For the ones feeling bad about Phillips (the first kid), don’t. They didn’t give even close to the full story of what really happened. He not only hid her under his bed, he did it for 6 days, duck taping the corners so the smell wouldn’t come out. He was known to make sexual remarks to the victim and her older sister, when Maddie was found, her lower half was uncovered. Phillip claims he hit her with a bat then put her under his bed; when he heard her still alive he dragged her out of the bed, slit her throat, and stabbed her 7 times before putting her right back under the bed. He also joined the search party to help look for her. It came out that he most likely lied about his father, the bat had no blood on it indicating he just stabbed her to death and it wasn’t to “keep her from crying” like he claimed. He also claimed her lower half became uncovered from dragging her out of the backyard, no dirt or anything was found on her. His story was full of holes.
I was going to say the same thing about not all of the story being told, I listen to Morbid: A True Crime Podcast and they covered this case in much more detail. Such a horrible and sad story.
@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 "I can not hate or harm a child." I can. I know from firsthand experience, as someone who was bullied in school and even kindergarten, that kids can be absolute pieces of shit. We're not just "potraying" him as evil. He's just evil. You have to face that possibility.
I'm not going to go into details here, but after reading into it I was appalled at the brutality of it, and Bulger seemed to even be sexuality assaulted as well.
The Eric Smith case is 100% parental neglect. Eric Smith went to his parents and told them he had a feelings of anger. And he didn’t understand why. His parents told him to go outside and punch a tree. He would punch the tree until his hands were bloody. He snapped. He asked for help because he didn’t understand the feelings inside him and his parents completely ignored them!
Try the case of Jon Venables and John Thompson, guys. Two ten year old boys from Liverpool who brutally tortured and murdered a 2 year old boy named James Bulger. It's a horrific case
@@DuskPShermanWallaby123 yeah, shame. Thompson at least was remorseful as an adult or so I heard. Sadly, nothing can give little Jamie's family him back
There was another case here in the UK, that involved two young boys who took a younger boy from a shopping mall and killed him. They too were granted anonymity, new names and various other "safe guards" upon their release from juvenile detention. One went on to carry out further abuse, and even then he was granted anonymity. There was massive uproar that these two had their names etc protected and changed to protect them. Disgusting. The parents of the young boy killed have had to live with years of news reports of hiw the government protect the identities of these two killers.
Childhood innocence is viewed as pure, precious, and ultimately good. When you think about it, though, such innocence can account for a lack of distinction between "right/good and wrong/evil," which is why children can often be quite cruel. Edit: Also, since her release, Mary Bell has had a daughter & granddaughter and hasn't committed any other crimes. She still retains anonymity to protect said progeny so they can lead normal lives. Food for thought.
"Is it fair to send a kid to prison for the rest of their lives for something they did at 10, 12, 13 years old? I don't think so." I usually love Sharon but tell that to James Bulger who was tortured and murdered on a train track by two 10 year olds when he was only 2 years old himself. Yes, it absolutely is fair because Jon Venables and Robert Thompson have shown no remorse for their actions in their adult life so those little bastards knew very fucking well what they were doing.
I completely agree with this, however when they were sentenced no one, including the judge, was to know whether they would ever feel remorseful or not? I don’t think life without parole should be the sentence for children however I also dont believe they should subsequently be paroled if it’s clear they haven’t been rehabilitated.
It pisses me off when people say "ohh they're just kids, they didn't know what they were doing" like bruh a kid who's been living on earth for more than 10 years knows the difference between right and wrong.
There is no one answer for this. Every case is situational, and should undergo extensive evaluation. What does the child understand? Do they have a conscience? Behavioral tendencies. What tools do they have at their disposal, which becomes important in recognizing what they lack or if they know what proper usage is. Many factors. Rather than thinking, "Is it fair?", one should be thinking about what is necessary. Anytime someone gets into the whole "Who deserves what?", certain personal biases tend to get involved. The justice system shouldn't operate on the premises of what one deserves. It should be more about what's necessary.
