Do they teach *Scott? I would love to have an accent like yours! 😊
@@potheadmike8510 She's Scottish, you Pothead
@@gSlover4reel - REALLY! I was this close👌That was my second guess. I pride myself on getting people's origins from their accents and slang.

So the mother knew the importance of having friends and socialising as she did it often but wouldn't let her daughter have that same comfort.
She was not the head of the house. And in that culture that thinking is very strong. They were doing their best but they were too desperate for their kids to do too well. I hope he can learn to take some responsibility like he wants her to.
Do as I say, not as I do.....
@@bunnymad5049 sorry, no excuse in my eyes. She failed as a mother to protect her child from the father. It was your comment however that make me realize that all the time they were speaking of the parents it would be more appropriate to speak of only the father.
@@bunnymad5049 he obviously didn't learn because he didn't admit what he did wrong instead just cast her out. Ever the most disgusting criminals have some family support but they never wanted to see her again. They obviously think they did everything right. Also, the mother was the one who convinced the father to let zer stay she obviously had a say. And somehow I also bet the brother was treated way better. 🙄
Not surprising. This is my guess, but she probably knew what was best for her daughter but typically, Asian families are "dad is the head, then the mum, finally the kid", I don't like this word because it's now overused and devoid of actual meaning, but it's patriarchal, to the core. She didn't want to confront her husband.
Tiger parenting is abuse.
Killing your parents is also abuse
Even tigers not this bad. Narrisist , egotistical , punitive human parenting is abuse. Don't bring animals into it. And that photo too
The parents just wanted her to have a good life and unfortunately she thought she was in love. If he loved her he wouldn't have went through this ridiculous plan. They always get caught
pack it up captain obvious
Then why wasn't the brother a psychopathic killer?
Her father is probably not angry, just disappointed she failed murdering him.
I hate how much I laughed at this comment.
Yer that sounds like an Asian parent
I do not think so, they were driving her nuts and they succeeded, Too strict and no communication. Not a good combination. Stop yelling and start listening.
@@largedoglover99 lol, exactly
Sames.
Jennifer's case has always been very hard for my mom- she had a student with an eerily similar situation, but instead of harming her family, she ended her own life.
So so 😥
🎺
Tiger parenting isn't necessarily effective for females anyway. Women are discriminated-against so overachieving is usually in vain.
For females it usually makes more sense to cultivate overachieving laterally instead of vertically. The return on investment for a doctorate degree is likely minimal, especially in modern times when tuition hikes have outpaced salary growth. If I had a high net worth and a daughter I'd buy her some land and train her to live off-grid as a shepherdess. She could probably attract a great husband that way because her stress-free lifestyle would indicate her preparedness for motherhood.
Well actually...she was such a good figure skater that she was supposed to compete in the Olympics at age 14. Certainly you don't want to waste that degree of talent. But an injury derailed her skating career before it even got off the ground. So she suffered a major tragedy obscurely which is the absolute worst. But it doesn't excuse the murder. The viable ice skating career really puts everything into perspective. Her parents did have a life plan for her which was not only sensible but absolutely fabulous. After that was destroyed they were probably confused as to how to move forward.
I'm normally all for justice, law, and order, but this is one of those astronomically rare cases in which I can feel NO sympathy for the victim(s) at all. The Pans were hypocritical parents who ran their daughter's life like she was a prison inmate, all the while buying expensive cars for themselves and going "line dancing." They set her up to fail from pure pressure, created an environment where she had to lie to survive, and then punished her for becoming exactly what they raised her to be. Van's final statement shows just how out of touch he was with reality, not only still thinking that Jennifer could "make him proud" somehow, but never really acknowledging how much harm he did her.
Yup, the whole story reads like a classic case of narcissistic, abusive parents. The child is always at fault, they are given unreal expectations, and when they inevitably fail they are isolated and made to be even more powerless and dependent on the abuser. Instead of emotional support and understanding, they are controlled more and more.
So well summed up.
Nick Henschel Very well said. I could not agree more.
😊❤️
Absolutely. Well put. Ive seen tiger parenting and Ive seen bits of the behind closed doors and it is horrific. Eggshell walking daily. Tics, anxiety and behavioural problems begin to show in these youngsters.
