This kid grew up way too fast, 12 years old and going to parties while away from home for weeks, I think at 12 my top concern was building a treehouse and when the next Pokemon was coming out. We need to give kids the space and safety they need to enjoy a childhood free of dangerous influence.
Yes. My son is 12 and plays Fortnite and watches cartoons. He asks me for tickles. He’s not going to parties and using guns. What kind of home life must these kids have had? It’s so sad.
People assume homeless people don’t have anyone who cares, but a community ends up caring for them a lot. Our homeless guy is named Wolfman and is super nice. He has so many journals of his writings on life and his thoughts. He comes into my bookstore and chills out. I can’t image a day where I hear he has passed, let alone being murdered. Edit: so people bring up a good topic, that if we care, then why don’t we supply him with a bed and housing? So OUR wolfman chooses to be homeless. Countless businesses have offered him a job, but he denies. He denies money most of the time, and usually only takes food when he needs it. During winter we have some homes that house him during the storms, but most he ever asks for is new blankets and clothes. This is SITUATIONAL. So yes, the community makes sure he’s happy and provided for, and his peace is being wild.
Yep, same sort of thing where I live. Has been there 20+ years in his spot in a park and if he disappeared multiple people would notice within the day.
Yeah and you never know why someone's homeless, over the last few years so many of the military have ended up homeless or people go through devastating things, might turn to drink or drugs and end up on the street. People living pay cheque to pay cheque, sometimes it can take a rise in rent or loss of job and it can happen. The lack of compassion and humanity in someone as young as 12 is scary.
@@schrisdellopoulos9244 No it is not, there are plenty of comments about other aspects of this case. People can talk about multiple things you know, that's what a comment section is for
How confusing for a 12 year old for mom to yell, "you shouldn't have said anything, signed anything..." on and on. In the same breath, "you gotta tell 'em what you seen!"
His mom is the most baffling thing about this interrogation to me. She went super bipolar. First she was in the room with his grandmother encouraging him to talk and tell the truth. Then she comes back in and she's upset, understandably, that he talked to the detective and he signed to wave his rights. But did she ever tell him that? He's 12. How's he supposed to know to remain silent when so many adults can't even figure that out. Such a sad case. Killing a homeless man for no reason. A 12 year old. My son is 12. I can't even imagine.
Yeah if I was the kid I'd be confused on what to do. I hate to say it but the mother doesn't seem to be working with a full deck and I'm not surprised her child ended up in a situation like this...
I think after she left the room the first time she talked to his dad, she was saying his dad was getting him a lawyer So probably when she was telling the dad what was going on he probably laid into her about the kid talking without a lawyer and freaked her out that he was totally screwed now
This happened 10 minutes from my house. Kids are throwing their lives away for nothing, it's heartbreaking. Just because someone is homeless it doesn't mean their life doesn't matter. I pray the victim is resting peacefully. 💐💝🕊️🙏🏼
You are so right thank you for your kind words ,this homeless man was just entitled to respect and kindness in death like the rest of us, it is so sad these youngsters are throwing their futures and lives away, very SAD.
@@jinka6171 The boy in this video had a stepfather in the house, plus a father also involved in his life, so...? Yes, a lack of a father can be a problem. But it is not the only problem kids can have, and it's not a guarantee that kids will struggle. I have two sons growing up without a father (not by my choice), and so far, they are doing well. One is an adult with a college degree, never in trouble. The other is still growing up.
when the grandma asked how they found out it was him and the detective said they put it on the news & a ton of people called in to report him for the $1,000 reward money. Yup, everyone got your back til there’s a price tag on it
This is the detective that questioned the mother of Lonzie Barton. She's good. She knows when to be gentle, when to be empathetic, and when to turn up the heat and the volume.
I recognized her from that mothers interrogation. She bugs me for some reason. (could be the 'Chinese fire drill ' comments) but shes good at what she does. She plays the " I'm here to help" role flawlessly.
I saw that one also..I live a few blocks from the jail where they had the mom..I live in Florida where that case was..I saw the cop cars looking for that little boy
Grandma's not holding back any punches with her grandson. Her heart is probably breaking just the same. Sharron had choices, but chose the worst ones. Already a burglary charge, now murder. The detective was great with the way she was able to get Sharron to trust her with her great demeanor with him.
My grandson turned 12 yesterday and I am so glad all he wanted was to go roller skating and have pizza with his friends! This poor kid needed love and guidance! 🥺 I sincerely hope that the man who lost his life is resting in peace now 😞
@@lorimcbrayer8431Yes, and no. Definitely in part… but I was raised by alcoholics (one who abused drugs, too), and I was molested by their friend who lived with us, they fought all the time… my dad kicking my mom on the ground, pulling her arm out of its socket, banging her head into coffee tables… and this was the whole dang time. I’d jump in the middle of the fights to protect her and get them to stop, and they grew to resent me. Eventually, as I got older, I recognized this and waited in my room until I heard one of them actually strike the other, with adrenaline surging the whole time as I waited at my door, and I’d run out only then to intervene. My dad told me I was the cause of all our family’s problems, and my mom called me a bitch and said I was dead to her… we were poor, didn’t always have much even food, our house was infested with roaches and rats, I’d go to school with mites, even though I showered and wore clean clothes everyday… roaches would crawl out of my backpack at school… we didn’t have AC or heat (in Texas)… the ceiling fell down, the walls were missing, there were no floors in the bathrooms (just plywood)…. We’d have to use a bucket to go to the bathroom every so often, because of plumbing issues… And 11 years ago, my mom shot and killed herself just feet away from me. My sister has been on drugs and in trouble ever since junior high… jail and prison so many times, lost three kids to their dads… she’s never had a job, never owned her own property of any sort, and she just can’t recover from it all. Meanwhile, I was too 5% of my graduating class, a National Merit Semifinalist, employed at all times since I was 18… never had anything I haven’t earned, but I am one of the hardest workers I know. I also have been involved in my sister’s kids’ lives, as a surrogate mom (of sorts), and I try to lead them through their f-ed up situation… and my oldest nephew is a gem… and we’re working on the littlest gal! She isn’t weathering things so well. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, OCD, attachment issues, anxiety, anger issues, self esteem issues and all of that… but I have lived with responsibility being the bar for how I act. Respectful of all authority and rules, even… Me and my sister lived the same life, though I took more of the brunt of it when we were kids (seeking to defend and protect everyone the best I knew how)… and we are polar opposites. You can’t discount choice and personal responsibility.
It's absolutely crazy. I threw my life away with drugs at that age but never hurt anyone....I was just to nieve to know what I was taking. I'm just gutted that a child this young took away a person's life.
@@camvin575 Google the work John Rimeraz is doing. What you find out will blow you away and help you beyond anything you could possibly imagine. I wish you only the best ❤️
It takes a different breed to think about taking someones life barring self-defense. No normal person would just kill someone out of nowhere. And the fact that these people exist is terrifying.
This kid is a baby. 12 years olds can't really concieve of how final death is, all they care about as they hit teen years is their peer's approval. I think he did this to impress his friends and now his life is over before it even starts and that poor alcoholic homeless man never got to recover and find peace. It's tragic all around
This whole thing is horrific. At 12, his understanding of a lawyer is it’s someone to help him “beat his case” 😞 At 12 my kids might have seen a lawyer on the tv, but that would have been the extent of it. He’s living like a little adult, at the young age of 12 and this will hang around his neck forever. Kudos to Grandma for refusing to lie!! 🙌🏼 I like this Detective too.