@@controlman7490 disagree. Children develop at a different rate. Some develop faster, and some slower. They may have some concept, but not completely.

oh no that case was horrifying.. I seriously hope and wish for women in the future to not have to go through anything like that at all.. men, women, children, people, animals anything and anyone.. cause that seriously traumatised me. That case is just too much.
Child killers are a tough thing because the part of the brain that controls impulse and understanding of actions doesn't fully develop until age 25, so I often wonder how many of these children are actually psychopaths versus children who just haven't had the chance to fully form. It's a terrible situation all around
The second kid, Eric, apparently had anger/mental health issues and he was attending a summer camp and had gotten kicked out and while he was walking back to his house came across the 4 year old boy walking to the summer camp. Eric's dad had told him that when he was angry he should take his anger out by punching things, it just so happened that the poor little 4 year old boy was at the wrong place at the wrong time,
@@EnduroDreaming Is it an excuse if their actions were inexcusable? The explanation changes nothing. They are still a horrible murderer. It won't change how I feel about this, but I enjoy gaining context.
The first story I feel like it didn’t give much background to them because he didn’t just did it out of panic because he stalked that little girls sister who was still younger than him. He was not allowed to talk to neither of the girls because he had done many grotesque things to them. So it wasn’t just he was young and panic he was doing messed up stuff before
I worked in a state prison for 26 years. Once, I was talking to two guys about one of their buddies who had been 15 when he fell for life. I commented that he might be eligible to get out since juvenile life sentences were deemed unconstitutional. They told me that he was one that should not be let out. When I asked them why, they said, "Look at his eyes."
the boy in the second case at 5:00 was recently paroled after serving 28 years. i understand that the prison system is crowded, but i have the strong belief that if you've spent more time in prison than on the outside, you should either stay in prison or live in a prison-like facility. for example here in Kingston ON, we have a low security prison for elders and people in for life who are no longer violent, and its their own small community. they have houses and sidewalks, they get taken on day trips to grocery stores. its the safest for everyone, they're serving their sentences, but they're not forced to spend their entire lives in a 48sq ft room.
@Vegeta Go nah when I was 12 I knew exactly what I was doing I didn't need some adult to guide me mentally, dont give excuses cause these children couldve easily grown up to be serial killers.
I don't know how to feel about this. I try repeatedly to get back into the channel but it's not how it used to be. It looks like there were minimal editing done to it and compared to earlier ones, the video lengths are one-quarter of the time. For these true crimes, I feel like they could have been better researched. The videos honestly were not that great of a simplification of the cases. For example, the Mary Bell case. They only added Mary Bell's brain injuries at the hands of her mother. It failed to mention the fact that the reason they suspected Mary was not because of the investigation but because of her sudden outbursts of aggression that results in strangling kids often in the neighborhood. Additionally, the reason she was linked to the murders was that the second had a witness and she draw the first in her notebook before they release the details of the scene in the newspaper.
Yeah, this channel started going down hill in like 2018, but ever since covid started this channel has just completely lost all quality. This is my first time watching here in months and I probably wont come back.
When I hear awful childhoods story's like Mary Bell's. I always wonder what kind of person the child had become if the child had a loving upbringing. They're (child killers with a horrific childhood) deserves psychiatric care and deep rehabilitation. Their parent's deserves prison time, their parents should be held accountable.
As a fellow parent, I'm happy that one of you points out how horrified the parents of these children are... Or any murderer, for that matter. You think you did right, you try your best, but some people are just broken. To feel that guilt and regret must be agonizing. The mother of one of the columbine shooters has made it her life goal to educate on how to see signs, and not just dismiss things as some edgy phase your kid is going through. Props to that woman.
There is supposedly more to the story than the few things that get regurgitated again and again in these types of videos. I'd recommend you watch a more in depth video about the case if you're interested. Eleanor Neale did a good one.
