you.” This woman disastrously failed on so many levels, worst of all was the man she kept around. I just don’t understand some things.
Jeremiah was an especially introspective kid. He knew he was in a bad situation, including his own drug use, and was looking for ways out. He probably could have overcome his beginnings if he had been allowed to live. That's probably another reason why they killed him -- not only was he a threat to the (gag) "alpha," he was showing them up by showing signs of sanity and responsibility.
Male children are always bothering their moms and female caregivers and trying to stop them from living an independent life. It's like an instinct they have to hold strong women back even at such a young age. Very sad.
It was probably the meth that kept her with him!!!!!
The mother was not a victim.
My mom randomally texts me I love you and if I don't respond I feel bad. I'm 36 I could only imagine if I was a kid and texted my mom and she didn't respond
The inmate's sister is obviously a caring & moral person, without her help and her support of her sister this crime may never have been discovered.
She's a better person than I am. I would have freaking killed my sibling if they hurt my niece
@@soxpeeweethe inmate was the informant they are the reason Jeremiah even had a chance justice
@@soxpeeweetalking about the inmate sister in the phone call, telling her to tell the detectives about Tracy
the inmate who told did the right thing, but it bothered me that she struggled with doing it. If I heard someone hurt a child, I’d tattle so fast my head would spin, even if it was my own mother. And the mother is just as evil as the stepdad for allowing him to hurt her child. Makes me so angry.
I firmly agree. I don't think the mom would have ever been brave enough to say anything without her telling that other inmates and then the sister talking sent into her. I think that that was all due to the sister being the one to talk some sense into her. I'm so glad it worked out that way though and I hope that the mom doesn't do a whole ton of time because yes, it is her fault too but not as much as that raging douchebag. He threatened them time and time again and I guess I might be scared as well but when you're sitting in prison, that would be the best time to say something and she could have. Edit- she's a disgusting monster too. Now knowing she was in on it too. Because like I said above though, why wouldn't you say anything when you're both locked up in prison? That's pretty telling right there
"Im strong moma, i ca handle it"
He was willing to stick up for and protect a women who couldnt care less about him.
Thats heartbreaking
Truly
This breaks my heart. He loved her so much and she was a complete dog shit mother
@@candacegutherieBro, do not insult the dogs...Most dog mothers have more love for their puppies than that so called human being in this case.
"Never get tired of doing the right thing." I felt that!
That poor baby, he felt so unloved by everyone in his family and he still would try to tell his mom that he loved her. In another lifetime he’ll be born into a loving family that he deserved in this lifetime. Rip Jeremiah
I was thinking the same and seeing it in writing broke me. All these poor children, Gabriel Fernandez, Anthony Avalos, Noah Cuatro and countless more, my heart hurts more than ever for these innocent souls. I cry and ache for the physical pain they had to go through but what really gets me right in the pit of my stomach and soul is how unloved and hopeless they must of felt. How I wish I could go back in time and save them and shower them with love and kindness. My only hope is their souls do come back in another life and they are treated with all the love and respect they deserve.
It doesn't work that way, he will never have to leave gods sight....
You mean he'll be born into a family who deserves him ❤
@kennethlandert8350 we all perceive and have different beliefs. And we believe it does work that way. So in your heart he'll not get to experience what love within a real family is like. In ours, a family who has been trying for months-maybe years, for a healthy beautiful baby boy, will recieve the ultimate blessing from A higher power, and they both will be a blessing to the world bc of their union.
This "lord" in my experiences must be greedy, and not want folks to learn from his most gifted, most blessed creations. How are the younger generations suppose to learn?
Could you be more of a pill addicted weirdo lol
My heart breaks for Jeremiah.
May that innocent child rest in peace.
His parents are the worst monsters I’ve ever heard of. They did not deserve this kid.
