Jarrett, thank you for all you did for him. You truly saved him from a life in prison. I wish the best for him and I do hope you keep in touch with him. I noticed out of all the people that hugged him throughout the documentary, you are the only one he truly hugged back. At the time of the documentary, you were the only one he trusted. Again, so thankful you were there for him
Regret means someone did something seriously wrong. It doesn’t require nor deserve empathy or compassion just because she realized it while being interviewed for a miniseries for the world to see or whenever she realized it. She added to the abuse by not reporting it. She, the adult, did not protect her own son or Anthony (both children) stuck in a constant, horrific life threatening childhood and teenage life. That is long term trauma that causes C-PTSD (which is a huge long list of horrible symptoms most people cannot imagine) and things like physical disabilities, ADHD, OCD, and so many more mental and psychological health problems. When someone knowingly stands by a person committing a different kind of crime like a robbery, rape, physical attack, etc. in a similar way the step-mother did, then it’s aiding and abetting or worse. They go to jail for that. However when someone knowingly stands by a severe abuser to children like this, there is absolutely no punishment for it when there should be. Abusive people get away with murder thanks to people like this. She reported what happened to her and had a choice to easily and quickly check off the box where it mentioned if any child was being abused and she did not. She was ready to stand by Burt over Anthony until she saw some paperwork that finally proved to her the type of guy Burt was. Why did those papers make all the difference in the world to her and not his actions even when she herself was abused? She deserves much worse.
@@VioletJoy She's a poor woman with not much education herself, financially dependent on her husband. There wasn't much she could have done. She did a lot and don't forget she was also a victim of abuse. I can imagine her being severely beaten, just like the first wife who had the worst life possible. I felt so sad for her....
Just watched the 3 episodes on I just killed my father. You did an amazing job with this case. Thank you for not letting the system swallow him like it could have
Was crying like a baby with the last 15 minutes of the documentary. Anthony is lucky to be loved and supported by someone like you. You derserve all the blessings man. May God shower you more wisdom to share your knowledge and power to help more people in need. Salute and thank you man. You're one of the best attorneys Ive seen in a documentary! You loved him like a brother!
I knew 10 minutes into this documentary that this boy had a very good reason to do what he did. I hate it in these shows when they say "he showed no emotion". One reason is often initial shock. In this case the kid immediately called police. He never lied, or made up stories, he admitted what he did right off the bat. Unusual, most will try to make up a story. He was devoid of emotion because that was all he ever knew. No love, no affection, no support, no friends, no education. He never learned how to feel. Not anything positive that's for sure. At one point in the documentary someone, I think it was Dad's best friend said: "He was given everything he wanted". No, he was not. Children need nurturing, love, acceptance. An XBox does not give those things. This young man was tortured mentally. He did what he had to. No one stepped up to the plate, he was abandoned by life. I dearly hope he gets a good therapist who can guide him, to see that there is good in the world and that he can go on to find some happiness in this life.
I am the daughter of an antisocial mother. So much of what is described resonates with me. I was emotionally stilted for most of my life because I was not allowed to show emotion. I feel so bad for the children of sociopaths. Anthony did the right thing.
Exactly…the problem is those working in the legal system (police, prosecutors, lawyers, etc.) all know this because it happens a lot. That is the common effects of long term child abuse and the justice system sees it regularly. It’s not rocket science like they pretend. Instead of pretending and choosing not to help a child, those children often end up living very difficult lives often becoming abusers themselves, or turning to drugs and alcohol to cope, suicide, crime, etc. These types who work in the justice system, who don’t care and choose to pretend ignorance, is exactly why the system fails us all. Anthony did not spend life in prison thanks to a lawyer who cared but he definitely was failed by many people in his life and will likely have a very difficult life ahead.
People saying someone has ”no emotions” when they have no education or knowledge about trauma responses make me sick. Imagine how many people have been wrongfully punished and had their lives ruined because someone decided they’re a psychopath with no moral compass, instead of being someone who is dissociated from their emotions because of what they’ve been through. Of course there should be an investigation. But that includes keeping an open mind and not assuming things based on a first glance. I’m so glad this boy had people in his corner at the end of the day. When the attorney choked back tears for him, I did too. When Anthony cried at the end of the Netflix doc, I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I know what it’s like to be forced to bottle everything up for so long you’re not allowed to feel anything. To see him finally cry was beautiful. I’m sure he has a lot to work through, which is normal because anyone would in his situation, but I wish him all the love, happiness and success in life possible going forward. Cheers to Anthony getting to live a normal life and to the people who helped him get there by keeping him out of prison and showing him the compassion he’s deserved all along. ♥️
@@ixizn exactly, a typical trauma response for the children of sociopaths is to not have any emotions. Showing emotions is a dangerous proposition. Any happiness, bonding love or empathy you get from others is cut off. They want you to be secluded and miserable and disconnected from love. They know that if you are connected to people, you won't need them and they can't live with that.
