If you have a child, they are your responsibility.
Not if the government will pay and raise them for me 🙏
This so sad, his mother in the background knowing her son murdered someone.
He looks like he has a lot of anger in his eyes.
@@maxbang1813 Both children’s parents? Shouldn’t the child that murdered parents to accountable based on what his home life was like?
Facts 👌
I remember way back in the day a 14 kid from my neighborhood broke into an elderly folks home and they ended up returning while the kid was in the home. He brutally murdered the elderly couple and got out at 25 years old. Well, a couple of months later a Cop caught him dragging a dead body over to a dumpster. He's now serving Life without Parole
Wow that's so crazy glad he was caught
Let me guess, was he African-American?
Racist@@jacekpaszkowski2000
What story is that please?
@@jacekpaszkowski2000has there ever been a African American school shooter ?
You know you failed as a parent & human when you & your kid are in court together.
Failed aint the word
Some kids just bad seed
Yes I have to agree with you his parents failed him
Its soooo sad for that child. He never had a chance
Omg I’m so upset for the child and the victim this is so hard to watch
I pray for both the family who lost their son and the boy who murdered the child
They are all family now and getting along great
you actually said a prayer,i doubt it.
Me too both are JUST SAD!
@@woke2truth452absolutely agree 😭
Right sadness indeed 😢
All of these people calling all of us horrible because we think he needed a way harsher sentence. You guys saying that "He's a child" and that he deserves a second chance, or he's rehabitable would not be saying this if this was your beautiful baby that was murdered by being stabbed in the back! and if you were in that court room hearing every single detail on what he did premeditative to plan for this you would be saying longer too. You are definitely not putting yourself in the victims shoes. Having to bury your 9 year old son and live with this every single day.
Exactly
Absolutely 100% CORRECT
Yup exactly
Exactly 💯
I can't even imagine!!!
Justice for the murdered victim need too be served
To
Will the family who lost this boy get free counseling and therapy?!?! Everyone who is fighting for this boy who unalived another boy should take him into their home and see how that works out for their families!!
Murder is not just a (mistake)
Huh!
Wow, I so feel for the parents of the murdered child. No justice!
Nope, it was all about saving the murderer. This kid is already hurting animals, Setting fires and robbing stores. And then I’m murderer at 12 years old., he is going to be a serial killer when they let him out at 21 y.o.
If he is able to use his story to deter others from committing similar crimes then at least Connor didn’t die in vein.
@ vain
Well, his story would be meaningless and I wouldn't even care about hearing his story. I would rather hear about the child's life he killed and maybe tell everyone about the promising life he took might make a difference. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter because he is out and free. His victim was a child as well and he is dead. The victim's Mother and father have had the absolute worst nightmare come true. We will see him kill again. He should have been put in a mental intuition forever

PRISON DOES NOT REHABILITATE YOU
No nowadays inmates on tiktok having a ball keep these killers behind bars at sny age
I agree it’s not designed for that when it supposed to be… they need to revamp and change everything but they never will!
No but it stops them from hurting other innocent people/children!! 🤨
Amen 😢🙏🏽❤️
Because if you research adult prisons are not to rehabilitate they're for retribution Juvenile is rehabilitation
The cold, and callous nature in the way he looked over at the prosecutor, only tells me we haven’t heard the last from this murderer. Six years is an insult to humanity. I feel so terrible for the victim’s family.
I feel for a child that felt his option was to kill another child.
@ I feel more for the child he murdered, and their family.
There’s man’s justice and there’s God’s justice.
@kimberlysimmons6395You should go and check your head IMMEDIATELY. Do not be around kids. 💀
It’s so difficult not to feel anger against him but he’s a child, I’m almost certain that he’s had a very bad upbringing, in most of these cases they have, they’ve usually witnessed horrible violence, parents need looked at more closely and should be punished , I’m sure people would be more responsible and try and to do a better job of bringing their kids up
Prayers for the parents who loss their child, and prayers for this child, that he gets all the help that he needs and will be a better person to never reoffend. This is sad. 😢🙏🏽
Yes
He will, though. Having these thoughts and cravings at his age is NOT normal.