Every child deserves a parent but most parents don't deserve a child. Growing up in Indiana taught me that
Drugs are horrible, but she intentionally didnt stop the abuse cuz she might catch a charge..GROSS#@!@@!@. ..although i hear THE foSter system is a nightmare too. GET CLEAN STAY CLEAN AND MOVEAWAY FROM WHERE YOU ARE . GOING from clean right back into the sess pool you came out of and trying to stay clean is a challenge most fail at. As a mom I can say these bitches evil for not getting the help to stay clean. SELFISH!!
@@awkwardautistic There are always worse. But beating your kid until his theet fall out, urinating on him and torturing him for days is probally one of the worst deaths you can think of.
Most barbaric shit I've ever seen
I'm glad Thomas unalived himself. Good fucking riddance.
I have a three year old son. His mother and I arent together.
Hes going through a phase where he cries whenever I leave, asking me to stay, and I can't.
I would do anything for him. He looks up to me, tells me he loves me and gives me hugs. I would do anything to protect him, and hearing what these people did, fucking breaks my heart and makes me angry.
Give me 5 minutes alone with them. Please.
This woman is complete TRASH!!!! As a mother you'd think your first instinct is to protect your children at ALL, and ANY COST. My heartbreaks for Jeremiah.
I hope Jeremiah's soul sees how much the detectives cared about him and how sad we all are that this happened to him.
I was actually very touched by the love and respect those officers showed Jeramiah even though they never met him and while that sick twisted animal mother doing her acting. Jeramiah rest in peace
The God of the Living has Jeremiah in his arms. He prays for us right now.
That's a sweet wish. I wish these wishes could be true
Can we just talk about that sister?!?!?!?!?!? I was even taking some of the advice she said with being able to handle anything that comes her way. We allllll need to be a human like her! I hope she knows how amazing she is!!
Yess she handled that whole situation like a pro and give her sister the best advice and support to help 👏
I was thinking that the sister of the inmate was amazing
I am so appalled and saddened that not a single person did anything to help Jeremiah😢😢how someone could do that to another person let alone a child is beyond disgusting. RIP Jeremiah❤
The lass who reported the crime helped Jeremiah. Sadly post death, but this shows someone out there cared.
Here I am , infertile and praying I could have a family even though it will never happen , then there’s parents like this. The world is so unfair
Never lose hope
Sweetie so many children are needing homes. Consider adopting. I did
I was just about to say she needs to call her lawyer, I am SO GLAD she did. She deserves to be rewarded for showing strong character, even in the way she empathized for her prison friend. She's clearly a young person who just needs redirection.
Do inmates receive routine counselling or have group sessions while incarcerated?yesterday I heard some congress woman say they plan to set up help for inmates to get them ready for outside life again....retraining for jobs....help with that whole process to keep them from returning to jail...so they can be successful when released! Maybe schooling? Sure hope that happens!!! And this Biden administration has enabled criminals to run free with little to no accountability....increasing crime everywhere. New laws need implemented too. Take all the money 1 million per person I think it was said yesterday for slavery reparations and use it for this purpose with inmates! We do not need to support 5 million illegals when we have homeless everywhere in this country too!!!
She was released early, so they say but don't say if she was released to the public or another jail unfortunately but I agree with you, she showed a lot of character here.
@camvin575 yeah most people in jail would be terrified to say anything
Honestly in the guys section, even going to get health checkups is worthy of being interrogated by the whole unit to see if you snitched and if someone gets taken away and charged with something they'll usually blame the last person to leave the unit whether that be to go to the health wing or "visitation" w.e it may be if you leave the unit people will be suspicious of you being a rat
@@andrew-rn9uiit's best to stay out of that hell hole in first place
@@shable1436I can't think of a single person who "chose" to go to prison 😅
I watch a lot of true crime and feel for all the victims but every once in awhile a victim just really gets to me. He had the sweetest face, kindness and innocence. And those texts to his mom are heartbreaking. I'm sorry Jeremiah. You were too good for this world, you deserved so much better.