I just watched the documentary and am so moved by your heart and passion for Anthony. He wouldn't have gotten to where he is today without someone like you in his corner. Anthony is the perfect example of a juvenile who deserves this chance after all he's been through. Hopefully, you will remain involved in his life, as he clearly needs the support of healthy people. I wish Anthony and you all the best life has to offer. 🤍
Sending my love and prayers for the healing of Anthony and his family. You deserve to live a normal life Anthony. Thank you for helping him Jarett. Thank you for your life. Make the best out of this new life, you are now Free. You are now in charge of your life, hugs and prayers brother!
Jarrett first and foremost, thank you so VERY much for all that you have done for Anthony. You are a fantastic attorney, but an even better man. When there was nobody there for him, you were! Next time you talk to Anthony, tell him, that there are plenty of us who are rooting for him for a wonderful life. Sending him and you a lifetime of happiness♡
Thank you so much Anthony is such a humble and likeable young man. Thank you for giving him an amazing chance to re build his life. He may not have gotten to enjoy is adolescent years. But he can sure make the best of his adult life. Thank you for giving him the opportunity
Just watched the Netflix documentary. Didn't expect to cry like that. It's such a sad story. I wish Anthony all the best and I hope he can have the life he deserves.
I just found and watched this documentary. I'm in tears. This child was broken and I hope he has come to find peace. You fought for him the way at least one person should've years ago.
I just watched this show. I hope this young man Anthony heals and has a happy life. And I wanted to just say Bless Your Heart Jarrett Ambeau for getting Anthony through this horrible time in his life.
To Anthony..your story breaks my heart..you are pretty much the same age as my nephew..and I see the same akward disposition..of trying to put a brave face becauseyou need to. Please remember that you still have a full life ahead and it can still be beautiful....and after all these..the life ahead may still not be perfect..but I wish you to live the best life..dream big and fulfill them.. feeling sad..angry at times..is all part of the process and being normal. Hope you are not too hard on yourself and still enjoy life..Hope you grow in wisdom and more love. My prayers to you🙏🙏🙏
I was touched by this and equally irritated. Had he been stuck with a public defender, he'd be in jail. Good council cost a fortune or requires an expensive attorney offer up services pro bono. Even hearing he was free got only the weakest grin. Hopefully his depression and PTSD get better. Bless his heart.
This teenager faced a lot of tough decisions early in life. Him going public is already part of claiming his life back. I hope the public and society give this young man a chance to live a normal quiet life and not to expect him to be perfect or put too much pressure on him. Kudos to this young man for standing up.
I just watched this....rooting for Anthony! My heart just broke for this kid...i cannot imagine any child going through any abuse, specially i have a 4 yr old boy now. Thank you Jarrett for being his champion....this could have ended in total disaster but thanks to you, you helped give him a second chance at life. Goodluck Anthony i hope he starts to open up to people more and just be happy again
I saw the series on Netflix,and I think you've done a great job sir, and you handled yourself exceptionally well, and I pray for your childhood life and pray for you Jarret, Keep up the good work and keep looking handsome 😉🫂🙏🏼🤍
Jarrett, thank you so much for everything that you have done for Anthony. You are amazing human being. And you earned the respect, love, and appreciation ❤️🙏⚘️
It is important to tell this story. I am forever grateful to the production company, Netflix, and the director Skye Borgman for bring this to light. Anthony was abandoned by the system and neglected by the people in his life, all while his father regularly abused him and kept him captive in his home. Now he is free of that abuse and living a decent and productive life. Through the pain and horror of having to kill his own father, he has persevered. Thank you all for giving it your time and attention.
@@JarrettAmbeau Thank you I was happy to hear that this will be expunged. He's been made to suffer for too long and he doesn't need something on his record to further complicate his life.
This is the equivalent of battered women syndrome but for the abuser's son. That man kidnapped his son for power, control, and to hurt and punish his mom. Abusers like the man that's dead abuse women and children 1st. Thank you to the step mom and step brother for being there for this boy. ❤️❤️❤️ May you all find the peace you deserve.
