I was about to say no one’s mentioning the dad/husband. And he was stabbed by his own son, imagine the shock he went through and now both are going through. So tragic. God bless them.
She hasn't "broken down." She is a ROCK of unbelievable Strength! Her faith is unshakeable. What an amazing role model she is!!! I have nothing but RESPECT for this amazing mother who has lost three children.
@@bagpipes978 Maybe I wasn’t clear enough for you… I meant breaking down crying. He didn’t break down like she did and cried. And THEY have three children. And you should have respect for both parents not just the mother. He’s going through it as well
I ran away from home at 17 because my older brother kept trying to stab and strangle me. It's more common than some people think. Very sad. The parents just put a lock on my door and threatened that if I call the police he'll go to jail and it will be my fault. I'm 43 today and after many years of trying to heal with kindness, love and diplomacy nothing has changed so I've gone no contact again. Best and saddest decision I've ever had to make. ✌🏽
So sorry to hear that. I have a hostile brother. I am 43 and I stay away from him. My mother had bipolar disorder. I do not know why my brother is the way he is. But he is angry all the time. I do not live with my family now since I have my own. But i am always looking for excuses not to see him. I cannot imagine what you went through. It must not have been easy
At 17 my brother broke my ribs, he punched me in the side so hard that he also partially collapsed my lung & moved my diaphragm. I wanted so badly to hold him accountable, but instead, my father blamed me for “trying to tear this family apart, a criminal record would ruin his life forever.” So I ran away from home, I’m 22 now and am still trying to teach myself how to survive in the world (I am also chronically ill and autistic so it’s really really hard to do alone.) I can’t even imagine experiencing emotional pain beyond what I went though, they must be so wounded. I can’t have children but at least understand that the bond between parents and their kids is very complicated and evolutionarily charged. Hopefully they’re resting peacefully and these parents can catch some shut eye when possible
Her voice as she described it… it rips your soul apart. She felt it in every cell in her body. She didn’t just describe it, she closed her eyes and saw it again. That poor woman. (Obviously the whole family as well)
When you forgive someone, you’re not obligated to deal with them. It just means that you don’t hold a grudge against them. You are at peace within yourself.
If there's something holding you to NOT deal with the people who have done you wrong in the past then you clearly did not forgive. Forgiveness is a big word, most people can't and do not know how to forgive. We all sin, night and day but here is God ALWAYS BY OUR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT... GOD doesn't say you know what you have committed a sin yesterday so let me not deal with you and have peace within myself... You gotta learn to sit at a table with Judas without letting him or her take that peace you have within you. The peace that most of us is looking for you'll only find it in God.
@@tiffanymartha5468 Forgivness does not mean they need to be friends and see each other, it means they don't hold it against them and that they don't hate them anymore.
I'm so , so sorry for your loss, GOD BLESS you both.and your son , I pray the lord helps him repent!!! and may your children always light your path from heaven.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😪😪😪
There’s no excuse. This is heartbreaking. He didn’t have to do what he did to those poor innocent unsuspecting children. My heart goes out to them. RIP. ❤
It's disgusting how society makes you feel as though forgiveness is a requirement for victims. It's not you can move on and not be burdened with hate in your heart and still choose to not forgive.
You have to forgive not for them but for yourself the Bible talks about it if you don’t forgive you can’t heal correctly and why not forgive if Christ forgives you
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you condone. Forgiveness is a release. It’s choosing peace. Essentially, if you’re walking around with unforgiveness in the heart whether it feels like hate or not, the seed is planted and will grow and eventually show up somehow/somewhat causing more damage in the long term. I don’t know her pain, but I know tragedy. It’s better to forgive and leave life as happy as you can cause people will always fail you either way. We’re all flawed
“My very last sentence was ‘mommy loves you’.” This is all I have ever hoped for when fearing I would lose my children. None of your kids will forget how much you love them
I understand what you mean I think. I have literally drove back to my kids school to tell them I love them just in case they got out the car too fast and we forgot. Never depart them without letting them know that!
The last words my mama spoke to me were, "Bye baby, I love you!" Only hours later she went into a coma and never woke up. Her passing was unexpected. She had just turned 52 years old. Those last words that she spoke to me is what is getting me through losing her!
@@verenasnotsosecretdiary There is where I think that you are wrong and that is when talking about who deserves what, the parents knew that their son was batty and could end up being a murderer and still kept him in the family home with that said sure murder is wrong but we can put ourselves at high risk for falling prey to it plus lets face it the same kind of animosity you have towards murderers is the same kind that a lot of murderers had before they murdered people have to start somewhere. You have the same arrogance too. All I am saying is just what I am saying you can't take it when someone will not side with you and look at how disputes go. You have the traits you just stop yourself perhaps if you turn crazy in a fit of rage and even think someone murdered who did not who knows? You might use that as a justification to hypocritically murder. So you better watch yourself cuz discrimination is discrimination and nevermind you for thinking people cannot do better you aren' t perfect.
The interviewer does an excellent job. He asks the questions in a simple straightforward manner, yet very sympathetic and understanding, with a focus on the future by asking these brokenhearted parents about their hope and prayers for the future. May God embrace these parents with his compassion and love.
After everything that happened she still wishes him well. What a tragic thing to go through. She technically lost 3 kids. Well wishes and prayers for this family
@@jsm61103 yes it is. That's what I'm saying. It shows with her what kind of love a mother has for her children its amazing. I have 3 and couldn't imagine this shes a very strong women
The pain in this man eyes is so raw. This man was stabbed by his own son and lost his youngest children to the same son. The drive to protect can be so intense, when we can’t, we can self blame and self loathe for not doing something earlier for all the regrets. He to me looks like he had PTSD. I hope he lets his pain out some how… and find healing. I love how honest, real and upfront they are about the whole thing. I love how they lean into their faith, not dismiss it in times of heartache. Many dismiss their faith when it does not give, stop from happening or produce what they demand to happen in the earthly realm. This is the worst time to give up on your faith. This is when you need it. I wonder do they have other children? How are they coping? These two souls are truly remarkable. People like this who fight through their pain for themselves and for everyone, including their son are my heroes and heroines. This is what character is all about.
They have two other children. While the murderer is mainly responsible, there’s accountability on the parents’ part as well. He had a history of violent thoughts and MH issues and in and out of 6-7 psych facilities. He “he had been diagnosed with depression and anti-social personality disorder, which is associated with homicidal and suicidal thoughts and characterized as a lack of regard for the rights and well-being of others.” Two years prior to the killings, he hid out in his high school bathroom waiting to strangle the first person who walked in. He wanted to know what it felt like to kill. “In April 2016, a therapist at Highlands Behavioral Health in Littleton contacted the Department of Human Services to report that Murphy had spoken of killing his entire family with a kitchen knife. The mental health worker was concerned that Murphy's mother wasn't taking his threat seriously” He previously admitted to his parents that he had killed animals and had thoughts of killing the family. Shortly before the killings, he set his parents’ SUV on fire and watched it burn. Yet, they allowed him to babysit the children and he shared a bedroom in the basement with the siblings he murdered. Smh.
@@afrobohemianhomes1953 Im not one to cast judgement. What good does it do except add more pain? I see your perspective though from preventing and being proactive for learning for the future. Is this a pattern in families with this concern? How is this typically handled with families? How would the department typically handle these situations? They department allowed the child to stay in the home as well. Obviously if the parents knew then what they now know, I’m sure they would have handled it differently. For me it begs the question, Why wasn’t the department taking the threat seriously?
From the family photo it looked as though they have two other children who were older than the two precious angels the one son stole from this earth and I can only imagine what it’s done to them. I just pray that they can heal properly in the sense that they don’t trigger any trauma….and result in any mental health issues as well. What an awful atrocity he has put on his family….it’s a wonder he didn’t kill his daddy! Id love to hear what he has to say.
I honestly don't know if I'd be able or willing to continue living if I experienced this tragedy. These people are braver and stronger than I would be.
They still had other kids to live for. So I understand why they could continue living. It hurt yea, but you can’t just leave the other kids who are also traumatized.