exactly i started sobbing when they went to find his body with the mother
I am so sad knowing Jeremiah will never see a peaceful life free of the chains put on him. I can only hope heaven is real so he can enjoy a happy existence somehow despite all of this
Yes, this one really got me. 💔😭
Same. My daughter is 14 and I can't stop crying despite watching so many of these because I'm so paranoid of losing her it's like a strange compulsion to know what is out there and then the pain of knowing no matter what I know it just hurts for the victims and that I can't truly completely and unconditionally protect her from weirdos out there. However a mother who lets this happen is so, so sickening and infuriating
@ErinJeanette, I felt this! 😢 😢
My mother went to prison for running an insurance scam, not for violently abusing, neglecting, starving, kidnapping, and imprisoning her children. There were multiple reports, arrests, and restraining orders, photographs taken of our marks and bruises, attempts by my dad and grandma to get custody of us, they didn’t care. But how dare she steal money from a few rich people. I hate the injustice system here. Child abusers and domestic abusers are ignored and covered up here because no one wants to believe the abused children and partners.
I’ve watched all your videos and videos that involve children always get to me the most but this story made me cry. It’s crazy to me the evil there is in this world and the fact that things like this happen to children often. Also, someone in the comments mentioned his mom is out of prison?? She should’ve been given life for what she allowed to happen to her son.
Tracy deserves the same sentence for letting this man beat her son, throw chemicals on her son and finally kill her son and she did nothing to protect he kid and no telling what he did to that little girl
She said he treated her very nicely so I'm gonna assume he touched her sexually and rewarded her for that by not abusing her physically but I could totally be off base
And the judge who let him stay out
She deserved far worse for being such a demonic mother
What happened to this poor child is beyond disgusting, and I hope everyone who caused harm to Jeremiah rots in jail. There sentences were beyond unjustified and they most definitely deserved more time in jail. What disgusting people, I just hope Jeremiahs sister gets help and support from the people shes around of for being forced to witness this. May Jeremiah rest in peace and be free from the pain he suffered.
I don't know what kind of mom she is, but she's a junkie from what her son said. It's a shame she chose drugs. I hope when she gets out of jail, she cleans herself up and lives a better life and takes care of her daughter the way she should have her son.
I'm not at the end of the video yet so I don't know if the sentence purred to any prison time related to this or not. I do think she has something of a conscience and a heart because she was so upset about her son that she talked to her cellmate about it. So she's not heartless.❤
Her poor daughter, she's probably got PTSD and something akin to Stockholm Syndrome. I hope she heals and grows up to have a lovely and fruitful life.❤
Why should they rot in jail? Unfair
@@merchantgold6327 unfair?
@@ritawashere5787still feel the same after finishing the video? Hearing her phone calls after his death giggling and telling her sons killer how much she loves him? I felt the same way about her up until that point. I’ve lost a child in a FAR less brutal manner, and the devastation that first year was indescribable.
@@b_sus87 no I do not feel the same. I was going to edit my comment but I got distracted.
She's the grossest of all human beings.
When I made my comment, I had thought she must have felt some type of guilt that made her confess to her cellmate. But from what her cellmate shared, I trust the cellmate. She actually has a heart. If the cell mate says the mom had no remorse, then I believe her. That child was treated worse than an animal. The fear that both of them live through. I hope the daughter is able to heal and thrive in her life. I fear that she will have struggles from her traumatic upbringing..
My twelve-year-old daughter and I were victims of a violent home invasion and I was raped in front of her. Thank God my daughter wasn't. But still, my daughter struggles that great deal. She has guilt and she has told me she wished she had done things to help.
My daughter is now 24 and she still struggles with anxiety and PTSD. I'm quite certain that this girl watching her brother mistreated and murdered, will struggle the same way.
* sorry I have to edit my comment, I dropped my phone and it sent it.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your child. That pain is something I don't wish on anybody. ❤️
I started tearing up when they read Jeremiah's unanswered texts to his mom. It wasnt the most horrific part of the story but it made everything feel so much more real. Just to think how alone and neglected that poor boy was. He still loved his mom no matter how horrible she was to him. Never bring your children around people who you know are violent/dangerous. When you do that you made a conscious decision to abuse your kids, whether you hit them yourself or not .