🇺🇸 legal system is so corrupt. He should never had been locked up especially in adult prison. He was a thin skeleton when he was released. My experience being on the inside his food was took by older inmates and God knows what else he endured. Sue the hell out of them Anthony. Sue that witch for a DA and the detectives for questioning him without a parent. Sue them man.
Wow just wow. The system and this world need more of people like you. Saw the documentary and I just truly believe that no one cared for Anthony until you.
The ending. He wanted to have feelings but couldn't. Never cried the whole series. 2 months after he was free, they asked what he wants to do. "Just be normal" They ask "What's normal?" And he breaks down for the first time. That poor dude. I hope the best for him. I was raised by an abusive druggie father. There was a couple times when I was a preteen that I might have done the same, while he was beating my mom, given the opportunity. He went through so much. I hope he's found a "normal"
Eres la mejor persona del mundo ❤ La humanidad necesita de más personas como usted!!! Increible!!! you are the best!! I saw you on the netflix!! Saludos desde España!!!
Best result. I just watched the Netflix series. It really is Anthony's first chance at life as Ms. Cummings said because Anthony never had a chance Mr. Jarrett, you were the perfect Attorney to defend this case. You understood the responsibility of representing someone who by legal definition committed the crime but because of the justification was innocent. Hope Anthony gets the help and support he needs to live in peace with others. Hope he completes all his probation and the crime goes off his record and he never does another day in jail.
This kid has SERIOUS PTSD by the ongoing VERBAL, EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL ABUSE committed by his Father!! His DAD broke his spirit, he turned that loving little Boy into a TORTURED, scared, introverted SOUL by BREAKING him to the point of which Anthony SNAPPED could NO LONGER absorb the evil of his Father PERIOD!! BLESS YOU ANTHONY ❤
This is a very powerful, very disturbing account of relentless abuse characterized by, ultimately, both emotional and physical trauma of horrendous dimensions. By the time I finished watching I was ready to kill the bastard father who attempted to destroy his son, myself. And the real hero in this case is the lawyer (Jarrett) who represented Anthony pro bono, and who worked almost unbelievably hard to do so. This is a difficult documentary to watch, but well worth the effort if you’re interested in gaining new insight into the types of abuse that one powerful individual can impose upon others he controls…and the heroic efforts required by those able to do so, to rescue victims without the means to rescue themselves. Highly recommended - but be ready to feel angry, and, ultimately, terribly sad at the thought that this is unlikely to be an isolated example of such persistent abuse. Anthony’s case is not an isolated example of how power corrupts - and how absolute power corrupts - absolutely.
I just watch this yesterday poor boy this make me so sad . Im happy you helped hem to get free en out of this nightmare miracles still exist.. I hope he can start a new life make friend do teenage things, en be happy for ever
I'm watching the Netflix documentary and just wanted to vent. Anthony had been abandoned time and again by people who should've protected him; he suffered isolation, emotional and physical trauma, and was deprived of a normal/healthy development during his formative years. And that prosecutor had the audacity to say he lacks empathy?! Damn right he does, so what? None of the people in whose"care" he was deserved empathy, and since there was no one he could've trusted and could've learned from, Anthony's ability to feel empathy is limited--which is not his fault. Even if he recovers to an extent, he may never fully heal and will in one way or another always be scarred. Depending on the mental health diagnosis, it can turn out like a retrovirus; you can manage the symptoms, but the underlying condition never goes away. Thank you for standing up for him, Jarrett, and in a way for all of us who went through childhood abuse!
I just watched the documentary; I am left with great sadness in that he was alone mostly his whole life with dire circumstances. However, also happy that this lawyer helped him without charging him a dime. Ultimately saved his life. You can certainly tell that Anthony didn’t know how to handle the love and care he got since he has never seen it before. Killing the father was absolutely justified. Can you imagine what would happen to Anthony is he recovered from the gunshots?
Watched this last night...very interesting; however, his birth Mom said she had 2 other kids but they were never mentioned again. I'm wondering where they lived, and with whom, while all this drama was happening.
Anthony is a victim here. Now freed himself for father’s abused. Anthony deserve to be happy now n live a normal way. He really needs more care and love from family, relatives and friends. We love you Anthony forget the past and wishing you more happiness now. More blessings for you brave man! Move on , you deserve all the happiness in this world. God bless you more…….. stay safe, healthy and bless.