Everything is commented on and dramas ensue in everyday things from the moment they wake.. such as eating, how much and how you should..thats on repeat daily in every area from study to how you smile etc....its called tiger but can fall into narcissitic parenting too..extreme.pressures placed on an indovidual growing person.
Ive suffer anxiety issues seeing other people have tiger parents. I have nothing but pity and consquences are to be expected in my eyes.
It may not be right what this girl did but why think she is bad when there is reasons behind what she did.
This girl was groomed and parented by them to be who THEY wanted her to be.
She wouldve felt suffocated, confused and wouldve had NO PERSONAL GROWTH.
Who does she turn to for help beyond her parents? How much understanding do we have about how to handle Tiger parents? Should there not be a law in place to see such parents like this as bullies etc? It seems criminal to me and needs identifying and flagging up as an issue before it results in consquential crime from the victim...
Very sad. Very heartbreaking.
She is a victim. We know murder is bad. But she isnt murdering some lovely, kind and supportive. Judt because we expect parents to be she had parents that didnt behave like parents should.
She carried the burden of anger, confusion and never had an outlet or help for that.
Murder is wrong but I doubt that wouldve happened had she not suffered at the hands of extremely abusive parenting.
Abuse goes way behind beating mental abuse is extremely bad.
Sad all round😭🙏
By the time Jennifer told her parents, she was adult. Why were they still treating her like a child by taking away her laptop and controlling her like she was two years old? Horrible parents.
My guess is probably because they were still supporting her financially and she was still living in their home.
Also cultural - a girl being the property of her father until she becomes the property of her husband. Moving elsewhere doesn't remove that most of the time. Can't speak for Canada, but that's at attitude that still exists in many places in the US to one degree or another. And when the girls rebel, they might be hushed, might make a break for it, or might take a route involving drugs or murder.
@@Mr.EmeraldTheGreen they made her quit her jobs. She was making her own money.
She ripped her parents off for years, taking money and pretending to be at university. In reality she was living with her asshole drug dealer boyfriend. When her father found out he gave her an ultimatum, come home and live under her parents rules while they try to sort her life out or be disowned. All those years she took her parents money she made no attempt to stand on her own two feet. She was an asshole.
There's being strict, there's being tough, and then there's installing a tracking device on your adult daughter's belongings.
Lmao They told her to kick rocks if she didn’t like it but keep simping then again what can I expect from someone who draws homelander chan?
@@Sweatyjpegaddict How're those Andrew Tate self-help courses workin' out for ya? Pullin' lots of puss?
That was because of years of lies and her inability to support herself. She convinced them to let her stay, remember?
"They wanted her to have opportunities they didn't" so they gave her no freedom to live her own life at all 🤔 I'll never understand why any parent thinks that's a good way of raising their kids...
Because they're not raising their kid. They're living vicariously through them.
Get your own life.
They were living with the mindset that good grades equal more money and that was their obsession.
@@mariejames3670 huh
@@mariejames3670 take your own advice babes
That "Daughter From Hell" headline pisses me off. The parents from hell set her up for severe dysfunction. It was not inevitable that Jennifer become a criminal, but it *was impossible* for her to be a healthy adult after such a smothered, abusive childhood.
I grew up with parents like this and it scarred me for life. I never did or thought of doing what she did though. Every decision was made for me. Every one. When you're raised like that it's hard to think any differently. You can't make any decisions on your own ,so as adult you make alot of bad ones. Lots of therapy later, I still have problems knowing what is right for me. Years wasted in getting 3 college degrees in a career I never chose. Relationships I wasn't allowed to have... I have some sympathy for her but of course I don't approve of her actions.
Only three college degrees?! You were so badly abused!
@@rollotomasislawyer3405 Yes , 3 degrees that I earned scholarships for. You could do the same if you were smart. But you're not or you would have gotten the point of what I initially said. Instead you show your jealousy , ignorance and approval for psychological abuse.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤.
@@MC-342 What an “ignorant” response from someone who (obviously) has no concept of earning 3 degrees and the dedication it takes to do so!
I grew up in a dysfunctional home and wished I had the opportunity TO receive even one degree.