Boohoo lol
My heartbreaks for this boy. Jeremiah deserved so much better. His mother failed him as well as everyone else. It's absolutely heartbreaking. He is gone but will never be forgotten . R.I.P
It’s sickening that Tracy only received a 4 year prison sentence (not 12 years. She was sentenced to 21 years. The judge ordered 9 years be suspended. 2 years spent on parole and 5 probation. So she’s out now) Poor Jeremiah. RIP ❤
She deserved life in prison.
If any demon or psycho claims they live in an oppressive, society caused by men, just show them this video.
Even if the state kept to their word about the 12 years, that still would've made me sick to my stomach. The double standard towards the worst of the worst is absolutely, vile.
The state failed these kids as well
@@hisaceinthehole3426sorry she hurt you.
@@hisaceinthehole3426lets not pretend like 90% of true crime vids aren't about a man killing a woman tho
Being viewed as a "rat" in prison can literally get you killed. Women in prison can be more vicious in their street justice then men in prison, so I've been told by Corrections officers. Her courage to come forward is incredible. However being viewed as a baby killer in prison is much worse. I commend this woman for coming forward.
The part about women being more vicious than men isnt correct
I've been on the inside.
Most inmates won't care if you roll on a pedo or baby killer. Their usually the one who winds up a target by the gangs.
Are you defining viscious as "less viscious"? There's myriads of stats with large margins of separation to demonstrably show that's not the case lol
I wish that was a true factoid but idk where you're finding this data.
@@DomCoreLeon Tf you talking about?
Well, don't commit crimes and go to prison in the first place. Do the right thing no matter what. 🙏
Man some of these cases are downright traumatizing to watch. I feel like i need therapy myself after watching this.
I really feel for the girl that came forward wrestling with that horrendous shit she got told in confidence from her friend
like risking being a snitch in PRISON just to do the “right thing” without any benefit to herself like damn that’s brave props to her honestly
Edit: damn she got early release Nevermind. I mean still good for her she gets a snitch pass- the unjustness of the universe really just gets me sometimes.
The texts break my heart like this kid wants a mom so bad like he was born and was denied everything because he was unlucky enough to be born into that family. Seeing your parents become unsafe people you have to avoid after losing all trust and hope that they ever will be there for you or protect you is so terrifying and lonely. And seeing them turn into people who genuinely despise / loathe you is 10 times worse. What Jeremiah went through is *unspeakable*. I can’t imagine the physical and emotional pain he suffered throughout his short life, and the absolute helplessness he must have felt after being slowly tortured by the people that literally brought him into the world - and eventually killed for simply for being alive. Like these kids were literally born into hell. They were completely robbed of any support system, let down by their community, and devastatingly betrayed by their own parents - who are untreated addicts in desperate need of severe help themselves in order to become into human and take care of themselves, let alone others, as they were probably raised in a similar sadistic abusive chaotic environments creating a diseased familial cycle that just continues to spread terror - like so much outside intervention was needed here I feel like the world failed these kids
I got no sleep again God damn im emotional today
Also I agree that all the adults are at fault here but an physically abused person (that’s also struggles with addiction is a person in need of dire help, that is a situation that can be impossible to leave unscathed by oneself - and victims are often completely brainwashed and controlled by their abuser. It doesn’t excuse engaging any crimes, but this woman and all the children are clearly terrified of the father - who is threatening to kill everyone.
When you have fear beaten into you so deep it can be impossible to escape, and delusional thinking kicks in for survival. People have seen loved ones morph into someone unrecognizable when in this situation.
The biggest monster here is the “man” that thinks kicking the shit out of people half his size and strength and sometimes killing them is what makes him a big man. Imagine being a grown man threatened by a 14 year old. Imagine having to hold your entire family hostage by gunpoint in order to prevent them from trying to escape you. What a miserable existence.
Waste garbage human. Trash. Glad he’s dead. I can’t tell if the mom is genuinely evil too or has been brainwashed over the years to make herself more like the man who abused her - which affected her and her kids life.