I feel like the real reason why it's hard to think if someone should be given parole is because the prison system fails at rehabilitation in the most important and consistent ways
Since her release, Mary Bell has had a daughter & granddaughter and hasn't committed any other crimes. She still retains anonymity to protect said progeny so they can lead normal lives.
"You look at their eyes." This part. My mother had several students who she could just look at and *know* they were going to be killers one day. While they didn't do anything when she had them in school, later on...she turned out to be right about 3 of them. Two were arrested prior to committing the acts. One was imprisoned after killing someone. I look into people's eyes. I see what she could see. It's so true. It's absolutely chilling.
they're doll-like. it's the only way i can describe it. they just aren't human anymore. but they could have always been like that too. they say the eyes are the windows for the soul. we're just seeing that they don't have one
Bro kids r literally no different from adults when it comes to curiosity h8 anger and mental health. I believe it's blood line problems and bad homes and just being exposed to the wrong shit. It's weird but sad
Exactly. Crime is always a product of the environment. Whether it's the external influences around them or something wrong with their brain chemistry on the inside.
I’m from the town where Derrick smith did this and he has just been granted parole. My town is going crazy, as they should. He is not allowed to come back to Savona
I am surprised you didn't do the James Buldger case. And Terry Venables has been released from prison in the early 2000s. He was then done for child ponography amongst other things and is now not allowed future parole. Both him and his counterpart were released with new identities but the other bloke hasn't committed.any other crimes.
I think with the mary bell case the brain damage is the key there. I think thats why she got the anonymity is because she was brain damaged and they were able to treat that. If there's a medical basis for a child doing something like this that can be treated then i believe the course of action shouldn't be a lifetime of prison. It should be imprisoning until they reach adulthood and reassessing the child's medical issue, treatment, and their fitness for release. A child should not be given life imprisonment unless it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they are too mentally unstable to ever be safe for society.
@@celine9322 brain damage doesn't really go away but if given the proper care it can be managed to the point of being a non issue depending on the severity.
If you guys are planning on continuing this segment on Children Murderers one that became so famous it turned into a movie was a murder in New Zealand that happened along time ago. The movie is called Heavenly Creatures and its a 1994 film based off a murder that two teenage girls named Pauline Parker & Juliet Hulme acted out upon I believe Pauline Parkers mother back in 1954 might be worth looking into
Wait, you guys didn't cover a boy in japan who beheaded another boy and put his head on the gate of the school. That was gruesome. And another japanese girl who slashed her classmates throat.
In 18:19, Ryan put that question into a very sensible answer. It takes that one in a few million perfect balances of both nature and nurture to just snap, and create a murderer. Even a child.
This just got alot more real now that Eric Smith was granted parole and is now on the streets with us. it now begs the question, who will be his next victim.
It has nothing to do with parents, look at Bundy's case. Also, if a child develops psychopathic tendencies at infancy, it's hard for them to change. When psychiatrist determine that they have become "cured" and they let them go, they usually go back to those tendencies specially IF they stop taking meds. Sad but heard tons of cases on Explore With Us and Stories
It depends honestly. There are situations where it started with the parents treatment, and others start just because the child is that way to begin with. Then you have some incidents that were unintentional. During the first one I thought the little girl was going to die from head trauma from the ball but nope the way she went out ended up being worse.. .
That first kid, it wasn't even the fact that he wasn't allowed to have company over. He was specifically told that that girl was definitely not allowed over. These kids are just... -.- smh
@@isayweirdshityk She was an 8 year old girl who was savagely stabbed to death by her neighbor, 14 year old Joshua Philips in 1998 because he claimed he didn’t want her to tell his father he accidentally hit her in the head with a baseball.
In a lot of cases with children it makes you wonder what they would have give on to do as adults if they had gotten away with it. Probably saved more lives having them locked up.