Despite your endeavors lad, I hope you are living a happy & prosperous life. ☀️
@@rollotomasislawyer3405 What is wrong with you leaving such an arrogant comment? 🙄
I'm in no way condoning or agreeing what she did was right, but I cant help but feel bad for her in some little way, yknow?..
Nah, you lose sympathy when you pay hitmen to axe your parents
She was mentally abused by her parents since she was a little child. It’s sad that it ended in murder, but I don’t feel bad for the parents, they were awful people.
The TH-cam channel @jim can’t swim did an in-depth breakdown of her interrogation. Even though she did a horrible thing I share your sentiment about feeling bad for her. It’s a weird feeling knowing what she did.
Putting a tracker on your 24 year old daughter's stuff and not allowing her to use her phone or computer without random inspections is just....miles beyond what is okay. It's abusive behavior, plain and simple.
Agreed. Her parents helped create the monster she became.
Seen many cover this case but this is the first time I've gotten a feel for Pan as a person in a bad situation instead of a conniving antisocial monster. Well done 😁
I think her father is the one that needs to think deeply about what he's done and his part in what happened to his family. He definitely bares some responsibility here.
No he'd only see himself as the "king if his castle" and demand obedience. Dictatorship.
No he doesn't. Im not going to get into his parenting style but he gave a choice to leave but she didn't want to get her funding cut off and would rather stay with her drug dealer boyfriend. Please.
Well, don’t try to run your children’s lives. It’s the fastest and easiest way to get them to resent you and more than likely, rebel. Raise them to be good people, and let them live their own lives. If you did a good job, they will succeed. And if they don’t, it won’t be from lack of trying.
If her resolution, was to kill her parents because her parents pushed her too hard... PFFFT-HA! That's a sociopath.
If she hadn't done this heinous act, I can tell you, the only way her future was going to be bright, would be under the harsh glare of police sirens and search lights. She's a bad seed.
@@potheadmike8510 Murder is wrong, but she was mentally and emotionally abused by her parents since she were a small child so the parents are still to blame.
@@potheadmike8510 Factor 2 psychopathy/sociopathy has the potential of being environmentally inflicted.
That has to do with the lack of emotional connection between her and her neglecting parents. She had never learnt compassion and empathy through osmosis, because of the constant streak of superficial neglect they met her with.
Her fateful actions could potentially have been prevented. We simply don't know if she would've killed her parents regardless of whether or not they antagonized Jennifer.
She had other options aside from murder. I don't think I'd get along with her parents at all but nor would I think killing them was her only option
@@ratty6484 It's the pot speaking. LOL
this is such a sad story. i can't help but believe the parents' totalitarian treatment of their daughter led to this tragedy. the girl felt trapped and saw no other way out.
Saw no way out my ass, she wanted the money and the assets from her parent and had them killed like a calculating psychopath, she could’ve just left and started a new life elsewhere.
Just lime living in a "domestic abuse / violence" home.
@@z54964380 I bet you are the type of person that would shit on a homeless and say "if you are homeless, just buy a house HERP DERP".
@@saladinnausicaa2759 you are the type that supports killing babies but want rapists and murderers to live at tax payer expense.
she was a grown woman with a job, she had a way out
The phone call of Jennifer calling 911 is honestly so haunting, what with the way you can hear her dad cry out in the background. This case is messed up, what with the background to the case and the murder as a whole.
What’s with the “what with the”s?
Not justifying murder, but my heart goes out to this girl. Based on the information from this story, it sounds like this is about a young woman who was backed up into a corner. Totally preventable. An only child; not allowed to have close friends; no healthy emotional outlets; but still expected perform to a specific standard, would be an unhealthy environment for the best people. Very tragic story for everyone.
She wasnt an only child she had a brother, Felix
😊👍
@@katierasburn9571 but I bet the brother was treated much better than her. He was out going to university meanwhile she couldn't even have a phone, go where she wanted, work a job she wanted or date - as an adult.
@@AngelDeed of course the brother was of value and treated as such. The father us taking away her phone at 24?! Too controlling and unsupportive.
@@katierasburn9571 I think she means location-wise, the girl was an only child. Her brother is gone, out of the picture, so it’s just her alone in that situation. She didn’t have a sibling at the house with her to be a companion (while she was locked up in jail).