Edit: nevermind just got to the part where they’re like yeah this woman did this in cold blood and had no remorse. I mean she could have disassociated - but nahhhhh
This is how I watch and comment on videos now. Like my own personal diary. 😊
This is one of the most heart shattering stories I've ever heard. My heart breaks for that baby. He deserved so much better. I will never understand people who hurt children. And that coward took the easy way out. Makes me sick. May Jeremiah's soul rest in peace. I hope his sister is with a good family and is being well cared for and loved.
Amen. I agree with every sentence of your post.
I was hoping Thomas was being treated horribly in prison for being a child k1ller. Very upset to hear that he took the coward's way out.
That's a hard thing for me to even say bc I just lost my own brother to su1cide a few weeks ago but it truly is a cowardly act.
@@NunyaBizness2.0I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔
I dont have children but listening to the torture that 14 year old child endured, broke my heart. I couldn't help but cry inside. Those text messages he sent his mom, and getting no reply, him opening up to his friends about it. Tragic beyond belief. I pray you are at peace Jeremiah. Where in this life you were let down by people that were supposed to care for you and love you, I pray you are comforted, loved and embraced by our Lord Jesus.
Jeremiah wasn't cared for but he still cared for his mother. He was asking if she was ok. That just tears my heart out.
That conversation between tracy and thomas gives me chills, I can't believe that there are people like them, how can you still laugh?
I'm a 50 year Grandma who loves crime documentaries . This was so heartbreaking. I cried so hard and actually needed to watch a Disney movie after this. Rest in peace Jermiah you are now where you need to be in heaven with God.

Thank you for the amazing breakdowns and analysis.
worded well and respectfully :)
I absolutely agree 💯👍🏼
Having a 14 years old son, I’m so sorry that Jeremiah had to go theough this. The kidds deserved so much better.
I want to preface that I watch all of the crime videos on UA-cam. But this is the first one that I had to pause and physically walk away from to regain my composure. The descriptions of Jeremiah's living conditions and injuries were disgusting.
I don’t usually cry when watching these videos, but when they showed Jeremiah’s face for the first time I shed some tears. He was too young to be dealing with this and had such a good life ahead of him. From the texts about smoking pot you could tell he wanted to be different from
his mom and everyone around him. He wanted a better life for himself, and he deserved it. Rest in peace, little man.
Yeah it got me too bc he was smiling. Dealing with such a horrible life but still managed to smile
I don't understand why they're not harsher punishments for POS "career criminals" like this waste of space.
So many opportunities to have him compete his sentences.
That judge has blood on his hands too 😢
So sad. RIP Jeremiah. You deserved to live your life.
Automatic death
I mean if it’s nonviolent offenses, rehabilitation should be the goal. But when it escalates to violence or just starts out there… fuck ‘em. Throw away the key. They don’t get better with time and prison (not our prisons at least). How many times do we hear on the news a serial killer or a dude that murders a whole family had a lengthy criminal history of being violent, raping and kidnapping?
A person found with drugs gets tripple the time in prison
Thank you for this!! The way you put this together is awesome! Well done!
Thank you for the way you explained the effects trauma survivors experience. Helps really put things in perspective for me.
What gets me is that he racked up pretty serious charges and still only got probation. That is a massive miscarriage of justice and i hope the judges that refused to revoke his probation feel the effects of their actions on this.
Yeah!! I hope the judge or judge's are content with themselves!! Not even taking into consideration what his parole officer was recommending!!
America, baby! Quite literally the land of the free. And I love it
That kind of leniency with a repeat offender makes trying to escape very difficult, because you get him charged and convicted for abuse, and he gets probation.
Ogree
It's new Mexico. People come here for our leniency. An old man from Alabama told me once it was a running saying "if ya wanna get away with murder do it in New Mexico" 🤷😥
Like my mom used to say "they were all hit with the same rock". What a terrifying group of people if you want to call them that. I hope that the daughter is okay.
your mom had quite the saying 🫢 might start using it
I like that your mom was right ❤️
Cut from the same cloth
It's good to know that, even though she obviously made a poor choice that caused her to be arrested, the young lady in jail had a heart enough to risk herself and her safety to tell the cops about these monsters! Some people just don't deserve to be parents!
lol i doubt it im sure she got a deal
Yeah, but they did a crappy job hiding her identity and if one of them wants to hurt her they can easily find out where she is and get someone to do it.
