I agree with you totally where was dad when all this was going on ..i know my divorce experience isn't like all cases but it is like most my exwife and me were ALWAYS in communication when it came to our children if one of my kids as much as scraped a knee when they were in her care I expected to hear about it so something like this why was dad involved
Doesn't seem like the bio dad was around or did anything to help the mom and step dad out with daniel. He was a distant father. This poor woman. No mom wants to admit their child has issues and she was doing what she thought was right. I don't blame her one bit. Sure things shoyld have been done but we can say that now after the fact but I don't think anyone saw this coming. Im sure daniel regrets his actions everyday and it's something he has to live with forever. Such a tragedy. My heart thoughts and prayers go out to the youngest son and Simon. I don't know how they get through day to day tasks. God bless them!
How did this woman not know that there was something VERY wrong with her son? If my 11 year old was urinating and defacating on their things and in their room I'd have them at the doctor's office in a heartbeat.
Valken She was neglectful but he was a nut and woulda been that antisocial weirdo we see at a hospital cleaning the restrooms and smiling and giggling to himself, then retreating to the empty lonely basement where he felt comfortable...we see/interact with these people everyday and write them off as strange
It's terrible that she died but she did nothing to help the situation. He already had issues but was clearly crying out to help and she didn't take him seriously. Even the step-father was aware that he had issues. Everyone likes to think their children are little angels but the fact of the matter is that they are their own people. They can be bad. She was in denial and it cost her.
i feel so bad for the younger brother. this poor kid witnessed his older brother bashing his moms head in and setting the house on fire and lying about it too. imagine her screams and the little brother had to hear that. the poor baby
@Kelly Day I agree, I don't believe these people are made, I believe they're born that way, otherwise their siblings would all be the same. All of us are capable of killing if we needed to, but to want or need to for enjoyment has got to be a naturally occiring brain wiring problem.
@@shirleyhunter3462 I actually read it as the dad bouncing , not wanting the kid or not having time for him as he lived his new life free of his kids. He bought him an expensive computer right? That's a guilty purchase if I've ever heard of one. He was also refusing to pay for his schooling. A lot of mom's will shield their children from the fact that dad doesn't want them anymore. Notice how the dad's face was blurred out of the documentary? He doesn't take responsibility for what's happened.
He crapped and peed in his toy bins. End of discussion. He was unwell, regardless of whether he really heard voices or not. When you add all of it together, it's Adam Lanza and his mother all over again. I guess we can all take a breath and be relieved that he stopped after only killing his mother, but I think this is a real warning to all parents who make excuses for their child's odd behaviors instead of taking them seriously.
Did y’all know that something like 95% schizophrenics were severely sexually abused as children? This kid shows all of the signs of a child that was severely sexually abused.
''with a 16 year sentence to serve, his story is now over'' Except it's not...He'll be out by 30. He was already callous and psycho before spending his teen and young adult years in prison. He'll get released and become a serial killer.
16 years for murder??? You've got to be kidding. He's just getting the best criminal education available and will bring it out the unsuspecting public. Wow.
Sana it's a minimum of 16years. This psycho is bound to step out of line when his in jail IMO so hopefully he won't see the light of a free day any time soon.
Girl101 Yes, from what Simon told us about him standing angrily over her she probably was scared of him, and that's why Simon was the one cleaning his room. They could most likely smell it, and decided something had to be done.
So the terrible trauma he experienced was having to move house, a new school and his parents splitting up? So he killed his mother. What would he have done had he experienced real trauma like physical, sexual and emotional abuse, poverty and true neglect.
I think mom had favorites,,most get over it. ,yet he didn't. Just because you have more kids from a new husband ,you shouldn't ignore your frist kids. There was red flags.
@@jennjeffs4893 I agree. When parents split up , children are so delicate emotionally; they blame themselves. If you dont sit them down and actually talk from the heart to them you will have big problems. I feel like he felt like he had lost everything and no one understood. I'm sorry his poor mother died but I can't help feeling empathy for this lad too.
My mother was a malignant narcassist when she was alive and yet I'm not a serial killing psychopath. Yes some mother's are horrid but we have the choice to overcome it
Having the choice to overcome repulsive urges is irrelevant if they’re not repulsive to the individual. The tendency of most people is to judge atrocious acts as if they were committing them themselves. This is a malformed approach. There’s a lot of politics in discussion of mental illness and this so called expert is no exception.
i find that ppl feel a type of shame..about mental health problems..like his mother not wanting it to get out. if you're child is acting this way that raises reg flags.. its best to get help as soon as you can.
Not as easy as that. In the uk it can take over 10 years for you to get help from social services for out of controll behavior. Schools need to refer the child for this help which goes to your drs which then goes to a pediatrician and so on and so on. Its an endless system of BS and 9/10 the child is never seen and becomes a violent offender. Also this was early 2000s its now 2019 and only now are we starting to take away the shame and talk about mental illness. Back then this wouldnt have even been mentioned
Y even bring the father up when it's all about the mom and son obviously.are we gonna say he was really mad at the dad but took it on on the mom cause she was there.people will always nit pick about something
@@LunaRose1312 I agree. I have a personality disorder myself and there really things that are beyond my control. Like blacking out, walking out of a discussion because I was having a panic attack/flashbacks, dissociating, etc... Although throughout the years, it's gotten a bit better. it's even harder for those who have 0 awareness about their illness--they're basically in the dark...no awareness of the interventions that can be done to keep the symptoms under control.
@@levicrossdechantel I've suffered black rages my entire life sometimes I wish I had been in control but that's not how a personality disorder works, goodluck to you
They keep saying good mother, loving family, but I only see a parent who gave the kid things, but did not give the child any boundaries or emotional support.
Tailored Effect , think you just hit the nail on the head my friend . She didn't care and was probably resentful to the lad as he reminded him of her ex husband . Either way this kid was let down .
Yes, don't you love how it's always the mother's fault! Never mind that he's a psychopath, never mind that his dad was obviously very absent in his child's life ... nope, it's the mother's fault!
I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: Ladies (and gentlemen), your first priority after divorce should be your children. Your love life can wait.
people need to stop blaming anyone here... the blame is the divorce.. you have NO IDEA what impact that can have on a kid when they are at the age of finding thier identity and who they are and what is what... divorces need to happen b4 kids are 4 years old,.. after that.. its to traumatic... and its the same old thing... parents get divorced.. mum meets new guy.. new guy tries to play dad.. mum gives more attention to new guy.... seen it OVER AND OVER AGAIN... this really messes with kids head and personality, so please stop saying "he was just a syco.. as he was fine till they divorced..
There’s not much in this documentary about the parents and I don’t find the case interesting enough to go digging. It certainly trauma is a big player in this case. The second partner gives me the impression the divorce situation was more complicated than implied in the documentary
@@davidanthony4960 "the blame is the divorce". Some couples live absolutely miserable lives. Are you saying that the miserable lives they live are always better for the kids than a divorce?
There's so much finger pointing at the mother in spite of everything the professionals are saying this documentary is so slanted. The way it's filmed is so sensationalized and melodramatic.
This channel tends to present very over-produced, skewed and sensationalized content. The stories are interesting, I just wish they'd reevaluate their approach.
The part where it says that horror movies triggered fear excitement no it triggered fight as he was predatory not prey.. In different natures, different responses are triggered. In a person that's not predatory it would be more likely trigger fear as a prey response as they would recognise themselves as the victim not the main horror character which is what he will have identified with
i'm floored by the fact that the dude just assumes this kid was too lazy to go to the bathroom, like that's a normal adolescent thing to do, and "taking him to task" will sort it out. how in the world did these two ignore the obvious and severe signs of mental illness in this child for so long?
It's funny how they never consider that serial killers can also come from families that spoil them rotten. Too much love and permissiveness is just as harmful as none at all. It´s not only abuse that makes a killer, it´s not being able to say no, ever, and letting him get his way. The first NO triggers so much rage, they can´t accept it and become violent.
Good point yes I agree, depending on the person s nature "anyone" can become enraged , " including those, as you ve stated, that can t handle the word NO!!
Do people actually listen to these documentaries? The presenter and specialist agree that watching horror has not been proven to lead to psychotic behavior! The mom seems like she was in total denial and yes neglectful and didn't they smell what he was doing in his room??? Wow.....i think it could have been avoided....
I am sad for his mother! Also for this boy! But he does have mental issues! He did plan his mother's death. I can't believe they gave him only 16 years! He should have got Life! He took a Life!!