@@pinkyslippers yeah they said towards the beginning that they had 5 kids in total. They mention the kids names when they said they were playing outside that night. Malik was the oldest and Noah and Sophia were the youngest and there were two more siblings between them.
As a Mother who has buried my only daughter I “heard” her pain. In her cries, her words, demeanor you can hear, feel and see her pain. God comfort this family, these parents who are grieving and physically aching. Love and prayers to them. I simply cannot imagine. 💕🙏🏻
Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. -Mathew 10:21. What’s happening now shows that this system is coming faster to its end as lawlessness is increasing ever more. As the world becomes a darker place, a Christian ought to stay spiritually awake if they are to escape all that is coming.
I’ve said it a million times but the pain in the voice of a bereaved mother is chilling… my mama heart breaks for her and I absolutely couldn’t imagine being in her place. She’s so strong!
I know as a Christian, we are supposed to forgive. But, I’m sorry. When you hurt a child in any way, shape or form, there’s a line too far crossed. As a 57 year old survivor of childhood physical, mental & sexual abuse from age 4 til 13, I still relive that pain every single day, because the internal damage done to that little boy back then, I still suffer from today. And, it affected every aspect of my life. So, there is some pain that’s much too deep to forgive. And, I know I will have to answer for that one day.
@@beenathomas9024 I’m alive! Every single day is a mental struggle, as I live with the permanent constant reminder of what was allowed to be done to that little boy for 9 years, WITH NOBODY BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WITH WAS DONE TO ME! I struggle with & pray about my anger. I’m just saying, I know what I went through. So, what these poor people have been through is truly horrifying.
I am 21 and I am an older sister myself. I stumbled across this video accidentally and it made me cry. Because I've dealt with psychosis and mental illness for much of my life as well. But never have I ever contemplated hurting my younger sister or my family for that matter. My sister is what drives me to be better every single day. I hope this family can find peace. I send you all my love and may God bless you. 🙏🏻❤️
Well those who suffer from schizophrenia and such are usually undiagnosed and can (but not all) sometimes end up in situations like this. You don’t know what was going through the kids head.
Sufferers of mental illness tend to be victims rather than perpetrators of violence, so if anyone is reading this, just wanted to note mental illness does not necessarily or even in most cases equal violent behavior, as this commenter is mentioning. (Although some conditions can disproportionately affect violence rates, such as antisocial personality disorder.)
As a parent who has lost a child, the pain of losing a child is unimaginable. Having one child take the life of your other children, is unbearable. Jesus is our only hope. No matter what we go through.🙏🏼✝️❤️
Reminds me of cain and Abel. The oldest is always jealous of the youngest, I had to deal with it with one of my oldest sister. I never did it with my little sister.
The pain in her voice has me shook. A mother's heart......Dear Lord! I can't imagine, but I know to pray. This is on the battlefield of the mind.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Melissa looks like she is taking it hard physically as well as the obvious devastation. She is wasting away, you need to stay around because your family needs you. Your husband needs you. This story is absolutely horrible.
My heart hurts for this mom. She appears absolutely broken and defeated but when she talks her voice is strong and convicted. The battle of losing three children in a moments time is unfathomable. I can’t imagine this nightmare unfolding inside the family home. My heart, thoughts, love and prayers go out to this mom and dad.
I feel for the father. He is the backbone of the family, and does not have the luxury of allowing his grief to overwhelm him, as he must stay strong for his wife and remaining children. He is in a horribly difficult position. God bless him.
You’re talking as if the wife was exerting some kind of luxury simply by mourning her kid. You don’t need to put the other part of the couple down to value him.
@@Carolina-rd3gh I don’t think he was putting her down. Someone always has to fill the role of the calm one. Always. and it’s a difficult role to fill.
Yes, hopefully they all are receiving excellent professional care. Especially the Dad because of his involvement in the incident and the role he continues to play.
As a person with a sibling that has mental health problems and has gotten violent with weapons and her own hands towards my parents and I, I can say it is VERY hard and you never know when they will break and forget who has helped them through their struggles. Fortunately my sister has gotten better and knows that her past is not the best. I give out my prayers for this family and others who have/are struggling with situations like this ❤️
Same here for my bro with paranoia. Had an incredibly difficult childhood because of his constant beating. He's on meds now but won't admit he ever did anything wrong to me.
@@shaynasheikh4832 yes totally I can say growing up in that type of environment has made myself very scared and if someone get aggressive or yells I kinda tense up and get anxiety
@@shaynasheikh4832 there is, believe me. I got severe anxiety, major depression, and minor OCD because no one wanted to believe their son was psychotic. And I didn't wanna tell them cauze I was scared they will beat him and I still loved him back then, and I hate problems and when they start shouting at each other. He ended up basically restricting me to my room for 2 years when I completely broke down and didn't do anything but sleep to run away from life. My dad noticed and took ME to a psychiatrist. I was furious obviously but took the meds and they had an awful side effect on me. So I stopped them and went to therapy and it helped a great deal with depression, but the severe anxity and OCD needed meds. So I took diff meds and I still take them till now they got me back ti myself. After the first meds failed i told my parents everything and they finally told him to never hurt me. So he had no other avenue to get his psychosis on but my parents. The jig was up and they saw what I had to deal with in silence for 18 years. Thank GOD he know takes meds so all is well. I still have sooo many challenges from that long traumatic childhood. But I'm so very blessed. Already have my bachelors, still struggling with having a job. But I know it's all gonna be ok❤❤
My brother was dealing with schizophrenia and it is really scary and confusing when they get violent and it’s harder when your parents are getting older too. I would advise anyone to carry pepper spray I had to spray him once when he came at me and I don’t regret it they are family but allowing them to harm us is unacceptable
When she started speaking about the incident, the intonation in her voice is like she’s reliving the moment. I’m tear-eyed. The mother has a news anchor or tv presenter voice, very lovely people! She’s torn though. Lord provide her with strength.
My sister(who raised me) recently had some mental health problems and imagined my ex boyfriend was in the house and we were plotting against her and would run around screaming. It scared me, she scared me but she woke me up at three in the morning and said "I would never forgive myself if I ever hurt you and it's the last thing I would ever want to do so I need to go to the hospital and get help because I'm scaring myself scaring you." She stayed there for about three weeks, got help and medication and a team around her. Now we are closer than ever and I thank god even more for my sister. I pray for this family with everything in me
Thank God that your sister knew when to seek help and that the medical professionals gave her the help that she needed so that she would no longer be a danger to you. ❤️❤️
Mental health has a history of being a taboo. I dream that in the near future we can all grow to understand that mental health is just another illness that we must normalize so people feel comfortable to address it. It is so sad that these parents got their son discharged from his therapy when he was not ready and was a danger. So sad
Did she suddenly heal better when you left the boyfriend. It feels like her intuition was warning her about your ex boyfriend. No matter how good he may have been, a lot of boys grow up with wrong teachings in society. They then lose emotional inteligence and are not fully intelligent as humans, snapping at some point over emotions they cannot managed.
This mother is broken in so many ways right now - - and understandably so. I could feel the excruciating pain in her voice and the overwhelming heartbreak written all over her face. What an unnecessary tragedy. May blessings of comfort embrace this family.
She lost all of her babies shouldn't you be saying they lost both of their babies after all I'm sure the father is hurting too people seem to forget that men grieve as well more weight is put on their shoulders in a situation like this because they have to be the strong one I feel sorry for everyone involved especially those two innocent children who are no longer here and to be honest my heart also goes out to their oldest son for being mentally and spiritually lost and consumed by hate to the point of no return I pray for everyone involved
The mere fact they have survived this and are still together, they've already won. this really is a magnanimous feat. May God keep them strong, and may they one day have the strength to open their home to foster children and turn that hurt and sadness in love, love for babies who may grow up without ever knowing it. I truly hope and pray something beautiful comes out of this. It has to.
I don't think in this situation no one "won." Everyone is this horrible situation lost. There's no winning. A mother and father lost 3 kids that day. The pain is unimaginable.