Thank you so much for helping this young man. Having worked with DV victims, it was sad how society doesn’t understand DV and the impact it has on individuals. Abusers getting custody of their kids is common. We need to do better as the generational damage of DV hurts all of us. DV preps need to be held accountable and their crimes need to follow them beyond state lines. Everyone including the legal system failed this young man, however you changed his life. And I am glad the sob is dead. Thank you so much ❤️
Usted es un Ángel para Anthony,que Dios lo bendiga siempre por haber salvado a este joven que sólo fué víctima de la crueldad humana. Le admiro mucho ,cuídese!
I wish the young man the very best in life and hope that he can move on knowing full well that what happened regarding his father was not his fault. Please God he keeps away from guns in the future, and simply carries on with his life like any other teen although that will not be easy he can do it. I also hope he opens up a little more and has a few decent friends to talk to.. Congratulations to you too Mr Ambeau great to see your level of care for Anthony was heartfelt and that you were able to help him so competently too.
Desde México abogado. Que Diosito te bendiga mucho, eres como San Miguel Arcángel, todo un guerrero por las causas justas. Derrotaste al demonio de la injusticia. Viste el dolor en esa criatura y creíste en él. I write from Mexico, what I wrote in Spanish means that you're like Saint Michael, you defeated the devil of injustice, like the warrior you are. You saw the pain in that child's face and believed him. God bless you forever. Your heart is kind and your soul is pure. You're like an angel to that child. You're Saint Michael, A TRUE WARRIOR
OMGaaawd?!..I could sense the kids fear...(been there far too many times)and even remorse over what he did,Dicktectives!!...People like Prosecutors,Dicktectives,Doctors Nurses Sales Rep...(People that interact with others no longer have PROFFESSIONAL COMPASSION..especially since COVID) I haven't killed my abuser's but I OUT-LIVED 2 of them surpriseingly!!..All I heard was how "Dad bought him everything!".."You Can't Buy Love Nor Use this Excuse to JUSTIFY the abuse!"
I saw the news about this situation I understand how he defend himself as a child I'm also with the same situation got abuse and violence until I grow up by I didn't hate my father and put the justice in my hands to kill that's abnormality practice what a shame that justice is to tolerate children to kill parent's because they are being abuse both have a chance to live I've experienced beaten kick blood stains tortured there's a lot of father that's always drunk in this world poor father you should never raised the child that in the end would end your life that's devil it's easy for you to kill because mentally ill if he can't take it he can leave the house to be independent I think he Already knows that he's dad is a drunk every day he can live now but to end the life of a person who feed you oh no it's devil even if you're honest.
I want to be honest here. I was searching this story of Anthony just to tell you all guys that I hate DANA (the attorney assistant) SOOO REALLY MUCH for all that she said about AJ. For her horrible judgement about him. For effort to knock this young man off. She is so unbelievable and make me sick to my stomach. She is doing her job yess, bit doesnt mean that she has to put aside her conscience. Especially she is a WOMAN. And I believe she is a Mother. How could she! She didnt even try to understand Anthony. She seemed to refuse that AJ also have a good side. I wanna punch her face so bad tbh!
Lol the child was kept in a house with no education, you are taught all these things🙂 you are taught social skills… you are perceiving from your personal experience and view. I’m not saying it was ok but if I was im his shoes, with the knowledge he had, with the experience he had,,, survival mode kicked in… I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t have done it🙂 if things were this simple there wouldn’t be world 1 and 2🙂 slavery, 🙂 … these things were done by a large amount of people to say I would have done differently.
If you haven't watched the documentary, I suggest you do. In this case, you will understand why he felt he had no choice. Yes ..murder is wrong, but you have to look at the bigger picture. Right from the time that child was taken and what led up to his actions. And law decided to let him have a life he wasn't given by the people who was responsible for it.
Anthony is a victim here. Now freed himself for father’s abused. Anthony deserve to be happy now n live a normal way. He really needs more care and love from family, relatives and friends. We love you Anthony forget the past and wishing you more happiness now. More blessings for you brave man! Move on , you deserve all the happiness in this world. God bless you more…….. stay safe, healthy and bless.

I noticed out of all the people that hugged him throughout the documentary, you are the only one he truly hugged back. At the time of the documentary, you were the only one he trusted. Again, so thankful you were there for him
It broke my heart, watching this. I can't believe that the stepmother didn't do more to recuse him him when she left.
You can see that she seriously regrets that and is trying to make up for it now, as best as she can.

Wow just wow. The system and this world need more of people like you. Saw the documentary and I just truly believe that no one cared for Anthony until you.