I dont think kids know how to be kids, especially as teens. Go play sports, learn an instrument, and play in the school bands. Go cut people grass, shovel their snow. Find a hobby. They are out there, but to many people make the wrong choices.
@@matthewpaul8755 I’m not sure every 12 year old thinks this way. Some children sadly aren’t allowed to be children, but plenty are. Plenty don’t have access to firearms at this young age. So it’s a pretty steep generalisation saying “Most 12 yr olds” are this way. Anyway, you’re entitled your opinion.
@@OneLove101. Hi Love, you are so right , but I think that guns and computers are all most kids know these days. Infact, the internet is the reasons for why they get guns and kill innocent people. What a sad world.
She did the right thing letting him talk tbh, he needs to be in juvenile but hopefully a program that helps him and doesn’t make him worse (not too many of those in the US unfortunately)
@@suzimonkey345 and when you call a lawyer they're gonna tell u to not talk at all. But unless the suspect committed some violent crime, then I'd suggest they talk all they want
Oh my god.. that poor homeless man, I hope he recived a nice burial and a quiet place to rest. it hurts my heart when ever someone does something to these people.
To ANY ppl. Nobody deserves to have their existence ended by someone who just decides to end it. But elderly really gets me. You make it that far in life, you deserve peace and you deserve RESPECT from any teenager. Teens today treat elders so disrespectful. Not all, but a whole lot do. My mom would smack the shyt outta me if i ever disrespected an elder.
Exactly she's a piece of trash . She wanted him to blame the other kid when everyone is saying he did it she us not making him respect for his own actions...
The mother first told him to say the truth so he did but later she blamed him to telling to truth instead of having a lawyer. Now I can see why he ended up so confused and bad boy.
Hey lady, the time to be a mother walked out the door when you decided to let the streets raise your son. Raising her voice and kicking him in the rear -too late now. I am impressed with the officer who talked to him, she got him to talk, she spoke to him with respect and he returned it.
@@maxcman2 Moms have to work if the dads aren’t around. Her son doesn’t listen to her. This is why children should be born in marriage with both parents who will be there for them.
@@Harley08 So single father's don't have to work while raising their kids? Welcome to life. I'm not saying you should have to raise your kid without a father but if your partner leaves, you need to step up to the plate not make excuses. Discipline starts at home, Very simple
This same detective was the lead of the lonzie Barton case, and I really liked her little tactics to build rapport with the suspect. She seems to be great at her job! And as always, thanks SS for always coming out with these rarer interrogations! Y’all always pick intriguing videos to post & I always watch all the way through no matter how long! Even if I’ve seen the interrogation before, I stay to watch just to hear your input! Your work is appreciated and noticed! ❤
Videos like this make me want to call my 74 y/o father and thank him again for being so strict with us when we were kids. I’m 50 and still scared of him 😂
I have NEVER been so impressed by a detectives interrogation skills. She is as close to perfect at what she does, as is humanly possible. No lies, no “acceptable “ interrogation tactics. She gets the truth out of them using HONESTY. Give that detective a gold ⭐️ star, alongside her gold shield.
Thanks for that.. There are some that drive me spare when their interrogation skills are less than mine would even be.. I'm going to watch now.. Cheers
It’s sad that grandma seems to care more than the mom. A lot of cursing it’s sad that a child that age has to be exposed to language like that. Where is the responsible adults at.
Mother is reproaching him for talking to the cops - even though she found out only 5 minutes prior on the phone not to do that. She's holding her own ignorance against him.
Kimberly: thanks for the info....btw do the parents have to be notified first? I am guessing yes since you say the parent can stop the questioning at any time....but if not present how would they know when to stop?
@@liam2386 i guess they figure if you're old enough to murder someone, then you're old enough to be questioned about it. They sure didn't skimp on his sentence. I just wonder what happened with his friend. What he got charged with. And who actually shot the poor man. I can never understand how someone feels they can just end someone's existence just because they decide to. Just end anything the person may have had planned in the next few days. Just snuff them out forever. It just baffles me to know some ppl don't even care about these things and make such a final decision. Whether the victim wants it or not.
LOL. Has nothing to do with a short attention span. I would never sit through a video this long! Just come to see the beginning and the ending on these.
The mother obviously influenced his behavior and she's embarrassed to admit that her son is not "a good little boy". The detective was really professional.
Ya, the mother is pathetic, at first she's doing the right thing, but then comes back in excuse mode. My mother would've choked me out right there in front of the cop just for being out at 2AM, never mind for killing someone. This kid was failed by his parents.
Agreed. Not taking away from what he did, but his voice hasnt even dropped yet. He's a boy. Playing with guns & violence because he thinks it makes him tough and cool. Imagine what he couldve been in other circumstances.
I have a feeling this detective could spend one month with this kid and he'd probably make a full 180° and be on his way to a better life (prior to his current charges)
We've got a whole generation of stone cold killing machines with more and more of the youth. They're constantly bombarded with violence on TV, movies and video games. They're being conditioned and desensitized to violence by watching, without the maturity level to exercise the restraint or the understanding of the full consequences like an adult would.
This detective is excellent. I recently watched her interrogation of the mom whose boyfriend killed her baby and claimed he was kidnapped in his stolen car. Top notch!
I love this detective, they all say "I'm not here to bs u" but about 95% of the time that's a lie. She is open with him, and I believe she honestly cares about what happens to him as well. She does have a job to do and she does it well. I believe I've seen her on here before in a different case and she was just as good then. Kudos to this example of the endangered species that is a good cop
💯 I recognized her from the case of the stripper who’s baby went missing while she was at work supposedly. The baby’s name was Lonnie. The boyfriend acted like he was carjacked with the little boy in the car. Come to find out the baby drowned and it was a ruse by the mom & the boyfriend. She Sounds just like the detective in that case.
She doesn't care what happens to him other than getting him convicted, but she does a convincing job of making it seem like she cares about him as she gets him to confess, which can only make his situation worse. She's a good detective. You can only convince someone to do something that is not in their best interests through the successful use of subterfuge.
@@Sinsteel that's a fair point. I do think she cares more about getting the RIGHT person then just about getting sombody convicted tho if that makes sense
@@goodanytimej8688 I agree. They always say "they want the truth", so maybe that's a good way of putting it. Ideally they want to know everything so that everyone can get what they deserve, though again, it's never good for the suspect.
At 12, I was already thinking and living as an adult. I was kicked out. I didn't understand when I was told that I should still be playing with barbies. The worst thing you can do to a child is to neglect them, and not show them love.
I find it hilarious when cops try and "put you in your place" by using demeaning language. My favorite is the classic "now listen here BOY" from the sheriff who's still peeved his family can't own people who look like me anymore.
@@drswaqqinscheckingin7210 I firmly believe that a tactic some police use is to try to get people agitated so they don’t think straight. There’s definitely racism in the police force but there’s a lot who use low tactics for a confession. One of the reasons why I like watching these interrogation is because you can see what their intentions are. I agree with you though
She’s good at her job but hardly a “firecracker” idk If you just don’t know the meaning behind that saying but this woman is very level headed, and even tempered, not exactly a “firecracker” lmao
I mean she's ratchet as hell....yeah. She also isn't going with his bad behavior though, and she's telling him 100% the truth about the situation he's in 🎯 she reported him missing, meaning she wasn't ok with him running the streets, as he's 12yrs old. Why would you blame her?