🥺 The fact that they both said “They’re working on forgiveness” man I know that’s not easy but that’s what I admire about them. I know it will not be an easy battle but it’s nice to know they’re bringing it all to God. I am with the mom! I pray for her son’s salvation too! God bless them ahh 💕
My family unfortunately had a similar experience where my older brother murdered my oldest brother. The pain is something that never goes away. I know my younger sisters still struggle with it to this day because they came home and found my oldest brothers body covered in blood. My brother who committed the crime is in a mental hospital now getting treatment but it was definitely a premeditated attack.
Ourcactushome. How terrible the shock of finding a family member in that condition. May you your sisters and your whole family be healed by God. And live lives that are meaningful and purposeful despite the trauma.
Madness, I'm sorry for your loss... I don't think I would have anything to do with anyone that did something like that, no matter who they are. This world is a crazy place, just don't understand it... 😔
Okay, I thought I was the only one…bothered. I am a therapist and I do not think he should have been cleared. The homicidal ideations had to still be present .
@@shortncute002 Right, I’m fresh out of last semester that taught mandatory reporting and following up for means of carrying out homicide or suicide. Also, the case with that man who killed his ex or a girl who rejected him is the example case used in grad programs.
@@hassanas.benjamin3818 I have mental illness and I'm not dangerous and I'm also a believer and was raised in a Christian home. It's about self care, medication compliance, faith, therapy both individual and group. This is a spiritual matter.
Hearing the mother brought chills down my back, my prayers for the families are to find it in their heart to one day forgive him. It will take time as the mother said, I pray God continue to guide them through this tragic situation. My condolences 💐 🙏
The son who committed this terrible act must sincerely and humbly ask God for forgiveness. God said "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We all need to be forgiven. None of us are perfect.
Lord please lay your hands upon this couple this family. God bless them for never losing their Faith in you. So many families after losing a child hate God for it or they separate. It is a blessing to see them standing so strongly in their faith 🙏. I will pray for your family. God definitely has a plan for your family. God bless you both 🙏❤
This is incredibly heartbreaking. I too have a son with violent angry outbursts, he's autistic. He's never harmed anyone, but his anger and short fuse scares me. I've often worried about the safety of myself and my other children in our home and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that. My heart goes out to all the families suffering with mental illness, it's definitely a spiritual battle and it takes a toll on everyone in the family. This precious family knows that God's love and peace that passes all understanding is the only way through this. And I commend them for leaning on God through this incredibly tough journey. Praying God's peace and comfort over them. 🙏
@@Nicole_Thornton8383 Of course it's so easy to say that they should have made another choice. Hindsight.... reality is It's impossible to know what a loved one is capable of. Yes God does bless us with all those things... but once your in those shoes you never know how you will react. Life is so unpredictable, never know what will happen.
Here I’m with the stupidest idea, please forgive my total ignorance in this matter. Would it help to have Valerian liquid drops on hand, and when you notice it starts looking bad, trying to get him used to drink a glass of water with the recommended number of drops of valerian? Once again please forgive me, somehow I thought it could help.
As another idea which I actually did, never leave the violent child alone with the other ones, ever. I have an angry middle child, she’s almost never alone with my littlest one. Maybe once or twice for about 15 minutes. But really never ever alone with the littlest one. Otherwise it could destroy both of their lives. No point
@@mirnaprol2074 just ignore her buddy. Some ppl r too selfish to know what should and shouldn't be done. Ppl r horrible and don't care about each other anymore.
I forgive my brother for taking my sister's life and I pray for him. He's out of prison and I pray he lives a full life AND I still choose not to be apart of his life.
I don't believe people are born murderers. Something happened to Malik, definitely demonic, and that demonic spirit led him. I pray he come to know Jesus and come to Him for His healing, our great deliverer and the one with power and authority over every dark power or assignment. May parents receive Jesus' love, healing and supernatural peace and forgivness. In Jesus mighty name, amen.
The shrill in her voice as she began to recount the events is heart breaking. Her pain and in her slouching is just… It’s beautiful that they’re still together and I hope that god can continue to be with them.
I walk the walk that's why I could tell you how to suvive make Jesus your close friend he will also show you how happy your kids are they are innocent Jesus love children we are afraid of the spiritual world but it's better than the fisical.
They lost 3 of their children that day and I can't fathom the pain and sorrow they're going through. I can physically see the mother's pain and it just breaks my heart. In due time, I pray they can forgive their son; in the meantime, I pray God's grace and strength over them in the days and weeks ahead.
Forgive him for what murdering their children , murdering his siblings?? He is the one that needs to pray for forgiveness from God who will judge him for his actions and HE needs to seek forgiveness from his parents.. The parents can leave their sons forgiveness in God's hands. They are suffering with the loss of the 2 that are physically dead and the 1 who is still physically alive. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. I am sure there is a conflict in emotions towards son who committed the murders. May God in his goodness and mercy and compassion see them through..
@@ovin3912 ppl seem to believe that when you forgive someone for something it means that they somehow get off scotch free, that not the case, forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person it's for YOU. So that you don't have to walk around bitter and hateful because those types of feelings keep us depressed and adds to our emotional sickness. When we forgive we feel free of hate and we can still love the person. There's a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, just because you forgive someone doesn't mean you are obligated to reunite. So, forgiveness can be done without an apology because it's for you. Hate is a burden to big for us to bear and God knows that. If you don't forgive you will not be forgiven. God is the greatest avenger and He says revenge is His. He will handle all perpetrators.
He might’ve been their seed but he was never their son-To be real I would’ve pulled a Kanan Stark and killed him that day…once he crossed that line and took my babies he chose a side🙅🏿♂️
Some people have been through worse, im not discrediting this situation at all, but according to the God they believe in forgiveness is necessary. I know for a fact that you can't go to heaven having a grudge or hate for someone here on earth. I hope the parents can eventually let it go so they can see their kids in heaven.
@@canon6363 well it’s good to forgive and you’re supposed to but in the Christian faith, all you need to go to heaven is faith in Jesus Christ bring lord and savior and that he died on the cross for our sins.
As a older sister with psychosis and other mental health issues this breaks my heart,My siblings are one of the reasons I’m still here and I’m still pushing through life.They didn’t lose 2 children they lost 3,I hope they can find peace and heal.Sending love to them ❤️🕊
Her saying he owes them "an apology". It bothered me. An apology is what you give when you wreck your parents car. The atonement they deserve goes so far beyond apology.
I understand what you are saying. At this point, that's all he has to offer. There is absolutely nothing else he can offer. God will deal with him regarding the rest.
I think she meant as a start though... It was in response to him wanting to speak to them. So it's like in the first place... Very tragic, prayers and love to them in their struggle to stay grateful for what they still have ❤️💔❤️
I think dearie it’s more like they want to see remorse somewhere but he has a mental issue. Mental issue is real and need to be taken more seriously. This is a tough place for any parent.
As a sister of a murdered brother I feel this pain but because I’ve seen my mom suffer through this I get it that much more. Our faith is the only thing we have and what has helped us endure it and move forward.
These parents are in denial. Malik is a psychopath who will NEVER change. The most positive thing that they can do for themselves, is to move forward and forget this psychopathic monster.
As an Angel mom to a beautiful baby girl who went to Heaven after a battle with cancer, I still can’t begin to understand the pain of the parents in this story. My heart goes out to them and I pray God’s mighty hand comforts them as they continue to trust Him through their grief and forgiveness journey. God bless this beautiful family. God is ever so close to the broken hearted. 🙏🏾♥️

As someone who has been in a psychiatric hospital 7 times so far this really struck a nerve for me. I have a younger sister who has a 7 year old daughter and 2 year old nephew and I love them so very much. I suffered for years from psychotic episodes before being officially diagnosed and I'll admit there were times when I had such horribly terrifying thoughts but I'd take that anger out on myself because there was no way I'd ever hurt anyone especially my loved ones. In my opinion, he clearly wasn't given the appropriate treatment for his mental health. How he was cleared and allowed back home upon the advice of these so called professionals is beyond me. I really believe this could have been avoided if he was put on the appropriate medication & ongoing psychiatric treatment. If I hadn't been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder on top of my other mental health issues as well as being put on antipsychotics, other medications, seeing my psychiatrist monthly & being admitted when needed to be I honestly don't think I'd still be here or somewhat able to cope during a psychotic episode!