The i hate mondays kid was just pure insane. It wasnt even a school shooting. She was sitting through her window, SNIPING little kids with a rifle. If she showed up at the school they might have been able to handle her. But jeez such a monster
5:10 bless this man for having that kind of optimism, but that boy (now man) has been in prison for his entire life and has no idea what society even looks like let alone how to function in it. He went to prison for murder and has been around thugs and murderers his entire life. He should not be released ever because he will never be able to properly function and will end up hurting more people.
these are kids, they shoudnt go to help. they need rehab. keep in mind that their brain and systems they are still developing, they need help. look at Japan they had same issues bak in 1997 and yet they managed to help kids that had were murderers. they need to know why its wrong and why its right.
Being Norwegian, I find this really hard to watch. Being raised by aggressive narcissistic parents has consequences. Empathy is taught. It shouldn’t be so difficult for healthy adults to see that the look in the eyes of these children with “no soul”, is disassociation. How far do you actually think you have to push a child before they snap? Either from having their basic human needs removed from an early age. And as often showed severe bullying. No young child should ever have to spend the rest of their life in prison for murder. A child like that has been failed by the people around them. And sending them to prison instead of giving them treatment is a pretty disgusting way to fail them, and others again. There’s a reason America has such a high recidivism rate. Not even children are given a humane chance at learning emotions they weren’t taught. Many of them seeing only abuses and neglect. The American prison model is heartless. Worst of all it’s heartless and inefficient for the safety of people the former prisoners will run into, after not learning the abilities needed to become a part of society again. You have psychiatric evaluation, but no genuine effort is ever made for psychiatric treatment. No learning respect for others, seeing empathy on a daily basis, basic care. Punishment is the most important thing. It made me happy at least seeing Sharon questioning if it’s wrong sending a child to prison for life.
As an American I agree with most of what u said about the our prison system. Unfortunately our country doesn’t care about well being more than they do about making money, and here in America, high number of prisoners means money. As long as it stays that way we won’t change much when it comes to morals.
Obviously the people reacting in this video are just regular people and not experts on anything on this topic. But I also found an issue with the comments about how they are just bad seeds and you can see a soulless look in their eyes. There is no such thing as a soulless look, that is a figurative construct and should not be applied to the state of a child. I think that was the look of a child who had no idea or understanding of what anything around him truly meant and the ramifications of his actions.
Eric Smith (the redhead one) was actually granted parole in October 2021. He was supposed to be released Nov 17th or 2021but since he didn't have an 'approved residence" at that time, his released was delayed. He was ultimately released February 1st 2022.
My Mama always said that a person's eyes are a window into their soul. I watch a lot of true crime & I can say that this is %1000 true. Killers/criminals who feel no remorse have blank, empty, soulless eyes. Except Charlie Manson. His eyes screamed bat-shit crazy & no remorse.
If you actually look up the case, he kept her under that bed for days, duck taping the corners so the smell didn’t come out. Her lower body was undressed, and he claimed it was from dragging her. (How did her underwear come off too then?) He hit her with a bat to get her to stop crying and hid her under his bed. When he heard she was still alive, he slit her throat and stabbed her 7 times. Phillips even joined the search party to look for her, he’s an evil pos and I’m glad he got denied his appeals. It also came out that he probably lied about his father, the bat had no blood on it indicating he probably just stabbed her multiple times, and there was no dirt to indicate she was dragged. His story had so many holes in it.
@Aurea Garibay it’s about a 2 year old boy named James bulgur who was abducted,tortured and murdered by two 10 year old boys named Robert Thompson and Jon Venables
Mary Bell was rehabilitated & went on to have a family. Her identity was revealed when a book was written about her & she had to relocate. Apparently she is very well liked.