When tiger parenting goes disasterly wrong.
It rarely goes right.
It’s never the right thing to do
"Officers struggled to believe how she could have called 911 while her hands were tied"
She did demonstrate it was possible and that she could do it. It's on the interrogation videos.
In the interrogation videos she’s not tied up to a banister so that doesn’t demonstrate anything. Maybe they should’ve tied her up and see if she could reach her phone, flip it open then dial …
Even now, when everyone can see all the abuse and pressure he put her through, her dad still won't take any of the blame for what happened.
It would have been better for everyone involved if Jennifer had left and cut off contact with her parents on the night that Hann told her to leave the house and never come back. Unfortunately, not being able to see the future, Bich talked him into letting her stay. Had she left that night, they would all still be alive, and Jennifer would be living her life as she wanted, freely and openly.
The most surprising part about Jennifer's stories was that she really did have a friend named Topaz.
Haha I had to laugh at your comment! The odd thing about it was the fact that she never asked Topaz to cover for her.
Would it be more or less surprising if his name was Tonk.
Horrible horrible situation all around. I don't agree with what she did but as a child who grew up in a v strict environment I can understand why she did it! Some days you'd do anything to escape.
Yes for sure! Then the parents wonder why the kids "go wild" .....cuz they were never taught nor allowed to learn about situations when under such strict care.
Anything except move out?
I get it too. She was an adult still under their thumb. I feel very sorry for her. I wish she could have found a way to get away from them before this tragedy.
You're all insane. She was given the choice to leave and stay with her boyfriend. But that wasn't enough, she wanted them dead
She didn't need to escape. She wasn't shackled. It was money at the end of the day
As an Asian (From HK origin), I nearly grew up with "Tiger Parenting" but then again my parents were never any academic background. Dad only went to Middle School before leaving the village going out to work in 1960 HK, mom has a bit of compulsory A-levels when she lived in England in 1960.
I think my parents short "Tiger Parenting" during my period of Primary school to Middle school might be due to "Other peoples kids" being compared, which is pretty common among Asian family where they compare how "My Kid is really clever!" bullshit, as if they treat their kids as "Pokemon" competition. I remember my parents blame videogame for my school failing in Middle School, but it turns I had Dyslexia although that term at the time in school was still "unknown". After that I got help in school and my parents have stopped being Tiger Parenting. Probably due to the Teachers and School psychologist told my parents about my early form of Dyslexia
omg. The pokemon comment is so funny. I could just picture that. X'D
She could've left and ran away. That's what I did right after high-school in Japan. I elope with my secret fiance and moved to America. We have been married for over 20 years now and we have two beautiful daughters. One soon to graduate from Highschool and onto college.
Damn, that sounds like some story.
Have you spoken with your parents since?
Im intrigued with ur story. Have u had any contact with ur parents since?
Lesson? Don’t be so strict with your kids or it will come back to bite you. She likely would have been a normal women if not for having pushy parents.
She was a goldbricking slacker. My folks and I, have come to many an impasse. I've never entertained the thought, of killing them.
@@potheadmike8510 Yes. Such a slacker she was working 2 or 3 jobs to support herself. lol. You gotta get off the pot dude ... so you can catch the facts.
@@bunnymad5049 - Yeah, that's really pulling out all the stops... Part time teaching piano and part time as a waitress! If she put a fraction of effort into her studies, as she did in deceiving her parents, she might've gotten at least passing grades.
I think YOU need to wake up and realize, you don't molly coddle bad behavior.
@@potheadmike8510 holy fuck, dude, seek therapy.
She was also a talented skater.
Honestly, I couldn't find myself to have any sympathy for her family. Let's be real here. Her brother would have been treated better than her considering he's a male and "better" child in her parent's eye. The most daunting thing was she was locked up in her home while her mother was out socializing. She shouldn't have killed her family as much as her parents shouldn't have controlled her to the breaking point.
I'm 34. Never been clubbing, never been drunk. Not sheltered though!
Your smart!!
Keep it that way, you're not missing out on anything. I'm only 19 and I'm dealing with alcoholism, due to a severe depression.
