murder and sexual crimes should have no age limit, unacceptable
Agreed. When the crime is that extreme they KNOW what their doing
Yeah but what about the Tatum of limitations they can trie them when there 14 right?
Alot of children who were mol ested will preform the same acts they expirenced on other children. They usually don't really have an understanding that what they are doing is wrong. There is a good reason we don't hold children to the same standards as adults. Children have less impulse control and are still learning right from wrong. Obviously in think children should be held accountable for crimes they commit but to hold them to the same standards as adults would do more harm than good.
Absolutely. Fucking ridiculous
@@undetestable1this is true but they definitely shouldn’t be let off scott free. Otherwise they won’t learn and might do it again.
All violent youths need to be punished severely. No hiding their identity, no erasing their records. NOTHING. This is ridiculous.
Bruh no....
@@TheXavierClark1 Yes. or they will continue to hurt others.
@jasmine tapia severely punished though? Not just punished but severely, publicized and on record for life. Records is fine but the rest is just too much
@TheXavierClark1 it's their fault then, if they're gonna be violent then they should've been prepared for the consequences
@@TheXavierClark1 there this said "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
I saw a documentary on gangs in Japan that purposely recruit young kids because even if they kill, their punishment would be very minimal. They interviewed the kids (blurred faces) and they would say they know they won’t get in trouble so it’s a perfect time to try doing all these crimes. They are not scared. It was terribly disturbing to hear.
What was the name of the documentary?
Yeah tell us
@@daniellelopez3342 It’s been a while, but I tried to search for it. It might have been this one or something similar. They talked about the issue of teenagers knowing they get less punishment here too. At 30:15 and 33:50

When I was listening to this video I was literally thinking about how mafia/gangs could just use children to do crime for them. Well there you go...
A few days ago a korean middle schooler killed her friend and called the Police after admitting to the crime. The first question she asked them was if it's true she'd be treated as a minor
That's wild
What the f
Kids these days are not kids...some are straight up demons...i don't know how or why....but i saw them irl...still its really hard to take in😢
That’s crazy
Any normal person could see that these stupid laws are just condoning murder and these so-called "minors" know what they are doing very well.
It just so sad knowing that a hardworking 18 yr old is killed by some nasty 13 yr olds .
If only it were possible to trade them for the young man's life
This video shook me up bad
Some worthless 13 year olds. That victim’s life is more valuable than all of their’s PUT TOGETHER
I think about that after every true crime episode. It’s some garbage person who kills someone who would’ve benefited the world.
@@TecTitan Really...
I'm a believer in the lovely phrase "If you want to commit adult crimes and make adult choices, then you must face adult consequences." (in most cases)
exactly
i agree with this
me too
me too
I agree with this and i think it should be a worse consenquen because of them not even being sorry for the mother and not even caring for anyone
Why aren't the parents held responsible for their crimes. If they are below the age of accountability, then their parents should be responsible for their children's actions
Exactly..the parents should be the one accountable ..since they are all tolerating such actions..it's really disturbing..
Just saw this after posting my 2 cents.
No
...Because they didn't do the crime? Come on.
@@TUBESTEAKNIG But they're raising their kids with no discipline and are therefore enabling this kind of behaviour. This wasn't a one-off accident, this kind of criminal behaviour has been a reoccurring theme with these kids. The parents should AT LEAST be fined for their kids actions every time they've broken a law.
My mom has lung cancer and this year she was taking a walk and a car speeding down the road HIT HER and left her. In the dead of winter in Connecticut. She broke every bone in her body. Had to get new hips, etc. they hit her and left her for dead. So she had to be in hospice with Covid and cancer and not able to move for over a year. She lost her job. Her apartment. The person was NEVER CAUGHT or people. The police didn’t even try to look. She has to leave hospice with no place to go and still with cancer and broken bones.
She was so excited. She had just gotten a job after doing chemo for so long. Her cancer had just stopped growing.
So there are people out there who left a woman with cancer for dead in the middle of the road in winter and the police did nothing.
I am so angry and stressed. I just sold my house so I can’t even take my mom in. She lost the job and her ability to do anything on her own after cancer had taken so much with her and she still has to do chemo.
This really hits home.
I’m so sorry for you and your mother. Absolutely horrible of the criminal who did this to her and the police. I’m sending good thoughts for both of you, I hope she can still find her strength despite it all
That's heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. Sending love and prayers for you both.
Prayers for you mother and that God will handle the person that created this turmoil for yall🙏
Im so sorry I hope everything goes well
@@josefinxu9127 thank you. It's just so sad how cold the world is. I once found an old man in the middle of the road in winter drunk who cracked his head open and stayed with him until
The ambulance came and held his hand. I just can't believe how cold people can be to see something. And do nothing. And the police must be overwhelmed since it's low priority.
This law should not apply to violent crimes. Stealing some nail polish from a store is one thing, but this is full on criminal
You'd think there'd be a limit for getting out of jail. Sure they're young and the law is well intented but when you commit like 4 felonies in a single month there should be an actual consequence.
@@katrinascarlet5637Honestly though.
couldnt agree more
Even adults seem to get away or get less punishment than deserved what do you expect to happen with kids when it's no different with adults
Imagine a kid full on committing arson and burn a building killing up to 100 people and then see whether they consider letting them go or not 🤷♂️
Laws protecting minors SHOULD NOT include felonies
And murder
@@gargi8646 murder is a felony lol
Exactly.