The guy at 20:45 says Daniel started to hit himself and punching the wall, yet at the beginning they said he never showed any signs of self-harm..... So.... Yeah,...what? There are many stupid conclusions in this documentary too
You're right. Self-harm includes striking oneself with non-lethal implements like hands, walls, basketballs, as well as potentially lethal ones like knives, hammers, or sidewalks. Long before I was diagnosed with borderline personality, I started slapping myself as an alternative to hitting the person that was nearest me, whether that was the person triggering my rage or not; at one point I beat myself so hard and so long with walls, floors, and furniture that I went to the ER after the rage had passed, where they insisted on running X-rays and a CT scan to be sure nothing had been fractured--and I know they didn't believe me when I assured them that it was self-inflicted. The difference is, I continued to search for answers until I was diagnosed accurately, and have been getting treatment and counselling for 3 decades though the diagnosis happened less than five years ago. Daniel is an example of what I could have become if enough people hadn't been concerned over my behavior after the traumatic brain injury that has shaped my life!
Done. Twice. It's very good advice and I had graduated, taken a year off, and begun a second round of DBT by the time I was diagnosed. It took 2 arrests and a court order to obtain the psychiatric evaluation that confirmed what I had known for 25 years--that major depression was NOT the only thing happening inside my traumatically injured brain. Thankfully, I am finally in a good life situation with minimal triggers and a slew of understanding people around me. Thank you for your support!
@@wendychavez5348 Most welcome Wendy, I'm glad to hear you fought to be validated and that you are living breathing your life worth living. Thank Goodness!
So many signs that something was going wrong with him and mom does nothing. Anybody can see that peeing on toys is not normal, never mind the defecation. That's not normal. I would have contacted a mental healthcare worker at the point of discovering the stolen underwear.
@Col83 Why did he not know? Because he did not care? Like the father of my boys? It is easy to blame it it all to the mothers...every day society grabs into the families, but if it comes to problems, blame it on the mothers. Shame on you. In puberty the role of a mother steps back. Where are the male role models?
Man, I got so pissed off and the total lack of concern from everyone. "people wihh personality disorders chose to hurt people" No they don't. That's why a personality disorder is a disorder of judgment as well as mood. This boy was screaming for help and was left to cope with it by himself while being brushed off by all adults that were responsible for him.
I saw another doc on this channel where he appears and is quite a brilliant artist. He admits to having difficulties understanding emotions. I agree with you, he was screaming for help but no one heard. It was just a terrible situation where no one knew how to react that ended up in tragedy
Um what? Not you sympathizing with someone who can't even sympathize because they have no emotions. Psychopaths aren't interested in help because they don't see anything wrong with their behavior or mental state because in order for you to seek help and believe something is wrong with you you have to have a strong sense of self and a conscience something psychopaths and sociopaths lack severely. Another thing is they DO CHOOSE to hurt people because most psychopaths get off on violence or seeing living things suffer. There's literally hundreds of interviews online and even blogs and facebook groups where sociopaths and psychopaths meet discussing getting off on seeing others suffering cause they experience power and what not. Some of ya'll are delusional and naive I swear. Perfect victims for antisocial personality types
Yeah, the mom and her partner (and presumably his father) saw *clear* signs that something was not right with this kid well before his violence spiraled out of control, but they just buried their heads. I understand that, I really do - but when my 11yr old began showing signs of anxiety, we got her help IMMEDIATELY. We didn’t wait for it to become so big that it crippled her. And, honestly, shouldn’t every family get therapy following a divorce or other major life stressor???
They all saw the signs. But she was in denial, deep denial. What could the step-father have done? She was clearly the type of woman who thinks her child could do no wrong and if the step-father had brought it up no doubt he would never be allowed near them again. Plus she wouldn't pay any attention.
TigerheartedWolf Sadly, I think you're probably right. But the stepdad /mom's boyfriend could have tried to step up more up get the kid help - even if that meant making the mom mad. What's more important? And the biological father, if he's in the picture at all, should have done something, as well. With ALL these teenage killers - really almost 100% of them - there have been signs that people either chose to ignore or refused to acknowledge or address. We fail as parents when we do either of those. Our kids are HUMAN...there are some who are going to have mental health struggles and it's *OUR RESPONSIBILITY* to help them when this happens, not bury our heads in the sand.
Great description of narcissism and psychopathy, but what really got on my nerves was the fact that they kept calling her a loving mother. She may have not physically abused him, but she appeared to shut down and disconnect herself from her child. I believe the lack of connection plays a roll in all of this. That being said he obviously he had some issues which should have been addressed long before this happened.
Yes. I've known a few mothers who are good at looking perfect to everyone on the surface, but are horribly cruel and abusive when no one else is watching.
Yes, I've even seen family members have very disruptive children and they act as if they don't even see it. I've seen some of these children grow up to have a lot of difficulties in life. It's more prevalent than we think.
Still not her fault though. If its the mothers fault its just as much the fathers fault too. There are millions and millions and millions of us who have gone through far worse abuse and dysfunctional families then this and who have never and will never hurt murder or rape someone. Sorry but some people are just born evil. Psychopaths are born.
If I found my 11 year old watching 18 rated films, I’d hit the roof. This whole story screams poor parenting. Kids need structure, discipline and boundaries. When they push their luck, they need to be shut down quickly and in no uncertain terms. It’s like those tv shows about problem dogs.. it’s always the owner’s lack of ability to lead and control the animal correctly. This lad was totally lost and ended up going down a very destructive path. Sad.
@@christinerobinson890 Yes because murders and violent crimes never happened before the 20th century. Oh wait... They totally did. IF you had actually read the FBI report on violent media and their influence on mass shooters, you'll find that video media actually had little effect. Most offenders were reported to be most affected by violent literature. And statistically since the invention of video and the digital age violent crime has overall been on a steady decline. The general theory is that visual media doesn't cause someone to go bad, but it can be something that's either a hobby or an obsession in people who go bad. Some people are born bad, some people are made bad but violent videos aren't gonna make you bad. You have to already have it in you.
When my son was 11, he was not allowed ro have a computer in his room. And i did monitor what sites he accessed and talked to him about anything i found questionable, in a genuinely curious manner. Honestly, we were all trying to figure out this technology thing out. My son was born December 1994. So, he seemed to come of age as smart phones did. It was hard for parents to determine how to handle all of this.
Problematic children is often reason for divorce. Takes lots of sacrifice to raise normal children, imagine how hard is to raise child with mental illness. Fathers usually are first to run away from problems.
I don't know, the small information we have about what went on in the home, it doesn't sound like she was a good mother. It is also very possible for a child to be physically or emotionally abused and still show love to that parent. This child screamed for help and no one helped him. It is not normal to steal your mother's underwear. It's not normal to defecate and urinate on your belongings. It's not normal to have a child seeking out that kind of violent media at that age (never mind being given access to it). It's not normal for a child to think inanimate objects are telling him to do things. It sounds like the family had money, and to people involved, if they had money, then they must be good parents. But nothing this mother did made it seem like she was a good mother. It doesn't mean she deserved to die, but she also hugely failed her child.
Come on,! I’m a mother there was WAY SO MANY signs of emotional disturbance, and She didn’t do nothing but QUESTION HIM?. this dr. Is right, the boy was emocional neglected. A mother totally involve in her own world and the partner the same.
Adriana Leon , I think your 100% right and I would even add to that , that the lack of attention from his Mother was probably that her Son reminded her of her Ex Husband . Hence the neglect .
Well my gawd how many red flags do you need before you take action! My Lord this kid was saying he wanted to kill his mom and writing stories about it ,and drawing pictures about it etc. As much as you love your kids I would have sent him off to his father and some intense therapy
I agree so much! The mother definately didn't deserve to be murdered by her own son, especially in the manner she was.. but I was very annoyed on how ignorant she was towards Daniel's behaviour. I mean, desinating and urinating on your items is a "normal thing that teens do", REALLY? She should of acted on Daniel and his behaviour a long time ago and got him some help
The role of a parent just does not end because your kid behaves badly. As a parent you are the responsble one and ahe needed to take him to A&E for a psychiatric assessment.
What seems to me that she did notice and I agree she didn't know what to do. I know some parents who know their kids are off the scale and try to get help but people do not believe the parents and say well he's just a kid. I've seen it happen too many times
Not necessarily he has to pass the parole board hearing and if deemed not ready for society then he can wait yrs til next parole hearing. Also they slowly reintegrate them bk into society with ankle monitors for awhile etc but some inmates never get released!!!
At what point do we stop assuming his reason and ask him? I'm 3/4 through the video and all this speculation and stupid psychology talk is pissing me off. I was that kid. There is more.
@@francesegan8344 that childs a heartless psychopath, nothing he did was a cry for help, it was all calculated and thought out to benefit himself in some way.