I deeply belief he Will nevet change he has experiencia the traste of Bloom at ducha a young age but suponer or later he Will once again so sorry for both familys
Never say never,there is hope for a change in this child with the right guidance,love and protection and care🎉
People do not come back from murder.He will never be a better person.
My condolences to the family of murder child.
My sincere condolences to the family whose child was killed. I pray God's comfort, strength, and peace. I also pray for the boy that took his life. Him and his family needs prayer and serious help.
My heart goes out to both.....because they are BOTH CHILDREN!
The mom didn’t even look at her son when she got up and left but he stared at her waiting for just a glance.
The kid needs love.
He what? He needs 40 years to give him time to come to terms with what he's done and make some serious changes to his LIFESTYLE
@@JoySmith-z6phe won’t be able to understand the extent of his actions until he’s old
I saw that. This is such a sad case. I hope the minister keeps working with him.
@@JoySmith-z6pThis is a child. A child who had horrible parenting and who knows what was going on at home. It is no excuse. Come on, at that age the parents are fully responsible
At the end when his mother left, not one glance or comment to her son. So sad...
She kept wiping her face, no tears !,,,,,,
Not a single one in sight @@theresacormier3253
The fires and torture of mice were clear signs of severe mental/emotional health problems. He was probably releasing frustration over his miserable cruel cycle he was caught in!
Not only mental and emotional you people forget that there’s a spiritual side to every human being. This was clearly a spiritual issue. Demonic. These children what they watch on these games what they watch on TV, what they experience what they see and what’s in their history, family historycomes out later on. This is clearly the money you don’t rehabilitate demonic issues you seek deliverance.
not necessarily. some people are just born this way, and will express violent behavior even if they come from a stable environment.

Yes I saw that, what a witch , yes she is the course of all this!
Well, she didn't care about any of her kids and -bused them ( including him), so why should she ( looks like a man to me) pretend she's a loving mommy during this trial?
I didn't even realize that was an actual woman until I skimmed thru the comments .
All the perks, help, resources… for the killer, and NONE for the victim’s family. And they call that justice??
How doyou know that the victime's family are getting no support?

@@JamesBrown-mt5rucause the mother stated during her moment how she is footing the bill for MH aftercare for her son the sibling- $2500 out of pocket now! And def will be more!
This kid was pretending to play with the little boy while his parents were watching so they didn't suspect he was being stabbed. This kid needed more than this tiny sentence. He's a psychopath.
Setting the way for a life behind bars...
He should never get out!!
Your so true,,
He was a fuking baby! Juvy life is only until age 23 for a reason
Prison isn’t the answer. This is a child!
My heartbreaks for Connor's family. His brothers impact statement was precious. I pray for them. ❤
🙏🙏🙏🤣❤️❤️
I feel so bad for the Victims Family. They got NO justice with this sentence.
Child services failed this kid. What a tragedy all around.
His "PARENTS" and people like "YOU" failed this kid for not doing nothing while this kid is growing up running the streets with NO DISCIPLINE !!! Society is not responsible for these monsters. Their inner circle is which includes foremost the PARENTS, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, SCHOOLS, etc. This country is plagued with TRASHY PARENTING !! SOCIETY'S DEMISE. Got that 🤡 !?
Child Service's ⁉️ What about his Parents ❓ 🤔
@annmoore8696 🎯🎯🎯🎯
I'm sure he was a bad egg at birth.
I never understand the low punishments for a minor. 6,5 Years??? He'll be 19 years old when he gets out, his whole life in front of him! Unbelievable!! He has done an adult crime he should get an adult punishment! Once you know right from wrong you are responsable for your actions!
Amen 🙏
If you listen to the judge statements then you know that after being the juvenile sentence the court will see if he needs to sentenced in adult prison.
@karenkneisley288 But if they decide that he doesn't have to go to adult prison he still only served 6,5 years and that's no justice for the victim and his family.
You clearly don’t understand the full story.