@@Leoprincess3038 if she was a decent mother her child wouldn’t even be in this mess. This what happens when you let the streets raise your kids. Sad, she failed as a mother and the father failed too.
Shout out to the Grandma to an extent. The Mom yelling about him signing the paper, trying to make excuses for his actions is extremely disgusting. He's a child so this is very sad. She's really more concerned with the paperwork than him potentially taking a life.
They both revealed their character the first time they came in the room and how they were talking to him about what happened. There is no accountability in that family, period. He is 100% a product of his family and environment and there are thousands more just like him. He can barely speak English. This whole country is doomed.
Exactly, At first the mother and grandmother were doing the right thing, but when the mother came back she wen't into excuse mode, lol. All while some poor dude in laying in a morgue.
You weren't playing with crackheads at the creek or riding bicycles past homeless people either. Those kinds of people didn't live where you lived. Glad you received that storybook upbringing.
His mother is clearly abusive. She kicks and berates him while in a police station, imagine at home. She tells him to tell the truth fully, and then snaps on him when he does. He has no guidance and she's clearly an unhinged ghetto rat.
Wow this is so sad. My son is 12 as well, he watches anime and plays video games. When he sees a homeless person he asks if we can give him money or food. He hardly leaves the house unless he’s forced (school, appointments) so I couldn’t imagine him just going out with an older friend and not coming home for weeks. This kids parents failed him miserably.
This shows the problem with this country. It all stems from greed…..i know this is a really wide lens to view from but in reality it is why so many people have no hope and don’t care about anyone or anything. The greed of others in our society have made neighborhoods and living conditions that breed this type of behavior.
@@kelcritcarroll Imagine blaming others from your own choices. Your environment doesn’t choose your future. That’s just a victim mentality “oh woe is me”
@@sharpshooter_Aus your environment kinda does dictate to some degree your life this is why we don’t like children seeing violence because they’ll reenact it or how when a girl who’s father was abusive to her mother the girl will typically fall into an abusive relationship
If you don't have authority over your child when is 12 ..you are not a parent..talking about looking stupid..and yelling at him because he spoke without a lawyer..when she was there all the time....blaming it on the kid.a 12 yo...my son is 13...doing sports...playing on his pc...an A student.i have never hit him ,nor his mom.damn,I might just been lucky??how this parents can live with themselves...
No , it’s not luck . You just raised your kid the correct way . Parents now a days are too soft , the see the kids are siblings instead of kids . This mom had the chance to fix that kid and do the correct thing , listen to how he talks , he’s been in the street for a while before this incident happened . But unfortunately this is the world we live in .
I'm just seeing this. Being in NJ they don't care if a parent there. My son got in trouble and I went to be with him the officer told me "no" " I would go to jail for interference". Thank God my son straightened out and is a changed man now. This is sad 12 years old 🙏🙏
She’s the same detective who caught that lady and her boyfriend who murdered one of her babies. They got her kids to join in on the abuse, and buried him in their yard. They were also dumb enough to discuss it all on jailhouse recording. This detective does amazing work!!
The Rodrigues case was Cleveland Ohio, was this Cleveland too? Maybe the Lonny Barton case instead. But I do love the older detective, she seems to really care about the victims and perpetrators too. ❤✌️🙏
These future brain surgeons were disrespecting, arguing and pissing on the homeless man for weeks before they murdered him. Townsend was reportedly part of a group of two boys who argued with Trent for weeks. “I’ve watched it go on and on and on,” said another homeless man, who didn’t give his real name, in 2014. “He would drink and they’d come around and throw stuff on him when he was passed out. “He would cuss them and throw stuff at them. Then they started urinating on him and would pour Cokes on him, so he got mad and threw rocks at them and I think he hit one of them.”
This makes me so sad 😭 they deserve what they get I was feeling upset for the 12 yr old but hearing that they did this to the man makes my blood boil, Im trying to understand why this even happens these parents need to get their shit together and show their children how to live right.
Not to be mean but when you’re homeless you can move to just about anywhere. He chose to stay there. This is no different then those serial killers that start off torturing and killing animals. I keep my eyes open to those types and stay away from them. He was a 54yr old alcoholic. Who tf would keep sticking around to be a punching bag of urinal. Not saying he deserved it but there were choices being made. Maybe his life was sacrificed so they can be taken off the streets in order to protect someone in the future who actually contributes to society 🤷🏽♀️
With a mom screaming at him like that, I can understand why he withdrew into himself. One of several things that really jumped out at me was that he couldn't even read, let alone pronounce, constitution. i'm not sure if this a product of the school system he's in, how much or how little he paid attention, whether he had special needs of some sort that weren't being met for whatever reason (could be any of several), or something else. It surprised me, though. It's not a judgment call, just an observation and point of confusion and sorrow that kids don't get the educations they need, in many areas, nooot just schoool. I think he barrely understood what the Miranda rights meant. I also think maybe he thought he was cool when he was with the older kid, wanted to impress him, you know, kid hero-worship-type stuff. Trouble is, this guy was all kinds of bad news. This makes me so sad, for Trent, and for Sharron's family. That said, I think he got his attitude and way of speaking directly from his family. We emulate our parents, after all. They didn't teach him not to swear around adults--they did it with and in front of him! I'm sorry. Way too many thoughts. Stopping here.
Public schools in many cities are no more than free welfare checks for union "teachers" and detention centers for children where they learn nothing because nothing is taught by the lazy teachers. I don't blame kids for ditching school, and if I had kids I wouldn't force them to go to a useless class in a so called school. But, that being said, I would make them go to functional classes if available.
It's just odd seeing a parent ridiculing a 12 year old for making the wrong choices involving murder. That lack of accountability is why he's in this situation
His mother, and im making a stretch to call her a mother should be charged with gross child negligence! She should be in court right next to him facing charges 😡
I read a story not long ago about a young man from a very rough neighborhood who took a bus to his high school graduation, alone, then walked the stage alone, no family or friends there to cheer him on, not a person who cared for him in the world. After he got his diploma, he got back on the bus to head home, alone. My point being, that life is always what you make it, no one's destiny is written in stone, and just like anything else, this gangster lifestyle is a choice, not a path you have to go down
@Bonus Flaps So should a quadriplegic just off themselves because their life is meaningless and there's no possible way to make it worthwhile? I'm going to go ahead and say that's not how they feel (if it was then there'd be no quadriplegics)
@Bonus Flaps And you missed mine.. Of course there's people in this world that have a hell of alot tougher go at life than others. But if you come from a rough neighborhood you don't have to say "eh may as well be a gang member". You're the one that chose to bring the plight of paraplegics into a discussion about inner city youth choosing to be criminals, not me, so your comment was irrelevant from the beginning, I just chose to indulge you.
Great interrogation. This detective is amazing. My only wish it that the kid would have subtitles, because I have a very hard time understanding what he's saying most of the time.
I love how a person who killed a defenseless man in cold blood could complain "I´ve been in here for over five hours!" Talk about not understanding his situation.
He would only put on the tough guy airs when his mother was present if you really took notice. His anger stems from her. You see he immediately shaped up when the detective checked him. He yearns for guidance, care/interest, and discipline.
At his age rehabilitation can happen for him but unfortunately with lack of funding and a lack of people who care the system will never be in this young boys favor. I really hope he can turn his life around and realize what he did was wrong.