My ex husband walked out on me and my four children, who were young at the time. My daughter later rebelled and misbehaved. She is a lovely woman now, so it doesn't have to end in disaster.
@@alexochoa1476 WOW, you are one seriously messed up dude! I'm guessing you're talking from your own experience, but you cannot label all mothers like that!
@@alexochoa1476 .....we got another mommy hater here! Are you a little phycho to?? Do you need attention 🤔 Or you just another pos that doesn't wanna pay child support?
He *shat* on his toys?! Was he using airtight Tupperware for his toys or why didn't they smell it? I mean, bathrooms are still smelly some time after flushing, and he kept more than one of his pinched loafs in his friggin' room!
You mean this boys bio dad. ? I know right. He saw him on weekends. Mom should just send him off to mental health ward or DADS house. Enough of dads hiding. Also his sude of family may have had illnesses. I would want to know.
A study has been carried out which has proven that psychopaths brains are wired diffently. Personally, I believe that all the disturbing videos he (the child) watched, including the one from Coronation Street, did have a major impact on his psyche. I think the mother may have overlooked a lot of the boy's negative behaviours because she was suffering from guilt over her failed marriage. This is a very tragic case. May the mother rest in peace.
I Love the documentaries but, you need to fix that audio tracks. Bad mixing. Not only in this one. Lots of other videos from Real Stories have this issue. Sometimes we can´t hear the narrator or vice-versa because of the loud music or because of the loud voiceover. It´s a construct critic, i´m an audio and mixing professional. Fix the sound mixing please!!
There were signs that he needed help and he even shared a graphic violent story to his mom and step dad. Perhaps this was his way of trying to share what was in his mind in an attempt to get help. His mom clearly brushed it of instead of sitting down with him to see where this violent story came from. She could have gotten him help for not only his violent thoughts but also his feelings of isolation.
Nothing is excusable but I am sorry this mum was clearly not caring about him, he watched inappropriate image, she doesn’t care, he is lying and being aggressive, she doesn’t care, he is pissing and pooing in toys, she doesn’t care, he is hearing voice, she doesnt believe him, he is escaping from home, she doesn’t care... like come on, your kid is screaming for attention!!!
its debdebs - yeah I agree. She totally didn’t deserve what happened to her, but with the way she pretty much ignored all the warning signs and allowed the issues to escalate, she was asking for trouble. So sad for everyone involved. He should’ve had help much sooner. May have been different...?
Even if the mother didn't want the dad in his life unless he was a risk of harm to the kid or was going to damage him in some way then it doesn't matter what she wants. It's what the child needs. Hate seeing petty mothers making their kids suffer because they don't like the dad anymore.
@Wolf4077 father's should have just as much say, unless they are not safe to be around. Too many times people let the mom's make all the decisions, and she dont involve dad until she feels like it or its in their best interest. It took both of them to have a child
It said in the video that the dad got weekends, so I’m pretty sure he did have them part time. He probably just didn’t want to be brought up in the video.
At 12 I remember well and I understood everything pretty well.I am so tired of these people thinking poor child..O had 5 brothers and sisters so I knew life was not all about me and my parents were good parents. This kid is a spoiled murderer end of story
@@leilanim7338 yes, they seem to skip that "awkward" phase that everyone I knew went through growing up...it's like a right of passage and they are just passing it up 😂😂
I've been watching horror flicks since age 7 or 8 & at 37 I still love them. I disagree that this is a factor. Something was already wrong & the added stress of everything that came with the divorce was probably the breaking point. I also think he was probably spoiled as well & that all came to an abrupt end with the divorce. But many kids grew up watching horror flicks & are perfectly fine people.
LaToya Banks farming game, its been renamed to story of seasons here in the us. I mean i know its not like black ops or something,and them are the type of games that get blamed for violence, but my point is, if them games cause violence, then why dont i have fields of crops growing? Same principal.
Mar that true Danial only killed one person serial killers as term goes kills many as in series hence serial killer so you absolutely right call that out
To be classified as a serial killer there must be at least 3 victims killed in a series of attacks, not at once and no fewer than three. So you are absolutely correct, the killer in this case is just that, an ordinary murderer, not serial killer. So misleading of the channel.
Some of the evidence of his “disturbed mind” or psychopathology is ridiculous: mum cooked dinner but he ordered a pizza! Plenty of authors write about murder without following through on the act. The stepfather’s testimony is problematic: he told his mother he hated her. Plenty (if not all) children do this at some point in time.
Those things in isolation obviously can be innocent. But when amongst the many other signs he exhibited, they take on a new meaning. They are important in understanding his frame of mind.
Technically in terms of psychiatry they are absolutely not, because the person still knows the right from wrong and they still choose to commit the thing that they want regardless of the social rules and possible repercussions of which they are quite, if not fully aware.
Mental illness can be treated; personality disorders, not so much- because how do you change someone's fundamental personality, even if it is maladaptive? Depression, bi-polar, things of that nature can be seen as chemical imbalances in the brain and corrected to some extent, but personality disorders, biologically, are just the way some people are wired...at least that's the way I see it
@@HomoLegalMedic I'm curious, since you said you have been diagnosed with ASPD, there is new thinking that many people with ASPD go their whole lives without a diagnosis and live their lives mimicking the world around them, and not even realizing themselves what makes them different (read I Am A Psychopath by Athena Walker on talkspace.com), was that your experience if you don't mind my asking?
@@cleanserene6330 I talk with Athena on occasion because I'm also an author on the topic of psychopathy on Quora; Aaron John Smith. That's pretty much accurate. Only the ones who get diagnosed for research, curiosity (like myself) and for criminal proceedings ever find out, the rest just live their life never knowing; just adapting and surviving the best they can.
Why do their problems have to stem from their mother? That's one of the issues of today is that we tend to put blame and shame on others rather than putting sole responsibility on the person who commited the crime.
well its a common know trait for violent murderers and serial killer is that they got mommy issues, in this case Daniel was already bad in the head, the stuff involving his mother just triggered it.
Because he was a child, if he was an adult i'd feel differently but his mother failed to see the very obvious red flags from the start. If you don't want to take responsibility for your kids then don't have any
Daniel was a spoilt brat. If my son stole my underware I'd know something wasn't bloody right @@ wtf she laughed it off. I blame her ... They speak about him being naughty? He needed intervention way beforehand.
Kid 100% was mentally ill. Not psychopathic, but definitely sociopathic. Mom was emotionally neglectful. She was not abusive, but early on she couldn't see that his behaviors were mental illness and later on she willfully chose not to see his behavior as mental illness. Her inaction aided in her death, but she didn't deserve it. The kid could have been mitigated with intervention of mental health professionals but he was ignored. Tragic all around.
A lot of mothers think that turning a blind eye to whatever their kids do is a sign of what a good loving mother they are. Violet Kray was a prime example every one in Bethnal Green knew what they were but she refused to admit that HER boys could possibly do anything wrong. Even after hearing witnesses talking about the things they did insisting that everyone else was lying Society is crazy on the one hand we admire that loyalty but condemn them when their kids go off the rails
Angela Bonnett thats right. Or how much u try and help them. Also plenty of people in worse situations would never think of doing the things this kid did 🤷🏻♀️ there’s no set formula for life- we’re all individuals and have to take accountability for their own actions
I like it how the experts refrain from telling that the boy was schisophrenic. When a person starts pooping all around that's clearly psychosis, not "a cry for attention".
Stealing mums underwear is signs of incest towards his mother.. They seem to minimise that as him just being naught.. Wtf they can't link it to incest even after he kills her
I can't believe Daniel still has a TH-cam channel till this day even tho his now in prison. Even Elliot Rodger's TH-cam channel got taken down recently.
I was affronted when Mr McIntyre started this show with the statement about "the son and their mothers". You do realise that most of these children who murder and murder their mothers come from broken homes or dysfunctional families so why was the father's absence apart from weekend visits, does one NOT think this might be part of the problem?
It probably *is* part of the problem, but rightly or wrongly, the role of 'nurturer' has typically fallen to the mother (or the person in that role)... It's perhaps simplistic but the theory is known as 'nature vs nurture' 🤷♀️
The doctor is absolutely right. My son had issues at 16 he got the help he needed he today is mentally I'll on meds. We must never ignore bazaar behavior
Boohoo his parents divorced. Oh, and he wanted to go to private school. Such a spoilt brat. Should've been sectioned as soon as they found out he defecated into his toys. Here what comes when you spoil your kids and allow them to do what they want.
Wolf4077 um are you okay? Psychopaths don’t care about who they kill and if it wasn’t his mother then it would be someone else. Why are you making excuses?