My dad’s colleague’s family were prison guards and her dad was the head of a prison. Killers who were children (ages 4-17) were kept in a separate wing (about 200 beds) and those whose families were either well connected or very rich had their cases hushed up. By my country’s laws those who commit murder under the age of 18 can only be detained at the pleasure of the King-once they are 18, their cases are reviewed and they are then either released or put into regular prison or sent to a psychiatric hospital for further treatment/evaluation. What is really disturbing is that wing was almost full but we only know of a handful of cases..
Something like this is the movie “the women across the street from the girl in the window” it’s actually really interesting because (spoiler alert) the murderer was the little 10 year old girl, while she was the one everyone was trying to protect the whole time, simply because she was a child. Nobody even suspected her, or would have thought a child would be a killer. But she ended up being the killer, so I found that a huge plot twist and really interesting.
The cadence of the narrator in the first story is off, the person sounds like they should be doing the closing comment on a Dhar Mann video, not talking about murder
What should we react to next? Let us know in the comments!

1:01 I blame the parents. Cause and effect. Actions have consequences
The first kid didn't want to get in trouble so he... committed murder. I get he panicked, but damn.
committing murder or parental punishment. you’d think a normal 14 year old boy would know right from wrong. he’s messed uppp.
There is supposedly more to the story than the few things that get regurgitated again and again in these types of videos. I'd recommend you watch a more in depth video about the case if you're interested. Eleanor Neale did a good one.
There's more to the story than that
I can't believe they didn't cover the James Bulger case. That was really horrifying.
I feel like the real reason why it's hard to think if someone should be given parole is because the prison system fails at rehabilitation in the most important and consistent ways
You are larry lawton guy?
IF A CHILD IS ABLE TO PLAN OUT A MURDER AND THEN HIDE IT IN SOMEWAY THEY ARE PSYCHOPATHIC FOR SURE KEEP THEM LOCKED UP.
the last one is scary, the fact thats she's out there somewhere in da world. maybe she lives next door to you...😬
Since her release, Mary Bell has had a daughter & granddaughter and hasn't committed any other crimes. She still retains anonymity to protect said progeny so they can lead normal lives.
"You look at their eyes." This part. My mother had several students who she could just look at and *know* they were going to be killers one day. While they didn't do anything when she had them in school, later on...she turned out to be right about 3 of them. Two were arrested prior to committing the acts. One was imprisoned after killing someone. I look into people's eyes. I see what she could see. It's so true. It's absolutely chilling.
they're doll-like. it's the only way i can describe it. they just aren't human anymore. but they could have always been like that too. they say the eyes are the windows for the soul. we're just seeing that they don't have one
Bro kids r literally no different from adults when it comes to curiosity h8 anger and mental health. I believe it's blood line problems and bad homes and just being exposed to the wrong shit. It's weird but sad
i totally agree, sad world
Exactly. Crime is always a product of the environment. Whether it's the external influences around them or something wrong with their brain chemistry on the inside.
They have underdeveloped brains... Which is why they are given a chance for parole at some point...
React to ESC 2021, then Maneskin's album Teatro d'ira!
did not intend on crying this early in the morning but here we are. those poor victims and their families. Rest in Love to those beautiful souls 🖤
I’m like are u kidding me, Where is the ESC 2021 reaction 😢 almost a month ago 📆
ESC 2021 PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a therapist so in a short answer there's really no good way to answer this question.
That’s the smartest answer I’ve read in a while.
"You can look in their eyes and you can just tell" ....what a dangerous mindset.
You can actually.
Many of these deranged people have that dead look because they lack the emotion and empathy.
It all depends on the situation. Nature and nurture both affect things. Sometimes one more then the other.
I’m from the town where Derrick smith did this and he has just been granted parole. My town is going crazy, as they should. He is not allowed to come back to Savona
I am surprised you didn't do the James Buldger case.
And Terry Venables has been released from prison in the early 2000s. He was then done for child ponography amongst other things and is now not allowed future parole. Both him and his counterpart were released with new identities but the other bloke hasn't committed.any other crimes.