He already is out was released a year ago
I pray that this child gets all of the help he needs and I feel like his mother failed him as a parent.
What about his father, uncles, aunties, cousins etcetera? They all failed this child.
There is no way this child understands this. The judge lost me 5 minutes in
His parents should be in jail for this.
Agree
She is
She is sitting behind him in chains too.
@@shabrinasmith86 Oh my!! I was hoping that wasn't his mom. Perhaps he didn't have a chance at a normal life.

So sorry for this families loss ❤️🩹🙏
I am sorry for the family and for the poor CHILD! You know a child like you were. he clearly had no guidance.
This boy should be in juvenile detention until he’s 21 with education and therapy, his parents should be in jail for life.
gonna research outcome
😂😂😂😂
Absolutely!
I bet his parents would be offended and argue with childless women on why they should have children.
Would you take it easy over there judge Roy Bean
People’s brains aren’t fully formed until they’re 25. Not justifying his actions, however he absolutely needed to get mandatory education, mental healthcare, emotional support, and stability in his life. His mother is in chains behind him, who raised this child?
Something is wrong with him, and other children that do this. Major MAJOR mental illness and needs intense therapy.
Yeses exactly....it's obvious that something is not right mentally....what normal child would do that!? Gotta ask yourself who failed him!?
Sadly I feel this kid, is too far gone. Because he will be in prison not a group home with loving stable people that make sure he gets intense mental health support and proper treatment and medication. He with be with other children that also have mental health issues. Kids who are violent, like himself. 😢
@@triciasingleton8800 Did he not get sentenced to the same facility the judge hyped up that another one of his young murderers sentenced was going through and is quite robust and well performing (and secure to keep the scared people feeling safe like he's going to escape and go on a rampage). I can't remember the name but he mentioned a few facilities.
Perfectly stated.
However, at 12 years old the human brain is 100% capable of knowing right from wrong. And as he was trying to hide what he was doing he full well knew what he was doing was very wrong.
Disgusting the pity this judge shows for this child who killed another child even younger than himself. The family’s loss should be taken into consideration. How dare this child’s death be so blatantly ignored! There is no justice found for the loss of this nine-year-old child. Shame on our justice system! 😡😡😡
Democratic judge
The Judge sounds like his lawyer but the judge might have been afraid.
No just a human judge
6 years? He understands what he did.
It's easy to judge from the outside man but at the end of the day he still a kid and I don't know what you might have been doing when you was a kid and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't tell the truth if you could but I'm pretty sure you got family friends that were doing things they didn't have no business as a kid I know I was I had a son at the age of 15 So it's easy to judge but they also lets me know you can't be part of the church right because the church should not judge so pretty much in your statement I just learned everything about you. And work on that 🦃 neck you got going on. Shame on our Justice system?!?! Shame on our gyms.....
So many people failed this kid this is very very sad for everyone involved
Yea. The setting things on fire and neglect to animals is a sign of molestation. There is a bigger picture than what is known. He found someone vulnerable to hurt & kill. This was what was done to him except being killed. This is sad all the way around!

What is the story! My heart hurts for this kid and the victim! The courts are some kinda insensitive court crap😡
No he should not get any sympothy
I really don’t think this kid needs a long time in jail his parents need to be held accountable to
Blame the Parents!!!! Period!!!👍
I would not sentence him , I will keep him under house arrest and lock up parents for 10 years
Disgusting sentence judge should be ashamed they to change the laws for minors he shouldn’t get out till his 25 and have lifetime supervision if I was the victims family I would take justice in my own hands utterly disgusting sentence
Thenyouronlyhopewouldbethatyougetthe SAME JUDGE
This happened some years back. Per an interview in 2021, Jamarion is indeed out of the group home and he speaks of remorse, accountability, taking responsibility and the way he continues to move forward. He also speaks quite compassionately about how the family of Connor, his victim, feels and has publicly apologized to the family often. He indicates they have every right to never accept the apology, but would gladly give it to them in person, but when they are ready to speak with him. It looks like he has indeed been rehabilitated, which is quite possible when you are talking about a child who commits crimes. Do your research, rehabilitation is possible in these cases, and you can't tell by looking at them. So far it appears the judge was right to order counseling rather than incarceration. Continued prayer for Connor's family for a peace that passeth all understanding!