I support reduced sentences for minors but not no punishment--especially in a case like this
@@UncleBuck3t yea I kinda..am dumb sorry
18:15 most TH-camrs would end the video here, but the fact that Stephanie and whoever else works on these videos puts so much effort and research to get the most details and tell the story so incredibly thoroughly leaving us with NO questions is incredibly admirable 😊
They certainly do a wonderful job giving the victims a voice.
This kids really think they’re in GTA💀
I’m tired of people treating children as if they are stupid and don’t know better. If a 2 year old can comprehend hitting someone isn’t okay, 5, 10, 13 knows what’s wrong. No matter age actions has consequences
I don't know any 2-year-old who knows it's not okay to hit someone unless it was taught to them, but nevertheless, I don't agree with the teens killing someone either
@@kywillis948 yes kids shouldnt be killing ppl
i completely agree. kids are incredibly intelligent.
@@kywillis948 obviously 🙄
yesss exactly
People need to keep in mind that prison isn't just a punishment. It's a way to keep dangerous people away from others. If these kids were properly dealt with, this wouldn't have happened.
agreed
Korean police force only functions properly for people with high profiles. The public can't do anything since the government doesn't give af they will just issue a public apology and call it a day.
in my country, the netherlands, like a lot of other european countrys prison is treated more like a mental rehabilitation process. especially for minors. it seems to be working tho. the chances of people committing crime in europe after they go to prison is way lower then in the us for example.
however i do agree some people are beyond help but in most cases theyre not.
crime with children is still a problem here too tho because we have similar laws where teenagers are treated diffrent then adults and theyre doing crazy things like walking around with knifes etc
Exactly!!
@@JustMe-vs1kj yes I agree that prison should be more like mental rehabilitation rather then like a punishment but the key is that they need to be far away from society until they get better.
This just reminds me of the case of Furuta Junko. It was so disturbing to read about. And her torturers, who violently kept her hostage and repeatedly beat and SA'd her were never punished due to their age. At least for this particular case. I've heard that since then they were thrown to prisons for different crimes.
Absolutely appauling!
From what I know at least one of them was thrown in for another SA case
Dude, one of them is on Twitter…
@@ferreira8649 why does he have a Twitter 💢
I'll never forget Junko Furuto after learning about what happened to her. Just horrible and no human being should ever endure such inhumanity and sadism let alone a young girl... Rip Junko ❤💔
The fact that some of her abusers are still on earth, living, and breathing in the oxygen they don’t deserve, sickens me.
I used to plan to visit S. Korea, but now the more I learn, the more I understand that it's the last destination on my list of places to visit.
Exactly. It's like I'm getting traumatized over and over with each new video. In all honesty I feel very stupid to have been so naive thinking it was a relatively peaceful place.
it’s so strange. the country has a low crime rate on paper but there are so many horrific crimes. it’s almost like the reason their laws are so lenient is to appear better and safer to be able to claim that they have a low crime rate.
Yeah stuff like this is why I've decided against visiting Japan if I ever had the chance to leave the states for a vacation
@@emknight2 why japan?
@@stefthorman8548Japan is also a bit similar to South Korea in terms of crimes and these mindsets. Some crazy murder cases, extreme bullying, etc has also happened there yet they claim Japan as peaceful and one of the safest countries.
I think we just found out why "bullying" is such a massive problem. Kids are out here torturing people and the law is encouraging it.
Honestly the stories of bullying that ive heard from Korea and Japan are horrible, litterally rªpe, m*urder, torture, wth is wrong in those places, unbelievable.
@@AnneaWasHere apparently they don't believe in punishing children
Ignore that comment I didn't mean to type that
I didn't understand why "bullying " was such a problem in korea. But, I guess we all know why from just this one case. The LAW should be protecting victims rather than the perpetrators - not the other way around. This disgusts me and knowing this angers me. I honestly teared up at one moment because it was so heartbreaking. I've NEVER done that whilst hearing of a case.
Even hearing about the 800 fee angered me. Sure it prevents rental companies from providing vehicles to minors to some degree, but that does not punish the children in any way. It just makes it inconvenient to them. Of course rental companies should be held accountable, however, the law is still protecting the children. There is NOTHING put in place to punish them.
@@kimmyjimmyfics9864 That's not it. In our country, children are criminally responsible from the age of fifteen, even for murder, and bullying is not that bad here, and in the last thirty years there have been two cases where a fourteen-year-old killed someone.
Hearing those parents' responses makes it abundantly clear why their children turned out to be such criminal assholes.
It always starts at home
fr like what kind of bloodline did they have
Some people should never be allowed to have kids...
Their literally the reason why some people say not every person should be a parent
Moral of this WHOLE STORY *use protection* 👍
Who are their parents? Why are they allowed to run the streets all hours of the night at 13 years! Why do they still have their cell phones or access to social media after the incident? Their laws need to change, because they are creating monsters!
They probably sneaked out 😬.
The true backstory is, they had school
@@maikiaxiong3789 did you miss the parents response? They have no problem with thwir kods behavior and they have no consequences. They don't have to "sneak out" The parents created these monsters.
@@ingloriousbetch4302 True, the parents and children should be both punished. They both played a role in kiIIing the guy.
I believe it was last year or so. In a town near me, two 12 year old girls stabbed their classmate to death and left her to bleed out in the woods. No, they weren´t punished and the two familys moved away. This also sparked a heated debate about the age of "Strafmündigkeit", when can you be legaly held responsible for your actions.
As someone who works with children, this is very hard to answer, and I believe a case by case approach would maybe work. Since in that age, their emotional developement is so different.