Terry?
Please make more of these type of react videos!!
I really liked the questions and the whole reflection of the man in the leather jacket
I think with the mary bell case the brain damage is the key there. I think thats why she got the anonymity is because she was brain damaged and they were able to treat that. If there's a medical basis for a child doing something like this that can be treated then i believe the course of action shouldn't be a lifetime of prison. It should be imprisoning until they reach adulthood and reassessing the child's medical issue, treatment, and their fitness for release. A child should not be given life imprisonment unless it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they are too mentally unstable to ever be safe for society.
So she’s no longer brain damaged?
@@celine9322 brain damage doesn't really go away but if given the proper care it can be managed to the point of being a non issue depending on the severity.
Surprise you didn't include Thompson and Venables for the UK one instead as it is more recent. Two 10 year olds who murdered a 2 year ago.
I was thinking that would be on here as well
Right?? i was expecting those two would be mention here
That’s what I was thinking
Yeah, that case definatly should have been mentioned. It was probably one of the worst murders in UK history. That poor wee baby boy..
If you guys are planning on continuing this segment on Children Murderers one that became so famous it turned into a movie was a murder in New Zealand that happened along time ago. The movie is called Heavenly Creatures and its a 1994 film based off a murder that two teenage girls named Pauline Parker & Juliet Hulme acted out upon I believe Pauline Parkers mother back in 1954 might be worth looking into
Wait, you guys didn't cover a boy in japan who beheaded another boy and put his head on the gate of the school. That was gruesome. And another japanese girl who slashed her classmates throat.
I hope they do that in part 2, i mean react to those cases not commiting the same crime 😭
Do you know the names? I wanna look it up.
@@savanahgarcia3565 same
I think they might be doing in American murders but I haven't finished the video
Nevada-Tan
In 18:19, Ryan put that question into a very sensible answer. It takes that one in a few million perfect balances of both nature and nurture to just snap, and create a murderer. Even a child.
This just got alot more real now that Eric Smith was granted parole and is now on the streets with us. it now begs the question, who will be his next victim.
Not going to lie, wished they showed the disturbing letters Mary Bell left at the crime scene. Now that would've given a reaction.
ESC 2021 😭
Update: In October 2021 Eric Smith was granted Parole and was officially released in February of 2022. He was officially incarcerated for 27 years.
Should not ever be let out man.
How about adults reacting to the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case, and their thoughts on the punishment Gypsy and Nick got.
It's sad that we live in a world like this honestly
WHERE IS ESC!!!
It has nothing to do with parents, look at Bundy's case. Also, if a child develops psychopathic tendencies at infancy, it's hard for them to change. When psychiatrist determine that they have become "cured" and they let them go, they usually go back to those tendencies specially IF they stop taking meds. Sad but heard tons of cases on Explore With Us and Stories
It all starts with the parents.
@@fevvi not all the time. Like I said, even if the parents teach them the right way, it's all in the child's head
It depends honestly. There are situations where it started with the parents treatment, and others start just because the child is that way to begin with. Then you have some incidents that were unintentional. During the first one I thought the little girl was going to die from head trauma from the ball but nope the way she went out ended up being worse.. .
That first kid, it wasn't even the fact that he wasn't allowed to have company over. He was specifically told that that girl was definitely not allowed over. These kids are just... -.- smh
One of my friends who watched that case said that he thinks Josh molested Maddie, though I'm not sure if that was ever proven.
You guys should have a series of this! It would be great.
trial case of menendez brothers might get reopen , it went viral on tiktok
I researched the Maddie Clifton case it was so heartbreaking she had so much ahead of her
Who is she
@@isayweirdshityk She was an 8 year old girl who was savagely stabbed to death by her neighbor, 14 year old Joshua Philips in 1998 because he claimed he didn’t want her to tell his father he accidentally hit her in the head with a baseball.