Love to hear this positive update
@@jaylynparker4400if this did not happen to you & your child..the family that lost a child...you really shld hv an opionion on this. For me he needs 20yrs...& shld be fully rehabbed..based on his conduct those 20yrs...he can get his education & possibly a trade when he gets out at 30yrs. 7yrs wud fly past & he might not learn nothing or matured.
Watch this space. He tortured animals. Big red flag.
Tell that to CONNOR!!! HIS apology isn't worth the breath it takes for him to say it!! He will be able to go out and murder someone else if they make him angry!!! WHY would the family want to talk to this little MONSTER!!!
Look up Jamarion’s Journey
This is sad everything that happens like this at a youth is from lack of love and structure.
Some people are born without a conscience. BS lack of love blah blah blah
💯
He's a psychopath.
It's possible this is why this happened but it's not a given. There are evil people in this world who are evil simply because they are.
SPOT ON....NO REAL LOVE AND STRUCTURE.
The parents of this kid should serve a sentence on the kids behalf for failing him as a mother and father. I cannot even begin to imagine how the parents of the deceased boy must be feeling. A total loss of justice.
I had two boys, and I know how hard it was as a single mom keeping those boys straight,also the system is against you as Parents.. don’t make a mistake,Social worker is coming for you.
The mother did not make the choice to kill someone the child did, and because they passed the law, the child could call the police on you. The kids nowadays use that as a weapon against their parents, I pray for both the families 😢
@joao1974 YOU HAVE THE SMARTEST COMMENT ON HERE! Because I don't know how anyone thinks that beating a child with an extension cord that left lifelong scars would produce a child that doesn't grow angry or show extremely negative impulsive behavior. I got occasional beatings as a child but NOTHING like what this boy did!
I’m going through it with my teenage daughters doing everything I can and I just feel weak there’s no help
The parents didn't make him kill anyone. U don't know what is going on in the child's life for u to say the parents failed him
Wonder if they had him drugged. This is horrible that a 12 yo would plan a murder and his choice of prey would be vulnerable.
If you are an irresponsible parent, how can you expect to raise responsible children?
They don’t expect that. They just collect welfare on em. Don’t care about the kids
I'm glad this judge was familiar with this family enough to empathize with the child's mental state.
How does such a small child get to this point? People had to know about his beatings, and no one stepped up to get him help. Shame on all neglectful, sinister parents, teachers and doctors, or whoever dropped the ball, who contributed to this brutal crime.
Lady, you think teachers could have stopped this brutal murder??? In today’s public school system??? You are behind the times.
I agree! Most of these criminals are born in a Culture of Violence and too many excuses are made for their behaviors so nothing not one thing will change!
CPS failed everyone in this case. They have to be the most worthless group of people. This happens way too often.
He’s hurting because of how he’s been brutalized by adults who are supposed to protect him:.
He’s hurting? He killed a little kid.
Bless the parents that loss their child my thoughts and prayers go out to you ❤️
And to the CHILD who did it. He's. CHILD! LIKE YOU WERE ONCE
The victim's family did not lose their child. He was ripped from them by the most appalling human flotsam that needs incarcerating for a very long time to give any comfort to the family. What child does this sort of crime? As an adult, he will do the same
@@marciamcgrail5889 He's a child ...the circumstances are to blame not the child who's brain is not fully developed...you know like your brain?!?!
The parents that lost their precious child and the child who did it are both in my thoughts and prayers.
I see people that are on drugs in jail longer than that.
YES!!!!
No you dont, thats a lie.. you dont even go to PRISON just for "using" drugs. & Im sure youre talking about adults.. This is A Child..