Yeah, that caught my attention too. Not going clubbing doesn't make you sheltered and it's not a bad thing.
@@lynnwilliams8295 you’re clearly not
I thought that was a odd remark to make.
As a first gen asian American I understood the pressure she had on her. The super high expectations that her parents had on her was all too relatable. Having no freedom but literally try to fulfill the dream our parents pressured on us. It’s not fun. Worst psychological trauma than the physical ones I got from low grades and improper behavior.
The parents created a monster. I feel sorry for her.
Bender summarized these events quite succinctly; ""Yeah but everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk."
Right you are! 🤖
Tsk... I'm asian and my parents were pretty cool. Sure, they were strict when me and my siblings were little, but they softened up when we grew up. They were like "Okay, you can do whatever you want, just don't fuck up." Sure, I ain't no doctor or scientist or genius billionaire, but I'm doing fine nonetheless. Mom visits twice a year too (Dad passed away years ago), she visits all of us siblings who are now living on different parts of the world, all paid for, of course. I think this 'tiger parenting' mentality is a psychological disorder, like, you were not successful when you were a kid, so you're pressuring your own kid to be successful, living the life you wanted through theirs.
Reap what you sow, I’ve no sympathy to those wretched “parents” what awful abusive people, but she was over 20 & had a job she should have just moved out & cut contact asap
Someone who had been sheltered from everything would not know how to go about getting accommodation.
She could get a job. As to why she did not leave, the family was very well off.
@@ClaireGarrard So she was capable of lying about school, jobs ,who she was seeing and setting up a hit but too sheltered to move out? I’m not condoning how her parents treated her but I’m not buying her being that sheltered.
I wonder how her life would have turned out if Jennifer got the chance to be a kid.
This girl was abused. Tiger parents raise tigers. What do tigers do?
Attack.
Sending love from Toronto🇨🇦...and one of your first subscribers! Thank you for covering this case! I remember each day as every twist and turn was covered in the news. Being the same age as Jennifer, and from the same city...literally and figuratively hits so close to home.
Horrifying parenting. The makers of a murderer.
Agree!!!
What Jennifer did was wrong, but I don't have any sympathy for the father.
The fact the father lived and is still saying stuff like that kind of horrifies me more than the actual crime 🤷♂️
Thank you for sharing. Great coverage
I am really liking these longer videos!! Thank You, DC!!!
There is a lot of missing information.
A: the family was very well off, which makes inheriting very tempting over running away. The father was a very succesful businessman.
B: the boyfriend was a dealer. And not of cards.
C: the parents disliked the boyfriend because he was not of vietnamese ethnicity, think he was of korean ancestry.
D: she did at least pretend to live with a friend.
Conclusion: She could have run away without much problems , but she would have been disinherited from a small fortune.
She is guiltier than the video lets you to believe.
What you shared makes me feel the parents are culpable. They are were out of line treating their daughter like a machine. Very sad this happened and I hope the cultural gap lessens as we educate ourselves.
She was in her twenties at the time of the murders. She didn't have to put up with their bs anymore. She should have told her parents to F off, then move out, continued living with her bf and working her jobs. All the lying, deceiving and then the murder was unnecessary. From age eighteen a child becomes an adult and they can get out and live as they please.
@@kina18 You've not had any experience with mental and emotional abuse, obviously.
@@kina18 you clearly have no concept of Asian cultures and families. You can NEVER just tell your parents to "f off".
@@kina18 I think your looking at it from a different perspective. this girl had been brainwashed from the day she was born and probably couldn’t leave and couldn’t move on. It’s sad she killed them she now has another type of imprisonments one she can’t walk away from both in her head and behind bars
@@kina18 Funny how that is not how it works. My 66 year old brothers and 65 sister is stull hung up on my mother and she has been dead 11 years. Thanks to mom and dad, his girl was damaged so early she had no knowledge on how to behave. You kids have to fail so they can learn to cope with it. When failure is not allowed then the whole system is screwed up. See , it led to murder!!! So LISTEN to the children and stop feeding your own EGO.
Saw this case a couple weeks back on a streaming service ..... such a sad and tragic situation. Tiger parenting at its worst. Imagine being that frightened and pressured that you have to create a completely other life from your parents.