She still wearing the same shirt. Lol. And the other lady fucked up a interrogation. She was in training and cannot put forward any questions pertaining to the incident. She did and the whole confession was not allowed to be used in court as ,by her asking him about the wepon, violated his rights. The prep was still sentenced to life
@2:18:59 I understand the mom's frustration in this high stress situation. But she was in the room when he was read his Miranda rights the second time and when he signed the paper and she didn't stop him. She also told him to tell the truth. Only to turn around and say he shouldn't have done any of that. This whole situation is just sad everything about it 😡😡😡😡
I don't have any sympathy for this young man but I don't understand how they can a legally have a minor sign a document without the consent of a parent.
@@daspeakeasy2 I get the gravity of the crime. Minors shouldn't be able to sign a legally binding document without parental consent in my opinion. A minor will want to appease an authority figure especially at his age. They've been conditioned to. Brendan Dassey of Making a Murderer (Netflix if you haven't watched it) is the perfect example. I truly believe he is innocent. He was 16 and had learning disabilities. I think he wanted to appease the authority figures and told them what they wanted to hear. He thought he was going home to watch professionally wrestling after he confessed. Very sad.
@@kalabash72 Doug I understand that but they had him on camera and other people who corroborated what they already knew because he told others what he did.. also his parents were in the room when he signed the second time and they didn't stop him.
Why did he not have a lawyer?? Being 12yo he should have had a parent/guardian with him before any questioning. America is fucking wild. No other western country would have a kid being interrogated without a parent. Mental
I sort of agree, but millions of children grow up uneducated and in poverty, however they are still respectful and law abiding. What causes this total lack of respect for human life?
@@David-ki6jq I have always believed it to be genetic somehow. You can blame almost everything that you want to, but there's always somebody out there who has been through what you blame it on who has not gone on to do such things. It's not new. It makes me think that these people are hardwired to react differently to such trauma, abuse, neglect, struggles.
Perhaps, however, he may live in poverty or indeed lack an education, but he lives in a 1st world country where he can eat mcdonalds, he has a telephone or computer to access facebook. Tell me, how many impoverished people can do that? I'll give you one example of those who are really poor, the Dalits. That kid has got it good compared to those in Africa or India.
you should see the part when his mom comes in. she isnt mad that she killed a man, she is only mad that her son talked without a lawyer. the mom is the reason the kid is the way he is. the only one that showed concern for the actual situation about a murdered person was the kids grandma.
Yes. Now they help cell phones at five years old and access to the worldwide internet watching anything they please. All the violent. Videos, thug videos that they think are funny, music being made with violent words of hurting and killing people and weapons etc. Parents who keep their kids off the internet, spend quality time with them qnd actually having parents that are interested in their kids lives have a much better chance of raising successful well balanced kids. Today's kids are being raised by te internet, and the streets, not the parents
I am so glad that I am not growing up in these times. When I was 12, I was still playing with dolls . The "grownest" thing I did at a teenager was when I started smoking cigarettes with my best friend at 16. And I still didn't smoke in front of my parents until I was 30! Too much stuff for these kids to get caught up in. Times are bad. Grown people are acting worse so it's hard to look funny-faced at the kids who act bad.
Interesting how his mother tried to negate his confession by telling him he doesn't know what he is saying because he is on medication but he has already stated several times that he didn't take his medication. But her heartache is palpable. She is pretty crushed that her son just messed up his life so bad. Her sadness is deep.
It was the kids father that put her onto that. If you look at the series of events she clearly just wanted the truth but then did a total 180 after talking to his dad. The dad clearly knew the system and gave her shit for letting him talk. She left the room earlier just to let him talk and then the second time she left she was just about to call his dad...the next time you see her she's freaking out about him talking (after speaking to the dad). He clearly gave her shit for not knowing what was in his best interest.
Good lord, I feel for the grandma. Nothing like grandma's anger and the fact he's not scared of it speaks volumes about how much respect he has for others.
It’s AMAZING how this kid can’t grasp the gravity of his actions and the situation at hand. And even more unbelievably ridiculous that he thinks he’s going home…. WOW!
@@Leoprincess3038 Despite him being a "child", he was sentenced as an adult and was sentenced to 30 years at the age of 15. Young or not, he definitely knew what he did was wrong or he wouldn't have lied and tried to hide evidence.
@@croaton07 OK and you see how bad and immature those lies were correct? Even thinking he could lie his way out of it sh!t they had video....I didn't say he was innocent because he's 12 so no need for you to write paragraphs. What I meant was of course he doesn't understand the gravity of his situation, he's 12.....you didn't need to try to explain anything to me I'm well aware of what I said and what I meant by it 🙂

Love these

Good cop/angry grandma is a surprisingly effective combo.
😂🙌💀
Honestly tho, whatever it takes to get this kid to prison and fingers crossed “rehabilitated” before he gets out.
Sounds like a hit tv show
:Grandma enters the room: **shit just got REAL**
Mom is mad at the end she didn’t tell her son not to say a word after the Dad warned her.
Prison does not rehabilitate., it makes better criminals. Trust me.
This kid grew up way too fast, 12 years old and going to parties while away from home for weeks, I think at 12 my top concern was building a treehouse and when the next Pokemon was coming out. We need to give kids the space and safety they need to enjoy a childhood free of dangerous influence.
Yup
Parents don’t seem to be that bothered either
Yes. My son is 12 and plays Fortnite and watches cartoons. He asks me for tickles. He’s not going to parties and using guns. What kind of home life must these kids have had? It’s so sad.
thats the responsibility of the parents, not the state, not the community, but the parents.
That would require someone to give a shit about him. Seems like his family only cared by lip service and didn't actually care.
It always reignites my faith in humanity when law enforcement put in the same effort to solve a homeless person’s murder as they would anyone else.
Well… it’s a 2 for 1 special for them.
What could that guy even have done to get shot😢
@@tooshady47446ttv
Exist.
People assume homeless people don’t have anyone who cares, but a community ends up caring for them a lot. Our homeless guy is named Wolfman and is super nice. He has so many journals of his writings on life and his thoughts. He comes into my bookstore and chills out. I can’t image a day where I hear he has passed, let alone being murdered.
Edit: so people bring up a good topic, that if we care, then why don’t we supply him with a bed and housing? So OUR wolfman chooses to be homeless. Countless businesses have offered him a job, but he denies. He denies money most of the time, and usually only takes food when he needs it. During winter we have some homes that house him during the storms, but most he ever asks for is new blankets and clothes. This is SITUATIONAL. So yes, the community makes sure he’s happy and provided for, and his peace is being wild.
Yep, same sort of thing where I live. Has been there 20+ years in his spot in a park and if he disappeared multiple people would notice within the day.
Yeah and you never know why someone's homeless, over the last few years so many of the military have ended up homeless or people go through devastating things, might turn to drink or drugs and end up on the street. People living pay cheque to pay cheque, sometimes it can take a rise in rent or loss of job and it can happen. The lack of compassion and humanity in someone as young as 12 is scary.
That's pretty rare. Go to bigger cities and see how they get treated.
They are incredibly close-knit
Senselessly
I remember the stress of lying to my parents over where tf my homework was, I can’t even fathom the anxiety of a situation like this.
If my grandmother was questioning me about a fuckin MURDER I would be shaking like a leaf lol
Your energy goes immediately to the murderer? That's a problem isn't it?