6•5 YEARS, that's disgusting, he should have served at least 20 if he could be rehabilitated, Clearly he has phsyco tendency, both parents failed him and should be jailed. The poor child and parents of the passed child get no peace, no justice, nothing. That judge has no morality nor understanding of what the other family is going to suffer for life they didn't loose a child he was taken
It’s almost guaranteed that this little monster will grow up to be a big monster and murder again.
Well you’re a messed up individual that’s a child!! Just miss guided
This is so sad for all😢he is a child😢children killing children 🙏🏻 rip little Connor
Comparing them both as poor Victims and saying RIP Connor is delusional and disgraceful when one older boy made a decision on another young boy that made NO decision. I'm not saying this kid didn't face Challenges and issues BUT THEY ABSOLUTELY DO NOT COMPARE!!!
And I argue, that a child murderer is aware of what he did. He may not be aware of the gravity but his intentions were there.
This kid needs mental help and his parents or whomever raised him should be put in jail.
I wonder what sentence the judge would have given if it were his own child or grandchild who was killed.
The same because the suspect is a CHILD!!!
Parents should be held responsible for ANYTHING their kids do when under the age of 18.
THE BOY SEEMS WITHOUT EMOTION
Psychopath-no empathy.
Chances are very high he will harm others....if that happens the judge and others need to be held accountable
AGREE BUT NOTHING WILL CHANGE!
8 years is never enough compared with what he did. And just looking at him, there’s no Remorse in him.
He will do the Worst if released soon into the society. Be Careful!!!
This “child” stabbed to death a 9 year old. It was premeditated!! He’s a clear danger to society. He should NEVER be allowed out of prison. Some people are simply beyond rehabilitation.
He was released 3 years ago
@@MrPickledede what in the actual f***???!! I’m just don’t understand it. Thanks for letting me know!!
I understand how you feel and I am not defending his heinous crime. Please keep in mind that this young man is a child. He most likely understands right from wrong however, he lacks the maturity and emotional intelligence to fully understand the weight of what he has done.
@@coachtouden so at what point does he get it? They do not go into detention with all that evil and rage in their hearts and miraculously come out and do not re-offend. The stats need to be posted of how many re-offend. When it is a serious crime like murder this shows they have no regard for life or rules. People who have no regard for life or rules do not deserve to be out walking in society to plot another innocent persons life. This is beyond ridiculous all these kids committing murder being released at 21. It's evil.
Only six and a half years in prison for killing a 9 years old. That's a slap on the hand. I feel horrible for the family of the young person who got stabbed.
The actual sentence was 20 to 60 years-depending on how well he does in the juvenile home. It will be reopened after his 21st birthday, to determine his eligibility for parole. If not, the remaining sentence will be served in an adult facility.
That kid never shed a tear for what he did. Heartless kid.
Did you not hear why he didn’t show his emotions?
That is called NO empathy, like of a soul to fill for another
He looks very angry to Me 😢
I think he's mentally not able to feel compassion.

Crap
he is devoid of any emotion at all. Unbelievable
Zero justice served here. I'm a mother and can't imagine this happening if my child was one he killed. I feel so horrible for them. The dead won't be living at all so he shouldn't be either or at least not live with any privileges. No sympathy for him. He knew what he was going to make happen and basically got away with it. Tho country makes me sick the way the laws are here.
He'll probably get money when released to give him a 'head-start' as well.
Makes me sick too.
Would you feel the same way about the sentencing if it was your 12-year-old child who was the defendant?

You judge will live to Regret this sentence not putting into Consideration the Pains of the Victim’s Family. This boy is a hardened Soul.
It won't bring their loved one back so,
From reports, he has turned his life around. His rehabilitation was successful.
This judge made a grave error. A longer punishment was needed in this case. He shouldn't get out for at least 20 years due to the brutality of his offense and the pain he caused his victim.
He was not tried as an adult. That would be an illegal sentence. Sorry you don’t understand that child are different than adults, regardless of the crime.
Should have gotten 50 yrs....not life but 50 yrs. My belief is ...once you kill, you will forever be branded a killer

You didn't watch the video? He's serving time. the CHILD Is serving time.