This is by far the worst case I have ever heard. Its just horrendous, there are no words to describe it. Poor Jeremiah, I just cannot believe what he had to go through. The only comfort is that he is at peace now but this should never have happened in the first place 😢 I can't get my head around how someone can do this to another human being
I don't want to make myself sound barbaric, I did cry when Tracy was crying at her son's burial site and I cried when the sister gave her account of what happened to her brother. But I do like how you take these stories and almost paint the subject as a victim and then give us a plot twist and rip it all way, like "Man I really felt for them feeling so trapped and come to find out she was in on it???!!" Mind blown!
Of course she was, she's totally fake crying, it's obvious.
Exactly!
You don’t sound barbaric, you sound like someone who is caring and empathetic. She’s obviously good at manipulating-it’s not your fault for believing her, it’s her fault for manipulating in the first place.
You shouldn't either judge a book by their cover or personalize a persons telling of an event. Empathy is one of the worst things to have as a judge or leader; it can and will cause you to overlook the obvious and make bad judgement calls. Empathy is only good in proper context. People don't seem to realize that virtue is not blanket actions or thoughts but the proper actions or thoughts for a given situation.
It is also important to understand that seeing people as either victim or perpetrator is almost always a fools interpretation of a human being. For the majority of the time people are both sometimes simultaneously.
@@sad.jackfr00tThat is terrible advice. If you get manipulated you share in the blame. That's just the truth of the matter and empathy unchecked leads to many terrible things like enabling bad behaviors, poor judgement or the grooming of narcissism for those that are the recipient of said empathy.
That poor baby, I hope he's finally found peace somehow. And I hope his sister is finally getting the help she needs in every way possible. How anyone can look at such a happy, smiley child (ANY child) and not risk themselves to protect them is beyond me.
Twelve years for sitting back and watching that happen to her son. Twenty-one for participating in it. And the coward took his own life knowing what would happen to him. Justice was not served for Jeremiah...
I have never cried so hard watching a true crime case. Even babies. He was a teenager. But he was so innocent and pure yet soooo broken 😭🤬 god poor baby.
I watched this yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it. My sons are 13 and 17 and it breaks my heart that a young boy was treated like this. I came back to the video to get the boys name so I can do more research.
I feel genuine sorrow for the fate of this little man who clearly just had the best of intentions for all of those around him, who had his life cut short by a genuinely evil coward.
Typical for his murderer to take the easy way out and prove his guilt at the same time by escaping punishment the way he did…
I hope Jeremiah’s sister completely recovers and has a long, healthy, prosperous and fulfilling life with a happy family so that her unfortunate innocent brother’s blood can live on through her future generations🙏🏻
"The Office of Medical Investigator also found that the boy’s jaw was broken in two places, to the point where a bone poked through Valencia's gums, likely as a result of a 'final beat-down' on November 25, the day the boy died, prosecutors said.
Lacerations consistent with sexual assault were also discovered in the boy's autopsy, and portions of his body 'had possibly been burned.'
'A perfectly healthy 13-year-old boy could barely walk, couldn’t eat and needed a cane,' the District Attorney said, according to the Journal. 'Nuñez was watching his little brother hobbling around on a cane, bleeding on it, and did nothing.'
Evidence of Valencia's blood was found in his room and throughout the family's home, but wasn't 'visible to the naked eye,' prosecutors said. The largest amount of blood was found in the fireplace in Ferguson's bedroom, where Valencia was confined behind a specially-made door."

HE LIVED LITERAL HELL!
RIP Jeremiah. 💔 you deserved a better life.