@@schrisdellopoulos9244 No it is not, there are plenty of comments about other aspects of this case. People can talk about multiple things you know, that's what a comment section is for
He killed him because he was old, ill and white
How confusing for a 12 year old for mom to yell, "you shouldn't have said anything, signed anything..." on and on. In the same breath, "you gotta tell 'em what you seen!"
That's what went wrong with Sharon...being raised by a POS mother who set ZERO good example for this misguided and negligently raised young boy
I said the same thing. Lol. Like mom is confusing me and I'm not 12!
His mom is the most baffling thing about this interrogation to me. She went super bipolar. First she was in the room with his grandmother encouraging him to talk and tell the truth. Then she comes back in and she's upset, understandably, that he talked to the detective and he signed to wave his rights. But did she ever tell him that? He's 12. How's he supposed to know to remain silent when so many adults can't even figure that out.
Such a sad case. Killing a homeless man for no reason. A 12 year old. My son is 12. I can't even imagine.
Yeah if I was the kid I'd be confused on what to do. I hate to say it but the mother doesn't seem to be working with a full deck and I'm not surprised her child ended up in a situation like this...
I think after she left the room the first time she talked to his dad, she was saying his dad was getting him a lawyer
So probably when she was telling the dad what was going on he probably laid into her about the kid talking without a lawyer and freaked her out that he was totally screwed now
You don't "go bipolar" you bigot. Stop diagnosing people and attatching illnesses you clearly do not understand
From where he is from, yes.
Some places 12 murders/murdered are common.
This happened 10 minutes from my house. Kids are throwing their lives away for nothing, it's heartbreaking. Just because someone is homeless it doesn't mean their life doesn't matter. I pray the victim is resting peacefully. 💐💝🕊️🙏🏼
Nope, the victim was shot dead, nothing peaceful about it.
@@erkl8823 there can be peace after death. He's not continually getting shot in the head.
Kids throwing their lives away? They don’t know any better….no fathers in the house for starters….
You are so right thank you for your kind words ,this homeless man was just entitled to respect and kindness in death like the rest of us, it is so sad these youngsters are throwing their futures and lives away, very SAD.
@@jinka6171 The boy in this video had a stepfather in the house, plus a father also involved in his life, so...?
Yes, a lack of a father can be a problem. But it is not the only problem kids can have, and it's not a guarantee that kids will struggle. I have two sons growing up without a father (not by my choice), and so far, they are doing well. One is an adult with a college degree, never in trouble. The other is still growing up.
when the grandma asked how they found out it was him and the detective said they put it on the news & a ton of people called in to report him for the $1,000 reward money. Yup, everyone got your back til there’s a price tag on it
😅🤣😂
True. But nobody should have had his back. His family should have had his back and raised him better! 😡

@@lizboard6833 true
This is the detective that questioned the mother of Lonzie Barton. She's good. She knows when to be gentle, when to be empathetic, and when to turn up the heat and the volume.
I recognized her from that mothers interrogation. She bugs me for some reason. (could be the 'Chinese fire drill ' comments) but shes good at what she does. She plays the " I'm here to help" role flawlessly.
@@Lucysays What's wrong with Chinese Fire Drill? Do not say she's racist lmfao
Yeah but this is like trying to outsmart a rock. He cant even speak English. He speaks "MuNdnbroNugfinbromAn"
I KNEW she seemed familiar. We should crowdfund something nice for this Detective, she's good at this.
I saw that one also..I live a few blocks from the jail where they had the mom..I live in Florida where that case was..I saw the cop cars looking for that little boy
Grandma's not holding back any punches with her grandson. Her heart is probably breaking just the same. Sharron had choices, but chose the worst ones. Already a burglary charge, now murder. The detective was great with the way she was able to get Sharron to trust her with her great demeanor with him.
Yea she's all talk. No reason a 12 year old should've had all that freedom
“Squash the walker!” lol she’s not letting him spin any tales. this is a great video.
Bit late now though
@@TheEllisPrice for real my 13 year old would never be out like that..
That ghetto walrus did a piss poor job parenting.
My grandson turned 12 yesterday and I am so glad all he wanted was to go roller skating and have pizza with his friends! This poor kid needed love and guidance! 🥺 I sincerely hope that the man who lost his life is resting in peace now 😞
Children are a product of their HOME environment. So sad for many. At 12, I spent most of my time at home and school
@@lorimcbrayer8431Yes, and no. Definitely in part… but I was raised by alcoholics (one who abused drugs, too), and I was molested by their friend who lived with us, they fought all the time… my dad kicking my mom on the ground, pulling her arm out of its socket, banging her head into coffee tables… and this was the whole dang time. I’d jump in the middle of the fights to protect her and get them to stop, and they grew to resent me. Eventually, as I got older, I recognized this and waited in my room until I heard one of them actually strike the other, with adrenaline surging the whole time as I waited at my door, and I’d run out only then to intervene. My dad told me I was the cause of all our family’s problems, and my mom called me a bitch and said I was dead to her… we were poor, didn’t always have much even food, our house was infested with roaches and rats, I’d go to school with mites, even though I showered and wore clean clothes everyday… roaches would crawl out of my backpack at school… we didn’t have AC or heat (in Texas)… the ceiling fell down, the walls were missing, there were no floors in the bathrooms (just plywood)…. We’d have to use a bucket to go to the bathroom every so often, because of plumbing issues… And 11 years ago, my mom shot and killed herself just feet away from me. My sister has been on drugs and in trouble ever since junior high… jail and prison so many times, lost three kids to their dads… she’s never had a job, never owned her own property of any sort, and she just can’t recover from it all. Meanwhile, I was too 5% of my graduating class, a National Merit Semifinalist, employed at all times since I was 18… never had anything I haven’t earned, but I am one of the hardest workers I know. I also have been involved in my sister’s kids’ lives, as a surrogate mom (of sorts), and I try to lead them through their f-ed up situation… and my oldest nephew is a gem… and we’re working on the littlest gal! She isn’t weathering things so well. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, OCD, attachment issues, anxiety, anger issues, self esteem issues and all of that… but I have lived with responsibility being the bar for how I act. Respectful of all authority and rules, even… Me and my sister lived the same life, though I took more of the brunt of it when we were kids (seeking to defend and protect everyone the best I knew how)… and we are polar opposites. You can’t discount choice and personal responsibility.
And this is a sign of proper parenting. Kids will do crap behind their parents back but a kid that is free to go to "Parties" is parenting gone wrong.

It takes a different breed to think about taking someones life barring self-defense. No normal person would just kill someone out of nowhere. And the fact that these people exist is terrifying.
This kid is a baby. 12 years olds can't really concieve of how final death is, all they care about as they hit teen years is their peer's approval. I think he did this to impress his friends and now his life is over before it even starts and that poor alcoholic homeless man never got to recover and find peace. It's tragic all around
This whole thing is horrific. At 12, his understanding of a lawyer is it’s someone to help him “beat his case” 😞 At 12 my kids might have seen a lawyer on the tv, but that would have been the extent of it. He’s living like a little adult, at the young age of 12 and this will hang around his neck forever.
Kudos to Grandma for refusing to lie!! 🙌🏼
I like this Detective too.
He isn’t wrong and I’m sure most 12 year olds also know that…. I think it’s you have have to have putty for. Sorry 😢
I dont think kids know how to be kids, especially as teens.