Still, to commit hard crimes like SA, murder and general assault, you have to be a certain type of person to step over that treshold of violence. That shouldn´t be ignored, no matter the age of the culprit.
I was also going to say it's quite similar in Germany. In general I believe in the ability to correct a child's or teenager's path and their own ability to develop but in extreme cases it does leave you questioning the system...
@@suann9790 Yeah. It's also important for the victims that there is at least the semblance of justice. Accidents happen of course, but deliberatly harming someone and then getting off scott free because of your age, does leave a bad taste in my mouth. One can only hope that the horror about what they did will come when they are older, and will make them better people...
Ich kann mich an den schrecklichen Fall erinnern und bin der Meinung, dass die Strafmündigkeit unbedingt nach unten gesetzt werden muss. Dieses "mir kann nichts passieren, weil ich noch keine 14 bin" bringt eine gefährliche Sicherheit für Kinder/Jugendliche mit sich. Wir haben so jetzt schon ein größeres Problem mit Kindern, die aufgrund von den ständigen Lockdowns schlecht bis gar nicht sozialisiert wurden, so dass wir eingreifen müssen.
Even if they’re kids they should still be held accountable for their actions
ikr, theyre old enough to know what their doing is wrong and evil yet they still did it they need to face the consequences
No matter your age, you have a brain, you should know BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. These laws are disgusting and unfair. I hate this world.
Petition for the children to pay for his funeral
Literally toddlers are getting beat to the floor by their parents at home for a simple misdemeanor and their parents are most of the time not punished at all so why is it sooooo wrong to make these teenagers pay for taking a life?????
They all deserve LIFE IN PRISON! IDGAF if they're kids...
As a 13 year old I think this is absolutely disgusting. Even the thought of killing somebody is horrifying to me. These people need to be punished and don’t deserve to be released.
same
I am 14 but same
Same
@@Rae2710same
And the fact that they have no shame and guilt.
Why weren't the parents held liable? If my dog bites someone, I, the owner, am liable for her actions.
Why wasn't CPS involved? I don't imply that the teens had been abused but, it's clear that their parents aren't capable or willing to provide an education to their kids.
I'm from the EU and believe that prison should be a rehabilitation institution, not a punishment institution. I don't think kids belong in prison with adult criminals but there are reeducation programs, there's mandatory community service and other measures that could be taken.
I was wondering about the parents the whole time and then when you started speaking about their reactions, it explained everything about how the kids turned out that away. I hope S Korea changes its laws for everyone’s safety. It will only get worse. Would lawmakers feel the same if this happened to them? The parents should definitely bear some responsibility (financial)for the grieving mother. There are so many people that should NOT have kids. Shameful how cold and callous they all are.
Eight middle school students from 목일중학교 stole a car and drove to Daejeon in the middle of the night. At some point they hit a food delivery driver on a motorcycle and were pursued by police. The motorcyclist, a university student in his twenties, ended up succumbing to his wounds.
Since none of the students are over 14, they cannot be punished under Korean law. Originally no one knew who the students were, but the victim’s girlfriend was able to track down their social media accounts and got in touch with their friends who shared their photographs and KakaoTalk conversations with her.
Apparently these students are notorious in their neighborhood for breaking into stores at night, stealing from convenience stores, and taking pictures of themselves smoking outside of police stations.
The victim’s girlfriend has started a petition to change the law regarding juvenile delinquency. It already has over 500,000 signatures.
That’s great! Glad their is a petition. Rid this world of evil.
I hope they get the law changed.
Are you able to share the petition so we here can sign it too
Hoping everyone would be actively in support to Kun's mother and girlfriend ❤
@@dodioxoopey8843 maybe we can try to google it
These kids are not just criminals in the making, they already are! They are not "clueless" they *know* what they are doing. They need to be hold accountable.
right? if they said that they passed the red lights because they saw a police car, it means they knew exactly what they were committing!
@@xqeve They wouldn't survive a DAY in America. Korea needs to seriously change this law.
@@bluwu1586 fr.. this is such a sad story to hear and the injustice
Simple solution: The parents need to pay 10% of their monthly income to the mother until their kids become of age and then the 10% transfers to the kids for the rest of their life. They killed someone they need to pay for it. If not through the criminal system then the financial one. They will have a monthly reminder that never goes away.
Only 10%? It must be like 30 to 40 that is only right no money can heal the pain the mom suffered
@@jacklee6550if it doesn’t matter why bother with the increase?
@@guest-cd7md I'm pretty sure it's so the people paying WILL feel it but go off i guess😐
@@abyblue7287 oh yeah, i’m sure losing some money has the same impact as a losing the life of a loved one. donut
@@guest-cd7md lmao… cute
Literally no one said they’re trying to equate anything but again, go off
In Poland we have a really similar case where a 13 year old boy killed his girlfriend who was pregnant because he didn't want to have a baby. And he killed her ONE DAY before his 14 birthday when he would face a more serious consequences
I think the saddest part about this whole thing is, if you’re a murdered by a minor in Korea, you won’t gain any sort of justice. My heart goes out to the victims family who have to live in a constant reminder that her sons killers are still at large.
Not only in Korea though, probably in a lot of places. At least in Europe. There have been arguably even more violent murders and nothing and nobody can really touch these kids.
@@gogumadalpaengi well europe is not one place with one law. Many countries have different age limits for children in criminal justice system. Varies between 12-16 if im correct.