Exactly, mental health services these days are terrible. not just underpaid or understaffed, undertrained. Sometimes I feel like they hire the least empathetic people for this job with how little they take seriously. I hope they investigated the services he was with as well because they are responsible for a big part of this situation
My cousin abused his little sister. He tried to do even worse things to her than just punching. She stayed at my home a lot because she did not feel safe at hers. She spent a lot of time locked up in her room. She got married at 15 to get away from him. It was horrible. He ended up on the streets addicted to drugs and alcohol. He died at 50. She ended up addicted as well and still is. She is 56. Her Mom should have thrown him out at 18 and tried to protect her. 😢
Reading these comments is scary. This is so common and the perpetrators are always protected. For months I’ve been preparing myself to be able to kill my brother because I know he’s capable of/intending to kill my mum/me/siblings. It’s a horrible feeling
Why tf didn't you or your parents report such abuse?. I mean unless they lived in another country there is literally no excuse for not attempting to save your cousin.
Hard times are like dark clouds. They come qyickly and are overwhelmingly heavy. But they do dissipate and the sun shines through again. Hope the sun warms your heart now🌞🥰
Growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia and struggling with mental illness. I can only imagine the pain this family is going through .....my prayers go out to them and All their children. My heart aches for your family.🙏💔
As a mom, I can’t fathom living a day without my daughters. That requires a measure of strength I hope to pray for here on Earth. I pray for their safety each and everyday.
It’s so beautiful that her number one hope for Malik is to experience salvation In Christ . And like momma said this is spiritual battle . We have to be careful calling everything mental illness . It seems sometime the Church seems to buy into it . We forgot what the Word of God says about the human heart /nature of humanity. Jer 17:19 That it’s desperately sick / deceitful wicked . That no man is good no not one . Roman 3:10-21 The mom seems really mature in Christ even tho she is definitely hurting and rightfully so. I pray that Malik becomes born again IN Jesus name 🙌🏽 the Lord remove his heart stone and get the heart of flesh .
Mental illness is simply demons attacking people. Deliverance is important! I suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts and God delivered me from it. I pray that boy is delivered as we ell!
Jesus… I pray your comfort and strength for this family. I pray that Malik receive salvation and truly experiences freedom from torment and shame, in Jesus’ name!
You know, as a parent I think I would probably have abandoned that soul. I am so sorry for your loss - you two parents, the grandparents, aunts, uncles, communities and the two remaining siblings whose stability in life is forever adrift.
And I thought I was depressed about losing siblings years apart to cancer and auto accident. This is just incomprehensible! God bless these beautiful parents. And heal the sons mind. Don’t free him. Just heal
Ohh my darling so sorry it happened to you. I wilk pray for comfort for your heart. Don't compare your tragedy to anyone elses. You're allowed to feel the pain
It’s sounds like a case a schizophrenia. I hate the devastation it causes. I recently lost a brother to mental illness, it was painful while he was here on earth, it is even more devastating painful he is no longer here on earth. I just hope he is with God.
My family also struggles with mental illness. My mom has schizophrenia and my brother is autistic. My sister is showing signs of schizophrenia. And I remind myself I don't have to deal with it. But who will?? It's something I'm trying to come to terms with. It's like a tug a war. I'm sorry you lost ur brother. Sometimes I wish they can just go, I wouldn't care but I don't mean it. They're still here. I just need to try to help. It's a mental strain. You just want to cry sometimes. Then you're just like why am I so weak? I have all the resources in my hands. 🙄😢🤕 I just relate to ur post. That I'm not alone.
@@maileevyne5000 definitely not alone. my brother and aunt have schizophrenia and i have seen these violent episodes i thought my parents were going to be killed and i could barely go to sleep. many of the family members who deal with mental illness are experiencing mental anguish too.
She didn't lose 2 children she lost 3.
🙌🏽🙏🏽😥
They
A man is also a parent.
They, stupid!
He still has a chance
I'm glad they are still together. These types of incidents can break a marriage apart.
They are all they have
No, they have 2 other children
Me too
So true! They are each other's rock!
Yes!
The dad plays a equal role just like the mom. He may not be breaking down like her but he’s just as hurt as her. I pray for both of them!
I was about to say no one’s mentioning the dad/husband. And he was stabbed by his own son, imagine the shock he went through and now both are going through. So tragic. God bless them.
She hasn't "broken down." She is a ROCK of unbelievable Strength! Her faith is unshakeable. What an amazing role model she is!!! I have nothing but RESPECT for this amazing mother who has lost three children.
@@bagpipes978 Maybe I wasn’t clear enough for you… I meant breaking down crying. He didn’t break down like she did and cried. And THEY have three children. And you should have respect for both parents not just the mother. He’s going through it as well
@@bagpipes978 What about the Father/husband?
I agree! He is being strong for the mom
Mom is literally bent over in pain and grief. Heartbreaking.
Here 2 years later wonder how they’re doing. The Mom is etched in pain her face and stooped body say this was a mortal wound.
As a mother of a murdered child, I feel their pain. A devastating and unfathomable loss
May the Lord comfort you and give you hope that one day you will reunite with your child at the resurrection

I’m so sorry honey I cannot imagine. No one can 💕
I'm so sorry for your loss 🤞🏼🙏🏼
I ran away from home at 17 because my older brother kept trying to stab and strangle me. It's more common than some people think. Very sad. The parents just put a lock on my door and threatened that if I call the police he'll go to jail and it will be my fault. I'm 43 today and after many years of trying to heal with kindness, love and diplomacy nothing has changed so I've gone no contact again. Best and saddest decision I've ever had to make. ✌🏽
So sorry to hear that. I have a hostile brother. I am 43 and I stay away from him. My mother had bipolar disorder. I do not know why my brother is the way he is. But he is angry all the time. I do not live with my family now since I have my own. But i am always looking for excuses not to see him. I cannot imagine what you went through. It must not have been easy
Families are so dysfunctional and toxic. No, it would be his fault if he went to jail not yours. I'm glad you left them alone.
Sorry to hear that. I’m glad you are away from that horror now. Hoping you will continue to thrive. God bless you.
Jesus loves you all so much, He understands you and loves you🤍 Please give your life to Him, He loves you
I cannot fathom this kind of willful blindness. Your fault??
At 17 my brother broke my ribs, he punched me in the side so hard that he also partially collapsed my lung & moved my diaphragm. I wanted so badly to hold him accountable, but instead, my father blamed me for “trying to tear this family apart, a criminal record would ruin his life forever.” So I ran away from home, I’m 22 now and am still trying to teach myself how to survive in the world (I am also chronically ill and autistic so it’s really really hard to do alone.) I can’t even imagine experiencing emotional pain beyond what I went though, they must be so wounded. I can’t have children but at least understand that the bond between parents and their kids is very complicated and evolutionarily charged. Hopefully they’re resting peacefully and these parents can catch some shut eye when possible
Aw stay strong you got this!! 💓
Omg, that's awful! Are you OK?
Please message me if you need anything

God Bless you, you are going to be fine. I know how intelligent you are from your writing. You will prosper in life! 🙏
Her voice as she described it… it rips your soul apart. She felt it in every cell in her body. She didn’t just describe it, she closed her eyes and saw it again. That poor woman. (Obviously the whole family as well)
i can tell the debiliating effects of the heartbreak and terror. I wish that wouldn't have happened to them :/ to anyone at that
When you forgive someone, you’re not obligated to deal with them. It just means that you don’t hold a grudge against them. You are at peace within yourself.
If there's something holding you to NOT deal with the people who have done you wrong in the past then you clearly did not forgive.
Forgiveness is a big word, most people can't and do not know how to forgive.
We all sin, night and day but here is God ALWAYS BY OUR SIDE NO MATTER WHAT...
GOD doesn't say you know what you have committed a sin yesterday so let me not deal with you and have peace within myself...
You gotta learn to sit at a table with Judas without letting him or her take that peace you have within you.