Yeah, I tend to agree with most comments, her parents were terribly controlling and ended up ruining everyone's lives. Obviously, murder is not the answer, but....just listening to this made me so angry, frustrated and peeved.
Altho to some extent I sympathize with Jennifer regarding the strictness of her parents' rules, all my sympathy dissolves as soon as she considers killing them or hurting them. As for the parents, I understand they wanted their children to have more opportunities and a better life than they had had, but...not allowed to have friends or a romantic life...? Are you serious...? I would think that that borders on a kind of psychological abuse, for human beings in general but especially for young people still developing a sense of themselves and their place in the world, their connections with others are probably the most important things there are.
Hello friend. I was referred to your channel and feel super excited to binge watch lol. Cheers!
Thank you for making this video 👍✌️🙏❤️
The twisted parents of Jennifer Pan. They made her what she is.
Yes but to be fair many people have horrible parents and aren't trying to murder them.
@@tonyg5132 They probably think about murdering their parents but don't go through with it.
Did you ever have to survive and ultimately flee a war torn country to save your life? If not don’t act so fucking self righteous!
My parents were extremely abusive i didnt kill anyone
People are so easy on judging someone they havent ever met
Great narration good interesting video thank you.
Even in his last statement the dad sounds like a jerk. He shows no remorse for driving his daughter to this point and kinda verbally backhands her by saying he wishes she could be a "good, honest person someday"
Just curious... Are you even a mother yet? This is not the reason to kill her own family. She is an adult, she can earn money herself, she is a citizen and she can work legally, she totally can walk away with her dream boy. But no, she chose to kill her family because of the money! The father is not a jerk, imaging you sacrifice your life for your child and it ended up your child lied to you all the time and killed your loving wife? He might not the best dad but he did what he could for his family. What remorse her daughter has for killing her mom? There are tiger parents around the world, their children didn't end up killing their own parents.
@@emlambiengyeu The idea that my child would want to choose death of myself or themselves instead of a dialogue to fix things is a nightmare I have. It's a fear. It says I have failed so much as a parent that my child will never be comfortable with me or their entire life to use their voice so they will be abused by the world around them and be taken advantage by anyone and everyone. It means I did not give them the tools to protect themselves.
So honestly I think this guy is indeed a failure of a father because he's pulling "I'm a victim!" a little too hard. Sure, he's a victim... But his daughter is, too. His daughter retaliated. The second your child is too afraid to go to you and talk? You're a piece of shit. Bar none. She was too afraid to go to him, ergo piece of shit. That's very upsetting he was a victim of a crime and sympathy that his wife died.
Still a piece of shit. Pieces of shit can be victims of crime.
@@emlambiengyeu Tell me you don't know anything about abuse without telling me you don't know anything about abuse...
(I'm not justifying what she did, what I am doing is just pointing out that you sound very ignorant about this topic)
I saw another video about this case. During the "robbery" while the gunmen were ushering the mother and father downstairs, the mom still voiced concern for her daughter who was by herself. Even with a gun to her head she tried to protect her child. The full version of events is much, much sadder than the edited account which is presented here. Jennifer had a viable future as a famous figure skater til her injury stopped it. That's an item which is omitted in this video. She wasn't just a good amateur skater. She was scheduled to compete at the Olympics. So her strict upbringing would've paid off but for...
...Oh wait a minute. That's me jumping to conclusions again. Upon regaining consciousness the father told the police that Jennifer walked about freely during the home invasion and treated the robbers like friends. Therefore the mother was probably aware of this as well. So it's not so much that she was concerned for her daughter's safety. He real question was, are you going to kill us to silence us as witnesses to our own daughter's complicity in this felony?
A very sad case, but, probably inevitable given the actions of the parents.
Another great video that gives me chills
The JCS video about this was wild
Thank you 💖
It's the father's fault that their lives ended this way. I feel no sympathy for him
Damn... I don’t even feel bad for them. They brought that shit on themselves. Let her live her life.
Thank You!!! Well Done!!!👍😎🌹
Another great show, thankyou.
A suggestion for you is a couple of Australian cases:
Sef Gonzales.

William Tyrell?
Your video didn’t come up right away in my feed ?! Grr!