@@wdvnge I know, I live in Europe. What I meant is that it's not only an issue in Korea and Japan. These laws are outdated everywhere and should be revised. A 14 year old today isn't even comparable to a 14 year old from twenty years ago, let alone to a teen at the time when these laws were made.
@@gogumadalpaengi yeah your absolutely right. Its unfortunate but in this world it should be lower
@@gogumadalpaengiI’ve seen reasons to know that it’s way worse in Korea
If the Korean law cannot punish these kids I just hope society would never forget their names and echo them throughout so that no one would actually let them into the workforce.
i heard somewhere i can’t remember that if a minor commits a crime, the justice will wait till they get to the right age. isn’t it the same to the Korean law?
Korea is a pretty strict country, they will definitely get what they deserve when they're adults.
@@lyzfarthat’s just what I thought what they should do.. but not sure if it is.
I watched a kdrama „Juvenile Justice“ it’s about a judge who hates juvenile criminals. It was really good (not the punishments tho) but not sure if it’s 100% reality, but like the videos i saw till now it seems so.
@@ikramrafi6481obviously not a strict country if kids are going around literally torturing other kids for the fun of it, Korean parents and elders are absolute failures.
this is just one case out of 28.000 cases in just 2 years. there are wayyy more teenagers whose names never even heard of by public
i am 13 years ol and iam so embarrassed that kids my age do somthing like that😢 it is so brutal, rest in peace young angel 🕊️ and all the best to his mother❤
Something similar recently happend in Germany.
Two Girls met up with their friend, Luise. After they were done, had said goodbye and Luise was walking back home though a forest, her two friends followed her and stabbed her with a knife over 70 times. She was probably still breathing when they left her body in the woods.
This happend earlier this year. One of the girls was about to turn 14 in a few days, which in Germany is also the age where you can get legally punished. So these two girls knew that they had to commit this crime before they turned 14. This sparked a huge discussion here as well. As far as I know the two perpetrators are doing well and are free. They got protected by the government so their families are living as happily as ever.
My heart DROPPED when I saw the motorcycle. My friend was walking home from a high school reunion when this happened, she's said she can NEVER look at motorcycles the same, all she can think about is the crushed up metal and the body just inches away
😮😢
she was there?😢
side note: even the ppl there and the ppl seeing this online are feeling like this while the ppl who actually caused it arent feeling anything. are they even real ppl?
I feel so bad for her, your friend must be traumatised.
@@greeniscoollol she's been to therapy sessions and she currently lives with me because she's scared of having nightmares of that night again
@@hopefullyjhs she was there, and yes I agree with your side note. How could the kids post about the murder and act so carefree
In the UK the criminal age of responsibility is 10 years old. If a 10 year old knows right from wrong why would 13 year olds not
They’re not taught right from wrong.
@@valkein_the_shaman_ then that's on their parents, they failed the child and should also be punished. at the same time since this kid doesn't know right from wrong he is dangerous to society so its just common sense not to let this kid out to do more harm. i don't know what is the right thing to here but you definitely cant just let the kid out into society like nothing ever happened
@@fadumomohamed7915 it is on the parwnts

@@melissalayson7275 yep
I listen to so much true crime that it really takes a lot to get me emotional, but that part about the mom saying "i won't leave until his eyes are closed" hit me so hard. Got me tearing up at the office
Moral of the story. When multiple crimes go unpunished, this can lead to worse crimes like murder.
as a 13 year old myself , even when we are as young as 10 years old kids know whats wrong and whats right we are not clueless or that immature , the fact that they ran away shows they exactly knew what they were doing as a minor myself if someone commits a crime that concerns a life punish them severely, minor or not. i can vouch that us minors are not clueless its clear that they are sick in the mind.
the punishment maybe should be a little different for a 13 year old versus an adult, but they should still get punishment
@@kelseylandon1224little different?? how so?? i think that minors or adults should be punished the same, i mean they all commited crimes so they get what they deserve, especially if they know what they are doing.

The names and faces for these kids should be disclosed to the public. With 21 crimes under 14 years old, they are clearly criminals in the making.
Not even in the making. They're like full on fully made products (defective) and are out in the market for the pain of innocent people who had the misfortune to come across them.

Storytelling is really your gift Stephanie!
Well I am living in Korea Suji. A high school student on a scooter crashed into my dog while I was trying to cross the street last year. Luckily there were witnesses and cameras. When the police came, we went to testify together. that child's mother tried to use violence against me and made racist statements. I was not going to complain at first and I was going to tell him to be more careful next time, but I applied to the court in the face of the psychological and physical violence they put to me. the scooter hit me too, but my dog suffered the most damage. I requested a translator even though I know advanced Korean, but they made me wait for months. The boy's father offered me money first, but I refused, then threatened to kill me. People in court were more interested in why I lived in Korea than the accident. I work and I pay taxes for this country! no one can make racist remarks to me in a place where I legally reside. though the vast majority of korea is racist and ignorant 😏😅 The court was canceled because there was no 'concrete evidence'. I spent over $6,000 on my dog's surgery and my own treatment, and no one even apologized to me in return… I applied again for a second court with camera records and eyewitness statements. I hope that spoiled little punk gets the justice he deserves this time.
Living in Korea is not like what we see on the Kdrama. In reality people's here in korea are judgemental and racist. I'm half korean and half Australian, people's still considered me as outsiders. Most people here are really arrogant, they always looking down on other people's mostly people from other asian countries especially the South East Asia countries.