Wolf4077 The kid must have been messed up in the first place. It’s not like they were completely neglected, they had all the toys they wanted but some children have nothing and kept in poor conditions and still don’t end up killing their mother. From what I’ve heard, the mum could have been more affectionate but it will never be her fault that her son killed her if it wasn’t self defence. And I definitely won’t feel safe with him back on the streets because it’s likely he will do it again since he had no remorse. This isn’t normal.
when you are that age.. whatever you feel you are is a direct mirror of how you are brought up by your parents... he is not to blame.... he was neglected emotionally.. ad that can make kids do strange things.. as we are here seeing
Why has this been named Coronation Street killer? I am only a few minutes in but I can't carry on watching because the loud music over the talking is too distracting
Dan Data Lol gimme a break! The dark net isn't responsible for this kids murder rampage, nor does it cause emotional damage. Some sites can be unsettling, but it doesn't leave you "psychologically damaged" 😅
fascinating that the narrator never mentions the boy's biological father...where was he in this picture? If the mum couldn't handle this disturbed boy, why didn't the dad step in to take over his responsibilities?
@@jacquiemather688 They actually do mention the father. They say that he was seeing less of him so he saw his father as a victim of the divorce but apparently the father also had zero responsibility for making sure that his son got any help.
I won't let my sons have tablets or computers in their rooms. Period. Being isolated and spending tons of time online can't produce a good outcome for a troubled kid.
My heart goes out to Simon...he’s not his dad so he can’t discipline, he had to sit back and watch this all happen but unable to do anything💔 Poor guy!!
This story is very one sided. Im not saying what Daniel did was ok but we need to hear his side of the story too. Things dont add up as to why he behaved like this.
Yeah we should hear us story....i'm sure he can justify why he murdered the woman who gave birth to him, payed for his private education and provided him with the spoilt lifestyle he had
Yeah, well...it sounds like to me the mom ignored the signs that something was mentally and emotionally not right with her son. I am not saying that gave him the right to kill his mom, but who knows what was going on that (perhaps) provoked him to deal with this violently. He needed help and was denied that to save face. That's what I see.
I think the mother has alot to answer for though. Why did he have access to over 18 horror films and video games at 8 and 9? Then she finds her underwear hidden in his room and him p**sing & sh**ting all over his bedroom at 12 and says 'that's what kids do?' She should have intervened way earlier and sought some serious professional help. She even ignored the schools recommendation that he needed mental health care.
Emily Wilkins I'm not blaming the mother, no way did she deserve it...however as his main carer she had a responsibility to him. Giving him access to violent video games and ignoring blatant mental health problems just added fuel to the fire. He clearly was very mentally unwell and alot of red flags were ignored. Good parenting is more than feeding and clothing your child, but guiding them and getting them psychological help if they show signs of being disturbed.
It all comes down to childhood trauma, he obviously wasnt having his feelings validated, possibly his feelings about the divorce of his parents, he needed help to heal his trauma, its a shame it had to go so far as murder...
Ones can't handle a divorce then ur not going to make it in life.Im so glad my parents are an been divorced.Together their not good,no abuse or anything but just not good so with that said ones need to explain why it happened in the first place and just let them know triple gifts and triple Birthdays an that the kid or kids are still loved,it don't change that and help them get use to it an know why its better to be divorced.Thats what I did with my kids and their glad their dad and I aren't together.In life many things are alot worse then a divorce.With mental illness as he had an has would be there regardless,divorced or not.
Seems like they're putting all the blame on his mum, where was his dad when all this was happening?
Sorry didn't see your comment.
I agree with you totally where was dad when all this was going on ..i know my divorce experience isn't like all cases but it is like most my exwife and me were ALWAYS in communication when it came to our children if one of my kids as much as scraped a knee when they were in her care I expected to hear about it so something like this why was dad involved
Doesn't seem like the bio dad was around or did anything to help the mom and step dad out with daniel. He was a distant father. This poor woman. No mom wants to admit their child has issues and she was doing what she thought was right. I don't blame her one bit. Sure things shoyld have been done but we can say that now after the fact but I don't think anyone saw this coming.
Im sure daniel regrets his actions everyday and it's something he has to live with forever. Such a tragedy. My heart thoughts and prayers go out to the youngest son and Simon. I don't know how they get through day to day tasks. God bless them!
Where was the dad? Probably desperately fighting the mother to see his boy and be part of his life.
Doris Karloff yep anything is possible. Maybe the mother was sexually abusing the child. See how speculation works?
How did this woman not know that there was something VERY wrong with her son? If my 11 year old was urinating and defacating on their things and in their room I'd have them at the doctor's office in a heartbeat.
She was neglectful, that's why the murder happened in the first place.
Sure. Blame the mother!
Emily Wilkins - We have a bad parent issue in the UK that needs to be solved, don't try to hide the issue.
Valken
She was neglectful but he was a nut and woulda been that antisocial weirdo we see at a hospital cleaning the restrooms and smiling and giggling to himself, then retreating to the empty lonely basement where he felt comfortable...we see/interact with these people everyday and write them off as strange
It's terrible that she died but she did nothing to help the situation. He already had issues but was clearly crying out to help and she didn't take him seriously. Even the step-father was aware that he had issues. Everyone likes to think their children are little angels but the fact of the matter is that they are their own people. They can be bad. She was in denial and it cost her.
i feel so bad for the younger brother. this poor kid witnessed his older brother bashing his moms head in and setting the house on fire and lying about it too. imagine her screams and the little brother had to hear that. the poor baby
I feel for the poor child, life time of therapy will be needed.
But I can bet that despite that horrific trauma the little brother endured, he will not grow up to be a killer!
@@NickyM_0 i hope hes okay :(
@Kelly Day I agree, I don't believe these people are made, I believe they're born that way, otherwise their siblings would all be the same. All of us are capable of killing if we needed to, but to want or need to for enjoyment has got to be a naturally occiring brain wiring problem.

No kidding. What was the father's role in all of this?
@@cyrene7784 I know sounds like the poor boy wanted his dad and wasnt getting access to him
@@shirleyhunter3462 I actually read it as the dad bouncing , not wanting the kid or not having time for him as he lived his new life free of his kids. He bought him an expensive computer right? That's a guilty purchase if I've ever heard of one. He was also refusing to pay for his schooling. A lot of mom's will shield their children from the fact that dad doesn't want them anymore. Notice how the dad's face was blurred out of the documentary? He doesn't take responsibility for what's happened.
Maybe because the stepdad was around in the custodial home and he would be able to observe the dynamics of the family and daniel.
@@shirleyhunter3462 He was seeing his Dad regularly though.
He crapped and peed in his toy bins. End of discussion. He was unwell, regardless of whether he really heard voices or not. When you add all of it together, it's Adam Lanza and his mother all over again. I guess we can all take a breath and be relieved that he stopped after only killing his mother, but I think this is a real warning to all parents who make excuses for their child's odd behaviors instead of taking them seriously.
Did y’all know that something like 95% schizophrenics were severely sexually abused as children? This kid shows all of the signs of a child that was severely sexually abused.
But who would had sexuality abused him? Are you suggesting his mom sexually abused him?
Adrienne Wrn demonic possession. Definitely.

@@BabyLoveXs6 stupid comment
''with a 16 year sentence to serve, his story is now over'' Except it's not...He'll be out by 30. He was already callous and psycho before spending his teen and young adult years in prison. He'll get released and become a serial killer.
Sana exactly what I was thinking… Premeditated murder and he’s out in 16 years, WTF!
Sana maybe the coronavirus will get him and no one will have to worry about him after a release
16 years for murder??? You've got to be kidding. He's just getting the best criminal education available and will bring it out the unsuspecting public. Wow.
Sana it's a minimum of 16years. This psycho is bound to step out of line when his in jail IMO so hopefully he won't see the light of a free day any time soon.
16 years is not enough!
Ok if I defecated and urinated in my room, my Mom would have been keenly aware of the odor! There seems to have been a lot of denial.
" Denial" should be the title of this story.
Perhaps she never entered his room until the time when she cleaned it out.
Right!? The mom had some major mental issues and contributed and possibly even caused her son's mental issues
Fear as well
Girl101 Yes, from what Simon told us about him standing angrily over her she probably was scared of him, and that's why Simon was the one cleaning his room. They could most likely smell it, and decided something had to be done.
So the terrible trauma he experienced was having to move house, a new school and his parents splitting up? So he killed his mother. What would he have done had he experienced real trauma like physical, sexual and emotional abuse, poverty and true neglect.
Probably killed other people.
You push down problems, too. It is the wrong way...
Everyone experiences trauma differently, especially the very young.