Thank you Jarrett!!!
The ending. He wanted to have feelings but couldn't. Never cried the whole series. 2 months after he was free, they asked what he wants to do. "Just be normal"
They ask "What's normal?" And he breaks down for the first time. That poor dude. I hope the best for him. I was raised by an abusive druggie father. There was a couple times when I was a preteen that I might have done the same, while he was beating my mom, given the opportunity. He went through so much. I hope he's found a "normal"
Eres la mejor persona del mundo ❤
La humanidad necesita de más personas como usted!!! Increible!!! you are the best!! I saw you on the netflix!!
Saludos desde España!!!
Best result. I just watched the Netflix series. It really is Anthony's first chance at life as Ms. Cummings said because Anthony never had a chance
Mr. Jarrett, you were the perfect Attorney to defend this case. You understood the responsibility of representing someone who by legal definition committed the crime but because of the justification was innocent. Hope Anthony gets the help and support he needs to live in peace with others. Hope he completes all his probation and the crime goes off his record and he never does another day in jail.
This kid has SERIOUS PTSD by the ongoing VERBAL, EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL ABUSE committed by his Father!!
His DAD broke his spirit, he turned that loving little Boy into a TORTURED, scared, introverted SOUL by BREAKING him to the point of which Anthony SNAPPED could NO LONGER absorb the evil of his Father PERIOD!!
BLESS YOU ANTHONY ❤
So happy for Anthony. And God bless you for fighting for his freedom!
This is a very powerful, very disturbing account of relentless abuse characterized by, ultimately, both emotional and physical trauma of horrendous dimensions. By the time I finished watching I was ready to kill the bastard father who attempted to destroy his son, myself. And the real hero in this case is the lawyer (Jarrett) who represented Anthony pro bono, and who worked almost unbelievably hard to do so. This is a difficult documentary to watch, but well worth the effort if you’re interested in gaining new insight into the types of abuse that one powerful individual can impose upon others he controls…and the heroic efforts required by those able to do so, to rescue victims without the means to rescue themselves. Highly recommended - but be ready to feel angry, and, ultimately, terribly sad at the thought that this is unlikely to be an isolated example of such persistent abuse. Anthony’s case is not an isolated example of how power corrupts - and how absolute power corrupts - absolutely.
I just watch this yesterday poor boy this make me so sad . Im happy you helped hem to get free en out of this nightmare miracles still exist.. I hope he can start a new life make friend do teenage things, en be happy for ever
I'm watching the Netflix documentary and just wanted to vent.
Anthony had been abandoned time and again by people who should've protected him; he suffered isolation, emotional and physical trauma, and was deprived of a normal/healthy development during his formative years.
And that prosecutor had the audacity to say he lacks empathy?! Damn right he does, so what? None of the people in whose"care" he was deserved empathy, and since there was no one he could've trusted and could've learned from, Anthony's ability to feel empathy is limited--which is not his fault.
Even if he recovers to an extent, he may never fully heal and will in one way or another always be scarred.
Depending on the mental health diagnosis, it can turn out like a retrovirus; you can manage the symptoms, but the underlying condition never goes away.
Thank you for standing up for him, Jarrett, and in a way for all of us who went through childhood abuse!
I just watched the documentary; I am left with great sadness in that he was alone mostly his whole life with dire circumstances. However, also happy that this lawyer helped him without charging him a dime. Ultimately saved his life. You can certainly tell that Anthony didn’t know how to handle the love and care he got since he has never seen it before. Killing the father was absolutely justified. Can you imagine what would happen to Anthony is he recovered from the gunshots?
Watched this last night...very interesting; however, his birth Mom said she had 2 other kids but they were never mentioned again. I'm wondering where they lived, and with whom, while all this drama was happening.
I think they were from her previous marrriage and not with Burt. Anthony is their only child
Anthony is a victim here. Now freed himself for father’s abused. Anthony deserve to be happy now n live a normal way. He really needs more care and love from family, relatives and friends. We love you Anthony forget the past and wishing you more happiness now. More blessings for you brave man! Move on , you deserve all the happiness in this world. God bless you more…….. stay safe, healthy and bless.