I live in Japan and was a victim, I was injured to the point i have to wear a sling in my dominant arm for a month, tried to find justice, nothing happened after 3 years, i think they didn’t even process it after I gave my statement and all the proofs, i have to pay for all my medical bills and the SOAB is free
@@jacqychan I was born and lived in Japan until I was 5 years old. My parents moved to Canada for a better life because they realized how fucked up our society was there. Of course everywhere has its bad sides.. but it's VERY better.
These stories are all so infuriating. I know its bad to wish for something bad to happen to someone but people like this, people like the 8 kids mentioned in the video, with the way they acted, it made me feel like I hope there is someone out there outside the law who can do something horrible to this people because they deserve it.
If you can, keep us updated, I wanna know if you get justice!
In Wisconsin, 12 year olds tried to kill their friend and they both got tried as adults. I don’t understand how places like Korea and Japan can look at the crimes kids do and NOT make them accountable in the way they should
Yeah I remember that case, and the their victim luckily survived but I think they should still do life in prison. They left her for dead.
@@heylove582 I have to wonder if Korea has had a similar situation. We’ve heard of girls of those Ages doing unspeakable things. I would not be surprised if it did happen

you make a difference Stephanie. you're the most respectful true crime youtuber ive seen and you spread a lot of awareness.
Poor baby! He just turned 18, he didn’t even get to live and achieve his dreams. These 13year olds needs to be punished properly. Even if they were just 13 their actions shouldn’t be overlooked, they choose to do this knowing damn well they were in the wrong. They took an innocent person life, absolutely no excuse. Hardest thing for a parent is when they watched their kids die first. I hope that poor boy rest easy 🕊️
As a survivor myself I haven't done much with my second chance at life and in a way I want to start working harder not just for me but for him and one day I hope to find his mom. Money will never fix it but it's what he was working for to help his mom. He didn't even get to react just like that he was gone and those demons are still alive. It's not fair. I hope to help his mom something he saw as his responsibility because it was out of love. May he rest in peace
cant believe a child killed somebody disgusting
i hope he finally gets rest in the afterlife where he wont have to worry abt working himself to skin and bones anymore
they even know what they did they don’t feel any guilt!!
When kids start saying "I can do what I want, because I won't get prosecuted anyway". You know this has to change.

I just wanted to let you know I love listening and watching your videos. You are an AMAZING story teller.
Yo just wanna say your opens for your videos are great. It’s that thing they teach us in English when writing our essays, the hook.
I literally started sobbing when she said that Kun told his mom he would take care of her and that he would be her guardian 😭😭 Also the blatant disrespect and lack of empathy the murderers showed was disgusting. I psychically could not. I had to pause several time watching this due to pure disgust, hatred, and sadness for the immeasurable amount of loss Kun’s mother must feel.
They are psychopaths, they have no feelings, they are monsters among us.
No seriously, SOBBING LIKE A BABY, same here
@@Isuck784noo thier not...thier psychopaths and sociopaths
I also cried
@@Isuck784l agree with you l fell şad for the family😢
So sad that so many young people out there doing things like this! Sometimes the punishment for minors is not good enough
No matter their age, they should be held accountable for what they've done!!!
I think it is all the time not just sometime. The law also doesn't protect women much especially if the rape case was done by a drunk person.
@@siewcindy depends on the crime like rape, murder yess I agree
i feel like the law is just there to protect those criminals and murderers and not the actual victims. like why do we need to think about their “bright future” when they were the ones that had taken the bright future from someone innocent….
In my experience of middle school it contains the biggest sociopaths Ive ever seen. Just complete lack of understanding mix with lack of caring just leads kids to do the most fcked up things. By high school end they start having a goal of getting into uni but before that it's a bunch of kids stuck bored influencing each other and trying to outdo each other.
“as mundane as… crocheting” WHEN I TELL YOU I PHYSICALLY REACTED TO THAT BECAUSE I’M CURRENTLY CROCHETING AS I LISTEN HAHAHA
lol me too haha
You are literally the best storyteller
as a 13 year old who never cries at death or movies, i actually teared up at the bit where the mum blew on his wounds for a whole hour. this is absolutely horrific and it baffles me how they didn’t even stop
same
Is it wrong to have not cried
Actually same, death doesn't really affect me the way it does to the people around me, I don't think I process it right, but when she said that the mother kept trying to close his eyes "it's ok you can close your eyes.." I was tearing up
@@MillyMilly21 no of course not! some people don’t feel strong emotions as much as others, especially if it’s over a screen and not something personal to you. don’t worry about it!
@@__grass__ Yeah for real
i feel ashamed wanting to become a lawyer because hearing cases like this makes me lose hope in "justice" if it even exists
That’s the same thing I have grappled with too. But you have to remember that there are people who need attorneys because the system is working against them. So even if someone is guilty. You have to be there to make sure their punishment fits the crime. You also need to be the one there to make sure innocent people don’t go to prison. That’s a very important job that you shouldn’t feel bad about. As long as you keep your morals & you don’t lose sight of your compassion & empathy for others. You’ll be a great lawyer.
This is not as easy as you think.A lawyer does not controls everything.You have to be enough powerful to take justice in your hands.I hope you will become that one day.
"justice" stand for the idea not reality and not all the laws are perfect unfortunatly , for me your job is essential tho you dont have to be ashame for that , the fact that it mather for you and other may make the things changes in the futur hopfully (atleast when money or powerfull people are not involve in the changes require).
Same, not a lawyer but still working in prison sector, it makes you lose so much hope
Same, but just as being a human being.