I think mom had favorites,,most get over it. ,yet he didn't. Just because you have more kids from a new husband ,you shouldn't ignore your frist kids. There was red flags.
@@jennjeffs4893 I agree. When parents split up , children are so delicate emotionally; they blame themselves. If you dont sit them down and actually talk from the heart to them you will have big problems. I feel like he felt like he had lost everything and no one understood. I'm sorry his poor mother died but I can't help feeling empathy for this lad too.

i find that ppl feel a type of shame..about mental health problems..like his mother not wanting it to get out. if you're child is acting this way that raises reg flags.. its best to get help as soon as you can.
Not as easy as that. In the uk it can take over 10 years for you to get help from social services for out of controll behavior. Schools need to refer the child for this help which goes to your drs which then goes to a pediatrician and so on and so on. Its an endless system of BS and 9/10 the child is never seen and becomes a violent offender.
Also this was early 2000s its now 2019 and only now are we starting to take away the shame and talk about mental illness. Back then this wouldnt have even been mentioned
What a decent mother who cared more about their reputation than getting help for her son.
I think he lacked discipline.. he was a spoiled brat. I'd kick his little a** if he was my kid.
@@horsluva0758 exactly!👍
Good luck with that one
Scuse me- what about killers' relationships with their dads? I would think at least as often ,that would be a factor.
Who cares, this ones about the mothers impact.just sit back relax and learn something.
Exactly...Why didn’t the dad day or do anything?? I am sure the dad saw things that weren’t right with the son too...it’s easy to blame the mom!!
@@amypatrick632 well seeing how the kid killed his mom its more about the dynamics between the mother and son.its only a 40 min documentary. Lol

Tailored Effect , think you just hit the nail on the head my friend . She didn't care and was probably resentful to the lad as he reminded him of her ex husband . Either way this kid was let down .

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: Ladies (and gentlemen), your first priority after divorce should be your children. Your love life can wait.
people need to stop blaming anyone here... the blame is the divorce.. you have NO IDEA what impact that can have on a kid when they are at the age of finding thier identity and who they are and what is what... divorces need to happen b4 kids are 4 years old,.. after that.. its to traumatic... and its the same old thing... parents get divorced.. mum meets new guy.. new guy tries to play dad.. mum gives more attention to new guy.... seen it OVER AND OVER AGAIN... this really messes with kids head and personality, so please stop saying "he was just a syco.. as he was fine till they divorced..
There’s not much in this documentary about the parents and I don’t find the case interesting enough to go digging. It certainly trauma is a big player in this case. The second partner gives me the impression the divorce situation was more complicated than implied in the documentary
@@davidanthony4960 "the blame is the divorce". Some couples live absolutely miserable lives. Are you saying that the miserable lives they live are always better for the kids than a divorce?
There's so much finger pointing at the mother in spite of everything the professionals are saying this documentary is so slanted. The way it's filmed is so sensationalized and melodramatic.
yeah that women with the dark hair went out of her way to portray the mother as a saint and has an excuse for every one of the mothers failings...
You can't explain the inexplicable. Sixteen years in prison will teach him new skills. The cycle continues.
@@UrbanWildlifeUK that's like the opposite of what i said
This channel tends to present very over-produced, skewed and sensationalized content. The stories are interesting, I just wish they'd reevaluate their approach.
The part where it says that horror movies triggered fear excitement no it triggered fight as he was predatory not prey.. In different natures, different responses are triggered.
In a person that's not predatory it would be more likely trigger fear as a prey response as they would recognise themselves as the victim not the main horror character which is what he will have identified with
i'm floored by the fact that the dude just assumes this kid was too lazy to go to the bathroom, like that's a normal adolescent thing to do, and "taking him to task" will sort it out. how in the world did these two ignore the obvious and severe signs of mental illness in this child for so long?
It's funny how they never consider that serial killers can also come from families that spoil them rotten. Too much love and permissiveness is just as harmful as none at all. It´s not only abuse that makes a killer, it´s not being able to say no, ever, and letting him get his way. The first NO triggers so much rage, they can´t accept it and become violent.
Good point yes I agree, depending on the person s nature "anyone" can become enraged , " including those, as you ve stated, that can t handle the word NO!!
That's enabling not love. Love doesnt spoil a child to uselessness.
Cite an actual case where that is what happened.
I'm under the impression that a serial killer has killed at least 3 people though, from this documentary this little demon only killed one
He's not a serial killer. Everyone knows what a serial killer is.
Do people actually listen to these documentaries? The presenter and specialist agree that watching horror has not been proven to lead to psychotic behavior!
The mom seems like she was in total denial and yes neglectful and didn't they smell what he was doing in his room??? Wow.....i think it could have been avoided....
Talk about victim blaming.Where was the father in all this?!
Being rapped by the gynocetric family court.
I would have sent this little psychopath to his dad and let him deal with it. Clearly the mom was too weak to deal with this boy.
I assume you are talking about the murdered victim? Why should the psycho murderer's Grandfather have any responsibility?
So true!! always is the mother's too blame
moms broke up with the dads
I would have sent him to live with his dad. He needed someone who could handle this behavior.
ikr
his father may not have been any better though
He needed more than anything a parent could do. He needed intense psychiatric treatment.
Yeah and then it would probably be his dad that would be dead today! The boy has mental issues!!
I am sad for his mother! Also for this boy! But he does have mental issues! He did plan his mother's death. I can't believe they gave him only 16 years! He should have got Life! He took a Life!!
The guy at 20:45 says Daniel started to hit himself and punching the wall, yet at the beginning they said he never showed any signs of self-harm..... So.... Yeah,...what?
There are many stupid conclusions in this documentary too
Right and no one got this boy any help at all they just blamed it on movirs and videos
You're right. Self-harm includes striking oneself with non-lethal implements like hands, walls, basketballs, as well as potentially lethal ones like knives, hammers, or sidewalks. Long before I was diagnosed with borderline personality, I started slapping myself as an alternative to hitting the person that was nearest me, whether that was the person triggering my rage or not; at one point I beat myself so hard and so long with walls, floors, and furniture that I went to the ER after the rage had passed, where they insisted on running X-rays and a CT scan to be sure nothing had been fractured--and I know they didn't believe me when I assured them that it was self-inflicted. The difference is, I continued to search for answers until I was diagnosed accurately, and have been getting treatment and counselling for 3 decades though the diagnosis happened less than five years ago. Daniel is an example of what I could have become if enough people hadn't been concerned over my behavior after the traumatic brain injury that has shaped my life!
@@wendychavez5348 Well done for getting well Wendy. Keep going, and try DBT if you havant already and need /want further support
Done. Twice. It's very good advice and I had graduated, taken a year off, and begun a second round of DBT by the time I was diagnosed. It took 2 arrests and a court order to obtain the psychiatric evaluation that confirmed what I had known for 25 years--that major depression was NOT the only thing happening inside my traumatically injured brain.

So many signs that something was going wrong with him and mom does nothing. Anybody can see that peeing on toys is not normal, never mind the defecation. That's not normal. I would have contacted a mental healthcare worker at the point of discovering the stolen underwear.
not all mothers are capable and balanced. perhaps that's WHY these kids are abnormal.
Dad did nothing either
@Col83 Why did he not know? Because he did not care? Like the father of my boys? It is easy to blame it it all to the mothers...every day society grabs into the families, but if it comes to problems, blame it on the mothers. Shame on you. In puberty the role of a mother steps back. Where are the male role models?
Man, I got so pissed off and the total lack of concern from everyone. "people wihh personality disorders chose to hurt people"
No they don't. That's why a personality disorder is a disorder of judgment as well as mood. This boy was screaming for help and was left to cope with it by himself while being brushed off by all adults that were responsible for him.
I saw another doc on this channel where he appears and is quite a brilliant artist. He admits to having difficulties understanding emotions. I agree with you, he was screaming for help but no one heard. It was just a terrible situation where no one knew how to react that ended up in tragedy
@@ladysarcasm6226 how is the doc called?
Um what? Not you sympathizing with someone who can't even sympathize because they have no emotions. Psychopaths aren't interested in help because they don't see anything wrong with their behavior or mental state because in order for you to seek help and believe something is wrong with you you have to have a strong sense of self and a conscience something psychopaths and sociopaths lack severely. Another thing is they DO CHOOSE to hurt people because most psychopaths get off on violence or seeing living things suffer. There's literally hundreds of interviews online and even blogs and facebook groups where sociopaths and psychopaths meet discussing getting off on seeing others suffering cause they experience power and what not. Some of ya'll are delusional and naive I swear. Perfect victims for antisocial personality types
Yeah, the mom and her partner (and presumably his father) saw *clear* signs that something was not right with this kid well before his violence spiraled out of control, but they just buried their heads. I understand that, I really do - but when my 11yr old began showing signs of anxiety, we got her help IMMEDIATELY. We didn’t wait for it to become so big that it crippled her. And, honestly, shouldn’t every family get therapy following a divorce or other major life stressor???