The peace that most of us is looking for you'll only find it in God.
Oh please they both go visit him regularly and he stabbed the father as well. UNFORGIVABLE. These people are foolish.
@@yl3886 "Those people" are his parents. Think before you speak.

i can't get past the part where they were expecting something like this from him. what in the hell?
We do not know the whole story about this son
It's disgusting how society makes you feel as though forgiveness is a requirement for victims. It's not you can move on and not be burdened with hate in your heart and still choose to not forgive.
Right
Totally agree Lisa Clark
The bible says to forgive but it does not say you have to forget.
You have to forgive not for them but for yourself the Bible talks about it if you don’t forgive you can’t heal correctly and why not forgive if Christ forgives you
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you condone. Forgiveness is a release. It’s choosing peace. Essentially, if you’re walking around with unforgiveness in the heart whether it feels like hate or not, the seed is planted and will grow and eventually show up somehow/somewhat causing more damage in the long term. I don’t know her pain, but I know tragedy. It’s better to forgive and leave life as happy as you can cause people will always fail you either way. We’re all flawed
“My very last sentence was ‘mommy loves you’.” This is all I have ever hoped for when fearing I would lose my children. None of your kids will forget how much you love them
@Emily wow 😮
I understand what you mean I think. I have literally drove back to my kids school to tell them I love them just in case they got out the car too fast and we forgot. Never depart them without letting them know that!
@@tneshaward6121 exact same here!!! 🥺💕
The last words my mama spoke to me were, "Bye baby, I love you!" Only hours later she went into a coma and never woke up. Her passing was unexpected. She had just turned 52 years old. Those last words that she spoke to me is what is getting me through losing her!

Nobody has the right to tell you to forgive. No matter what the lawyers, therapists, and clergy tell you, you are under no obligation to hear him out.

@just sal that's BS,he doesn't deserve forgiveness for those vicious acts,he deserves the death penalty
This is also their child that did this act though so it’s way different than a stranger….
@just sal no not everyone deserves forgiveness especially a murderer
@@verenasnotsosecretdiary
There is where I think that you are wrong and that is when talking about who deserves what, the parents knew that their son was batty and could end up being a murderer and still kept him in the family home with that said sure murder is wrong but we can put ourselves at high risk for falling prey to it plus lets face it the same kind of animosity you have towards murderers is the same kind that a lot of murderers had before they murdered people have to start somewhere. You have the same arrogance too. All I am saying is just what I am saying you can't take it when someone will not side with you and look at how disputes go.
You have the traits you just stop yourself perhaps if you turn crazy in a fit of rage and even think someone murdered who did not who knows? You might use that as a justification to hypocritically murder. So you better watch yourself cuz discrimination is discrimination and nevermind you for thinking people cannot do better you aren' t perfect.
The interviewer does an excellent job. He asks the questions in a simple straightforward manner, yet very sympathetic and understanding, with a focus on the future by asking these brokenhearted parents about their hope and prayers for the future. May God embrace these parents with his compassion and love.
I think the interviewer was very sensitive to them, which is such a kindness. I cannot even start to imagine how terrible their pain is.
When the mother said “and I knew he was gone” referring to her young son made my spine chill 😭😭😭😭
Me too. Her raw emotion, how much it hurts her :(
After everything that happened she still wishes him well. What a tragic thing to go through. She technically lost 3 kids. Well wishes and prayers for this family

@@VishusVenom seek healing instead of attention from strangers in comments section.
@@VishusVenom why would you say that?
@@BloodNote Because it seemed fake. Wow, deja vu.
The pain in this man eyes is so raw. This man was stabbed by his own son and lost his youngest children to the same son. The drive to protect can be so intense, when we can’t, we can self blame and self loathe for not doing something earlier for all the regrets. He to me looks like he had PTSD. I hope he lets his pain out some how… and find healing. I love how honest, real and upfront they are about the whole thing. I love how they lean into their faith, not dismiss it in times of heartache. Many dismiss their faith when it does not give, stop from happening or produce what they demand to happen in the earthly realm. This is the worst time to give up on your faith. This is when you need it.
I wonder do they have other children?
How are they coping?
These two souls are truly remarkable. People like this who fight through their pain for themselves and for everyone, including their son are my heroes and heroines. This is what character is all about.
They have two other children.
While the murderer is mainly responsible, there’s accountability on the parents’ part as well. He had a history of violent thoughts and MH issues and in and out of 6-7 psych facilities. He “he had been diagnosed with depression and anti-social personality disorder, which is associated with homicidal and suicidal thoughts and characterized as a lack of regard for the rights and well-being of others.”
Two years prior to the killings, he hid out in his high school bathroom waiting to strangle the first person who walked in. He wanted to know what it felt like to kill.
“In April 2016, a therapist at Highlands Behavioral Health in Littleton contacted the Department of Human Services to report that Murphy had spoken of killing his entire family with a kitchen knife. The mental health worker was concerned that Murphy's mother wasn't taking his threat seriously”
He previously admitted to his parents that he had killed animals and had thoughts of killing the family. Shortly before the killings, he set his parents’ SUV on fire and watched it burn.
Yet, they allowed him to babysit the children and he shared a bedroom in the basement with the siblings he murdered. Smh.
They had 5 children before the stabbing incident.
@@afrobohemianhomes1953 Im not one to cast judgement. What good does it do except add more pain?
I see your perspective though from preventing and being proactive for learning for the future. Is this a pattern in families with this concern? How is this typically handled with families? How would the department typically handle these situations? They department allowed the child to stay in the home as well. Obviously if the parents knew then what they now know, I’m sure they would have handled it differently.
For me it begs the question, Why wasn’t the department taking the threat seriously?
From the family photo it looked as though they have two other children who were older than the two precious angels the one son stole from this earth and I can only imagine what it’s done to them. I just pray that they can heal properly in the sense that they don’t trigger any trauma….and result in any mental health issues as well. What an awful atrocity he has put on his family….it’s a wonder he didn’t kill his daddy! Id love to hear what he has to say.
@@afrobohemianhomes1953 they mentioned that the therapist cleared him to come back home.
I honestly don't know if I'd be able or willing to continue living if I experienced this tragedy. These people are braver and stronger than I would be.
They still had other kids to live for. So I understand why they could continue living. It hurt yea, but you can’t just leave the other kids who are also traumatized.
Yeah but they also had 2 other kids, younger than the oldest but older than the two youngest
@@quxnjay I must have missed that part about them having 2 more kids. I thought it was just the 3 kids.
@@pinkyslippers yeah they said towards the beginning that they had 5 kids in total. They mention the kids names when they said they were playing outside that night. Malik was the oldest and Noah and Sophia were the youngest and there were two more siblings between them.
Same! The only thing that would keep me alive would be if I had other children still. I can't even fathom how they get through each day 😭
the devastation in the mother’s voice when talking about finding her son’s body completely broke me, had me sobbing. 💔
Kay, I know..how terrible. That's when I stopped watching, poor poor woman
So sad 😢

As a Mother who has buried my only daughter I “heard” her pain. In her cries, her words, demeanor you can hear, feel and see her pain. God comfort this family, these parents who are grieving and physically aching. Love and prayers to them. I simply cannot imagine. 💕🙏🏻
I'm so very sorry for your loss Mary. Wishing you love, peace and strength. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss as well sweetie . 🙏🏻
From one mother's heart to another, I cannot imagine. Sending you sincere caring and prayers.
Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. -Mathew 10:21. What’s happening now shows that this system is coming faster to its end as lawlessness is increasing ever more. As the world becomes a darker place, a Christian ought to stay spiritually awake if they are to escape all that is coming.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I share in your grief with losing a child. This hurts a lot.
Dear Lord please heal and comfort this family 🙏
I’ve said it a million times but the pain in the voice of a bereaved mother is chilling… my mama heart breaks for her and I absolutely couldn’t imagine being in her place. She’s so strong!
💔💔💔🙏🙏
There’s something so unmistakable about the sound of her grief. It’s palpable.
I got goosebumps when she started talking. Her pain was unbearable for me to watch and I can never imagine how it feels being in such a situation.