Go play sports, learn an instrument, and play in the school bands.
Go cut people grass, shovel their snow.
Find a hobby. They are out there, but to many people make the wrong choices.
@@glenpolen5562 Yeah. Sadly some kids don’t get the chance to be a child, but no way should they be out with a gun. So sad. 😩
@@matthewpaul8755 I’m not sure every 12 year old thinks this way. Some children sadly aren’t allowed to be children, but plenty are. Plenty don’t have access to firearms at this young age. So it’s a pretty steep generalisation saying “Most 12 yr olds” are this way. Anyway, you’re entitled your opinion.
@@OneLove101. Hi Love, you are so right , but I think that guns and computers are all most kids know these days. Infact, the internet is the reasons for why they get guns and kill innocent people. What a sad world.
Lol that mom is confusing that kid “don’t you say nothing” minute later “if you don’t say something you gonna take all the blame”
The mom blames him for talking, but she could have stopped the interrogation at anytime.
She's clearly clueless. Got off the phone with his dad and came back with a whole new attitude. He probably blasted her over the phone..
She did the right thing letting him talk tbh, he needs to be in juvenile but hopefully a program that helps him and doesn’t make him worse (not too many of those in the US unfortunately)
He shouldn’t have talked without a lawyer doing a deal for him first!
NEVER talk without a lawyer!!
@@suzimonkey345 and when you call a lawyer they're gonna tell u to not talk at all.

Love when this detective said, "with your little narrow behind." LOL 😆 My Grandma used to say that to us all the time when we made her mad. 😂
Lol. She said it a few times and I thought it was hilarious
I laughed and it made me smile lol
She actually made me chuckle with that
I loved it.
My heart goes out to the man in the photo. I see the pain in his eyes, then the words , homeless man, walks with a walker , plays out - heartbreaking…
The mother first told him to say the truth so he did but later she blamed him to telling to truth instead of having a lawyer. Now I can see why he ended up so confused and bad boy.
Hey lady, the time to be a mother walked out the door when you decided to let the streets raise your son. Raising her voice and kicking him in the rear -too late now.
I am impressed with the officer who talked to him, she got him to talk, she spoke to him with respect and he returned it.

Even if I’ve seen the interrogation before, I stay to watch just to hear your input! Your work is appreciated and noticed! ❤

look up Lonzie Barton, she was the detective there too
I have NEVER been so impressed by a detectives interrogation skills. She is as close to perfect at what she does, as is humanly possible. No lies, no “acceptable “ interrogation tactics. She gets the truth out of them using HONESTY. Give that detective a gold ⭐️ star, alongside her gold shield.
I love this detective too. She had an easy job on this one though with tons of video and pics.
She is amazing at her job!! I have seen a few interrogations performed by her.
Cops aren’t good people. Don’t be quick to give her props. Who knows what messed up shit she’s done off camera. They’re not honorable what so ever.
She is phenomenal but don’t forget she is interrogating a 12 year old boy…she could have had this boy admit to just about anything if she wanted too.
She has earned her's if she doesn't ever grill anyone else. She has shown her skills, perfection,excellence,superbness.

Mother is reproaching him for talking to the cops - even though she found out only 5 minutes prior on the phone not to do that. She's holding her own ignorance against him.
FYI-
FLA law allows minors to be questioned without the parents or lawyer. But parents can stop the questioning at any time.
Kimberly: thanks for the info....btw do the parents have to be notified first? I am guessing yes since you say the parent can stop the questioning at any time....but if not present how would they know when to stop?

I can never understand how someone feels they can just end someone's existence just because they decide to. Just end anything the person may have had planned in the next few days. Just snuff them out forever. It just baffles me to know some ppl don't even care about these things and make such a final decision. Whether the victim wants it or not.

Ain't that the truth
He was one of those hoodlums.
We've got a whole generation of stone cold killing machines with more and more of the youth. They're constantly bombarded with violence on TV, movies and video games. They're being conditioned and desensitized to violence by watching, without the maturity level to exercise the restraint or the understanding of the full consequences like an adult would.
This detective is excellent. I recently watched her interrogation of the mom whose boyfriend killed her baby and claimed he was kidnapped in his stolen car. Top notch!
I love this detective, they all say "I'm not here to bs u" but about 95% of the time that's a lie. She is open with him, and I believe she honestly cares about what happens to him as well. She does have a job to do and she does it well. I believe I've seen her on here before in a different case and she was just as good then. Kudos to this example of the endangered species that is a good cop
💯 I recognized her from the case of the stripper who’s baby went missing while she was at work supposedly. The baby’s name was Lonnie.

@@hrhplease9119 it was a terrible case. Lana and her boyfriend Ruben killed her son. Yeah this detective is great
She doesn't care what happens to him other than getting him convicted, but she does a convincing job of making it seem like she cares about him as she gets him to confess, which can only make his situation worse. She's a good detective.
You can only convince someone to do something that is not in their best interests through the successful use of subterfuge.
@@Sinsteel that's a fair point. I do think she cares more about getting the RIGHT person then just about getting sombody convicted tho if that makes sense
@@goodanytimej8688 I agree. They always say "they want the truth", so maybe that's a good way of putting it. Ideally they want to know everything so that everyone can get what they deserve, though again, it's never good for the suspect.
Detective: "That's a terrible story. It's the worst one I've ever heard." LOL
At 12, I was already thinking and living as an adult. I was kicked out. I didn't understand when I was told that I should still be playing with barbies. The worst thing you can do to a child is to neglect them, and not show them love.
When the police start referring to you as “son” just pack it up. They have you nailed to the wall lol

😮🤦♀️🫢
His mother is clearly abusive. She kicks and berates him while in a police station, imagine at home.
She tells him to tell the truth fully, and then snaps on him when he does. He has no guidance and she's clearly an unhinged ghetto rat.
Wow this is so sad. My son is 12 as well, he watches anime and plays video games. When he sees a homeless person he asks if we can give him money or food. He hardly leaves the house unless he’s forced (school, appointments) so I couldn’t imagine him just going out with an older friend and not coming home for weeks. This kids parents failed him miserably.
You should stop your son from watching anime, that’s a rabbit hole you don’t wanna go down.
agree w the reply, anime is one of the weirdest subsections of the internet ive ever ran into.
This shows the problem with this country. It all stems from greed…..i know this is a really wide lens to view from but in reality it is why so many people have no hope and don’t care about anyone or anything. The greed of others in our society have made neighborhoods and living conditions that breed this type of behavior.
@@kelcritcarroll Imagine blaming others from your own choices. Your environment doesn’t choose your future. That’s just a victim mentality “oh woe is me”
@@sharpshooter_Aus your environment kinda does dictate to some degree your life this is why we don’t like children seeing violence because they’ll reenact it or how when a girl who’s father was abusive to her mother the girl will typically fall into an abusive relationship
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS HOMELESS, DOES NOT MEAN THEIR LIVES MATTER ANY FUCKING LESS.
If you don't have authority over your child when is 12 ..you are not a parent..talking about looking stupid..and yelling at him because he spoke without a lawyer..when she was there all the time....blaming it on the kid.a 12 yo...my son is 13...doing sports...playing on his pc...an A student.i have never hit him ,nor his mom.damn,I might just been lucky??how this parents can live with themselves...