They all saw the signs. But she was in denial, deep denial. What could the step-father have done? She was clearly the type of woman who thinks her child could do no wrong and if the step-father had brought it up no doubt he would never be allowed near them again. Plus she wouldn't pay any attention.
TigerheartedWolf
Sadly, I think you're probably right. But the stepdad /mom's boyfriend could have tried to step up more up get the kid help - even if that meant making the mom mad. What's more important? And the biological father, if he's in the picture at all, should have done something, as well.
With ALL these teenage killers - really almost 100% of them - there have been signs that people either chose to ignore or refused to acknowledge or address. We fail as parents when we do either of those. Our kids are HUMAN...there are some who are going to have mental health struggles and it's *OUR RESPONSIBILITY* to help them when this happens, not bury our heads in the sand.
TigerheartedWolf 👍👍👍
Old cheek pimple
ever think the mother has her own problems and shortcomings?
Great description of narcissism and psychopathy, but what really got on my nerves was the fact that they kept calling her a loving mother. She may have not physically abused him, but she appeared to shut down and disconnect herself from her child. I believe the lack of connection plays a roll in all of this. That being said he obviously he had some issues which should have been addressed long before this happened.
Yes. I've known a few mothers who are good at looking perfect to everyone on the surface, but are horribly cruel and abusive when no one else is watching.
Yes, I've even seen family members have very disruptive children and they act as if they don't even see it. I've seen some of these children grow up to have a lot of difficulties in life. It's more prevalent than we think.
that is a form of emotional abuse especially with a child that young.
Still not her fault though. If its the mothers fault its just as much the fathers fault too. There are millions and millions and millions of us who have gone through far worse abuse and dysfunctional families then this and who have never and will never hurt murder or rape someone. Sorry but some people are just born evil. Psychopaths are born.
If I found my 11 year old watching 18 rated films, I’d hit the roof. This whole story screams poor parenting. Kids need structure, discipline and boundaries. When they push their luck, they need to be shut down quickly and in no uncertain terms.
It’s like those tv shows about problem dogs.. it’s always the owner’s lack of ability to lead and control the animal correctly.
This lad was totally lost and ended up going down a very destructive path. Sad.
Tim TPDRUMS brilliant comment
Tim TPDRUMS and violent media IS bad for people. They poo-pooed the influence, but that in and of itself is enough to make someone violent.
@@christinerobinson890 Yes because murders and violent crimes never happened before the 20th century. Oh wait... They totally did. IF you had actually read the FBI report on violent media and their influence on mass shooters, you'll find that video media actually had little effect. Most offenders were reported to be most affected by violent literature. And statistically since the invention of video and the digital age violent crime has overall been on a steady decline. The general theory is that visual media doesn't cause someone to go bad, but it can be something that's either a hobby or an obsession in people who go bad. Some people are born bad, some people are made bad but violent videos aren't gonna make you bad. You have to already have it in you.
The problem is he probably had structure and discipline but then after the divorce his life turned to chaos
When my son was 11, he was not allowed ro have a computer in his room. And i did monitor what sites he accessed and talked to him about anything i found questionable, in a genuinely curious manner. Honestly, we were all trying to figure out this technology thing out. My son was born December 1994. So, he seemed to come of age as smart phones did. It was hard for parents to determine how to handle all of this.

I truly believe there were signs there before the divorce. This sort of behavior starts at an early age. He's a psychopath...
Problematic children is often reason for divorce. Takes lots of sacrifice to raise normal children, imagine how hard is to raise child with mental illness. Fathers usually are first to run away from problems.
I don't know, the small information we have about what went on in the home, it doesn't sound like she was a good mother. It is also very possible for a child to be physically or emotionally abused and still show love to that parent. This child screamed for help and no one helped him. It is not normal to steal your mother's underwear. It's not normal to defecate and urinate on your belongings. It's not normal to have a child seeking out that kind of violent media at that age (never mind being given access to it). It's not normal for a child to think inanimate objects are telling him to do things. It sounds like the family had money, and to people involved, if they had money, then they must be good parents. But nothing this mother did made it seem like she was a good mother. It doesn't mean she deserved to die, but she also hugely failed her child.
Thank you for this comment, well said
Come on,! I’m a mother there was WAY SO MANY signs of emotional disturbance, and She didn’t do nothing but QUESTION HIM?. this dr. Is right, the boy was emocional neglected. A mother totally involve in her own world and the partner the same.

"...tells the complex stories of serial killers'..." I'm reasonably certain that one murder does not make a serial killer.... by definition.
When he gets out you can welcome the psycho to your neighborhood & maybe he’ll move in right next door to you......
yeah. thats what i question myself as well
So many kids show huge red flags of mental distress and their parents ignore it all. Such a shame, they don’t even have a chance to get better
Well my gawd how many red flags do you need before you take action! My Lord this kid was saying he wanted to kill his mom and writing stories about it ,and drawing pictures about it etc. As much as you love your kids I would have sent him off to his father and some intense therapy
Penny Sue, the script he wrote about killing his mother was found AFTER her murder
Jesperado maybe but still there were so many more
I agree so much! The mother definately didn't deserve to be murdered by her own son, especially in the manner she was.. but I was very annoyed on how ignorant she was towards Daniel's behaviour. I mean, desinating and urinating on your items is a "normal thing that teens do", REALLY? She should of acted on Daniel and his behaviour a long time ago and got him some help
The role of a parent just does not end because your kid behaves badly. As a parent you are the responsble one and ahe needed to take him to A&E for a psychiatric assessment.
What seems to me that she did notice and I agree she didn't know what to do. I know some parents who know their kids are off the scale and try to get help but people do not believe the parents and say well he's just a kid. I've seen it happen too many times
but his story ISN’T over. he’ll be out by 30...😬
Same thing I was thinking.

Not necessarily he has to pass the parole board hearing and if deemed not ready for society then he can wait yrs til next parole hearing. Also they slowly reintegrate them bk into society with ankle monitors for awhile etc but some inmates never get released!!!
At what point do we stop assuming his reason and ask him? I'm 3/4 through the video and all this speculation and stupid psychology talk is pissing me off. I was that kid. There is more.
The volume fluctuations make this video intolerable to watch.
Exactly!
She loved that he was in his room... So she didn't have to deal.
so very true that child cried for help and got nothing
@@francesegan8344 that childs a heartless psychopath, nothing he did was a cry for help, it was all calculated and thought out to benefit himself in some way.
My ex husband walked out on me and my four children, who were young at the time. My daughter later rebelled and misbehaved. She is a lovely woman now, so it doesn't have to end in disaster.

Since his dad was sooo awesome I would have sent him to live with him!
Bitches are too evil for that.
Even if there kid's hate them
Greed.
@@alexochoa1476 WOW, you are one seriously messed up dude! I'm guessing you're talking from your own experience, but you cannot label all mothers like that!
His dad left his mom
His mom made him like her and now let's give him to dad
Give him to dad first
@@alexochoa1476 .....we got another mommy hater here! Are you a little phycho to?? Do you need attention 🤔 Or you just another pos that doesn't wanna pay child support?
Most women would never let the father have custody.
He *shat* on his toys?! Was he using airtight Tupperware for his toys or why didn't they smell it? I mean, bathrooms are still smelly some time after flushing, and he kept more than one of his pinched loafs in his friggin' room!
Smelly after flushing? What on earth are you eating?
What about their deadbeat fathers?
Cheyenne Brown speaking on experience ?
You mean this boys bio dad. ? I know right. He saw him on weekends. Mom should just send him off to mental health ward or DADS house. Enough of dads hiding. Also his sude of family may have had illnesses. I would want to know.

Why do they all keep making assumptions rather than talking with the child and asking him why he did these various things?
that would take a highly qualified psychiatrist and psychologist specializing in this type of disorder.
A study has been carried out which has proven that psychopaths brains are wired diffently. Personally, I believe that all the disturbing videos he (the child) watched, including the one from Coronation Street, did have a major impact on his psyche. I think the mother may have overlooked a lot of the boy's negative behaviours because she was suffering from guilt over her failed marriage. This is a very tragic case. May the mother rest in peace.
and what about the father ? did even less
@@n-as1012 Ha! Good point. (The stepfather comes off looking the most parental in all of this.)