I know as a Christian, we are supposed to forgive. But, I’m sorry. When you hurt a child in any way, shape or form, there’s a line too far crossed.
As a 57 year old survivor of childhood physical, mental & sexual abuse from age 4 til 13, I still relive that pain every single day, because the internal damage done to that little boy back then, I still suffer from today. And, it affected every aspect of my life.
So, there is some pain that’s much too deep to forgive. And, I know I will have to answer for that one day.
Hope you are doing ok ❤️
@@beenathomas9024
I’m alive! Every single day is a mental struggle, as I live with the permanent constant reminder of what was allowed to be done to that little boy for 9 years, WITH NOBODY BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WITH WAS DONE TO ME! I struggle with & pray about my anger.
I’m just saying, I know what I went through. So, what these poor people have been through is truly horrifying.
Exactly, forgiveness depends on the sin and this violent crime doesn't warrant it in any way
💜💜💜💜
I'm pretty sure God will understand, Nacho Mamma. All the best to you ❤️
I am 21 and I am an older sister myself. I stumbled across this video accidentally and it made me cry. Because I've dealt with psychosis and mental illness for much of my life as well. But never have I ever contemplated hurting my younger sister or my family for that matter. My sister is what drives me to be better every single day. I hope this family can find peace. I send you all my love and may God bless you. 🙏🏻❤️
Aww
May God bless you too Karina. Sending you hugs and prayers❤️
Keep looking forward and don’t be too hard on yourself. You sound like a lovely person.🙏🏾
Well those who suffer from schizophrenia and such are usually undiagnosed and can (but not all) sometimes end up in situations like this. You don’t know what was going through the kids head.
Sufferers of mental illness tend to be victims rather than perpetrators of violence, so if anyone is reading this, just wanted to note mental illness does not necessarily or even in most cases equal violent behavior, as this commenter is mentioning. (Although some conditions can disproportionately affect violence rates, such as antisocial personality disorder.)
Praying for this young man's salvation.
And, complete deliverance and total restoration.
As a parent who has lost a child, the pain of losing a child is unimaginable. Having one child take the life of your other children, is unbearable. Jesus is our only hope. No matter what we go through.🙏🏼✝️❤️
Reminds me of cain and Abel. The oldest is always jealous of the youngest, I had to deal with it with one of my oldest sister. I never did it with my little sister.
He really is. Jesus is the answer for the world today.
May I recommend Elder Murray ch. Soul changing.
They really have lost 3 of their children.
Amen! Yes He is!
The worst for sure. Cannot wait to see my only baby and hug him. ( 18 )

Insensitive comment about wasting away. I could expound but lots of reasons not to post something like that.
I wondered if she was a drug user prior to the death, but she could have be losing weight due to the loss.
My heart hurts for this mom. She appears absolutely broken and defeated but when she talks her voice is strong and convicted. The battle of losing three children in a moments time is unfathomable. I can’t imagine this nightmare unfolding inside the family home. My heart, thoughts, love and prayers go out to this mom and dad.

Fortunately my sister has gotten better and knows that her past is not the best. I give out my prayers for this family and others who have/are struggling with situations like this ❤️
this is not mental health this is entity possession.
Same here for my bro with paranoia. Had an incredibly difficult childhood because of his constant beating. He's on meds now but won't admit he ever did anything wrong to me.
@@shaynasheikh4832 yes totally I can say growing up in that type of environment has made myself very scared and if someone get aggressive or yells I kinda tense up and get anxiety
@@shaynasheikh4832 there is, believe me. I got severe anxiety, major depression, and minor OCD because no one wanted to believe their son was psychotic. And I didn't wanna tell them cauze I was scared they will beat him and I still loved him back then, and I hate problems and when they start shouting at each other. He ended up basically restricting me to my room for 2 years when I completely broke down and didn't do anything but sleep to run away from life. My dad noticed and took ME to a psychiatrist. I was furious obviously but took the meds and they had an awful side effect on me. So I stopped them and went to therapy and it helped a great deal with depression, but the severe anxity and OCD needed meds. So I took diff meds and I still take them till now they got me back ti myself. After the first meds failed i told my parents everything and they finally told him to never hurt me. So he had no other avenue to get his psychosis on but my parents. The jig was up and they saw what I had to deal with in silence for 18 years. Thank GOD he know takes meds so all is well. I still have sooo many challenges from that long traumatic childhood. But I'm so very blessed. Already have my bachelors, still struggling with having a job. But I know it's all gonna be ok❤❤
My brother was dealing with schizophrenia and it is really scary and confusing when they get violent and it’s harder when your parents are getting older too. I would advise anyone to carry pepper spray I had to spray him once when he came at me and I don’t regret it they are family but allowing them to harm us is unacceptable
When she started speaking about the incident, the intonation in her voice is like she’s reliving the moment. I’m tear-eyed. The mother has a news anchor or tv presenter voice, very lovely people! She’s torn though. Lord provide her with strength.

The pain in the mum's voice is out of this world. May God heal this family
My sister(who raised me) recently had some mental health problems and imagined my ex boyfriend was in the house and we were plotting against her and would run around screaming. It scared me, she scared me but she woke me up at three in the morning and said "I would never forgive myself if I ever hurt you and it's the last thing I would ever want to do so I need to go to the hospital and get help because I'm scaring myself scaring you."
She stayed there for about three weeks, got help and medication and a team around her. Now we are closer than ever and I thank god even more for my sister.
I pray for this family with everything in me
May Allah SWT (God) keep your sister well 🤲 Ameen.
Thank God that your sister knew when to seek help and that the medical professionals gave her the help that she needed so that she would no longer be a danger to you. ❤️❤️
Mental health has a history of being a taboo. I dream that in the near future we can all grow to understand that mental health is just another illness that we must normalize so people feel comfortable to address it. It is so sad that these parents got their son discharged from his therapy when he was not ready and was a danger. So sad
Did she suddenly heal better when you left the boyfriend. It feels like her intuition was warning her about your ex boyfriend. No matter how good he may have been, a lot of boys grow up with wrong teachings in society. They then lose emotional inteligence and are not fully intelligent as humans, snapping at some point over emotions they cannot managed.
This mother is broken in so many ways right now - - and understandably so. I could feel the excruciating pain in her voice and the overwhelming heartbreak written all over her face. What an unnecessary tragedy. May blessings of comfort embrace this family.

I don't think in this situation no one "won." Everyone is this horrible situation lost. There's no winning. A mother and father lost 3 kids that day. The pain is unimaginable.
They didn't win anything...
It’s going to be very hard for them to be approved for foster or adoption….. all they can do is grow their relationship with God
I guess we live in a world so selfish that people are thinking that something like this would break a family up. It’s a shame
I was so glad when she said that her hope is for her son's salvation. Praise God!
🥺 The fact that they both said “They’re working on forgiveness” man I know that’s not easy but that’s what I admire about them. I know it will not be an easy battle but it’s nice to know they’re bringing it all to God. I am with the mom! I pray for her son’s salvation too! God bless them ahh 💕

Yes, she looks absolutely shattered - and who wouldn't?!
May God be her strength & hope.
And 'amen' to Malik being born again!
Amen I stand in agreement!!🕊
If you look at the family photos you'd see she's naturally a very small woman anyway. In agreement with the rest though.
Amen🙏🏽
Amen
My family unfortunately had a similar experience where my older brother murdered my oldest brother. The pain is something that never goes away. I know my younger sisters still struggle with it to this day because they came home and found my oldest brothers body covered in blood. My brother who committed the crime is in a mental hospital now getting treatment but it was definitely a premeditated attack.
Ourcactushome. How terrible the shock of finding a family member in that condition. May you your sisters and your whole family be healed by God. And live lives that are meaningful and purposeful despite the trauma.
Madness, I'm sorry for your loss... I don't think I would have anything to do with anyone that did something like that, no matter who they are. This world is a crazy place, just don't understand it... 😔
Good
I'm so sorry, I can't imagine the feelings you must go through still to this day, on a daily basis
I’m so sorry for you and your whole family. I cannot imagine the hurt you must feel. Sending healing hugs x
As a mother who lost my son all I can say is God bless the family. The loss is painful.