Made me cry😕… I felt so bad for that boys mom, lowkey cutest couple everrrr she talks and he listens ❤
In America, 8 13 year old repeat offenders would already be in juvenile detention until 18, after the murder, the 13 year olds responsible will be held in juvenile detention until they are 17 or 18 to receive a murder charge. The point of the Law is Order, and you can't maintain Order without punishing people, of any age, for breaking the Law.
A friend once convinced me to steal make up from a store. The mall guards caught us and called the police. The police gave me a choice, call your parents yourself or we will. So I did. I called mom out of a police car, crying I stole something and am in a police car.
She didn't yell at me. She didn't ground me. She didn't "punish" me. Instead, she called the store, asked them to put the make up I tried to steal aside and made me save from my weekly money (equivalent to like maybe 1 dollar) till I had enough to go up the store humiliated to ask "umm, I'm here to pay for the stuff I tried to steal" I was 12. I NEVER stole again.
did you break off your friendship with your friend?
@@danaiea Not right after that, but I did when she stole again alone and told the police she was me. They called my mom, luckily I was home
@@nene2969 ah good thing you dont still continue being friends with her
Kudos to your mother! 👏👏👏 And thank you for learning your lesson.
I have a similar story. I stole the key to a diary at Barnes and Nobles, and I think I ended up telling on myself because I was so scared of getting caught by my mom. Well, my mom took me up to Barnes and Nobles and made me talk to security and apologize for stealing. Never touched a single thing again. 😂
3 claps for korea and japan for excusing minors doing heinous crimes from bullying to literal murder and also never taking sexual assault cases seriously. amazing work as always 👏👏👏
👏👏👏
👏👏👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I mean; this happens everywhere
This made me cry no joke I have this vid playing background while I cook breakfast and I started tearing up when she started talking about how the mom was comforting his dead body. His life was unfairly taken and it was way too soon :(
I loooooove the way you tell stories
The only small reassurance in all fo this is seeing how much even their classmates turned on them. Real nice to hear all these other kids not only acknowledging how fucked up the whole thing was, but actively going out of their way to name and shame.
Agreed 👏👏👏
yea true. it only made me stop losing hope in humanity rlly
but seriously, imagine some of ur classmates or friends doing this kind of horrendous act...
gosh my head spins just thinking about it
let's all hope that all of us learn from this case and try to raise awareness to parents to raise and take care of their children well and not let them take part in delinquent activities and events and punish them for their wrongdoings
I just hope in the years to come Korean people won’t forget this happened and they will still be turning their backs on them. Life won’t be easy for them.
I can’t imagine being the mother and how infuriating it is to have these immature kids not caring at all. Worst part, the law does NOTHING about it. A sad well-behaved boy who had a life to live gets killed by boys and laughing about this situation. Gosh their parents should re-think how they raised these monsters who show no remorse
Sometimes it not the parents fault….. the kids know well what is right and wrong but they still doing it. Either to fit with the group or for joy….. we live in such a dark place and that is why we can’t sugarcoat everything to kids
@@anunknownperson4018 Mhm!
@@anunknownperson4018 Its the parents fault. If you raise your child to "fit w a group" that is clearly doing sometime rlly bad...then you did something wrong.
@@aguacate8187 in some cases there can be times where a kid is raised in a strict but caring household AND STILL try to commit crimes. Why? Because they can. Maybe they want to taste freedom for once without being disturbed by their parents OR they could've just been influenced to do something as stupid as that
They're probably happy the law is the way it is and blame the motorcyclist.
Parents of bad kids are deluded sociopaths
I just want to say that I love your content ❤ I don’t always comment but I always give a thumbs up ❤ this story is heart breaking and there needs to be some changes to that law it’s the only way these kids will get it together I’m sorry for that family my deepest condolences 🙏
OMG GURL I LOVE UR FIT UR SO PRETTY IVE WATCHED NEARLY ALL UR PODCASTS!!
I feel absolutely horrible for the poor mother, she and her son deserved so much more.
I agree with you l fell şad for her 😢
If you commit an adult crime, you get punished as an adult. Plain and simple.
Yes
I agree with this. Because by not trialing these teenagers properly and punishing them, these kinds of things will keep happening.
Disagree, depends on tons of other factors and nuances. But you certainly don’t get to get off Scott free like these “children” do
your channel is now my new favorite thing.
its your content that keeps my attention span in check
Someone should be held accountable!
A 13 year old is old enough to be held accountable. But if it's a child that is too young to be held accountable, then it's parents should be held accountable; especially if that child has committed multiple offenses in the past.
They clearly have a serious problem just letting kids get away with crimes
to the point some of them are clearly aware they won't be held legally responsible in anyway
Exactly!! Finally a comment talking about this.
@@allenmoyashides8395 there's 1000 other comments about the same thing wth
@@allenmoyashides8395 - There would be more if she didn’t ask “not to offend”.
Imagine the kid is an orphan an his biological parents go to jail for a child they never wanted 😂😂😂
After watching Juvenile justice, I have never been so scared of some teenagers in my life! It’s so crazy! 😟
Yes Juvenile Justice was an eye opener especially that first episode
Same!
Most of the cases in the series are based on true cases too right?
You should be wayyyy more scared of adults realistically
Yes! I watched that as well!!