I Love the documentaries but, you need to fix that audio tracks. Bad mixing. Not only in this one. Lots of other videos from Real Stories have this issue. Sometimes we can´t hear the narrator or vice-versa because of the loud music or because of the loud voiceover. It´s a construct critic, i´m an audio and mixing professional. Fix the sound mixing please!!
This doco made me so mad.....so many red flags!!! Poor boy
Plenty of children have had their parent's split up/divorced and they don't murder ANYONE--mom included--just a damn excuse
Everyone is different
Rob 7 came to say this. Some people are so ignorant.
Coupled with his personality disorder (resentment/obsession with mother) made him a ticking time bomb
It is a part of the whole story, not more.
Rob 7 yeah some people are evil like him
There were signs that he needed help and he even shared a graphic violent story to his mom and step dad. Perhaps this was his way of trying to share what was in his mind in an attempt to get help. His mom clearly brushed it of instead of sitting down with him to see where this violent story came from. She could have gotten him help for not only his violent thoughts but also his feelings of isolation.
Nothing is excusable but I am sorry this mum was clearly not caring about him, he watched inappropriate image, she doesn’t care, he is lying and being aggressive, she doesn’t care, he is pissing and pooing in toys, she doesn’t care, he is hearing voice, she doesnt believe him, he is escaping from home, she doesn’t care... like come on, your kid is screaming for attention!!!
its debdebs - yeah I agree. She totally didn’t deserve what happened to her, but with the way she pretty much ignored all the warning signs and allowed the issues to escalate, she was asking for trouble. So sad for everyone involved. He should’ve had help much sooner. May have been different...?
100% agree
Amen!
Hes mother was a lazy mum she negelected him emotionially id say she was to caught up with her new bloke and new baby.
Yes the natural father should have continued to be a strong part time presence in his boys life. A sad situation.
Even if the mother didn't want the dad in his life unless he was a risk of harm to the kid or was going to damage him in some way then it doesn't matter what she wants. It's what the child needs. Hate seeing petty mothers making their kids suffer because they don't like the dad anymore.
@Wolf4077 father's should have just as much say, unless they are not safe to be around. Too many times people let the mom's make all the decisions, and she dont involve dad until she feels like it or its in their best interest. It took both of them to have a child
Strong "Part Time Presence"
Oxymoron
It said in the video that the dad got weekends, so I’m pretty sure he did have them part time. He probably just didn’t want to be brought up in the video.
At 12 I remember well and I understood everything pretty well.I am so tired of these people thinking poor child..O had 5 brothers and sisters so I knew life was not all about me and my parents were good parents. This kid is a spoiled murderer end of story
Guy Anderson that’s what I said
100%
Wow i was edgy at 14 but jeez.
lol. right, my kid thought she was badass bc she was "Emo" 😂
Same lol. Lasted about a year 😂
He took edgy to a whole new level
Jennifer S. Everyone’s been there lol. Except for kids now, they just skip the emo stage now.
@@leilanim7338 yes, they seem to skip that "awkward" phase that everyone I knew went through growing up...it's like a right of passage and they are just passing it up 😂😂
I've been watching horror flicks since age 7 or 8 & at 37 I still love them. I disagree that this is a factor. Something was already wrong & the added stress of everything that came with the divorce was probably the breaking point. I also think he was probably spoiled as well & that all came to an abrupt end with the divorce. But many kids grew up watching horror flicks & are perfectly fine people.
MissMandy I agree
Absolutely! The movies and games we play have NOTHING to do with how we act. I play nothing but harvest moon, but i dont however have a farm 😂
I know i play games and horror flicks. 53.
Nobody Of The Young Gun Crew Ok what's Harvest Moon.?
LaToya Banks farming game, its been renamed to story of seasons here in the us. I mean i know its not like black ops or something,and them are the type of games that get blamed for violence, but my point is, if them games cause violence, then why dont i have fields of crops growing? Same principal.
He won’t even serve 16 years actually he’s probably out now absolutely disgusting
Hes still locked in a max security prison for mentally ill people. Idk if he will be let out early, but I hope not!
You called it a serial killer documentary when there's only one victim.
Marr Morrissey This channel always does that 🤬
Trust me
The poor Star Wars figures
Mar that true Danial only killed one person serial killers as term goes kills many as in series hence serial killer so you absolutely right call that out
To be classified as a serial killer there must be at least 3 victims killed in a series of attacks, not at once and no fewer than three.
So you are absolutely correct, the killer in this case is just that, an ordinary murderer, not serial killer.
So misleading of the channel.
Some of the evidence of his “disturbed mind” or psychopathology is ridiculous: mum cooked dinner but he ordered a pizza!
Plenty of authors write about murder without following through on the act.
The stepfather’s testimony is problematic: he told his mother he hated her. Plenty (if not all) children do this at some point in time.
Marmaduke Scarlet I agree with you. Ps- your cat is cute 🐱 🐾
Those things in isolation obviously can be innocent. But when amongst the many other signs he exhibited, they take on a new meaning. They are important in understanding his frame of mind.
If he'd eaten my mother's cooking I'd not blame them for ordering a pizza.
The point is: He was provoking them, looking for attention and fights. It wasn't about the pizza or the pond.
This piece of work needs to be kept securely and away from the general public for the rest of his miserable life
My disabled son has never defecated nor urinated in his room. He is held responsible and loves his job and friends.
Lol.
Yes my niece has downs syndrome and she wouldnt do that. 🤔🤨😐😑😶🙄😏
"Personality disorders are not mental illnesses" umm.. yes they are.
Technically in terms of psychiatry they are absolutely not, because the person still knows the right from wrong and they still choose to commit the thing that they want regardless of the social rules and possible repercussions of which they are quite, if not fully aware.
I have antisocial personality disorder. They're not mental illnesses. They're mental abnormalities, which is different.
Mental illness can be treated; personality disorders, not so much- because how do you change someone's fundamental personality, even if it is maladaptive? Depression, bi-polar, things of that nature can be seen as chemical imbalances in the brain and corrected to some extent, but personality disorders, biologically, are just the way some people are wired...at least that's the way I see it
@@HomoLegalMedic I'm curious, since you said you have been diagnosed with ASPD, there is new thinking that many people with ASPD go their whole lives without a diagnosis and live their lives mimicking the world around them, and not even realizing themselves what makes them different (read I Am A Psychopath by Athena Walker on talkspace.com), was that your experience if you don't mind my asking?
@@cleanserene6330 I talk with Athena on occasion because I'm also an author on the topic of psychopathy on Quora; Aaron John Smith. That's pretty much accurate. Only the ones who get diagnosed for research, curiosity (like myself) and for criminal proceedings ever find out, the rest just live their life never knowing; just adapting and surviving the best they can.
OMG heaven forbid a dude has to take responsibility for his actions.
He actually has, is not the one who's saying that lol He's a man now.
Why do their problems have to stem from their mother? That's one of the issues of today is that we tend to put blame and shame on others rather than putting sole responsibility on the person who commited the crime.
Psychology doesn't work like that. You're a product of your biological self, the brain, your environment and how you were raised.
I think the fact that he had access to such violent material was a testament to how present she was as a mother.
well its a common know trait for violent murderers and serial killer is that they got mommy issues, in this case Daniel was already bad in the head, the stuff involving his mother just triggered it.
Because he was a child, if he was an adult i'd feel differently but his mother failed to see the very obvious red flags from the start. If you don't want to take responsibility for your kids then don't have any
jbaby007 she was negligent and incompetent
Daniel was a spoilt brat. If my son stole my underware I'd know something wasn't bloody right @@ wtf she laughed it off. I blame her ... They speak about him being naughty? He needed intervention way beforehand.
I blame his father much more. He just walked away to play and didn't do a damn thing to help straighten his child out.
Anne-droid my kids father walked away also....spent all his days in and out of jail. My kids still don't steal my fecking underware
I blame him.
Paul90 😂
A M you would be suprised what physiological damage spoiling a child can do..
Kid 100% was mentally ill. Not psychopathic, but definitely sociopathic. Mom was emotionally neglectful. She was not abusive, but early on she couldn't see that his behaviors were mental illness and later on she willfully chose not to see his behavior as mental illness. Her inaction aided in her death, but she didn't deserve it. The kid could have been mitigated with intervention of mental health professionals but he was ignored. Tragic all around.
A lot of mothers think that turning a blind eye to whatever their kids do is a sign of what a good loving mother they are. Violet Kray was a prime example every one in Bethnal Green knew what they were but she refused to admit that HER boys could possibly do anything wrong. Even after hearing witnesses talking about the things they did insisting that everyone else was lying
Society is crazy on the one hand we admire that loyalty but condemn them when their kids go off the rails
Sometimes very broken ppl are just broken no matter how much you analyze every step they make....