Bless you, too
Therapist that cleared him though. As a psych grad student that part really poked me.
They need to change these dam rules. Mental illiness ppl are dangerous if they kill someone they need to go to I jail for ever!!!!
Okay, I thought I was the only one…bothered. I am a therapist and I do not think he should have been cleared. The homicidal ideations had to still be present .
@@shortncute002 Right, I’m fresh out of last semester that taught mandatory reporting and following up for means of carrying out homicide or suicide. Also, the case with that man who killed his ex or a girl who rejected him is the example case used in grad programs.
Yep. That therapist needs to lose their license.
@@hassanas.benjamin3818 I have mental illness and I'm not dangerous and I'm also a believer and was raised in a Christian home. It's about self care, medication compliance, faith, therapy both individual and group. This is a spiritual matter.
Hearing the mother brought chills down my back, my prayers for the families are to find it in their heart to one day forgive him. It will take time as the mother said, I pray God continue to guide them through this tragic situation. My condolences 💐 🙏
Forgive him? Why?
The son who committed this terrible act must sincerely and humbly ask God for forgiveness. God said "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We all need to be forgiven. None of us are perfect.
Lord please lay your hands upon this couple this family. God bless them for never losing their Faith in you. So many families after losing a child hate God for it or they separate. It is a blessing to see them standing so strongly in their faith 🙏. I will pray for your family. God definitely has a plan for your family. God bless you both 🙏❤
This is incredibly heartbreaking. I too have a son with violent angry outbursts, he's autistic. He's never harmed anyone, but his anger and short fuse scares me. I've often worried about the safety of myself and my other children in our home and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that. My heart goes out to all the families suffering with mental illness, it's definitely a spiritual battle and it takes a toll on everyone in the family.
This precious family knows that God's love and peace that passes all understanding is the only way through this. And I commend them for leaning on God through this incredibly tough journey. Praying God's peace and comfort over them. 🙏
Sending lots of love and praying to God that you and your family remain Happy Always Ma'am 🙏
@@Nicole_Thornton8383 Of course it's so easy to say that they should have made another choice. Hindsight.... reality is It's impossible to know what a loved one is capable of. Yes God does bless us with all those things... but once your in those shoes you never know how you will react. Life is so unpredictable, never know what will happen.
Here I’m with the stupidest idea, please forgive my total ignorance in this matter. Would it help to have Valerian liquid drops on hand, and when you notice it starts looking bad, trying to get him used to drink a glass of water with the recommended number of drops of valerian? Once again please forgive me, somehow I thought it could help.
As another idea which I actually did, never leave the violent child alone with the other ones, ever. I have an angry middle child, she’s almost never alone with my littlest one. Maybe once or twice for about 15 minutes. But really never ever alone with the littlest one. Otherwise it could destroy both of their lives. No point
@@mirnaprol2074 just ignore her buddy. Some ppl r too selfish to know what should and shouldn't be done. Ppl r horrible and don't care about each other anymore.
I forgive my brother for taking my sister's life and I pray for him. He's out of prison and I pray he lives a full life AND I still choose not to be apart of his life.
I don't believe people are born murderers. Something happened to Malik, definitely demonic, and that demonic spirit led him. I pray he come to know Jesus and come to Him for His healing, our great deliverer and the one with power and authority over every dark power or assignment. May parents receive Jesus' love, healing and supernatural peace and forgivness. In Jesus mighty name, amen.
Its true its because of demonic possession. Only Jesus can heal and set him free
Amen it’s true
Absolutely !!!
*@Katie* Totally agree with you 💯%
Yes demons can put thoughts into your head unfortunately...this was definitely demonic.
This story is devastating. I don’t know how they can even cope. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
They're barely coping 😑😑
Strengthen her Lord in Jesus name
The shrill in her voice as she began to recount the events is heart breaking. Her pain and in her slouching is just…
It’s beautiful that they’re still together and I hope that god can continue to be with them.
They must be blessed and strong.
I walk the walk that's why I could tell you how to suvive make Jesus your close friend he will also show you how happy your kids are they are innocent Jesus love children we are afraid of the spiritual world but it's better than the fisical.
They lost 3 of their children that day and I can't fathom the pain and sorrow they're going through. I can physically see the mother's pain and it just breaks my heart. In due time, I pray they can forgive their son; in the meantime, I pray God's grace and strength over them in the days and weeks ahead.
Forgive him for what murdering their children , murdering his siblings?? He is the one that needs to pray for forgiveness from God who will judge him for his actions and HE needs to seek forgiveness from his parents.. The parents can leave their sons forgiveness in God's hands. They are suffering with the loss of the 2 that are physically dead and the 1 who is still physically alive. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. I am sure there is a conflict in emotions towards son who committed the murders. May God in his goodness and mercy and compassion see them through..
@@ovin3912 ppl seem to believe that when you forgive someone for something it means that they somehow get off scotch free, that not the case, forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person it's for YOU. So that you don't have to walk around bitter and hateful because those types of feelings keep us depressed and adds to our emotional sickness. When we forgive we feel free of hate and we can still love the person. There's a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, just because you forgive someone doesn't mean you are obligated to reunite. So, forgiveness can be done without an apology because it's for you. Hate is a burden to big for us to bear and God knows that. If you don't forgive you will not be forgiven. God is the greatest avenger and He says revenge is His. He will handle all perpetrators.
He might’ve been their seed but he was never their son-To be real I would’ve pulled a Kanan Stark and killed him that day…once he crossed that line and took my babies he chose a side🙅🏿♂️
I love this mother's love for our Lord and I'm praying for her son's salvation as well. This mom is awesome
I can’t imagine having a home full of love and precious children then nothing…dead silence…they are truly a strong couple.
@iKandi worse at the hands of someone who should have been their protector
I wonder what his treatment plan was and was he getting competent medical treatment.
@@michelej9496 hopefully he’ll get the help he needs
Makes my problems seem like nothing. God bless them.
This is the definition of unforgivable.
Some people have been through worse, im not discrediting this situation at all, but according to the God they believe in forgiveness is necessary. I know for a fact that you can't go to heaven having a grudge or hate for someone here on earth. I hope the parents can eventually let it go so they can see their kids in heaven.
@@canon6363 He was 19 and stabbed two children to death. This isn't a "grudge" they are holding.
And yet, they walk on a path towards forgiveness.
@@canon6363 well it’s good to forgive and you’re supposed to but in the Christian faith, all you need to go to heaven is faith in Jesus Christ bring lord and savior and that he died on the cross for our sins.
Yes
Props to these parents man. Crazy amount of composure they showed in this interview.
As a older sister with psychosis and other mental health issues this breaks my heart,My siblings are one of the reasons I’m still here and I’m still pushing through life.They didn’t lose 2 children they lost 3,I hope they can find peace and heal.Sending love to them ❤️🕊
@@leighhoppins9273 Are you able to be in a reltionship?
Lord, we all need you in this fallen world. I lift this family up to you for healing in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
Amen 🙏🙏
You do realize that Jesus dad made this happen, right?
Amen
i can't understand how you turn to god when god made that boy kill his siblings
Her saying he owes them "an apology". It bothered me. An apology is what you give when you wreck your parents car. The atonement they deserve goes so far beyond apology.
I understand what you are saying. At this point, that's all he has to offer. There is absolutely nothing else he can offer. God will deal with him regarding the rest.
I think she meant as a start though... It was in response to him wanting to speak to them. So it's like in the first place... Very tragic, prayers and love to them in their struggle to stay grateful for what they still have ❤️💔❤️
Nothing get from him will bring your babies back
I think dearie it’s more like they want to see remorse somewhere but he has a mental issue. Mental issue is real and need to be taken more seriously. This is a tough place for any parent.
It’s not about the apology, it’s about him acknowledging what he done and having remorse for it.
What a horrific story. So sad, to have to choose on how to feel about your own children. God give this family strength.
As a sister of a murdered brother I feel this pain but because I’ve seen my mom suffer through this I get it that much more. Our faith is the only thing we have and what has helped us endure it and move forward.