😮 he's just a baby himself. This breaks my heart
We need adult time for adult crimes laws.
Kids cut up because they lack attention and love. The homes are broken. Parents need to be more responsible and take care of their kids. Pay attention to them. Be there for them. I raised 3 by myself. I didn't put anything, anyone before them. I made sure they were well nurtured and taken care of. We've got a lot of selfish parents. Now that they are older and on their own. I do things for me. Prayers for all the children of the world 🌎 🙏🏻 ❤️
This is a child. 12 years old is a child. 12 years old your impulse control isn't even close to being developed. The situation is so sad. He needs help. Prision isn't going to help him. Prision doesn't even help adults.
His mom look very messed up. Stressed, hard, maybe indifferent. I hope she feels some guilt and responsibility. But for everyones sake i also hope she gets help
He looks like a child and is a child. Sad😢
Don't ever let him out
If you are scared of your kids behavior that is a feeling you should never ignore- reach out for help from schools, even the police, call them over, ask for advice, children deserve help when they are acting out it is serious & you can’t ever ignore their cries for help. Even cps call them tell them you need parenting classes to do stuff the right way. There is nothing wrong with that
Sickening. Now Judge, bring the other child back to life, oh... you can't. That killer showed no remorse at all.
His parents 100% caused this....poor kid
No one should lose a child like this
He’s a killer and should remain locked up
We need to pray for our young men this is so sad!!!!😢😢😢
If he’s committing murder at this age, what will he be capable of at 20???
Which is why the judge sentenced him to be rehabilitated
Success and change
He is actually older than 20 now and has been free for a couple of years now and he’s a better person doing so much better after going through counseling and taking responsibility for his actions. Rehabilitation is possible we don’t have to jail people for life always.
@@yourenotready82really? Do you know him personally? Does he have a job? Is he a productive member of society or is he on welfare?
@@yourenotready82I pray that you're right .
A serial killer in the making ! Look at historical crimes of this nature. They start young and their first victims are animals, just like this kid with mice. He should face life in jail!! Failed by his parents and the poor kid he murdered has been failed by the flawed justice system.
So this kid gets out at 18????
Murder is murder killed another mother child,he needs to be in prison for 30 years
Can't tell if his momma behind him is 14 or 45 lmfao
Or a man or a woman?
Is the mom behind him?: I thought it was a dude😂@@michelleg4069
Is his mother incarcerated? I’m just discovering this case.
She looks scary.
Idc what anyone says. A child should have stricter punishment than adults. The likelihood of a child committing a crime like this “just because” is too likely and you have to show them that they can’t do whatever they want and get away with it. That’s the problem with a lot of your children now.
If Connor is not coming back home, neither should he.
I am here watching my son’s face and tearing up. I don’t know why UA-cam wanted me to see this but my heart is heavy for them and the parents.
Would the Guardian Ad Litem let her Grand kids play with this kid on the playground?!?
This child is a psychopath. His reaction is strange and he has the classical background, of hurting animals and he seems to show no fear…he is a danger to us all. No justice
Prayers 🙏 🙏 🙏 for everyone involved
I dont understand why criminals in the US say they made a 'mistake'. To my ears this word really minimises their action as well as distancing themselves from it. They tend to shy away from admitting they made a decision (often a conscious one), that the choice was the wrong one, that they have caused pain and suffering, that their action was cruel and unnecessary, that it was immoral and illegal, depraved and evil. Surely 'making a mistake' is trivial compared to 'committing a crime' or 'killing a person'.
So America... Are you ready to ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM YET???
A resounding no. Though after this last election, it might slowly be creeping towards that
@@zaqwsx2811 Really? Meanwhile the typical mass murderers and radicalized murderers "that their family or friends would EVER believe would do such a thing" are cropping up daily, wreaking havoc.
America has addressed the elephant in the room and there remains millions more ELEPHANTS standing with their muskets waiting..
@@zaqwsx2811 They'll just find a way of blaming it on something else.
That mommy looks like a straight up prison cellie of Bubba's? Not at all.....