The phone call at 1:02:37 told me everything I need to know about her. She was obsessed with that murderer of hers; the second part of that call proves it! She's laughing like a school girl with him, hoping he feels the same about her; hoping he gives af about her, which he most likely didn't. Jeremiah was targeted. He was the child in their family who was highly concentrated on, gangstalked, abused, and taken out of here. They say it's always that one child (usually the middle sibling) who's hated the most, which hurts me to even admit. These two filthball demonic mfs deserved each other, but didn't deserve Jeremiah! The only upside to this story is that he's no longer with them, and the baby boy's also no longer suffering. I do, however, hope the mother and Jordan suffer in prison and, when they finally meet their demise, rot in hell...just like that coward lover of hers. RIP, beautiful Miah! 💔

This case is beyond frightening, after watching this I read up that Jeremiah had also been raped, had a sledgehammer dropped on his hands, multiple fractured ribs, had been severely burned, his jaw was broken in 2 places so much so that a peice of bone protruded through his gums, literally just imagine your absolute worst nightmare ever actually being your reality, at 14 years old!

This is a perfect example about how legal negligence can become deadly. The Thomas guy has displayed more than plenty of signs that showed his unwillingness to change. He was a danger to society and the judge should have locked him up for good. DV is a violent crime and should be treated as such. How many times does a woman or child have to die? Why doesn’t the justice system take domestics violence seriously. If someone is willing to harm their spouse or child, they’re willing to do a lot more. Despicable.
For sure. Though It's not just women and children, men too are victims of DV. Anyone can perpetrate abuse, and anyone can be a victim
@@gray3508 absolutely, but the most likely to die from abuse are women and children. I am in no way trying to downplay abuse that men face at all though.
Monsters are real. Thank God for angels 🙏
It’s so sad to think about what that child went through with them 3 as his caregivers. My heart breaks to know that young mans inner thoughts while everything was happening to him. I know his sister was thinking am i next if i say something? It’s so sad to hear everything that poor kid went through. May he rest in peace ♥️
That poor child. He wanted his mother to love him so severely that he endured all this abuse. Deep down, he knew that his mother would turn on him if he spoke up, so he never did to get whatever little love she likely showed him every so often to manipulate him. Thomas is a monster for murdering him, but the ''mother'' is so much worse because she never loved him and kept him in this environment. She murdered that child's spirit slowly and enjoyed every moment of it. May she rot in jail forever! Rest in power, little one.
I'm glad that little girl got away from that family. Complete monsters. I hope prison is treating her well. I've never been so happy to hear about someone offing themselves, but hearing Thomas did that made me feel a little better about this story.
This actually is the most twisted case I've ever heard. You got me this time, EWU.
Seriously... everything about this is disgusting. I wish Jeremiah could have been rescued... everyone who sees this fantasizes about a reality where, somehow, he could have been saved posthumously by our wishes. And it reminds me that there are people now who need to be saved.
It's actually insane that this guy takes the police out to the general area of the burial and tries to provide clues to where the body is while at the same time saying he was never there. Like "Yeah so the body is out here somewhere and the person who buried Jeremiah said you could find the body if you follow these very specific directions. But I wasn't there." As if the person who buried the body would divulge such sensitive and specific information to another person in the first place.
This world sucks.
I’m surprised this doesn’t have more likes
And so do people
I saw a deep dive on this boy a couple weeks ago abd I watch tons of true crime but what happened to this boy was extreme and so so sad. This poor boy suffered so much it’s one of the saddest I’ve ever heard .
It's definitely is sadly, its up there with Takoda Collins and Gabriel Fernandez
The fact that a judge disregarded the recommendation by the probation officer to send him to prison mare weeks before Jeremiah was killed...what a justice system smh
It’s disgusting that the people who make the decisions (parole boards and judges) to release these monsters for early release do so with absolute impunity! 😡 If had any level of accountably for crimes committed after the criminals were released perhaps they might make wiser decisions.