No , it’s not luck . You just raised your kid the correct way . Parents now a days are too soft , the see the kids are siblings instead of kids . This mom had the chance to fix that kid and do the correct thing , listen to how he talks , he’s been in the street for a while before this incident happened . But unfortunately this is the world we live in .
All big and bad until you're brought in and convicted of a crime.
The epitome of "the gangsta"
I'm just seeing this. Being in NJ they don't care if a parent there. My son got in trouble and I went to be with him the officer told me "no" " I would go to jail for interference". Thank God my son straightened out and is a changed man now. This is sad 12 years old 🙏🙏
All parents tell your kids to never talk without them present
She’s the same detective who caught that lady and her boyfriend who murdered one of her babies. They got her kids to join in on the abuse, and buried him in their yard. They were also dumb enough to discuss it all on jailhouse recording. This detective does amazing work!!
Oh, the "my gouges sole mete" dirt bag? The detective's voice sounds familiar, she's obviously good at her job.
The Rodrigues case was Cleveland Ohio, was this Cleveland too? Maybe the Lonny Barton case instead. But I do love the older detective, she seems to really care about the victims and perpetrators too. ❤✌️🙏
Which case are you referring too?
Larissa Rodriguez
I thought that as well, she looks and sounds just like her.
These future brain surgeons were disrespecting, arguing and pissing on the homeless man for weeks before they murdered him.
Townsend was reportedly part of a group of two boys who argued with Trent for weeks.
“I’ve watched it go on and on and on,” said another homeless man, who didn’t give his real name, in 2014. “He would drink and they’d come around and throw stuff on him when he was passed out.
“He would cuss them and throw stuff at them. Then they started urinating on him and would pour Cokes on him, so he got mad and threw rocks at them and I think he hit one of them.”
I believe it.
This makes me so sad 😭 they deserve what they get I was feeling upset for the 12 yr old but hearing that they did this to the man makes my blood boil, Im trying to understand why this even happens these parents need to get their shit together and show their children how to live right.
Ok so that makes sense why he was charged with first degree and not something lesser.
Not to be mean but when you’re homeless you can move to just about anywhere. He chose to stay there. This is no different then those serial killers that start off torturing and killing animals. I keep my eyes open to those types and stay away from them. He was a 54yr old alcoholic. Who tf would keep sticking around to be a punching bag of urinal. Not saying he deserved it but there were choices being made. Maybe his life was sacrificed so they can be taken off the streets in order to protect someone in the future who actually contributes to society 🤷🏽♀️
@@jakeylakey619 you sound like an outstanding citizen 😂 no wonder that other comment got you all
Butthurt
Kid talks like he has marbles in his mouth. Sad case that a 12yr old would even be questioned for murder.
Idc that he's 12, you commit that type of adult crime, you get treated like an adult
i never see this kind of comment on other kids from a certain kind of culture, but that's just be expected.

Not a fan of this comment
I was just listening to the audio, but as soon as I heard that detectives voice, I was PUMPED immediately. She’s a legend, this is gonna be good 👏
When the detective says, "n*ggaz playin' with sticks..." 😆. The way it so naturally flowed out. She's one of my favorites lol
With a mom screaming at him like that, I can understand why he withdrew into himself.
One of several things that really jumped out at me was that he couldn't even read, let alone pronounce, constitution. i'm not sure if this a product of the school system he's in, how much or how little he paid attention, whether he had special needs of some sort that weren't being met for whatever reason (could be any of several), or something else. It surprised me, though. It's not a judgment call, just an observation and point of confusion and sorrow that kids don't get the educations they need, in many areas, nooot just schoool.
I think he barrely understood what the Miranda rights meant. I also think maybe he thought he was cool when he was with the older kid, wanted to impress him, you know, kid hero-worship-type stuff. Trouble is, this guy was all kinds of bad news.
This makes me so sad, for Trent, and for Sharron's family. That said, I think he got his attitude and way of speaking directly from his family. We emulate our parents, after all. They didn't teach him not to swear around adults--they did it with and in front of him!
I'm sorry. Way too many thoughts. Stopping here.
Just curious, what does swearing in front of adults have anything to do with murder?
@VanJam® It just shows his poor character. Kids who act like adults have adult problems aka murder. Litte monster.
This is one of the super predators Biden and Hillary Clinton talked about.
Yes it's very obvious his parents were not involved in his life or schooling
Public schools in many cities are no more than free welfare checks for union "teachers" and detention centers for children where they learn nothing because nothing is taught by the lazy teachers. I don't blame kids for ditching school, and if I had kids I wouldn't force them to go to a useless class in a so called school. But, that being said, I would make them go to functional classes if available.
At 12 years old, I was playing video games and playing basketball.....this kid is at parties and shooting guns. WTF.
Right! I was trying to make it through 8th grade and keeping my grades up for 🏀
He was trying to be like the "gangsta thugs" he saw on TV.
Again l will say, l absolutely love this Detective!! She always has got this.
Thanks for the video tonight…😊
It's just odd seeing a parent ridiculing a 12 year old for making the wrong choices involving murder. That lack of accountability is why he's in this situation
Like a whole community didn’t cheer for OJ when he got off on murder. Odd
@@matthewpaul8755 I don't get the connection
@@TheEllisPrice it’s not odd that she mad at him for talking to police, is the main point. And the example is just a cultural perspective.
He is a problem child who has given a lot of grief to the family.
This detective has the patience of a saint and nerves of steel. I don't know HOW she does it. Amazing work!
His mother, and im making a stretch to call her a mother should be charged with gross child negligence! She should be in court right next to him facing charges 😡
Yaaay, a story to listen to while I'm gardening! Thanks friend!
I don’t know how to grade these officers! You guys are part of the very best!! Keep up the great job!!
I read a story not long ago about a young man from a very rough neighborhood who took a bus to his high school graduation, alone, then walked the stage alone, no family or friends there to cheer him on, not a person who cared for him in the world. After he got his diploma, he got back on the bus to head home, alone. My point being, that life is always what you make it, no one's destiny is written in stone, and just like anything else, this gangster lifestyle is a choice, not a path you have to go down
Absolutely 💯
“Life is always what you make it”. Tell that to a quadriplegic. Nonsense.
@Bonus Flaps So should a quadriplegic just off themselves because their life is meaningless and there's no possible way to make it worthwhile? I'm going to go ahead and say that's not how they feel (if it was then there'd be no quadriplegics)
@@jmal529 That ridiculous question is completely irrelevant. You missed my point. Deliberately I suspect. It's much easier to attack a straw man.
@Bonus Flaps And you missed mine.. Of course there's people in this world that have a hell of alot tougher go at life than others. But if you come from a rough neighborhood you don't have to say "eh may as well be a gang member". You're the one that chose to bring the plight of paraplegics into a discussion about inner city youth choosing to be criminals, not me, so your comment was irrelevant from the beginning, I just chose to indulge you.
Great interrogation. This detective is amazing. My only wish it that the kid would have subtitles, because I have a very hard time understanding what he's saying most of the time.
He’s 12 years old.
He’s a child. Of course he cannot annunciate of project.
I love how a person who killed a defenseless man in cold blood could complain "I´ve been in here for over five hours!" Talk about not understanding his situation.
He would only put on the tough guy airs when his mother was present if you really took notice. His anger stems from her. You see he immediately shaped up when the detective checked him. He yearns for guidance, care/interest, and discipline.
It is all about him.