I’m Korean and I’m ashamed of the Korean law loopholes of letting these monsters go unpunished
after listening to sooo many of Stephanie’s podcast about South Korean Crimes.. im starting to wonder if any of the victims get justice in that country. none ive heard so far have received justice. its infuriating. the way they have cute portrayal and advertisement and rose-tinty look and then the inside is so corrupted.
Also so many people in the comment section agree with the fact that sexual crimes and crimes that are these horrific and harmful shouldnt have any age limit when it comes to punishment. and yet so many countries (incld my own) is yet to do something about these archaic laws. 🙃
Why do you and 27 others pretend like this is exclusive to South Korea? Because this channel covers so many South Korean incidents?
It's mind-boggling reading so many similar comments. Injustice is everywhere.
I always found the bullying in kdramas a little too unrealistic as me being a kid that age would have been sent to the principal's office for saying a curse word... but now I know that those bullies in those Kdramas are just a small glimpse of the whole reality there and the reason why they always get away with it is because of this law
I felt so emotional for Kun's mother and friend like how devastated they are feeling and it just breaks my heart that he was just starting his adult life but never got to live it... RIP
I feel the same way!!
The problem is that no one gets an ass whoopin at home for doing dumb shit like this anymore. They have no fear of consequences.
@@Kunfucious577 ''ass wooping'' is still VERY common in literally ALL of Asia, including the west, south, central, east, south east. So no, this has nothing to do with not abusing your damn child. Its about laws being ridiculous, and completely dismissing EVERY crime someone commits just because of their age, and also making it 14 which is ridiculously high. Plenty of other countries are doing fine in Europe, with the crime age being set lower, and abusing your child not being normalized. If the law punishes them, its all good, the issue is the LAW. Y'all are the exact people Stephanie mentioned, the weird political people who are trying to blame it on ANYTHING other then the LAW, which helps nobody and nothing in reality other then fuel your own delusions.
Beating someone up or physically hitting them is a LITERAL crime when you're an adult, so there is 0 justification for doing it to your own child, y'all are ridiculously desperate to try and find ways to justify abuse. Not a single research has proven abusing a child helps at all, all of them show it causes trauma, and often sends them towards a wrong path. Most criminals also has abusive parents who DID beat them up, or emotionally abused them. So have fun creating more criminals with your backwards mindset.
Just like this dumb law in Korea is old fashioned and backwards, so is your ridiculous conclusion and idea.
There's a growing number of Korean kids who go to school here in the Philippines. I thought it was just for English. Now I realize the parents are probably hoping to get them away from this kind of thing in Korean schools. This complete lack of culpability literally turns schools into death traps.
i have no idea, so that's how they skirt around to save their children, how can they get in though? some sort of student exchange, or they move there completely from the start?
@@NeroZeroes Student visas are easy to acquire. They either go to specialized schools teaching Korean students English for couple of years or so. Or in some cases, the family moves to the Philippines as long-term residents for like 5 to 10 years (some establish businesses here as well).
Traditionally though, the adult students study alone in the more prestigious universities like De La Salle or Santo Tomas, since those schools teach courses in English, are comparatively cheaper, and have a good reputation in Korea for the quality of the education. This phenomenon is older, and dates back to when Korea was poorer and the Philippines was richer (shortly after WW2).
Koreans still have the highest population of foreign students in the Philippines. Roughly twice the number of the next highest foreign student nationality.
Several famous TV/movie celebrities and TH-camrs in the Philippines are of full Korean descent, but grew up in the Philippines.
Sandara Park of the K-Pop band 2NE1 came from the same background. Which is why she can still speak Filipino and English, and she still comes back to the Philippines for vacations.
@@AngryKittens this is the first time i heard this filipino-S.korea connection wow
I've heard of this. I think I was searching if SK has any close relationships with any of the ASEAN countries and this popped up. On another note, if the parents are aware beforehand, they might have seen this kind of thing even from their era but probably smaller scale.
@NeroZeroes SK and NK have always sent their kids to Philippines and Switzerland for studying and better learning abilities.
The fact that the people who committed these crimes are only a year older than me and I find it so crazy. I can’t even ask somebody for a pencil.
i’m older than them by a year and even i wouldnt dream of even thinking like them
@@lucielle2993same its terrifying how the parents aren't punishing them either :(
Thank you for addressing them as perps/ criminals throughout the video. I’ve never seen you so touched by a case. This is indeed unfortunate 😢
I've recently lost the ability to feel bad enough to cry, but this video, and the description of how the poor boy's mom reacted, broke me. These are no kids, these are pure evil assholes. Anyone that committs murder should be punished as a murderer. No age, sex, sexuality, race or anything else should be used as an excuse.
Agreed
Just ripped right through my chest
I pictured my mom finding me or my brothers that way
and I actually sobbed this is so fucking sad.
fr, that was i think first time when i cried while watching true crime case..
I feel like only ages like 8 and below should be excused. Like there's a case where a toddler shot his mother and that should be blamed on failure to secure a firearm on the adults part but stuff where the person can completely comprehend what they did like in this video need to be arrested,

PSA FOR THOSE VISITING SOUTH KOREA:
In case you are visiting or plan to move there, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't get involved or try to be brave in a fight or help someone who is being attacked!
I know this is infuriating for all the people watching, I know you're wondering where the adults are and why nobody is helping! AS MUCH AS IT'S COMMON SENSE FOR YOU TO DO SO, Korean laws are not kind to foreigners in this way. Cultural difference and language barrier can get you in serious trouble, especially if you do not have Korean friends. If you don't have anyone to defend you, they will most likely accuse you of being the attacker. As much as the country is said to be safe, there are many lacking laws and protection, especially for foreigners!