This case made me so ANGRY. I could not listen to what that poor child went through. I had to fast forward. I was too triggered. Thank you for your continued work on this channel. This one was just 😭. Fly high sweet Jeremiah ❤❤❤
May all the innocent victims, especially the children, rest in peace. Humans are truly the one species capable of extreme evil. Makes me sick the things these people did, especially to their own children. 😢
Thank you for the hard work you do to bring us these accounts of the crimes committed by nasty people. You always narrate in a way that helps us understand the system and procedures of interrogations, back story and outcome. Respect EWC
Good on that inmate and her sister for backing up her choice to come forward and allow the truth for Jeremiah to come to light. Hopefully that family support system helps her succeed when she get out of prison.
She told to get out early. It took them hours of trying to get her to talk. She was only willing to talk once they offered her early release. I think she is selfish and I know she will pay for that for the rest of her life. She didn’t want to bring justice to the boy, she wanted out early
@kateharless5659 whoa wait do u think she kept making the detectives dig and try to make her talk for a while bc she was possibly waiting for them to offer some type of deal? But she didn't know how to go about it.... 😳
She’s a child murderer
I think she was scared of being labeled a snitch and being retaliated against, at the least she still would have to be relocated. Obviously she felt bad for the kid Bc something similar happened to her brother growing up. If she did not care she wouldn’t have told her sister
@@kateharless5659 I disagree, more than likely she saw the opportunity of putting this behind her. Before there was fear that the rest of her sentence would be shadowed by this
guys , Tracey is every tiktoker with filters you follow now in 4 years
As someone who watches true crime stories a lot, this really was a hard watch for me seeing how this young boy fought to stay positive despite everything he was going through resulting in his sad and unfortunate demise. He deserved so much better than this it’s truly heartbreaking. He never stood a chance being in the presence of monsters like this, that’s the saddest part.
Looking at Jeremiah’s beautiful smile listening to what they did to him has me in tears. A mix of sorrow, rage, and heartbreak.
My favorite true crime channel by a long shot. I thank ewu’s team for their hard work and days of work to provide us with such high quality content. Also thank you for covering cases like this so their names are more know and will not be forgotten.
I used to hate this guy's narrations on these videos, now I can't watch one without it lol
Heartbreaking. Poor boy.
To realize that there are millions like him.
I watch and listen to a lot of true crime and this one… this one has made me understand why people need mental health breaks… the fact there are no parents to grieve and love him…. I just wow
His family, the system, everyone failed him. He was gone so long and no one even bothered to chase it up
Poor Jeremiah, he deserved so much better... Rest in peace, Jeremiah!
The detective who assured Tracy that his whole heart was in the investigation was so kind. Such a good soul
Wonder how he felt afterwards, knowing that she was part of it all? Tracy obviously didn't learn anything from him - he had more compassion for her son than she did.
I watched probably hundreds of these UA-cam videos, and never have I ever got mad and upset until this one. That poor boy, a needless and pointless murder. RIP, young man, may you be flying high where ever you are now.
I’ve been binge watching these videos for a few days and this video is heartbreaking I can’t imagine the pain that poor boy went thru emotionally and physically they deserve to rot away in jail rip baby boy 💔
RIP Jeremiah. I'm truly sorry for the way you were treated and wish your story could've ended up different.
EWU has always proved themselves worthy of extensive recognition and praise for all the dedication and hard work that goes into every single one of their case analyses. May God bless them.
YES!!!!
Very true
Every time they release a video they literally make their mark as the best true crime on UA-cam-for all the reasons you described- plus their consistency, quality and length of features.
Thats exactly right!
It's an attention grabber for sure, but it's hard to tell which ones you've watched and which ones you haven't. The titles really need changed or at the very least, have some identifying information distinguishing one from another.
I have no words for this.....
There's a special place in hell for people who hurt lil kids. Just seeing the lil boy's face I tear up, can't imagine how they did that. How inhuman do they have to be :(
Not if they repent and asked for forgiveness 😆
I'd like to think that the little guy fought and endured until the end. He woulda been a great adult considering how he still cared about his mother even when she abandoned him. Rip
Most people love their parents regardless. He was a good person his "family" didn't deserve