Family Guy:
Asian dad barging through the door: YOU DOCTOR YET?
Son: no dad, I'm 12!
ASIAN dad: TALK TO ME WHEN YOU DOCTOR!!! *slams door shut*
I hard a saying once. Nothing so profoundly affects the life of a child as much as the unlived life of the parent.
Well, keep the good work!
Gracias amiga
The amount of abuse apologia in this comment section is disgusting. Her actions were inexcusable but not the result of her just being an inherently evil (or lazy wtf) person. Also her parents weren’t trying to raise her to be her best. I know those kinds of people. They wanted control and a perfect little trophy daughter they could show off to friends and say “look what _I_ made isn’t _my_ work great?” Without any thought to the damage done to the child. Also saying “she should have just left” is disgusting victim blaming and shows that you obviously don’t understand abuse.
I definitely felt for her coming from a similar background but I also wouldn't murder my parents lol. Since she managed to deceive her parents for almost 4 years straight, she's clearly smart enough to hatch up some sort of plan to get her out of that hellhole. I also wanna point out that this wasn't a crime of passion, she didn't kill her parents mid-fight in a fit of rage or just snap and go postal on them, but purposely planned an entire scenario for her parents to end up dead. She planned their murders, and that's not ok.
Except she stayed because the father was filthy rich.
And somehow the son turned out OK.
Great channel!... I'm now subscribed. Thank you 🍻
SPOILER: I don't like this method of parenting. To me, in the culture I grew up in, I can see where it could easily lead to big problems (like the young person committing suicide because they weren't "good enough"). But through deception, Jennifer managed to do quite a bit. She had worked two different jobs, and thus should have moved out on her own (or with her boyfriend) after turning 18. Instead she chose to live with her parents under their roof, with their rules (because she had "outsmarted" them with her lies, and deceit she wasn't living by their rules) Then they found out some of her big secrets. That would've been another good time to move out. Nope, not her, why move out and be disowned by her family, thus giving up an inheritance, when you can just have them murdered?!! Her dad has suffered greatly for what he has done in raising Jennifer. Jennifer is suffering the consequences of her actions as well.
Horrible all the way aroud. I feel bad for her brother the most.
It boggles the mind why she didn't just up and left but I suppose it's the part of the treatment she received - she could go behind the sperm and ovum donors' backs, but she was unable to stand up for herself once it all outed because they were those all-powerful figures in her life and open resistance was something she probably couldn't even fathom existed.
I think the issue is, from a logical perspective, people value money, so she should have moved out when she found a source of income. However, from a psychological perspective, the environment she was brought up in taught her to value her parents approval over everything else, and if she moved out, she would never get that, so she couldn't move out. Eventually, it got to the point where she felt like she would rather remove her parents than suffer their disappointment.
The parents were rich. Not Bill Gates but upper middle class, daddy strictest had a business and lots of fancy cars.
As a Vietnamese Australian I commend you on the pronunciation of the names. You did great! 👍✌️🙏❤️
There's one thing about that interrogation that I've always thought was funny. The interrogator says that the police have infrared x-ray satellite technology to keep track of people's movements indoors, and compare that to witness statements. It was a way to increase pressure on Jennifer, who at that point was still lying. I'm currently studying Remote Sensing for degrees in Environmental Science and Geography, which involves using satellites for weather, surveying, surveillance, etc. Police _wish_ they had that kind of tech. The only thing even remotely close to that is using Lidar scanning to make 3D models for forensics. The interrogator just used Lie-dar on her.
It’s laughable that parents like these often expect their kids to excel at something they themselves are incapable of.
Thank you. 🖖
This is why I always watch videos JCS has previously covered. This was more entertaining to me and more details were revealed. Nice job
Heartbreaking story from beginning to end.
Jennifer should have ceased contact with her parents when she was out of school. However, the parents are hypocrites and created what Jennifer became:
The following is true of many immigrant parents, especially of Asian backgrounds but not exclusively: the parents come from nothing, get an entry level job without qualifications, and work their way up. They were able to do this because they are boomers and everything was cheaper when they were younger - property, rent, food etc. BUT - they have children who don't ask to be born and then if they don't become incredibly educated and successful, they're failures as children. But are the parents doctors? Lawyers? Pharmacists? Concert pianists? No. Hypocritical and unfair to the children. The parents aren't held to the standards that the children are. Parents are supposed to love and nurture their children, and support them when times get tough or if the children are struggling. These tiger parents are exceptionally horrible parents.