Right? No conscience
At his age rehabilitation can happen for him but unfortunately with lack of funding and a lack of people who care the system will never be in this young boys favor. I really hope he can turn his life around and realize what he did was wrong.
That Investigator is Incredible! Saw her before interrogating Lonna Barton.
Lesbian
I saw that interrogation too. You're right. She's an excellent detective..😊👍🏼
@@proudmen1220 Maybe she is and maybe she isn't what does that have to do with her being good at her job?
@@proudmen1220 so what's your point?
She still wearing the same shirt. Lol. And the other lady fucked up a interrogation. She was in training and cannot put forward any questions pertaining to the incident. She did and the whole confession was not allowed to be used in court as ,by her asking him about the wepon, violated his rights. The prep was still sentenced to life
The first thing that went wrong was naming him Sharron! He changed it to Tommy lol😂😂
His mother didn’t scream until 2 hours and 21 minutes for anyone wondering from the thumbnail.
@2:18:59 I understand the mom's frustration in this high stress situation. But she was in the room when he was read his Miranda rights the second time and when he signed the paper and she didn't stop him. She also told him to tell the truth. Only to turn around and say he shouldn't have done any of that. This whole situation is just sad everything about it 😡😡😡😡
Makes you wonder if she would have acted that way if the grandma was still in the room.
I don't have any sympathy for this young man but I don't understand how they can a legally have a minor sign a document without the consent of a parent.
@@kalabash72 because his crime wasn't minor
@@daspeakeasy2 I get the gravity of the crime. Minors shouldn't be able to sign a legally binding document without parental consent in my opinion. A minor will want to appease an authority figure especially at his age. They've been conditioned to.
Brendan Dassey of Making a Murderer (Netflix if you haven't watched it) is the perfect example. I truly believe he is innocent. He was 16 and had learning disabilities. I think he wanted to appease the authority figures and told them what they wanted to hear. He thought he was going home to watch professionally wrestling after he confessed. Very sad.
@@kalabash72 Doug I understand that but they had him on camera and other people who corroborated what they already knew because he told others what he did.. also his parents were in the room when he signed the second time and they didn't stop him.
Why did he not have a lawyer?? Being 12yo he should have had a parent/guardian with him before any questioning. America is fucking wild. No other western country would have a kid being interrogated without a parent. Mental
It’s a shame whats going on with the youth these days. Poverty and lack of education is what breeds a child like Sharron. This is sad.
I sort of agree, but millions of children grow up uneducated and in poverty, however they are still respectful and law abiding. What causes this total lack of respect for human life?
@@David-ki6jq
I have always believed it to be genetic somehow. You can blame almost everything that you want to, but there's always somebody out there who has been through what you blame it on who has not gone on to do such things. It's not new.
It makes me think that these people are hardwired to react differently to such trauma, abuse, neglect, struggles.
@@David-ki6jq IMO it’s a combination of trauma, immaturity and untreated mental issues
@BlackAesthetics
Woah, really? I wouldn't have guessed so high at all. Where's that from?
Perhaps, however, he may live in poverty or indeed lack an education, but he lives in a 1st world country where he can eat mcdonalds, he has a telephone or computer to access facebook. Tell me, how many impoverished people can do that? I'll give you one example of those who are really poor, the Dalits. That kid has got it good compared to those in Africa or India.
😁keep up the excellent work! Its awesome watching your channel grow!
There is a lot wrong with that kids story. He even admitted he dared the other guy to hit him before they killed him over $20.
His parent's ability to show restrain when talking, reflects in her son's behavior .
So sad to see young people make these kinds of choices. His momma must be devastated as well as the family of the victim. What a sad tragedy.
His mother was more concerned about her child rather than the person or the family of the one he killed.
you should see the part when his mom comes in. she isnt mad that she killed a man, she is only mad that her son talked without a lawyer. the mom is the reason the kid is the way he is. the only one that showed concern for the actual situation about a murdered person was the kids grandma.
@@evanhale9067 There we go, nail on the head.
@@evanhale9067 she should’ve taught him to ask for an attorney, amongst other things like not murdering the homeless..
Seems the mom was mad that he got caught.
His Mom says now his Dad gots to come down here smoking and she wasn't talking about cigarettes lol 😆
When I was 12 I was playing barbies in the woods and singing Disney songs. Kids are in way too much of a hurry to grow up these days.
Yes. Now they help cell phones at five years old and access to the worldwide internet watching anything they please. All the violent.
Videos, thug videos that they think are funny, music being made with violent words of hurting and killing people and weapons etc. Parents who keep their kids off the internet, spend quality time with them qnd actually having parents that are interested in their kids lives have a much better chance of raising successful well balanced kids. Today's kids are being raised by te internet, and the streets, not the parents
This kid is beyond his years, he does not act or sound like a 12yr old. That's sad he had to grow up so fast instead of doing what 12yr olds do.
“9:30!?! In the summer? Well no wonder…..”. 😂
I saw that female detective in another interrogation already and I'm so happy to see her again, she's very good I would tell her everything
Thanks for the long format releases
I am so glad that I am not growing up in these times. When I was 12, I was still playing with dolls . The "grownest" thing I did at a teenager was when I started smoking cigarettes with my best friend at 16. And I still didn't smoke in front of my parents until I was 30! Too much stuff for these kids to get caught up in. Times are bad. Grown people are acting worse so it's hard to look funny-faced at the kids who act bad.
Interesting how his mother tried to negate his confession by telling him he doesn't know what he is saying because he is on medication but he has already stated several times that he didn't take his medication. But her heartache is palpable. She is pretty crushed that her son just messed up his life so bad. Her sadness is deep.
It's literally her fault. Horrible mother. People like her is the reason why kids today are so messed up.
It was the kids father that put her onto that. If you look at the series of events she clearly just wanted the truth but then did a total 180 after talking to his dad. The dad clearly knew the system and gave her shit for letting him talk. She left the room earlier just to let him talk and then the second time she left she was just about to call his dad...the next time you see her she's freaking out about him talking (after speaking to the dad). He clearly gave her shit for not knowing what was in his best interest.
I'll bet you can see through walls too.
Good lord, I feel for the grandma. Nothing like grandma's anger and the fact he's not scared of it speaks volumes about how much respect he has for others.
It’s AMAZING how this kid can’t grasp the gravity of his actions and the situation at hand. And even more unbelievably ridiculous that he thinks he’s going home…. WOW!
He's 12....how could he? He's literally a child
Neither can the mom, she's likely the reason the way he is.
@@Leoprincess3038 Despite him being a "child", he was sentenced as an adult and was sentenced to 30 years at the age of 15. Young or not, he definitely knew what he did was wrong or he wouldn't have lied and tried to hide evidence.
Will he receive targeted rehabilitation whilst incarcerated? Will his release depend on his progress?
@@croaton07 OK and you see how bad and immature those lies were correct? Even thinking he could lie his way out of it sh!t they had video....I didn't say he was innocent because he's 12 so no need for you to write paragraphs. What I meant was of course he doesn't understand the gravity of his situation, he's 12.....you didn't need to try to explain anything to me I'm well aware of what I said and what I meant by it 🙂
This channel is goated fr 🔥🔥🐐
I like how the detective is talking to him like he was her child. "I seen your narrow behind ..." 🤣🤣
How could this happen with such a mature role model of a mother
I have a 12 year old and I couldn’t imagine… I’m guessing the mom feels desperate… so sad all around.