God bless you!
….. that’s very painful to even watch and hear . May God be them all …..
These parents are in denial. Malik is a psychopath who will NEVER change. The most positive thing that they can do for themselves, is to move forward and forget this psychopathic monster.
As an Angel mom to a beautiful baby girl who went to Heaven after a battle with cancer, I still can’t begin to understand the pain of the parents in this story. My heart goes out to them and I pray God’s mighty hand comforts them as they continue to trust Him through their grief and forgiveness journey.
God bless this beautiful family. God is ever so close to the broken hearted. 🙏🏾♥️
Are you saying you are an angel mom?…if so what is that?…and how do you know?
@@freshliving4199 yes I am. My daughter passed away 9yrs ago. I call myself an Angel Mom because she is still my daughter and I’m still her Mom, she’s just an Angel now.
So,you have 6 wings with a few hundred eyes on them and 4 faces a lion a ox a eagle and a man?
@@KeepHealingSis Humans don’t become angels when they die angels are spiritual beings
@@KeepHealingSis when we die and make it to heaven we will live and be happier than angels, angels are warriors of god not there to have,run they don’t need to be humans to be angels
As someone who has been in a psychiatric hospital 7 times so far this really struck a nerve for me. I have a younger sister who has a 7 year old daughter and 2 year old nephew and I love them so very much. I suffered for years from psychotic episodes before being officially diagnosed and I'll admit there were times when I had such horribly terrifying thoughts but I'd take that anger out on myself because there was no way I'd ever hurt anyone especially my loved ones. In my opinion, he clearly wasn't given the appropriate treatment for his mental health. How he was cleared and allowed back home upon the advice of these so called professionals is beyond me. I really believe this could have been avoided if he was put on the appropriate medication & ongoing psychiatric treatment. If I hadn't been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder on top of my other mental health issues as well as being put on antipsychotics, other medications, seeing my psychiatrist monthly & being admitted when needed to be I honestly don't think I'd still be here or somewhat able to cope during a psychotic episode!
Exactly, mental health services these days are terrible. not just underpaid or understaffed, undertrained. Sometimes I feel like they hire the least empathetic people for this job with how little they take seriously. I hope they investigated the services he was with as well because they are responsible for a big part of this situation
Liberalism is a dangerous mental illness. Hope you recover one day.
Hey, good on you for taking the responsible route
Hey Gabby ..God is able. Talk to him...pray and fast. it shall be well. In JN!
They should have kept him in a residential facility away from the young children, especially since he has mental illness.
She's taking comfort in the fact that although she has lost her 2 children. They're in a safe and happy place. My condolences to their family 👪 🙏🏾
That is what you call pain in that mother's voice and pain in that father's heart.
God help this family. Anyone who thinks forgiveness is easy has not been betrayed & harmed by those they loved & supported.
I know their pain. My son murdered my daughter. I’m praying for them
I pray God’s mighty hand comforts them as they continue to trust Him through their grief and forgiveness journey.
My cousin abused his little sister. He tried to do even worse things to her than just punching. She stayed at my home a lot because she did not feel safe at hers. She spent a lot of time locked up in her room. She got married at 15 to get away from him. It was horrible. He ended up on the streets addicted to drugs and alcohol. He died at 50. She ended up addicted as well and still is. She is 56. Her Mom should have thrown him out at 18 and tried to protect her. 😢
Wow. So very sad
Reading these comments is scary. This is so common and the perpetrators are always protected. For months I’ve been preparing myself to be able to kill my brother because I know he’s capable of/intending to kill my mum/me/siblings. It’s a horrible feeling
@@tontonbonnet7397 I wish I could help you
Why tf didn't you or your parents report such abuse?. I mean unless they lived in another country there is literally no excuse for not attempting to save your cousin.
@@controlman7490 How do you know there was no excuse based on 1 TH-cam comment? Sit down.
Let's keep Malik and this family in our prayers. Added to prayer list and prayer request, please 🙏🏽
Wow, you never know what someone is going through. Many prayers for this family.
I was going through an awful time myself in October. Didn’t think I’d get through it. It was nothing compared to what this family is facing. Wow
Nina, I know the feeling!
Hard times are like dark clouds. They come qyickly and are overwhelmingly heavy. But they do dissipate and the sun shines through again. Hope the sun warms your heart now🌞🥰
Your mental health still matters. Your feelings are not insignificant compared to the next. I hope you are doing better.💕
@@julieelizabeth510 💕
Growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia and struggling with mental illness. I can only imagine the pain this family is going through .....my prayers go out to them and All their children. My heart aches for your family.🙏💔
I broke down when she did. Having 2 young kids myself. I hope I never have to go through their heart break. I hope the family can heal xx
As a mom, I can’t fathom living a day without my daughters. That requires a measure of strength I hope to pray for here on Earth. I pray for their safety each and everyday.
You guys.. this is a spiritual battle. I hope you know that.
1,000,000,00% a dark spiritual battle. That young man needs delivered from demonic forces....in Jesus name!
It’s so beautiful that her number one hope for Malik is to experience salvation In Christ . And like momma said this is spiritual battle . We have to be careful calling everything mental illness . It seems sometime the Church seems to buy into it . We forgot what the Word of God says about the human heart /nature of humanity. Jer 17:19 That it’s desperately sick / deceitful wicked . That no man is good no not one . Roman 3:10-21 The mom seems really mature in Christ even tho she is definitely hurting and rightfully so. I pray that Malik becomes born again IN Jesus name 🙌🏽 the Lord remove his heart stone and get the heart of flesh .
Amen 💝
Amen 🙏
Mental illness is simply demons attacking people. Deliverance is important! I suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts and God delivered me from it. I pray that boy is delivered as we ell!
Truly as the Holy Spirit said we wrestle not against flesh and blood but rulers of darkness.
Amen
Jesus… I pray your comfort and strength for this family. I pray that Malik receive salvation and truly experiences freedom from torment and shame, in Jesus’ name!
You know, as a parent I think I would probably have abandoned that soul.
I am so sorry for your loss - you two parents, the grandparents, aunts, uncles, communities and the two remaining siblings whose stability in life is forever adrift.
Same
And I thought I was depressed about losing siblings years apart to cancer and auto accident. This is just incomprehensible! God bless these beautiful parents. And heal the sons mind. Don’t free him. Just heal
Ohh my darling so sorry it happened to you. I wilk pray for comfort for your heart. Don't compare your tragedy to anyone elses. You're allowed to feel the pain
Nah don't compare like that, your pain is just as valid.
This is very deep and spiritual...yes Salvation is the foundation
I send my sincere most deepest condolences.!!!!!! My heart goes out to you ,I am so sorry for your loss !!!!!!
Heart breaking can’t even imagine. My condolences.
Those lil kids eyes and faces are so beautiful. RIP lil angels 🙏❤
This is heart wrenching . I am speechless .
Prayers to this couple and to the two surviving children. I am humbled by their faith.
It’s sounds like a case a schizophrenia. I hate the devastation it causes. I recently lost a brother to mental illness, it was painful while he was here on earth, it is even more devastating painful he is no longer here on earth. I just hope he is with God.
My family also struggles with mental illness. My mom has schizophrenia and my brother is autistic. My sister is showing signs of schizophrenia. And I remind myself I don't have to deal with it. But who will?? It's something I'm trying to come to terms with. It's like a tug a war. I'm sorry you lost ur brother. Sometimes I wish they can just go, I wouldn't care but I don't mean it. They're still here. I just need to try to help. It's a mental strain. You just want to cry sometimes. Then you're just like why am I so weak? I have all the resources in my hands. 🙄😢🤕 I just relate to ur post. That I'm not alone.
@@maileevyne5000 definitely not alone. my brother and aunt have schizophrenia and i have seen these violent episodes i thought my parents were going to be killed and i could barely go to sleep. many of the family members who deal with mental illness are experiencing mental anguish too.
If it was suicide than no he’s not
God is merciful. He knows our struggles. God has Him 🙏🏾♥️
It isn't safe to live with family members with schizophrenia at all! I would never do it. They will kill family.