@@isayweirdshitykThe girl from the first case in this video
In a lot of cases with children it makes you wonder what they would have give on to do as adults if they had gotten away with it. Probably saved more lives having them locked up.
I find it odd how you never used the James Bulger case or the "I hate mondays" girl.
The i hate mondays kid was just pure insane. It wasnt even a school shooting. She was sitting through her window, SNIPING little kids with a rifle. If she showed up at the school they might have been able to handle her. But jeez such a monster
YOU SHOULD DO A VID OF PARENTS REACTING TO CHILDREN WHO MURDERED THEIR PARENTS
This is a strong episode. I mean, it makes a lot of questions and interesting conversations.
where is the ESC 21 vid?! I´ve been waiting for ages.....help
I'm sure most of the people here subscribed just for that video. And they let us down
Crazy to think that red headed kid is not only a free man but was engaged when he left prison.
What about the 215 native children found in BC Canada? As a native, I would most appreciate the awareness~
Mary Bell was also granted anonymity for her children and grandchildren as well, first time
When Sharon broke with "That poor mom" I'm not used to seeing her near tears. 😪
I would love to see an update on this now that Eric is out on parole.
5:10 bless this man for having that kind of optimism, but that boy (now man) has been in prison for his entire life and has no idea what society even looks like let alone how to function in it. He went to prison for murder and has been around thugs and murderers his entire life. He should not be released ever because he will never be able to properly function and will end up hurting more people.
When did their content get better? Aslo I wonder when they get back 2 react gaming? I miss that.
these are kids, they shoudnt go to help. they need rehab. keep in mind that their brain and systems they are still developing, they need help. look at Japan they had same issues bak in 1997 and yet they managed to help kids that had were murderers. they need to know why its wrong and why its right.
Yeah that’s easy until it’s your kid
That was a great esc 2021 reaction video. See u next year
Why is no one talking about the fact that Mary bell looks like the sociopath from dr.Phil?!?!?!
Would love a video about more unknown serial killers, for example, the wòman who murdered hundreds of babies in the 1880s.
make your hole european fanbase happy and react to ESC 2021. Please !
Being Norwegian, I find this really hard to watch.
Being raised by aggressive narcissistic parents has consequences. Empathy is taught. It shouldn’t be so difficult for healthy adults to see that the look in the eyes of these children with “no soul”, is disassociation.
How far do you actually think you have to push a child before they snap? Either from having their basic human needs removed from an early age. And as often showed severe bullying.
No young child should ever have to spend the rest of their life in prison for murder. A child like that has been failed by the people around them. And sending them to prison instead of giving them treatment is a pretty disgusting way to fail them, and others again.
There’s a reason America has such a high recidivism rate. Not even children are given a humane chance at learning emotions they weren’t taught.
Many of them seeing only abuses and neglect.
The American prison model is heartless. Worst of all it’s heartless and inefficient for the safety of people the former prisoners will run into, after not learning the abilities needed to become a part of society again.
You have psychiatric evaluation, but no genuine effort is ever made for psychiatric treatment. No learning respect for others, seeing empathy on a daily basis, basic care. Punishment is the most important thing.
It made me happy at least seeing Sharon questioning if it’s wrong sending a child to prison for life.
As an American I agree with most of what u said about the our prison system. Unfortunately our country doesn’t care about well being more than they do about making money, and here in America, high number of prisoners means money. As long as it stays that way we won’t change much when it comes to morals.
Obviously the people reacting in this video are just regular people and not experts on anything on this topic. But I also found an issue with the comments about how they are just bad seeds and you can see a soulless look in their eyes. There is no such thing as a soulless look, that is a figurative construct and should not be applied to the state of a child. I think that was the look of a child who had no idea or understanding of what anything around him truly meant and the ramifications of his actions.