Jennifer should not have committed murder but I find it hard to feel bad for her parents.
Facts
I don’t feel a lot of sympathy for them. They created the monster.
The Twisted Plan of Jennifer Pan might have been a better title.
Very tragic case ,but not a surprise since Jennifer had strict parents and she was starting to rebel against the rules.
A sad and tragic tale, and maybe, just maybe a cautionary one for people!!!🙏😷
Everyone has a breaking point. Admitedly this doesn't generally involve putting out a hit on your abusers but by this time she had become a fully developed sociopath moulded by the abuse of her parents. I suppose by Jennifer Pan being locked away for 25 years they ultimately got what they always wanted - their daughter locked away and never allowed to live a normal life.
Its scary how many people r blaming the parents. Jennifer could have left her parents home at any time.
She could have emancipated herself from them. But all in all this was a lose-loses for both parties
Parenting is hard. While you always want the best for your children you also must give them freedom to choose their own lives. The more you push them the more they'll push back.
I'm not condoning her actions or anything, but looking at it from the other side, her parents created a monster.
This case hit me hard cos I too, had tiger parents growing up, albeit not to the extreme as hers. Admittedly I did entertain fantasies of running away or more morbidly, offing them in a bid for freedom (or just for sweet momentary relief) but always regretted them immediately after 😅. They love me and only wanted what’s best for me, after all. I’m in my mid-40s now with an enriched life and I will always be thankful and grateful to them for their strict parenting, without which I’d likely be walking down a path of hardship today.
0 sympathy for the parents. You did this to yourself.
I recommend also watching "Jennifers Solution", its a video that is analysing the interrogation of Jennifer and how she reacts. Its reeeeaally interesting and also shows how remorseless she is (up until she finds out her father is not actually dead, and neither is he braindamaged...)
I watched that video..and you could clearly see she had no remorse and how cold fake she was..
I'm sure it wasn't easy for her to grow up with tiger parenting..but they gave her the option to leave...and she chosed to eliminate them...
@@p0pos309 Good. I'm glad she at least tried to finish them off. Her parents were freaks.
"But what happens to me?"
I’ve heard this case covered a few times. I hadn’t realized just how bad her parents were from the beginning. Yikes... also yikes to the lack of empathy shown on her part. It does make me wonder about her brothers and how they felt growing up.
This case is identical to the Aussie case of the Gonzales family only it was the Son and they were from the Philippines.
These commenters need to watch the unabridged confession tapes which gives insight into her pathos and total lack of concern for anyone but herself.
Don't stress your kids out and teach them they owe you just because you work hard. In saying that, not all kids who are stressed out in the same way murder their parents, but many commit suicide or go doing other self-harming things. Jennifer learned to lack emotion because of the stress. She was guilty but, yeah, they played a part in this, sadly.
Finally 😬
...it has happened to me,
right in front of my face,
and I just cannot hide it.
Etc.
They abused her whole life and objectified her and did not love her... that’s what happens smh pfft
It is Just that her father is alive and miserable. It would be Justice if he remained so long after she is released from prison. 🖖
🧳 Thank You!
This is tragic. Her parents pushed her too hard and ultimately brought this situation on themselves.
Granted that Jennifer did something absolutely horrible that's unjustifiable in any way, it kind of baffles me how the father seemingly failed to see his part in this whole debacle as well. Her reaction was stupidly exaggerated but it was just that, a reaction, to his behavior and previous actions towards her.
When her parents said get a degree she thought 1st degree murder
Horrifying and sad. On both and all levels. Shame. Thanks DC. Be safe out there.🙏💔🦌
there is something criminal about putting that much pressure to perform on your child.
My sister and I had a very strict adopted parent my sister and or adopted mom fought all the time my sister at 18 moved out she couldn’t stay in that house anymore, when I was 19 I eventually got the courage to leave as well. She homeschooled us and we were always stuck in the same grade for years.. after we left we got proper education and are finally able to stay away.