Thank you so much for helping this young man. Having worked with DV victims, it was sad how society doesn’t understand DV and the impact it has on individuals. Abusers getting custody of their kids is common. We need to do better as the generational damage of DV hurts all of us. DV preps need to be held accountable and their crimes need to follow them beyond state lines. Everyone including the legal system failed this young man, however you changed his life. And I am glad the sob is dead. Thank you so much ❤️
This case reminds me of Gypsy Blanchard. I wonder why Gypsy got 10 years in prison and Anthony gets no jail time.
gypsy was premediated and she enlisted help - Anthony heat of passion
Anthony deserved the world love from Thailand
Usted es un Ángel para Anthony,que Dios lo bendiga siempre por haber salvado a este joven que sólo fué víctima de la crueldad humana. Le admiro mucho ,cuídese!
I cry my eyes out.
You will be happy and create yourself a beautiful life. ❤️
I wish the young man the very best in life and hope that he can move on knowing full well that what happened regarding his father was not his fault. Please God he keeps away from guns in the future, and simply carries on with his life like any other teen although that will not be easy he can do it. I also hope he opens up a little more and has a few decent friends to talk to..
Congratulations to you too Mr Ambeau great to see your level of care for Anthony was heartfelt and that you were able to help him so competently too.
Sad situation but if this was a black kid In the same scenario I just know it would end with a different result
oh ffs
Desde México abogado. Que Diosito te bendiga mucho, eres como San Miguel Arcángel, todo un guerrero por las causas justas. Derrotaste al demonio de la injusticia. Viste el dolor en esa criatura y creíste en él.
I write from Mexico, what I wrote in Spanish means that you're like Saint Michael, you defeated the devil of injustice, like the warrior you are. You saw the pain in that child's face and believed him. God bless you forever. Your heart is kind and your soul is pure. You're like an angel to that child. You're Saint Michael, A TRUE WARRIOR
that lawyer is slick and very capable... good for them....
OMGaaawd?!..I could sense the kids fear...(been there far too many times)and even remorse over what he did,Dicktectives!!...People like Prosecutors,Dicktectives,Doctors Nurses Sales Rep...(People that interact with others no longer have PROFFESSIONAL COMPASSION..especially since COVID) I haven't killed my abuser's but I OUT-LIVED 2 of them surpriseingly!!..All I heard was how "Dad bought him everything!".."You Can't Buy Love Nor Use this Excuse to JUSTIFY the abuse!"
Bendiciones, gracias por ayudar a Anthony que dios se lo pague🤗🤗🤗
I saw the news about this situation I understand how he defend himself as a child I'm also with the same situation got abuse and violence until I grow up by I didn't hate my father and put the justice in my hands to kill that's abnormality practice what a shame that justice is to tolerate children to kill parent's because they are being abuse both have a chance to live I've experienced beaten kick blood stains tortured there's a lot of father that's always drunk in this world poor father you should never raised the child that in the end would end your life that's devil it's easy for you to kill because mentally ill if he can't take it he can leave the house to be independent I think he Already knows that he's dad is a drunk every day he can live now but to end the life of a person who feed you oh no it's devil even if you're honest.
I want to be honest here. I was searching this story of Anthony just to tell you all guys that I hate DANA (the attorney assistant) SOOO REALLY MUCH for all that she said about AJ. For her horrible judgement about him. For effort to knock this young man off. She is so unbelievable and make me sick to my stomach. She is doing her job yess, bit doesnt mean that she has to put aside her conscience. Especially she is a WOMAN. And I believe she is a Mother. How could she! She didnt even try to understand Anthony. She seemed to refuse that AJ also have a good side. I wanna punch her face so bad tbh!
Gee wiz..poor kid
There’s more to this.
Shit is wild
This teen should be in prison….. He wasn’t neglected, he was spoiled.
Guardian angels do exist
I was the child of an abusive parent and eh I don't blame him. I understand him but laws and what not... You just can't murder people who threaten you
Lol the child was kept in a house with no education, you are taught all these things🙂 you are taught social skills… you are perceiving from your personal experience and view. I’m not saying it was ok but if I was im his shoes, with the knowledge he had, with the experience he had,,, survival mode kicked in… I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t have done it🙂 if things were this simple there wouldn’t be world 1 and 2🙂 slavery, 🙂 … these things were done by a large amount of people to say I would have done differently.
If you haven't watched the documentary, I suggest you do. In this case, you will understand why he felt he had no choice. Yes ..murder is wrong, but you have to look at the bigger picture. Right from the time that child was taken and what led up to his actions. And law decided to let him have a life he wasn't given by the people who was responsible for it.
Remember u will always be a killer
Boring
Are you not entertained? .... loser.
Anthony is a victim here. Now freed himself for father’s abused. Anthony deserve to be happy now n live a normal way. He really needs more care and love from family, relatives and friends.