Don't take this as me hating South Korea. I love the country and the culture, it's beautiful and challenging. But like any other country, you have to take the good with the bad.
So please, be mindful and responsible of all the things you decide to do there.
This is good advice
Thank you
I wanna add that as much as people love saying the crime rate in South Korea is low and statistics show that too, the only reason it's low is because of how underreported crimes especially against women and foreigners are. Please be careful when travelling and take advice from people that lived in SK
SK is beautiful, and everything but some SK ppl are so damn rude just like any other person.
Nah don't worry, I already hate the people, country and their ridiculous horrendous laws after watching this video. Your comment is only an add on to my already existing dislike towards them. Such hypocrites they are. Ewww, it sounds so so soooooo scary to live there. They are so pretentious and that's so disgusting and scary to me. Glad I wasn't born into that evil society.
I have watched most of your videos and this is the first time that made me tear up.. the mom's reaction when she saw her dead son... god that almost killed me.
Youth crime is becoming a massive problem in Australia too for the same reasons. Had no idea it was like this in Korea.
I don't think I've ever ugly sobbed the way I did when hearing how his mother kept comforting him even though he had passed 😢
i cant imagine how strong she is to do that to her son one last time.. and carry on with life with such bs treatment of her son's killers..
@@taxedo_ri it's truly heartbreaking
Committing multiple crimes should at least make them minors not protected by their law. It is no longer a minor’s “mistake” if they commit crimes over and over again.
IKR I think there should be a limit to this law, three times sounds enough...and for murderers that are minors with no remorse, they deserve to spend the rest of the life as minors, in the juvie, getting their youth to be lost
@@panchoelgatodeshonrado1799 I'm just going to say, I love your pfp.
Yup there needs to be at least 3 strikes because they will keep committing more crimes. There should be juvenile jail for those monsters.
my heart dropped watching the video. I can’t believe this.
I never tear up on cases but this one broke my heart so much i actually teared up I was so heart broken for both him and his mom…
South Korea seriously needs to change their laws. These criminals cant keep getting away unpunished just cuz theyre minors.
No wonder bullying is so extreme in Korea. None of the bullies get any consequences
Exactly. Tsk
South Korean laws are the absolute worst, I'd dare say even worse than Canada!
Not bullying, school violence.
they literally torture their classmates. its seriously amazing how anybody can survive in an environment like that
The moment that the delivery driver's mom had with her son at the hospital was absolutely heartbreaking... the fact that she told him it's okay... and she blew on his wounds and tried to put him to rest one last time. I can't imagine the pain...
This tore me up 😢 I watch a lot of these and that tore me to pieces. I cannot imagine that pain..telling your baby it’s okay knowing it’s never going to be okay
😢😢😢❤
That part wrecked me, my grandma whom I grew up with for majority of my childhood recently passed away peacefully and we were devastated even though we were it was coming and she didn’t suffer during her passing. So I can’t imagine my own child whom you never expect to pass before you, in the horrible state he was in… how do you ever recover from that.
@@xoxoAL1I always think about this, especially with someone so young. I lost my dad at 18, we’re a strong multigenerational family and I was terrified to see how my grandmother would cope: He was openly her favorite and her baby. The only relief, she tells us, is that he left her three granddaughters who immediately began to take care of her like he did.
I don’t want to even imagine what the grief would be like if we didn’t exist and if my dad had been 18 and not 55. Crushing.
She’s such a sweetheart cuz like she doesn’t even know him and she was about to cry during the video
I’m currently crocheting a pair of shorts and when you brought up crocheting I was shocked 😂
This discussion is also happening in Germany at the moment where the laws are similar. A 12 and 13 year old school girl went to the woods with their 12 year old classmate Luise and stabbed her multiple times . They couldn’t be charged with anything and just moved with their family. Many people were shocked and their personal info and TikToks were leaked shortly after. This might be good case you could cover sometime.
I also wrote Stephanie about it, but sadly I think the information currently available is not enough to speak about it for a full episode..
I think in Germany, even if they don’t get sent to prison, they are not just send home. They get checked on, there is the possibility for psychological treatments and so on
That reads like an almost exact copycat of the Slenderman stabbing that happened in America.
Luise was being mobbed by the two girls and because she told her parents and teachers the two girls were so angry that they lured Luise to the woods and stabbed her ( i believe it was 74 times) and they still just go fee
This law is insane.
This is a case we’re they need to serve time. This is deliberate intent to harm another.
I started to cry when Stephanie said that the mom tried closing his eyes and that the mom tried many times to put him to rest, i know it was really losing her son. I hope she gets justice, may he rest in peace ♥

As glamourous as kpop industry is, it always shocks me how severe the youth crimes and school bullyings are in Korea. And a lot of idols were exposed to be bullies back in high school. I cannot imagine myself growing up as a teen there.
GIRL HOW CAN YOU NOT CRY ,IM LITERALLY DYING HERE
Adult crimes, judged as an adult, punished as an adult. Also, NEVER erase this from their records.
The sad thing is that it will be erased from their record and they will continue living their life like normal people.
That law is beyond stupid. If they're going to make a law like that, don't pick age 14. I would protect ages under 12 but not 14. At the age of 12, many humans start having adult thoughts and those adult thoughts could very well be filled with criminal intent.
Actually in international age it is under 12 but I agree with you
@@samkamado9538Nope, just as when it's related to medical stuff, in this kind of situations international age is the one used in Korea.