Mary Bells mom also used to sell Mary to her clients. Social services should have removed her long before this happened
The first murder was not explained well. It was definitely premeditated murder
ESC 2021 plz
I don't even know if they're quite allowed to have it on their channel
Eric Smith (the redhead one) was actually granted parole in October 2021. He was supposed to be released Nov 17th or 2021but since he didn't have an 'approved residence" at that time, his released was delayed. He was ultimately released February 1st 2022.
My Mama always said that a person's eyes are a window into their soul. I watch a lot of true crime & I can say that this is %1000 true. Killers/criminals who feel no remorse have blank, empty, soulless eyes. Except Charlie Manson. His eyes screamed bat-shit crazy & no remorse.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about Jon Venables and Robert Thompson.
ESC 2021, C'MON
My God this is so heart-wrenching.
I don't think it was fair that first child was sentenced to life... but I guess I only know a portion of what happened.
If you actually look up the case, he kept her under that bed for days, duck taping the corners so the smell didn’t come out. Her lower body was undressed, and he claimed it was from dragging her. (How did her underwear come off too then?) He hit her with a bat to get her to stop crying and hid her under his bed. When he heard she was still alive, he slit her throat and stabbed her 7 times. Phillips even joined the search party to look for her, he’s an evil pos and I’m glad he got denied his appeals. It also came out that he probably lied about his father, the bat had no blood on it indicating he probably just stabbed her multiple times, and there was no dirt to indicate she was dragged. His story had so many holes in it.
Imagine adults thinking it's because of violent videogames and they're may lived before violent videogames were invented
Add to the fact that violent video games and films are available all over the world.
If you do this again, I think you should show them the James Bulger case. That was honestly just sickening.
@Aurea Garibay it’s about a 2 year old boy named James bulgur who was abducted,tortured and murdered by two 10 year old boys named Robert Thompson and Jon Venables
@Aurea Garibay if you want more info search on TH-cam savannah Brymer she does a lot of true crime stories look for the James bulger case
3:15 that one kid from the Magic school bus

@@Kairo_Banks yup, he finally snapped since every field trip he said "not another field trip" 😂
He should of stayed home

Mary Bell was rehabilitated & went on to have a family. Her identity was revealed when a book was written about her & she had to relocate. Apparently she is very well liked.
@Ruth Foley I would never trust her If she lived near me. Jeez.
@@zaynes5094 You wouldn't have known.
I was worried when I thought the video would read "Adults React to Children Who Committed Suicide" when it popped up on my notifications.
Im just gonna give up on esc 2021
My dad’s colleague’s family were prison guards and her dad was the head of a prison. Killers who were children (ages 4-17) were kept in a separate wing (about 200 beds) and those whose families were either well connected or very rich had their cases hushed up. By my country’s laws those who commit murder under the age of 18 can only be detained at the pleasure of the King-once they are 18, their cases are reviewed and they are then either released or put into regular prison or sent to a psychiatric hospital for further treatment/evaluation. What is really disturbing is that wing was almost full but we only know of a handful of cases..
They should see the one that happed in WV about two girls trying to murder their friend because they didn’t want to be friends anymore
i feel so terrible for the parents that raised their child with love and still they turned out this wau
guys i don't think we're getting an esc 2021 video
Unfortunately not🥲
Don't give up I won't give up don't give up.... Nonononk
Something like this is the movie “the women across the street from the girl in the window” it’s actually really interesting because (spoiler alert) the murderer was the little 10 year old girl, while she was the one everyone was trying to protect the whole time, simply because she was a child. Nobody even suspected her, or would have thought a child would be a killer. But she ended up being the killer, so I found that a huge plot twist and really interesting.
The cadence of the narrator in the first story is off, the person sounds like they should be doing the closing comment on a Dhar Mann video, not talking about murder
This is spot on🤣
Sometimes, there are kids who are just plain evil regardless of upbringing.
Eric Smith (the red headed boy) has recently been released.
Wait really 😳?!
@@depression.7080 Yep really. Just a few days to a week ago.