Angela Bonnett thats right. Or how much u try and help them. Also plenty of people in worse situations would never think of doing the things this kid did 🤷🏻♀️ there’s no set formula for life- we’re all individuals and have to take accountability for their own actions
Correction, a lovingly emotionally neglectful family
What I saw a few months ago: Coronation Street Killer
What I see now: Corona-
Wrong! What you see now is lies and propaganda.
YES-WE-CAN.
How can she be a “ loving mother” when she allows her son to watch violent videos and was emotionally neglectful?
If my child behave in such a way (soiling clothes etc) I wouldn't hesitate to look for professional help
It's a shame the audio was edited by a deaf person. I was looking forward to watching this.
No condom commercial could hold a torch to this documentary. Wrap it before you tap it people
Needs to be a new slogan for condom commercials!!! Wrap it b4 u tap it!!!!
Hilarious!!! Really good one.
😃
😂😂😂👍
😂
I like it how the experts refrain from telling that the boy was schisophrenic. When a person starts pooping all around that's clearly psychosis, not "a cry for attention".
Stealing mums underwear is signs of incest towards his mother.. They seem to minimise that as him just being naught.. Wtf they can't link it to incest even after he kills her
My Mom was mentally ill, physically and verbally abusive. Years and years. I never thought about hurting her or anyone else.
Yeah welldone for noticing we aren't all the same lol there was no point for tour comment tbh
That's sad, my mum was an angle, I loved her until her death in 2020.
Haha what a story mark
I can't believe Daniel still has a TH-cam channel till this day even tho his now in prison. Even Elliot Rodger's TH-cam channel got taken down recently.
I was affronted when Mr McIntyre started this show with the statement about "the son and their mothers". You do realise that most of these children who murder and murder their mothers come from broken homes or dysfunctional families so why was the father's absence apart from weekend visits, does one NOT think this might be part of the problem?
My words. It is a society problem, too. Grabbing into families every day, but if it comes to problems, blame it on the mothers.
It probably *is* part of the problem, but rightly or wrongly, the role of 'nurturer' has typically fallen to the mother (or the person in that role)... It's perhaps simplistic but the theory is known as 'nature vs nurture' 🤷♀️
The doctor is absolutely right. My son had issues at 16 he got the help he needed he today is mentally I'll on meds. We must never ignore bazaar behavior
He went to a bazaar as well?
Boohoo his parents divorced. Oh, and he wanted to go to private school. Such a spoilt brat. Should've been sectioned as soon as they found out he defecated into his toys.
Here what comes when you spoil your kids and allow them to do what they want.
maybe the school was the only stability the kid had left
Wolf4077 um are you okay? Psychopaths don’t care about who they kill and if it wasn’t his mother then it would be someone else. Why are you making excuses?
Wolf4077 The kid must have been messed up in the first place. It’s not like they were completely neglected, they had all the toys they wanted but some children have nothing and kept in poor conditions and still don’t end up killing their mother. From what I’ve heard, the mum could have been more affectionate but it will never be her fault that her son killed her if it wasn’t self defence. And I definitely won’t feel safe with him back on the streets because it’s likely he will do it again since he had no remorse. This isn’t normal.
Unmmm no. It’s not good to soil you child, yes but by not it’s not very common for The child to kill their parents
"How to get away with murder?" ~Don't google 'how to' materials or make a murder play starring yourself~
isnt that what casey anthony did? searching chloroform online?
Disco Biscuits yep, and yet she still got away with it 🤦♀️
Nowadays, a suspects online search history is one of the first things that the police check.
he clearly felt SUPER entitled & it’s like when he’s out..he’s gonna think the world owes him... scary
when you are that age.. whatever you feel you are is a direct mirror of how you are brought up by your parents... he is not to blame.... he was neglected emotionally.. ad that can make kids do strange things.. as we are here seeing
Why has this been named Coronation Street killer? I am only a few minutes in but I can't carry on watching because the loud music over the talking is too distracting
The kid copied a murder from the show Coronation street
Fin Regan 🤣🤣🤣

Dan Data Lol gimme a break! The dark net isn't responsible for this kids murder rampage, nor does it cause emotional damage. Some sites can be unsettling, but it doesn't leave you "psychologically damaged" 😅
Id murder a bowl of cornflakes
He sounds like a real spoiled brat. Where was his dad anyway?
fascinating that the narrator never mentions the boy's biological father...where was he in this picture? If the mum couldn't handle this disturbed boy, why didn't the dad step in to take over his responsibilities?
@@jacquiemather688 yes no one spoke about the father throughout the whole documentary...I wonder if the child moving in with him was discussed?
He was developing a serious mental illness and the parents were in denial
@@jacquiemather688 They actually do mention the father. They say that he was seeing less of him so he saw his father as a victim of the divorce but apparently the father also had zero responsibility for making sure that his son got any help.
@@jojomang3016 He stopped payig for the private school?? I wonder if he re-married and no longer felt able to pay for the school?
This could've been avoided had an actual adult been parenting and sought help for this kid who couldn't process anything properly.
I agree.
I won't let my sons have tablets or computers in their rooms. Period. Being isolated and spending tons of time online can't produce a good outcome for a troubled kid.
cant hear the talking over the music :(
It's fine if u have head phones
My heart goes out to Simon...he’s not his dad so he can’t discipline, he had to sit back and watch this all happen but unable to do anything💔 Poor guy!!
I hate the concept of this program it’s always the mother never the absence of a dependable male.
This story is very one sided. Im not saying what Daniel did was ok but we need to hear his side of the story too. Things dont add up as to why he behaved like this.
Olivia Jazmine Psychopaths live in their own reality. Very little of what they do makes any sense to normal people.
Because all you'd get from him would be "I wasn't allowed to play on my XBox"
Olivia Jazmine , Yes I agree 100% with what you say .
Yeah we should hear us story....i'm sure he can justify why he murdered the woman who gave birth to him, payed for his private education and provided him with the spoilt lifestyle he had
He showed all the signs of a child that was being severely sexually abused
This could have been a really interesting docc, except the music and sound effects are so loud it drowns everything else out.
Horrible
Heinous
Hideous man

It bothers me a lot when children of parents blame one parent for divorce. Marriage is a team thing.
Children don't know better, they are not married yet. 🙂
Is it not lack of said teamwork that usually leads to divorce?
What about the father
Divorce is often the result of one parent not working as a team. You can't do it on your own.
Do you not eat bread because it contains gluten?
Just a whole lot of speculation
Yeah, well...it sounds like to me the mom ignored the signs that something was mentally and emotionally not right with her son. I am not saying that gave him the right to kill his mom, but who knows what was going on that (perhaps) provoked him to deal with this violently. He needed help and was denied that to save face. That's what I see.
Honestly! I was shocked at everything she laughed off?!?? How many more signs did she want?!?
She was as sick as him...
@@karlheinz4265 yeah I reckon both parents had issues themselves that were factors along with many other things that led to this dreadful event
Music too loud reupload!
I think the mother has alot to answer for though. Why did he have access to over 18 horror films and video games at 8 and 9? Then she finds her underwear hidden in his room and him p**sing & sh**ting all over his bedroom at 12 and says 'that's what kids do?' She should have intervened way earlier and sought some serious professional help. She even ignored the schools recommendation that he needed mental health care.
What about his father? Why wasn't he helping his child?
Nice. Blame the mother. Unfortunately she won't be answering much cause she's dead. She was MURDERED remember!!
Emily Wilkins I'm not blaming the mother, no way did she deserve it...however as his main carer she had a responsibility to him. Giving him access to violent video games and ignoring blatant mental health problems just added fuel to the fire. He clearly was very mentally unwell and alot of red flags were ignored. Good parenting is more than feeding and clothing your child, but guiding them and getting them psychological help if they show signs of being disturbed.
It all comes down to childhood trauma, he obviously wasnt having his feelings validated, possibly his feelings about the divorce of his parents, he needed help to heal his trauma, its a shame it had to go so far as murder...
no its not. no emotional trauma is strong enough to cause something like a mental disorder or psychopathy.
Convict: What are you in for?
Kid: Corrie.

Ones can't handle a divorce then ur not going to make it in life.Im so glad my parents are an been divorced.Together their not good,no abuse or anything but just not good so with that said ones need to explain why it happened in the first place and just let them know triple gifts and triple Birthdays an that the kid or kids are still loved,it don't change that and help them get use to it an know why its better to be divorced.Thats what I did with my kids and their glad their dad and I aren't together.In life many things are alot worse then a divorce.With mental illness as he had an has would be there regardless,divorced or not.
